The Overlord of Blood and Iron

Chapter 188

Chapter 188 . A blessing in disguise (pt . 2)

-Son!

"Yes?"

-I'm proud of you .

" . . . "

-Thank you, son . I knew that my son was amazing, but… I didn't think you would really grow up to be someone like this .

"Not at all, mother . "

Park Sun-ja couldn't get used to Kang Chul-In's almost emotionless voice .

-Don't worry about your mother . I can't be an obstacle in your way to becoming a great person, can I?

" . . . "

-Anyway, I'll go now . It's almost time to give Arshelly a snack .

Tuk!

The call ended .

That's not true, mother .

Kang Chul-In didn't agree with what Park Sun-ja had said .

Even though it was good doing these things, family was first .

Before he went to the past Kang Chul-In was a cold-blooded man who only knew to wage war, crazy in his ambition to conquer Pangaea . But now, he was different; he knew the warmth of family better than anyone .

I'll treat you better, mother .

Vowing that to himself, Kang Chul-In put his phone back into his pocket .

"Kuku!!"

Old Man Kwon laughed .

"Even though those damned bastards almost made a disaster out of things, it seems like it was a blessing in disguise!"

"Is that so?"

"I mean, the image of our company has become amazing, and the deal that we made with the government has also become successful . Oh, and that thing… what was it called? Black dragon?"

"The bone dragon . "

"Yeah, the bone dragon! We even got the corpse of that damned beast too . "

That wasn't it for Kang Chul-In, though .

Kang Chul-In had gone up by 3 levels in Pangaea World, and another 3 levels after killing the bone dragon .

"Anyway, Kwak-Jung . Make sure you prepare for a press conference . The time… maybe in 3 hours . "

"Huh?"

"I have something to say . "

"Huk…!"

Kwak-Jung was astonished, never knowing that the day would come where Kang Chul-in himself volunteered to go on TV .

"I won't take in any questions from anyone, it'll just be me speaking . Understand?"

"Hmm… Yes, milord . "

"Oh, and tell me when those idiots come back . "

"Yes . "

Ironically enough, this case could only be truly 'concluded' when Dorian and his party came back from the dungeon at Sejong University .

----------

Ka-chik!

Ka-chik! Ka-chik! Ka-chik!

Hundreds of cameras took pictures of Kang Chul-in .

But he wasn't fazed .

He just stood there .

And,

"Listen well . "

Kang Chul-in opened his mouth .

"I will consider this as a terror attempt to my country South Korea, and a blatant provocation to me, Kang Chul-in . "

These words were aimed towards Alex Rothschild and Albrecht Vilhelm who were the people behind this, and was a warning towards them .

"If you want to, you can try . From now on, I will consider you guys as enemies, and make sure that you pay the price . Whether it's in Pangaea, or on Earth . No matter what measures I need to take, I will take my revenge, and make sure that it'll be hundreds, thousands of times worse than what you did to me . "

It was a declaration of war .

Using the mass media, Kang Chul-in had just declared war on Alex Rothschild and Albrecht Vilhelm, knowing that doing this would definitely reach their ears .

"Be prepared . "

Saying that, Kang Chul-in left the press conference .

"D-Director Kang! Wait a minute!"

"W-What do you mean by that statement!?"

"How are you planning to take revenge…"

"Do you know the force that was behind this?"

Still, Kang Chul-in didn't stop walking .

This was a declaration of war towards Alex Rothschild and Albrecht Vilhelm, not some sort of meeting to satisfy the curiosity of the reporters .

---------

Kang Chul-in's press conference shook the world .

[News] Director Kang Chul-in, calls out the force behind the terror attempt!

[News] Director Kang, angered by the terror attempt… Provokes the force behind…

[News] Galaxy Corporation "will ally with the korean army, and make sure to take revenge" .

News spread throughout the world and the citizens of South Korea supported Kang Chul-in's attempt at revenge .

It made sense .

What had happened was a terror attempt on the capital of South Korea, Seoul . The Koreans right now felt like the citizens of the U . S after the 9/11 terror attack .

5 days passed .

"What the hell are these guys doing?"

Inside an office of the Galaxy Corporation, Kang Chul-In muttered .

"I-I don't know, sir . "

Kwak-Jung said, cold sweat pouring down his back .

"If they don't come back soon, I'll go myself . "

"Maybe we should wait a little while…"

"Do you think it makes sense that those guys are taking this long?"

" . . . That's true . "

All the teams that had entered dungeons had come back, with Group H as the exception .

It was strange .

Group H was the most elite group, led by the Overlord Dorian Explorer . Even though they acted like idiots, they were actually the strongest group there was .

Another day passed .

And Group H still didn't return .

"Will this be alright?"

Lee Chae-rin said, next to Kang Chul-In .

"Hmm… I don't know, but we'll have to see anyway . "

"Is that so?"

"Even though they're stupid… they're also the best there is . "

From the past, Kang Chul-In knew better than anyone the true strength and skill of Team Browser, made of Dorian Explorer, David Chrome, Sean Firefox, and John Safari .

Vroooom!

Saying that, Kang Chul-In's foot hit the accelerator of his Jaguar F type coupe .

-----------

Kang Chul-In, after entering the dungeon gate in Sejong University with Lee Chae-rin to look for Dorian and his party,

" . . . I don't know what's happening . "

Couldn't restrain himself from muttering in astonishment .

[A quest has occurred!]

A quest notification popped up .

[Epic/ Ancient Dungeon] Hall of the Lightning God

Aim: Kill the boss monster, Lightning God Indra

Reward: + 3 Levels / 10,000 Gold / 'Scroll of limit breaking'

Difficulty: Extremely Difficult (Recommended level 70~75)

Entry Limit: 7/15

-Warning: Lightning God Indra is an extremely powerful humanoid monster!

-Warning: The 'Scroll of limit breaking' will automatically be handed to the one that last hits 'Lightning God Indra' .

" . . . "

Kang Chul-In was so astonished he went speechless .

"M-Mr . Chul-In? What is it?"

Lee Chae-rin tilted her head in confusion .

"It had to be here…"

"Sorry?"

"It's nothing . "

Kang Chul-In shook his head .

As if it really is nothing… to think that this dungeon was the 'Hall of the Lightning God' . . .

It wasn't a small deal like he had said .

The important thing was that Kang Chul-In knew this dungeon extremely well .

The Hall of the Lightning God .

And Lightning God Indra .

This was a boss monster that Kang Chul-In had faced in his previous life .

And the truth behind the 'scroll of limit breaking' that was given as a reward was that it contained Kang Chul-In's special and unique move, Overdrive .

Hmph-!

Kang Chul-In involuntarily laughed .

He was thinking of a way of getting rid of this scroll so that no one could use it anyway, but he had forgotten about it due to his extremely busy schedule .

Now that he had literally been given a free pass to the dungeon he had been searching for, he laughed at Alex Rothschild and Albrecht Vilhelm .

"Mr . Chul-In . "

While Kang Chul-In was laughing at Alex Rothschild and Albrecht Vilhelm for their stupidity, Lee Chae-rin's expression turned weird .

"This is strange . "

"What is it?"

"You can see the quest message, right?"

"I can, why?"

" . . . !"

"The number of people that have entered…

"Me and Mr . Chul-In, that's two people . And there are 4 people in Team Browser . Then shouldn't there only be 6 people in total?"

"You're right . "

"But for some reason, there are 7 people that are inside this dungeon apparently . "

At Lee Chae-rin's words, Kang Chul-In's eyes also headed towards the notification .

7/15

Lee Chae-rin was right .

"Good job . It really surprises me how much you've grown in just a year . "

" . . . !"

"Good thing I saved your life . "

"Hehe… It's all thanks to Mr . Chul-In . "

"It's not because of me, but rather that you've grown as a Lord . I hope you'll keep the good work up . "

Saying that, a smile was on Kang Chul-In's face . He felt like a father watching his child grow up, becoming a good Lord .

"Still, I understand why it took so long here . This is an extremely difficult dungeon . "

Kang Chul-In started heading towards the inner part of the dungeon .

I wonder… who that other person is .

At that moment .
