274 – Clan Creation (3)
Inside a room illuminated by a small lamp.
This place was so crowded that even two people couldn’t fit in, and an unpleasant smell was stinging my nose.
Slight burnt and bloody smell.
And… Rotten smell.
A terrible rotten smell was vibrating in the room.
And of course, the source of that smell is a corpse.
These were the ‘offerings’ that filled this space.
“It looks like this even after management.”
As soon as Aquilen entered the room, he frowned and covered his nose.
I did some embalming to take good care of it, but since I’m not an expert, it couldn’t be perfect.
Still, it was fortunate that we reached the set number.
Now that the quota for the corpse side had been fulfilled, the mission entrusted by the vice school leader could be completed by filling only the living side.
“Ah, you are here.”
As I was looking around the room for a moment, a man with a mean look came in following Aquilen.
The man is a temporary subordinate hired for this mission.
He was not a ‘leave’ member like Dave or Aquilen, but was a kind of gangster holder called an outholder.
They say there is trash wherever you go, and even though Was eliminated, there were people who would commit crimes if they were given money.
Thanks to this, this matter was resolved quite easily.
“Teacher, the work you entrusted me with is almost complete. Lol.”
“When will it be finished?”
“Yes – this group is the one who lured them into direct trading of items and magic stones, so they will probably be able to kidnap them at the trading day in a few days. “Especially this time, there are a lot of players with particularly good quality, so you can look forward to it.”
Furthermore, since they were the ones who did not think about the future, the kidnapping of the Holders could have proceeded rather easily.
This time, Aquilen chuckled at the man’s flattery that the quality was particularly good.
Tak-
And then I threw the bag on one side to him.
This was the balance that was set as the request fee for this case.
“Call me when you finish your work. “I will check it myself.”
A heavy request fee whose weight you can feel just by lifting it.
When he confirmed this, the man smiled broadly.
Then he repeatedly bowed his head to Aquilen and answered.
“Yes, yes! “Of course!”
The man, with his back broken, bowed his head and left the room.
Aquilen, who was left alone, took out a cigarette in a room filled with a rotten smell.

Cigarettes after Aquilene ‘escape’ to Earth.
It was the favorite food that I enjoyed the most.
“Soon…” A conclusion will be drawn.”
And I thought while muttering into the air.
Once the living and dead bodies are prepared…
The plan will now move on to the implementation stage.
His boss, Dave, was not the type of person to make mistakes in these areas, and Aquilen was not the kind of person who would disrupt a plan he had worked hard on for a long time.
A plan that the Ludenarch School has been preparing for a long time.
It was preparations for the departure of the head of the school, ‘Flinclaw’.
* * *
“Hmm….”
A heavy intrusion overflows into the room.
I quietly took a deep breath, looking more nervous than ever.
I have experienced this face to face many times, but there has never been a day when I felt as pressured as today.
It was such an important discussion, and complex interests were involved.
“Juyeon, you should go out.”
“… Also?”
Kang Joo-yeon, who was next to her, frowned.
This is a quite rare expression on her.
After the conversation started, he stayed still without saying a word, but he seemed to be slightly annoyed when he was told to leave the room again like last time.
“This is an important story. “My son-in-law and I have to do it together.”
Kang Woo-hyeon draws a line with a stern face.
Those words make me think differently for a moment.
‘… Now you just call me son-in-law.’
Although I previously said that I was considering marriage, the change in title was very natural.
Anyway, Kang Woo-hyeon gave the order to congratulate the guests with a rare expression.
However, Kang Joo-yeon did not step down as easily this time.
“… It’s a story that concerns me. “I want to talk with you too.”
“Uh-huh!”
The atmosphere in the room becomes cold in an instant.
A father who listened to everything his daughter said…
A daughter who always followed her father’s words without saying a word.
The moment the two people first confronted each other was so cold that it was difficult to even breathe properly up close.
It was a situation in which I, as a party to the conflict, could not easily intervene.
“It’s not just about you. You are the only heir and senior clan member of the Judgment of Fire. What does it mean to transfer such key personnel to a new clan that has just been created? “Are you sure you don’t know?”
“… ….”
There was nothing wrong with what Kang Woo-hyun said.
This is probably what I heard when it was just the two of us left.
An act that becomes the seed of discord just by attempting it.
An act that is considered immoral between clans.
In fact, it can be considered hijacking….
It was no surprise to see that Kang Woo-hyeon’s anger was all over his head.
“… “Still, I want to join Jaehyun’s clan.”
“Kang Joo-yeon!”
Kang Woo-hyeon’s voice loudly struck the room.
Kang Joo-yeon looked quite surprised as if her father’s shouting was unexpected.
‘… ‘It won’t work.’
I sensed that it was time to intervene cautiously.
If I intervened here, I might make him even more angry, but I didn’t want the relationship between father and daughter to worsen purely due to my greed and actions.
“Father-in-law, please calm down a little.”
“You are out.”
The sharp words I heard from him for the first time.
It was a little heartbreaking, but it was okay.
I was not embarrassed and continued speaking slowly.
“There is a way for both my father-in-law and Juyeon to compromise.”
“… ….”
I felt Kang Woo-hyeon’s emotions calm down slightly at those words.
He was breathing quietly and focused his gaze on me.
“… “Something, that.”
“I am forming a friendly clan with the clan I will create.”
… Friendly clan?
Kang Woo-hyeon asked about that word that came out of nowhere, and Kang Ju-yeon also made a puzzled face.
This was something she had not even been told about, so she took it for granted.
I left my seat for a moment and walked towards the whiteboard in the room.
Then I drew large pictures with a board marker.
“It is convenient to think about the relationship we had with our Circle Anti-Villain a while ago and the relationship we currently have with the Men’s Condition Clan.”
Judgement by Fire maintained a close cooperative relationship with Last year, and as part of that relationship, it dispatched the entire ‘5 Hunting Teams’ and led the operation to success.
The friendly relationship with the clan is the same.
There are quite a few Clan members who are currently deployed to Japan.
There is no problem for a clan member to temporarily transfer while having the highest level of friendly relationship as it is a kind of ‘dispatched work’.
“I need Juyeon right now, and I want him to join the clan I will create. However, this means that we want to participate in the initial clan formation, not that we will leave the judgment of fire forever. “Isn’t that right, Juyeon?”
The look you turn as you finish speaking.
Kang Joo-yeon also carefully nods her head.
She also had a strong desire to be with me, but she would not have thought of blindly giving up her position as the successor to .
I made eye contact with Kang Woo-hyun again and said.
“So, please establish friendly relations with our clan and send Juyeon in the form of a dispatch. Then, each other’s concerns will be resolved, and the outside world will no longer view this as a merger.”
What Kang Woo-hyeon is worried about is the disappearance of the clan’s successor.
As a result, Is naturally absorbed and merged.
Of course, that is something that my Clan members do not want, and it is something that neither I nor Juyeon would think about at all.
Juyeon just wanted to be with me at the moment I founded the clan.
“The deadline is 2 years. “I will be with you only until Jooyeon graduates.”
“… “It’s been two years.”
When the specific deadline came up, Kang Woo-hyun stroked his chin.
A fairly reasonable and desirable suggestion.
Even if I thought about it briefly, there was no reason to refuse.
Especially for someone who cares so much about her daughter, fighting with her for a long time is quite unbearable.
Kang Woo-hyun was probably also very uncomfortable with the current situation where they had unintentionally turned on each other.
In that respect…
This plan that both father and daughter could be satisfied with was very attractive.
“Good. Friendly clan, accept it.”
Finally, Kang Woo-hyun sent a positive sign.
At the same time, the expressions of Kang Joo-yeon and I also brightened.
Although complicated procedures remained for the friendship agreement, I felt like I had overcome the biggest mountain.

“It’s a friendly clan…” .”
The same story happened in .
In addition to Moon Jeong-hyuk, there was another man here.
Geonwook Hwang.
Clanmaster of , And S -class Holder.
He was also the brother-in-law of Moon Jeong-hyeok, and was the middle-aged aunt of Moon Ga-eun.
He was a fairly decent and rational person, and he considered my proposal without being swayed by emotions.
“It’s not bad.”
Fortunately, the results were positive.
Actually, I think it is an effective solution.
No matter how senior the clan members and successors of the clan are, Kang Joo-yeon and Moon Ga-eun are still students who have not yet graduated from the academy.
For this reason, no matter how talented you are or how outstanding your skills are… This means that you must stay at the academy for 2 years during periods other than vacation.
In such a situation, would you temporarily join a new special clan with full support from the Academy and guaranteed freedom of movement?
It was a dispatch that could gain both reputation and practical benefit.
“But Do Jae-hyun holder. “I have one question.”
“Please tell me.”
“Has this proposal even gone to trial by fire?”
Hwang Geon-wook’s sharp sense was activated.
Everyone secretly knows that I am a lover not only with Moon Ga-eun but also with Kang Joo-yeon.
Of course, it was a reasonable inference that he would have gone to First for Kang Joo-yeon.
I responded by nodding my head.
“Yes. “We have even concluded a friendly clan agreement with the Judgment of Fire.”
“I see.”
Hwang Geon-wook seemed to have heard the most important story.
He smiled confidently and held out his hand to me.
“Good. Let’s do Royal too. “I hope that the agreement can be signed today.”
In the eyes of Hwang Gun-wook who says that…
Some unknown competitive spirit was stirring.
I looked at Moon Ga-eun next to her with puzzled eyes, but she also had an expression on her face that made no sense.
And….
-Hello, Do Jae-hyun Holder. My name is Ahn Ho-jin, and I am the secretary team leader of the Yonggwanggeomro Clan. It is none other than our clan master who wants to meet Holder Do Jae-hyeon, so I am contacting you at the risk of being rude. This is a discussion about signing a friendship agreement with the new clan that Holder is creating.
A text message from an unfamiliar number.
It was a text message sent by the secretary of Song Do-hyuk, the clan master.
And the topic of the interview was, as expected, about the friendly clan agreement.
As soon as the agreement with Was concluded.
It was That stuck together as if competing.
‘No, is this something to compete with?’
I looked at my phone with a bewildered face.

On the other hand, I worked hard to recruit Kang Joo-yeon and Moon Ga-eun as early members, but for some reason, other clans were actively contacting our clan.
‘It hasn’t even started yet….’
An unexpected burden begins to press on my shoulders.
This is just in case.
If the creation of a clan fails, even if just by chance, it will be a big problem.
This was a stage where I couldn’t back down.
