Chapter 414 – Special(5)
After the meeting is over.
I sat down with the saint and talked to her.
“It is as you said.”
“Thank god.”
The operational meeting was the responsibility of representatives of each country.
For me, who had to tell the story of Lu Bu joining hands with the enemy, the wall was quite high.
Representatives of Korea attending the meeting are Juhee Han and Siwoo Son.
Not to mention Han Joo-hee, even with Son Si-woo, the meeting itself has to be viewed with caution.
It is obvious that the influence of these two people will have a stronger influence on the representatives of Japan and China than mine.
So there is only one option left to me.
“Thank you for doing me a favor.”
“Can I ask you a favor? “If, as you said, Lu Bu has sided with the enemy, then I must prepare for this as well.”
She’s right.
If Lu Bu joined hands with the enemy, this would be a crisis not only for all countries participating in the operation.
But there is another reason why I am grateful.
“I’m grateful that you believed in what I said.”
It is not easy to say that the enemy is inside.
Especially the fact that that enemy was Han Joo-hee.
Her social prestige is strong, but it is still not enough to bring her down.
No reputation, no evidence.
In these situations, all I can do is speak within the realm of possibility.
“There are few people who would easily believe that Lu Bu could join hands with a villain.”
“That’s right.”
People say things like this, but Yeo Bu is a hunter.
He is also an S-class hunter who has gained global recognition.
The number of monsters and villains who died at his hands is hard to count.
No matter how much power is at stake, considering Lu Bu’s steps so far and his personality, it is not easy to believe that he is joining hands with a villain, no matter how plausible it may be.
The saint probably wouldn’t have believed it if it weren’t for the bond they built while dealing with Lu Bu.
She complains as she sets down the teacup, which is filled with her deep scent, on the table.
“I’m worried. “If Lu Bu appears as an enemy, the damage will be severe.”
“I guess so.”
By mentioning Lu Bu in her strategy meeting through her saint, she succeeded in raising her awareness of him.
However, he could not come up with a sharp solution.
The only ones that came to mind were Joo-hee Han, Si-woo Son, and Masayoshi Tanaka.
The only thing he could do was to tie up Lu Bu’s feet with the support of a saint.
Even that is difficult to see as a perfect solution.
Aside from dealing with Lu Bu, the scale of the black market is so large that it is scattered all over the place, and it is impossible to know when and where Lu Bu will appear.
The story is said to have ended with them staying in close contact and joining immediately when Lu Bu appears… , You will suffer considerable losses in the process.
Honestly, it doesn’t matter if it’s someone else.
However, I am just concerned that I and my team members may be included in the loss.
Around the time he was rolling his head around just for that purpose.
“… “You are such a unique person, you are.”
Her words awaken her thoughts.
As she lifts her head, the saint’s face, hidden by her veil, turns this way.
I don’t know what it’s made of, but I can’t see it because of the veil that completely hides her insides, but I can clearly feel that her eyes are staring at me.
Anyway, it’s special.
“I don’t think she ever revealed anything particularly unusual.”
Then she answered.
“There are things you can see even if you don’t necessarily show them. And…”
After hesitating for a moment, she quickly shook her head and continued speaking.
“… No, we’ll talk about this later.”
What is it, bland?
I thought I was going to tell you some important secret again.
By the time I felt relieved and lifted the teacup.
“Don’t be too sad. “It’s just not the time yet, but the day will come when we can talk about it.”
“Someday…”
“Well… “If this operation is successfully completed, it might be okay.”
For some reason, my intuition whispers to me.
I thought the story she was going to tell wasn’t that relevant to me.
I don’t know if it will be beneficial or harmful to me.
Anyway.
That means after the operation is over…
She answers, setting down the still-warm teacup.
“I’ll be back before this tea gets cold.”
“Tea water can’t stay hot for days, hoho.”
“…”
No.
It was just a drip…
Suddenly, I became a fool without any common sense.
* * *
The execution date of the operation was decided two days after the meeting was concluded.
In fact, it was correct to assume that the exact execution date of the operation was one day later.
It takes time to travel from the hotel you are staying to near the black market.
Personnel participating in the operation took on various appearances and moved locations.
Kim Do-jin and his team disguised themselves as college students who had tried to use the service once but failed. They took a somewhat inconvenient route to the vicinity of the black market and took a room in a cheap hotel.
“Ah… , It’s really bad to stay here after staying at a hotel.”
“This is the opposite feeling… ?”
“Lol… “It’s a little uncomfortable, yes.”
Team members complaining with expressions full of regret.
Kim Do-jin smiles bitterly at this.
It’s not that I don’t understand.
While the hotel I stayed in in Beijing was a 5-star hotel, this one was at a level where it would be difficult to even give it a star rating.
However, it is just absurd.
“The operation is tomorrow, so is it right to complain about where to stay? .”
Anyway, tomorrow is the day of executing the operation, so isn’t there too much tension?
“You don’t even have to worry… ?”
Moreover, they have achieved growth in dungeons so far.
It means that he is not used to fighting villains.
Of course, in order to prepare for this, Kim Do-jin took on the role of a villain and worked hard.
“It could kill people.”
No matter how much they deserve to die, their shell is clearly human.
It will shock them with a very different feeling from the countless monsters they have killed.
In fact, that was what Kim Do-jin was most worried about.
Every year, there are quite a few hunters who struggle with trauma after their first murder.
Will these chicks, who are only in their early 20s, be able to survive?
“What… “It’s not that I’m not worried.”
“It’s not?”
As if laughing at his concerns, Shin Yoo-jeong responds by saying that it is no big deal.
“It has to be done anyway, right? “It is something that cannot be avoided as long as you have decided to live as a hunter.”
There are many hunters who are reluctant to undertake operations to subdue villains.
On the other hand, there are hunters who do not put much effort into conquering dungeons.
However, not all of them can continue their hunter life by doing only what they want.
As the saying goes, unavoidable moments always come.
As if responding to her words, Lim Na-eun continued her words.
“So do i. Although it’s a little scary… , I think you should never step down.”
They did not blindly follow this operation because Kim Do-jin asked them to participate.
They also had their own goals.
“We can’t just rely on Dojin forever.”
“Yeah, that’s it.”
“That’s right!”
Shin Yu-jeong and Im Na-eun respond to Elena’s words.
He became a Class A hunter very quickly.
Of course, this does not mean that their abilities are inferior to other A-class hunters.
However, if there is one thing it lacks, it is experience.
The veteran feeling that should naturally come to mind when thinking of A-class hunters does not exist in them.
Because of this, many words were exchanged on the Internet.
Half of them say that time will take care of their experience and that they should value their talents highly.
Regardless of talent or effort, there are half of those who criticize Kim Do-jin, saying that he must have sucked money under him.
Due to the latter group of people, they were even given a dishonorable title.
“The princesses raised by Kim Do-jin? Ha, indeed.”
“I will find the bastard who said that and pat him. Very, very, very quickly.”
“Lol… , It’s not bad for Dojin to become a princess, but ah… ♥”
The princesses that Kim Do-jin raised on his back.
It was a disparaging remark to those who became A-level hunters by following Kim Do-jin’s instructions without much effort.
And Kim Do-jin was also given a rather funny title.
“I suddenly became a princess maker.”
Princess Maker.
The name of a masterpiece game that was created a long time ago and continues to be popular among classic game enthusiasts to this day.
In fact, I heard that it’s a game that’s all about raising a pretty princess.
However, it is said that the sincerity put into the process and the sight of the princess growing up are a subtle touch.
‘… ‘Isn’t that wrong?’
If you think about it that way, it might not be wrong.
It’s so thrilling to see the chicks in front of you growing little by little.
Anyway.
For them, this operation was an opportunity to prove themselves in many ways.
Although it is an unofficial operation, most people will not know, but those gathered here will know.
That they are real.
Just as there are no eternal secrets in this world, even the fact that their reevaluation will be done through their mouths at any time.
“Hmm…”
Kim Do-jin smiles strangely as he watches them make a decision among themselves.
‘When did you grow up like that?’
I was moved once again.
Who would have thought that they would talk among themselves and find ways to grow without their knowledge.
I knew they weren’t idiots who only take what they’re given, but it was better than I expected.
‘If it’s this much, I can trust you a little more.’
Maybe I was the one who underestimated them the most.
Finally, the next day came.
Just as I was about to leave the cheap motel to carry out the operation.
An association employee came to them and delivered shocking news.
“… “What did you say just now?”
“I told you that Hunter Son Seoyeon cannot go on operations with you.”
Such unexpected and sudden news… , No, they all froze at the notice.
