#453. These are fun things.

Las Vegas.
A city of gambling and nightlife built in the middle of the desert.
Centered around numerous casinos, this city overflowing with all sorts of luxuries and pleasures is truly the pinnacle of splendor.
It was to the point that anyone who hadnât been in Las Vegas for more than a month would dare to say they knew what pleasure was.
And the central place in this city of pleasure is Fafnir headquarters.
From banks to securities insurance cards and more.
A conglomerate that dominates all financial industries.
At the same time, it was also the headquarters of the Federal Reserve Bank, which issues US dollars.
Fafnirâs building is as splendid as the scale of its business, and has long been renowned as a landmark in Las Vegas.
But at this very moment.
There were no tourists who could admire the Fafnir headquarters.
windows that were all broken.
Crumbling exterior walls.
Even the black dried bloodstains.
The Fafnir headquarters, with clear traces of battle, was closer to a battlefield than a landmark.
It was the same in places other than Fafnir.
Casino Bank Hotel Advertising Tower etc.
Las Vegas was stained with all sorts of scars and created a gloomy atmosphere.
But despite the chaos, Las Vegas was quiet.
Hundreds of blonde cowboys armed with pistols and rifles silently guarding their positions everywhere.
The heavy momentum exuded by the musketeers of the Golden Dragon Clan held their breath in the entire city.
Ttogak Ttogak
and the center of those musketeers.
There was a blonde beauty walking along the road leading from Fafnir headquarters.
like taking a walk.
Elegant and lofty as always.
But at a particularly slower pace than usual, she made her way across the messy streets of Las Vegas.
Pass by the collapsed casino.
Pass the red-tinged fountain.
Through the walls with clear bullet marks.
Stepping on the rolling casings on the ground.
Ignoring the giantâs corpse strewn all over the broken road.
It all seems trivial.
At the end of slowly moving without stopping even for a moment without giving a glance anywhere.
Charlotte suddenly opened her mouth.
âIs the investigation over?â
âyes.â
âGuide me.â
âYes My Princess.â
A woman in a cowgirl outfit appeared before she knew it.
The place Ellis led was a corner of the city that was in ruins.
Compared to other buildings in Las Vegas, it was in front of a particularly old and shabby warehouse.
Of course, itâs just appearance.
In fact, the interior of the warehouse was thoroughly surrounded by double-triple metal walls and high-tech equipment, reminiscent of a central bank vault.
It was natural.
This warehouse is also the base of the Golden Dragon Clan.
Before the Golden Dragon Clan was reborn as the Seven Dragon Group.
It was a secret bank created to trade black money and stolen goods when they ruled the financial market as a criminal organization.
Even after Fafnir Company was officially launched, the secret bank continued to have users, so the Gold Dragon clan also continued to thoroughly manage the secret bank.
but this moment.
The myth of the secret bank, which had been impregnable for hundreds of years, was shattered.
perforated floor.
A safe with a double-doored door.
Above all, hundreds of corpses lined up neatly in the middle.
It was in this secret bank that the fight was more brutal than any other building in Las Vegas, including the Farnir Headquarters.
that buck
Charlotte approached the corpse in front.
And unlike usual, I dared to reach out and lift the white cloth covering the corpse.
Squeak.
After the cloth disappeared,
a familiar face was revealed.
Looking at the upright blond middle-aged man, who was so badly crushed that it was difficult to recognize his true form, Charlotte languidly opened her mouth.
âItâs so pitiful that you canât believe itâs my family to die like this as a rank-and-file master.â
It seems so boring.
After muttering to yourself.
said Charlotte.
âAlice, explain.â
The blonde cowgirl wasnât taken aback by the sudden request.
As soon as he returned to the headquarters of Fafnir, he calmly explained what had happened in this city, which he had found out by gathering various information from the beginning.
âIt is said that the problem started at around 14:35 when citizens suddenly started rampaging all over the city.â
âItâs around 14:35â¦thatâs really strange.â
âIt must have been about 14:30 when the princess arrived in Detroit.â
Itâs so exquisite for a coincidence.
After provoking Charlotteâs snort with words she didnât believe in herself.
Alice continued to explain.
âAt first, each facility, including the casino, regarded it as a common riot and tried to subdue it.â
âBut you mean that those rioters suddenly turned into giants?â
âIn terms of form and ability, it seems to be of the same type as the giants that appeared in South America.â
âIt means that it is a special toy created by a player addicted to ambrosia and black magic.â
âYes, suddenly hundreds of such giants appeared simultaneously and the whole city was thrown into chaos.â
âIf so, of course you would have requested support from Farnir.â
âIt is as you say.â
At the time, Charlotte was subjugating the Liberation Brigade.
Besides, all means of contact, including jamming, were blocked in Las Vegas, so there was no way to contact Charlotte.
The Golden Dragon clan had to move on its own.
Fortunately, like Fafnirâs headquarters, there were elders of the clan here.
The elders of the Golden Dragon Clan, who promptly decided to support, led the musketeers to subdue the giants.
Even though each had a power comparable to that of a high-level player, the giants, who had only run amok, were subdued one after another, and Las Vegas gradually regained stability.
No, it seemed so.
â¦until the remnants of the Liberation Brigade attacked Fafnirâs headquarters.
âNine duke-level players.â
âAbout 30 marquis level players.â
âBesides that, it was a death squad made up of about 300 high-level player-level giants.â
âThey alone werenât a threat, butâ¦â
If Fafnirâs headquarters were in perfect condition, they would have been able to easily block that level.
However, even the Golden Dragon clan could not cope with the surprise attack that took place when a large number of armed forces were dispatched to deal with the chaos in Las Vegas.
âEspecially, some Duke-level players are said to have displayed great power after using certain skills.â
âDescent of the Constellation?â
âyes. Compared to the ghosts the princess dealt with, it seems like they lacked a lot, so I donât think they were proper ghosts, butâ¦â âIt
must have been enough to make the headquarters that way.â
Confused Las Vegas.
Command made difficult due to communication disruption.
The absent princess and sabers.
A surprise that was completely unexpected.
And even the specter who wrote the Descent of the Constellation.
The attack of the liberation brigade was tenacious and thorough enough that even the Geumryong clan could not bear it.
Still, the Golden Dragon clan managed to protect the headquarters.
A fortified building with all sorts of spells and barriers.
Based on that, the elders, who were masters of the ranks, fought fiercely against the intruders by encamping with the remaining armed forces.
In addition, the military force that quickly subdued the giants returned one after another and eventually destroyed the intruders.
In the end, it was good to see it as a victory for the Golden Dragon clan.
âThe problem is that the head of the family disappeared in the midst of that battle.â
âAccording to the messenger, the head of the family said that there was something suspicious about this raid and that he left the position with the family armed forces.â
âAnd after the battle was over, he didnât appear, so I searched for himâ¦â
The result was this.
The secret bank in ruins.
And the corpses of those who were strewn about in it.
After speaking while looking at the corpses lined up on the floor, Elise hardened her face.
âWhat is unusual is the location where the body was found.â
âWhat is special about it?â
âThe corpses of the original bank employees were mostly found inside, so it seems that they were attacked while guarding the safe.â
âIsnât that natural?â
âThe problem is that the corpses of the armed forces under the head of the household are scattered all over the place.â
ââ¦they were scattered?â
âYes, as if they had given up fighting and fled in all directions and were massacred.â
âThat sounds like an interesting story.â
He had a cold smile on his face, which did not raise an eyebrow even while looking at the corpse.
Charlotte said languidly.
âThere is no one in my family who would do such a servile thing because their life was precious.â
âI think so too.â
Elise also calmly agreed.
They are the Golden Dragon clan.
The most proud of the dragonâs descendants, they would rather die than risk the humiliation of running away from their enemies.
Exceptions are more important than your own ego.
In other words, it was only when a situation directly related to the safety of the princess or the survival of the clan took place.
âPersonally, I think the head of the household gave priority to obtaining some important information and informing it to the outside world.â
âAnyway, it means that enemies who would judge the odds of a class master to be low have come here.â
âSo are the actual results.â
All the corpses belonged to the Golden Dragon clan.
No such thing as the intruderâs body was ever found.
They may have taken the body with them when they ran away, but seeing that not one of the armed forces members escaped, it was rather the opposite.
In other words, there was a high possibility that there were intruders who unilaterally annihilated the rank-and-file masters and armed forces.
âIn the end, it means that the real main force of the Liberation Brigade is those who came here.â
An exquisite surprise of time.
Thorough blockage of communication.
Inefficient dissipation of power.
Excessive concentration of power in secret banks.
The moment when all of that was put together and a conclusion I had already anticipated was confirmed.
âWhoop whoop.â
Charlotte laughed.
everything seems trivial.
Unlike usual, which was always drowsy.
With a really happy smile.
âThey have different sexes in the mountainous region of Johoi⦠They are more fun than I thought they would play pranks on me like this.â
Instead of calling the tiger from the mountain, he uses his base as bait to pull himself out.
Throw Las Vegas into chaos.
Charlotte admired the Liberation Brigadeâs ability to rob a secret bank.
âIâll admit that at least that boldness and recklessness are admirable.â
At best, itâs a sex donggyeoseo.
But, of course, the base itself.
It is acceptable to succeed in that simple strategy by throwing all the strength comparable to the 7 guilds as bait.
after a short evaluation.
Charlotte clenched her fists.
âBut you are foolish.â
Quadduk.
The broken pistol lying next to the middle-aged man disintegrated.
No, all the rifles and sniper rifles and machine guns that were among the numerous corpses lined up on the floor were all shattered and floated into the air.
The parts come together.
Fragments of the broken safe.
Absorb even the treasures inside.
After repeated transformations and assemblies, what was created was a mixture of metal, jewels and firearms.
It was a tombstone with geometric elegance engraved with the names of all the clans who died in this incident.
leaving the dead behind.
Charlotte turned around.
âEllis. Ask EK to maintain the vigilance system of the large intestine wall at the highest level. And pursue them by all means.â
âYes My Princess.â
raid your city
stealing their treasure
Of course he harmed his own clan.
Reflecting on the karma of the Liberation Brigade, who even intercepted the death of Hans D. Rockefeller, a servant who had decided to sacrifice his life.
The most aloof in the Seven Dragons.
More greedy than any princess.
The descendant of the dragon, obsessed with their own, declared coldly.
âThey will know the price for daring to touch mine.â
