Return To Level Up

Chapter 21

Joo Myung-woo looked at Kang Ha-jin with a somber expression.

They are now in an abandoned factory.

The giant is now over. All of his subordinates died or were subordinated to Taesan, and several businesses were also in the process of being transferred to Taesan.

“They will eventually find it here too. They have some very ghostly people to chase people down.”

Joo Myung-woo’s tone was tinged with deep resignation.

Ha-jin Kang did not even comfort him, nor did he tell him that it would be okay. I just kept quiet and listened to what he had to say.

Joo Myung-woo was no different from Ji Chang-gi.

He has now become as miserable as a dog in the rain after losing the war, but he was also the boss of the organization that commanded the dark district.

He would not be able to count the number of people he killed, either directly or indirectly, using all his fingers and toes.

He was also with those with him. So there was no sympathy.

What Kang Ha-jin wanted was for them to survive as long as possible and gnaw at the spears.

Joo Myeong-woo lamented himself for a while after that.

His eyes began to come alive little by little as he poured out some of the things inside.

“Whoa. It seems like I’m the only one talking too much. Now, let’s talk frankly. Why did you save me? What do you want?”

Kang Ha-jin slowly opened her mouth at that time.

“If I tell you what you want, will you listen to everything?”

“It depends on what you want and what you can give me, doesn’t it? Of course, I will pay the price for saving me.”

Rather, it was easier to talk about it that way. Joo Myung-woo wanted to prove that he was worthy.

“I will pay the price I saved first.”

Joo Myung-woo pulled out a small USB stick from his arms.

“Swiss bank account information. Five million dollars in it. And… this is the password.”

Myung-Woo Joo wrote something on his memo diligently, so he held it out with a USB stick. Kang Ha-jin received it and nodded his head and said.

“In addition to this, I would like to receive information about the dungeon possessed by the giant.”

“Dungeon?”

Joo Myung-woo frowned slightly.

“Is that what you really want? Well… that’s good. If I had it anyway, I wouldn’t be able to use it, but it’s not a waste.

Joo Myung-woo took out another USB. He must have gotten the information in this way while running away.

“There is also some information about the dungeons of Taesan and other organizations that we researched separately, so it might be quite interesting to check them out.”

Kang Ha-jin’s eyes lit up at those words. I still needed more dungeons, but it worked.

Then suddenly, I thought that maybe I could just take all the USBs I had.

As if reading his thoughts, Joo Myung-woo quickly added words.

“The password is all in my head. If you kill me, you won’t get anything. USBs are hidden everywhere.”

After seeing that Ha-jin Kang’s eyes had calmed down again, Myung-woo Joo sighed in relief.

In his view, Hajin strong was not an ordinary awakening person. So he has to be careful until he finds some strength.

He’s so angry that if he throws one punch at him, his head will explode and he’ll die.

“Come on, we don’t have much time, so let’s hurry up and get what we want from each other. What does the teacher really want?”

Hajin Kang paused for a moment before answering.

“It’s the worm that gets fucked.”

Joo Myeong-woo looked at Kang Ha-jin blankly, as if he had not expected it, and then laughed out loud.

“Uh-huh! Please tell me sooner rather than later! Whoa! You came very well. No one is as useful as me to fuck that bastard bastard! Whoa!”

Joo Myung-woo stopped his laughter and looked at Kang Ha-jin with sharp eyes.

Desire and hope overflowed in his eyes.

Hajin Kang looked straight into her eyes and waved the USB in her hand.

“You know that there is no future with just this one, right?”

Joo Myung-woo nodded his head without delay.

“Of course. I don’t intend to wash my mouth with that one. So please help.”

“Do you want to rebuild the organization?”

Joo Myung-woo shook his head. It seemed that fire was gushing out of his eyes.

“The organization is already over. You can never go back to the old giant castle if you have to re-establish an organization. I am the dog who lost the fight.”

Kang Ha-jin looked at Joo Myung-woo as if to keep talking.

“It’s better to just blaspheme as the boss of such an organization and just retire in a flash in the eyes of other organizations.”

Joo Myung-woo paused for a moment. About three minutes or so he said nothing and bit his molars tightly.

“There is a base I have set up in Southeast Asia. Send me there when you’re done.”

Hajin Kang nodded his head willingly.

Then Joo Myung-woo poured out the decision he had just made through three minutes of deliberation.

“If you do that, I will give you everything I have in Korea.”

Hajin Kang nodded her head and stood up.

“I’m the person who hates being hit in the back the most. Just keep that in mind.”

“I see.”

“I will save people. With people who can fight regardless of fire.”

Joo Myung-woo’s eyes lit up when he heard that.

Boom!

The table was split in half by Ji Chang-gi’s fist. Ji Chang-gi’s body trembled.

The subordinates who watched it swallowed dry saliva.

“You call it a horse now? miss it? Did you choose only the most important ones in the giant castle?”

“Sin, I’m sorry.”

Ji Chang-gi clenched his teeth and took a breath. Here, he had nothing left to show his temper. Now, we need to take action slowly.

“How is the business consolidation going?”

“It is going smoothly. Once more than half of our members have come under us, our holdings will be merged soon.”

Ji Chang-gi made a strong impression. The businesses of the giants were bright apricots.

Most of the things were not real.

It was clear that Joo Myung-woo, the chairman of Geoseong, took all the eggs. Therefore, the real merger will end only when those who escaped are caught.

“I have a lot of money, so I don’t know what to do, so find out for sure. okay?”

“Yes, brother. Don’t worry too much. I’m scouring it right now, so I’ll find it soon. Wouldn’t it be obvious what they could do?”

“Okay, let’s go. And summon some kids.”

Ji Chang-gi’s subordinate immediately understood what he wanted and bowed his head.

“I will call you right away and convene to the headquarters.”

Ji Chang-ki nodded his head and waved his hand. His men quietly went out.

Ji Chang-gi is a man alone in his office, clearing the picture hanging on the wall. There was a door to a large vault.

Skillfully, he opened the safe and took out the equipment stored in it.

It was the equipment he wore when entering the dungeon. Armor, weapons, accessories, and various potions in transparent bottles were also arranged one after another.

Ji Chang-gi put on all his equipment, packed all the necessary consumables, and headed to the underground parking lot.

When the team members come to the headquarters, they will come to the underground parking lot right away.

When Ji Chang-gi arrived at the underground parking lot, he looked at the subordinates guarding the door leading to the parking lot.

“Did nothing happen?”

“Yes. brother. It’s always the same here.”

“I will. Don’t be vigilant though. Accidents happen when you are careless.”

“I’ll keep that in mind, brother.”

“okay. When the kids come, let them in.”

“Yes, brother.”

Ji Chang-gi opened the door and entered the parking lot. And it just solidified.

“Where did you go?”

The sight of Ji Chang-gi muttering with a lively voice with the door open made his subordinates tense.

“Tongue, brother. Why?”

Ji Chang-gi slowly turned his head to look at his men.

“Where did you go to the dungeon in there?”

At this, his men were startled and hurried into the door. There was no dungeon portal that should have been there.

“Mom, I don’t know. Boo, apparently nothing has happened in the meantime!”

Meanwhile, Ji Chang-gi’s team members arrived one after another. Noticing that the atmosphere was unusual, they stood quietly, watching Ji Chang-gi’s eyes.

Ji Chang-gi was giggling for a while, then was startled by what he had been thinking, then looked at his men and shouted.

“Tell me to check all the other dungeons!”

“Yes?”

“Check to see if the dungeons we have are in good shape! right now!”

“Oh, I see.”

His subordinates as well as his teammates began to move in a hurry.

After a while, the subordinates who understood the situation began to report one after another. In conclusion, four additional dungeons disappeared.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

After receiving dungeon information from Joo Myeong-woo, Ha-jin Kang further conquered the Taesan-side dungeon.

Ji Chang-gi ran wildly along the way. But that didn’t change anything. All they did was to rush the task of merging the giants and urge them to quickly secure the leadership including Joo Myung-woo.

And the war that was thought to be over began again. It was a different kind of war than before.

The Awakeners were put in to find out how they were saved from the giant castle side.

Taesan had no choice but to counterattack with the awakening. Fortunately, there were awakened people in Taesan, so it was possible to respond sufficiently.

After that, the fight began to be messy in the giant castle. Without thinking about the latter, if you die and I die, no matter how much mountain, the damage was bound to accumulate.

Ji Chang-gi was getting more and more anxious. He thought there was only one way to end this, and that was to catch Joo Myung-Woo.

“It was hard.”

At Ha-jin Kang’s words, Ji-hye Kim put on a pleasant smile.

“What, I just did what I was told. It’s the first time in my life I’ve spent money like this.

Kim Ji-hye was in charge of all her trades with the black market.

Even on the black market, she knew a lot of people who didn’t get along well with other Awokens because of her poor life or personality problems.

She hired them with huge sums of money and gave them to Joo Myung-woo.

Joo Myung-woo’s financial power was really great. If this is the end, a new account appeared.

He had stashed funds around the world and had several offshore companies for laundry.

All of those things passed to Ha-jin Kang, step by step, and some of them were used to prepare for the war against Tae-san.

“By the way, Joo Myung-woo is really amazing. I didn’t know there was so much money.”

“I haven’t even spent 30% of my money yet. You have a lot of money to lose in the future, so keep that in mind.”

Kim Ji-hye looked at Kang Ha-jin with a puzzled expression. It’s Ha-jin Kang’s job to take out money, and he’s the one who uses it, so why did he suddenly say something like that?

“From now on, Kim Ji-hye will be in charge of Joo Myung-woo. You don’t even have to do it yourself. Anyone you can trust is fine.”

“Why all of a sudden…”

“If the second game starts properly soon, I will rob the dungeon.”

At the word dungeon, Kim Ji-hye’s eyes grew as bright as a fire.

“More, a dungeon?”

In response, Ha-jin Kang looked at her with a smirk.

“Yeah. It’s a dungeon. Why, are you interested?”

Kim Ji-hye looked at Kang Ha-jin with eyes mixed with tension and anticipation and swallowed.
