Return of the Sword God-Rank Civil Servant novel Chapter 432

Su-ho said with a laugh.

“I’m not joking. I’m serious. When I accept match or verification applications, I’ll be accompanied by a lawyer. So if you’re fooling around, I’ll immediately take legal action.”

Soon the host approached; after asking the host’s understanding, Su-ho faced the camera with a more serious expression than ever and spoke.

“Then I’d like to take this opportunity to ask you all once again. Humanity is currently facing an unprecedented catastrophe. In such a time, if we each think only of our own benefit, in the end it will bring about the worst outcome where everyone dies. And along with that.......” 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

A clear sadness colored Su-ho’s face as he continued speaking.

“Everyone...... we must not take pride in having become high-level Players. That is not our pride; it is a shackle the System has clasped on us. In the old days when there were class systems, they say slaves boasted to each other about the shackles around their own ankles, didn’t they? Boasts like which slave they belonged to and what their shackles were like. Player awakening is like that. Everyone, you must never forget this. We are slaves exploited in a playground made by the System. So we must, by any means, gather our strength and put an end to this accursed era of System occupation. So I earnestly await many of your contacts. To close, I will share with you words spoken by a certain theologian.”

Su-ho bowed his head once before the camera.

Then he began to read the prepared lines.

“When the Nazis came for the communists.......”

I was silent.

I was not a communist.

Then when they imprisoned the Social Democrats, I was silent.

I was not a Social Democrat.

Then when they came for the trade unionists, I said nothing.

I was not a trade unionist.

Then when they came for the Jews, I said nothing.

I was not a Jew.

When they came for me......

“......there was no one left to speak for me.”

Finishing the recitation, Su-ho bowed his head once more.

Then he spoke to the camera in front of him.

“Ah, I almost forgot—my sincere thanks to Representative Ion of the Union Guild for providing the venue and assisting with various conveniences for Part 2 of the broadcast. Then.”

Su-ho exited.

The camera cut to the host, the host delivered closing remarks, and the broadcast ended.

*

The world flipped over.

Because of Su-ho.

Right after Part 2 of the broadcast aired, the world’s attention turned to Su-ho...... no, Su-ho became the center of the world.

And at that center, along with Su-ho, was Save the World.

Membership inquiries exploded.

Of course, not everyone joined out of goodwill.

It wasn’t just Players.

Hollywood actors, pop singers, rappers—even ordinary influencers—had to join Save the World while watching the crowd’s eyes.

Looking over the skyrocketing member count and the names of the members, Su-ho nodded.

‘Now all that’s left is to run it well.’

When accomplishing a great cause, there is no such thing as a method that satisfies everyone.

So Su-ho planned to put forth a few rules and run Save the World as lightly as possible.

‘Of course, I won’t be doing the detailed operations.’

He was busy enough handling Gates on the front lines—when would he run an organization like this?

Experts needed to handle such things.

For example, someone with experience running a large company.

Su-ho chose Ion of Union as the right person for that.

There wasn’t much to the reason for choosing Ion.

Im Cheol and Jeong Cheol-min were institution people, and though Jo Jin-hwi was the youngest son of a chaebol family, his background aside, he was just an ordinary journalist who’d never run a company at all.

Then in Su-ho’s network, the only one with such experience was Ion, with whom he had coordinated for a very long time.

And Ion, too, was very grateful for this opportunity.

For two reasons.

One, he had become the operator of the organization with the greatest influence in the world, and there was satisfaction in that.

The second was that Su-ho had mentioned his company and himself during Part 2 of the broadcast.

Thanks to that, the underground guild Union, which had been operating in the shadows, could now successfully transform its image into a clear and transparent white company that everyone praised and looked up to, instead of some gloomy underground guild.

‘To achieve my lifelong goal and long-cherished wish like this.’

So how could he not be loyal to Su-ho?

Of course, since he had been one of the few who already knew Su-ho’s true power, operating Save the World was the natural next step for Ion as well.

Su-ho said to Ion,

“Then please proceed with the things I requested.”

“Yes, understood.”

Two days later.

Budadadadadadada!!

A loud noise.

It was the sound of helicopter rotors turning.

And it wasn’t just a single one.

“Beginning takeoff.”
