“Guild leader Kim Woong.”
Kim Woong, who was called to the Blue House as soon as he was released due to Jo Young-chan’s sudden action.
Kim Kang-gyun said with a soft expression.
“I called in fear of misunderstanding.”
“If it’s a misunderstanding, what kind of misunderstanding are you talking about?”
“Isn’t that a conspiracy theory? The absurd conspiracy theory that I intentionally caused terrorism. It is true that Director Joe’s nephew has a teleport skill, but that is only what he learned from his family after awakening. It’s just that I didn’t register because I didn’t have enough time to register. But I was wondering if I might have misunderstood that.”
Then Kim Woong, who was silent for a moment, said.
“You mean the misunderstanding that Jo Young-chan is the terrorist who caused the terror?”
“If anyone hears it, it will be really misunderstood. Because it’s never like that… .”
“Where did you get the skill stone?”
Kim Kang-gyun answered with a bewildered expression at Kim Woong’s aggressive question, who was usually polite and always obeyed his boss.
“It was from the family of Director Cho, so up to that point… .”
“Hunters and guilds are hostile to the government. Skill stones are the core assets of such guilds, so it is difficult to obtain them even with money. But, by what means does Chief Cho get a skill stone from such guilds? Besides, if all of those words are true, it means that I first found a skill seat when there was no hunter in the house… Isn’t this too strange?”
Then, on behalf of Kim Kang-gyun, who was embarrassed, Jo Man-cheol came forward and said.
“I bought it from Jeong In, the CEO of development. We bought one as an investment because we are quite close. As you said, it is difficult to obtain even with money, so I thought that there would be no opportunity otherwise. But when Yeongchan suddenly woke up, it was decided that Yeongchan would learn it.”
Jo Man-cheol and Kim Kang-gyun desperately explained how Cho Young-chan learned the skill, but Kim Woong, who had already been rebuked by Yoon Sang-deok, was just terrified.
“… The complainant has already said in advance. Jo Young-chan must have possessed the skills used in the terrorist attack. So, did they even foretell the future?”
Kim Kang-gyun and Jo Man-cheol were bewildered by the fact that they had already been told in advance.
When the worst, most feared situation came, Jo Man-cheol said desperately.
“The reporters are probably them. They attack government officials and are hostile to the government. Of course, you must have known in advance that our family had a teleport skill seat. It’s good if you tie it up with it and it fits, otherwise it’s a flaw in the expression.”
Kim Woong said with a look of disappointment.
“I… I do not know. Who is right and who is false?”
“Guild Leader Kim Woong!”
“If what the reporter said was true, we would have been taken advantage of. And even if Director Cho is right, no matter how much it is for investment purposes, why do you have to give your nephew the skills that were used in terrorism? I do not understand.”
Kim Woong said with a blank expression.
“At first, I was angry. But those who reported it are equally suspicious. Now I will give up trying to figure out what the truth is.”
Kim Woong got up from his seat and said.
“For now, I will be quiet. Until the real truth is hidden. But if you’ve really been taken advantage of… .”
Kim Woong said with an expressionless expression.
“At that time, I may have given up my beliefs.”
Kim Woong left the reception room like that.
Kim Kang-gyun, who had been quietly silent, said in a cold voice.
“What are you going to do now?”
“I’m sorry, President. Since there was nothing wrong with my brother, I thought he was threatening Yeongchan in that way… .”
“Am I asking for an excuse now!? You didn’t install a thermal imaging camera!?”
The only alternative to transparency is thermal imaging cameras.
“… sorry. I have it installed… .”
“You still couldn’t stop it?!”
“A precision camera analysis showed that knives and cameras appeared and disappeared in mid-air. Probably using a telekinesis-type skill… .”
“His skill skill skill!!!”
Kim Kang-gyun said, grinding his teeth.
“I am going to fix it somehow. Somehow!!!”
“sorry. I will fix it somehow.”
“Where is Jo Young-chan?”
“… I was sent down to Dangjin.”
Dangjin was the only one who succeeded in stopping the assailant.
Nevertheless, the reason why the hideout was kept in a secret place was because he was still not sure about Jung In-soo.
However, there was no other alternative in the yard where even the secret house had already been opened.
“The opposition will probably continue to bite.”
It’s strange that he was caught just one day after waking up, but even the nephew of the President’s closest confidant who possesses the teleport skill used in terrorism.
This was a big issue that Kim Kang-gyun would unconditionally hold on to if he was in the position of the opposition party.
“I would say that it is not unconditionally. There’s no evidence anyway. Besides, once Guild Leader Kim Woong has not completely turned around, we have a chance to win if we continue to push the guilds based on that and then raise the approval rating.”
“What if that doesn’t work?”
The president mentioned the worst.
Jo Man-cheol swallowed dry saliva and said.
“If that happens… I will take over everything.”
In the end, the last resort is to cut off the tail.
A law that can be defended even a little from the investigation that may arise in the future if even the president survives.
“Hey, it’s already spilled. I can’t pick it up and hold it… First of all, we never know.”
* * *
The skills of the chief of staff’s nephew really hit the political arena.
When the president became popular, the opposition party, which was desperate and desperate, started an all-out offensive with the desire to do it this time.
Terrorist allegations erupted day after day, and videos of the terror at that time, which had been quiet for a while, circulated, and various conspiracy theories began to be mass-produced explosively.
Terrorism stopped when the Kim Kang-gyun regime took office, and even rumors related to the Hanmu Guild.
The response of the Kim Kang-gyun administration to this was always the same.

Misunderstood
It’s just a coincidence.
Jo Young-chan has recently awakened, and it is only recently that he has acquired the skill.
The ruling party also desperately denies these conspiracy theories to protect the president, and the public also argues accordingly, and Korea has fallen into a chaos.
The guild, politics, and even the general public are literally in chaos across the country with differing opinions.
“I keep getting calls.”
Kim Woong’s name appeared on the screen of the phone that Yoon Sang-deok lifted.
“Don’t take it.”
The more Kim Woong gets confused, the more confused the situation becomes.
If we get out of here, the government will collapse too quickly.
You have to tug-of-war in moderation.
“All right.”
I stretched out and said.
“Um, that’s good.”
It is truly spectacular to see everyone in chaos as in the picture I drew.
The feeling of controlling everything with my fingers was the best.
“Shall we make the actors appear soon?”
The reason I made Jo Young-chan not to expose the facts about terrorism is simple.
To give the government, not me, a chance to address weaknesses directly.
That way, the government will see the compromise to the point where it will not collapse as much as possible.
“Just start in a week. That’s when you’re in the middle of nowhere.”
“All right.”

“It’s strange for anyone to see!”
There was a heated discussion among the friends who had gathered at the local pub.
“Aren’t the skills used in terrorism someone else’s nephew? Does this make sense?”
Then a friend of the pro-government party said:
“It must be a coincidence. Besides, it wasn’t something the state officials found out after receiving a report and catching it. The government is not an idiot, and will he reveal his secrets?”
“That’s what you don’t know. Maybe it’s because there are people in the government who want to reveal the truth.”
A friend of the pro-government party said with a determined expression.
“Anyway, there is no accurate evidence, but I don’t think it’s really true that people are already being driven like this. I don’t know if it was in the past, but now, I’ve unlocked a lot of skills. With only one skill… .”
“Still, doubtful is doubtful!”
That’s when I was discussing it with my friends.
“uh?”
A friend who was looking at his cell phone said with a surprised expression.
“what’s this.”
“What?”
“Is this a video of Kim Kang-gyun’s revelation?”
“What!?”
When a friend picked up his phone and pressed the play button, a man who had his voice altered, bowed his head in the video and said:
-hello. I am here today to make a declaration of conscience.
“A declaration of conscience?”
-I am a Hunter. And he is one of the main causes of terrorism, which has recently gained attention again due to the case of the nephew of the chief of staff.
All of my friends were shocked at that.
“Te, a terrorist!?”
“You just said it with your own mouth. Is not it?!”
– To give my excuses, I just did what I was told to give them skills. At that time, the skill was the best way to increase the value of the hunter himself, and it is still the same today. Anyway, I started terrorism under someone’s direction. I knew it was wrong, but at the time, I was blinded by greed and committed such things.
Then the pro-government friend hurriedly said:
“Hey, that’s just a claim! He didn’t even reveal his identity!!”
– One thing is for sure. Someone gave me instructions for the election, and I faithfully followed those instructions. Of course, it will be more certain if I reveal my face and present evidence… sorry. I can’t tell you everything, as revealing too much information can reveal who I am. Because I’m under threat… . The reason I decided to expose today is because I want to let the world know about such a threat.
“Oh oh!!”
-I thought that this would reduce the threat even a little. What… From start to finish, in the end, I make a selfish choice. Anyway, I’ll end it here. Please make a wise decision.
The video ended with those words.
A friend said with excitement.
“Isn’t that it? After giving the manager’s nephew a skill to cause a terrorist attack, the effect was good, so I collected more skill stones and took the hunters and caused a terrorist attack. But these days, it’s becoming a problem, so I’m removing them all. That’s why I’m under threat.”
Then the pro-government friend said with a puzzled expression.
“This isn’t a double year, what is removal? Does that make sense?”
“Why not? To be honest, even if people die in the dungeon, the reality is that we don’t know whether people killed them or monsters.”
A friend of the pro-government party, who was desperately defending like that, sighed and said.
“Aww, I don’t even know what it is anymore!!”
* * *
The video of the self-proclaimed terrorist went down in an instant, but it has already been circulated by people.
Kang-gyun Kim exclaimed in fury.
“These bastards!!!”
In the first place, there was only one person who caused the terrorist attack, Jo Young-chan.
But suddenly a video of himself as a terrorist appears?
Of course, this was manipulation.
Even though the person in this video called himself a hunter, he did not prove that he was a real hunter, let alone skills.
Kim Kang-gyun said with a puzzled expression.
“What? Threats to your life? This is absurd… .”
The problem was that not one or two people believed this video.
Now, the situation was the worst, with people even protesting to reveal the truth.
If someone had spread this video without any warning, it would have been dismissed as one of the conspiracy theories and buried, but now, because of Jo Young-chan, many people are obsessed with the theory behind the government’s terrorism.
“You believe in this?”
“that is… .”
Jo Man-cheol said in a cautious voice.
“Combined with conspiracy theories, the rumors are further corrupted.”
The biggest factor that the Hanmu Guild was framed was skill, but one of the conspiracy theories at the time was that there was a group of hunters that Kim Kang-gyun secretly owned.
A conspiracy theory that reversed the atmosphere by causing terror through them.
And the target was the Hanmu Guild with the same skills used for terrorism.
“Now there are even rumors that the person in that video belongs to the Hanmoo Guild… .”
“I beg your pardon?!”
There was a similar conspiracy theory at the time when the Hanmu Guild was freed from the frame and recruited for a national position.
A conspiracy theory that he used the Hanmu guild to cause terrorism, and when the Hanmu guild was investigated, he silenced it and sent it under him.
Kim Kang-gyun said as he hit the table.
“Catch the guy who made this video right now! Do not choose any means possible!”
But then.
“President!!”
An employee of the Blue House outside shouted in an urgent voice.
“National Hunters have declared a strike!!”
At those words, Kang-gyun Kim said as he hit the table with his head.
“Why are they even making a fuss here!!!”
Then, Kang-gyun Kim raised his head and said.
“no way… Woong Kim? Was Kim Woong’s son leading the strike?”
Kim Woong, who had already begun to doubt.
And the strike that started shortly after.
“Ahh!!”
Kang-gyun Kim exclaimed.
“Nothing is working right. Why the hell?!”
* * *
“Calm down, calm down.”
At the words of Kim Woong, the hunters who started the strike shouted.
“We will strike indefinitely until the truth is revealed!”
“right!! There is no guarantee that we will be safe even though we have received personal threats!!”
Hundreds of national hunters protest.
The problem was that even the Hanmu Guild, who had to command and control them, had no motivation to stop them.
“Huh, shall I just go on strike together?”
At the words of one guild member, the other guild members unconsciously nodded their heads.
“If the allegations are true… We’re just being taken advantage of. Besides, they recently pointed out us as the culprit, do we really have to live like this?”
Kim Woong, who normally would have read through these guild members and actively tried to organize the situation.
But even such Kim Woong was just repeating the words to calm down without a soul with an open eye.
Then a guild member said to Kim Woong.
“Guild Master.”
“yes.”
“Anyway, let’s just leave. That’s a good excuse! The government is being questioned because of us! I will go out for the government!”
Kim Woong, who normally would have answered with a smile.
But today’s Kim Woong was completely different.
“Is that so… ?”
“… yes?”
The guild member was rather embarrassed when Kim Woong, who he thought would laugh at him, suddenly sympathized with him.
“Hey, guild leader. it’s okay?”
“Then is it all over? I don’t know anymore either. What is right and what is wrong?”
Kim Woong, who worked hard all his life to live the right path.
But even such a belief was of no use in a situation where he couldn’t even figure out what was the right path.
Kim Woong said while looking at the sky with a blank expression.
“I wish someone would tell me too.”
* * *
flood of information.
But the truth contained in that flood of information is only 10%.
The ruling and opposition parties are busy blocking and attacking each other, and the guilds are preparing to counterattack again when the government is in a hurry and goes on strike even for the national office.
“Everyone is out of their minds.”
When things get to this point, people are no longer looking for what the truth is, but rather what information is in their favor.
and claim that it is right.
why?
Because no one knows the truth anyway.
And it’s the same with me who made this board.
Now, out of the leaked information, only the ones that are beneficial to me are selected and the government chooses them.
“Let’s get it all sorted out.”
The long and lengthy operation ends here.
Now it’s time to finish everything.
I picked up my cell phone and called Jo Man-cheol.
-… Yes, Mr. Jung.
“I have been watching quietly. Thought I’d fix it somehow. You doubted me and avoided me, so I was even quieter. But now it’s difficult. If all of this happens, I won’t be able to be safe either.”
– Why are you like that, even CEO Jung? Even if I don’t, I can’t make up my mind.
“I’m calling to help.”
-… Help?
“Yes, I’m requesting a solo session with the president.”
I said in a confident voice.
“Do you want to end this chaotic situation somehow?”
