“Our leader rejected your offer but I think differently . It’s attractive enough in my opinion . So how about this? Make a deal with me first . After that, if your ability is verified, you can make a deal with my boss . ”

In his second meeting with Shakira in a restaurant, this was what she suggested .

That they make a personal deal between them .

Then she said .

“Of course, I need to verify your ability first . Can you really control Isaac Ivanov?”

She wanted to see if Kim Woo-jin was bluffing, or if he could really decide Isaac Ivanov’s next move .

“Target this dungeon . ”

Along with those words, Shakira placed a document envelope on the table,

Kim Woo-jin picked it up while saying .

“Isaac Ivanov doesn’t move without payment . ”

“The payment is the same . Skeleton Magician Mastery . Instead, it’s the location that changed . Instead of the Unicorn’s horn, I need you to get something else . ”

“What about my pay?”

“We don’t doubt Isaac Ivanov’s abilities . All we doubt are your claims, and you still want to get paid?”

While she was saying that, Kim Woo-jin opened the envelope, pulled out the document inside, and began to peruse its contents .

The conversation paused for a moment, then Kim Woo-jin looked up and said .

“It’s D- rank . ”

The document inside was a dungeon report .

“And it’s 5 Floors . ”

The report for a D- rank 5 Floor dungeon .

“With the results that Isaac Ivanov has shown to the world, this much shouldn’t be a problem, right?”

Shakira said those words with a smile .

It was a vicious smile .

For players active in 4 Floor dungeons, challenging a 5 Floor dungeon was like a hiker who had only climbed 2,000 meter high mountains changing to a 4,000 meter high mountain .

In other words, it wasn’t something that could be done easily .

“And it’s the perfect stage to see how well you can control Isaac Ivanov . If Isaac Ivanov makes his debut in 5 Floor dungeons when you say so there would be no reason for us to doubt you, no?”

On the other hand, it was a proposal that was sufficiently possible .

After all, Kim Woo-jin had said it .

Isaac Ivanov would challenge any dungeon they wanted .

If that was true, then wouldn’t it be possible for him to do something like this?

In response to her words, Kim Woo-jin simply placed the document back in the envelope and handed it back to her .

“Is this a rejection?”

Kim Woo-jin answered .

“I have no desire to do your little test without pay . ”

“So it is a rejection . ”

With those words, Shakira collected the envelope .

“I heard rumors that Thunderbird has an A+ rank 5 Floor dungeon that appeared in the Amazon Rainforest . ”

Then, Kim Woo-jin said something else .

Shakira’s eyes shook .

“I also heard that you’re forming a team to attack that dungeon . ”

“There are all sorts of rumors about the Amazon Rainforest . You shouldn’t believe everything you hear . ”

Shakira fixed her expression and denied Kim Woo-jin’s words .

However, without paying attention to what she was saying, Kim Woo-jin continued speaking .

“I will get Isaac Ivanov to attack that dungeon . Of course, this is a deal, not a test . So please prepare the suitable payment for Isaac Ivanov, and for me . ”

Shakira’s expression hardened considerably .

Then she spoke in a cold voice .

“You want to target an A+ rank dungeon when you don’t even have experience in 5 Floor dungeons? Did I hear you correctly?”

“There’s nothing that can’t be done if the price is right . ”

As he was saying this, Kim Woo-jin was thinking about a dungeon .

‘I’m sure you guys have the Burning Forest . ’

Burning Forest .

There was one reason why Kim Woo-jin remembered this A+ rank 5 Floor dungeon .

‘And the fourth tail is in that dungeon . ’

And that was because the Fourth Tail of the Nine Tailed Fox was in that dungeon .

Of course, Kim Woo-jin didn’t bring up the Burning Forest dungeon just to obtain the tail .

‘Let’s stop the act . ’

This was not something that Shakira could handle with just her authority .

It was something that absolutely required the permission of none other than the Lighting King himself .

If Shakira had come of her own volition like she’d said, then she would have gotten up and left without hesitation .

But now, she was only glaring at Kim Woo-jin without moving from her seat .

‘Bring out the Lightning King . ’

This was proof that she didn’t come on her own .

A man approached Kim Woo-jin from behind .

He placed his hands on Kim Woo-jin’s shoulders and said .

“You really are a funny guy . ”

Then he pat Kim Woo-jin a few times on the shoulders before moving to sit on an empty chair at the table .

It was a blond man with an extremely pale face .

His appearance didn’t quite suit the weather in the Amazon Rainforest .

‘Lightning King . ’

He was the first Spiritualist to contract a Spirit of Lightning, and after numerous achievements, obtained the nickname ‘Lightning King’ .

Of course, Kim Woo-jin paid no attention to his appearance .

He had quite painfully learned, the moment he had been betrayed by Lee Se-jun, that what he saw wasn’t always the truth .

“So, if the price is right, you’ll attack an A+ rank 5 Floor dungeon? I know Isaac Ivanov’s level is around 130 which is certainly high enough but… that’s a lot of confidence . Well, I also did a lot of crazy things at that level . ”

Then the Lightning King asked .

“Then what’s the price?”

To that question, Kim Woo-jin gave the answer he prepared .

“First of all, I’d need to hear what you have to offer . Isaac Ivanov won’t make a move simply because of an expensive item . Instead, it has to be an item that would be useful for him . He’d be willing to move even if it’s a rare item . ” (TL: rare in terms of the rank)

The Lightning King shook his head when he heard those words .

“That’s a question Isaac Ivanov should answer, not you . ”

Kim Woo-jin’s eyes narrowed at those words .

The Lightning King lifted his finger before saying,

“What I want to know is your price . ”

Then he twirled his finger around before pointing it towards Kim Woo-jin .

Then, a waiter, who had been waiting at the side, approached the table quietly and placed a covered plate in front of Kim Woo-jin .

“After calculating, I found that it would be much more convenient to recruit you rather than pay for each separate request . ”

In the meantime, while the Lightning King continued speaking, Kim Woo-jin only gave him half an ear as he lifted the cover from the plate .

Then, he saw a skill page made completely of obsidian sitting on the white plate .

[Vampire]

– Condition: Emissary of the Underworld

– Rank: Legendary

– Effect: You can transform into a vampire while using this skill

Vampire .

The Lightning King smiled and spoke to Kim Woo-jin who was still looking at the skill page .

“I want to trade for you with this . ”

It was the moment when the Lightning King had proposed a trade .

…

Unlike the quiet, boring days in Fortaleza, the nights in this port city were quite passionate .

Firstly, the sounds were different .

Tatang!

Argh!

As if they wouldn’t allow for silence to fall, the sounds of gunshots echoed without end, and whenever the gunshot went off, they would be followed by a scream .

Boom!

Crash!

Sometimes, there would even be the sounds of explosions or of cars crashing .

It was almost impossible to sleep in a night filled with these sounds .

However, the cacophony wasn’t the reason Lee Jin-ah couldn’t sleep .

“You’re really amazing, huh?”

The reason was the story Kim Woo-jin had told him about what happened in the restaurant in Fortaleza earlier that day .

After all, Kim Woo-jin’s story was very shocking .

This wasn’t just for Lee Jin-ah .

“Some people have to sign slave contracts just to get one skill, but some people are able to get them on a plate with a few words . ”

Not just Lee Jin-ah, anyone would be shocked to learn of how easily Kim Woo-jin was offered a legendary skill .

Getting legendary skills was not common .

For players, it would be a heart pounding moment, and something that would stir many waves in the player world .

However, Kim Woo-jin’s expression wasn’t that of someone who had just received great fortune .

Instead, he had a pensive expression .

Lee Jin-ah, who saw his expression, clicked his tongue .

“Well, since you betrayed Park Yong-wan, you’ll certainly have to pay the price now . ”

This was because Kim Woo-jin had accepted the Lightning King’s offer, as well as the skill page .

“If Park Yong-wan found out about it, he would definitely cause a ruckus . ”

That meant that he had betrayed Park Yong-wan .

“Ah, not that I’d tell Park Yong-wan about it . Absolutely . Lee Jin-ah is a man who would never sell out his friends . Of course, a guy who scams me out of my money is definitely not my friend . For example, if I had to buy a meal, a friend would never decide to get something expensive like caviar . ”

If Park Yong-wan found out about this, there was no guarantee that he would leave Kim Woo-jin alone .

“In any case, you’d be in trouble . Park Yong-wan wouldn’t rest until he sees your corpse with his own eyes . ”

It was almost certain that he would take action against him .

Kim Woo-jin also knew this fact .

“It’s not difficult . ”

“Huh?”

And he had prepared countermeasures for that as well .

“We can tell Park Yong-wan about this deal . ”

“What?”

Kim Woo-jin intended to tell Park Yong-wan about what had happened that day and that he had accepted the deal .

“What do you mean?”

“My relationship with Park Yong-wan currently is similar to that of a large company and a subcontractor . It’s based on profit, not loyalty . As long as I can guarantee Park Yong-wan’s interests, he won’t cut off our deal . ”

If he told Park Yong-wan about it, he would certainly understand .

“Well, he’d definitely try to get rid of me someday . ”

Of course, although he understood, that didn’t mean he would leave Kim Woo-jin alone .

As Kim Woo-jin had said, Park Yong-wan would one day try to deal with him .

But Kim Woo-jin didn’t pay too much attention to it .

‘It doesn’t matter . ’

Betrayal only hurts when it is done by someone you trust, not by someone you don’t .

In other words, Park Yong-wan wasn’t the reason why Kim Woo-jin was pensive at that moment .

‘The Lightning King is a very suspicious man . ’

The reason was the Lightning King .

As far as Kim Woo-jin knew, he wasn’t someone who offered trades easily .

This could be seen just by the way the Lightning King had hidden his intentions while dealing with Kim Woo-jin this time .

During the satellite call, he had said he wasn’t interested, then he sent Shakira in his stead .

This was what Kim Woo-jin had expected .

However, the Lightning King had then appeared in person and made an unconventional offer to Kim Woo-jin .

It was possible .

‘There has to be a reason . ’

But he wouldn’t have done it without a reason .

If so, what was the reason?

That was what Kim Woo-jin was currently pondering with a solemn expression .

However, no matter how much he pondered, he could not think of a reason .

‘What the hell is it?’

Woowoong!

Suddenly, one of his phones began vibrating .

“Is it brother Se-chan?”

It was a call from Oh Se-chan .

Kim Woo-jin picked up the cellphone, and Lee Jin-ah walked over to him when he saw that .

“I don’t like the rice here, ask Se-chan to send some kimchi . If you tell him ‘Isaac Ivanov’s gift’, he’ll send it without a peep . Make sure it’s mature kimchi . Let’s make Kimchi Jjigae . ”

Ignoring him, Kim Woo-jin pressed the call button and put the phone to his ear .

Then he heard Oh Se-chan’s voice .

-Breaking news . There’s been a terrorist attack in Paris .
