11 rankers in the world federation and 5 people from Cha Jun Sung’s group – there are exactly 16 people . Rankers are debating in a conference room in Black City .

The opposition to take a hit on Blood Kingdom or hold out . Cha Jun Sung did not interfere and just watched . He is not is a position to interfere and say something .

The strategists did not ask for his opinion either . They do not want to make it difficult by getting a 3rd party involved . The conference is leaning towards holding out .

It is impossible to get ahead of Strategist with words . Most of the people who want to attack, just want to get payback without logic .

They cannot think of a way to convince others because they are so angry . Strategist took control of the situation and calmed each of them down .

He explained why it is not the time in different ways so each of them could understand . As time passed, they gradually calmed down .

“Level B, level A if we go further . If we open them up before Blood Kingdom does, we’ll be opening the store first as well . We’re just pushing it back until then . ”

With fully modified bodies and battlesuits, they can beat all of Mechanic City’s Lifers even if they all come at the same time . The level of strength becomes different .

If they each have the strength to take on a level 8, they can knock buildings over like a breeze and kill level 6s . They will be able to do anything if they have the power .

“But the card went missing when Argos died . Opening level B . Fine . We can fill the force up with rankers and people with battlesuits . ”

An advance mission with 100 battlesuit Lifers? There will be sacrifices, but it is worth trying out . The problem is that Blood Kingdom is the same .

If they had the card, they would consider different cases and choose the optimal timing . If they do not? They cannot dominate the departure line .

Strategist is listening to the rankers’ conversation, and looks at Cha Jun Sung . Cha Jun Sung is nervous and gulps . He can figure out why Strategist is looking at him like that .

“You got the card from Argos, didn’t you?”

“Yes . ”

“Huh?”

Nuclear points to Cha Jun Sung in surprise . A few had the same reaction and a few looked on as though they had been expecting as much .

“… . . I assume you have no intention of selling it . ”

“I’m going to use it . ”

Strategist left out the details of how Cha Jun Sung got the card and how he saved Argos from Blood Kingdom’s attack .

All that is important in the current situation is that Cha Jun Sung has the card .

It may be cruel, but the world federation cannot put much meaning in Argos’ life . Everything originated from the card in the first place .

“Overload . It’s originally an item that was promised in a deal with us . ”

“What is he talking about?”

Boom Buster’s tone repels Park Jin Hyuk . It sounds like he is telling Cha Jun Sung to hand the card over . Nonsense! It was only promised, and there was no completed deal .

“What? Kid, get out of the picture . ”

“Don’t attack me . I want to shoot a bullet through your head . ”

Boom Buster glares at Park Jin Hyuk . Park Jin Hyuk ignores him .

“The world federation can’t claim it as ours . ”

“So you’re saying we should hand it over?”

Chamma Sword stops him and Boom Buster raises his voice .

He is holding a grudge from falling to Cha Jun Sung in the past, and is glaring . Is he of the mindset that he cannot see others doing well?

“We’ll give you twice the amount of points we promised Argos . What do you think?”

“Sorry . ”

He will not sell it for any amount of points . He can gather points at any time as long as he is alive, but the card is an item that is full of endless possibilities .

“Braybourke! Are you just going to watch? That was supposed to be yours!”

“Chamma Sword is right . We can’t claim ownership of it . ”

Weapon Master abandoned regrets for the card with his arms crossed . Cha Jun Sung selling that? Unless he is crazy, he would not do it .

His abilities are at level with the rankers . He might actually be higher . He has the ability to bring out the card’s value . There is a saying, a pearl necklace on a pig’s neck . To apply it, if Cha Jun Sung is a king, the card is his crown .

“Ugh!”

Boom Buster storms out in frustration . It is not just that he does not like Cha Jun Sung, but everything including the whole situation with Blood Kingdom is getting to him . They are getting hit from everywhere and nothing is going as planned .

“He still has a terrible personality . ”

“I don’t think that’s anything for you to say . ”

Park Jin Hyuk eyed Violet and responded to her . Boom Buster is dirty, but Violet is rough around the edges .

“Overload . Do you want to try out a 1 million point mission?”

“We have gone to 900,000 . ”

Strategist nods . He had a rough expectation .

Overload, Amhu, Empress of Light . The 3 of them alone are enough of a force to go into a 900,000 point mission . With the support of sniper Park Jin Hyuk and medic Kyoko, there will not be too much trouble until 1 million .

“We have gone as far as 1 . 1 million . 15 rankers, 13 battlesuit owners . A full force with Lifers who have gone through the 4th stage of body modifications . ”

Cha Jun Sung listened in silence . If someone is speaking, he needs to show that he is listening .

“28 Lifers with battlesuits were tied on to taking on levels 5 and 6 . They really were incredible . I can’t even imagine 2 million . ”

He has clearly shown that he will not sell the card . Strategist’s words have a different meaning .

“We were thinking of trying out level B missions in half a year . All of the members are battlesuit owners . ”

4 rankers died . That is a big hit . Someone needs to fill up those spots . Why are rankers important? What is the difference between battlesuit rankers and battlesuit Lifers? A simple matter of know-how? No . That know-how is a benchmark of differentiating between the two .

“When those 4 died, we lost their battlesuit modification methods . ”

Basic battlesuits can be remodeled according to the Lifer’s style when upgrading . The modification method of Cha Jun Sung’s over booster is something that only he knows .

Even if an average Lifer opens up the level B store, they need to go through countless trial and error before they can remodel their battlesuits in their personal styles . Cha Jun Sung also wasted a tremendous amount of money while configuring the over booster in the virtual version .

The battlesuit is destroyed if they fail in the remodeling . He is not sure if it will work here as well, but he is pretty sure it will be the same . Several thousands of points will be wasted with 1 failure?

The modification methods converted the rankers’ value . Even if they are similar to average Lifers now, their potential ability is unmatched .

“According to my calculations, a full force of battlesuit owners and volume can cover for level C advancement . Though it is like a bee running into a wasp . ”

Level B advancement? Thinking of taking on level 7 in pure volume is the same as a shortcut to massacre . That will be when the rankers’ true power is exercised .

“What is the point?”

“That card . Are you going to use it to open the level B store?”

“I am thinking about it… . . ”

If he is just thinking about his own group, he needs to use it to open level B . This is because there are only 5 of them . Battlesuit modifications are necessary for the 5 of them to advance .

‘Aha . I got it . ’

Cha Jun Sung read Strategist’s mind . He once thought of joining the world federation to make an attempt at an advancement mission . The 2 groups have the same goal .

There is no reason to reject them when they are offering to add strength . If they end up joining forces, they can get through C with volume . They would not need to use the card to open level B .

The Lifers had slowly taken steps into level C already, and the rankers have gone over 1 million . This kind of item shines brighter as it is kept for longer .

“Do you want to try to advance with us in 6 months? If you do that, you can use the card to open up level A . As long as you have the points, you’ll be able to gain the strength to fight level 8 . ”

“Help each other?”

“Even without the card… . . The world federation has the strength to open level B . I’m not as confident about level A . ”

Cha Jun Sung’s group cannot open level B without the card . But if they receive help, they have the capacity to open level A . Strategist wants to arrange a give and take . The world federation will open level B for them, and they will help the federation open level A .

‘If we get to level A… . . I’ll be able to face that guy . ’

Underpass .

The level 8 Blood Lord that brings mental collapse . Since it had just been born, it would have developed and reached near completion .

‘There’s nothing to lose as a party . ’

They will receive help once and give help once . Cha Jun Sung is of the personality where he usually does not want to do either, but that is different by circumstance .

It may be different if they have several lives, but they just have one . If he wants to stay alive until Life Mission ends, it is right to use everything he can .

Cha Jun Sung looks at his party members . They will all have understood .

“I’m for it . ”

“Of course we should if we keep efficiency in mind . ”

No one rejects it . They are not so close minded that they are completely against working with others .

“Alright . ”

Cha Jun Sung allows it . It is not an improvised decision . Even though the amount of time they had to think was short, this is the best option .

“Since you said it’s in 6 months, we can act on our own until then?”

“Yes . That doesn’t matter . ”

They will not restrict their actions . They can just help out when they are contacted .

“But are you in contact with any other rankers? If they are preparing for the advance mission as well, it will be better to have more people . ”

“What do you mean by other rankers?”

“People like Nine Tails, Light Shooter, Invisible, and Perforation Eye . ”

“I can get in contact with a few of them . I was actually going to get in touch with them and ask if they wanted to help with the advancement mission . ”

There are 14 rankers gathered here . They are all connected and know each other .

Though it may not be necessary in level C, they need to form relationships to increase their power with modified battlesuits .

“I’ll take it that you will not speak more about the card . ”

“Yes . ”

The conversation is over . The strategists spoke a little more, but there was nothing that Cha Jun Sung needed to pay attention to .

“Jun Sung, we lost that guy twice . ”

“Who? Blood King?”

“He’ll get stronger from now on . If we knew this was going to happen, we should have done whatever it took to kill him in Field of Meat . ”

“I agree . ”

While the world federation rankers spoke among themselves, Cha Jun Sung and Park Jin Hyuk talked about Blood King . If they had killed him at the time, if they had not saved him, this would not have happened .

“What are you talking about?”

Dual Blade approached Cha Jun Sung . He wants to get acquainted .

“Blood King . We’ve seen him twice . In the advance level E mission Field of Meat and today . But we lost him both times . ”

Park Jin Hyuk poured out his complaints .

It was then . Weapon Master’s expression changed . He could hear with his enhanced sense of hearing with body modifications .

“Overload . ”

“It’s the first time since PVP . It’s been a while . ”

Cha Jun Sung greeted Weapon Master, who was suddenly standing next to him . He could remember when he came all the way from Europe to look for him .

“What did you just say?”

“About what?”

“Didn’t you say Field of Meat?”

“Oh! Right . But what about it?”

“Blood King was in that mission too?”

Cha Jun Sung got a weird feeling .

How should he describe it? It feels like he is being interrogated? He was annoyed with the unilateral question, but did not show it .

He thought that there must be a reason for it . Weapon Master has a cold personality, but he has a strong ego as nobility and courtesy is an innate characteristic .

“We weren’t in the same party, but he was trapped in there after failing to attack . ”

There is something to it from the way he is asking . He explained everything in detail so that there would be no questions .

Weapon Master frowned because his immature brother and special forces had been attacked out of nowhere and killed by Blood King .

‘So it was him . ’

Since his brother’s death, Weapon Master worked to find the culprit .

He had thought that it would be possible with his family’s power, but it had not been easy . It was so difficult that he would have to give up if the culprit did not admit to it .

But he finally found out the truth today . He knows what happened inside the mission . He did not think of it as a coincidence . This had been inevitable .

It is a divine order to kill the person who insulted the Venter family . He cannot do it immediately . He does not have enough power, and it is not a circumstance in which he could do so .

‘I will get revenge . Not for you, but for mother and the family . ’

Weapon Master is not as fond of Carlyle as Isabel is . Though they have the same blood, they might as well be strangers .

But that is not entirely the relationship . Carlyle is still his little brother . It would have been different if he had not been able to find the culprit but now that he has, he cannot leave Blood King alone .

Beep beep!

[That man is English . ] [Yeah . ]

Park Jin Hyuk watched Weapon Master’s actions and texted Cha Jun Sung for confirmation . He suddenly experienced an unexplained feeling .

[Doesn’t he look strangely similar to the yahoo we met in Field of Meat?]

Cha Jun Sung finally began to examine Weapon Master’s face closely . He does look similar . They are both English and yahoos, and he seems to be a noble too .

Beep beep!

[Do you think that’s his brother? Cousin?] [Let’s ask Violet later . She’ll know family relationships at least . ]

It is someone else’s matters, and something sensitive at that . Unnecessary interest can ruin relationships . Violet will know what is going on .

‘He has sense . ’

Weapon Master did not say it . He could tell that Park Jin Hyuk and Cha Jun Sung are doing something on their PDAs, but he pretended he did not see it .

They have manners . Regardless, he found the culprit thanks to them . He does not want to be seen as strange, so he needs to wrap it up well .

“It is something related to the family . Since you’ve solved something we’ve been stuck on, I’ll be repaying you shortly . I will be going first as I have something to do . ”

Weapon Master left the conference room . It was a bit lukewarm . The rankers followed suit and started leaving one by one .

As the rankers were leaving, they each introduced themselves to Cha Jun Sung to get acquainted . Since he had seen quite a number of them in the virtual, it was not awkward .

The conference room becomes quiet . There is just Strategist left in the room .

“The world federation will handle the cumbersome issues . Overload, you can just go on with your daily life until the advance mission . ”

“You said that it’s in 6 months?”

“If there is any change, it would be sooner but not later than that . ”

The rankers are ready to advance, but it will take some time to fill the force with battlesuit owners . If they are just filling up the force, it will only take 1 or 2 months .

But it is better to leave a lot of time for everything, so they need to arm hundreds to 1000 people . That way, they can fill the empty spaces of rankers . No one can tell if something liek what happened today will happen again .

“So have you decided to leave Blood Kingdom alone?”

“I’m furious as well, but it’s premature . Even without us, they will not be able to act properly for the time being . ”

The enemy saw a large amount of damage as well . The cadres all slipped out, but elite level C Lifers were killed . The biggest problem is separate .

“Blood King abandoned his allies . I don’t know how much camaraderie there is between murderers, but he will need time to calm them down after abandoning them like waste . ”

The world federation and Blood Kingdom both unintentionally came to find time to take for themselves . And Cha Jun Sung took the card that made the 2 forces come to heads in the first place .

“I’ll be going as well now . The conference room will be empty, so you can rest before you leave . ”

Strategist left the conference room as well . Cha Jun Sung’s group are the only ones left now .

“It feels like a storm has passed by . ”

“It was a bit crazy . ”

“Oh right . Violet . Weapon Master? Does he have a little brother?”

Park Jin Hyuk could not hold back his curiosity and asked .

“His youngest sibling is a little brother, but he died . It’s been about 2 years . A yahoo named Carlyle Venter . I think he went into a mission and never made it out . ”

Park Jin Hyuk’s eyes widened and exchanged looks with Cha Jun Sung .

He is showing that he was right . Blood King has found a new enemy .

“Is he an enemy anyway?”

Their forces are confronting each other, so there is no meaning in talking about personal grudges .

“Why?”

“We’ll explain on the way . ”

Cha Jun Sung got up from his comfortable chair . They cannot stay here all day and they need to go back to zone A .
