Chapter 584 – Old Relationship (3)
The hair of two people sitting in a space where not a single breeze blows flutters.
It started with Kim Do-jin.
He showed off his energy with an offended expression at his opponent’s firm rejection, and Maeng Ki-yong also showed off his energy as if he would not lose.
The sudden wind indoors is created by the collision of these two forces.
In the midst of a battle of pride where neither side backs down even an inch.
“Kim Do-jin Hunter.”
Maeng Ki-yong opened his mouth in a somewhat relaxed manner.
It’s as if the current momentum fight isn’t threatening at all.
“I completely understand your anger over the enemy’s assassination attempt. But not this.”
“What do you mean it’s not?”
“The interrogation of captured criminals is within the authority of our National Investigation Department. “No matter how much I am an S-class hunter, to recklessly ask for this to be handed over is not only disrespectful to our Ministry of National Intelligence, but it is also an act of betraying the will of the President and the people who are giving us strength.”
Numerous thorns hidden in polite speech prick him.
Your actions now turn us all into enemies.
If you do not back down at this point, I will make this matter public.
“Huh.”
Kim Do-jin, who understands the meaning of the words and swallows nonsense.
Because the content is bloody?
No.
It was because it looked so heterogeneous.
“You’ve changed a lot.”
There is a big gap between the Maeng Ki-yong I had a relationship with in the past and the Maeng Ki-yong in front of me now.
Maeng Ki-yong asked in a puzzled tone at his words, which were spoken as if he were talking to himself.
“Change?”
“Oh, well…, Because I like the previous generation of hunters. I often get lessons by watching their old videos, and there were quite a few videos of Maeng Ki-yong Hunter there as well.”
“… “It’s an honor to be able to find a video of me, who was just an A-level hunter with no special features.”
“Well.”
Kim Do-jin shrugs his shoulders and shakes his head.
He had different thoughts from Meng Ki-yong.
He was an A-level hunter with nothing special?
You’re welcome.
“Personally, I think Hunter Maeng Ki-yong, who has become minister, is the most unremarkable.”
“…”
A hatch is drawn on the expression of Maeng Ki-yong, who always showed a relaxed attitude.
“What can I say about Maeng Ki-yong Hunter at that time…?” He seemed like a really sparkling person. Unlike other hunters who started working because of the money promised by the government, he had a strong sense of duty, was just, and thanks to that, he had a good network of people.”
“That’s your illusion…”
“Oh, that could be true. “I told you it was just my personal opinion, right?”
Before he could finish his rebuttal, he cut off the tail of his sentence and continued.
“I also liked you when you were a member of the National Assembly. Even though I wasted my time playing to old political monsters, I think the process itself deserves praise.”
It was truly so.
Someone had to do it, and it was something that had to happen.
Being played by big names in politics.
It was a terrible humiliation and a hammering at the same time.
Driving a very small nail into a large, strong wall.
That small crack is a very weak beginning and a foundation that will later destroy the entire wall.
At that time, he did not shine, but he was sublime.
Even now, I was rolling in the mud to pave the way for my seniors, colleagues, and juniors who are struggling in the field.
But what about now?
“Now that I am minister…, Well. He seems like a stubborn old man who has lost his shine and sublimity. A person who is filled with self-righteousness, stubbornness, and stubbornness, and thinks that is the only way and justice.”
“Just stop there.”
He doesn’t pay attention to his warning and spits out his last words.
“In reality, no one in this world wants it.”
Maeng Ki-yong got angry at this and hit the table violently with his right hand.
“Stop!”
A voice delivered quietly but powerfully.
Even in such a situation, Kim Do-jin answered in a very relaxed manner, leaning his body against the back of the sofa.
“There is no need to stop. “My appreciation ends there.”
Maeng Ki-yong, who has been heartbroken by the continuous attacks, turns his evil gaze towards Kim Do-jin.
“Kim Do-jin Hunter. You are… “You are terribly misunderstanding my meaning.”
One sentence that isn’t that long.
Maeng Ki-yong gathered his thoughts for a short period of time as he spit this out.
It was because I realized it.
The fact that the other person is trying to shake up your emotions with words and take advantage of that opportunity.
As if it had been a while, he returned to his business-like attitude and continued.
“If you’ve looked at my past videos, you’ll know. “What kind of chaos did Maeng Ki-yong go through to reach this point in order to increase the authority of the hunters?”
A tone of pride.
“Since Hunter Kim Do-jin spoke so honestly about the person I am, I will also be honest.”
He stared at Kim Do-jin with sharp eyes and continued speaking.
“I think the benefits currently given to S-class hunters are excessive. And I believe that is one of the reasons why our country’s security is being undermined.”
“…”
This country.
No, the entire world is giving excessive benefits to the S class.
If it could not be helped, it was something that could not be helped.
Because only they can conquer S-class or higher dungeons that shake the very foundation of the country.
Meng Ki-yong also does not deny the fact that they should be given various benefits.
However, I just think that the amount given now is too much.
The benefits that a country can provide are similar to sharing a cake with many people.
“As the S-level receives benefits, the benefits provided to lower-level hunters decrease.”
If one person takes a lot, the person behind them has no choice but to eat less.
Class A is better because they are still treated as high-quality personnel, but Class B and C are at a truly miserable level.
“It would be an act without conscience to expect loyalty or patriotism from a country that does not provide even the minimum treatment.”
When an incident occurs and a call-up order is issued, the call-up rate of hunters varies depending on the level.
Class A is approximately 80%, Class B is 60%, and Class C is less than 40%.
Why?
Because you don’t want to get caught up in a dangerous fight?
That’s right.
But underneath that thought, another thought is coiled.
“Probably…, I guess I don’t want to sacrifice my life for this kind of country.”
This is all because of the S class.
There are only two or three people in the country.
Because so few people, only five to seven at most, take so much.
As much as they take, the people below them are suffering.
“So I, no, the National Department is planning to change this policy.”
Kim Do-jin, who was quietly listening, asked back.
“Are you going to reduce the benefits given to S-level players and use that to improve the treatment of other level hunters?”
“Yes.”
This was practically a declaration of war.
Isn’t that what humans are?
Who would like it if I took what I was holding in my hand and gave it to someone else?
That’s why I said it.
Maeng Ki-yong hoped that Kim Do-jin would immediately become angry and go on a rampage.
If so, I will be able to use that as an excuse to express my thoughts more strongly.
If it were another S-class hunter, things might have gone his way.
But the opponent in front of me was different.
“Oh, that sounds like a good idea?”
“… ?”
“Definitely, the S-class gained too much. Should I say that life becomes so easy because they do everything you do and give you everything you ask for? “I didn’t feel like I was becoming a little loose.”
This was sincere.
In fact, Son Si-woo once had the same thoughts as Meng Ki-yong.
There are so many benefits for only a few S-class people.
Even if we give up some of the benefits, we must pave the way for our juniors.
That thought was cut in half before it even started.
All other S-class members were against the idea.
Even his wife, Han Joo-hee.
But who would have thought that Maeng Ki-yong had the same thoughts as himself.
Kim Do-jin answered while raising his thumb.
“I will support Minister Ki-yong Maeng’s idea. Let’s try something cool!”
“Yes? Ah, yes…”
It’s a good thing.
S-class backlash is a position where it is easy to get beaten up by those who bought behind and reaped a lot of benefits.
They said they would take on that position and push it forward, so there’s nothing wrong with that, right?
One condition was quietly inserted there.
“So, let me interrogate you just once? “I’m going to push you hard?”
“That’s not possible.”
“Tch.”
Failed.
The story has reached its end.
Through the exchange of words, the two succeeded in understanding each other to some extent.
First of all, we are running on parallel paths by not giving up on each other.
Second, although the two people’s intentions seem to coincide, ultimately the picture they draw is completely different.
Because of that, the two people, no, Kim Do-jin and the hexagram can never be compatible.
“I think I’ve said everything I wanted to say…, Now let’s get up slowly.”
A clear order to welcome guests.
At this, Kim Do-jin obediently got up from his seat.
“Is it so. Well, I don’t think talking anymore would be good for either of us.”
Kim Do-jin takes a step forward and reaches the door leading out of the minister’s office.
Before opening the door.
He turned around and gave advice to the remaining Meng Ki-yong.
“Oh, I’m telling you this out of old age.”
“… ?”
“That Jincheon guy. He’s a really strong guy, right? “He’s even a martial artist, so his whole body is like a weapon.”
Maeng Ki-yong tilts his head at the unexpected explanation.
At that time, I was quietly listening to what that meant.
Kim Do-jin smiled and left his last words.
“Be careful. If he escapes, it will be a pain in many ways.”
“… “Keep that in mind.”
Three days after I finished the story like that.
[This is breaking news. It is said that the heinous criminal who attempted to assassinate Hunter Kim Do-jin escaped from the basement of the National Investigation Department and disappeared, causing great anxiety among citizens. .】
The noodle department was shocked.
