Chapter 178

Hurriedly arrived at Awakener Headquarters.

Confirming surroundings already reporters gathered a lot as if heard news from somewhere.

“Ara Hongryeon executives!”

“Take photo, quickly! Before entering!”

“Awakener Kang Hanul! Fine asking one question! Please!”

Fortunately headquarters staff coming out and controlling personnel. Thanks to that we able to enter inside safely.

‘...Tense.’

Looking at reporters the seriousness of the situation suddenly realized. What lightning this in clear sky.

“Sorry gathering suddenly like this. Follow me inside.”

Team leader Kang Gyeongheon who saw once last time guiding us.

Awakener Headquarters possessing giant dome shaped ceiling made of transparent glass so fresh sunlight illuminating inside.

Yet interior environment and interior standing out modern sense destroying my prejudice possessed toward Awakener Headquarters.

The place guided of course conference hall.

Even while moving team leader Kang mindlessly exchanging wireless contact.

“Will escort inside.”

Soon opening door and entering quite many people existing.

For now our guild master and sister-in-law Siyoung.

Beside that Iron Blood and Terror’s people.

Director also and many westerners first seeing opposite.

“Came.”

Awkward language. But meaning properly conveyed.

Macheonru’s Ryu Wangjin looking at me and saying. Beside him Ryu Cheon expressionlessly diligently waving hands gladly.

“Ryu Cheon Ryu Cheon.”

Ara quietly whispering due to atmosphere.

When Ara waving hands along Ryu Cheon who saw that appearance clenching the waving hands and not knowing what to do.

Grin.

This time Ino Junichi.

He looking at me and just smiling with strength. Beside such him first seeing figures together.

Atmosphere quiet.

Not bleak but appearance exactly like after one storm swept.

“Welcome.”

Approaching guild master Han Seokjun side he welcoming us. Sister-in-law Siyoung also combing Ara’s head and welcoming.

“That person the party of this incident?”

English heard.

But meaning well conveyed whether opponent also using same artifact as Ryu Wangjin.

“Right. Our guild’s awakener Lee Gyuseong.”

“Hmm.”

Not knowing when entering but looking now Michael Rodman.

‘Waa.’

To think seeing world famous star here. Knew he European Union but not dreaming of directly coming to Korea.

“Now party came so fine other country people withdrawing.”

“We not others. People who received grace from Lee Gyuseong.”

At Michael’s words Ryu Wangjin snorting and not withdrawing.

“Will only confirm if you playing tricks so rest assured. Not coming to pick bean powder.”

“Better filtering words a bit?”

Oh, cancel the opinion not bleak.

Looking now bleak no less completely dry seeming.

Clap.

Director clapping hands and refreshing atmosphere.

Whoever saying this Republic of Korea.

If only giving initiative to other places face not standing.

“Mr. Gyuseong.”

Then guild master quietly calling me.

“Yes.”

“Actually most story all ended. Fine just coordinating details. The reason escorting Mr. Gyuseong to receive apology directly and show content about transaction.”

“A, yes.”

When nodding sister-in-law Siyoung showing something. Document densely filled with letters.

“Uaaa.”

Eyes spinning.

Professional terms also and words difficult so not understanding well.

“This for now professional and here summary.”

Sister-in-law packing something again.

Oh, now a bit readable!

Summary simply organized so even ordinary person able to understand. Content roughly like this.

1. European Union apologizes to Lee Gyuseong and compensates mental damage. At this time decide whether amount as Lee Gyuseong wanting or item, or intangible goods.

2. Instead of delivering Lee Gyuseong’s items to European Union acquire certain ratio of dungeon shares. This also decide according to Lee Gyuseong’s choice.

3. Give authority for Ara Hongryeon and its allied guilds to participate in anger’s dungeon clear. However, possible only once if European Union abandons after attempting clear.

4. If Lee Gyuseong wanting Lee Gyuseong self able to participate in dungeon clear. However, in such case unable to guarantee safety.

Reading roughly even summary quite long content. Coordination about detailed numbers seeming not ended yet.

“Actually first and second items main. The remaining two just pretending to pack.”

“Um...”

3rd item no meaning as sister-in-law’s words because European Union no way abandoning clear.

4th item said able to participate but same as do well on own. Items just pretending to pack literally.

Nevertheless no particular words ultimately because 1, 2 items main transaction content.

“Separately more wanting?”

“No. Seeming sufficient.”

Answering shaking head at Han Seokjun’s words.

Then Ara beside quickly taking the summary saying self also wanting to see.

“Lee Gyuseong Gyuseong, mental, damage compensation, receiving. Dungeon shares? Receiving...”

Ara reading text exactly like babbling cute. Expression of seriously looking immersed alone too trivial.

“Uum... such.”

Fully contracted brows.

Wanting to touch and stretch with a chwaak.

“Confirmed?”

One of European Union side figures who was conversing with director and other guilds for a while asking us. Fluent Korean.

“Yes, confirmed.”

“No additional or correction matters?”

Attitude approaching extremely businesslike.

Feeling strong of not particularly coming to apologize but not wanting to give justification.

‘Somehow spiteful.’

Honestly saying me also no particular damage received so thought whether have to do this much but looking at such attitude mood not good.

Actually our Ara if not immune to all poisons almost big matter!

“Curious something.”

“Speak.”

“Written able to participate in dungeon clear but wanting to hear explanation about this part a bit in detail.”

“Dungeon... clear.”

Opponent slightly flustered whether asked unexpected. Soon asking me.

“This clause only Mr. Lee Gyuseong able to participate alone. Unable to accompany someone together or such.”

“Know. Me also read the written there.”

“Not knowing the reason combat type not awakener Mr. Lee Gyuseong necessarily having interest in this clause.”

“Yes? Having interest because in clause. For now please explanation a bit.”

What? Intending to fight spirit?

Even if me unable to clear curious for now why necessarily picking fight.

“Please say.”

Michael beside gesturing as if annoying.

Then the person who was using Korean casually sighing and explaining.

“Um, for now able to enter anger’s dungeon. We will make pass separately later. But as saying again only Mr. Gyuseong alone possible. Knowing anger grade 9 dungeon?”

“Yes.”

“...Anger’s dungeon controlled by our European Union side so if only presenting pass for now entry possible, but our side responsibility none at all regarding matters experienced inside.”

“Understood.”

“Also, delivery first. If delivery quota not filled Mr. Gyuseong’s dungeon shares none.”

“Just in case saying but if dungeon clear possible any influence on shares?”

“...Shares literally how much capital put in this dungeon. Of course performance shares existing with only clear itself but that only 30%. Remaining 70% capital shares.”

“Understood. Then pass when coming out?”

When my questions continuing atmosphere gradually becoming strange. Exactly eyes of really going to anger.

“...Will send within one week but really thinking of coming?”

“Souvenir. Who having such anger’s dungeon pass.”

“Haha. Right. Quite symbolic with only anger’s dungeon pass. Probably arriving at guild side if waiting about 3 days.”

Opponent suddenly speaking kindly with brightened face.

But me drawing sinister smile inside.

‘Mining worker jackpot.’

Have to kidnap all entering, no move.

Even if European Union side saying something later consistently feigning ignorance what you able to do?

“Hehe.”

When laughter leaking without knowing people snorting and laughing whether mistook as rejoicing at pass.

But only main Bokkeum on Ara and my back trembling and looking at me.

“Lee Gyuseong Gyuseong doing evil thought...!”

Ara saying so but no one giving interest. Rather conference atmosphere riding rapid and progressing smoothly.

“A, one request wanting to make a bit.”

Michael’s words.

No but these people really came to apologize to me? Too shameless momentarily forgot.

“Please speak.”

When our guild master stepping forward Michael smiling and saying.

“By any chance able to confirm awakener Lee Gyuseong’s items now?”

“Kr heum!”

Hyung Hanul revealing uncomfortable color.

Other people’s expressions also not good.

“Of course.”

But me completely not caring, no rather expressing welcome and nodding.

‘Hehehe.’

Daring wanting to confirm items?

Not fine. You have to taste my food a bit.

Will clearly show my item’s value not only in effect.

‘Much more advantageous in negotiation too.’

Have to feed full and send back the Ryu father and daughter or Junichi who came for me, for me right? as repayment.

“Mr. Gyuseong, by any chance thinking of cooking?”

Then Junichi first speaking to me.

When me nodding soon seeming sensing my intention and showing similar sinister smile to me.

“Then good! Just in time brought Mr. Jaeseong together. Waiting in Awakener Headquarters reception room.”

Nice, Junichi!

Food materials fine bringing with portal using Gluttony’s owner so only cooking fine but if Jaeseong existing just perfect.

“Everyone, by any chance time remaining a bit?”

“What, fine until now though.”

“Then me will treat meal. Just in time dinner time approaching soon.”

European Union side personnel lukewarm reaction.

Air of just wanting to confirm my items quickly.

But reaction rather coming from other place.

“Mr. Gyuseong’s food!”

“Heum heum, food not bad. By any chance tofu pudding this time too?”

“We time free anytime!”

Director Jeon Yeongju and Ryu Wangjin, and domestic guild people nodding with full expecting expression.

Confirming people’s reactions me soon standing from seat.

“Not taking long.”

Then, everyone expect.

Will make my food continuously thinking even on the way returning home each.
