Chapter 197 – 19. It Is an Enhancement Stone.
+++
There is a region in the world often referred to as the powder keg.
Even in modern times, the Middle East is constantly at war.
The Balkans have historically written down countless wars as numerous peoples, cultures, and countries are intertwined.
It is the only remaining divided country, but there is a rogue group (North Korea) that does not know where to go in the north. The old enemy (Russia) and the new enemy (China) do not let go of world hegemony in the island nation (Japan), which seeks to return to the days of powerful imperialism and advance into the continent at any time. ), The Korean Peninsula, where the eyes of the world’s superpower (USA) are focused.
There are many other gunpowder kegs, but these three areas are by far the most popular.
Among them, it is safe to say that the Korean Peninsula is not a powder keg, but a nuclear missile warehouse. As mentioned above, the great powers are concentrated, and each of them has different ideologies, different purposes and meanings, and is strangely intertwined with such a theme, so that something is not happening. This is because if it explodes, neighboring countries can be sucked in in an instant, and it is an area that can coexist with the earth.
It is not just a story limited to the Korean Peninsula. The same is true of Northeast Asia, which is its surroundings.
For that reason, the world has been focusing its attention on the Korean Peninsula in a cold sweat. Since the Tokyo defense battle not long ago, South Korea has been holding out, saying that it will possess nuclear weapons, and now it is holding out, saying that it will not withdraw its troops dispatched to Japan.
In the meantime, North Korea made another provocation without notice, but was robbed by South Korea, and is currently in the burrow.
Things like this happened one after another, and it’s strange that the world doesn’t tremble with anxiety. The outbreak of war on the Korean Peninsula is something that even the United States is reluctant to do, saying it is an event that they cannot afford.
Thanks to this, stock markets in Korea and neighboring Asian countries are recording a crash every day, and even the theory of an economic crisis is emerging.
In the midst of this, fortunately, the Korean government, which had been enduring a war of nerves with Japan for about a month, finally expressed its intention to withdraw troops, and the world, which had been breathing in tension, let out a sigh of relief.
However, the relief was short-lived, and soon the world plunged into astonishment and anxiety.
The president of the Dungeon Cooperation Organization D10 went missing along with his secretary and escorts.
Now that the whole world is struggling with dungeons, he was not simply the head of an institution, but a person who symbolized the hope and reconstruction of mankind in this era.
Especially in countries that are not able to solve the dungeon situation with their own strength.
Since he was missing, doubts and embarrassment arose one after another.
Of course, that place is Korea again.
In an instant, numerous conspiracy theories popped up, one of which was the work of the world’s largest guild ‘Haremdan’, which exists in Korea.
The Korean government initially denied it, but announced that it would mobilize as many police and military forces as possible to find the chairman, and in fact released tens of thousands of manpower to find him.
However, since he is already dead and cremated with Hyuna’s flame magic, there is no way he can be found.
[I wonder how the world is going to go back…]
[Does the Korean branch manager know anything? Didn’t the president go missing in that country?]
[That’s it… We’re trying our best to find it… But there’s no significant income yet.]
Video conference room.
Created for those who have a busy schedule and have a hard time meeting each other, this place was a very important system that connects the executives of D10, a world-wide organization.
Most of the heads of D10’s branches around the world attended the emergency meeting, and only the president and European branch manager Agnes did not show their faces.
[Come to think of it, I know that the European branch manager was also in Korea… Could it be that he went missing too?]
One person posed such a question.
A few nodded, but most shook their heads.
[That monstrous woman is missing. If she did, she must be hiding of her own volition of her. Isn’t there a lot of reasons why she doesn’t want to work?]
[Maybe he did something disquieting to the president?]
[Uh huh. Let’s refrain from speculation.]
As the words were exchanged, the noise grew louder and louder. Everyone grew up listening to the sound of elites in each country, and even before taking on the role of D10’s branch manager, they were in key positions in each country.
Among them, there was even a voice saying that the Korean branch manager might have played with the European branch manager to strengthen his own power.
‘It’s such a mess…’
Watching the scene, the Korea branch manager sighed deeply.
At times like this, we have to gather our opinions together and move in an orderly manner, but with no sign of that, we were busy doubting each other and alienating each other.
‘Hey, I’m no different.’
He knows the truth
It’s been a long time since I’ve already bowed down to Yoo-eun, so this and that information comes in without knowing.
‘Even the head of the association, Agnes, who is said to be the most powerful, became his so easily. How is this association different?’
The president is dead, and Agnes will soon emerge and eat the entire association.
And, of course, Yoo-eun manipulates her at will.
It has been less than half a year since Yu-eun as an adventurer appeared in the world, but she has already come to this point.
Crackle.
There was a noise that made the hall, which was noisy like the market floor, quiet.
It was a video transmission device connected to the D10 Headquarters, and a crackling noise was heard several times, and soon a woman’s image appeared.
She was very beautiful, her bobbed blonde hair, her youthful appearance as if she were just in her thirties, her gracefully twisted legs, etc., Absorbed her gaze into her.
[Ah, branch manager Agnes?]
She was Agnes Isabella, head of the European branch headquartered in Berlin, Germany.
It’s strange that she suddenly appeared when she hadn’t been heard of before, but it’s also strange that she suddenly appeared from the headquarters.
[No, where have you been? At the headquarters… Is the chairman also with you?]
[Where did you get hurt…]
Many of her words rained down on her.
But she didn’t answer that, she looked in the direction of her Korean branch manager and twisted her leg opposite her.
[Is there that person in Korea? A person named Yueun. When I met him in person, he was a great person. It is probably the strongest of mankind.]
[…I agree.]
[There is a person like that, but it probably doesn’t fit in a (C) level group. There is a high possibility that the relationship will be hostile, but wouldn’t it be better to be polite?]
I have no idea what you’re trying to say. Even the Korean branch manager listening to her!
But it was soon discovered in shock.
[From today, the Korean branch will be upgraded from a (C)-level organization to a (B)-level organization. As it is a country with the world’s largest guild and the world’s strongest adventurers, it was decided that it would be possible to manage smoothly only at that level, so please know that.]
[Yes?]
[Now, wait! What are you talking about!]
At Agnes’ words, the other branch managers immediately protested and stood up.
In particular, the reaction was more intense in the Japanese branch, which had completely collapsed and lost its function, and even the newly elected branch manager was unable to use any other power.
But decision.
Agnes raised her hand to stop them and repeated the same words again.
[I also made a difficult decision, so I hope you understand.]
[Under…]
What kind of absurd situation is this?
Suddenly, he popped out of the headquarters and raised the status of an organization on his own accord? This is an international organization comparable to the United Nations, and the president cannot commit such violence.
In addition, it is said that (B)-level organizations are placed on the same line as the European branch and the continental branch, but the power of the Korean branch was insufficient in many ways.
[Where is the president!]
[Even if you are the chairman, you can’t handle things this arbitrarily!]
[Why are you there in the first place? The alternate president is
[I killed the first president, Carlos Sagan.]
[…What?!]
[?]
[!!]
Shocking statement.
She revealed that she had murdered herself, and that she had killed the head of an international organization.
The words did not end there.
[Therefore, I, Agnes Isabella, will serve as the second president. If you disobey this, please do not resent it even if you suffer the anger of my noblesse corps.]
