Closed Beta That Only I Played Chapter 267
Advertisement
Although I had been absorbed in reaching level 1200, I didn't have any intention of acting for the survival of the majority even if I achieved it. Even if I got there, my fence would not be that big. Because my fence was small, I had no intention of breaking other people's fences. Rather, if I could help them little by little from within my own fence, I wanted to reach out to them and help them maintain their own fences.
Anyway, my father accepted my opinion, and I understood he had contacted the Mirae Guild in advance to explain my intentions.
At this moment Chairman Junghwan Kim of the Daesung & Gusan Alliance, which had been camping out here ahead of us, stepped forward to speak.
"Well, we have already gotten here first. Of course, it doesn't mean that we are going to occupy this hunting ground completely. All we want is to guarantee our vested interests here."
Chairman Kim was pretty much on the defensive, because he knew that the Myongjin and Mirae Alliance had prevented Japan's Mitsuya Guild from advancing to this place. There were many people who had witnessed us fighting off the strongest guild of Japan, and the news had spread all over the world that the outstanding expedition that had opened the new hunting grounds was none other than the Myungjin & Mirae Alliance.
Chairman Kim was well aware of all that. It was why he had kept a low profile before the Myongjin & Mirae Alliance arrived here.
When Chairman Kim said that, my dad also stepped forward and responded quickly, "Well, we don't want to quarrel with you over this hunting ground, since we have known each other for a long time. So, how about sharing it with us evenly. In other words, each of us taking fifty percent control of this area?"
"Sounds good!" Chairman Kim replied, a little bit startled, as if he didn't expect my father's concession without any hesitation. That was enough to dissolve any possible friction between the two leaders, because the level 1500 hunting ground was not attractive at all to both sides right now.

But they both knew that this hunting ground would turn into a very valuable one later, so they judged it was enough for them to take 50% stake of this hunting ground until then.

In front of the level 1400 hunting ground in Mongolia...
Originally, I didn't want to come to this place, but when I heard that Mitsuya Guild's Chairman Ryu Sechi was coming here, I used the Teleport Zone to move directly to the place where the Tugal Guild, as well as the Myungjin and Mirae guilds, were located. My presence among them would be intimidating enough to their opponent.
As a matter of fact, Chairman Ryu, who had shown up with Mitsuya Guild members, immediately directed his attention at me. "..."
I faced him directly, not avoiding his gaze. There was a brief silence between us.
But it was Chairman Ryu who first turned his gaze to other places. He asked my father, "How about sharing it with me evenly? Don't you think that's enough?"
In fact, this was the Maginot line that my father and the top leaders of the Mirae and Tugal guilds had set in terms of Chairman Kim's stake in the hunting ground.
Of course, the Mitsuya Guild had already taken control of the level 1300 hunting ground. Likewise, it could be said that the Myongjin, Mirae, and Tusan Alliance had secured the level 1500 hunting ground, even if they shared it with the Daesung & Kusan Alliance.
Of course, the Myongjin & Mirae Alliance could fight with the Mitsuya Guild over control of the level 1400 hunting ground, but it was the dominant opinion among the top leaders of the alliance that fighting Mitsuya would bring more losses than gains, for fighting the Mitsuya would mean fighting the whole Japanese servers, which would drag on indefinitely, not ending in a couple of days.
Obviously, now was the time for the alliance to grow more!

"Great. Let me accept your offer," my father answered Chairman Kim. Their resulting agreement wrapped up any disputes over the new hunting ground.
***
After that, I went straight to the level 1500 hunting ground.
Three days later the Smith party who had declared war on me, did not appear in person, but a Message came, not just to me, but to everyone else.
[All new hunting grounds in all areas have been disclosed.
-An event is held in commemoration of the new hunting grounds.
: You obtain 1 point by killing 1 monster in the level 1300 hunting ground.
: You obtain 2 points by killing 1 monster in the level 1400 hunting ground.
: You obtain 3 points for killing 1 monster in the level 1500 hunting ground.
* If you attack the monsters as a group in party hunting, the one who deals the final blow will earn the points.
-The total duration of the event is 10 days. Rewards will be given from 1st to 10th in the order of the players' scores during the event.]
"Wow!" I had no choice but to smile at the message, for it was designed for me, no matter how much I thought about it.
***
That evening we had dinner together at the table as usual.
Of course, there was only one topic among us.
That Message rang out not only in Korea, but all over the world, which meant that the event would take place around the entire world at the same time.
"Juyoung, since you have hunted in the level 1500 hunting ground, you can keep hunting there. You can probably get the highest score there, too."
"Sure." I briefly replied to my sister.
Then my brother asked, "What about the Daesung and Kusan Alliance?"
"First of all, the new hunting ground was so vast that I hunted deep inside it to hide my Blink with zero cooldown, so I didn't bump into them often. My hunch is that lots of them were killed. When I checked the numbers of their troops, I noticed they had decreased a lot from what I had seen this morning."
Although I expected such results, it was quite unreasonable for the Daesung & Kusan Alliance to hunt in the 1500 level hunting ground instead of the level 1400 hunting ground so soon, and without any experience.
As soon as I answered, I asked my brother, "What about the Smith party?"
Currently, the main focus of Myeongjin was Smith and his party, who had declared hostilities with me because I was an immediate family member, so my presence was worthwhile.
My brother and Director Sok were directly monitoring the Smith party's movements.
"Maybe because of this event, they might not show up for a while. Juyoung, just keep hunting as you used to normally."
I was confident, but not only my father but also my mom, brother, sister, and Director Sok seemed pretty concerned about me. Moreover, my opponent was not Smith alone. Altogether that was a total of five people. Of course, I thought that it would be nice if the five guys came at least ten days after the event was over. It wasn't because I was scared about them, but because hunting in my original hunting ground would give me far more benefits during this event!
Of course, it was a fait accompli that I would win first place!
But things didn't go as I expected...

Godfather Of Champions
This is a story about the pursuit of victory.— «I subscribe only to the theory of victory. I only pursue victory. As long as I am able to obtain victory, I don’t care if it’s total football or counterattack. What is the ultimate goal of professional soccer? In my opinion, it is victory, and the pinnacle of victory is to become the champions. I am a manager. If I don’t wish to lose my job or be forgotten by the people, there’s only one path for me to take, and that is to lead the team in obtaining victories, in obtaining championship titles!»The main character was not well-liked by people.— «⋯We conducted a survey which had been deemed by Manager Tony Twain as extremely meaningless. In a random street survey conducted, ninety-three percent of those surveyed chose the option ‘I hate Tony Twain’, while only seven percent chose the option ‘This person is rather decent, I like him’. It is worth noting that nobody chose the option ‘Who is Tony Twain? I don’t know him’. Mark, do you know why Manager Twain felt that our survey was very meaningless?» Parker, a reporter from laughed loudly and said when he was being interviewed by BBC.But there were also people who were madly in love with him.— When Tony Twain was forced to talk about the survey conducted by during an interview, his reply was : «I am happy, because Nottingham Forest’s fans make up seven percent of England’s population.»And he did not seem to care about how the others saw him.— «What are you all trying to make me say? Admit that I am not popular, and everywhere I go will be filled with jeers and middle fingers. You all think I will be afraid? Wrong! Because I am able to bring victory to my team and its supporters. I don’t care how many people hate me and can’t wait to kill me, and I also won’t change myself to accommodate the mood of these losers. You want to improve your mood? Very simple, come and defeat me.»His love story had garnered widespread attention.— «Our reporters took these pictures at Manager Tony Twain’s doorsteps. It clearly shows that Shania entered his house at 8.34pm and she did not leave the house throughout the night at all. But Manager Tony Twain firmly denies, and insists that that was merely the newest-model inflatable doll which he had ordered.He was the number one star of the team.— «⋯ Became the spokesperson of world-wide famous clothing brands, shot advertisements, frequented the fashion industry’s award ceremonies, endorsed electronic games, has a supermodel girlfriend. His earnings from advertisements exceed his club salary by seventeen times, owns a special column in various print medias, publishing his autobiography (in progress), and is even said that he is planning to shoot an inspirational film based off his own person experiences! Who can tell me which part of his life experiences is worthy of being called ‘inspirational’? Hold on⋯. Are you all thinking that I’m referring to David Beckham? You’re sorely mistaken! I’m talking about Manager Tony Twain⋯.»He was very knowledgeable about Chinese soccer.— «⋯ I’ve heard about it, that Bora gifted four books to his manager Mr. Zhu before your country’s national team’s warm up match. After which, the team lost 1:3 to a nameless American team from Major League Soccer. The new excuse that Mr. Zhu gave for losing the match, was that Bora gifted «books» (‘books’ and ‘lose’ are homophones in the Chinese language). Here, I recommend that you guys find out what that one specific book is. Which book? Of course the one that caused you all to score a goal. After that, tell me the title of the book. Before every match, I will gift ten copies of that same book to you. In that case, won’t you all be able to get a triumphant 10:0 win over your opponents every time?» An excerpt taken from Tony Twain’s special column in a certain famous Chinese sports newspaper.He was loved and hated by the press.— «He has a special column in at least four renowned print media, and he is able to get a considerable amount of remuneration just by scolding people or writing a few hundred words of nonsense weekly. While we have to contemplate hard about our drafts for three days before our boss is pleased with it. In an article inside his special column, he scolded and called all of the media ‘son of a bitch’, announcing that he hated the media the most. But every time he publishes an article, we flock towards him like flies which had spotted butter. Why? Because the readers like to read his news and see him scold people. I dare to bet with you, and Manager Tony Twain knows clearly in his heart as well, that even though he says that he hates us, he knows that the present him cannot do without us. Similarly, we also cannot do without him. Is this ultimately considered a good or a bad thing?» Bruce Pearce, a reporter from said with a face of helplessness when talking about Tony Twain.But no matter the case, his players were his most loyal believers.— Gareth Bale, «No no, we never had any pressure when playing on our home grounds. Because the pressure is all on the manager. As long as we see him standing by the side of the field, all of us will feel that we will be able to win that match. Even the football hooligans are like meek lambs in front of him!» (After saying this, he began to laugh out loudly)The reply from George Wood, the team captain of Nottingham Forest, was the most straightforward. «We follow him because he can bring us victory.»The legendary experience of Tony Twain, the richest, most successful, most controversial manager with the most unique personality!Debuting this summer.Thank you for reading.

Two imposing guards stationed at the entrance saluted as she passed by, stopping before the foot of a raised dais. “My Lady.” She reverently said, bowing deeply to the woman sitting on the throne. Eyes lazily opened and a smirk slowly forming on her tinted lips. “So it's time.” ••••• How does one act when luck granted power unimaginable. To rule? Become rich? Murder? Decisions one makes have consequences. And there’s always a catch.
