Chapter 281
The limousine sped along the road without any shaking.
Park Ji-hoon, who took out bottled water from the refrigerator installed inside, offered it to the elderly man sitting across from him.
“Do you want to eat?” “In this situation? And where did you learn the habit of recommending other people’s things as if they were your own?” “Then it would be okay to drink only half of it. I have that much stake until the present Myeongdong Guild exists.” Park Tae-seop, a mature man and the head of the Myeong-dong guild, glared at Park Ji-hoon, who tilted the bottle of mineral water in silence.
“You are at peace.”
After emptying just half of it, Park Jihoon leaned on the soft sheet and answered.
“Is there any reason to be concerned?”
“It’s been four months, and you say you’re okay?”
“It’s just a minor happening.”
“A sand tower collapses even with a drop of water.”
“It’s a sand tower.”
“Is the Myeongdong Guild different?”
“Five hundred Hunters belonging to it. Among them, there are only 20 A-rank hunters. It would not be wrong to say that it is a steel tower rather than a sand tower. and… … The corners of Park Jihoon’s mouth went up softly.
“The Myeongdong guild should be left out of the discussion. There’s that person, right?” “…that’s true.” He nodded his head reluctantly, but his expression was disapproving.
“What is it? What is it that keeps you so anxious? * Park Tae-seop, who was silent for a moment, opened his mouth.
feeling.”
“yes?”
“Because at my age, there is such a thing as an unknown intuition.”
under.
Park Jihoon couldn’t help but laugh inwardly. He wondered what he was going to say, but in the end it was the complaint of an old man who was over sixty years old.
‘It’s just a feeling. This is not even funny.’ Those thoughts were clearly displayed on her face. And Park Tae-seop was not short enough to not know that fact.
“You might think this is bullshit. I understand. It’s a territory that new chicks like you don’t know.”
“Oh, I’m sorry if you felt that way.”
“The way you talk that doesn’t feel sincere at all is because you’re a newbie, so you can say it.”
“Because I just don’t understand. What’s bothering you so much?”
After a short silence, one person’s name popped out.
“Jin Tae-kyung.”
It’s a name I spit out like a sigh. The name that had been lingering in my mind ever since I lost contact with Team 11.
For a moment, I thought it was a bit of anxiety about things going wrong, but it wasn’t.
His intuition, which had withstood even the cataclysm, provided an answer to this concern.
“He’s a siege gun. It can create cracks in steel towers, not just sand towers.”
Park Tae-seop reached out his hand without waiting for an answer. He grabbed the mineral water bottle Park Jihoon had left behind and gulped it down.
When I finished talking, my throat burned and I couldn’t stand it.
On the other hand, Park Ji-hoon’s eyebrows were furrowed.
‘Is the old man senile? … I admit that the process of handling things was a little smooth. In particular, there was an unexpected error regarding Black Hunter and Team 11.
But even taking those things into account, Park Tae-seop’s reaction now was too much.
It was natural that Park Ji-hoon, who absolutely believed in ‘him’, felt uncomfortable.
“I didn’t know you would rate Jin Tae-kyung so highly.”
“Because I showed you the results.”
“It hasn’t been long since Jin Tae-kyung rose to prominence.”
“It’s true that you showed a lot in that short amount of time.”
“You showed me?”
Park Ji-hoon continued with a sneer.
“Won Myung-hoon was trash. The lowest among rankers. It’s all about putting my name on it once, as if it were a good choice when talking about the Korean Wave craze. Even the guild leader knows, right?”
“I’ve heard that he was a stupid, greedy guy who disguised his skills as fame.”
“And the named monster? A horse is a named monster, and the Black Drake was the weakest among the named monsters that appeared in the past 20 years. The magic crystals that came out of the corpses were not much different from those of the A-class monsters.”
“So, can you catch that weak named monster alone?”
“There is nothing I can’t do.”
Park Jihoon’s answer was unobtrusive.
He was proud of his own skills.
Because he had a natural talent, he was honored to be chosen by ‘him’, and at a young age of less than 30, he could sit across from the Myeong-dong guild hall and make eye contact while talking.
However, I couldn’t help but hesitate at the question that followed the next moment.
“Then if you fight Jin Tae-gyeong? Can you be sure of winning against him?” “……of course.” This time, his answer was half a beat too slow.
“I think that hesitation just shows what kind of person Jin Tae-kyung is.” Park Jihoon replied coldly.
“I just thought about the past for a moment.” “Oh, did you say we were friends?” “I don’t want to talk about that. What I want to tell you is that this incident is not as serious as the guild leader thinks.” “Team 11 has not yet figured out whether they are alive or dead, and a celebrity who is currently attracting the most attention in Korea has invaded the headquarters of the Myeongdong Guild. Isn’t it serious?” “This is a stupid bastard.
That’s why he couldn’t overcome his anger and broke into the Myeong-dong guild headquarters without fear.” About 10 minutes ago, Park Ji-hoon, who was talking on the phone with team leader 1, was surprised by the sudden voice of Jin Tae-kyung.
And at the same time relieved.
‘Things will be solved easily.’ There are over 500 Hunters belonging to the Myeongdong Guild. Even though half of them had escaped through raids, a staggering number of them resided at the headquarters.
Of course, among them was the 1st team, the most elite of the guild.
“Jin Tae-kyung went into the tiger’s den. As long as he’s holding him, direct traffic and it’s over.”
Don’t worry if the reporters who smelled it interrupted you.
It’s because he, no, ‘him’ has the power to disable the camera and microphone.
“I will clean it up within today.”
Park Tae-seop muttered with an aged face.
“It’s not serious. Maybe it’s because he’s getting older, but he’s getting a bit out of his strength.”
“It is just a passing wind. It’s difficult for someone who has withstood even the typhoon called cataclysm and their legs are wobbly.”
When Park Tae-seop, realizing the meaning of reprimand rather than encouragement, closed his mouth, a monotonous cell phone notification rang somewhere.
“It’s not my phone.”

“It’s mine.”
“Who are you?”
“Chief Kim, my bodyguard. I ordered them to find out what happened to Team 11. It looks like you just arrived.”
“Good. First, ask them to erase all traces of Team 11.”
“Are you ordering me now?”
Park Tae-seop frowned and answered the phone.
“Nile. How did it go? huh? Oh yeah.”
The brow furrowed, then straightened. The pupil expands and contracts repeatedly.
Park Tae-seop, whose expression was getting more and more strange, took the phone away from his ear.
“How was it?”
“receive.”
Park Tae-seop handed him his cell phone. The veins on his forehead stood out.
“yes?’,
“hurry!”
Park Ji-hoon received the cell phone with a puzzled face and put it to his ear.
Then a soft voice like a cat’s paws pierced his ears.
– Myeongdong Guild Team 1 Park Jihoon Hunter?
Park Ji-hoon realized the moment he heard it.
The caller was not Chief Kim, whom he had met several times on the way.
His voice was youthful, respectful, yet tinged with an aura that was not easily approachable.
“It’s me, who are you?”
I don’t feel good.
An unfamiliar voice answered Park Ji-hoon’s question filled with instinctive anxiety.
– My name is Choi Min-woo.
“Who are you?”
– Ah, I belong to the Peace Guild. My job title is team leader.
“… … Peace Guild?”
_ yes.
f*ck this Park Jihoon’s lips moved.
A few words were enough to figure out what had happened. He was caught in a trap dug by the Peace Guild.
It’s obvious what happened to Chief Kim, the owner of the phone. They must have fainted from being tied up tightly, or they must be watching with pity as their cell phone is being used.
‘The Myeongdong Guild’s assholes.’ Team leader Choi’s voice over the receiver was as relaxed as that of a winner.
– I’m calling because I want to talk.
“That’s it.”
Just when Park Ji-hoon’s head was spinning tight, vibrations came from his chest.
It is not Park Tae-seop’s cell phone that he is holding in his hand.
– Hunter Park Ji-hoon?
“Hold on. Hold on.” Park Jihoon took out his cell phone from his suit pocket with his free hand and checked it.
There was a text message, and the sender was…
[1 team leader]
That’s it.
A smile of relief formed on Park Jihoon’s lips. It was clear that Jin Tae-kyung, who had entered the tiger’s den called the Myeongdong Guild, had finally knelt down on her knees.
It was only now that the balance weight that had tilted that way was corrected.
however “. uh?” The smile disappeared from Park Ji-hoon’s lips as he checked the text.
What filled the 6-inch cell phone screen was a single image file, not Team 1’s report that captured Jin Tae-kyung.
‘What is this?’ They are familiar faces.
The young man in the photo is smiling broadly with a face dripping with blood. And a middle-aged man with a blue complexion clinging to him like someone addicted to drugs.
‘Jin Tae-kyung, team leader 1?’
And that’s not all. A familiar background came into view behind the two of them.
His nameplate that read ‘Myeongdong Guild Team 1 Park Ji-Hoon Hunter’ was a decisive clue to where they were now.
and one more.
‘no way… … Didn’t anyone stop it? Jin Tae-gyeong, that one?’ A reality you don’t want to believe.
It was the moment when Park Ji-hoon’s lost eyes shook.
Ugh.
A new letter has arrived with a vibration. The content was short, but intense.
Because it crushed Park Ji-hoon’s mentality with just five words.
[Sender: Team Leader 1] When you come, Melona.
“This, this f*ck… … ? Uzijik. The cell phone in Park Jihoon’s hand was crushed like a piece of paper.
Park Tae-seop, the head of the Myeong-dong guild, who was watching them, muttered in a low voice.
“It’s f*cked up.”
[I caught the personnel dispatched from the Myeongdong guild.]
This is a text from Team Leader Choi.
A few hours ago, we split into two after burning the secret house used by the Black Hunters.
An ambush team to catch solid evidence.
and I, who demanded individual action.
It was because of Team Manager Choi’s insistence that we must capture something that could serve as evidence or witness.
‘That’s right.’ Due to the meticulous management, all Black Hunters, including Lim Young-jun, have already undergone identity washing. Of course, there is no connection with the Myeongdong Guild.
Team leader Choi pointed out that part exactly.
“Always cool and calm.’ Looking back, he never lost his direction.
There may be the role of Deacon Kim, an excellent wizard and wise advisor, but this should be considered innate.
‘With this one sure weakness has been put into our hands.’
In addition to the captured Black Hunters, even the full-time employees of the Myeongdong Guild.
This would make a great shield.
‘It can also be used as a dagger.’ She sent the picture she took earlier along with the contents that she had suffered.
Maybe it’s because it’s an adult phone, and it came out well even when I took a picture with my feet.
“Should I change my phone at this time too?”
As I muttered, someone flinched. This is Hunter from the security team I hired as my dedicated cameraman for the day.
No pay, of course.
“why?”
“Oh no!”
“Be comfortable. Instead of standing, sit on the sofa for a bit.”
“It’s comfortable the way it is!”
“It looks uncomfortable no matter how you look at it.” “It’s okay!” Is it because of the mood? It seems that the cries are mixed with the cries.
As a mediocre security team hunter, it was only natural that he smashed the elite team 1, who dared not even look at them properly.
‘The guys who came later were similar.’ The other hunters from the Myeongdong Guild who came running late also did not dare to attack me at the sight unfolding before their eyes.
Of course, there were many who were armed with a strong sense of loyalty to the company.
But sadly, I didn’t have the skills, so all the guys who ran into me were kicked out and carried away.
After defeating about 50 people like that, no one attacked anymore, and Park Ji-hoon’s office became a forbidden place where no one could enter.
I thought as I buried myself in the chair he was using.
‘He must be running like crazy by now.’ Just thinking about him makes my heart feel cold.
A middle school classmate who happened to run into on the street after 10 years.
From where to where did Park Ji-hoon’s real appearance come from?
‘Come quickly. Before it gets any worse:
Uduk.
It was at that time that the armrest of the chair was broken by the force of my grip.
“Oh, you are here!” “Guild leader!” A buzz spreads like wildfire outside the office door.
At the same time, I feel two large energies coming toward me without hesitation.
‘It’s here.’
And the next moment, the door burst open with a roar.
Kwak!
