Shakira began speaking as soon as she came through the door .

“Kim Woo-jin, wasn’t it plastered all over the news that you’d died due to a terrorist attack?”

She asked a question without bothering to greet him first .

But Kim Woo-jin wasn’t fazed by the question .

‘Her personality is still the same . ’

Kim Woo-jin knew the personality of this woman named Shakira well .

That was natural .

After all, analyzing the characteristics of their prey was one of the basic skills of a good hunting dog .

Shakira’s question in Spanish was immediately translated to English and delivered to Kim Woo-jin by her interpreter . .

Kim Woo-jin answered in English .

“It was staged . It seemed that my movements would have been greatly restricted if I stayed ‘alive’ . ”

Shakira smiled .

“In other words, if I kill you here, there would be no repercussions, right? Since you’re already dead . ”

The interpreter looked shocked at Shakira’s words .

Was he supposed to translate that too?

“I want to speak to the Lightning King concerning Isaac Ivanov . ”

This time, Kim Woo-jin spoke without waiting for Shakira’s interpreter to translate .

“Oho, you can speak Spanish?”

As her interpreter was once again shocked by Shakira’s words, she sat in front of Kim Woo-jin, her eyes shining .

Sniff sniff!

As soon as she sat down, she began sniffing loudly .

“You don’t even smell sweaty . How the hell did you do that?”

Of course, she wasn’t asking that because she was curious about his deodorant .

She was questioning how Kim Woo-jin traveled through the Amazon Rainforest and managed to keep such a neat appearance .

Kim Woo-jin responded to her question simply .

“That’s just my constitution . ” (TL: alternatively ‘that’s just the way I’m built’)

“What an envious constitution . I sweat so much every day that I’m going crazy . ”

At that moment, Shakira gestured to one of her subordinates nearby .

Thud!

Then, that subordinate placed a large communication device on the table between Shakira and Kim Woo-jin .

“This is the only way for us to contact our boss . However, it’s really difficult to contact him as you need to use a password . And I’m the only one here who knows the password . So, what will you do now?”

“I just have to persuade you . ”

“That makes sense . ”

Shakira nodded, gesturing with her chin .

This meant that he should start talking .

And so Kim Woo-jin said .

“I heard the Lightning King only barters . ”

After the interpreter interpreted his words for Shakira, she nodded .

“And I heard that people can also be traded . ”

However, the following words caused Shakira’s expression to harden .

Because Kim Woo-jin said them in Spanish, not English .

“So if I offer Isaac Ivanov, what can we trade for?”

Instead of responding to him, Shakira picked up the satellite phone .

…

-Can I trade in kilograms?

The first question that came from the satellite phone was quite shocking, enough to make the listener hesitate .

But Kim Woo-jin responded without pause .

“You want Isaac Ivanov without one of his limbs?”

-You’re a funny guy .

Along with those words, faint laughter could be heard from the other end of the call .

Kim Woo-jin also gave a slight smile .

However, on the inside, Kim Woo-jin was quite cold .

‘Just like before this person is more like a snake than a human . ’

Kim Woo-jin knew that Hugh Fry, the man who was known as the Lightning King was someone who could rightly be described as evil .

For that person, words like ‘fairness’, ‘peace’, ‘human rights’ and ‘morals’ were just things that would help him achieve whatever it is he wanted .

Therefore, Kim Woo-jin was certain .

-So how do you intend to trade him? You’re trading him to me alive, right?

“The choice of which dungeon Isaac Ivanov attacks will be up to you . ”

-Can you explain it in more detail?

“Through me, you can send Isaac Ivanov to attack any dungeon of your choosing . You are basically purchasing the right to use the sword known as Isaac Ivanov . ”

That the ability to make use of the sword known as Isaac Ivanov would be incredibly attractive to the Lightning King .

-Would he attack any dungeon?

“That depends on the price . Isaac Ivanov won’t move for free . Instead, it should be attractive enough for him to want to attack the dungeon . ”

-So he will attack any dungeon I choose as long as the price is right?

“Yes . ”

-And how much do I have to pay?

“We accept anything . Items, cash, bonds, skill pages . If you give me poison skill pages I’d be sure to help you get a good deal . ”

The Lightning King was silent for a moment after listening to his explanation .

After a while, the Lightning King finally spoke .

-I’m not really interested .

Tuk .

And with those words, the Lightning King hung up without hesitation .

“Well!”

At the same time, Shakira, who had been standing in the corner, walked towards the door .

Then she opened it and pointed towards the sprawling landscape of the Amazon Rainforest .

“Adios!”

Go away .

When he saw this, Kim Woo-jin easily rose to his feet and walked to the door without a word of complaint .

Then he handed a note to Shakira and said .

“The deal remains valid . Please contact me on this number . ”

Shakira laughed as she received the note .

…

“So you just left?”

In a hotel in Fortaleza .

In this place which had been brilliant in the past but now looked more like an abandoned ruin, Kim Woo-jin recounted his meeting with the Lightning King .

“How unfortunate . ”

Lee Jin-ah clicked his tongue .

This reaction was natural .

After all, wasn’t this a situation where the agreement had fallen through?

“But it’s better this way . There’s no need for us to go into the Amazon Rainforest and suffer hardships . Let’s go to Sao Paulo, do some samba dancing, then return to Korea . ”

Moreover, Lee Jin-ah seemed to be very happy with that fact, to the point that he didn’t even try to hide it in front of Kim Woo-jin .

“Samba!”

However, Kim Woo-jin’s expression remained calm as he looked at Lee Jin-ah .

It was an expression that seemed to say that everything was going as he expected .

In fact, everything was going smoothly .

‘There’s no way he’d turn down a card he could use against the Messiah Guild . ’

There were many people in the world who hated the Messiah Guild .

Nevertheless, there was no force who dared to claim to be the Messiah Guild’s rival .

No one needed to think deeply to imagine how the Savior’s rival would be treated by the rest of the world .

That was the reason .

‘There is no Johann Georg this time . ’

That the King of Undead, Johann Georg, had been able to receive the support of countless people in the past .

Among them, the Lightning King was the King of Undead’s greatest supporter .

From what Kim Woo-jin knew, various skills and items, including the Summon Lich skill, had all been given to the King of Undead by the Lightning King .

‘He will definitely take the bait . ’

Kim Woo-jin had given the Lightning King the ability to control Isaac Ivanov .

There was no way he would give up such a chance .

Of course, he himself wouldn’t bite the bait .

“The Lightning King will definitely bite the bait . ”

“He won’t bite it, it’s already fallen through . ”

“Then shall we make a bet?”

“Bet?”

“I bet that I will receive a call by tomorrow morning . ”

Lee Jin-ah laughed at his words .

“Since you’re betting that you’ll receive a call, I’m betting that you won’t . ”

“If you win, I’ll buy you whatever you want to eat . ”

“Really?”

“On the other hand, if the call does come in, then you’re the one who has to buy . ”

“Sure!”

The moment he heard the bet, Lee Jin-ah’s thoughts began racing .

‘You’re finished . I’ll fill my stomach with caviar and foie gras!’

It was then .

Woowoong!

The phone in Kim Woo-jin’s hand began vibrating, and Kim Woo-jin answered right away .

“Yes, this is Kim Woo-jin . Yes, that’s good . Let’s meet up to confirm the details . ”

Then, after ending the short call, Kim Woo-jin spoke .

“I won . ”

“What?”

Lee Jin-ah’s rose an octave as he was shocked the bet had ended so quickly .

“What nonsense are you talking about?! Are you kidding me? You planned this with brother Se-chan didn’t you?!”

“It’s a simple matter to check if it’s real or not . In any case, you owe me a meal . ”

Lee Jin-ah looked at Kim Woo-jin in shock .

However, his shocked expression didn’t last very long .

“It’s been a while since I’ve had caviar . ”

The moment he heard those words, Lee Jin-ah’s face became white and shouted out loud .

“A-, are you serious?”

“I don’t play around with food . ”

With those words, Kim Woo-jin rose up from his seat .
