chapter 91
90. Hwang Woo-shin, the foolish wives tower owner
– Analyzes the target’s condition.
– Currently addicted to Magi. The cause is presumed to be the use of [Dark Artifact].
As soon as I checked the information with the eyes of a sage, two people came to mind.
‘Shin Yura? Or baekseok? What kind of guy did this?’
I wouldn’t know if it was a normal dark artifact, but there weren’t many people who could commit suicide using a dark artifact with such a powerful power. This is because dark artifacts are traded at an extremely high price depending on their performance.
It’s just that it’s not an object that ordinary people can use for terrorism in an instant.
‘I’ve felt it before. Dark artifacts are being used excessively.’
Dark Artifacts allow ordinary people to use ‘magic’ in exchange for their life force. Of course, it is an artifact designated as illegal by the state.
The punishment is severe, and as proof, Baek Ju-seok, who used Meteor using a dark artifact, has not yet been able to get out of prison.
However, even in the case of the dark artifact that Joo-Won Choi recently confirmed,
Juseok Baek. Shim Ji-hyeok. And even this one unknown man.
In a short period of time, all three dark artifacts were used in an incident related to [Mask Instructor].
A situation where you can only think that someone is deliberately harassing you by using a dark artifact.
“Kang Seong-ho, president of the association. It seems that this incident is not a common incident.”
The head of the association spoke with a serious expression.
“It seems to me as well. I’m worried that it was an indiscriminate terror attack first inside the academy building where there are no people, not where there are people. It seemed as if the purpose of the terror was the academy building itself.”
Choi Joo-won talked to the head of the Hunter Association.
“President of the Association. There are people who are suspicious. By any chance, could you gather data on those related to the Magic Tower or Baekjuseok?”
“Are you talking about Baekju Seok and the Magic Tower?…Huh…”
Kang Seong-ho thought about it for a while and talked to Joo-won Choi.
“I’ll give it a try. I’ll have to contact the information guild.

The office of the head of the Buma Tower.
-Quaaang-!
“Damn it! How the hell do you handle things!”
Butama Tower Lord Hwang Woo-sin couldn’t calm down his excitement as he repeatedly hit his desk. The reason is that he is none other than the terrorist incident he recklessly carried out at the place he commissioned.
‘Damn it… How the hell are you supposed to deal with it if you end up doing something like this? Are there such things as thoughts?’
Hwang Woo-shin grinded his teeth while watching an article that was widely reported in the newspaper.
– Wallace Academy, co-founded by the Masked Instructor and the President of the Hunter Association. Terrorism from an unknown group…
The newspapers and news were already plastered with this incident. If it was a general terrorism case, it would not have been featured so much even if it became an issue, but this case was covered in all news and media simultaneously.
The reason is that a terrorist attack using ‘dark artifacts’ occurred at the academy co-founded by the head of the Hunter Association, who is receiving absolute support from the hunters and the masked instructor who has great influence online.
‘Damn it…’
As long as the Darkness Artifact was used, everyone would have known that it was not a normal terrorist incident, but a large group involved. However, at least large groups were guilds that had magic towers, Baal, Baekseok, or equivalent money or groups. There weren’t that many targets.
It was a point that I could have known without even thinking about the fact that if I was mistakenly caught that the Mage Tower was leading this terror, it would suffer a huge damage to its image.
No, it wasn’t just a matter of images. Hwang Woo-shin, the owner of the wives’ tower. Because it was a matter that would threaten his position.
-Turrure
-Turrure
Hwang Woo-sin urgently called the group he had commissioned.
-Dalkak
-Hello?
-Can you say hello now? Are you doing it because you don’t know what happened now because of what you did? Why the hell did you do that? When I gave you the Dark Artifact, you obviously told me to just delay the academy opening day. Who told you to set fire to it and do widespread terror to the people around you!
-Haa…
The man sighed over the phone and spoke.
-Look here. We are pros. If you give a request, it is a professional who achieves the client’s purpose regardless of means and methods. You gave me a commission, and we just did things our way. If you’re going to complain, you should do it when you can’t achieve your desired goal. No matter what the result was now, did you not implement the requested information properly?
Hwang Woo-sin got angry as he grabbed his back by the neck and broke his neck as if he was about to fall behind him.
-G…Are you saying that as an excuse? Aren’t you crazy? Do you think you will be safe if you are caught being involved in this case? It’s not just our magic tower dying. I mean, even you all will be hit!
Hwang Woo-shin was talking like crazy with his face dyed red. However, the man over the receiver talked rather calmly.
-There is a limit to being patient. Do it in moderation Isn’t that what you asked for? If you keep doing that, we have no choice but to report it to the Baal Guild.
-Awkwardly.
When the story of Baal came out, Hwang Woo-sin cowered.
The person Hwang Woo-sin is calling is a secret guild under Baal. Kai Salt. It is a guild that takes money and handles the dark work that the sunny side cannot do.
Kaisalt, which is also the main source of income for the Baal Guild, is building a system that kills two birds with one stone, collecting not only their weaknesses but also their money in return for solving the requests of many people in the highest ranks.
The reason Kai Salt is operating perfectly is none other than Choi Seung-hyeon, the head of the Baal Guild. If one of the customers using Kai Salt finds out about their identity or goes around saying strange things, Choi Seung-hyun will surely kill him. Kai Salt continues to be in operation because those who thought so speak in the most polite way possible and do not disclose it to the outside world.
Baal. The authority of the guild with the best swordsmen in the country was difficult to touch even in the Mage Tower.
-Z…Please calm down. First of all, I think I got excited when I said that we were in trouble. Baal’s side doesn’t want to cause trouble like this, so I’ll refrain from complaining.
-Hmm…Please be careful from now on. We are people who get paid and do what we get paid for, not your emotional dumpster.
-Okay. I’ll take note.
-Doouk
After hanging up the phone, Hwang Woo-sin bit his lip nervously and shook his leg. He would have no choice but to fret. In the current situation, when he tried to cut Kai Salt’s tail and get out, the Baal guild was worried, and he tried to poison everything, so it was clear that his head would be blown away by the Mage Tower lord.
Unable to do this or that, Hwang Woo-shin was under extreme stress.
‘What should I do?’
‘Anyway, if the people involved in Wallace Academy find out that the Mage Tower is related to this case, then really…’
There will be no turning back. In Wallace Academy, there is not only a masked instructor who is said to be the highest among domestic wizards in terms of military strength, but also the head of the Hunter Association. He may face some retaliation or punishment.
‘No. There is no need to assume the worst.’
Hwang Woo-shin, the owner of the wives’ wrestling tower, who was shaking his legs, tried to come to his senses and think positively.
‘So far, no investigation is underway. Kaisolt’s subordinates who went to the scene were instantly killed by the Dark Artifact. It might get in trouble if we start investigating the source of the Dark Artifact, but it’s not something that can be done so quickly, so there might still be plenty of time left.’
He thought hard.
‘No, if you’re lucky, you might be able to get over it without even knowing what’s behind it.’
Hwang Woo-shin was struggling to shake off his anxiety.
***
On the other hand, Kang Seong-ho, the head of the Hunter Association, is in the office.
Kang Seong-ho, the head of the Hunter Association, is the highest-ranking information guild. I called Ho Ji-chan, the guild leader of Letan.
-Head of the Hunter Association, what did you call this time?
-Hojichan, did you see the terrorist incident at Wallace Academy?
-Yes, I did. I am very sorry about this incident.
-I’m calling to talk about it. There is a dark artifact that I got from that incident. Please investigate the source of the artifact.
