Chapter 64: Serving as Reinforcements (1)

"I'll formally greet you . I am Jang Seo-yeon . ”

She was dressed in a suit compared to the casual training clothes she wore during the day . If she looked like an attractive female trainer during the day, now she was a competent career woman .

But how did she find this place? It wasn’t just Jang Seo-yeon, but the guests inside as well .

Of course, the information about sovereigns was exposed so people could find it if they wanted to .

Still, it was surprising that she found him so quickly .

"Are you going to keep me standing outside?”

"Come inside . ”

"Thank you . "

Jang Seo-yeon smiled . On the other hand, the people sitting on the living room sofa also got up and greeted Kang-jun .

A man in his early 30s spoke first .

"I’m sorry that I came here so rudely . I'm Kim Dong-hyun . I run a small company in Seocho-dong . ”

The next man in his early 40s said .

“Greetings . I am Jung Sung-wook . I own a building in Daechi-dong . ”

This time, a stylish woman in her mid 40s spoke .

"Please forgive my rudeness . I am Jang Yoo-kyung . I own a restaurant in Cheongdam-dong . ”

The final person was a woman in her early 20s .

"I'm sorry for coming so late . I am Choi Hyun-joo . I am enrolled in the psychology department at S University and have a building in Nonhyun-dong . ”

They introduced who they were without Kang-jun even asking . Everyone had a very courteous attitude .

"I am Lee Kang-jun . Please sit down . What is your purpose for visiting me tonight?”

Then Jang Seo-yeon said .

"I am sure they came for the same purpose as me . ”

"The same purpose as you?”

"The identity of Jung Sung-wook sitting there . I know it very well . He is the owner of the 60 billion won Daedo building in Daechi-dong . But it is even more surprising that he is a sovereign . ”

Jung Sung-wook looked at Jang Seo-yeon nervously .

“I also know that Jang Seo-yeon is the owner of the Ohyun building in Daechi-dong . The only child of Gangnam’s big spender, Oh Jae-sa . You are also a sovereign . I just don’t know what sovereign . ”

Gangnam’s big spender Oh Jae-sa? The one that was said to hold billions of dollars in real estate? Then how many buildings would she have?

She was so famous that even Kang-jun had heard of her . However, Jang Seo-yeon was Oh Jae-sa’s daughter .

Just like the case of Kang-jun and Yoo Seung-hwan, Jang Seo-yeon and Jung Sung-wook seemed to be close competitors . Jang Seo-yeon nodded and said .

“I’m Sovereign Avia . ”

Jung Sung-wook’s eyes widened with surprise . He hadn’t expected that Jang Seo-yeon would be Sovereign Avia who was one of the members of the 439th Army .

“I am Caper . ”

"Rosina . "

"I am Brio . ”

"Haniel . ”

Jung Sung-wook was Caper, Jang Yoo-kyung was Rosina, Kim Dong-hyun was Brio and Choi Hyun-joo was Haniel .

Jang Seo-yeon nodded .

"Nice to meet you . Anyway, the purpose of your visit is to form an alliance with Lucan . ”

"That's right . "

Jung Sung-wook scratched his head and gazed at Kang-jun . Kang-jun’s expression was serene .

It wasn’t unexpected information . After guessing that they were sovereigns, Kang-jun already knew the reason for their visit .

At that time, Kim Dong-hyun glanced at Kang-jun and said .

“I’ll speak bluntly . Lucan, we want an alliance with you . We will co-exist and not show hostility towards each other . ”

"Do you think an alliance will be meaningful?”

"Before the red moon appeared, an alliance between sovereigns was really meaningless . It is because we don’t know when we will be stabbed in the back . But now it is different . Sooner or later, everyone will be out in the open . We won’t be able to hide anymore . ”

"But that doesn't change anything . We can’t trust each other even if we are out in the open . ”

"Of course . Honestly, it is too much to hope for a relationship of trust . If it is possible, I would like to maintain a relationship of give or take . ”

"Give or take?"

Kang-jun asked and this time Choi Hyun-joo replied .

"Lucan, no matter how strong you are, Earth has many sovereigns . Many of them are starting to get together . This is due to the red moon . The era of moving alone is gone . ”

"How do you know that?”

"Sovereigns are humans . And human psychology is similar . The behaviour of the 40 sovereigns in our army can be seen as a miniature of all of Earth’s sovereigns . ”

Jang Yoo-kyung continued .

"Hardis has already created an alliance hostile towards Lucan . ”

Jung Sung-wook’s eyes flashed as he spoke .

"Alone they are weak, but they become stronger when joined together . Humans form a group to deal with wild beasts . No matter how strong you are, there are limits to surviving on your own . ”

Kim Dong-hyun said with an intense gaze .

"In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, a fief couldn’t deal with an army of one million troops alone . We can give you strength . The strength to go against one million troops . ”

"Strength?”

Jang Yoo-kyung replied with an odd smile .

"It isn’t just funding . Information is power . ”

"Information?"

"I know that recently Lucan met with Hardis . In addition, 12 sovereigns including Hardis and Zenith met today to form an alliance against you . The meeting place was the Jade Incense Restaurant in Cheondam-dong . ”

Kang-jun was surprised . How did she knew that he met with Yoo Seung-hwan as well as other sovereigns?

"Are you wondering how I know? In fact, I am the owner of the restaurant . ”

The owner of the fine dining Jade Incense Restaurant was Jang Yoo-kyung?

If so, that made sense .

While concentrating on beating him, they allowed others to jump over them .

Hardis and the others wouldn’t be aware that their secret meeting had been discovered .

Kang-jun nodded .

"I roughly understand . By the way, I am curious about why you chose me . Why didn’t you go to Hardis?”

At this time, Jang Seo-yeon replied .

“While you were dealing with the ghoul lord, the other sovereigns were waiting in front of the resurrection gem . At that time, Hardis offered me an alliance . He also informed me that you are the owner of the Yugang building . It is probably the same for the other sovereigns . ”

Something like that had happened . As a matter of fact, he expected Hardis to do something like that . He had no confidence so he proposed an alliance .

"Why did you reject him and come to see me?”

"There are those who go together and those who don’t . Hardis is someone who doesn’t fit with me . I honestly dislike Hardis more than I do you . ”

She continued .

"I hate that you are so strong . It is because of jealousy . But Hardis is sly . ”

Kim Dong-hyun also agreed .

"I think the same . I hate people like Hardis . ”

Kang-jun asked Jang Seo-yeon .

"But didn’t you seem hostile towards me when I met you earlier in the day?”

"To be honest, I was worried at the time . I didn’t want to make an alliance that wasn’t centred around me . However, my thoughts shifted after watching you in the battle field . ”

Kang-jun nodded .

He roughly understood why they came to find him .

They didn’t want to become enemies with Kang-jun . Furthermore, they wanted to establish an alliance of co-existence!

The night was deepening . Now he had to come to a conclusion .

It was true that he needed allies .

It wasn’t even to protect himself if people started aiming at him from every direction .

However, he couldn’t trust them .

They wouldn’t have reached out to Kang-jun if he wasn’t strong .

In reality, all of them had a foundation that Kang-jun couldn’t compare to . Among them, Jang Seo-yeon was one of the biggest gold spoons that Kang-jun had ever met .

But even she bowed before Kang-jun’s strong attack power .

She didn’t want to be his enemy . Joining an alliance!

When looking at it, there would definitely be a reward .

Kang-jun was silent for a while before saying .

“Okay . In the future, we are allies . It isn’t a complete alliance, but we won’t become hostile to each other . I will watch over you in the future . ”

He had to take care of them if he wanted it to develop into a full alliance . Jang Yoo-kyung was satisfied just hearing that Kang-jun wouldn’t become hostile towards them .

"It is a wise decision . "

"Thank you very much, hahaha . Let’s survive together until the end . ”

They seemed confident that there would be a full alliance with Kang-jun in the future . Jang Seo-yeon smiled .

“Thanks to you, I can now sleep comfortably . Recently, I haven’t been able to sleep after remembering you killing me . ”

Kim Dong-hyun also agreed .

“That’s right . I really don’t want to be your enemy . ”

The others all looked the same . Kang-jun nodded .

"If you aren’t hostile towards me then I won’t strike first . Then if you don’t have anything else to say, let’s end this here for today . ”

And Choi Hyun-joo said .

"I have something else to say . Hardis and his group made a plan today to isolate Lucan . For example, they are buying the nearby buildings . ”

It was a simple but powerful method .

Once the red moon was over, a considerable offensive would pour out from the buildings surrounding him .

Choi Hyun-Joo kept talking .

"If they launch a massive offensive then we also need to prepare the same . I can buy one or two of the smaller buildings . ”

"Then I'll join you . "

"Me too . ”

"Haha, if that is the course you’ve decided on then I will also join . ”

Everyone was burning with a will to confront the enemy . They had enough money anyway .

Kang-jun just smiled .

"It is up to you . But if I receive help then I will return the favour . ”

Then he said .

"It is late . If you want to sleep here then I am happy to offer an empty room . ”

There were enough rooms for five people . However, he didn’t really think they would sleep here .

As expected, everyone got up .

"I have many things to do, Lucan . "

"I will see you in Hwanmong, Lucan . ”

They gave him their contract details and left .

Kang-jun immediately fell asleep .

The next day, Kang-jun watched the real-time reports and hunted evil spirits . He chased them all day and was able to get rid of dozens of them .

Thanks to that, he levelled up and reached Lv27 .

Of course, the other sovereigns also played a role . Therefore, the evil spirits were swept away at a rapid rate .

As a result, various SNS talked about the mysterious exorcists, and people preferred that the exorcists arrived rather than the police . Thanks to that, Kang-jun wasn’t alone in the spotlight .

However, he didn’t know that one of the hottest stories on SNS was about the silver-haired exorcist . There were photos of Kang-jun driving a Venta S class so his popularity rose to that of a celebrity .

Anyway, today was the day to go to Hwanmong .

Kang-jun fell asleep while listening to Hayun’s lullaby .

[The door to Hwanmong is open . ]

[You have entered the world of Hwanmong . ]

This time, he received a command scroll immediately . Kang-jun arrived at the army headquarters through the portal .

‘Today it is headquarters instead of the battlefield . ’

As he entered, Command Heksia sat firmly on the throne and some sovereigns were already waiting .

"Welcome, Lucan . Wait until everyone else has arrived . ”

“Yes . ”

Kang-jun replied to Heksia and went to his designated spot . After a while, all the sovereigns arrived .

Heksia got up and declared .

"Everyone will be going to the training room . As I said last time, I will give you a chance to prove how strong you are . ”

After her speech was over, the surroundings changed .
