Chapter 188 . A blessing in disguise (pt . 2)
-Son!
“Yes?”
-I’m proud of you .
“ . . . ”
-Thank you, son . I knew that my son was amazing, but… I didn’t think you would really grow up to be someone like this .
“Not at all, mother . ”
Park Sun-ja couldn’t get used to Kang Chul-In’s almost emotionless voice .
-Don’t worry about your mother . I can’t be an obstacle in your way to becoming a great person, can I?
“ . . . ”
-Anyway, I’ll go now . It’s almost time to give Arshelly a snack .
Tuk!
The call ended .
That’s not true, mother .
Kang Chul-In didn’t agree with what Park Sun-ja had said .
Even though it was good doing these things, family was first .
Before he went to the past Kang Chul-In was a cold-blooded man who only knew to wage war, crazy in his ambition to conquer Pangaea . But now, he was different; he knew the warmth of family better than anyone .
I’ll treat you better, mother .
Vowing that to himself, Kang Chul-In put his phone back into his pocket .
“Kuku!!”
Old Man Kwon laughed .
“Even though those damned bastards almost made a disaster out of things, it seems like it was a blessing in disguise!”
“Is that so?”
“I mean, the image of our company has become amazing, and the deal that we made with the government has also become successful . Oh, and that thing… what was it called? Black dragon?”
“The bone dragon . ”
“Yeah, the bone dragon! We even got the corpse of that damned beast too . ”
That wasn’t it for Kang Chul-In, though .
Kang Chul-In had gone up by 3 levels in Pangaea World, and another 3 levels after killing the bone dragon .
“Anyway, Kwak-Jung . Make sure you prepare for a press conference . The time… maybe in 3 hours . ”
“Huh?”
“I have something to say . ”
“Huk…!”
Kwak-Jung was astonished, never knowing that the day would come where Kang Chul-in himself volunteered to go on TV .
“I won’t take in any questions from anyone, it’ll just be me speaking . Understand?”
“Hmm… Yes, milord . ”
“Oh, and tell me when those idiots come back . ”
“Yes . ”
Ironically enough, this case could only be truly ‘concluded’ when Dorian and his party came back from the dungeon at Sejong University .
----------
Ka-chik!
Ka-chik! Ka-chik! Ka-chik!
Hundreds of cameras took pictures of Kang Chul-in .
But he wasn’t fazed .
He just stood there .
And,
“Listen well . ”
Kang Chul-in opened his mouth .
“I will consider this as a terror attempt to my country South Korea, and a blatant provocation to me, Kang Chul-in . ”
These words were aimed towards Alex Rothschild and Albrecht Vilhelm who were the people behind this, and was a warning towards them .
“If you want to, you can try . From now on, I will consider you guys as enemies, and make sure that you pay the price . Whether it's in Pangaea, or on Earth . No matter what measures I need to take, I will take my revenge, and make sure that it’ll be hundreds, thousands of times worse than what you did to me . ”
It was a declaration of war .
Using the mass media, Kang Chul-in had just declared war on Alex Rothschild and Albrecht Vilhelm, knowing that doing this would definitely reach their ears .
“Be prepared . ”
Saying that, Kang Chul-in left the press conference .
“D-Director Kang! Wait a minute!”
“W-What do you mean by that statement!?”
“How are you planning to take revenge…”
“Do you know the force that was behind this?”
Still, Kang Chul-in didn’t stop walking .
This was a declaration of war towards Alex Rothschild and Albrecht Vilhelm, not some sort of meeting to satisfy the curiosity of the reporters .
---------
Kang Chul-in’s press conference shook the world .
[News] Director Kang Chul-in, calls out the force behind the terror attempt!
[News] Director Kang, angered by the terror attempt… Provokes the force behind…
[News] Galaxy Corporation “will ally with the korean army, and make sure to take revenge” .
News spread throughout the world and the citizens of South Korea supported Kang Chul-in’s attempt at revenge .
It made sense .
What had happened was a terror attempt on the capital of South Korea, Seoul . The Koreans right now felt like the citizens of the U . S after the 9/11 terror attack .
5 days passed .
“What the hell are these guys doing?”
Inside an office of the Galaxy Corporation, Kang Chul-In muttered .
“I-I don’t know, sir . ”
Kwak-Jung said, cold sweat pouring down his back .
“If they don’t come back soon, I’ll go myself . ”
“Maybe we should wait a little while…”
“Do you think it makes sense that those guys are taking this long?”
“ . . . That’s true . ”
All the teams that had entered dungeons had come back, with Group H as the exception .
It was strange .
Group H was the most elite group, led by the Overlord Dorian Explorer . Even though they acted like idiots, they were actually the strongest group there was .
Another day passed .
And Group H still didn’t return .
“Will this be alright?”
Lee Chae-rin said, next to Kang Chul-In .
“Hmm… I don’t know, but we’ll have to see anyway . ”
“Is that so?”
“Even though they’re stupid… they’re also the best there is . ”
From the past, Kang Chul-In knew better than anyone the true strength and skill of Team Browser, made of Dorian Explorer, David Chrome, Sean Firefox, and John Safari .
Vroooom!
Saying that, Kang Chul-In’s foot hit the accelerator of his Jaguar F type coupe .
-----------
Kang Chul-In, after entering the dungeon gate in Sejong University with Lee Chae-rin to look for Dorian and his party,
“ . . . I don’t know what’s happening . ”
Couldn’t restrain himself from muttering in astonishment .
[A quest has occurred!]
A quest notification popped up .
[Epic/ Ancient Dungeon] Hall of the Lightning God
Aim: Kill the boss monster, Lightning God Indra
Reward: + 3 Levels / 10,000 Gold / ‘Scroll of limit breaking’
Difficulty: Extremely Difficult (Recommended level 70~75)
Entry Limit: 7/15
-Warning: Lightning God Indra is an extremely powerful humanoid monster!
-Warning: The ‘Scroll of limit breaking’ will automatically be handed to the one that last hits ‘Lightning God Indra’ .
“ . . . ”
Kang Chul-In was so astonished he went speechless .
“M-Mr . Chul-In? What is it?”
Lee Chae-rin tilted her head in confusion .
“It had to be here…”
“Sorry?”
“It’s nothing . ”
Kang Chul-In shook his head .
As if it really is nothing… to think that this dungeon was the ‘Hall of the Lightning God’ . . .
It wasn’t a small deal like he had said .
The important thing was that Kang Chul-In knew this dungeon extremely well .
The Hall of the Lightning God .
And Lightning God Indra .
This was a boss monster that Kang Chul-In had faced in his previous life .
And the truth behind the ‘scroll of limit breaking’ that was given as a reward was that it contained Kang Chul-In’s special and unique move, Overdrive .
Hmph-!
Kang Chul-In involuntarily laughed .
He was thinking of a way of getting rid of this scroll so that no one could use it anyway, but he had forgotten about it due to his extremely busy schedule .
Now that he had literally been given a free pass to the dungeon he had been searching for, he laughed at Alex Rothschild and Albrecht Vilhelm .
“Mr . Chul-In . ”
While Kang Chul-In was laughing at Alex Rothschild and Albrecht Vilhelm for their stupidity, Lee Chae-rin’s expression turned weird .
“This is strange . ”
“What is it?”
“You can see the quest message, right?”
“I can, why?”
“ . . . !”
“The number of people that have entered…
“Me and Mr . Chul-In, that’s two people . And there are 4 people in Team Browser . Then shouldn’t there only be 6 people in total?”
“You’re right . ”
“But for some reason, there are 7 people that are inside this dungeon apparently . ”
At Lee Chae-rin’s words, Kang Chul-In’s eyes also headed towards the notification .
7/15
Lee Chae-rin was right .
“Good job . It really surprises me how much you’ve grown in just a year . ”
“ . . . !”
“Good thing I saved your life . ”
“Hehe… It’s all thanks to Mr . Chul-In . ”
“It’s not because of me, but rather that you’ve grown as a Lord . I hope you’ll keep the good work up . ”
Saying that, a smile was on Kang Chul-In’s face . He felt like a father watching his child grow up, becoming a good Lord .
“Still, I understand why it took so long here . This is an extremely difficult dungeon . ”
Kang Chul-In started heading towards the inner part of the dungeon .
I wonder… who that other person is .
At that moment .
