Chapter 851: Border (4)
On the day Maeng Hyo-don's biological father caused an incident, the Tiger Mansion.
The mastermind had intended to incapacitate Maeng Hyo-don before Teacher's Day.
According to Jeokho’s report after checking the recording devices, Maeng Hyo-don's biological father had brought players whose abilities were too weak to kill Maeng Hyo-don. This meant the mastermind’s strategy wasn’t enough to guarantee Maeng Hyo-don’s death.
In other words, it would have been difficult for the mastermind to kill Maeng Hyo-don with the current setup.
The mastermind wasn’t particularly interested in saving Maeng Hyo-don, but neither did they want him dead.
‘The mastermind couldn’t have been unaware of this. The plan’s success was likely based on Maeng Hyo-don getting severely injured but surviving. And with the assassination of Seong Guk-eon approaching, it’s odd that they moved at all.’
It seemed the goal was simply to immobilize Maeng Hyo-don, but what bothered me was that this was happening so close to the planned assassination of Seong Guk-eon on Teacher's Day.
As Maeng Hyo-don's attack became a variable in the operation to prevent Seong Guk-eon's assassination, I weighed my options and made a few adjustments.
"Maeng Hyo-don will visit Tanrae Middle School on May 15th. We can’t lower our guard until then."
"Understood."
Up to this point, Hwang Ji-ho nodded without question.
But merely watching Maeng Hyo-don wasn’t enough.
