An hour?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t know the exact speed of the Korean Peninsula, but it seemed like it would take quite some time to reach Shandong Province.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So what should he do in the meantime?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Should I move to the edge of Yeongjongdo? It will be the first to make contact with Shandong Province.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Yeongwoo was about to move Negwig inward on Yeongjongdo with this thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tat-tat, tat!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From behind Yeongwoo, in the direction of Incheon Port, several swift presences approached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘They’re coming.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was likely Incheon’s Strongest Swords.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not wanting to start an internal conflict before meeting the Chinese, Yeongwoo deliberately did not draw his sword and turned around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just in time, he saw three men and women running toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is someone already here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, the three were the Strongest swords from different parts of Incheon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『Bupyeong’s Strongest Sword』\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『Yeonsu’s Strongest Sword』\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『Michuhol’s Strongest Sword』\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘How are they already gathered here? Were they preparing for this situation from the beginning?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeongwoo wasn’t very familiar with Incheon’s geography, but even he knew it was almost impossible for the Strongest Sword from three different districts to meet in such a short time by coincidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if they had rushed over upon hearing the clash between Yeongjongdo and Incheon Port, there was a regional distance to consider.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meant that the three must have been staying nearby from the start.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘They must have been preparing for this situation, too.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the Pangaea incident had been predicted since yesterday, and for a port city like Incheon, this phenomenon was practically another catastrophe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only natural that they quickly gathered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You all… were preparing for the Chinese invasion?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeongwoo’s chest swelled with a sense of camaraderie as he looked at the three Strongest Sword with eyes full of brotherhood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Bupyeong swordsman, who had been staring at Yeongwoo, tilted his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mister.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…Yes?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you the Joseon’s Strongest Sword? Joseon means… our country’s best…?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His tone was full of curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apparently, the Bupyeong swordsman’s image of the nation’s strongest swordsman was quite different from Yeongwoo’s current appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, Yeongwoo didn’t look particularly battle-hardened, and his manner of speaking was quite refined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he was two meters tall and his body was well-developed with muscles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If it’s the Joseon’s Strongest Sword, isn’t that right? Our country is Joseon.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Didn’t you know? I figured it out as soon as I saw him on the horse. Finally, the king has arrived.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, really? I never thought I’d see the Joseon’s Strongest Sword in my life.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three Strongest Swords chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They seemed completely unconcerned about the Chinese invasion Yeongwoo had mentioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘What’s with these guys?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeongwoo finally realized the situation he was in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people in front of him were just brats with brute strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, Bupyeong looked to be in his early twenties at most, and Yeonsu and Michuhol appeared to be in their late teens or just twenty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Of course, being young doesn’t mean they lack sense, but when you add tattoos, the story can change.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Translator – Night]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Proofreader – Gun]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeongwoo noticed the intricate tattoos on Bupyeong’s ankles and calves a bit late, realizing that while preconceptions aren’t always correct, they often are.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s a coalition in Incheon, right? I assume there’s a reason you were all gathered here… When will the coalition leader arrive?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeongwoo asked this to find someone he could reasonably talk to, and Bupyeong, as if reading his mind, asked back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why? You think you can’t talk to kids?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“……!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy had an uncanny sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes. That’s part of it, but talking to the decision-maker would speed things up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Yeongwoo said this, Bupyeong grinned and looked around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Honestly, I have no idea. Does Joseon’s Strongest Sword really mean the best in the whole country?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Um… well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How should he explain that it’s actually a title from North Korea without causing any misunderstandings?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thinking for a moment, Yeongwoo simply nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, it means something similar. It means I’m very strong.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh…?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At Yeongwoo’s affirmation, Bupyeong’s gaze changed noticeably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, with a sly look, he narrowed his eyes again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But how do you know? That you’re really the best in the country.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“……?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’ve never seen you before. So you’re not really the best in the ‘whole’ country, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Understanding his point, Yeongwoo couldn’t help but chuckle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He meant that Yeongwoo couldn’t claim to be the best in the country without having fought anyone from Incheon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Seriously, even after seeing Negwig and the Golden Trail, they’re not intimidated?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was an attitude Yeongwoo couldn’t understand, but it was still a form of courage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes… correction. I’m not the best in the country yet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yet?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Predictably, Bupyeong seized on that word immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed he was eager to fight right away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeongwoo, who might have drawn his sword in his younger days, restrained himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We might have to fight the Chinese soon, so why are you trying to pick a fight with someone from the same country?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He managed to pull off a mature remark, restraining his hotheaded nature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bupyeong gave an irrefutable reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it, look at yourself. You look like you’re begging for a fight.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh…?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeongwoo followed his gaze and looked at himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirtless, tattoos on his shoulders, a spiral flame tattoo on his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the new Dogo product, ‘Cosmic Etiquette,’ resting on his bare shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention the flying golden sword and the iron horse from another world adding the final touch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Oh, I’m the real Incheon guy here!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tattoos, check.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeongwoo07.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, even more tattoos, rougher and densely packed, were hidden under his pants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In terms of tattoo quantity, Yeongwoo might outdo Bupyeong by a couple of levels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, I’m sorry. I tend to draw attention.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeongwoo sincerely apologized and bowed his head, prompting Michuhol, who had been glaring at him sharply, to nod and add.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s not that we don’t like you, mister. It’s just that around here, if a weakling has a title, they don’t get any respect.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Yeongwoo’s apologetic demeanor disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How do you know I’m a weakling?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the very first day of the reset, Yeongwoo had been surrounded and slapped by people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For him, being called a ‘weakling’ was practically a trigger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well… you’ve been acting like one this whole time….”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Michuhol shrugged with a nonchalant expression, the shirtless tattooed man suddenly pulled a gun from his waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whoa?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This damn lunatic!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The atmosphere heated up instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in that moment, Yeongwoo was pointing the ‘gun’ at the three Strongest Sword in turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Evil Meter」- Mythological Tool\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【You can see the target’s level of evil deeds.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【20% increased reduction of evil deeds due to good deeds】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the problem was…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘What the… they’re actually pretty good guys.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The evil deed levels of the three Strongest Sword were only around 200 to 300.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Michuhol’s level was even as low as 12.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, mister?
