The Main Characters That Only I Know

Chapter 292:

‘A map.’

The golden light was connected by thin lines, creating a beautiful three-dimensional constellation.

It was already an astonishing sight, but it also maintained the shape of a globe and showed the approximate locations of other golden lights.

It was in the form that Yu-hyun least wanted.

‘Is this the power of the fragment? But it’s a bit strange to call it a miracle.’

Yu-hyun touched the golden globe with his hand.

He pressed the nearest shining point with his finger, and suddenly the light expanded and showed him a rough enlargement of the surrounding geography.

‘It has a zoom function too. It shouldn’t be hard to find the location of the golden light.’

This was more like what Yu-hyun had been desperately hoping for than a miracle.

Yu-hyun hypothesized that this fragment’s power responded to the owner’s strong will.

‘Why did the cult leader get a miraculous power like that? It was because he had to show miracles to solidify his position as a leader and exploit his followers. The same fragment showed me a different ability because of that.’

Yu-hyun wished to find the location of other golden lights rather than a miracle.

That’s why the golden light he stole reacted to that and acted like a navigation that told him where the other golden lights were.

But, looking at it that way, the four devil powers he had were closer to what was already decided than what he wanted.

‘Not all fragments are the same. There are fragments that have fixed abilities and shapes, and there are fragments that change depending on the situation.’

The fragment that Jin Cheong-woon had was much bigger than other fragments. That meant that not all fragments were the same.

Proving that, the lights marked on the golden map had different brightness and sizes.

The bigger ones were more important fragments, and the smaller ones were nothing special.

He couldn’t rank them neatly, but he could at least distinguish their approximate levels.

‘It doesn’t matter whether they are big or small, since I have to collect them all anyway.’

If this fragment’s ability was correct, it was more than useful, it was overflowing.

It showed him where all the fragments that ordinary people could never see were.

‘But I don’t know who owns the fragment, but I guess it doesn’t matter much.’

As long as he knew the location, he could just get their personal information with Sung Yu-chan’s help.

It was a pity that secondary work was involved, but he was satisfied with the fact that he made possible what he couldn’t even imagine before.

“Mr. Yuchan. Please come to my office.”

Yu-hyun immediately called Sung Yu-chan. He had been happier than usual lately because of his relationship.

The blind date between Jukyungseo and Sung Yu-chan led by Baek Seo-ryeon ended in an unexpected success.

He had never seen it himself, but Baek Seo-ryeon told him that Jukyungseo had been interested in Sung Yu-chan from the beginning.

They were each other’s ideal types, so they must have hit it off surprisingly well.

Thanks to that, Sung Yu-chan couldn’t stop smiling.

Rather, his enthusiasm for work increased, and he recently brought him various information without Yu-hyun asking him to.

“Mr. Kang Yu-hyun. Did you call me?”

“Yes. I have some people to look for.”

Yu-hyun said that and handed him a tablet.

There were dots on each map, and there were more than 10 of them.

“What is this?”

“I need to find people in the places where I marked.”

“You don’t know who they are exactly?”

“Yes. But they may have experienced something strange recently or gained a mysterious power. If they hide their identity, maybe not, but if they are people who have gained new powers, they will surely make some noise. You need to find those people. Is it hard?”

“No. If you look at the map, it’s much narrower than towns or villages, so you should be able to find them easily. It’s not even a neighborhood level, it’s an apartment complex level. You narrowed down the range to this extent, so you can’t miss it.”

“Well, I’m not sure if they live there. As soon as the sun sets and night falls, I’ll correct the wrong parts and send them back to you.”

“That’s enough.”

“Okay. Then please work hard.”

Sung Yu-chan bowed his head to Yu-hyun and tried to leave his office.

Just then, something came to Yu-hyun’s mind and he stopped Sung Yu-chan.

“Mr. Yuchan.”

“Yes, Mr. Kang Yu-hyun. Do you have anything else to ask me?”

“No, not that. I’m just curious about something personal. You said you’re dating Ms. Kyungseo, are you okay? Nothing hard?”

“Not at all. I’m happy every day.”

“Then I’m glad.”

He felt relieved to hear him say that.

Yu-hyun sent Sung Yu-chan away and sat quietly in his seat with gloves on his hands.

Now all he had to do was wait.

***

Sung Yu-chan soon brought him the information he needed.

Most of the people who gained power didn’t hide their traces well, so he had no trouble finding them.

Among them, Yu-hyun checked the fragment closest to him first.

‘Hmm?’

Yu-hyun, who checked the list of the presumed owners of the fragment, widened his eyes slightly and soon smiled at the corner of his mouth.

‘No way, he got this.’

Do Gang Jun, the clan leader of Twilight Curtain.

As soon as he saw the three letters of his name, Yu-hyun wondered if this was a joke of fate.

He didn’t pay much attention to him, but this man was suitable for harboring a lot of resentment towards Yu-hyun.

He knew the answer when he thought about who caused the collapse of the Twilight Curtain clan that he created and built.

Recently, the financial situation of the Twilight Curtain clan was not as good as before.

After the second Phantasm Shock, not only the walkers who moved voluntarily, but also too many formidable competitors increased.

Other clans adapted to the change somehow, but Twilight Curtain was the opposite.

Since they lost a lot of power from before and faced the government’s withdrawal, Twilight Curtain was not only behind the times, but also declined to the point where it would be fair to say that they were swept away.

They say that even if a rich man goes bankrupt, he can last for three generations, but what can he do with a clan that is nothing but a shell?

‘They were practically bankrupt because of that.’

Then recently, he spotted Do Gang Jun moving around in the mental realm.

Yu-hyun thought that he was a clan leader, but in the end he chose to fight in the mental realm himself because he was desperate.

‘I guess I overestimated him too much.’

He moved right after he got the golden light.

It wasn’t because he was in a hurry or because he regained his original intention to enter the mental realm and fight.

He wanted to test his new power and use it as a stepping stone to make a comeback.

He seemed to be quiet for now, but it was only a matter of time before he showed his true colors.

‘By the way, he was also a contractor of Agael. I wonder if he still maintains the contract?’

But there was no name of Agael in the recent list of Stories.

No, there was no painting of Do Gang Jun in the list of Stories of Celestial Corporation.

Given Agael’s personality, if Do Gang Jun, her contractor, moved, she would have shown her actions, but she was quiet.

‘Does that mean they broke up?’

Yu-hyun stroked his chin. It seemed quite likely.

He would have to check Do Gang Jun or Agael’s book for details, but he didn’t feel the need to do that.

Anyway, he had to clash with Do Gang Jun inevitably.

‘The first target for recovering the fragment is Do Gang Jun.’

Yu-hyun got up from his seat. He couldn’t shoot Do Gang Jun right away just because he set a target.

He needed a reason to move for sure.

The reason was enough for something trivial. The important thing was that he had to make a motive for him to move and convince the Divine Spirits.

‘To do that…’

First, he had to find Agael.

***

“Sigh.”

Agael sighed quietly in her supervisor’s room where she was locked up.

The second Phantasm Shock happened and the earth changed.

It had been several months already.

If it were her usual self, she would have adjusted various Stories according to the changed world and showed vigorous activities.

But this time it became impossible.

‘Do Gang Jun. This damn human.’

The man she raised betrayed her nicely. She didn’t know what he was up to, but Do Gang Jun became much stronger than before and appealed himself to another teller with that power and got a contract.

As Agael who believed that he would extend the contract as before, it felt like being hit by a surprise attack.

‘Yeah. Anyway, we just made a contract out of necessity. There’s no personal feeling.’

But she didn’t like the news that she was dumped first by a human from Murim World whom she used to look down on.

If they had to break up, throwing away should have been done by this side anyway.

But why did he make a separate contract with Exodus’s teller? It seemed like he was blatantly looking down on this side.

What’s more annoying is that Do Gang Jun hid his power from her.

‘When did he get so strong? I should have known as his contractor. Did he already finish trading with Exodus guys?’

Then the order of the story would be strange.

Wasn’t it that he got a contract based on his strength after becoming stronger?

Then if he became stronger through a contract, what purpose did Exodus guys invest in him for?

As Agael who didn’t know about the fragment, it was a headache.

She couldn’t get an answer by thinking about it, and more importantly, the disappearance of her most cherished contractor was a huge expense.

At this rate, she couldn’t take the opportunity to cut off her retreat and show her Stories as before.

She couldn’t even get the support of the department and use a suitable collector as before.

“Sigh.”

She sighed as she thought about it, and the road ahead was bleak.

She had a lot of points that she had collected so far, but if she went on like this, she would fail to perform the boss’s order and be kicked out.

Then Agael’s subordinate showed up.

“Agael.”

“What is it?”

“A guest has arrived.”

“A guest? Do I look like I’m in a position to see a guest?”

“It’s Manager Kang Yu-hyun.”

At those words, Agael sprang up from her seat.

Her face twisted with rage.

“Who?”

“Manager Kang Yu-hyun…”

“Don’t you dare call that bastard by his honorific in front of me.”

“…”

“Sigh. Fine. What did he come for?”

“He said he wanted to talk to you about Do Gang-joon.”

Agael’s eyebrows twitched.

The fact that he mentioned Do Gang-joon’s name at this timing meant that he knew what was going on in this side.

Agael clenched her teeth, but she didn’t feel the need to refuse.

Do Gang-joon had left her anyway. If she could do anything to that scoundrel, she was willing to meet with Kang Yu-hyun and have a conversation.

She honestly felt that it was all Kang Yu-hyun’s fault that she was in this mess, but she couldn’t take revenge on him since he had risen to an untouchable position.

There were rumors that he was close with Romulaxis from the Celestial Ice Department, and that Celestina, the director, was keeping an eye on him.

More than anything, Agael needed someone to vent her anger on.

It was Do Gang-joon, and she didn’t care if she had to face a tiger as long as she could cut off the neck of the fox who betrayed her.

‘But he didn’t come to help me out of kindness, he came because he had something to gain from this side.’

Then she wasn’t going to let him have it easily.

“Let him in.”

“Yes, ma’am.”

Soon, the adjutant left and a young man took his place.

“It’s been a while. Manager Agael. Or should I just call you Agael now?”

He walked towards her with a sly smile on his face. His name was Kang Yu-hyun.

Agael’s eyes turned fierce for a moment, then returned to normal.

“Congratulations on your promotion, Manager Kang Yu-hyun. I knew you could make it this far!”

“Of course. And I can go even further.”

“Haha. That’s hard to say.”

“Well, we both know that we don’t want to see each other’s smiling faces for too long. We’re not on good terms. You don’t like seeing me, and neither do I. So let’s just get to the point and part ways.”

Agael nodded, agreeing with him.

Kang Yu-hyun looked at her and sneered inwardly.

In her previous life, she was a devil who blew people’s heads off and brought all kinds of trials as soon as the end of the world began.

But what about her now?

She had lost all her supporters, and she couldn’t do anything but watch the upper echelons.

He wanted to make her suffer like Jin-pung did, but that would be too easy for Agael.

For someone who was arrogant and prideful like Agael, the real revenge was to make her continue this miserable life.

“So. The reason I came here is, as I said before, Do Gang-joon.”

“Do Gang-joon? What do you want from me? His personal information? You must know that he left me and went over to your side.”

“That’s why I came here. Even if he left you, you were working together until recently. Oh, can I sit down for a moment?”

Agael nodded reluctantly.

Kang Yu-hyun sat down on a guest chair that fit his size and casually crossed his legs.

“Do Gang-joon collector has been very active lately. I wonder if he took some kind of aphrodisiac.”

“I don’t know anything about that. Maybe the Exodus guys who made a new contract with him know.”

“They must have taken him away.”

“I wouldn’t know.”

She said that, but Agael was half-sure that they did it.

Damn them. I supported them so much.

“Well, then it doesn’t matter to you whether Do Gang-joon dies or not?”

Kang Yu-hyun blurted out those words and Agael flinched.

“…I’d rather he died.”

Do Gang-joon knew too much from working with her.

She had put a gag clause in the contract, but even if he couldn’t speak directly, he couldn’t stop him from expressing it indirectly.

Do Gang-joon was no longer a sore finger for Agael.

He was just a stranger she wished didn’t exist.

“Then this will be easier.”

Kang Yu-hyun clapped his hands and made a proposal to Agael.

“Let me get rid of Do Gang-joon for you.”
