Return To Level Up

Chapter 86

Dozens of Awakened people stood looking at the place where the dungeon had been, with eerie eyes.

When I think of the hardships I had in there, I felt like I was going to cry. No, not because of hardship, but because all the monsters in there were undead.

There was nothing to gain from this dungeon hunt.

Somehow, the skeletons didn’t drop a single magic stone.

The only thing he could get was the armor imbued with the dark knights and the robes imbued with the commanders, but it was almost useless and heavy.

It was so useless that even the strong Ha-jin didn’t take it.

So, I just said fight and die.

I almost died several times, exhausted several times and got up again and again.

After going through such a process, the dungeon was eventually closed, so how intense must the emotions have been?

However, it was not in vain at all, as compensation would come from the management office.

Since it is a new type dungeon, the reward will be quite large.

However, since it has to be shared with everyone, the return will be small.

Considering only the material things, that was enough.

But in this dungeon, they gained something that cannot be converted into money.

It was just the experience.

The experience of fighting this time will save their lives many times over and over again.

And finally, they made connections.

“Didn’t you tell me in advance that you are the Master of the Guardians?”

The man who initially rebelled against Ha-jin Kang scratched the back of his head and said with an awkward expression.

Of course, that wouldn’t have changed anything.

The question of whether the Guardian’s Master is real is often discussed at the drinking party among the Awakened.

That means it doesn’t exist. Well packaged, it’s a mystery.

So, just because the Guardian is great, you wouldn’t have expected that the Master would demonstrate his abilities in the dungeon.

Anyway, the Awakener just wanted to say something like that to get rid of the awkward memory.

“Can we hunt together again later? Just contact us at any time and we will come right away.”

He said so and carefully handed his business card.

When Ha-jin Kang took it lightly, she ran to her with business cards from all over the place.

“I am prepared to accept any conditions. Just call me anytime.”

The impact of the buff seemed to be great.

Hajin Kang accepted everyone’s business cards without discriminating against anyone.

Whether or not I could use it was a different matter.

It was evident that everyone was regretting breaking up right away, but Ha-jin Kang broke up on the spot without wasting any more time.

Instead, it did not stop Hwang Soo-young from following.

The Dungeon Breaker guild members tried to follow Hwang Soo-young, but Hwang Soo-young sent them away with a glance and gesture.

Since everyone noticed, he quickly backed away and went in the other direction.

Then, the other Awakened Awakeneds who had been skeptical until then also returned with an aha, expression on their faces.

Hwang Soo-young walked side by side with Kang Ha-jin with a satisfied expression.

Then, Hajin Kang opened his mouth with a calm expression.

“Now that the dungeon is closed, shall we finish what we talked about earlier?”

“Yes? What were you talking about earlier?”

Then, Ha-jin Kang turned her head and looked at Su-yeong Hwang.

“Didn’t you follow me to talk about that? Japan.”

“Ah… Japan. Yes. We have to save those people.”

It was a slightly weak voice, but Ha-jin Kang thought it was because of his worries about people in Japan.

“Once we need to know exactly what the situation in Japan is right now, we can make a plan, so let’s check that first.”

“Ok.”

Hwang Soo-young’s answer was somewhat short and his voice seemed to have subsided.

“We just do as much as we can. Maybe it wouldn’t have changed if we had gone to Japan beforehand. Think of it as an opportunity like this because you didn’t go back then.”

“Ah… that’s right. It really is.”

Hwang Soo-young laughed as he answered. Then he shook his head and returned to his original form.

“good. Then let’s do it right this time.”

As Hwang Soo-young vigorously walked ahead, Kang Ha-jin looked at her with a smile and looked at her back.

Would the world be a little different at that time if you had stayed until the end without coming out of Dungeon Breaker before the return?

I suddenly had a thought.

* * *

Ha-jin Kang and Soo-young Hwang were reading documents piled up on the table in Ha-jin Kang’s private meeting room at the Guardians’ headquarters.

As soon as I got back, I gathered as much information about Japan as possible from all sides.

There was information prepared by Myeong-in Hyuk, and there was information that Hwang Soo-young mobilized from her personal network and extracted from the Awakened Persons Administration.

He also sought information secured by A-Market through A-Yeon Jung.

There were a lot of overlapping things, but there were also many that didn’t.

All of them were valuable information.

Among them, the one with the most amount of information was from A-Market, followed by Myung In-hyeok and the Awakened Management Agency the most.

No, there was not much to be gained because there was too much overlap with the other two information rather than incomplete.

Although A-Market had an opportunity to withdraw from Japan, it failed to do so, and the loss was severe.

There was a lingering resentment, so I was obsessed with it, so I extracted a huge amount of information.

At that time, when Jeong A-yeon insisted that she take a step back from fighting DM in Japan, the people who attacked Jeong A-yeon with equal force and opposition had almost backed off now, so the aftermath seemed to be not formidable.

Needless to say, those who opposed it at the time saw it as an opportunity and insisted on strengthening support for Japan.

That’s how they put their lines into Japan.

Jeong A-yeon moved in the opposite direction.

So he was able to cut a little bit more of the damage he had to do.

Thanks to that, Jeong A-yeon’s position has been strengthened.

So, when providing information this time, I was able to hand over much higher quality information than usual.

Currently, Jung A-Yeon was in charge of the Asian region of A-Market. And it was getting more and more powerful.

Now, in the Asian region, there was no one to say to Jung A-yeon, even if she arbitrarily handled the matter.

That’s how much authority it has.

If the authority is strengthened a little bit more, it will be possible to use the power of the Asian region to invest in other regions, so it has become a huge global company in itself.

Anyway, it was a good thing for Hajin Kang.

Jung A-yeon was on the side of Kang Ha-jin, who was perfect for now, and DM suffered a loss that could not be compared with A-Market due to this incident.

Time continued to pass even while checking the data.

“Sigh. It’s not that hard.”

Hwang Soo-young put the materials on the table and washed her face dry.

The situation in Japan was much worse than I thought. Maybe he thought he might not be able to save them.

“The good news is that they are also looking for ways to escape from there, so we have to wait and see.”

“At the government level, there is not a single country that is stepping up for Japan, and it is very difficult.”

“Everyone will be busy putting out the fire that fell on their feet.”

“That’s right. To be honest, we are not in a situation where we can be so reassured.”

Korea was relatively free compared to other countries thanks to its successful defense of dungeon raids.

And it was preventing the appearance of the dungeon that had started again quite effectively.

But even then, I couldn’t be reassured. No, no one was relieved.

Because you never know when things will change again.

As it has been many times already.

“The problem is that there is no port to use. Everyone is a monster. Anyway, you bad bastards.”

The problem was that in the process of escaping the Japanese government, monsters flocked to the harbor and occupied it.

No, now there are far more people who suspect that the Japanese government has intentionally dragged monsters into all available ports.

They were the ones left behind. If you look at what you’ve been doing so far, that’s really the case.

“So does America. Why the hell did you accept them?”

Hwang Soo-young finally burst into anger.

“I saw that there was a lot to pick from.”

“But it belongs to the people, not to the Japanese government. They can’t use it like water on their own.”

The people of the Japanese government were living a luxurious life with the money and goods they had stolen.

Their financial power was amazing.

Immediately after the dungeon air strike, in order to overcome the crisis, donations were received from companies and individuals and taxes were levied.

As Ha-jin Kang continued to watch the Japanese situation, something was bothering him and he could not stand it.

In fact, he didn’t even have to do this to save people in Japan.

Even before the return, Japan was destroyed in a similar way.

But now I couldn’t let it go.

Something was bothering me and I was worried.

‘What the hell is touching me like this?’

Ha-jin Kang was thinking like that, and he picked up the first document he saw. He wanted to double-check that he hadn’t missed anything.

And then he threw out a word.

“Then we have to find the owner again. I wonder what will happen.”

Hwang Soo-young opened her eyes at those words and looked at Kang Ha-jin.

“Are you going to rescue them and send them to America?”

Suddenly, I realized that there is no way not to do that. And I thought maybe that would be the most reasonable way.

The problem was the American reaction.

Hwang Soo-young shook her head. The more I think about it, the more my hip hurts. Don’t think before it gets complicated.

She threw herself back into the sea of ​​information.

* * *

A plan was established to rescue those who remained in Japan.

There, the Dungeon Breaker, the Guardians, and the Small and Medium Guild Alliance decided to participate.

The response from the government, including large corporations, giant guilds, and the Awakening Administration, was lukewarm.

They only delayed the decision and gave no confirmation.

Ha-jin Kang didn’t even want their help, so he just proceeded with the preparations.

Anyway, because they didn’t participate, I was able to tailor the plan to Hajin Kang’s taste.

The plan is to send those rescued from Japan directly to the United States.

Also, Ha-jin Kang was able to decide who to save.

First of all, Cho Won-young and other chaebols who had crossed over from Korea fled Japan together with the Japanese government.

That is why there was no response from large corporations.

Because there was nothing to gain by going.

However, it was not only the direct descendants of chaebols like Cho Won-young who went to Japan.

There were others. Most were Awakened.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

They are literally abandoned. What will happen if they come back alive?

Shall we go under Jo Won-young again and be loyal?

Anyway, I was able to draw an interesting picture.

The operation was simple.

It’s about reclaiming the port occupied by the monster and sending people there on ships.

After all, it was the port the Japanese government used to escape.

So those who survived in Japan were not far from there.

However, the situation was too difficult to afford to secure a port.

Although the port facilities were damaged a lot by the monster, there was no problem in getting the ships close.

I’m not trying to do anything great, I just have to carry it around.

Of course, I needed a ship and supplies that I had prepared in advance, so I decided to get it from A-Market.

Not just one or two. We decided to rescue as many ships as we could and send them off.

I don’t know if it’s the power of A-Market, but the US viewed this operation very positively and decided to provide various support.

They also provided a ship as much as possible, and made it possible to carry the Awakened Koreans to that ship.

The operation went really smoothly.

The Guardians, Dungeon Breakers, and the Awakening of the Small and Medium Guild Alliance, who quietly escaped from Korea, ascended to the port adjacent to the Pacific Ocean, and a fierce battle ensued from then on.

And they became addicted to the taste of the buff that Ha-jin Kang poured out.

The Awakened people who occupied the port like that, built a base camp there and cleared out the surrounding monsters, building a solid defense network.

You have to build up your defenses until you can load as many people as possible.

And the Awoken who received Hajin Kang’s buff performed the task very well.

I couldn’t save everyone, but I did my best nonetheless.

As people were put on the ships one after another, the defenses built up by the Awoken and the military inevitably in Japan were inevitably weakened little by little.

They too must retreat together, and many people have died in the process.

Still, it was able to save a lot of people.

Tens of thousands of people boarded ships and headed to the United States.

Of the nearly 130 million people, only tens of thousands survived, but everyone was happy nonetheless.

Anyway, I survived.

In the process, agents from the U.S. government recruited the leaders of those rescued.

That is why the United States intervened.

Originally, it was something that had to be done by putting in the awakening of one’s country, but Ha-jin Kang said that he would come forward and help him, so he had no choice but to welcome it with two arms.

Anyway, that’s how the Japanese operation ended.

No, it seemed to be over.

If Ha-jin Kang did not bring up the story of staying alone in Japan at the end.
