Episode 154. CENTER
“Wow!!”
“W-what?!”
Clan members from both sides who were waiting anxiously outside the warehouse looked at them in surprise.
The huge explosion that erupted in the warehouse not only blew up the warehouse where powerful protection magic was activated, but also covered the clan members standing nearby.
“Wow, Mr.! I almost burned to death… !”
“Is no one hurt?”
“Luckily everyone is safe!”
Fortunately, no one was hurt because everyone reflexively stepped back. Despite their name, they were hunters active in the New World, so they all had excellent reflexes.
“But what happened?”
“Are the executives inside okay?”
“An explosion of this magnitude would have been dangerous even for executives… .”
The clan members looked inside the warehouse covered in explosion fog while saying worried words one by one.
Soon the fog cleared and everyone could see the details of the situation.
First, there were two men standing in the center.
It was Kim Jin-seong and Ricardo.
“You crazy bastard… !”
Ricardo said to himself with an angry face as he looked down at the pieces of machinery that had been Jason’s body.
“I told you to duel, but you set it to self-destruct after death?”
This is no different from openly declaring that he cannot die alone.
If Ricardo had been a little late in forming a protective shield around Jason’s body, Jason’s final goal might have been successful.
“By the way, it’s amazing.”
Ricardo said, looking back at Jinseong Kim right next to him.
“To think first of all about protecting your colleagues with your whole body… . Dangote got a good guy, yeah.”
Kim Jin-seong, who only smiled without saying a word, stood exactly in the position blocking the Boko Haram executives.
Just before the explosion, Kim Jin-seong actually took a position to protect Boko Haram executives with his whole body instead of creating a shield.
‘Maybe even without Ricardo’s help, I would have survived without damage because of the Curtain of Protection.’
Kim Jin-seong believed in the veil of protection and deliberately acted to impress Ricardo.
The results were a little different from what I expected, but in any case, I succeeded in making a good impression on Ricardo.
“ruler! This is the end of the duel! “I will announce the results now!”
Soon Ricardo shouted in a loud voice so that all the clan members outside the warehouse could hear.
“Originally, Pablo, a fellow observer, should also declare it… . Since he is away due to personal reasons, I have no choice but to make the announcement alone.”
Ricardo glanced at the empty chair where Pablo was sitting.
He knew. The fact that Pablo, who left the warehouse to go to the bathroom, secretly watched the final battle from outside and left immediately after Jason was killed without even looking back.
During the last battle, Jason’s mana missiles had created many holes throughout the warehouse, so it wouldn’t have been that difficult to sneak a look from outside.
Soon Ricardo declared to everyone.
“With a total score of 4 to 1, I declare that the Boko Haram clan has won!”
“Wow!”
The Boko Haram clan members all cheered, while the Slaughterhouse clan members held their heads in despair.
“With this, we will maintain the areas currently occupied by both clans. And from then on, battles between both clans are completely prohibited. “Keep that in mind!”
“yes!”
Dangote’s expression was brighter than ever as he answered loudly.
‘No fighting, no problem! Because Slaughterhouse without Jason and Isaac can no longer be considered a clan.’
Due to this duel, Slaughterhouse lost all of its executives who could maintain its center.
Naturally, the Slaughter clan members who lost their leader will begin to split, and there is a high probability that they will be divided into smaller clans with different names than Slaughter House.
‘If I just prey on those divided clans, the B17 area will eventually fall into my hands! Hehehe… !’
Ricardo clearly gave instructions not to fight only the ‘Slaughterhouse’ clan. Then, it is like saying that there is no problem in fighting with small clans that have split and changed their names.
Dangote planned to take advantage of that blind spot.
‘Then they quickly eat up the B16 area, which has no owner yet. Then we can establish ourselves as a bigger and more powerful clan than anyone else in the east of Area B!’
Dangote’s gaze, recalling a hopeful future, was fixed on Kim Jin-seong, who was standing next to Ricardo.
With loyal subordinates with such outstanding skills, it was not impossible to take control of not only the eastern part of Area B, but also the entire Area B.
“Did you say Arlovski?”
At that time, the sound of Ricardo calling Jinseong Kim reached Dangote’s ears.
“yes.”
“I see your skills are good. Honestly, I was surprised. I didn’t know they would catch Jason so easily, not even the other guy. Still, he was once a member of the Triunfo Clan… .”
Ricardo, who was impressed, soon made a suggestion to Jinseong Kim.
“Are you planning on following me into the Triunfo Clan?”
“… … !”
“… … !!”
Kim Jin-seong and Dangote’s eyes widened at the same time.
But their thoughts were completely different.
‘I was waiting for you to say that.’
Kim Jin-seong was feeling happy inside,
‘no… !’
Dangote, who was on the verge of losing his best subordinate, broke down in tears out of despair.
* * *
Jinseong Kim agreed right away without thinking for long.
He had two reasons for joining Boko Haram. He ascends to an executive position and causes the two clans to clash, ultimately destroying them.

The other thing is to eventually join the Triunfo Clan due to outstanding performance.
Since the second goal of these was achieved, there was no reason for Kim Jin-seong to refuse.
‘Originally, I was planning to weaken Triunpo’s power by slowly taking over the subcontracting clans in Area B, but I changed my mind after coming in.’
After joining the Boko Haram clan and becoming active in all aspects, Kim Jin-seong was able to realize one thing.
The fact that you are much stronger than you think. In other words, at the very least, you definitely don’t have the skills to stay in Area B.
‘After going through the executive duel today, I know for sure. Even if I go into Triunpo and play an active role, I will be noticeable enough.’
As long as he has the ability to grow by preying on villains, he will be able to kill talented people within the major clan called Triunfora and grow quickly enough to occupy an executive position.
‘If it’s a major clan, wouldn’t it have much better abilities than what we got today? Then you will get stronger much faster.’
What I realized again from today’s battle is that I can grow faster if I fight against strong guys and win.
Even during the Colosseum Survival, if you took out strong players such as Kang Min-hyuk, Seol Daun, and Shin Woong, who were difficult enemies, didn’t you receive a great reward that made Kim Jin-seong that much stronger?
Considering that I had only acquired the best abilities since entering the New Continent today, it was certain that I would quickly become stronger to an unbelievable level when I entered Triunpo.
‘Let’s become the best on this continent. To the point where it cannot be ignored even if the entire Daehan Clan attacks.’
Making a promise in his mind, Kim Jin-seong took a step forward and followed behind Ricardo.
Boko Haram executives and clan members saw off Kim Jin-seong for the last time as he headed to his limousine.
Everyone didn’t look so good. We have lost the so-called ‘warrior sent down from heaven’ who defeated Slaughterhouse almost single-handedly and started Boko Haram… .
Dangote’s expression was especially worth seeing.
His expression was so dark with despair, depression, and loss that it seemed like he would burst into tears if you even touched him.
However, in the midst of all this, there was only one person with a bright expression.
“Goodbye! Go and spread the name of Boko Haram through your great work! You can rise to a higher position! ha ha ha… !”
Yu Xuan shakes Kim Jin-seong’s hand and even laughs out loud.
In fact, it was the best outcome for him.
While Akuma, his fateful rival, was dead, even Kim Jin-seong, who had threatened his position, left Boko Haram.
Kim Jin-seong chuckled inwardly as he looked at Yu Xuan, who couldn’t hide his happy feelings.
‘This kind of narrow-minded bastard is second in command…’ . Boko Haram’s future is not bright.’
What’s even more unfortunate is that there are no executives with similar skills that can threaten Yuxuan anymore.
Team leader 1, who was evaluated to be at a similar level, was discovered as a spy by Kim Jin-seong and died.
“Get on board!”
Hearing Ricardo’s voice, Kim Jin-seong waved to his companions one last time and then got into the limousine.
Soon the limousine began to move away from the potion factory at high speed.
* * *
The Triunfo Clan headquarters was located in the center area, or C area, the most central area within Selepo City.
In other words, Kim Jin-seong entered the very center of the city from District B, the outermost area, at once.
‘… The scenery you see is on a completely different level.’
After entering Area C, Jinseong Kim thought to himself as he looked at the scenery outside.
There was nothing that was not up-to-date and cutting-edge, including buildings, street trees, and roads. It felt like I was in a futuristic city.
‘And were there originally this many paladins…? ?’
Paladins, which were difficult to see in Area B, were seen everywhere in Area C.
At this rate, it seemed unlikely that any crime would occur.
‘Even if only 1/10th of the Paladins here are brought to Area B, the level of security will be completely different… .’
“… huh? what?”
At that time, Ricardo, who was sitting next to me, must have spotted someone outside the window.
He immediately stopped the car, rolled down the window, and called a pedestrian walking by to stop him.
“Rodrigo! “Where are you going alone?”
“uh? what!”
The man named Rodrigo held Ricardo’s hand with a happy expression.
“I’m on my way to headquarters. Team leader 6 too?”
“yes. I went there for a while because I had some work to do outside. Do you want to ride?”
“Okay, that’s enough. It’s right in front. But who is next to you? “It’s my first time seeing this face.”
Ricardo answered Rodrigo’s question, pointing to Kim Jin-seong.
“He will be the youngest member of our team. Say hello. “This is Rodrigo, the leader of Team 5.”
“hello!”
Rodrigo looked at Kim Jin-seong, who greeted him politely, with surprised eyes.
“You’re the youngest? “Isn’t it really a long time since we brought in the youngest member of Team 6?”
“Did you… ?”
“It must have been several months. “Are your criteria for selecting team members usually strict?”
“ha ha ha… .”
Rodrigo continued while looking at Kim Jin-seong closely.
“Then I guess we should have a ‘maknae showdown’ now? “Until now, only Team 6 couldn’t do it because they didn’t have the youngest.”
“Oh. It was like that, right? “I am always welcome.”
Jinseong Kim, who was listening to the conversation between the two, made a puzzled expression.
Youngest contestant? What is that?
