Episode 37
The answer from Seo Sang-ho brought a smile to Kang Jin-hyeok’s face.
Seo Sang-ho responded to one call with support from 30 people, believing that he had no choice but to lose.
The reason he made such a bold decision was not to attract Kang Jin-hyeok as a guild member.
Before becoming the head of a large guild, I couldn’t just sit back and watch him as a person, so I rolled up my sleeves and stepped forward.
As evidence, Seo Sang-ho did not ask for anything in return for this support.
“I don’t understand why the Titans behave like that when they have a guild leader like this.”
Perhaps individual power alone cannot stop a corrupt organization.
No matter how well they fly and crawl, the S-class hunters are good at hunting monsters.
Because it wasn’t politics of catching people.
“We should also prepare before it’s too late.”
The desperate words that Kang Jin-hyeok let out created a question mark in Lucia’s head.
She tilted her head 15 degrees to the left like a puppy and blinked both eyes.
“Other guilds have stepped up, do we need to go?”
“I have to pick up the fallen beans and eat them.”
After finally uncovering the Tyrant’s atrocities, it was not in my nature to just sit back and watch.
“Besides, I doubt that the hunters who came to support will work diligently.”
Seo Sang-ho is currently overseas and cannot directly control the guild members in Korea.
In that case, the one commanding the hunters who came to support would definitely be a Titan A-class hunter.
Kang Jin-hyeok thought about how the Titan Hunters had reacted when they saw him.
To put it bluntly, they were absolutely not people who were friendly to Kang Jin-hyeok.
Even while fighting for their lives, these were authors who aimed for the back of the head.
It was fortunate that they didn’t turn into enemies, let alone be friendly.
When my thoughts reached that point, I couldn’t help but go to the scene.
Kang Jin-hyeok escaped the dungeon without delay and prepared thoroughly.
Take out the expensive potion that was stored deep in the refrigerator and put it in your inventory.
I also brought a return scroll just in case.
The scroll was so expensive that it could be effective from as far away as 300km, but when else would you use it?
“Why are you so busy with everything, huh?”
Lucia looked at him with a pitiful look, her mouth covered with wind magic.
I couldn’t help but sigh as I watched him fidget and stuff things into his inventory.
“Do you plan on going today?”
Lucia sighed, saying that she would have to leave after the sun had set.
“Just wait. It’ll be over soon.”
“Hold on. Why is the guy who said it would be over soon opening the closet?”
Lucia was horrified to find the closet filled with items.
Although she felt like she wanted to stop him right away, she didn’t need to move her body herself.
Kang Jin-hyeok stopped unpacking the closet when the doorbell suddenly rang.

After dealing with the brown-haired man at the bar, Yoon Song-ho did not stop chasing him until the sun rose the next day.
Yoon Song-ho had no intention of going to sleep until he found the whereabouts of Choi Seo-hoon, who knew the secret about Tyrant.
After chasing Choi Seo-Hoon’s traces, the place we finally arrived at was a place lined with shabby-looking buildings.
It was a residential area where there were not many residents and no sign of life was noticeable.
Considering its inconspicuousness and plainness, it was a suitable place to hide.
Yun Song-ho took out the tracking item and looked around again.
‘No matter how many times I check, this is the most likely.’
Inside this compass-like item was a lock of Choi Seo-hoon’s hair that had been obtained in advance.
Unless Choi Seo-hoon’s DNA was changed, there was no way to avoid tracking this item.
“The place the arrow is pointing to is… … .”
Yun Song-ho, who was turning his head to follow the item’s reaction, fixed his gaze on one house.
“Over there.”
So far, there has been no character that has not been discovered by the effects of this item.
Yun Song-ho confidently hid himself in a nearby building.
When I came back out of the building after about a minute, the masked man’s clothes had changed.
Except that his face was covered by a medical mask instead of a mask.
Now, he looked like an ordinary delivery man you could see anywhere.
“It’s better to be prepared for the unexpected.”
Although he had never failed in his disguise, Yun Song-ho was not complacent.
While preparing a box to be delivered as a courier, he also hid a dagger in his sleeve to cut off the opponent’s throat.
He was confident that he could sever the carotid artery in less than a second if the opponent showed even the slightest suspicious behavior.
“Is it too much for a C-class hunter?”
Yun Song-ho had already investigated who lived in the house he was planning to visit.
“He’s a hunter who’s become a hot topic on the Internet, but… … .”
There is no way he can be my opponent.
Yun Song-ho was confident of that.
Even if you catch a new monster and attract attention, you’re just lucky.
Even if he had good luck, it would be too much for him with his skills that were only C-class.

There are more than 15 hunters that he has dealt with without anyone knowing.
Among them, there wasn’t a single hunter below B-class.
Yun Song-ho, full of confidence, pressed the doorbell without hesitation.
Only after the ten-year count had passed did a voice come from inside.
“who are you?”
“It’s a delivery.”
A magical answer that will make anyone open the door.
As expected, Kang Jin-hyeok also opened the front door without hesitation and stuck his head out.
“A delivery?”
Yoon Song-ho sensed that there was something strange about Kang Jin-hyeok’s attitude.
Most people would pay attention to the box the delivery person brought.
It was natural to be more interested in the box that would become your belongings in the future than in the delivery man who would just pass you by once and then leave.
But Kang Jin-hyeok stared at the assassin disguised as a delivery man rather than the box.
‘Did I get caught?’
Yun Song-ho thought to himself that it couldn’t be true.
If it was just a simple change of clothes, it would be okay, but the feeling of discomfort has been eliminated with skills, and even the perception of the person facing the other person is blurred.
This camouflage technique was so effective that even an A-class hunter couldn’t notice it until the moment his throat was cut off.
It wasn’t something that a C-class hunter who often wandered around the streets would be able to see through at a glance.
Yun Song-ho firmly believed in his own abilities and did not lose his composure.
“Yes, you are Mr. Kang Jin-hyeok, right? Please sign here.”
Yoon Song-ho handed a ballpoint pen to Kang Jin-hyeok.
The moment you touch this pen, a numbing needle will come out and prick your finger.
It is a poison that can instantly paralyze even large animals, so even hunters would have no chance of resisting it.
All you have to do is cut his throat with the knife hidden in his sleeve without touching the pen.
It’s a truly perfect situation.
Yoon Song-ho thought that there was absolutely no way for Kang Jin-hyeok to escape this situation safely.
But there is no absolute in this world.
Kang Jin-hyeok, who checked Yoon Song-ho’s karma level, suddenly snapped his fingers and made a sound.
“omg!”
The arrows flying from inside the house were faster than I could understand why he did such a thing.
Yun Song-ho was able to avoid being hit in a vital spot thanks to his instinctive body movements.
“Kwaaak!”
As Yun Song-ho, whose shoulder was pierced by an arrow, took a step back, Kang Jin-hyeok’s right fist hit his jaw squarely.
My consciousness faded as the shock transmitted through my jawbone shook my head.
Yun Song-ho opened his eyes wide, realizing that if he lost consciousness here, everything would be over.
“Shit……!”
Yun Song-ho turned his body backwards as if he was about to collapse and fell under the railing.
Then he hurriedly left the place without looking back.
Kang Jin-hyeok watched the scene quietly and then raised his hand to stop Lucia’s actions.
Then she let go of the bowstring she had been pulling obediently.
“Are you just going to leave it like this?”
“It’s okay. He’ll come back anyway.”
“How do you know that?”
“There’s no way a person who came this far with such a plan would just let it go after failing once.”
The assassin’s karma level that Kang Jin-hyeok saw was over 900.
The number of people who trafficked in order to gain Alaune’s favor was between 200 and 300, but the number of assassins was more than three times that number.
Perhaps, for him, killing a person is more common than stepping on an ant.
“I don’t know why they’re after me, but if I do it right, I can use them.”
I was just about to attack the Tyrant Guild branch and was wondering what to do about the aftermath.
Even if the Titan Hunters came to support, that wouldn’t be a solution.
If we blame the Titans, there’s a good chance that we’ll see an all-out war between Tyrants and Titans.
This guild, which attempted to create the illusion of Alaune by capturing and burying people, would not hesitate to start a fight in the middle of the city.
Kang Jin-hyeok didn’t want such a fuss to break out in the slightest.
If you can blame someone, it’s better to have someone who has nothing to do with you and is worth less than the cost.
And just then, the person who best fit those conditions came to my house.
From Kang Jin-hyeok’s perspective, it was like a pumpkin rolling in with its vines.
“The problem is how to attract that human being… … .”

While Kang Jin-hyeok was pondering, Yoon Song-ho, who had left the residential area, sat down in an alley, gasping for breath.
Yun Song-ho took a rag out of his pocket, bit it tightly in his mouth, and pulled out the arrow embedded in his shoulder.
“… … !”
I was barely able to hold back my screams thanks to the rag I was biting, but instead my jaw was about to fall off.
Yun Song-ho sprayed a potion on the wound to stop the bleeding, then wrapped a bandage to complete the first aid.
I never dreamed that I would be using the first aid techniques I had learned in preparation for an emergency against a C-rank hunter.
“No, I’m not a C-class hunter.”
Shaking his head, Yun Song-ho thought of the person in the room.
It was difficult to see clearly because it was obscured by the shadows, but it was clearly a slender figure holding a bow.
How could he shoot arrows so fast with a body that you’d wonder if it even had any muscles attached to it?
If you borrowed the power of skill, you should have at least B-class or higher.
Otherwise, there would be no way I could have shot his shoulder so easily, avoiding even the blow of an A-class Hunter right before my eyes.
“I guess there’s someone watching over me.”
Yoon Song-ho admitted his mistake.
I underestimated my opponent as a C-class hunter and didn’t even consider the possibility that he might have helpers.
It was a reckless action that a veteran should not have taken.
“We need to investigate more thoroughly before we make a move.”
Yun Song-ho gritted his teeth and got up.
The arrow missed the vital point, and after first aid, he was able to move without any problems.
Since his pride would not allow him to just sit back and do nothing, Yun Song-ho planned to take another chance today.
“I will make you regret daring to do such a thing.”
If Choi Seo-hoon’s whereabouts had been revealed obediently, it might have ended with him fainting.
But since he rebelled so fiercely, I couldn’t just let it pass without killing him.
For the sake of my colleagues, these elements of anxiety should have been nipped up early.
