Chapter 638
It was right then.
Squeak
As soon as Choi Yun-seok finished speaking, the door opened and Kim Mu-woong entered. Kim Mu-woong, who had just been in a meeting in the small conference room, didn’t look too good.
“Moo-woong!”
Jang Mu-yeol, seeing Kim Mu-woong’s expression, quickly beckoned him over. It was a fact that needed to be shared, regardless of whether his mood was good or bad.
“Why?”
“The conditions have been met! Bartas is assembling the team!”
“…Huh.”
Kim Moo-woong let out a short sigh at Jang Moo-yeol’s words. Then, turning back, he headed out the door and said to Jang Moo-yeol and Choi Yoon-seok.
“I’ll be back after the meeting.”

BANG!
“Damn it!”
Rishur slammed his fist down on the desk.
“Why?!”
But that didn’t ease his anger. Rishur hurled the book he was holding at the wall.
“Aren’t our forces overwhelmingly larger? Why do we keep hearing only news of defeat?”
After hurling the book, Rishur snapped at Gaul, who sat across from him. By any measure, the Ecalim Alliance’s forces were undeniably larger. So why were only reports of defeat reaching them? Rishur couldn’t understand it at all.
“…”
Gaul couldn’t utter a word in response to Rishur’s furious voice. If he had an answer that could calm his anger, he would have given it.
But Gaul had no such answer. Giving a mundane response now would only invite greater wrath. In such moments, there was nothing left but to wait in silence for Rishur’s fury to subside.
