Closed Beta That Only I Played

Chapter 119: Next Target (2)

I felt my face stiffen at his remarks before I knew it. But I tried to keep calm as much as possible.

He continued, “Don’t worry. I won’t tell you to return to me what I’ve given you. However, I just hope you maintain a good relationship with Daeyu in the future. Moreover, I hope that you can give Daeyu a chance to make up for the losses that we invested in you. Well, I want you to confront the Yanghwa Group and get as much as you can to contribute to Daeyu.”

After that, I talked with him about various things for a while.

In the end, what Chairman Suh wanted was simple.

Je wanted to use me to skin the Yanghwa Group of every shilling they possessed.

He also added that Chairman Jiang Chiangrin of the Yanghwa Group wanted me so desperately no matter the cost.

Chairman Suh said that even now the Yanghwa Group management was putting tremendous pressure on him to obtain information about me.

He suggested he and I use their pressure as a golden opportunity to obtain golden rings and items from them and split the profits between us.

When he was done persuading me about his offer, I looked into his eyes carefully.

The general consensus was that Daeyu’s Chairman Daeyoung Suh was not as competent as the other chairmen of Mirae, Myongjin, Daesung and Kusan.

Suh Dae-young.

In fact, he had made several fatal mistakes and put the Daeyu Group into crisis.

However, I think I know why Daeyu could still survive until today despite his repeated management failures.

So, I responded casually, “Well, I don’t know why you have thought of such an option. As you know, I’m still a member of the Daeyu Group.”

I tried to feign ignorance of his real intentions because I didn’t have to confess to him that I joined him to get as much from Daeyu as possible.

Suh said, “Haha. Of course, I know. But I just want you and me to do something beneficial for each other. I mean we should target the Yangwha Group for the sake of our mutual interests. I don’t think you have favorable feelings toward China, right?”

“No, I don’t. I really can’t like China because of the fine dust pollution coming all over from China.”

“Good. Then, can we go ahead with this project?”

In the end, it was me that he needed to deal with the Yanghwa Group.

For this purpose, he wanted to make a video of me with a Memory Bead, in which I kept Chairman Suh on tenterhooks as to whether I would reveal my real-life information to him.

I nodded because there was no reason for me to reject it.

“You made a good choice. Then, how about working together in advance to make the video? As you know, when we make a video with the Memory Bead, we have to include some eye-popping scenes that will make the Yanghwa Group crazy about you.”

Shaking my head gently to him, who spat out such things so casually, I opened my mouth.

“Well, I want you to prepare the script. I’m not good at writing.”

The process of preparing the video would inevitably include various conversations between me and him.

Of course, I have no intention of revealing the truth, but it was possible to infer various things from lies. Sometimes lies are more powerful clues than the truth.

So, I left preparing the script entirely to Chairman Suh.

Of course, he might have felt I was being petty because he had taken the initiative to reconcile with me. But I didn’t want to take what he said at face value, no matter what, because he was a cunning businessman.

“Hahaha. Alright. It is more important for the main actor to familiarize himself with the script instead of writing it himself. Then let me take care of the script. See you again sooner or later.”

“Yes, Mr. Chairman.”

So, I parted with him amicably.

Even though we talked for only 30 minutes, I felt a bit tired.

Since I had something to do, I moved straight to the Tombs of the Dead.

At the Daeyu Guild’s headquarters.

“Well. No matter how much I think about it, Asirante is really extraordinary.”

Chairman Suh always used a Memory Bead whenever he met Asirante because the latter was worth it in every way.

So, after he examined with his deputies the video that contained his face-to-face meeting with Asirante today, he concluded that Asirante was a very unusual guy.

And his impression was shared by all his deputies.

“This guy is simply too calm and composed.”

“You’re right. Moreover, he didn’t let down his guard to the end, which is enough to confirm that he was far from an ordinary man.”

Chairman Suh’s final bet failed, but he still did not give up hope of winning Asirante over to his side because Asirante was too attractive for him to give up for nothing.

Of course, he was determined to leech the Yanghwa Group which was now pressuring him to obtain every little information about Asirante.

In other words, Chairman Suh intended to catch both rabbits.

However, he let out a sigh because this rabbit named Asirante was too quick to catch.

“Anyway, let’s work out a plan to tackle the Yanghwa Group. Anyway, they only regard us as their scapegoat.”

“Yes, sir!”

“I’ll try to devise a plan immediately.”

“Well, as for Asirante, I may really have to give him up,” Suh muttered.

The meeting of the Daeyu Guild ended with Suh muttering, resigned to the harsh reality.

So Asirante was absorbed in hunting as before, while Chairman Suh was thinking hard over how to approach the Yanghwa Group to achieve his goal.

***

In S?o Paulo, Brasil.

A group of people were gathered in an old 13-story building on 11th Street in S?o Paulo.

They were intelligence peddlers called Interlagos.

Ironically, the intelligence they were dealing with at the moment was to do with ‘Revival Legend’ because one of their members had played a game called ‘Forgotten Legend’ prior to ‘Revival Legend.’ He felt it would be very fun, so he took part in the 1st and 2nd Closed Betas and achieved the max level in both. He tried hard in the 3rd Closed Beta, but he only reached level 200, far below the max of level 300.

And like those who achieved the max level in the 1st and 2nd Closed Betas, he also gained a trait as a reward. His trait was ‘Small Foresight’.

Of course, the power of his trait was confined to ‘Revival Legend’.

So, he initially looked down on his trait, complaining, ‘What the heck is this?’. But he soon found that he could make lots of money with it because there were so many people who wanted information about “Revival Legend,” which they regarded as a universal game.

Then, he went one step further, and focused the main activities of the Interlagos organization on ‘Revival Legend’ by using his trait ‘Small Foresight.’

But his trait didn’t activate frequently.

But today he received some foresight. Today was the 4th anniversary event celebrating the inauguration of Interlagos. Actually, he could not help but be embarrassed by that.

In fact, he didn’t hold any event celebrating the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd anniversary, but all of a sudden he was holding the 4th anniversary.

Moreover, he himself could not understand why he was holding the 4th anniversary event today.

[Congratulations on your entry into the fourth reality. Accordingly, a great event involving the whole world will begin.]

Entry into the fourth reality all of a sudden?

He really could not understand what was going on now.

But Interlagos moved quickly because there were special customers like the United States that paid a huge amount for even the smallest information about “Revival Legend.”
