The Draco Virtus Squad stood by, dumbfounded, while the usually eloquent Bae Dongshin was left speechless.

This was a blatant cover-up! Did Pyeongseong Safe Zone want to turn everything upside down?

The surrounding crowd exchanged glances. After some thought, they found themselves in agreement with this appointment.

Mr. Kim was such an impressive person; if he were one of their own in Pyeongseong Safe Zone, wouldn't that benefit everyone? Wouldn't they no longer have to worry that the precious ingredients with no mutagenic virus would disappear from the Safe Zone?

Moreover, every action Mr. Kim has taken so far has been praised by the masses. Each of his efforts had been for their benefit. It was only those treacherous people who had been easily tempted by a few words. What did it mean to give away for free? What did it mean that those capable should fight for themselves? What did it mean that ordinary people didn't deserve good things?

Bah! Nonsense.

Only those who had been blacklisted by Kim Haru were left in despair. However, no matter how much they struggled and pleaded, crying and begging, they received no attention whatsoever.

After reading the notice, Jang Dojang respectfully handed the paper to Kim Haru.

"Mr. Kim, I wonder if you would be willing to accept this appointment?"

Kim Haru glanced at Jang Dojang, then at the anxious Pyeongseong Safe Zone Commander, and ultimately accepted the appointment.

This was essentially giving him control over the entire Safe Zone. Although there were elements of exploitation involved, Kim Haru didn't mind.

After all, if he was ever dissatisfied, he could leave at any time.

Seeing Kim Haru accept the appointment, the Pyeongseong Safe Zone Commander smiled and asked, "Mr. Kim, how about we celebrate your new position together?"

Kim Haru nodded. "Sure."

As for the seven members of the Power Ranger Gang, Kim Haru had already discreetly placed the Soul Confinement Talismans, which he had bought from the system, on each of them. The moment they left the Safe Zone gates would be the moment their bodies transformed into zombies, trapping their souls within, and leaving them paralyzed and helpless.

When the time came, he'd hand these pseudo-zombies over to Go Okrim in the farm, where they could toil tirelessly.

As for when they'd be released? Ha, did they really expect forgiveness from the one they'd betrayed? They could find release by detonating their own souls—if they dared.

As for those who'd been swayed into joining the enemy's side in the skirmish, merely blacklisting them from the Green Basket Vegetable Shop wasn't enough. In the Pyeongseong Safe Zone, anyone caught stealing or looting others' property faced a standard punishment: a year of labor clearing wasteland.

Amid a chorus of cries and protests, the patrol team rounded up every single one of them.

Meanwhile, Han Gwonhee and Hwa Jian regrouped and resumed their business operations.

Do Seungjin who is sticking close to Kim Haru, waited for the crowd to disperse so he could discreetly hand over the core of the pigweed to him.

This time, he'd learned his lesson; he wouldn't present a gift in front of such a large audience.

As for the Draco Virtus Squad…

Jang Dojang walked over to them with a cheerful smile. "Welcome, honored guests from Haneulsae Safe Zone. Please register at the reception area and then rest at the guest quarters. As you can see, our Safe Zone Commander is quite occupied today."

There was no immediate way to deal with Draco Virtus Squad, but that didn't stop Jang Dojang from ensuring the reception team prepared a "special" room for them. After all, the Pyeongseong Safe Zone was poor and shabby, right? So a few cockroaches, rats, mysterious stains, and some stinking leftovers were only to be expected.

Oh, and with our severe supply shortage, fresh, clean bedding was out of the question. Stone slabs would have to do in place of bed frames. As for food, there wasn't much, so either they'd have to fend for themselves or simply go hungry. Experience tales with My Virtual Library Empire

Jang Dojang didn't feel that his actions were excessive in the slightest.

If anything, he felt he hadn't done enough.

Who told them to target Mr. Kim the moment they arrived? Did they think he and his people were fools? Couldn't they see it was the Draco Virtus Squad pulling the strings behind the scenes? Hmph.

Kim Haru also received an apology from the Pyeongseong Safe Zone Commander: "We will find a way to ensure the Draco Virtus Squad receives their due punishment. Just give us a few days, sir."

Kim Haru nodded.

He didn't mind waiting a few days; patience had always been one of his strengths.

Putting these unpleasant matters aside, Kim Haru turned his gaze to Do Seungjin. He recalled that this head researcher had gone to look for the pigweed core. Judging by his expression, it seemed he'd found it.

Dealing with vile people was simple—snuff them out. Nothing was as satisfying as farming, raising pigs, and tending to the orchards.

On his way to find someone from the patrol team, Han Gwonhee ran into Jang Dojang, who'd just heard about the situation. Without delay, Jang Dojang returned to inform the leader of the patrol team, and the Safe Zone Commander soon got wind of the matter and decided to join them.

They encountered Do Seungjin on their way, so by the time Kim Haru saw them, the group had naturally gathered together.

Do Seungjin didn't have any opinions about Kim Haru becoming the Vice Safe Zone Commander; he was more focused on Kim's animals. The moment Mr. Kim looked in his direction, Do Seungjin eagerly approached.

"Mr. Kim, I found the pigweed core—intact, without a single scratch."

Do Seungjin said as he reached into his bag and pulled out a perfectly round object, offering it to Kim Haru.@@novelbin@@

It was a ball about the size of a fist, woven tightly with dense plant roots that made it resemble a ball of yarn at first glance.
