After the morning meeting, they were escorted to a restaurant and ate lunch with a lively chatter.

Tae-jung sat a little further away from them.

Even with countless delicacies in front of him, he did not touch them.

“Boss, boss… … ?”

“uh? did you call?”

“it’s okay? His expression has been… … .”

“Why is my expression?”

“scary.”

He came to his senses at Park Se-ah’s words and sighed and relaxed his expression.

“sorry. even I did not know… How angry am I? eat. Don’t notice.”

Taejeong forced the food into her mouth.

He knew very well that if he didn’t eat, she wouldn’t touch it either.

But even so, his nerves were full of thoughts of how to beat them up.

‘I think it’s worth trying even if it’s around 800 or 700. Before that, I need to get a cruise missile too.’

To put it bluntly, there was nothing he could do about the current situation.

Except for completing quests to get powerful weapons and doing quests to get more powerful weapons.

One of them was the now-hung split-type cruise missile.

A weapon that could possibly create a deterrent to conflict.

If this weapon could sit and strike parts of Seoul and the outskirts of the metropolitan area, it could be used as a negotiating card when it was combined with other weapons, even if it was not immediately known.

‘I have to figure it out somehow. But the odds are too… … .’

I was taking pictures of all the guild’s structures through b6-1, but knowing this didn’t mean I could find skill stones.

It’s just that the infiltration route and exit route are secured.

Based on this, the rest was all about searching for suspicious places.

A situation where you don’t even know what kind of alarm or alert magic is hanging.

It was a truly bleak task.

After finishing the meal, Taejeong went out to the terrace with the male executives.

No matter how much money they put into it, one building was a gold lion that was made to the end.

“Come over here for a second.”

Those were the words Taejeong spat at Park Se-ah, whose hair was blowing in the wind.

“Is it possible to blow your hair like this? turn around I’ll tie you up.”

“it’s okay. Even if I… … .”

“Look around. You can’t even see your face.”

As I was getting her hair done, I noticed a familiar silhouette in the distance.

‘Choi Da-som?’

They met face-to-face.

She walked towards Taejeong.

Park Se-ah, who saw this, moved away, and Choi Da-som, who had approached before I knew it, stood next to Tae-jung.

“See you again.”

“I know.”

“Is it a coincidence?”

“Well.”

“How did the meeting go?”

“I don’t think it will be easy. You were right. Anyway, thanks for the info.”

“What. It’s nothing great. So what are you going to do now?”

Taejeong hesitated for a moment at her question, then shook her head and answered.

“I don’t know either. I don’t have that much influence in the guild.”

“You don’t believe me.”

“Because it’s our guild job. I’m not in a position to say anything carelessly. you understand.”

“Looks like a lot has changed.”

“I?”

“Somehow, I feel like I’ve grown up, I haven’t been like this before.”

Tae-jeong laughed at her nonsensical words.

“Then you will be 30 soon, do you think it will be different? Compared to how he looks now, 8 years ago, it doesn’t match.”

“okay? Do I look older?”

“hey. 8 years. Have a conscience.”

“I see.”

The conversation ended there.

The awkward look of them looking down at the street without saying a word.

Eight years was such a time.

nothing else to say.

Tae-jeong, who had been standing side by side and looking at the street for a while, caught something in her eyes.

“But what is that?”

“where?”

“That place that looks like an oyster over there. What do you think you are working on? Is it a bunker?”

“ah. It’s the guild’s underground warehouse. It’s already been six months with the internal expansion, and now we’re almost at the finishing stage.”

“okay? How big is it and how much does it take six months to build?”

“Because it goes all the way to the 6th floor underground. Besides, it’s a first-class warehouse, so ordinary workers can’t even enter. So it has to take more time.”

“It’s the 6th floor. Certainly, the top tier is different no matter what. Digging a warehouse up to the 6th floor and using it? If it’s first grade, there must be a lot of good things in it.”

“I guess so? Because there are only two first-class warehouses in our guild. One is over there to the west. I keep my equipment, and I keep other things on each floor that you can see now. Things like rare artifacts and magic stones.”

At the word Maseok, Taejeong naturally looked back at her.

“So you’re saying that that wide space is full of magic stones?”

“It is not. There is a separate storage area for common magic stones. There are many rare items on the market. In terms of numbers, how much? Oh, we found an unusual magic stone last year. I haven’t even made it public yet. Magic stones look like cubes.”

“What? that’s real… … .”

For a moment, Tae-jeong grabbed her by the shoulder.

Then she stared at her with startled eyes.

Realizing his mistake belatedly, he laughed awkwardly and muttered.

“Why are there all the flies in a place like this?”

“Paris?”

“uh. Are there many flies here?”

“Is it because there is a restaurant right next door? I’ve never seen one.”

“But what did you stop talking about? oh Didn’t Cube say something?”

“yes. It’s a rare magic stone, but it’s a magic stone that hasn’t been registered in the World Encyclopedia yet. you know the cube The thing Seok-ho used to play with. It looks exactly like him. Although the size is much larger.”

“okay? The security must be tight enough to store such a rare magic stone.”

“right. A high-level Abyss would be possible to penetrate that place. Our guild’s flying and flying Assassins couldn’t break through the West Warehouse, which is the same system. Well, that place is under construction, so everything is down.”

At Choi Da-som’s words, Tae-jung exclaimed inwardly.

The scope is so wide that it can’t be specific, and the answer pops out like a rice cake in this dead-end situation.

It was like a miracle indeed.

But on the other hand, there was nothing to be ashamed of.

This was obviously confidential, because she was dumbfounded when she blew freely.

That’s why Taejeong was a bit suspicious.

Maybe it’s deliberately inducing.

Even if you think about it a hundred times, the probability of that is very low.

Because she doesn’t know he has cloaking skills.

“Anyway, I don’t really like your executives, but I think it’s pretty cool here. The view is pretty good too.”

“See? I actually live here.”

“This building? Wasn’t this the office building?”

“The 18th floor is a residence. So, there is a restaurant. Is it a lodging, to be exact?”

“okay? nice buy it i have to go now We have to go to the afternoon meeting soon.”

“Oh yeah. it should be there… Tae-jeong.”

“why?”

“Can we see you again later?”

“When the time comes. Let’s have a cup of coffee then.”

The afternoon talks also made little progress.

There is no concession on either side.

Even in the midst of a war of words, there was only one thought in Taejeong’s head.

‘I have to rob it today. I have to brush it off unconditionally.’

After two meaningless hours passed and they ate dinner, they returned to the hotel they had been to at the beginning.

“Would you like to take a look at the meeting minutes?”

This was the question Park Se-ah asked while holding the meeting minutes handwritten.

At those words, Taejeong, who was lost in thought with her arms crossed, shook her head and answered.

“No, it’s okay. Now is not the time to look at it.”

As if something seemed to be deeply troubled, Park Se-ah quietly sat on a chair and looked at him.

Then, what had happened on the terrace today came to mind.

His kind hand tying his hair with a nonchalant face.

It was the first time he had been touched by such a man other than his deceased father.

So I was excited.

it was good.

But she knew better than anyone that it was simple kindness.

The scene changed and another image appeared before her eyes.

Dasom Choi and Taejeong had to sit in the corner and look at them from behind.

It was a friendly look, like a lover.

‘Maybe the boss hasn’t forgotten her yet.’

I somehow hated seeing it.

that woman

Park Se-ah shook her head as if she was startled for a moment.

‘Silly. What are you thinking? A person you don’t even know… … .’

Tae-jeong stared at her, her face flushed with embarrassment, and asked.

“What are you doing?”

“yes? yes!?”

“Why are you shaking your head? why is your face red Are you sick?”

“Oh, no. Just because it’s hot… … .”

“okay? I don’t know. Anyway, I’m thinking of doing something from now on. Don’t freak out or scream.”

“What are you planning to do?”

“It’s just going to come out with a really big one. Go into your room.”

She didn’t know what he was talking about, but for now, she went into the bedroom as Tae-jeong told her to.

Afterwards, Taejeong, who was checking the living room space, summoned the protector armor.

Then, in an instant, a gas that filled the living room appeared.

Park Se-ah, who was intuitively observing the scene, became rabbit eyes and covered her mouth with both hands.

She was so shocked that she couldn’t even blink.

It was the face of a monster.

Tae-jeong’s voice came toward Park Se-ah.

“surprised? this is my skill I have something to do now. Don’t worry, just do what you do.”

Leaving her nodded with her eyes wide open, he called Gerard.

“Isn’t there a picture we took as we came and went today? Send it to the display.”

-All right. Sending complete.

As the image on the display was scaled down and enlarged, Taejeong began to find the right size.

Then, I drew a picture in Park Se-ah’s diary that I was holding in advance.

The work continued several times, and after about an hour, a map was created with the main buildings drawn.

“great. This is enough to get you there. Because what is lacking is delivered in real time.”

After completing the task, Tae-jung folded the aircraft and approached Se-ah Park, who was still frozen.

“What if you are still like that?”

“I saw it for the first time, something like that. But why did you take it out all of a sudden?”

“Because of the preparations.”

“Are you ready?”

Taejeong gently grabbed her shoulders as she tilted her head.

Then, making eye contact with her, he began to speak in a rather serious tone.

“Park Se-ah, listen to me carefully. I’m going to get out of here now Of course, I plan to keep it a secret not only from the Golden Lions, but also from the executives.”

“Are you leaving the building?”

“okay. I don’t know how long it will take to come back. 4 hours at the earliest. It could be more than that if it’s late. So your role is very important.”

“What am I… … .”

“I can’t let anyone know that I left this place. Since I went around the patrolling sword once, no one should raise it. If that happens, you have to stop it.”

“But the guild leader… … .”

“Can you?”

She nodded her head in response to his question.

“yes. I will try.”

“great. I know it’s an unreasonable request, but you’re smart. You’ll do well either way. Then believe me, Sae-ah Park.”

After saying that, Tae-jeong left the room.

And she remains alone and repeats his words.

“Believe… Park Sae-ah?”

The corner of her mouth went up with a small smile.
