Chapter 75 - It Can Be a Historic Meeting (1) (1/2)

Youngdungpo Prosecutor, Junghoon Choi…

‘This guy is different,’ Sungwoo thought.

As soon as Sungwoo glanced at him, he immediately felt this guy was unusual.

It was not because he had a big build, or because he was handsome, or because he had an item wrapped around his body that Sungwoo felt that way.

‘There is something more to him.’

Sungwoo led him into the museum. The survivors of the village were gathered in the lobby of the museum because they wanted to see this ‘Youngdungpo Prosecutor’ named who ranked 2 in the community.

“Wow. he is handsome!”

“He’s really tall. What the heck is that armor and weapon?”

Of course, Junghoon’s appearance itself was brilliant enough to claim his reputation in the community.

He was a tall and handsome man with white full plate armor and an enormous sword. He looked like the common image of a prince riding a white horse.

When he was accompanied by a group of majestic knights, the crowd burst out into exclamations.

“That person really looks extraordinary.”

“I now know why they call him a hero.”

As if his arrival were his triumphant procession, the survivors showed admiration for Junghoon, but Sungwoo felt somewhat strange when he saw Junghoo behaving pompously.

‘I felt something unusual about this man, but the survivors are overreacting now.’

Of course, it’s not an exact comparison, but the way they looked at him eagerly reminded him of the way the vampires looked at the Vampire Lord.

‘Does this guy something like a skill?’

A skill that influences people’s emotions? It was possible he had one. Sungwoo felt his possession of such a skill might not be groundless, but there was no way for him to check it right away.

‘Maybe I’m too conscious of him now.’

Suppressing an uncomfortable sentiment, he led Junghoon to the office of the business director.

“Come this way.”

Junghoon had his deputies on standby in the hallway. Then just two of them sat face to face on the sofa in the office.

Junghoon opened his mouth first, “The people here look stable. You can’t find such expressions easily anymore.”

He also showed a relaxed smile while saying so.

Although he was famous in the community and responsible for the largest group of survivors to date, he didn’t have an air of arrogance.

“I think it was good I came to see you.”

“Really? Isn’t the Youngdungpo district much more stable, is it?”

Sungwoo pulled out two cans of beverages from the small refrigerator.

“Ah, haha. Thanks for the soda.”

Junghoon opened the soda cheerfully. After taking a sip, he looked at Sungwoo again.

His smile slowly disappeared from his face.

“As you may know, the survivors in the Seoul area are gathering around the Youngdungpo area.”

To put it accurately, some groups of survivors were joining those in Youngdungpo with Youngdungpo Prosecutor Junghoon as their leader.

He then invited Sungwoo to join the guild that he organized. One of the reasons he visited here today was to persuade Sungwoo to join the guild.

“Though countless people died, the number of people in my place are by no means small as the survivors continue to gather there,” Jungoon said.

“How many are in your area?”

“Around 30,000 people flocked to Youngdungpo Station originally. I think there will be over 40,000 soon.”

30,000? To be honest, Sungwoo was surprised because there were a little less than 300 survivors in his village.

“Really? That’s a huge number.”

“Yeah, a lot. It’s overcrowded over there…’

For the first time, Jungoon made a gloomy expression.

Sungwoo asked, “If there are many survivors, aren’t they helpful to you? I thought that’s why you promoted the Safety Zone and proclaimed a guild.”

Prosecutor Yeongdeungpo was the first to post his comments on the community bulletin. Since then he has attracted people by promoting the Safety Zone.

“That’s a misunderstanding on your part. Believe it or not, I just wanted to save more lives.”
