Chapter 9: Beginning of Gangbuk's unification

Jaehe Han's POV

"No doubt about it, this place is traumatizing but effective."

I couldn't help but praise Hansu Seong's teachings. I've evolved tremendously in just two weeks.

"Me too, I've evolved a lot with this Gwang Yu. He's even thinking about taking Yugyeom Na as an intern."

It seems Seok Kang has also gained a lot from the advice of the man Johan recommended as his master. I wonder to what level he has evolved.

I can also see that Hanju is different. He seems to have become stronger in one way or another.

"Do you know why the boss gathered us?"

I could only ask him since he's currently number 2. I wonder if the boss wants to take action.

"He said he'd explain everything himself, but it's official: we're taking over North Gangbuk today."

Hanju answered me calmly while smoking his cigarette. He and I really should stop taking this stuff.

"I get it now, and I can't wait," Seok Kang seems excited about the upcoming events.

"And you, Yugyeom Na, do you feel ready?" I was expecting just a nod, but his answer surprised me.

"I'm more ready than ever."

"You can talk?" I was surprised. Yugyeom Na had suffered trauma when he was young.

His parents died in a fire, and after this unfortunate event, he had been unable to express himself. I thought only time could heal him.

"I was also surprised when I learned he had regained the gift of speech."

Hanju speaks slowly, glancing at Yugyeom Na. It's excellent news, but it makes one more competitor for the number 2 spot.

Johan's POV

I'm slightly late for the meeting with the crew's executives to organize the conquest of North Gangbuk.

The reason?

Because of the two individuals in front of me who are on their knees.

"Please, help us change."

"I don't want this life anymore."

They are Suhyeon Kim and Gukja Yang.

"My offer was only valid for Gukja. I doubt you could handle my training." I leaned towards them to talk to Suhyeon Kim.

He must have a rank B potential, which isn't bad, and I remember he's the only monster with potential that could evolve from B to S.

I don't remember how he did that, but it's possibly the system that helped him or just a plot armor.

In any case, it's not reliable, and his way of seeing things isn't good in a crew similar to mine.

I didn't create a "nice" crew; proof of that is that I didn't stop Seok Kang and Jaehe Han's illegal activities. On the contrary.

I gave them advice to make it more discreet and effective. I don't care about Seok Kang's clients as I don't care about 244 for now.

If a client of Seok Kang becomes dangerously addicted to his "product," I can fix it with Apollo's blessing, and this is also true for the crew members. I can heal them, but they won't do it.

I've forbidden the sale and use of dangerous products from Seok Kang and Jaehe Han to crew members.

"I'll do anything, I just want the harassment on me to stop."

I look at him for a moment before sighing. Training him personally will cost me time, and currently, wasting time means losing power for me.

But , I'm going to invest in him. I just hope the system will come to him so I can use it through him.

"Okay, I'm taking both of you into my crew."

I sighed before informing them of this. Gukja Yang's loyalty is guaranteed since he's not a liar, but Suhyeon Kim is different.

He was able to be on his knees and beg to better attack Yun Cho, the leader of North Gangbuk. I know he doesn't have a system, but when he gets one, he might possibly change his mind.

"I'm in a hurry, your training will start tomorrow."

I left the two who seem satisfied with these words and headed to the meeting place with the other crew members. I should just keep an eye on Suhyeon Kim.

As the saying goes: keep your allies close and your enemies even closer.

Upon arrival, I was satisfied with the atmosphere and especially the aura emitted by them.

I can say without a doubt that they are stronger than Johan's crew at the time of their betrayal. I'm doing a good job.

"I see you're all in shape."

I approached to sit in an armchair at the center of the room. A new guy named Lee something came to bring me a glass of alcohol.

Johan is currently 18 years old, and it would be stupid to deprive myself of drinking with Apollo's blessing in my possession.

"You surely all have a little idea of the reason for your summons."

I took a moment to look at each of them before continuing.

"Today, I'm taking over the entire Gangbuk, but before attacking, I'd like to know if you have any ideas."

It's just a formality, I don't need these things, and the current North Gangbuk is surely not as strong as it should be at the beginning of Questsim.

Choyun or Yun Cho must have obtained his system recently or he hasn't got it yet. I remember that Daniel from Gangbuk had a strength equivalent to Hanju before Choyun's arrival.

After some discussions with the crew to decide who will take care of a sector, I myself headed towards the center of North Gangbuk with only one subordinate to take care of the dirty work.

I asked them to clean up everyone in the North, but I'll take care of the top 5 of the North myself.

I entrusted Hanju and the others to take care of the rest of the top 10.

If they lose despite their training, then I'll just beat North Gangbuk alone. I doubt Choyun is as strong as he was against Suhyeon Kim.

If it's Sechan Kang, the current leader of the North, I'll just subdue him by force and talk to him like with the South Gangbuk leaders.

"Who are you..."

He didn't have time to say more words before he received a kick to the jaw and passed out. I of course dosed my strength.

Since I've been training with Hansu Seong, I've made tremendous physical progress and I've already copied all his style except for his deadly techniques that he hasn't shown me.

I continued to advance, knocking out people crazy enough to block my way, and I leave it to Lee to put them in a trash can.

I can't leave teenagers on the ground in the middle of the street, I have to think about the circulation of honest citizens.

Narrator's POV (author)

In the North Gangbuk high school, there was an imposing individual currently drinking wine from a sophisticated glass.

This man is known as Choyun. He is the leader of North Gangbuk, at least he almost is completely.

'I was really smart to have used my master level card to steal Sechan Kang's stats, the former leader of North Gangbuk.'

He couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. He only needs to get rid of those protesting against his authority.

Fortunately, he is currently much stronger than them.

'I'll just brainwash my opponents.'

*BAM* Sound of door opening.

"Boss, we're under attack," declares a subordinate of no importance from Choyun's perspective.

"Who is important enough for you to disturb the boss?" Daniel questioned him curiously.

He wonders who could have been strong enough to penetrate far enough into Gangbuk to force these subordinates to report to Choyun.

"It's... God Dog."
