The Main Characters That Only I Know-Chapter 255:

Unleashed was not very well-known to the Korean citizens.

It was hard to find anyone who would even say, “Oh, those guys like the old IS?” when asked on the street.

They mainly operated in Africa and Southeast Asia, and were biased towards Europe, so it was a natural reaction.

More importantly, Korea was a small country with good public security in the world, so there was hardly any terror incidents.

There were occasional cases of corrupted collectors like Scavengers causing trouble, but even that was at the bottom level of occurrence in the world. There was no reason to be alarmed.

Was it because of that?

Blessing Scenery Palace Square in Seoul.

In that place where there were many people, no one noticed the suspicious person who was mixed in the crowd.

“Stupid fools.”

Albert, a terrorist affiliated with Unleashed, sneered at the people who were living peacefully without knowing what was about to happen here.

How stupid were they? Death was approaching them, but they didn’t even realize it.

“That’s why inferior beings are no good.”

Albert thought of himself as a chosen person.

He had the power to do anything he wanted. But the world judged collectors like him as dangerous and tried to suppress them.

And while doing that, they sent collectors to places with dangerous ideologies.

How arrogant was that?

“We are the new humans. We are different from those inferior beings who are scattered on the street. We collectors deserve to be treated well. No, that’s not enough. We should rule the world and make everyone bow down to us.”

But these foolish ones didn’t praise him, but rather treated him as a madman.

Albert was furious and harbored a grudge against the world.

The European Association bastards who didn’t recognize his abilities and kicked him out right away, saying he had a problem with his personality.

The people who didn’t respect him at all, even though they had his power in front of them.

The foolish ones who protested, saying they were defying God by acknowledging the superiority of the Collectors.

‘Die, all of you.’

Albert’s eyes glowed bleakly. It was time to cause a disaster.

His role was to hide among the crowd and use his power to wreak havoc. Albert, who had been holding back and waiting for this moment, was ready to welcome it with open arms.

Of course, there would be government-affiliated Collectors or special teams from the Association who would respond to the report.

But Albert was confident that he could take them all down. His anger that he had suppressed until now would never lose to them.

‘Moreover, I got a huge amount of points by signing a contract with the Exodus Tellers this time.’

The alliance between Unleashed and Exodus.

The Exodus Tellers supported the Unleashed Collectors to make it easier for them to run wild.

It was a necessity, but Albert still deluded himself that it was because he was great.

The Tellers liked him too.

Albert felt proud and decided to move.

‘First, I’ll start with that family over there.’

He didn’t like the couple who were walking down the street with their child, laughing and smiling.

How should he deal with them? Should he kill the child first in front of the parents? Or should he kill the parents first in front of the child?

As Albert licked his lips with his tongue, at that moment.

Thud.

A hand landed on his shoulder.

“Huh? What is it?”

“Albert Dupree.”

“…? Who are you and how do you know my name…?”

Albert frowned as the young man in a suit called his name. He was so immersed in the upcoming disaster that he didn’t find it strange that his identity was exposed.

“You’re a terrorist from Unleashed, aren’t you? You can’t do this in broad daylight.”

“…!”

Albert realized then that the other person was not his colleague, but his enemy.

But it was too late.

“Ugh!”

The hand on his shoulder from Yu-hyun.

He couldn’t resist the immense force that was applied to him.

“Ack!”

“What, what is this?!”

The people passing by were all startled, but soon the special teams of the Association appeared on the scene and subdued Albert in an instant.

‘What, what is this? How did this happen?’

Albert couldn’t understand the situation. How did his identity get exposed so suddenly? And how did the Association bastards know and find him here?

Did someone leak information? Or was there a traitor?

Albert’s mind raced, but he couldn’t physically resist.

‘I can’t, move my body…!’

From the moment I locked eyes with Yu-hyun and felt his power, my body trembled like a willow in the wind.

My flesh involuntarily succumbed to fear and lost any will to resist, regardless of my mind. I couldn’t understand why this was happening, but I already felt a loss of strength throughout my body as I was dragged away by the association collectors.

‘How can this be? I’m supposed to be a great being of this era?’

I didn’t even put up a decent fight, and I was subdued by just a touch on my shoulder.

Even as I was restrained and taken away, I couldn’t accept the situation and kept questioning it.

“Well, that’s one more down.”

[You’re amazing.]

Baekryeon admired Yu-hyun’s effortless subjugation. It looked like he just found the terrorists hiding in the crowd and lightly pressured them, but it was not easy to suppress a vicious terrorist with just his aura.

But Yu-hyun did it naturally, as if breathing. He placed his hand on their shoulder, looked them in the eye, and crushed their whole body with an immense pressure.

It was an experience of losing all strength without knowing why for those who were on the receiving end.

It was not a lie that those who reached a certain level could overwhelm their opponents with just their atmosphere.

“Mr. Kang Yu-hyun Teller. Thank you for your help.”

An association employee who had cleaned up the scene bowed his head to Yu-hyun.

Yu-hyun had just joined as a tracker following Unleashed’s trail, but in that short time, he had already identified more than 10 terrorists hidden in Blessing Scenery Palace Square.

The employee was amazed by Yu-hyun’s performance, but also curious.

The citizens thought that the series of incidents happening around them were just trivial matters and ignored them.

‘No, how can he find them so easily among so many people? And no one around suspects anything.’

The manual for a possible panic situation was reduced to scraps of paper.

Besides, it was hard to find anyone suspicious in this area, even if you looked with a keen eye, but Yu-hyun was catching them all.

Was that the eye of a teller that he had, as the rumors said? The ability to see only the peculiar ones?

It was said that collectors also saw something invisible to ordinary people when they reached a high level, but maybe that rumor was true.

“Thank you so much. You made my job so easy.”

“Don’t mention it. I managed to catch them, but there seem to be some remnants left. They seem to be scattering and running away after noticing us.”

Yu-hyun’s eyes caught some books that were feeling uneasy and leaving the scene.

“Oh. Then we should catch the rest quickly…”

“You don’t have to worry about that.”

“Huh?”

“Our people have already moved.”

He said that before the association staff could ask what he meant.

Flash!

A bright flash that was clearly visible even in broad daylight exploded in the distance.

“Huh? What’s that?”

“Are they doing fireworks or something?”

It was a sudden event that made everyone passing by turn their heads. But there was nothing to see where their eyes were directed.

They thought ‘Did I see something wrong?’ while smaller flashes followed one after another.

The staff who was watching from afar trembled his lips.

“Wha, what is this…”

He belatedly remembered who the collector who came with Yu-hyun was.

That white-blue flash. The one who wrapped it around her body and moved at a speed like lightning.

“Co, could it be… Sword ?”

And right after that, a dazzling light flashed in front of him and a woman appeared.

A woman who wore a thin layer of lightning around her body and had blue-white hair. She threw four unconscious people on the floor.

The association staff swallowed his saliva.

Swordmaster Kang Hye-rim.

He had often heard that she was strong, but it was the first time he witnessed her action.

‘I didn’t see her.’

More than that, he saw four flashes from far away and when he came to his senses, she was standing in front of him.

‘How fast is she?’

At this point, he wondered if she really moved at the speed of lightning.

While he was thinking that, Kang Hye-rim released the lightning around her body. Her hair turned black again and her heated energy calmed down.

“Good job. Miss Hye-rim.”

“It was nothing. What about the rest?”

“They’ll be here soon.”

‘Soon?’

The staff who was quietly listening to their conversation realized belatedly that there was another collector with them.

Right after that, Kwon Jia came dragging the terrorists of Unleashed that she had captured from afar.

She had some skirmishes while capturing them, as purple energy flowed over her shoulders.

Gulp.

I swallowed hard as I watched the purple aura twist and disappear into the beast’s mouth.

‘So, she’s the Mad Wolf.’

I could see why she was called that, just by looking at her aura.

‘Swordmaster Kang Hye-rim. Estimated level above 80. Rank close to high. Mad Wolf Know Jia. Estimated level above 78. The most likely candidate to become the next high-rank collector after Kang Hye-rim. And the one who recruited and trained them all, Teller Kang Yu-hyun.’

I didn’t know his level, but I didn’t think he would be weaker than the two of them.

‘This is… White Flower Management.’

There were also Seo Sumin and Yoo Young-min, but I didn’t know much about them yet, so I only saw the three of them, including Yu-hyun.

But what did that matter?

Those three alone could easily surpass the power of any large-scale management, and even compete with clans.

“It looks like everything is settled here.”

“Ah, yes! Thank you for your help!”

The staff bowed hastily and thanked Yu-hyun repeatedly. If they hadn’t helped today, there would have been a bloodbath at Blessing Scenery Palace Square.

And the association’s collectors might have had to risk their lives to suppress the rampaging Unleashed collectors.

But no one was hurt, and the situation was resolved without even being properly known to the public.

‘Is this even possible?’

It was possible. It happened, so it must have been possible.

The staff felt like they were dreaming with their eyes open.

Then they received a call.

There was another place where the Unleashed remnants’ movement was predicted. It was a message from there.

“…Yes. Oh, it’s over there too? Yes. There was some help. Yes? Walker?”

The word Walker caught Yu-hyun’s ear. Actually, he had been listening to the conversation with his excellent hearing since the moment the staff picked up the phone.

‘Walker.’

Apparently, the terror in the other place was also suppressed before it even started.

And that was not only thanks to the association’s power, but also to the help of a group of collectors called Walkers.

‘Unlike collectors who only gather stories, they are an ambitious group of people who want to move forward to the future.’

If you awakened as a collector and received that power, you should do something right with it.

That was the Walker’s claim to their actions.

Yu-hyun liked them very much.

And the Tellers who supported those Walkers were not from Celestial Corporation.

Comedy Troupe.

They were one of the groups of Tellers that divided the Hybrid System into three parts, along with Cheonche Jusikhoesa and Exodus.

Their position in the MixedSystem was similar to Exodus, but their evaluation was the opposite.

If Exodus wanted despair and misery for the lower beings, Comedy Troupe wanted pure pleasure for fun.

‘But that doesn’t mean I can see them in a good light.’

This fun was not necessarily good or right.

Rather, pure fun could be more cruel than anything else.

Life is a comedy when seen from afar, but a tragedy when seen up close.

It means that the same thing can be seen differently depending on the perspective, but conversely, it also means that comedy and tragedy are essentially similar.

And, the Comedy Faction, who only wanted comedy, was a group of lunatics in a different sense from Exodus.

They were not the ones I wanted to be close with.

‘But the situation is getting interesting. The Unleashed, who want to overthrow the world, are supported by Exodus, and the Walkers, who want to protect and improve the world, are supported by the Comedy Faction.’

[It’s like a three-way battle has been formed. Does this make it more complicated?]

‘It might be better for us, who have to stop Exodus as a priority.’

I welcomed any new changes like this. The more the Comedy Faction was around, the less Exodus would be able to run wild.

Anyway, those two groups were like water and oil, hard to mix with each other.

There was no one better than the Comedy Faction to keep Exodus in check.

“By the way, Mr. Yu-hyun.”

As Yu-hyun was thinking about the future developments in his mind, Kang Hye-rim, who was next to him, tapped his waist lightly.

“Why?”

“Look. Do you know that person?”

“Who?”

Yu-hyun realized why Kang Hye-rim suddenly said that when he saw where her finger was pointing.

There was a Teller with a huge height, wearing a black helmet and a black suit, kneeling in front of Kwon Jia.

He was giving her all kinds of compliments.

“Oh, beautiful lady. You have such a beauty that blinds my eyes. Oh, of course I look like I have no eyes, but I have proper eyes inside, so don’t worry. My heart is beating wildly for you like never before.”

What is it?

What is he doing?

While Yu-hyun was looking at him with disbelief, the Teller’s actions did not stop.

“Would you like to go somewhere and have a quiet cup of tea with me? I know a good place that would suit a strong woman like you. It’s fate that we met like this, how about some time?”

“Get lost.”

“Keuk.”

The Teller clutched his chest and staggered at Kwon Jia’s harsh words.

Kwon Jia did not look back and came to Yu-hyun’s side and stood next to him.

She whispered in his ear.

“What’s with that crazy Teller?”

“Don’t you know him, Ms. Jia?”

“How would I know?”

“How would I know?”

“Aren’t you acquainted?”

“No?”

“…?”

“…?”

What?

As the two were puzzled, the Teller recovered from his shock and got up from his seat.

He saw Yu-hyun and came over with a friendly gesture of waving his hand.

As Yu-hyun saw him,

He felt an annoying feeling that he had met a troublesome guy.
