Episode 99
I felt my heart beating faster.
It felt like it was tingling and painful.
It’s strange.
I have never felt anything like this in over 60 years of living.
I was originally of a healthy constitution, and after awakening, I never cared about my health even more.
As Li Chang tilted his head, the door to the office burst open.
There was hardly anyone who could open the door to his office so carelessly.
Because he was the Vice President of the State and the President of the Hunter Association.
The person who came in was definitely worthy of it.
A tall man with silver hair and blue eyes.
There was one peculiar thing about the man that stood out: his arms were very long.
It almost reminded me of a monkey.
The man was not originally Chinese.
He was a person who spent a huge amount of money to recruit.
Changjeol (槍絶) Wayne.
It was the man’s title and name.
The title of ‘Jeol (絶)’ was not given to just anyone.
In fact, it was only given to those who were recognized by the world for demonstrating martial prowess in that field.
At least it meant that there were almost no opponents with the spear.
“What’s going on?”
Li Chang asked in a stern voice.
“I bring you two pieces of bad news.”
There was almost no emotion in Wayne’s tone.
He was that kind of man.
Extremely cold-hearted.
So much so that there was even a comment that he was a man who would not even blink an eye even if his wife died.
His cool-headedness was the same even in spearmanship.
At any time and in any situation, he used movements with frightening precision and without wasting any energy.
He was recognized for his inhuman coldness and held the position of director of the Intelligence Bureau.
In order to gain the upper hand in the international information war that is accelerating and becoming more intense day by day, the leader’s cool-headed judgment is essential, and he is the optimal person to do so.
If he said it was bad news, it would be really bad news.
Naturally, I wasn’t in a good mood.
Li Chang said with a frown.
“Tell me.”
“The first is that Kasir is dead.”
“what?”
Li Chang’s eyes widened as if he couldn’t believe it.
It was an unbelievable statement.
Casir, the human butcher.
He was a really strong man.
That’s why the party embraced and used him even though they knew he was a crazy killer.
Because he was a man worth that much.
But they say he died.
If it weren’t for Wayne’s words, I would have thought it was a bad joke.
However, the man named Wayne was not the type of person to say such jokes.
“I can’t believe it. I can’t believe it. Who is it? Who killed him? Is it you?”
Li Chang said with a half-confident look on his face.
Now I understand why Wayne had initially emphasized that it was bad news ‘for you’.
Wayne had a very bad relationship with Kassir.
It may have been even more so since their temperaments were polar opposites.
There were a few situations where we almost crashed.
It even occurred to me that one day we might actually end up in a situation where we exchange weapons.
Li Chang was also concerned about this and sent Kasir to another area.
“I wish it was me, but unfortunately that’s not the case. They say the person who killed Kasir was the Sword Emperor.”
“Sword Emperor? Sword Emperor?”
Li Chang unconsciously got up from his seat with a surprised expression and then sat down again.
“Kasir must have gone to Korea… Could it be that Geomje is in Korea?”
If true, it was heartbreaking news.
Li Chang also knew the fear of the Geomje well.
If Korea gained the power of such a sword, it was obvious that its neck would suddenly become stiff.
“I don’t think that’s true. It seems that Korea is also in the mood to search for Geomje’s whereabouts.”
“Then that’s a relief.”
Li Chang’s expression relaxed a little.
It was a shame that Kasir died, but it was fortunate that the Geomje was not on Korea’s side.
“This is truly unlucky. Why did you get caught by the Geomje?”
“If you live like that, you deserve heavenly punishment.”
Wayne muttered.

Although the voice was still emotionless, the content contained in the words contained bad feelings toward Kasir.
“Okay, I spent a lot of money, but I’m not using it properly… I guess I’ll have to put some effort into recruiting other S-class players. Well, anyway, what’s the second bad news?”
“That means your son is dead.”
“….”
A cold silence followed Wayne’s emotionless words.
Li Chang was as frozen as stone, staring into the empty space with an unknown expression.
His lips moved.
“…What did you say just now?”
“You said your son was dead.”
There was no silence this time.
bang!
When Li Chang slammed his fist hard, the desk made of solid wood shattered helplessly.
“Ugh…!”
Unable to control his anger, Li Chang shouted.
His hands began to throw everything around him.
I threw and broke everything I could.
thud! Clink! Clang!
Wayne was watching this with expressionless expression.
Swish!
At that moment, a plaque with Vice President Li Chang written on it flew towards Wayne at the speed of a bullet.
It was so fast that an ordinary person would not have been able to avoid it and would have been seriously injured.
However, Wayne did not blink an eye and just twisted his head slightly to avoid the nameplate.
Kwajak!
The nameplate was thrown so hard that it hit the back wall and shattered.
“Aaaah! Dead?! That kid is dead?! Say that again, you bastard!”
Li Chang screamed as if he was pouring out his anger at Wayne.
Breathtaking murderous energy flowed from Li Chang’s body.
“Calm down.”
“Calm down? Tell me you’re lying, you bastard!”
Li Chang glared at Wayne and swung his fist.
But it wasn’t just a fist.
A wind of wind arose in that area.
The force of the powerful wind was felt even on Wayne’s face.
It contained the power to easily shatter things like human bones.
“I told you to calm down.”
Wayne suddenly had a spear in his hand.
An ordinary spear carved out of bamboo.
It was a bamboo spear.
Because it was not a battlefield where life and death were at stake, I did not take out my favorite weapon, the ink spear.
However, in the hands of a master, even a wooden stick can exert tremendous power.
Even an ordinary bamboo spear could exert incredible power depending on whose hand it was held in.
Whick!
Wayne lightly extended his spear forward.
However, the momentum contained in the movement was as sharp as a knife.
Wow!
The sharp tip of the spear cut Windpung in half.
The wind blow that was split in half soon lost its strength and scattered in the air.
Wayne rolled down his window and stepped on the ground hard.
Coo!
The floor broke with a loud noise and my feet caved in.
The air in the room felt like it was shaking from the force of the advance.
The advance that Wayne stepped on brightened the atmosphere in the stadium.
Li Chang was breathing heavily in the messy office.
His eyes sank a little.
I thought I knew.
Why did that man, not the secretary, come to deliver the news?
If the secretary had come, his body would have exploded and he would have died.
“…Who is it?”
Li Chang asked.
“Geomje.”
“….”
Li Chang did not react to the answer.
He just stood there with an unreadable expression on his face.
Wayne waited for him to speak again.
After some time had passed, his mouth opened again.
“Tell me right now. What happened in Korea.”

-Ministry of Foreign Affairs summons Chinese Ambassador to Korea… Protest against ‘Chinese S-class awakened person killing Koreans’ (Breaking News)
I was surfing the Internet when a headline came up with breaking news.
Sihyeon put down the can of beer he was drinking and got lost in thought.
I knew roughly how things were going now through the Hunter Association.
We had already had various conversations with China through unofficial channels.
In short, China remained ignorant.
Kasir was not an S-class awakened managed in China, and no one knew that he was an S-class awakened.
Personally, I placed all responsibility on the individual for the incident he committed while moving to Korea.
The same attitude was held towards Bayan, who was also discovered.
Even though a human skin mask was found on the face of the dead Bayan, the Chinese government as well as his father, Vice President Li Chang, said that they did not know that their son was an awakened person and did not know that he was committing such acts.
As a father, he fully feels responsible for failing to properly manage his son, but he insisted that his son’s actions were personal and had nothing to do with the party.
In the end, he expressed deep regret to the victims of this incident, but it had nothing to do with the Chinese government.
“…Dead men tell no tales.”
Sihyeon muttered.
As soon as the Chinese government heard the news of their deaths, they probably erased all traces of them.
Since it is impossible to interrogate the dead, it is very difficult to prove a connection to the Chinese government unless there is conclusive evidence.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ official summons to protest may be for show.
If this level is not done, public dissatisfaction will erupt.
Even in China, this level of concession is acceptable.
The interview with the Chinese ambassador to Korea was clearly portrayed.
We will once again assert that we have nothing to do with the Chinese government and express our regrets to the victims.
“I do not like it.”
The number of groups I don’t like has increased.
Black cross.
And China.
Although they blatantly committed acts against humanity, they had something in common: they had a strong power that could not be controlled.
It was when Sihyeon picked up a can of beer and passed it bitterly down his throat.
Tiring.
A text message sound was heard.
Sihyeon picked up her phone and checked the text message.
[Web transmission]
Vice Principal Lee Si-hyeon.
Are you having a nice vacation?
I’ll be going back to work starting Monday, January 0th.
Please arrive at the Security Department office by 07:30.
For any other inquiries, please contact the General Affairs Department and Human Resources Department.
(000-000-0000, extension xxx, xxx)
-Director of General Affairs, Ganghwa Island Special Detention Center
“….”
It was a detention center.
It felt like the long vacation was over.
At first, I was wondering how to enjoy my vacation, but honestly, now I just wanted to go to work.
If I had known that such a terrible thing would happen, I would have gone to work a hundred times.
I was so out of it that I didn’t even know how the long vacation period had passed.
“Yes, the detention center is good. The detention center is good.”
Sihyeon muttered to herself.
◈ ◈ ◈
After a long time, I drove the car and headed to the special detention center.
As I passed through the exterior gate and parked my car in the parking lot, I felt the familiar smell of air in my nose.
It’s the smell of a detention center.
It was a unique smell of a correctional facility that could never be smelled from the outside.
I went into the locker room to change clothes.
“hello.”
Some of the employees we encounter are the first to greet us with a raised hand salute.
It was an experience I had never experienced before.
It was polite for lower-ranking people to salute first, and higher-ranking people accepted.
So most of the time, Si-hyeon was in the position of raising his hand and saluting first.
But when I became a manager, I was finally able to experience something like that.
A smile appeared on Sihyeon’s lips without me knowing.
It felt better than I expected.
Sihyeon changed his clothes and headed to the front door.
As I passed through the front door, a welcome notification finally popped up.
[Poachim is very happy when your rank increases. As a congratulation, he presents his skills and presents a better guard’s baton.]
