    “You’re a complete joke.”

    Armed Wolf Undram spat on the floor.

    “While Joo Gong-hyeok and the Demon King were exhausted from their fight ‘X’ took everything.”

    “Seeing as how he summoned such a large army in an instant it must have been planned in advance.”

    Wolfram the frost dragon who barely saved his life answered.

    Undram looked back at the ruined streets.

    “How many people died?”

    “There are about 3000 to 4000 victims.”

    “If it were Earth I would have said it was an enormous massacre.”

    “The war was fought in the middle of the city. “I should think this is good enough.”

    The streets that the apostles and demon beasts had reduced to ruins were not very long in total.

    Even that was suppressed by the initial action of solvers such as Soma and Hayeonsi.

    “No matter what it is true that we achieved a great harvest. “The Necropolis was almost completely destroyed and more than 10000 cultists hiding in the city were brought out.”

    “What a big harvest. “I missed the fact that I was clearly surrounded and was completely destroyed.”

    Wolfram expressed his displeasure at Undram’s sarcasm.

    “The job is done. “Let me stop.”

    “Our work is done though. “It seems like the higher-ups are talking about a lot of things.”

    Hunters were busy moving around in the ruins.

    “there! The person trapped inside has been detected! Move it carefully so it doesn’t collapse.”

    “There are aftereffects but it will get better in a few days.”

    “what? “There are thieves at a time like this?”

    “Catch him right now and smash his head off!”

    Support troops from each city cleaned up the company that had become a mess.

    There was some friction with the escort department but most accepted it in good faith.

    However the commanders’ thoughts were slightly different.

    “Are you saying you’re going to house the dispatched troops indefinitely?”

    “exactly.”

    “Does that make sense!”

    Foreign Affairs Director Alfred Hixton slammed his desk.

    King Taktap who wore a cast all over his body did not blink an eye.

    “We at Nirvana cannot stand by and watch as demonic contractors run amok in the Company.

    “We will not leave until they are all wiped out.”

    “The same goes for Wolf Fortress.”

    Grass Leaf Wolf Biro nodded.

    “When they asked us for help. The condition was that all costs would be borne by the company. “Didn’t you expect that it would be a somewhat long-term war?”

    “The promise is true and I am grateful to you all for appreciating my request. but······.”

    The foreign affairs director held back his anger by pressing his temples.

    “We have sufficiently driven out the cultists and criminals within the Company. As many as 20000 people in the past few months…”

    “If there are 20000 people is there a law preventing the number from becoming 30000?”

    “Twenty thousand people! Even 30000 people! The Company has its own history. “It’s up to us to resolve this issue on our own!”

    “The Company’s military history? “Are you talking about the escort division?”

    Wolf Biro sneered.

    “They can’t be trusted. “The leader there was a traitor in the first place.”

    The foreign affairs director’s expression hardened.

    Martunis Deputy Director of the Escort Division.

    Even though he was the head of the company he planned to trap the entire division and thousands of private solvers.

    Biro said as he trimmed his nails.

    “The only twelve executives in the company were criminals. “Shouldn’t we wait and see?”

    “We at Knights Without Borders cannot trust the escort division. However the Company is a base more important than any unique city.”

    Rondelstadt the head of the Knights’ Association had a sharp tone in his tone.

    “If possible I would like to protect the Company by contracting an exclusive escort from the Knights’ Association.”

    “Also consider the exclusive contract with Wolf Fortress.”

    “Deus has been a long-time partner of the Company. “You can trust us more than any other city.”

    “Our Nirvana…”

    Representatives talked about the company’s security contract.

    The foreign affairs director’s mustache trembled.

    “Does it sound as if the Company’s opinions don’t matter?”

    “It can’t be. However we need to closely manage ‘Company’ a city that produces the most coins the most equipment and the most food jointly across all cities.”

    The richest city. Company.

    Most of the things that maintained the power production food and unique city were closely related to the Company.

    The Company has so far controlled the market arbitrarily from its position as A.

    However now that the Company is noticeably weakened and there is a justification.

    The era of abuse of power was over and it was an opportunity to obtain the best supply city called Company if one wanted to.

    “If you don’t really like it there is also the option of signing a joint contract with several cities. “A way for troops from four cities to be stationed at the same time.”

    Amit interim representative of Deus presented a moderate plan.

    If you can’t eat alone let’s all share.

    Alfred ground his teeth in shame.

    “Their comments seriously threaten the Company’s autonomy.”

    “In order to stand alone shouldn’t independent national defense come first? “We will help first.”

    The Grass Leaf Wolf wiped his lips with his tongue.

    “The conductor betrayed. Half of the chiefs were dead and the troops must have been reduced considerably. Currently the company is in a vacuum.

    If another city attacks it cannot protect itself and it is also vulnerable to devil contracts.”

    thud

    The door to the conference room opened.

    “Where is the vulnerability?”

    The owner who opened the door was Joo Gong-hyeok.

    “I’m sorry. “This person is the representative of the company’s private solution company…”

    “That’s explained. “I’ve already seen enough of your activities.”

    King Taktapcheon waved his hand at the moving secretary who was hastily explaining.

    “hmm?”

    Joo Gong-hyeok frowned.

    He looked around but there was no face he was looking for.

    “What about Liang Xian?”

    “I came forward on your behalf.”

    Deus representative Amit stood up.

    “This is Amit the temporary branch leader. “Mr. Liang Xian went to the long-distance portal due to his injury and work at headquarters…”

    “okay. Did he run away?”

    Come on

    Gonghyuk took out a conference room chair and sat down.

    “Tell that bitch. “Next time we meet I’ll give you a pain in the back.”

    “Poo-eup!”

    He spat out the same tea that King Taktap had been drinking.

    Everyone in the conference room looked at Joo Gong-hyuk with absurd eyes.

    ‘I heard there was some friction. That kind of verbal abuse…’

    ‘Was it a love fight?’

    Rondelstadt and the Grass Wolf had conflicting thoughts in their eyes.

    Amit frowned as his executive was insulted.

    “I will tell you straight. “Rather I would like to ask you about what you just said.”

    “that’s right. Company’s vulnerability. “Are you not acknowledging it?”

    The Leaf Wolf matched Amit’s rhythm.

    Gonghyuk nodded.

    “of course. The Company is better at preparing for devil contractors than any other city. In addition independent national defense is also possible.”

    “That’s funny. The company’s escort division…”

    “The escort division was scheduled to disappear soon.”

    “what?”

    The Grass Leaf Wolf looked at him dumbfounded.

    “Why is it disappearing? “Wasn’t it the representative company of the company?”

    “hmm.”

    Gonghyuk took out a document from his inventory and threw it away.

    pole

    The corners of the thrown documents got stuck in front of each person’s desk.

    “Since two months ago the workload of private troubleshooters has been more than four times that of the escort division.”

    “Four times?”

    “We were growing a new official company under the direction of the foreign affairs director and the escort division was just a shell.

    In fact all civil complaints and official matters were being resolved at the ‘Joo & San Office.’”

    Amit pounded the table.

    “therefore. Are you saying that you are the real people that the Foreign Affairs Director was strategically nurturing?”

    “Exactly.”

    “under! “Don’t make hasty excuses!”

    Blade of Grass Wolf shook his head.

    “There is a lot of representation in a place where private companies are gathered together.”

    “Didn’t you come at the request of our ‘Ju&San’ office?”

    “…… what? “Wasn’t it a request from the Foreign Affairs Director?”

    “I guess you didn’t know exactly. “The foreign affairs director called you through our office.”

    “hmm.”

    Rondelstadt and Amit who had come to the meeting at the time let out a sigh.

    “And the grass-leaf wolf rain.”

    “huh?”

    “Don’t you think that your way of speaking is against etiquette?”

    Biro sneered loudly.

    “I only listen to our leader’s orders. “The only person who can earn my respect is someone stronger than me.”

    “I see.”

    “If I tease you would you like to have a fight?”

    Biro placed his hand on the hilt of the sword.

    King Taktapcheon quickly got up from his seat.

    “For a moment we have come to fight…”

    “It’s noisy. inspiration. “Look at that condescending behavior.”

    Biro’s skills are also among the top five within the Wolf Fortress.

    In such a tight space the first attack of the quick sword technique was an advantage.

    ‘When it comes to speed I’m second to none even the leader. Let’s play that damn guy first…’

    Joo Gong-hyeok quietly raised his thumb.

    coo

    “uh?”

    For just a moment Biro’s mind flew away.

    When I opened my eyes all I saw was a shattered piece of marble.

    My whole body was stuck on the floor.

    “From now on I too will have to earn your respect.”

    The thumb that had received the power to become gigantic was pressing down on Biro.

    Assassination and martial arts.

    He dug into the loopholes in his consciousness and suppressed them at once with the Seosinbeop’s attention-reflection movement and the Myosinbeop’s Neunggong-chuk (能空縮).

    “He wasn’t on the battlefield. “It was a mistake I made without knowing so please be lenient.”

    Taktap Heavenly King placed his hand on his gigantic arm.

    Gonghyeok nodded and lifted Biro from the floor and made him sit down.

    ‘I might have been faster than the leader just now.’

    He who was intimidated looked at Joo Gong-hyeok.

    Gonghyuk took out a pipe from his arms.

    “What I want to hear is. The company is vulnerable to devil contractors and has no power to protect itself. “It’s not that kind of premeditated excuse.”

    “…….”

    “Let’s just talk about the facts. It is true that a large number of demonic contractors have been caught in our city. “As many as 20000 people have been caught in the past six months.”

    Smoke billowed out of the pipe.

    “But what about your city? “Does the number of contractors we have caught so far reach 1000?”

    “That’s how dangerous the company’s security is…”

    “20000 people in the last six months. “Before that it was like any other city.”

    Gonghyeok’s inventory has been opened.

    Thousands of items fell from inventory.

    Just looking at the musty-smelling skull makes it seem like a cursed object.

    Wings and Contract Items possessed by demon contractors.

    A mountain formed in the corner of the conference hall.

    “I caught more contractors on my own than I caught in all cities. “I know contractors better than anyone else and catch contractors better than anyone else.”

    Afterwards he let out a sigh from his mouth.

    “If you give me just ten days I can capture a thousand people from your city. Would you like to leave it to me?”

    “That’s an exaggeration.”

    Everyone had an unbelievable look on their faces.

    “Then let me give you some clear facts.”

    An obvious sneer appeared on Gonghyeok’s face.

    “They say you are so much more capable than us. “How competent was he in this situation?”

    “What does it mean?”

    King Taktapcheon asked with a stern look on his face.

    Gonghyuk spread his fingers.

    “What of the assassination of the foreign affairs director and the handling of the city’s demonic beasts that you talented people helped with?

    Didn’t our office stop them all and clean up the city?

    I even caught the most important Death King as a private solver. “Which one is competent and which one is incompetent?”

    “That’s unpleasant. “This city wouldn’t be what it would be without us.”

    Gonghyuk closed his eyes and nodded.

    “Your help is appreciated. However idiots who have not caught even 1000 devil contractors say they are vulnerable to those who have caught 10000.

    “Isn’t it a bit ridiculous for you who haven’t even played a single important role to talk about your skills in public security?”

    “……”

    It was as he said.

    The company’s potential was unexpectedly strong.

    An attack by the Nine Apostles and the Demon King.

    The war between cities ended with this much damage.

    And the most important thing…

    “How will you protect us?”

    Joo Gong-hyeok shook off the cigarette ash.

    “Is there anyone stronger than me in your city?”

    King Saryeong was one of the strongest men in mankind.

    There are very few people who can deal with it.

    However the evil dog ‘Ömer Ashik’

    ‘Joo Gong-hyeok’ the crusader who defeated the Four Spirits King

    Two fingers grew longer overnight.
