After breaking through the first ordeal of the Proposal, a noticeable change occurred to me.

First of all, the level has risen by one, and the overall stats have also changed.
‘Physical and mental strength are 1 rank, and spiritual power is 2 ranks.’
Considering that a rank of B- or higher cannot be obtained through hard work alone, it was a remarkable achievement.
‘Honestly, I didn’t have great expectations… … .’
If that’s the case, it’s one of the few characters in the original that I know.
In any case, it was the reward I needed the most right now.
‘If it’s an A-rank spiritual power, it’s above average among first-class.’
The lack of spiritual power, which had been counted as one of his weaknesses, has now grown to the point where he can’t go anywhere.
Even the spiritual power of Bari Ok-hwan, who had actually been helped a lot, now feels like a small sheep.

Moreover, all of the things mentioned so far are only visible achievements, but there are other incomes that are greater than that.‘I can’t be sure, but the threshold for growth has greatly increased.’
Obviously, I had a vague sense of insecurity until I took on the ordeal.
It was a clear intuition rather than a downturn, so perhaps in reality, it would have been difficult for me to achieve any more pronounced growth.
But now, that feeling has disappeared all over the place, and it feels like the spiritual power of the whole body is longing for more power.
For me, who had many mountains to climb in the future, it was a joyous thing for me.
‘There were many ups and downs, but most of the immediate goals were achieved with this.’
Just as time passed, it was time for the next chapter of the story to unfold in earnest.
I sent the spiritual power that rose from my hand to the far side of the sky, and slowly stared at the end.
Now, it was my turn to set foot on another stage.
***
Changsha City, Hunan Province, China.
In a place completely destroyed by Hecktail, Xiao Chen, and Drax, former members of the night school, the two factions had a secret meeting.
“You really have come. What kind of safety do you dare to say… … .”
“You don’t have to be so mad. Because Xiao Chen and Hecktail, whom you hated, are also dead.”
“huh. It’s just a shame we didn’t kill it with our own hands.”
All of them present were giants who made a name for themselves in the world one by one.
And so was the group they belonged to.
China’s four military factions and the night school, a wanted group.
The reason the two groups, who seemed to be unable to get along, had a meeting was simple.
“Would you like to hold my hand? I’m utterly exhausted. Have you forgotten what you guys did to China a while ago?”
“Stop looking at the liver. After all, most of the people we killed at the time were members of the Anti-Sagun faction. It would have been more beneficial for you.”
“… … .”
It was certainly not wrong, so Wang Rong, an old man representing the 4th branch of the Sagun faction, shut his mouth.
“… So, what are we talking about?”
“I heard that they are planning some really interesting things there recently.”
“that… … .”
Since the plan is still in the discussion stage, the smuggling of the limited express Chugu Yoyoko Port, which not many people know about.
I don’t know how he knew this, but because of this, Wang Rong had no choice but to hand over the control of the conversation completely to the other party.
“The plan, we help.”
“What good is that to you guys… … ?”
“There was a time when I was annoyed in Korea. Would it make sense if I said it was necessary to deal with him?”
It certainly wasn’t a nonsensical story. Wang Rong was also observantly watching what was happening in Korea through the flow of information.
‘I don’t know, obviously, their plans didn’t go as planned.’
In other words, it must be said that the person who created such a result exists in Korea.
If so, this was not a loss story for Wang Lung and the Sagun faction.
“good night. As long as you don’t gossip, we’ll cooperate.”
“There is no time. Prepare quickly.”
“huh. It’s not your thing to worry about.”
After completing all the tasks like that, Luke and the other companions disappeared in an instant as if they were ghosts.
“Chief, then, let’s start working right away… … Branch manager?”
Looking at Wang Rong, who looked like he had gone crazy, his subordinate asked with a worried look.
At that, Wang Rong opened his mouth softly, looking at my trembling hands as if they were burning with cold.
“Luke Pensalot, you must have been such a monster… … .”
“Isn’t his power so great?”
“Even if three branch managers gather, it will be difficult to handle one. That’s how I felt, so maybe it’s actually more.”
And such Luke Pensalot clearly pointed out someone who would be in Korea as an enemy.
“I don’t know who this is, but he’s a really bad guy.”
In any case, Wang Lung also had to pass this on to other colleagues.
In that way, the night of the Four Guns that dominate China grew deeper and deeper.

“… What a bizarre thing.”
At this time, various countries of the world are literally in turmoil.
It was because strange things began to happen over and over again in all directions, disregarding the peace that had been maintained at all.
The water in the lake dried up overnight, and what was apparently flat until last night was turned into a dense forest.

Moreover, to make matters worse, exorcists from all over the world were speaking with one heart and one accord.It is said that the whole world is overflowing with an amicable energy.
And what that meant was simple.
‘Are you really coming?’
‘Another Baekgwi night trip.’
‘It’s hard to believe, but if you look at the actual situation… … .’
The time has come when no one can utter only hopeful words anymore.
Also, looking at the various precursor symptoms, this time was probably more serious.
Because there has never been a phenomenon that foreshadows such a danger in the Baekgwi and Nightfall incidents that have occurred so far.
“Hey, what kind of hardship awaits… … .”
“People are panicking. Those with wealth are locked in their own shelters.”
“In any case, it is undesirable for this phenomenon to continue.”
The gears of society, which had barely been maintained while passing through the second Baekgwi Nights, were now slowly about to collapse.
It was a difficult task for those in charge of the country.
“Now I have to make a decision.”
As a result, countries around the world began to move in preparation for the upcoming events, and Korea also held a large-scale meeting by inviting the government, headquarters, and members of the famous family.
The conclusion thus reached was simple.
“Declaring the highest level of danger as of this time. After discharging enough supplies, the citizens are evacuated.”
In short, a declaration to focus on defense while almost halting most of the country’s functions.
However, as everyone already knew of the tragedy that took place during the 2nd Baekgwi Night Trip, there was no objection.
‘Up to this point, it is the same as the future I knew.’
I also watched the situation and thoroughly examined the situation.
It was because I had to read the timing of the Chinese Four Army faction’s move and Luke’s intentions.
‘… Xiao Chen should do well.’
Her job was a daunting challenge, but the comforting thing was that others didn’t know about her survival.
Seeing that there hasn’t been a fuss yet, it means that at least she hasn’t done her job wrong, so I have to focus on my role while throwing away all the clutter.
“Is there anything that stands out yet?”
[I think so. If there are any concerns, I will contact you immediately.]
Since it was unknown how the Sagun faction would enter Korea, I had already asked Baek So-yul.
However, it was also true that that alone was not reassuring.
‘I tell you, no matter what happens, it’s not strange.’
That’s why I’ve hired people who will be particularly helpful in this matter.
If things go as I expected, they will probably be the key to the match.
“… junior. I’ll be waiting for you, so go and sleep for a few hours.”
“It’s fine for about four days.”
“Don’t talk, hurry up.”
Worried about me maintaining a tense state in such a situation, Arietta pushed me to the bedroom, taking all means of communication from me.
And while I was sleeping with that consideration, I finally got a call from Baek So-yul.
“… junior. The news is here. I think I found it.”
When he answered the phone in a dreary state, Baek So-yul delivered information that he had found people suspected of being a member of the Sagun faction.
I couldn’t get close because I wanted to get noticed, but even Baek So-yul seemed to have a lot of people who couldn’t guarantee a win.
‘I’m sure.’
Perhaps the members who secretly infiltrated Korea.
And after a while, other members of the Sagun faction, who have been officially transferred, will start to cause various frictions in Korea.
Only by attacking both sides properly can we block their plans and push them back.
“First of all, just keep figuring out where they are. Again, there is no need to rush.”
[Yes. I will do that.]
After finishing my thoughts, I immediately got up from my seat and prepared to move.
‘The first place to go… … .’
It is the side of the three major famous families that will cause friction for the first time as the main force of the Sagun faction passes over.
Anyway, in a situation where even a signal from Xiao Chen has not yet flown in, first of all, it is necessary to lay the paving stones step by step without rushing.
‘Cheongga is already holding up, and in Baekga, Haon Yoo and others are probably staying there.’
So my destination was clear.
It is the Huang family that they target first. First of all, I will hinder their movements there.
‘Is the person in charge of the imperial family surely Wang Long, the 4th branch manager?’
One of the key figures of the Sagun faction, who is quite good at scheming, and whose strength is not formidable.
In the original version, he was a strong enemy who used his abilities to the full, devoured the royal family and threatened Yu Ha-on and the others, but it probably won’t go as planned this time around.
‘I’m sorry.’
Thinking about Wang Rong, who was caught up in all his numbers and fell into chaos, it seemed that a rough future had already been drawn.
And I’m sorry to Wang Rong, but I didn’t mean to treat him in moderation.
From now on, it was a moment when I too had to put away any hesitation and do my best.
“I will go to Hwang Ji-hak.”
“… yes. junior.”
So, finally, the fuse began to catch fire.
