Chapter 1388
A huge commotion broke out in the Pillar Great War’s stadium when the people learned of the official statement that Ilhwa Group had released while Minhyuk was asleep.
Joy Co. Ltd. could not stop the competition just for the sake of a single individual. However, The Persistent and the Master of Life and Death immediately declared their intention to withdraw from the competition. As a result, this became the de facto ending of the competition.
Joy Co. Ltd. had heard that many players from all over the world were coming to Athenae after learning that Minhyuk had won the battle and became Athenae’s Strongest. So, President Kang Taehoon considerately allowed Minhyuk to enjoy the moment with his friends and family when he woke up.
Of course, it was not solely due to his consideration. Minhyuk’s eating addiction had been completely cured with the help of Athenae. The fact that a rare disease like that could be cured with the help of the virtual reality game Athenae was obviously very beneficial to their company.
“I AM LIVING!!!” Minhyuk shouted happily.
The people at the stands watched him as he ran around like a child with obvious tears still streaming down his face. The Beyond the Heavens Empire’s people joined him. They hugged him, teased him about being a crybaby, and cheered him on for his new life.
While Minhyuk was basking in the joy of being completely cured of his disease, a woman hurriedly entered the stadium.
“Haa... haa...” She gasped and stared at Minhyuk, who stood in the spotlight surrounded by people.
The woman’s in-game name was Rice Minhwa. She was none other than the Special Players Management Team’s Deputy Team Leader Lee Minhwa.
Lee Minhwa joined Joy Co. Ltd. around the same time Minhyuk started playing Athenae. When she joined the company, many people had dissuaded her and urged her to choose differently. After all, they heard that the Special Players Management Team was the most terrible department in the entire company.
And it was the truth. In the Special Players Management Team, they could not take their eyes off the monitor. There were many reasons, but the main one was the players’ sudden and unexpected actions and behaviors. Their long hours of work would often result in conjunctivitis, turtle neck syndrome, and even a herniated disc.
