Return of the Sword God-Rank Civil Servant

Su-ho arrived at the designated café on the outskirts of town, and as soon as Jo Jin-hwi stepped out of his car, he raised his hand in greeting.

"Ah, Pro-nim!"

Su-ho welcomed him with a nod.
"Thanks for coming all this way."

"Haha, not at all. It was actually a nice drive—I’ve been cooped up in my office writing articles non-stop, so this was a good excuse to get out."

Then, Jo Jin-hwi’s expression turned expectant.

His curiosity was obvious.

What kind of information is he going to drop on me this time?

Su-ho chuckled.
"You really are a journalist through and through. If you take on this case, you’ll be in for even more trouble than the last feature piece. You sure you’re up for it?"

"A chef has to work hard to make a delicious dish, just like a journalist has to struggle to bring the truth to the people! No need to worry—just tell me what you’ve got. What’s the scoop this time?"

He rubbed his hands together in excitement.

Su-ho pulled out a sheet of paper and handed it over.

It resembled an organizational chart, but it was unusual—aside from names and branching connections, there was no additional information.

Yet, as soon as Jo Jin-hwi scanned the names, he stiffened.

All of them were big names.

"...What is this?"

"This is a list of individuals connected to a large-scale Gate incident that I’ve been sitting on for a long time."

"A large-scale Gate?"

His eyes darted back to the list.@@novelbin@@

How the hell are this many people connected to a single Gate?

And it wasn’t just hunters or government officials.
