The stage and the players are ready.
So now it’s time to gather the guests.
First, I got people to spread the rumor that Chang-soo Yeom and Yong-seop Joo will fight in the near future.
Even though it was a game to which only the top class would be invited anyway, the reason for the rumors was simple.
Just to give them something special.
The speciality that only the selected players can watch the game with their own two eyes will make them fall in love with this underground stadium even more.
Why do people like luxury goods?
Because no one can live.
Just by having this, you can show off that you are different from others.
In order to do that, shouldn’t everyone be aware of this masterpiece?
I said, gazing again.
“It would be perfect if we could show the two of them arguing here.”
How great would it be if Yeom Chang-soo and Joo Yong-seop had a press conference and exchanged word for word, raising expectations a lot and then holding a savage match.
But even if it doesn’t, Joo Yong-seop, who doesn’t want a match, wouldn’t be able to do that.
“I’m sorry, but what? I can’t help it.”
After the big match is over, it takes over the heat and completely activates the underground arena.
I got up from my seat and said.
“Shall we go to invite customers soon?”
“Welcome, CEO Jung.”
An old-fashioned mansion with a large yard.
In such a mansion, Dain Investment Chairman Yoo Jeong-hak welcomed me.
“Is this our first home?”
“haha. Yes. The house is very nice.”
From the swimming pool to the trees that look expensive at first glance, nothing is ordinary.
If this is not enough for the price of a house, would it be tens of billions of dollars?
“It was built with great care to live until I die of old age. Originally, I was thinking about the hanok version, but I thought it would be more convenient to live here. What do you do when your house is beautiful? It’s best to be comfortable when you’re older.”
“I want to live in a house like this.”
Seriously, I think I’ll have to build a decent mansion now.
Not just to show others, but for myself and my safety.
Even now, the security team lives right next to my room all the time, but it’s actually inconvenient because it’s not a building designed for security and safety from the beginning.
So, the security team will install a lot of security devices along with the dormitory to create a 24-hour security system.
“Can you introduce me to the architect?”
“Then thank you.”
“okay. okay. I’ll keep that person in touch. ah! me too We had guests and kept talking about the house. come in. We’ve set up a tea table, so let’s talk while we eat.”
Chairman Yoo Jeong-hak said, taking a sip of tea.
“I mean. When I get a call from CEO Jung, I think of my forgotten first love.”
“···Yes?”
Chairman Yoo Jeong-hak said with a smile.
“It’s always exciting. What else are you going to do this time? And how much money do you make from it?”
I was surprised to hear that it was suddenly my first love.
“I was surprised to learn that you were even making a confession. haha.”
“confession? there’s nothing you can’t do The story of my granddaughter still holds true.”
Chairman Yoo Jeong-hak said he had no intention of meeting with his granddaughter.
It looked like he had not given up yet.
“I will take my heart.”
“So, persistence. So, what did you come here for today? There is no way CEO Jung, who is busy, came to visit without a purpose.”
“It’s not like you can make money the way you expect it to.”
“okay?”
“Instead, I can make your heart pound. A lot, too.”
Yoo Jeong-hak said with an interesting expression.
“Oh.”
“Have you heard that rumor? Rumors that the Firebird Guild Yeom Chang-soo and Cheonmu Guild Joo Yong-seop might have a confrontation.”
“I’ve heard it.”
“What do you think?”
“Very interesting. It’s a battle of superhumans that transcends humans, isn’t it? Besides, they’re not anyone else, they’re the guild leaders of the top guilds in Korea.”
I said with a smile.
“The rumor. I paid for it.”
Yoo Jeong-hak, who was staring at me at my words, said.
“If the rumors were raised by CEO Jung, would you really mean that the showdown would take place?”
“of course. The venue and player recruitment are over and we are now inviting spectators to watch the match.”
Yoo Jeong-hak raised the corners of his lips at my words and said.
“That was the reason I came here today. Invitation of observers.”
“Yes. The chance to see two top-notch hunters play up close doesn’t come very often. In that sense, I would like to invite Chairman Yoo as an observer of this match…”
“I am honored. To be honest, I saw a lot of hunters fighting monsters on video. But should I say that I can’t really feel how strong the Hunters are?”
Hunters allowed to use force only in dungeons.
It was safe to say that the general public hardly had a chance to see their true abilities.
I said with a smile.
“Then let’s take this opportunity to really feel it.”
You can’t hide the location of the stadium for the rest of your life.
But until the stadium is fully established and becomes a playground for the upper classes, it should be hidden as much as possible.
So, just as the workers were secretly brought in, both players and spectators were going to wear eyepatch and bring them into the stadium.
Of course, there were people who expressed their objection to my suggestion to wear an eye patch and watch the game.
But what does it matter?
After all, there are many candidates who are spectators.
Fortunately, many people who have built trust with me through investment companies and businesses have accepted my offer, and the 100 observers I have been invited to do so.
All of them were well-known figures who made a name for themselves in one field.
After completing all the spectator invitations, I set a date and time and notified the people and players, and the day of the match finally arrived.
“Come here. President Yoo.”
At my words, Chairman Yoo Jeong-hak took off his eyepatch and said.
“Five. Are you here?”
Yoo Jeong-hak, who looked around the stadium, said with bright eyes.
“I was thinking of using some kind of eye mask to invite… but this is just right. I walked downstairs earlier, so it looks like it’s in the basement, right?”
I said with a smile.
“Yes.”
“To build a stadium of this size in the basement. Besides, considering the safety was taken care of by putting on an eye patch… it doesn’t seem like an approved building.”
“I will leave it to your imagination.”
“haha.”
Yoo Jeong-hak, who looked around the stadium like that, said.
“The game between the two is not important. But is this secret arena open to the public just for that game? CEO Jung is not that kind of person. For some reason, it feels like we had a match between the two to promote this stadium. I don’t think it will end with this one time. Is it too speculative?”
Accurate.
This is why I feel comfortable with Chairman Yoo Jung-hak.
Even if you tell me just a little bit, you will understand my intentions accurately.
“Likewise, I will leave it to your imagination.”
Chairman Yu said with a smile at my words.
“Anyway, thank you for inviting me to this rare game.”
“It was nothing. ruler. I put your name on the reserved seat, so go sit down.”
100 spectators who entered the stadium like that.
I picked up the microphone and said.
“Thank you all for coming. Today, as previously announced, there will be a match between the two hunters. And their real name is…”
I said with my index finger to my mouth.
“I will not comment.”
It was a situation in which everyone was invited and informed in advance that the match would be held wearing a mask.
“The purpose of this match is simple. Who will be stronger out of the two hunters? A battle to decide who the real strongman is! ruler. Then, I’ll do my best and continue the game!”
Then the doors on both sides opened and two men in red and blue masks appeared.
The red mask was Yeom Chang-soo and the blue mask was Joo Yong-seop.
The spectators who saw them murmur.
“Red is Yeomchangsu.”
“It’s just that I know.”
Two men wearing masks climbed onto the podium in the center of the stadium.
“Are you ready?”
Joo Yong-seop was silent at the words of Yeom Chang-soo.
“The preparations are already over. but···”
Joo Yong-seop looked around and said.
“Now, CEO Jung is starting to get scared.”
“…that’s sympathy.”
The two simply thought that the match would be held in a rare place.
However, the place we arrived at was a stadium that was presumed to be underground.
Besides, it’s not just a regular ring, it’s a much wider and stronger match table.
Anyone can see that this was a stadium that was built with the assumption of a battle between hunters.
“I feel a bit taken advantage of…”
At Joo Yong-seop’s words, Yeom Chang-soo smiled and said.
“therefore. You want to dance?”
“It can’t be.”
Joo Yong-seop took a stance and said.
“Anyway, don’t show me how you got here today. Who is the real Wii?”
“That’s what I’m going to say. Please don’t show me too much.”
And finally, the fight between the two hunters began.
The rule was an unlimited rule as long as it did not deviate from the playing field, as only face attacks and attacks on vital points were prohibited.
So the match that started was absolutely overwhelming.
thud!!!
The tiles laid on the match pedestal are shattered by Yeom Chang-soo’s fist and scatter in all directions.
And in the aftermath, shockwaves and roars resounding throughout the stadium.
Since it was a narrow and enclosed space, the recoil resonated more violently and stimulated people.
The destructive instinct is a basic human instinct.
It was thrilling.
And the excitement never goes away.
Even I, who has seen hunters who are stronger than them, feels thrilled.
If even me is like this, the observers will be shocked.
“mi. crazy.”
thud!! bang!!!
With a single punch, the stone pedestal is shattered, and the recoil can be clearly felt.
“Were the Hunters like this?”
They felt the opposite emotions of thrill, fear, and joy at the same time as Hunter’s strength.
And the observers, unable to control the rising endorphins, get up from their seats and shout.
“cool!! Red!!!”
“Wow!!”
Celebrities who all made a name for themselves in their respective locations.
Such celebrities give up everything for today and surrender themselves to the pleasures of their instincts.
After all, they were just witnesses that they saw the game in person, and they didn’t plan to include this in the video, so there was nothing more intimidating.
Exactly the picture I wanted.
“Ugh!!”
At that time, Joo Yong-seop was stably hit by Yeom Chang-soo’s fist and staggered back.
“Aww!!”
“You’re still standing even after being hit with that crazy fist!?”
The spectators tremble at the sight of Joo Yong-seop, who maintains his posture even after being hit with a fist that is so powerful that even a stone can be lightly crushed.
While the spectators were so immersed in the game, the fight between the two gradually ran towards the climax.
Both of them were covered in blood.
In particular, in the case of Joo Yong-seop, blood, presumed to have come out of his mouth, was dripping down the mask because he had been hit with a fist in the body earlier.
“Yeom Chang-soo. That’s pretty good.”
In fact, I was judging that Joo Yong-seop had a higher chance of winning.
That’s because the hunting speed is directly related to the growth of the hunter, and Joo Yong-seop started snowballing faster than Yeom Chang-soo.
But in a match like this, growth and physical ability weren’t everything.
Yeom Chang-soo seemed better than Joo Yong-seop in dealing with people, and this difference was the difference between the two.
“Ugh!!”
In the end, Joo Yong-seop collapsed and vomited blood.
And Joo Yong-seop did not move any more.
Seeing this, Yeom Chang-soo fell down and shouted.
“I won!!!!”
Then the observers shouted at the Yeomchangsu.
“Yeom Chang-soo! Yeom Chang-soo!!”
I clicked my tongue and said.
“Ts. Don’t call me by name.”
I’ll have to edit it and get it removed.
Anyway, there were wins and losses.
I beckoned to the doctor and said.
“Come on, let me heal you.”
He was the person I hired this time as a doctor whose license was revoked after working on drugs.
In addition to that, there is an infirmary equipped with various medical equipment, so simple emergency treatment would be easy.
“Yes!”
The medical staff carried stretchers and went up to the stadium.
“I’ll have to catch a return match later.”
How proud would you be?
Still, it’s an alliance guild, so give yourself a chance to restore your pride.
By the way, look at that Changsoo Yeom…
Yeom Chang-soo raised his hands and roared as he looked at the spectators with how excited he was.
He enjoys the euphoria of victory more than anyone else and reacts explosively to the cheers of the general public, whom he usually despises.
“…that and that, aren’t they really completely turning into a player?”
Well… that’s not as bad as it is.
Because it doesn’t matter if it’s me.
Anyway, the match ended successfully.
“Do you want to start business in earnest now?”
“Wow···”
Among the observers was Yong-gil Koo, managing director of LK, who shared slime slime along with development of Jeong-in.
In fact, Gu Yong-gil was not particularly interested in this fight, but Gu Yong-gil accepted the observation because of his close acquaintance with Jung In-soo.
However, when he saw the match, Gu Yong-gil lost his mind in their fierce battle.
Because the primal fun that stimulates a man’s instincts is not something that can be tolerated just by being patient.
In particular, the shock wave and roar that exploded whenever their fists touched made the body shake by itself.
It’s an exhilaration that can’t even be compared to the music playing in the club.
“Are you okay?”
That’s when I heard Jung In-soo’s voice.
“ah. Yes. Representative Jung. It’s really… really awesome. I can’t put it into words.”
“That’s right. So, by the way, the former Managing Director.”
Jeong In-soo said in a secret voice.
“Would you be willing to participate again if another match is held?”
Hue is the goat
Gu Yong-gil said with a harsh expression.
“Another game?”
“Yes. Are you sure it’s just one-on-one? There can be team matches, or there can be several weak hunters and one strong hunter.”
Hue is the goat
Gu Yong-gil makes my heart flutter just by listening to it.
“You are attracted to it.”
Jeong In-soo said with a satisfied expression at those words.
“Is that so? Instead, from now on, I will only receive VIP customers registered in this stadium, so I have to sign up…”
Then Gu Yong-gil stopped for a moment.
“Do I need to sign up?”
“Yes.”
A match under these unrestricted rules can never be legally followed.
It was also illegal for Hunters to use force on Earth in the first place.
This is only one time, even though he was blindfolded, he hid the identity of the player, and he could pretend he didn’t know that this was the case, but if this happens again, the story will be different.
But can you watch the game only if you sign up and leave your mark?
When Gu Yong-gil seemed hesitant, Jeong In-su said with a smile.
“There is nothing to worry about. The video will be released as an exception only this time, and from then on, everything will be done in complete secret.”
“Well···”
“Safety is also guaranteed. Make enough holes to get out. Besides, I didn’t gamble with money, so what’s the problem? I didn’t play the game myself, I didn’t run it, it was just a spectacle. Besides, this stadium will be operated by VIP recommendation only.”
“A recommendation?”
“Yes. We plan to make it impossible to register without a recommendation from those who have registered as VIP. Of course, not all recommendations will be accepted, but only those who have passed through thorough screening can register.”
How it works the way you see it most.
That’s how secret social clubs for the elite were run.
“What would you like to do? It doesn’t matter if you refuse. Instead, the problem is that even if you want to come back next time, you won’t be able to come back unless you get a recommendation.”
Hue is the goat
Gu Yong-gil felt it.
This underground arena will be a place where you can feel the joy of violence, and at the same time, it will be a secret social gathering place for those who rule Korea.
These clandestine and illegal connections are sure to help.
Plus, there’s even a game that excites people.
It is said that there are risks, but the intangible benefits to be gained by accepting this are large.
“ah. And it doesn’t matter if you sign up or unsubscribe. Instead, it will be banned for the next half year, so please be aware of that.”
Even if it wasn’t, Jeong In-soo gave the final blow even though he was slightly inclined towards joining.
Once you sign up, if you decide that it is worse than you expected or dangerous, it is enough to leave immediately.
In the end, Gu Yong-gil nodded and said.
“I will join.”
taken from noblemt l
Most of the 100 spectators signed up as VIPs.
These are accomplices who now share an illegal arena with me.
Of course, in order to maintain the status of these accomplices, their safety must also be thoroughly safeguarded.
So, to reassure them, I attached the condition that they can leave.
But that’s the trap.
If this stadium is fully activated and everyone knows each other, what is the meaning of leaving?
“Now that this video spreads…”
Since it is a stadium from anyone’s perspective, there will be people who want to visit this stadium, and we gather those people through invitations from VIPs.
Here, we will now introduce plenty of know-how acquired through the operation of the Monster Arena.
“Because you are not a monster, you are a person, so it could become a fandom. oh Let’s introduce a donation system. Finally, if we add gambling to this…”
It truly is an all-weather social playground for the upper class.
And I, the owner of this playground, will receive their full support.
I said raising the corners of my lips.
“Once this is done, no one can touch me anymore. no one.”
