Chapter 425: Dangerous Onlookers (2)
Five minutes later.
Since the three main bases located in the center were far away from the outer buildings surrounding them, Chairman Hong only encountered the enemy after they destroyed the West Gate and four outer buildings.
Since he received continuous briefings about the situations from his subordinates, he also realized how strong the Lucid Guild members were. Nonetheless, he could not afford to let the intruders advance into the shelter and destroy it, regardless of how much damage he would suffer from confronting them. Moreover, the fact that they decided to attack the Myongjin Shelter during Juyoung Hong’s absence suggested they had no intention of solving the problem through conversation at all.
Tramp- Tramp-
At that moment, Chairman Hong noticed a man walk out from the group toward him.
Of course, his face was familiar to Chairman Hong because he visited the Myongjin Shelter when monsters constantly appeared in the Myongjin Shelter.
So Chairman Hong was about to step forward too when his deputies shouted at him.
“It’s dangerous.”
“You don’t have to step forward, Dad.”
They were Captain Lim, his son and his daughter.
But Chairman Hong ignored their request.
“Since the enemy leader has come forward, let me deal with him. Step aside!”
After realizing that Chairman Hong was serious, they had no other choice but to step aside.
He confronted Umberto right away.
Umbertro said first, “Hey, are you not scared of us? How dare you face me like this?”
“Well, it’s because I’m confident. I am sure you can’t kill me as easily as you think it will be. Even if I’m killed by your surprise attack, my angry soldiers will surely kill you.”
“Hahaha! Don’t worry because I also have no intention of killing you with a surprise attack. Obviously, our encounter today will be talked about over and over again by those hiding like rats. Besides, this is a gift for that bastard Juyoung Hong. So I can’t afford to kill you mercifully.”
“Stop the bullshit!”
“What did you say? Didn’t you want this kind of bullshit deep down? You must be waiting for the arrival of the Mirae and Tugal guilds who are like parasites leeching off you, right?”
“They will come and join us to clean up the mess.”
“Alright. I will stop talking to you now. To be honest, I’m not a fan of conversation. Hahaha!”
After he said that, Umberto turned around, while Chairman Hong also turned and returned to the Myongjin camp.
The moment both leaders went back to their camp, Umberto shouted.
“As of today, I’ll erase the Myongjin Shelter from this place!”
But nobody responded to his threat.
“…”
“…”
“…”
Hearing that, Chairman Hong shouted sarcastically, “Are you kidding? I will make you pay the price for daring to invade Myongjin recklessly!”
“Waaaaaaaaaah!”
“Myongjin! Myongjin!”
When he finished talking, Chairman Hong’s allies shouted with thundering applause.
Then both sides charged at each other.

It has been 12 days since the event ‘Advance Team’ began.
“Hmm. This means they want to lure me into their district…”
My next target after I got rid of Fashant, the ruler of the 7th Royal District, and the incarnation of the Spirit King, was the ruler of the 10th Royal District.
I didn’t have to attack the strong ruler first when I could attack a weak one.
Sometimes it was better to kill the strongest guy first before eliminating the weaker ones, but generally speaking, it was better to start off with killing the weakest first. While I was on the way to the 10th Royal District, I could confirm the locations of some Major, Regular, and Rookie Districts, but they were all empty. It looked like they escaped as if they knew I was coming.
Of course, I gave them enough time to escape because I roamed around the areas once controlled by Fashant for more than three days to collect loot instead of moving directly to the 10th Royal District after killing Fashant.
Did I regret it? Not at all.
Why? Because there was no guarantee that the ruler of the 10th Royal District would confront me instead of escaping even if I headed there immediately after killing Fashant.
Of course, if the ruler was a man of very strong self-esteem, he might not avoid me, but I didn’t think that would be the case.
Anyway, I decided to settle for the guaranteed profits in the many Major, Regular, and Rookie districts that were left for the taking after I killed their ruler Fashant.
And I reaped lots of benefits there because I had already killed more than 300,000 enemies.
Considering the bonus points, the additional reward I would receive upon my successful return to the earth would be huge.
“By the way, should I go there or not?”
It wasn’t just the 10th Royal District that tempted me. Excluding the 4th Royal District that was left ownerless after I killed its owner, the black liquid man, and the strongest 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Royal Districts, the 5th, 6th, 8th, and 9th Royal Districts were also left for the taking. Of course, the rulers of the 5th and 6th Royal Districts would be much stronger than Fashant, but I was confident that I could defeat them because the gift that Fashant left behind was pretty good when he died.
I received not only 3,000 remaining stat points but also a whopping 5% reality actualization rate.
In other words, there were many other places for me to go other than the 10th Royal District.
But I decided to move into the 10th Royal District as I originally planned.
“Alright, I will move there as they intend me to. I want to check how well they are prepared to confront me as well.”
Rumors about me have already spread widely. So it’s certain that those in other areas would also be fully ready to confront me just in case.
Even though there were ups and downs in my fights, I could prevail with level 10 Ice Breath that I used as a last resort.
I even killed the black liquid man, the ruler of the 4th Royal District, who allegedly could not display his full strength because he had used up a lot of his energy passing through the narrow hole that led to earth.
Anyway, it was certain that people in other districts were fully prepared. This meant I would not have to go to the trouble of changing my plans and moving to other districts instead the 10th Royal District.
So I resumed my journey to the 10th Royal District.
In the meantime I recalled the Earth, or more precisely, the Myongjin Shelter where my family lived because I was constantly bothered by somebody before I decided to take part in this event. It was none other than the Lucia Guild leader who constantly chased and harassed me.
So I wanted to kill him first before participating in this ‘Advance Party’ event because 30 days here was a long time.
“Hmm… should I have pushed the Antalagos Guild harder?”
The Antalagos Guild was the premier information guild located in Argentina.
But they informed me that they didn’t know much about the Lucia Guild.
As a result, I could not find out the Lucia Guild’s whereabouts.
But I shook off such thoughts because the Myongjin players were pretty strong even without me. And what I had to do for my family and Myongjin was to clear the event perfectly because I was already here.
So I kept moving without worrying about my family and the Myongjin Shelter while looking around carefully just in case.
