I Became a Genius Mage in the Cthulhu Game Chapter 112

Episode 112

Episode 112: Tiger’s Den (2)

‘What kind of situation is this?’

Cheong-ho is not there, and Cheong-ho’s daughter Hyuna is sitting in the place where Cheong-ho should be, taking on Cheong-ho’s role.

Hyuna is not the only one in this room. However, that doesn’t mean that many people gathered there.

Although it is called a conference room, it is actually a room used by Cheongho to hold important confidential conversations with executives.

Therefore, only Cheongho’s closest associates can enter this room.

‘It looks like all the humans that can come in have come in.’

For a moment, I looked around at the seven middle-aged heads sitting around this spacious conference room.

A total of 17 eyes are watching me, including those of Chae Taewon and Jeong Hyeonah.

Oh, the reason he lacks one eye is because one of the executives is wearing a black eyepatch.

Anyway, it seems like everyone is waiting for my answer. But what are you going to do with me?

One by one from the left, distrust, suspicion, and dissatisfaction; in the middle, the man wearing an eye patch shows anger, embarrassment, and anxiety; and at the end, an unlucky smile.

‘What are you splitting into pieces like that?’

I turned my head and glanced at the face of Chae Tae-won, the eighth executive of the Cheongho faction. His face shows complex emotions that are difficult to describe in one word. Anyway, I think the biggest emotion I see on his face is that he feels sorry for me.

‘Okay for now. Honestly, I don’t know much about the situation, so I’ll have to poke around.’

I felt a bit of the same feeling I felt when I first encountered this game. A situation you have never seen before, an event you have never experienced before.

I looked at Jeong Hyeon-ah again.

It is an attitude of trying to be confident.

It seems like he is straining his eyes to somehow make eye contact with me, but it is impossible to make eye contact with my four-eyed mask.

An unstable gaze, constantly twitching fingertips, and a pale complexion. You seem extremely nervous.

“Do you want help?”

“yes. Become one of us and fight. I will give you the book you mentioned later. And we will pay you as much compensation as you wish.”

ah.

Is it ultimately an uninteresting development within the expected range?

“Well, I’ve heard various rumors about the Triad these days. “It looks like an all-out war with the Red Head has finally begun?”

“Yes, that’s right. Loyalty with the Chairman… … .”

Jeong Hyeon-ah blurted out her words. No one in particular cut her, and no one stopped her. It seems like he’s just not used to saying those words correctly.

But, stay loyal?

Well, it’s true that Cheongho and I are solid allies, but how are we supposed to maintain our loyalty when we’re not some 50’s wild guys?

“miss. Are you sure you have the book I was supposed to receive? “Have you ever seen that book?”

“Dad! No, Chairman… … .”

Finally, the word “father” came out of Hyuna’s mouth. Hyuna must have realized this as well, so she stopped what she was saying and bit her lower lip.

‘I’m in no condition to have a long conversation.’

An awkward attitude, as if he was forced to wear clothes that don’t fit.

She should have a background as a princess of the underworld, but she is still a high school student.

I’m not sure because the specific age hasn’t been mentioned in the game, but it doesn’t look like he’s in his first year, so maybe he’s in his second year of high school?

Such a girl is handling tasks that are difficult for even adults to handle.

Why on earth did a little boy, less than a third of the age of those guys, come forward instead of the guys gathered here?

“Where is the chairman? “It looks like you’re not in this building.”

“Well, how do you do that?”

In fact, before entering the conference room, we had already confirmed that there was no Cheongho’s magic power in the mansion.

Besides, honestly, it’s stupid not to know.

“You can roughly understand that just by looking at this situation.”

Hyuna, whose face was red with anger and shame, mumbled in a low voice.

“Dad, Dad is because of you…” … .”

“Ego! “This isn’t going to work.”

Suddenly, one of the executives intervenes. It’s an oily voice that gives off a subtle sense of discomfort just by hearing it.

Among the seven executives excluding Chae Tae-won, he was the one sitting on the far right with an unlucky smile on his face.

‘That guy… … ?’

“It seems there was a misunderstanding one way or another. “This is our lady’s first time doing this type of work.”

Then he looked towards Jeong Hyeon-ah.

It is a very natural movement. All eyes in the hall were focused on Jeong Hyun-ah, and she lowered her head with a dejected expression.

“-You seem a little nervous. We ask for your understanding. “I will speak on your behalf.”

At first glance, he’s pretending to step up for Jung Hyun-ah, but no one would think that when they see him.

This is just a modification.

‘How are you? ‘Are they going to rearrange their ranks so openly at a time like this?’

That man’s name is Gu Jin-cheol.

This is the same guy who had been provoking me with an openly unlucky smile earlier.

“As you know, we are in a very turbulent situation both inside and outside these days. There are a lot of changes and a lot of turmoil. We would like to sincerely apologize for any mistake we may have made.”

“… … .”

I turned my head for a moment and looked at Chae Taewon. Chae Taewon bowed his head to me with a sad expression.

‘Write… … It’s a bit strange. It’s a development that doesn’t fit that guy’s personality.’

“We don’t know what kind of book the Chairman promised, but we are certain that there was some mistake. “I don’t know if this is really our fault.”

“Is it wrong?”

“Well, didn’t you say you contacted me because you received a message in the first place?”

“Are you talking about the message you received through Vasilisa?”

“Yes, that, that. “That’s not what we sent.”

“ah.”

This is kind of fun.

Who spent 200 million won to send a fake message?

“But when we received a call from a problem solver who said he would come visit us, we had a lot of concerns. Isn’t the problem solver a very promising and famous person? “There were people within us who was hasty and thought it was an opportunity.”

At the same time, Gu Jin-cheol looked at several executives. The executives who received Gu Jin-cheol’s gaze looked a little aggrieved, but did not react further than that.

“But please know that our hearts are sincere. Anyway, as I said before, this is a situation where busy people have gathered. So let’s conclude quickly. I guess we can no longer give you the book you wanted? However, we can fully compensate you. “Could you please help us?”

No fool would understand that to really mean asking for help.

Gu Jin-cheol is now telling me not to bother people who are busy and to get out of the way right away.

“iced coffee. “I guess I get it roughly.”

Now I clearly understand what happened between them.

It’s definitely thanks to Koo Jin-cheol for putting on that vulgar show.

“-The person I was supposed to receive the book from was the Chairman, so there is no need for you to fulfill that duty.”

In addition, he cannot use the rights he has instead.

“then?”

A word from Koo Jin-cheol that sticks to you like a stick. Uncle, have you ever heard of a person who was beaten for saying one more word for no reason?

‘Please come in more. ‘Really hit me.’

I said, hoping Gu Jin-cheol would go deeper.

“I am currently under contract with Vasilisa, so if you have any requests, I would like you to formally consult with me through Vasilisa.”

I said that and stood up.

“Shinhwa… … !”

Chae Taewon took a step forward and opened his mouth. I looked at Chae Tae-won’s face for a moment, and then I looked at Gu Jin-cheol’s face again.

He is still smiling mischievously.

He looks like he’s thinking, ‘Ahh, the plan worked!’ So, you kept provoking me because you wanted me to get so angry and leave?

That man is a character who was originally set up to betray Cheongho. Still, you’re doing it a little too blatantly.

Grumble!

“Wait!”

This is what Jeong Hyun-ah shouted as she stood up from her seat.

But Jeong Hyeon-ah couldn’t say more.

“miss! “Stop it now!”

This is because Gu Jin-cheol intervened and blocked her.

“Anything more than this is nothing but disgrace. These accidents and misunderstandings are already enough. For the sake of the chairman’s honor, we must not go any further. Moreover, while Hansi is busy, aren’t so many executives wasting their time!”

Now, Koo Jin-cheol is openly criticizing him.

“That’s right!”

Another executive intervened.

The reaction was enthusiastic, as if they had been waiting for this moment.

“Am I right? “In the end, we wasted our time for no reason!”

Before I could say anything, another executive spoke up.

“Miss, do you really think you can trust that suspicious wizard?”

Even if we overlook the fact that inappropriate words were used, their tone of speech was extremely rude. Just looking at the way he speaks, his voice is so harsh that one might think he is threatening Jeong Hyeon-ah.

Next, another executive opens his mouth. This person looks embarrassed.

“Wait, what does that mean? “Isn’t this too much now?”

“Yes, even if it’s Jeokdu, I have to ask about the Chairman! Hey, wizard! President! “Don’t you know where the chairman is?”

“No, what nonsense are you talking about to an outsider!”

“Kim Shin-hwa, who is here, is the most promising and capable problem solver right now. “Maybe there is a way.”

“Don’t be stupid! “Maybe it’s because of the author that the chairman became like that!”

“I agree with you on the point that it is extremely suspicious.”

“I don’t know what Taewon is thinking in the first place.”

“Senior, wait a minute, what did you just say? “Are you saying that’s stupid?”

“Look at what he’s wearing! “How can you believe that?”

“You say stupid things, so I call you stupid, you idiot!”

For reference, only sentences that can be remembered in completed form are mentioned.

While the seven spouts excluding Chae Taewon were spitting in all directions, ‘What!’, ‘So!’, ‘Jeokdu!’, ‘How much are we now!’, ‘Wizard!’, ‘Solutionist!’, ‘Magic!’ Book!’, ‘Chairman!’, ‘Lady!’, ‘This!’, ‘Are you stupid?’, ‘What!?’, ‘Chairman!’, ‘Find it!’ And so on… … .

Later, it actually dropped to a level where it didn’t really matter if you just replaced it with something like ‘Walwawal!’

‘Kid, what on earth are you asking me to do?’

My head hurts.

What kind of fuss is this about setting people up?

The only reason I didn’t scream out loud right away was because Jeong Hyun-ah, who was trapped in the whirlpool of bullshit, was looking at me with a dead expression.

“Kim Shinhwa… … .”

I hear Chae Taewon’s quiet voice behind me.

“sorry. “I thought there might be a problem, but I never thought it would go to this point.”

When I turned my head towards Chae Taewon, he was making an expression of as much regret, shame, and embarrassment as he could muster.

“You didn’t expect it?”

“I thought there might be a bit of a problem, but honestly, I didn’t expect it to be this disgraceful. sorry.”

Ah, this person ultimately brought me in because he believed that the executives gathered here were sincere adults. If you wanted to blame me, you could, but since you apologized so honestly, I can’t.

“Well, since you said that much, I will accept your apology. then… … .”

“Walwal walwal!”

“Kkkkkkkkkkk!”

Oh, it’s really noisy.

“I think we should all shut up.”

No matter what conversation I have with Chae Taewon or not, the seven idiots are each spewing out crude slander and bullshit.

First, let’s rescue young high school girls from the shameful behavior of these dirty adults.

[Sound wave refraction]

“?!”

Jeong Hyeon-ah raises her head in surprise. He must have been surprised because the surroundings suddenly became quiet. Wink at Hyuna, no, you can’t see it because of the mask. He raised one hand and lightly gestured to Hyuna.

‘And expand the scope.’

The range of sound wave refraction was expanded to cover the entire room. Now the sound generated here does not go outside the room.

‘If you used this level of magic, it would be noticeable, but everyone was so excited that they couldn’t even pay for the night… … .’

I sighed as I looked at the executives who were still barking at each other, then took a deep breath and activated my magic.

[Sonic shock]

“It’s so loud!!!”

Kwagwagwagwagwagwagwang!!!!
