Broker Federico.

He is a legendary figure who started out as a low-level gang member and became the boss of the huge mafia, Slayer.

True to his nickname, Broker, he is a villain who brought his organization to the border between legal and illegal work.

‘And as someone who survived the afterlife, he is very strong.’

A person compared to the Master Hero.

Of course, the awakened level is SS level.

Unlike the western part of China, Japan, and the western United States.

He is the one who completely blocked the Apostle of Valhalla from being active.

Federico looks at me with puzzlement on his face.

And there was a bit of discomfort mixed in.

Apparently, the letter Orifiel sent him said that the ‘boss’ of Crimson Teeth was visiting him in person to hold a meeting.

It’s not surprising if you think it’s not appropriate.

At that time, May Ren, who had already arrived at the meeting room first, spoke to Federico.

“It’s been a while. Mr. Federico. I’d like to say that I’m glad you’re doing well. Things aren’t easy there either, right?”

Federico’s gaze, who had been looking at me intently, shifted to her.

“I understand well. I’m doing well even with empty words. It’s difficult for a long time. The number of guilds entering the Apostle’s sphere of influence is increasing… At the same time, like the Dark Ages, gates are popping up everywhere.”

The disgruntled expression remains the same.

Still, since the opponent was May Ren, Federico did not ignore it and answered.

“Phew. If things continue like this, the loss to the organization will be greater than the profit from catching monsters. The profit margin is not right. May’s situation is probably the same.”

I inhaled the smoke from the cigar.

Luxurious rings filled with cigar-thick fingers sparkled.

Looking at the system’s pop-up window, those rings are also items.

Those are also special items that are more than unique. It’s probably an item specialized for defense.

Broker Federico. His other nickname was a barrier that could never be breached.

‘Is this the mafia that represents New York and the eastern United States?’

It seems like a short conversation asking how each other is doing.

May Lendo. Federico also did not leave the slightest gap between them.

May Ren, an authority on deadly magic who can freeze people with just a glare.

The moment you let your guard down, it’s like a snake coils around your body and sinks its molars into you.

Her magic was also secret and quick.

In the momentum that Federico inadvertently exuded, no gap was felt.

‘As expected, both of them are members of the eight major villains.’

Normally, I would hide that presence.

Both of them were openly releasing their colored mana to the outside world.

I too have completed the 3rd awakening. Their state was visible.

‘For those who have reached the top, a fight begins just by looking at each other.’

A fight against each other.

It seemed to foretell that the current meeting would not simply lead to a favorable atmosphere.

‘He is a monster in both political power and military power. ‘He would never want to form an alliance where he would lose out.’

In addition, Slayer executive Chris Noel was also with Federico.

The Slayer’s signature character is definitely the broker Federico.

But Orifiel told me the truth when she briefed me on the Slayer’s information.

– Federico is definitely a dangerous man. But it was she who was able to unify the New York mafia. Because of Chris Noel.

Yellow blonde hair, typical American style casual clothing.

He looks like he’s in his early 20s.

In real life, she is a villain who has just turned 30.

Still, it could be said that he is a young villain.

‘Your skills are great.’

As expected, it was exactly as Orifiel had assessed.

I could feel the coldness of her, like a famous sword with a sharp edge.

Chris is a gunslinger.

You can’t let your guard down even a little in front of her.

Because he has the ability to insert a bullet accurately without missing that minute gap.

Her risk level, as assessed by Orifiel, is SS.

He evaluated Yoon Geon-woo as S+ grade during the final exam period.

Chris’s risk is higher.

‘If Federico were an impregnable wall. Chris is the exact opposite.’

A possessor of a deceptive power skill that penetrates anything.

In some ways, those two people are each other’s natural enemies.

Actually, Chris is Federico’s biological daughter. The two have a father-daughter relationship.

‘It’s not for nothing that the Slayer’s name is mentioned along with the Apostle of Valhalla.’

As expected from a world-class villain, her presence was noticeable even in this conference room where Federico and May Ren were present.

‘He’s glaring at me quite a bit.’

Moreover, Chris was very wary of me, not Mei Ren or Song Xia.

Although it is a typical American beauty image.

Her sharp-eyed gaze never left me for a moment.

It was worth it.

Lucifer, the 8th villain who exerts more influence than Federico in the behind-the-scenes world.

Lucifer is the name of Orifiel’s villain.

Even May Ren, who has an unpredictable personality, follows Lucifer as her boss.

In Korea, where the Apostle of Valhalla was exerting the strongest influence.

The villain group that was considered the Apostle’s main enemy until recently was Crimson Teeth. The squadron leader, Lucifer.

And the Crimson Teeth offered an alliance to Federico’s Slayer.

‘But Orifiel, Lucifer didn’t come here.’

After all, this is an event prepared in the name of Crimson Teeth’s new boss, ‘Unknown’.

Even those Slayer people probably already know that I am Unknown.

However, like the villain’s nickname, Unknown.

It was obvious that they also knew almost nothing about me.

‘Well, for someone who represents such an important meeting. It means I might look like a little kid.’

I felt that Song Xia was also very wary of Chris.

“I cast a defensive spell in case magic bullets come flying at me. But it’s me, Chris Noel. You must not let down your guard.”

Of course, Song Xia also knows the danger of Chris.

But contrary to Song Xia’s worries. I was calm.

dump-

Rather, before Federico even gave us a seat as guests.

I pulled out the chair across from where Federico was sitting.

Naturally, this is a place where the mana of power that he does not hide is exerting a strong influence.

“Nice to meet you. Mr. Federico.”

I said that and sat down right there in a relaxed posture.

***

Federico was embarrassed.

Apparently, the letter received from Lucifer, the high elf, said that the boss of Crimson Teeth would visit in person.

However, the person who actually appeared at the meeting was not Lucifer, but Unknown.

Of course, I heard that a villain named Unknown has been making a name for himself recently in Korea.

That’s Lucifer after all. In order to maintain his status as a socially famous entrepreneur, he thought that the fake boss he had set up was an unknown person.

‘Is that young man, Unknown?’

At first glance, this man does not look like a villain at all.

Rather, he is a young man who looks like an Asian idol.

So Federico couldn’t help but frown involuntarily.

‘Lucifer, you bastard! ‘Have I suddenly opened my eyes to indigo?’

Then I fully understand the current situation.

In order to save the spirit of his same-sex lover, he must have sent the named villain May Ren as an escort.

In fact, the man named Unknown was still unknown to the point where such an absurd idea occurred to him.

‘Otherwise… a young man like that, not Lucifer himself, would be invited to such an important meeting…’

Of course, his daughter and Slayer executive Chris was also young.

Still, no matter how I looked at that unknown person, he only looked like a man of about 20 years old.

‘I would feel less bad if I appointed May Ren as the deputy boss… and said she came as a representative.’

So, instead of staying calm like usual, he revealed his full strength without hiding anything.

3rd power. Eruption of Appalachia.

A mountain range representing the eastern United States.

Although it is not an image of an alpine region like the Rocky Mountains of the West.

The Appalachian Mountains are the traces of a supervolcano once erupting so large that its ash covered the Earth.

Thus, Federico’s 3rd power is as solid as a giant mountain range.

However, at the same time, it can create the power of an explosive landslide like an eruption of a mountain range.

A perfectly balanced power that even May Ren, who is famous for her dirty personality, can quietly reap the spell.

And the young man across the table sat calmly in front of the border of mana containing that power.

“Father… no, boss! It’s a conference room now. Reduce your power! What if that person gets hurt…”

Chris, who saw that, whispered.

I know what it means.

He did not hide the power of his authority. If you are not careful, your opponent may be swept away by the mana of that power and suffer fatal injuries.

In fact, it was surprising to see Chris as a fighter who surpassed himself.

Soon, Federico realized that his daughter was calmly understanding the situation, and his anger eased.

‘No matter how much an agent was appointed. He is a man who came as the boss in place of Lucifer.’

There was absolutely no benefit to hurting him like that.

It wasn’t called a broker for nothing.

In fact, the one who needed Crimson Teeth’s power more than anyone else was actually the Slayer.

Currently, the Crimson Teeth is the only organization that can fight for power against the Apostles of Valhalla.

Chris must have taken that situation into consideration.

For a moment, I felt ashamed of myself for not being able to calm down more than my young daughter. The daughter’s face was even red, as if she was angry at seeing her father almost make a mistake.

‘When did my political sense grow to this level? Of course, I’m proud of my daughter…’

Even in New York, the villain who is very famous for her appearance is her daughter, Chris.

As such, Federico is different from the image of a cool-headed boss.

Seriously, my daughter was an idiot.

So, if you see an Asian man that handsome, you might inadvertently be wary.

Fortunately, his daughter had no interest in men until she was in her thirties.

‘I’m really glad about that part… huh?’

Just as he was about to listen to his daughter’s words and give up his momentum.

The man in front of me showed an unexpected appearance.

He had a very sad expression.

And at the words that followed, Federico couldn’t help but believe his ears.

“Mr. Federico. Is this the answer?”
