Chapter 106 – {The Thieves’ Conspiracy}
{The Thieves’ Conspiracy}
The thieves who succeeded in securing diamonds on a large scale in Africa and their leader, Kang Mi-hyeon, are now back in Korea.
Kang Mi-hyeon is an amazing beauty with semi-long hair and dark pink eyes, but her cruel personality is feared by many people in the back world.
And now, his subordinates were also reporting in front of her, keeping an eye on them.
“Exploding the dungeon in Ui-dong Valley near Mt. Bukhan?”
Kang Mi-hyeon asked his subordinate Lee Kyu-cheok’s report back with little interest.
From her tone of voice, her subordinate said cautiously, seeing that she was not very interested in the matter.
“Uh… Captain. It’s insignificant compared to the diamonds the captain secured on a large scale this time, but Ui-dong Valley is still a pretty good tourist destination. If you can get government support, it will be a pretty good money.”
“Okay?”
“Yes. We have insurance to receive compensation for the damage caused by the monster, so if you deliberately make the dungeon run wild and cause monsters to pour out… The damage compensation will be substantial.”
“Leave it on its own. I’m not interested.”
“Ah yes…”
At Kang Mi-hyeon’s words, her subordinate Lee Gyu-cheok bowed her head and did not report this to her anymore.
But he decided to be content with her giving her permission to take care of it.
‘If you make the dungeons near the Ui-dong valley runaway and make monsters pour out on a large scale… ‘
Since it was due to an attack by natural monsters, he was able to get a huge amount of insurance money.
In the process, countless people could get caught up in the attack of monsters, and even Ui-dong could be attacked by monsters, resulting in many casualties, but it didn’t matter.
That was the villain bandits.

The dungeon created near Uidong Valley was avoided by many magic awakeners.
It was because it was a weak dungeon, so the level was high, but the money was not very good.
Those who entered and came out of this dungeon used to avoid it because the monsters were not bothersome to deal with, but the actual fighting was not so good.
In dungeons left unattended like this, the monsters inside proliferate and eventually lead to a runaway.
The monsters pouring out of the runaway dungeon would attack defenseless civilians and cause many casualties, and although the scale is not large, the dungeon in Ui-dong Valley, which has its own role as a tourist destination thanks to its natural scenery, will become a problem in the country over time. He would have dispatched the Magic Awakeners directly to deal with it.
But until then, people nearby will always be anxious.
“Cheon, I think that as long as this dungeon exists, everyone living nearby will feel anxious and uncomfortable.”
“It will.”
“So today, I want to reduce the number of monsters here as much as possible, or get rid of the dungeon so that everyone living nearby can feel at ease.”
I nodded my head at Yeeunchae’s words.
“I’ll help you too. It’s your business, so I have to help.”
“Thank you, Chun!”
Normally, if I saw a dungeon like this, it would be annoying and I would have dispatched the Magic Awakeners of the Yuchun Group to deal with it, but I would not have stepped forward myself.
It was because there was no oblivion, or it was because it kept bothering me if I didn’t erase it if I saw the possibility of causing casualties.
‘From this point of view, it’s inconvenient not to have oblivion.’
I looked at the dungeon as I recalled the side effects of oblivion that prevented me from forgetting grudges and favors.
‘Hmm, I can feel it.’
The inside of the dungeon was no different from the fragments of another dimension other than this world.
That’s why it was difficult to grasp the inside, unlike simply grasping the inside of a cave, but I was able to grasp the inside of a large crack.
‘The monster inside is a kind of killer ant.’
One was not very strong, but it was a type of monster that summoned allies.
However, this was only the beginning, and going inside was even more troublesome.
‘Is it sticky woods?’
A slime-like monster that shoots sticky slime.
Although not poisonous, it was a monster with no offensive abilities other than shooting sticky slime.
However, it was this monster’s characteristic that assisted other monsters in the dungeon to hunt intruders.
The sticky mucus fired by Sticky Woods made me feel dirty when hit, but if I did it wrong, my body would become dull and I could die without being able to properly respond to the attacks of other monsters.
It was the main reason why this dungeon became an unpopular dungeon.
‘Most of them would be reluctant to deal with.’
The combination of Sticky Woods and Killer Ants is really the worst, and the Sticky Woods shoot slime between the Killer Ants to dull the intruders, and then the Killer Ants attack and hunt them down.
Even if you kill Sticky Woods or Killer Ant, no valuable magic crystals come out.
The hardships were severe, but the results were almost non-existent.
‘Crucially, this dungeon…’
Looking at the time of appearance, internal structure, and location of this dungeon, this dungeon was clearly a dungeon from the original novel.
* * *
Good luck!
A horde of monsters poured out of the dungeon came down to Ui-dong and attacked countless civilians.
Numerous screams and screams were poured out, and the massacre of both the elderly and children ended with the belatedly coming warriors of the Ye family subjugating all the monsters.
However, the cries of children who had already lost their parents, as well as the cries of parents who had lost their children, could be heard from everywhere.
“It’s not time for the dungeon to explode yet, so why did it happen like this?”
Ye Eun-chae could not hide her sadness and anger as she watched this tragedy unfold in front of her eyes.
If the dungeon didn’t run out of control naturally, but someone intentionally ran out of control… She would never forgive him.
Approaching a girl about to be seven years old who was crying after the loss of her parents, Ye Eun-chae tried to soothe the little girl by trying to give her a soft smile.
“It’s okay. Her sister will look after her. Her mom and dad came to visit her sister and she asked to look after you? Can you tell her sister her name?”
“Hey, uhhhhh! Mamaaaaa…Dadaaaaa…”
Ye Eun-chae felt sorry for herself that she was not good at consoling herself, and she just hugged the crying little girl.
She belatedly rushed in and helped to deal with the monsters, but she already felt sorry for not being able to make those who were sad like this happy.
She knows it’s a meaningless assumption, but she even hears her regret that she should have come a little sooner.
“Eunchae.”
And her Seomun-hyeon came up to her and said.
“Really, if this dungeon was run over by someone like you said… I won’t forgive you.”
“Me too, Hyun.”
Exhausted from crying, she held the sleeping girl in her arms, and Ye Eun-chae bit her lip so hard that her blood flowed slightly, she said.
“I will surely pay for this sin.”
* * *
‘It was a scene where Ye Eun-chae was extremely angry after seeing the tragedy.’
Recalling the content, I knew from the reader’s point of view that the culprit of the incident was later Kang Mi-hyeon’s gang of bandits.
To be precise, the subordinate Lee Kyu-cheok reported it to Kang Mi-hyeon, and it happened with permission to do so.
However, after that, Seo Mun-hyeon lied according to his own delusion and made Kang Mi-hyeon evade responsibility by saying that he did not know about the incident and that Lee Kyu-cheok was just doing it on his own.
* * *
“Eun-chae, Mi-hyeon did not know what happened at that time, and she is sincerely reflecting on the fact that her subordinate did it on her own.”
Seo Mun-hyeon lied to Eun-chae Ye, who thought she could not forgive Kang Mi-hyeon, saying that she was not involved in the matter, even though she might be responsible for failing to manage her subordinates.
What Kang Mi-hyeon said was something he had given his permission to do had already become something that didn’t even exist in his head.
“The end of the world is approaching, and right now we have to stop it first, right? So, Eun-chae, give Mi-hyeon a chance too.
“Hyun, can she really be sure that the woman didn’t know?”
“Yes, I can be sure. I swear by my name.”
Seo Moon-hyun sincerely thought so and said with a soft smile.
However, Ye Eun-chae believed his words, but did not abandon the possibility that Kang Mi-hyun lied.
She couldn’t even imagine that Seo Moon-hyeon had lied to her and that he was lying to her.
“I’ll believe you, her friend, if you say that, but… If the woman really got involved, and she lied to you, I will definitely kill her and make her pay for her sins.”
“Eun-chae. Killing a criminal doesn’t necessarily mean paying the price for his crime, right? You’re sincerely reflecting, and you should give those who didn’t directly intervene a chance to rehabilitate.”
Seo Moon-hyeon spoke in a stern tone to Ye Eun-chae, who thought she would punish evil unconditionally.
* * *
‘Even in the original work, readers’ swearing at Seo Mun-hyeon was great in this scene.’
In the original work, his aspect as a hypocrite was most severely revealed, and for reference, it was the time when he mercilessly killed his own brother, Seo Mun-cheon.
‘Kang Mi-hyeon’s subordinate organization took the lead, but even though Kang Mi-hyeon herself wasn’t interested, she allowed it to be done on her own.’
In other words, Kang Mi-hyun’s responsibility was also clear.
