Became a Dark Merchant in the Academy - Chapter 160
159 – Fiance_18
It was thanks to the 10 years of reign as the leader of the Namseoul faction that I was able to realize the situation underwater.
To be exact, it was the help of connections that had been built up layer by layer.
‘Brother, do you know about the Villain Alliance?’
A story that leaked out while I was gathering information on Eishun using the underlings of the Hero Association who had been secretly doing backroom deals.
‘It’s not a confirmed story, but I’ve heard some strange stories going around the association lately. The source is probably the villain Kang Chun-sam, who was arrested as a person related to the recent national academy terror incident…’
If I had just stayed still, I would have been hit without even knowing what was happening.
I never thought they’d be working on that first.
And it’s almost finished.
‘I heard that there are mixed opinions among the higher-ups. However, one thing is certain: the association is planning to carry out a large-scale crackdown on villains soon. So I’m telling you this because I think it would be best to be careful.’
“Tsk.”
If things continued like this, we wouldn’t be able to do anything. The association would be completely destroyed.
That’s why we looked for ways to cover it up in various ways.
‘By the way, I heard that a man named Eishun, the number one suspect, was found near your brother’s villa. You’re not… related to him, are you? No, you shouldn’t be.’
The more this happened, the more we could see how sturdy the enemy’s traps were.
‘They say that the guys from the Black Bear faction’s lower organization may have something to do with the incident.’
First of all, the people who committed that incident were subordinates of organizations connected to this side.
‘Besides, they say that the axe gang members were also included in the investigation net…’
There could be a traitor among those who attended the meeting, who were carefully selected.
‘As Hero Lee Yu-rin said. This incident is also related to the Laplace Academy terrorist incident a year ago…’
Where on earth did you start planning this?
Since when did he start planning this operation? Now it was beyond mysterious and scary.
There was no other sharp way now.
Even if they voluntarily paid taxes to the Hero Association, would those people believe them?
The evidence and testimony are all manipulated to point to this side being the culprit of the incident?
You could kill that guy named Eishun to vent your anger, but since he was just bait in the first place, it would be safe whether he died or not.
Does that mean I should pick a fight with you?
To those guys who disappear as if they’ve teleported?
Even if we can destroy them to some extent, we won’t be able to deal much damage to their main base.
If we could have struck from the beginning, we would have been able to gather proper information and not have gotten involved in this incident.
The car was also a murder and a Trojan horse, and he had plans to use it in reverse.
It was all bait.
“after.”
Han Sang-won really wanted to smoke a cigarette, even though he had quit a long time ago.
My fingertips are trembling and my chest feels tight.
The association was approaching.
There was no chance of winning the fight.
Even if the entire union rushes in against the president alone, it’s a monster that it’s hard to say whether they’ll be able to defeat him or not.
There are six more similar monsters.
In such a situation, the reason why villains have been able to live in South Korea until now is because they have kept to the line, without giving them an excuse, and within the bounds of the law.
But this time, it provided too big an excuse.
Unless there’s some sort of teleportation, you’ll be captured without a fight.
‘There is no way.’
And if he gets caught, public opinion will be so loud. He will rot in prison forever because of the upcoming election.
In a way, it was fortunate that they didn’t die, but if they were to be swept away like this, it was obvious to anyone that they would completely devour this side.
‘That is unacceptable.’
If I was just going to take the beating. If I was going to bow down to someone. I wouldn’t have even created something like an alliance.
So it’s a gamble.
If I don’t throw some shit at the guy who’s trying to set a trap like this and throw himself into a hole, I’ll explode with anger and die.
So, at the meeting, the idea of destroying the gate was proposed.
An explanation of the current situation, preparation of the trap. The reason was that the result would be the same no matter what.
If there’s any difference, it’s just whether you take it while standing still or whether you try to do something.
The result thus obtained was agreement.
There were complaints, but it was because they too knew that they were now on a ship from which they could not get off.
If things had gone as planned, fires could have started elsewhere and the incident could have been covered up.
That was because I thought that then I would be able to find a place to escape to.
‘Are you coming to stop me?’
There are traitors, so this fact will reach their ears.
In that case, there was every possibility that they would come to stop it.
But it doesn’t matter.
The work will be over before the contents reach your ears.
If you had prepared for the incident before it happened, this one would have been even quicker than you said.
“The siege is complete. Give orders at any time.”
A 7-level gate located deep in the mountains of Gangwon-do where night has fallen.
Commonly called nest.
Han Sang-won paused for a moment to listen to his subordinate’s report from the bushes far away, then nodded.
‘I can’t say no now.’
“Let’s start.”
“All right.”
As soon as Han Sang-won finished speaking, a black hail suddenly covered the gate.
“Stop, who the…”
“Wait a minute, who the hell are you guys…Kkaaak!”
“Enemy, enemy!!!”
At the same time, the blood and screams of the heroes guarding the entrance to the gate echoed faintly through the mountains.
For a moment, he was left with only the gentle sound of the grass rustling in the wind as usual, in the face of overwhelming violence.

[Unidentified individuals have infiltrated the Level 7 Gate, commonly known as the Nest, located near Seoraksan Mountain in Gangwon Province. Their purpose has not been revealed, but judging from the fact that they brutally killed the guards and entered, it is judged that they may be planning to destroy the gate. Accordingly, an emergency summons is given to all heroes above Class B….]
“Those crazy kids…”
As the investigation made progress, Yurin Lee, who had been sleeping soundly for the first time in a long while, quietly cursed at the sudden text message that arrived.
“You’re trying to destroy the gate?”
Are you doing this knowing what it means?
The destruction of a gate does not end with monsters simply jumping out of the destroyed gate.
For some reason, the upper gate is connected to the lower gate. If one gate is destroyed, the lower gate is also affected.
In other words, if a gate is destroyed, the sub-gates connected to it are destroyed in a chain.
There are usually more than 30 sub-gates connected to a level 7 gate.
In other words, if a level 7 gate is destroyed, it means that monsters will pop out from 30 gates at the same time.
What would happen if that happened?
Because it is not possible to know which gate is connected to which gate.
Although we don’t know for sure, there was bound to be enormous human casualties.
There was no way to prepare in advance.
You can’t destroy the gate to find out, you know.
‘What kind of guys are these…’
Yurin gritted her teeth.
No matter how much I think about it…
‘The goal of the Villain Alliance is to overthrow the nation.’
Suddenly, Kang Chun-sam’s words came to mind.
I thought it was nonsense, so I just received the information and ignored it.
‘I don’t know the exact details of the plan, but that must be their intention.’
I should have believed it.
Of course, even if you believed it, you wouldn’t have been able to prepare properly since you said you didn’t know what he was trying to do.
But didn’t you prepare to some extent?
“Damn.”
Yurin shook her head.
The incident happened, and it’s not too late to regret it.
There is only one thing to do now.
-Wooow!
It was a response to an emergency call that kept ringing on my phone.
After finishing her preparations, Yurin Lee made a phone call.
[Hello. Senior, where am I going…]
[Prepare the tea.]
[Oh, okay, I understand.]
At the same time, he focused his mana on his feet and kicked the ground.
“Here you go, senior!”
How much did you run?
After leaving the main gate of Laplace Academy, Yurin approached a woman waving her hand in front of a white soxta in the distance.
From noble mtl dot com
“You must be tired. First…”
“Let’s go.”
“Oh, yes!”
Then I got into the passenger seat right away.
The destination was Seoraksan Mountain in Gangwon-do.

‘Suicide together…’
Don’t they say that when cornered, even a mouse will bite the cat?
That’s exactly what it was like.
When you realize that you can’t escape the trap, you’ll do something like, “I’ll go with you even if you have to go.”
‘It’s a gamble, but I used my head.’
The destruction of the Gate is a grave betrayal of humanity’s survival.
It is clear that war against the villains will be declared.
If that’s the case, then even if it’s not this side of the country that has turned its back on itself, it won’t be able to eat even a grain of rice.
Therefore, this side also had no choice but to suffer great damage.
‘…you’d think so.’
But that’s only applicable when the levels are equal.
There’s no way I know what I have.
I guess I ran away when I sensed something was going on, but it seems like I made a hasty decision as soon as the plan was discussed.
If things went wrong, I could just run away.
Likewise, if you send your organization members to the island and hide them underground, no one will be able to find them.
‘It’s a clown show.’
I was playing around with it to get something done quickly because I was annoyed.
I never thought you’d pull a prank like this.
“Xiaomei.”
Still, it was time to wrap things up.
Arriving at the infirmary, I said the name of Xiaomei, who was fast asleep.
“It’s time to move.”
The plans I had made during winter vacation were coming to an end.
