Only I Am the Magic Tower Chapter 172
“Why did you decide that?”
In response to the association president’s opposition, Frost bowed his head.
“No. How dare I. I just decided that it would be better to have a high-ranking guild that can clear the dungeon the fastest as the strategy team.”
“The defense team is more important than the attack team, you idiot.”
Hongyul’s reaction was perverse.
“I’m telling you in advance, don’t you guys think of turning your backs and suppressing small and medium-sized kids and monopolizing the strategy team?”
“……You are going too far with your words, Mr. Association President.”
“Hey, Jeong Ha-jin.”
Her golden eyes sparkled.
“During the labyrinth dungeon, you were so stubborn, but only in times like this are you really passionate?”
Frost cleared his throat.
“Chairman of the Association, in public…”
“Yeah, f*ck you, Sibarama. Do you think it’s just him? You’re all the same, you bastards! This isn’t business, it’s a disaster created to destroy humanity!”
The surroundings were filled with silence as Hongyul spoke. She rested her chin and smiled grimly.
“And you guys keep treating me like hot pants. Do you think I don’t know that a large amount of relic items were poured out of the Immortal Dungeon?”
Frost’s eyebrows twitched.
“……that!”
“Okay, everyone, calm down.”
When Park Jeong-yang directly intervened, Frost bowed his head and sat down. Park Jeong-yang looked at Hong Yul.
“President of the Association Lee Bo-sio.”
“what.”
She is a woman with a harsh tone of voice. However, Park Jeong-yang spoke with patience.
“Unix is a company that has contributed greatly to Korea. It was the same during the Labyrinth Dungeon, and it is investing a lot of money for this disaster as well. Oh, of course, the same goes for other guilds and management here. So, as for the guaranteed dungeon…”
“It would be invested in your back pockets, not in Korea.”
At those words, Park Jeong-yang’s face turned even redder.
“Well, such a statement is a grave insult!”
“Yes, yes. Stop covering it up for kickbacks and think about it with common sense. If all these bastards here go to eat relics, who will protect the people? Also, are you going to call in 4th and 5th level kids from small and medium-sized guilds or masked huddlers?”
“President of the Association! Of course, we must prepare defense measures first and then…”
“Hey, you guys.”
Hongyul cut off the guild master’s words and spat out coldly.
“I’ll nail it down in advance. There’s no such thing as a guaranteed dungeon.”
“…….”
“For each guild, prepare only one attack party and report it. I also know that if I don’t think the party composition is right, I will reject it. The rest is city defense.”
Even the guild masters who had been silent at those words immediately stood up and protested.
“Please reconsider! I think it would be a wise decision to give more strength to the strategy team, regardless of other interests!”
“There is no end to this disaster just by defending the city! There are a whopping 14 defense points. If all of the top 10 guilds put all their effort into it, we can clear 10 dungeons in a short period of time! We will participate in the defense for the remaining 4 “If you leave the strategy to a mid-sized guild, there will be no problem with fairness!”
“The strategy team is the key and the key! Investing your best effort into the strategy team is the natural choice!”
The guild masters were using various rhetorical words to explain why top guilds should join the strategy group, but to Hongyul’s ears, it just sounded like well-fed pigs wagging their tongues.
It’s abominable.
In Korea, all honey is sold.
“To put it bluntly, I don’t think it’s profitable if we don’t guarantee exclusive dungeons to the top 10 guilds that invest the most power and budget for Korea!”
Create a guild by sucking in the talent of this country.
They eat up the taxes this country pays like hippopotamuses and swell their size.
By monopolizing the dungeons and hunting grounds in this country.
“If there is no merit like an exclusive dungeon, I don’t see the need for our guild to participate in this disaster. I’m thinking about withdrawing from the disaster right now.”
Why don’t we fight to protect this country?
“Hey, you guys.”
Hongyul smiled.
“Are you acting a bit too much today?”
Coo coo coo coo!
A tremendous sense of intimidation flowed from Hongyul’s body. The faces of everyone in the conference room turned as white as a sheet of paper.
“You became a guild master and got kicked in the head, and then you even left the world? I’ve let you go too much these days, haven’t I?”
She grinned.
“Would you like to try something like old times after a long time?”
Even the amazing Top 10 guild masters were unable to move, like mice in front of a snake, due to their terrible lives.
Some of them were even breaking into a cold sweat, as if they were feeling extremely scared. Just making eye contact felt like a knife was touching my uvula.
“Look! Association president! Don’t you know what kind of place this is? Calm down!”
The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff shouted urgently. The expression on President Park Jeong-yang’s face, sitting next to him, was also speechless. Only then did she lose her sense of life and intimidation.
“This is an order, you scum.”
She gritted her teeth as she looked at the guild masters.
“All of the representatives here, first plan the size of the troops to be deployed to defend the city and report it directly to me in person. Depending on that size, the size of your attack team will be determined. And I tell you in advance, your T.O. Even those who can’t get in will definitely get out.”
At those words, the expressions of the guild masters became even stronger.
“Let’s go, you bastards.”
Hong Yul left with just those words.
Everyone was muttering with puzzled faces. Jeong Ha-jin had an expressionless face, and Park Jeong-yang’s face was blushing to the limit at the fact that she had been completely ignored.
“Whoa.”
And today, Lim Nam-jin, the head of the executive branch, has furrowed his brows.

“So, our Garam is in charge of the defense of the Gyeongnam region!”
I listened to CEO Shin Nara’s story at the cafe. I think it was a very bloody meeting.
“Well, you must have had a hard time.”
Shinnara scooped up the strawberry smoothie with a spoon and took it in her mouth. ‘Umm-‘ She let out an exclamation.
“I was just quietly keeping my mouth shut in the meeting room. When the president of the association suddenly started making threats, I almost burst into laughter.”
“……haha.”
After listening to the story, the positions of the association president and guild masters were clear.
The president of the association is in charge of overseeing hunters in Korea. The protection of the people is the top priority. It seems like there is also a personal sense of duty towards human life.
On the other hand, the essence of a guild is a business, and the company’s greatest goal is the pursuit of profit. Why would they pay expensive recruitment fees to bring hunters to run dungeons? It’s all about making money.
It was natural that the interests of these two forces conflicted.
Well, still, the guilds that kept revealing only artifacts in a disaster situation where people’s lives were at stake also crossed the line, and Hong Yul, who just ignored all opinions and suppressed them with force, was also unwise.
It does not seem easy to resolve the conflict between the two forces.
“Hunter Yushin Kim!”
“Ah, yes!”
I belatedly came to my senses and answered after hearing Shin Nara’s voice.
“Hunter, will you also participate in this disaster?”
“Oh, of course. This time, I will take all the hunters I have with me.”
“Oh! Are you a full member? I’m looking forward to it!”
Although the situation inside is unstable… … I just have to fulfill the roles I can play.
The time has finally come to show the power of Mage Tower that has been developed over the years.

Unix Guild. Gangnam new building.
Frost broke a glass of wine on the floor. Torn curtains, spilled drinks, the room was full of signs of his mess.
“Huh! Huh! Huh!”
He was putting his head down on the glass window to calm his high blood pressure.
“Are you okay, CEO?”
A man dressed in a butler’s uniform asked politely. It seemed like it was a familiar occurrence, and no matter what Frost did, he just watched quietly.
“…I didn’t want to see myself like this, so I didn’t want to do this job!”
Frost, with his head stuck against the glass window, raised his eyes.
“Why do I have to bow down while hearing insults from a woman from a family that doesn’t have much? Why me? What’s wrong with me?”
He kicked an expensive watch that was lying on the floor, as if he couldn’t let go of his anger. Luxury goods worth hundreds of millions of dollars broke the window and flew away.
He took a deep breath, then turned his head and said:
“Secretary Ahn.”
“Yes, CEO.”
“I request a meeting with the Blackguard, Tartanos, and the NIX guildmaster. Let’s see each other for a moment.”
“All right.”
Secretary Ahn took out a notepad from his shirt and quickly wrote down the schedule.
“And a guest has just arrived at the mansion, what should we do?”
“Guest? Who?”
“I am the youngest master.”
“Aha. Look at me. I want you to come in.”
“I’m moving rooms.”
“Oh, it’s okay. It’s okay. Just tell me to come.”
After Secretary Ahn closed the door and left, a few moments later, a polite knock was heard.
“You are the youngest master.”
“Let me in.”
The door opened, and a neat-looking man wearing horn-rimmed glasses came in. Frost, who was sitting on the sofa and holding a wine glass, grinned.
“It’s been a while. Seojin.”
Jeong Seo-jin entered the room and looked around. It was a mess with broken glass and torn curtains, but he didn’t pay much attention and opened his mouth.
“What did you call me for? Representative Jeong?”
“Hey, isn’t it too bleak between family members? I wish they would call me second brother in a friendly way like before.”
“If you don’t have anything to do, I’ll go.”
“Okay, okay. It’s still not fun.”
Frost snapped his fingers and motioned for me to sit down. Jeong Seo-jin sat in the chair across from him.
“Would you like a drink?”
“Tell me about the business you called me.”
“Yeah, yeah. Um.”
Frost said while gently rolling the wine glass in his hand.
“First of all, congratulations on becoming a certified hunter, little brother.”
“…….”
“The reason I didn’t say anything at home was because I thought you had finally figured out fractions.”
He shrugged.
“You’ve given up all your business greed now, right?”
“…….”
“Yes. Hunter work is good. It’s the work of a lowly butcher who makes a living by killing monsters and selling their corpses. It’s hard work, but in this corrupted world, someone has to do it. But these days, if you become a hunter, you get treated like a star and the income is good. So, I’m glad I don’t have any aversion to the hunter profession.”
Frost, who had been telling a series of stories, smiled softly.
“Are you finally ready to become a dog?”
“Isn’t that the same for CEO Jeong?”
“Me? Oh, I’m not a hunter. I’m a businessman.”
Frost corrected.
“The reason I became a Level 2 certified public official was out of necessity. The trend is that the position of guild master requires a certain level of strength. If you are a guild master who used to be a professional manager, you are completely ignored in the industry. To put it in a more profane way… yes, the number of openings. I guess that’s okay. Compared to what my older brothers and sisters do, it’s not a very honorable job. Hehe, I admit that.”
Jeong Seo-jin did not respond at all. She just stayed still as if she was telling me to give it a try.
“It’s admirable that you decided to become a dog… but you’ve been preparing a gift for our family recently?”
“……gift?”
“Hey, why are you pretending not to know again? You’ve been hanging out with Kim Yu-shin these days.”
Jeong Seo-jin’s eyes were agitated for a moment.
“You’re preparing a secret gift this time, right? Hey, how do you know that my family is interested in potions! When are you going to give it to me? I gave the IT industry to my eldest sister, so I’m going to give this one to my older brother, right?”
Jeong Seo-jin smiled for the first time since coming here.
“You crazy bastard.”
