Author's POV
"Anyway, if he refuses, I'll just have to beat him and ask again," I conclude mentally, looking at Euijin Kyung.
"So? I'm waiting for your answer," Hanju asks, frowning.
"I can't make this decision alone, the others have to wake up and the absentees must be present too . agreed?", he says in a nervous voice.
"After Johan seong , Yun Jo and now hanju Gu . another tyrant will yet again control the district," thought Euijin Kyung, cursing their atrocious luck.
"Fine, contact everyone who's absent. I want them here and those who don't come, I'll deal with them later," Hanju answers, going to relax on one of the few chairs still functioning.
"The woman who was with Yun Jo disappeared, confirming that she was a card, precisely a cloud," Hanju says mentally, exhaling smoke while smoking.
Hanju would have liked to recruit the cloud too but it seems that system objects disappear with their user.
"AI, are you waiting for me," he asks the artificial intelligence.
He wanted information about the many notification sounds he heard during his moment of rage against Yun Jo.
[Affirmative, I'm waiting for you host]
"Can you explain to me or give me a summary of the notifications I missed during my moment of rage?" Hanju calmly asks.
[Yes, I can give you a summary of your gains during this clash against the North Gangbuk]
"Excellent, then go ahead," Hanju quickly gave his approval since despite his injuries, he seems to be perfectly fine and he would even add that he feels stronger.
[Host, you were able to come into contact with Yun Jo's brainwashing card, so you were under his control but thanks to the data I have from your Hanju and Mikoto memories, I was able to help you a little]
It was an extremely unpleasant moment that Hanju does not want to remember so he asks the AI to get to the point.
[Host, I was able to analyze this brainwashing ability that Yun Jo possesses and thanks to your rage which caused a transcendence, I was able to obtain an update]
[And thanks to this update, I was not only able to complete the analysis of the brainwashing card but also of the mana drain card]
[Apart from these two cards, host, I must also congratulate you for exceeding the limit of your potential and reaching transcendence]
"Damn...", Hanju could only swear in front of this avalanche of information that the AI explains to him.
Not only has he become stronger himself but also he has been able to obtain the capacity of the cards he has coveted since he discovered that the AI could reproduce certain card capacities.
"Show me my statistics right now," Hanju asks, slightly overexcited.
[Unfortunately for now I cannot show you your statistics since the amount of energy or mana in you has increased drastically and despite the update, I could not keep up]
"How long do I have to wait for you to show me?" Hanju asks, frowning.
[24 hours should normally suffice]
Hanju was a little sad not to be able to see how much he was able to evolve but he was reassured to be able to know it later.
"Everyone has gathered," Euijin Kyung informs him while Hanju was lost in thought.

"I'll be brief since Euijin Kyung must have given you a little summary," Hanju says, looking at each person in the room.
"Who wants to join me or get smashed?", as soon as he finished these words, everyone showed their enthusiasm to follow him except Daniel.
"Daniel, do you have a problem?", Hanju asks, approaching him.
"Yes, I only have one boss and he is currently in a coma. I am very grateful to you right now Hanju but I cannot join you," he says with a mixed expression.
"If I can heal your former boss, will you follow me?", he asks, looking Daniel in the eye.
"Yes, without hesitation," Daniel answers without the slightest doubt in his voice.
"So it's settled. I'm the new leader of the North Gangbuk and my first order is...", Hanju pauses, looking at all the North executives gathered in the room.
"...that the Gangbuk be unified by tomorrow evening. Oh! I forgot, if Johan Seong intervenes, call me at these numbers," he says, taking the path to the door.
"And for Yun Jo's body, just throw it in the trash, I know people who will take care of it," he says, walking away.
"Daniel, are you sure we can follow him?", Euijin Kyung asks, frowning behind his sunglasses.
"You heard him, didn't you? He said he can help the boss," Daniel answers calmly.
"I have to redeem myself for abandoning him and Haru," Daniel says, leaving the room in turn, leaving Euijin Kyung and the others.

"Boss, I'll need your help," Hanju says calmly on the phone while leaving Yun Jo's base which is now his base.
"You haven't even really started working at my agency yet but you're already asking me for services, kid," Tom Lee's voice echoes on the phone.
"If you don't like it, then I'll be a client," Hanju answers, crossing the road.
"There you go, now you're speaking my favorite language. I'm listening," Tom Lee says calmly, seeming satisfied to have a client.
"I'd like you to get rid of a body for me...", Hanju explains the whole situation with Yun Jo to him but obviously changing the story.
"Alright, just send me the address and the body will disappear by morning," Tom Lee assures as if it were nothing serious.
Author's POV ( Tom lee )
"Are you waiting for him, Kim?", Tom Lee asks with a huge smile on his face.
"Our new recruit is not a tenderhearted kid," he says, laughing towards the end.
Tom Lee was satisfied with Hanju. Not only is he as promising as Johan but unlike Johan, he is not afraid to get his hands dirty.
"He's probably like me, he loves money," he mentally says.
"I think I'm going to have to have a long talk with Hansu Seong about his new student," Manager Kim says dryly, a little disappointed with his friend.
"You're always unpleasant and a hypocrite, my dear employee. Listening to you, one would think you are a saint or that you've never killed anyone," Tom Lee answers, getting up from his armchair.
"You heard it, didn't you? We have work to do and a client to satisfy," Tom Lee declares, leaving the office in a good mood.
"I only hope Hansu didn't teach him all of his art because this kid looks dangerous," Kim thinks, following his boss.
