It really wasn’t Lao Huang’s fault; he hadn’t made the situation like that. He had just gone there to wrap things up in his own way. Sun Lin continued, “Don’t take the responsibility for it alone. It’s okay to give him 100,000 gold. No, maybe even 200,000 gold would be fine? It isn’t a big sum.”
An amount of 100,000 or 200,000 gold wasn’t a big deal for Dujieng. The money earned in Dujieng’s name was several times more than that daily.
“You did nothing wrong. The guild members were just acting according to our instructions. The only problem is that the location was Phinis, Alley Leader’s territory. He was also present at the time,” Sun Lin said.
Then he raised Lao Huang’s head, revealing the latter’s gloomy and stiff face.
“Let me ask you one thing, Lao Huang.” Sun Lin wanted to ask Lao Huang a question.
It was only that Lao Huang opened his mouth: “What is it?”
“Alley Leader. How strong is he? Is he as strong as he seems in the videos and rumors?”
Lao Huang thought back to a few hours ago, recalling the shameful moment when he ran away after being robbed of 100,000 gold.
“There is more to him than what is known. He is actually much stronger than what we see in the footage. It might be more appropriate to think of him as a human-type boss monster.” Lao Huang bit his lips. Even now, Alley Leader’s presence was clear in Lao Huang’s mind. Alley Leader was a monster hidden behind a mischievous mask.
‘It is the first time I’ve ever felt like this.’
Alley Leader was a person who should never be touched—absolutely never.

Hyeonu returned to the workshop with a reassured heart after receiving 100,000 gold. Yet he soon sighed.
‘How am I supposed to repair those buildings...?’
He didn’t know when Lebron was coming, so Hyeonu had to deal with the repairs as quickly as possible. However, there were too many broken buildings for Hyeonu to fix in the near future.
‘It might be different if only one or two were broken...’
If one or two buildings were damaged, he could just destroy and rebuild them. The problem was that only one or two buildings in the western shopping district were mostly destroyed. The rest just had small breaks, but there were too many affected buildings.
‘I can’t let him go to the western district.’
It couldn’t be helped. There was only one solution—prevent Lebron from going to the western shopping district.
“Have the two of you resolved it?”
Seeing that, Hyeonu clicked his tongue. Anyone who saw this scene would think that only Edchan resolved it.
“Then I’m glad.”
Nevertheless, Hyeonu didn’t show it on the surface. He just nodded knowingly.
“Did your matter go well? It looked pretty urgent.”
“You knew?”
“Anyone would know when you went out in such a hurry. Don’t you think so, Tresha?” Edchan turned to look at Tresha. Tresha just silently lowered his head.
“If there is anything I can do, I will help. After all, you will be taking care of this guy for a year,” Edchan said.
Hearing that, Hyeonu felt an illusion of light was floating in front of him.
‘If it is a dwarf... it might be possible.’
Moreover, there wasn’t just one but two dwarves. They should be enough to restore the buildings.
“Can you perhaps repair buildings? It isn’t a big construction...” Hyeonu’s words trailed off. In other games, dwarves were all-rounders, but there was no guarantee it would be the same in Arena. However, Hyeonu’s worry was groundless.
“Repair buildings? That is very easy. Do you have any building materials left?” Edchan responded like it was simple.
Hyeonu was very happy about this. “Yes, there should be some materials left.”
‘Surely there wouldn’t be none?’ The construction was just completed, so he naturally thought materials would still remain. He didn’t think that he had only bought just enough.
“Really? Then do you have gold?”
“Huh? Gold? Of course, I have it...”
“The dwarves’ special repair solution contains gold. Moreover, it requires quite a lot. Instead, the effect is excellent, so you don’t have to worry.”

‘What a terrible thing...’
Hyeonu was frightened by Edchan’s bizarre behavior. It was definitely the dwarves’ special repair solution, but then what was this sight? Hyeonu called Johnny and asked him to deliver the building materials Edchan requested to the workshop. In the first place, the warehouse was close to the workshop, which was because the most commonly used materials were needed by the workshop. As the building materials were gathered, Edchan started to melt different materials in each of the three furnaces. Then he generously poured the gold that Hyeonu handed him into the furnaces.
Edchan puffed up his chest and declared with pride, “This is the special repair solution of our tribe. Just apply it well to the broken area, and the building will be repaired automatically.”
Seeing this scene, Hyeonu felt a rush of stress and was on the verge of holding the back of his neck. ‘How much gold is that...?’
The amount of gold that Edchan poured into the furnace was close to 30,000 gold.
‘I didn’t expect it to use so much...’ Hyeonu never imagined that Edchan would pour in so much gold. 30,000 gold was used to repair the buildings. Of course, it would save time, unless Edchan’s description was false.
‘It can’t be a lie. In any case, I’ll find out soon,’ Hyeonu thought.
Still, a waste was a waste. So what about the 100,000 gold he had just earned?
‘I just have to try it.’
Hyeonu placed the completed repair solution in his inventory and headed to the western shopping district where the broken buildings were located.
