Chapter 107: What’s Your Name (1)
Before Yamti kidnapped the congressman, Ryu Min, disguised as Lostyak, found himself a bit puzzled.
He was pondering when the right time would be to rescue Congressman Lee Seong-hyun. His conclusion: perhaps it was best to save him after the kidnapping had occurred.
You see, Ryu Min had a particular strategy in mind. He figured that dealing with Yamti and the rest of the miscreants prematurely might not be the wisest move. Who would appreciate his efforts if no one even knew about the kidnapping?
This situation presented an opportunity, a golden chance to thrust the name of the enigmatic Black Scythe into the publics awareness. While Black Scythe was a renowned entity among players, it was virtually unknown to the general populace. In fact, some voices in the public sphere were quick to criticize players as a whole.
Among those voices stood Congressman Lee Seong-hyun, leading the charge against criminal players. Yet, Ryu Min, having built a friendship with him in the past, understood the congressman better than most. He knew the hardships his one and only son had endured and the complex feelings he harbored towards players. This insight enabled Ryu Min to grasp the nuances of the situation better than anyone else and discern the right course of action.
Its imperative to change Congressman Lee Seong-hyuns perspective, Ryu Min thought. He aimed to make people see that not all players were villains. He wanted to demonstrate that utilizing the abilities of players for noble purposes was an opportunity too good to pass up.
Why? You might ask. Well, Ryu Min had a vision. He foresaw a day when he would stand as the representative of players, and he knew that securing the support of the general public was crucial for this endeavor.
If Congressman Lee Seong-hyun came to his aid, Ryu Min believed that ordinary citizens would readily rally behind Black Scythe. Consequently, he bided his time, refraining from taking action until the kidnapping unfolded.
Or so it seemed on the surface. In truth, he was quietly orchestrating events from behind the scenes. His current mission? Shadowing Song Jaegyeom, the chairman of Player Haven Caf.
Ryu Min was well aware of the critical point when Congressman Lee Seong-hyun would become vulnerable when the six criminals hired by the chairman would spring into action.
The Chairmans script dictated that they would intervene only after these criminals publicly executed the congressman. As a result, Ryu Min had no reason to fret as long as the cabin remained free of criminal activity.
Ryu Mins decision to use the invisibility skill and tail Song Jaegyeom stemmed from this understanding.
