[Chapter 027]
[Dawn Department Store (9)]
…Do you know why we gathered today?
meeting room.
A woman sitting in the seat of honor asked, crossing her legs. Baring her forehead, she nervously brushed her bobbed hair down to her shoulders.
widely.
The woman uncrossed her legs. The sound of shoes hitting the floor echoed throughout the conference table.
All the subloads gathered in the seat kept their mouths shut. Some of them closed their eyes and were lost in thought.
All of them knew that they could offend the Clanlord if they spoke rashly.
I had to pay attention to what I was saying.
The dawn department store terrorism is not a simple terrorism.
Intense eyes and a stern voice that makes you straighten your back.
Yujin Kim, the Clan Lord of the Shilla Clan, opened her mouth.
Dawn Department Store No. 1 Terror Attack. The Shilla Clan rescued citizens with a quick response, annihilated monsters that appeared in department stores, and suppressed terrorism. The media was reporting the name of the Shilla Clan positively.
But even saying it made her feel annoyed and displeased. It was surprising that the Shilla Clan caught the terrorists, but if they reacted even slightly incorrectly, they could be criticized by public opinion as a terrorist act that resulted in numerous casualties.
…that’s terrible.
One of the subloads muttered softly.
Yes. It’s a terrible thing indeed.
What if Shinra Clan failed to subdue the terrorists and concluded that Mana’s omnipresence was due to simultaneous natural disasters?
Not only could the reputation of the Shilla Clan fall, but even the support of the Dawn Group could disappear.
It’s an inside fight.
Yujin, who quickly bit into this, looked around and said.
Bondi terrorism has a purpose.
But did they do something that wouldn’t be strange if they were decapitated for no purpose?
no it can’t be She was sure they were hired by someone.
…clanlord. What do you mean by internal fighting?
The other sub-load asked after checking his eyes. He couldn’t figure out why she was referring to internal fighting.
It was the same with some subloads. However, they did not want to disturb the atmosphere at the conference table.
Even if you don’t know about it normally, if you do something that disturbs the atmosphere in front of the uncomfortable girl—
Seonho Lee. Are you still not used to that place?
sorry!
—It was obvious that this would happen.
The player called Lee Seon-ho jumped up from his seat and took a standing position.
sit down. If you’re a Sublord of the Shinra Clan, I want you to develop not only your skills as a player, but also your ability to understand the situation.
Kim Yujin sighed. Only then did she realize that some of the sublords hadn’t read the full story behind this incident.
Shall I change it right now?
Placing her hand on her chin, she carefully looked at the subloads who were avoiding her gaze.
Shilla Clan is one of the 7 clans rated as S-ranked in Korea. Among them, the Shilla Clan was a large clan that ranked 3rd in the ranks of clans with an S+ rating.
That’s why the seat of the sub-road was a middle seat. In the past, sublords were selected based on their abilities as a player and their ability to lead members, but now players with the ability to look into the situation are needed.
Otherwise, the Shinra Clan will be weeded out.
Korea was facing a drastic change with the inauguration of a fairy. A while ago, a new type of potion that broke the concept of the existing potion was released in the potion market.
In a rapidly changing world, the person who could serve as the vice-captain of the Shilla Clan had to be someone who could understand the current situation. Seo Jeong-hoon
, for example
. do you understand
yes.
Like Seo Jung-hoon, who can be called her right-hand man.
He got up from his seat and looked at the people with calm eyes. As if he had expected this to happen, he handed out the materials he took out of his briefcase.
This?
A smile crossed Kim Yu-jin’s lips.
This is the current power distribution of Dawn Group.
Seo Jeong-hoon explained with a calm face.
In the data he distributed, there were three groups connected, with the Dawn group at the top and the bottom.
The three groups were factions led by successors who wanted to succeed the chairman of Dawn Group.
…briefly. Is it really possible to do so?
The eldest sub-lord let out a long breath.
The chairman of Dawn Group, Lee Yoon-hee, is a woman. After < Destruction at the End of the Century >, those who newly gained power began to have several concubines, violating the socially accepted notion of monogamy. Under the motto that in order to build a future in a once destroyed world, outstanding talents must be produced, the phenomenon of polygamy showed no signs of slowing down.
Therefore, Dawn Group did not have a complicated succession sequence like Galaxy or Youngwon Group.
The eldest son, Lee Byung-in, is known for his outrageous temper. However, there are many people who think he will succeed Dawn Group because he is the eldest son.
Several of the subloads grunted.
If possible, they wanted to be the second son, Lee Jung-in. This is because he is famous for his good personality even among the second generation of chaebols and shows management skills comparable to Lee Byung-in.
So, there was a story that chairman Lee Yoon-hee was the most affectionate of his three children. In fact, he was replacing the duties of Lee Yoon-hee, who had now withdrawn from management.
The youngest is-. you don’t have to say anything
The subclans all nodded. The youngest member of Dawn Group was worse than the second, but better than the first. It was the weakest of the three factions, and he was skeptical of the succession of the group.
─I see.
It was only then that the subloads realized why Kim Yu-jin referred to terrorism as originating from within.
Yes, that’s right. The Dawn department store terrorism was committed by someone to succeed the Dawn Group.
Seo Jeong-hoon put down the material he was holding.
No more lengthy explanations were needed. Seeing Clan Lord’s attention, he quietly sat down.
I think you guys still have heads. You know who the idiot I’m talking about here?
idiot. It was indeed an apt expression.
No matter how greedy they are for the Dawn Group, they are attacking a place that is no different from the beginning of Dawn Department Store.
It was as if he was doing something crazy. And the maniac was only Lee Byung-in, the eldest son of Dawn Group.
…this is a complete idiot. There’s nothing in your head.
Currently, the person who runs the first Dawn Department Store is Lee Jung-in, the second son.
Lee Byung-in’s plan must have been to increase his right to speak within the group by attacking Dawn Department Store in the name of a natural disaster and then lingering over Lee Jung-in’s poor response.
However, his plan was exposed when the terrorists were suppressed.
If the terrorists there had not been quelled, the Shilla Clan would have no choice but to fall victim to a well-known but obvious scheme.
Chairman… Do you know?
One of the sub-clan asked a question, prepared to be scolded.
Is there anyone who doesn’t know?
This time, there was no criticism from Yujin Kim.
Currently, the media was only reporting on the terrorism that occurred at Dawn Department Store.
No one raised their voices about the terrorists’ aims. The focus of the media was only on the Shilla Clan’s terrorism suppression process and the rapid response Dawn Group’s measures and support for the victims.
The president used his hand.
The old man shook his head.
Dawn Group Chairman Lee Yoon-hee announced that he would return to management after a long period of seclusion and was on his way to meet people from all walks of life.
Of course, the fairy government couldn’t just listen.
Dawn Group decided to withdraw from the Gangnam-gu development policy promoted by the fairy government, as well as the loss of brand image. Not to mention the ridicule of other groups who noticed the Dawn Group’s succession struggle.
Kim Yu-jin quickly bit off this.
She was well aware of how important the lost intangible value was to the Dawn Group and the Shilla Clan. It will take a long time to regain the lost status.
The problem is not only that.
Seo Jeong-hoon threw a new topic.
It is highly likely that the force that Lee Byeong-in has attracted this time is not a mercenary called < No Name >, but the Changhae Clan.
Jung Hoon passed the newly acquired materials to people.
Among the players < No Name > had, there were also players from the Changhae Clan, who had been expelled from Uijeongbu.
It was a thousand times fortunate. It was revealed that this incident was a terrorism and that the players who participated in the terrorism were able to guess the connection with the Changhae Clan.
If they had not been able to subdue them, the Shilla Clan would have had no choice but to open their eyes and suffer, let alone understand the inside story of the incident.
…huh true.
The old man clicked his tongue. After turning over the data, he shook his head, saying, “The end of the world, the end of the world….”
I think it’s a guess.
At this time, the person who raised an objection to Seo Jeong-hoon’s remarks was one of the best guardians in the clan.
The Changhae Clan kicked out all of its members. Even if the players under < No Name > were from the Changhae Clan, I think it’s too speculative to associate them with the vassals who were kicked out of the Clan.
A few subloads nodded their heads while noticing.
You didn’t just prepare this list, did you?
The old man, who had been watching silently, asked, opening his eyes hidden by his thick eyebrows.
Seo Jeong-hoon replied with a smile.
We will share the following materials.
…I’ll talk about it sooner.
The sub-load who raised the objection grumbled.
In the Mt. Bukhan incident, 92 hounds were subdued, including Hell Hounds. The Changhae Clan took 70%, excluding the 30% that the fairy government should have and Hell Hound’s magic stone.
However, the Hound’s magic stones that Changhae Clan put on the market this year accounted for only 30% of the total. Clans that don’t need gems are now not putting out 40% at the end of the year.
< No Name > used magic stones to terrorize monsters.
At that time, all the monsters that appeared in Dawn Department Store were hounds.
Where did so many Hound’s magic stones come from?
It is forbidden to make hasty judgments. The old man was convinced of the shadow of the Changhae Clan, but he did not want to be biased by his emotions.
What if the Changhae Clan is looking for a time when the market price goes up?
Magic stones of the 7th tier are common items. Moreover, during that period, Changhae Clan put all of the 8th and 9th tier magic stones on the market.
So, what is the possibility that the magic stones that the Changhae Clan sold in the market were used for terrorism?
Shinra Clan investigated the source of the magic stones released on the market with all the power at their disposal. It will never happen.
But it’s just a heart attack. There is no exact proof.
It’s just your heartache. But I’m sure everyone here knows.
Seo Jeong-hoon was right.
The atmosphere in the meeting room subsided. All the people who occupied the seats could not hide their displeasure.
Was that also in April of this year?
Kim Yu-jin, who had been silent, opened her mouth. She was as cold as ice, but calm even in the atmosphere of rave reviews.
When Shin Seo-yeong found out that Gil Seong-joon was having an affair with the heir to the Dangun Group, there was a furious incident.
Even if Shin Seo-young tried to hide it, it was a story known to everyone who knew. This is because Gil Seong-jun flirting with women was a known fact in the industry, and the opponent was the heir to the Dangun group.
…I know what he was thinking.
Gil Seong-jun was not satisfied with receiving support from the Sirius Group, but he must have been thinking of receiving support from the Dangun Group as well.
However, Seongjun Gil, who was caught cheating on Seoyeong Shin, had no choice but to give up the support of the Dangun Group. Instead, he may have approached Lee Byung-in, the savage heir of the Dawn Group.
It is said that the Dangun Group has a great influence on the player’s world, but it was not comparable to the Dawn Group, which ranks 4th in the re-affiliation in Korea.
There was a very high possibility that Gil Seong-jun’s eyes had gone back.
This is why I called you today.
Kim Yu-jin, who opened her eyes, revealed her speculation.
is it war?
The best dealer in the clan looked on with anticipation.
War… that’s not bad either.
Yujin Kim answered with a cold smile.
In her heart, she wanted to declare war even because of the actions of the Changhae Clan to raise a spoon on the table and the players of the Shilla Clan who fell victim to the terror.
However, the two clans were competing for 2nd and 3rd place in Korea. The fairy Lim Ga-eul could not tolerate a war between the two clans, and the Silla clan had a weak justification for declaring war. Because the justification was weak, the fight that could have been won had to be lost.
The Changhae Clan has < Sinpoong >.
Seo Jeong-hoon expressed his opinion.
We must not forget the existence of the Twelve Seats < Divine Wind >. She was the possessor of infinite mana and was a caster who was said to be the strongest in the current generation.
Are there twelve seats only in Changhae? We also have < Thunder Emperor >.
Dealer objected. He was belligerent and did not like that Seo Jeong-hun was skeptical of war while mentioning < Shinpung >.
< Thunderbolt >…
The old man remembered the young man who joined the clan a while ago. He was a player in his early 20s who was being discussed along with Hyeon-cheol Kang of < Yeomma > and Hye-rim Park of < Sacred Mother >.
still young
The old man thought it was too early for him to receive the title of emperor. Even if he knew that his skills were enough to be called the Twelve Seats, he was still a kid. Without gaining more experience, it was not worthy to be called < Thunderbolt >.
no war
Kim Yu-jin looked around at the sub-loads who had different opinions and gave the direction of the clan.
The captain was her. Sublords who wanted war decided to follow her instructions even though they were dissatisfied.
But we can’t leave the Changhai Clan alone. The moment Shinra uses all means to punish them and expose their loopholes, Shinra waits for that moment.
She got up from her seat with the sound of her heels stepping.
If these guys are going to put a spoon on Shinra’s table, we have to kick them out so they don’t even raise their faces. From this moment on, we fully support Lee Jeong-in, the successor of Dawn Group.
Until now, Shilla Clan has not paid attention to the next chairman of Dawn Group. They were just going to follow the will of the owner of the dawn group as the sword of the dawn group.
However, the story is different if the Changhae Clan gets involved in the fight for the successor of the Dawn Group. If the Changhae Clan wants to make Mangnani the president, the Shilla Clan will make Lee Jeong-in the president.
In an hour, we will start a meeting on how to sanction the Changhai Clan. Until then, I hope you’re keeping your head straight.
Sighs poured out from everywhere.
Kim Yu-jin pretended not to hear that and left the conference room.
Hmm…
Actually, she had a story she didn’t bring up at the meeting. The player’s intuition was always speaking, so the Clan Lord’s point of view was unreasonable.
Why did Shin Seo-young from < Shinpung > help arrest the terrorists?
If it had not been for her help, the Shinra Clan would not have been able to figure out the secret plan of the Changhae Clan.
But why
…was there a feud between the two?
It was strange that there was no discord. Didn’t Gil Seong-joon carry another woman while keeping Shin Seo-yeong as his lover, avoiding her eyes?
Kim Yu-jin could not understand why Shin Seo-yeong loved such a man.
…Should I shake it once?
If you’re lucky, you might be able to recruit Shinpoong.
no. no.
Soon, she denied the idea that came to her mind. Shilla and Shinpung did not match. Recruiting for nothing could cause discord within the clan.
Moreover, Gil Seong-jun will not let < Shinpung > go unnoticed. The relationship between the two will be restored as if it were never before.
…Or is < Shinpung > an unknown story?
Kim Yu-jin did not know what the correct answer was.
☆
[December 17th. Today at 3:00 PM, there was a monster terror attack by mercenary players at Dawn Department Store No. 1. The player, known to the public as < No Name >, led the gang members and spawned up to 40 monsters.
─The Twelve Seats < Shinpung > Shin Seo-yeong suppressed the players who caused the terror with the Shilla Clan–A total of 23 people were killed—-The fairy government expressed condolences to the victims and severely punished the players who caused the terror announced its intention to apply. Some say that the death sentence will be handed down for the first time since the inauguration of the fairy government——.
──Lee Yoon-hee, chairman of Dawn Group, returned from the front line of management and spared no support───.]

Whoa….
Then the man pressed the stop button.
A woman covering herself with a blanket. He had emerald blue eyes and long blond hair.
And a man holding a woman with one hand and supporting a girl with the other shoulder. The man, who was as big as a bear and had a ferocious face, had sparse scars on his forearm that could not be hidden even in low resolution.
