The Heavenly Demon Can’t Live A Normal Life [EN]: Chapter 543

A few days before the Second International Conference, Russia learned that China’s Emperor, Wang Wei-long, wanted to meet Roman Dmitry, just like the United States.

The Second International Conference was coming soon, but Wang Wei-long’s actions made things feel unstable. So Russia immediately called an emergency meeting.

The top officials spoke with concern.

“This is bad news. It looks like China and South Korea made a deal.”

“If South Korea is working with China, it’s a big problem for Russia. China wants to take over land and has been watching its neighbors. Russia is strong, so we were safe from China. But if China takes South Korea, they will attack other countries near them.”

“We have to stop them somehow. If things keep going this way, Russia will be in trouble.”

Everyone agreed that China’s growth was a problem for Russia, and President Markov knew he had to do something.

Markov said, his voice filled with regret.

“Ten years ago, when Wang Wei-long first took control of China, we didn’t worry much. That was a mistake. If we had stopped Wang Wei-long then, Russia wouldn’t be worried about China now because we share a border. We can’t make the same mistake again. Russia wants to be the most powerful country in the world. To do that, we must stop Roman Dmitry now. He could become as strong as Wang Wei-long.”

One wrong choice can change everything. That’s why Russia was so worried.

Markov had a chance to stop China before, but he didn’t think a divided nation could become so powerful.

But China quickly became strong with Wang Wei-long in charge.

By then, China was too strong to be defeated. Everyone in the world knew China was a major power.

The situation was the same now.

If they let China take over South Korea, China would become even stronger and threaten Russia.

Logically, there was only one choice.

Even though Wang Wei-long had asked to meet Roman Dmitry, they thought South Korea had given in to China.

Everyone thought this was normal. Wang Wei-long is aggressive and never gives up. South Korea is seen as a weak country, but China is a very strong country.

So, it was natural to think China was in charge, not South Korea. The truth was different, however.

Markov had to make a decision.

He looked at the top officials with sharp eyes.

“If we don’t get what we want at the international conference, we will destroy South Korea. We will make sure China doesn’t get what it wants through South Korea.”

“Surely…” The top officials all thought the same thing.

Markov made their thoughts a reality.

“Prepare for war in secret. Starting with the Second International Conference, we will change the world.”

Boom! Markov slammed the door as he stormed out of the conference room. He was very angry.

Things weren’t going as he expected. He knew China and South Korea had a deal, but he didn’t think China would offer to become a vassal state. He was confused.

He couldn’t understand China’s actions, so he wasn’t sure if he should go ahead with his plan.

An official hurried after Markov.

“Maybe we should stop the plan,” the official said. “China and the US said they will help South Korea. If we start a war now, we could lose.”

“No. If we give up now, we will make the same mistake as before.”

Markov’s face turned cold.

He thought and thought about what to do.

But he couldn’t back down when he saw Roman Dmitry’s arrogance.

“Roman Dmitry is an even bigger threat than Wang Wei-long. If we give him time, South Korea will become a threat to Russia, just like China did 10 years ago. We can’t let that happen again.”

“The problem is President Patrice. He doesn’t want to join the war.”

“Patrice is like that,” Markov said, annoyed. “He acts like he will do things, but when it’s time to decide, he backs down like a coward. He needs a chance to act. He is against Roman Dmitry because of the Maron Church, so he will have to decide if we start the war first. It’s all about timing. At first, it will look like we are fighting alone. But even if the war is short, it will become a world war.”

He angrily rummaged in his pocket. He pulled out a cigar, his desire for action burning like fire inside him, and put it in his mouth.

He took a deep drag. The smell of burning tobacco filled the air. With a slightly calmer look in his eyes, as smoke puffed from his nose and mouth, he continued.

“Right now, we need someone to start the fight. And war is scariest when it’s a surprise.”

He smirked.

South Korea would be caught off guard.

Now that Roman Dmitry was away, it was the perfect time to attack.

“Stop Roman Dmitry from returning home. And tell the army to attack the capital of South Korea immediately.”

“Understood.”

The top official left quickly.

Markov puffed quickly on his cigar, smoke swirling around his head. He stared at the empty conference room, his face bitter. Roman Dmitry was still not there.

Roman Dmitry also left the conference room.

He was about to return to the Great Dmitry Empire, but the wizard in charge of the teleportation circle said he couldn’t.

“I’m sorry, but you can’t use the teleportation circle right now. The mana stones are broken, and it will take at least 2-3 hours to fix and restart it.”

“Understood.”

This was a common problem.

Even for a short teleport to another city, you need a teleportation circle. To go all the way from the Great Dmitry Empire to the United States, it’s much harder.

The wizard said it would take time to fix. Roman Dmitry didn’t ask any questions and stepped back.

Ten minutes later, Park Min-woo received a message and came to Roman Dmitry with a worried face.

“Your Majesty, Russia has declared war and attacked Incheon. It seems they were ready to attack the Great Dmitry Empire if the Second International Conference failed.”

“As expected, the broken teleportation circle was no accident.”

“That’s right.”

It was a trap.

Russia had set a clever trap.

The Second International Conference was in the United States, and the wizard in charge of the teleportation circle was American.

But what if Roman Dmitry suspected him? It would cause problems with the United States.

Markov had used an American spy to stop Roman Dmitry from returning home and cause trouble between the two countries.

If they waited any longer, Incheon would be in danger.

Markov thought he had planned everything perfectly, but he was dealing with Roman Dmitry.

Before leaving the Great Dmitry Empire, Roman Dmitry had thought about everything that could happen.

Roman Dmitry said to Park Min-woo calmly.

“Connect me to President John Harrison.”

“Understood.”

He quickly prepared the connection. He knew what Roman Dmitry would do and handed over the communicator with John Harrison’s voice.

“[Roman Dmitry! I just heard about Russia attacking! What is happening?]”

“President Harrison, we don’t have much time. The wizard in charge of the teleport circle is a Russian spy. He’s trying to stop me from going home and cause trouble between us. I can’t waste time proving it now. Can I deal with him here and send you proof later?”

It was a difficult situation.

The wizard was American.

It might seem wrong to punish him just because they suspected him. But Roman Dmitry put John Harrison in a difficult spot.

In fact, it wasn’t just suspicion.

Roman Dmitry had said he would wait for the repairs, but Park Min-woo had learned that the wizard was delaying the time on purpose.

From that moment on, the Great Dmitry Empire’s intelligence agency began gathering information about the wizard, but Roman Dmitry didn’t explain this to John Harrison.

It was all about the alliance.

It showed who was in control.

John Harrison paused, hearing the coldness in Roman Dmitriev’s voice, and then said, “[I apologize. It’s our fault for not managing our people well. Do what you need to do, and you don’t need to send us any reports.]”

“Yes, thank you for understanding.”

Click.

The call ended. Nothing more needed to be said.

Roman Dmitriev moved forward. A wizard, not understanding what was happening, blocked his way, looking worried.

“I’m sorry, but fixing the magic circle will take some time…”

A flash of silver light.

A sickening thud.

Blood sprayed everywhere.

A head flew off.

People gasped and stared in horror, but Roman Dmitriev spoke coldly, shaking the blood off his sword.

“Park Min-woo, reactivate the teleportation magic circle. This is a glowing circle on the floor, used for magic travel.”

“Where should I set the coordinates to?”

Roman Dmitriev had planned for every possible problem.

He had thought about betrayal from the United States and China, attacks from France and Russia, and so on.

He knew it was foolish to trust only in his own power.

Since Russia was acting on its own, Roman Dmitriev had already figured out how to respond.

“From now on, we are going to Russia,” Roman Dmitriev said, his voice hard.

At that moment, in Incheon, a group of people moved quickly.

They were the Russian special forces, Genotsid. They had secretly entered the Great Han Empire several days before the operation and were hiding among the সাধারণ public, waiting for the order.

The Genotsid members were strong, ranked A and B, but not as powerful as the top S-ranked fighters. They had been trained for special missions from the moment they joined.

They were more than just their rank. They had special training and skills.

Pavel, the leader of Genotsid, spoke to his unit in a hoarse voice.

“From now on, we will split into two teams. Team 1 will attack the Incheon government building and eliminate Incheon Mayor Kim Jun-hyuk. Team 2 will take control of the teleportation magic circle to open the way for the main force to move to Incheon.”

“Understood.”

The order was clear.

Taking control of the teleportation magic circle was important for moving a large number of troops. Also, killing Kim Jun-hyuk was a high priority.

While investigating the Great Han Empire, Kim Jun-hyuk had been marked as dangerous.

A leader who was smart and strategic was a threat. They decided that if Kim Jun-hyuk was taken care of while Roman Dmitriev was away, the Great Han Empire could be captured quickly.

Now it was time to act.

Pavel seemed to vanish, becoming invisible to the eye, using the Hide skill.

“For the glory of Russia!”

“For the glory of Russia!”

Pssssss-

Even though it was daytime, Pavel and the Genotsid members used the Hide skill to quickly move to their targets, splitting into two teams.

Pavel led Team 1. He planned to quickly defeat the guards around Kim Jun-hyuk and then join Team 2.

Thud.

“Ugh.”

The guards were quickly defeated.

Pavel cleared the way and moved to the office where Kim Jun-hyuk was, as he had planned.

He reached his destination.

Pavel and his team secretly opened the door and found Kim Jun-hyuk sitting at his desk, working.

“Are you Mayor Kim Jun-hyuk?” Pavel asked, revealing himself.

There was no need to hide anymore.

His location had been revealed while fighting the guards, and more soldiers would arrive soon. Kim Jun-hyuk would be dead soon.

Even though Kim Jun-hyuk was known to be smart, there was no way an ordinary person without special hunter abilities could survive an attack by Genotsid.

Kim Jun-hyuk looked up. Surrounded by assassins, he calmly took out a pistol from his chest.

“You think you can stop us with just a pistol? You are more foolish than I thought,” Pavel said.

Swish.

Pavel drew his dagger.

As he moved, Kim Jun-hyuk checked the pistol’s magazine.

“Like you said, people always ask me that question. Why do I carry a pistol that doesn’t even work on monsters? After all, when someone in your position is in danger, a pistol won’t work at all.”

He smiled. It was strange.

Even though his life was in danger and the assassins were getting closer, he didn’t seem scared at all.

Click.

There were six bullets in the magazine. After checking, he put the magazine back in.

“This shows I won’t back down. I will fight to the end, and if I think it’s truly over, I would rather shoot myself in the head than be captured and tortured.”

Swish.

He raised his gun.

Pavel and the assassins charged towards Kim Jun-hyuk, as if they wouldn’t listen anymore.

Bang!

Tap tap tap!

The pistol fired.

Five shots.

Pavel’s lips twitched. He realized that Kim Jun-hyuk had given up on living and planned to use the last bullet on himself.

However…

Bang!

Thwack.

Even the last bullet was fired.

Pavel easily deflected the bullet, but he felt uneasy seeing Kim Jun-hyuk’s cold face.

Something was wrong.

Even though he knew the pistol wouldn’t work, and even after saying he would fight to the end, there was no reason to fire all six bullets at them.

He stopped walking.

As he tried to shout a warning…

Pop.

Pop pop pop pop pop.

The world twisted. The ground and ceiling flipped, and they were pulled into an unknown world.

Illusion Formation.

Before completely falling into the illusion, Kim Jun-hyuk’s voice pierced his ears.

“Welcome. Welcome to the base of the Great Han Empire,” Kim Jun-hyuk said with a cold tone.
