I understand, Branch Manager.

The elf who had approached Seong Jihan looked slightly surprised, then bowed his head to the masked elf.

A branch manager, huh.

The ancient elf who wore the mask last time was an executor of constellation rank, but if hes the branch manager of the loan, what level is he?

Hard to tell exactly, but he doesnt seem weaker than that Ancient Elf.

The branch manager had a pleasant smile plastered on his face.

But seeing him wearing that mask that contained immense void force, he didnt seem like an easy opponent either.

After all, this was a place that handled loans for powerful players that ruled BattleNet. The person in charge here wouldnt be weak.

This way please, valued customer.

Ziiing!

As the branch manager gestured, a green portal appeared.

That portal is it a VIP room?

You need to at least be a constellation to enter that.

Why would such a race

Ive never seen the branch manager personally handle a consultation either.

The surrounding players scrutinized Seong Jihan upon seeing the branch managers guidance, but

I have no idea.

He seems much weaker than me

Hes not a constellation, right?

Still, he has a premium membership. Hes no ordinary player.

With his power concealed and possessing a premium membership, they couldnt determine Seong Jihans strength.

A VIP room I suppressed my force to an extent, but what did he glean from me?

Shall I go and see.

Seong Jihan nodded and entered the portal.

What appeared was a vast space enclosed by brown walls on all sides.

Because the customer who just had a consultation was a tree giant, the space wasnt prepared. Please wait a moment.

Clap! Clap!

As the branch manager clapped twice-

[The VIP room environment will be changed to match your race.]

This message appeared before Seong Jihans eyes.

Then-

Ziiing

The interior transformed into a luxurious modern reception room.

Now then before starting the loan consultation, please provide the basic personal information required for the loan review.

Sitting down, the branch manager grinned and opened his palm.

A message window popped up in front of Seong Jihan.

[The Green Administrator-operated World Tree Union Loan Counter requests basic player information required for loan review.]

[Will you provide your basic personal information?]

Give my personal info to the World Tree Union?

Thats like entrusting a cat with fish.

Seong Jihan immediately pressed No and replied.

I dont want to give it.

Dont worry. Although you are one of the World Tree Unions targets, the loan counter will never leak your information.

Im a target?

Yes, youre quite famous.

Tap! Tap!

The branch manager smiled deeply and tapped his mask.

Since my senior passed away, Ive taken over this void disposal container.

Senior

That foolish senior who normally acted so high and mighty, only to get blown up by you on that planet colonization map.

The senior he referred to was likely the Ancient Elf who died along with the Brahma.

They invited me here knowing everything already.

Realizing there was a reason the branch manager personally stepped forward, Seong Jihan stared at his half-mask.

The mask the branch manager called a void disposal container, It also spewed out tremendous void when the Ancient Elf died.

You call that mask a void disposal container? The other one broke though.

This is a trash can. You can just make another trash can.

Hmm

Anyways, as the person in charge of the loan counter that must remain the most neutral in BattleNet rest assured, your personal information will never be leaked.

As if it wont leak.

How can I trust a World Tree Elves?

Seong Jihan smiled and waved his hand.

Its fine since I didnt come here for a loan anyways, I was just lured by your ad. Just give me the free gift.

Ah is that so? Normally youre supposed to fill out your personal info to receive the gift.

Clap! Clap!

As the branch manager clapped twice, an elaborately wrapped fruit basket appeared on the desk.

To commemorate meeting our target as well, Ill give it to you directly using my branch manager authority.

Youre being nice to your target without even trying to catch me.

Haha. Whats the point of catching your avatar? Plus, from my personal perspective, youre the benefactor who allowed me to inherit the void disposal container position.

Didnt you say it was a trash can?

Yes. But being in charge of this trash can is quite a high position in our union.

The branch manager continued smiling as he spoke.

But Seong Jihan didnt believe his words for now.

There could be some device in that fruit basket he gave, like the fruit the administrator gave before.

Lets see.

Rip!

Seong Jihan tore open the fruit basket wrapping.

The scent of life force wafted out from inside.

Will you eat it here? Since weve met like this, shall we have some tea time together?

Have tea with you? We have nothing to talk about.

Now, now. Hear me out. There are some things I looked into regarding that other world of yours

By other world, you mean Earth?

Swish!

Two teacups appeared on the desk, steam rising from them.

Thats right. You probably wont believe most of what I say anyways. But you can take whats appropriate and filter out the rest, no? That fruit. It would be a bit unsettling to eat it on your original planet too.

Why is that?

Fruit exists to spread its seeds far and wide. If you consume it on your planet, our seeds could spread there.

The phenomenon the branch manager spoke of.

It was something Seong Jihan also experienced when he ate the seed of life the Green Administrator gave as a reward.

For him to bring that up interesting.

Knowing it wont spread once it enters Seong Jihans mouth.

Did he mention it first to gain his trust?

Well, lets hear him out.

Seong Jihan brought a piece of fruit to his mouth and nodded.

Alright. Ill listen.

Thank you. Then, since youre busy, lets get straight to the point.

Tap!

As the branch manager snapped his fingers, an image of Earth appeared in the air.

* * *

Planet Earth From what I found out, this place was a site where our union conducted experiments long ago.

I know that. Thats why the Ancient Elf tried to personally descend there but couldnt.

Yes. Actually, such cases are very rare. The locations where experiments are conducted are all recorded. No matter how ignorant and reckless my senior was, our system basically keeps track of that much.

The branch manager who seemed to dislike his senior Ancient Elf.

He lightly dissed his senior and continued.

But the fact that he didnt know until trying to enter Earth means the experiment on Earth wasnt registered in our system After being humiliated, my senior returned and issued an order.

He arrogantly tried to descend to Earth then but had to back out.

Yes. He even asked me, his junior, to find out what happened. Seriously. He should look into it himself. He became branch manager but still thinks Im his lackey.

The branch manager looked like he would endlessly diss the dead Ancient Elf if left alone.

The dead guy is irrelevant. So what did you find out?

Ah, my apologies. I have a lot of pent-up frustration with my senior Haha. Anyways, I looked into it at my seniors order. Earth turns out some interesting experiments were conducted there.

What kind of experiments?

Crunch!

Seong Jihan asked nonchalantly while eating the fruit.

With zero trust in elves, he figured the branch manager was trying to spout more lies.

No matter what he said, Seong Jihan had little interest.

The director of the Earth lab fused himself with the World Tree. He even mixed in data from powerful races.

I dont really get what that means.

Well, you wouldnt know the situation on our side. We conduct various projects across the universe, but there is one thing we must never touch. Thats the assigned World Tree. But for some reason, the lab director touched it. He fused with it.

And?

We lost contact with the Earth side, and later the unions investigation team was dispatched there but they only sent a message saying High-level Error Occurred before going missing.

A high-level error

An experiment the World Tree Union conducted on Earth.

Did some error occur there?

Are there no details about the high-level error?

No. The report I found had the contents deleted. Such cases are rare.

Hmm

Seong Jihan looked at the branch manager who was still smiling.

It felt like rather than being unable to say due to deletion, he was deliberately not revealing that much.

Unfazed by Seong Jihans gaze, the branch manager continued.

And at the end of the report, it said Ultimately resolved the error in cooperation with the Void. Failed to recover data.’

If it was resolved, why did data recovery fail?

The Void Faction probably deleted it.

Hmm

The Void was involved, huh.

Hearing that, Seong Jihan thought of Gilgamesh.

Gilgamesh who betrayed the Void.

The fact that he betrayed means he previously cooperated with or belonged to them.

Could it be related to this incident?

So when was that error resolved?

The exact time isnt specified, but it was likely quite long ago.

I see.

If the elf says it was long ago, its probably an ancient incident.

Seong Jihan organized the information in his head.

A high-level error that occurred due to the unusual experiment of the World Tree Elf who settled on Earth.

It was ultimately resolved through the cooperation of the World Tree Union and the Void.

The World Tree Union and Void dont seem to be on good terms, but if they cooperated to that extent it was an error worthy of being called high-level.

Seong Jihan stared at the branch managers mask.

That mask the branch manager called a void disposal container, a trash can.

It compressed and stored an immense amount of void force.

If guys like them temporarily joined hands with the Void, the high-level error must have been a tremendous problem.

Anyways, perhaps because its related to the high-level error issue the higher-ups didnt register the Earth-related problem in our system. Thats why my senior was humiliated after boldly declaring he would descend to Earth.

I see.

Seong Jihan nodded and finished eating all the fruit.

The life force kept accumulating in his body.

He didnt stop there and drank the tea on the table as well.

Among the life force building up inside him, something peculiar wriggled, but

Zzt

He expelled it by igniting Heavenly Tree Descending Spirit from his fingertips.

Seong Jihan, who deliberately used his old Heavenly Tree Descending Spirit instead of revealing his enemy force.

The force only reacts with the tea too. Interesting.

What! There was something like that?!

The branch manager made a fuss upon seeing the green smoke rising from Seong Jihans fingertips.

Seeing that, Seong Jihan grinned.

Hes good at pretending to be oblivious.

So, whats the reason for giving me this information?

Im just following orders due to my seniors death

Yeah. But theres no reason for you to tell me, the one who killed that senior, right?

Shik!

At Seong Jihans question, the branch manager only smiled without answering.

Well then, will you proceed with the loan now, Target?

No, Im good. Thanks for the meal.

Come visit again next time. Well prepare an even better gift.

Are you planning to put bugs in my body again?

Swish!

As Seong Jihan said that and got up-

Bugs? Oh no, its just a means for you and us to get to know each other better.

Ill pass.

Flash!

Seong Jihan immediately logged out.

He really cleanly erased it

The branch manager exclaimed, looking at the green force Seong Jihan expelled from his body.

The World Trees Domination that even constellations succumbed to, It was completed through the combination of fruit and tea.

But for a lowest-tier race player to secretly embed the force and spat it out refined.

As expected of someone worthy of being called a target.

With this, it seems we can expect more, as the higher-ups intended.

Seeing Seong Jihan who didnt fall under the World Trees domination and cleanly spat out the force-

The smile under the branch managers mask only deepened.
