Chapter 95: 95

Su-hyeun held Miru’s belly and pulled him down . Miru laughed contently and burped loudly .

“Mi… Miru?”

Purr?

“It’s not food . Be good and spit it out . ”

Purr…

“What? No? Spit it out!”

Su-hyeun tickled Miru’s belly for a while and asked him to spit out the stone . Miru, who was usually amenable, closed his mouth tight and kept shaking his head .

“Phew…”

Su-hyeun could not force him to spit it out . His threats did not work . He started to have a headache . He just sighed out and sat down on the ground .

Purr, purr…

Miru flew to Su-hyeun’s head and patted it with his forepaw . It looked like Miru did not realize Su-hyeun sighed because of him . Su-hyeun felt like his headache getting worse .

“Geez . What should I say to Mr . Dae-ho?” Su-hyeun mumbled .

He got up and sighed deeply . He never sighed this deep in his life . Suddenly, he recalled Miru’s species and the feature of the blue stone .

“Hmm… The stone with natural properties and the dragon…,” Su-hyeun thought .

They were a strangely well-suited combination . Miru was likely greedy for stone not only out of curiosity .

“I guess I have to keep watching him . ”

Su-hyeun put Miru back on his head . He turned his body and started to walk . He decided to think of the blue stone as the gift for Miru for working hard for him .

***

Soon after, Su-hyeun joined the party again . They cleaned up all remaining monsters in the vicinity and found a way out of the dungeon . The cleanup party would’ve started collecting the Ether stone that scattered throughout the dungeon later .

“Looking by the size, I think it will take about a month to finish digging all the stones,” Jordan said .

He stood in front of the exit under the cliff and looked back the way they came from . It was a huge dungeon . He thought about the numbers of the monsters and the size of the dungeon . He could not even imagine how much Ether stone was hidden here . Perhaps the highest-grade Ether stone would come out .

“You can put the Medical Guild’s share on me . ”

As if he had forgotten, Su-hyeun told Jordan about the contract of distribution of Ether stone . Jordan looked aghast when he heard that and started to laugh .

“Ha-ha-ha! You are an outstanding person . ”

“I did not want it first, but I don’t like the fact that they tried to f*ck me around . ”

“Yeah, Robert’s very greedy . ”

Jordan laughed . It looked like he knew Robert, the guild master of the Medical Guild, well . Jordan made people go out from the lower rank awakeners by following the manual . It was for just in case any possible dangerous situations occurred .

“You are probably the one who made the biggest achievement in this attack,” Jordan said .

“Of course,” Su-hyeun replied .

Su-hyeun was the one who had killed the boss of the dungeon, killed the most monsters, and protected the team from Chloe’s betrayal . Su-hyeun nodded without even thinking of humility . Jordan smiled at Su-hyeun’s dignified appearance .

“I will yield my contribution to you, too . ”

“…You will?”

“You don’t have to make such a face . If not for you, I would’ve been dead already . If it’s like my mind, I just want to give you all the contributions of Maximum Guild . However, that is beyond my control,” Jordan shrugged and continued to say, “In fact, I have more than enough money already . ”

Su-hyeun who already had the biggest reward from Druid felt a little sorry for him . But what Jordan said was true . If Su-hyeun was not there, everybody probably all died already . So, it was cheap for the price of one S-Rank awakener’s life .

“I don’t need more money, either,” Su-hyeun said .

“Don’t say that…”

“Would you rather do another favor for me, then?”

“Favor?”

Jordan made a puzzled look at Su-hyeun’s word . What could be a better favor than yielding the Ether stone from the blue-colored dungeon? Soon, Su-hyeun’s mouth opened, and Jordan started to smile .

“That shouldn’t be a request,” Jordan nodded gladly . “I was going to do it anyway . ”

Act 4

The raid of the blue-colored dungeon was over . After the raid, people started to collect Ether stone as scheduled . They graded the contribution according to the video recording, and various media requested for interviews . The world was surprised by the sensational news . The famous S-Rank awakener Chloe and Star Guild were actually pawns of the Dump Guild .

“Now, the Dump Guild got exposed on the surface,” Hak-Joon said while watching the news on the TV .

After the raid of the blue dungeon, Hak-Joon had been sleeping all day long . Upon waking up, the world was abuzz . Hak-Joon was watching one of the Korean news channels that dealt with the terrorist attacks of the Dump Guild in various countries, including Korea and the United States .

“The news about the Dump Guild always existed, secretly,” Su-hyeun said .

“The loudest uproar was because of you, wasn’t it? You told me the Dump Guild was the gnashing of teeth at you . ”

“Well . I did not come out of the Tower . There was nothing they could do . Besides, Korea was not their jurisdiction from the beginning . ”

“But it looks like crazy things went on in Korea as well . Although, the Ripper Guild worked fast and stopped it . ”

The Dump Guild did not just only attack Korean and the United States . China, the United Kingdom, and France were attacked by them as well . They were all famous countries for their awakeners . It looked like the Dump Guild had planned to show their name by this chance .

“It was you, wasn’t it?”

Su-hyeun shook his head at Hak-Joon’s question .

“I gave the information, but it was the Ripper Guild that moved . ”

“Same, same . How did you know anyway?”

“I’ve been keeping an eye on the Dump Guild . Plus, the Ripper Guild helped me . ”

At Su-hyeun’s indecisively answer, Hak-Joon lounged on the sofa and fixed his gaze on the TV screen . Soon, the news about the Dump Guild was over . Hak-Joon turned his eyes to Su-hyeun again .

“Hey, Su-hyeun . Where are you going?”

Su-hyeun was putting on his shoes at the door without a word .

“I’ll be outside for a minute,” Su-hyeun said .

“…What?”

“I will be back soon . ”

Creak!

Su-hyeun opened the door and went out .

“I guess I will only get in the way,” Hak-Joon thought .

Hak-Joon just scratched his head in embarrassment . If Su-hyeun needed him, he probably would’ve taken him, but he didn’t . It meant that Su-hyeun did not need him or he would just get in his way . Thus, Hak-Joon could not ask Su-hyeun to take him along .

“I feel small,” Hak-Joon thought .

During the raid of the blue-colored dungeon, Hak-Joon realized he wasn’t as capable as he thought . He had seen Jordan, Chloe, and Su-hyeun and felt so small compared to those S-Rank awakeners . Of course, there weren’t many chances to meet so many S-Rank awakeners like that . Even so, he could not help but feel even smaller .

“One day, I will take rank with them…”

Hak-Joon clenched his fist tights .

***

“I wonder if he might’ve learned something . ”

Su-hyeun came out from the accommodations that Medical Guild had prepared and kept looking back . At heart, Su-hyeun felt a little sorry for Hak-Joon for leaving him alone . Hak-Joon must have been depressed by now .

“Well, that was what I hoped though . ”

They had gone to the world’s first blue dungeon . It was surely a bigger scale than anywhere else . There were not many known cases of many S-Rank awakeners gathering like this time . Jordan, Chloe, MacRebur, and Su-hyeun were all S-Rank awakeners .

That wasn’t all . The A-Rank awakeners from the Medical, Maximum, and Star Guilds were very talented . They were similar levels with Hak-Joon . It was important for someone to experience the bigger world to test their own limits . Su-hyeun wanted Hak-Joon to experience it . Sometimes, helplessness became a good motivation .

“I will be glad if he learned something from this experience,” Su-hyeun thought .

Tramp, tramp!

Su-hyeun took a taxi on the road .

Ring, ring, ring!

At that time, the phone started to ring . It was an unknown number . He picked up the phone . The caller was an unexpected person .

“Mr . Hyeong-gi . What’s up?”

The caller was Song Hyeong-gi . He was a Korean S-Rank awakener who taught how to raise Miru to Su-hyeun .

“Hi . How is Miru? Is he still cute?”

“…Did you call me to ask that?”

“No, no . I am in the US too . I am with Park Ji-Yeon and I am so annoyed now . We really don’t fit together” .

Su-hyeun could guess why they were together . He remembered Song Hyeong-gi was the original raid member for the green dungeon in Korea .

“It’s an unexpected help,” Su-hyeun thought .

Two unexpected people joined now . They were Jordan and Song Hyeong-gi . Su-hyeun felt safer with them around .

“So, what should we do now? Park Ji-Yeon asked me to ask you . ”

“You know what to do,” Su-hyeun said . Their job was simple . “Break everything up . ”

“That…”

Song Hyeong-gi opened his mouth with a grin .

“…I can do that . ”

Song Hyeong-gi hung up . It looked like he called to hear this . He must have been very pleased by the simplicity of his job .

Screech!

The taxi ran fast and arrived at the destination . Su-hyeun paid the fare and got off the taxi . He arrived at the tallest building in the neighborhood near the beach in California, about 3 stories high . Jordan told him that this building was used by a company that worked with bottled water .

“He said this is the company building…,” Su-hyeun thought .

Tramp, tramp!

Su-hyeun passed the building entrance and walked through the lobby . Su-hyeun was wearing shabby casual clothes and did not bring a bag or anything . Some security guards looked at him strangely before one of them approached Su-hyeun .

“Have you scheduled an appointment in advance?”

Su-hyeun looked back at the security guard . He stared at him for a while and opened his mouth .

“If you are not related… Step back . ”

Whoosh, whoosh!

The Flame skill floated around Su-hyeun, allowing the heat to spread . The security guard was frightened and stepped back .

“A-awakener?”

“He is an awakener!”

When Su-hyeun suddenly activated his skill, the guards freaked out . The whole lobby suddenly became fussy . Su-hyeun quickly looked around when their eyes were focused on him . He felt that somebody was secretly watching him .

“I have come to the right place,” he thought .

He slightly doubted the information he got from Chloe and MacRebur, but it looked like it was true .

“If you are related at least a little bit, don’t even think about running away . I’ll just run after you . ”

“What the hell do you want? Are you a terrorist?” one guard screamed out loud .

It was at that moment that they heard an explosive sound

One flame exploded in the air and gave off sparks .

“The extermination of the Dump Guild . ”

That was why Su-hyeun came to America .

“That is my purpose…”

Boom, boom, boom!

“And this is the start of that . ”

An eye for an eye, a terror for a terror . The war between the Dump Guild and Su-hyeun began .
