Clive headed to the headquarters of the Jungin group, thinking that even the Night Guild should get rid of the charges first.
However, the guild leaders of the other two British guilds were already waiting in the meeting room of the Jeong-in group, who arrived at the guidance.
‘These cubs… .’
Everyone had the same thoughts and gathered together.
The idea that only they should be freed from the charges.
Clive said after being silent for a moment.
“First of all, we are not. We’ve also made sure it’s secure, and above all, there’s no reason why we should.”
When Clive, the last to arrive, hit the players and came out, the two guild leaders said with a rage.
“It’s the same with us!”
“Are you stealing information because I’m crazy?”
Clive said while looking at one of the guild leaders.
“Come to think of it, the guild leader of the guild that succeeded in conquering the dungeon in England. I heard that you and I are friends.”
Then the designated guild leader said with a bewildered expression.
“When the hell are you talking about? In the early days of the dungeon, we were on the same team for a while!”
“Anyway, it’s a friend we were with in the early days and the guild leader of the same high-level guild, so it’s not going to be close.”
When Clive attacked one person, the remaining guild leaders who had been quiet came out to help.
“That’s plausible. They stole the information and sold it to a friend… .”
The guild leader, angry at the two guild masters’ pincer attacks, said to the other guild leader.
“That one. Didn’t a guild member get into an argument with a hunter from another country a while ago?”
Then the guild leader, who was slightly helped and counterattacked, said with a bewildered expression.
“What does that have to do with this?”
“Why doesn’t it matter?”
The guild leader said with a sarcastic expression.
“I am talking about how well a guild that can’t manage one guild member would have done well if they managed information well.”
“Are you insulting us now!”
As the two guild leaders began to slander each other, Clive thought with a smile.
‘Yes, you two fight. If it’s not for us, that’s enough.’
no.
Rather, it would be better for both of them to disappear.
Then the Night Guild will take over everything.
As the guild leaders were arguing with each other, someone opened the door to the conference room and came in.
“Nice to meet you, guild leaders.”
It was the appearance of Jeong In-soo they had been waiting for.
Jeong In-soo, who sat on the chair in the conference room, looked at the guild leaders and said.
“then. Let the story begin.”
* * *
“This is the guild leader and his friend… .”
“That one is… .”
As soon as the meeting started, the guild leaders slandered each other and desperately insisted that they were not themselves.
It was natural.
If the charges are overwritten here and the contract is terminated, any additional contracts will not be available in the future.
I nodded and said.
“I knew what you two were saying.”
I said to the head of the Clive Guild.
“Do you have anything to say, Chief of the Clive Guild?”
Then Clive said with a determined expression.
“First of all, we have managed to prevent guild members from going outside. Not to mention information. As per the contract, the materials you handed over exist only as originals and no copies have been made.”
“okay.”
I closed my eyes for a moment and pretended to be worried.
“We have listened to all of your comments. Then you will definitely agree with this one thing.”
I looked at the guild leaders and said.
“Information leaked to the UK.”
Even with the strategy information, it takes at least a week to defeat the new boss.
Of course, if you catch the boss, build up your skills, and equip yourself with that material, the time will of course get shorter and shorter, but that’s a story later.
“I agree.”
“I struggled so much even though I knew the strategy, but without knowing the strategy, I did it so quickly… .”
I said with a firm expression.
“First of all, I will do a full investigation of your accommodation and guild members. If an abnormality is found in a specific guild as a result of the investigation, the contract for that guild will be automatically terminated. After that, the rest of the guilds can return to their daily lives.”
At my words, the guild leaders nodded and said.
“Of course it is.”
“If you break the contract, you have to pay the price.”
I looked at those guild leaders and said.
“But, if, really, if you don’t find any abnormalities at all… .”
Hue is the goat
Guild leaders looking at me with nervous expressions.
“I’m sorry, but the contract for all three guilds will be terminated according to the contract.”
Based on the fact that the attack information was transferred from China to North Korea, I had put all kinds of poison clauses in the contract.
One of them was leaked, so even if it is just a ‘guess’, it is possible for me to unilaterally cancel it.
It was possible because he was in an absolute position that could not be compared with anyone in the initial information of the dungeon.
The guild leaders got up from their seats with a shocked expression and said.
“Come on, wait a minute. All?!”
“We didn’t do it, isn’t it too much?”
Clive said with an urgent expression.
“We are absolutely not! Would you do something that would harm our guild just because I was crazy!”
The other two guild leaders agreed with Clive’s words.
“you’re right!”
“Unless you are insane… .”
I said looking at the guild leaders who were protesting.
“Everyone, do you know why I put strict conditions on the contract?”
I said with an expressionless face.
“There is no other way than that. A guild presumed to have stolen information from the UK right now. Can I really be blamed?”
Then Clive hesitated.
“that… .”
“I can’t ask.”
There are no patents, and no intellectual property rights are recognized.
In the absence of evidence, the guild attacked it by its own power, so there is nothing to do if you cry.
“It’s not just that. No matter how thoroughly you manage these many guilds, how do you prevent them from being stolen? It cannot be blamed, nor can it be completely prevented. So this is what I chose. Instead of putting on strict contract terms, guaranteeing them an advantage if they comply with the contract.”
After acquiring the strategy information exclusively, it is the freedom of the guild to decide how much and when to release the strategy information to their home country.
And the guild takes huge profits in the process.
Then Clive nodded and said.
“No, that’s right. That’s what I mean! If we have to protect our security, our profits are also guaranteed, and there is no way we can take it out of our hands!”
I shook my head and said.
“That is not the point of the story now. In terms of who will lose how much, is there anyone here who is more at a loss than me?”
Then, the guild leaders shut their mouths like honey-eaten idiots.
Of course.
On the surface, it is me who is most angry and suffers the most from the current situation.
“This is the crux of my story. The contract takes precedence over anything else. The party who violates the contract must pay the price for it, regardless of the reason. So that.”
I said with a cold expression.
“Because I’m going to be an example, and I’m going to make sure the rest don’t come up with crazy ideas. That way, I’m going to lose a little less. Of course, in the process, unfair cases will come out, but it is unavoidable. I don’t know of any more reliable way than this.”
Then Clive rolled her eyes.
“Ho, maybe someone else has trapped us?”
“It’s a trap… .”
“I don’t know exactly… maybe you don’t know Besides, if we had tried to steal it, we would have hid it better.
pretty accurate
Of course, that doesn’t change anything.
In the first place, I dig a trap and investigate it because it’s a go-stop.
I nodded and said.
“I will take that into consideration and investigate. In any case, we ask for your active cooperation.”
* * *
Thus, a complete investigation into the three guilds began.
We conducted all possible investigations, including CCTV installed in the dormitory where they were staying and their belongings.
and.
“That, so… .”
In the process, it was revealed that a guild member was using a separate cell phone other than the one provided by the Jungin group.
I said looking at the guild member.
“It must be clear that only the mobile phones specified in the contract are to be used.”
Then the guild member said in a crawling voice.
“I got it as a gift from my girlfriend. Saying you don’t want your girlfriend to be monitored… .”
A guild member who tells the story of the past.
“So… This is the girlfriend I met here. Are you saying this?”
“you’re right. It really is! It’s been a while since we’ve seen each other and we’ve just been communicating on this phone!”
While feeling bored with the hectic life in Korea, a guild member meets a female hunter from England.
The guild member quickly became close with the female hunter and became friends, but the female hunter said that she did not want her privacy to be monitored and bought a cell phone to contact the guild member, and that cell phone was the phone in question.
The guild leader said in an urgent voice.
“Chairman Jung, you are doing this without your knowledge because you are young. Can’t you just skip it once? It wasn’t that we leaked strategy information, was it?”
“As you said, after checking, there was nothing strange about it. The text messages we exchanged were just conversations between ordinary couples.”
I said looking around my phone.
“Well, I understand. Living in a foreign country for a long time and making a girlfriend. That’s enough. However, using a phone other than the designated one is already a breach of contract.”
“Come on, wait… .”
I interrupted the guild chief and said.
“I also noticed something strange about this phone.”
I said pointing to my phone.
“The timeframes for texts and calls are very consistent. They always call me only in the evening.”
Then the guild member said with a bewildered expression.
“That’s because your girlfriend can only contact you at that time!”
“Didn’t your girlfriend call you a Hunter? Is there any other job where commuting to and from work is as inaccurate as Hunter? However, I can only contact you at a certain time… Besides, crucially.”
I waved my phone and said.
“I have been contacting my girlfriend since the time this cell phone was confiscated, but I have not been able to reach her. To be precise, I should say that the cell phone is turned off.”
The guild member opened his eyes wide and said.
“Hey, what does that mean? Is your cell phone off?”
“Have you ever contacted your girlfriend?”
“That’s because I was so frantically interviewed with the guild leader and called around… .”
I handed the phone to the guild member and said.
“Try it yourself. Let’s see, it’s always time to keep in touch.”
The guild member, who picked up the phone like that, called his girlfriend.
However.
-Your phone is turned off, so… .
“Hey, can’t this be?”
Since then, I have called 5 times, but my girlfriend’s phone is still off.
I took the phone from the guild member again and said.
“As you can see, there is not one or two strange things in the circumstances.”
The guild leader hesitated for a while and said.
“Well, there was nothing strange about it… .”
“I don’t know. It may have been erased.”
I handed the phone to the secretary and said.
“Submit an analysis request to a forensic company.”
“All right. President.”
I said looking at the guild chief.
“Anyway, a breach is a breach and the contract will be terminated.”
The guild leader was furious and said.
“No, at the very least, isn’t it too much to say that you have been in contact with your girlfriend?”
“If there is nothing as a result of the analysis, we will omit the contract ineligibility clause for the next dungeon. This is the last consideration I can give you.”
The contract termination is confirmed, and it is now decided whether the next contract is possible or not depending on the result.
The guild leader bit his lip and said.
“shit… .”
I’m angry, but what can I do?
If I burst into anger here, I’ll fly away until the next opportunity.
“But if the analysis reveals something… Of course, there will be a claim for compensation for the damage I suffered.”
“Whoa.”
The guild leader looked at the guild member and said.
“Really not?”
“of course! Are you going to leak it outside because I’m crazy!?”
The guild leader looked at me again and said.
“Let’s talk again after the analysis is over. I can assure you one hundred percent nothing.”
Well.
Is that true?
I thought to myself, smiling.
‘Goodbye. sacrificial lamb.’
* * *
The results of the analysis were shocking.
There was nothing special about the text, but I found an ID and password that seemed to have been automatically saved and deleted, and the email I logged in using it was full of monster information.
“Every time you communicate with your girlfriend, you send monster information by e-mail. Contact with your girlfriend was a signal. A signal that information has been sent.”
At my words, the guild leader looked at the guild member with a cold expression and said.
“you… Is it real?”
The guild member ran wildly on the road and said.
“I, absolutely not! This is a conspiracy!! I’ve never even looked at an email like that!!”
That’s right.
That girlfriend came to Korea to enjoy gambling, and she was a hunter who was absorbed in the Black Lake, and when the hunter handed over the phone to the guild member, all the work had already been done.
In other words, this guild member suddenly became a spy disguised as a romance.
The sweet conversation with his girlfriend became the spy’s secret code.
“It seems certain that information has been transferred to the UK through this person.”
At my words, the guild member shouted as if screaming.
“Not really me! Boo, obviously someone has intervened in the analysis process!! Or maybe you got me into a trap!”
“Analysis is fine. Our staff was there 24 hours a day.”
The guild member pleaded with the guild leader and said.
“I feel really sorry for the guild leader. I am not that person!”
Then the guild leader, who was silent, said:
“Chairman Jung.”
“Yes.”
“Even if he’s a jerk, he’s not one to betray me. Clearly this has been rigged. girl friend… So, this means that the spy who approached our guild member gave him a rigged cell phone. And I purposely made it so that I only contacted them at that time to meet the timing.”
right.
did that
However.
“Evidence? And why did they do that?”
At my words, the guild leader said with a firm expression.
“that… .”
Such inferences are meaningless unless there is a way to prove them.
“If it was an individual deviation from the guild members, it would be very unfair from the guild leader’s point of view, but now that the results are out, there is nothing we can do about it. The contract is terminated. And it will be excluded from additional contracts in the future.”
“The story is not over yet. The first priority is to make it clear whether it is manipulation or not.”
I said in a calm voice.
“I will take care of that. I’m already tracking the person called that girlfriend. But that’s it and this is this. I have no intention of working with a suspicious person.”
Then the guild leader walked towards me with scorching eyes and said,
“Unless it is clear that it was a hoax, I will never admit it… .”
But then.
Clive of the Night Guild intervened between me and the guild leader.
“Are you sure you are not trying to threaten Chairman Chung?”
“Clive… .”
“As an Englishman, it’s embarrassing. If you’re wrong, just admit it and go away. Don’t let us spark sparks.”
Then the rest of the guild leaders also stood next to Clive and said.
“It’s sympathetic.”
The other two guilds drive the guild under suspicion.
It was exactly the picture I wanted.
Driving the guild to blame, not me.
The pictures are even more beautiful when the same British guilds help out.
I said looking at the guild chief.
“You have worked hard.”
“Ugh.”
“It turns out that exactly 3 of the 6 types of boss monsters I handed over were leaked. I don’t know what the guild members were getting paid for, but I hope they recover it well.”
I said with a smile.
“Because the bill to fly from our side will be very expensive.”
* * *
“I’m glad things went well. Chairman Jung. haha.”
Clive and the other guild leaders seem really happy.
That’s right.
‘Cause if it’s not you, it’s over
The evidence that it was different from the guild presumed to have used the strategy in England is clear, so now that the guild will not be able to terminate the contract, so a claim for damages will be entered.
I looked at the guild leaders and said.
“We will be looking for a new British guild to sign a contract soon. Of course, the guild will start with one.”
The information is unlocked sequentially in a fixed order.
In other words, the two guilds can gain a relative advantage by leaving that guild.
Then Clive said with a worried expression.
“But what if I hold a grudge and throw out the other three kinds? If that happens, Chairman Chung’s loss would be enormous.”
I sighed and said.
“Hey, what are you going to do? It’s my fault for signing the wrong contract. For now, I will try to hold on to time while keeping my feet in Korea as much as possible.”
Let the guild stay in Korea as much as possible to prevent that guild from taking advantage of the 6 boss monster attack information.
Whether it’s a legal dispute or whatever, using whatever is available.
“But, well, there are still a lot of boss monsters. It hurts my bones, but not enough to disrupt the mainstream.”
I looked at the two guild leaders and said.
“We plan to further strengthen security for the time being, so we ask for your understanding.”
“That is not natural. We will also control ourselves. Let this never happen again.”
Clive promises to prevent recurrence.
But do they know?
that this is just the beginning.
Heukho’s full-fledged activity starts now.
I said with a smile.
“I believe. Guild leaders.”
