A company building in Seocho-dong, Seoul.
I entered a place that, like any other building, had nothing special about it.
It looks like an ordinary building, but it is a strange place with no one coming or going from the lobby.
I started looking around slowly from the first floor.
Currently, Kim Min-ju and Han Yu-bin are simultaneously eliminating illegal hunter organizations in each region.
Of course, it was quite difficult for just two people to eliminate all the organizations in the country, so Min Yu-jin’s team also helped, but even though they are
detectives, they are ordinary people, aren’t they?
Because it was dangerous in one way or another to deal with people with special abilities, the focus was on identifying their whereabouts and collecting other information.
In addition to the sweep operation, a large-scale investigation was launched into all related cases, including the murder of a state representative, the GT construction lobby, and illegal land contracts.
In addition, all sorts of things happening in the back alleys, such as terrorist attacks on police, teachers, and lawmakers, began to be covered in the media.
Naturally, the Internet is also in an uproar, and attention is focused on ‘a certain high-ranking person’ who orchestrated all of these incidents.
In this way, the siege is narrowing from all directions.
It’s only a matter of time before the tail gets stepped on.
‘Well, if this happens, Rep. Jeong Hoon won’t stay silent behind the scenes.’
You won’t be able to hide forever when something is strangling your neck.
I’m sure they’ll try to create a hole to escape somehow.
‘First of all…’
Hiding the Hunter organization.
In the first place, those below have no contact with the upper ranks.
Rep. Jeong Hoon’s charges cannot be proven unless he is at the team leader level.
In that case, an urgent fire can be extinguished if only the team leaders are gathered together and evacuated.
However, even though Kim Min-ju and Han Yu-bin had already destroyed three teams each, the team leaders could not be found.
That means.
“They’re hiding as a group somewhere.”
An 18-story building.
I entered an office on the third floor that didn’t even have a sign.
And sure enough.
“what?”
“Kim Jun-woo…?”
“How could Kim Jun-woo be here…!”
The people gathered there welcomed me.
“I searched all the buildings in Rep. Jeong Hoon’s name. Well, I thought that if you were going to hide as a group, a place with a lot of people would be the best place.”
I quickly glanced at those present.
There were about 15 people, most of whom I had never seen before.
If I don’t know their faces, it means they don’t have that long of experience, so they’ll probably be B-level people.
But among them, there was one that looked familiar.
“Long time no see. Mr. Choi Jong-hyuk.”
“….”
It was none other than Choi Jong-hyuk.
“What are you doing here? “Your men are all being captured.”
“Even if you catch them for 100 days, they won’t get anything back.”
“I know. Well… you can just get it from the people here.”
As I shrugged my shoulders, the expressions on the faces of each regional team leader instantly turned grim.
I burst out laughing at that sight.
Am I too absorbed in this work?
They didn’t recognize the other person and showed their teeth as if they were something… It was quite absurd.
But what’s even more absurd than that.
“…I will handle it.”
The fact is that Choi Jong-hyuk stepped in front of me alone.
“Seniors, please tell the congressman that Safe House has been discovered.”
“What bullshit! “It’s been so long since you came here that you came out alone?”
“If everyone here fights, people will definitely notice. First of all, I have personal business with that guy. “More than anything…”
Choi Jong-hyuk then shifted his gaze to me and continued.
“Would you need several people who were former cleaners?”
“….”
Instead of answering, I just looked at him quietly.
Soon, the team leaders all nodded, probably feeling that what he said made quite a bit of sense.
“…That too.”
“Then please.”
“I’ll contact the congressman, so join us as soon as it’s over.”
With those words, the team leaders crossed me and left the office first.
Even when I saw them running away, I didn’t bother to chase them.
Eventually, everyone left and the two of us were left alone in the office.
“Do you remember?”
I opened my mouth first.
“You said you wanted to see my skills during the last practical exam.”
“It was like that.”
“At that time, I said that the day would come when I would show you. “I guess… today is the day.”
I took off my coat, glared at him, and spoke.
“Unfortunately.”
[Unique Skill: Demon King]
A black air current spread throughout the office.
***
Coo coo coo coo!
The moment an unidentifiable black airflow burst out, Choi Jong-hyuk reflexively raised his arms and covered his face.
But when the air current touched my skin, my whole body felt tingly.
‘What what…?!’
Tremendous momentum.
He frowned as if he was quite embarrassed by the unexpected atmosphere.
But even for a moment.
“That rumor… did you spread it?”
I asked Junwoo Kim a question.
“rumor?”
“I attacked Kim Min-ju and then criticized her.”
“Oh, that…”
Kim Jun-woo continued, snapping his fingers as if he had finally remembered it.
“Wasn’t it true?”
He openly raised his eyebrows and mocked him.
Choi Jong-hyuk chewed his teeth.
I couldn’t hold back my anger when I thought about the looks I had to receive and the words I had to hear because of that bastard.
Yes, it’s all because of that bastard.
If it weren’t for that bastard, I would have been able to continue my hunter life like before.
No, if it weren’t for that bastard, I could have done much better than before.
Even if that wasn’t the case, at least I wouldn’t have been living at the bottom.
“It’s all because of you!”
[Unique Skill: Blizzard Phoenix]
Saaaa―.
In response to Choi Jong-hyuk’s anger, a large phoenix engulfed in cold flew into the air.
Immediately, it flapped its wings loudly and poured out frozen feathers.
“Do you know that?”
However, Kim Jun-woo looked at the huge ice picks and spoke calmly.
“If you don’t have the skills or power, you don’t just show your teeth.”
“…what?”
“You’re making a fuss about your opponent, you stupid bastard.”
[Unique skill: Demon King – Awakening]
[Awakening skill has been activated]
[As of the current time, the caster transcends the existing class.]
Kim Jun-woo’s appearance began to change.
[Awakening Class: Absolute Monarch]
[The caster can freely use the power of the dimension.]
“…What!!”
Choi Jong-hyuk’s body began to tremble little by little.
But so far, anger seemed to outweigh fear.
“Fuck you, die!!”
[Unique Skill: Blizzard Phoenix]
Kwagwagwangwang—!
I poured out my skills.
The impact was enough to shake the office and dust rose up.
But Kim Jun-woo walked out of the dust like nothing happened.
None of the attacks just now could even reach the tip of Kim Jun-woo’s hair.
“That doesn’t make any sense…”
[Equipment has been created.]
[Demon Sword: Tartatos]
[Barding: Bene of Nightmare]
A shape that can hardly be considered human.
He was truly the devil himself.
[Summon: Legion]
Grumbling―.
Cracking, cracking -.
At the same time, monsters appear from the black air currents on the floor.
Choi Jong-hyuk couldn’t even tell whether the place he was in now was reality or a dream.
The unbelievable sight eventually gave me strength in my legs and I collapsed on the spot.
I thought wrong.
Can’t win.
No, it is not something that can be defeated in the first place.
“Save me… save me…”
In front of that absolute strength, Choi Jong-hyuk continued to mutter something, half out of his mind.
At the same time, urine was leaking from the leg of his pants.
“Don’t imitate a worthless villain when you have no skills.”
The moment Kim Jun-woo raised his sword high, his black and empty eyes penetrated Choi Jong-hyuk.
“Because it doesn’t suit me.”
Sigh…
One time for the sword to cut through the air.
The 18-story building was split exactly in half.
***
“Haa….”
“Oh fuck…!”
The team leaders hurried out of the building.
“How the fuck did you find it so quickly?”
“therefore!”
“Anyway, I wonder if Choi Jong-hyuk will be okay on his own.”
“It’ll be okay. “I heard he almost got promoted to B rank.”
“But Kim Jun-woo is also formidable. “If you look at what’s being said on the news, they say you’re at an A-rank level.”
“Do you believe that? The head of the company is over-marketing. “Does it make sense for someone who used to be a cleaner to be ranked A?”
“Well… now that I think about it, I’ve never seen him fight in person.”
“Even when I was at that association, I rose to the position of head of the division because of operational planning and strategy. “It’s all a media play to say that he wiped out everything all by himself.”
The team leaders talked among themselves and tried to interpret the current situation in a positive way.
But that didn’t last long either.
“Anyway, please contact the congressman quickly….”
BOOM!!!!
“…?!”
“What?!”
The building they were in just a moment ago was split in two.
“What the fuck! what’s the matter?!”
“Could it be Choi Jonghyuk…?”
“Haha! After all, Class B is different!”
But for some reason, he appeared in front of them while they were celebrating.
“They are still here.”
It was CEO Kim Jun-woo.
“…uh how.”
“The reason you are here is Choi Jong-hyuk…”
The team leaders became thoughtful as if they had seen a ghost.
He seemed more shocked by the fact that Kim Jun-woo was the one who escaped the building than by the fact that he didn’t have a single speck of dust in the battle that broke the building in two.
But even for a moment.
“Damn it…!”
“Everyone, take out your weapons!!”
Everyone quickly got ready for battle.
Kim Jun-woo sighed and opened his mouth.
“Don’t do anything foolish. “One way or another, there is no hope for you.”
“What what…?”
“You really think you can beat us by yourself?!”
“That’s true, but even if you don’t fight, you won’t survive anyway.”
At Kim Jun-woo’s words, the team leaders’ frowns narrowed significantly.
Looks like what kind of bullshit is this?
Kim Jun-woo looked at the scene and continued speaking.
“Isn’t your leader, Rep. Jeong Hoon, joining hands with the International Association?”
“…Did you know that far?”
“If you knew who was behind us, you would have let them go…!”
“That’s not difficult. However, I can assure you that if you go to Representative Jeong Hoon like this…”
Kim Jun-woo smiled.
“Everyone dies.”
“…?”
“…what what?”
Kim Jun-woo took a quick look around in front of the deserted building and quickly opened his mouth.
“The situation is not good. The police have launched a large-scale investigation, and everyone’s attention is focused on the media and the Internet. Of course, we cannot prove Rep. Jeong Hoon’s charges right away, but it is only a matter of time.”
So what should we do?
First, the emergency fire was extinguished by hiding the team leaders.
But that alone is not enough.
The dozens of people cannot be kept hidden forever, and as long as the investigation continues, the story will inevitably come to light at some point.
In that case, I would ask the International Association for help a second time.
So what can International Association do to help in this situation?
That’s the third method.
“They will first… cut off the tail.”
Kim Jun-woo continued calmly.
“If you go to the meeting place now, what will be waiting for you will not be Congressman Jeong Hoon, but assassins from the International Association.”
“…!”
“…!”
Anyway, I just picked up a dog wandering on the street and used it.
An entity that can be thrown away just as easily as it is acquired.
Even if you take care of it, there will be no setbacks and there is nothing to regret.
Because you can get new ones at any time.
“Choose. Do you want to swear loyalty to the end and be put to death, or…”
At that moment, Kim Jun-woo’s eyes sparkled.
“Would you like to ask the owner?”
