Chapter 71: The Price of Peace

[Sunday – Executive Meeting Room, Tokyo]

Wang Rise walked into the soundproof meeting room with his usual cold, untouchable aura. Waiting for him were the South Korean Chairman, two S-Rank Knights, and two Rank-1 Knights serving as bodyguards. Wang didn’t offer a handshake; he simply sat down and leaned back.

“Alright, Chairman. You asked for my time. Start talking,” Wang said.

The Korean Chairman activated a digital screen on the table. It showed horrifying footage of a Gate Break in Seoul. Monsters were flooding the streets, and local knights were being overwhelmed.

“Mr. Wang Rise,” the Chairman began, his voice shaky. “As you can see, we are losing control. Our knights are exhausted. I need the Master Guild to intervene. We need 3 to 5 of your S-Rank knights stationed in our country immediately.”

Wang smirked, looking at the carnage on the screen like it was a boring movie. “I can give you six S-Rank knights. But you know I don’t work for free. What’s the price?”

“Whatever you ask,” the Chairman replied.

“60 million dollars for the deployment,” Wang said flatly.

One of the Korean S-Rank knights slammed his hand on the table. “60 million?! That’s robbery! You’re taking advantage of a crisis!”

Wang’s eyes shifted toward the knight, and the temperature in the room seemed to drop. “You clearly haven’t seen my knights in action. They aren’t just S-Rank; they are the strongest in the world. If you want a discount, call someone else and watch your city burn.”

The Chairman silenced his knight with a glare. “It’s fine. We have no other choice. Portals across the world are opening at 2x speed. If we can get your men, we’ll pay.”

“Good. If the gossip is over, give me the papers. I’m a busy man,” Wang said. He scanned the contract, scribbled his signature, and walked out without a second look.

As the door closed, the Korean Chairman let out a breath he didn’t know he was holding. “Every time that man enters a room, I feel like I’m suffocating. One wrong word, and he’d erase us all.”

[Xyron’s Current Home]

Xyron walked through the front door, stretching his arms. “Man, today’s raid was almost a joke. I just sat there while the Guardians cleared the whole dungeon in ten minutes.”

Maki looked up from her phone. “Welcome back, brother.”

“How’s Kim?” Xyron asked, his tone turning serious. “Has he said anything yet?”

Maki sighed, shaking her head. “No. He bought a small house and moved out yesterday. He’s completely shut down, Xyron. He won’t talk to anyone.”

Xyron nodded slowly. “I’ll give him some more time. Loss like that… it doesn’t go away fast.”

Maki suddenly changed the subject, her eyes lighting up as she shoved her phone in Xyron’s face. “Anyway! Remember we talked about buying a new house? Look at this one!”

Xyron took the phone and looked at the listing. It was a massive, ultra-modern villa with a training hall, a pool, and high-level mana security. Then he saw the price tag: 50 Million Dollars.

“50 million?!” Xyron choked. “Maki, are you trying to bankrupt me? I’m a knight, not a bank!”

Maki pouted, her eyes turning watery. “But you have the money! You’re the champion of the Mega Fight! Don’t be a cheapskate, brother.”

Xyron looked at her, then at his bank balance which was overflowing from the tournament rewards and dungeon loot. “Fine, fine! Don’t start crying. Link my account and buy it.”

Maki jumped up, screaming with joy. “YES! Finally! I can’t wait to leave this old place!”

Editor’s Comment:

Wang Rise is making millions out of the global portal crisis, solidifying his spot as the world’s shadow ruler. Meanwhile, Xyron is learning that even with 100,000 shadow soldiers, he can’t win an argument against his sister. But Kim’s disappearance into his new house is a bad sign—grief can turn a man into a hero, or a very dangerous villain.
