Chapter 690 3rd round of talks. =========================================================================

The third round of talks on the agenda of dividing the four foreign cities connecting Atlanta’s inner cities. It is safe to say that the interests of several clans are intertwined as the huge rewards of the city are at stake.

I don’t know when it’ll be over. It may end unexpectedly quickly or later than expected. The problem has been narrowed down to one through the second round of talks.

The only thing that is clear is that today’s third round of talks will end the situation surrounding Atlanta. Whether the martial arts give up or the east gives up. In the end, it was this problem.



“Brother, we’re here.”

It took about 30 minutes to get to the venue of the talks.

Users gathered nearby can be largely divided into two types. Those who participate directly in the meeting and those who are watching from around you. Of course, except for those who help the meeting proceed, the right to participate directly is limited to Clan Road class.

“Clan Lord, good luck.”

“See you later.”

After receiving Shin Jae-ryong’s support, I stepped toward the square. Then I heard someone shouting, “The Commercial Road has arrived!” Soon I slowly stepped on the stairs amid the intensified murmur.

My city square has a rather unusual structure. The center of the stage and the stairs surround the surrounding area, which looked like a large outdoor theater from a distance.

Originally, it is normal here when it is old and dirty, but it was not enough to frown whether the cleaning efforts were put into the previous talks. To put it nicely, there is an antique atmosphere with traces of time.

It was not long before I stopped walking at the end of the stairs that I could see the central place of the talks. The stage consisted of the general commander who led each expedition and his clan rods. Sung Hyun-min, Sunyoul, and Kim Deok-pil participated in the Eastern expedition where Cho Sung-ho died. It’s been a while since I saw everyone.

There were about 100 people gathered on the stage, but the hall was quite quiet. Some of them looked at me with incredible expressions, and many of them were chewing with their eyes closed. I walked slowly, receiving a mixture of visions and frustration.

“You’re really here.”

Park Da-yeon, standing next to Han So-young, the boss of the stage, smiled brightly and talked to her. Apparently, he was chosen as the host of today’s talks. I nodded lightly, thinking that he had made his way up in the world, too.

“I heard the rumor yesterday. Before we get to the main meeting, I would like to extend my heartfelt congratulations on the survival of the Commercial Road.”

Park Da-yeon moved her feet while talking with a big smile and tapped someone. A handsome young man sitting next to Han So-young looked surprised and puzzled. However, when Park Da-yeon immediately showed signs of aggression, she was nervous and raised her body.

“No, I’m fine. I’ll sit over here.”

I know what you mean, but I said no as if I was fine. It’s because my brother on the left side of the stage made me a seat. And I didn’t want to see the reactions at least once.

“Oh, would you?”

This time, Park Da-yeon laughed bitterly. Some users just looked like they were, but others stared at me with a look of surprise. You must be quite surprised that I refused to sit next to you.

In fact, if he left his seat empty in the first place. I’ve heard rumors, but I’ve got another user on my seat.I don’t know. I don’t feel so good when I think about my usual seat.

“Suhyun, welcome. You’re a little late.”

I was a little haggard, but my brother welcomed me with a much cleaner look than the day before yesterday.

“And my brother came earlier than expected.”

“Right? Hahaha!”

As soon as he sat next to him, answering in moderation, his brother suddenly laughed loudly as if someone wanted him to hear him and looked at the boss with his neck up. However, Han So-young remained expressionless. When I first appeared, I only hit my eyes once, but there was no response.

Soon after, Han So-young looked around and nodded lightly.

“Okay, then I’ll announce that we’ll hold the third round of talks.”

I was surprised to think Han So-young said that for an instant, but fortunately, the main character of the cute voice was Park Da-yeon. Han So-young’s nod a little while ago seems to be some kind of signal.

Park Da-yeon, who breathed in slightly as if she was a little nervous, slowly looked back at me.

“Oh. The Commercial Road. Have you heard about the previous round of talks? I can give you a brief description if you need it.”

It was nice to talk as if I had forgotten, but my voice was shaking like that’s why. I thought I knew what was going on inside, so I laughed inside. Then he shook his head calmly.

“No, I’m fine. I’ve heard some of the stories I need to run.”

“Oh! I see.”

Park Da-yeon’s face brightened. It’s a relief that comes from not having to bring up words that may be uncomfortable.

Park Da-yeon coughed for a while and continued.

“Okay, I don’t know how to beat around the bush, so I’ll ask straightforwardly. Does the Mercenary Clan want the authority to manage the city in return for the work it has done in this attack?”

“That’s what you’re talking about.”

I answered clearly.

Then, the whole venue of the talks began to stir just now, starting with a reply.

“Then….”

In it, Park Da-yeon turned away, subtly blurring the end of her words. It was in the direction of the eastern people sitting. I was lost in thought carefully.

There are four cities left now. It’s safe to say that the South already has a city there. Then the three remaining cities must compete in the East, West, North and the Commercial.

Here, the East has decided on the trade union as a counterpart. In a way, it was a natural choice. They would have judged that it would be better to deal with a clan than to deal with two regions that are allied to each other. And considering that the martial arts participated in the South, there are many things to say.

Thinking so, I moved my chin around. I felt like I had to talk properly today.

A little later.

“Let me say something first.”

A man stood up asking for a say. He was also a member of the East Side, not to be seen twice.

“First of all, I personally respect the opinion of the Commercial Lord. The Military Clan has made the most brilliant contribution to the attack on the Steel Mountains, and no one can dispute it if it’s simply a feat.”

At first, I wondered why you acknowledged it, but sure enough. The man emphasized the word “simple merit.” I crossed my arms and stared across.



“However, no matter how high the merit is, I don’t think it’s right to put it in order of merit if you think about the critical issue of the city. Being a representative clan of a city means you have to have that ability. …so I dare to ask the Commercial Road right now.”

Soon after, the man stopped looking around and opened his mouth, facing me from the front.

” Assuming you’re going to take over a city. How you’re going to develop your city in the Commercial Clan. I’d like to hear a long-term vision of him.”

I was wondering what you were talking about. It’s a long-term vision. Hah, hah, hah.

“There’s no such thing. Not yet.”

I shook my head with a bland smile.

“…Yes?”

The man looked embarrassed.

“It’s only been three days since I got back. All I’ve done so far is hear things going on. But it’s already a long-term vision.”

“Oh, no…”

The man stammered as if he had never expected to hear such words. He looked like he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

I went on and on and on.

“And one thing you said wrong is that the dictionary meaning of the vision is the future situation in sight. It doesn’t fit this situation. What’s urgent is to make this city a place where users can live. What a long-term vision all of a sudden. It’s about solving the challenges and building them up.”

“Ha, but that is absolutely necessary…!”

“Oh, of course I need it. a long-term vision So if you want to hear more, please come and see me after the situation is sorted out. I’ll let you have a cup of tea and let you hear it.”

“…….”

There was a light smile in the hall. The red-faced man murmured and chewed his mouth. Yeah, you have nothing to say. So hurry up and sit down.

“I don’t think so.”

It was then. As soon as the man snuck into his seat, the woman just to the left stood up. The woman looked at the boss late and asked for a say, then turned her head back and looked at me.

“First of all, the most urgent problem is rebuilding the city. You’re absolutely right. As you say, you can set up a long-term vision. But back to square one. Which clan has the capacity to take over the city from the beginning? I can’t help but question that.”

“Does that mean that our machine is not qualified?”

“Not qualified? I’ve never said anything so extreme. Oh! Of course, I admit that the martial arts are a very good clan in terms of combat. But a city is not a place where battles are fought. It’s a space where users’ lives are made. As a result, administrative work is very important, and there might be some deficiencies in that area. That’s what I’m saying.”

“It’s not enough. That’s interesting. I’d like to hear more about that.”

Then the smiling woman continued as if she had waited.

“Well, first of all, it’s the lack of experience, or none at all. As far as I know, the specialty is mainly mercenary work. Also, he is not a member of the North Continent, but a free man. And most of all, the small number of people is the biggest concern. I don’t think it’s a good idea that a clan of only 50 people in a city that may be inhabited by thousands of people will be the clan that represents a city..”

The woman intentionally blurted the end of her words and shrugged.

“So. To become a representative clan, you have to have a lot of people. Do you mean this?”

“That’s what I’m saying from a normal point of view.”

“It’s hard to agree. A large number of people doesn’t necessarily mean a good clan.”

“So you said we’d look at it from a general point of view. Except in special cases, was there a representative clan with a small number of people? In other words, the clan that manages the city should be the perfect and perfect clan that has nothing lacking, even if there is nothing very good in one respect. That’s what I’m saying.”

That’s a very direct shot at the machine.

“Definitely, I agree that the best Clan should be the representative Clan. Then let me ask you a question.”

I pulled up the corners of my smile.

“Among the many Clan members, are there any Clan rated higher than ours?”

At that moment, a light of agitation flashed through the woman’s eyes.

“He, it’s….”

“FYI, the ratings printed on the user’s information are the most objective indicators of where the clan is located. It’s a system that only rises with 100% performance. Anyway, unless you’re a fool, you’ll know.So, do you have one?”

The woman’s turtleneck moved in a gulp.

“Well, I mean…This, the number of people….Province, you can take on administrative tasks that are essential to city management…. That… is a significant impact..”

Still, whether she didn’t want to step down from here, the woman stammered and continued. Then, I kept mentioning the same words like a parrot, and I breathed a short sigh.

“You keep saying the number of people…I’ll answer that part as well, we have a plan to expand the workforce soon.”

Then slowly, I stood up and looked around the user who was staring blankly at the stage.

“I have a question for those who are here today.”

Never thought I’d ask a question, but the users looked dumbfounded.

“If we recruit a new family at the end of this meeting, are there people who would like to join us? If you’re interested in joining, please raise your hand lightly.”

The users stayed still at first. Soon, however, one by one, two, began to raise their hands, and in the past, they were indescribably raised. Even if you look around, it was just over a thousand.

After looking around like that, I turned back to where the woman was standing.

“Well, that’s a lot.”

“…….”

The woman also kept her mouth shut, her face colored with dirt, as if she had seen a user raising his hand.

“In a few hours, our specialty will be the clan with the largest number of people. Are you relieved now?”

The woman didn’t open her mouth any more. He stared at the ground and suddenly sat down, biting his lower lip.

I supported my face with one hand, and then flicked my chin toward the sunken east.

The previous two fell back, and it meant that the next player should come out.
