The World Turned into a Game After I Woke up Chapter 217

Chapter 217: 217
Translator: HunterW Editor: RED It took me about an hour to wipe out the entire third floor FOB . I turned to face the Sand Warrior that had lost its arm and about a third of its body . The other was destroyed mid-battle and only this one was left standing . "Recall . " At my command, the sand that was keeping the Warrior whole lost its hold and returned to the dungeon . I was satisfied with my Sand Warriors . They had both taken out about seventy devas by themselves . Those devas were healers and supporters that stood the farthest away from me, but killing them definitely helped with killing the other soldiers . "Hmm…" With the Sand Warrior gone, I finally looked around to see that the base was in complete ruins . "Did I overdo it?" I had just killed over a thousand soldiers in a single battle . A thousand devas had just incurred a single death penalty . I shook my head . It was war . Soldiers were going to lose lives and there was no need to regret it . Besides, they were the two-faced criminals, not me . I plopped down on a piece of rubble that was once part of the base's wall . "What should I do now?" I could stop here and wait for the Windsor Guard to react or keep going . I didn't have much time to keep thinking about what to do when my Comm Link rang . "I bet it's from the Windsor Guard . " They had lost over two thousand lives in all, starting from yesterday . It wasn't cheap to have to provide all of them with restoration gems . Losing so much at once wasn't something they could ignore . "Hello?" I picked up after letting my Comm Link ring for as long as possible . "Young master!" "Yes, minister, what is it?" "There's someone here from the Windsor Guard to see you . She said it was urgent . " "The Windsor Guard? What do they want with me?" I knew that the representative from the Windsor Guard was listening in and I purposefully played dumb . Obviously dissatisfied with my response, I heard the minister's Comm Link get taken away . "Hello, Mr . Lee," a new voice spoke up . "Who is this?" I said, adding a small sprinkle of annoyance . The owner of the new voice noticed the annoyance and I could hear the sheepishness in her voice . "I must apologize . I can assure you that I didn't steal away the minister's phone; I was just in a hurry . I wouldn't do anything so foolish with people from the Sunbin Guild watching me closely . " "I asked who you were . " "Right . My name is N and I'm the Chief of Staff of the Windsor Guard . I would really like to meet with you as soon as possible . " For the Windsor Guard to send their chief officer, they must really be hurting more than I had imagined . "Hmm…I am a bit busy right now…" "I believe we have many things to discuss, Mr . Lee," N said . She probably meant what happened here in Bristol Dungeon and Mexico . "Hmm…" I kept feigning ignorance and pretended to think . "I'm not sure what we have to talk about, but very well . I am a bit curious . I'll return to Seoul soon . " "Thank you, Mr . Lee . I'll be waiting . " I was one step closer to stopping the Windsor Guard's involvement in Mexico . I hung up my Comm Link and took out a Warp Scroll that had my home recorded . "And if they don't do as I ask, then I'll just make it so that they won't ever be able to hunt in the Bristol Dungeon again . " --- Back at my home base in Seoul, I noticed that there were about a hundred devas wearing the mark of the Windsor Guard gathered on one side . That was an interesting number . It wasn't enough to be intimidating, but too many for this to be a simple talk . Devas of my allied factions had them surrounded, as well . I gave them a small nod as I headed inside my house . I had changed my clothes before leaving the dungeon, but my body was still grimy from the fight . I took a long, hot shower and finally met with the British guests an hour later . "I am N, Chief of Staff of the Windsor Guard . We spoke earlier . " "It's an honor to meet you, Mr . Lee . My name is Albert Brown, captain of the Windsor Guard's 1st Assault team . " "Welcome to my home . Please, have a seat . " I shook N's and Albert's hands and sat down . I was the first to talk . "So, what brings you all the way here? I don't think I ever had anything to do with the Windsor Guard or have met anyone from your guild," I said shamelessly, even though I obviously looked like I was just in a fight when I got home . "We honestly have no idea as well . What reason would you have to do something like this?" "Something like what?" N took out several photos in response to my question . It was me with the golden duck mask holding my Harrier . "I don't know who that is, but that's one good-looking fellow . I like his mask, too . " " . . . " N didn't say anything, looking straight at me, and I held her gaze . "This isn't you, Mr . Lee?" Albert asked, disgusted . "Me?" I asked, pointing to myself, as if I was shocked he asked that . "Yes, you!" "I don't see how you think this person is me . Is it because he's using a spear? There are so many people out there who use spears . " "Is it because of what happened in Mexico?" N asked suddenly . I was taken slightly aback . I didn't expect her to be upfront about it . But if I said that it was, then I was admitting that that the duck-man was in fact me . I mean, we all knew it was me, but I didn't want to give them the satisfaction . "Mexico? Why are you bringing up Mexico now all of a sudden?" "Then can we take that as permission to continue our operation in Mexico?" "I don't know why you're asking me that . " "You don't know anything at all… then I'll put it simply . The Windsor Guard is heavily invested with the battle in Mexico between the NCR Guild and Pedro . The moment we intervened, this duck mask-wearing individual began attacking us . " "Huh… is that right?" "Yes . " "Then why are you meeting with me and not him?" "We want to hear your advice, Mr . Lee," N said, looking right at me . I could tell she was no easy opponent, but I did want the Windsor Guard to do what I wanted them to do . "Well, if that's the case, I can impart to you the best advice I can give you . " I picked up a photo that had a clear shot of me wearing the duck mask . "You can't see his face, but I can tell this man is very stubborn and has a strong personality . Unless things go his way, I don't see him ever stopping . " "… . . . " N obviously knew what I was getting at and remained silent . "But, that is just my opinion . I don't know who this person is, so I can't outright speak for him . " "He did proclaim he would do something, but he hasn't done anything about it for a while . That is why we acted instead . Was that our mistake?" "I don't know . Maybe . " "Had he acted first, we would not have interfered . We had no intention of ever getting in his way . " "Well, I'm not entirely sure what had happened between you two so I don't really know what to say . " I had already told them what they needed to know when I said the masked man was very stubborn . The choice was theirs now . It was up to them if we were going to continue this charade . "I see . Well, it certainly was helpful advice . If I may, could I ask one more thing?" "By all means . I'd be more than happy to help . " "How do you think he found out about our operation? How did he find out that it was us? We have never executed a foreign operation before . " "Hmm…I'll just say what I would do, since you are asking for my advice . In such cases, I just guess . I just leave it to luck and usually, I'm right . " "You guess…" N repeated . "That's quite the ability you have . " "Well, that's just my experience," I said with a smile . "Thank you for answering my questions . " "Don't mention it . I just hope it will help . " "It will; I'm sure of it . " "Then I'm glad . " N and Albert stood up to leave the drawing room . Before they left, I spoke up . "Since you say my advice was of great help, could I add one last thing?" N stopped and turned to face me . "Go ahead . " "I believe that this man also has a quick temper and is quite impatient . I doubt he likes sitting still for more than a day . " " . . . " N didn't say anything for a moment . She soon put on a smile . "Thank you for telling me that . " I was soon left alone in the drawing room . "Now all I have to do is to wait . " I had done all I could now . I didn't outright say it, but I had asked them if they were going to take their hands off of Pedro and gave them 24 hours to decide . "Ha… to think I would actually help someone I never met with their revenge…" I headed back to my room while thinking about Pedro, who only had five days left to live now . I needed the rest, in case the British bastards didn't do as I said . ------ Windsor Guard base beneath London's Green Park… The guild officers and Queen Elizabeth herself were gathered to meet . N had just reported on the meeting she had with Lee Jiwon . "He's outright looking down on us," Queen Elizabeth said with utmost disgust, and her officers agreed . The United Kingdom once had the greatest empire in the world, and was still considered a great power . "Can we not use the Death Prison on Lee Jiwon instead?" the queen asked . "That's…" The officers knew what she meant . They needed to exact their revenge on Lee Jiwon, but there was a time for everything, and it wasn't now . "If we recall the Templar soldiers, wouldn't it be possible?" "It might be, but Lee Jiwon isn't alone anymore . " "You mean those six guilds that took it upon themselves to protect Lee Jiwon's home?" "Yes, I do . The Myth Guild, Ravi Guild, and the Werewolf Clan all owe Lee Jiwon their lives . Only Lee Jiwon was there to save them . The Abu Dhabi Guild were also the ones to experience Lee Jiwon's true power up close . If we openly bring the fight to Lee Jiwon… then they will all run to his aid, no matter what . " "We have allies as well, don't we?" The Windsor Guard was one of the three strongest guilds of Europe, and maintained good relationships with many guilds . "I doubt we can rely on them for something as political as this," N replied . "Ha… then do we give up here?" " . . . " No one could reply to their queen's question . Not even N knew what to say . In the end, Queen Elizabeth knew what had to be done . They had to wash their hands of Pedro and leave him for Lee Jiwon . "Fine . Very well . I'm no fool, to not realize that we have no choice . But I won't ever forget that we failed here today . " "Yes, Your Majesty!" And so, the Windsor Guard recalled their secret Templar soldiers . ------ The next day in Seoul… The news channels and papers were all talking about the war in Mexico . More attention was on it now when Pedro almost died a few days ago . But the news today was different . The NCR Guild had received another heavy blow . "Good . They pulled out . " Without the Templar soldiers assisting them, the NCR Guild could not defend against Pedro's attacks . "He has four days left now . " I remembered clearly how long the war was because of Pedro's sudden appearance and disappearance . "Four days . I hope you successfully exact your revenge by then . " I was serious about that, especially with all the work I put in for him .
