Some nice pictures of me and Ray that appeared on TV news.

I asked Lund for help dealing with it, but he told me to wait a moment.

“Why? Ask Solas?”

“Just wait.”

A small chip near the head also glows briefly.

“It seems to have spread faster than I thought….”

“Then it won’t work?”

“You can issue a correction. But there’s nothing you can do about it spreading on the Internet.”

“…?”

I first asked Lund to put pressure on him to at least issue a correction.

Then I turned on the computer and connected to the Internet.

Even when I typed in search terms like Little Jinjo or Jinjo Chris, all sorts of articles popped up in an instant.

‘I need to watch the video first.’

I headed to a site where all kinds of videos were uploaded and decided to look for videos related to me.

Apparently, the reporters also requested an interview with Jason Spatoy, the 6th ranked player who defeated King Gordius with me in Sassau.

‘Oh, that’s not important right now.’

I sorted them by popularity and checked the top video.

It was a video uploaded by a news channel, not by an individual uploader.

The comments section was filled with all sorts of speculations about me, as well as opinions on who the little kid in the picture with me was.

Among them, a familiar ID appeared.

“Ah! Frank….”

It looks like the church comment unit consisting of Frank and his friends are out again.

Meanwhile, I was being bullied because of people whose nicknames blatantly gave off a church vibe.

“Lund, but once the correction comes out, everything will be okay, right?”

“…Well, I don’t know about that.”

Lund responded that it would be a good idea to at least try.

Even if a correction is reported, those who do not believe it and continue to make a fuss should be labeled as conspiracy theorists or weirdos.

‘Oh, so that’s the chairman. You have some experience in public opinion warfare.’

Her presidential appearance… no, she still looked like a wolf, but it felt like I got a glimpse of an unexpected side to her.

Around the time Lund began putting pressure on local news stations through the Tetracaine Association.

In relation to this, we needed to talk about it at the office level.

I felt bad for breaking this news to Sylvia, who had just woken up, but she hugged me and told me not to worry.

“Heeelp! Sylvia!”

He hugged Sylvia as if Midas had hugged me.

“But I’m worried about Youngmin, even though he’s Chris.”

“Ah….”

“Because Youngmin’s family can find out Youngmin’s whereabouts.”

“Oh, was it you?”

It was the Friuli family, I think. The name is a bit vague.

Well, the name was a good story after all.

The important thing is that Ray’s family is not an ordinary family.

Kresnik, the vampire hunters of the church, are the arch-enemies of vampires who are born with natures that are the exact opposite of vampires.

There are five Kresnik families in Maguspol, and among them is the Friuli family, to which Ray belongs.

“So now I have to deal with you too?”

***

To my question, Sylvia said that nothing was certain.

“Well, even if you know the location, I don’t think they’ll make a move rashly considering Ilseong’s presence.”

“Why Ilseong?”

“…There was something unpleasant happening during the process of taking Youngmin out of the family.”

“Who is this bad for?”

“Of course, that family.”

“Ahhh….”

In addition, the second son, Lund’s father, is the one who has wiped out many Kresnik families during his thousand-year life.

In some ways, there are reasons to be hostile, but there are also ample reasons to cooperate.

“If possible, it would be good if we could cooperate. After all, it’s Reine’s family.”

“That would be great.”

Afterwards, I showed Sylvia the chicken I had left before going down to the first floor.

“…What is this?”

“Chicken!”

“That’s not what I’m asking.”

“I ordered it because Midas wanted to eat it.”

He turned his arrows towards Midas.

But without even knowing that, Midas, who heard the word chicken, came towards me and Sylvia.

“Ah.”

The chicken left for Sylvia was discovered by Midas’ eyes.

“I want to eat!”

“No! This is Sylvia’s!”

The sight of the raccoon immediately grabbing my leg and wagging its tongue and tail was so scary.

“How about giving it to me when you want to eat it so badly?”

“No… The chicken and food I ate today is already a lot.”

“Then let’s just give half.”

‘Isn’t even half too much?’

With Sylvia’s permission, Midas’s desire for chicken became unstoppable. In the end, I gave Midas half of the chicken, mainly the lean meat.

“Midas, is this all you’re going to eat now?”

“I haven’t had lunch or dinner yet!”

“….”

It’s obviously true, so why are you angry?

Anyway, while Sylvia and Midas were eating chicken, I contacted Johnny.

I had all the troubleshooters in our office gather at Sylvia’s bar through Johnny at the bar.

I had something to say about the picture of me and Ray appearing in the news.

“Chicken in the morning is a bit weird.”

“…?”

After we ended the call, Sylvia told us about her impressions of the chicken. Meanwhile, Midas looked at her with a look of incomprehension.

“Then should I wrap this up?”

“Yes, that would be good.”

After wrapping up the remaining chicken, she hugged Midas, who had eaten his share cleanly.

“Okay, now let’s go down to the first floor.”

“Like!”

“Sheila, General.”

“Yes~.”

Following Midas, Sheila and the general, who had not yet solved the mystery, followed.

As I took the elevator down to the first floor, I felt eyes on the hideout building.

“Are you already being watched?”

“But it doesn’t seem like they’re coming into the building.”

First of all, I quickly headed there.

It was early in the morning, before the bar even opened, so there were no customers.

***

“Sister, come quickly.”

“Goodbye Johnny, hello Lina.”

Two bartenders were preparing to open the door at the claim. Johnny and Lina greeted us, and I greeted them both warmly.

“What about other people?”

“Not yet. But everyone will come down from the 3rd floor right away.”

Eslock, Lillian, Laia, and Psylocke live on the third floor of the hideout building.

Because the building owner, Sylvia, and I gave permission, and she was my subordinate. As for Psylocke… in a way, it felt more like she was there to keep an eye on me.

“Then what about David?”

“Ah, it’s in the bathroom.”

“Well, then it won’t take much time for everyone to gather.”

As we sat on the chairs in front of the stage and waited, the group began to gather one by one.

Eslock and Lillian arrived first, followed by David, who was in the bathroom, and then Leia and Psylocke.

Meanwhile, Psylocke started to get scared as soon as she saw me.

It seems that he was afraid of me because he made a golden statue out of a severed head. Of course, I would be scared if something like that happened to me.

Finally, Lund, who had come down from the third floor, joined us. Now that I think about it, I remember Lund wasn’t there when I came down.

“Come together everyone.”

First, I decided to explain why I called everyone here.

I also didn’t know this until I watched the TV news today, but when I went to buy Midas’s feed with Ray, they filmed it… and it was all on TV news.

“I did ask Lund to put pressure on him to issue a correction…”

“Then the urgent fire has been put out, right?”

“No, but I guess those who smell it will come flocking.”

David responded to Lina’s question as if he was troubled.

“I was planning to play with the kids tomorrow….”

“I think it would be better to cancel it.”

Sylvia told David that she was sorry but she thought it would be best not to do that.

I said that I could send one of my subordinates if necessary.

“No, it’s okay. I’m glad the kids aren’t scared.”

I don’t know about Eslock or Psylocke, but wouldn’t someone like Lillian or Laia be okay?

“Anyway, we’re doing everything we can. But we also have to be careful.”

From the pressure from Lund and the anti-Lidocaine forces to correct the news, to Frank and his friends’ comment unit activities.

All we could do on our own was to be careful and not go outside as much as possible.

It may be a long way from where bounty hunters and fixers come from… but it could be seen as a new opportunity for bounty hunters in Oakland and the surrounding areas.

“And I want to talk to the gang too.”

“To those guys too?”

“I don’t think I’ll be a match for the bounty hunter anyway.”

Johnny and David’s answers.

But there were others who had different opinions.

“Even though the gang members are weaker than the bounty hunters, their numbers and information power make them a worthy opponent.”

“In fact, just having information would be a great help to us.”

Eslock and Sylvia had a point.

Because they were organizations that had roots in the communities of Oakland and Grove Avenue right away.

Numbers are numbers, but if you include their collaborators, it will be easy to figure out what they eat and where they live.

“They also said that soon the two gangs would fight a biker gang that was selling drugs.”

In my words, Laia mentioned the agreement belatedly led by the government.

“They said that they were already using the biker gang there to make it look like they were selling drugs.”

If that happens, it will be the Hell’s Angels, a biker gang, who broke the agreement.

The authorities will have no choice but to hold them accountable, and if that happens, the war between the gangs will start again…

We, who had decided to work with both gangs, also needed to provide some assistance.

The point is to refrain from individual action as much as possible, pay attention to safety, and initiate group action when a war between gangs begins.

After informing the members of the Blue Heart Office that they were aware of this, he returned to his usual state.

“Well, there’s the Ildong office and the Metal Sight office, so I guess it’s not that different from the Silver Side days.”

“If it’s metal gaze… Those guys from the previous management office?”

“Yeah, you’re also in a cooperative relationship with the two gangs.”

All three of the agency’s offices on Grove Avenue were on the same side.

Looking around, it seemed like there were a few other offices besides the Metal Sight office, but they were all nothing special.

***

Only a few days later, corrections began to appear on TV news.

Fortunately, this was before the bounty hunters and fixers got into full swing, and Grove Avenue never became a security vacuum like Silverside.

Of course, there were still guys who sniffed around and came running.

However, both gangs were constantly tracking their locations and relaying them to us.

Sylvia and David were in the office on the second floor, mapping out the enemy’s locations based on the information they had been given.

“There are at least ten teams.”

“Really? It’s less than I thought.”

We could have asked the Public Security Bureau to arrest them, but they wouldn’t have readily submitted to arrest… right?

Meanwhile, the two gangs finally took action.

The Hell’s Angels were caught by two gangs trying to sell drugs in Auckland.

Since it was all a cover-up, the Hell’s Angels claimed it had nothing to do with them, but there were drugs and the bodies of dead gang members.

That’s why the authorities were completely fooled. The authorities immediately began to arrest the Hell’s Angels.

While this was happening in the sun, two gangs were pointing guns at each other in the shade.

The time was coming for us to start moving too.

But… it seemed like the angels of hell had come out of the makeshift boat.

The Blue Heart Office became the management office on Grove Avenue.

Given the relationship between the two gangs and the Metal Sight Office, which was the previous management office, it was easy to infer what had happened between them.

As the war between the Hell’s Angels and the two gangs began, they also started to move.

As a biker gang, there was a separate strike team in charge of attacks, and one of those strike teams attacked our office’s problem solver.

David.

In front of the house where the angelic children came out to greet me after finishing work.

The guys who had been waiting for their chance with their bikes nearby hit David in the back of the head.

“Dad!”

The two children were at a loss and David tried to protect them despite the sudden attack.

However, it seems that they had no intention of touching the children.

“Okay, get out of here!”

“What about the kids?”

“Okay, get out!”

The kids didn’t even bother to look at him, they just looked at David.

Neighbors rushed over as the two children cried and wailed in terror beside their unconscious father.

There seemed to be more warm-hearted oaks on Grove Avenue than I had thought.

David didn’t die, but that wasn’t entirely their intention, it was thanks to the help of his neighbors.

…Of course, there was no way our Blue Heart office could pass this up.

“Oh, is it Ilseong?”

“Yes, Chris. What’s up?”

And for this work, I contacted Ilseong at the Ildong office.

“…Are Mr. David and the kids okay?”

“David is in the hospital and the kids are okay.”

However, I did not intend to not seek revenge.

“Okay, let’s go there.”

Ilseong ended the call quickly.

Showing the blood of a parent in front of a child.

Although it was a Maguspol where parents sold their children and children killed their parents frequently, at least from Ilseong’s personal perspective, it was something that could never be tolerated.
