Episode 141. A nice sound to hear
After the Boko Haram members who had chased Jason and others returned empty-handed, Dangote gathered the survivors and ordered them to retreat.
“We cannot attack the slaughterhouse openly when the enemy knows we are conducting a surprise attack. “The enemy could be ambushing you there.”
The surprise attack had already failed. In addition, there were quite a few casualties from the previous bombing.
A total of 42 people are currently dead. Considering that the Boko Haram clan’s strength was just over 200 people, the damage was definitely not small.
Given the various circumstances, retreating was the right choice now.
“Retreat!”
Boko Haram clan members returned to headquarters in a truck that was not blown up.
After finishing all the cleaning up, we dispersed, but it was past 7 o’clock, long after the sun had risen.
Kim Jin-seong took a taxi that way, went back to the hideout, washed up, and fell asleep right away.
I felt like I had fainted, and when I opened my eyes, it was around 2:50 PM.
Out of habit, I picked up my smartphone and checked it, and there was a text message.
The sender was Master Dangote.
– Dango tail. Please come to the headquarters by 6 PM. Let’s have dinner together, just the two of us.
‘It’s dinner alone… .’
Kim Jin-seong, who was pondering the words ‘just the two of us’, soon got up from the bed and leisurely prepared to leave.
I took a taxi and arrived at the headquarters at 5:45 p.m.
As soon as he got off the taxi, the guards standing guard in front of the entrance saluted him in unison.
A guard greeted Kim Jin-seong with a puzzled look in his eyes, asking, ‘Why are you suddenly saluting?’
“welcome. “The Master told me to guide you as soon as you arrive.”
Afterwards, his eyes were filled with awe as he bowed his head politely.
Kim Jin-seong entered the entrance with sparkling eyes and went straight up to the third floor where the master room was located.
Unlike yesterday, the inside of the headquarters was quite quiet as there were no people there. The three porters, Terem, Musa, and Fur, were nowhere to be seen.
But as soon as I reached the third floor, I started hearing loud noises.
bang!
“what?! “You say it again!”
Akuma’s shout was heard along with the sound of him hitting the desk in the conference room immediately visible as soon as he went up to the third floor.
“The enemy found out about my plan because I couldn’t manage my subordinates?!”
“yes. “I definitely said that.”
The voice that answered without being intimidated was Yu Xuan’s, no matter who heard it.
“Who should directly manage Boko Haram’s clan members and mercenaries? Isn’t this your assistant master, Akuma?
“Didn’t the details of the operation leak out because Akuma-sama didn’t manage it properly?”
“Even if you hadn’t openly announced your plan in the auditorium, the information wouldn’t have been passed on to the enemies! “You made the biggest mistake and now you blame me?!”
“At the time of the announcement, there was no mention of movement routes or which slaughterhouses they were attacking! The only people who know this are the six executives here and Master Dangote!”
“Then the most likely possibility is that you leaked the information! “Aren’t you the one who once worked under Slaughterhouse, and aren’t you the one who joined the company last as an executive?!”
“If you think about it that way, isn’t Akuma, who has many friends at Slaughter House, the most suspicious one?”
“How many times have I told you that I shook my hands with those bastards? Are you saying that again?!”
“Don’t you know that I ran away because I became enemies with Jason? “If it weren’t for the information I revealed, Area B18 would have already fallen into Slaughterhouse’s hands!”
“Hey, stop fighting and proceed with the meeting… .”
For the first time in a while, I heard a new voice instead of two. It was Okolo, the leader of Boko Haram’s Hunter Team 1.
However, Akuma’s shout that came right away cut him off.
“Won’t you shut up?! How dare you interrupt while the assistant master is talking?!
Well said. Why didn’t you fight alone during yesterday’s battle and stayed behind? “Aren’t you a spy?!”
“Team 1 leader was in charge of support from the rear yesterday as his injury had not yet recovered. “Have you forgotten that too?”
When Yuxuan protested on his behalf, Akuma was unable to respond for the first time.
Perhaps seeing this as an opportunity, Yuxuan attacked him.
“It seems like you are pointing anyone out as a suspect to hide the fact that you are the culprit. Please stop doing that.”
“what?! “This bastard is real!!”
Craddangtang!
“Secure it, Akuma!”
“Let go, you bastard! Won’t you let go?! you are good Why are you sitting still and not saying a word? “Aren’t you a spy?!”
Just hearing the sound made me picture the chaotic atmosphere in the conference room.
‘This is really shit.’
Jinseong Kim shook his head and continued walking towards the master room.
Soon, he stood in front of the master room guarded by two bodyguards, knocked on the door, and went inside.
“Welcome! ha ha ha!”
Dangote, who was sitting comfortably on the sofa looking at his smartphone, stood up and greeted him with a bright expression.
“How did you go home and get a good rest? “Are there any injuries or inconveniences?”
“yes. it’s okay.”
“Thank goodness. Talent who will be active in ‘our’ clan for a long time should not end up in an uncomfortable place!”
‘… we?’
“Come on, don’t talk here, let’s go out and have a drink!”
After immediately putting on his coat, Dangote put his hand on Kim Jin-seong’s shoulder and pulled him out of the master room.

The bulletproof car carrying the two soon headed to the nearby B18, the largest entertainment district.
The car stopped in front of the largest, flashiest, and most luxurious room salon building on a street with numerous neon signs twinkling.
Dangote said with a grin towards Kim Jin-seong.
“This is the best bar that Boko Haram manages. “Let’s go inside!”

Dangote got out of the car, took Kim Jin-seong into the building, and guided him into room 1, where a table had been set up in advance.
“Sit comfortably, relax.”
Dangote, who was sitting at the head table, looked at Kim Jin-seong, who was also sitting with him, and spoke.
“First of all, I want to say thank you. “Thanks to your performance yesterday, we were able to retreat with our strength preserved and without any greater damage than expected.”
Kim Jin-seong asked back with a puzzled expression when he heard the words ‘no major damage’.
“Didn’t quite a few people die yesterday?”
“No, no. None of the most important executives and key personnel died. Considering that, it’s true that there wasn’t much damage. A few dead small children can be supplied quickly. More than anything!”
Dangote suddenly raised his voice.
“It’s nothing compared to the damage Slaughterhouse suffered yesterday. Yesterday, Slaughterhouse lost almost all of its pet monsters, which were the main force of the clan!
“It’s because of none other than you!”
Jinseong Kim nodded as if he understood those words.
Clearly, the modified monsters I faced yesterday were far superior in every way to the Nature Animal Clan members.
Monsters of that level could easily be considered the main force of the clan.
“We only lost a few small men, and their main force suffered a blow that was close to annihilation. Do you know what this means?
By now, Jason, you scrap metal pig is probably so angry that he’s throwing everything he can get his hands on! Puhahaha!”
Dangote, who was smiling more cheerfully than ever, immediately picked up the bottle of alcohol on the table.
“I can’t help but have a drink on this pleasant day! “Do you know what kind of alcohol this is?”
Dangote continued his explanation to the silent Kim Jin-seong.
“’THE ABYSS’. It is said to be the highest quality liquor and the most difficult to obtain in the New World. “A bottle of this 30-year-old liquor is worth over 100 million!”
‘1 million?’
“Here, take a drink!”
After pouring each other a drink, the two toasted.
Afterwards, Jinseong Kim raised the glass to his mouth and began to slowly tilt it.
‘… ‘Something is different.’
The only alcohol I’ve ever drank in my life is the soju that CEO Cho gave me during Fight Club, so I don’t know how delicious this alcohol is.
However, it smelled good and felt very soft on the throat, so it definitely felt luxurious.
‘Seeing as they serve alcohol like this, it looks like they’re very anxious.’
When he finished drinking and was about to put down his glass, Dangote asked him a question.
“It doesn’t seem like it’s been that long since I came to this continent. “I see you haven’t tried Abyss, the most famous drink here.”
While saying that, Dangote is watching the change in Kim Jin-seong’s expression with sharp eyes.
Jinseong Kim felt his eyes and answered honestly.
“It hasn’t even been a month since I came in.”
“also!”
Dangote’s eyes flashed for a moment and then disappeared as he shouted that it was right.
‘If you’re a newbie who doesn’t know much about this continent yet, I might be able to make you my subordinate if I persuade you well!’
Dangote, thinking to himself, poured a drink into Kim Jin-seong’s empty glass and continued to ask questions.
“What did you do before coming to this continent?”
“… “I used to work as a mercenary.”
Dangote dug in once more in response to Kim Jin-seong’s roundabout answer.
“Where do you belong? Isn’t it difficult for mercenaries to make a living alone these days? Most of them formed unions and worked as a group… ?”
Jinseong Kim thought about those words for a moment.
How should I cover it?
But Dangote seemed to have interpreted his silence differently.
“Oh, you don’t have to answer! Anyway, once you come to the New World, the past doesn’t matter! The only thing that matters is the skills you have. “You know that too, right?”
“… … .”
“Here, take another drink!”
Dangote clinks the glasses again and empties the drink in one go.
“Big~! Then, have you ever belonged to any clan? “As far as I know, hunters who dislike the clan’s unique hierarchical atmosphere mainly work as mercenaries.”
“Yes, there is none.”
“hmm… “You don’t have any acquaintances or blood relatives in the New World?”
“yes.”
Actually, if you really want to ask, there is one, but I just pretended it wasn’t there.
At his answer, Dangote was internally happy again.
‘It’s a typical case of heading to bare ground. It’s easier to trick me this way!’
As of today, I had my subordinates conduct an investigation into Arlovski at an intelligence company frequently used by Boko Haram.
However, all I heard was that no records existed.
According to the information company, there is no record of him as if he had fallen from the sky.
At the same time, I also said this.
– There are only two cases like this. Either the records were laundered in the meantime, or they have recently arrived in the New World.
So, I asked leading questions over drinks like I did now, and Arlovski answered more honestly than I expected.
“Just ask me one question.”
Soon Dangote got to the point.
“How much longer do you plan to work for the Boko Haram clan?”
Jinseong Kim thought about those words for a moment.
This is because we cannot honestly say, ‘Until the two clans, Slaughterhouse and Boko Haram, are completely destroyed.’
“… I do not know. “About a month at most?”
After thinking for a moment, Kim Jin-seong answered, Dangote raised his glass and took a one-shot.
Afterwards, he opened his mouth in a serious voice.
“I’ll be honest. “Would you like to work with me for just three months?”
“… … .”
Dangote continued speaking to Kim Jin-seong, who did not respond.
“In return, I will treat you well. At least at the executive level or higher.”
Kim Jin-seong smiled inwardly at those words.
The word ‘executive level’ came out of Dangote’s mouth, something I was glad to hear.
