CH 140

There were many cases in which criminal groups or individuals were reduced to production slaves and imprisoned due to individual greed.

However, the Dark Star’s production slavery case revealed to the world this time was huge enough to be incomparable with other issues.

There were 42 creators in captivity, most of which were rated Epic+ or higher.

Considering about 10 Epic+ producers in Korea, you can guess how significant the event was.

Eight producers were known as Unique, among them 30-year-old Kim Seonghan, a Korean.

On the plane heading to Korea, Kim Seonghan glanced at the people bearing the Aegis Guild mark.

It was the first time I saw Mark, and it was the first time I saw them.

Kim Seonghan was very informative to the extent that it would be difficult to recognize even Japanese or Chinese for people above the unique level, but they were entirely new to them.

It seems that a lot has changed during the three years of imprisonment.

A person named Lloyd sitting next to him, no, a non-human being, revealed that he was a homunculus.

“There is nothing to look at strangely. I am Lewis’ homunculus. That’s why the mana is the same.”

“Ah yes… ….”

Lloyd was sitting in the seat next to him in a spacious plane.

“I saw an article about disappearing while it was supposed to be unique in the Epic+ rating. Are you unique?”

“Yeah…, That’s right.”

Lloyd nodded once.

“At least it sounds unique. What do you plan to do in the future? Why don’t you come to our Aegis guild? You haven’t even been involved in this work in Daehan. Do you not intend to be in Daehan?”

Kim Seonghan was taken aback by the sudden scout offer.

“Yeah? Ah…, it’s me… ….”

Then Lewis came over and said,

“Lloyd, please sit down somewhere else so you can rest.”

“I, I am fine.”

“no. They are not yet educated, so they often make strange noises. Not even a little bit polite… ….”

Lloyd pretended not to know and turned his head towards the window.

“Lloyd, move on.”

“yes~.”

Lloyd got up from his seat and quietly went to the window in the front seat and sat down.

Junwoo said with a frown as if he were in trouble.

“Just follow me.”

“yes~.”

“Then, please rest in peace.”

“thank you… ….”

Junwoo walked to the front and sat down, and Lloyd sat next to him.

“Lloyd, how did you get here?”

“I thought that something happened when I took Kakan and Yoshimura. So, I left.”

“What do you say to Oh Jungsoo?”

“They came out saying the tower was defective.”

“yes… great job. But Lloyd’s Tower? What’s this?”

“It’s a blueprint from inspiration. The system gave it to me.”

“Did you go to the workshop and make it?”

“right. And to tell you, I borrowed about 30 billion gold from Park Junseong. Because I didn’t have enough money.”

“yes…, You did well.”

Junwoo looked at Lloyd and asked while leaning his back on the chair.

“Are you only having two skills?”

Lloyd’s shockwave, which blows away enemies that followed, was a significant help in evading the pursuit.

“Combat skills include shields, shockwaves, and simple energy balls.”

“Can I learn skills with a skill book?”

“No, that is impossible.”

“Yeah, don’t overdo it. You don’t even have to fight.”

“Please stop worrying about me. I have been given much more by the master and the system than you think.”

“It seems like it, but…, but that guy was dangerous… ….”

Butte was the most potent opponent Junwoo had ever met.

If we were to seriously compare our superiority and inferiority, we were confident that we would not be defeated. Still, it seemed that we would not be able to win either.

“Are you talking about demons? It’s not as big as you think.”

“You seem too confident, Lloyd.”

“It’s grounded confidence. If there were three more Lloyd Towers, I would win.”

“yes… the name of the tower is simple and nice.”

“I wonder if the name resembles the owner?”

Junwoo smiled bitterly.

The plane flew quickly toward Korea.

When the plane landed at Gimpo Airport, Junwoo got off the plane along with Leon, Kakan, Murata, and Yoshimura.

And this plane also included Kim Seonghan and one of the creators of the Sega Guild’s Epic+ rating.

As soon as we got off the plane, Choi Sikhyun, the deputy master of Daehan and widely active abroad, approached us.

Choi Sikhyun looked at Junwoo and Kim Seonghan alternately and spoke to Junwoo first.

“It was hard. Wouldn’t you have done something like this for me too?”

Kim Seonghan, a member of Daehan, was missing at the gate in Singapore.

The disappearance at the gate meant most of the death, so Daehan thought Kim Seonghan was dead, and Kim Seonghan was a quiet person internally and externally.

“For security reasons, we had no choice but to do so. Since there is no one involved in Daehan… ….”

“I thought we were getting closer, but it’s a pity. I still struggled. Thanks to that, Seonghan was able to return safely… ….”

Choi Sikhyun approached Kim Seonghan with a sad face.

“You worked hard, Seonghan-ah.”

“Yeah… ….”

“It may sound like an excuse, but we thought you were dead at the gate.”

“If that’s the case, I’ve heard of it.”

“Yeah, it must have been hard to come this far, but let’s go back together.”

Kim Seonghan’s house and workshop were located in Namsan, where Daehan was.

Kim Seonghan nodded his head once and looked at Junwoo, and spoke.

“I will see you later. Thank you so much for this, Lewis.”

“Take a good rest.”

“You’ve worked hard, Junwoo. contact.”

“Yes, come in.”

Choi Sikhyun and Kim Seonghan entered the flying car floating in the air.

It flew off the runway and headed for Namsan Mountain.

It was obvious that there would be a huge crowd when we went to the arrival area, so Junwoo also took out a flying car.

The flying car carrying everyone flew towards the Aegis building.

Hundreds of guild members were gathered in front of an empty lot of the Aegis building.

A large crowd had gathered to take a look outside the building.

The flying car went into the vacant lot and landed, and as Junwoo got off, the 110-level unique Oh Jungsoo approached.

“Are you okay?”

“Yes, of course.”

For some reason, Oh Jungsoo’s expression seemed a little angry.

“Everyone was worried.”

“thank you. Let’s get in.”

“Yeah.”

Junwoo went inside with Oh Jungsoo and other people of unique rank.

Eight people rushed into the master room to see what they would talk about.

Except for the two Chinese who entered the gate, all of the unique levels or higher had gathered in one place, so it was inside the master room as if it had become an executive meeting.

Junwoo sat at the top with a slightly puzzled face.

“Thank you all for your concern.”

Oh Jungsoo, who was seated closest to him, said at once.

“Why didn’t you call us? Do you think we are inferior to Murata, Yoshimura, or Kakan?”

Oh Jungsoo’s eyes seemed to contain some anger.

“Not like that.”

“I understand you are worried about the guild members, but all the people in this place are unique and above. If you need help, you are always there to help.”

At the words of Oh Jungsoo, Lee Minna, who was participating in the meeting, nodded her head.

It was a face that others agreed with.

It was like anger at why they didn’t tell them about this.

“I did not ask you for help, thinking that Japan’s power alone would be sufficient. sorry.”

“We joined the guild after seeing only Master. Master can help with anything you want to do. So, from next time on, please call us whenever you need us.”

“Right.”

Lee Mina agreed with Oh Jungsoo.

“I know what you mean. And thank you for saying this. We look forward to your cooperation from now on.”

Oh Jungsoo was about to say something and let out a shallow sigh.

“I don’t know how you see us, but we want you to know we can help you.”

“thank you.”

Lloyd, who had been standing at a distance, interrupted.

“Unlike the owner, he is exhausted. If you have nothing else to say, why don’t you just stand up?”

Junwoo looked at Lloyd and spoke.

“Lloyd… ….”

Jeongsu Oh nodded and got up from his seat.

“Excuse me today, Master. Please stop resting.”

“Thank you all… “.”

Junwoo got up from his seat and bowed his head as they left.

When they all left, Junwoo looked at Lloyd, who was left alone.

“Why are you interfering, Lloyd?”

“Sometimes they are saying the same thing, and it is also true that the owner is tired. I think it would be better to finish the seat quickly.”

“You might have something else to say, so don’t interrupt me like this next time.”

“Yes, I understand. Then I will go to my workshop.”

“yes… go.”

Lloyd lightly bowed his head and left the master room.

Lloyd left, and Junwoo led his exhausted body to the bed and lay down.

Junwoo, who remembered Butte again, fought with him in his imagination.

A duel where no matter how many times you fight, there is no victory or defeat.

After repeating it several times, Junwoo gave up on imagining and prayed that the level would go up quickly.

Invisible combat sense, experience, skills, etc., would be necessary, but it was not as important as the level at which the stats rose, and skills were created.

The next day, Sakaguchi, Yoroshi, and the guild members of Okhotsogen flocked to Japan.

It was meant to say thank you, but Sakaguchi said goodbye.

“Thank you for that. And I am very sorry to have to leave like this.”

“Thank you, I didn’t do anything for you… …. And thanks to Sr. Sakaguchi, I didn’t have to worry about going anywhere.”

“Thank you for saying that… ….”

“And the bodyguard is no longer necessary. Please protect Mr. Yoroshi as you have always done.”

Sakaguchi blushed slightly and nodded.

Yoroshi helped out.

“thank you so much. If it hadn’t been for Sr. Lewis, how many casualties would there have been, or could we have gotten out of there… ….”

“You have been through a lot. Sr. Yoroshi.”

“If you ever need to make a sword, please find me. We will do our best to make it happen.”

“Thank you, but I am also a producer. I will go to study next time.”

“Ah, come find me anytime.”

Junwoo replied with a smile.

“Thank you so much for coming here to say something that could be said over the phone.”

“In a phone call…, of course, sure it is… ….”

“Thank you. I hope you are at peace in Japan.”

“Yes, Master… …. then… ….”

Sakaguchi and Yoroshi stood up.

After greeting each other, Sakaguchi and Yoroshi left the master room.

And after a while, another person came.

It was Kim Seonghan, a blacksmith with a unique rank who belonged to Daehan.

After a brief greeting, Kim Seonghan brought up the main topic.

“I want to join Aegis.”

“Daehan… …,”

“As far as talking, it’s all over. I would like to work with Sr. Lewis until it becomes a powder. Please accept it.”

Kim Seonghan was a unique-class blacksmith.

Helping the guild members make the sheet metal could ease the burden on Junwoo, so there was no reason to refuse.

“It’s not difficult, but… ….”

“Please!”

“All right. then… ….”

That day, a golden shield, the mark of the Aegis Guild, was engraved on Kim Seonghan’s shoulder.

* * *

Chengjiang Prefecture or near Oh-Ryong’s smashed building. A middle-aged man was moving around the collapsed building with an excited face.

He looked at the corpse and raised his arms or legs.

“I can’t use this. Oh oh! This would be worth taking.”

Behind the man was a large body covered in brown cloth, pulling a cart as large as a bus.

And there were several corpses on the cart.

“Take this.”

Geogu loaded the designated corpse onto the cart.

The man recovered a few more bodies that way, and then a middle-aged man looked down at him from the top of the collapsed building and said:

“Chunming, didn’t I tell you not to take our children?”

Chunming, who was collecting the body, turned his head in surprise when he heard his voice.

“Hey?”

There stood Linqiao, known as the Master of Dark Star.

Linqiao, who showed off his untidy hair, looked like he was in his early 40s, no matter how high he held it, but he was actually 63 years old.

“Am I out? master?”

It was a man who had been missing at the gate for over a year.

He went missing, but no one who knew him thought he would have died.

Linqiao looked around and asked.

“What happened? Did the Venus faction and Zukin cooperate in waging war?”

“no. It’s not…, the Japanese… ….”

Linqiao’s eyes turned to Wu long’s building.

“is it… so what happened?”

“We were being pursued a while ago, but it is said that after hearing the news, they fled to Vietnam and stopped the pursuit.”

Linqiao shook his head and looked toward the cart.

“If a child is engraved with the Dark Star’s mark on that cart, I will die by my hand, Chunming.”

“Hey! I have sinned to death!”

Chunming and the big-goo who followed him flattened.

“You idiot, a fine of 10 billion gold for each of our kids. I can give you much money with the old man’s money.”

“ha… ….”

Chunming let out a deep sigh.
