Han Dae Sung Returned From Hell Chapter 98

# 98

“As the president, I will speak first.”

A cold atmosphere oppressed those sitting around the huge round table.

International Hunter Federation Summit.

Hiroshi Sakai, president of the federation who hosted the event, spoke first.

“I don’t think cold weather hunters are human.”

“…!”

And one word that came out of his mouth took the breath of the leaders sitting in their seats.

“Let’s see.”

There was a huge projector screen hanging on one wall of the conference room.

At President Sakai’s signal, a dedicated staff member transmitted a data screen onto the screen.

-Koooooo!!

As soon as the video came out, a huge dragon’s roar shook the conference hall with explosive force.

The leaders of the hunter associations of 16 countries gathered here swallowed their saliva with pale complexions.

‘My ears almost fell off.’

‘It looks neat in the video, but it’s scary when you see it in person.’

The screen they were watching was reminiscent of a scene from a blockbuster movie with a budget of well over 300 million dollars.

On the screen, a dragon covered in black skin and sharp scales was slaughtering an army of werewolves.

And the person who gave orders to the unrivaled dragon was none other than a man with white hair.

There was not a single head of an association in any country who did not know that man, Daesung.

“next.”

Along with President Sakai’s words, another image appeared on the projector where the slide was turned over.

Black clouds were coloring the clear sky above Korea.

The cloud that soon fell to the ground instantly changed into a skeleton soldier.

“next.”

The slide went over once more.

Grumble-!

A huge sword engulfed in flames swung in a semicircle and swept away the monster.

The magma-like heat burned the entire area and even melted the nearby CCTV.

Even watching the video, beads of sweat were forming on the back of my neck.

President Sakai continued speaking while various other data screens were repeatedly repeated.

“In your opinion, presidents of the association, do you think it is possible for this power to come from humans? As the president, I don’t think so.”

Soon, the screen showed an image of a very large gate that had recently appeared.

However, there was something else that caught the eye more than the presence of the gate.

‘Eyeball’ floating in the night sky.

And it was the army of ‘Heavenly Demon Soldiers’ pouring out of those eyeballs.

“I have turned a blind eye even when the Han Dae-seong hunter showed a power that was not understood by common sense. “That goes for you too.”

Today, etheric engineering dominates the world as a new industry.

It has been assumed that humanity has not yet explored even half of this unknown energy discovered in the other world.

Therefore, I believed Daesung’s claim that his power was an ‘Auror technique’, as it was considered to be a ‘half-truth’ that had not been explored.

but.

“I think this has already gone far beyond the line that we can just ignore.”

The human summons a sword of fire in his hand and commands the legion of the dead.

He rode a black dragon and summoned fallen angels with wings from the sky.

No matter how much I thought about it, it made no sense.

“The reason I called you here today is-.”

The audience, caught in silence, focused on President Sakai’s next words.

“I’m here to ask your opinion about summoning Hunter Daeseong Han to a hearing hosted by the federation.”

The sound of people gasping for breath could be heard quietly among the audience.

The conference room, which had been filled with silence, was buzzing.

“It’s a bit suspicious.”

“First, we need to find out the exact source of that power.”

“It’s definitely too much to leave it like that… It’s a serious matter that the Federation doesn’t know the identity of that power.”

The association presidents sitting at the round table each began talking in their native language.

The expressions of the interpreters looking at the scene showed perplexity.

“Oh no. wait for a sec.”

and.

President Park Jeong-ho, who was one of the members at this meeting, realized that the atmosphere was unusual.

“Wait!”

Instead of barely restraining himself from almost kicking himself out of his seat, Park Jeong-ho raised his voice.

The noisy leaders fell silent and focused their attention on Park Jung-ho.

President Sakai’s eyes narrowed.

“The next time you speak, please raise your hand. Please speak.”

“May I ask why Hunter Daeseong Han is being summoned to the hearing?”

“To hear it directly from his mouth in front of the entire world. What is the identity of his power? Is he really human? “Is it on our side?”

“No, what is that…”

Is that really what you mean? Park Jeong-ho had a puzzled expression.

Even if the first reason is true, the rest are so hard to believe.

“I’m sorry, but I don’t understand! Are you on our side? “He is a hero who single-handedly closed the giant gate on behalf of others!”

“What if it’s a self-made play?”

“….”

All the rebuttals that came to Park Jeong-ho’s mind were erased with that single word.

It’s not that it’s such a perfect theory that we couldn’t find a way to destroy it.

It was so absurd that I was speechless.

“A self-made play…?”

“The hunter Han Dae-seong is actually on the same side as the monsters we are against. “They may have pretended to close a large gate to deceive us.”

“What is that….”

“Has President Park Jeong-ho never had any doubts? “The fact that humans single-handedly closed such a huge gate in just one day?”

“On what basis are you saying that, President?”

“Is there any reason to say no?”

President Sakai stared at Park Jeong-ho, who was speechless, then looked around at the presidents of associations from other countries and asked.

“Can you say no?”

No one could open their mouths.

There was also no atmosphere where President Sakai was using his position to forcefully suppress the situation.

In other words, everyone except Park Jung-ho agrees with President Sakai’s opinion.

At that time, the man sitting at the 8 o’clock position at the round table raised his hand.

He was Claude Noiret, the head of the French Hunters’ Association.

“Please speak, Chairman Claude.”

“I don’t know if everyone has ever imagined this. “What if that power that the Cold War Hunter has is aimed at humanity?”

The moment Claude said that in a low voice, goosebumps ran down the spines of the other leaders.

On the projector screen, the annihilating dragon was still showing its violent ferocity.

“First of all, one thing is certain. “The moment he becomes hostile to humanity, we will literally be fighting an unprecedented enemy.”

Park Jeong-ho showed a dejected reaction.

He couldn’t understand why everyone was listening so seriously.

Claude’s opinion continued.

“We need to hold a hearing to find out the true nature of his power. and-.”

Claude trailed off as he focused his eyes on the annihilating dragon, the commanding officer, and the Heavenly Demon soldier on the screen.

“We might have to officially bring his summons under the federation.”

Park Jeong-ho glared at Claude with wide eyes.

Since the two sat in a position where their eyes met each other, Claude was able to observe Park Jeong-ho’s expression.

However, he did not mind at all and focused on what he was saying.

“It’s too dangerous for an individual to handle. “Shouldn’t our alliance hold the leash, not the cold-weather hunters?”

“That makes sense.”

After receiving Claude’s opinion, President Sakai nodded.

The atmosphere in the conference room was reaching its conclusion. President Sakai concluded the summit meeting held today.

“We will decide by majority vote. “If you are in favor of summoning the cold hunter to the first hearing in a week, please raise your hands.”

Okay.

Excluding Park Jeong-ho and Chinese Association President Jang Jeong-young, who was absent due to a family funeral.

Everyone raised their hands.

“oh my god.”

Park Jeong-ho couldn’t believe that this skit was actually happening in reality.

***

The core elites of < Country > are dead.

The news that several of America’s best hunters had died in one day was enough to shake the world.

Even more so if the disaster was caused by the mistake of the renowned hunter ‘Grant Norris’.

But two days later today.

Breaking news even more shocking than this one after another heated up the Internet and news.

< At 9 a.m. today, American S-class hunter Grant Norris was found dead at home... > < After the investigation, it was revealed that Grant committed suicide by hanging himself, causing great shock. > < He left a suicide note . . The suicide note states that 'Country' attempted to lure a hunter from Han Dae-seong to the gate and kill him... >

The moment the news arrived on the Korean peninsula via the United States, public opinion showed an explosive reaction.

Not long ago, people who experienced the mega-gate incident criticized < Country >.

Rather than being shocked by Grant’s suicide, they were outraged that one of America’s greatest clans would commit such an evil act.

└ It’s a disgrace to the country. What is this?

└ Please, due to this incident, Mr. I hope Han is not disappointed in America….

└ Mr. Does anyone know something like an email address? I also want to apologize to him on his behalf.

└ < Country > Wasn’t there a place with a lot of ghost stories in the past? It turns out it was all true.

In particular, in the case of Americans, they expressed their apologies to Daesung on behalf of the clan.

From what I heard, they did not know Daesung’s direct email and instead sent a gift containing an apology to KHA.

Among them were long letters written one by one by hand.

The association official, who was quick to notice, first sent the letter to the officetel where Daesung lived.

KHA was also worried that Daesung would be angry because of this incident.

“You’re in a really bad situation, too. Murder attempt? “I saved something for you, and it’s not like I’m asking you to hand over a bundle, it’s like they stabbed me in the back, right?”

“In the end, it was they, not me, who got hooked.”

“You’re quite tough too.”

Seong Chan-ho first opened the package sent by the association and checked its contents.

The recipient was Daesung, but he didn’t really care.

Seong Chan-ho’s eyes sank low as he opened the envelope and read the long letter.

After a while, Seong Chan-ho burst into laughter and handed Daesung a letter.

“Read this.”

“….”

Daesung silently received the letter and looked down to read its contents.

It was a letter from a nine-year-old boy living in Seattle, USA.

English sentences written in crooked handwriting. Since it was written by a child, it was natural that it was rambling and contained a lot of nonsense.

however.

The last sentence touched Daesung’s heart, which was as dry as a desert, just a little.

-Thank you! My hero!

Seong Chan-ho, who had left an appropriate amount of time to allow Daesung to read the entire letter, opened his mouth.

“There are not all bad people in the world. In particular, the people who thought it was country or idiots were just trash.”

“okay.”

“You are a hero that everyone knows. “It’s a world of difference from two years ago when I was in an unconscious vegetative state.”

I guess it’s pure concern as a friend.

Seong Chan-ho hoped that Daesung would not close his heart to the world because of this incident.

And that worried feeling was fully conveyed to Daesung.

But you have to say what you have to say.

“But I can’t help being angry at trash.”

“….”

Seong Chan-ho knows that those words didn’t come out of nowhere.

Seong Chan-ho smiled bitterly and then turned his attention to the Internet article that appeared on the computer screen.

< An emergency summit meeting was held today at the International Hunter Federation. The main agenda has not yet been revealed.... > Chan

-ho Seong knows what the secret agenda is and what conclusion was reached.

That had to be the case because it was information that Daesung himself told me.

“As long as it’s a hearing, no good words will come out. “Is it okay to treat a damn person like this?”

Chan-ho Seong, who saw the article on the Internet, became even more angry and ground his teeth.

“What the fuck is this? I can’t do anything. “It’s not something that can be done just by asking Association President Park Jeong-ho.”

There was no way that a statement from the president of the association, one of only 16 countries and a small land in Asia, would have any power.

“Daesung, first of all, at the hearing-.”

Seong Chan-ho, who was about to give advice that wasn’t advice, paused for a moment.

This is because Daesung suddenly stood up and tried to leave the officetel.

“Where?”

“Where are you going? “I’m going to go attack the gate I reserved.”

“huh?”

“Are you going to lose your money?”

Daesung looked at Seong Chan-ho as if asking something obvious.

Seong Chan-ho nodded, although he was dumbfounded because it wasn’t a mistake.

“Uh huh. “I have to go.”

But looking at Daesung’s calm face, I couldn’t help but wonder.

‘Am I in the mood to attack the gate?’

***

[Sorry, Daesung.]

I was heading to the gate toward Eungam-dong where Daesung had made a reservation.

I received a call from Park Jeong-ho.

His voice was weak, as if he had just finished an arduous journey.

Of course, Daesung knew why Park Jeong-ho looked as downcast as a puppy that had just been hit by rain.

[Well… I’ll start by telling you what was exchanged at today’s federation meeting.]

“…”

But there was no need to show that I knew.

Daesung let Park Jeongho finish his explanation.

[-So, I think you will have to come to the federation headquarters in New York in a week to attend a hearing. A detailed official document will be sent tomorrow.]

“I understand what you mean.”

[Yes, Mr. Daesung. I’m sorry, I should have stopped it somehow…]

“Yes, I understand what you mean. It’s soon time to attack the gate. “I’ll hang up first.”

While finishing the call, Seong Chan-ho turned the steering wheel and entered the gated high school playground.

The outside of the barricade surrounding the playground was crowded with school students out to see the sights.

“It’s a cold weather hunter!”

“and! Look at the car! “It’s so bad!”

“Hey, if I ask you for an autograph, will you do it?”

The cheers of the students, filled with admiration for the hero, became louder as soon as Daesung got out of the car.

“Look at the force. It’s crazy, it’s crazy.”

“Please sign!”

Daesung lightly ignored the students who flocked to him like birds that have found their feed.

The hardships of the control staff to block the tidal wave of onlookers are not enough.

“If you give them one killer smile, they’ll all faint.”

“Chew your tongue. “Let’s go quickly.”

“It’s not fun, kid.”

The two soon stood in front of the gate.

The gate was exquisitely visible inside the soccer goalpost.

A grade 3 normal type with no special features.

To this extent, it is okay to leave the work to Hwang Jun-yeong and his party, but…

‘We need to collect life stones.’

To unlock the power of < Connection >, a life stone was needed, and the life stone only appeared when Daeseong personally killed a monster.

Anyway, you only need to fill in 43% more.

If we do well, we will be able to achieve a 100% collection rate this once.

“I’ll come back.”

“Take care. I’ll see you in 10 minutes.”

Daesung entered the gate with light steps, as if he was taking a walk.

As always, the feeling of being submerged in a deep river dominated my senses.

and.

“….”

What unfolded before Daesung’s eyes was not the natural environment of another world.

It was a sight where the net of a soccer goal was rippling as if reflected in the water.

“what?”

Feeling puzzled, Daesung took a step back and distanced himself from the gate.

He was still in reality.

“…?”

Seong Chan-ho also stood still with an expression of confusion.

The two bewildered gazes intertwined in the air.

Can’t enter the gate.
