Return of the Sword God-Rank Civil Servant novel Chapter 60

Suho looked down at the name he’d finally located and tucked the documents into his jacket, feeling a sense of relief.

‘Found him sooner than expected. Now, I just need to bring him in.’

He turned to Choi Yoon. "You know that safe house Union has in Cheongdam, right?”

She frowned. "How do you even know about that?”

Of course, Suho knew. Coming from a later world where gate calamities were nearly wiped out, there was little information he didn’t possess. Korea was meticulous about documentation, and he’d once had almost unrestricted access to that information.

“Well, I do know. And I’d like to use it,” he said casually.

She sighed, leaning back in her chair. “Look, the safe houses have different levels, and the one in Cheongdam is high-security...”

"Didn’t you say you owed me one?”

Choi Yoon clicked her tongue in frustration. "Getting those documents wasn’t enough?”

“Is my saving your life worth only a few sheets of paper?” he countered.

“Come on, it’s not like that, and you know it! But still... of all places, it had to be Cheongdam?” she groaned.

“I can pay if that’s the issue.”

“Ugh... does it really *have* to be Cheongdam?”

“It does. Or do I need to spell out why?”

“Fine!” she huffed, pulling out her phone to call her superiors.

After a few minutes, she returned, looking exasperated. “They agreed.”

“See? I told you they would.”

“Of course, they had conditions,” she added. “If you accept them, you can use the Cheongdam safe house for half the usual cost.”

Surprised by the discount, Suho responded cautiously, “I’ll need to know what those conditions are first.”

She sighed, realizing there was no simple answer with him. "They want you to clear a gate for them. Apparently, it’s a newly-discovered gate they haven’t posted on the grid yet.”

“A gate? I thought Union had people for that?”

“The gate’s location is too visible. Normally, securing a gate involves a lot of red tape and attention, and this one’s in Namhansan.”

Namhansan? Suho raised an eyebrow, realizing it’d be nearly impossible to redirect public attention from there. freewēbnoveℓ.com

“What’s the difficulty and theme?”

“We sent in a survey team, and only players level 110 and below can enter. The place is called Sky Mountain, and it’s full of wyverns—extremely agile ones.”

“Sky Mountain?” Suho echoed, suppressing a grin. He knew exactly which gate this was.

“Yes, Sky Mountain. And they don’t expect you to clear it alone. Just join the existing team to help them. No one expects a solo clear, even from you.”

Suho chuckled to himself, his thoughts racing. He asked, “Do the wyverns happen to have a light blue color?”

Choi Yoon blinked, taken aback. “How... how did you know?”

His smile widened. It was exactly as he remembered. "Alright. So, just clearing the place is enough?”

“Yes, but all loot from the gate must go to Union. According to the scouts, there’s a large stone mountain inside with a wyvern nest at the top. The main loot would be the wyvern eggs. If you could collect all of them, that would be ideal.”

“And how many eggs are there?”

“Six, last the scouts counted.”

“Fine. When do they want it done?”

“They said right now is fine if you’re available.”

“Then let’s go.”

“R-right now?” she stammered.

“Yes, right now. Let’s add one more condition.”
