The World Turned Into A Game After I Woke Up
/ The World Turned into a Game After I Woke up Chapter 161
Translator: HunterW Editor: RED Do you think its true that the Yung Gong Guild is doing all that because theyre being supported by the Nayuta Guild and the Cheng Long Guild? I dont know, but I heard those rumors as well . Im 100% positive . Think about it! Would the Yung Gong Guild even think about pulling that shit if they werent supported by the other two guilds? Well, youre not wrong . Then does that mean the three guilds have formed an alliance against the Sunbin Guild? Yeah, right . I doubt theyre stupid enough to actually try that . Exactly . They may be three powerful guilds, but theyll end up with considerable losses if they try to outright challenge the Sunbin Guild to a full-scale war . It wont be a short conflict, either . Thats why people are saying that there isnt anyone directly related to the foreign guilds working with the Yung Gong Guild; theyre all mercenaries paid for by the foreign guilds . But its not like no one knows its not them by this point . Theyre just poking around to see what sort of reaction the Sunbin Guild will take . I dont really like the Sunbin Guild all that much, but if they get pushed back by Japan and China… Dont worry . Wars between large guilds dont break out that easily, especially when they have so much at stake . I got the gist of what was going on as I overheard the conversations around me, but something was off . -The Yung Gong Guild is getting support from both Nayuta and Cheng Long?- It wasnt weird to hear about the Nayuta Guild now . It was around this time in the past when the Yung Gong Guild had allied itself with Nayuta . What I didnt get was the Cheng Long Guild . That guild and Nayuta werent exactly on good terms . Hell, Sunbin, Cheng Long, and Nayuta really didnt like each other very much . -Well, thats not important to me right now . - I used both Blinks to get on top of the rooftops and quickly headed for the Gnosis Guilds headquarters . --- Outside the Gnosis Guilds headquarters in Yeouido… Alpha and the same four people were waiting for me outside their building . I calmly walked towards them . I acted as if the request I gave them wasnt that important to me . I regretted acting so emotionally when I put in the request as we talked about Lee Kangchan . I was sure they noticed it and they must have looked into what my relationship with Lee Kangchan was, or how I knew about him . They wouldnt find anything, of course . Either way, I made sure to put on my best poker face . They didnt need to know why I was after him . Hello, Mr . Lee . Its been a while . I shook Alphas outstretched hand . I apologize it took us a while to complete your request . We should have had it ready sooner . It seems were still lacking . Thats alright . I dont mind as long as the intel is good . Thank you for understanding . Now then, shall we head inside and talk over a cup of tea? Alpha was obviously fishing to see how badly I wanted the intel . He was acting as if he was trying to lure a boar into a trap . Sure, I replied calmly, while looking right in Alphas eyes . I followed Alpha and his comrades inside to their parlor . There, Alpha handed me a cup of coffee and a not-too-thick folder . This is everything we gathered on Lee Kangchan . Thank you . I picked up my coffee first and took a sip . Also… One of the women spoke up . I think her name was Lim Gina . What is it? That report includes something else we uncovered during our investigation . All I can say is that its 100% true and should it turn out that it is false, the Gnosis Guild will shut its doors . . I didnt understand what she was saying . Whatever they did, they could end up overstepping their boundaries and end up digging their own graves . You can think of it as part of our goodwill . Okay, Ill leave it at that for now . Thank you . I didnt know what this additional information was about, but it wasnt necessarily a bad thing . If I didnt need it, I could always throw it away later . Then how much do I owe you? It was tough since we only had a name to start with . Itll cost you…1 golden ring . -What?- That couldnt be right . I stared at Alpha, but it didnt seem like he was joking around . It may have been difficult, but we did take much longer than promised . Think of it as a small gift . But I should still pay you properly for services provided . I was still rich enough . I had spent most of my money on leveling up the Damage Link Totem, but I still had about 300,000,000 golden rings left . 1 golden ring really is enough . We would just like to keep a good relationship with you, Mr . Lee . If we take any more, then all of our plans will fall through, Alpha replied nonchalantly . I understand, I said, nodding . I could tell they had some ulterior motives, but should they come at me with some weird favor, I could always turn them down . I had the authority to . I bid the Gnosis Guild members farewell and left the building . --- After Lee Jiwon left the Han Dong building… What do you think will happen now? Im not sure . This is his real mother were talking about . She didnt exist in his entire life until now . Itll obviously be one of two things: hell either disavow her, or accept her . The die is cast; all we can do is wait and watch . No matter how deep they dug, they couldnt find out what connected Lee Jiwon and Lee Kangchan . The two had never crossed paths before, so the problem lay with Lee Jiwon . That was why they dug deeper into his life . There had to be something if they took Lee Jiwons reactions into account . However, all they could find was his biological mother, even though the two were practically strangers . No, they really were strangers! Anyway, where is Lee Kangchan now? Over at the Yung Gong Guild . Hes been very busy kissing up to the Yung Gong Guild after offering more than half of his familys power, X said . Tsk tsk tsk . Fool . Alpha clicked his tongue . How likely will it be for Lee Jiwon to put a stop to the Yung Gong Guilds bullshit? That I dont know . All Lee Jiwon cares about right now is Lee Kangchan . That will only change if the Sunbin Guild brings him into it first . How Lee Jiwon feels towards the Yung Gong Guild is important, too . Then again, if we take Lee Jiwons tendencies into account, I doubt he likes them very much . Tendencies, my ass . You all already know . Duck Duck . Of course we know . How could we forget? Either way, if Lee Jiwon gets involved… things are going to get interesting . Damn right . Lets keep watching him for now . No, dont . Its too risky . Clairvoyance wont work, either, since he still has Stop Watching Me, Jay reminded him . I know . Im saying we watch from a distance and through the people around him . Fine, I get it . --- Kaltz Hotel… I booked a room at the hotel I stayed at every time I was in Seoul to quietly pore over the report . This first page had a picture of the same Lee Kangchan I knew . Found you . I carefully read through the report while asking the same question as ever to myself: Why did he do that to me? I always wondered if there was some specific reason he had singled me out . Did I hurt someone of his family, or did a distant relative of mine wrong him? I pored over every single word, but I found nothing that could explain his intentions . Was I just unlucky and got bit by a rabid hound? There were a lot of crazy people in the old world and there seemed to be even more in the new world . If thats the case, then corporal punishment is the only answer for him . As I flipped to the next page, I saw a picture of a woman, and it also indicated her age . -Is this it?- I turned the page, thinking she was Lee Kangchans mother or something . I doubted I would ever resort to targeting his family just for the sake of revenge . However, my hand started to shake as I read through the information on the next page . This…this cant be right . It didnt make sense . I was an orphan for as long as I could remember . The thought that the Gnosis Guild was playing a prank on me crossed my mind, but they werent the type of people to do that . That was just stupid . Were they trying to make me their enemy? Theyd be crazy to do that . I turned the page, still trembling . The request was for Lee Kangchan, but this report was more detailed than his . I closed the folder and tossed on the table in front of me . Ha… I let out a heavy sigh . I wasnt ready to believe everything in the report, nor was I going to head straight for Lee Kangchan after learning more about him . If I was going to properly get revenge, I had to bide my time and wait for the right moment . However, a voice in the back of my head told me that everything I had read was true . The report was that detailed . They had obviously double-checked and triple-checked their sources before putting it together . I stood straight up . I could ignore it . My real mom? What did that matter now, of all times? If she was living a decent life, I could ignore her…but I couldnt . She wasnt living a decent life . She was beginning to bother me more than Lee Kangchan . Ill go . Ill go and see for myself . I couldnt leave this unanswered now . I had to find the truth out for myself . I also couldnt leave her in the service of his family . My pride wouldnt allow that . I left the hotel and headed straight for Chuncheong Province, where Lee Kangchans family and the woman who was supposed to be my mother were living . --- Meanwhile, at the Sunbin Guilds headquarters… Hmm… Song Daechul was sitting in at the table in the conference room, deep in thought . How many men did Cheng Long and Nayuta send over? he asked his officers . Weve confirmed at least 10,000 from each guild . How tricky . Those three guilds probably still didnt have enough soldiers to face against the Sunbin Guild properly . We believe that Cheng Long and Nayuta sent over mercenaries to use the Yung Gong Guild to get a rise out of us . Tsk . How annoying . There were too many to ignore, but the Sunbin Guild couldnt afford to fully retaliate against 20,000+ soldiers . It didnt matter how others played it off; the Sunbin Guild was still facing an alliance of three powerful guilds . So, what is that they want? Theyre demanding we yield the mid-grade dungeon in Jeju Island and control over Gangnam, Seoul . Hah…crazy bastard . Song Daechul could have been willing to give up the dungeon in Jeju Island, but he could not hand over Seoul, especially since Store 72 was there . Seoul was the Sunbin Guilds home . And if we say no? Then theyll continue their harassment . Moronic bastards . They know theyre being used; have they no pride? What did the Intelligence Division come up with? . The officers fell silent for a moment . Song Daechul asked the question they had been dreading . Master, there are many eyes watching the Sunbin Guild . We must take caution… Theres a limit to how careful we have to be, Song Daechul cut his officer off . But theres so much at stake for us to launch a full-scale war . And if Cheng Long and Nayuta join in…of course, Im not saying we have any reason to be afraid . Tsk . Song Daechul clicked his tongue at Song Myungsoos sensible response . Song Myungsoo wasnt wrong, but there were times when they had to come out strong . Should they continue to appear weak, the enemy could easily take advantage of them . Three days . You all have three days to come up with a solution . Do it, as officers of the Sunbin Guild! Song Haechang was at the meeting, as well . He had come back from his intense training, as the fate of his guild now rest on the balance . It was then Song Haechang remembered Duck Duck . He remembered how the Yung Gong Guild had relentlessly searched for this mysterious person . Most people knew by now who that person was, and the Yung Gong Guild should know as well; Duck Duck could only be none other than Lee Jiwon . -Wait…maybe they really dont know!-
