A gorgeous woman entered the conference room, causing a commotion inside the room. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that she was a knockout. She had worn an off-shoulder dress that revealed her shoulder. The dress fit her like a glove, highlighting her sleek curves.

The dress had a slit on the side, which showed her elegant legs. Those legs looked as strong as steel, however. If someone approached her for her appearance, she could send them flying with a kick.

She was laughing, but her eyes contained a coldness. Her eyes would go well with the glamorous night, but at the same time, she looked like she would enjoy the bloody battlefield more. She was a tiger-like magician.

She was called the master of the East. She was the most powerful authority in East Asia. She was the Gemini Saint. The Gemini Saint could withstand other Zodiac Saints surrounding her in three directions.

As with most of the Zodiac Saints, she was like an empress. She radiated an overwhelming aura.

When the politicians saw her, their mouths fell open. They only regained their senses when the official from the Japanese government coughed. "Are you listening to me right now?"

"H-Heiji-nim!"

Everyone sank to the ground. Then, all of them looked in a particular direction as they sweated. Their gazes were focused on Lee Gun. The whole world knew that Lee Gun and the Gemini Saint didn't possess a good relationship.

They hated each other so much that the other Zodiac Saints had to actively stop the two of them from killing each other. In other words, the Gemini Saint and Lee Gun hated each other's guts.

Therefore, bloodshed was inevitable, especially if one thought about the short-temper Lee Gun had earlier displayed.

'At the very least, they'll try to stab each other.'

It had been a long time since the Japanese government had taken Lee Gun's assets. The Aquarius Saintess, Sophie, had been able to take Lee Gun's items by saying she was his healer; on the other hand, the Gemini Saint claimed Lee Gun's assets for national defense reasons. The Gemini Saint also said it was compensation for the damage caused to her.

Of course, her reasoning made no sense, but the Korean politicians acknowledged it anyway. They diverted Lee Gun's wealth toward her. Today was another date of the scheduled payment. The Korean politicians were supposed to hand over more of Lee Gun's assets.

That was why Lee Gun had appeared at the worst time for the politicians. However, the Gemini Saint seemed unsympathetic. She laughed as he took her seat, the best seat in the office.

The politicians gulped as they felt Lee Gun's gaze.

'We have to send back the delegation from Japan.'

'Please! Don't say anything stupid.'

Suddenly, the officials from the Japanese government laughed.

"Ah! That's right. Do you have Lee Gun's tributes which the Archer Saint tried to reclaim?

"It would be great if you transfer it to us immediately."

"?!" The faces of the Korean politicians spasmed.

The Japanese officials sighed in a patronizing manner.

"Our Saint's holy ground was ruined, and the damage is extensive."

"You told us to come quickly because the Archer Saint might take the tribute."

"We don't have much time, so let's skip the formality. Let's sign the contract."
