Episode 131 – Let’s meet again
#One
There was work to be done this morning, so Hwanwoong called all of his employees.
Everyone met at a cafe in Gangnam.
They were desperately waiting for some news, and it seemed like they couldn’t hide their pounding hearts.
When steam stopped rising from the hot coffee and water droplets formed on the cold cup, I finally got a response.
Hwanwoong’s smartphone rings, and the auction bid has finally been deposited.
Except for the 2% auction fee and 3.3% withholding tax, the remaining amount was deposited in full.
[Deposit: KRW 4,334,943,000]
[balance… … .]
“Wow!”
“Shh! quiet!”
“Wow, wow… … . “Is this really our company’s money?”
“yes. It will be used as initial capital. “We will only purchase an office and furniture, and use this money to pay for everyone’s meals and welfare expenses.”
4.3 billion.
Even if I won the lottery, money that would be difficult to receive came in at once.
Tax exemption is a really scary thing when it comes to things like this.
Normally, 2 billion out of 4.3 billion would have been paid in taxes, but thanks to the tax exemption, it was entirely his share.
The staff loved it so much.
Is there any other company with this much initial capital?
I could also understand why people compare the avatar drawing to a lottery.
“Boss, I will be truly loyal!”
“Are you going to work from home like you do now? Or should I get an office?”
“If you want to have a formal corporation, it would be better to have an office.”
yes.
As climbers are increasingly trying to establish corporations, the standards for establishing corporations have become more stringent.
If certain requirements are not met, formal permission will not be issued.
Hwanwoong decided to leave this matter to Mihyang.
“From now on, the CEO will only chew on Mihyang.”
“uh… … . “That’s Boss Baji, right?”
“Yes.”
“Then what about the boss?”
Hwanwoong answered with a small smile.
Since he is the actual money holder, it would be appropriate for him to move.
“All I need is a director position. From now on, I will call you CEO Mihyang at official occasions as well.”
“Oh oh… … .”
“I will work really hard! And I think we need to hire more editors. I’m editing like crazy right now… … .”
Hwanwoong nodded.
She’s had a hard time editing all the videos so far.
The time has come to expand manpower.
I decided to leave this to Mihyang as well.
‘I have to leave it to me now too. Think of it as training.’
It was still difficult to fully trust people.
I always lived with the slightest doubt.
Just don’t show it on the outside.
Still, shouldn’t it change now?
Thinking of it as training made me feel at ease.
Although their relationship was short, they were pure and honest.
Since they were stuck instead of spinning around, Hwanung decided to entrust them with a bigger task.
He spoke with sincerity.
“Please take care of me in the future.”
“Us too!”
Whether this is a fate that will last until the end or something goes wrong in the middle is up to each person.
At least Hwanwoong had a greater desire to go to the end.
#2
Taekyung secretly entered Korea.
Not long ago, I heard something I couldn’t ignore.
Philip.
A person whose name is proudly ranked in the world rankings.
A powerhouse whose potential is said to be at the level of a top professional athlete.
This is because he told a story that cannot be ignored.
‘It’s Tae.’
His younger brother, Park Tae-i, died in vain.
She was his only family member who died as suddenly as a lightning strike in the dry sky.
That was when I realized that this was the last time I saw her going out with a bright face and saying she wanted to make money.
I don’t know how much I cried while hugging the portrait photo.
When I think of that time, Taekyung’s nose still gets sore.
But, Philip knows why his sister died?
I remembered the scene at the funeral when there were not many mourners.
A funeral filled with only the faint smell of incense.
‘But then, why do you know?’
It was something he couldn’t ignore, so he headed to the agreed upon location.
He took care to dress well so that people would not recognize him, and succeeded in entering the tower.
An unknown tower.
I saw some people in the lobby there.
“uh?”
“That person… … .”
“Oh, no way.”
Tsk, even if I had to choose, I would choose a place like this.
Taekyung walked quickly and avoided their gaze.
At that moment, a system notification was heard.
[‘Philip’ has applied for a crew member.]
[Do you want to accept?]
“okay.”
[I became a crew member with ‘Philip’.]
The game started without saying a word.
The stage wasn’t particularly important.
The only important thing is to create an independent space.
“welcome. Long time no see.”
“Philip.”
“Thank you so much for holding the event as I said. “I was worried what would happen if it didn’t work out.”
“If you’re going to deceive me, you better be prepared.”
Taekyung’s eyes were very harsh.
Although he is now retired, he was once called the strongest human being.
His power that cannot be ignored was fully revealed.
Philip shrugged his shoulders and took a step back.
“Have you ever heard of an invasion by an outside force?”
“No, I’ve never heard of that… … .”
Taekyung’s words suddenly stopped.
No, I had never heard of it before, but it was different these days.
clearly… … .
“What does that have to do with Tae?”
“She may not have said it, but she was actually a member of the cult too.”
“… … what!?”
platform.
It was an organization currently under investigation.
His hands began to shake slightly.
His eyes lost focus, and his breathing began to become heavy.
Philip continued speaking, increasing his distance from Taekyung.
First I needed to calm him down a bit.
If he goes crazy, we can’t have a serious conversation.
“It was such a shame. I wanted to pay my respects, but it was impossible. Fortunately, I thought she was her first and her last victim… … .”
“Tell me in detail.”
“Please listen carefully to what I say from now on.”
Were River.
Those who stole the goddess’s pieces.
A cult that deceives the false goddess and works hard to maintain the tower.
Their grace has made modern humanity prosper.
Using the goddess’s side, she implants external power into the weak.
That was the grace the church spoke of.
Some people became rankers thanks to that grace, while others escaped the harsh reality.
Because that’s what grace is.
“then… … .”
“yes. Her grace upon her was a five-pointed star. but… … That level of power was felt by external forces.”
“External forces… … .”
“That is also why I am trying to contact the 93rd See. “He too must be under attack by external forces.”
Taekyung was worried.
What results will the contact between Hwanwoong and Philip bring about?
Your future will change significantly depending on your decisions.
She still occasionally appeared in Tae-kyung’s dreams with a smiling face.
It would be too greedy to want to see her smiling face again after it has gone in vain.
Taekyung runs an organization called Oracle.
A group comprised of only those who consider themselves to be the top predators and rulers of humanity.
‘But, I know nothing more about the tower than these people, so how can I call them rulers?’
What is the most important power of domination?
There are many reasons to choose from, but the power of information cannot be ignored.
Taekyung realized.
He said that the group he created was simply a group drunk on his own power.
“We need to discuss more diverse directions. “What do you think the tower is?”
“that… … .”
“I think the tower is a being that brings abundance and a medium that connects us with the outside world. The tower is reality but not reality, our world but not our world.”
“… … .”
That was correct.
Taekyung couldn’t say anything.
The hidden truth, something huge beyond the tower, was something that was still difficult for humans to judge and say.
Philip scratched his head.
“Shouldn’t we also find out in detail why Yang Jo-chan died? That too… … He was a member of the Order.”
“Then, is it the same for the person who died this time?”
“yes. The average climber doesn’t die. However, those who receive grace die.”
Dying didn’t happen under normal circumstances.
condition.
I needed to know the conditions.
Since more precise conditions were needed, I attempted to contact him.
“If it gets in the way, you have to clean it up. I don’t want to lose as much as possible, but… … .”
“Now I understand. “Now I understand.”
“The truth has been told. “I should have told you sooner, I’m sorry.”
“No, it’s not like my already dead brother is coming back alive… … . But, I guess we have to punish the cause.”
Taekyung’s eyes seemed somewhat empty.
Philip was worried that they might attack him like this, but fortunately, that didn’t happen.
Is it an illusion that those empty eyes look very anxious about what will happen?
“The event will be held as scheduled. “I will try to recruit the 93rd party.”
“oh… … . Thank you.”
“however… … “You’ll have to take care of everything after that.”
“Of course.”
Taekyung left those words and disappeared out of the tower.
Philip smiled darkly.
In fact, Tae-i’s death had a slightly different side, but it was still not a lie.
Her words came to mind.
He was a truly pure and dedicated climber.
I remembered how much I cared for my brother and how I would brag about him whenever I had the chance.
“after… … “The board has been roughly made.”
Now all you have to do is decide whether you will be enemies with the 93rd place or whether you will use each other.
You want me to take care of everything after that?
Rather, that was something we should have said.
Will the high-ranking members of the church watch over the death of members of the church?
“Well, I don’t know that.”
Philip left the tower with those words.
#3
Taekyung came out of the tower and sighed deeply.
The reason he was able to become a legend was entirely because of Tae-i’s influence.
Thanks to the insurance money she had saved up, she was able to breathe easy and begin her journey toward becoming a professional in earnest.
‘I don’t know if that’s true or not. But, there seems to be a connection.’
Taekyung picked up his smartphone after thinking for a long time.
Then I called Hwanwoong.
“hello? Mr. Hwanwoong.”
“what? Taekyung, it’s been a while. “How have you been?”
“what… … That’s right. I have something very important to say now. “I need some time right now, is that okay?”
“yes. “I have a little time before climbing the tower.”
It’s not a story to talk about over the phone, but I should still say it briefly.
Because he might know too.
“You know the cult called Weliber, right? “I just got in touch with them.”
“yes? really?”
“yes. You may have heard some talk about PvP events recently. “I’m sure the email went there too.”
“that’s right. if… … .”
Hwanung’s guess was very accurate.
Dry words flowed from Taekyung’s mouth.
“Let’s meet sometime. “I have a story to tell about that.”
Which is the truth?
What direction should we move forward?
In order to accurately pinpoint the indicator, we would have to listen to both sides.
Taekyung’s eyes quieted down.
