Chapter 103: Earth Hwanmong Defense Army’s 7th Commander (2)

Rainkar’s eyes shone.

"Therefore, given the chance and no matter how painful the process, you must concentrate and gain enlightenment. That enlightenment will give you greater strength than hunting monsters over time will.”

“I will keep that in mind.”

Rainkar revealed the secret about how he had become the strongest man in Earth Hwanmong.

However, the other commanders didn’t show any signs of surprise.

"After this meeting, it will be time for you to leave Hwanmong. The next time you enter Hwanmong, go to the Guardian Hall without any delay.”

“Yes.”

Kang-jun nodded.

Then Binhaim said,

"The 7th Army Commander will sit down. The meeting will start.”

"I’ll do that."

Driana returned to the Yugang building while Kang-jun settled down on the 7th throne.

At that moment, the thrones moved into a circle and a round table appeared in the middle.

The 11 senior commanders faced each other at the round table.

Binhaim looked around and said,

“It is very reassuring to have the vacant position of 7th Army Commander filled. Although we have the advantage, the Second Demon King is likely to attack more vigorously in the future, so everyone has to be prepared.”

Madun nodded.

"This is something that has occurred in other Hwanmongs. The defending army was prevalent when the pirata suddenly changed the direction of attack towards making the sovereigns fight each other. The war between sovereigns weakened the defenders and the pirata eventually obtained the Hwanmong.”

He continued speaking,

"Therefore, It is a good idea to encourage the lower commanders to dispel such thoughts.”

“I also think so.”

"It is a good idea.”

The other commanders agreed.

Kang-jun also nodded.

He didn’t know what was specifically used to attack the hearts of the sovereigns but it made sense to be careful in Hwanmong.

The brief meeting ended.

A new message appeared in front of Kang-jun.

[You have become one of the senior army commanders that represents the Earth Hwanmong Defense Army.]

[Charisma has increased by one.]

[Good Luck has increased by one.]

Thanks to that, his charisma and good luck stats rose by one.

’Yes, good luck!’

Kang-jun felt a lot of pleasure from seeing his charisma and good luck increase.

Lv.65 (Exp 00.00%)

[War] Advanced

Health: 6470/6470

Black Magic Energy: 6020/6020

Strength: 69 (+5)

Agility: 70 (+5)

Intelligence: 66

Good Luck: 11

Charisma: 23 (+4)

The moment he checked the status window, the surrounding space started to distort.

[The door to Hwanmong is closed.]

[Your time in the world of Hwanmong is over.]

The Skia rang as soon as he woke up.

[￦30,331,900,000 has been deposited.]

It was a text message stating that the Black Dragon Law Firm had deposited 30,331,900,000 won.

The cash he swapped for achievement points was immediately deposited.

‘I made another 30 billion won during the night.’

Kang-jun smiled pleasantly at Hayun and she smiled back.

"You seem very happy today.”

"I became a senior commander. To be precise, I am the 7th Commander of Earth Hwanmong’s Defense Army.”

"That is fantastic. Congratulations.”

“Thank you. Also, in the meantime, stop buying buildings. I have to collect money to buy the Delta building.”

"The Delta building?”

Hayun’s eyes widened. She also knew about the Delta building.

Kang-jun nodded.

“The building is worth approximately one trillion won. It is the place that Heksia occupied and I have a reason why I must own it. It is for the sake of building the Lucky Tower on the rooftop.”

“I see.”

The Lucky Tower had the tough condition of Kang-jun needing to buy the Delta building.

Heksia had occupied the Delta building in Hwanmong but that had nothing to do with owning it in reality.

The current owner of the Delta building was a foreign company.

As a result, Kang-jun needed to negotiate with the company to buy the Delta building and make it his territory.

Hayun told him.

"If the building is one trillion won, then half of it can be covered by a bank loan.”

"I guess so.”

Including the money from today, he currently had around 170 billion won.

Of course, he could make more money if he disposed of his buildings. However, he couldn’t do that because they were used as important bases in Hwanmong.

So, he had to make around 330 billion won more.

If he kept on trading achievement points and moonstones in Hwanmong, he would be able to collect money faster than he thought.

Kang-jun told Hayun,

"From now on, you will work with Secretary Kim Hye-na to prepare for the takeover of Delta building. Ask Lawyer Han Yeon-soo for advice.”

“Yes, leave it to me. If possible, I will negotiate for a good price.”

“Yes.”

Kang-jun nodded but he felt strange for some reason.

It was because he was thinking about his assets in the billions.

However, that was nothing compared to Hwanmong.

Being the owner of the Delta building was nothing compared to being the 7th Army Commander of the Earth Hwanmong Defense Army.

He was a powerful presence that could command the lower army commanders and stand shoulder to shoulder with senior commanders consisting of demon and dragons.

He was one of the top 11 commanders in Earth Hwanmong, Lucan!

It had been a right given to Kang-jun.

After a while, Kang-jun finished breakfast and headed to the cafe on the 4th floor of the Dafeng building.

Just like a library, the walls contained shelves filled with books of various fields, including management.

"It is full of people in the morning.”

Kang-jun hadn’t used his management skills, so he was surprised that business was so good.

Then Colt smiled and said,

"According to my research, most of them are working or living in Lord’s occupied territories.”

“Really?”

"Yes, there are also many from the Delta building who come here to drink coffee.”

The Delta building was quite a distance from the Dafeng building. It was more than five minutes by car and a long walk on foot.

There were book cafes and coffee stores everywhere, so why did they come here?

He hadn’t done any advertising after opening the cafe.

‘Does occupying a building have this effect?’

Then occupying more areas would be helpful for business. It would be a jackpot if he took over a large apartment complex.

Of course, he didn’t have to do such troublesome things now that he was making enough money.

It was all thanks to the red moon.

Kang-jun was able to earn a large amount of money in a short time thanks to it.

Otherwise, Kang-jun would have to make the most of his management skills to earn money.

Seven in the evening.

The Jade Incense Restaurant, Cheongdam-dong.

Hardis and the other alliance members gathered.

All 23 of them.

Compared to the beginning, their numbers had grown by 12 people.

Yoo Seung-hwan said with a hard expression,

"I’ve gathered you here today because there are many people who are skeptical about the purpose of our alliance. There are those who want to quit because they no longer want to be hostile toward Lucan.”

"I’ll withdraw. Lucan is an army commander. Fighting against him is crazy.”

"I don’t intend to fight the number one sovereign in Earth Hwanmong. Hardis, the hostile alliance is yours alone.”

The sovereigns started talking as soon as Yoo Seung-hwan brought it up. There was no one willing to fight Lucan.

Only Kim Kun-woo, otherwise known as Zenith, had something else to say.

"He is strong but that is just in Hwanmong. If we join forces in reality then...”

However, this comment wasn’t very helpful in this situation.

"Shut up. Zenith! You must have lost your wits after being defeated by him.”

"Kim Kun-woo can do as you like. We will withdraw from this alliance.”

Thus, the Hardis’ alliance was broken.

It was now 7:30.

The people had left without eating and only Yoo Seung-hwan and Kim Kun-woo remained at the table.

Kim Kun-woo struck his chest like it was frustrating.

"Shit! Cowards!”

“What can we do? This is because we are weak.”

Yoo Seung-hwan said with a sickly expression. Frankly, they knew that the alliance against Lucan was meaningless, so the atmosphere was subdued.

They started drinking because they had nothing else to do.

After two cups...

They felt so bad that they drank endlessly.

So, after a while, Kim Kun-woo complained with a red face.

"I really don’t like that Lucan. Isn’t there a way to get rid of him?”

"I know what you mean. I will die before I have to bow to that guy who used to be below me.”

“Kuhuhu! It is the same with me.”

"If we don’t give up, an opportunity will come. Today, let’s just drink alcohol.”

“Okay.”

In the end, Yoo Seung-hwan and Kim Kun-woo drank at the Jade Incense restaurant till late into the night.

They went to a room salon and Yoo Seung-hwan woke up in a hotel room.

The woman in his bed was his partner from the room salon.

However, that wasn’t the reason why Yoo Seung-hwan was surprised.

It was because he had a very special dream.

Of course, it was a normal dream not Hwanmong.

“Hardis! Do you want to beat Lucan? I can give you that type of power.”

A mysterious voice resonated in the vast space.

A stylish young man appeared in front of him.

Yoo Seung-hwan stared at the young man riding a bizarre bird with red feathers.

The atmosphere around him was so formidable that Yoo Seung-hwan couldn’t look at him properly.

"Who are you?”

"Your enemy, Colladikus the Second Demon King. I am him.”

"Heok!"

"Don’t be surprised. I don’t want to hurt you.”

"Why did you come to me?"

"I can give you great power. If you follow me, you will be able to escape the terrible binds of the sovereigns.”

"Escape the binds of the sovereigns. What are you saying?”

"It means you will no longer be tied by the fate of the sovereigns. In other words, you won’t go to hell even if you lose in battle.”

"T-that!”

"How about it? Won’t you follow me? Then you will rule Earth with me in the future. Of course, Lucan will turn into a cold body at your feet.”

“I will do it. Just give me the strength.”

Hardis unknowingly exclaimed.

It felt like fate to follow the Second Demon King.

A wicked smile appeared on Colladikus’ face but Hardis didn’t notice.

Then he woke up.

‘What was that dream?’

Yoo Seung-hwan sat here with a confused expression before going to sleep again due to his hangover.

Since then, his routine passed as normal, so he forgot his dream.

Two days later at 10 o’clock at night.

The time came to enter Hwanmong.

Kang-jun fell asleep while listening to Hayun’s lullaby.

[The door to Hwanmong is open.]

Kang-jun appeared at the base of the Yugang building where Keirun, Germuz, Rodiam, Kajel, Melinad, Heksia and Driana were waiting.

“Lord! You have become a senior commander.”

"Congratulations on becoming the 7th Commander.”

“Lord! Congratulations, ong.”

“Haha! Thank you. I am glad that you have also become stronger.”

Kang-jun shook their hands or stroked their heads, then headed to the headquarters of the Defense Army.

Today, he had to go there as quickly as possible.

Binhaim was pleased to see Kang-jun.

"Welcome, 7th Commander. Today, you should enter the Guardian Hall immediately.

“Yes.”

With Binhaim, Kang-jun used the magic circle to move to the Guardian Hall.

He appeared at the entrance of a huge building surrounded with a golden light.
