chapter 23
23 – Retribution (1)
“Eh, what is this… ?”
The man in the suit who came running after receiving the report opened his eyes wide.
The man’s name was one in memory.
Director of the Hunter Investigation Team, Lee Cheol-won.
High-ranking officials in the government knew about my identity, said Eugene. Inspired by that, he urgently called and reported it voluntarily. It’s not just a bully, it’s because he killed an AJ executive, so he won’t be able to fix it with halfway greetings.
Feeling a little guilty, I vaguely averted my gaze.
The body was disposed of, but there were bloodstains around it that could not be cleaned.
messed up again
How long has it been since you promised to live a quiet life?
‘orangutan. monkey. baby gorilla. A bastard who’s not even a dog.’
He cursed himself heavily and scratched his head vigorously. I need to fix this damn temper.
“He came to kill me, so I couldn’t help it.”
“You tried to kill Hunter Han Sung-hoon?”
Obviously I was wrong.
But that’s because I’m a soft-spoken bastard.
Like the cheat-level Instant Kill ability, I knew how to use this power effectively.
Didn’t he say that the guy who used to do power-ups was good at it?
“How did the alternative association manage it? Only the owner of a hole-in-the-wall shop knows about my identity.”
I narrowed my eyebrows fiercely. said the director, bewildered.
“So, did he know the information about Seonghun?”
“It was completely specific. would have said Leaking information about my identity is unacceptable. I even wrote a memorandum saying that if you keep this, you won’t belong to any guild, and that you’ll occasionally help the government in trouble.”
Of course it was Gura. never said that But isn’t there one on my side? That’s Eugene.
“Is it true?”
“… Yes.”
There was anger in the director’s eyes as he looked at my former supervisor, Eugene.
“Why didn’t you report that important fact!”
“I did. To the president of the association.”
“… … .”
As expected, Eugene’s acting skills are at the level of a top star. I covered my mouth and gave a satisfied smile.
He spoke to the director in a low voice.
“That’s why I killed him. Not only did they know my identity, but they came to kill me.”
Perfect Crime!
With this, the director lost the right to challenge me!
“… sorry. You have no face.”
As expected, the director bowed his head.
Isn’t it pretty useful for an excuse made in a short amount of time?
But it’s not over until it’s over, I let out a deep sigh and put my hand on my waist.
“Please be careful next time. I won’t hold you accountable.”
“Go, thank you.”
“There’s nothing wrong with killing him, right?”
When I asked the main point subtly, the director nodded so quickly that his head looked like three heads.
“It is a matter of course. There is no negligence at all for Hunter Han Seong-hoon. It is our negligence for not keeping our promise, and Park Moo-sung approached to harm Sung-hoon, so it is self-defense. So, we will take care of this part neatly on our side.”
‘done.’
It was fortunate that he was a communicative person. Of course, there was also a case where he deliberately called director Lee Cheol-won. Because I already knew it from previous life information. he’s a smart guy
‘The worst was averted.’
For reference, the worst case scenario was to kill the police or the hunter team who came to catch me. If you keep killing, won’t you give up someday?
As a model citizen who doesn’t enjoy killing, I was genuinely glad things worked out.

Nangjungjichu (囊中之錐).
A person with outstanding talent will show through no matter how hard he tries to hide it.
Moreover, Sung Hoon has done too many things.
In particular, the killing of AJ’s executive this time had a big effect.
Thanks to this, I was able to hear the news that a new S-class hunter appeared not only in Korea but also abroad.
In the 21st century, since the gate appeared, the standard of national status was only the Hunter.
The appearance of Sung Hoon is encouraging at a time when all over the world is doing everything possible to recruit S-class hunters.
I’m frantic about nurturing an S-class hunter called the star of the sky, but there is an S-class hunter with no affiliation?
I can’t stand this.
Of course, they immediately moved to action, and the first to move was Japan, a neighboring country.
-Yukichan, 届kimash*taka (Shion, have you arrived?)
-うん (Yes).
-今回の作戦は必ず成功shinakerebanarimasen (This operation must succeed.)
-僕だけを信じてwww (Only trust me)
“Etch.”
Incheon International Airport.
A white-haired girl carrying a suitcase entered the country.
Her name is Shion Murakami.
Although she was a small girl, she was the best hunter in Japan.
There was one reason she came to Korea.
In order to attract the recently appeared S-class hunter, Han Seong-hun, to Japan.
“来temitakattandakedo、youkatta。 (I wanted to come, but it turned out well)”
She, the best hunter in Japan, came for casting for herself.
She, who is usually patriotic, tried to recruit Sung-hoon with all her might for Japan’s prestige.
“Oishi no iappai food bete 帰ranaito (I’m going to go eat a lot of delicious food.)”
… That is actually a fake.
Xion just came to Korea to play.
It’s because the show I’ve been enjoying lately is ‘Streetside Restaurant on the Sandy Beach’.
So while I was thinking, I really want to go to the restaurants that appeared on the air someday, the opportunity just came and I grabbed it.
If it wasn’t for this excuse, I couldn’t even travel abroad in my home country.
“Dokokara 行ってミようかな (Where should I go?).”
Shion headed somewhere with gunfire.

“I will help you pay 150,000 won.”
– Crispy.
“Can I get you a receipt?”
“Fine.”
I got out of a one-table restaurant located in Sillim.
‘I’m going to have to stop here.’
Most of the interior work is complete.
Before opening, I visited one-take restaurants for the last time.
‘Because I can’t do it roughly.’
Although it is formally running a store.
I had no desire to do a little business.
Because customers come and pay.
I intend to do my best in whatever I do.
‘Shall we go to the store for now?’
It is not enough just to change the interior of the store.
I have to set the dishes, and I have to make sure that the menu board is made according to the standard.
As Eugene said, I will be busy for a while as I have to post on social media and publicize it.
I went out to the side of the road and caught a taxi.
‘Shall I buy a car?’
Looks like money too
If you buy a luxury sports car like you did in your previous life… .
I shook my head.
not yet come
What would Chaewon think?
It wasn’t long before I saw a noodle shop in the distance.
Unlike other stores that look old.
The luxurious look stands out.
‘He also likes the taste of money.’
From a distance, it looks luxurious.
I felt like I wanted to come more.
however.
‘What?’
I looked in front of the store with a puzzled face.
Strangely, several people were crowded in front of the store that hadn’t even opened yet.
Is the youtube suck still left? I wanted to, but I quickly shook my head.
Anyway, because it wasn’t like this.
‘Did a popular star come?’
Due to the large crowd, I asked the driver to stop at a place a little further from the store.
-widely!
I closed the car door and made my way through the crowd to the front of the store.
“I’ll be passing by for a while.”
“Oh, don’t cut in line.”
A high school girl who writes an impression.
‘Is it a crazy bitch?’
I glared at her once and moved on.
“Kya-! I love you!”
“Couldn’t you just take a picture for me?”
“What day is it today? What combination is this… !”
“Please hold my hand just once!”
The streets are literally saturated.
The sound of screaming and taking pictures continued to be heard from the side.
How much did it break through the crowd?
finally arrived in front of the shop
The moment you try to open the store door while covering your ears as much as possible.
“… !”
He hesitated when he saw that there were other people in the store except for Yujin.
‘What is it, those bastards?’
It was only then that I realized why people were flocking to it.
They were all familiar faces.
No, it was a face I couldn’t recognize.
It’s because they are S-class hunters that Korea wants to release.
– With my daughter.
I entered the store with a cold expression.
“Oh, here you are.”
“Is that person Han Seong-hoon?”
“It seems so. But you don’t look stronger than you think?”
“You ignorant bastard. Get rid of the habit of judging by what you look like.”
“… … .”
“boss. sorry. I couldn’t stop it.”
Eugene bowed his head.
“it’s okay. It’s not Yujin’s fault.”
There is nothing wrong with Eugene.
These bastards must have come in recklessly.
Because she, an A-class hunter, couldn’t have stopped them.
**
‘under.’
He let out a short sigh inwardly.
What was feared happened.
‘It came sooner than expected.’
I thought it would happen someday.
Because I killed two S-class hunters.
What companies can’t know.
‘I finally found it.’
These are companies that must have been frantic to find me.
But I left a mark with my feet like this.
He must have come to make me a corporate hunter.
It’s a little surprising that the hunters representing the company came.
“Are you the one who killed the AJ Park brothers?”
It’s the first time we met, but this guy speaks half-heartedly.
This is Kim Hyun-seok from HG Corporation.
“I’m just saying when I saw it, you bastard. Do you want to go back?”
“Do you have a personality? well, good Because I can check it myself.”
“stop. Hyunseok Kim. Is this what you came for?”
Calmly sunken eyes.
Seol Min-ah, wearing a white blazer, stopped him.
“Hypocrisy. Did you guys come here because you were curious too? Because I want to see the S-class Hunter in person because of the question of killing the Park brothers. He must have come all this way instead of an agent.”
“… … .”
Seol Min-ah shut her mouth to see if Kim Hyun-seok was right.
‘Was it like that?’
It is not uncommon for all companies to gather in one place.
So I was skeptical, but now I know.
They did not come together in unison, but met by chance purely for the same purpose.
Besides.
Usually, the scouting proposal comes from the head of a company or an agent.
But instead of sending an agent, they came to see me in person.
‘Is it the purpose of keeping Scout in check?’
At the same time as attracting me to the company, they came to check how strong I am.
There may be compatibility between characteristics, but S-class hunters are not equally strong.
“Is it me who came here first? So, I have to go first.”
“As you said, Kim Hyun-seok, seeing that we are in the same place, it seems that we all have the same purpose, but that is not the case.”
“Are you going to try it?”
“Would you regret it?”
Two people who look like they’re going to fight at any moment.
I watched them carefully.
Seohyun Shin at SJ Corporation.
Park Hee-seong from Baeksan Group.
From Seongho’s group to Seol Min-ah.
Excluding AJ, hunters from large Korean corporations came to visit me.
And these are due to die to me today.
