In a room illuminated by a small lamp.
It was so cramped that even two people could barely fit, and an unpleasant smell stung the nose.
A slight smell of burning and blood.
And... The stench of decay.
A terrible rotting odor was vibrating inside the room.
And the source of that smell was, of course, corpses.
The ‘sacrifices’ that were densely filling this space.
“Even with management, it’s in this state.”
Aquilen frowned and covered his nose as soon as he entered the room.
He had tried to manage it by embalming, but not being an expert, it couldn’t be perfect.
Still, it was fortunate that he had filled the required number.
Having met the quota for corpses, now if he could just fill the living quota, he could finish the task assigned by the vice-master of the faction.
“Ah, here you are.”
As he was briefly inspecting the room, a man with a vile expression entered following Aquilen.
The man was a temporary subordinate hired for this mission.
He wasn’t an ‘Escapee’ member like Dave or Aquilen, but a kind of thug Holder called an Outholder.
Whether there’s trash everywhere or not, even after
Thanks to them, this job was being resolved quite smoothly.
“Sir, the task you assigned is almost complete. Hehe.”
“When will it be finished?”
“Well~ This group was lured with direct trades of items and magic stones, so we should be able to kidnap them on the trade day in a few days. Especially this time, there are many high-quality ones, so you can look forward to it.”
Moreover, since they were guys who didn’t think about the consequences, the kidnapping of Holders could proceed rather easily.
At the man’s flattery that the quality was particularly good this time, Aquilen let out a snicker.
Tak-
And he threw a pouch that was on one side to him.
It was the balance of the request fee set for this job.
“Contact me when you finish the job. I’ll check it personally.”
The heavy request fee felt weighty just by holding it.
Confirming this, the man broke into a broad smile.
Then he kept bowing his head to Aquilen as he answered.
“Yes, yes! Of course!”
The man left the room, bowing so low his waist might break.
Left alone, Aquilen took out a cigarette in the room reeking of decay.
Cigarettes were the favorite indulgence he had come to enjoy the most after ‘escaping’ to Earth.
“Soon... It will be concluded.”
And he thought, muttering into the air.
When the preparations for both living and dead sacrifices are complete...
The plan would move to the implementation stage.
His superior, Dave, was not one to make mistakes in such matters, and Aquilen was not one to cause problems in a plan he had put so much time into.
The plan that the Ludenark faction had been preparing for a long time.
It was the preparation for the ‘escape’ of the faction leader ‘Flinklo’.

“Hmm....”
A heavy tension overflows in the room.
I quietly swallowed with a face more tense than ever before.
Although I had experienced such confrontations many times, there had never been a day when I felt such pressure.
It was that important a discussion, with complex interests intertwined.
“Juyeon, you go out.”
“...Again?”
Kang Juyeon, who was beside me, frowned.
It’s quite a rare expression for her.
She probably got a bit annoyed at being told to leave the room again, after staying quietly in her seat without saying a word since the conversation started.
“This is an important talk. I need to have it alone with my son-in-law.”
Kang Woo-hyun drew the line with a firm face.
His words made me think for a moment.
‘...He’s just calling me son-in-law now.’
Especially for him, who adores his daughter dearly, fighting with her for a long time would be quite unbearable.
Probably Kang Woo-hyun was also very uncomfortable with the current situation where they unintentionally became confrontational.
In that respect...
This solution, which could satisfy both father and daughter, was too attractive.
“Alright. I accept the friendly clan proposal.”
Finally, Kang Woo-hyun gave a positive sign.
At the same time, both my and Kang Juyeon’s expressions brightened.
Although there were still complicated procedures left for the friendly agreement, it felt like we had overcome the biggest hurdle.

“A friendly clan...”
The same conversation took place at
Here, not only Moon Jeong-hyuk but another man was present.
Hwang Geon-wook.
The clan master of
Also, as Moon Jeong-hyuk’s brother-in-law and Moon Ga-eun’s uncle, he was a middle-aged man.
He was quite composed and rational, considering my proposal without being swayed by emotions.
“Not bad.”
Fortunately, the result was positive.
To be honest, I think it’s an effective plan too.
No matter how senior a clan member or heir to the clan they are, Kang Juyeon and Moon Ga-eun are still student Holders who haven’t graduated from the academy yet.
So regardless of how talented they are or how outstanding their skills are... Itmeans they must be at the academy for 2 years during non-vacation periods.
In this situation, to temporarily join a new special clan that receives full support from the academy and guarantees free activity?
It was a dispatch that could secure both fame and practical benefits.
“But Holder Do Jae-hyun. There’s one thing I’m curious about.”
“Please ask.”
“This proposal, did you perhaps go to Judgment of Fire with it as well?”
Hwang Geon-wook’s sharp intuition activated.
It was a widely known fact that I was in a relationship with not only Moon Ga-eun but also Kang Juyeon.
It was a reasonable deduction that I would have naturally gone to
To this, I nodded and answered.
“That’s correct. We’ve already completed the friendly clan agreement with Judgment of Fire.”
“I see.”
Hwang Geon-wook, as if he had heard the most important information.
With a confident face, he smiled and extended his hand to me.
“Good. Let’s have Royal join as well. I’d like to make the agreement today without fail.”
In Hwang Geon-wook’s eyes as he said this...
Some kind of inexplicable competitive spirit was swirling.
I looked at Moon Ga-eun beside me with a perplexed gaze, but she also had a face that didn’t understand what was going on.
And then....
-Hello, Holder Do Jae-hyun. I am An Hojin, the head of the secretarial team for the Dragon Sword Clan. Our clan master wishes to meet with you, Holder Do Jae-hyun, so I’m taking the liberty of contacting you like this. It’s regarding discussions about forming a friendly alliance with the new clan you’re establishing.
A text message from an unfamiliar number.
It was a message from the secretary of Song Do-hyuk, the master of the
And the topic of the meeting was, as expected, about the friendly clan agreement.
Right after finishing the agreement with
‘No, is this even something to compete over?’
I stared at my phone with an astounded face.
I had put in effort and thought to recruit Kang Juyeon and Moon Ga-eun as initial members, but for some reason, other clans were actively reaching out to our clan.
‘We haven’t even started establishing yet....’
Some unexpected pressure starts to weigh on my shoulders.
If this, by any chance.
If the clan establishment falls through, it would be a big problem.
Now it was truly a stage where I couldn’t back down.
