Chapter 79 – Let’s Go to the Bread Table of Life…!
“…Mistress, can we really not call people?”
“…”
“I know it’s really presumptuous for me to say this, and you must be wiser since you’ve learned so much more than me, but I think this response to an S-class gate is too weak. I don’t know what kind of monsters will pour out the moment a wave occurs… The thought of the lady alone blocking it… Of course, I am well aware of the lady’s powerlessness, but if the defense gate attack fails, at least hundreds or even hundreds of millions of monsters will flock to it. Could you come?”
Kang Tae-min was desperate.
Trusting people is trusting, and preventing gate failures is another matter entirely.
But now, this lady named Melanie was trying to protect her company in the name of ‘trust’.
‘I understand, but…’
Even if Baek Tae-yang’s military strength exceeded that of a cadet, the S-class gate was a different story.
No matter how many times I say it, it’s not enough, but I had to ask for support from the Hunter team right now.
‘Even if it wasn’t just a global conglomerate…’
Among them, if it weren’t for the Kaiban group, who were holding weapons against the hunters, I would have screamed loudly.
In fact, even if it was a Kaiban group, if Kang Tae-min had the previous fame, he could have said this and that.
‘Oh shit really…’
As the only witnesses to have opened the gate were Melanie and Baek Tae-yang, he was powerless to speak yet.
What if the people of the world knew again that the S-level gate was opened because of reporters?
At that time, it was the true revival of Kang Tae-min.
But now, only Melanie was around.
Control personnel who could not release people to approach the gate would not have seen the opening scene.
Therefore, Kang Tae-min had no choice but to cry and babble cautiously with the feeling of eating mustard.
“My lady, make a real decision…”
“I know. I know what Kang Tae-min is thinking, and I know everything about the situation. Of course, you might think that I am very young. You can do it, but I have a plan for this one too.”
“Yes?”
Do-do-do-do-do-do.
Do-do-do-do-do-do.
The area around the gate is a rugged mountain terrain.
That’s why there is only one way to ship things the easiest.
Just use the air.
“As far as I know, I said that an open skill gate cannot be opened again, right?”
“Yes… That’s right…”
“But I heard that it’s a story in case a creature passes through… Is that right?”
“…That’s right. Do you know in detail? Usually, if the clearing period of a defense or offense type gate is prolonged like that, support is added…”
“Then please open it one more time.”
“Yes?”
The forest shakes violently, unable to overcome the wind from the helicopter’s propeller.
The chopper was coming this way with a large case attached to a string.
‘What is that?’
Kang Tae-min had never seen such a large weapon case in his lifetime.
A case that holds a single hunter’s weapon is the size of a queen-size bed.
“It’s still a prototype because it’s been a while since I received Baek Taeyang’s weapon suitability test file… But that should be enough.”
“What the hell are you talking about? Isn’t it a completely different story to prepare for the gate wave by requesting support and providing goods inside the gate? I don’t think there’s anything wrong with preparing, lady…”
At first, he shouted loudly, but due to the overwhelming difference in economic power, Kang Tae-min’s voice gradually became smaller.
Still, there was a strange thrill at the thought that he had said something.
I should say that it feels like I gave a true education to a girl from a rich family.
The atmosphere didn’t become that strange because the phrase was correct.
“That’s right, I know. It’s like worrying about the gate wave… It’s understandable to want to announce a splendid comeback as an opener in a situation where reporters are all over the place.”
“…”
At Melanie’s words, Kang Tae-min kept his mouth shut.
Melanie smiled refreshingly in a situation where all the flashy speech was gone and only the honey-drinking mute remained.
“But my judgment is a little different. First of all, the gate was closed as soon as Kim Min-soo entered. In other words, it is a gate that only a small number of people have to attack. Even if it is not a concept type. If so, certain conditions must be met or the boss monster is very strong. It’s… Then my guess is that it’s a concept type. Rather, because of that, you can’t blindly ask for support even though you don’t know what kind of monster will appear.”
This was honestly close to Melanie’s sophistry.
Both internal support and external precautions can be provided.
Even if Melanie was right, it was a matter of keeping a distance from the gate and keeping an eye on the situation.
However.
Melanie firmly believed Baek Taeyang’s words, full of self-confidence, that she should dress beautifully and wait.
I had no doubt that the man would clear the gate and make the road ahead of the Kaiban group a flowery road.
‘…I believe you, Baek Tae-yang.’
Kaiban, a world-class conglomerate, is still not well-known in Korea, home to the world’s best academy.
This is because no matter how many weapons you make, the words ‘That’s why it’s better than Victory’ are attached like tags.
So, Melanie decided to take a bold gamble.
A single moment when Kim Min-soo will leap to the top by completely cleaning up the poop he has stored up.
That was right now.
‘Anyway, support has to come. It’s just a matter of time.’
No matter how deep the gate was in the mountains, it was only a matter of time before it was detected because it was the wavelength of an S-class gate.
It meant that even if Melanie didn’t actively ask for support, the hunter team would come on its own.
It was just that Kang Tae-min was talking about whether the timing should be pushed forward a little faster.
‘A cadet had an S-class gate in front of him and called for the opener, but he didn’t ask for support… If you explain the situation according to the situation, everything can be controlled.’
A forced and life-and-death gamble.
“Please open the gate now, insert the weapon case.”
“But this… Opening it doesn’t mean arriving right in front of it. As you are well aware… If there is no separate gate safety zone, you may not be able to receive it because it will fall to a random location…”
“Don’t worry about that part. That much is expected.”
“Yep…”
Chic Chijiji Jiji.
The gate, which had already been opened once, pushed Kang Tae-min’s hand roughly as if there was no permission twice.
“Ooooo!”
Kang Tae-min desperately put strength into his hands and feet, as well as his hips and waist.
‘I just need to jump out!’
In the face of great power, individuals are weaker than fallen leaves scattered on the roadside.
Kang Tae-min thought of and erased numerous variables while opening the gate.
‘If there is a sign of a gate wave, you just have to bounce quickly. As long as you’re not there… But if you succeed in clearing the gate…’
Even if no support came, he believed that Melanie would actively support him.
Even if she doesn’t push her, she already has a huge network of Baek Taeyang.
‘Baek Taeyang has a very close relationship with Chairman Choi Young-nam… No, Choi Young-nam feels like the president of Baek Tae-yang’s fan club… Legs could have been connected… Lee Min-joon, the team leader, also feels like an MC in the Hunter world… The connections are amazing… This is a rice cake… An opportunity for a rice cake.’
Even at the moment when his hands were peeling off and bleeding from the repulsive force of the S-class gate, Kang Tae-min calculated his loss.
‘This is an opportunity money can’t buy. Besides, Taeyang Baek has good public opinion, so if you help him, the washing machine will naturally run… When the washing machine runs, he explosively attracts public sentiment through bold donations to orphanages and support for welfare facilities for the elderly… And in their 20s and 30s, Taeyang Baek signed Wearing a white T-shirt, take a two-shot and post it on social media…’
He turned the happiness circuit to full, knowing that he couldn’t break Melanie’s stubbornness.
As long as Baek Taeyang clears the gate and comes out as Melanie intended, there will be no problem.
In addition, what if it is Baek Taeyang, who is supported by Kaiban’s weapon, which is said to be at the top of the weapon manufacturing industry?
“It’s openaaaaa!!!
With an ear-piercing scream, the inside of the gate appeared.
A white space with nothing.
What is this? Before she even thought about it, Melanie hastily tossed the weapon case transported to her chopper.
“Okay! I put it in!”
“Oohhhhh!”
As soon as he realized that he had inserted his weapon, Kang Tae-min, who could no longer overcome the repulsive force, bounced off.
Bang!
Melanie grabbed Kang Tae-min right before he hit the rock, and he smiled faintly in the pain of tearing his flesh.
‘My life… I fly again…’
I slowly closed my eyes, thinking of turning off the sports car to my heart’s content, which only requires high-quality fuel.
I had done enough, so it was time to take a break.
