Trait Absorption Hunter Hunter Episode 84
84. Request from the Association President
As a middle-aged man entered the association, a security guard raised his hand to stop him.
“Construction is currently underway, so no one other than authorized personnel is allowed to enter.”
Instead of answering, the man handed over his hunter registration card.
There was a name written there, Hwang Ui-cheol, along with his status as a Class A civil servant Hunter.
“I came at the request of the president of the association.”
“Oh! Is that so? Please wait a moment. I will check it right away.”
After a while, a security guard who had received the information through In-Ear gave urgent instructions.
“Hey, come this way. The president is waiting.”
Hwang Ui-cheol, who took the elevator to the association president’s office, was soon able to see the association president welcoming him with open arms.
“Welcome, Yi-cheol!”
“It’s been a while, Chairman.”
The two people shook hands happily.
“How have you been?”
“I am living comfortably thanks to heroes like you. Now, sit here.”
The reason the association president treated him so condescendingly was purely a show of friendliness.
It was never because of his high position.
These days, a world where a Class A hunter with 10 years of experience has more power than an association president who is just an ordinary person.
It was natural for the association president to welcome Hwang Ui-cheol warmly.
“I heard you had a daughter. Is she growing up well?”
“Yes. I’m twenty-one this year.”
“Oh, then maybe it’s time to wake up?”
“I’m only nineteen, so I still have a few more months to go.”
“Hehehe, if my daughter follows in her father’s footsteps and becomes a hunter, it will be a great joy for the family.”
“I hope you don’t wake up.”
“Why is that?”
“Because being a hunter is a very dangerous job.”
“But in this dangerous world, wouldn’t it be better to be a hunter than a powerless ordinary person?”
“That’s not necessarily the case.”
The two had a comfortable conversation over tea.
Since we had known each other for over six years, we knew everything about each other’s family history.
One thing.
There were some things that Hwang Ui-cheol didn’t know.
“They were controlling construction at the entrance to the association. What happened?”
Hwang Ui-cheol was unaware of the recent incident.
This was because the association president thoroughly hid the information to prevent it from spreading to the outside.
“They announced to the public that they were undergoing internal construction, but something happened.”
“Is there a reason you called me… … .”
“That’s right. It’s something related to that.”
The association president, who had been sighing, explained the circumstances of the incident with a heavy expression.
Hwang Ui-cheol’s expression also darkened after hearing the explanation.
“That kind of thing… … .”
“So what I’m saying is… … .”
The association president brought up the main topic.
“Will you take charge of the legendary sword?”
“… … Me?”
“Yes. You are the only person I can trust and leave safe to.”
“… … .”
“I don’t want you to keep it for long. Just until we can sort things out and put security measures in place. I just want you to keep it until then.”
“Isn’t it because you were worried that the things you didn’t leave in the hands of the Hunter would disappear?”
Your inventory is the perfect place to store items, but it can also be a dangerous place.
Because if a hunter loses his life, all items in his inventory will disappear.
This was the reason why the association had kept it outside for so long.
I was also anxious about entrusting an item worth hundreds of billions of won to a single individual.
“For now, we have no other choice. If we keep it outside, something might happen again… … .”
“So, should I put it in my inventory?”
“That’s right.”
“Then what will you do if I die?”
“Why would you, a top-tier hunter, die? For the time being, it would be best to refrain from entering dungeons and protect yourself. Or, you could go to a very low-level dungeon.”
“… … .”
“Of course, I will compensate you for any material losses you incur as a result, including interest. What do you think?”
Hwang Ui-cheol couldn’t answer easily.
It was a simple request to simply store one item in inventory… … .
It would be a different story if that one item were worth hundreds of billions.
“Where did you get these items?”
“Ahem, you don’t need to know that much, are you going to do it or not?”
“I will tell you.”

The association president was surprised by the unexpected answer.
“No, why? Didn’t you say you would compensate me in a way that would make me feel better?”
“I feel uneasy about entrusting something whose origin I don’t even know.”
“You still don’t trust me after seeing this for six years? This isn’t something I stole or something of unknown origin.”
“Then please tell me. Where and how you got it. I will not keep the item until I hear that. Otherwise, you should look for someone else.”
“… … Okay. Let me explain.”
When faced with such a strong stance, the association president eventually had no choice but to raise both hands.
“I went to the US last time for a gathering of heads of associations from around the world… … Do you know who I met there?”
“Who is it?”
“Justin Walker.”
Hwang Ui-cheol couldn’t hide his surprise at that name.
Ranked #1 in the United States.
He is also a S-class hunter known for being ranked number 1 in the world.
Because he was Justin Walker.
“That famous hunter spoke to me first. He said he was happy to see a Korean because he had a friend in Korea.”
Up until here, it was a normal story.
“Then he asked if I could spare some time and took me to a quiet place. He said it was an item that I got from defeating an S-class boss and gave it to me.”
“Are you talking about the legendary sword?”
“Yes. He asked me to keep the sword secretly until he went to Korea.”
“No, you can just use it or keep it. Why would you do that?”
“I asked the same thing. So think of it as a kind of division of assets. Like dividing assets among several banks.”
“So. Did you bring it just because you believed that?”
“I know. It feels weird. But it’s Justin Walker, no one else. Why does it matter? This is a golden opportunity to hook up with the world’s number one hunter.”
“I don’t even doubt it… … ha… … .”
Hwang Ui-cheol touched his forehead at the somewhat reckless action.
It was a story he had no idea about.
“You don’t have to look so serious. Just keep the items safe and give them to Justin when he comes.”
“Isn’t it because I had that item that I’m in this situation now?”
Hwang Ui-cheol’s eyes widened as if something had come to mind.
“Is Justin Walker trying to screw us over…?”
“Hey, you bastard! Are you trying to frame the world’s number one hunter? This is just a terrorist’s commotion after seeing an item.”
“But you said you came in disguised. So that means you planned it from the beginning… … .”
“Isn’t that something you can’t know until you look into it?”
“The subject of the investigation must be alive.”
“Don’t have such a pointless suspicion. Go tell the head of the criminal investigation team and get the sword. You promised, right? If you tell the truth, I’ll take care of the stuff for you.”
“… … .”
Although he felt uneasy for some reason, Hwang Ui-cheol eventually nodded.
“If I’m in danger, you should suspect Justin Walker first. He’s the only person who could be leaking information.”
“That noise again. You won’t be in danger, so don’t worry and spend some time with your family. I’ll tell the branch, so don’t do any work for the time being.”
“All right.”
Hwang Ui-cheol nodded with a heavy expression.

[Twenty women kidnapped by cult are recovering safely in hospital.]
[Police launch large-scale investigation to see if there are other victims of Daecheon Jinrihoe.]
[Followers who have learned the truth about Daecheon Jinrihoe, come out on your own.]
[Even the churches in Chungnam and Gyeongbuk have stopped coming.]
Min Do-jun smiled with satisfaction after reading the news article.
‘It is only a matter of time before the church collapses.’
The fact that Peter Kim, who was revered as a god, was dead and that he had been kidnapped and imprisoned was revealed in detail.
It will never survive as a religion.
‘It seems like all the kidnapped women are safe.’
If you look at the article that says he is recovering in the hospital, it seems that Kwak Seon-yeong and Kim Ye-seul took responsibility and brought him there.
‘We’ll have to wait and see if he keeps his promise about his face.’
He killed Peter Kim and took the holy relics.
It was a situation where even the church was on the verge of disappearing, so this was the end of it… … .
‘For some reason, I’m not being followed.’
These days, Lee Cheon-sik’s footsteps have become rare.
‘Have you put your doubts to rest now?’
I had a strange feeling because I didn’t see Lee Cheon-sik, who I hadn’t seen in a single day.
‘Well, it’s time to fold it.’
He hasn’t done anything suspicious so far, so he may really have given up.
‘Anyway, it turned out well.’
Since there are no more obstacles, you can now hunt with peace of mind and reach level 1,500.
‘Should I open some items before that?’
Min Do-jun took out two gift boxes from his inventory.
It was a mid-level random box that I had.
‘One was the one you received from the center to commemorate your promotion to Class B, and the other one was the one you got from hunting a wildcat-eyed tiger, right?’
I didn’t really have anything to use it for so I just left it there, but now I feel like opening it.
‘It goes from C-class to A-class?’
If possible, it would be nice if it were an A-class item, but anything is fine.
If it’s money, there’s more than enough.
‘use.’
I held a box and gave a command, and a pure white light burst out.
[You used an intermediate random box.]
[You have obtained a high-level random box.]
[congratulations!]
‘huh?’
I opened the random box and another random box came out.
That too has been further upgraded.
[High-grade random box]
-Category: Consumables
– Grade: A
-Effect: Randomly obtain an A-grade item
-Usage Restrictions: Level 1,500 or higher
-Description: A carefully wrapped gift box containing an unknown gift.
Unlike the intermediate level, the upper level random box is a box that always produces A-grade items.
There is no need to worry about getting a C or B grade.
‘Isn’t this worth about 1 billion at the current market price?’
Since the intermediate random box was worth 300 million, you can earn 700 million in an instant.
‘Is it because I didn’t expect it? I feel good.’
700 million won is money that can be earned in four days, but it can’t be bad to receive the money all at once.
‘The higher level random box doesn’t have the level, so I’ll use it next time… … .’
Min Do-jun picked up the remaining intermediate random box.
‘use.’
The box disappears with the light.
‘huh?’
Something small appeared in that spot.
