Chapter 451 – 451. Confidence
“Wow, the brunch is so unique.”
“Eat quietly.”
Se-ah says something in a low voice when I say something that looks like meat, an unknown soup, and a similar salad in front of me.
“No. I think it’s okay. But it’s not like they added salt instead of sugar or a lethal amount of red pepper powder or anything like that.”
“But I still have Mina.”
When Seung-hee said something, Se-ah glared slightly, but Seung-hee pretended not to notice and continued to eat.
Mina smiles as she sees that. Anna enjoys eating without complaining.
“Does Anna like it? She eats it very well.”
“Hmm. Seah’s cooking tastes a bit like Russian food.”
“Huh? What does that mean? Is it a compliment?”
“It’s delicious to my taste.”
“Really? I see.”
Se-ah looks at Anna warmly and takes her spoon again.
Is that why Se-Ah follows her Anna well? She’s a fun kid anyway.
After eating a slightly unique brunch, everyone begins to practice their skills.
Skills that are inevitably achieved outside.
They say they have no choice but to do it outside due to timing, but they still seem to secretly like being outside.
Well, it’s different from when I was skilled in skills.
I was holding my breath in the bunker out of anxiety, but they didn’t need to do that.
Only SeAH does not have a skill that she has mastered and is a little late due to taming, so Seunghee, Mina, and Anna are Tier 11.
To be honest, I don’t think there is a more powerful combination than this.
A combination that has solid fundamentals and can handle any situation. It’s a party with almost no weaknesses.
A party that won’t affect your future life without me at all. The party becomes even stronger when I’m there.
So, I can go around with peace of mind.
By lunchtime, Se-ah had mastered her timing.
Se-Ah approaches me with a proud face and speaks proudly.
“What can I learn?”
“Ah. You have a lot to learn.”
“What? Tell me. Detection tree?”
“We also need to make a detection tree. Human detection, animal detection, coin detection. And we also need to make a shield and damage reduction.”
“There are a lot.”
“Oh. And nothing is unimportant.”
“Hmm. What should I take pictures of first?”
“You have a lot of coins anyway, right? I think you should learn human detection, shield, and damage reduction, then take passive skills, then animal detection and coin detection. I think you should go in this order.”
“I really like detecting humans.”
“It’s essential. Besides, there’s no skill that receives passive damage as well as human detection.”
“Okay, then. Let’s learn human detection.”
Se-Ah starts learning and mastering skills right away.
You can count now. Now only Anna is left.
“You said there wasn’t much left, right?”
“Yes.”
“Okay. Just take pictures like I said before, okay?”
“Yes. I guess he’s going out somewhere again?”
“Uh, I have to finish up in Busan. And I have to prepare to go to Russia.”
Anna looks at me intently at my words.
The trust and expectation in those eyes seems to be recognizable to anyone but the most obtuse.
“But.”
“Hmm?”
“How do you plan to get to Moscow?”
“Oh. That? It should fly.”
“Huh? Flying? All the way there?”
“Of course, I will come and open the portal for you. Don’t worry.”
“No. It’s because I’m worried about you. The distance is huge.”
“It’s about 6,700 kilometers per hour. Well, if I master this skill, my flight speed will be about 125 kilometers per hour. I’ll only have to fly for 54 hours.”
“It’s literally more than two days.”
“What can I do? There is no way. I have to go through it little by little. So it may take some time.”
“How about we learn the gates and take turns going there?”
“It’s not that I haven’t thought about it. Let’s do that a little later. Anna, you can learn teleportation and gate right after learning Deathwind.”
“Yes…”
“Don’t worry. I’m more worried that it’s too late, and you can’t get any revenge.”
“No. Revenge… I want to do it, but I’m happy just living like this right now. So don’t push yourself too hard.”
When I put my hand on Anna’s cheek, she tilted her head and rested her head on my hand.
This is something I should have done sooner. Did I procrastinate too much?
No. Right now, we’re in a situation where we can’t even cleanly sweep out talented people from Korea and Japan, so we couldn’t just throw ourselves out there.
Now is the perfect time. Anna also became stronger to some extent.
I say hello to the four women and move on to Cheongju.
I have to meet Seo Min-jun… I have to stop going to that place where we meet every time.
Let’s look for a good spot. A place where Seo Min-jun can’t make up his mind and do tricks.
A place where the sky is open, so you can escape at any time with Blink.
And a place where it is difficult for others to ambush. A place where skills cannot be used by surprise.
For that to happen, there must be no underground. Even if you use it deep underground, everything up there is a prohibited area.
When I thought about it, I could only think of one good place.
Cheongju Airport. It’s not that far and there are no people.
It’s an open place, so you don’t have to worry about being ambushed, and there’s no basement or anything like that.
I like it. I have to go there.
First, let’s go to Cheongju Airport. The place where two groups were fighting each other last time.
Come to think of it, Suwon is an airfield and this is also an airport. Well, there are few places as open as the runway.
No sign of anyone. Just in case, I tried Phase Out once.
You can only check it with the naked eye, but it is not difficult to check because visibility is good. Good. That’s it then.
I immediately canceled the phase out and headed to the SG Center.
Is the helicopter flying? Oh. There is.
As soon as I use Phase Out, I see Seo Min-jun.
“Hey.”
“You came early.”
“Come to Cheongju Airport. Right now. Don’t delay.”
“Yes?”
I just said what I had to say, immediately canceled the phase out, and then started reflecting.
And Blink. Fly before falling in the air. And again Blink. Next time, invisibility and clairvoyance.
I flew to Cheongju Airport in parallel with Blink.
In the middle of the runway. Since there is no one there, I turn off my invisibility and stand in the middle of the runway.
A helicopter flies here a while later.
The helicopter that approached me slowly landed in the middle of the runway and Seo Min-jun got off.
The guy coming. When the wind blows and blows the guy’s hair, it feels like a pictorial.
Wow. A cub that looks like a parasitic brother. The world is so fucking unfair.
“No, why are you suddenly asking me to come here?”
“Hey. Don’t you have a flight?”
“Why is that?”
“Ask a question or answer.”
“Hmm. That’s a secret?”
What? Baby?
“If you have flight and blink, you can just fly. You can even take a helicopter.”
“It’s a secret. Why do you keep asking?”
“It’s really expensive for something that doesn’t matter. That’s right. Who cares if you have a flight or not? Anyway, what did you talk about?”
“Are you just talking like this without using Phase Out?”
“Why? Are you dissatisfied?”
“What if someone is watching with clairvoyance from afar?”
“Why? What kind of affair are you having? Isn’t it okay for someone to see it? And anyway, I can’t even hear what you’re talking about, so what does it matter?”
“Don’t you know it’s lip-reading? You can tell what they’re saying just by looking at their mouths?”
“Ha. You’re seriously ill too?”
Now that I think about it, there’s nothing wrong with what that guy said.
Since I also use clairvoyance, I know its effectiveness. Minjun Seo Everything he says is feasible.
But it’s also funny to cover your mouth and say that. Okay. It’s safest to phase out and talk.
It feels uncomfortable. If you get the slightest feeling that that guy is trying to induce something, you can’t help but feel uncomfortable.
What if you use phase out? Since you can’t use detection, you can’t tell when someone is approaching you.
Moreover, since you can’t hear anything, there’s no way to know even if something like a helicopter approaches.
Hmm… It looks suspicious. Why does that guy insist on phasing out?
Or could it be the other way around? Are you trying to create resistance by forcibly requesting a phase out?
Ignore his position and think about what is comfortable based on my standards.
In the end, it is advantageous not to use phase out. Because I have the final means of escape, teleportation.
A skill that allows you to leave this place at any time as long as there is no area where the skill cannot be used, whether there is a vibration wave or a sand barrier.
“Let’s just do it.”
“Do whatever you want.”
Seo Min-jun, who thought he would ask for more phase-outs, surprisingly just lets it go.
He’s a funny guy. Is there already a 2nd or 3rd plan?
“What happened to what I said?”
At my words, Seo Min-jun snaps his fingers toward his back.
A guy came out of the helicopter and handed him a document file. Seo Min-jun took it and said.
“We have confirmed the number of people needed to hit Lethe. We will hit it in three days. At midnight.”
“Huh? What took so long?”
“We also have to collect detailed information. We make a plan based on the information you gave us, but we don’t have detailed information, do we?”
“It’s taking too long.”
“That way, we can send away all the useless but greedy people. Please wait for that.”
“Are you confident?”
“The calculation showed that the winning rate was 85 percent.”
“What does the winning percentage mean? If you win, you win, and if you lose, you lose.”
“I wish the world were that simple.”
That bastard keeps secretly picking on me. “You’re still criticizing me for being simple, right?”
“Three days. Ugh. Slugs. Okay. Next?”
“Next?”
“That’s not all I said.”
“Oh. What was next? Was it America?”
“Uh.”
“It’s the United States. It’s possible. It just takes a little bit of time to get there.”
“How long does it take?”
“At least a month and a half.”
“Huh? It took that long?”
“They say there is no GPS, so the only way is to go to the shore. In fact, we are not experts in navigation, so… That is the solution we have come up with now.”
“A month and a half. Fuck it. It would be faster if I flew there myself.”
“Yes?”
“No, it’s okay. Don’t worry about going to America.”
The guy looking at me intently. What are you thinking?
“Are there any measures for Hidemori Sato?”
“Of course. The odds of winning take that into account. Well, he’s just a Yakuza bum anyway, so he’s not much of a threat.”
I became a little interested in what he said.
A guy who looks down on him as a Yakuza even though he has so many skills.
What? Why are you so confident? I don’t understand. They must not be such easy guys.
“Anyway. Just think, it’s midnight in three days. If there are no major variables, our cleanup of Lete and the Yakuza will proceed without difficulty. Are you capable of dealing with them?”
“Well, you’ll have to wait and see, right? Is there any information? That way I can organize it neatly, right?”
“Is it impossible without information?”
“Are you secretly scratching people?”
“Oh my. What did I do? I can barely scratch this much?”
Seo Min-jun smiles brightly. Ah. I really hate it. What kind of man would enjoy seeing a gisaeng brother sbastard.
“This file is a copy of a file that contains brief personal information and an operation outline of those who are going to attack Lethe this time. Well, it’s quite important information. But… Oops. I just lost that file.”
And then the guy puts the file down on the floor.
The guy who got back up looked at me and spoke again.
“Oh, I guess I’ll just have to go look for the important file I lost. This is so embarrassing. But, since it’s a copy, I guess it won’t really matter as long as the person who reads it burns it. Right?”
Then he turns and walks towards the helicopter.
Umm. He’s a bold guy. You turned your back on me and walked away.
The guy who got on the helicopter looked at me and winked again.
Ah. Those eyes are real. I can’t pull it out.
The wind blew harshly as the helicopter departed, but the pile stayed in place, sticking to the airfield floor.
The helicopter left like that. And then I walked over to the file and stretched out my hand.
There’s probably some strange device or tracker inside, right?
Or something like extreme poison or a serious disease. Anyway, something like that… Done. I have to work hard.
Still, something like a tracker can’t let down its guard, so I started reading the file on the spot.
Exciting content. And. Look at these bastards?
After briefly reading everything, I immediately put the file in storage. If this happens, the tracker will be meaningless.
Anyway, if that’s what you said, you can expect quite a lot. His 85 percent win rate might not be nonsense.
