Chapter 114

While everyone was brainstorming for a plan, Yu-hyun said he already had a scenario in mind.

It was a plan he came up with when he entered the crystal cave, the world of ideas hidden by the Twilight Curtain.

“The Twilight Curtain was the first to discover the world of ideas in a place where people don’t come and go, and they disguised it as a construction site to use it for themselves. I went out today to get some information about that place.”

“How did you know that, Mr. Yu-hyun?”Ñ00v€l--ß1n hosted the premiere release of this chapter.

“I visited someone I knew before, and I got into a fight with some gangsters who were subcontracted by them.”

Yu-hyun honestly answered that he had realized that they were connected to the Collector while dealing with those gangsters, and he had noticed that there was a safe with important data in it.

“It was suspicious. So I stole the safe.”

“What?!”

“Are you crazy?!”

Baek Seoryeon and Kang Hye-rim shouted as they jumped up from their seats.

Even Kwon Jia, who was good at shielding him, frowned slightly and crossed his arms, glaring at Yu-hyun.

Yu-hyun waved his hand, telling them not to worry.

“I hid my identity well. I put a perception inhibition on them, so no one knows who I am. Anyway, I stole the safe, and there were some interesting things inside.”

He said that and spread out the documents that were in the safe on the table in the center of everyone.

“These are them.”

The documents containing the crimes of the Twilight Curtain. The things that they were looking for with their eyes on fire to prevent their secrets from being exposed were revealed in front of the three.

Their expressions hardened in an instant as they skimmed through the contents.

“If this is such important information... wouldn’t it be better to report it to the association?”

“Of course, as Mr. Seoryeon said, that’s also an option. But don’t you think it’s too wasteful to just use it for reporting?”

“What? Wasteful? What else is there?”

“If we just report it to the association, the Twilight Curtain clan will surely suffer in many ways. But that’s all. They will try to deny or cut off their tails somehow. Even if we say this is the evidence, there are not enough legal grounds to punish them.”

“I agree with that.”

Kwon Jia stepped forward and backed up Yu-hyun’s words.

“These guys must have prepared several escape routes in case they get caught doing this. Even if they are caught at the very last moment, they will buy enough time until then.”

“Then what should we do?”

Yu-hyun answered instead of Kang Hye-rim, who didn’t know what to do.

“We use this data to our advantage.”

“Data.”

“To our advantage?”

“Hmm. Let’s hear more.”

“The gist is this. The Twilight Curtain is looking for the person who stole the safe. They probably want to find and kill the culprit by any means possible. But more than that, they must be very nervous. Seeing that the other party hasn’t moved yet with this data, they can’t help but suspect that there is something going on.”

Yu-hyun found a clue here.

“They must have plastered surveillance at the entrance of the world of ideas. They can call people right away if anyone suspicious approaches. I’m going to take advantage of this part and make them fight with others.”

“Others? Who are they?”

“The Hanul clan.”

At Yu-hyun’s words, Baek Seoryeon opened her mouth wide in surprise.

“Why there? Don’t tell me you’re thinking of getting revenge there too?”

“Of course, that’s part of it, but there’s a bigger reason why they’re trying to attack us soon.”

“Why... ah.”

Baek Seoryeon nodded her head as if she remembered something.

“The Hanul clan is not only where Mr. Seoryeon stayed for a while, but also where he was fired for a bad reason. Not only that, but they also deliberately interfered with him from behind even though he set up his own management company.”

That was enough to see from the incident at the by-product market. Plus, there was the incident where Jeon Kwangseok, who had picked a fight with Yu-hyun, got beaten up.

It was a trouble with an ordinary employee who was not a Collector, but still Hanul wouldn’t look kindly at Yu-hyun who touched their clan member.

“Plus, judging by how they chased Mr. Seoryeon away like that, Hanul must have some kind of connection with the Twilight Curtain. Not as collaborators who work together, but as someone who occasionally helps each other and benefits from each other.”

“Then...”

“Yes. I’m going to make these two clans fight each other.”

Yu-hyun planned the operation, but he needed Kang Hye-rim and Kwon Jia’s help to execute it.

Yu-hyun first ordered Celine to spread a rumor.

“Is this really all I have to do for you?”

“Yeah. That’s enough.”

The rumor that Celine spread was that ‘a clan secretly monopolizes a world of ideas’.

This was Yu-hyun’s scheme to provoke the Twilight Curtain, and it actually worked.

“A rumor like that circulated? Where?”

“That... it seems like everywhere.”

“The source of the rumor must be him.”

The Twilight Curtain took this situation seriously and dispatched many mid-level Collectors.

The man who was in charge of supervising sensed instinctively that the faint rumor that was floating around was targeting them.

‘But it’s strange that they don’t reveal any clear information about us.’

But he finally managed to find a clue to the culprit.

If he caught the one who spread the rumor, he would find out about the one who stole the safe.

Then a incident happened that shook the Twilight Curtain greatly.

The next day, the supervisor checked the report that came up to him and frowned.

“What? There was an intruder in our secretly operated world of ideas?”

“Yes.”

The subordinate explained the situation with a nervous expression.

He didn’t know how the other side had overcome over 100 CCTV cameras and four Collectors who were guarding the world of ideas in turns, but someone had entered and taken away many of the contents inside.

Of course, it was only herbs or minerals near the entrance, but the fact that there was an intruder was important.

“What were the guys guarding the entrance doing?”

“Well, according to what we checked, they maintained their traces in real time but nothing caught them. When we actually checked, they didn’t seem to be lying or avoiding the situation.”

“What about CCTV?”

“We can’t find anything no matter how we check.”

“...It’s him.”

The supervisor was sure that it was the one who stole the safe.

He had said that he couldn’t tell who he was even if he saw him openly.

If he could inhibit perception to that extent, hiding his appearance would be easy.

‘I didn’t expect him to be immune to tracking abilities, though.’

Now that he knew he was moving, preparing for it was a priority.

“Move. But don’t be too conspicuous. Rotate with a few people who specialize in this matter. Hold the four who were waiting at the entrance responsible for this. Replace them with new ones. Add two more with better skills.”

“Got it.”

The Twilight Curtain moved decisively, but secretly so as not to catch the eyes of others.

But Yu-hyun, who had grasped the flow of the situation, saw their movements clearly as if they were walking on his palm.

‘They must be furious.’

On the rooftop of the office building. Yu-hyun looked down at the city and thought so.

Yu-hyun sneaked into the crystal cave with Kang Hye-rim and Kwon Jia.

He hid his identity by engraving [Inscription], so there was no problem.

The only flaw was that he used too many points to engrave Inscription, but that was enough to recover and spare after this was over.

‘Anyway, sneaking in and taking a lot of things made them aware of the situation.’

He was in a good mood because he made a decent profit.

But the operation was not over yet.

The stage had just begun, and Yu-hyun’s scenario was just in the process of unfolding.

‘Next, new characters will come on stage.’

The next target was Hanul clan.

Yu-hyun couldn’t help but smile as he thought of the data sent to them.
