Chapter 751: The Life Elixir

Chapter 751: The Life Elixir

The global official number one ranker, Fabian, was visiting South Korea and attracted countless reporters, who had flocked to Incheon International Airport for a scoop.

Click, click, click, click, click, click—

Fabian was someone that did not have much influence in Athenae. He was just famous for being a player with the highest level. The only reason why he was able to attract this much attention was because he reached Level 599 just a few days ago after following the methods that the God of Growth and Development had told him. His goal of Level 600 was just right around the corner, it was just one more level.

Actually, Fabian visited this country on purpose. It was because he wanted to keep Food God Minhyuk in check.

‘Hmph! That Food God is very daring.’ Fabian waved his hands toward the reporters while clicking his tongue and thinking about how stupid and pitiful the Food God would be.

The reason why everyone was so interested in Level 600 was because anyone that reached that point would be able to gain new power. In particular, the first to reach Level 600 would be able to get a special and amazing title!

Everyone was curious, and the reporters were no different. All of them kept on asking questions.

“Why did you come to visit South Korea?”

“For the longest time, I have been very fond of South Korea. So, I plan to stay at a hotel here and try to achieve Level 600.”

Fabian knew that the reporters would be able to sniff and flock to that hotel the moment he reached Level 600.

Then, one of the reporters said, “Word on the grapevine is that you came to our country to keep the Food God in check, is that true?”

“The Food God?” Fabian acted innocently as if it was the first that he heard such a thing. “No, not at all.”

In fact, Fabian was known for his inferiority complex. After all, even though his level was the highest, no one in the world recognized him. However, this time, there was the opportunity to trample and mock the current world’s best, the Food God.

“However, from what I know, the Food God’s level is at Level 597. It will be very difficult to increase by three levels in such a short amount of time. I was only able to raise my level this much because I got lucky.”

This was Fabian’s way of provoking Minhyuk. He was telling them that he was, in the end, still the one in the lead.

“I’m very pleased to have arrived in Korea today. I can spare an hour for questions,” Fabian said generously.

At that moment, one of the reporters’ phone rang.

Ring, ring, ring, ring, ring—!

Ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring—!

“Ah, put it on vibrate mode.”

The phone, which had been set on vibrate mode, began to ring once again. It made the reporter frown. Not long after, the reporters had no choice but to take out their phones from their pockets because it did not stop ringing.

“Hello? I’m covering Fabian right now... What?! The first person to achieve Level 600 in the world has appeared?!”

“Is that true?!”

“Who is it?!”

“Heooook?!”

The reporters were all in shock, their eyes growing bigger the moment they heard the name.

“The, the Food God?!”

“Food God Minhyuk?!!”

“Did, did you say that it’s Minhyuk?!”

Everyone turned silent after answering the phone, just like they promised earlier. Their eyes turned to look at Fabian.

Clack—

In the next instant, one of the reporters picked up their camera and began to run. Immediately after, the rest of the reporters picked up their cameras and ran out of the airport.

“We need to go in front of the Food God’s house, quick!”

“Senior, what about Fabian?!”

“What about Fabian?! The Food God has achieved Level 600, that’s no small matter! If we don’t cover it then the repercussions will be huge!!!”

“N, no. I will give you three hours of an interview!!!”

In no time at all, there was no reporter standing in front of Fabian.

Fabian’s manager approached him. “Excuse me, Sir Fabian.”

“...”

“If we continue to stay here in Korea right now, then I think we will be laughed at.”

“...”

“Should I book a flight back home?”

“...”

Fabian returned to his home country barely thirty minutes after entering Korea.

***

[He’s trying to keep his promise. Like a true man.]

[This was the man that ranked first in the world before. Even though there’s nothing special about him, he’s still a ranker that could bolster Beyond the Heavens’ forces.]

[Kghhk. With this, Beyond the Heavens Kingdom will become tougher, no?]

[Yes, once Beyond the Heavens Kingdom absorbs Fabian.]

“Fabian.”

“Yes, please speak.”

“Who are you?”

“...?”

“???”

[???]

[???]

At that moment, question marks appeared in the heads of the people from all over the world.

“Th, that... I’m Fabian. I don’t know how else I should put it?”

“No, I mean... am I supposed to know who you are?”

Then, at that moment.

[Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.]

[Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.]

[Ah, crazy. Hahahahahahahahahaha. Shit, I drooled. Hahahahahahaha.]

[Hehehehehehehehehehehehehehe.]

[Ah. Hahaha. Fabian looks constipated. Minhyuk doesn’t know who he is.]

[But that’s possible, right? Him not knowing the fact that Fabian is the one that’s ranked first in the official rankings. Haha.]

At that moment, one of the broadcasting stations’ officials raised his voice and explained to Minhyuk who Fabian was.

‘Hoo. Right, you may not know me but I’m Level 599. I’m the guy that’s closest to you in level. Do you understand now? Do you know how big an increase in power the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom would gain if I joined you?’

‘Now, open your arms wide and accept me!’

“I pledge to serve you. I promise that this is not a false allegiance! I promise with all my heart that I will serve and protect you and the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom!!!” Fabian declared, his head bowed down. Since he declared this much, it was a given that Minhyuk would accept him with open arms.

“No, who’s going to take you in? Why are you creating a scene all by yourself when I didn’t even say anything about accepting you?”

“...”

Indeed, Minhyuk had never mentioned anything about accepting him. In all honesty, Minhyuk knew about Fabian. He was the number one ranker in the world and he was chasing Minhyuk’s current level. Of course, he was also aware of Fabian’s past arrogant and impudent words.

Minhyuk was someone that would not accept Fabian just because he could increase the Beyond the Heaven’s Kingdom’s power. Besides, he was someone that had insulted Minhyuk and spoke sarcastically about him.

‘You reap what you sow.’

Everyone that watched the scene were confused.

[Doesn’t the Food God look colder than normal?]

[That’s right. He’s usually friendly and polite.]

[Guys, think about it. An unknown player suddenly appears in front of you and declares, ‘Accept me in the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom!’. Do you think a busy person like Minhyuk would feel good about it? And haven’t you heard it before? Fabian had been talking shit about Minhyuk through his interviews.]

[I see, so that’s the case.]

Fabian looked baffled. Was there someone like him that would not like the ranked number one in the world?! However, Fabian could not back down either.

“This Fabian might not be good enough but I promise to lay my life down for the sake of the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom...”

“Let’s get things straight here.” Then, Minhyuk said firmly. “I don’t know you. But it seems like you have been doing a lot of interviews and speaking ill of me, no?”

“...”

“I’ve seen quite a lot of your interviews and you have always spoken sarcastically about me and insulted me. To be honest, I feel bad to hear someone I don’t know speak nonsense like that about me.”

“...”

“But now, I have achieved Level 600 faster than you. Because of that, the people are mocking and cursing you. So, to change the public’s unfavorable view of you, you moved here to stay true to your promise. Isn’t it like that?”

“...”

“Aren’t you a f*cking bastard then?” Minhyuk’s expression turned cold.

His charisma and majesty as the King of the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom completely overwhelmed Fabian. Amidst the live broadcast of the BJs and broadcasting stations from all over the world that had zoomed in on Minhyuk and Fabian, he spoke coldly, “Get lost, you f*cking bastard.”
