Episode 68
“That kind of thing… … “There was.”
Seeing Doisu looking genuinely surprised, I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart.
thank god.
You didn’t know this either.
If they knew the information, they would have had to provide something else in exchange for the helicopter price(?).
I provided ‘information’ to Doisu, who sent the helicopter, and fortunately the information was useful.
Although the news of Yoo Ji-won’s death became known to the public, the content was quite different from the truth.
His body, which was closer to a monster than a person, his cannibalism, and even the content of his battles.
Well, I didn’t expect them to report it properly from the beginning.
No parent wants to know that their child has become a monster that eats people.
Also, from the Glory Guild’s perspective, it would be a loss for the guild’s respect if they knew that I was the one who actually killed them even though the best elites were dispatched.
Groups that are blinded by external gains and ignore the truth.
The more I learn, the more disgusted I become with associations and guilds.
“I feel disgusting.”
This guy.
Are you using mind reading?
Doisu expressed exactly what I was feeling.
“This is not just a matter of saving face. If Yoo Ji-won was transformed for a reason other than runaway… … “There is a need to clearly investigate the cause.”
“They will take care of it on their own.”
“… … Hunter Haeseon Cheon doesn’t seem to trust the association.”
“You didn’t know?”
Doisu smiles at my subtle gaze.
“no. I guessed it. “I was just waiting to see when he would reveal his true feelings to me.”
Doisu did not ask at all about Dr. Jin, who came with him.
Unusually, this was the same for Dr. Jin.
They only exchanged cautious glances with each other and did not exchange direct conversation.
So I came to the following conclusion:
Those two already know each other.
Dr. Jin used to be a member of the Hunter Association, and Doisu’s company also worked with the association, so there must have been a connection.
Do Isu pretending not to know Dr. Jin is a kind of consideration.
Because Dr. Jin is currently living in hiding.
Doisu listened to the story about the people who followed me and expressed his opinion in a cautious tone.
“I thought it was strange at first, but now I think I understand. “The person who hired the killer must be an ape.”
“I thought there was a possibility, but… … . Ape is the vice president of the Hunter Association. “I thought he was a pretty calculating person, but would he have tried to make a deal where he would lose everything if he got caught?”
“I would have done it.”
Doisu answered quite clearly.
“That’s how parents think about their children. “Even if something is considered irrational and reckless, you will do anything when it involves your children.”
“… … .”
“Oh, of course, that doesn’t mean it was a good thing. I just understand it emotionally, that’s what it means. “Rumor has it that he did everything he could to make his children into capable hunters, but I think it’s just retribution.”
“I guess it’s a similar reason why the CEO has been so good to me from the beginning.”
“haha. That’s right.”
From the moment I first met Doisu, he had a very friendly attitude towards me.
There may have been some degree of calculation behind it, but even taking that into account, it felt like the favor was one-sided.
I thought it was too much for preventing my children from almost being scammed, but it seems different from a parent’s perspective.
“We are still analyzing data from the Haenam-dong area following the lab explosion incident. If any meaningful information comes out, we will share it with Hunter.”
“thank you.”
“Oh and… … .”
“?”
“Businessmen like us sometimes receive various offers. “Some of them offer to do illegal work for us.”
“Like, say, a contract murderer?”
Doisu flinched for a moment, but then smiled bitterly.
“yes. Of course, I never agreed to a deal, but I was able to pretend to be interested and get some information out of them.”
If you’re not careful, you could end up getting grabbed by them.
However, Doisu is a person who can handle such behavior.
“If the people who targeted Hunter Haeseon Cheon were from the past ‘S’ rankers, then there is only one criminal organization of that level.”
“Where is it?”
“Tenebra. “This is an organization led by Kang Hyeon, who was once called the best hunter in Korea.”
“Tenebra… … .”
I have heard of the name Kanghyeon.
Although it was a long time ago, he is a person with excellent fighting skills, so much so that there is an anecdote that he beat Gu Geon like a dog during a fight.
I’ll have to check further for more detailed information, but if the people we killed today are really members of Tenebra… … .
“I guess I’ll have to stay alert for a while.”
“Please be careful. Although he has retired from active duty, Kang Hyeon is a man who was once called the strongest.”
This is something I can’t help but nod my head at.
I realized in today’s battle that dealing with hunters is much more difficult than dealing with monsters when they are of similar level.
I don’t know, but Kang Hyeon, the leader of Tenebra, is probably a stronger opponent than Oh Jin Ah.
It’s fortunate that the people in Tenebra don’t know about the abilities I have.

If even one of the two had come back alive, the situation would have turned against me.
First of all, this side had the advantage in terms of information power.
“Now that things have turned out this way, how about joining a guild? “If you join a large guild, even Tenebrae will have a hard time doing anything to you.”
“Then we can’t do the Poison Dungeon deal we promised with the CEO.”
“No matter how important the transaction is, will you only focus on Hunter’s safety?”
Although he is a man who is good at paying lip service, this time I feel sincerity from Do Isu.
I slightly raised the corner of my mouth towards Doisu.
“Do not worry. “I also have my own thoughts.”
* * *
“I have something to report urgently.”
The ape jumped up from his seat at the words of the secretary who entered the vice president’s office.
So much so that the secretary was embarrassed by the excessive movement.
“Vice President… … ?”
“Oh, no. Please report.”
The fact that the secretary skipped the formal reporting system and came straight to the vice president’s office means that the matter was that serious.
Did they finally succeed?
Since this was news we had been waiting for day and night for several days, it was not surprising that there was an overreaction.
The enemy who killed his son.
For the apes, nothing was more important than the news of Cheon Hae-seon’s death.
“An explosion of ether occurred in Busan… … . “There were two deaths.”
“Two people?”
“yes?”
The secretary tilts her head at the repeated strange reactions.
My mind is elsewhere because I lost my son.
I just vaguely think that way.
But the apes had a good reason.
‘There was only one person who asked me to kill him in the first place… … .’
Were there any casualties in the process of defeating Cheon Hae-seon?
How did healer Cheon Hae-seon kill people?
The ape asked hastily, without even thinking about sitting back down.
“Has the identity of the deceased been confirmed?”
“yes. “One of the two only had his right hand left, but the DNA information remained in the association, so it was confirmed right away.”
The ape’s eyes protruded as if they were about to pop out.
Hunters are basically required to record their DNA information with the association.
This is because there are cases, like now, where only part of the body remains, making it difficult to identify.
In other words, the confirmed deceased is ‘Hunter’.
But unfortunately.
Among the dead people the secretary told him about, none of them had the names he wanted.
“Identities of the deceased are Oh Jin-ah and Na Ji-hwan. “These are two expelled hunters whose whereabouts were unclear.”
“what… … .”
The ape stared at the secretary with a blank face, unable to even respond properly.
Did he hear it wrong?
However, the name that was heard again did not include Cheon Hae-seon’s name.
why.
Cheon Hae-seon, who was told to die, is fine.
Are you saying that only strict people were looking for them?
“These idiots… … .”
The ape chewed in an inaudible voice, then changed its expression.
“All right. Please organize the contents and send them by email.”
“yes.”
As soon as the ape confirmed that the secretary had left, he took out the device given to him by the yellow head.
I completed the sentence by pressing hard enough to bend my fingers as I wrote each letter.
[How do you handle things? You failed!]
Contrary to his hasty feelings, the reply did not come quickly, and the ape felt like his blood was drying up.
Oh Jin-ah and Na Ji-hwan were people who did not need to search for information.
Because they were both high-level hunters who were labeled as first-degree wanted criminals.
If the apes had known earlier that the two had joined forces, they would have applauded and welcomed them.
An ‘S’ rank esper and an ‘A’ rank knight are making a joint attack, so how can a single healer handle it?
However, it was the names of those two people that brought news of their deaths.
‘Why is the location Busan again?’
As far as the ape knew, Cheon Hae-seon and Busan had no special connection.
You said you lived in a rental village in an open building from birth until now.
The ape checked the details of the crime scene again, but could not find any special clues.
All that was confirmed at the scene was a large pit with no end in sight and numerous electronic machines that had been shattered piece by piece.
A mechanical facility based underground.
It is normal for an association official to feel something strange.
In fact, if you were an ordinary ape, you might have thought of someone special.
However, such an inference could not have been left to an ape who had gone insane due to the grief of losing his child and his hatred for Cheon Hae-seon.
yes.
Actually an hour.
However, for the apes, a message was received only after eons had passed.
[I will go see you soon.]

Concentrate with all your mind and walk.
One step, another step.
Been doing that for two hours.
In the end, she couldn’t bear it anymore and an angry voice came out.
“Shipal! “How long do I have to do this?”
There is no such thing as when.
From the beginning, I planned to continue until she went crazy.
“Oh, I just finished.”
“Ugh. “Look at me sweating.”
Bisu, who has been in hiding the entire time, unlocks his abilities and reveals himself.
It’s not that she isn’t, the nape of her neck is wet with sweat.
Even the thin t-shirt is soaked, so the curves of the upper body are clearly visible.
Is it because they have the same red hair?
Oh Jin-ah and Bi-su, who suddenly appear naked, appear overlapping.
“Why are you blushing? “I’m the one having a hard time.”
“that… … “I also focused in my own way.”
Although I made up a bit about it, it didn’t mean I lied.
Because I concentrated all my attention the whole time I was walking, detecting the presence of a dagger.
But I completely failed.
Even now that the poisoner’s level has reached level 2, and even now that his telekinetic power has reached ‘S’ rank, the ‘stealth’ of the beast has not been felt.
“It was perfect. “I think your hiding skills have gotten better?”
“It’s all because of that damn lizard. “I practiced even more desperately because I still had the trauma of being bitten before.”
– Kuwang.
“Isn’t that a compliment?!”
Bisu loses his temper when he sees Pori proudly sticking out her stomach.
I burst out laughing once and then organized my thoughts.
Bisu’s hiding is perfect.
If even I can’t detect it, it’s comparable to Oh Jin-ah.
All that’s left now is a contract.
“You and me, let’s do something together.”
“Day? What happened.”
“hmm… … . “What should I say?”
For example, should we call it a counterattack?
From the beginning, I had no intention of just sitting still and getting beat up.
Tenebra or something.
If I have to fight anyway, I will destroy it first.
