Closed Beta That Only I Played Chapter 188 - Gold (2)

Chapter 188: Gold (2)

Of course, I told my father that he didn’t need to. Even if Mirae did sothing stupid, I was confident of making them pay a painful price and make them lag behind even Daeyu, the smallest of the top five business groups in Korea. Nonetheless, I reluctantly accepted my father’s advice that I should be very careful.

Anyway, the Dragon’s Grave soon ca into view. It was quite big and spotless as if they maintained it very well. At that mont, a group of people approached . Of course, I have seen them several tis. Actually, I t them during the 4th anniversary special event.

“Hi, Asirante. I’m Junghwan Yon. It’s been a while since we last t.”

“Yes, it’s nice to et you.”

Of course, I often encountered the chairman not only in gas but also in reality.

But I greeted him as politely as possible. I acted with a swagger just like I did during the 4th Anniversary event, but nobody from the Mirae Group who accompanied the chairman expressed any overt displeasure about my swagger even if they felt differently on the inside.

Anyway, Chairman Yon opened his mouth casually as if he expected to show such an attitude.

“By the way, thank you for accepting my request.”

“You’re welco. I think you should ask Daeyu Group for this kind of eting instead of Myongjin, so I’m a bit…”

“Hahaha. I’ve felt it’s more certain to ask Myongjin, not Daeyu, to arrange this eting with you. It seems to that Myongjin will better fulfill my request. But I hope you won’t forget that the Mirae Group is open to you, too.”

“Well, Daeyu is very generous to .”

Of course, I knew why Chairman Yon made such remarks, so I changed the topic while responding to him appropriately. In no ti I followed the chairman to a place reserved for this eting, which was off-limits to the Myongjin people.

At the place, there were four people including Chairman Yon and . Among them was Yon’s daughter and successor, Bora.

She has been staring at for so ti since I got here.

So I opened my mouth quietly because it was rather strange for to not say anything when sobody was staring at like that.

“Well, I’m a little displeased right now since it seems like I’m going to be interrogated.”

I spat out such words to show my displeasure.

That was enough to convey my ssage.

Anyway, when Bora stopped staring at , another man stood up and opened his mouth.

“Asirante, nice to et you. My na is Sungyop Yu. Can I explain to you first why we invited you here?”

“Yeah. Please.”

Honestly, I was curious about it, so I nodded. He quickly looked around once and quietly opened his mouth as if he was extrely afraid that sobody might overhear.

“We here at the Mirae Guild have found sothing very special.”

“Pardon?”

Of course, I took it for granted that they would ask for my help when they decided to invite here. It could be a quest or a boss monster hunt, but I thought they would ask for help anyway.

So, I could not help but be a little embarrassed when he suddenly said they had found sothing special.

This man nad Sungyop Yu continued as if he didn’t care about my surprise.

“We haven’t been able to solve this particular thing. So, we want you to take a look at it,” he said vaguely.

“…”

Since he was so vague, I had no choice but to level a suspicious stare at him. As if he read my mind, he quickly continued, “I can certainly assure you that nothing dangerous will happen to you. We are very proud that soone like you lives in Korea. We don’t intend to deceive or endanger you, Asirante. Furthermore, Myongjin is a strong rival of ours, so we cannot antagonize them recklessly.”

“Hmm… good.” Of course, I didn’t believe him.

However, I was curious about the special thing he ntioned because even the Mirae Group Chairman Yon had to invite directly to check it out.

Of course, it was true I was curious about it, but I also had another reason for coming here.

It’s because of Bora Yon.

At present, my na Lun was widely known among the families of the top business groups as soone rather old-fashioned and stupid as far as gas were concerned. In particular, when I admitted that I was a total beginner in gas at the marriage ceremony uniting the direct family mbers of the Daesung and Kusan Groups, it further cented their prejudices against .

But Bora constantly showed interest in with that na Lun.

So, honestly, I thought it would have been nice if sothing bad happened because it could stop the Mirae Group or Bora from paying attention to .

Tramp- Tramp-

20 minutes later I kept walking toward the Dragon’s Tomb.

Of course, I heard that it was impossible to move that peculiar thing, but that just made more and more suspicious. And it took another 30 minutes for to find it.

It really was sothing special like Sungyop Yu said.

It was a huge gold piece. A huge gold piece was placed on the wall that marked the end of the Dragon’s Tomb. Of course, that alone wasn’t particularly strange. But light was emitting from the huge gold piece.

At that mont, the guy nad Sungyop who escorted there opened his mouth.

“Asirante, I think you must know that each country is blocked in ga from each other by a ‘channel’ or ‘wall’.”

“…”

I didn’t reply

However, this guy continued as if he didn’t expect to reply anyway.

“And this is the door to the channel or wall. Sharing. Exploration into Another Region”

As soon as he finished talking, a ssage rang imdiately.

[You have been asked by the Mirae advance party to share the ‘Exploration of Another Region.’

-If you accept it, you must be included in the Mirae advance party.]

“…”

Exploration of another region? I didn’t expect it at all, not to ntion their unexpected sharing of the event.

At that mont, Sungyop who directly shared ‘Exploration of Another Region’ with opened his mouth.

“After you accept our offer, you can withdraw imdiately if you don’t want to proceed. Of course, there is no penalty for your withdrawal at all. But…”

He paused for a mont, then moved to the cracked wall where light was perating through.

Pointing to the wall, he continued, “Before you accept our offer, could you please launch all attacks possible on this huge cracked wall? It’s embarrassing to tell you this, but we at the Mirae Group could not break this cracked wall. Well, we could not even make the cracks larger, not to ntion breaking it. That’s why we have invited you here.”

Now, I understood why the Mirae Group unusually shared this event with .

So I wanted to say sothing on my end.

“It looks like you are rather clumsy in dealing with .”

Of course, I fully understood why they could not tell the reason in the presence of the Myongjin people. If I were in their position, I would do so as well.

But they needed to express their wishes to more clearly. If they had done so, I would not have gotten any doubts or deliberated in my head about deciding whether I should drive the Mirae Group and Bora out of my realm.

Anyway, I accepted Sungyop’s offer right away, not caring about Sungyop, Chairman Yon and Bora who were embarrassed by my provocative response.

I was summoned to other regions before, including Region 0 by Pablo and another Region by Edwin belonging to the Shaipe Group. But moving to another region was far from ordinary.

[You have accepted the special event ‘Exploration of Another Region’.

-You have automatically joined the Mirae Advance Party.

-If you withdraw, the ‘Exploration of Another Region’ event will automatically disappear.]

[Special event: Exploration of Another Region.

-Congratulations! You have found a door connected to another region.

However, the door is still cracked, so you can’t use it now.

So, to use the door, you have to completely smash the remaining cracks on the wall]

“Do you have to break the wall alone”

After checking the ssage, I imdiately asked a question. Otherwise, they could have smashed the crack with sheer numbers and would not have bothered to invite here.

As if my prediction was correct, Sungyop nodded and replied.

“Yes. Even if 10, 100, or 1000 n attack, only the strongest man’s damage is applied. Even if we attack one after another, it doesn’t work.”

“Hmm, I think you have co to the right person.”

Of course, they may feel displeased with what I just said, but it was an undeniable fact.

So, I confidently responded like that.

In fact, no one including Chairman Yon refuted .
