It was a situation in which I was inferior in terms of information quality. To be honest, we could have sent an audit to find out who the traitor was, but it would have taken ages.
However, the information that I’m currently in possession of, was only known by 4 out of the 7 billion people on the planet right now.
, Kwon Jae-hyeok, Jung Yi Joon, and Jang Eui Yeol. All of them were mine… well except for Eui Yeol.
‘But Eui Yeol has decided to sign the contract.’
Having said that, they were all mine. As a result, I was the only source of information for the US governnt.
Naturally, the US governnt could continue to plant personnel to infiltrate Sungwoon or the Sungwoon dical facility, but this would necessitate obtaining knowledge outside the gate.
They clearly had so intelligence left. Because this was not the last gate, they would need so information to prepare for it.
“Her na is Jin Oh Yoon, this office’s manager. In exchange for letting in, she made the right decision to safely send her daughter to college.”
“Okay.”
As soon as I heard it, I grinned. I grabbed my phone and sent a text ssage to Ki Hyun-Joo, revealing the traitor’s identity.
When Ki Hyun-Joo saw my text ssage, she was obviously taken aback and called right away, but I didn’t respond.
It’s now up to to fulfill my side of the deal.
Rachel, who had been waiting for to answer her questions, asked.
“Can you answer my questions now? I’d like to hear what happened that day you disappeared in full detail.”
“It actually started as a joke… Soone lured them to that building and locked them up. We were talking when they suddenly got sucked into the gate.”
“I took out my phone and dialed an associate’s number to inform them that a weird thing was floating in the air. I also told them to get back up guild mbers just in case, since it could be dangerous.”
“Why did you ask for guild mbers?”
“I’m not stupid enough to think that sothing strange floating in the sky is harmless. I know there are a few people who have supernatural talents and can do so sort of magic like that, but as I said, I’m not stupid enough to assu that it’s sothing natural.”
“Okay.”
“I saw them being sucked inside while making the phone call… I panicked so I decided to follow them. I couldn’t bear it even though I knew that what I was doing was irrational.”
Jang Yeol seed a little perplexed when he heard such words, since it was a little different from what I had said when we were inside the gate. But still, he didn’t say anything and just kept listening.
“Inside it was like a tropical rainforest, yet, it wasn’t… For example, it wasn’t muggy. It was the current weather, like here in Korea. Even the gate that we ca in through vanished, but after we returned, I found myself in the sa spot as when I went through. It looked like the entrance point was the sa.”
“Did you eat water and fruit?”
“Yes, since I was hungry, and I thought if anything was going to go wrong, I would have already had trouble breathing when I entered. Also, the colour of the silver ring did not change, so I decided that there was nothing like poison.”
“That’s a very risky decision. Not all poisons react to silver. Fortunately, there were no abnormalities in your physical examination.”
I inwardly laughed at Rachel’s remarks chastising my actions. It seems that the author only knew how to determine poison through reading science fiction books, which was stupid.
I was only guilty of following instructions, because it was written in the original book that it was safe to consu and drink if there were no irregularities when determined by eye, touch, and silver.
Rachel seed to ponder what I had stated thus far for a mont.
‘If the vegetation is the sa, isn’t it feasible to use it to expand our territory?’
‘Isn’t that sothing you’re thinking about?’
The United States had also liked to use the inside of the gate as an extension of their lands in the novel.
This was because their land was now barren. The well-functioning natural cycle had co to a stop, the rivers had dried up, and the soil could no longer yield anything.
The difficulty now lay in the fact that the United States was wounded and other countries could fuck them over again at any ti, especially now that they knew the gate vanished when the dinsion stone was destroyed.
The more people that enter the gate, the more damage will be done to them.
In addition, compared to other places, intimidating the interior of the gate would cause less national indignation. Killing people, for example, would beco less common.

‘The only option they had was to fail.’
The more money they pour in, the more it flows out.
The United States lost a lot of money, that’s why they needed to get out of the gate business.
Rachel inquired for more information after pondering the situation. I kept reminiscing about what had transpired.
When I ntioned we faced a dinosaur as a boss monster, Rachel’s expression got a little warped.
“There was a big crystal next to the dinosaur. Exactly how large was it? It was suspended in the air. The dinosaur looked to be protecting it, so it seed significant, but we were not sure what it was.”
“That is true.”
“Then the dinosaur rushed and assaulted us. It was really powerful. Yi Joon, a skilled fighter, was forced to battle on his own. It was so powerful that he collapsed and was forced to run away, but the dinosaur continued to chase us.”
“What exactly happened?”
“It was then that my enthusiasm was rekindled. I’m not sure if you know, but the bull and we crossed the distance together. The dinosaur retreated after seeing controlling the bull and threatening him with the crystal.”
Eui Yeol looked at again after hearing those things. He didn’t say anything, though. He also didn’t say anything when he noticed that I never inford Rachel that he owned the bull.
“What did you do to get out of there?”
“That—”
The mory of that mont resurfaced in my mind. With a dinsion stone, Kwon Jae-Hyeok was wandering in the rain. He even broke it down while asking to go ho, as if he knew exactly how to use it.
‘There is no need to hide it.’
Because I didn’t know what Kwon Jae-Hyuk was up to, I wanted to keep it hidden until it was safe to be disclosed. However, if I covered it up, Rachel would quickly realize that Kwon Jae-Hyeok had played a significant role in our safe return ho.
If I was going to be discovered anyway, it was not a smart idea to hide it and give the impression that I was recalcitrant.
‘It is still the country with the most talented people and the greatest military in the world.’
The United States was still one of the most capable powers, despite the fact that it sustained losses as a result of future gate developnt.
Before speaking, I pretended to consider for a bit.
“I was relaxing in a cave when Jae-Hyeok Hyung appeared with a crystal and ca to us. I felt a force pulling on after I broke the crystal, and when I opened my eyes I was at Sungwoon, not a cave.”
She didn’t say she thought she knew sothing, but based on what I’d stated thus far, she may have guessed. Rachel paused for a mont, then stood up from my bed.
“All right, thank you for your cooperation, but might I have a little more of your ti?”
“What?”
“I’d like you two to put your hands on this.”
Rachel took an agent’s bag from outside and opened it to reveal a large plate, which I recognized as an ability ter. Rachel handed it to Eui Yeol first.
He looked at to confirm if I wanted him to comply. Once I nodded at him, Eui Yeol placed his hand on the ter without hesitation.
Rachel smiled, took back the ter, and handed it to after the ter emitted an intense yellow light.
“Mr. Ki.”
Eui Yeol, on the other hand, stared at with a cautious expression, as I placed my hand on the ter.
I was also concerned about what I would do if what I had hidden was revealed after she examined the ter with her own eyes.
Putting my hand on the ter after a quick glance at Rachel, I smiled. There was no response once more.
Rachel’s expression changed as if a funeral had begun, and I could tell she had lost interest.
She hadn’t said anything, but had previously looked at like I was hiding sothing.
Like maybe the fact that I had experienced an internal ergency and suddenly gained powers, for example.
The ter, on the other hand, was not able to check my abilities since I was irregular. So, to Rachel, I’d just look like a jerk adolescent with a lot of money.
Rachel’s curiosity had waned, but she didn’t lose her manners. Thank you, she said with the sa smile as when she faced Eui Yeol.
“I appreciate your cooperation from both of you. Is Mr. Jang currently a mber of any organization? If not, I suggest contacting the US governnt. We can even assist you with immigration in a safe manner.”
“Uh—”
“Unfortunately, it’s a little too late for you, Rachel, because Eui Yeol has chosen to join .”
