Episode 72
How should I accept the current situation?
The ape’s mind was a mess of confusion.
I thought I had caught all the fish, but guess what?
I thought Kang Hyeon was going to cut off Cheon Hae Seon’s head at any moment, but he fell to the ground with his sword.
The ape just blinked without saying anything.
Why is Cheon Hae-seon, an S-rank ‘healer’, able to shoot black flames and gain the upper hand in a fight with Kang Hyeon?
No way.
It was a scene that his common sense could not understand.
“surprised?”
After checking Kang Hyeon’s belongings, Cheon Hae-seon slowly approaches the ape.
“… … !!”
The ape, feeling suffocating in fear, reflexively took a few steps back.
He is the one who killed Kang Hyeon, who was called the strongest of his time, with a single sword.
Killing yourself would be easier than catching a fly.
My whole body trembled from that instinctive fear, but my voice, filled with evil, remained the same as before.
“Gah, how did you catch Kanghyeon??”
“Because I’m stronger.”
The ape was left speechless by the absurdly simple answer.
Cheon Hae-seon slowly walks towards the ape.
The black blade still sprouted from his arm.
“When making a request, you should have checked the status of the person receiving the money.”
“situation… … rani?”
“If it were me, I wouldn’t give 90 billion won to a poison eater.”
Solo.
Even the apes were well aware that Kanghyeon was a poison addict.
In fact, the reason Kang Hyeon came down from the title of the strongest and the reason he gave up all honor and chose the life of a hermit was all because of poisoning.
“The poison… … “What’s wrong?”
Phew.
What answered the ape’s question was not Cheon Hae-seon, but the blade in his hand.
The black blade rising from black ether pierced straight into the ape’s heart.
“Go and hear the reason from your son.”
“nice… … crane… … .”
Red blood tears flow from the ape’s eyes.
Cheon Hae-seon felt uncomfortable at the sight of his child Yoo Ji-won’s end in a similar state.
However, the ape has already crossed the river of no return.
He couldn’t keep alive the person who even hired Tenebra to kill him.
The justifications are already overflowing.
The image that apes have had so far will soon be completely torn apart.
However, if the contents are revealed, one’s abilities will also be revealed.
There was a possibility that the scope of movement would be reduced accordingly.
“for now… … “I guess I’ll just leave it at the level of multi ability.”
After watching the fallen ape for a while, Cheon Hae-seon made up his mind.
A flame-type esper and healer.
Cheon Hae-seon will become famous as a hunter with multi-ability in the future.
Of course, even that is only a portion of his abilities.
Hwareuk.
Cheon Hae-seon gathered the bodies of Kang Hyeon and the ape in one place and released ‘poisonous flame’.
The reason he decided to reveal the abilities of ‘esper’ rather than ‘night’ was because of poison.
If black ether is confirmed in the body, there is a high possibility that Poisoner’s identity will be discovered.
‘Eradication’ is essential to remove the poison left in their bodies.
It would be correct to say that it was completely consumed by flames during the battle.
“Ugh… … .”
The foul smell of a burning corpse irritates Cheon Hae-seon’s nose.
Fortunately, the ‘poisonous flame’ energy was so strong that within a few seconds, the two bodies disappeared without a trace.
“This scent makes me feel like a fairy.”
Cheon Hae-seon moves to the place where the battle took place.
Yellow leaves were scattered on one side of the fine dirt floor.
Latus.
The petal that Bisu delivered contained a substance that was vulnerable to poison addicts.
Addicts who smell Latus immediately feel a strong headache.
During the battle, Cheon Hae-seon deliberately lured Kang Hyeon to an area where Ratus was spread, and did not miss the opportunity when Kang Hyeon, a poison addict, showed a weakness.
The only thing that Kang Hyeon was ahead of Cheon Hae-seon was in terms of physical strength.
Compared to Cheonhae-seon, the level of telekinesis was also increased, and it also had a weakness called Latus.
Moreover, doesn’t Cheon Hae-seon have the ultimate weapon, Black Ether?
These were the reasons why Cheon Hae-seon was confident of victory against Kang Hyeon, who was called the strongest of his time.
“It’s going to be noisy for a while.”
In a space filled with intrigue, hatred, battle, and the smell of blood, Cheon Hae-seon muttered lowly.

“Literally, it’s something that’s going to be in the newspaper.”
Pyo Hyuk-gyu, wearing training clothes, swallows his saliva.
I always see people in well-tailored suits, but seeing them like this feels new.
A worn-out face with the words ‘I am a civil servant’ written on it.
However, that expression seemed far from that of a civil servant.
“I was somewhat aware that the vice president’s behavior was different from usual recently. But… … .”
“It would be strange if the person who lost their son was still fine.”
“That’s right. I was just thinking that way, but I never thought he would do such a terrible thing… … .”
Pyo Hyuk-gyu watches the scene on the monitor over and over again.
What I checked frequently before meeting the apes was the recording function of the V1.
The screen would move according to my gaze, so there was no need for any separate filming technology.
The ape readily admitted that he had hired Tenebra to kill me and that his son’s death was a lie.
Perhaps I overlooked the fact that I can record?
no.
Perhaps it was because I was convinced that I would not be able to come back from that place alive.
“But I can’t see the battle scene.”
“I took it out. on purpose.”
Pyo Hyuk-gyu did not necessarily ask the question ‘Why?’
On the one hand, that reaction made me more confused.
How much do you know about me that you don’t even ask me that?
“May I ask why you handed this file over to me?”
“what… … . He also gave me a gold core… … . There may be a reason why I don’t like most people in the association.”
After drinking a bunch of cold brew on the table, I added another reason.
“If it were Supervisor Pyo Hyuk-gyu, people would easily agree.”
“… … “Maybe so.”
He is the proctor of the Hunter Qualification Exam.
However, the qualification test is an event that takes place once a quarter.
No organization has employees who only work once every three months.
Head of Internal Audit Team, Audit Department, Hunter Association.
That was another position that Pyo Hyeok-gyu usually held.
“When would you like to set an announcement date?”
“As soon as tomorrow.”
Pyo Hyuk-gyu smiled bitterly at my answer.
“… … “I see you got enough sleep tonight.”

“Did you kill it?!”
Something you don’t usually say even if you’re unlucky.
However, Goo Geon had no choice but to shout like that while looking at the TV screen.
‘Hunter Association emergency press conference’
What happened that led to a press conference?
Unless it is a very important matter, the association usually completes the work by sending out a press release to the media.
If a press conference is held as an emergency, it means that the issue is quite serious.
Gugeon watched the screen with half anticipation and half nervousness.
I tried calling the ape while the press conference was being set up, but his phone was off.
‘For sure… … ‘That was the look of a demon.’
Gu Geon thought of the face of the ape that had turned into a murderous monster.
Cheon Hae-seon killed Yoo Ji-won.
In reality, it contained numerous stories, but Gugeon did not bother to tell the detailed story.
Well, no matter what explanation Gugun gave, the ape wouldn’t have heard it.
Gugeon had some idea of what the ape that had turned into a demon would do.
The ape will kill Cheon Hae-seon.
Whatever it takes.
I was wondering when I would hear news.
smart.
“Come in later!”
“yes yes.”
Someone knocked on the door of the representative office, but Goo Geon screamed.
He couldn’t hide his impatience at the timely press conference.
“Pyo Hyeok-gyu?”
Gu Geon’s eyes opened a little wider.
I thought an ape would appear at the conference, but the person sitting in front of the microphone was Pyo Hyeok-gyu, the head of the audit team.
[hello. This is Pyo Hyeok-gyu, head of the internal audit team of the audit department of the Korea Hunter Association.]
In Goo Geon’s memories, Pyo Hyeok-gyu did not have a very good image.
Unlike the people in the association who would grab a hand whenever they stretched out their hand, he held his head up like a noble crane.
How dare you ignore the favor extended by the Glory Guild?
Even considering that he belonged to the Audit Department, it was a shameful incident.
Goo Geon dullly brushed his short sports hair.
This is because I had a strange feeling when I saw Pyo Hyuk-gyu appear on the screen.
[Last night, the Hunter Association received shocking information. The content of the report was that an insider of the Hunter Association had requested a contract murder to kill a specific hunter.]
[Pabababababat]
As soon as Pyo Hyuk-gyu finished speaking, a huge barrage of flashes poured out.
At the same time, the noise from the press conference came through the speakers.
It was indeed content worthy of holding a press conference, or rather, a press conference had to be held.
You hire a murderer to kill a hunter in Korea.
This is none other than an internal employee of the association.
It was an act no different from the police, who were supposed to protect the people, colluding with a criminal organization to kill civilians.
It is natural that the press conference site was in chaos.
It was an event that shook not only the press conference room but the entire country.
However, Gugeon was frowning for a slightly different reason.
‘Is it a failure…? … ?’
There are no idiots who carry out murder contracts openly.
If you succeed, it will be buried in secret, and if you fail, the inside story will be revealed.
The implications of the association announcing this fact were clear.
The ape’s request failed.
As if answering that thought, Pyo Hyuk-gyu continued speaking in a serious voice.
[There is an organization called Tenebra. This is a criminal group created by a group of hunters who retired disgracefully in the past, including Kang Hyeon. An insider of the association contacted Tenebra and requested a murder contract.]
After speaking up to that point, Pyo Hyuk-gyu paused a little.
As if they were afraid of the repercussions that would come after revealing their identities.
Thanks to this, the hearts of countless people watching were burned.
[The person who requested the murder contract from Tenebrae is Ape, the Vice President of the Hunter Association. The target he wanted to kill was Cheon Hae-seon, an S-rank healer who is active as an independent.]
“… … !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Gu Geon felt a chill for a moment.
This is because it felt like the entire land of Korea was shaking.
It was never a fantasy.
The S ranker’s special sense was to instinctively catch the commotion happening around the building.
[As a member of the Hunter Association, I deeply apologize for such an unpleasant incident.]
Pyo Hyuk-gyu stands up and bows his head respectfully.
Cameras once again rain down on the naturally exposed top of the head.
Even though quite a long time has passed, the commotion at the scene continues.
It was difficult for Pyo Hyuk-gyu to hold the microphone again and speak.
[The critical informant in this case was Hunter Cheon Hae-seon, the target of the murder contract. The video he provided clearly shows the conversation between the parties that clearly summarizes the incident.]
‘The parties?’
A conversation between Tenebrae and an ape.
From then on, Goo Geon thought, ‘No way.’
Although I did not know all the information about Tenebra, I was familiar with who its leader was.
A man who is like a curse to me.
A man who left behind the only negative mark in his life of success.
Surprisingly, his name caught Gu Geon’s ears.
[Last night, Hunter Cheon Hae-seon met Kang-hyeon and the ape.]
“!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
When he heard that name, Gu Geon reflexively flinched.
[The ape summoned Cheon Hae-seon, saying he had something to tell him about Yoo Ji-won’s death, and Kang-hyeon and Cheon Hae-seon fought to the death on the spot. And the result… … .]
gulp.
The sound of Goo Geon swallowing his saliva spread throughout the representative office.
[Kang Hyeon and the ape are dead. Cheon Hae-seon is safe.]
[Pababababababat]
[Oh oh!!!]
Pyo Hyuk-gyu makes a presentation, and the camera flashes.
A situation that repeats itself over and over again.
However, with this announcement, another sound was added to the news he gave.
The sound of reporters gathered at the scene cheering.
The voices were as happy as if it were their own to hear the news that Cheon Hae-seon was safe.
“Oh my… … medical charge… … .”
Slurp.
And here.
In the Glory Guild’s representative office, the only sound was the pitiful sound of Goo Geon, whose legs were weakened, collapsing on the sofa.
