Federico repeated those words as if they were echoing in his head.

‘Mr. Federico. Is this all there is to it?’

And then I looked again at Unknown, the person who said those words.

An expression of self-ignorance.

It’s not even a pretentious expression.

Just a calm look in his eyes, determined to put Federico’s skills to use.

Perhaps the coolest interviewer would have the same look in his eyes as that unknown person.

‘interview? A brat like that… dares to test my skills?’

For a moment, I became angry.

The eruption of Appalachia. I wanted to activate that skill of authority and turn him into a flat piece of beef jerky.

But it was strange.

As a mafia boss, it is not particularly difficult for him to kill someone in a conference room like this.

And it’s a common occurrence.

If there is a traitor to the organization or a member of the organization who made a big mistake. Summary execution was also a custom in the mafia world.

“……”

Nevertheless, Federico remained silent.

Unconscious sense of heterogeneity. Because of that sense of heterogeneity, he was unable to vent his anger right away.

I have not yet been able to define the identity of that sense of heterogeneity.

‘Clearly I am deploying the third power. And yet…’

And soon Federico realized.

The deployed mana of the 3rd power dominates the table.

It was natural that the realm of mana had already surrounded that man and had to be restrained.

Now his power was blocked by that man.

It had no effect on Unknown.

‘How… did it happen?’

A cold sweat broke out.

And I soon guessed the cause of the unexpected situation and my body trembled.

‘Unconscious rejection… my instinct. Are you warning me not to sharpen my blade at that person?’

It was like that.

How dare you ask yourself, is this all there is?

He spoke dismissively.

With Federico’s personality, he should have torn this table to pieces and attacked him a long time ago.

However, the skill did not advance towards that man.

And I found myself involuntarily relieved by that fact.

The moment you activate your skill.

Conversely, I was convinced that I was the one being eaten.

Federico was able to confirm it later.

‘The power of the Unknown has already taken control of this conference hall.’

I felt like I was in prison.

Once I realized that sensation, I could see it clearly.

Like an executioner hanging on the gallows.

Federico’s power was already losing its grip.

‘I couldn’t even see the power being activated. Nevertheless, has the control of space been completed?’

Not only the control of space, but also the restraint of the body to the point of feeling paralyzed.

I was glad I didn’t touch him for no reason.

To put it bluntly, I didn’t even feel the activation of authority.

I had a gut feeling that there was a clear difference in skill between me and that unknown person.

His intuition as a mafia saved him from numerous near-death situations in the back alleys.

Federico, who had remained silent, swallowed.

And I decided to carefully check the true intentions of the man named Unknown.

“What does that mean? This is it…”

“No. I take back that statement. Federico I don’t think you’re a fool at all.”

Unknown’s evaluation has gone up compared to a little while ago.

Still, these are extremely rude words for the boss, Federico.

So Federico carefully put on the four feet.

“Not attacking you. So you said that to me…”

“Accurate. If you attacked me first. Because you would have died right here.”

“What bullshit!!”

At Unknown’s words, the other executives except Chris were angry.

But Federico raised his hand to stop his men’s uproar.

“……”

And instead of opening his mouth, he shifted his gaze to Chris sitting next to him.

Then all the executives hurriedly waited for her to speak.

“Father’s choice was right. The laser sight of power against that man… Unknown. Because the target is not visible.”

“Ma… That’s ridiculous! So does that mean even Chris can’t shoot that guy?”

Chris’s 3rd power specializing in penetration.

And what maximizes the penetration efficiency of that shot is her perfect zero-point capture.

This means that zero point cannot be achieved even at the current ultra-close distance.

Slayer’s executives were not so stupid as to not know what that fact meant.

“What a monster…”

The executives immediately fell silent.

They were not the ones who were currently in control of the conference room, or rather, had the power over life and death.

It was that Unknown.

Realizing that fact, Federico forced open his lips, which had become even more motionless due to fear.

“Then Unknown… what do you want?”

Unknown smiled and said those words.

“We need a few more people to work with Crimson Teeth. Not only the New York mafia, but also a New York hero. Even the Hunter Association. Please collect them all in your name.”

At that moment, I immediately realized what those words meant.

‘Right. Crimson Teeth… Is Unknown targeting not just New York’s underworld, but all of New York?’

But Federico had no veto power.

“If you are, you are an apostle of Valhalla. And accurate weighing will be possible between our Crimson Teeth. Isn’t that right, Broker Federico?”

Federico could only nod his head at his words.

***

I was going down a skyscraper in Manhattan.

Federico’s Slayer.

It was the building that was the headquarters of the mafia.

In the high-speed elevator, I briefly recalled what happened a little while ago.

‘Letisane’s 3 wonders. This item is beyond what I imagined.’

I knew that because I had already used Orb, one of the three sacred weapons.

The power of the three awakened sacred powers cannot be described with the word item, creating effects outside the standard.

================================​​​​​​​​​

[In use]​

* Letisane’s Fixing Dagger / Legend+ / None / lv.50 (max)

: When a qualified person possesses it, the power of ‘fixation’ is awakened.

================================​​​​​​​​​

Among them, the awakening power of Letisane’s dagger is ‘fixed’.

That power was a special ability that temporarily fixed the opponent’s power.

‘It’s a kind of paralyzing effect.’

With that dagger, I fixed Federico’s power and the eruption of Appalachia in place.

Of course, it is very difficult to hold on to the power of Federico, the 8th villain.

It could have been destroyed before the power of the dagger was used.

‘Using authority means. Ultimately, it means you have to use your skills.’

It means that it has a weak point before it is shaped into the image of that dagger and driven into it with a skill.

But at that time, my hidden title shone.

Hidden title Unknown.

The cold fire avenger has disappeared. That fraudulent power, Unknown, has actually been strengthened to this day.

‘It didn’t work against someone as strong as Oriphyel. It’s different now.’

The reason I was able to make Orifiel my limbs was due to the devil’s master-servant hierarchy rather than the influence of Unknown.

But it was different now.

My level has surpassed the 3rd power. Due to the level of the 3rd awakening, the level of the title Unknown has also expanded.

[The effect of Unknown is applied normally to the 3rd awakener.]

================================​​​​​​​​​​

* Title effect

: Attack power increases against targets whose side belongs to the underworld.

: The effect increases further during a surprise attack. At the same time, a ‘fear’ debuff is applied.​

================================​​​​​​​​​

The title’s effect, a confirmed fear debuff applied to people in the underworld.

A word I thought lightly.

– Mr. Federico. Is this all there is to it?

He said something very arrogant to the super-big villain.

And in that moment, Federico’s composure must have been broken by that sudden action.

Through that gap, the effect of the title Unknown is applied.

And I paralyzed his powers with the stabilizing dagger.

‘It was very easy after that.’

At that time, all eyes were focused on me and Federico.

I also used the other three sacred weapons, Letisane’s Mirror.

================================​​​​​​​​​

[In use]​

*​Letisane’s Binding Mirror / Legend+ / Chaos / lv.50 (max)

When a qualified person possesses it, the power of ‘redemption’ is awakened.

================================​​​​​​​​​

Like the description of the system.

The awakening power of the ‘binding mirror’ is to bind the other person in space.

To put it simply, it was like reproducing the overwhelming spatial dominance that An Yu-min possessed in Mirror Hotel in a real space.

The moment when all these strategies were applied without any obstacles.

Federico, no, not all Slayer members could resist me.

Tiring-

The elevator has arrived at its destination.

Private parking lot in the basement of the building.

And the person who guided my group there was not a small child, but an unexpectedly big man.

“Father… No, the boss has provided accommodations for you. I will be in charge of guiding you there.”

Slayer’s executive, Chris Noel, decided to accompany the group in person.

The group got into a luxurious black limousine with her.

I was impressed by the spacious and luxurious space that reminded me of first class on an airplane.

“Well… if you don’t mind. Do you mind if I sit next to you?”

And strangely enough, Chris sat down right next to me.
