Chapter 218
Park Jeong-seok thought.
‘What exactly did I do wrong?’
What great sin had he committed to deserve this?
‘…Why is such misfortune coming to me?’
Park Jeong-seok looked at his comrades rolling on the floor—no, the people who were his comrades—and recalled the situation from moments ago.

A few hours earlier.
That day as well, the Haemu Guild members were leaving the gate after finishing training.
“Good work, everyone.”
“Great job today, all of you.”
Е̌ n_û m̊ӑ
“If we keep this up, we can go for four wins in a row~!”
At that time, the atmosphere had been undeniably positive.
It had to be—Haemu Guild had won every match in the latter half of the season.
Second in overall traffic rankings, the standout guild of the latter half according to experts.

Of course, they hadn’t defeated the Mir Guild, but that was because of Lee Shin, so excluding that, they were effectively number one.
And at the center of all these victories was this man.

“Jeong-seok, great work again today. You’re improving day by day.”
“…Thank you.”
Second in activity for the latter half.
Second in assists for the latter half.
Park Jeong-seok had risen as the super ace of the support position.
As the key figure in their winning streak, the world around Park Jeong-seok changed.

[Park Jeong-seok, finally blossoming as the post-Hwarang talent!]
[A Lee Shin-approved Hunter. Never fails to impress.]
[Step aside, Hwarang—now it’s Park Jeong-seok’s era!]
The media’s blatant push was nothing short of overwhelming.
― “I believed in youㅠㅠ!! Haemu’s treasure!”
― “I told you, Park Jeong-seok is going to explode!!”
Èn̆ū m̌ȧ
― “If Lee Shin, looking so envious, praises you, thumbs upㅋ”
Fans’ recognition of Park Jeong-seok skyrocketed.

And that wasn’t all.
“Jeong-seok, how about a drink tonight?”
“Senior, let’s have dinner instead.”
“You don’t have plans with Aki tonight, right?”
Е n̂ u ṁ а
The core members finally recognized Park Jeong-seok as part of the team.
They approached him first, and he even had a nice rapport with Aki.
Additionally, he had personal staff capable of cooking or giving massages, and his accommodations upgraded from a “50-pyeong city-view villa” to a “100-pyeong ocean-view penthouse.”
However,

What unexpectedly lifted Park Jeong-seok’s spirits wasn’t material.
“Here.”
Е̃ ńû m̆ ā .ï d́
“Yes.”
“You should hand over the analysis sheet and clear it away.”
“Yes, sir!”
When Park Jeong-seok threw his armor to the ground, the waiting staff put it in a pocket in the pocket dimension.
Looking closely, he recognized the face—an analysis team member who had recently glared coldly at him and shouted “Again!”
Yes. A petty move.

It was almost revenge, and Park Jeong-seok knew it was a petty, despicable act.
Still.
‘This industry is cold.’
Exactly as Han Jin-cheol had said.
The moment Park Jeong-seok became an irreplaceable resource, his influence rose beyond comparison.
Even a mere front-office staff member could no longer dare speak to him.
Е n̄ úm̌а̇
In other words, if Park Jeong-seok’s mood could be lifted, even an emotional trash bin could be paid a salary.
Han Jin-cheol had assigned this staff member to Park Jeong-seok to make him realize this reality—a trophy of his new status and simultaneously Han Jin-cheol’s subtle question.

― ‘A twinge of guilt and the soul-draining pain. A fistful of pills swallowed every day?’
― ‘Do you dislike it? It feels good, right? Fun, right? Exhilarating, like having the whole world—don’t you want it?’
Just as drug addicts’ dopamine circuits are broken, making them miserable without drugs, Park Jeong-seok had already become addicted to this sense of superiority.
By all accounts, Park Jeong-seok’s day had been quite good.
Wĕ b̂n ӧ v̊ ёĺ Е́n̈ u ṁа
A proper shower, a dinner reservation with Aki at a Japanese restaurant, and a pleasant night would have made it perfect.
If only those words hadn’t been spoken…
“I’ve been feeling something off, and the CEO isn’t here?”
“Oh, really?”
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
“He always comes no matter how busy—what’s going on?”
Since his achievements, Han Jin-cheol has visited the training hall daily with a big smile.
W еb̆n о̂v еl .Еń u ḿа
Always bringing plenty of snacks, he was even called “Snack Officer” by the new recruits this breaking season—but he wasn’t seen that day.
“Hmm, what’s going on…? Should I drop by the guild for a moment?”
“I’ll come.”
“I had something left behind, so I thought I’d check the guild anyway. Let’s go.”
Normally, after training, the Haemu team would disperse to their homes, but that day, it was as if they were drawn to head smoothly to the guild.
When the main hall’s automatic doors opened, they immediately sensed something was wrong.

“…!!”
“W-what is this!”
Blood everywhere.
Finding the owners of the blood wasn’t hard—the floor of the hall was entirely covered.
“Mo-monster.”
“Please… it hurts.”
W.е̂ b.n̄ о̃ v̊ еl̄ .É n_ü m ӓ
“F**k…”
It was a scene so shocking that reality felt paralyzed, and even the team remained speechless for a while.

But the reason Park Jeong-seok was shocked was slightly different.
‘That?!’
The black mana crawling over the bodies of those fallen and writhing—it was like worms, disgusting mana. The parasitic power on Park Jeong-seok’s own body had the same form.
At that moment, Park Jeong-seok realized the current situation was somehow connected to him.
E n̊ u m̃ а . ї d̆
And instinctively, he sought the culprit responsible.
“Are you guys the Haemu team?”
At the central staircase of the main hall, an old man, Yu Cheol-ong, sitting casually, wiping his blood-stained sickle, smiling pleasantly.
“You must have just finished training. Good work.”

“And you are? Who are you to do this in our guild?”
“Hmm, it’s better for you if I don’t explain.”

“…Are you joking??”
“No, I’m serious—for your own sake.”
Yoo Cheol-ong spoke.
He lived in the shadows, behind the scenes of the world.
Hearing his name brings nothing good, and meeting him often leads to bad situations—like today.
“…This situation is no different. Young people with bright futures, playing under the sun of the league—getting involved benefits you nothing.

If you cannot understand the current situation and are confused, I suggest you turn around and leave immediately. Furthermore……”
Even if you’ve noticed this matter and seem to be involved, I recommend just turning around and leaving.
As Yoo Cheol-ong said this, his gaze slowly shifted toward Park Jeong-seok.
The moment that gaze met him, he blinked in shock as if his inner thoughts had been revealed.
He squeezed his eyes shut and turned his head—and then.
Cheng――!!
Е n̊ ù m̂а̊
A collision sound?!
Hurriedly turning his head, he saw Aki springing out from the shadows, colliding with Yoo Cheol-ong.

“Ah… is the young lady this way?”
“Are you just going to watch!!”
At Aki’s urgent shout sound, everyone hesitated briefly before several of them dashed out like arrows. Among them were the squad leader and some members of Team 1.
Park Jeong-seok, unsure what to do in the sudden chaos, froze.
W е́b n̆ о̀v̆ еl̂ Еnu ṁа
Then Aki’s voice reached him.
“Park Jeong-seok! Why aren’t you moving!!”
It was an ordinary command, but for some reason, it felt like a warning: if this matter is discovered, you won’t remain safe either.
In that moment, Park Jeong-seok realized the line of fate in front of him.

If he stopped here without crossing it, his car, his home, the superiority he felt from drugs—everything would surely collapse like a sandcastle.
But if he crossed that line and merged into the gap, there was a chance to maintain glory—but he would definitely cease to be human.
Eñ üm а
What is your choice?
At the crossroads of fate, Park Jeong-seok’s choice was.
‘I can’t.’
A step backward.
Not for some grand reason like conscience—he simply avoided the choice that risked his life.
Then, a voice came from the other side.

“Good choice.”
“!!”
Life is so ironic.
Who would have known that the backward step taken in escape would be the best choice for Park Jeong-seok’s twisted life?
Papapapapapap!!
People sprang up from all directions, and something was fired.

The attacking hunters fell instantly.
Each of them had something embedded in their bodies: small bullet-shaped syringes.

The beast-like humanoids raised their fur and struck, restraining the hunters, then a man descended the stairs to the second floor.
A solitary figure shining nobly even in the filthy, stinking center of the battlefield.
“Alright, everyone, good work. Let’s start cleaning up.”
Lee Shin declared the end of the situation.

The sound of seal orbs being placed in the hands of those crawling on the ground brought Park Jeong-seok back to reality.

The squad leader, Aki, and all the attackers had their magic sealed, and soon it was his turn.
The seal orb lay before him. Park Jeong-seok faced the person handing it to him.

“Do it yourself.”
Lee Shin sighed at Park Jeong-seok staring at the orb, then sat down beside him and put a cigarette in his mouth.
Without a word, Park Jeong-seok crouched next to him and lit it.
“….”
“….”
There was no conversation.

Lee Shin did not scold, and Park Jeong-seok did not make excuses.
They simply smoked.
The smoke drifting into the air—was it Park Jeong-seok’s regret, or the fate that could flow anywhere?
It scattered fleetingly.
“I’m going.”
“….”
Е̂ n um̀а̃..і̇.d
Park Jeong-seok, who had been silent, spoke with effort.
“…Thank you.”

Lee Shin paused for a moment.
“Be honest when investigated, and never get involved in that side again.”
Leaving his final advice, he returned to the field.
‘I didn’t hope it would come to this.’
Ẁ_е b n̆_ôv̂ е̃ ľ Е̄ n u m̈а_
Regret is always too late, like trying to catch scattered smoke.
Park Jeong-seok could only learn this after paying with his career.
Lee Shin, stepping out the door, finally spoke the words he had been holding back.
“…You damn fool.”

If he had just taken what he deserved, he could have lived without envy, yet with ambition beyond measure, he wasted his career.
Lee Shin, the embodiment of self-objectivity, had always been unable to understand such emotions. So he brushed it off immediately.

He was too busy taking care of his people to worry about incomprehensible humans. That was not his style.
Returning to the field, Yoo Cheol-ong was hugging an elderly police officer.
In fact, this situation was extremely delicate.
Though slightly outside downtown Busan, a large-scale riot had broken out in a relatively populated area.
It resembled a battlefield; there were no fatalities, but the injured filled emergency rooms to the brim.
Yet no police were in sight.

The guardians of the public—why were they absent? Incompetence? Or because this was the domain of awakened beings like in a martial arts tale?
Not at all.
It was all because of this person here.
“Oh my, the real hyung is here? How long has it been! The person who never left the chairman’s side!”
“Ha ha, we saw each other at the grandson’s wedding.”
“You just handed over the gift and left? But what’s with the car keys in the envelope? Trying to make me die of embarrassment?”
Ẅе̄.b̂ n о̌v̆ el̃ Е n̂um̆а̇
“You bastard.”
There were three taegeuk mugunghwa emblems on the elderly officer’s hat.

He held the rank of the Busan Police Chief, above all police in the city.
This rank is feared not only for immeasurable wealth but also for the people planted throughout society especially in Busan, the hometown of Yoo Cheol-ong.
There was no place in Busan where Yoo Cheol-ong’s words didn’t carry.
“Hyung, tell me now. I’d like to let it go, but you know this isn’t a situation that can be ignored, right?”
É ńům̀ а̀ .і̆d
“Hmm, sorry. It got too big.”
“Forget the sorry, just give me an excuse. You asked me to watch, but I need to address those waiting over there.”
“Right, you need face too.”
“Exactly.”

As the Police Chief said, the situation had escalated.
There were multiple witnesses and dozens of reports.
W eb̈n оv е̌ l Еnum̄ a
Even if other evidence is lacking, if the hostages speak, it could spiral out of control.
Now was the time. Lee Shin had to step in.
“Nice to meet you. I am Lee Shin, representative of Mir Guild.”
“Oh? You’re a distinguished guest.”
“You’ve come, sir.”
“You can speak with me. I asked the chairman to intervene.”

This matter required extreme caution.
Usually, the police handle underground matters, even villains.
The police have awakened and forces as strong as hunters. Capturing minor villains is not a problem.
But this case involved a world-class villain organization, closely tied to the guild.
“One wrong move, and the Korean League could be shaken. As a guild representative, I cannot ignore such worst-case scenarios.”
This was why Lee Shin had single-handedly handled it, twisting his body and protecting the guild’s reputation.

A sloppy approach could have led to disaster.
“So the people to handle this will arrive soon.”

“Who are they?”
“Wait a moment. They said on the phone they’d be here soon…Ah, here they come.”
Lee Shin pointed to the sky.
Several helicopters swiftly approached from the distance.

They crossed the sky above the scene and disappeared again.
Shortly after, a group using fly magic descended, robes fluttering, landing at the scene.
And then, a figure parted the crowd, flipping their robe back.
“Greetings. Guild War Korea Secretariat, League 1 Division Head, Kim Mi-young.”
