I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 188
Gale Slayer (1)
Arab Republic of Egypt.
The current president was racking his brains over the monsters that had recently appeared.
Middle Eastern wars?
The Ethiopian Nile River dam issue?
Desertification due to climate change?
Such things were trivial problems compared to those terrifying monsters.
– The one with the golden scythe keeps rampaging!
– It’s a terrifying monster! Egyptian rankers absolutely cannot handle it! We need world ranker support!
– It doesn’t discriminate between people or monsters! It seems to absorb them after cutting them down!
– I-Its body has grown even larger!
This was news that came in daily.
There wasn’t even just one of them.
– Another one has appeared at the eastern border of Libya!
– This is terrible! In the central city of Minya too, and in the eastern Libyan city of Tobruk as well… There’s simply no answer to this situation!
– How can there be no solution?
– Another city has collapsed!
– Citizens are fleeing the country. They’re crossing over in droves to Africa and Europe! At this rate, the collapse of the nation will happen in an instant!
Bad news from various regions never ceased.
It was a situation that absolutely could not be stopped with their nation’s power alone.
If they could just hold out a little longer, they might receive help from Europe… but the situation was too urgent to just wait.
At this rate?
He might have to step down from the position he’d held for 10 years.
And what awaited after that might very well be death.
What was the fate of dictators?
There was no peaceful retirement.
The highest probability was being secretly eliminated by a new leader.
“Huh.”
In other words.
As president, he had to resolve this crisis somehow.
There was exactly one method.
‘Baek Jin-woo.’
He could invite him like Portugal did.
No matter what price he had to pay.
At that moment.
Knock knock.
His secretary entered and delivered new information.
“This is insider information from the Korean side! SKY is looking for another country to support after Portugal.”
“Oh, really?!”
The president shot up from his seat.
This was good news.
Please let it be Egypt!
“What kind of conditions are they looking for in a country? Is there any more detailed information?”
Since his life was at stake, the president’s voice was desperate.
“Well… the conditions are a bit unusual.”
“Unusual?”
“Yes, they do go to whoever offers high-value compensation, but they don’t accept assets for public benefit purposes for the country, only private assets…”
“What kind of nonsense is that?”
“So… it seems like they’re saying they won’t accept money mixed with the blood and tears of civilians for external appearances.”
“What kind of hypocritical…”
“They are a group that the whole world is watching, after all.”
“Hah.”
Suddenly his head started aching again.
“First, call the Prime Minister and all the ministers.”
An emergency meeting was needed.
Yubaek Executive Office.
“Phew.”
Yu Ji-a let out a light sigh.
She was the one who had spread the rumor under the guise of insider information.
She had released it specifically to Egypt only.
‘The answer is already decided anyway.’
Baek Jin-woo was going to help Egypt.
Because the golden scythe monster he was looking for was over there.
But?
He couldn’t just go for free.
While going, he had to extract as much as possible.
‘Egypt’s leader, Abdel Farsha.’
Personally, she had no ill feelings toward him.
Being criticized for harsh political oppression, suppression of freedom of expression and the press, military regime, etc.
These were things commonly seen in any country.
Rather, there were certainly aspects where he received good evaluations for driving out Islamic extremism and strengthening secularism.
But just one thing.
‘He has a lot of private property.’
She had investigated with the cooperation of their allied nation England’s MI6.
For a republican president who should be a public official, he possessed quite a lot.
Gold, real estate around the world, and so on.
The assessment was that he was closer to an authoritarian dictator than a clean politician.
A person who only filled his own belly while the citizens suffered.
‘This needs to be cleaned out.’
Clean it all out.
If even just half were distributed to people in need, wouldn’t this world become a little more beautiful?
It would be good for our guild’s image too.
Hehe.
Cairo, the capital of Egypt.
Abdin Palace.
An emergency meeting was held there.
“Bolivia prepared 100 million dollars.”
“Sweden is 500 million dollars.”
“…Why do they have so much money?”
“I don’t know.”
“Ha, even if I were SKY, I’d choose the country that gives more money.”
“That’s the problem. There are way too many countries that need Baek Jin-woo.”
“We’re the ones in a hurry! Can’t other countries just use decent world rankers?”
“It’s all political. Don’t you know? Just bringing Baek Jin-woo into the country right now would skyrocket public sentiment.”
“Ha.”
Hard to believe, but it was true.
SKY’s popularity was soaring worldwide without exception.
“Now we have to choose.”
Finally, the president muttered while massaging his head.
Including herself, the Prime Minister and ministers here all have substantial accumulated wealth.
Should they boldly invest that to restore public sentiment?
Or give that up and throw away their lives?
Actually, the answer is simple.
Life is more precious than any wealth in the world.
Without it, everything becomes meaningless.
“Finance Minister.”
“Yes!”
Ahmed answered immediately.
“How much would we get if we dispose of all the real estate we bought under borrowed names?”
“…At market price, roughly 1 billion dollars, in a fire sale about 800 million dollars.”
An immediate answer came from his mouth as if prepared.
By the way.
They really made off with a lot.
1 billion dollars is almost 1.3 trillion won in Korean currency.
“How much do you think we should offer, Minister?”
“…I’m anxious. There are so many participating countries.”
That’s the biggest issue.
What if they bid too low and lose to other countries?
Then there’s really no answer.
“Especially the Netherlands is serious. They could easily offer 800 million dollars or more.”
“Ah.”
Right.
The wealthiest royal family in Europe.
King Alexander of the Netherlands.
Real estate, art pieces, investment assets, and so on.
Being a king, he’s someone who officially owns all that.
“In terms of wealth, we’re not behind either. It’s just unofficial.”
“That’s right.”
“Hmm.”
The President asked for the ministers’ opinions with a groan.
Everyone agreed.
If they’re going to pay, they should pay big and decisively.
The President, who had been pondering, also nodded.
“Sell all the real estate in a fire sale. We’ll offer 800 million dollars.”
If they get through this crisis well, it’s money they can earn again.
Being greedy over small amounts could lead to great harm.
‘If we’re going to do it, we’ll do it properly.’
About two days later.
Late evening.
An urgent official document from Egypt flew to SKY.
With a [Top Secret] label, they definitely sent someone to deliver it.
Yu Ji-a quickly received and opened it.
The thing she’d been waiting for most.
Rustle!
As she unfolded the paper.
“Huh.”
She was startled.
‘What’s this 800 million dollars?’
Have these guys gone crazy?
No, did they even have that money to begin with?
Yu Ji-a clicked her tongue.
She’d heard through the intelligence agency that they had a lot of private assets, but never dreamed it would be this much.
Actually, the country that bid the most was around 100 million dollars.
Even that’s tremendous.
130 billion won in Korean currency.
Does it make sense for an individual, not even a country, to generously offer that much?
“They must have really made off with a lot all this time.”
Reading the official document, some things that can’t be processed will be given as real estate.
Well.
She’ll coolly accept that much.
‘Good thing I spread the rumor.’
It was just bait she threw out lightly, but she caught a big fish.
She’ll cleanly accept it and release half for the civilians of that country as originally planned.
Naturally under SKY’s name.
Usually when things are going well, you need to manage your image properly.
Especially if it’s Baek Jin-woo’s work.
Beep!
Just then, a call comes from him.
“Yeah, Jin-woo. I found them. Yeah. You can go straight from there to Egypt. They’re in cities called Minya and Tobruk, if you go there they’ll guide you well. Still, shouldn’t we receive something?”
As if to prove they’re a couple.
He seems to have had similar thoughts.
“Don’t worry about that part. I’ve handled it well.”
Minya, a central Egyptian city.
This place, one of the country’s major agricultural centers, became desolate at some point.
– Kiaaaaa!
The reaper wandering that place.
It was because of the Soul Reaper.
“Sob sob.”
“Huh huh sob!”
On the city outskirts, there are more than a few people shedding tears and sobbing.
Thousands have already died.
There were no survivors left in the city center.
Those who lost family couldn’t leave their hometown and wandered around the outskirts.
– Kiaaaaaaa!
In the distance.
When the Soul Reaper’s sound was heard, people trembled in fear and quietly hid themselves.
A city with nothing left.
But the citizens had one hope.
“Baek Jin-woo is coming.”
“…Baek Jin-woo? The world’s number 1?”
“He’s coming to eliminate that damn reaper!”
“Really?”
“And SKY is giving money for the livelihood of those who were originally city residents? They’re even rebuilding some buildings?”
“Why…?”
“I don’t know either. How would I understand the thoughts of those high up?”
“…Has Muhammad himself manifested?”
And at that moment.
– Kiruuuuuuuu!
A wyvern’s roar was heard from the sky above.
“Huh?”
“No way, already!”
People who had been hiding came out one by one and tilted their heads back.
A Sky Wyvern visible far up in the sky.
Anyone could recognize at a glance that it was Baek Jin-woo.
“Waaaaaaah!”
“It’s Baek Jin-woo!”
“He really came to save us!”
“Please get rid of that reaper!”
At the same time.
The red-haired girl who jumped down from the wyvern gave them a special experience.
Pokryong Arts.
Secret technique.
Annihilation.
Kuwaaaaaaaaa!
The red dragon spreads its wings wide as it descends and breathes out its breath.
Simultaneously.
– Kiaaaaaaaaaaa!
The spot where the Soul Reaper had been exploded.
That day.
A legend of the red dragon was born in Minya.
In the Libyan city of Tobruk as well.
Pokryong Arts.
Secret technique.
Annihilation.
The method was exactly the same.
Baek Jin-woo flew in on a wyvern and delivered a one-shot kill with Pokryong.
The one in Tobruk was especially huge, almost as big as a five-story apartment building…
But before the Pokryong Faction, it was nothing more than kindling.
It vanished along with the flames.
[Baek Jin-woo’s incredible rampage! From Portugal to Egypt and Libya!]
[【Video】 Red dragon’s breath, on-site footage revealed!]
[SKY Guild steps up to support victims! Is this truly the dignity of the world’s top guild?]
Media from various countries poured out reports.
Journalists were having a field day these days.
How convenient was it that Baek Jin-woo kept producing scoops?
└ Wow, is Jinugod really a god?
└ This is the dignity befitting the world’s top player. This is what beautiful wealth redistribution looks like.
└ Dignity aside, what’s with that video? Does that even make sense?
└ No matter how I look at it, the Explosive Dragon Mage really seems overpowered. It’s just legendary. If that’s not S-rank, then what the hell is?
└ Honestly, I’d believe it if you said it was above S-rank.
Making money.
Building image.
Things were flowing exactly as Yu Ji-a wanted.
And.
There was someone else for whom things were flowing as desired.
[You clear the sudden Quest of ‘Gale Slayer’ (EX-rank)!]
That was none other than Baek Jin-woo.
