Episode 268
China’s sudden dispatch of a mission.
And Shin Korea and Kim Tae-hyun’s ridiculous force and response.
The world was in an uproar due to an unexpected incident.
The meeting, which was halfway through, was temporarily suspended due to a sudden incident.
We will hold China responsible for the murder of its own player sent as an envoy.
It was a declaration of war that they would be willing to go to war.
When a war breaks out, someone is bound to gain and someone will suffer a loss.
At that time, everyone was holding their breath and watching to see how the relationship between New Korea and China would develop.
Ji Jin-hee held a press conference.
50 Chinese players known to have been crushed by Taehyun.
The story was that all of them, without exception, were alive.
There are more than one person who watched them take their lives on TV.
People thought China would not accept it, saying it was nonsense.
But why?
The Chinese government and the association lowered their voices as if they had lost the justification for the attack.
Ji Jin-hee announced that Lee Jeong-soo and 50 other players from the Chinese association would be imprisoned on charges of trespassing into the country’s territory and smuggling into the country.
In a situation like the calm before the storm.
Although China took a strong stance late, world public opinion had already cooled.
Just Lee Jeong-su, the head of the delegation and the chairman of Taesan Group.
All he could do was go on the airwaves as a criminal.
Before being imprisoned in Player Prison.
“Call a lawyer!!”
This was Lee Jeong-soo’s last appearance caught on camera.
The association formed a special team to search for those involved in this incident.
Onsaemiro and Magicians dispatched an emergency support team to support the association.
Meanwhile.
One of the parties in the case.
Taehyun was nowhere to be seen.
* * *
That night when a Chinese player went on a rampage.
Three men met in the VIP room of the Players Association.
They were Go Tae-wook, Seo Sang-ik, and Tae-hyun.
“The president of the association is talking with ministers.”
Go Tae-wook said quietly.
As he said, Ji Jin-hee was meeting with ministers and talking to them, saying that she would negotiate on this incident.
This is because the government is not taking a proper stance toward China, citing the worsening economy as an excuse.
Although it was an obvious case, it seemed difficult to handle as the lobbying had already ended.
If the political world fails to come up with a proper solution like this.
It was a time when Lee Jeong-su had to be released.
“They are truly ridiculous people.”
Ko Tae-wook criticized high-ranking government officials who act for their own interests.
The current government is friendly to China, thanks to lobbying from China, and the previous government is friendly to Japan, thanks to lobbying from Japan.
Even though they are all public officials appointed for the new Korea.
In fact, they are moving for the sake of individuals, not for the sake of the new Korea.
Ji Jin-hee always hated such people, so she responded by not interacting with them.
This incident is not something that can be handled carelessly, so we are moving quickly.
“How is the atmosphere?”
Seo Sangik asked.
“Not good. If time continues like this, a court battle will eventually become inevitable… .”
“You can’t hold on to it for long.”
Taehyun continued as if it was clearly expected.
“okay. “What a bunch of damned guys.”
Ko Tae-wook once again criticized the government’s weak attitude.
Pathetically, the first thing they stumbled upon was the economy.
Lee Jeong-soo’s logic is that if China imposes economic sanctions, the economy of the new Korea, which relies on trade, will collapse.
Ji Jin-hee was yelling at them, saying that security was more important.
From the moment it became a political issue, it was as if the muddy fight had begun.
“What’s going on with ‘those guys’?”
Taehyun asked Seo Sangik.
“Surprisingly, there is no problem with everyone’s lives.”
“That’s amazing.”
Contrary to what he said, Taehyun’s expression did not seem that surprising.
“Yeah, it’s amazing.”
What they were talking about was none other than Chinese players who committed suicide.
Apparently, they all took their own lives due to the influence of ‘Ataraxia’ used by Taehyun.
Some people stabbed their hearts, and others slit their throats with their own hands.
Anyway, one thing is certain.

Except for Lee Jeong-soo and the player who attacked first and fainted, everyone was caught in Tae-hyun’s ataraxia and suffered a single death.
Afterwards, the body was frozen with Lim Ah-young’s skill, and an autopsy was started at a nearby hospital, assuming it had become a corpse.
surprisingly.
Although life stopped for a moment, their hearts were beating again with renewed strength.
Magic stone.
It is a power that can be said to be evidence of demonization.
New Korea was secretly investigating the cause without disclosing the fact to the media.
“It is certain that they experimented with demonization. Some have already shown regenerative abilities.”
“Can you submit it as evidence?”
Seo Sang-ik shook his head in response to Taehyun’s question.
“Rather, they would claim that we forced the experiment. “I know it’s alive, so preparations to cut off its tail must be underway right now.”
If there was a concern that evidence would be caught, it would not have been sent to a case like this.
Seo Sang-ik nodded.
“Was this what you expected?”
Go Tae-wook asked, looking at Tae-hyeon, who still seemed to not notice anything.
“No way. “I just hoped it was a delusion.”
Taehyun shrugged his shoulders and answered.
To that answer.
‘I expected it.’
‘I knew it.’
Go Tae-wook and Seo Sang-ik each had that thought.
“Well, anyway, it’s already happened, so why not just resolve it?”
Taehyun smiled kindly.
The gaze turned to Seo Sang-ik.
“Guild leader. How was the vaccine administered?”
“I checked earlier and administered all medications. But how will the gray disease vaccine react to demonization? .”
Seo Sang-ik frowned.
The gray disease does not work on those who succeed in the demonization experiment.
However, it is difficult to say that the vaccine for gray disease is a vaccine for demonization.
Even if they are no different from demons.
Normally, we would not have administered drugs whose effectiveness has not been proven to overseas players.
But Taehyun’s intention was stubborn.
They asked if they could transmit the gray disease, and said that vaccination should be a priority for the safety of the country’s citizens.
From the development of vaccines to the suppression of incidents.
Has Taehyun ever been wrong?
Since they were two people who knew that, they had no choice but to follow Taehyun’s words and watch.
There is no harm in being careful in advance.
“Boss. “I think we need to strengthen our guard just in case.”
Both Go Tae-wook and Seo Sang-ik paid attention to the word ‘perhaps’.
“I hope this meeting ends without incident.”
I know that Taehyun doesn’t say empty words.
so that.
‘I guess I’ll have to bring in the four major guilds.’
‘I guess I’ll have to declare a state of emergency.’
The two had no choice but to remain silent.
* * *
“This kind of shit…” .”
Lee Jeong-soo cursed softly.
To yourself, not to anyone else.
I took on this task because I judged there was enough potential.
However, given the current situation, it would not be surprising if Chairman Jeong Cheong cut off the tail of himself.
‘No, he is a man who can be cut down enough.’
He will eliminate himself and probably take over Taesan Group, which has completely relocated.
Ji-Hong Min also needs the capital and power of Taesan Group, not an individual named Jeong-Soo Lee.
In that respect, I was in a perfect situation to cut my tail off.
Even if it were me, I would have done the same.
‘shit.’
Lee Jeong-soo recalled what happened a few hours ago.
Taehyun Kim.
This guy’s strength was beyond imagination.
There was no other way to explain what had just happened.
If it weren’t for that guy, it would have been a pretty decent fight.
The melee would have given justification for the S-rank players who were hiding to intervene.
China and its President would have gained justification to dispatch a large army.
But now, it’s just like giving up the justification to the new Korea.
I could vividly see Chairman Jeong Cheong yelling.
‘There is still hope.’
Several faces came to mind who had taken money from China and themselves.
Political and business figures who are said to be the leading figures of the new Korea.
They can’t leave themselves like this.
More than anything.
‘It’s not like there is no income.’
Lee Jeong-soo recalled the last command Tae-hyeon gave.
Commit suicide.
With that one word, 49 SS-rank players slit their throats.
It was a nonsensical statement.
‘Power comes with a price.’
I know how the people he brought in obtained SS-level power.
The same goes for his son, so he knows more about it.
Demonization.
Taehyun’s mysterious power can only be explained as the power of a monster.
‘No, the truth is not important.’
If you process the facts appropriately and spread the word, the jealousy of the poor will take care of the rest.
It is a kind of water riding.
But all that.
‘This is only possible if I survive here.’
Lee Jeong-su once again gauged his hope for survival.
If he survived here, it seemed like he had a good chance of winning with the Chinese government and the association at his back.
Meanwhile.
“nice… ah… .”
“100 million… .”
“body… .”
“It’s hot… .”
50 players who were imprisoned like Jeongsu Lee.
50 players who were administered Xyz, the gray disease vaccine injected by Seo Sang-ik, began to show abnormal reactions.
This was happening without Lee Jeong-soo knowing.
* * *
“The vaccine will be distributed mainly to the countries participating in the meeting. “Starting from today, an even stronger alliance for global justice will be established.”
The first world conference ended with Ji Jin-hee’s final words.
“How did it end so successfully?”
“That’s right.”
“It seems that New Korea’s power is greater than we thought.”
“More than that, Kim Tae-hyun’s strength may have been greater than expected.”
“Aren’t China’s SS-level players also suspicious?”
It was a time when envoys from several countries were having such a conversation.
Today, Go Tae-wook, who had not even seen his nose pooped, came into the conference room.
He delivered something to Association President Ji Jin-hee.
Association President Ji Jin-hee’s expression hardened.
After a while.
After giving instructions to Go Tae-wook, he took the microphone.
Everyone’s eyes turned to Ji Jin-hee.
“I’m sorry to bring you this news on such a good day, but… “It seems like a monster has appeared in New Korea.”
The surroundings suddenly became noisy.
“A monster?!!”
“Is the gate even open?”
“Please share information with us as well. President Ji Jin-hee of the Association!!”
Some delegation representatives asked that question.
Ji Jin-hee nodded and continued explaining again.
“The Chinese players who were imprisoned a while ago. It was said that they had turned into monsters. I’m wondering if it might be controversial… “The association only injected them with vaccines to prevent disease infection.”
“If it’s a vaccine against demonization… .”
“Could it be that Chinese players really… ?!!”
“Huh… haha… .”
“You mean the rumors were true…? ?!!”
finally.
“What is the level of the monster?”
Cody Cruz asked quietly.
“The grades of the currently identified monsters are all estimated to be S to SS.”
Ji Jin-hee responded as if she was embarrassed.
“SS… … ?!!”
“The association will evacuate the delegations and reporters from each country to a safe place, so please follow the instructions.”
Ji Jin-hee, who had said that, was about to hurriedly leave the conference room.
“Where are you going, Chairman of the Association?!!”
A reporter who was allowed into the conference room asked that question.
“The field is where the players are.”
The reporter could not ask any more questions to Ji Jin-hee, who disappeared along with the answer.
Naturally, everyone’s eyes turned to Taehyun.
“Wow, Kim Tae-hyun player!! The current situation… .”
“The field is where the player should be. “For others, please be careful to avoid it.”
Taehyun followed Ji Jinhee.
Cody Cruz sighed.
Michael Gore has arrived.
“With this, all of the Association President’s plans have gone astray.”
“Everyone must have fallen into Kim Tae-hyun’s trap.”
After saying that, Cody Cruz and Michael Gore belatedly took action.
