Overgeared

ted China, he wouldn’t acknowledge Mei Xiao.

-Grid’s favorite food is jjampong! Chinese noodles!

-Grid is pro-China.

-Simple fools.
You are deceived by lip service.

-It ’s lip service to acknowledge Mei Xiao’s skills…? He is telling the truth.
Why is it lip service? Aren’t you an offensive jerk?

Looking at this, the offensive jerks were split up between China and Korea.
The friendlier Grid was, the better the situation became.
Since the loss of Khan, Grid became even more aware of this important fact.
He should refrain from acting emotionally and making too many enemies.
The effect was great.

A reporter from Argentina asked gingerly, “Did you kill Seuron first for the same reason as Mei Xiao?”

‘No, it is because Seuron spread rumors about hemorrhoids.’

…Grid suppressed the words rising in his throat and barely managed a smile.
“That’s right.
I was wary of Seuron, who becomes stronger as the casualties increase.”

30 minutes passed by.
The questions and answers continued for a short period of time.

“You used a skill two times in a row.
What type of ability was involved?”

“I will only say it is a hidden card.”

“Did you promise a one on one match with Kraugel in advance?”

“No.”

“It is rumored that there is criticism among a very small number of people in South Korea.
They say the overall ranking of South Korea is lowered as a result of you participating in the competition as an individual rather than as part of South Korea.
What do you think about this reaction?”

“I fully understand their feelings.”

“How do you rate Zibal who has returned after a long time?”

“I am impressed with his rapid development.
He is one of the players to be most cautious about.”

“People are calling God of War Ares as the most likely candidate to be the next Demon King.
What do you think about this?”

“I also expect Ares to be one of the candidates.
The other one is Pope Damian.
I think will be really scary if the gates are guarded by Rebecca’s Daughters.”

“The power of the Overgeared Kingdom has grown over the years.
Do you have any plans to expand the Overgeared Kingdom?”

“Please only ask questions related to the National Competition.”

…And so forth.
Time flowed on very smoothly.
Reporters asked questions that the audience might be curious about, and Grid responded to them with skill.
The ‘most viewed news’ all over the world was filled with Grid’s press conference.

The press conference itself ended smoothly.
The reporters showed expressions of slight disappointment, but most of them wanted to maintain their relationship with Grid and didn’t ask any inflammatory questions.

At this moment, a reporter raised his courage and asked a question, “It is known that Grid has received offers to be an advertising model for Bentley, Rolls-Royce, Maybach, and other luxurious car brands.
Then shortly after the Demon King Subjugation ended, you made a remark that suggested you’ve signed a contract with Daejin Motors.
Is the reason why they were able to grab you over the world’s best brands related to Player Yura?”

Daejin Motors had become famous because of Grid’s words.
Now, everyone in the world knew the brand Daejin Motors, and they also knew that Yura was the granddaughter of the chairman of the Daejin Group.
It was easy to make the relationship between Grid, Yura, and Daejin Motors.
Still, the reporters hadn’t asked blatantly because it was a personal question.
Indeed, the sharp-eyed staff members were trying to pull away the American reporter who asked the rude question.

However, Grid stopped them.
Surprisingly, Grid had been waiting for this question.

He faced the dozens of cameras lined up like a wall and pulled out the answer he had prepared.
“I chose Daejin Motors because I personally like the new luxury King General Sys from Daejin Motors.
Originally, I was going to sign with a supercar that you know well.
Then I happened to walk past a Daejin Motors car dealership and saw the King General Sys on display.
I entered the sales office in a bewitched manner and tried it out with the recommendation of a friendly staff member.
It was unbelievably beautiful and drove well.
Of course, there was a part that was regrettable.
It was released as a luxury brand, but the price was quite inexpensive compared to the world’s top three cars.
Thus, some of the specifications didn’t satisfy me 100%.
I wanted to have a King General Sys and put in an inquiry with Daejin Motors.”

“…What was the inquiry?”

Grid was openly doing promotion.
The reporters knew the truth but had to ask the question.
This was why Grid stopped talking at that part.
Grid looked somewhat excited as he said, “Daejin Motors were willing to design the God General Sys just for me.
I was impressed by the prompt customer service of Daejin Motors and decided to become their model.”

“…” The atmosphere of the press conference became awkward.

“What is the God General Sys? Did we decide to make it for Grid?” The Daejin Group employees doubted their memories.
Grid was so earnest that it was confusing whether it was fiction or fact.

The president of Daejin Motors started sweating.
“…We need to make it.”

“It is a car that the whole world will be interested in.
It needs the best design and specs that aren’t lacking compared to the Rolls-Royce.”

“Yes…”

Along with protecting his valuable colleague, Grid got the advertising fees and a new car.
Of course, the Daejin Group enjoyed astronomical advertising, so it wasn’t a loss.

‘This great guy is helping me?’

After the press conference, Grid came out of the conference room and found Yura waiting for him.
Had she been crying? Her eyes were slightly bloodshot.
Her appearance stimulated his protective instincts.

“Are you okay?” Grid couldn’t help reaching out.

“Would you like to eat ramyun in my room?” Yura suggested.

Click.
Click click!

The reporters who left the conference room one step later than Grid let out a burst of camera flashes.

“Eh?”

Unlike the embarrassed Grid, Yura stood close to him.
The reporters looked like they had gained a scoop.

Peak Sword watched from a distance and asked Coke, “If Yura and Jishuka fight, who will win?”

“I don’t even dare imagine such a thing…”
