Return To Level Up

The invitation was about the size of three palms side by side.

The envelope was sealed, but instead of just sealing it, it was sealed using magic.

As you can see, the material of the envelope is also unique.

It was as if manastone powder had been mixed in when making it. Magical energy was uniformly permeated throughout the envelope.

I could see how much effort was put into making this invitation.

No one could open it, only you could open it.

And therein lies the power of the system.

“Is it really that great?”

As Ha-jin Kang muttered to himself, Myung In-hyuk and Yoon Kyung-min, who heard the words, lit up their eyes.

“Is that invitation that great?”

Hajin Kang nodded his head and opened the envelope.

Inside the envelope was a card, and the card, like the envelope, was intertwined with manastone powder and the power of the system.

The content of the card was not long.

There was only one word to invite and a time and place written on it.

But that wasn't all.

Hajin Kang poured a little bit of magic into the card.

Then a golden letter appeared on it.

Defenders.

Kang Ha-jin looked at the word and smiled.

Perhaps the word they originally wanted to use was obviously Guardian.

But that was because Hajin Kang had already taken the lead, so they had no choice but to use a different name.

‘By the way, this is also fast.’

Ha-jin Kang knew the place written on the invitation very well.

It was a place that Ha-jin Kang had often visited before.

Before returning, he was in a hotel owned by William, who was one of the Guardians.

It was not a public hotel.

It was a secret hotel that only the chosen ones could use, and all sorts of strange things happen inside.

It was a place where you could do anything you wanted, and where strict secrecy was kept.

Judging from the selection of the location, it seems that William and Jason had already met and held hands.

“Who gave you this?”

At Ha-jin Kang's question, Kyung-min Yoon shook her head.

“It lay on my desk with a note. This is a note.”

Ha-jin Kang checked the memo handed to him by Kyung-min Yoon.

From the gathering to save the planet.

That was what was written in the memo. It was written in Korean very kindly.

Ha-jin Kang smiled and held out her invitation to Kyung-min Yoon.

She said Yoon Kyung-min quickly received it and checked it. Myung In-hyuk, who was next to him, also put his face on and looked at the invitation.

“Is the place… England?”

Kyung-min Yoon continued to look at the invitation and Ha-jin Kang alternately.

“And the person who sent this, Jason, is the one I know, right?”

Jason was quite famous.

There were more of these regulars in America than in any other country, and he was the leader of these regulars.

He also always took the lead in stopping dungeon-related incidents in America.

“I don’t know. But isn't that likely to happen?”

Yoon Kyung-min looked at Kang Ha-jin with eyes full of anticipation.

“Are you sure you want to attend?”

"I do not know."

He spoke as if contemplating, but in his heart he had already made a decision. Of course I will go.

I'm going to go check out how much Jason is now and how powerful the people around him are.

We also need to find out how different the people around Jason are from before the return.

Ji Chang-ki is dead and Jo Won-yeong is half-destroyed, so another person will fill the vacancy between the two.

I wondered who it was.

It was likely that he would be one of the former Guardians.

The Guardians, who were active before the return, were not the only seven people fighting at the forefront centering on Ha-jin Kang.

The number of supporters who helped them was enormous, and there were many awakeners who fought together to close the huge dungeon.

The number of companies and families involved in the Guardian was also amazing.

So, if you wanted to hire talented people from among them, you could choose as many as you want.

It was the Team Guardians where the strong but rich Awakened swarmed.

The stress that Ji Chang-ki and Jo Won-young received in the gap is indescribable.

Fortunately, Jo Won-young was better than Ji Chang-gi.

Still, there was a buff potion developed by the Jeyoung group.

The Jeyoung group provided the Guardians with a special buff potion. It was a buff potion that was not sold because the production was too small.

Also, Jo Won-young didn't want to get caught, so he fought with poison.

The highest level of the Guardians was Jason, but the second level was Cho Wonyoung. Ji Chang-gi was third by a narrow margin than Jo Won-young.

Anyway, those Guardians have now been transformed into Defenders and came out into the world.

The reason they invited Ha-jin Kang was very clear.

‘Are you trying to recruit me? There's no reason to do that yet, right?'

But no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn't think of anything other than that.

When Ha-jin Kang was thinking like that, Kyung-min Yoon, who rose as soon as her body was hot, said.

“What are you so worried about? Of course you have to attend.”

Having said this, I suddenly wondered.

“Are you aware of anything?”

“I just heard some rumors.”

“Rumors?”

“A man named Jason started a group, and he said it included some of the world’s most wealthy people.”

"Ok?"

“It is not certain. But I think the chances are very high.”

As Ha-jin Kang looked at him as if to keep talking, Kyung-min Yoon was more excited and continued.

“Do you know how much of a help it can be in the future just by exchanging business cards with such people?”

Kang Ha-jin looked at Yoon Kyung-min with strange eyes.

“Isn’t that what you’re going to go with?”

Yoon Kyung-min's eyes grew as bright as a candle.

“Are you going to go alone?”

The cry of how he could do that was contained in his tone, expression, and eyes.

If he said he would go here alone, he thought he would be trash.

“Let’s go together. The invitation doesn't say how many people can go, but who's going to say I'll take it? If you say no, just come back. I have no regrets.”

“I am sorry. If you don't, I'll grab you from your pants."

At Yoon Kyung-min's resolute words, Kang Ha-jin shook his head.

* * *

“How did this happen...?”

Hajin Kang was now in England. And from the back, Kyung-Min Yoon was following along with a happy expression on her face.

There were two people walking side by side with Yoon Kyung-min, one was Hwang Soo-Young and the other was Jeong A-Yeon.

To be honest, I had no intention of bringing Su-yeong Hwang and A-yeon Jeong.

No, they were not brought by Ha-jin Kang.

The two met in England.

Hwang Soo-young and Jeong A-yeon were also invited by Jason.

I don't know if it's a coincidence or if it's Yoon Kyung-min's separate hand, but anyway, we met on the way and have been together ever since.

Kang Ha-jin's original plan was to go to his destination, a hotel, as soon as he arrived.

However, after meeting those two, the purpose has changed to tourism.

We thought for a moment that we would just go to the hotel alone, but we decided to just go together.

From the moment you enter the hotel, you will be monitored for every move you make.

There are wiretapping and voyeur equipment everywhere, so you have to be careful with your words and actions at all times.

So, if you have something to say, do it before you arrive at the hotel.

I came to England very often before returning, so I didn't feel new wherever I went.

However, unlike back then, it was a little new for his people to be together.

Ha-jin Kang was not vigilant even while sightseeing like that.

He constantly looked around. I wondered if Jason didn't attach a person or if the informants who were commissioned were following him.

Fortunately, no one has been suspicious so far.

But he was never vigilant. Probably because it was Jason's or William's way of secretly reaching out a hand at the moment he thought that he wasn't going to do anything special.

When Ha-jin Kang was so focused, the three people in the back were deciding the next course.

“Where shall we go now?”

Hwang Soo-young raised her hand in response to Jeong-in's question.

“A museum! Isn’t there a very famous museum in England?”

Then, Kyung-min Yoon made a sad expression.

“Unfortunately I can't go there right now.”

"Yes? why?"

“It was closed.”

“Are you closing? Maybe because of the dungeon?”

"no. It is now under special management.”

“Special management?”

“Many items were found among the artifacts displayed in the museum.”

"really? Then, shouldn't we also investigate the ruins and museums in Korea?”

“Of course I did the research. But unfortunately, there is no such thing in our country. The appraisers said they checked it several times.”

“Then what about other famous museums?”

“The Louvre in France is also currently under special management. And something similar happened in a few museums, but not to the point of special maintenance.”

“Anyway, it’s a shame. It would be interesting to see what the items are.”

“All items have been retrieved from the UK government and stored separately. The reason for special maintenance is that some of the relics and artworks still there are turned into items.”

“You’re turning into an item?”

"Yes. I don't know why. Well, I can only guess that it was because of the dungeon that appeared nearby.”

“So, I’m more curious. Is there any way to sneak in?”

Ha-jin Kang, who was walking in the lead, heard that he stopped and turned around.(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

“Maybe, if we ask the person who invited us, he might even listen to that.”

At Ha-jin Kang’s words, everyone opened their eyes and looked at him.

“Is he such a great person?”

“Awesome.”

To be precise, it wasn't Jason who invited them, but William who provided the place. At least in the UK.

William appointed the president of the British Awakened Society.

Hwang Soo-young and Jeong A-yeon suddenly took the lead and started walking.

“Where are you going?”

Yoon Kyung-min, startled, quickly followed the two of them and asked.

“Where are you? I'm going home. I'm going to go ask you politely. It doesn't wear out just by looking at it, right? Could you please not listen?”

In the end, the tour schedule for the day ended with one word about the museum.

* * *

“This is the first time I've seen a hotel so different from the outside.”

Jung-ah-yeon also nodded her head in agreement with Hwang Soo-young's words.

“Honestly, I didn’t even know it was a hotel from the outside.”

"Me too."

The two met each other as usual.

“Anyway, I'm really looking forward to what the room will look like.”

They all decided to stay in one room. I could have shared a room alone, but I didn't

In the case of other guests, it is common to bring in dozens of attendants, so the room was too large for only four people to stay.

Nevertheless, the hotel said that they shared a room, so they allocated a spacious room among them.

The party who entered the room was overwhelmed by its size and splendor.

Except for Hajin Kang, of course.

Each time Ha-jin Kang came to this hotel before returning, the room he stayed in was just twice the room he was assigned to.

I wrote it by myself, so I had no reason to be surprised at this level.

After seeing and enjoying the facilities of the hotel, everyone gathered in the living room.

“Now, how do we get to meet the person who invited us?”

“You will find it on your own.”

As soon as Ha-jin Kang’s words fell, the doorbell rang.

Hwang Soo-young jumped up and ran to open the door.

Hajin Kang only turned his head to see the person standing in front of the door.

Two people were standing there.

It was a familiar face.

Finally, after returning, I met Jason and William.
