“...I’ll think about it.”

‘You’ll do it, you bastard.’

Jacob didn’t outright agree due to his pride, but Gerrity could already tell that he would sell this business and run away.

“He’s going to sell it? Is it a trap?”

Choi Yeonseung was puzzled. Of course, if this were a normal business, it would make sense to sell it. However, since a constellation had invested in this business, the household member couldn’t make the arbitrary decision to sell it.

“No. It seems pretty serious.”

Choi Yeonseung was convinced when he heard the report of the Dragon Industry staff member.

“Huh. Maybe this is why some people came by and asked me about it.”

Recently, clan leaders and high-ranking officials from abroad, whom Choi Yeonseung didn’t really know, had come to visit and made some subtle remarks he didn’t understand at the time.

-Hunter Choi Yeonseung, what do you think about the future of the monster taming business?

-Do you have any intention of taking it over?

-What if you took it over...?

Of course, Choi Yeonseung had told them that he had no such thoughts. He was planning to steal Jacob’s project, not take over the entire business…

“Well, it’s a good thing that we can solve this issue with money, right?”

Unlike the treasure house constellation, Choi Yeonseung wasn’t obsessed with wealth. To him, money was merely ammunition to fight the enemy.

“Then I will act.” Adaquaniel nodded.

“Jacob’s going to hate my guts. Won’t this be an issue?” asked Choi Yeonseung.

“Don’t worry about it.”

Hearing that, Choi Yeonseung realized that this outstanding angel already had a tactic to persuade Jacob.

‘As expected of Adaquaniel!’

“I will buy it under the name of another company so that he doesn’t realize your involvement,” explained Adaquaniel. “We’ve prepared a few companies for this.”

“...”

Choi Yeonseung was stunned by this unexpected method.

‘She’s incredible.’

***

Adaquaniel skilfully kept pushing and pulling. She offered a huge sum of money to the other party and pressured them by telling them that she would retract her offer if they didn’t respond quickly.

With everyone frightened by the rampage of the rock snake, Jacob was agitated and quickly finished the negotiations.

“But there is one problem.”

“?”

“Uhm... Jacob asked to be allowed to go under another constellation to stop the Greedy Owner of the Treasure House.”

“...”

-...

Jacob had said it in a roundabout manner, but his request was straightforward.

-I’m being threatened by a strange constellation, so I need some help...

The strange constellation was clearly the Greedy Owner of the Treasure House. Choi Yeonseung and the goddess of sloth shook their heads when they realized what the situation was.

‘It’s rare to find a constellation as pitiful as him… Humans keep making a fool out of him.”

The treasure house constellation had been cut off.

Choi Yeonseung was curious about how Jacob Parker had even managed to convince the treasure house constellation in the first place, but at the end of the day, con artists were frighteningly convincing when hearing them in person. It was surprisingly easy to get sucked into their scheme.

Jacob had most likely used the right words to get the treasure house constellation on board.

“Should I accept Jacob Parker as a household member?”

[The ‘Chef of Endless Gluttony’ says it is dangerous to accept this human when you’re still receiving the attention of other constellations.]

[He says he will accept this person into his household instead.]

Indeed, many constellations were currently trying to keep Choi Yeonseung in check. Thus, friction with the treasure house constellation could suddenly lead to a fight. On that note, it might be better to let the chef constellation accept Jacob instead.

However...

[The ‘Chef of Endless Gluttony’ says there is a problem with this method.]

[If he arbitrarily accepts someone like Jacob Parker, it will be a significant loss to the Undefeated Incarnation of Training...]

“...”

-...

“I’ll be fine, chef constellation.”

[The ‘Chef of Endless Gluttony’ wonders if it really is okay.]

[Even if you aren’t greedy by nature, you should still have a bit of greed.]

***

In some cases, the constellation didn’t immediately notice that their household member had betrayed them. Constellations observed and ruled over many kingdoms, so they naturally couldn’t monitor a single mortal.

As such, the Greedy Owner of the Treasure House noticed Jacob Parker’s betrayal a bit late.

What are you doing?What is this?

The treasure house constellation was puzzled to see that someone else had taken over his business. So far, he wasn’t angry. He assumed that Jacob had done this to get more money.

It was a shame that the business that could lay a golden egg had flown away, but he could tolerate it as long as it turned out profitable.

It was very unpleasant to have his household member behave like this, but as long as it made money…

[The ‘Chef of Endless Gluttony’ warns you not to mess with his household member.]

...????

At this point, the treasure house constellation started to grasp the truth.

There was no way… Surely…

It was impossible!

-Master, that human bastard has deceived you…

Shut up!It can’t be!Earth’s humans might be greedy and cunning, but they aren’t cocky enough to do such crazy things…!

The treasure house constellation didn’t want to accept reality, but that didn’t change the fact that his household member had hung him out to dry.

No matter how many times he checked, the situation was the same. Jacob Parker’s business had been taken away by a human being that the treasure constellation didn’t know. Moreover, Jacob had even run away with the money of the treasure house constellation.

Perhaps he was hiding under the protection of the Chef of Endless Gluttony.

I will kill you!I will kill you, you bastards!You damn businessmen!I’m going to kill you all!!

Even though he had lost a lot of money in Earth’s stock market, and even though he had trusted con artists and lost his money to them, the Greedy Owner of the Treasure House hadn’t been able to get rid of his lingering attachment to the grand illusion cast by Earth’s financial market.

However, this Parker human had crossed the line!

The Greedy Owner of the Treasure House made a vow. He was going to annihilate every businessman on Earth, starting with the bloodline of that Parker family!

Listen, you greedy people of Earth!This is my oath! The oath of the Greedy Owner of the Treasure House!

***

As the treasure house constellation was vowing to retaliate against the world, Choi Yeonseung checked the loot.

“This is the ring.”

Choi Yeonseung took the ring from Adaquaniel and carefully checked it.

Silence of Lentus—the reason Jacob Parker had managed to subdue those monsters despite not being a hunter. It was such a rare artifact that even some seasoned constellations failed to recognize it.

Choi Yeonseung felt a familiar power of existence from this ring. It was the power of existence of the Master of Slowness and Silence.

“...?”

Choi Yeonseung had Declaration of the Realm of Silence, the power of the Master of Slowness and Silence.

Even though it was merely a fraction of the slowness constellation’s overall power, it was still a devastating ability, for it could forcibly erase the power of other constellations.

Choi Yeonseung had fused the powers he had acquired so far into his martial arts, but the power of the Master of Slowness and Silence was so powerful and complex that he couldn’t possibly incorporate it in his arsenal.

In any case, he hadn’t expected to feel the power of existence of that constellation from this ring…

-Are you perhaps mistaken?

-No, I’m sure about this.

[The ‘Chef of Endless Gluttony’ says it isn’t surprising.]

[He says that even though the ‘Master of Slowness and Silence’ is a quiet constellation, he is constantly planning insidious schemes from behind the scenes.]

Even though he was one of the most hostile constellations out there, the Chef of Endless Gluttony trusted Choi Yeonseung’s judgment. He was certain of Choi Yeonseung’s expertise, given that he had taken a beating from him before.

The Master of Slowness and Silence was the only one who could make an artifact of this magnitude and then hand it over to humans!

[The power ‘Monster’s Silent Power’ has been acquired.]

[The power of existence has risen.]

First, Choi Yeonseung drew as much power from the ring as possible. Just because he hated the Master of Slowness and Silence didn’t mean he would reject this power. Besides, he had to retrain the monsters acquired from Jacob Parker…

Yiiip!Yiiip!

[The ‘Chef of Endless Gluttony’ smiles at the sight of the rock snakes.]

The rock snakes were being shockingly loyal to Choi Yeonseung, unlike other monsters, and this made the other constellations happy.

[The ‘Chef of Endless Gluttony’ asks if this is true faith...]

[The ‘Noble Crown Collector’ applies for a constellation battle.]

[The ‘Chef of Endless Gluttony’ calls you an ill-mannered and tasteless bastard.]

[The ‘Noble Crown Collector’ is angry.]

The collector constellation was getting insulted even though he had applied for a constellation battle in a dignified manner, so he was naturally furious. Even if they were enemies, there should at least be a minimum level of respect between them…!

***

No evil god constellation would stay quiet after being attacked.

The Noble Crown Collector had been greatly disgraced at the Temple of Glory, so he had to get revenge. Besides, he wasn’t the only evil god constellation who was aiming for the Undefeated Incarnation of Training.

There were currently quite a few evil god constellations who were seriously in danger. In addition, Choi Yeonseung’s position as a household member contributed to the sense of crisis.

He was a new S-grade hunter who had just risen up, and he was the human who had defeated the most evil god constellations…

-If you don’t break him now, he might become even more dangerous in the future!

It was the Noble Crown Collector who came forward, but there were other evil god constellations backing him up.

The situation that the Chef of Endless Gluttony had warned about was happening sooner than expected.

[The ‘Chef of Endless Gluttony’ says that from now on, you should prepare for the constellation battle.]

[If you don’t decimate your opponent, the evil god constellations will continue to flock like hyenas to a wounded beast.]

There was no such thing as an eternal powerhouse in the Abyss. Any powerful constellation could collapse from one mistake.

It wasn’t enough for Choi Yeonseung to win; it had to be a landslide victory. That way, the other evil god constellations would be discouraged and withdraw. If he showed any weakness, the evil god constellations would bite him to the bone.

Choi Yeonseung nodded. He had been confident that something would come his way, so he wasn’t nervous.

‘I’ll give it a try.’

Choi Yeonseung was different from his past self. His territories, authority, power of existence, and alliances had all grown so immensely that they were now on a completely different scale.

He wouldn’t lose to the Noble Crown Collector, who had run away with his tail between his legs after being defeated.

Okay.How are you going to fight?

[The ‘Noble Crown Collector’ applies for a territory battle.]

A territory battle—victory by capturing the opponent’s chosen kingdom. Choi Yeonseung was delighted by this surprisingly easy stipulation. Moreover, if it was such a battle...

‘Wouldn’t it be nice if I joined and fought as well?’

Indeed, he could participate as a household member.

Of course, the Noble Crown Collector was aware of the dangers of picking such a constellation battle. All the constellations were aware that Choi Yeonseung was the strongest household member of the Undefeated Incarnation of Training, his core force.

Therefore, the collector constellation added one more condition.

[The ‘Noble Crown Collector’ adds one condition.]

[He proposes to limit the household members sent to non-intelligent monsters.]

Don’t mess around, Noble Crown Collector. Have you lost your intelligence along with your territory?

[The ‘Goddess of Balance Who Walks Ahead’ insults the intelligence of the ‘Noble Crown Collector’.]

The good god constellations showed unified contempt, and the collector constellation gritted his teeth. One day, he would banish all these good god constellations to the nameless outskirts of the Abyss!
