Having finished her conversation with Han Minguk, the raid leader of Team GGW, Oh Hyun-jung immediately began contacting the other clans.
Since Rose Shield had to send an expedition raid anyway, and the one volunteering to head to Vietnam was none other than the rookie Team GGW, she planned to leverage that to squeeze out as much as possible.
"...For these reasons, in response to the World Hero Association's request, we've decided to dispatch expedition raids to Vietnam on a massive scale from clans including Memoria, Strong Women, Ewha, Rose Shield, and WNK."
Standing before a throng of reporters, Lee Si-yeon, the president of the Korean Hero Association, spoke in a calm voice. With the dungeon break—the greatest crisis humanity had ever faced—already underway, the planes carrying the heroes had taken off even before her announcement.
Time was of the essence, and with the overwhelming consensus in Korea that they needed to send a raid, few reporters harbored any complaints about Si-yeon's belated statement.
"Memoria and Strong Women..."
"Yeah, those two clans should handle the spread phenomenon just fine."
The crowd nodded in agreement at the names and reputations of the clans sending expedition raids.
Memoria and Strong Women were powerhouse clans vying for the top spots in Korea's rankings, while Ewha was a solid clan firmly in the domestic top five.
Even the once-prestigious houses like Rose Shield and WNK had assembled raids of heroes more than capable of clearing lower-difficulty dungeons.
"May I ask a question?"
When one reporter raised a hand, Si-yeon nodded. The reporter stood, revealing a badge from Daehan Daily on her chest.
"Memoria, Strong Women, and Ewha Clan. All are clans with robust raid forces, so I have no doubt they'll fight their utmost for humanity in Vietnam where the dungeon break occurred."
"I agree."
"However, I'd like confirmation on the facts regarding the raid from Rose Shield. I hear they sent not their first string, but the rookie Team GGW for this Vietnam expedition."
The words from Daehan Daily's Ahn Hye-jung sent murmurs rippling through the crowd. No matter how highly rated Team GGW was, they were still a rookie raid led by a first-year raid leader. Sending such heroes into a hellhole that even veterans struggled with was shocking.
Some reporters even muttered that Rose Shield had lost its mind. Si-yeon tapped the microphone to calm them before speaking.
"That's correct. Rose Shield has selected Team GGW, led by Hero Han Minguk, for this expedition raid."
Si-yeon nodded and continued swiftly.
"Though still in their first year, Team GGW has a proven track record of conquering dungeons up to 【B-1】 difficulty. Moreover, this expedition came at the strong request of their raid leader, Hero Han Minguk."
Just as the reporters were stunned, Si-yeon herself hadn't understood Rose Shield's choice at first. She'd even snapped at their leader, Hyun-jung. Her announcement quickly spread through the reporters' embellishments.
Whoa... A rookie hero volunteered to go to a dungeon break site? If it's true, that's insane.
We have plenty of skilled heroes in our country, so why Team GGW of all people? And a precious male hero at that?
He volunteered himself.
Heroes protecting our lives deserve respect regardless of gender.
We'll cheer from home. Come back safe, everyone. Fighting!
The dungeon break in Vietnam was being treated with grave seriousness even in distant Korea. Many empathized with the Vietnamese people's suffering, as Korea was one of the few nations to have endured such a catastrophe.
As the public cheered on the heroes departing for Vietnam, Minguk was fiddling intently with his Hero Pad aboard the plane to Hanoi.
'The dungeons we'll handle are supposed to be 【B-1】 or lower, right?'
From internet searches and hero communities, he'd learned that dungeons spawned by the spread phenomenon were always lower difficulty than the originating one.
The number varied by difficulty, distributed in a flask shape.
For Vietnam's 【A-1】 break, most spawned dungeons were expected between mid-range 【A-7】 and 【B-3】.
Early intel from Chinese forces and raids carving paths through contaminated zones matched this. Dungeons between 【B-1】 and 【B-3】 were well within Team GGW's capabilities.
The issue was Minguk's limited raid experience in this world—most bosses would be new. He'd study veteran guides for tactics, but whether his team would follow his lead perfectly was uncertain.
In the end, it'd come down to brute force, solvable with the World Hero Association's promised unlimited Revival Stones. Still, corruption risk meant utmost caution.
"You've been staring at that Hero Pad for a while... Feeling worried, Raid Leader?"
Minguk closed his Hero Pad at the words from the bob-haired beauty with swaying gray locks.
In the two-seater plane seats, So-jeong had lucked into the spot beside him. Their eyes met as Minguk replied softly.
"We're facing monsters in open areas, not dungeons. Powerful ones too. And if we mess up, it could trigger a second break. Aren't you scared, Miss So-jeong?"
"Monsters don't really scare me. Just the usual dungeon fare, right? A dungeon break is a bit frightening, though."
So-jeong continued earnestly.
"But war against the darkness is a hero's sacred duty. Not just that—I'll make this expedition succeed to protect my daughter. Who knows when Vietnam's fallout hits Korea."
"...Mothers really are something else."
Minguk nodded, genuinely impressed.
Before boarding, he'd glimpsed other clans' heroes in the lounge, their faces sour.
Not everyone on his raid supported the Vietnam trip. Without that damn quest, Minguk wouldn't have volunteered either.
So-jeong smiled warmly at his words.
"Once you have kids, Raid Leader, you'll outdo me. Paternal love trumps maternal, they say."
"No way."
"Hehe. You seem more responsible than most men, so you'll make a great dad."
'A baby daddy to several women...'
Minguk grimaced awkwardly. A good dad? Hardly.
Tension over the break had kept everyone awake last night, leaving the cabin eerily silent, almost gloomy.
Minguk glanced around—eyes closed in sleep or lost in distant stares out the windows.
Even the crew stood rigidly, sensing the stiff atmosphere. Then—
"?!"
A soft hand slipped stealthily onto Minguk's lap, slowly teasing his manhood in every direction. His shocked gaze shot to Kim So-jeong.
"Easing the Raid Leader's tension is part of a sex secretary's duties."
"B-but here..."
"Just stay quiet, and it'll be fine."
Ignoring her, Minguk scanned quickly.
The cabin had two rows of four seats each. Fortunately, the right side was conspicuously empty.
Front seats too. The back had someone, head down, arms crossed—likely asleep.
"I'll make you feel good properly."
Already in sex secretary mode, So-jeong stuck out her tongue seductively. Minguk recalled her flashy techniques.
"Mm."
He'd never done outdoor play—didn't prefer it. Yet he couldn't refuse her gentle strokes. His dick betrayed him, instinctive as ever.
As Minguk's manhood swelled, So-jeong grew bolder, slipping inside his pants to stroke while deftly unbuckling with slender fingers.
Then she slowly leaned toward him.
Eyes closed, Chae-young couldn't sleep from spread phenomenon worries. How long had she lain like that?
Slurp... Gulp... Slurp...
The faint, wet sounds made her jolt. In the deathly quiet cabin, only sharp focus caught them.
But to Kang Chae-young's keen ears, they boomed like thunder—disrupting her thoughts.
'Wait, no way...?'
Listening intently, her face flushed red. It matched the sounds from last night sucking Ye-rang off vigorously.
Someone ahead whimpered "Hngh," curling up—visible to Chae-young.
'Holy shit, unreal. Not just outdoor play, but in-flight? In this mood? What crazy bitch...?'
With few men and even fewer satisfying female heroes, girl-on-girl was common. Chae-young assumed the front-seaters were women.
She twisted carefully to peek at the culprits.
'Hngh!'
Spotting them, she barely stifled a gasp. A man's face trembled—Han Minguk, Team GGW's raid leader.
A head bobbed between seat gaps—surely a GGW member.
Schlurp. Gluck.
The glans catching in her throat echoed slowly. A thick, arousing male musk spread.
'Fucking lunatics.'
Chae-young smirked inwardly at their heavy petting. Sucking off was fine, but here, en route to serious Vietnam duty? Unbelievable.
'Save it for Vietnam and fuck then. No wonder rookies volunteered—with balls like that.'
As she thought, the front shook briefly. The woman lifted her head slowly.
Through the narrow gap, Minguk's towering cock entered Chae-young's view.
"......"
Her eyes locked instinctively—woman's nature. Compared to Ye-rang's she'd enjoyed last night, Minguk's was massively superior.
'Male heroes are different, alright.'
Shame it wasn't on Ye-rang...
Tsking regretfully at the hero-worthy size, girth, and visible hardness—far beyond normal men. Even eyes closed, it lingered vividly.
'Ah... Should've gone longer last night.'
Not hers, but seeing that thick dick hardened her nipples slightly.
Her body ached from unsatisfactory sex with Ye-rang. Finish Vietnam quick for intense fun, she thought, turning back.
The front pair had finished, quietly adjusting clothes.
"......"
But Chae-young missed that the fellating woman had watched her peeking—her own slip from fixating on Minguk's huge cock.
