Big Brother needs to hurry and save them…
“Still no word from Fifth Squad?” Motius asked.
“No, sir,” his helper replied. “And I can’t find Kava anywhere.”
Motius, the second-in-command of the Black Shield special forces, felt worried because Fifth Squad was still missing. He immediately suspected Kava.
But,
“We found Kava, sir.”
His men found Kava asleep in front of the Wandering Merchant Association headquarters.
He reeked of alcohol. Kava’s nickname was ‘Boozehound’ because he could drink a lot without getting drunk.
Also, there were pig footprints and cat paw prints on his face. This showed he had been in a silly fight, not planning a betrayal.
“Find the ones who attacked Fifth Squad and Kava!”
“Yes, sir!”
As the Black Shield members searched the area,
“Deputy Commander, a witness saw Kava fighting with a pink pig and getting beaten up.”
“A pink pig… Could it be the Master Merchant Yuren?!”
“Yes, sir. That’s right. He said he was Master Merchant Yuren. But something seems strange.”
“What is it?”
“Yuren was there when Fifth Squad was attacked.”
“Could Yuren have told the Lizard Kingdom our plan?!” Motius thought.
“The probability is high, sir.”
“Where is he?! I’ll question him closely to find out what he knows.”
“I will guide you, sir.”
Motius, led by his men, went to the Goldenship where Sejun was staying.
That pig dares to mess with the Black Shield special forces?! I’ll show him why we’re called the Devils of the Swamp!
He smiled, imagining how he would question Yuren for interfering with their work. Motius was getting angrier as he walked to the Goldenship.
When Motius arrived in front of the Goldenship,
“He’s on the top floor, sir.”
“We’ll climb the walls to get in.”
“Yes, sir.”
Following Motius’s orders, 100 Black Shield members began climbing the walls like spiders, moving fast and making no sound in the dark.
Just as they were about to reach the top floor where Sejun was staying,
(Who are you?)
Bat Bat, who was patrolling the area, suddenly appeared next to Motius and asked.
What?! When did he appear?
Motius was surprised by Bat Bat’s sudden appearance.
He’s strong.
Cold sweat trickled down his back as he looked at Bat Bat, whose presence he couldn’t sense even when he was right in front of him.
Just then,
Whoosh.
One of Motius’s men threw a dagger at Bat Bat.
They thought Bat Bat was just a normal bat and a pest, so they tried to kill him.
However,
Ting.
The dagger bounced harmlessly off Bat Bat’s golden dragon leather.
Clang.
The dagger fell to the ground, its metallic sound echoing through the quiet night.
(Bat bat! Be quiet! This is where our Sejun is staying!)
Thwack.
Bat Bat, enraged, knocked out the Black Shield member who threw the dagger at him and quickly placed him on the roof.
At that moment,
Thud.
“Bat Bat, is someone outside?”
Sejun, hearing Bat Bat’s voice, opened the window and looked outside.
Now’s our chance!
“Attack him!”
Motius pointed at Sejun and ordered the attack. It was an instinctive decision.
Victory or escape was impossible against Bat Bat.
Therefore, his instincts told him that targeting the relatively weaker Sejun was the only possibility.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh.
Following Motius’s orders, hundreds of daggers flew quickly towards Sejun.
Sejun saw the daggers coming. He thought about trying to stop them, but…
“Meow! Mya nya meow!”
Squeak!
Thanks to Theo and Squeak’s strong defense, not a single dagger reached Sejun.
Hey, save some for me too…
As Sejun was feeling disappointed,
Squeak?! Squeak!
[These guys are messing with our butler?! Let’s go, kids!]
Enraged, Blackie trusted his subordinates with flying abilities and jumped out of the window.
And then,
“Hey! Where are you going?!”
Squeak?
Sejun grabbed him and put him back in the sling bag.
In the meantime, the situation was quickly resolved.
“Hehe. Become an employee of the great Hybrid Park, meow!”
Stamp. Stamp.
Theo stamped the foreheads of the unconscious Black Shield members, while Squeak and Bat Bat searched the Black Shield members’ bodies and took their money.
The members only had about 100 Tower Coins each, but
Squeak!
[Big Brother, this guy has a lot of money!]
(Bat bat! Big Brother, this guy has a lot of money too!)
Deputy Commander Motius and the adjutant had 10 trillion Tower Coins and 7 trillion Tower Coins, respectively.
Thanks to this, Theo was able to earn nearly 21 trillion Tower Coins in just one day.
Theo was getting richer and richer, starting from Yuren’s bad luck.
Roll.
It was still growing, not stopping.
“Hehe. This is very lucrative, meow!”
Theo was delighted with the much larger side income than Motius’s bounty, and
“Great Hybrid Park, I made a lot of money, meow!”
He ran to Sejun with the money to brag.
And then,
“Hehe. Park, take this, meow!”
He handed it to Sejun. Theo loved getting money, but he loved being with Sejun even more.
“Okay. Good job.”
“Hehe. I’m always good, meow!”
He also liked the feeling of happiness that rose every time he acted haughtily towards Sejun.
Theo, who had a great ceremony on Sejun’s lap,
“Yaaawn… Park, sleepy….”
Gurgle.
He yawned widely, clung to Sejun’s lap, and fell asleep.
“Squeak, let’s go to sleep quickly. Bat Bat, come inside too. It’s cold outside.”
Squeak!
(Bat bat! Yes!)
Sejun called Squeak and Bat Bat into the room,
Thud.
Closed the window, and went to sleep, leaving the unconscious Black Shield members on the ground.
It was a cold and sad night for the Black Shield members.
***
The next morning.
“Ah. So delicious….”
Olibo, who woke up early and had a hearty breakfast at the hotel, was about to leave when he stepped out of the hotel door and
“Huh?!”
He discovered the Black Lizardmen lying on the ground.
Just then,
“Olibo, are you leaving now?”
Sejun, who came down to eat breakfast, called out to Olibo.
“Yes. Thank you so much for booking such a nice room. I slept very well, thanks to you.”
“I’m glad you were satisfied. And you don’t need to come all the way here. I’ll go to Simon Village where you are. So please just prepare the seeds.”
“Yes!”
Sejun decided to visit Olibo’s village himself because he had acquired the land deed for the 63rd floor of the Tower.
He was planning to dig up a few cinnamon trees and plant them on the 99th floor of the Tower if possible.
“Then I’ll see you later.”
As Olibo left, Sejun and his party also ate breakfast.
As breakfast ended,
“Heh heh. Wake up, meow!”
Slap. Slap.
Theo was waking up Motius, who was unconscious.
He could have stored Motius in a magic space, like he did with the other Black Shield members, to take him to Zeras for the reward. But first, he wanted to know exactly where Ulkan, the leader of the Black Shield, was hiding.
Zeras had told him that Ulkan was on the 65th floor of the tower, but he didn’t know the exact location.
“Ugh.”
Motius woke up.
“Where is Ulkan?”
Sejun asked.
“Hmph! I am an elite soldier! I have trained my mind to resist torture! Do you think I would tell you where our leader is?!”
Motius scoffed.
“Yeah. I think you will.”
“What?!”
“Blackie, go get him.”
Thud.
Sejun put Blackie on the floor.
“Hee hee! Grrr! Grrr?!”
[Heh heh. Leave it to me, Butler! You bullied our Butler yesterday, didn’t you?!]
Tap tap tap!
Thud.
Blackie ran and headbutted Motius. Motius and all of Blackie’s group fell to the ground at the same time, unconscious.
Motius’s mental world.
“Huh?! Where is this?”
Motius looked around his mental world. It was his first time visiting it.
Then,
“Grrrr.”
Thud. Thud. Thud.
Blackie growled, and his friends appeared behind him.
“······.”
Motius was terrified. He had mental training, but it was useless against Blackie’s family. They were too powerful.
Just seeing Blackie’s group made him feel like his soul would be crushed.
“Bow your head.”
“Yes!”
Blackie spoke, and Motius quickly bowed his head. He didn’t even think about refusing.
A moment later,
“Sob sob. I’ll tell you everything! Ulkan is in Redin Fortress on the 65th floor of the tower.”
Motius cried and told them exactly where Ulkan was.
“And the rebellion is in a week…”
He gave them all the information, even what they didn’t ask for.
Sejun got the information from Motius.
“Now, let’s go to Zeras and get the reward.”
He gave Zeras a big gift in the morning and went to the 65th floor of the tower.
Seed Shop Headquarters.
[Scoring result: 72 points.]
[Passed the passing score of 70 points.]
[Congratulations.]
[You have become an executive of the Seed Shop Headquarters.]
“Yes! I passed!”
I am now one of the four executives of the Seed Shop!
Dark, the God of Darkness, passed the Seed Shop executive exam and shouted with joy.
With Muttabak together, the Seed Shop will be even better! I will become the core of power!
As soon as Dark entered the Seed Shop headquarters, he prepared for the Seed Shop executive exam and became one of the four executives.
Creak.
Dark opened his door and came out.
“Muttabak!”
“Muttabak!”
“Muttabak!”
The shouts of the non-combat gods echoed outside. Their voices rose and fell like waves.
Sejun had built monuments to honor the gods’ achievements. He had heard their names from Torong yesterday morning.
“Oh, Muttabak! I will not forget your kindness!”
Order, the God of Order, was so touched that he was crying.
And
“Huh?! It’s not Mitubak, it’s Muttabak?”
Indeed!
Dark smiled, realizing that Sejun’s status had risen even higher in the Seed Shop headquarters.
The Sejun coin was climbing higher and faster than a firework on launch night, reaching its highest price today.
[Arrived at the 65th floor of the Black Tower.]
…
..
.
Sejun looked around the farm.
“What kind of farm is this?”
He had 5 seconds of invincibility and was strong enough not to be afraid below the 70th floor of the tower.
Then,
Clang.
“Chairman Park, I missed you, meow!”
Squawk!
Grrr!
Theo, Queng, and Blackie’s family ran out of the magic space.
Tweet!
[I’ll scout around!]
“Woohoo. Aren’t we having snacks?”
Piyot and Yuren also followed.
A moment later,
“Heh heh. Stamp it, meow!”
Theo stamped the long-tailed green monkeys that Sejun had captured.
[Stamped the Nine Dragons employee contract seal.]
…
..
.
[The administrator of the Black Tower, the great Black Dragon Eileen Brittany, will monitor and protect the affiliated employees from now on.]
A message appeared in front of Theo.
[You have taken over the long-tailed green monkeys who illegally occupied the avocado farm.]
[Quest completed.]
…
..
.
At the same time, Sejun got a message that he had completed the land document quest and was now the owner of the avocado farm.
As the situation was sorted out,
“Oh. It’s good. Guys, try it.”
Sejun shared the avocado with his group.
Squawk!
[It’s delicious!]
“Woohoo. It’s soft!”
Queng and Yuren were the only ones who really liked it.
As Yuren was enjoying the avocado,
Rumble.
The ground began to shake, as if trying to interrupt Yuren’s meal.
And
-A strong smell of misfortune is coming.
A voice was heard from underground.
Wham!
Suddenly, the earth exploded upwards. A giant hand shot out of the ground, grabbing Yuren in a flash. Then, just as quickly, hand and Yuren vanished back into the earth, leaving a gaping hole.
“Huh?!”
Sejun was shocked.
“Heh heh.”
Theo smiled, looking forward to what kind of luck would appear if he followed Yuren.
However,
Grrr…
[Big brother needs to go and save him quickly···]
Blackie looked at Theo worriedly.
Blackie knew who had kidnapped Yuren. It was the Misfortune Devourer Sand Wraith Agony, a wraith that grows stronger by devouring unfortunate fates. It was one of the five immortals that Blackie couldn’t defeat.
