Chapter 152: Star, Cadmus (2)

After getting their luggage, Shin Eun-Seo pulled out her sunglasses and put them on. Woo Hye-Bin tilted her head in confusion. “Why did you suddenly put on your sunglasses, unnie?”

Eun-Seo then looked into her pocket mirror and busily tidied up her hair, which had become a mess due to the long flight.

“I have to put this on to survive,” Eun-Seo replied.

“...?” Hye-Bin wasn’t sure what Eun-Seo meant.

“You better tidy up yours too if you want to look good in photos,” Eun-Seo recommended.

Hye-Bin really couldn’t understand what Eun-Seo was talking about, so she just kept watching her with a confused look.

Charles de Gaulle Airport was located in Paris, France’s capital city. Its arrival hall was packed with countless media staff—cameramen were prepping their cameras, and the reporters and anchors were going through the list of questions they had to ask. Some were from the French public broadcasting station, but there were also some from trashy tabloid magazine agencies. There were even a couple of YouTubers taking videos with their smartphones.

“Isn’t it about time?”

“Yeah, their plane already arrived according to the flight status board, so they’re probably retrieving their luggage right now.”

“I wonder what kind of bullcrap he’ll say to flip other people’s lids.”





Some fans held up incomprehensibly cheesy banners, but people ignored them on purpose because the Tyrant fans were internationally notorious. They knew that if they ended up on the wrong side of the Tyrant fans, they wouldn’t be able to stay in this arrival hall, let alone interview Chang-Sun.

All these people didn’t gather up today just because of the newspaper article that had been published this morning. Although it was about the French and Korean governments joining forces to clear the ‘Wuthering Stone Desert’, the article wasn’t really surprising since a lot of Dungeons had appeared in the current generation, so many governments often did that nowadays to clear some of them.

They gathered here for another reason—the ‘Tyrant’ super rookie was going to visit Europe. The French were fanatical about the Tyrant just like everyone else. He used to be a world-class professional gamer until he fell due to his decreased ability. However, he had become a rising sun in another industry, so everyone couldn’t help admiring him.

Despite everything that had already happened, the French still wanted to determine for themselves if the Tyrant was actually as skilled as the rumor said. Now that they had the chance to see his ability with their own eyes, they were bound to be intrigued.

However, they were also displeased because a small eastern country that didn’t even have a ‘King-Class’ Player dared come forward and ‘offer’ help. When the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs allowed the White Tiger Clan members and Tyrant to enter France, the ministry members received a flood of complaints. The Tyrant’s visit to France surely caused a lot of commotion in many ways.

“Huh? The door is o-opening!”

“They’re coming out!”

“Camera! Turn the camera on! Come on! Quick!”

When the door to the arrival hall opened wide, the reporters on standby murmured among themselves.N0v3lRealm was the platform where this chapter was initially revealed on N0v3l.B1n.

Flash! Flash! Flash!

Cameramen pointed their cameras toward the arrival hall and popped their flashes up. Soon, Chang-Sun and other White Tiger Clan members came out, pulling their suitcases. Chang-Sun’s noticeably slender figure and small face made it easy to recognize him, so the media staff could easily figure out which one was him even if he was wearing sunglasses.

Baek Gyeo-Ul and the other Team L members, who were following Chang-Sun, were wearing sunglasses as well since they were used to this, but Woo Hye-Bin, who had covered her face with sunglasses and hat just as Eun-Seo had advised, was flabbergasted. Chang-Sun knew that this business trip was about playing the media, so he approached the media staff instead of passing them by, making many more cameramen pop their flashes. Still, he remained expressionless since he was used to it.

Kiyaak!

However, Cadmus, who had been sleeping on top of Chang-Sun’s head, woke up surprised when more flashes popped. It moved to the back of his head.

“Mr. Lee Chang-Sun!”

“Can you tell me how you feel now that you have arrived in France?!”

“Can you give me a comment about how you prepared to clear this Dungeon—!”

“I’m from NNBC—!”

The reporters busily threw in their questions in hopes of getting to interview Chang-Sun. Since they were all aware of the fact that Chang-Sun was a fluent English speaker, they asked their questions in English, but they all had the typical soft French accent.

“I’ll only take one question from each of you. Yes, the gentleman with the glasses.” Chang-Sun gestured at the man.

“I’m Adrian Nadal from ! Can you tell me how you feel about your visit to France?” Adrian asked.

↳Why would you think he’s joking? He’s serious.

↳Seriously, the scariest part about the Tyrant is that he’s not joking or trying to provoke anyone. He genuinely means what he says. It’s crazy.

―BeforetheEndofCentury: Gosh, That had to have hurt the French people’s ego A LOT. He might have hooligans after him soon.

↳Forget about hooligans. He might get stabbed while walking down a street during the night.

↳I don’t think he would let someone stab him and walk free.

↳Maybe they’ll just make three or four buildings explode altogether to take him out.

↳Are we going to see reports about fire in the middle of Paris soon?



―JISS: Wow! He’s big-hearted. The Tyrant openly said he doesn’t know who Henri is, but he still called the Tyrant his idol.

↳I feel like he’s being subtly sarcastic. Am I the only one who feels that way?

↳He’s not being subtle at all.

↳Henri is famous for being a jerk, and Chang-Sun goaded him, so... I think someone is going to be seriously hurt soon.

The interview Chang-Sun had given instigated fervent reactions overall. Some liked that Chang-Sun acted like his usual self and said what he had to say without tiptoeing around anyone despite being in a foreign country. On the other hand, some expressed concerns, thinking Chang-Sun’s too-arrogant interview could put Korea and France on bad terms. Although many French communities on the internet had several heated discussions, the interview didn’t cause serious problems thanks to Joachim, who immediately gave an interview after Chang-Sun had left.



―Psypa: Praise Duke.Blue.Wolf.

↳I think the Illuminati emissary fell head over heels when he came to recruit the Tyrant.

↳I noticed the French media isn’t making a big deal out of it anymore since the ‘Duke-Class’ Player stood up for him.

―#72699: But it’s a bit strange, you know.

↳What do you mean?

↳The Tyrant’s interview. He normally doesn’t tiptoe around anyone, but he played smart and stayed inside the line. However, it looked like he was intentionally pouring oil on the fire. Is he scheming something?

↳No way, the Tyrant pulled the Tyrant. That’s all.

↳Is it? I feel like he’s aiming to achieve something. The Tyrant is the type of person who uses his brain in combat.

↳You’re speaking nonsense. Wash your feet and sleep.

Thud!

Constantine Brunit irritatedly slammed the desk, which had a pile of tabloid articles about Chang-Sun on top. He looked quite angry. “This Asian is blatantly coming at us!”

Constantine, who was also known as the Red Eagle or Red Eagle Duke, stood on the opposite side of Joachim, dividing up the Illuminati Senate into two major factions. He currently had his attention on Chang-Sun, who was visiting France.

Even though the White Tiger Clan had publicly declared that Chang-Sun visited France to clear the ‘Wuthering Stone Desert,’ Constantine believed Chang-Sun was in France to ‘take over’ the Illuminati after he had been coaxed by Joachim. Hence, to him, it seemed Chang-Sun was telling him and his Illuminati colleagues through this interview that they were a bunch of small fries who should just prepare to hand over their powers to Chang-Sun.

Of course, Constantine had zero intention of handing over the Illuminati to an Asian whom he didn’t even know well. After all, he personally thought he and his colleagues were the ones who knew the goddess’ will the best.

Peep!

When Constantine pressed a button, his secretary, who was standing by outside, quietly entered Consantine’s office. “Yes, sir?”

“Louie is outside, right?” Constantine asked.

“Yes. He’s waiting for you, sir.” The secretary nodded.

“Bring him inside this instant. It looks like I have to prepare for Kreuzzug.” Constantine gritted his teeth.
