Chapter 261

[The Noble Crown Collector lost! The United Kingdom is liberated!]

[Will the fall of the evil god constellations begin?]

[We must rid the Earth of all the evil god constellations! All countries should stop fighting with each other and join forces...]

[Stocks related to the Goddess of Balance Who Walks Ahead have surged. Some claims made by large European clans that they are the household members of the constellation have been proven to be false...]

One constellation had once said:

-There is no kingdom in the Abyss as chaotic and complex as the humans on Earth.

Billions of souls were stuck on one planet with a highly developed civilization and no magic. Earth was difficult to comprehend even for the constellations who had lived in the Abyss for countless years.Ñøv€l--ß1n hosted the premiere release of this chapter.

One thing that constellations struggled to understand was the psychology of human beings.

[The ‘Monk Pursuing Glory’ is persuading you to take advantage of this opportunity to drive out the evil god constellations.]

[The ‘Arrogant Light Elf’ is ordering you to expel all the evil god constellations.]

“But Master, it won’t happen just because I want it.”

“I lead quite a big clan, but on a national scale, I’m not really influential. No matter how much I try to persuade them, the other hunters won’t listen. Truth to be told, most hunters aren’t that passionate about fighting the evil god constellations.”

[...]

[...]

This was one of the things that the good god constellations were most surprised about. It was that the powerful humans on Earth wouldn’t risk their lives to fight the evil god constellations. Of course, it was strictly banned to worship an evil god constellation, and those who did it were arrested.

...But that was it.

Humans were rather passive when it came to fighting for the countries occupied by evil god constellations. Their behavior was incomprehensible to the constellations.

Why were they like that?

It was frustrating to see another country being taken over by the evil god constellations, and instead of getting stronger by doing raids, the hunters were wasting their time with games like the SSL. This phenomenon occurred even after the shocking events that had taken place in London.

“The leader of the United Kingdom has changed??”

“How will the European stock market be affected?”

“It won’t make much of a difference, right?”

“The Goddess of Balance Who Walks Ahead is a good god constellation, which means that things will be better. She won’t make the atmosphere worse. At the very least, she won’t threaten us like the evil god constellations.

The countries occupied by the evil god constellations were as dangerous as those ruled by a crazy dictator. Thus, the disappearance of the collector constellation was definitely good news. The only problem was...

“The United Kingdom belongs to the Six-Winged Angel Who Hunts Dragons! The despicable goddess stepped in and tried to steal it for herself!”

It started with the hunters who had uploaded their outburst of anger on Youtube.

“The good god constellations must return the United Kingdom to the British government! Allow the exiled royal family and government to return to the country!”

There was also the old British government, the lawmakers and their followers, who had long since run away and had aged or died. Those people were also making a fuss.

“Goddess of Balance Who Walks Ahead! We believe in you! Please accept us as your people or your servants!”

“I will be loyal!”

There were even hunters eager to swear an oath of allegiance to the powerful, newly emerged constellation in order to gain strength.

The chaos had only just begun.

“...”

Hwang Gyeongryong’s daughter, Aine Lawrence, got off the private jet with wide eyes. She had never thought she would set foot in London’s airport in her life.

“Ugh. Jet... Jet lag...”

Someone told her, “You don’t look good.”

“Do I look that bad?” wondered Aine.

“Yes.”

“...Bring me something to cover my face.”

The secretaries were surprised by Aine’s words as she normally didn’t really care about her appearance. She was so beautiful that she didn’t have to worry about this, but more than that, it was due to her personality.

Aine was so focused on her work that she didn’t spend much time on trivial things.

“Grandmother... No... The hunter I’m about to meet is a nuisance in that regard.”

“Did you just say grandmother...?”

“Be quiet.”

“Yes.”

The secretaries ceased talking because they didn’t want to upset Aine’s for nothing. Aine checked her appearance in the mirror. The puffiness under her eyes seemed to be somewhat concealed.

‘If I look bad, he’s going to be so concerned that I won’t hear the end of it.’

As the hunters were chatting, Aine arrived and greeted Choi Yeonseung.

“I was really surprised to hear the news. “I didn’t expect this to happen,” said Aine.

“I was surprised as well. What’s wrong with your face? You look like a skeleton.”

“...”

Aine was speechless.

“No... I’m fine...”

“Take a break,” said Choi Yeonseung.

“I don’t need sleep...”

“I’ll give you IV drip therapy, so go and get some sleep. We can talk after that.”

The IV therapy had the effect of putting people to sleep. No matter how much Aine tried to stay awake, she fell asleep as soon as she received the IV drip. Choi Yeonseung felt sad as she watched Aine instantly fall asleep.

“Why is she working so hard?”

“It... It’s not our fault. We’re her subordinates...”

The secretaries hurriedly made excuses out of fear that Choi Yeonseung would chastise them, but he merely shrugged.

“Since she’s your boss, there’s nothing you can do. Sit down. I initially prepared food to serve Aine after she arrived, but now she’s asleep, and it would be a waste to throw it away...”

“Ah. Thank you.”

The secretaries sat down. In fact, they had come a long way, and given that this was England, they hadn’t much of an appetite, but...

One of the household members of the constellation occupied this place. Anyone who refused to listen to this A-grade hunter was crazy.

“...!!!”

“!!!”

***

Aine woke up after sleeping for 48 hours and was dumbfounded to see that the secretaries had gained two or three kilograms.

This thing...

“Ah, Miss Lawrence. You’re awake!”

Aine wondered, “Did you explain it properly while I was sleeping?”

“Uh, that...”

The secretary looked away. The dishes prepared by Choi Yeonseung had reinvigorated the secretaries, who had been immersed in life and work after having left their prestigious universities. Those magical dishes had revived their childhood dreams!

The scenery of London, which they had never experienced before, now had a special charm to it. Therefore, the secretaries felt like they were on vacation.

The secretaries experienced such pleasure after constantly working twenty-five hours a day for Aine that they wondered if this was what life offered.

The humid and foggy weather of London was also dazzling.

-You don’t necessarily need a multimillion dollar salary in life, do you?

-That’s right, friend. I’ve realized that living in the moment is far more important than money.

Aine asked in disbelief, “...Did you all do drugs while I was away?”

Were they crazy...?

“I-I’m sorry.”

“Forget it. Get ready.”

Aine pulled out the materials she had prepared.

[How did the ‘Aiden’ clan establish and rule a republic?]

“What’s with this Aiden clan?”

“It’s a clan that has defeated some monsters in Africa and received a country.”

“How are they doing?”

“It’s a bit complicated. They get cursed at a lot, but the hunters are doing well.”

“I see.”

It didn’t bode well just listening to these words. Choi Yeonseung shook his head.

Did hunters have the ability to rule a country?

-Hmm. Goddess of sloth. Given that you are the most experienced entity, what would you do?

-I would first pick the strongest one and place them in the position of chief or king...

-Forget it. I shouldn’t have asked you.

-Why do you have this attitude when you’re the one that asked me in the first place??
