Chapter 445 – Exploration (8)
Justification.
It is one of the most important qualities in appealing your story to the other person.
This also applies to negotiations.
This is especially necessary when you make an offer that the other person cannot understand, like now.
“You might wonder. What I am saying now must have sounded the same as saying that we are going to kick out Hunter Kim Taeyang at the group level.”
“… Isn’t it?”
Kim Do-jin asks with an expression full of disbelief.
Lim So-young’s characteristics are truly extraordinary.
Especially at a corporate level, when she gets into some trouble, her value will skyrocket.
Losing such a talented person is truly a huge loss.
But what if she has to throw away her S-class hunter to avoid losing her?
‘Of course it’s right to protect the S class.’
Where there is a will there is also a way.
If you look at the conclusion, the rare characteristics and S-class hunters are all the same.
If you want, if you put in the effort, you can somehow find resources to replace it.
Especially if it is a place with abundant financial resources like Sejin Group.
One thing that is different is the difficulty of the process.
Finding new talent related to transformation characteristics is several times easier than finding replacement resources for S-class hunters.
It is for this reason that Kim Do-jin is suspicious of Park Se-jun’s intentions.
He noticed this and continued speaking.
“Even if you are an S-class person who committed murder, it is not easy to make the decision to let go. So did we. “If necessary, I planned to use all my connections in the legal community to lighten his sentence and somehow carry it out.”
“But I guess you’ve changed your mind now?”
In response to Kim Do-jin’s question, Park Se-jun shook his head with a heavy expression.
“Yes that’s right. The murder committed by Hunter Kim Tae-yang… , Because I found out that it wasn’t an ordinary murder.”
“…”
“You may have also seen Hunter Kim Do-jin. “The woman’s body was completely dried out.”
Since they were trying to cover up the incident, they must have also seen Jo Yeon-hee’s desiccated body.
This in itself holds a possibility.
The possibility of a planned murder with some other hidden purpose rather than an accidental murder.
Park Se-jun continued speaking.
“I believe that Hunter Taeyang Kim committed murder with a clear purpose. “That’s why she wants to break off her relationship with him.”
“… Okay.”
It’s a completely understandable story.
If it is a planned murder rather than an accidental mistake, then even the S-class name value is useless.
An awakened person who deliberately kills a person is called a villain from then on.
So Sejin Group’s decision is reasonable enough.
The attitude of trying to use this to get even a small piece of beans is great.
Moreover, if they help in arresting Kim Tae-yang, when the name of Sejin Group is mentioned in an article, they may use it as a shield by saying, ‘We even helped.’
‘It’s truly a classic way to throw things away.’
I’m sure it’s a suggestion that will be helpful to me.
If an S-class hunter under the protection of a large company decides to hide, it will take a long time to find him.
‘Considering the worst situation, it’s right not to take too long.’
Jo Yeon-hee’s dried-out corpse continued to bother me.
‘Maybe I’m doing something absurd.’
In the past, when things were chaotic, all kinds of villains were running around.
Among them, there is a serial killer who has committed over 300 murders.
His villain name is ‘Vampire’.
It is said that the bodies he killed were all dried up like mummies.
The reason is because of the characteristics he possesses.
‘Was it bloodsucking?’
I heard that the more blood it absorbs, the stronger it becomes.
Among them, human blood was the most efficient, so he decided to commit murder.
He is still alive
Although he has been serving his 25th year in the worst prison in the world, where only the worst villains are imprisoned.
Anyway, Kim Do-jin is also considering the possibility of a similar crime.
Therefore, the shorter the time it took to arrest him, the better.
‘Let’s not think too long.’
Let go of complicated thoughts and just think about one thing.
Capturing Kim Taeyang.
“I will accept that offer. However, I will release it when it is of sufficient help to me.”
You can’t set a dangerous woman free by only providing half-hearted help, right?
Then Park Se-jun willingly nodded his head.
“Of course.”
Afterwards, the two discussed the details.
One of them is Park Se-jun stepping forward as a witness to prove that Kim Tae-yang killed Jo Yeon-hee.
Afterwards, he was asked to participate in covering up the crime, but he quickly backed out.
Of course, even that would ruin Sejin Group’s image for a while, but it was something that could not be helped.
Kim Tae-yang caused a serious accident, and it was largely their fault for not being able to suppress it in the beginning.
After discussing giving what we have to give to each other and gaining what we have to gain.
“Then, once the exact location of Hunter Kim Taeyang is revealed, we will contact you as soon as possible.”
“Time doesn’t matter, so please do it as quickly as possible.”
“I will.”
After finishing the story, Park Se-jun came out of the association building and got into a waiting car. He roughly loosened the tie that was tight around his neck and took a deep breath.
“Whoa…”
As expected, Kim Do-jin was not an easy opponent.
No, it was sharper and more persistent than expected.
But every time, I somehow overcame it and succeeded in concluding a negotiation.
There is only one thing left now.
He immediately called his subordinate.
“Sacrifice, how many are left?”
-Now there are six left.
“Six… “It’s a lot faster than I thought?”
-It seems that S-class hunters absorb more energy than we expected.
“Is it. Anyway, it went well. When there are about two people left, call Kim Do-jin. Show the scene well.”
-Yes, I understand.
After finishing the call, he thought.
“… “Anyway, we need to fill the empty space, but who should fill it?”
One person comes to mind.
Kim Do-jin, who had been giving himself a hard time a little while ago.
That would be more than enough to fill Kim Tae-yang’s vacancy.
Of course, the recruiting process won’t be easy… , But I don’t think it will fail.
If a man is full-blooded, there will never be anyone who would hate what he gives away.
“I guess I’ll have to find a place soon.”
His nimble tongue moved magically and was sucked into his mouth.
* * *
Contrary to my expectation that it would take a few days, the contact from Sejin Group arrived faster than expected.
The area they told about was Gapyeong, Gyeonggi-do.
There is a villa built by the Sejin Group for Kim Tae-yang there.
It is also a secret villa that is normally hidden by magic and cannot be seen by others.
When I asked him why he built such a villa, he gave a vague answer.
“Just looking at it, it must have been made to do all sorts of things.”
Park Se-jun and Kim Tae-yang.
They are both people who are rumored to be second only to women when it comes to revealing their identity.
They must have invited all kinds of women there and had an orgy party.
After receiving the exact address there, we immediately headed to Gapyeong, Gyeonggi-do in connection with the association.
The only thing that arrived at the address was an empty plain carved out of a part of a mountain.
But it seems to me.
A luxurious mansion and its entrance hidden behind a huge magical power.
In order to reveal this to everyone, he immediately raises his magic power and casts a spell.
「Dispel.」
It completely reverses the flow of magic around it and completely destroys the effect of magic.
Then, a surprisingly large mansion appears in the middle of nowhere.
He quickly wakes up the association’s employees, who are surprised by this, and then gives them instructions.
“First, let’s cover the area around the mansion. The wizards first check to see if there are any hidden passages, and the rest follow me into the mansion and begin the search.”
Melee hunters move quickly to surround the spacious house, and wizards alternately use detecting magic to check for the presence of hidden passages.
I took a small group of people and headed straight to the door of the mansion.
“It’s a lock. Shall we destroy it?”
“No, just a moment.”
The lock in front of the door was in the form of a door lock that is rarely used anymore.
Of course, it is not an ordinary door lock.
It’s a vicious guy that unleashes built-in attack magic if you enter your password incorrectly more than a certain number of times.
Enter the password you received along with your address into the door lock.
Beep beep beep beep!
[Authentication has been completed.]
A door opens with a hard mechanical sound.
As I carefully twist the doorknob and step inside, a strange smell tickles my nose.
“Sniff.”
What is this smell?
It’s sweet overall, but has a tangy sourness at the end.
It feels like I’ve smelled it somewhere, familiar yet unfamiliar.
I walk with the association staff along the direction where the smell is coming from.
One step, another step.
“Umm… “What smell is this?”
The further you go inside, the stronger the smell becomes.
At the end of the long hallway.
A faint light seeps in between the two closed doors.
When I raise my senses a little sharper, small noises come out.
“Flaw… , Hehe…”
The sound of a man’s laughter.
“Ahh… !”
And the woman’s painful moans.
“…”
He walked cautiously, quickly narrowed the distance, and then roughly opened the closed door.
Quadang!
A terrible scene unfolded there.
Under soft red lighting.
Taeyang Kim flops her body onto the wide bed as if she has just reached her climax.
Then she falls underneath him, and the woman’s breath catches in her throat as she screams in pain.
“Ugh… , Kahak… !”
Pakajik!
Bright red magical power is steadily gushing out from the woman’s body.
At the same time, the body is rapidly shrinking.
Kim Tae-yang laughed above the woman who died before she could even utter a scream of death.
“Heh, heh… Okay, this is it… !”
Red magical power is violently swirling around the body of the guy who is laughing like a crazy person.
The same color as the one that came out of the woman’s body just moments ago.
What I had feared became a reality.
Kim Tae-yang was gaining power by killing women using some kind of magic.
And that too in the worst way possible.
The guy who had absorbed all the red magic that had escaped a moment ago shook his shoulders and muttered something.
“Are you okay… Wow, I can save it, right? You can save a hundred times, no, a thousand times more than what you killed… !”
Hehe!
“… “You crazy bastard.”
I feel angry at the sight of this guy rationalizing his sins in an absurd way.
And that anger caused the surrounding magical energy to boil.
[The ruler’s area is activated.]
My own clearly drawn world.
The place is covered with anger and turns red.
Hwareuk!
The flowing fire demon created through this covered Kim Tae-yang at will.
Kwaaang!
