Gongon disappeared, and the world around him shattered. Junhyuk clenched his hands into fists. Kaljaque was gone, and Gongon had come because of it. They had been able to win easily.

He had been victorious in all of his battle, but he wasn't sure when he last enjoyed a victory like that. He was smiling hard as his surroundings turned white.

In front of him, there was square box, which he thought contained the reward for his victory.

[Here is the reward victory in the Swamp of Despair. Inspect it.]

Junhyuk thought of the reward's description and touched the box. It opened, and three gems floated out.

[The reward for your victory, the highest quality runestones. You may take each colored runestone and wish for the runestone you want of that color.]

He touched the red runestone, and various types of red runestones came up as options. He didn't hesitate and chose an attack runestone. It was of the highest quality and increased attack by sixty. He had gained strength incomparable to before and was feeling deeply satisfied.

He touched the yellow runestone and invested in defense. His defense would increase by sixty as well. Then, he touched the blue runestone and selected accuracy.

[The highest quality runestones will be delivered to you, and they will be socketed to an item automatically.]

Junhyuk was surprised by that and raised his arm. Every runestone had been socketed to his item. He didn't need Bebe.

"I like it."

He tapped his arm and smiled. His attack and defense had both increased.

[The next champions' battlefield will take place two weeks from now. We will see you there.]

After the voice spoke, the world shone blindingly again. Junhyuk closed his eyes and waited for the light to stop pounding at his cornea. Then, he opened his eyes. Time really hadn't pa.s.sed.

He got up and picked up his burner phone. Soon, he heard Sarang's bright voice, "Big brother! Did you win?"

"I'll tell you about it when we meet, but the result was victory."

"What was the reward?"

"A set of three of the highest quality runestones."

"That's huge!"

Junhyuk laughed and replied, "If you activate another power, you can come to the champions' battlefield."

"Then, I won't be able to go with you to the Dimensional Battlefield. I won't."

"Don't talk like that. You must become stronger. And become a champion and a hero."

"It was just talk. Don't get too riled up."

"I have to go out. I'll call you."

"Don't forget it!"

He got up, put on his mask and teleported. After he left things to seem like the house was still occupied, he left to meet Sungtae.

He got to the motel where Sungtae was staying, knocked on the door and waited.

"Who is it?"

"Open up."

He spoke simply but coldly, and Sungtae opened the door. When he saw Junhyuk's face, he stepped back slowly. Junhyuk followed him inside and took a seat. After he sat on the bed, he pulled out a mask and handed it to Sungtae.

"Put it on."

Sungtae picked it up, astonished.

"Is it some kind of spy thing?"

Sungtae pulled it with his hands, and the mask extended, so he placed it on his face.

"It feels like skin, and I can breath easily."

It was not an average mask. It cost 1,800G, which meant that it cost 1,800 ordinary souls.

"If I put on some gla.s.ses, it'll be perfect!"

He looked like a meathead. Sungtae looked at himself in the mirror and fixed his posture a few times. He hunched his shoulders and bent over. His appearance had surely changed.

"This thing really works!"

"I told you not to worry."

Sungtae smiled and looked at him.

"Did you buy the building yet?"

"Yes."

"We put it in our company's name."

Junhyuk didn't understand and looked at him, and Sungtae handed him a few doc.u.ments. He looked it over and frowned.

"KST Company?"

"You don't like it?"

"They are your initials, Kwak, Sungtae?"

Sungtae scratched his head.

"We can always change it."

Junhyuk laughed and asked, "The name isn't important. What kind of company are you thinking of?"

"It's a sh.e.l.l company. It exists only on paper."

"To whom does it belong?"

Sungtae gave him a piece of paper.

"Max?"

"Yes. That's the sh.e.l.l company's most powerful shareholder's name. There is a lot of information on him, but there is no picture of him."

"Do you want to use my picture?"

"Correct! If we do that, it'll be perfect."

Junhyuk took a moment to think. He had wanted to buy the building under his name, but if he did that he would attract attention from others. They needed a supercomputer in the building, and it would be better to buy it under a foreign name.

He didn't have supercomputer like Zaira and he had already spent half of his capital. It was not the time to reveal himself yet.

Junhyuk looked at Sungtae. The man was telling him which road to take, so Junhyuk placed a chair in front of him and sat.

"We have to talk."

"About what?"

Sungtae's expression changed completely, and Junhyuk continued calmly, "I am your employer."

"I'll be loyal to you."

"Sure. Some things you did have crossed some lines."

Sungtae became anxious as Junhyuk spoke. Junhyuk had killed people without any remorse. He didn't want to cross him.

"Sorry if I crossed the line!"

Junhyuk stared at him without speaking, and Sungtae realized how heavy the silence was. He bowed deeply, and Junhyuk got up.

"If you want to do something, report to me first. Understand?"

"I understand."

"I like the effort you are putting into things. You may use my picture," Junhyuk said.

"Then, I will take a picture of you now." Sungtae took the picture with cell phone and bowed again, saying, "Next time, I will report to you first."

Junhyuk remained silent until he thought of something, "Biggest shareholder… Do you mean that there are other shareholders?"

Sungtae started sweating heavily, and Junhyuk smiled cooly at him.

"There is one other shareholder. He has 5 percent of the shares while Max has 95 percent." Sungtae smiled awkwardly and added, "It's in there."

Junhyuk looked into doc.u.ment and back at Sungtae.

"So, you took stock options on your own?"

"It would be better to have a public company…"

Junhyuk smiled bitterly. He had taken the shares, and Junhyuk had to watch him more carefully.

"Fine. You will promote me on the internet, but can you create legal evidence on me?"

"Of course! The person who will sell me the supercomputer will work as a broker. I will ask him for doc.u.ments for you," he said.

"How much?"

"Each identification will costs $10,000."

"Including yours, so do we need two?"

"You are quick."

"Tell him to make two then."

"Sure."

Junhyuk thought for a moment and said, "We will buy the building and get the supercomputer and the IDs first. Tell him to meet you early tomorrow morning."

Sungtae nodded, and Junhyuk left. He felt better having Sungtae do all of the work. On his way home, he looked up into the starry sky. He was friends with Jeffrey, and Sarang was on his side, but she lacked power. He was working with Sungtae to increase his power in South Korea, but he was still very weak by society's standards.

"Next time, I will bring back something that will make me a lot of money."

While looking at the stars, he thought of Gongon.

"Gongon?"

"Whew! I increased my communication crystal's ability."

"What are you talking about?"

"Can you see my face?"

Surprised, Junhyuk said, "I can see you! Can you see me?"

"No. You haven't increased your crystal's ability. I can just hear you."

Junhyuk laughed. Gongon was sucking on a piece of candy.

"You were supposed to ask some questions when you returned, no?"

"s.h.i.+t! My own father sold me out."

"To the Dimensional Battlefield?"

"Right. And I asked about Bebe and Hatma, and he told me to be careful. They might come after me in my dimension."

Bebe and Hatma were scary. Junhyuk knew that and nodded.

"Next time, be more careful."

"Right! I will be. He is only a sorcerer… Why is he so scary?"

Gongon finished the piece of candy and started sucking on another one.

"I am on my way home. Call me later," Junhyuk said.

"OK, right! Next time, I'll increase your crystal's ability as well."

"Thanks!"

After the conversation, Junhyuk felt good that he had befriended Gongon. The hatchling had given him a Spatial Bag, and he might even give him more stuff.

"I'm worried about what will happen when he goes to the Dimensional Battlefield."

Gongon was very proud. On the champions' battlefield, everyone was the same, but heroes were different. Nothing good would come of annoying them.

"Next time, I'll teach him about it."

Gongon listened to him, so he would kindly explain things.

On Sat.u.r.day, before noon, Junhyuk met with Sungtae, and they went to the Gangnam district. Sungtae was worried about going to a crowded place, but they went to a small coffee shop.

They were meeting someone, and that person probably thought it would be better to meet in a crowded place. Junhyuk sat down, and Sungtae ordered a coffee and took a sit. He was sipping on his coffee, when a foreigner came over and sat down next to them.

He was slightly bald and well combed. The man touched his chin and said, "That is a really nice transformation."

He attempted to grab Junhyuk's coffee, but the man saw his eyes and took Sungtae's coffee instead, sipping on it. Sungtae smiled at the man.

"Bro, long time no see!"

"Right! We met when you dropped out of school."

Sungtae smiled.

"You heard about what we need?"

"I heard, but do you know how much it will cost?"

"I know. But safety is more important."

The man wiped his sweat with a handkerchief.

"What do you see me as?"

Junhyuk, who had only been listening until then, asked, "Your name?"

When he spoke, the noisy coffee shop became very quiet. He directed the question to the man, and the man wiped his face.

"I'm Brian."

He pulled out a package and gave it to Brian.

"Things," he said.

Brian pulled out a couple of pa.s.sports and IDs from his bag, and Junhyuk took his and gave the rest to Sungtae. Then, he approached Brian slowly.

Brian gulped.

"The money is ready. When are you going to be ready?"

"It'll take about two weeks."

Junhyuk's lips twitched.

"I'll give you five days."
