Chapter 58: Brewing Storm
...............….
While Kang-Ho made his way towards the market he wasn't aware of the chaos he had caused in the entire Busan region.
-RING-
-RING-
Inside the room of Pak-Kyung his phone started to ring up, he quickly picked up hoping it was from the illegal market.
"Is the mission complete?
"No, guild master I haven't heard from those guys who went there yet. I am still waiting for their call." Said Pak Kyung, he had sweat all over his forehead. He knew that no was not the reply that the guild master wanted, but unfortunately, he didn't have something concrete to give to the guild master.
"What are you doing then? I need the answer in 10 minutes or else I will have to come down in your office myself. How hard would it be for them to get rid of some lowly scums?" Said the guild master he was fuming with anger; it's been a lot of time since they had gone there was still no response.
"Yes, guild master I will find out right away." Said Pak Kyung he was nervous he didn't want to anger the guild master any more than he was now.
"Now!" yelled the guild master and hanged the phone up, he didn't want to hear Pak Kyung talk anymore.
Inside Choi guild Pak Kyung was pacing around the room while thinking of something, he was clearly very anxious.
'Where the second hunting team? They should have been done by now. why aren't they calling? Did they start drinking after destroying the house? I have still not heard of the matter about the agreement from the market. What is going on today?' thought Pak Kyung, he wanted to know of the outcome of the deal that was set up to happen in the market. Fortunately, though, the guild master didn't really remember about that important business or else he would have been decapitated if he said he didn't even know of that important business.
Pak Kyung didn't want to waste anymore of his time, he wanted to leave and investigate the situation personally, he wanted to make sure everything was done quietly and fast. Pak Kyung first planned to visit the slum; he knew if he didn't get the report fast enough to the guild master his life would be at stake. As for the deal in the market, he knew the deal would surely pass as they have been having the talk for a long time, so he wasn't too worried about the deal.
"Just you wait, I will kill all of you myself if I find you all inside a bar." Mumbled Pak Kyung and took his jacket, after wearing the coat he took his car key. And started walking towards the door.
Just as he was about to reach the door the phone suddenly started to ring, he was in a hurry, so he ran to the phone and picked it up.
"Hel..." Pak Kyung was about to greet the person and was about to ask who the caller was right then he was interrupted by the caller's voice.
"Sir, I heard the illegal market was taken down, and all of our men were slaughtered. Someone from the scene just called and informed me that there was not a single Choi guild member left." Said the voice in a hurry, he didn't have the tie to explain the matter as they were in a very serious trouble.
"What? Have you gone crazy? Who would attack the market? Even if our enemy guilds came together in Busan they would surely fain in no time. Tell me the truth, if it turns out to be a prank, I will personally kill you this a very sensitive matter." Said Pak Kyung he was stunned from what he just heard; he couldn't believe what the man in the phone saying. He didn't believe that the market could be taken down so easily. Last time he had conversation with the market was about 1-2 hours ago. The market was still fine then, there was no disturbance reported. He didn't believe that the market would be destroyed in just about 2 hours, even if they were attacked by the hunter's association located in Busan they still wouldn't be able to cause much harm to the market that was a face.
"No sir I am not lying, from what I heard there was only one man who attacked the market. I think this is the work of the hunter's association I think they sent one of their elites to hunt us down. I think they finally came to know about our secret illegal market. This is very bad sir we don't have much time we need to leave the city immediately, if we were caught by the expert, we might not live the next day. The expert must be a high level hunter, even though I didn't watch the incident with my own eyes the person who told me about this mentioned that after killing some many of our guild members the person only had one or two cuts in his body. I would never dare joke about this kind of matter." Said the man in all seriousness, his voice turned deep.
After hearing that Pak Kyung hanged up the phone, even if he didn't want to believe such type of thing happening he ignore it completely, he knew the risk involve in running such business, the world was still recovering from the dungeon appearance from 2 years ago. As the world recovered the strength of Hunter association as in rise as well. He knew it wouldn't be long before they came knocking at the doors of Choi guilds.
So, he didn't want to be to rash, he didn't want to confirm the news before acting. Pak Kyung didn't bother calling the guild master, he was too focused in killing his son's killer, even if Pak Kyung told him about the situation he wouldn't really care, so he decided to take care of the situation himself.
Pak Kyung picked up the phone and called the market, after trying for 5-6 times he gave up, it was sure something had happened to the market. He was really anxiously thinking about the party responsible of creating this mess. He wondered if it really was Hunter's association. Right then a idea suddenly came to his mind.
He picked up the phone and started dialling again, this time he dialled a different number.
"What is it? We told you only call when you have a huge problem, if it is nothing important I will personally make a visit to Busan." answered a mechanical voice from the other side of the phone in a very threatening way.
"Sorry sir, but it seems some one has attacked one of our market. The report says only one guy came in and slaughtered all the members stationed there. Was it the doing of the Hunter Association? Did they find out already?" Pak Kyung answered very politely, he knew he couldn't offend the power, he knew his place.
"No, it was not the work of the Hunter Association." Said the mechanical voice, the voice was not worried about the Choi guild at all he just hanged up the phone after answering.
After hearing the conformation Pak Kyung swiped away the sweat in his head, he was relieved because they still had a chance of survival.
