Sejun, striding with confidence, went to Kellion to inquire about Ajax’s matters.
Just then,
[The tower’s administrator asks what angered you.]
Aileen approached him.
“Ah?! Aileen?! Is your training done? How’s your Dragonheart? Is it better?”
Sejun asked hurriedly, expressing his concerns.
[The tower’s administrator says that thanks to you, the Dragonheart has finally healed.]
“Really?! That’s great!”
Sejun expressed his genuine happiness upon hearing Aileen’s answer.
[The tower’s administrator says that from now on, you can leave everything to them.]
“Okay.”
‘Hehehe. If I just follow Aileen now, life will be smooth sailing, right?’
Upon hearing the words of Aileen, the real power holder of the tower, Sejun felt elated, seeing a brighter future. However, whether this was true remained to be seen.
[The tower’s administrator asks you to explain why you are angry.]
“Ah. Actually…”
Sejun began to explain in detail to Aileen everything from when Kellion was caught stealing seeds to just moments ago.
***
“Hehehe. Sejun, just trust me and leave everything to me! I’ll take care of everything!”
Aileen, having finished her training, spoke with immense confidence. And it was well-deserved.
While using the fragment of the Dragonheart to heal her own Dragonheart, an unexpected event occurred.
– How much pain did you endure?
The consciousness of the original owner of the Dragonheart fragment, a black dragon, awoke and began assisting Aileen with the healing.
Surprisingly, the owner of the Dragonheart fragment was the first black dragon, Kai-ra, the most powerful dragon of that era.
– Child, never forget the pride of the great black dragon.
“Yes, Grandmother Kai-ra!”
Thanks to this, with the assistance of Kai-ra’s lingering consciousness, Aileen raised her talent by five levels and acquired the talent: Resilient Dragonheart.
Not only was her Dragonheart healed, but she also became much more powerful than her peers.
“What?! You made Ajax from the White Tower your slave, and he’s not listening? Just call him! I’ll handle it!”
Aileen confidently urged Sejun to summon Ajax when
[A white dragon, Ajax Mamebe, is trying to infiltrate the Black Tower.]
[Do you wish to allow the intrusion?]
A message appeared in Aileen’s crystal orb. In the past, her magic power wasn’t sufficient, and the Black Tower’s defense system didn’t function properly. But now, things were drastically different.
With Aileen’s ample magic power, the primary functions of the defense system began to operate, detecting Ajax’s attempt to infiltrate through a secret passage.
“Oh! No need to call him. Don’t. I’ll go get him.”
Aileen exited the administrator area and flew swiftly towards Ajax.
‘How dare he disobey our Sejun?’
Aileen was angrier at Ajax for disobeying Sejun than for secretly infiltrating the Black Tower. Thus, Aileen flew towards where Ajax was.
Then,
“Park Sejun, you just wait. I’ll make you pay for insulting me!”
“What?!”
Upon hearing Ajax’s words, an angry Aileen began to relentlessly beat him.
Thud! Thud!
“Cough! Choke!”
‘What’s going on?’
Ajax couldn’t comprehend the current situation. Aileen was supposed to be confined to the administrator’s area due to her Dragonheart hardening illness.
And yet?! Not only was she perfectly fine outside the administrator’s area, but she was also strong enough to beat someone 300 years her senior.
“Uh… Aileen! Let’s talk! It’s me, Ajax! Brother Ajax! Don’t you recognize me?”
In his hurry to avoid more beating, Ajax called out to Aileen.
However,
“Of course, I know you! Our Sejun’s slave!”
“What?!”
“Why aren’t you listening to our Sejun?”
This only enraged Aileen even more.
Thud! Thud!
Aileen continued to beat Ajax until her anger subsided.
‘Hehehe. This is so relieving.’
Having dealt with Ajax, Aileen grabbed him by the collar and dragged him to Sejun.

40th floor of the tower.
“I’m embarrassed to say, but recently our sturdy blade green onion leaves were stolen by other hunters. I’m afraid they will continue to target the green onion leaves… We might not be able to protect them on our own. We need help.”
Han Tae-jun asked the cat interns who brought the sturdy blade green onion leaves, for assistance.
“How dare they steal from our Chairman Park?!”
“I’ll report this to Vice Chairman Theo right away!”
“I’ll call the wolf team immediately!”
The cat interns busily sprang into action. How dare they touch the belongings of Chairman Park and Vice Chairman Theo! This was unforgivable. They were extremely attached.
Initially, these cats became interns not out of attachment but due to coercion. However, lately, they took pride in their job.
Due to their contracts, they could only earn a grilled fish per day as salary, but they also received 1% of the sales as an incentive. This incentive turned out to be significant. If they worked hard, they could earn 50 to 100 Tower coins a month.
Because of this, they went from being the troublemakers at home to being the pride of their homes and became the envy of many cats in the Granier Village .
Now, their goal was not to finish their contract period and become free, but to become official employees after their internship.
The cat interns scattered to various places to report the situation.
“It’s an emergency! There are beings stealing Vice Chairman Theeo’s belongings. We need reinforcements!”
“How dare they try to steal the belongings of Theo Park, the subordinate of the great Black Dragon?!”
Cat intern Bill went to King Ulrich of the Black Orcs, located on the 41st floor, and requested support.
***
“I wonder if she’s okay?”
Sejun worried about Aileen, who suddenly mentioned bringing Ajax and then cut off the message. Meanwhile,
“Cuengi, wake up. Let’s take a bath.”
Sejun woke up Cuengi, planning to bathe him while the rice cakes were being cooked. However,
Krueng…
[Cuengi is sleepy…]
Cuengi was grumpy from being woken up. Forcibly waking him could make the baby beast aggressive. But, of course, Sejun had a secret weapon to get Cuengi up instantly.
“I’ll give you honey after your bath.”
Krueng!
[Cuengi will take a bath!]
As expected, Cuengi immediately got up at Sejun’s words. Sejun then took him to the fountain for a bath.
“Meow meow meow.”
Theo, at the center of the original fountain where Kaiser used to be, was humming while grooming himself, keeping an eye on Sejun. He licked himself thoroughly, afraid Sejun might find him dirty and bathe him.
After the bath,
“Chairman Park! Cuengi! Watch my awesome landing, meow!”
Theo shouted and leaped from a 20m high fountain, making three aerial spins and landing in a superhero stance.
“Puhuhut. How do I look? Cool, right?”
Theo asked smugly, putting both hands on his hips.
Clap clap clap.
“Whoa! You do look cool!”
Sejun clapped and admitted. It was a perfect landing. There wasn’t even a sound, let alone any dust.
Krueng!
[Cuengi can do it too!]
Seeing Big Bro Theo receive praise for his perfect landing, Cuengi also wanted to make a cool landing and get praised.
“Huh? Cuengi…”
Remember your weight, Cuengi! Before Sejun could stop him, Cuengi jumped off the fountain.
Spiraling.
Cuengi successfully spun 10 times in the air, harnessing both the rotational force and gravity to make a superhero landing.
Then
Boom!
The situation was entirely different from Theo’s landing.
Crack.
The ground split, and Cuengi fell straight through.
“Cuengi!”
Sejun hurriedly approached the hole that Cuengi created. But it was so deep he couldn’t see anything inside.
Rumble.
It seemed Cuengi was still falling as there was a sound from the hole.
“What should I do?”
As Sejun wondered how to rescue Cuengi,
Krueng!
Cuengi suddenly sprang out from the hole. He had jumped back up from the bottom, returning to top again.
“Cuengi! You’re safe! Huh?! What is this…?”
Relieved, Sejun started to notice the aftermath of Cuengi’s landing. Cracks were visible on Sejun’s brick house, the fountain top, the water canal, and all the other buildings.
On top of that, the rice cakes Sejun made all day were covered in dust.
“Phew…”
Sejun sighed upon seeing the dusty cakes.
Krueng…?
[Did Cuengi do something wrong…?]
Cuengi, who had followed Sejun to show off, asked with a choked up voice, realizing his mistake.
“It’s okay. We can wash it off and cut off the parts with dirt. But be careful from now on.”
Sejun comforted Cuengi, patting his head.
Krueng! Krueng!
[Got it! From now on, Cuengi will be careful when jumping from high places!]
As they were cleaning off the dirt from the rice cakes,
“Sejun! I’m here!”
Aileen arrived on the 99th floor, leading Ajax. With a loud cry filled with immense power. Aileen still wasn’t used to controlling her strength.
Kbooom.
A massive surge of energy hit the 99th floor.
And then
“Huh?!”
Of course, Sejun, the official manager of the 99th floor, found himself facing a sudden life-threatening crisis. Aileen had become too powerful for Sejun to handle.
[The body is critically injured from exposure to immense power.]
[<Power: Indestructible Body> has been activated.]
[Using magic power to protect the body from breaking.]
Thud!
Sejun suddenly felt a heavy weight in his chest, and his legs gave out.
“Chairman Park!”
Krueng!
[Dad!]
Theo and Cuengi rushed to support Sejun.
“Sejun! Where are you?”
In the meantime, Aileen shouted out once again to find Sejun, this time with even more powerful magic power.
[Dragon Tribe Skill – Dragon Skin has been activated.]
[The scale of the great Black Dragon, Kaiser, has been destroyed.]
The dragon tattoo protected Sejun from Aileen’s magic, and then disappeared.
“Ugh…”
Unable to withstand Aileen’s powerful magic, Sejun passed out.
“Chairman Park!”
Theo used the spare scales of Kaiser he had to engrave a dragon tattoo onto Sejun’s body once again.
At that moment,
Flap. Flap.
Kaiser and Kellion, who were drinking, sensed the massive magic wave and moved.
Then,
– Aileen?!
– Ajax!!!
The two dragons were taken aback when they saw Aileen, who was exuding immense magic power, and Ajax, who was unconscious and held by the scruff of his neck by Aileen.
“Grandpa! I’m all better now!”
Aileen said cheerfully to Kaiser.
Sssss.
Every time Aileen spoke, her magic spread, causing the crops in the field to quickly turn yellow. They were dying from being overwhelmed by Aileen’s magic power.
– Aileen! Let’s go to the administrator’s area and talk!
Kaiser tried to change the location quickly.
“No! I want to see Sejun first!”
– Look around. The crops Sejun grew are dying because of your magic power. Sejun won’t like that. Let’s go to the administrator’s area first.
While Kaiser mentioned the crops, he was in a hurry because he knew that if Aileen didn’t leave soon, Sejun might die. Currently, Kaiser was blocking some of the magic power heading towards where Sejun was.
“Ugh. Fine.”
Realizing that she might earn Sejun’s ire if the crops died, Aileen followed Kaiser’s advice and moved to the administrator’s area with the two dragon statues and Ajax.
“Phew! That was close, meow!”
Krueng?
[Big brother… Is dad okay now?]
As Theo let out a sigh of relief, Cuengi, who had Sejun’s head between his legs and was wrapping him with his front paws, asked.
“Yes, meow! He’s okay now, meow!”
Theo replied, patting Sejun’s face.
Then,
“Chairman Park, why are you so weak, meow?!”
Theo lamented, rubbing Sejun’s frail face.
*****
Sejun, striding with confidence, went to Kellion to inquire about Ajax’s matters.
