Chapter 44.5

“Eating this makes my body feel like flying. 30 years feels younger. I think your mom would like it too.”

“It can’t be. In fact, he wouldn’t even have informed his father about the existence of the Elixir if he

hadn’t forgotten that his father had taken the elixir, or that he had gone into the dungeon.”

“Well, there are a lot of people who know about it, so there’s nothing good about it.”

Choi Hyung-gyu meekly accepted Hyunseong’s words.

It’s not because it’s a pity, it’s because they’re concerned about a situation in which the secret could

leak and become dangerous.

“Go home tomorrow.”

“Don’t do that. When can I enter the dungeon? Shall we go tomorrow?”

Choi Hyung-gyu was full of enthusiasm.

“First, complete the player academy.”

At Hyunseong’s words, Hyungkyu Choi’s face turned slightly red.

“I was ahead of my mind. I forgot.”

A faint smile formed on Hyunseong’s lips when he saw the shy Choi Hyung-gyu.

The Japanese government reported Tanaka’s death as a suicide.

The Japanese people believed that Minister Tanaka took his own life out of the burden of failing to

properly handle the Kyushu crisis.

Because the media reports have driven public opinion in that direction.

When the biggest person in charge took his own life, the people’s opposition to the government also

subsided slightly.

But that was only an external announcement.

Currently, the Japanese government is in a state of shock over the assassination of Minister Tanaka.

“It’s definitely the work of a player with hero-grade stealth skills.”

Prime Minister Akunabe’s expression hardened at the investigator’s report.

“What is the identity of the culprit?”

“I haven’t figured it out yet.”

“How many players in Japan have hero-grade stealth skills?”

“We don’t know exactly because players are reluctant to reveal their skills.”

Whoops!

Prime Minister Akunabe clenched his teeth.

“How dare a player baboon kill a high-ranking government official.”

This was like a challenge to public authority.

The deceased Minister Tanaka was Prime Minister Akunabe’s.

Of course, he was due to be overthrown by blaming the Kyushu crisis sooner or later.

However, his direct dismissal and his assassination by an unknown player were different.

The minister was killed by disguising himself as a suicide. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

This meant that other high-ranking officials could also be killed at any time.

There is no law that says the person who killed the minister decisively should not target the prime

minister.

“Threefold the vigilance.”

“Yes!”

Prime Minister Akunabe’s head, who ordered the strengthening of the vigilance, turned violently.

Why the hell did the player get rid of Secretary Tanaka and his closest aides?

It is by no means a simple assassination.

It was an act for political gain.

‘Did you think I might not fire Minister Tanaka?’

It might be.

‘The opposition parties are making a lot of noise.’

Opposition parties were fiercely protesting that Tanaka’s suicide could not cover the incompetence of

the Akunabe government.

In fact, the opposition party did not have a significant presence in Japanese politics.

However, with the Kyushu crisis as an opportunity, his presence was gradually growing.

‘Is this what the opposition parties do? Or is it the work of another faction within the party?’

Prime Minister Akunabe had too many enemies.

Of course, the power of those enemies was quite insignificant.

‘I don’t know who did it, but I’m sure it’s one of them.’

Prime Minister Akunabe’s eyes were stained with dark flesh.

‘I won’t let it go.’

Don’t know who the enemy is?

Then wipe it all away.

“Who is currently in charge of the secret agents?”

Prime Minister Akunabe asked his secretary.

“All of the superiors have died, so now Inukuso will be temporarily in charge.”“Are you talking about

Osaka’s hero?”

“Yes that’s right.”

You can trust Inukuso.

Because he was Minister Tanaka’s right-hand man and a player belonging to his own faction.

He’s probably feeling strong anger at the assassination of his boss.

He was, as such, the most qualified person to carry out this task.

“Call him secretly. I have something to direct you.”

“all right.”

Hyunseong returned to her normal daily life again.

Hyunseong and Lucia went around the dungeon and increased their titles one by one.

My father entered the Player Academy, and Baek Woo-shin diligently increased his titles.

One day when I was living my normal life, I got a call from Inukuso.

– Master, this is Inukuso.

“What’s going on?”

Hyunseong asked Inukuso.

Hyunseong did not specifically assign additional duties to Inukuso.

From Inukuso’s point of view, it’s enough to enjoy freedom until Hyunseong’s instructions come down.

He wouldn’t need to contact Hyunseong in the first place.

-Meet Prime Minister Akunabe.

“what brings you here?”

In response to Hyunseong’s question, Inukuso met Prime Minister Akunabe and began to explain the

instructions he had heard.

Hearing Inukuso’s story, Hyunseong was stunned.

Prime Minister Akunabe properly crossed his legs.

Prime Minister Akunabe said Inukuso had been tasked with fabricating allegations of corruption by

hostile factions within the party and opposition parties.

-Finally, we plan to disguise suicide and eliminate it.

It was Prime Minister Akunabe’s will to return what he received.

“Did you entrust it to you?”

-Yes, of the players currently in Prime Minister Akunabe’s faction, I have the most trust.

Hyunseong was amazing.

It was Inukuso who assassinated Minister Tanaka and his closest aides.

But to entrust such Inukuso to retaliation for the assassination of Minister Tanaka.

“You seem to have quite a bit of trust.”

– It’s like that. The reason I have been appointed to lead the operation to kidnap my master is because

government officials do not trust other secret agents.

“That’s right.”

From Hyunseong’s point of view, it was the moment when a hand picked by chance was transformed

into the best hand.

Of course, from the standpoint of hostile factions and opposition parties within the party that have

nothing to do with the assassination of Minister Tanaka, it would be crazy and pounding.

Because their lives will be blown away in retaliation for something they didn’t do.

But that wasn’t Hyunseong’s concern.

– How will you act?

Hyunseong pondered for a moment at Inukuso’s question.

There is a way to spread this fact to hostile factions and opposition parties within the party, and another

way is to build trust by thoroughly following Prime Minister Akunabe’s instructions.

“First, build trust by following Prime Minister Akunabe’s instructions. If possible, increase your power in

the Players Association or the Dimensional Gate Management Department.”

– All right, Master.

“Oh, and have you been to America well?”

– We went safely. Thanks to the medicine the master gave me, my daughter was cured. I sincerely

thank you for your great grace.

“Is she planning to bring her daughter to Japan?”

-no. I plan to continue living in the United States with my wife in the future.

It was a good choice.

What Inukuso did was never safe.

If only the truth about the assassination of Minister Tanaka is revealed right now, he will face a major

crisis.

There was nothing good to know about the fact that Inukuso’s daughter had suddenly recovered.

“It would be better to hide the fact that her daughter is cured.”

– I intend to do that. For now, to avoid suspicion, we plan to continue to remit large amounts of

treatment costs as before.

“Let me do that.”

It wasn’t a bad idea, just in case Inukuso went wrong.

Hyunseong had no intention of taking away the money that Inukuso had earned through hard work.

“And there is no need to contact me unless there is a major incident that could affect me or Korea in

the future. Everything is arbitrarily judged and moved.”

– I will.

With those words, the call with Inukuso ended.

‘I don’t have to worry too much about it.’

It was not for Hyunseong to care about how Japan’s political world was going.

Although he gave Inukuso instructions to increase his power, he didn’t expect much.

He just said so, thinking that he must have some authority to be convenient to use in case of

emergency.

However, there was one thing Hyunseong overlooked.

The point was that Inukuso was a very talented person.

It was not for nothing that Minister Tanaka and Prime Minister Akunabe trusted Inukuso for nothing.

Inukuso was a master of the arts, who knew better than anyone how to be trusted by his superiors and

how to be supported by his subordinates.

Then, following Hyunseong’s instructions, he began to move to increase his power in earnest.
