Chapter 415 – Special(6)
An unexpected notification delivered just before the start of the operation.
It was like this.
“Hunter Joohee Han selected Hunter Seoyeon Son as her escort.”
Han Joo-hee did Han Joo-hee.
The worst move she could make was to leave her daughter in her care.
Just as expected.
Upon hearing this, Seoyeon’s face turns bright red.
Betrayal, anger, sadness.
A change that occurred as cold and red emotions took over her face alternately.
“Hmm…”
Emotions that have never been shown before are rolling around like waves.
Looking at that, I know one thing for sure.
If I leave him like this, something worse than I thought could happen.
“So, Hunter Seoyeon Son, please quickly pack up your bags and then come with me.”
A man who says what he wants to say with a stern tone and facial expression, without any regard for the atmosphere.
Are you the… , Isn’t there something to be noticed?
In times like this, you usually have to be careful and pretend to say something.
For a moment, I frowned at the inflexible way of speaking.
As I look at Seo-yeon, who is frozen in place, unable to do either this or that, I get lost in her thoughts for a moment.
“… “What is it?”
I can hear team members talking quietly.
“What should I do in times like this?”
“… “Shouldn’t we follow Hunter Han Joo-hee’s orders?”
“Even though it feels like an unfair order?”
“Well, still…”
“Seoyeon, you are very angry…
“Ha, sister again…” .”
It seems that opinions are divided even among the team members.
It’s a bit embarrassing.
Although the hunter industry basically promotes an autonomous atmosphere, there are times when strict regulations and command systems must be followed.
At that time, it was a large-scale operation like now.
As multiple hunters participate, their hands and feet must work together to an appropriate degree, even if not perfectly.
Han Joo-hee is currently close to the commander who leads the participating hunters in Korea.
If it gets known later that she ignored her words, it’s obvious that she’ll get all kinds of insults…
“Seonyeon senior.”
“Uh, uh… ?”
“The senior decides. “Are you going to accept Hunter Joohee Han’s escort, or are you going to come with us?”
But there is something to be said here too.
Anyone can tell that this is a ploy by her mother to get her daughter out of a dangerous area.
Even if the incident becomes public, she will not suffer any damage as her accomplishments and motherly side will be highlighted, but at the same time, it may be a reason for me not to be criticized.
If the standards of equity and fairness are used, it is sufficient as a reason for exemption.
That’s why it’s hard to understand.
It’s not like she doesn’t know that I won’t listen to the orders she gives, so why did she give such an order?
There are two main situations you can think of.
This may have been because her emotions were so intense that they could not be easily controlled even by the cool-headed thinking she boasted about.
… Or maybe it’s urgent enough to go to such lengths and get her daughter out.
Personally, I would be perfectly happy with the former, but considering that she isn’t that easy with the opposite sex, more weight is placed on the latter.
At that time, an association employee complained to me in a stern tone.
“Hunter Dojin Kim. “Are you saying you won’t follow Hunter Han Joo-hee’s instructions?”
“Yes, that’s it.”
“… “It may lead to uncomfortable situations in many ways.”
The tone of voice is unclear as to whether it is advice or a warning.
“It’s an uncomfortable situation.”
There could be.
However.
“If Korea becomes uncomfortable, wouldn’t it be okay to immigrate?”
“… !”
Finally, feeling a strange sense of pleasure from the employee’s distorted face, he continued speaking.
“I think wherever I decide to go, I will be welcomed with open arms.”
What are two arms?
The moment I express my intention to defect, pretty women from all over the world will try to open their crotches and bring me back.
Isn’t that too much of a leap?
No.
In fact, as soon as Kim Tae-yang said on social media, ‘It’s so difficult to live in Korea because of public opinion,’ love calls poured in from all over the country.
They even said they would tolerate 7 wives and 8 concubines in the Middle East.
But Kim Tae-yang said he would not go to the Middle East even if he had to die.
He says he doesn’t want 7 wives and 8 concubines, but 100 women or something.
In short, I don’t want to take on the responsibilities that come with getting married, and I just want to enjoy the pleasure.
Anyway.
Ask the guy again.
“What do you think?”
I’m talking to the guy.
No matter how great Han Joo-hee is, if she sticks to one side too much, she could end up in a relationship where she has lost her trust, so be careful.
Who wants to take my side?
How good would it be to go back and forth while maintaining a moderately neutral attitude?
Seo-yeon, who had been struggling, finally opened her mouth, as if she had realized something in making the association staff who came to convey her thoughts shut up.
“Mom… “No, please tell Hunter Joohee Han.”
Changes in titles sometimes reveal a lot.
The fact that she called Han Joo-hee not her mother but her hunter was her final warning to her to keep her public and private lives completely separate, and at the same time, it meant that her liking for my mother had hit rock bottom once again.
“I will operate with my team. So it’s a pity… “Please find someone else to escort you.”
A determination not to take a single step back.
At the end, the head of the association employee falls helplessly.
“… All right. “I will tell this to Hunter Juhee Han.”
It was his own sign of surrender.
I have no intention of antagonizing you or putting pressure on you, so let’s take a step back at this point.
Not a bad option for us.
“I’ll just leave now.”
A man leaves in the same car he came in.
Although one crisis was defeated, the anxiety did not completely disappear.
“Me… , I guess that’s a good thing, right?”
Son Seo-yeon asks me a question, as if she wants to confirm that my choice was not wrong.
But I didn’t give her the answer she wanted.
“I don’t know. “Usually you can find out the consequences of something you do recklessly later.”
“… Ah.”
With choice comes responsibility.
All she did today was a choice.
Responsibilities will arise later.
And after carrying that responsibility entirely on my shoulders.
“When that time comes, you will be able to judge for yourself. Was my choice at that time right or wrong?”
It is precisely because of these characteristics that making choices is scary.
I never know when I might be held accountable for my choices.
It may be in a similar vein that people fall into gambling.
If it goes well, it’s great, if it doesn’t, it’s a disaster.
Either way, you can know the result right away every time you turn over a card, right?
“So we just have to wait until then. Doing the right thing. Okay?”
After hearing what I said, Seoyeon smiled and nodded her head.
“Huh… !”
It’s nice to see you smiling.
After putting an end to the anxiety in her heart, she declared to her teammates.
“Shall we go now?”
This is the beginning of the operation.
* * *
The black market creates a very different feeling during the day and at night.
If their night is a time to greet customers, their day is a time to prepare to welcome customers.
Therefore, it is lively in another sense.
“What, why is the quantity of B-grade magic stones like this?”
“The crackdown has been so severe recently that we barely got it in.”
“Damn government bastards. When would you accept it as good, come now… !”
Bring in new items and fill the shelves.
And.
“Is it you guys? These bastards have been behaving in our area this time.”
“Then?”
“You have to pay the price.”
Wajangchang!
Kwasik!
Many fights break out for reasons big and small.
Moments that are no different from everyday life to them.
At the time, I was concentrating on my own business, not even considering the bloody fight as a big deal.
Kwaaang-!
A huge noise bursting from the sky.
“Well, what is it?”
“What’s the matter!”
While they were confused, the waiting hunters from the three kingdoms attacked.
“Fuck, fuck! “What are all these bastards doing!?”
Hunters I see for the first time.
And when the villains discover familiar faces among them, they vent their fierce anger.
“Public security… “There are public security bastards in the middle!”
“What… !”
Hunters and public security officers arrive without any warning.
The recent unfavorable atmosphere between the government and the black market.
Even criminals, no matter how uneducated they are, clearly know what it means.
“Finally these bastards are abandoning us!”
“Fuck… ! Everyone, take your tools!”
“Don’t run away, you bastards! Anyway, if I leave here, I won’t have anywhere to go!”
Black market villains running wild.
While there were some who tried to run away, there were also those who calmly judged the situation and fought back.
However, their strength alone was not enough.
The Chinese government risked life and death for this operation.
How bad would they have bowed their stiff heads and even requested support from neighboring countries?
However, they did not want to reveal the entire black market.
All they want is for the black market to return to its original state.
A source of resources under the control of a government that can profit appropriately and intervene whenever it wants.
In response, the police officers among the hunters raised their voices.
“Organizations that are not in collusion with Hexagram must surrender immediately and follow the government’s instructions! Then your sins will not be held against you!”
Invitations to surrender echoed here and there.
At the same time, those who were fighting with the hunters arm in arm began to declare surrender one by one.
However, it was a catalyst that caused another confusion.
“Die!”
“Surrender is damned!”
Some people lowered their heads as if they were surrendering and then attacked the hunters.
Despite this, public security hunters are constantly urging surrender.
As a result, allied hunters found themselves in an even more difficult situation.
“Those bastards, that’s different from what they originally said!”
“Shoot them dead!” But why suddenly… !”
“Fuck, what should I do?!”
Those who are truly surrendering and those who are pretending to surrender and carrying out surprise attacks are mixed together, making it difficult to distinguish between real and fake.
Should we ignore the police’s words and kill them all? Then what if a problem arises?
It was a time when I was suffering from all kinds of worries.
“I sat down and said something like surrender.”
A bloody wind blew from one side.
“Ha, surrender!”
“Surrender!”
“Yeah, I don’t believe it.”
Kim Do-jin, a single-minded person who never compromises with criminals.
He set an example to everyone by burning and freezing everyone who cried out for surrender.
And he spoke to those who hesitated, saying it was pitiful.
“Among the people who came here, there is none who is not a human race, so let’s just kill them, right?”
His one word became a catalyst and aroused the hunters.
