54 Surprise Attack
Minhyuk listened as closely and as quietly as he could to his father’s story.
“Are you alright, Chairman-nim?”
“I’m fine. I just don’t know what to do about it. Hohoho!”
He could hear his father’s laughter through the door but he could still sense the bitterness hidden underneath it.
“It’s a relief that I had acquired the ice fragment from Callame’s Island. And I was also able to keep it safe.”
‘Callame’s Island?’
Minhyuk chewed over the words Callame’s Island.
Callame’s Island was an island that was surrounded by hellish coldness that other users dare not even challenge it. Most of the users who had tried to challenge the island had been frozen to their deaths. What was worse was that there were difficult trials that awaited the users in their path. There was even one user who said this about the island......
‘It’s already crazy even if it’s just a little bit colder than the real world but you can even die of frostbite there. Do you know how terrible it is?’
The thought of freezing to death even if it was just in the game was too scary.
But my dad went to Callame’s Island?
‘He’s probably at a much higher level than what I initially thought?’
Kang Minhoo and Park Munsoo’s conversation continued on.
“But it’s still a relief. I started the game when that brat started playing the game too but now I can finally feed him this delicious ‘Neolbing’.”
“Chairman-nim......”
Park Munsoo’s voice trailed off but Minhyuk’s eyes sank and turned cold. He could tell that when he started this treatment his father also started playing the game and he worked hard to become strong all by himself. And he worked hard only for one goal...... and that was to feed him delicious and good food.
Minhyuk’s fists clenched tightly.
Bachran Guild.
Javin and Buckle, the people who had entered Ructo’s tomb with him before, were also from Bachran Guild. In addition, while they were riding on Penrus before, Kaistra had told him that the Bachran Guild were preparing an ambush and were targeting his millstone.
Minhyuk quickly searched for Bachran Guild’s information. The guild was a notorious rude-mannered guild. However, large guilds did not touch them unless they had conflicts with them.
Are they afraid of shit? Is it because they’re dirty so they try to avoid them?
He turned around and walked back to his room as he accessed the game via the capsule. Meanwhile, Park Munsoo just sighed ruefully as he watched Kang Minhoo laugh happily thinking about the good side of things.
“Well, it seems like our young friends could really be like that huh? Hoho! Ah, I need to get some rest. I feel so tired because I played games without sleeping. Wait, please don’t forget to clean my desk.”
Kang Minhoo opened the door and went out of the office. Park Munsoo bowed silently but as soon as Minhoo stepped out of the office, the expression on his face had suddenly turned rigid. He slowly took off his horn-rimmed glasses and hung them on his top left pocket.
‘How dare......! How dare......! How dare you lay your hands on Chairman-nim! I will never let those bastards go!’
This was the first time that Park Munsoo had felt this much anger in his life. Of course, what happened was only inside virtual reality. However, he still couldn’t stand the thought of people stabbing the Chairman’s body as they laughed horrendously at him.
It took him quite some time to stifle his boiling anger as he stepped forward to clear Minhoo’s desk. He found a fountain pen inserted in one of the Chairman’s notebooks so he pulled the pen out to tidy the rest up.
‘Hmm?’
Park Munsoo opened the notebook to remove the pen, but when he saw the contents of the notebook his pupils widened and shook wildly.
“......!”
[Hoo...... I still feel bitter that I got PKed. It would really be great if there are people who helped me at times like these. Ah...... I think I heard that Kim Taesik of Ilhwa Constructions also plays Athenae. Come to think of it even, Lee Taejin, the Chairman of Noddugi also plays this game.]
Park Munsoo looked at the place where Kang Minhoo had just sat.
In fact, there were only a few of the department heads in Ilhwa Group that were aware that Chairman Kang Minhoo was currently playing Athenae. In addition, Athenae was a game that a lot of famous people had played in recent years. There were even plenty of political and business leaders that were rankers so it wasn’t that strange to see older people in the game. But Park Munsoo saw this as a ‘sign’.
‘How dare you mess with the Chairman, I will let you pay for that......!’
Then he began to send messages that were filled with his wrath and anger.
At the same time, Kim Taesik, the head of Ilhwa Construction and who was currently holding a meeting, was shocked when he saw the message that came from Secretary Park Munsoo through their emergency contact network.
[The Chairman said that he was PKed by Bachran Guild.]
“......!”
Jump!
The conference room was suddenly filled with silence when he abruptly stood up.
“Continue.”
Kim Taesik slowly sat back down.
Back when he was still a child and had just started working, he had nothing at all. However, no matter how hardworking he was, he was eventually pushed to the limits and his wits end because of his educational background. At that time, Chairman Kang Minhoo became his benefactor. He did not even care about his personal and educational background as he accepted him wholeheartedly.
Right now, he was a Lv424 mage in Athenae so he believed that he definitely had enough power to help. He quickly turned on the chatroom. There were a total of four people in this chatroom. These four people included him, the president of Noddugi and the heads of Ilhwa Distribution and Ilhwa Electronics. The four of them were all playing and enjoying Athenae together. And all of them were high leveled players with a minimum level of Lv400. In addition, they were all players who always wore black masks whenever they were inside the game. They were all armed to the teeth with expensive artifacts and were dubbed as the ‘4 Hyenas’ as they wandered around the hunting grounds in their lonesome group.
And right now, their chatroom was on fire. After all, each and everyone of them were indebted to Chairman Kang Minhoo! Then, President Kim Taesik sent in their chat......
[Kim Taesik: Hyenas, get ready to hunt.]

Crone had recently received a letter from Callauhel.
“Damn, you punk! Can we give the Lord coffee like this? What’s wrong with you? You’re strong but you’re not good at anything?!”
“I, I’m sorry.”
‘What’s this? A waiter?’
Carn had no choice but to laugh.
A waiter who gets scolded by a crazy old man?
He thought that it was no longer necessary for him to watch these people closely so he turned away before infiltrating the Lord’s house.
As soon as he entered, there was......
An African boy who was washing the dishes. After washing the dishes, he crouched in the corner and munched on some bread. The African boy, Kaistra, smiled and laughed with a hehe.

‘Minhyuk-nim will compliment me if he knew that I learned that I got better at washing dishes, right?’
He smiled widely as he ate his bread and Carn who was hiding suddenly blushed in shame.
‘There really is a boy who will get happy with just a loaf of bread......’
He held back his tears and swallowed his sobs as he took something out of his arms and placed it on the floor. Then he affirmed their decision.
‘The least we can do is attack this Lord’s estate.’
Then, he disappeared.
When Kaistra stood up to wash the dishes again, he tilted his head in confusion.
“Huh?”
It was because he found 1 gold on the floor.
“Oh, I picked up 1 gold.”
Then, he smiled brightly.

[Carn: Legend Guild has only started moving a few days prior. And most of the things they needed, including the troops, are still lacking. Even the Vice Lord, their first vassal, is a senile old man. I don’t think there’s anything in particular that we need to worry about.]
‘A senile old man as their vassal?’
Crone grinned wickedly. He had already thought that this was the case since Valhalla Territory was only granted to them not too long ago.
Their biggest problem was the dismal amount of members of Legend Guild. Ever since they had developed, they were only in the minority with a number of less than 20 people.
It doesn’t matter how strong they are, sometimes plenty of people are still better.
Crone turned and looked around.
Pharaoh’s Envoy.
It was one of the few God Classes in the country. He had the power to summon the warriors of the ancient Pharaohs. These warriors vary from Lv 350~450. In a way, he was more of a summoner than an envoy.
“When’s the work going to be done?”
“We first have to pretend that Legend Guild attacked us first, then we’ll do it right away.”
The Pharaoh’s Envoy was wearing an ancient Pharaoh’s mask which looked quite weird and out of this world.
“I heard that the Pharaoh can summon the Evil Spirits from the Demon world.”
Pharaoh nodded his head. He opened his mouth and told him since he and Crone, who was standing in front of him, would be working for a long time.
“We can summon Baphomet.”
“Oho. If it’s Baphomet......”
Crone’s eyes glistened and sparkled in mischief.
“He’s the ‘Sheep’ who can walk on two feet, right?”

TL’s corner!
