Kylie van Agassi came a long way to meet Lee Jiwon, but she privately believed that gaining his aid was an impossible task. If all of those who had connections to the van Agassi family had turned away the Werewolf Clan, there was no reason a complete stranger like Lee Jiwon would agree to help them.
Still, he was the Clan's only hope. Lee Jiwon was the only person to ever defeat one of the Seven Monarchs, and had recently made sure his name was known all through the world via the Time Attack quest.
There was such a small chance that someone like Lee Jiwon would ever agree, but they couldn't just sit idly by and wait for their end.
”I will…” Kylie knew that it was near impossible, but she held on to that sliver of hope. When Lee Jiwon started to reply with a frown, she knew what his answer would be. He was going to turn her down like the rest of them.
Tears fell to the ground. She promised herself that she wouldn't cry, and that she wouldn't hate him no matter what. He had no reason to help her Clan. The Duke was who she had to take her anger out on, but she couldn't stop her tears.
”I'll help you.”
”What?” Kylie thought she must have misheard him. She must have have wanted him to say yes so much that she was hearing things.
”I really do need to take this chance and stick that fat pig on a spit.”
Kylie choked up. She began to cry more tears, but these were tears of joy. Those words were the sweetest words she had heard in a long time. Kylie couldn't help but run over to Lee Jiwon and embrace him in a hug. ”Thank you. Thank you so much…”

I decided to help them. I couldn't let this happen again, even if I didn't want to.
-I don't want that fat pig to get that big ever again.-
I just needed to kill him once. In the past, the Duke was only able to get that far as no one truly knew about his abilities at first, but if I could kill him once now, all of his hard work of five years would go down the drain. It would be impossible for him to ever grow stronger again.
However, this wasn't going to be easy. In these past five years, he would already have grown strong enough from consuming countless people, especially the Werewolves.
”I really do need to take this chance and stick that fat pig on a spit… huh?”
I saw Kylie run at me and had she had any intention to harm me, I would have smacked her aside, but I saw that beaming smile she had. I let her get closer when she grabbed me in a tight embrace.
”Thank you. Thank you so much…”
I was taken aback again, but not because she was crying out in tears.
-Her fur…is like velvet.-

I had gained thirty-two levels in forty-five days. That was an incredible pace considering the fact that I was past level 500. In fact, I never heard about anyone doing the same in the past.
”It looks like it'll be STR for the time being.” I gave up on getting my WIL and INT up to 10,000. Even if ranged and magic classes were superior to fighter classes, raising WIL and INT for me was wasteful. It would only get harder to get Stat points now; I had to use them wisely from now on.
”Let's aim to get STR to 20,000 and see what reward I'll get then.” I added all of my unassigned stat points and Shaman Ko's points into STR and took out the item Kylie had given me.
==[Warp Scroll to the Werewolf Clan's Sanctuary
Ripping this Activated Warp Scroll will teleport you to the Werewolf Clan's Sanctuary.]==
Kylie told me that the Faroe Islands could not be recorded into Warp Scrolls, and the only way to get to the islands was to cross the sea. This Warp Scroll was the only exception.
”Should I ask the Sunbin and the Myth Guilds for help?” I kept thinking about this after accepting Kylie's request. I had sent her off first, saying that I wanted to prepare first.
”Right. I'll make that decision after meeting with the Werewolf Clan and hear what they have to say about the Predator Duke.” I ripped the Warp Scroll in half.

As soon as I arrived at the center of the Werewolf Clan's Sanctuary, I noticed quite a big crowd of werewolves staring at me.
”It was true?”
”Lee Jiwon is actually here!”
”Hah. I know that there was no way it could be a joke, but it's hard to believe he actually came!” someone in the crowd exclaimed, and stepped forward with Kylie by his side. ”It's a pleasure to meet you, finally. My name is Lod Schutt van Agassi, the head of the Werewolf Clan.”
