Episode 144
Whether the seat is economy, business or first class.
Behavior patterns on airplanes don’t seem to be much different.
On the plane returning from Dubai to Korea.
“Dorolong.”
Whenever I run around excitedly at the first class facilities, Bisu falls asleep making cute noises.
Kang Jeong-hyeon was calling out a small leaf and playing with it on his palm, and Yuk Cheol-wan was tossing and turning as if he couldn’t sleep even though he was wearing an eye patch.
And Maria was checking Cheon Hae-seon’s thoughts periodically.
Because somehow I felt something strange about his behavior.
“What do you think?”
Although he usually thought a lot, Cheon Hae-seon was especially quiet today.
As if something had happened overnight, dark circles had spread all the way down to my chin.
Among the Irregular members, she seemed to be quite concerned about Cheon Hae-seon’s behavior, as she was the one who sensed changes in Cheon Hae-seon the best.
Cheon Hae-seon was so deep in thought that despite Maria’s questions, Cheon Hae-seon rested her chin and just stared out the window.
Eventually, Maria touched Cheon Hae-seon’s arm with her small fist, and only then did he flinch and turn his head.
“yes?”
“You stayed silent all day… … .”
“ah… … .”
Cheon Hae-seon smiles awkwardly and stretches once.
It’s not that it wasn’t, but I stayed in the same position for too long, so even though it was a good seat, my body felt sore.
“actually… … I met someone last night. No, should I say I lured him in?”
“Incentive? who… … .”
“The one who put Stella on the white snake.”
Then Maria’s pretty eyes changed greatly.
“You mean Franco?”
“yes. “I feel too uncomfortable to just go back.”
“… … Are you okay?”
“haha. I’m fine. “I didn’t get much sleep, but it’s okay.”
Maria shook her head resolutely at Cheon Hae-seon’s words.
“no. “Not Hunter, but Franco’s condition.”
“ah.”
Even if Franco dies and wakes up, he is no match for Cheon Hae-seon.
Maria knew this very well, and ironically, she was worried about the other person, not Cheon Hae-seon.
Given Cheon Hae-seon’s personality, I was strongly convinced that he could not have quietly advised her.
“if… … Did you kill him?”
“Hey.”
Cheon Hae-seon smiles bitterly and waves his hand.
“I’m not some kind of serial killer… … “Is that possible?”
Cheon Hae-seon stubbornly denied her words, even though for a moment he thought about killing her.
However, the innocent Maria smiled kindly as if she knew that would happen.
“I just said it as a joke. “There’s no way Hunter could have harbored such devilish thoughts, right?”
“Hmm. greatness. That’s right.”
Cheon Hae-seon cleared his throat awkwardly.
He explained roughly what happened last night.
Of course, in the process, the threats and abuse he made to Franco were kept well hidden.
“There is dark matter in CEO Goo Geon-i’s body… … .”
A shadow fell on Maria’s face, and Cheon Hae-seon internally licked his lips.
‘I wasn’t going to tell you because I was afraid this would happen.’
Although they are now going their separate ways, Goo Geon was never a light person to Maria.
Wasn’t she infinitely kind to the ‘Irregular’ with whom she had been through hardships for several months?
Maria was truly heartbroken over the downfall of the person she lived and died with for nearly ten years.
“Actually, before fighting Hunter, I went to see CEO Gu.”
“yes?”
“I had no idea about dark matter, but… … I could tell that something was wrong with CEO Koo’s body. I had a feeling that soon there would be cracks in my body. “I recommended that CEO Goo Geon-i stop competing in the rankings and receive treatment at the research institute.”
“You did something for nothing.”
Cheon Hae-seon laughed bitterly.
Having dark matter already in your body means not thinking about the future.
Goo Geon risked his life and death in this ranking match, and it goes without saying that he and Maria were behind it.
But Maria, who is no one else, comes and urges you to abstain?
Rather, it only adds to the discontent in your heart.
“Hunter is right. It was really pointless. Although he used to have strong pride, he was still a person who knew how to stay good. How could a person change like this in an instant? … .”
“If someone had taken away the person I cared about, I would have rolled my eyes.”
“… … !”
Maria looked confused at Cheon Hae-seon’s words.
“but… … Hunter wasn’t forced to do this. Leaving Glory Guild was my choice. The same goes for joining The Irregular… … .”
“Even if it were true, Gu Geon wouldn’t think that way. “Regardless of the intention, you will think that everything went wrong when I showed up.”
If it weren’t for the hunter named Cheon Hae-seon, there is a high possibility that Maria would still be with the Glory Guild.
In other words, he is a person whose very existence is a hindrance.

To Gu Geon, Cheon Hae Seon meant that much.
Anyway, although they are like enemies, the good Virgin Mary would not want anyone to get hurt.
Although he didn’t feel like it, Cheon Hae-seon wanted to take away some of the sorrow on Maria’s face.
“There are members of the Five Siders within the association. As I said before… … .”
“You mean Supervisor Pyo Hyeok-gyu?”
“yes. “The supervisor said that there is a high probability that Gu Geon went to the demon world.”
“that… … .”
“I don’t know if these words will help, but he referred to Gugeon as his ‘son’ and said he would take it away. “Normally, you wouldn’t use that expression for someone who is going to die soon.”
“There is hope in the place Mine took me… … “Is there one?”
“They say that life is better even if you end up in a dog poop. “I think there is a way to come back if you don’t die.”
To be honest, it’s none of my business whether he comes back or not, but from Maria’s perspective, it probably isn’t.
It’s a strange feeling to see Maria so relieved.
Gu Geon must have felt this way too.
A person who gives strength just by being next to you.
A being that should never be made to turn one’s back.
That person was Maria.
“Do not worry too much. The Demon World is also a place where living things live, so by now Gu Geon… … .”
“restroom.”
“Recovering in the bathroom… … “Ay!”
Suddenly, someone intervened and said some nonsense.
“Where is the bathroom?”
Before we knew it, Chen appeared and asked us a question.
As the words got mixed up, Maria forgot the seriousness of the matter and burst into laughter.
It’s already a situation where I don’t want you to go to Korea together, but you’re sabotaging it like this.
“Is the stewardess over there in shape? “Why are you asking me?”
“hmm.”
Chen walks towards the stewardess, his ponytail fluttering.
“What a strange guy.”
“Pfft. Aren’t you relying on Hunter that much? “To the point where I ask directly about even the smallest details.”
“No way.”
Maria and I had to know then.
Why did Chen bother to ask us where the bathroom was?
“excuse me.”
“Yes, Hunter. “Are you uncomfortable in some way?”
“I want to know where the bathroom is.”
“Ah yes. The toilet is located behind the seat. “You can go back to the other side.”
“ah… … . It’s backwards. thank you.”
“By the way… … .”
Maria and I, who had been quietly listening to their conversation, looked at each other without even thinking about who came first.
Oh, no way.
Probably not.
“Which bathroom do you want to use?”
“shit… … !”
As you climbed the stairs connected to the charter plane, would you ever have imagined that you would be using ‘Dokbo’ on the plane?
I rushed towards Chen, who took out a knife from his arms, and luckily I was able to stop him from leaving.
“Ouch!”
“Take it easy, you idiot. “Do you want to be taken to the Hunter camp?”
Anyway, he’s an unpredictable guy.
I didn’t think he was actually going to cut me, but the guy actually had his knife halfway out.
“And what are you going to do with that broken knife? “It would be perfect to cut some fruit.”
Chen gave me a furious look, but I nodded without blinking.
“What are you doing? The bathroom is over there. “Go anywhere, whether it’s for men or women.”
“… … .”
Chen sheathed his sword with a thud sound.
When the guy turned his back and walked away, the stewardess breathed a sigh of relief.
“sorry. “Just think you’ve met a psychopath.”
“ah… … no. I asked a question out of curiosity… … .”
A stewardess working in first class would rarely say unnecessary things.
But even in the eyes of such professional staff, Chen’s identity would have aroused strong curiosity.
After settling the situation, I returned to my seat and asked Maria.
“Until I met Chairman Lee Sa-soon… … “Would you like him to stay quiet?”
Grinning.
Maria smiled strangely.
Then he firmly shook the whale.
* * *
It is as obvious as seeing fire what Incheon Airport will look like.
There must have been quite an uproar as five unexpected Korean hunters were selected to join the spirit world exploration team.
Moreover, as news spread that he had killed Roy, one of Britain’s best hunters, he seemed to have unintentionally become an apostle of justice.
“Let’s gather together until we meet Chairman Lee Sa-soon.”
Since we arrived via charter flight anyway, there is no need to encounter other passengers.
The airport also opened a passageway for VIPs to use, so we each packed our bags and decided to disperse.
Of course, there was no way the countless reporters waiting at the airport would just let us go.
You need to throw at least one or two people as bait(?) and then get out.
One of those two people is Bisu.
The other one was Yuk Cheol-wan.
“Me?”
Yuk Cheol-Wan asks me again with a ‘Ttiyang’ look on his face.
Even so, it seems like he had no idea that he would be put into the abyss of attention.
“yes. Uncle Cheolwan is perfect. “Just this time.”
“if… … “Is it because of what I said on the stairs of hell?”
“haha. no.”
As soon as I stepped foot on the 6th floor, almost all the hunters except me fell into a state of exhaustion.
A completely different energy from the Poison Dungeon permeated the air, and most hunters found it difficult to even breathe.
Was it because the bigger the physique, the greater the sense of helplessness?
On the way back, Yuk Cheolwan gradually became limping, and later he was almost crawling.
-I can’t help it. Get on your back.
-no. Hunter.
-If we keep going like this, we won’t be able to get back in time. It may be something that has not been successful so far.
It’s like being carried on someone’s back who looks like they’re only half your weight.
Yuk Cheol-wan may have really been unwilling, but there was no way.
So, I took turns carrying the exhausted members, including Yuk Cheol-wan, and while he was on my back, he said the following to me.
-I don’t know anything else, but I will definitely repay this current debt. Hunter.
Yuk Cheol-wan probably thinks that he is being interviewed because of those words.
However, there was a more special reason why I sent Yuk Cheol-wan to the media.
“Now, Uncle Cheol-Wan has to come to the forefront as well. “You have the skills to do that.”
“… … !”
While visiting Dubai, Yuk Cheol-wan finally got his Bisu buff on his body.
Now it is possible to use buffed abilities without receiving the buff.
The fact that his complexion had returned and his expression had brightened was proof of that fact.
Bisu’s buff is no longer an ‘uninvited guest’, but has become a part of himself.
“The schedule is not far away, so please announce it and come. Reporters will also be happy that they asked about one more case.”
“… … okay. All right.”
“Bisu, you must be tired too… … ?”
Where did this go?
The dagger was not visible, as if it had been hidden.
Kang Jeong-hyeon, who was next to him, answered cautiously.
“They said I had to do an interview, so I packed my bags and left first.”
“her… … .”
You should also recognize her desire for attention.
Thanks to this, Yuk Cheol-wan will be able to conduct the interview with a lighter heart.
“Then see you in a few days.”
After exchanging greetings, we went our separate ways, and Yuk Cheol-wan belatedly stood side by side with Bi-su and started the interview.
And after a while, I was able to check the breaking news article.
