Doyeol laughed at Sukhoon’s report.
“Now, our employee model, Junhyuk’s home invaders are related to the Americans?”
“Yes.”
“Did he lose anything?”
“We didn’t check on that.”
Doyeol nodded.
“Clinton is more envious than you imagine. Go and ask him if he still has the pendant.”
Sukhoon thought of something and nodded.
“I’ll ask him and come back,” he said.
Sukhoon went out, and Doyeol called for his executive secretary.
“They were all restrained, right?”
“Yes, all twelve members were restrained.”
“They had to be responsible for what happened to Guard Team Three, correct?”
“With over 80 percent certainty.”
Doyeol laughed hard.
“Surely, there is something about him.”
He knew it when he saw the runestones that Junhyuk was not an ordinary person. Now, he dealt with twelve armed agents! He was really something else!
“Interesting. What happened means that he is also involved. It might even be because of the last time.”
“What are you going to do?”
“He didn’t lose his pendant, but I want to find out how he will respond first.”
“OK.”
“As for Guard Team Six, tell them not to make any mistakes. They can’t handle him.”
“Yes, I will tell them.”

The interview was over, and Junhyuk was tired. He was thinking of drinking a cold beer when he was visited by Sukhoon.
The interview reporters went away, and Sukhoon waved his hand at Eunseo and walked up to him. He bowed toward Junhyuk.
“Did you lose anything during the home invasion?” He asked.
Junhyuk liked that question. He had to get rid of the pendant.
“I lost my pendant.”
Sukhoon’s eyes narrowed.
“You said you wouldn’t sell it for ten million dollars?!”
“Right.”
“Why did you not report it stolen?”
Junhyuk sighed.
“It’s a big issue now, and if I’d told them I’d lost it, it would create more problems.”
Sukhoon looked serious.
“It must be someone who knew about the existence of your pendant.”
Sukhoon patted his shoulder as if to console him.
“I will check up on it and I am grateful that you did not make a big issue out of it.”
Sukhoon left quickly, and Eunseo looked at Junhyuk.
“You behaved well.”
“Thank you for thinking so.”
She looked at her tablet.
“You’ll be paid for the special broadcast. Since you are an employee model, we worked as your management. Your fee is for a hundred thousand dollars.”
“That’s a lot.”
“And Robotics spoke to ABC and other worldwide broadcasting companies, and they also paid fees. The fifty-two companies paid a total of ten million dollars.”
“What?!”
He was really surprised and stared at her, and she fixed her glassed.
“Robotics and we received about ten times that amount,” she said.
It was an astronomical sum, and he stared at her, surprised. She continued calmly:
“It will be deposited tomorrow.”
“Thank you!”
Junhyuk had the physical strength, but he realized that he needed money to be powerful. He had spent a lot of money, but he had earned ten times that.
He felt pure joy, and Eunseo laughed at him. He looked at her, and her expression changed.
“You worked hard today. You may leave,” she said.
“Thank you.”
He left overjoyed.

Sukhoon made the report to Doyeol, and Doyeol left with his executive secretary. They are headed to a cabin in the city of Ilsan. The cabin was heavily guarded.
Doyeol passed the front entrance, which was guarded by agents. He went inside and found two people there, a man and a girl.
“Welcome.”
The man spoke fluent Korean, and Doyeol laughed.
“Can we talk for a minute?” He asked.
“Do come in.”
Doyeol walked to the living room with the man, and Jeffrey smiled.
“What’s the matter?”
Doyeol drank the tea given to him by Jeffrey’s younger sister.
“I need your help.”
“My help?”
Jeffrey sipped his tea.
“I thought my job was to get you a mana stone and a blood stone?”
“That’s right, your job was to get them from the Dimensional Battlefield, but without your help, we won’t know much about him.”
Jeffrey got curious.
“Is he a novice?”
“It looks that way. If not, wouldn’t it be difficult for him to restrain twelve trained agents?”
“That’s an Interesting friend.”
Jeffrey heard there were three surviving novices. He heard one of them became an expert, but he didn’t care. His was a high ranking power, so even if the opponent had two powers, he was confident.
It had been said that only champions could kill heroes, but he was only a novice and had already been successful at it. He used the gold to equip himself better.
More than powers, the equipment decided the victors. An expert without equipment didn’t scare him.
“Should I bring him alive?”
If he had minions with him, it would be difficult to bring him in one piece.
Doyeol shook his head.
“You don’t need to bring him in. Just check on what kind of power he has.”
“That’s not much. Where should I go?”
“I’ll get you a car.”
“Then, I’ll be waiting.”
Doyeol got up, and Jeffrey’s younger sister, Joanna asked him:
“Brother, what did you talk about?”
Jeffrey had eaten a language pill, so he could understand Korean, but Joanna didn’t understand anything. Jeffrey merely shrugged.
“There is an interesting friend, and he wants to introduce me to him.”
“OK. But when can I go back to school?”
“Soon. They are looking into it.”
It had been pleasant to talk to Doyeol. Doyeol was looking out for them and gave them quite a large sum of money. The mana stones and the blood stones could be found in a certain area of the Dimensional Battlefield. All he had to do was bring some back for a hefty amount.
He still had to risk his life at the Dimensional Battlefield, but now he could make money out of it. He could become wealthy.
It was a favor for Doyeol. It could be a novice, but Doyeol didn’t ask him to kill or capture the guy. He only had to check on his power.
It wasn’t much, and he was curious. Hundreds of thousands had already been summoned to that place, and just less than ten people had activated their powers, and there were only three surviving novices left.
One of the people had activated another power and was now an expert, but the difference was miniscule.
Jeffrey had a high ranking power and was curious about the other novices, but it was impossible for him to go looking for them.
Doyeol was bringing Jeffrey to him. All he had to do was meet him.
“I’m confident.”
He looked forward to that meeting.

The interviews came out, and the world was focused on him. He got the car he had ordered, so he no longer had to take the subway.
The car was a Volkswagen Tiguan. It was new, and he spent a lot of money to get all of the options, but it was still his first car.
If he had known his paycheck would be that high, he would have gotten a nicer car.
A man should have nice cars and watches.
After three days, the people’s responses to the broadcast were still intense. Junhyuk became famous, and so did the other people in the broadcast.
They were on TV every day. Only Junhyuk no longer had to do any advertising because he was an employee, but the others in the broadcast continued to advertise the metal models.
The world’s attention was focused on the metal models, and because of it, there were reporters around his house. The company didn’t want him to do any more interviews, and the reporters knew about ST Capsule, so they did not force their way in.
Junhyuk liked the fact that there were reporters around his house. People watching him would be spotted if they tried to break in again, so he felt content.
However, that day, when he got to his house, he didn’t see any reporters. He was curious about what had happened. When he got inside, he checked the CCTV recordings while he ate dinner.
“The reporters went away.”
The Rockefellers had the power to withdraw those reporters, and Junhyuk thought he might have an uninvited guest that day. He was sure that it would happen.
“Are they going to bring me answers?”
He had warned Thompson, so Thompson could be bringing back some answer that night. Junhyuk checked his door and trained. He didn’t want to get lazy about training, so he trained every day.
Usually, after work, he trained until 3:00 a.m. and slept for three hours and, at six o’clock, he ran at a local mountain. After running for an hour, he got home, ate his breakfast and went to work.
That day, he was training like any other day when he heard a car parking outside at 11:00 p.m.
Junhyuk checked the CCTV feeds and saw a blonde man getting out of the car.
He looked tall and had pale skin. Junhyuk wanted to hide his face regardless of who it was. Good people did not barge in before announcing themselves, unlike bad people.
He turned off the lights and summed the black armor. After a moment, the man rang the bell. The interphone showed his face, but Junhyuk did not open the door. The man rang the bell a few more times and jumped over the wall.
“Right. He doesn’t have any good intentions.”
Junhyuk sat and waited, and the man knocked at his door.
“Mr. Junhyuk Lee?”
Junhyuk ignored him, and he heard the man laughing outside.
“I don’t want to do this, but you give me no choice.”
Crack!
The lock broke, and Junhyuk smiled coldly. The door opened, and a blonde Jeffrey walked in to see Junhyuk.
“Bebe’s Black Armor?”
After he spoke, Junhyuk was surprised. The man had been to the Dimensional Battlefield and knew about the dimensional merchant.
He didn’t have a chance to respond before Jeffrey summoned his purple armor.
“Bebe’s Violet Armor.”
Junhyuk knew what it was, and Jeffrey became nervous. Jeffrey was well-equipped, and he was wearing a suit of armor that cost over thirty thousand gold.
He had wanted to take the advantage, but they were both wearing similar suits of armor. Still, he felt like he might have more power and said:
“Nice to meet you. I’m Jeffrey, a novice.”
