Chapter 582 – Old Relationship (1)
The birth of a new government department composed of former hunters.
There was a lot of debate over this.
Opinions on whether a new ministry is needed for the Hunter Association and opinions that too much power should not be concentrated in one side.
There are those who say that selecting only former hunters is discrimination, and the opinion that this can be the case for special jobs.
In the midst of a tense conflict with both sides holding sufficiently plausible opinions, one thing has become clear.
Establishment of a new ministry for national security.
Here, all the people agreed.
Hunters unanimously say that the resolution of this incident was nothing short of a miracle.
And they said.
Even if the same incident happens at some point, there is no guarantee that it will be prevented as easily as it is now.
No, it will definitely cause huge damage that cannot even be compared to what it is now.
The claims of those at the forefront of this incident caused great unrest in the hearts of the public.
And one more person.
The president also listened to their words.
Because he saw it himself.
When a disaster occurred, most of the people summoned to the emergency meeting were left trembling, unable to express even the slightest opinion.
‘It will never be possible with the current configuration.’
Security that is determined by one person or luck.
Isn’t it literally like standing on the edge of a cliff and praying that the ground you’re standing on doesn’t collapse?
The system had to be overhauled before it fell off the cliff.
And hunters must also improve their response to emergency situations through training.
The ruling party moved according to his wishes, and the opposition party also accepted it.
Because I know very well that blocking the flow that the people want will be neither oatmeal nor rice.
The establishment of the new ministry proceeded smoothly.
The name of the ministry created through various processes is ‘Ministry of Land Protection’.
The name of the first minister of this ministry, comprised of former and current hunters, is Maeng Ki-yong.
A former A-level hunter, a current member of the National Assembly, and a man who led the current trend.
Ministry of Homeland Security.
In short, he sat on the chair in the minister’s office in the building given to Noodles, slightly loosened the tie that was tight around his neck, and made a call somewhere on his smartphone.
“I finished it as you said.”
His movements were made entirely through commands.
A disaster that came out of nowhere.
And through this, a sense of crisis was created, leading to the establishment of a new ministry.
It was a close call as the damage was less than expected, but fortunately the result was not bad.
Rather than simply basing the progress on the damage, it was effective to express that the resolution of this disaster was achieved through the miraculous power of only one person.
“There’s probably nothing Kim Do-jin can do about it this time.”
Although he had interfered with the organization’s work many times until now, he was confident that this time it would be too much.
No illegal work or manipulation was done here.
It only reflects the will of the people.
Of course, it was you and the organization that instigated such a gathering of opinions, but isn’t this something that often happens in politics?
But it was impossible to let down one’s guard.
“I have achieved my primary goal, so I will hold my breath for the time being.”
The organization’s activities will be halted for a while and the organization will focus its efforts on the superficial activities of the National Investigation Department.
So that the newly created Buddha can gain greater power than any other Buddha.
I plan to increase the price little by little.
“If you continue to share the situation in other places, we will act accordingly. Yes, then.”
Maeng Ki-yong ended the call in a polite manner throughout.
He got up from his chair and looked down at the people walking down the building.
The flowers in the greenhouse are living a peaceful daily life again, as if it had never been that way.
It wasn’t far.
Their lives will not change.
As in the past and present, so in the future.
They always crawled on the floor.
However, only the sky that covered them changed from moment to moment.
“There isn’t much left.”
It wasn’t far.
The day when the sky will reign over their heads.
Until that time comes, let’s pretend we care about them just a little longer.
The things implemented with that idea were met with great response, and the public’s support for the National Subsidiary Department was at its height.
An unexpected disaster unfolded not far away in Vietnam and the Philippines.
* * *
My long stay in the hospital is over.
I stayed for a total of ten days.
He could have been discharged right away, but they kept preventing him from being discharged, saying it was obvious that he would run around without resting if he was left outside.
“I heard that this is why quick-witted women have a hard time.”
Maybe it’s because we’ve been together for quite some time, so I know myself very well.
“Well, it’s not bad.”
It feels perfect.
Because it means that they care for me and cherish me.
“My body definitely became lighter.”
I really didn’t do anything for 10 days.
I couldn’t even have sex.
It was as if there was collusion, and every woman who was there turned him down.
Thanks to this, my sexual desire increased, but in return, my body became much lighter.
It feels like all the fatigue that has built up knowingly or unknowingly has been washed away.
“Let’s move vigorously again.”
Hexagram, who won a decision over the past 10 days, has made quite a leap forward.
The birth of a new government department.
“The name…, Was it the noodle department?”
Ministry of Homeland Security.
This ministry, which was created by going through all kinds of processes at a speed that is almost like a steal, is currently growing rapidly, receiving enthusiastic support from the public.
The director’s name is Maeng Ki-yong.
During his time on active duty, he was an A-level hunter close to S-level, and he has teamed up with the team several times in the past.
I remember him as a good person.
Unlike me, who entered the path of a hunter only for the money, I also had a sense of duty, and thanks to that, I had a good network of people.
“I was one of them.”
We drank together once or twice, and whenever we ran into each other, we would greet each other with a bright smile.
Taking advantage of his unusual surname, Mr. Maeng, he was also nicknamed Mr. Mangkongi.
“I was very sad when I retired.”
He chose to retire even though he was fully capable of working.
It wasn’t an injury or fear.
Meng Ki-yong wanted to establish a clearer system and discipline in the still unsystematic hunter society.
Guarantee the rights of hunters and reduce risks.
I will create a counterweight that respects their nobility, but blocks their sense of privilege.
A hunter couldn’t do that.
That’s why he boldly retired as a hunter and entered politics.
He was well-known and popular at the time, so he easily earned the gold badge.
But that’s it.
“It was easy to get into, but…, I didn’t survive there.”
A world full of all kinds of fraud and propaganda.
The influence of old politicians who had survived there all their lives was strong, and he was infinitely weak.
When ten policies were proposed, nine were ignored as soon as they were spoken about, and the remaining one could not cross the threshold due to opposing forces.
Even though he spent four years like that and was re-elected, his position did not change.
No, on the contrary, it has become narrower.
There was a time when he remained in people’s memories as a popular hunter, but not anymore.
Now I’m just one of those lawmakers.
The expression has also changed a lot.
The eyes that were once overflowing with energy and enthusiasm have long since faded.
I thought I had finally broken down after hitting the wall of reality.
“It shines again.”
After crouching for a long time, he came out proudly and his eyes were shining.
Like the look in his eyes when he retired from Hunter and entered politics.
What has changed is that his goal has changed.
“That kind of guy became Hexagram’s henchman…”
The goal of the hexagram is clear.
A terrorist attack out of nowhere.
Seizing power using this.
The two events coincided with perfect timing.
And Maeng Ki-yong is one of the people who benefited the most from this incident.
He went from being a member of the National Assembly, whose name most of the public did not even know, to becoming the Minister of Homeland Security, who received strong support from the people.
“The growth rate is too much.”
No matter how much public support they have, their growth rate is too fast.
If we continue like this, it is difficult to estimate how much power we will have in our hands.
What if those who have become powerful reveal their impure intentions in the future?
“… “If you add a little bit of exaggeration, the whole country might turn upside down.”
It’s not even that big of an exaggeration.
If all the members of the Department of Homeland Security, including him, are members of Hexagram.
If only we could get the support of active hunters.
It would not be impossible to overthrow the Republic of Korea solely through force.
“It’s not a big fuss.”
Terrorism is the starting point of their grand plan.
And not only was I defeated in the first battle, I was also heavily exploited.
“You guys can’t let things go as you please.”
Thanks to you, my motivation is boiling.
I’m the kind of person who can never live with being beaten.
I drive straight to the association.
“Hey, this is a mourning house.”
As you enter the building, there is a gloomy atmosphere.
This is because, since the advent of the Ministry of Homeland Security, the association has been deprived of many of the powers it had almost monopolized.
That’s what humans are like.
If you don’t have it from the beginning, you won’t know, but if you have it, and then it gets taken away, you feel bad.
I pass by the employees who deal with visitors with somewhat gloomy smiles and get into the elevator.
The target is an underground interrogation room.
Ding!
When the elevator arrives, a familiar face appears.
“Director Kim?”
Director Kim Seong-tae, whom we formed a relationship with during his time as manager, and who continues to maintain a good relationship to this day.
He came out to meet me in front of the elevator.
“It’s been a while, Hunter Dojin Kim.”
“Yes, that’s right. How have you been? “No, I guess that’s not it.”
I realized in the middle of speaking that there was no need to ask the cliched question, “How are you?”
There’s no way the director of the Hunter Association, who keeps losing money with the advent of the Homeland Security Department, is doing well.
By the way.
“What are you doing here? “Did you come to see me?”
“… “Yes.”
Director Seongtae Kim nods and answers with a dark complexion.
“What. “What on earth are you trying to say with such a dark expression?”
I hope he answers my question.
“… Jincheon was taken over by the Ministry of Land Security.”
“Wow.”
It’s a huge deal.
