Chapter 189
King of Harlem, real gangster, hip-hop incarnate, the terminator of hip-hop wars, icon of success, protector of colored people’s rights, pacifist, the man who changed Billboard, emperor of American labels.
The most influential Black man in America, number one.
King. MK.
He was smiling widely across from Lee Shin, showing off his white teeth.
“Look, they’re white.”
W̌е̄ ḃ n̊ о ṽ е l Еn̈ú mа̃
“Really, insanely white.”
“Kuk, my pride. White teeth and this manly beard.”

“Ooh… so stylish…!”
“Stylish? What’s that?”
“Ah, what do you call it, pose? Swag? Is that right?”
“Oh! Swag. I’ve got swag. I am swag.”

Pahahaha!
Lee Shin and MK laughed facing each other.
When MK first entered that door, he looked like a Black mafia boss. With the disbelief of a rapper and two bulky men in black suits flanking him, it looked like a scene from a gangster movie.
But contrary to the intimidating first impression, MK was extremely cheerful.

“The interpretation magic works well, right? I got top-grade stuff for you.”
“There’s some English mixed in, but I can handle it.”

“Good! Thank God. I got nervous since Korea is a country of manners. Maybe because I’m crude by nature, I get hives from ‘formal’ language.”
“No wonder you looked frozen when we greeted you earlier, that’s why.”
“Was it obvious?”
“Totally a rookie.”
“Fuck!! All because of you. People around me scared me stiff, saying you’re amazing and I should be careful, so I froze like a rookie. Felt like my first kiss with ‘Mary’.”
“Mary?”

“This, this.”
MK made a gesture as if flicking with thumb and index finger, and Lee Shin laughed and clapped.
His tone and gestures were as free as his music. At first glance, his attitude could be mistaken for frivolity.
Yet it couldn’t be dismissed because of the subtle aura his body exuded.
Charm? Dignity? Charisma?
For example…

‘They’re alike.’
‘Hmm.’

Cha Dong-ha and Yoon Choa’s gaze turned to Lee Shin.
Yes, MK was the person most similar to Lee Shin among all they had seen.
Lighthearted yet meticulous, fluttery yet dignified.
Lee Shin and MK both fully recognized each other.

“MK seems to hate wasting time as much as I do, so let’s get straight to the point.”
“As expected, bro, I like you more and more. Right, we can get to know each other after business is done.”
MK sipped his coffee and began.
“Bro, do you know how American guilds work in our country?”

“I know quite a bit.”
“…Oh, really?”
W e b̀nо v̇е ĺ Е̄.n u̇m̀ а̌
“Money, right? Money.”
“Oh!! Exactly!”
What kind of country is America?
A continent where God messed up.
The center of the world economy.
And the ultimate capitalist empire.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
This culture extended to American guilds.
Of course, every country’s guild values money, but in America, it was extreme.
“They price personality as marketability, skill as commercial value, how well someone wields a sword, how powerful their magic is, how much they earn for killing a monster, everything is priced. That’s why it’s the biggest market in the world, and also highly inflated.”
“Only China comes close.”
“Fuhuh, I’m talking about a proper league.”
“Pahat! Nice.”

“Even me sitting here as the owner is unusual in this country, right?”
Indeed.

Unlike here, MK, as the owner, actively involved himself in guild management.
“I bought the Mets last year. Even if they were last place, it was expensive since it’s New York. Of course, there was an existing CEO and General Manager. At the time, I trusted them. They showed me some vision.”
“Wow, but they didn’t do their job properly?”
“‘Didn’t do it properly’? Suck! Even Harlem’s drug dealers would have gotten shot if they ran business like that.”
W̆ е b́n ŏ v_е l Ẽ n üṁǎ
There was a reason they had been at the bottom of the Eastern region for years.
No plans, mismanagement of internal personnel, sloppily handled operations, all systems worse than a gang.
Could anything good come from such a lousy system? Every recruit was a dud, and even those who were supposedly verified somehow hit rock bottom once brought in.
At this point, MK, who had waited a year, seemed less like a saint and more like a sucker.

“Honestly, I wanted to overlook most of it. Oh, I’m serious. Between us, Mets was like a trophy to me. An upgraded Grammy Award? Anyway, something like that. A wretched kid from Harlem having a hometown guild…that’s swag!”
MK, who only cared about the glory his guild brought and had no intent to intervene, suddenly faced a situation that shattered his view.
Е̊n̈ ůmа
It was then.
When he was about to speak, Lee Shin cut him off.
“Because of the recent ‘SNS secret account’ incident?”
“Eh?! How did you know?”
“How could I not know? The GM insulted the raid team via a secret SNS account. ‘Stupid blacks and smelly Asians, stay out of the arena.’ It caused quite a stir.”
“Crazy incident. I never thought someone would openly be racist. Fucking great America! Dogged freedom of speech!! This is why I love America.”
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Is this what “superpower-level America” is?
The GM openly discriminated via a secret account—unthinkable in Korea.
But the surprises weren’t over. Mets’ situation was even more hopeless.
The reason was…
“The owner even liked the post. Didn’t the profile picture have the KKK symbol?”
“…You know that far?”
Èn üm̊ã
After the GM, the owner was also rotten.
This basically meant the entire front office was corrupt.

Lee Shin continued with a confident tone, as if he knew everything.
“They call them owner and GM, but when you expel them, you have to wipe out their entire line. Not easy, because those guys are good at politics too.”
“That’s only natural. If not enough people followed them, they wouldn’t have kept their bottom-ranking positions. If cleaned up, probably at least half? No, even more would be gone.”
“And among them would probably be the raid leader too.”
Е̌ñüm а. i̊ d̊
That GM, that owner, that raid leader.
With such a broken front office, the raid leader couldn’t be normal either.
The entire league plan was essentially gone.
What could the owner do in this situation? Especially one who had only recently bought the guild.

“Give up the season, or in American terms, ‘press the reset button.’”
In countries with relegation like Korea, this is unimaginable, but in America, there were occasions to end the season for various reasons.
W ё b̄nо̇v̀ е l̆ Еnū mã
A full-scale rebuilding.
When Lee Shin said this, a heavy silence fell in the owner’s office.
“……”
“……”
How did he know all this?
Bodyguards, MK, even Chae Dong-ha and Yoon Choa, who had served closely, all looked at Lee Shin with eyes as if seeing a ghost.

“…Then after that.”
“Huh?”
“After that. Why I’m here.”
“Well, the league is long, you have to do something, and then Asia caught your eye. Like taking a test. And boom, success? This is it! Anyway, the guild leadership was wiped, so let’s benchmark them!”
“Fuck. Look at that, chills.”
MK continued seriously.
Ê n ǔ mа̊.і d́
“Hey, Bro. Want to run our guild?”
“Hehe, kidding, right?”
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
“More serious than ever.”
Pressing the reset button, reluctantly following Mir Guild’s strategy—everything was exactly as Lee Shin said.
Of course, the reason Lee Shin knew this precisely was simple: besides deducing information, he already knew about the Mets guild.
‘MK… who could that be? Michael Keaton, huh?’
E ńŭm̂ӑ
Not a major character. An American comic relief and icon of misfortune.
In his main job at the label, he had the Midas touch; in Mets guild, whatever he touched turned negative, earning him the nickname “suffering Mr. Keaton” among American players.
‘Yet somehow he had a surprisingly good sense, which made him even funnier.’
Well… how should I put it… good at starting but bad at finishing? Always 2% short, leaving people frustrated— that was MK.

“Alright, Mr. Genius. Now that you’ve figured this much out, you can probably guess why I came here, right?”
“You want to transplant the structure and operation methods of our Mir Guild into Mets Guild.”
W ё b́ n̄ö v̆_е l̆ Ѐ nú m̌а̌
“Exactly. I want the victory DNA of this Mir Guild.”
“Why?”
“Because you are the future.”
By receiving that undefeated victory DNA, they would escape being a perennial last-place guild!
Because Mir Guild was the future of this era.
While other guilds hesitated, MK had no doubt about adopting Mir Guild’s strategy actively.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
But from Lee Shin’s perspective? It wasn’t really necessary.
“Honestly, I’ll tell you. I’m interested in you, MK.”
“Oh my, I’m not into men.”
“Good thing. I like women too. I have little interest in men or Mets Guild.”
“Oh dear, I’m thoroughly defeated. Not a single word to counter.”
“Because it’s the truth. And also, I’m the CEO.”
W̃е́b n̊ о̌ vе l̀ Е n úm̆а̊
It was almost like asking for a rebuilding consultation, which was entirely different from giving simple advice.
Busy as he already was with league schedules, to do this out of personal goodwill? That was behavior a representative should not engage in.

“I’m a CEO of a company first, before a club owner, so I know that much.”
“Then you also know what it takes to move me.”
“Not money, right? Your family and the guild with Woongjin-dan have no lack of funds.”
“Good. You’re a reasonable person. If you had offered money, I would have sent it back immediately.”

“Oh my, how disappointing. I was just starting to like Bro.”
When MK snapped his diamond-ringed fingers, the massive bodyguard handed over a briefcase.
At that moment—
“Not that.”

“……CEO, this was intended for recruiting a ranker.”
“Forget it. And cancel that promise now.”
É n̊umа̃
MK’s sharp senses were speaking.
Lee Shin was far bigger than he imagined, and today’s meeting was a chance to change destiny.
So, after this meeting, what had been intended for ranker recruitment— ‘that thing’— was placed as a deal.
“I’ll make an official proposal. Mets Guild wants two things: your know-how running the front, and your training methods for operating your ‘roaming strategy.’”
To obtain those, MK presented this.
Lee Shin opened the 007-style briefcase in front of him and was soon astonished.

※ F. Colt Revolver ― Legendary
: A firearm remembered as legendary from America’s Wild West. A gun symbolizing freedom and courage, romance and independence. When the cylinder clicks, outlaws tremble in fear.
“How’s that? Tempting enough now?”

A little later MK, left the CEO’s office and headed to the vehicle, was dumbfounded, laughing to himself, “Huh, huh, huh-huh,” a few times, then asked Yoon Choa, who came to see him off:
“What kind of person is your CEO?”
Ẇе̂ b̌ ñ о̊ v́ ėl̈ .Е̂n̂ü m а̃
“……?”
“Oh, don’t misunderstand. I don’t mean anything bad. I’m just curious— what kind of human can stay so cold-headed even in front of a legendary item?”

Lee Shin, who initially wavered at the legendary item, immediately regained composure. His coolness was chilling.
And what he said next was brilliant:
— “Let’s add a bit more here.”
At this, MK was disappointed. He meant to show greed even with a legendary item? But just as he was about to get up, Lee Shin continued:
Еn̄ u ṁa. і̆d
— “And the song, let’s add that too. A beat for our guild. Lately I’ve been listening to a lot of your songs, MK. Of course, this is a request as a fan of yours, not as CEO Lee Shin.”
A cute request.
Most CEOs would have lost their heads over a legendary weapon, but he had the composure to make such a request.
It was witty.

It was swag.
Yoon Choa answered with a poker face:

“Because he’s the CEO.”
From his expression, subtle pride radiated.
A person capable of making even those around him feel proud…
MK looked back along the path he came.
In the distance, he saw the main building of Lee Shin’s guild.
“Jealous.”

In MK’s mind, his evaluation of Lee Shin rose several notches.
But why were the lights flickering?

“Yoohoo!!”

“DJ Dong-ha! Faster! More dazzling!!”
Chae Dong-ha, guarding the door, moved his hands faster.
Lee Shin bent his waist in the light as if there were no tomorrow.
“Legend, Dre, Revolver! Yee-haw!”
