Episode 190 – The Changed Direction, and the Request for Rescue
hotel.
However, Hwanwoong thought it was his duty to take care of his teammates who had worked hard, so he quickly made a reservation for them to have a meal at a hotel.
It seems that the power of the association president is strong, so we were able to rent a room in a famous place.
Just because it was a hotel buffet, it wasn’t anything particularly special.
I guess each hotel has its own signature dish?
The team members brought a lot of crab legs and claws and ate them in great quantities.
Hwanung was lost in thought while cutting a piece of lamb rib.
“Boss, do you still think about the people in the church?”
“Oh, yes. A little… … .”
“But what can I do? They probably knew and went in. It’s a shame, but… … .”
“I was worried that things would get even worse in the future.”
The mood has become somewhat subdued, but one reason we gathered today is to change the direction of the video going forward.
Many people sympathized with the condolences posted on communities, cafes, etc.
Someone once asked why I joined the church on my own two feet and then asked for condolences.
Yeah, you could think of it that way.
In an age filled with coldness and indifference, it is impossible not to sympathize with someone who took his own life.
However, we must recognize that the fact that a person died on the tower is a very serious matter.
The scenes I saw in my dream suddenly came to mind.
‘If only that dream had truly become reality somewhere.’
There was no way this place wouldn’t meet that end soon.
That is why Hwanung wanted to change direction.
Like the steel hero in the movies, I didn’t know that now was the time to really prepare.
So I opened my mouth.
“I think we need to change the direction of the video a little bit from now on.”
“What is the direction of the image?”
“Yes. Up until now, the videos have been focused on interest. Videos with flashy and provocative editing will be uploaded.”
Representative Mihyang nodded.
That was the purpose of uploading the video, and it was the most effective way to promote the influencer 93.
The amount of money earned in this way was astronomical.
Although it was less than the profit made from selling Lux, it still brought in considerable profits.
As a result, the channel’s subscribers have surpassed 10 million, and advertising revenue has increased several times over the early days.
That’s because the power of the channel was so great.
Now, awareness has been built up sufficiently.
So, I thought I should start preparing in earnest.
“Now, please edit your videos for the purpose of conveying information rather than for profit.”
“I see. I guess this incident made you feel a lot.”
“Yes. I thought that soon, the tower might no longer be a playground.”
“… … .”
The team members nodded their heads with serious expressions.
okay.
Accidents happen occasionally at amusement parks, but they wouldn’t happen if you just took precautions.
But what if it turns into a killing machine?
From then on, can an amusement park really be called an amusement park?
Now, the tower began to appear as such a being to Hwanung.
A very dangerous bomb that slowly eats away at the world before exploding all at once.
“There have been no reports of regular climbers dying yet, so I personally wouldn’t stop you from climbing the tower, but if you have space to collect Lux, please collect them little by little in advance.”
“Can I ask why?”
Mihyang sensed the serious atmosphere and asked.
Hwanung spoke bluntly.
“With the tower gone, we might not be able to save Lux anymore.”
“… … .”
That was quite a shocking statement.
Because a world without Lux would be like the end of the world.
The atmosphere got heavy in the middle, but the meal ended up going well.
Because we had a lot of new direction and constructive discussions.
When I turned my head, I saw an advertisement for MM Company on the electronic board.
Thanks to Hwanung, I definitely grew a lot.
‘Didn’t you say it was going to be listed soon?’
He had a hard time convincing me to give him half of the shares.
So I decided to only take 15%.
Many investors flocked in, and MM Company’s status was growing by the day.
It’s almost Christmas.
Hwanung waited for his valet-parked car in the chilly wind.
At that moment, he received a phone call.
[Philip]
Why is this person… … ?
I’m sure you’re busy with school work right now. Do you have time to call?
Hwanung answered the phone first.
“Hello? Mr. Philip.”
“Mr. Hwanung, can I speak to you?”
“Yes, it is possible. What is it?”
What came from the Philippines was none other than a rescue request.
“I’m calling to see if you might be going on a business trip to Japan.”
“Japan? We’re going to start conquering towers overseas, but why?”
“A member of the sect was murdered in Japan, inside the tower at that.”
“Is it the same as last time? Or… … .”
The words that came out of Philip’s mouth were somewhat shocking.
Being killed inside the tower usually means you failed to clear the stage.
but-.
“It looks like it was done by a fellow climber. That’s what the person on your side said.”
“Is that true?”
At that moment, the incident with Yang Jo-chan occurred to him.
I felt a surge of discomfort, but I tried to suppress it.
The climber is a member of the clergy… …?
“Yes. You can ask the person in charge for more details, but we will support all the expenses related to the security and attacking the tower there.”
“I guess I should look into it.”
“Thank you. I will work on your schedule. Please contact me via KakaoTalk.”
“All right.”
After ending the call, Hwanung looked up an article on the Internet with a serious expression.
Here are a few articles I found by bypassing portal sites and even using a translator.
Doesn’t going missing mean that he didn’t return from inside the tower?
Then how did you get the news that he was murdered?
I was full of questions.
“You’ll know once you go.”
Because it’s Japan… … .
I’ve always wanted to go there, but I never thought I’d go so suddenly.
Anyway, the next destination was pretty much set.
“Sir, please get in.”
“Oh, okay.”
In the meantime, Himchan finished all preparations and called Hwanung.
As he got into the car, Hwanung immediately contacted Taejin.
Does he know what’s happening in Japan?
It would be nice if Oracle had some information about this… … .
‘I haven’t been able to contact Taekyung at all these days.’
I gave up on contacting them a long time ago.
A reply came straight from Taejin.
[I heard that too. We will be sending Mi-hyeon as a simultaneous interpreter and assistant. Let’s go together.]
[Is that okay?]
[Yes, there are other people who need to take care of things here anyway.]
[Then, please.]
Fortunately, a trustworthy person joined us as a simultaneous interpreter.
Because it’s Japan… … .
What awaits us there?
Mom, should I tell Dad too?
After climbing Mt. Baekdu, I had many places to contact.
That must mean that there has been a change in his network.
Hwanung moved his hands busily, determined to think as positively as possible.
At the same time, Japan.
They formed a mountaineering club in the form of a [family], and various families came together to form a [union].
It’s almost like a warring states period made up of climbers.
And above them was the head of the most influential family.
“Commander-in-Chief, the reply has arrived.”
“What did you say?”
“They say a ‘summoner’ is coming to Korea.”
“That’s good. Have you prepared the materials to give to him?”
The person reporting to the so-called commander nodded.
Kuung-.
He showed me a very thick stack of documents.
It was a collection of all the information related to this incident.
“I’ve prepared this much material, but I don’t think you’ll be able to read it all in a short period of time.”
“I guess so. I believe you have prepared other things as well.”
“So, I have some well-organized documents.”
One file labeled [TOP SECRET].
Here is the full list of key figures in this case.
The commander nodded with satisfaction.
“Make thorough preparations to welcome guests.”
“Yes. However, some families may harbor hostility… … .”
“Hmm, isn’t that a problem you have to figure out yourself?”
“All right.”
The reporter stepped aside, and the commander-in-chief enjoyed a moment of silence.
After a moment of silence, when he thought there would be no one around, he picked up the phone.
“Commander-in-Chief, preparations are complete.”
I wonder where he is talking to. He was very cautious and humble.
Otherwise, you’ll get a warning from the other side.
“Of course. I will prepare thoroughly, and I will not forget the stage where I will be [testing].”
What are you testing?
There were still many things we didn’t know.
He put the receiver down quietly and sighed.
“It’s nice to finally meet you. When I contacted you through the scouter, you were completely absentminded… … .”
He shook his head repeatedly, and in front of him, a scene of Hwanung in action was continuously playing.
A climber who handles countless summons.
He will be able to resolve this situation.
The noise that occurs inside would be very minor.
“I’ll be back.”
“Take care of yourself. And don’t let anyone know.”
“Is that something I can do? I’ll be careful anyway.”
“Okay. Have a nice trip, son.”
airplane.
Since I was leaving the country secretly, I only told my family and team members.
Mihyeon was standing next to Hwanung, smiling.
“Don’t worry, Mother. I will take good care of you.”
“Oh, thank you. Please take good care of my son.”
“You are such a great person, I’m sure you’ll do well.”
“Let’s go slowly.”
After Mihyeon comforted Hwanung’s mother, she moved the luggage.
I wondered what business class was for a trip that only took about an hour, but isn’t it better?
It was a shame that we couldn’t properly plan for it because it happened so suddenly.
“It’s this way.”
“Thank you. But… … Was there any particular friction between the association and the church?”
“Because the church decided to take on all the responsibility that the association should have had. We decided not to touch that part.”
“I don’t know if this is the right thing to do… … .”
Mihyeon smiled bitterly.
Because she felt it too.
Hwanung’s changed mood, the way he treated the tower, and the events that occurred at the tower…
Certainly, recent events have been too disturbing to just ignore.
“When you go to Japan, the General Commander will welcome Hwanung.”
“The Commander-in-Chief?”
“Yes. He is someone with the same status as the president of the association.”
“Hmm… … . It’s kind of like a cartoon… … .”
Mihyeon smiled slightly and nodded.
“I heard that it reflects a lot of Japanese subculture. You’re young.”
“Aha, so that’s what it is.”
“Anyway, I hope it works out.”
Hwanung simply nodded without answering.
Soon after, the plane took off.
Feeling the unique sensation of escaping gravity, Hwanung looked across the sea towards Japan.
Because I was excited and anxious about what would happen.
