chapter 26
“who… … ?”
The employee responded with a change of expression to Tae-jeong’s embarrassed question.
“My name is Cha Min-soo, the commander of the reconnaissance at Hallasan Guild Headquarters.”
“Yes? what is that… … .”
“Sit there first.”
The man pointed to the sofa in the reception room.
“What is this? What are these people doing?”
Despite his unpleasant attitude, Cha Min-soo leaned on the sofa with a relaxed expression, not caring at all.
“ah. Don’t worry, these are my men, just in case. It’s embarrassing, but let’s sit down and talk. Well, it can’t be, but if you don’t want to talk, I have no choice but to solve it by force. What can I do? Would you like to have a calm and gentle conversation with me from now on?”
Anyone could see that the menacing comment made Tae-jung think of 50,000 things in an instant.
Guilds and armed hunters.
What is this all of a sudden?
Whatever it was, one thing was certain.
The equipment of the hunters lined up behind is unusual.
To be honest, he had never seen a Hunter in such flashy gear in his entire life.
Even at agencies that had a lot of high levels, I hadn’t seen equipment of that level.
‘I couldn’t have done anything wrong. Could it be that they know that I am a hidden class?’
It was the most promising idea under the circumstances.
A guild, especially if it was the headquarters scout leader, he was a high-ranking officer in a considerable position.
It was not even worth considering any other reason for such an executive to find a guest in a single room with troops.
“I don’t know what’s going on, but I’ll listen.”
“Good idea.”
As Taejeong sat down on the sofa, Minsu Cha moved his back slightly and continued.
“I just finished introducing myself, so now let’s introduce our guild. Mt. Hanlla. 16th in official government-approved rankings. It is a specialist guild with about 9,000 hunters and 100,000 employees. Not only that, but the business world rankings have always fallen out of the top 20.”
Cha Min-soo’s introduction reminded Tae-jeong of information about the Hallasan Guild that he had glimpsed in the morning.
Looking at the top ten, I didn’t look deeply, but it was definitely a guild located at the top.
“But why are you in such a great place… … .”
“We know you are Hidden.”
“Hidden?”
“Hunters who use machines are not common. No, should I say that you are the only one? Now that you know everything, don’t even think about getting away with it. It’s just wasting each other’s time.”
Cha Min-soo’s words made Tae-jeong somewhat predictable, but she couldn’t hide her surprise.
How did you know?
He was the one who thoroughly moved alone and hunted cautiously and cautiously.
Entering the gate, leaving, and even inside the dungeon, he was always vigilant.
A figure passed through his mind.
‘no way. Jo Yong-seok? no. That’s Jennix. Could it be that one of the guys on that mountain was Mt. Halla?’
While Tae-jeong was guessing, he heard Min-soo Cha say again.
“Don’t talk at length, just talk about the main topic. Join our guild.”
“At Hallasan?”
“From my research, I know you don’t belong yet. Growth would be impossible without a guild anyway, and our guild is not a guild to fall into. Isn’t that a good suggestion for you?”
Cha Min-soo’s words were true.
If you rank 16th in Korea, it’s not even in the top ten, but it’s a competitive guild that can beat you at any time.
You’ll have to listen to the conditions, too, but it won’t fall that far elsewhere.
“Can you give me some time to think about it?”
“I’m sorry, but since you’ve already been in contact with us, you have to make a decision here.”
“Okay, what if I refuse?”
“Rejection. Why do you think I came with them?”
When Cha Min-soo asked while looking at the hunters lined up behind him, Tae-jung’s expression darkened.
I’m not sure, but it means to use force.
‘Should I end up here?’
There seemed to be no other way.
“May I ask how you will meet the conditions?”
“Of course, we have to treat them with the best treatment in the industry. of course. I’ll have to do some research on you before that. Is there a decision?”
“Since there seems to be no other way… I will.”
“Excellent decision.”
When Cha Min-soo stood up and shook his hand, Tae-jeong also stood up and held his hand.
It was then.
clap.
There was a raucous noise coming from the entrance.
Then Cha Min-soo frowned and opened his mouth in a rather loud voice.
“What is it? I clearly told no one to come in.”
At his irritated words, a strange voice came from the entrance.
“Is this the famous Penthouse of Hallasan Mt. Myeongdo?”
“What?”
When Cha Min-soo looked back at something strange, armed hunters were occupying the living room before he knew it.
At the same time, Cha Min-soo’s troops took out their weapons in unison.
“What kind of guys are they!?”
At their words, the one who seemed to be the leader stepped forward.
Then Cha Min-soo, who saw him, widened his eyes in disbelief.
“You, you?”
“It’s been a while, Information Manager. No, should I call you scout captain now?”
“Imoobae? How will you be here?”
Moobae Lee.
He was an intelligence officer of the Ranger Guild and was a special hunter with military rank S.
Two years ago, he had a confrontation with Cha Min-soo over the site for the Shin Yongsan office building.
How did he appear in this place, which can be called enemy camp, and not anywhere else?
“What are you guys doing? How dare you say where is this place… … .”
Cha Min-soo’s angry voice made Lee Moo-bae laugh and answer.
“why? We are also customers who came in with all our money. I’m sorry to hear you say that.”
“Shut up. This is an obvious provocation. Do you know what you guys mean?”
“What do you mean by war?”
“what?”
“Actually, I didn’t even know you were here. At most, I thought it would be at the level of a chief, but it’s really fortunate that they brought troops.”
“What do you want?”
“It is what you want. what a stupid question Wouldn’t it be obvious that an S-class hunter from a hostile guild came here with troops? The young man behind you. You should hand it over to us.”
Cha Min-soo’s complexion hardened at Lee Moo-bae’s words.
Because their predictions were right.
‘This is a pain in the ass. The fact that he came in person means that he is willing to risk armed conflict… … .’
Cha Min-soo is also a hunter who has risen to the S rank, so there was nothing to lose in one-on-one.
The problem is the troops brought by Moobae Lee.
Although the capital was ahead of them, the composition was better than their own reconnaissance party.
Even though the ranks are similar, there is a distinct difference between a unit that specializes in combat and a unit that mainly collects information.
In other words, if we stick together in this state, it will be Min-soo Cha who loses.
However, his eyes quickly cleared away his worries.
‘It’s fortunate that this is a reception room.’
His hand moved secretly to the switch on the wall.
An emergency call button to call troops near the hotel in case of emergency.
It was a fight that could be won by holding out until they came.
“Hey, Moobae Lee.”
“Are you giving up?”
“Giving up, that sounds absurd. but. Shouldn’t there be a condition if you want to take that friend?”
“It’s meant to kill time.”
“If you are confident, come in and see. If we collide anyway, you won’t be safe either.”
“therefore?”
“If your condition is better, I will refer you to that friend’s doctor.”
“great. Then we’ll add one wish to your conditions. If you want, I can give you a guild leader position.”
“What, what? Where did you come up with such nonsense… … .”
“You guys are doing the repairs right now. Hit!”
At Moobae Lee’s command, the hunters immediately began to step.
Cha Min-soo’s face rotted at the sight.
They tried to wait until the additional troops arrived, but they were easily detected.
Seeing the troops rushing in, Cha Min-soo also drew his sword and ran out.
All the Hunters lined up behind him joined the battle.
Caang-! kang!
Shuaak!
thud!
It was surprising to see the hunters fighting a melee in harmony in an instant.
The imperceptible speed of swordsmanship, movement, and destructive power of each skill had already destroyed all the objects in the living room.
A space larger than the average playground was reduced to scorched earth in a matter of seconds.
Taejeong, who was watching it in real time, was dumbfounded.
What kind of lightning bolt is this?
From Hallasan to Ranger.
It was surprising that the unexpected guild came to him, but they were fighting each other for life and death.
And with force beyond imagination.
‘Is this a fight between guilds?’
I’ve only heard of it, but it’s the first time I’ve actually seen it.
Take a moment to admire.
Anxiety soon set in.
Of course, the rangers fighting Hallasan were a guild with a high reputation.
One of the guilds you should never enter is right there.
At least that was the opinion within the community.
If Halla Mountain loses, he has no choice but to join the Ranger.
Naturally, his gaze turned to the front door.
‘Can I get out if I use a booster?’
It was Tae-jeong who shook her head as soon as she thought about it.
Breaking through that melee is the same as committing suicide.
In the end, he had nothing to do but wait.
About ten minutes after the battle happened.
Cha Min-soo’s hunters were injured one by one and began to fall out.
Some of them have already reached the point where they are unable to fight.
Knowing that fact, Cha Min-soo resented the reinforcements that had not yet arrived.
Because by now, it would have been time to come.
Moobae Lee, who was facing swords with him, spat out words as if telling him to give up.
“Just pass it. In this state, you will be annihilated within five minutes.”
“dog sound.”
“Looks like they’re waiting for additional troops, right? I think we would have let go.”
“What?”
“It is a game over. Don’t make things worse.”
What Lee Moo-bae said was true.
The scene was telling me that.
Now is the time to make a decision.
His mouth, which could not come out, opened after much thought.
“Chief Lee! Get rid of it!”
At Cha Min-soo’s command, a hunter in the rear right was quickly fired into the reception room.
He was trying to follow the rule that only works on this floor, that it is better to get rid of it than to be taken away by the enemy guild.
Cha Min-soo, who became desperate at the sight, shouted out loud.
“Stop!”
“late.”
“This guy!”
While Moo-Bae Lee was feeling sorry for him, Tae-Jung looked at the huge sword that was being fired at him.
A huge sword of light that overwhelms the whole body and enters.
It was an unavoidable attack.
‘These bastards were more trash.’
At that time when I was about to close my eyes at the thought that it was the end.
Suddenly, something red rose in front of Taejeong.
At the same time, the flying sword shattered into thousands of pieces, and in front of him was the back of a woman with long red hair.
