Chapter 156 - Kangsok Han, No.1 on the Korean Server (2) (1/2)

“Hey, let us meet the No. 1 guy!”

“Do you think this is a big deal? Nope, it’s not. Why are you stopping us from meeting him? Is the No. 1 guy the President of Korea? Do you think your Commander is like the Premier? Step aside, so I can directly ask to see him!”

Five men were screaming into the conference room from the hallway. The Crusader Team members were blocking them, but they seemed to be very embarrassed.

“Deputy Commander!”

The crew members found Minhum approaching from behind. Then, they felt relieved because they knew he would take care of this troublesome headache.

“Hey, guys, what’s going on?”

The five guys turned to him immediately.

“You got here at the right time. Deputy Commander, you shouldn’t block player-to-player communication in this way!”

“That is why we are asking for an equal decision council and opposing the policy on the coalition operating cost. Are you really trying to pursue dictatorship?”

When he heard that provocative word ‘dictatorship,’ Minhum responded in an angry tone, “Watch your language! Who is a dictator? Who is controlling you? Kangsok Han himself has made it clear that he would not meet anybody. Why are you trying to pick a fight with us? We also can’t talk with him because he is refusing it.”

But the man who ground his nerves retorted, “Don’t make excuses like that. Do you think we don’t know you guys are monopolizing the position of No. 1 even after winning over the Necromancer? We know you sweet-talked the Necromancer into fighting the Chinese players, then reaped the sweet outcomes comfortably.”

When he said that, Sungwoo stepped forward and said, “Who is fighting whom?”

The man remained silent when Sungwoo appeared before him.

“Necromancer?”

“What the heck? When did you come?”

Some of them looked quite embarrassed because they did not expect him to appear here at all. One of them even stepped back as if he was shocked.

The images of the Necromancer as they saw through the media were so impressive that he was considered as a hero and an overwhelming power.

“Necromancer, I never expected you would be here.”

However, the three tall and heavy guys who stood before him were not moved at all.

As if they were from the same organization, they were wearing a green eagle-shaped badge on their left chest. And they were looking at Sungwoo’s eyes keenly as if they were waging a war of nerves with him.

“I’ve joined this group on my own. I’m not controlled by anybody,” said Sungwoo firmly.

Then one of the three men, who was wearing rimless glasses, sneered at him and said, “Don’t you think you’re mistaken?”

“Mistaken?”

Now, they were openly challenging Sungwoo.

“Well, what I mean is you might be mistaken that you are acting on your own? You might be playing into their hands. So, please give serious thought to it.”

Sungwoo laughed it off, then said, “Thank you for the advice. Let me tell you this. Just think carefully before you say something. You might be mistaken if you think you can get away with murder even if you shoot your mouth off these days,”

“…”

Sungwoo gave them a clear warning.

The one who stepped back at his words moved back further. The guy wearing rimless glasses shut up. Then, he passed by Sungwoo, frowning at him. The other guys followed him hurriedly.

One of them shouted, “We’re not pushovers! Don’t underestimate us.”

Sungwoo ignored them, and they disappeared down the stairs.

Minhum said, “They are the nasty guys I mentioned to you.”

“You mean they’re the members of the Reconstruction Alliance?”

“Yes. I hear they have their own leader, but we don’t know his identity.”

Sungwoo calmly nodded and said, “When you form a coalition, you should check them carefully. You don’t know who is approaching for what purpose.”

“That’s right. We are extremely careful at the moment because people with the Evolution Society might infiltrate our alliance. The Wide Area Surveillance Team, which we founded recently, is doing their job well.”

It was the intelligence unit they founded at Sungwoo’s recommendation.

Minhum opened the door of the conference room. All kinds of documents were piled up like a mountain on the spacious desk in the conference room.

Junghoon raised his head. He was taking off his full body armor at the moment, but he looked pretty haggard.

“Oh, you are here.”

“You look tired.”

“Well, I was reading some stuff before you got here. By the way, as you guaranteed, you defeated the pirates. Thank you.”

“Because I promised.”

Sungwoo sat across from him. Jungwoo looked nervous.

“I would like to ask you a lot of questions about the Chinese server, but there is someone who you need to talk to first.”

“You mean Kangsok Han?”

“Yes. Ranking No.1, Kangsok Han.”

Junghoon looked more gloomy while mentioning his name.

“I can’t find out his real identity. Besides, he said he came here to discuss something that could influence the fate of the Korean peninsula. So, I just don’t know what will happen.”

“I heard he was looking for me.”

“Yes. By the way, Sungwoo, that guy is really different. Yes, completely different from us. So, I’m not sure what will happen.”
