The 100th Regression of the Max-Level Player - RMLP Chapter 231: A Country Subjugated by Power (Part 1)

Before his clone was shot and killed, Ryu Min was using his tracking skill to search for Dark Soul. The only Apostle who hadn’t shown up at the meeting spot was him, after all.

‘As expected, it was a trap.’

Dark Soul was positioned 1 kilometer away, preparing for a snipe.

‘Thinking he can kill me with a mere sniper shot? He still hasn’t learned.’

Ryu Min had hoped that reducing the number of Apostles from twelve to four would have made them understand the power disparity, but it was wishful thinking.

‘They won’t listen until they’re on the verge of death.’

If strength won’t work, there are other methods. One of them is using Yamti to turn them into slaves.

‘I’d like to use a duel challenge, but those prideful types wouldn’t accept. It’s a hassle anyway.’

Ryu Min thought, knowing how convenient it was that she could dominate others just by locking eyes with them. That’s exactly why he brought Yamti along.

“Yamti, go and subdue them.”

“Um, Sir Black Scythe?”

Yamti looked toward Yang Chiwen, his subordinate, and The Spaniard before speaking.

“There’s not enough space left to dominate all of them.”

“Who are you controlling right now?”

“The Chief of Police, Chairman of Player Haven, and Jeffrey. These three.”

Yamti could control a total of five people, leaving only two more spots.

“Release the Chief of Police. The president is on our side now, so he’s no longer needed. The same goes for the Chairman of Player Haven; we’ve absorbed Player Haven’s members into the Church, so he’s unnecessary.”

Renting a private jet might cost some money, but that was no concern. They could always ask the president, and Ryu Min himself had more than a trillion won at his disposal.

“Understood. What about Jeffrey…?”

“Leave him, just in case. It won’t be an issue to release his control, but better safe than sorry.”

With the influence removed, four slots became available again. Even with the limitation that a previously charmed target could not be re-charmed, it was a wise choice.

“I greet the master.”

“We greet our new master.”

With the domination of Dark Soul, the last addition, complete, four of the Apostles knelt and paid their respects.

“Stand up. What would people think if they saw you like this?”

Technically, they were Yamti’s subordinates, but since the authority had been delegated to Ryu Min, they obeyed his orders like slaves.

“But, Master, what do you plan to do with these guys now that they’re under control? Why not just kill them…?”

Was Yamti feeling uneasy about the addition of more rivals?

Ryu Min glanced at Yamti’s displeased expression and responded.

“It would be pointless to kill them. There’s no gain for me in doing so. I’ll use them as much as I can before getting rid of them.”

Killing them now would only reduce the number of available survivors.

He planned to keep as many players alive as possible up to Round 15, so losing more players now would be a problem. Though if there were tangible benefits to killing them, he might reconsider.

“Now that our objective is complete, let’s head back. You can all disperse for now. I don’t have any further orders at the moment.”

“Yes, Master.”

“And don’t call me ‘Master’ in front of others.”

“Oh, understood. Then…”

The four Apostles bowed deeply before retreating.

“Yamti, let’s get going as well.”

“Yes.”

As Ryu Min turned to leave, his phone vibrated. He glanced at it to see a new email notification.

‘Is the investigation complete?’

The contents of the email were surprisingly brief.

[Sender: Director of National Intelligence, Gwak Min-seok]

<Subject: Sir Black Scythe, here is the requested file.>

└Details: Please enter the secret code provided earlier to access the secure document.

└Best of luck.

He recalled receiving a twelve-digit code during his visit to the Blue House. The Chief of Staff had been shocked when he chose to memorize it instead of writing it down.

‘291294719481.’

Entering the twelve digits opened the secure page.

<These are the results from the reports received so far. We will update you if reports from other countries come in.>

After swiftly reviewing the information, Ryu Min lifted his head. His destination was set.

“Have you received the report?”

“Yes.”

“Where are you heading?”

“To the nearest place—Mexico.”

“In that case, I…”

“No.”

With a flap—

Wings unfurled from Ryu Min’s back.

“I’m going alone. Yamti, join up with the others and continue promoting the Church. Let them know why I can’t join them right now.”

“Understood, Master. Stay safe.”

“There’s nothing to worry about.”

With a small chuckle, Ryu Min soared high into the sky. Yamti watched until he became just a black speck, then turned to walk away.
