Chapter 54 (2/2)

“You don’t seem to be the type to recklessly ignore; you would say you don’t like it outright.”

“You as well?”

“Yes. There are hundreds of instances where you need to swallow your words in the celebrity world, but there are times when you need to be straightforward so you don’t suffer damages.”

“We have similar personalities.”

“What do you think of the occasional mission together just for fun? I won’t bother you about it if you don’t want to do it.”

They do not need to go around together now but when confronted with the level D advance mission, they will become a great source of aid to each other.

Pushing through with numbers is the only way to take on a level 4 with D class gear. Experts are needed, not people who die with one blow.

If rabbits get involved to catch a tiger, they will have no effect no matter how many of them there are. However, if dozens of wolves run in, it is possible for them to rip it apart.

Ring!

“Apologies.”

Lim Si Hyun excused himself from Cha Jun Sung and picked up his call. They had disobeyed his order not to bother him for a few hours. It must be urgent.

[Hello.] [Master, you have a visitor from America. I’ll put them on the phone.]

There was a short silence while the phone was passed from person to person.

[Hi, Ghost!] [Who are you?]

Lim Si Hyun spoke in English. He is fluent as someone of a rich family should be. Only a few people beyond his family and the guild know that he is Ghost Gun.

[Me? I’m Boom Busker. Hold on, I want to talk to him!] [Sorry. We went to 7 Stars headquarters but you were missing, so we called. My name is Irina Headley, I’m Ice Queen.]

He could not understand the situation. It felt like work he had pushed back was suddenly exploding. Ice Queen and Boom Busker – why are they in Korea?

[Tell me why you’re here.] [We need to tell you in person. When will you have time?] [I’ll go now. I’ll tell the guild members to arrange a place for you to rest.]

His head hurts. Just as Han Chang Jin came looking for him, it seems the U.S. is trying to subsume famous Lifers. They had sent Ice Queen. He must be right.

“Ice Queen and Boom Busker from America came looking for 7 Stars.”

“Those are nostalgic titles.”

Various categories of rankers. When all 36 people were active at the same time, it was an age of prestige for each.

“Seeing as how they came looking for me, there is a great chance they’ll go to you as well.”

“Do you think they’ll know who I am and where I live?”

“It’ll be hacking.”

“They must be crazy.”

“I’ll arrange for a meeting with Mr. Han Chang Jin soon. I hope you won’t turn it down.”

Lim Si Hyun went back to 7 Stars. Cha Jun Sung could feel that his life would become twisted with this. He cannot hope for it to be quiet forever.

Something is bound to jump out at him with an awl in its pocket.
