“Boss, what happened with you?” Kale asked Jamie, who was sitting next to him with a curious look. Kale had no idea what was going on. He was referring to the conversation Jamie had on the plane when they came to South Korea. It was natural that Kale didn’t know since Jamie had handled it alone.
“I contacted Quency first. I also reported it to the South Korean prosecutor’s office. Things have become interesting. Very interesting,” Jamie said.
Kale cocked his head. ‘Interesting? Is this something that can be interesting?’
It was a serious matter. It couldn’t be called interesting. So he asked, “What does that mean? Interesting?”
“I think there is at least one Arena fan among the prosecutors. I didn’t have any evidence, but he said he had enough evidence. He was pretty happy to receive the documents I sent. I think the Korean side will be shut down soon. Then it will be hard for the involved parties in the other countries to avoid the blade. After that, Quency won’t be able to hesitate.”
Kale asked with an expression of disbelief, “Really? So he was already suspicious...”
“I was also really surprised. Then I heard his story, and it made sense. He could see that the players suddenly lost only when a certain game came out. It’s too strange to be called a jinx. It was just a vague feeling, but as a result, the prosecutor was right.”
“He has great senses. Really.”
Jamie smiled after hearing Kale’s words. “I also think so, Kale. I was so impressed that I still remember the prosector’s name. Kim Junsik, prosecutor of the First Advanced Criminal Investigation Department.”

In one of the restaurants in downtown Yuanyang, Hyeonu opened the map and gazed at it.
“Where should we go, Tang-E?”
Hyeonu was setting a destination. To be precise, he was choosing a stopover location. He had one destination—the capital of the Yuxin Empire. There, he had to meet the emperor of the Yuxin and deliver the diplomatic letter he brought, as well as receive an answer.
‘The problem is that I can’t go there without doing anything...’
It was a waste of time to just travel there, and it was no different from having no content.
‘Where can I suck up honey? There’s no information on it.’
Just then, the eating Tang-E said, “Then how about going to that mountain? There will be wild boar or grilled fish. It feels good there.”
Manhua Mountain—it was the name of the place where Tang-E said the boar had been cooked. The Chonghua Sect and Qing Feng were also over there.
‘Ah!’
As Hyeonu’s thoughts reached here, some words passed through his mind.
‘The Gucheon Secret Department... Buncheonru!’
‘It might not be the main scenario, but it has the same smell.’
Hyeonu had experience doing this type of quest in the fifth main scenario. It was the confrontation he had with Alkyl, who had been aiming for the emperor’s throne.
‘It is because the Gucheon Secret Department is a similar dark force.’
Perhaps the quest progress would be similar. At that time, it had been easy to get through because he had a cheat key—Sunny. However, Hyeonu had to do everything with his own strength this time.
“Yes, let’s go to the mountain and eat wild boar, Tang-E,” Hyeonu replied after a while.
Tang-E didn’t care about where they were going. He only cared that he would once again be able to eat wild boar, which had a fantastic taste. “Master is the best!”

Manhua Mountain wasn’t far from Yuanyang.
‘In the first place, Mount Nam was close to Mount Cheon.’
It just took time to get there because Hyeonu had to move around on foot.
“There are no monsters here. Why call me, Master dude?” Tang-E spoke in an excited manner from Hyeonu’s back.
Tang-E felt good that he didn’t have to fight, so he couldn’t help getting comfortable.
“Tang-E, aren’t I good? It isn’t fun to fight, but it is fun to run around with you.”
Hyeonu, on the other hand, was running directly to his destination. Due to the nature of the East Continent, there was only a small number of fields, so the areas where monsters appeared were quite limited. Of course, there were no opponents who were a match for him even if he wanted to fight to relieve his stress.
“Bah, Master dude doesn’t know romance. You are uncivilized, uncivilized,” Tang-E condemned Hyeonu.
“Then would you like to run in the dust? How about it?” Hyeonu struck back without losing.
Right now, Hyeonu was in the superior position as Tang-E was being carried because he didn’t want to run in the dirt. In the end, Tang-E ended up apologizing, “I’m sorry, Master. I will be quiet.”
An awkward silence was just about to flow between the two people when Tang-E thumped Hyeonu’s head.
“Master dude, someone’s over there. If you’re bored, how about going there?” Tang-E pointed to a fast-running group.
Judging by their luxurious fabrics, they didn’t seem to be commoners.
‘Nobles?’
Yet there weren’t enough decorations on the clothes for them to be nobles.
‘They look like warriors.’
The warriors of the East Continent were a mix of the knights and mercenaries of the West Continent. The warriors were more systematic than mercenaries and freer than knights.
“Yes, let’s go and take a look. If not, it can’t be helped. It will be good if it works out.” Hyeonu followed Tang-E’s suggestion as Hyeonu also liked traveling with people rather than alone.
Hyeonu approached them cautiously, silencing himself when he was still a long distance away. Nonetheless, as he approached, he deliberately made some sounds, little by little. As Hyeonu intended, one of the group grasped Hyeonu’s movements and opened his mouth, “Who are you?”
