How a Calamity Necromancer Retires - How a Calamity Necromancer Retires chapter 112

On the day Han Ji-hyeok announced, Carlos summoned all the guild members and organizers.

“It’s clearly imprinted on us that we’re not easygoing guys.”

At Carlos’ words, the executives nodded and said,

“you’re right.”

“No matter how strong it is, this place has its own rules, but if you want to start a business, follow your own rules.”

Everyone in this room knew it well.

That they could never be Han Ji-hyeok’s opponents.

However, it is not possible to succumb to just one skeleton.

“You can’t just follow the rules of an outsider. There is no reason for us to remain here if there is no illegal business like this in the first place.”

Guilds wield unbridled power and at the same time were able to conduct illegal business without any restraints, not just for the one-dimensional reason that they prevent monsters at the gate.

Obviously, there is an international market price for by-products of monsters caught at the gate, but Venezuela cannot buy or sell any items with other countries due to economic sanctions.

Since Venezuela has no manufacturing base and lacks even daily necessities, it is possible to earn money by exporting monster by-products abroad, but since the export route itself is blocked, there is no way for Awakeners to earn money by hunting monsters.

So the guilds started smuggling the by-products of the monsters they hunted overseas, and that was the starting point for the guilds to become gangs.

Since it was smuggling, even the same monsters had to be cheap, and the guilds had grown by filling the income void with illegal businesses.

So illegal business was the reason guilds still remained in Venezuela.

But suddenly, outsiders don’t even know the circumstances of this place, but trust only their own strength and enforce the rules.

“Let’s block at least one easily!”

Carlos inspires the will of the guild members like that.

The deputy guild leader, who was quiet at that time, spoke.

“I don’t think so… but really, what if we lose the bet, if we lose overwhelmingly?”

When the deputy guild leader mentioned the worst situation, Carlos was silent for a while before speaking.

“I don’t want to think about it, but I can’t help but think about it, since that Han Ji-hyeok confidently brought out the summoned beast. If we lose and impose excessive rules… we resist.”

Although economic sanctions have been eased, it is only a relief limited to oil.

Since export and import of many items were still blocked, illegal business was not an option but a necessity for guilds and awakeners to function normally.

“Then, what would Jihyeok Han do if he set the rules with some flexibility?”

“What do you want to say?”

“I thought maybe this might be an opportunity. Han Ji-hyeok said he would directly destroy the guild that rejected the rules, and then give the guild’s territory to the guild that accepted the rules. In other words…”

The deputy guild leader looked at Carlos and said.

“It means that with the help of Han Ji-hyeok, we can easily occupy other guild’s territory. It’s easy enough to clean up the guild once Han Ji-hyeok cleaned up.”

“Then it’s the best, but will the guild members accept it? To give in to an outsider.”

“Maybe that’s why Han Ji-hyeok suggested making a bet like this. Through this bet, not only us but all guild members will be able to directly feel their strength.”

“Mmm.”

After thinking for a while, Carlos said.

“For now, we’ll decide after the bet. We don’t know what the outcome will be yet.”

“All right.”

As the meeting progressed, the voices of the guild members came from outside.

“Guild leader! They say the skeletons have departed!”

Carlos stood up and said.

“Are all the supporters here?”

Carlos and rival guilds form a two-tier system, but besides the two, several minor guilds are building their own territory.

Carlos was in a situation where he had requested support from guilds he had a good relationship with.

“Everyone is here.”

“good.”

Carlos said as he picked up his weapon, the hammer.

“Let’s try it.”

*

“aaa!”

The guild’s Awakeners rush at it in a heap, but the Skeleton strides somewhere without even a word of movement.

“You’re strong too.”

Even though they are just walking without any attack, more than a thousand Awakeners, including Jiwon, are pushed out one after another.

“I was thinking of sending the regular guild members first to relieve their energy… but it doesn’t seem to make sense.”

When Carlos steps forward holding the hammer, the high-ranking Awakened executives follow.

“Move!”

Then, the guild members split on both sides.

“Let’s see if he can withstand my attack!”

When Carlos jumped up as much as he could and used his gravity enhancement ability, the hammer was loaded with the power of a one-hit kill.

That moment when Carlos, an S-class Awakener, poured all his strength into the hammer and hit the skeleton.

For the first time, the skeleton raises its arms and assumes a defensive posture.

When Carlos’s hammer and the skeleton’s arms crossed, a huge vibration and a piercing sound spread all over the place.

“Oh oh!”

“As expected, the guild leader!”

When the skeleton reacted for the first time, the guild members gained hope, but Carlos’ expression hardened as he struck down the hammer.

“…doesn’t it even budge?”

Carlos’ hammer blow, which poured everything in one shot, boasted a level of power that even the SS class could not ignore.

However, the skeleton blocked the hammer blow too lightly.

Even after blocking the hammer like that, Carlos continued to stride past him, ignoring him, and Carlos felt his pride hurt.

“Suck!”

Then Carlos used his ability once again to attack the skeleton from behind.

Then, this time, the skeleton turned one of its arms to block it once again.

After that, they continued to attack from all sides with the officers, but the skeletons just blocked them and moved forward.

Carlos, who had been attacking for a long time, was able to understand the meaning of Han Ji-hyeok’s words to stop him by any means and methods.

“…that’s not our opponent.”

That this skeleton alone was an absolute strength that could overwhelm the entire guild, including himself.

Carlos exclaimed loudly.

“Summon all members of the organization! Bring out all the heavy weapons!”

I tried to deal only with the Awakener, but that was a complacent idea.

Because it was literally not a situation to cover the means and methods.

Even if heavy weapons were used anyway, there would be no one other than Han Ji-hyeok to protest against the guild, so Carlos ordered them to bring weapons without hesitation.

“Block it somehow! Even if it’s just one step!”

*

Carlos’s guild mobilized all means and methods to stop the skeletons.

Carlos’s guild collected the members’ cars and piled them up at the corner of the road where the skeletons walked, threw a steel net to catch them, and set explosives on the street corner to blow up the entire surrounding buildings.

However, the results were very futile.

thud.

It was scorched here and there, but the skeleton took a step into the building where Carlos’s office was located.

And behind such a skeleton, there are devastated streets and exhausted guild members who are out of breath.

“hehehehe.”

After becoming an S-Class Awakener, Carlos, who has poured his best effort into it, is also exhausted and out of breath.

Carlos was physically and mentally more exhausted than ever before, even though it was not an exchange of battles.

“It’s too strong.”

If that skeleton had made up his mind and launched an attack, all of the guild members, including himself, would have been annihilated long ago.

And Carlos got goosebumps at the thought that such absolute strength might be only a small part of Han Ji-hyeok.

“Guild leader.”

At that time, the deputy guild leader next to him said, wiping his sweaty head with his trembling arm.

“What are you going to do? Is there any point in resisting? I . . . I don’t know.”

At those words, Carlos turned his head and looked at the devastated streets and guild members.

“I’m sure the guild members feel the same way I feel right now, right?”

“If you add more, you will have more, and no one will be less.”

If you attack your guild with a skeleton like that, the guild has no chance of winning.

Of course, they can hide in the shadows and act like guerrillas, but at that time, it is obvious that the guild will disintegrate when the rival guild accepts Han Ji-hyeok’s proposal and takes over their territory and goes hunting.

But then, an Asian man who had been interpreting with Han Ji-hyeok in an alley appears and approaches Carlos.

“It looks like the results have come out, but he wants to go in together.”

Carlos followed without a word.

Once inside the building, the man began interpreting Han Ji-hyeok’s words.

“Rule number one, no drugs. Second, violent crimes such as murder, robbery, rape, and kidnapping are prohibited. The third is…”

A man who lists the rules like that.

“And finally no disputes between guilds that abide by the rules. That’s it.”

After hearing all the rules, Carlos was able to realize that the rules were surprisingly flexible.

“Is that all? Smuggling and the black market for dollars…”

“Other than that, everything is free.”

In a word, it means that all other than serious crimes will be tolerated.

“Chairman Han said that if we follow these rules, we will not only guarantee our autonomy, but also protect us from external threats. In particular, if a guild that does not follow the rules attacks, the president will directly destroy that guild and hand over the territory.”

A situation that guarantees the most important smuggling trade and the black market for dollars.

Carlos recalled what the deputy guild leader said, that it might be an opportunity.

“And there is a good word for cooperation, but he says there is no need to think of it as surrender.”

Carlos and his guild members felt the power of Han Ji-hyeok so much that even if he openly threatened them to become his subordinates, the placenta would pass over them.

Ji-Hyeok Han and Carlos climbed the stairs and entered the office.

Inside the office, a skeleton that had passed through 10,000 gang members and arrived at the office was standing there in silence.

And Han Ji-hyeok, standing next to the skeleton, said.

“Now you decide whether to be an ally or an enemy of this skeleton. And this opportunity is said to be the first and last.”

At those words, Carlos finally lowered his head and said.

“We will cooperate…”

*

I made Carlos as well as Carlos’s rival guild follow my rules.

In fact, if you only think about business, it is enough to organize this far, but I reached out to other cities in earnest.

If I organize the guilds and make them on my side, I can give strength to the unstable pro-US government, and Venezuela’s domestic situation will be stable, and I will not be able to touch my business recklessly.

Anyway, the gang that started to spread all over Venezuela… no, the guild organization.

Then, unlike Carlos, who was satisfied with the smuggling trade, one after another, guilds resisted for various reasons, such as having drug distribution as a core business or failing to give up reigning like a king.

And when such guilds appeared, my response was always the same.

A method of first destroying the guild that rebels, then lending the skeleton for combat to the guild that cooperates, and handing over the area to clean it up on its own.

Like that, the cooperative guilds captured the members of the guilds who were smashed and scattered by me, and made the area their own.

Of course, the guilds hiding in the shadows also gathered their strength again and sought a counterattack, but the moment they gathered their strength again, I intervened again and destroyed them repeatedly, so all they could do was hide in the shadows and resist. If the cooperative guilds are also shady, they are savvy, so they continue to be hunted one-sidedly.

The cooperative guilds that lose their central axis and gradually lose their strength, eventually absorbing their domains and awakeners, growing in size and power in an instant.

I said with a relaxed expression.

“You’re not attacking me just because you’ve grown in size, right? Well, it doesn’t matter if you attack.”

Cooperating guilds all monitor each other.

If one of the cooperating guilds breaks the rules and is taken as a punishment, it is a chance to take away their power and territory.

If they don’t listen like that, they use other forces to beat them off, and if those forces don’t listen, they bring in another force.

Isn’t this what it is?

Anyway, if I keep pushing like this, one day there will be only guilds that follow my rules all over Venezuela.

It will be a bit noisy until then, but instead, all the guilds that committed serious crimes will be sorted out, so it’s a win-win, right?

Of course, that doesn’t mean that all crime in Venezuela will disappear immediately and security will not stabilize.

Serious crimes like drugs don’t disappear, they just hide more negatively.

Still, compared to the time when guilds were openly committing serious crimes, it wouldn’t be much easier for the Venezuelan government to manage them if they were smashed into pieces and miniaturized thanks to me.

That’s when I was thinking about guilds.

“President! First batch coming soon!”

At the words of a Korean worker at an oil refinery, I said with a face full of anticipation.

“It’s finally out.”

While organizing the guilds, the completed oil refinery was finally operating for the first time.

“let’s go.”

The place where the staff arrived with the staff was the last pipe through which light oil, made by removing sulfur from extra-heavy oil, poured out.

A Korean employee said while holding the round valve connected to the pipe.

“I will open it!”

The moment the Korean staff turned the valve.

Light oil pours from the last pipe into a storage tank.

“Wow!”

At a glance, it is a pipe that pours out good quality light oil.

I said with a smirk.

“To make $100 worth of crude oil for only $25.”

Because Venezuela is such a poor country, energy purchases are also cheap, thanks to which the cost of refining has been reduced to $10.

If you add to this the purchase of extra-heavy crude from Venezuela for $15, you can produce $100 crude oil for just $25.

“How many tablets per day?”

“At the scale of our current facility, we can refining 100,000 barrels a day.”

Now, Korea is also waiting for Venezuela’s ultra-heavy oil to arrive by ship after the completion of the Seron refinery of a similar scale.

So, the two would produce 200,000 barrels a day.

Crude oil costs $100 per barrel.

Excluding labor costs and other incidental expenses, Seron Oil Refinery earns a whopping 20 billion won a day.

Of course, I am not satisfied with this.

“I should build more. That Saudi pumps out 12 million barrels a day? Venezuela has more reserves than Saudi Arabia, so it should produce at least 10 million barrels.”

So, arithmetically, you can earn 1 trillion won a day.

Of course, this is a figure that came out because of the era of high oil prices, and when Venezuela’s crude oil is released in earnest, the price will drop and the profit I get will decrease dramatically.

If crude oil drops to $50, the $75 per barrel will be cut to a third of $25 minus the cost.

but i have to do it anyway

Because the person who holds the energy from ancient times has the hegemony.

And using this hegemony to advance into more countries.

Besides, it won’t monopolize extra-heavy oil until the price drops that much.

Because other refiners can’t make a profit with extra-heavy oil even if only $70 collapses.

In this way, it monopolizes all of the world’s extra-heavy oil, making Seron Oil Refinery the world’s largest oil refinery.

“By that time, I might go beyond the one-man corps and hear the sound of a one-man oil-producing country, right?”

anyway.

I said with a grin.

“It was difficult for many people due to high oil prices, right? Take it, Ceronic acid oil goes.”
