Chapter 122: God Tier (2)

My condolences.This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

I thought I could at least make it to the 2nd or 3rd place, excluding the 1st place held by a monster at level 80 hogging it all, but I was pushed down by a priest and a buffer One of them is my fiance, but still.

Ma Kyung-rok chuckled bitterly and filled his whiskey glass.

Not receiving the 2nd or 3rd place rewards for once feels strange. I thought I was at the lead, but suddenly Im falling behind to even my employees in levels.

Do-dont be disheartened, President. Its only a 2-level difference between us, and you have a special and strong job. Youll regain your rank soon.

Is that so? If I join Black Scythes area will there really be a chance to take back even the 1st place?

An Sang-cheol held back his words.

Now, whatever he would say wouldnt comfort him.

It would only stir up more trouble.

Whats Seo Arins level?

I think I heard shes at 37.

Is that so? At least Im higher than Seo Arin. Im not too pleased, though.

After downing the whiskey in one go, Ma Kyung-rok sighed and put down his glass.

The prophet is still alive, right?

Yes. I confirmed it on the way here.

Id like to know the information for the 9th round sooner. To analyze where I can quickly level up.

Should I call now and ask him to come?

What blasphemy. I told you to treat the prophet like a god. If anything, think of him as a messenger delivering the divine oracle. He might be young, but hes more cunning and quick-witted than you think. Dont do anything to make him dislike us. Think and act in such a way that we can both win-win. Were the ones who need the prophet, not the way around.

Ah, understood. Ill be careful with my words and actions from now on.

Ma Kyung-rok was reminiscing.

Ryu Min, who had praised him in front of his father.

Is it humility, or does he lack greed? Its hard to tell.

Then, Ma Kyung-roks phone vibrated.

Who could it be at this hour?

He looked towards his phone in surprise and quickly answered in English.

Christine. Whats up?

-I just boarded a plane to Incheon Airport.

Excuse me? Suddenly?

-Ive confirmed that most of the information you gave me about the 8th round is true.

Of course.

Ryu Mins prophecies have never been wrong.

So, theres no need to worry about going bankrupt.

Ha, I was worrying over nothing.

Ma Kyung-rok felt somewhat relieved after hearing Ryu Mins explanation.

He had invited Ryu Min to share his concerns about the company possibly going bankrupt as the number of rounds decreased and users dropped.

As it turns out, his worries were unfounded.

The prophet understood the company better than he did, a businessman.

But eventually, itll crash and burn anyway.

After the 15th round, the number of users will plummet.

Not a gradual curve, but a cliff-like drop.

When the number of users drops to two digits, bankruptcy is inevitable.

By then, of course, Ill have to wash my hands of it. For now, milk it for all its worth.

Ryu Min kept that fact to himself.

There was no need to cause unnecessary worry.

Indeed, it was wise to consult the prophet. Otherwise, I might have been fretting alone over various worries. Ha ha.

Watching, Ryu Min noticed a slight change in Ma Kyung-roks laughter.

His pretense towards me has lessened somewhat.

Ma Kyung-rok always wore a mask of business when dealing with him.

But today, for some reason, he seemed to be lowering his guard.

Perhaps me praising him in front of the chairman had an effect.

Reading his inner thoughts, it seemed that was the moment he let down his guard.

Well, he didnt call me here to ask about the companys fate, Im sure.

Ryu Min kept an eye on Ma Kyung-rok.

Through the Rune of Future, he could see 7 seconds into the future.

Um, prophet. The reason Ive invited you here today is actually for something else.

I know.

Excuse me?

You dont need to say it. Guests will arrive soon.

Right after Ryu Mins words, the office door opened.

Two guests from the United States entered.

It was Christine and Jeffrey.

Ma Kyung-rok looked back and forth between Ryu Min and Christine in surprise.
