Chapter 152

The Association Headquarters Conference Room.

It wasn’t long after the last meeting of the strongest, but the strongest had to gather again.

“I figured it out.”

Bae Seung-joo opened his mouth with a determined expression.

“I’ve finally found Nobody’s hideout.”

“Chief, is that for real?”

“You mean so quickly?”

Naturally, everyone widened their eyes. Except for Kang Tae-min and Hwang Ye-ri, who know the existence of the spy.

“Exactly, the iron man found out. I don’t know how to find out such information, but… .”

“I wouldn’t have figured it out on my own. Wouldn’t there be an ally?”

Hwang Ye-ri said in a rough voice. She learned about Kang Tae-min’s work only after Koh Jung-hwan left as a spy.

She had no choice but to accept it because of the spirit contract to cooperate, but she couldn’t have tolerated Go Jeong-hwan’s credit being ignored.

“This is truly a character that is hard to imagine. Not only the ability to single-handedly eliminate an apostle, but also the power of action, judgment, and information!”

Jung Joon-hyeok said to Bae Seung-ju with his eyes shining.

“I really want to meet you once, but what can I do, General Manager?”

“However, that’s not my decision… .”

“I am also curious. If you’re willing to help me like this, can’t you show your face at the meeting?”

Johanna said as if agreeing. However, Pyo Ji-hoon shook his head.

“It is meaningless if the person I know is the same person as the iron man. He was also a master of disguise.”

“You mean you can even disguise yourself? Huh, there is no such thing as an all-around beauty. That’s why it’s such a novelty.”

Ju Taiji once again burst into exclamation. However, contrary to that intention, there was a reason Kang Tae-min did not appear as an iron man.

‘If it were Johanna’s eyes, she would recognize that she had the same mana as mine.’

Johanna couldn’t be fooled by her alter ego. In the end, since the alter ego is also made of mana, Yohanna will know that the alter ego and Kang Taemin are the same.

“It seems to be leaking a little bit. Let’s get back to the point. Head of headquarters, it would be nice if you could continue the explanation.”

Kang Tae-min quickly changed the topic. It was not wrong, so even the strongest shook their heads.

“Yes, since they have a way out called Pete, quick action is essential. So I wanted to ask for everyone’s cooperation… .”

Bae Seung-joo hesitated for a moment.

“Why but?”

“Unfortunately, the location of the hideout is North Korea.”

“Uhm… .”

“It’s North Korea.”

“It’s an anarchic area, so it’s definitely a good place to hide.”

Everyone was not very surprised, and the reaction was to the extent that they knew it would be. It was because there were many cases in which villains fled to North Korea in the past.

“Well, isn’t that a bit tricky then?”

“That’s right. If you do something wrong, it could be a little difficult diplomatically.”

The territory of North Korea, currently Muju communist territory, was a hot potato for the three neighboring countries. Although all three countries are conducting periodic reconnaissance in the name of responding to monsters.

“… It is as you say. There is a possibility that it could be mistaken for a military action, so the Ministry of National Defense is also expressing its disapproval.”

It was a different meaning for a Hunter representing the country to cross the border.

There was also a possibility that China and Russia could advance into North Korea using this incident as an opportunity.

“But we can’t wait for them to come, can we?”

“you’re right. In the end, it’s just a reenactment of the Chimera crisis. No, it could be a little bit bigger this time.”

“It is as the inspiration says. Nothing can be solved by being dragged around like this.”

When the voice of opposition came out, Bae Seung-ju shook his head with a firm expression.

“… That’s right. So, I have talked with the Ministry of Defense.”

“story?”

Bae Seung-ju took a short breath.

“First of all, there is no manpower support from the Ministry of National Defense. Instead, they will investigate the best route to the hideout.”

“Well, that’s rather good.”

“Because it’s better to have fewer people to move in secret.”

It was a face that everyone understood.

“And I hope nothing is known about this from the Ministry of Defense and the government side.”

“It means that only the parties concerned know.”

“You mean you just want it to be ‘nothing happened’?”

No honor or reward given. If there is a problem, there is no compensation for it. It was something that had to be done only with ‘goodwill’.

“I don’t care.”

Taemin Kang was the first to answer.

“I missed this player. So does this old man.”

“There are things to protect.”

Ju Tae-ji and Pyo Ji-hoon immediately joined.

“I can’t be involved in such a big fight.”

“It’s better to be sure to deal with it while you can.”

Jung Jun-hyeok and Yohanna joined for slightly different reasons. All that was left was Hwang Ye-ri.

Everyone knew that she had a personality that never lost. That’s why I thought Hwang Ye-ri might refuse.

Except for Kang Tae-min, who knows about the soul contract.

“So when are you going?”

Hwang Ye-ri asked with a sour expression. Bae Seung-joo all promised to cooperate, and his face turned bright.

“According to intelligence, they are planning a terrorist attack in four days. That’s why we plan to raid them the day before and three days later.”

“Three days or so… .”

“I must be fully prepared.”

next 3 days.

The eyes of the strongest players became quite serious.

When the portal opened, Ko Jeong-hwan blew a whistle and moved.

‘Didn’t I say that the strongest will come today?’

He glanced at Pete next to him.

“You’re working hard today too!”

Pete glanced at him and then turned around. In the meantime, Ko Jeong-hwan had never seen Pete open his mouth.

‘If we had a conversation, we would have bonded. But I will pray for you to rest in peace.’

Thinking so, Go Jeong-hwan entered the huge cavity. It used to be a dungeon, and recently it was a place where Necrod stayed.

“Is it Arms?”

I saw Nekrod wearing a loose robe. He said without looking back.

“Ah, I asked for a scoop today.”

“That’s interesting.”

The voice didn’t sound interesting at all, but Ko Jeong-hwan didn’t care. He cleared his throat briefly and pulled out a small tape recorder.

<Nobody’s hiding place, finally found.>

It was the voice of Bae Seung-ju.

Nerod flinched and stopped.

The words exchanged at the meeting of the strongest continued to flow.

<I’m going to raid them in 3 days.>

Eventually, playback ended. Go Jung-hwan said with a triumphant expression.

-I have to become a double spy.

What Kang Tae-min asked for was not the end of simply infiltrating. In order to confuse Nobody, he demanded the role of a double agent.

He took on the role of monitoring the dynamics of the strongest along with Pete for Nobody.

‘Even the strongest don’t know this.’

Nobody’s side would think that it was a transcript obtained by Ko Jeong-hwan in disguise, but in fact, it was recorded by Kang Tae-min himself.

Information about espionage and spying was properly edited.

“This is the content of yesterday’s meeting. isn’t it funny They said they were completely fooled. It’s over tomorrow, what’s the use if you say you’ll come the day after tomorrow?”

It was a plan to reassure them by hiding lies within the truth.

Nerod let out a low laugh.

“Yeah, that’s really funny.”

“So… Wow?!”

Go Jeong-hwan, who was about to retaliate, was frightened. It was because piles of bones suddenly fell from the sky and became a prison in an instant.

“What, what?”

Surprised, Ko Jeong-hwan stretched his body and tried to escape through the cracks in the bones, but the bone bars sprouted like plants branching out and blocked the gaps.

“What are you doing?!”

“You’d better give up your pointless resistance.”

Go Jung-hwan quickly turned his head.

Rex and Pete were walking there.

“I already knew you were a spy.”

“her? What do you mean by clap?”

Go Jung-hwan snorted as if it was absurd. His inner heart fluctuated violently, but managing his expression was his specialty.

“It was you who betrayed Torso.”

“what… ?”

“I have analyzed the situation thousands of times. As for the strongest against the Chimera, no one was surprised.”

Nekrod approached him step by step. Go Jeong-hwan rolled his eyes.

“The same mistakes are not repeated. Did you think that this method would work again?”

“No, it’s really unfortunate. why me… .”

“Isn’t it today that the strongest will come?”

At those words, Go Jeong-hwan had a hunch.

‘I’m sure this was caught.’

Nerod let out a sneer when he stopped talking.

“The soul does not lie. When you were asleep, I looked directly into your soul.”

“Ugh! Isn’t privacy supposed to be respected!?”

Go Jung-hwan decided to escape. I couldn’t die in silence like this.

‘It’s like this kind of bone… !’

A heavy boom rang out. However, contrary to his expectations, the prison was firm.

“What, what?”

“Why don’t you know you’re still alive?”

“You are the bait.”

Rex said a word. Go Jung-hwan’s eyes shook.

“bait… ?”

“I’d like to kill it and make it undead, but they say there are no corpses left of the fit.”

“Oh my, what are we going to do with this!?”

Clumps of blood fell like showers from the portal that had formed above the prison. Eyes flashed in the shadows under Nekrod’s hood.

“What are you doing now… !”

Go Jung-hwan could not speak any more. Clots of blood clung to his body, and the prison tightened on him from all sides.

“While you give the strongest time, I will take over the city.”

Nekrod’s eyes grew stronger.

“By the time they realize it, they won’t be able to do anything about it.”

The timing of the raid he planned was today. Nerod looked forward to the night when the strongest would come.

Late night.

In the dark forest, six human figures moved swiftly like a darting arrow. Surprisingly, even with such rapid movement, footsteps were barely audible.

‘Is it over there?’

I saw the huge cavity where Nekrod had taken shelter. Taemin Kang looked back at the others and nodded.

There was no reason to hesitate.

They quickly went inside.

“Geuuu-!”

“Gh-!”

At the same time as they entered, a group of undead rushed at them with hideous cries. The types of corpses that became the material were also diverse.

Ogres boasting huge bodies and strength, humanoid monsters such as kobolds who are good at group hunting, insect monsters such as giant ants and arachnes, and even mountain beasts such as wild animals and elk were mixed.

However, they were not weak enough to be attacked by such a surprise. Although there were only six of them, they took care of the undead, each taking charge of defense.

“Is this enough to be free?”

A voice came from behind a huge mass of undead that did not participate in the ambush.

Kang Tae-min remembered that voice clearly.

“… Necrod.”

“One ability, I’m surprised you didn’t use it.”

“Is the thing in it Go Jung-hwan?”

Taemin Kang frowned.

Metal detection allowed me to figure out that there was someone inside that undead.

“Yes. If you make a hasty move… .”

Nekrod hadn’t even finished speaking. Taemin Kang beckoned, and the mass of undead suddenly swelled up.

“What… !?”

With a slap, something like a metal mannequin came out from inside.

Kang Tae-min covered Ko Jeong-hwan’s body with metal and took it out.

Soon after, the protruding Gojeonghwan disappeared into the twisted subspace.

“There must have been a corner to believe.”

Nerod was not taken aback. Although it was an unexpected situation, he was confident of victory.

“But it is already too late. A city without the strongest… .”

“What are you talking about?”

Kang Tae-min showed his ability. The suit began to cover his body.

“… what is this?”

This time, even Necrod couldn’t help but panic. It was because when he put on the suit, the other strongest people became iron men just like him.

“I am the only one here.”

The strongest people who came with Kang Tae-min were alter egos imitating them. In other words, the other strongest men were still defending the city.

“why… ?!”

Kang Tae-min replied calmly to the reaction that came out like a seizure.

“Because alone is enough.”
