《Descent of the Demon God》Chapter 19: The Change of Guest and Owner (4)
Advertisement
The 40th floor of Six Road Toys building.
The top floor was where the president of the office was located, his own dedicated space.
Someone was answering the call at the desk of the president’s office which boasts a luxurious interior exceeding the 36th floor.
A dark-skinned bald man in his early fifties, the president of Six Road Toys. Yeom Ki-seop.
Like Yun Mun-peyong, he was dispatched to this place and a person who reached Superior Master level.
Judging by the thickness of the upper body and the arms, he looked exceptionally bulked, he looked like he trained physically too.
“What? We got an emergency order from the head office?”
-… I think you should come down and see.
“I get it.”
-See you at my office.
Click!
With those words, Yun Mun-peyong hung up the call.
As a result, the expression of Yeom Ki-seop was distorted.
He was annoyed with the attitude of the director, who had hung up the call on the president.
Bang!
He slammed his fist on the desk and muttered.
“Damn it! He seems to have forgotten who the boss is. I don’t understand the intention of the head office to put the safe installed in Director Yun’s office and not mine!”
The safe was usually placed in the head’s office.
However, some of the affiliates made it installed in the director or other executive’s office.
This action made him feel less like the boss.
“… look at his words. I won’t believe it unless it is from the direct line of the head office.”
President shook his head.
Originally, he was the president of Essex Toys, a small business other than Blade Six.
In old Murim, it would be something like Fist of Sea King.
The reason he was the president of Six Road Toys, an affiliate of Blade Six, is that his company had merged with the company which is the largest conglomerate in Murim.
“In the end, this is the boss of public opinion.”
Blade Six is a popular pro-social enterprise.
As such, it takes a lot of performance measures to keep themselves in the same position.
In the end, that was the reason why Ki-seop was appointed as the president of the merged company and the president of the current affiliate too.
“Haa.”
He had no choice but to follow the head office’s decisions.
When he was transferred to here, he had a small glimmer of hope that the safe would be in the president’s office.
Click!
He opened the door of his office and came out.
When the president appeared, all the secretaries stood up.
“No need. Sit.”
“If you are moving, we will accompany you sir.”
It was natural for the assistants to move around along with the president.
However, Yeom Ki-seop waved his hand and said,
“Director Yun has an urgent report, so I am heading down.”
“Ahh…”
The secretaries nodded in agreement.
They roughly know how the company worked.
There were rumors circulating that the real power was in the hands of the director.
‘These people!’
The president was even more annoyed with their attitude.
These people hurt his pride more than the words of the director, so he just decided to move alone, but from a certain moment, the secretaires too knew that the president had no power in his hand.
Thu!
He went out and pressed the elevator button.
Soon, the elevator from the 36th floor arrived on the 40th floor.
This too makes a lot of sense, this elevator too was supposed to be used by only the president, but now he was sharing this with the director too.

‘Dog shit bastard. Let me catch you.’
He hoped that the director would make one big mistake at least once.
So that he could use it as a way to sabotage the director.
The president had the confidence to apply pressure on the matter if he could find the mistake as he was superior in every level.
Ding-dong!
While he mumbled, he arrived on the 36th floor.
After passing through the usual hallway and arriving at the front of the secretary's office, he saw two familiar faces.
“Ah! President!”
A man wearing a coat took his sunglasses off and said hello.
And a young man with shaggy pants and a spot on his face bowed.
‘He called them too?’
The president was displeased.
He knew them.
Not the man in his early thirties, but the ugly one with the sunglasses.
A hidden team which carried out secret missions by the directive of the headquarters.
‘I told them to refrain from entering and leaving the office because of the eyes which see them, but they ignore my words.’
These people weren’t the employees of the company.
It was risky to call these two into the company.
“It has been a while, team leader Ho.”
Ki-seop smiled.
But actually sent a message.
[I told you to refrain from coming and leaving the company in broad daylight, didn’t the director tell you?]
At that, Ho Jeong sent another message.
[No. I did hear. But this time I had no choice but to come.]
Ho Jeong showed the case bag.
President Ki-seop frowned.
He couldn’t have not known that.
‘Antidote!’
Director Yun had a dirty way of doing things.
Which was why the performance of people he brought was higher than others.
‘Right, weren’t we getting a new member to the team today? It must have been difficult to use the One Time’s since the team member number 3.’
These teams, the people in them had higher skills than normal Murim warriors.
Most of the people with clean records were brought in and then selected, and there were many who had extremely high self-esteem.
Even those people turned obedient to director Yun.
Starting with One Time’s, the nano bombs planted in their bodies made it impossible for them to not give in.
[That, president. The director said it was urgent, can we enter first?]
They were about to enter the office.
At those words, the president nodded and said.
“I too have something to say with Director Yun, so let’s go together.”
“Yes, sir.”
It didn’t matter since the president knew what was happening.
When he entered the secretary’s office, the female employees stood and greeted them.
Even if he didn’t have power, he still had the title.
“President, why are yo…”
“Director Yun called me. didn’t he tell you?”
“Uh? No. we didn’t hear anything. He is in an interview right now.”
At those words, the president clicked his tongue.
He called and didn’t even bother informing the secretary.
Yeom Ki-seop didn’t know who the boss was.
“It seems like director Yun had forgotten. This happens a lot, right?”
In his words, the secretaries were at a loss of what to do.
Of course, if the president went in, the director would be angry.
“I will inform the director right now that you are here. Just a seco…”
“No. he called me for the interview so I will head in. Kuam!”
“Ah…”
With that, the president began to walk.

Realising how he must be feeling, the secretaries stayed silent not saying anything, and decided to call the director and inform him.
Click!
The president opened the door and entered the office.
After that, Ho Jeong and Geum Jong-so.
Geum Jong-si, the last one, closed the door.
‘Since the antidote isn’t given, the injection wasn’t given right>’
His only purpose here was to know the password of the safe.
He saw the director unlock the secret door when he was given the injection.
Director Yun’s office was quite large, so they would have to walk through a small hallway.
‘Hmm.’
There was a presence of three people inside.
The president, Yeom Ki-seop clicked his tongue.
Starting from the breath of one person, the unstable energy of one.
‘No matter how much I say, he ends up using it too much.’
The smell of blood was clear.
As soon as he passed the hallway, his footsteps stopped.
“Wh-what the hell is this?”
He couldn’t hide his dismay.
As he entered the corner and turned left, he saw a severed arm lying on the floor next to Yun Mun-pyeong.
‘Did he cut off an arm? Is the director out of his bloody mind…?’
The face of the president hardened as he turned his head and looked at the sofa.
He doubted his own eyes.
It was the same for those behind him.
“Di-Director!”
Shockingly, the arm of the director was cut off.
It was hard to guess what happened.
At that moment, the director shouted.
“Ho Jeong! The-the antidote!”
His usual arrogant and confident appearance erased all their doubts.
However, the cold sweat and bloodshot eyes didn’t seem good.
‘What? Did he…’
Geum Jong-so’s eyes widened.
He saw a young man with long hair and historical clothes seated on the sofa.
It was Chun Yeowun.
‘It is him!’
The one he was supposed to investigate.
Even if he didn’t remember the face, the clothes were all he needed to identify him.
‘The person I had to investigate the new recruit?’
But the situation was weird.
It was completely opposite of what anyone would think.
Director Yun Mun-pyeong shouted to them, who were all dumbfounded with the situation they were witnessing.
“What the fuck are you doing! Give me the damn antidote!”
“Y-yes sir!”
Team leader Ho Jeong was at a loss of words.
He knelt next to the sofa where the arm was cut off.
‘Damn it!’
Click!
I hesitated for a moment, but he had the antidote so he tried to open the case, but president Yeom Ki-seop stopped him.
‘Why?’
To the puzzled him, the president shook his head and asked.
“What happened, Director Yun?”
The others couldn’t see, but his lips had a subtle smile.
He was happy that the director was suffering!
‘He always behaved so arrogantly!’
He desperately wanted the director to make a mistake, and now his wish was granted.
It was fun until he looked at Chun Yeowun.
‘Hm, the energy…’
It was just Super Master level.
However, the fact that Yun Mun-pyeong, a Superior Master was like this, meant that the energy was concealed.
‘Probably the same level or higher.’
He couldn’t think that a person who looked to be in early twenties was beyond that.
And thought that if two people could work together, this young one could be suppressed.
‘Well, I don't think that is necessary. If he had taken the One Time’s.’
At that when Yun Mun-pyeong yelled.
“What are you doing? Ho Jeon! Give me the bloody antidote!”
If he looked at it, surely the director was his supervisor and the antidote had to be given, but it seemed dangerous to give it without knowing what happened.
That was when President Yeom Ki-seop said.
“Stop it. Director Yun. I know you are troubled. Trying to use the antidote on you because you just got caught by him, your judgement must be seriously messed up.”
“Wh-what are you even saying?”
“Stay still. You are making a fuss over things which will resolve naturally over time.”
At those words, the director frowned.
‘This… this bastard…’
Apparently, the president misunderstood the situation.
He is thinking that Chun Yeowun is poisoned.
Although his pride hurt, he was running out of time, with full strength Yun Mun-pyeong said.
Whoo!
“It isn’t him!”
“Isn’t him! Your arm is cut off and now you suddenly act like…”
“I have taken the poison!”
“What?”
The president who was smiling, when stiff.
He thought that Chun Yeowun was poisoned, but this was absurd.
“What nonsense…”
It was then.
Shhh!
“Ack!”
The case Ho Jeong was holding fell out.
And then it moved and fell in front of director Yun.
Tuk!
“Ho-how?”
Ho Jeong was shocked as he looked at Chun Yeowun.
He was the only one who must have done it.
“T-thank you! Senior!”
Click!
Thanking Chun Yeowun, director Yun opened the case and took out the brown syringe and pushed it into his thigh.
“Haa…”
His anxious face resolved with that.
It was a situation where if he was one minute late, the poison would have started to spread through his body.
‘Damn it!’
The eyes of the president who recognized the danger, turned bitter.
This man had to be subdued.
Ki-seop shouted.
“I move ahead, so you support me!”
Phat!
As soon as he said that, he approached Chun Yeowun who was sitting on the sofa.
Jjkk!
As soon as he raised his arm, the jack swelled up revealing his strong muscles.
‘Suppression at once.’
Knowing that the opponent is of the same level, he had to move fast and one step ahead.
A blue light shone from Yeom Ji-seop’s fist.
Fist Ki.
‘The 7th technique of Fist of Sea King’s!’
His hand went for Chun Yeowun aiming to kill him.
Since he was doing the first attack, he thought that the opponent would do something.
But it was strange.
‘Why is he still…’
It was then.
Chun Yeowun sat and only raised his palm and lowered.
Kwang!
“Ack!”
An unimaginable energy pressed down his body.
‘Wh-what energy!’
This wasn’t something that he could endure.
Both the knees of the president dug into the office marble floor.
“Kuak!”
Trmble!
It was no use trying to stand up.
It was then he knew.
‘He isn’t of Superior Master level.’
What kind of a Superior Master could do this to a person of the same level with a single gesture?
This is only possible with overwhelming capabilities.
“Wh-who are you?”
At that question, Chun Yeowun said something else.
“Thank you for coming this close to me.”
“What?”
Puck!
“Ack!”
Something touched his neck.
Like something was being injected into his body.
“Wh-what are you doing!”
Flustered, Yeon Ki-seop wanted to shake it off, but he couldn’t.
And then, it fell.
‘!!!’
Seeing what fell, the president went stiff and scared.
‘This…’
The nano bomb syringe.
The blue liquid in the syringe was empty.
‘Uh, how… the injection?’
It is supposed to be in the safe.
He was too flustered to even say anything, but then he heard someone laugh.
‘…?’
That person was Yun Mun-pyeong, the director, who was kneeling near the sofa.

Come with me to travel and discover all this in... Magic x Magic... - - / - Hey, guys! I want to tell everyone that I managed to recreate a text structure that satisfied me. Finding this new structural formula, I proceeded to rewrite all the released chapters (0000~0048). Rewriting the chapters, I would like to make it clear that; 1 The basis of the story will not change. Only a few small details will be changed, so that those readers who do not want to re-read the chapters will not be harmed in following the story. 2 Those interested in starting over will be rewarded with the introduction of new POVs of some already established plots from the already released chapters. And as I said before, the entire story already developed will not change. Treat this as a way of enriching some plots and backstories for some characters. 3 I decided to bring some plots that would only appear after finishing the first arc. These storylines don't have a development in this arc, but they are storylines that are happening at the same time as the events of the first arc. So there are some more mysteries to reward those who will re-read the novel. Rewrite Update:New Reading Aid Rule: Incomplete.Prologue to Book 01 (Arc 01): Incomplete.Rewritten Chapters: 0000. I want to warn you that for now the chapters are being released gradually, don't give up on me... For more details visit my Patreon page, you can find details about me and the novel 'Magic x Magic' in public posts. A big hug to everyone!Cover art by me, ScanLi.
