Chapter 256

“Hello~.”

“...Yes. Nice to meet you.”

Yu-hyun scanned the tall teller who stood in front of him from head to toe.

A black uniform with beautiful golden embroidery.

A red cloak fluttering over his shoulders.

And on his head, a black helmet.

This teller looked like a mix of a European noble and a soldier, and he gave off a very impressive first impression.

“I’m Romulaxis, the manager.”

“...I’m Kang Yu-hyun, the manager.”

“Nice to meet you. Wow, you really live up to the rumors. I’ve heard a lot about you, but this is the first time I’ve seen you in person.”

“Oh, really.”

“I’m really curious, so don’t mind me asking, but did you really give up your protection? And you really fight with the collectors?”

“...Uh, yes.”

“That’s amazing!”

Romulaxis exclaimed with admiration, spreading his arms in a Y shape as if he really meant it.

Yu-hyun hesitated on what expression to make at his reaction.

Kwon Jia and Kang Hye-rim, who were watching the scene, whispered to each other.

“I’ve never seen Yu-hyun react like that before.”

“Hmm. I guess that guy is too hard to deal with in his right mind.”

“He just seems crazy to me.”

“I think so too.”

“But don’t you think Yu-hyun’s reaction is refreshing?”

“It’s kind of fun to see him in a different way...”

“Hey. You two over there. I can hear you, you know?”

Kwon Jia and Kang Hye-rim coughed and avoided Yu-hyun’s glare.

Yu-hyun sighed and looked at Romulaxis again. Well, did their eyes even meet?

“So, what brings you here all of a sudden?”

“I just came to see who the teller of the rumors was out of curiosity.”

“Is that all?”

“Yes, why?”

Romulaxis replied with a pure expression that showed no ulterior motive. Yu-hyun felt a headache coming on.

But he couldn’t just treat him weirdly and ignore him.

‘What kind of book is that...’

The book floating above Romulaxis’ head was inferior to other chief tellers, but it had a golden potential.

He introduced himself as a manager, and there was no lie in that. But judging by his book alone, he was almost on par with a veteran deputy manager.

In terms of potential, he could even surpass the chief’s position.

In other words, Romulaxis was a teller who had great abilities but acted strangely.

‘He doesn’t seem to be hiding his abilities on purpose.’

He seemed to be just like that by nature.

Even if they were tellers, their personalities were different, so it wasn’t strange to have such an odd teller.

But then.

“Oh, right! I forgot something. Actually, I had a favor to ask you.”

“What? You said you came here just out of curiosity...”

“I forgot.”

“...”

Why is it that?

Just by talking to him, I feel my irritation rising.

Even Yu-hyun, who always uses polite language with a smile to anyone, feels like this Romulaxis guy is somehow crossing the line of his patience in many ways.

“Hoo. So what is the favor you need?”

“Director Celestina told me to help teller Kang Yu-hyun if he was having a hard time.”

“Director Celestina? Wait, are you from the Celestial Ice department?”

“Yes. Why?”

“...”

Being in that department, which aims for a small elite group, was proof enough of Romulaxis’s ability as a teller.

But why is it that every time he faces Romulaxis, he imagines Celestina swallowing her anger?

‘Did she send this teller to help me?’

Is this not meant to make me angry?

Yu-hyun seriously wondered if he had done something wrong to Celestina.

He couldn’t believe that she sent this kind of (?) teller to help him.

‘Isn’t this just dumping the trash on me?’

If she was going to send someone, couldn’t it be someone more serious and reliable?

Yu-hyun decided to think positively for now.

Romulaxis was still a teller of his level, and he seemed talented and capable when it came to books, so there was no harm in getting along with him.

“Please take care of me.”

“I have a plan for this. What are they doing? They are defying the natural order of things that is already set. They are forcing something that does not exist into existence. Damn. I can’t just sit and watch.”

“So what did you do, boss? Don’t tell me, you destroyed something that already existed.”

“That’s exactly what I did.”

“What?”

“Boss. Are we hearing this wrong?”

“No. You heard it right. What did those tragedy freaks do? They created a new Mental Realm that did not exist. Then what should I do? The answer is obvious, isn’t it?”

Ganggo’s choice was the exact opposite of Exodus’s.

He destroyed an existing Mental Realm.

The other gang members sighed and shook their heads when they heard that.

“Oh boy. Boss, have you gone mad?”

“It seems like our boss has lost his mind. He’s paying the price for messing with them.”

Ganggo snapped at them.

“Hey, you guys! Why are you picking on me? Do you think you would have done any better?!”

“Well, that’s...”

“Uh...”

“Come on. And before you say anything about me, change your eyes first.”

As Ganggo pointed out.

Among the gang members gathered here, there was not a single one who sincerely wanted to stop him, even though they verbally called him crazy.

Because.

“It sounds so fun, why should we stop him?”

“Right. Destroying an existing Mental Realm, what could be more fun than that?”

“We honestly want to see it!”

It was fun.

The most primal instinct engraved in the minds of the Comedy Gang members was only this one thing.

Anything was possible if it was fun.

As Yu-hyun warned, they thought nothing of creating and destroying something for fun.

Even if a massacre occurred, they would laugh and clap their hands. That was the Comedy Gang.

“But boss, can we handle this matter on our own? I’m a bit worried about that.”

One of the gang members said that.

As he pointed out, the Comedy Gang was a free-Divine Spirited group, but still a part of an organization. And one of the three major teller organizations at that.

No matter how powerful Ganggo was, he could not deal with such a matter on his own.

“Hey, you idiots. Do you really think I’m crazy enough to do such a thing by myself? Of course I got permission from above!”

“Oh my. From above, you mean... from the leader?”

“That’s right.”

“Really?”

The tellers of the Comedy Gang usually called each other brothers and sisters.

But among them, there were some special tellers, who were at least equivalent to the deputy director level or higher in the Celestial Corporation. They were given the titles of sub-boss and boss.

And above them. Those who matched the level of directors and executives. They were called leaders.

“Hey! Even for a leader, messing with a Mental Realm is not easy, you know?!”

“Then, don’t tell me, above that?”

“Wha, what? The supreme leader?”

The top of the organization called the Comedy Gang.

The one who was much higher than the sub-boss, boss, and leader.

The supreme leader and big father of the Comedy Gang, the king of humor, Damcheon.

He was the one who approved this matter.

So Ganggo secretly passed on the ability to cut off and pulverize the story of a Mental Realm to a man who could do it.

To Kim Hakjang, the director of the Korean Collector Association.

“Got it?! The supreme leader approved it! So don’t be scared and we just have to give those tragedy freaks a taste of their own medicine!”

“Kya! With the supreme leader’s backing, we’re unstoppable!”

“Let’s go and have some fun!”

The market quickly turned into a festive atmosphere. Ganggo laughed heartily with his subordinates.

But while he was laughing, there was one thing he had not told them yet.

‘Was his name Kang Yu-hyun?’

The one and only teller who had turned the place called Earth, which the Comedy Gang had ignored, into a huge market in no time.

Ganggo had been watching Yu-hyun’s actions today from afar.

He did not go into his library directly. That would show up on Yu-hyun’s access history.

So he secretly watched him.

‘He knew I was watching him.’

He admitted that he was a bit obvious, but he did not think he would be caught even then.

Yu-hyun did not show any signs that he knew he was watching, but Ganggo could tell.

He could tell that Yu-hyun knew from the start. And knowing that, Yu-hyun did not react, and knowing that, Ganggo also let it slide.

‘I thought the Celestial Corporation was full of boring suit-wearers who only cared about money.’

Ganggo snickered.

‘Well, well. There was a very interesting guy among them.’
