Chapter 426
Episode 426:
As the events of Star’s End were being unearthed one by one, the beings in the dark who had heard the news were also talking loudly.
Of course, it was not a friendly atmosphere at all.
The Kings of the Night, sitting around a round table, talked about major issues in nervous voices.
“The Star’s End project has failed.”
“Was the power of fortune so great?”
“I don’t know.”
“Isn’t the information wrong?”
Everyone returned shocked looks at the last question.
“Are you doubting his true intentions?”
“Oh no... I mean, even if it were him, he wouldn’t be able to check all the information.”
“... Even if that were the case, the mistake was on our side. So watch your mouth.”
“... okay. It was something that could not be helped. But why can’t we know how strong the power of fortune is?”
“Because they were all killed by the investigators.”
“what? “What does that mean now?”
“This is my first time hearing this too. “Didn’t you lose to Jae-eok?”
“They couldn’t even get there. “They were all eliminated by the investigators.”
“This is crazy... are you sure?”
“It is certainly. “One guy survived and hid among the survivors to see how things were going.”
“So what is the conclusion?”
“We underestimated their power... I guess you could say that.”
The kings of the night never dreamed that a mere dog from the Investigation Bureau could stop something related to misfortune.
The minions sent this time were monsters capable of defeating hundreds of ordinary soldiers on their own.
That’s because even if you stab it, it will regenerate and even if you cut it, it will survive.
“I never thought the Investigation Bureau would have that much power...”
“What kind of power did those low-ranking guys have? They were always busy cleaning up after themselves.”
“It seems it was different this time. “As if dispatching personnel in advance was not enough, we also brought in quite a strong person.”
“It’s always been the case that one or two people get mixed up in the venue. “Why have you suddenly pinned a strong man down now?”
“So those one or two people are suspicious. The people they eliminated from our side were quite fit. There was also a guy who wouldn’t die even if his head was cut off. “Those guys were all wiped out.”
“....”
“It looks like the tail that was attached to the Shanxi family was discovered and died. Umm... it’s just sad news.”
Gap... Gulp...
A large man who had been drinking a lot of wine slammed down his glass.
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa8551114588 there?
The cup made of oak shattered.
“Things are getting really messy. “What’s going on?”
“Well, in the end, it’s not that big of a loss for us.”
“what?”
“The power of fortune was his order anyway, so I tried to get my money’s worth. It’s a bit unfortunate that the nobles in Star’s End weren’t exterminated. “The problem is... even if we don’t lose anything, they gain something.”
The bespectacled man sitting across from him spread his fingers.
“First, the Investigation Bureau may have recovered the power of fortune left behind in the legend. And through this incident, the surviving nobles began to unite.”
“Damn it... Nothing will change if all the toothless scarecrows come together, but it still seems like they gave us an excuse.”
“Starting work was something that could not be resisted. We need to face the consequences and come up with a solution. The good news is that the nobles of the Federation are arrogant guys who have not noticed any development during their long history.”
The table was round and equal.
Everyone expressed the same opinion and responded together.
However, there were some who had kept their mouths shut until now. Someone asked his opinion.
“What do you think, Goeben? “Isn’t there a way to break down their solidarity or keep them in check?”
“Hmm....”
“Goeben?”
“More than anything else, I thought... they might have caught our tail.”
“... what?”
“There is a problem with the distribution network. The Investigation Bureau suddenly began to intensively dig into the flow of the home. Thanks to this, we had to burn down several intact warehouses.”
“... I heard that... that it might have something to do with this incident?”
“Yes, they may have targeted Home.”
“Damn... that’s the worst.”
Home’s flow was, for them, the goose that laid the golden eggs that would bring them infinite wealth. In addition, if you combine all the hidden secrets, it is something that you should never lose.
“So, I guess I’d like to ask you something.”
“Do you have any thoughts?”
“All you have to do is show your strength. It’s simple. They are overconfident in their power. The momentum must have picked up just then. That’s why we come together. If they miserably crush the power they have prepared, everyone will get scared and scatter. You guys knew it in the first place. “How clever the nobles are.”
“Giggle... These are the people who will immediately run away. Okay I like this. What are the specific methods?”
“This time, we are intentionally leaking the location of one warehouse. A large-scale raid will probably take place within a few days. Originally... I had planned to lure them in and then detonate the bomb, but things in Star’s End are unsettling. It might be difficult to inflict fatal wounds with a bomb. “I plan to set a trap there and wait.”
“Who will go?”
“Ben Hugh and the kids he has with him.”
“He’s a guy with a heavy butt... that’s good. “If it were him, he would kill them all and come back smiling.”
Everyone nodded.
The strength of Ben Hugh and his subordinates elicited a reaction of little faith in them.
“understood. “Let’s just go that way.”
“Oh, and the crow emblem.”
“Tecon! “I completely forgot there was a guy like that.”
Tekon was a person who was killed by Kang Seol along with his subordinates. If he hadn’t messed with the snowfall, they would probably be here trying to figure out a solution together.
“There are approximately 167 crows-related organizations identified to date.”
“There are a lot.”
“Half of them are pseudo-groups. “They are people who practice black magic.”
Marijue’s eyes burned with desire.
“I will give you immunity. “You will be excused from any offenses committed during your mission.”
“... What do you mean?”
“Murder and other vandalism... No, since you are a big hand, you are probably responsible for the vandalism. “The Silver Lion Association will take care of all the financial aspects.”
If nothing else, immunity was a pretty good offer. If he negotiated well, he was a perfect person to work in the North later.
“How long does immunity last?”
“Shall we say that while Investigator Kang Seol is in the north...? “I plan to keep it temporarily even after work is over.”
“I like it, but I have a feeling it will get me into trouble. It would be better to move alone...”
“Wait! “It’s real from here!”
Twaaaaaaaaaaaa!
As Marijue clapped her hands, servants carrying suspicious-looking boxes came in one after another.
And they put them all on the table and walk away.
There were three people in total.
There are also 3 boxes.
“Please confirm it.”
“....”
Kkeikik...
‘Oh my...’
Snowfall was drawn to the light that flowed from the box.
It is a non-appropriation.
Probably because the boxes all had the same shape, they all looked like similar items.
‘Is the Silver Lion Society like this?’
“We were prepared to bleed as well.”
After checking all three items, Kangseol twisted his mouth.
All items were of good quality.
Great stuff for a decent level vs. 57-68.
Moreover, they were all usable in moderation....
“Where did you get this from?”
“It is an item left behind as an heirloom from our ancestors. “It is an item belonging to those who fought during the era of the Great War.”
“... okay.”
“If you want, one of these...”
Kang Seol rested her chin in thought, not thinking about hearing the story behind it.
They said that there was a clear deadline and that if the work was done quickly, it could be completed sooner than that.
However, Kang Seol decided that he would probably be held captive for a month.
One non-appropriation per month.
‘...Is this because I’m a salaried employee?’
I felt a little disappointed.
Mariju said as if she had read the change in his expression.
“I’ll give you one for starting the job, and I’ll give you one more if the job is successful.”
This really bothered me.
If I really stick to it tenaciously, wouldn’t it be possible to see the end within 15 days? A hopeful thought naturally came to mind.
Is the value of freedom truly greater than the value of two non-appropriated funds?
Kang Seol went beyond the realm of thinking and thought deeply about his own value.
The value of freedom was greater.
But right then.
Marijue said this while breaking into a cold sweat.
“Investigator.”
“....”
“Why do you think there are three boxes?”
A few days later.
Kang Seol had his jacket draped over his shoulders and his hat on his side.
– It was too much to say.
– The value of freedom is greater than 2 non-appropriations and less than 3.
– Worrying only delays delivery.
– Siaya, Dad, it’s late again today...
– Kang Seol couldn’t overcome the barrier of joint purchase by the investigators.
And behind him, three people dressed in full uniform.
“How does it fit?”
“What about me?”
“Don’t make a fuss. “It’s not that good.”
They were Karen, Karuna, and Ur, respectively.
The ability to select members of the special committee at will. Kang Seol formed the special committee entirely with his own strength.
“Indeed... they are suitable colleagues for a terminal manufacturing company.”
“long time no see!”
While Karen was embracing and talking with Han So-mi, something huge appeared in the dorm.
Coo...
coo...
“If I put this on, does that mean I can now move around as I please?”
“... okay. “In principle.”
Like Snowfall, he is wearing something that appears to be a uniform over his shoulders.
“Humans are quite tied to their status.”
It was Jamard.
Han So-mi held the crossbow and froze in place like a stone statue. This was after checking Jamard’s violent visuals.
“...No matter how you look at it, this is a crime.”
