Episode 233. That’s not the last floor.
“Are you sure?”
“uh. “I’m shaking hands with Yoo Jun-ho and having a conversation right now.”
As Park Do-jun answered in a confident tone, Kim Jin-seong’s expression became slightly serious.
“… “I made sure to prepare for one thing.”
Kim Jin-seong soon had no choice but to admit it.
Even though there is a possibility that he may be the one with the surveillance skill, he is bold enough to attend the meeting in person.
“Isn’t this enough to mean that it doesn’t matter if you are affected by the surveillance skill?”
Kim Jin-seong shook his head in response to Park Do-jun’s question.
“No, he must be confident that he could never have been caught by surveillance skills or something like that.
This is especially true when you think about Hemingston’s actual personality.”
“hmm… .”
Park Do-jun could not think of anything to refute Kim Jin-seong’s words.
Of course, the reason Hemmingston followed me here was not important.
It is important that Hemmingston is here now.
“It is true that this has made it more difficult for us. “Rather than the problem of the opponent being the strongest man on Earth in name and reality, not knowing what kind of ability he has is bigger.”
Kim Jin-seong silently expressed positivity in response to Park Do-jun’s words.
Hemingston is one of the few among the top rankers whose unique abilities have not yet been revealed.
The pressure of the four letters ‘Hemmingston’ is already considerable, and the hidden card called unique ability is also hidden.
From Kim Jin-seong’s point of view, he was not an unpleasant person.

“Thank you so much for joining us here, Mr. Hemingston.”
At that time, as Park Do-jun said, Yoo Jun-ho was shaking Hemmingston’s hand in a very polite manner.
“I was really surprised when the Duke first told me that Hemmingston would be here.”
As he continued speaking, Yoo Jun-ho turned his head to the side.
Duke, the second-in-command of the Alpha Clan, was standing there with an expressionless face.
“I thought you would never come because you felt pressured that you might have been caught by the surveillance skill… .”
“I?”
Hemmingston laughed and asked a question.
“Is it possible that the Hemingston of the world could be caught up in surveillance skills?”
“ah! Sure. Of course not. ha ha ha… !”
Yoo Jun-ho did not dare to deny Hemmingston’s confident remarks and had no choice but to laugh them off.
Even if it is subject to surveillance skills, it is an entity that cannot be openly suspected. He is Hemingston, the strongest man on Earth.
“Anyway, is there a reason to hold a meeting in such a low-level demon dungeon?”
He asked Junho Yoo a question.
If you’re going to secretly hold a meeting in another dimension, wouldn’t it be better to hold it in a higher level dimension where it’s less easy to get caught?
… It was a question with an implied meaning.
Junho Yoo understood right away and answered.
“We initially planned to proceed in a more difficult-to-discover dimension, but we recently changed course.
“In case of an unexpected situation, it is easier to prepare than to keep it secret.”
“Bangbira… .”
“The higher the dimension, the more difficult it becomes to return to Earth if the coordinates are slightly off, right? And Kim Jin-seong, who ate Graham, is capable of twisting dimensions.
We took into account the fact that if we do something wrong, a catastrophe could occur in which all the people attending this meeting become lost.
And above all.”
Junho Yoo looked straight at Hemmingston and continued speaking.
“Isn’t Hemingston, the greatest hunter in the world, with you? Now Kim Jin-seong is not scared at all even when ten people come around. ha ha ha!”
Yoo Jun-ho, smiling brightly, was looking at Hemingston with eyes that seemed more reassuring than ever.
He led Hemmingston to one side, who was just smiling without any reaction.
“Of course, Mr. Hemmingston, we have thoroughly prepared our terror defenses to the point where there is no need for you to do anything. Once you come here… .”
Junho Yoo took Hemmingston with him and began to explain one by one the defense systems that had been prepared in advance around the cave.
And the back of him like that,
“… … .”
The Duke kept his mouth shut and continued to glare with murderous eyes.
“Duke!”
However, he couldn’t help but relax his expression when he saw Hemmingston immediately looking back at him and calling out to him.
“What are you doing there? “If you brought me here, you, as the assistant master, should escort me!”
“Ah yes.”
The Duke immediately followed behind Hemmingston at a fast pace.
Hemingston looks at him with cold eyes.
“Surely you wouldn’t reveal your personal feelings openly, even at such an important occasion, right?”
“no.”
Hemingston, who stared at the top of Duke’s head for a moment as he answered politely, soon turned and followed Yu Jun-ho.
Team leader Hong, who was nearby, stared blankly at Duke, who was also following him.
‘… There was another real reason why Hemingston came here.’
* * *
“There was a real reason Hemmingston came here.”
At that time, Park Do-jun, who was far outside the cave, spit out the same thoughts as Team Leader Hong.
“It was my role to lead Duke. “If Duke is honest about his feelings, it would be enough to openly challenge this meeting headed by Yoo Jun-ho.”

“Can’t you control your emotions that much? “Not from anywhere else, but from someone who is the vice-master of the Alpha Clan?”
In response to Kim Jin-seong’s question of disbelief, Park Do-jun nodded with a confident expression.
“Actually, Duke is not yet a suitable person to be a vice-master. However, Hemmingston simply placed Duke, who has similar genius, in the same position to keep Yoo Jun-ho in check.
In fact, Duke is famous for being raised with great care by Hemingston even within the Alpha Clan. “I don’t know anything else, but one skill is real.”
“You are investing in your future by looking only at your skills. This is it.”
“uh. “Because right now, there is a success story called Yoo Jun-ho.”
“That’s probably why he’s burning up a sense of rivalry toward Yoo Jun-ho.”
“Exactly.”
The fact that Duke openly regards Yoo Jun-ho as a rival is not even a secret. This is a widely known fact among Selepo City residents.
“There’s a reason why I told you to take advantage of their rivalry. In my view, the two of them are destined to spend their whole lives conscious of each other until they die.”
“I was already planning to use it this time.”
It was Kim Jin-seong who responded to Park Do-jun’s words in a calm tone.
“But the moment a mediator named Hemmingston got involved, that became impossible. “It’s because the arbiter is also the strongest man on Earth.”
“… Tsk.”
“But now it doesn’t matter.”
Kim Jin-seong’s voice as he continued was suddenly full of confidence.
“Yu Jun-ho’s decision to set the meeting location here, the level 5 Demon Dungeon, will ultimately end up being a fatal mistake.”
“Now then, please explain the operation in more detail. “Do you know that you haven’t explained this operation in detail to me yet?”
“Even if I explain it, you won’t understand, is that okay?”
“… what? No, what on earth is that… ?”
Kim Jin-seong chuckled as he looked at Park Do-jun who was embarrassed.
“Let’s move somewhere else for now. “Because if I explain it here, someone might hear it.”
As soon as Kim Jin-seong finished speaking, the two figures disappeared from near the cave.
He used teleportation, one of his skills.

After a while.
“Everyone is present, Deputy Master.”
Team Leader Hong approached Junho Yoo, who was sitting at the head of the table, and whispered to him.
After hearing those words, Yoo Jun-ho cleared his throat and then opened his mouth.
“We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all the ‘Second Persons’ of the major clans who took time out of their busy schedules to attend.”
Because of the mana breathed into his throat, everyone was able to hear Yoo Jun-ho clearly even though his voice was not that loud.
“First of all, I have a few things to say before the meeting begins. First of all, please give a big round of applause to the strongest man on Earth, Mr. Hemingston, who is here to make this meeting shine.”
The first to introduce Hemmingston, who was sitting next to him, was Junho Yoo.
After thunderous applause, Yoo Jun-ho spoke again.
“I didn’t know that Mr. Hemingston would come to visit us in person to ensure the safety of our meeting.
You didn’t have any other intentions, right? “If you’re here to find talent to join the Alpha Clan, it’s a bit difficult.”
“this! “You got caught.”
“ha ha ha… !”
After brightening the mood with a light joke, Yoo Jun-ho changed the topic.
“Now that Mr. Hemingston is in attendance, you don’t have to worry about safety at all.
Even if Mr. Hemingston was not there, we are fully prepared to prepare for any possible terrorist attacks by anti-government groups.
Let me tell you one thing carefully… .”
Junho Yu subtly lowered his voice.
“If something goes wrong during the meeting, we have prepared a mechanism so that reinforcements can be sent immediately from the clans currently attending.
To put it simply, a dimensional passage has been opened that connects all clan headquarters to the current conference hall.”
“oh… !”
The sight of these people bursting out in exclamation. But Yoo Jun-ho’s words were not over.
“However, if it is Kim Jin-seong, who is likely to possess the ‘dimensionalization’ ability, he may render these dimensional passages useless.
Because then, the entire cave where the meeting is currently being held could be sent to another dimension.”
“… … !”
“But don’t worry. “To prepare for any unexpected situation, the same passages have been opened in every dimension known to the Daehan Clan.”
“Oh oh!”
“Is that true?”
Yoo Jun-ho nodded to some people who were surprised and asked.
“yes. We have received permission to open dimensional passages to the polluters’ dimension, the void dimension, and all other dimensions used privately by major clans.
Even the Tower of Trials and the Demon World Dungeon have dimensional passages opened up to the final floor, the 50th floor, and to level 50, respectively.”
“her… !”
“All of those many dimensions… ?”
Some even appeared to stick their tongues in surprise.
Junho Yoo answered.
“Because this meeting is so important, we have done our best to prepare for it. “I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to all the major clans who willingly accepted all of my secret requests.”
Afterwards, thunderous applause erupted again toward Yoo Jun-ho, who bowed deeply.
“Now, in this perfectly prepared state, let’s proceed with the meeting in earnest… .”
Junho Yoo, who was about to announce the start of the meeting in a confident tone, was cut off mid-sentence.
This was because I suddenly felt the energy around me suddenly change.
‘This is definitely… !’
Not only Yoo Jun-ho, but also the people sitting at the table were feeling the same change.
“Dimension… ?”
“Dimensions are changing!”
“Could it be Kim Jin-seong’s doing?”
The atmosphere where everyone was buzzing quickly turned quiet as soon as the dimensional change ended.
‘here is… ?’
Among them, Yoo Jun-ho was looking particularly embarrassed as he looked around.
‘It’s not a dimension I know!’
It was a moment when the confident words I had shouted to the attendees of the previous meeting became meaningless.
Among the dimensions he had connected with the Earth, there was no place as pitch black as it is now.
[Middle-earth creatures who have found the edge of the demon world.]
At that time, a deep voice was heard from the front.
[I, Baal, will gladly accept your challenge.]
“… … !!”
Yoo Jun-ho’s eyes widened.
