Han Dae Sung Returned From Hell Chapter 43

# 43

043

When you wash away the unpleasant odors on your body with a stream of warm water, you will find yourself humming classical music with your mouth.

“Hmm hmm hmm.”

Lee Seok-woo enjoyed a shower in the rising steam.

Shoot!

A stream of water swept over his strong body and gathered into the holey drain.

It has a slight bright red color.

Tak- Lee Seok-

woo left the bathroom, wiping off the moisture from his head with a towel.

“Ugh huh huh…”

At the top of the highest floor of the < Hongma > headquarters building, which Lee Seok-woo uses as a penthouse and office.

There was a man kneeling there, sobbing and holding his breath.

Lee Seok-woo, who was naked and had no intention of looking down, passed by the man without even giving him a glance and walked to the shelf where the hair dryer was placed.

“Uh huh huh huh…. Please, please, just save my life-”

Weeeeing-!

The noise coming from the hair dryer drowned out the man’s sobs.

Lee Seok-woo’s self-absorbed eyes slowly scanned the interior scenery reflected through the full-length mirror.

“Hmm hmm hmm.”

There are three men diligently mopping.

There are two men sweeping the floor with a wet mop.

There was a man on his knees, trembling and terrified.

And one body.

Pick – Lee Seok

-woo turned off the hair dryer and opened his mouth, putting a white gown over his naked body.

“I’ll save you. Instead, let’s just make one promise.”

Lee Seok-woo slowly approached the kneeling man, carefully avoiding the blood stains all over the cold marble floor.

He was none other than Heo Jeong-woo, a man dispatched from KHA’s surveillance department.

Along with his appointment, he was tasked with reporting the disposition of < Red Demon >.

Although I am alone now.

“If you promise to keep that promise, you can get out of here alive.”

Lee Seok-woo bent his knees and was at eye level with Heo Jeong-woo.

Heo Jeong-woo couldn’t even make eye contact with his face covered in tears and snot.

Seokwoo Lee asked.

“how is it. “Not bad conditions, right?”

“Yes, yes…”

“You didn’t even hear what the promise was, so what did you… don’t worry. “Because it’s not difficult.”

Lee Seok-

woo straightened his back and stroked Heo Jeong-woo’s head affectionately.

His fearful spasms subtly moved up his wrists, giving Lee Seok-woo a thrilling sense of catharsis.

“You just have to go and say a few words to Association President Park Jeong-ho. Now, I’m going to tell you, so just repeat it. Don’t make a single mistake.”

“Yeah huh….”

“’Me.’”

“I me….”

“’Don’t touch that.’”

“Don’t touch that….”

“’Mara.’”

“Don’t do it….” ”

“What?”

“Don’t touch me…”

“Good job.”

That time when Lee Seok-woo smiled and tapped Heo Jeong-woo on the cheek.

One of his subordinates, whose hands were covered in blood, handed something to Lee Seok-woo.

It was a red gift box with a pretty ribbon tied around it.

Seok-Woo Lee thanked his subordinate for his hard work and placed a gift box in the hands of Jeong-Woo Heo.

“This is a gift from me to KHA and Association President Park Jeong-ho.”

“Ah uh uh….”

“I hope my message in the gift is conveyed well.”

Heo Jeong-woo held the box with trembling hands and shed tears endlessly.

A gift box with some weight.

Heo Jeong-woo knew very well what was inside without having to undo the ribbon or open the lid.

“Woo wow…”

In a corner of the office next to Heo Jeong-woo, who was slightly nauseous and crying.

The body of Kim Seong-su, a senior surveillance officer who came with him, was lying there.

A body with its head cut off.

***

The next day.

“Rotten.”

From early in the morning, Daesung regretted his mistake and cursed.

Tiring-!

Tiring-!

This is because the cell phone on my bedside table was beeping the alarm non-stop.

An alarm being sent by none other than the KHA official site application.

I liked installing the app, but I turned off the alarm.

Daesung, who regretted his mistake in judgment, turned off the alarm that was ringing at this very moment and operated his cell phone.

‘I’ll have to check.’

The place I accessed was the KHA official site application.

After going through a simple authentication process, a bulletin board that only authorized hunters could access was activated.

Han Dae-seong.

Awakening grade: A

License code: qnb268

‘According to my research, it doesn’t reach S rank.’

Of course, he was not judged as A-level because his capabilities are lower than S-level.

The maximum grade that can be granted through Auror measurement is Class A.

Starting with S-class promotion, a new standard is presented that cannot be converted into numbers or scores.

‘It was stated that only those who made great contributions to the country and humanity as hunters could become S-class.’

In other words, no matter how much you get an unrivaled first place in the licensing exam, you will not receive an S grade.

Unless, as a hunter, you have solved an unprecedented situation or have accumulated achievements that are universally recognized.

‘There is no need to be restricted by the S-class armband right now.’

Of course, there is nothing wrong with reaching S level as the amount of money you can earn increases.

However, the A-level position he has achieved is not bad. No, it’s just as good as S-class.

The income they will earn in the future will be enough to overcome the poverty they are currently experiencing and make Hye-jeong and Ji-soo rich for eternity.

There is room for further improvement, so I am not giving up.

However, there is no need to rush into the S-class position.

‘Opportunities are always open, and when that opportunity comes, you just have to be prepared to grab it and not miss it.’ As

it

was still early in the morning, Daesung looked at Hyejeong and Jisoo who were sleeping soundly.

‘Because what I truly want is my family’s happiness.’

The current conditions are enough to make that happiness come true.

A huge amount of money that can be earned as an A-level hunter in the future.

Also, a large amount of money belonging to gangsters that was stored neatly in subspace.

Lastly….

‘These alarms.’

Daesung immediately confirmed the identity of the alarm that had been bothering him just a moment ago.

I felt like I knew what it was without even having to check.

-Hello, Daeseong Han. In the < Kite > clan….

-Hello, Han Dae-seong. We are the < Heilang > clan…

-Hello, Han Dae-seong. Our

expectations were not wrong one bit.

Scouting suggestions from the Big 10 clans excluding < Red Ma >.

Of course, the < Soul > clan to which Seong Chan-ho belonged was also included.

[The license test for the first half of this year was extremely difficult, making even our clan members hold their tongues.

Not only that, but there was also an accident that should never happen again, so many people responded that it was the worst test in history.

However, despite this, we were deeply impressed by the calm and cool response shown by the Awakened Ones, their unrivaled Auror techniques, and their unrivaled results.

We will not only provide contract conditions that will satisfy the awakened person, but also promise exceptional treatment during the contract period.] The

details of each proposal were slightly different, but the overall context was there.

Satisfying contract conditions.

Unconventional treatment, including one-on-one coaching and top-quality equipment support.

It was clear that they were somehow begging for me to come to them.

It would not be strange for the hunter who received the offer to shed tears, saying that his life had expanded.

but.

‘The premise is wrong.’

Daesung didn’t like it.

The fundamental part that exists behind all the conditions they talk about.

‘This is their plan to tie me down to them by sugar-coating me.’

From the moment you join a team, you have a superior to follow and are bound by rules to follow.

In other words, oppression.

They were coercing people in the name of choice by offering a false carrot called ‘unconventional conditions’.

There was no need to follow that pressure.

Act freely with a free body and take up everything that comes your way.

Because that is the most ideal case for Daesung.

‘It’s not worth worrying about.’

Daesung stopped the application from running without any regrets.

At that time, Jisoo, who was sleeping with me in the small room, rubbed her eyes and raised her upper body.

“…I can’t sleep because of the light from my cell phone, you damn brother.”

“sorry.”

“Are you going to start talking about it from now on, unlike your older brother? “I probably didn’t wake up because I was hungry…”

“That’s right.”

“what?”

“I woke up because I was hungry.”

When Jisoo heard those words, her eyes widened.

It’s not that strange to say that I woke up because I was hungry, but for some reason, it felt awkward coming out of Daesung’s mouth.

“Uh… if you’re hungry, why don’t you just eat the stew left over from yesterday?”

“it’s okay. Go back to sleep. “It would be best to get some sleep now.”

“What is it again? suddenly. why?”

“I’ll eat something delicious with my mom later.”

For a moment, Jisoo tried to guess what that meant, but soon understood it to mean going out to eat.

Of course, these were not words that would easily come out of Daesung’s mouth.

“Are you going to buy it for me?”

“uh.”

“Where is your money?”

“I got it. < Soul > Clan down payment.”

gulp!

Even Jisoo, who doesn’t know much about the world of hunters, knows very well that the < Soul > clan is like a large corporation.

The deposit received after signing an exclusive contract with such a place must have been a huge amount of money.

Jisoo asked, swallowing her saliva with a nervous look on her face.

“How much did you get…?”

“Hmm…”

Daesung immediately counted the amount of money stored in the subspace pocket.

500 million won by raiding the coffers of private loan sharks. In addition, there was about 1 billion won in emergency funds in Kang Hyeon-do’s golf bag.

In the case of the emergency fund, I didn’t count it in detail, but it was a sum I saw at a glance in Kang Hyeon-do’s memory of being reduced to a command, so it was probably almost accurate.

“1.5 billion.”

“….”

Five seconds later, Jisoo, who had finally regained her senses, made a fuss and woke Hyejeong up.

***

As soon as it was lunch time, Daesung and his family visited a large shopping mall near Yeouido Station.

Jisoo looked at the inside of the crowded shopping mall with curiosity.

“Wow…”

He opened his mouth slightly like an innocent child and went ahead on his own.

Hyejeong burst out laughing at the innocent look of her daughter, seeing her daughter for the first time in a while, but continued speaking as if she felt sorry.

“…since the family situation has been like this for a long time, I haven’t been able to take Jisoo shopping at the department store.”

“….”

Daesung silently placed his hand on Hyejeong’s shoulder, looking at Jisoo who was smiling brightly on the other side.

“Especially after you collapsed, you were making a fuss about making money or doing something else… You were at the age when you were buying clothes and cosmetics with your friends, so you skipped school… Ugh. “Mom has so many things she feels sorry for you guys.”

“it’s okay. On a day like this, stop talking about gloom. Let’s enjoy it too, Mom.”

When Daesung said that, Hyejeong shook off her dark mood and smiled and nodded.

Daesung’s first proper outing with his family since he regained consciousness.

The shopping mall environment itself was unfamiliar to Daesung himself.

However, when you are with your family, even that unfamiliar feeling is replaced by happiness.

“omg! oh my god! mom! mom! Check this out! “Don’t you think mom would look really pretty if she wore this?”

Like a child visiting an amusement park for the first time, Jisoo took Hyejeong by the hand and looked around.

Daesung took a step back and watched the scene.

Grinning.

Probably the first time.

A true smile, not a mockery or a laugh, was drawn on his lips.

The three of us were looking around the inside of the shopping mall.

Hyejeong’s steps stopped in front of the show window of a multi-shop.

For a moment, Hyejeong thought she was staring at something, but then she took a step forward.

“Is that what you want to buy?”

However, he could not escape Daesung’s keen attention.

Hye-jeong shook her shoulders and looked foolish.

“What what?”

“The bag over there. You looked at it like you wanted it. You can be honest, Mom. “I will buy it for you.”

“Well, what…what woman doesn’t like expensive handbags?”

Daesung chuckled.

Let alone an expensive handbag, she was desperate to carry heavy plastic bags to the grocery store every lunch and dinner to feed her sons and daughters.

It was a natural duty for Hyejeong, and she never once felt like that duty was a burden.

Even though she didn’t have a single cheap clutch bag, Hyejeong didn’t show any signs of regret.

‘My mother deserves to be rewarded for all her hard work.’

It would be like giving an expensive handbag as a gift to Hye-jeong, who has devoted her entire life to nothing in return.

If the conditions were right, as a son, I had to do it.

“Go and choose, Mom. “I’ll buy it for you.”

“Oh no. Boy. Still… how expensive is this?”

“I told you. I received a large down payment. I’ll buy it for you. No, it’s because I wanted to buy it for you.”

“Son…”

Hyejeong felt more moved by Daesung’s desire to buy her a gift than by the handbag itself.

Compared to that warm heart and young sincerity, the value of the handbag is probably good.

“Jisoo, pick whatever you want to buy. “Clothes or anything.”

“and! Really? There is no softness?”

“Go quickly and choose.”

“Oppa is really the best!”

Jisoo ran around and went straight into the clothing store.

Since he was not a person who could easily shake off the poverty that was ingrained in him, everyone had no choice but to become unfamiliar with luxury.

Still, the clutter will gradually decrease as time passes.

The happy smiles on Jisoo and Hyejeong’s faces proved that.

‘Good job becoming a hunter.’

Daesung was more than satisfied with the fact that he could bring this kind of happiness to his family for eternity with the income he would earn in the future.

‘I will protect that smile even if it costs me my life.’

At the same time, I made up my mind resolutely.
