Chapter 539

However, Choi Yeonseung wasn’t the only one to collect supplies. Despite all the warnings and public attention, some companies still tried to gather the cores.

***

Hangzhou City—the core power plants of Weixin Energy, as well as the factories of several foreign energy companies, were located here.

The Chinese government’s preferential treatment was a privilege in itself, but it also allowed Weixin Energy to get cheap labor and run all kinds of facilities without drawing attention from any neighbors.

The cores provided clean energy, but humanity’s greed knew no bounds. Many companies were willing to use pollutants if it meant achieving a greater level of efficiency.

Bao Wang, the chairman of Weixin Energy, came to the scene himself and reprimanded the workers.

“I can’t believe this is all I get! I invested so much money into building a facility! What do you plan to use it for? Put more cores in and activate it!”

“We apologize, Chairman... But various people, including party members, have expressed their worries...”

“You believe those rumors?! You’re also crazy!”

With that, Bao Want rammed his bulging belly into the worker’s shoulder.

“If it doesn’t come out in the thorough investigation, then it doesn’t matter! Why is Parker Group selling them so cheap? They’re on the verge of ruin! The chairman is struggling because of what happened. He’s trying to secure money, even if it means cutting off his own flesh, because the funding line is blocked and he’s running out of cash. Then what should we do? Shouldn’t we be grateful? And yet you’re scared by that Choi Yeonseung guy!”

Bao Wang didn’t believe Choi Yeonseung at all. Why would he trust the chairman of a rival company if the thorough investigation had yielded nothing?

And yet, the reactions of others were baffling. Even high-ranking officials were saying things like “Choi Yeonseung isn’t one to talk nonsense. There must be something to it.”

Bao Wang felt like he was surrounded by lunatics. People couldn’t think rationally and just blindly believed celebrities even if they were spewing a bunch of nonsense.

“Hurry up and add more cores. Do you know how many cores Fujikawa Power has purchased from Parker Group this time? What about Entro Pack? Do you know what these buyers are doing? They’re being patriotic! Do you even know what that is?”

“I-I’m sorry.”

“Activate it!”

Bao Wang was proud to have built up China’s leading company with his own hands. He could bet his own name on it. All those accusations regarding the new cores from Parker Group were nothing but a hoax!

Indeed, it had to be just a fraudulent attempt by Choi Yeonseung to keep his rivals in check!

***

‘There will always be people who don’t listen.’

Choi Yeonseung looked at the huge trailers that were driving on the road. He was on his way to the power plant area where several companies were gathered, and he was willing to bet money that several companies had already bought cores from Parker Group.

Choi Yeonseung didn’t mean to blame them for that.

‘After all, it’s already weird that so many people listened to me in the first place.’

In fact, the people who had decided against buying the flawless cores just because of Choi Yeonseung’s words and the opinions around them were the strange ones, not the people who were still buying them.

Of course, Choi Yeonseung wouldn’t let it go.

“Odaigon.”

“Yes!”

He was waiting with Odaigon. The reason for coming here was simple—steal everything!

A bold and perfect heist in which a constellation directly pierced through the security and sent all the supplies directly to the Abyss.

‘It’s the perfect plan.

No constellation could’ve come up with something like that.

-It’s not that it’s impossible for other constellations to devise such a plan. It’s just that they haven’t thought of something like this yet...

The goddess of sloth felt like she was getting a headache...

Choi Yeonseung’s power of existence was dazzling compared to the first time they met. In fact, no other constellation in the Abyss had elevated themselves as fast as him. However, Choi Yeonseung had maintained his original mentality all this time.

There was no need for him to do this himself, was there...?

Regardless of what the goddess of sloth was saying, Choi Yeonseung looked at the trailers with a very serious expression.

‘It’s all in.’

Choi Yeonseung swiftly erased his presence with a martial art technique.

Having implemented the powers of various constellations into his martial arts, Choi Yeonseung’s realm of martial arts had expanded more and more. It was no exaggeration to say that this stealth skill was something that only a constellation could create and use. It transcended the realm of human martial arts.

Odaigon swiftly hid his presence as well, following Choi Yeonseung with a look of admiration. Choi Yeonseung had no need for magic, bothersome equipment, or trickery. He just walked confidently.

This was the majesty of a constellation!

Odaigon’s loyalty and admiration for his master had caused him to forget why he had even come here to begin with.

Just as Choi Yeonseung and Odaigon entered, something unexpected happened. Choi Yeonseung was the first one to notice.

It was dead quiet.

‘...What’s with this silence?’

Since it was a factory area, one would expect to hear all kinds of loud noises from machinery, or at the very least background noise from the cars and people passing by.

However, nothing, absolutely nothing was heard. Odaigon felt a chill down his spine. Despite being an experienced mortal who had faced many hardships in the Abyss, he was afraid.

It wasn’t long before a factory completely vanished without a sound. The people nearby opened their mouths to scream, but no sound came out.

......

Then, a monster in the form of a whale emerged in the sky. Choi Yeonseung was certain it was the clone of the Master of Slowness and Silence.

‘How did he get summoned already?’

-It seems like humans were greedy and bought too much.

-Even so, if he appears like this already then no one else will buy the Parker Group’s cores. He’s shown up too soon... Oh, I get it.

Choi Yeonseung belatedly realized what was going on. He was the reason the Master of Slowness and Silence had rushed like this!

The Master of Slowness and Silence had tried to use Parker Group, but after Choi Yeonseung got in his way and drove the group into the ground, the slowness constellation gave up on them and changed up his strategy, deciding to target areas that were already available.

‘Should I consider this fortunate...?’

The extinction and decomposition happened silently. The clone of the slowness constellation made the facilities of the surrounding factory area disappear with his creepy gaze. Those who tried to flee the scene were unable to do so. The faster they tried to run, the slower they became.

[The Master of Slowness and Silence casts the ‘Curse of Binding.’]

Everyone was stuck in place without even realizing it.

Choi Yeonseung figured out what his opponent was trying to do. The Master of Slowness and Silence was planning to erase all noisy beings in the area and reduce them to nothing but slow-breathing creatures!

‘Uh... It’s actually not as horrible as I thought.’

Perhaps it was because it was a realm controlled by a constellation, but it was quite peaceful and quiet from the outside. But after taking a closer look, it was actually a horrifying sight...

If the Master of Slowness and Silence were a violent constellation, relishing in bloodshed and slaughter, the damage would be a hundred times worse. Of course, this was already cruel enough for the companies who had spent their money building these facilities.

-Odaigon, retreat. They have summoned the Master of Slowness and Silence, so they should deal with him on their own.

The confrontation with the Master of Slowness and Silence was getting more intense, but Choi Yeonseung didn’t want to fight for nothing. If he were to fight, he would do it from an advantageous position and if he had the confidence to win.

He had no intention of fighting in an area close to the headquarters of the slowness constellation and full of shady Chinese hunters. Besides, hadn’t this disaster been caused by the corporate bastards who hadn’t listened to his warning?

Of course, his warning had been groundless at first, but in the end, everything had unfolded as though a prophecy had been fulfilled.

All in all, those guys should deal with this clone on their own.

[The area has become quiet and slow.]

[The ‘Master of Slowness and Silence’ becomes stronger within the area.]

[The ‘Master of Slowness and Silence’ takes over the territory.]

[The ‘Master of Slowness and Silence’ has discovered you.]

‘...Damn.’

The Master of Slowness and Silence had gained control of the area incredibly fast, so he soon found Choi Yeonseung as well.

The whale turned to Choi Yeonseung and, in stark contrast to the otherwise calm atmosphere, proceeded to attack him.

The constellation’s power was seeping into him, causing his body to feel heavy and limp, like wet cotton. Choi Yeonseung used his internal energy and the powers of other constellations to try to block it, but he couldn’t help sweating.

The opponent was incredibly strong, but more than that...

‘I can’t afford to get exposed!’

Fighting a constellation’s clone was quite dangerous. The stronger the opponent, the likelier it was for Choi Yeonseung’s identity to get exposed. Up until this point, Choi Yeonseung had only revealed his identity to a constellation when he was convinced he could kill them shortly after. But the current situation was very complicated.

He couldn’t take down the Master of Slowness and Silence now, but he couldn’t just get beaten by his clone either.

Choi Yeonseung fretted over it as he broke through the opponent’s powers. What should he do?

***

“At present, the household member of an evil god constellation has descended to Hangzhou City! It is presumed to be the household member of the Master of Slowness and Silence!”

“Why all of a sudden? It makes no sense! The Master of Slowness and Silence is in his own territory! We didn’t confirm any movement!”

The moment the household member of an evil god constellation appeared, the surrounding area was put on alert. Hunters from available clans hurriedly grabbed their artifacts and headed over.

Unlike other evil god constellations, the Master of Slowness and Silence had a different significance to China. Hadn’t this constellation already occupied half of the country? His sudden descent meant that he was aiming to occupy the other half.

“U-uh...”

“What? Hurry up and tell me! We’re heading to the scene right now!”

“If you’re hiding something, I’ll make sure you won’t get away with it!”

“Well... The companies that are on the scene... I heard they smuggled a large amount of cores from Parker Group... Information... From the officials there...”

“...”

“...”

The fast-flying hunters were furious.

“Those crazy foreigners! What are they doing on sacred Chinese soil? They were clearly warned, and other countries refrained from buying the cores! How dare they...! I’ll never forgive them!”

“Weixin Energy... I think they’re the ones who did it...”

“...”

The enraged hunters paused. That was a Chinese company...

“Those trash officials! Filthy traitors! Taking a bribe and allowing such a thing?!”

“We need to put them all in jail...”

“Ah! Foreign companies seem to have played a part too! The list has been updated!”

“...Can’t you properly say everything at once?! How long are you going to keep confusing us?!”

The Chinese hunters, furious and with no remaining patience, grabbed the person in charge by the throat.
