“Have you thought about it?”
Yoon Sang-deok nodded at my words and said.
“Yes. I thoroughly excluded the Jung-in group and only thought about it from the point of view of the black tiger.”
The conflict between Heukho and Jeongin.
In order to produce this most perfectly, both sides must move thoroughly considering their position.
But both of them are my precious assets, so where can I get my hands on that?
So, what I came up with was a way to separate the roles from Yoon Sang-deok and exchange them one by one as if in a bush.
Yoon Sang-deok is a black man and I am a Jeong-in group.
“First of all, the contents of the three boss monsters have already been released. Now, adding up to the remaining three, up to six are the unleashed and potentially unleashed strategy information identified by the Jeong-in group.”
Yoon Sang-deok said as he wrote his plan on a piece of paper.
“In other words, up to this point, it doesn’t matter if you move as much as Jeong-in group is predicting. After all, all the sins will be covered by the guild who is found out.”
I nodded and said.
“It is correct. Keep going.”
“But I intend to move slowly. Undoing all 6 too suddenly can make the Jungin group difficult, but it is a loss for the long term. So, like Jeongin Group, we will provide them sequentially to guilds that have started trading with us. To keep pace with the Jung-in group. In that way, the group moves at the same speed as the movement of Jung-in, and when all six are finally released… .”
Yoon Sang-deok looked at me and said.
“From then on, I will wait. The more unraveling here is to let the Jungin group know that the information is being leaked elsewhere. In that way, we wait for the Jung-in group to release more information about the boss monster with peace of mind, and then release the information little by little again when the gap widens.”
In a word, like the minor version of the Jungin group, we will release the information a little later.
“Information, as always, becomes money the faster you go. Why do you deliberately release it slowly?”
“It’s true if we’re going to get hit and miss, but we plan to use Jeongin’s group in the long run. The Jung-in group will continue to release information only when it is beneficial to them. If we push too hard and let go of our hand, it’s only us that loses. So, from the perspective of the Jung-in group, we are adjusting it to a level where we cannot do this or that. Besides, this is more advantageous for security.”
Yoon Sang-deok said with a smile.
“If most guilds unlock the content they have already secured, all the guilds that have signed a contract with the Jungin group will be on the suspect line.”
All guilds differ according to the contract period in acquiring information.
North Korea, which started relatively late, now has only 4, while the UK, the leader, has 6.
However, if all six pieces of information are released, North Korea will be excluded from the suspect line, whereas if only four pieces of information are released, both North Korea and the UK will have to be suspicious.
I nodded and said.
“good. Then I will move on to it.”
It was strictly considering the position of the Jung-in group.
When my countermeasure comes out like that, Yoon Sang-deok comes up with another countermeasure and continues to give and take, and the situation spreads more and more.
This is a truly one stone, two-part operation that takes extreme benefits from both sides as flying guilds, and Black Tiger as foreign guilds, and at the same time creates a reasonable reason for not being able to disclose information in the future due to Black Tiger.
I said with a smile.
“Let’s begin.”
* * *
It seemed to be settled when the guild that was stealing the strategy information was caught, but contrary to expectations, the situation spread more and more.
Hue is the goat
Guilds that attacked the same type of boss monsters continued to appear in numerous countries beyond the UK.
Naturally, the guilds who signed the contract were astonished.
To say that the information stolen using the British guild spread to other countries other than the UK meant that the UK might not be behind the incident.
“As a result of the investigation, there was no connection between the guilds that succeeded in attacking the boss. To say that guilds from other countries with no interaction with each other succeeded in attacking the same boss… .”
I said looking at the guild leaders who had been summoned to the meeting.
“It means there is a hidden force that connects them all.”
Hue is the goat
Guild leaders murmured at my words.
I said silent for a moment.
“Fortunately, somehow, I managed to catch it shortly after it started, and there are three strategy information. In the worst case, there are only six, so it doesn’t affect the trend… . The fact that the strategy information is leaked more than that means that there are still spies among them.”
Hue is the goat
Gives a warning to the guild leaders in advance.
To justify the countermeasures I will take in the future.
“Of course, I believe there will be no more leaks because I trust you, but if I’m wrong and there are more leaks… I have no choice but to take special measures.”
I said with a firm expression.
“Maybe that could be the termination of the power contract.”
At my words, the guild leaders spoke in an urgent voice.
“We are absolutely not!”
“Unless you go crazy… .”
Everyone reacted the same as the British guilds.
“Anyway, as of today, security procedures will be further strengthened. You yourself are paying more attention to crackdown. This is for my benefit, but also for you.”
The guild leaders said with a determined expression on their faces.
“All right.”
“I will cooperate.”
I nodded and said.
“Then I will trust you and keep going. I don’t want you to lose my trust in you. Then the meeting will end with this.”
* * *
Only three pieces of information were released one by one over time, and eventually up to six pieces of information were unlocked.
Still, it was at the expected level so far, so the guilds spurred their security further and prayed that the situation would not spread any further.
And did their wishes come true?
The guilds returned to their original lives with peace of mind when there was no news that they had succeeded in defeating the new boss monsters.
However.
Clive said as he hit the table.
“Seventh!?”
The news that a guild in the United States succeeded in capturing the 7th boss monster.
The problem was that this 7th boss monster was the same type as the 7th boss monster provided by the contract guilds including the Night Guild from Jeongin Group.
Of the dozens of identified boss monsters, do they pick and catch the same monster as the boss monster they were provided with?
This was by no means a coincidence.
Another word that someone stole the information.
“What motherf*ckers!!!”
The contract with the Jungin group was a kind of license agreement.
Here, the strategy information, that is, a license agreement to use this technology in each country after learning the technology.
That was the implicit rule of the guilds who entered Korea after signing a contract.
However, the rules are being thoroughly trampled on.
Clive gritted her teeth.
“shit! shit!!”
They steal information while ignoring contracts and even spread it indiscriminately regardless of country, prioritizing only their own interests.
It was like cutting the stomach of a goose that was able to catch a golden egg.
Right now, the information will make a huge profit, but if the Jung-in group gives up and stops sharing information, it’s all over.
“Guild Master. The Jung-in group will hold a meeting.”
“Tell me I’m going right away.”
* * *
Jeong In-soo looked at the guild leaders with an empty expression and said.
“Sharing attack information is right for the benefit of me and the Jung-in group. But on the other hand, I thought that since it is information that we will all know someday anyway, if we hand it over in advance with a little profit, there will be no unnecessary victims. It’s good for me to make money and it’s good for you and the other hunters to go through less trial and error. We have come this far because everyone’s interests are aligned.”
Clive bit her lip.
‘not good.’
The situation in which the strategy he put his heart and soul into was leaked to the outside without permission.
If Clive had been in the same situation, he would have gone beyond anger and collapsed.
And if those feelings cross a certain line, you might let go of everything.
Then Jeong In-soo said.
“By the way… It seems that there are people who disagree with the interests that they thought were aligned. The 7th came out. As if they were making fun of me.”
An American guild that hunted the 7th boss monster distributed by the Jeongin group to the guilds for the 7th time.
“Very clever. Even the slowest North Korean hunters are already attacking the 9th boss, so virtually everyone here is a suspect. Rather, if we had diverted and spread the publicly available people, we would have been able to deal with it more reliably.”
Jeong In-soo said with a disappointing expression.
“Anyway, many of you here will feel regretful, but it is really disappointing. I trusted you and gave you my secret.”
Then a guild leader shouted.
“We are here to help! Aren’t you supposed to beat up all those dog-like bastards!”
Then the other guild leaders also quarreled and said.
“you’re right! You won’t have to hunt for a while, so I’ll help you!”
However, despite the words of the guild leaders, Jeong In-soo closed his eyes and said.
“Thank you for the word, but we don’t know how far and how far they have spread. I’m not in a position to accept the help you’re talking about purely.”
Then Jung In-soo opened his eyes and said.
“But that doesn’t mean I’m going to stand still. Because my pride cannot tolerate giving up like this. From today onwards, all guilds will be investigated. Will you accept it?”
Before that, like the British Guild, their guild may have a spy they don’t even know they have.
If that happens, the contract may be terminated.
However, if you oppose here before that, you will be marked as a rebel.
In the end, all the guild leaders agreed and said.
“I agree.”
“However much.”
Jeong In-soo looked at the guild leaders and said.
“Thank you for your consent.”
Then a guild leader said.
“But who the hell are those big guys? Judging from the fact that they are moving all over the world, I don’t think they’re normal.”
That’s a decent question.
Shall we light the fire slowly?
“It’s still under investigation, so it’s not certain, but I’m guessing it’s an organization called the Black Tiger.”
* * *
The overseas guild leaders who heard Jung In-soo’s explanation were astonished and said.
“Is there such an organization?”
“Oh my gosh.”
Unlike the guild leader, who talks with such a surprised expression, there was one person who was alone with his legs trembling and thinking.
It was Yoo Un-mo, the guild leader of the Hanho Guild.
‘What do we do. What do we do.’
Yunmo Yoo was a hunter who eventually joined hands with Heukho because of the black blessing for his father who had dementia.
‘Damn it.’
Heukho, a dark organization, is obviously strong, but Jeong In-soo is also a person with both wealth and power.
Jeong In-soo said with a cold expression.
“They are pretty daring. you dare touch me If anyone here has anything to do with them, please let me know. All this time, I’ve been doing my best, but if you keep touching me like this, I’ll never let you go.”
‘How did I get involved in a fight like this… .’
I was worried when the information was stolen, but now Jung In-soo has noticed the existence of the Black Tiger.
Although I don’t know how I noticed it.
‘If this happens and all the things I’ve done are found out… .’
Yuun-mo, who had been so restless, suddenly stopped and thought.
‘… Would you rather stick to Chairman Chung’s side?’
He still needs the Black Tiger’s blessing and the debt on the books is huge, but if he attaches to Jeong In-soo, everything will be resolved at once.
In exchange for betrayal, if you receive the black blessing and become completely attached to Jung In-soo, you will no longer have to pay the debt.
In addition, considering his personal connections throughout the political and financial world, he may be able to make up for what Yoo Un-mo has done in the past.
‘okay. Chairman Jung is suffering a lot right now. It’s about a black blessing that will go to my father. It’s nothing compared to the damage of Chairman Chung.’
In addition, Jeong In-soo is a person who has the strongest guild in Korea called the Jeong-in Guild.
The Jeongin Guild was the only one that prevented the attack of the Black Tiger, which even the government was helpless.
Jung In-soo can protect himself.
‘At first, I wasn’t the kind of person who was suited to this kind of darkness… . Okay, let’s just go the right way.’
At that time, Yun-mo thought astonished.
‘But what if Chairman Jung is also a black tiger? It is an open fact that Chairman Jung secretly operated a black market. Of course, it has now been removed.’
Unmo Yu thought about it for a while, then smiled and thought.
‘No. It can’t be.’
Strategy information is the most important asset Jeong In-soo has.
Such attack information is now indiscriminately leaked to the outside, and the scarcity of the information is diluted.
If Jeong In-soo is a black tiger, it means that he is sacrificing everything for his acting, but that doesn’t make any sense at all.
Because Jung In-soo’s strategy information is not only for now, but for the future as well.
‘The future is not subject to compromise. If I make a mistake here, there will be problems with future contracts, so does it make sense to give up on that?’
Jung In-soo is not a black tiger, but Yoo Un-mo, who is convinced.
‘Yeah, let’s stick with Chairman Jung.’
Then Jeong In-soo said.
“Anyway, this is the end of today’s meeting. Everyone did a great job.”
The guild leaders disbanded after the meeting.
Yoo Un-mo, who was watching among them, approached Jeong In-soo, who was still guarding the meeting room, as the guild leaders all left.
“Chairman Jung.”
“Well? Guild Master Yoo. Do you have anything to say?”
“I… I have something important to tell you alone.”
* * *
“Are you saying this because you are the one who stole the attack information?”
When I spoke, pretending to be astonished, Yun-mo Yu bowed her back and said.
“sorry! The safety of my parents was at stake, so I had no choice but to do it!”
Yoo Un-mo refers to her parents as if she was trying to provoke sympathy.
“I really hate to do it and it was terrible to help them, but…ね.”
I thought as I looked at Yuun-mo like that.
‘Caught.’
okay.
wanted something like this
These traitors arise between the two factions’ conflict.
This is also one of the reasons why I caused the conflict between Heukho and Jeongin.
‘Should I kill you?’
Killing is simple.
After accepting the betrayal, he induces Yoo Un-mo to take a sudden action at an appropriate time, and then mobilizes the black tiger hunters to execute him.
However, Yun-mo’s skills are not worth it for that.
‘I’m only thinking from the perspective of the Jungin group.’
Although he is a traitor, that is from the point of view of the Black Tiger, and to me, he is a grateful accuser.
I thought for a while and said.
“under… .”
Yunmo Yu, swallowing dry saliva and looking at me.
I felt those gazes and said with a sad expression on my face.
“Is there such a thing?”
Then, Yun-mo smiled brightly and said.
“Do you understand?”
“of course. Not anyone else, but my parents. of course… .”
I said with a meaningful expression.
“Even though I don’t have parents.”
“ah… .”
“Nevertheless, I respect Guild Leader Yoo’s choice to protect his precious people. I would also like to say thank you. Because the way has finally been opened for us to know what they really are.”
Yun-mo said with an excited expression.
“I will tell you everything I know!”
Yuun-mo is excited about everything she’s been doing.
“I personally visited the Haemang Guild Leader… mask… .”
Yoo Un-mo, who acts as a messenger on behalf of Jae-Jin Lee, refers to the guilds that he attracted.
‘I don’t know the point either.’
The only thing Yuun-mo knew, whether it was fortunate or not, was the outer shell.
Not even knowing the existence of the secret dungeon.
That’s probably because Yoo Un-mo, who had just joined, was nothing more than a newcomer to the Black Tiger, apart from his skills.
Of course, knowing that doesn’t change anything.
I nodded and listened.
“Then, do you know any of the guild leaders who were in the meeting room today?”
Then, Yun-mo Yu said with a sad expression on her face.
“Until that point, I don’t know. What I know is limited.”
“Then change the question. Among those people… Do you think there will be other members of the Black Tiger besides Guild Master Yoo?”
Then, Unmo Yu pondered for a moment, then nodded and said.
“Maybe there will be. Because they are not normal.”
“That’s right… .”
I thought for a while and said.
“Anything you want?”
“I want to receive a supply of black blessings. If it becomes known that I betrayed you, I will cut it off right away. oh And the safety of me and my family… .”
“Personal safety. We can do it for you.”
“thank you!”
“By the way, Guild Master Yoo. The Jeongin guild cannot stay by the guild leader’s side forever and protect him. You know that, right?”
“Uh…
“But that doesn’t mean there isn’t a way. A way to be absolutely safe.”
“Hey, what is that?”
I said in a whisper in a quiet voice.
“It’s going to blow them up.”
“… Yes?”
“You have to completely annihilate them so you can live comfortably, right?”
“Uh, how.”
“Double spy. From now on, Guild Master Yoo will be my double spy. Dig into the Black Lake and discover their core.”
This wasn’t the original plan, but the traitor has arrived, so we have to act accordingly.
By using Yoo Un-mo as a double agent, he completes a play that will deceive everyone, regardless of the Jung-in group or the Black Tiger.
Yuun-mo said while crying.
“Yes? Well, isn’t that too dangerous?”
“It’s dangerous. But will you live forever under threat? Such evil must be eradicated. If you are the guild leader, you will be able to ascend to a high enough position. Instead, I will pay the price for the risk. money is money. A thing is a thing. whatever you want How is it?”
