Chapter 63: Star, The Meeting (1)
“Wh-what...?”
“Why’re people suddenly...?”
The guard post that had been protecting the gate leading to the Black Blood Mountain Range was in chaos. The guards had already been in disorder due to Director Gwon and the Inspection Department members barging in. On top of that, the probationers and instructors had all been forced out of the dungeon due to the gate closing. Among the crowds, there were also Inspection Department members who were there to investigate the blown-up lab.
Everyone looked perplexed. Nobody had expected that the Dungeon Mission would be concluded. Some were so confused that they thought they must have been forced to exit the Dungeon to carry out a new Dungeon Mission, but those with sharper judgment realized the true reason. It was due to the person that had ranked first in the Dungeon Ranking, with an overwhelmingly higher score than the White Tiger Clan Leader. The person whom people couldn’t easily refer to by name.
“Lee Chang-Sun...! Someone get Lee Chang-Sun...! Come on!” Someone shouted at the top of their lungs.

―BabyPot: Man, my hyung-nim has done it again! It’s fucking great, sick, five, six, seven, awesome, and cool.[1]

↳Beep. Turn right to find the senior citizen center.
―UNKNOWN: What’s this? Are my eyes malfunctioning or something?
―Gaudium: The Black Blood Mountain Range is the White Tiger Clan’s training institute, right? The cursed place where ten probationers go in and only eight come out?
↳Gosh, my hyung-nim is definitely on another level.
↳I heard the Dungeon is really famous among foreign Players too. The difficulty level differs by sector, and the Dungeon is so freakishly large that they almost starved to death before completing the Dungeon Mission.
↳He even beat Sword Sky Tiger and ranked first place in the Dungeon Ranking. How did he clear a Dungeon like that?
―Steak: I once saw a video clip that showed the inside of the Dungeon, and it was freaking crazy. He cleared that Dungeon? In less than a month?
↳How could you fall for that, you idiot? It’s obvious the White Tiger Clan and the Tyrant planned it all from the start.
↳Our resident conspiracist appears again.
↳I’m not sure why they continue to live.
↳lollolloll Do you have any idea how valuable the Black Blood Mountain Range is? lollolol so you’re telling me the White Tiger Clan threw it all away to make one rookie into a hero? Well, I guess the White Tiger Clan is so filthy rich that they have money to burn!
―Steak: The Tyrant fans are going crazy nowadays, so they’ll definitely go berserk again.
↳Ah, things will get hectic if they go crazy. They’ll fight like hell again.
―Kkyong: I think the White Tiger Clan are probably the most bewildered ones in this situation. Are they not releasing an article or something?

[The ‘Tiger Kill’ is raging!]
Their faces turned pale as the husky-voiced man’s [Tiger Kill] continuously suffocated them. How could he use [Tiger Kill] this heavily in such a narrow space? There was absolutely no reason to do that, unless he actually intended to suffocate them.
“Team 2 Leader...!” After belatedly realizing who had smacked him, the Human Resources Department Head frowned and glared angrily. He felt humiliated to be smacked like a kid in a room full of his subordinates.
However, Seo Jeong-Gwon just smirked, as if challenging the department head to do something about it. “Team leader, huh? Wow, you’re talking awfully casually today. How come? Are you planning on going toe to toe with me? Well, I’m actually glad to hear that.”
“...What are you doing here... sir?” The department head could do nothing but hold back his anger.
Although a department head seemed to be a higher rank than a team leader, he couldn’t walk all over Jeong-Gwon since the Clan’s cores were actually the Raid Team Department, which operated in the public, and the Future Strategy Department that worked in the shadows.
Above all, as the Raid Team 2 Leader, Jeong-Gwon was the right-hand man of Executive Director Oh, who was the most influential person within the Clan. Jeong-Gwon’s level was also much higher than the Human Resource Department Head’s, so there was a high possibility that squabbling with Jeong-Gwon would only lead to more humiliation.
Jeong-Gwon smirked even harder at the dispirited department head, then gestured at Chang-Sun with his chin. “I’m here to take him.”
“We aren’t done investigating...!” The department head started.
“Investigation my ass. You were interrogating him. Anyhow, I’m taking him, do you have a problem with that?”
Jeong-Gwon stepped forward menacingly, bringing himself face-to-face with the department head.
Although the department head still looked upset, he had to take a step backward. Even the Personnel Section Chief had been quietly urging him to back down. Technically, the Human Resources Department members weren’t in a position to question Chang-Sun’s group, since they were the ones that had confidently urged the probationers to clear the Dungeon if they could. If Chang-Sun had simply said ‘I did what you asked me to do’, they would have had no response.
However, they could not have possibly expected that someone would really close the ‘Black Blood Mountain Range’. As a result, now that he was in charge of settling the damages that had occurred after the Dungeon closed, the annoyed department head was just meaninglessly releasing his frustrations on Chang-Sun’s group.
Besides, Executive Director Oh had likely instructed Jeong-Gwon to personally bring Chang-Sun’s group. All the Clan members already knew about how Chang-Sun had decided to side with Executive Director Oh, so the department head had to let them go.
“I’ll take that as a no. Everyone, follow me.” Jeong-Gwon gestured at Chang-Sun’s group.
The people between Jeong-Gwon and Chang-Sun made a path for them, pressing themselves up against the walls. As if it was only natural to do so, Chang-Sun passed by the Personnel Section Chief and the Human Resource Department Head without saying goodbye, making the department head frown again. Still, no one could stop Jeong-Gwon and Chang-Sun’s group. Gyeo-Ul instantly followed Chang-Sun out, while Eun-Seo and Geum-Gyu tentatively began walking before scurrying out behind them.
“You three follow my team members for a moment. Lee Chang-Sun, you follow me.” Jeong-Gwon instructed.
At that moment, Eun-Seo’s and Geum-Gyu’s eyes lost focus because they weren’t sure what to do. Gyeo-Ul’s eyes were fixed on Chang-Sun. It was only after Chang-Sun nodded at them reassuringly that they followed the Raid Team 2 Members’ lead.
“They must be the team members that you took under your wing in the training institute, huh?” Jeong-Gwon asked.
As Jeong-Gwon moved forward, Chang-Sun walked beside him. They were in a random hallway of the building, all alone, as if Jeong-Gwon had intentionally emptied it out beforehand. Chang-Sun wondered for a moment about how to answer. Then, he nodded—it seemed strange to say no at this point.
“That’s pretty much what happened.”
“Yeah, that’s how you start. A team is first formed by a freakin smart leader gathering up like-minded people.” Jeong-Gwon looked at Chang-Sun with interest.
Although he had wanted to have Chang-Sun as his team member for a while, and he had no problem with revealing his desires, he didn’t outright ask Chang-Sun to join his team. This was partially due to the promise he had made to Executive Director Oh, his cousin. Plus, there was another plan he had on his mind.
Even if Jeong-Gwon acted cool, Chang-Sun couldn’t care less. He didn’t want to bother paying attention to Jeong-Gwon’s every action. Therefore, Chang-Sun just randomly chatted with Jeong-Gwon for a bit, quietly wondering where he was being taken, expecting that it was Executive Director Oh that had called for him. However, he suddenly noticed something.
‘Executive Director Oh’s office isn’t in this direction.’
He turned to Jeong-Gwon and asked, “Where are we going?”
“Ah, did I not tell you?” the corners of Jeong-Gwon’s lips curled upwards. “We’re going to the Clan Leader’s office. He wants to meet you himself after hearing your story.”
“...!”
Chang-Sun’s eyes shone for a moment when he heard that Munseong, the Sword Sky Tiger and the Clan Leader, had summoned him.
