Chapter 307: What I Want to Do the Most

Mei Wei turned to look back at Conir only after all of the rankers had been finished off.

“Conir still couldn’t sell my ramyeon today... Noona’s method failed...!”

Mei Wei looked at the once again innocent boy with confusion.

‘Who the hell...?’

What was Conir’s real identity? She had never seen an NPC as powerful as Conir. Since the game was continuously updating, strong NPCs would definitely start to appear one by one. However, she was certain that there was no other existence in the game that was stronger than Conir currently.

“That’s right. Your Noona’s method failed, so let’s scrap it,” Mei Wei said with a grin. So what if Conir’s identity was that of an unknown NPC? So what if Conir was strong and special? Mei Wei did not see him as an NPC anymore. She had long considered him as a person, a friend, and a younger brother.

Mei Wei did not have any friends in reality. She had distanced herself from everyone after that incident. However, she felt that Conir was someone special to her. Especially since she only lived with her precious younger brother before.

“Conir, why don’t we go outside this place to sell ramyeon?”

“Conir!!! Conir will definitely be able to sell ramyeon this time!!!”

Mei Wei left the entrance passage with Conir and finally entered the Asgan Continent.

Wei Xin, who used his real name in Athenae, came out of the capsule furiously after completely forgetting the envy that he felt towards the player that Mei Wei wanted to befriend.

‘Mei Wei...!’

He would probably be able to kill Mei Wei if the little boy was not there. The collaboration between the Valkyrie, a class known to be the class with the best buff abilities, and the powerful little boy was the strongest collaboration that he had seen. However, Wei Xin believed that their fight was not over yet.

‘The players that went through the Dragon King’s Sea...’

There were a thousand of rankers and semi-rankers that took that route to ruin Valhalla territory and show Korea what kind of country China was. From what Wei Xin recalled, Cannibal was one of the thousand rankers that set out and sailed through the Dragon King’s Sea. He immediately sent a whisper to him in Athenae via his mobile phone.

[Wei Xin: Cannibal, have you arrived at Asgan Continent?]

[Cannibal: We’re in big trouble. All of the other players have been wiped out. Only two other players and myself are left!!!]

Wei Xin was unaware of the situation so he could not understand what he meant.

‘What do you mean by wiped out?’

[Wei Xin: What are you...]

[Cannibal has been forced to log out.]

“...?”

Wei Xin was left hanging in the air, not knowing what was happening.

‘Just what in the world happened?’

***

There were a thousand semi-rankers and ordinary rankers from China’s four major guilds that were sailing across the sea located between the Cairon and Asgan continents. They planned on joining the thirty top rankers who went through the entrance passage later on, and take over theValhalla territory. However, hundreds of monsters suddenly attacked the huge warship that they were sailing on.

Bang―

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!

“Kill the sea monsters!!! Don’t let them destroy the ship!!!”

“H...how did this happen?!”

“Keuaaaaack!”

Lee Minhwa smiled brightly as she answered, “Of course not.”

‘I do!’

Employee Lee Minhwa’s outward appearance and words were completely different from her inner thoughts. Team Leader Park Minggyu could only see her bright smile, but he was completely unaware of the fact that Employee Lee Minhwa had a cursed doll in her house labeled ‘Park Minggyu’,that she always stabbed with a needle at night!

***

At the Royal Department Store’s Suit Shop, a female employee by the name Hyo-Jin hurriedly wiped the tears that dripped down her cheeks, the very same tears that she tried so hard to hold back.

Hyo-Jin’s family was in a difficult situation. She had no other choice but to work at the department store at the young age of twenty. Today, she met with the lowest of the low. It was a young man, a CEO of a small business enterprise that began to rise to fame not too long ago. The man came to get a refund for the suit that he bought before, claiming that it was torn. The problem was that the part that he had claimed to be torn was completely fine, instead, the suit was completely stained.

‘He definitely spilled on it... while he was drinking...’

However, he still asked for a refund on the suit. At first, Hyo-jin calmly told him that it was impossible to get a refund. Besides, she had meticulously checked the item before sending it out, so she knew that this was something that was definitely not the fault of the store.

However, the man, Woo Tae-jin, roared loudly at her, “Are you saying that I’m lying?!!! Huh?!!! I want to file a complaint!!! Is this how you treat your customer?!!!”

A human’s true nature would never change. Woo Tae-Jin was the type of person who only succeeded as a chairman of his company because his business went well, thanks to luck. However, he had been in a bad situation before his rise to fame.

“B...But, sir... this is definitely... an alcohol stain...”

“Wow. Keep this in that muddled head of yours!” Woo Tae-Jin shouted as he pressed his finger hard on her forehead.

“Do you know how much money I spent here?! Is this how a department store under Ilhwa Group works?! Did that company teach their employees like this?!!”

“I’m sorry.”

Hyo-Jin felt that this was completely unfair. However, she had no other choice but to bow her head and apologize. Just then, a voice suddenly rang from somewhere in the store.

“Ilhwa Group’s chairman, Kang Minhoo, taught the employees of the Royal Department Store like this. The employees are the masters of the group.”

Woo Tae-Jin turned around and saw a huge man standing at 185cm height.

‘What? He’s huge?’

Woo Tae-Jin felt flustered for a moment. Even the short-haired man standing next to the person who spoke was also huge. However, it was only for a moment. He knew that money, not body or strength, made the world go round. The two men were not even wearing any luxury or branded clothes.

“What’s it to you...”

“And the chairman also told them this. Never bow your head when you did not do anything wrong. You are all my precious and dear family, I will take care of the aftermath for you.”

This was what made Ilhwa famous. Chairman Kang Minhoo was someone who cared about his employees deeply. In fact, there was a well-known incident during one of the small and medium-sized business representative meetings, where one of the chairmen harassed a female employee and pretended not to know about it. Kang Minhoo personally rushed to him and attacked him in front of everyone, before breaking the contract with them. His words clearly showed that the stakeholders of the Royal Department Store was not only the chairman, but also the employees.

“That’s why that employee should never bow her head.”

“No, you are really...!”

Woo Tae-Jin felt the man’s overwhelming presence the moment he strode towards him. The man stood in front of them and inspected the clothes.

“Anybody that sees this will obviously know that this is an alcohol stain. And this torn part that you’re talking about? It seems like it has been scratched in the middle by a nail.”

“Hey!!! Who the hell are you?!”

“I’m a customer?” The man replied calmly as he took something out from his pockets, his voice calm, not shaking even once.

“I’m a customer that knows how to use SNS and loves to upload a lot of things. I really captured your face well, you see? Shall we continue? Ah, everyone, can you see properly? The CEO of Daeil Company, Woo Tae-Jin, is ripping clothes and abusing his power. Wow~ He’s being very mean just because he has a~ lot~ of~ money~.”

“...!”

Woo Tae-Jin suddenly recalled the ‘Power Abusing Videos’ that were widespread in the news these days. And this man was doing it right now. However, his pride had been trampled severely that he did not want to back down.

So, he tried to open his mouth and refute the man’s words, but the man spoke coldly before he could do so, “Your greediness knows no shame.”

The man was none other than Minhyuk.
