My Alter Ego’s Path to Greatness Chapter 422

Blazing Torch (3)

“...It’s over. Fortunately, they say they were able to escape without major damage.”

A single word came out of An’s mouth while his eyes were quietly closed.

At those words, sighs of relief came out from the mouths of those who were looking nervous around them.

“Whoa, that’s good.”

“The sky hasn’t abandoned us yet. If Malfi is safe, we will be able to join forces again somehow.”

“Still, we have to monitor the situation a little longer for the time being. If too many people gather in one place right now, they will quickly get noticed. “Until we come up with a solution, it’s better to spread out and hide like we do now.”

The survivors of the Burning Torch begin to chatter one by one upon hearing that their comrades who had taken refuge elsewhere are safe.

Their number had already grown to nearly ten.

As I followed Ken’s lead and escaped to a safe place, I was able to join my colleagues who were nearby.

When the group began to exchange opinions.

Ahn, who had to use his strength to avoid being pursued and communicate over long distances, took a deep breath and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Then, with new eyes, I looked at Ken, who was leaning against the wall in a corner with his arms crossed.

An unidentified devil who suddenly came and declared that he would help them.

The fact that the situation has now improved is all thanks to following his advice.

‘You were right this time too. What on earth is the identity of the person behind the author? I wonder what kind of abilities they have to make something like this possible....’

That was the case with everything they had experienced so far, including this incident.

Aren’t there more than one comrade who has escaped safely from the magical clutches of the Beoncheonhoe thanks to following his advice?

This was something that could not have been done without a complete understanding of what was happening on this huge land mass.

As if he was really watching everything from heaven.

‘If you think about the scope, it’s not something that can be done with individual abilities alone. Perhaps personnel from the organizational unit were involved. ... It doesn’t change that it’s great, though.’

Even though it is not based in Southeast Asia, it has this level of information gathering ability.

Its capabilities were already far beyond those of most countries.

I wonder how big the organization is so that such a thing is possible...

Of course, there was Hesperon’s ability to run at the cutting edge and the tearful struggle of Andrew Weaver, who was struggling without sleep for several days.

She couldn’t know that fact now.

“Anyway, we confirmed the fate of all key executives through this. ... Not everyone is safe, but it can still be said to be much better than expected.”

She quietly looked at Ken and spoke softly.

Those who were talking around her all fell silent and looked at her.

No matter what anyone says, she is the leader leading them now.

“At this level, we will be able to somehow reorganize the organization and resume activities. Of course, I think we need to be as careful as possible for the time being...”

She continued speaking calmly and looked at Ken with strange eyes.

Even though he is one of the parties involved, the unidentified helper somehow takes a step back and just nods his head calmly.

“So, Ken. “Our CEO said he would like to meet him sometime. What do you think?”

Then he brought up the story he had just heard.

As the situation began to improve, the restored communication network included a representative of the Burning Torch, whose traces had been unknown for some time.

“That’s what I’ve been waiting for.”

Of course Ken did not refuse the offer.

The reason he couldn’t rest properly for the past few days and was busy moving around and calling himself an errand boy was all for that reason.

‘I’m finally starting to see an end to this. Once we get to the negotiating table, the employer will take care of the rest.’

If that happens, he will no longer have to wander around in this scorching sun and will soon be able to return to Japan.

What awaited after that was a family reunion for the first time in 30 years.

‘In Earth time, it would only be about three years.’

It was a reunion he had only dreamed of after having lived a very turbulent life in the demon world.

Even though he cannot be said to be the original Miyamoto Ken.

It was something I had to do from the moment I decided to take over that soul and live as Ken.

The date for the meeting that many people were looking forward to was set.

Time passed quickly and the promised day finally dawned.

***

The Burning Torch was a resistance force of the Buncheonhoe based in Southeast Asia.

As it was an organization made up of awakened people from various countries in Southeast Asia, its basic structure was to have branches in each country and dispatch support whenever necessary.

However, in any organization, it was essential to have a leader to unite them.

The person elected in that way was the current Indonesian representative, Freddie, commonly known as ‘President.’

‘It’s definitely a character. It must not have been that easy to form an organization that included not only people from one’s own country but also people from other countries.’

Ken, who was following Ann and Jose, exclaimed inwardly in admiration.

Although he was not officially provided with detailed information, he knew to some extent because he had encountered a lot of information while working with them.

The high-ranking members of the Burning Torch were certainly a small number of elites, but given the area of activity, the number of members under their control was not that small.

“not...?”

“what? “What’s wrong with you all of a sudden?”

The air became cold at her sudden strange reaction.

However, the confusion among the left and right did not last long.

Those quick-witted people carefully got up from their seats with serious faces and began to step back.

Because we’ve known each other for a long time.

What she can do with her powers and what she can discover with them.

Of course, since nothing has been clearly revealed yet, their eyes had no choice but to turn to the culprits of the problem.

To Ahn, the person who reacted abnormally, and to the President, who looked embarrassed as he was met with a hostile reaction as soon as he entered the hall.

“What are you? “What is it?!”

“Huh? What does that mean all of a sudden? That’s not Freddy....”

“Stop that bullshit!” This fake! What happened to the real Fuhrer!”

As the conversation between the two continued, the situation began to escalate.

Ahn, who is fiercely expressing his anger, and Führer Freddie, who still has a perplexed expression.

Regardless of which side was right, there was no atmosphere to continue the meeting.

Some immediately gained momentum, while others slowly withdrew and headed toward the exit.

“Ha—oh my.”

Did you feel that kind of atmosphere around you?

The President, who was trying to somehow persuade his opponent, sighed and roughly rubbed his chin.

“...I never thought it would feel this good. “Should we have somehow dealt with that woman first?”

In a voice that was completely cold, containing no different emotions than before.

Right after that.

“This...!”

Malfi, who was stepping back with a serious expression like the other executives, let out a scream like a scream.

But before she could say anything, the situation was already spiraling out of control.

Viscount Chajwa—!

Sharp thorns erupted from where the sliding doors were, completely blocking the entrance.

A change that occurred even before Malfi, the owner of this space, did anything.

But the strange events did not end there.

Drurruk—

the only unblocked passage.

The sliding door through which the Fuhrer had just entered opened again, and a group of about five or six people slowly walked in.

They all looked uncomfortable, as if they were dissatisfied with the current situation.

“what’s this? “You’re so confident, but you’ve already been caught?”

“...Tsk.”

“Hey Mimic. How are you going to do this? That guy is just a spy? “Didn’t you just decide to skip it until the body came out?”

A man with dark skin and a strangely bald appearance pointed at Ken and argued with the Fuhrer.

Everyone has the same gang attitude.

The problem is that the man was very familiar to the executives gathered here and was the head of the Southeast Asia branch of the Buncheon Association, whom they called a poisonous snake.

“...I couldn’t help it. Their goal is to thwart our plans using blazing torches. “We can’t just let them go since they’ve already been discovered.”

“Ah-oh! If everything had gone according to plan, it would have ended comfortably. “No matter what, nothing goes right!”

“But that doesn’t mean there is no harvest. “I’m just talking nonsense, there’s no way someone as strong as that guy is at the bottom.”

At the protest of the Fuhrer... or rather, the being wearing the shell of the Fuhrer, their eyes turned to Ken.

A demon returner who has reached a fairly high level among transcendents.

It was definitely not at the level of being used as a throwaway word.

Although your status may be lower than that of someone behind you, if you squeeze your soul, you will have something to salvage.

“...Well, okay. It’s a shame I couldn’t grab his head right away, but I can’t help it. “It’s fun to beat each thing one by one and move up like this.”

The head of the East Asia branch seemed to be convinced by those words and slowly nodded.

He then raised the corner of his mouth slyly towards Ken and continued speaking.

“It happened that way, so there’s nothing I can do about it. It starts with you. “If you want to die gracefully, you will have to tell everything you know.”

The executives of the Burning Torch who were already here were not even paying attention.

That has to be the case.

It was natural that the power of the Buncheonhoe that appeared here in the first place was not intended to deal with them.

“About the Masquerade behind you!”

All of this is a trap prepared for the Masquerade.

Because it was a fighting force to deal with the enemy who had been hindering them at every turn.

“...uh? Mas...what?”

Of course, it was just a name Ken had never heard before.
