Chapter 610 – Lee Byung-Ho (1)
*
“Are you really planning on doing this?”
The woman looked at the man with an expression of incomprehension that the man, who had not even responded no matter how many times she asked, would suddenly try to move like this.
The man who looked at her without saying a word, the deep and sharp life in her eyes, made the woman shrink without realizing it.
“I know at least what you’re planning behind my back.”
“What. What are you talking about? I have nothing.”
“Did you think I wouldn’t know that you brought in the demons and that you joined forces with the villains around the world?”
“I. Sorry. “I just say so.”
“Stop.”
With just one word, the atmosphere calmed down, and the woman took a step back without realizing it due to the thick and unpleasant sensation rising from the man’s body.
“You said the association would select S-class hunters, right?”
“Right. Right? I guess that’s why there’s a lot of talk… “
“It’s time to get revenge on them.”
“Think about it again. The greatest strength of hunters in the country is there right now, but going there… “
“The reason I’m standing here is to get revenge on the association. “The core guys are all gathered there, but do you think there will be another chance if not now?”
The woman could not say anything as the man’s voice rose from deep within her.
Has that man ever reacted this emotionally before?
This was the first time I saw a man, so I could feel his sincerity.
How much he hates the Hunter Association.
Byung-ho Lee, the man who came back alive from Red Gate 15 times.
He was mentioned as the most dangerous villain in Korea, but he has become quiet recently.
There is talk that Lee Byung-ho’s evaluation is exaggerated due to the continued failure of the villain alliance, but the woman who watched him next to him knew that it was not an exaggeration.
“It’s finally time to end.”
The only reason Lee Byung-ho joined the Villain Alliance was to get revenge on the Hunter Association.
Breaking down the association that had pushed him to his death time and time again, that was exactly what he wanted.
“If they were there, they could never be said to be irrelevant.”
Along with the sound of teeth grinding, an ominous energy began to emanate from his body.
The reason he remained silent even though he was the leader of the coalition was to prevent innocent victims.
The target of his revenge was the Hunter Association, and he did not want to involve civilians who had nothing to do with it.
But now you don’t have to do that.
Because the hunters who are the targets of his revenge are gathered in one place.
Can someone or someone aim for the position of S-class hunter?
Those who led an era or those who can take on challenges, those who are gathered now can be said to be the faces that represent the Hunter Association.
It was time to make the Hunter Association pay for their atrocities.
“Are you really going to do it.?”
“Okay. I’m sure they will get inside the gate. Then you can begin the work you have prepared.”
“It’s not perfect yet… As I said back then, there are limits… “
“Choi Tae-soo, Sasin, Choi A-rin, Kang Chae-rin.”
Hunters representing Korea, those who are currently known to be at the peak of military power, and those who turned a blind eye to the association’s atrocities.
“Kill them all.”
“Well. Is that even possible? Other hunters are definitely… “
“Villain.”
“Huh?”
“I judged everything about that person with just one word.”
“… “
“Among those they called villains, were all of them really villains?”
Who defines a villain?
A word commonly used to refer to awakened people who have committed a crime. So who decided on the crime?
“Can we conclude that no one has been wronged?”
“Well… I guess not like that. I guess… “
“I saw. Those who were unjustly killed… Right in front of me, with my own eyes!!!”
Red Gate, do they even know what tragedy happened inside?
Do they feel guilty for deceiving others with their words and putting them in harm’s way?
The reason why villains cannot use their power in Korea is not only because there are strong hunters like Choi Tae-soo and Shina, but also because there is no mercy for villains.
In order to prevent the confusion that arose when early awakeners began to appear, a somewhat hard-line policy was taken.
But can we say that there are no side effects?
Has everyone really sinned to the point where they deserve to be killed and driven to death?
__Suddenly.
“Now is the time for you to be judged.”

While the S-Class Hunter Selection Competition was in progress, people with serious expressions were gathered in one place.
The Hunter Association President, Choi Tae-soo, Yoon Seung-ah, Choi A-rin, Kang Chae-rin, and those representing Korean hunters were all continuing their conversation in a heavy atmosphere.
“I am against it.”
The first to open her mouth was Yun Seung-ah.
“It is true that it is a problem that needs to be dealt with quickly, but it still makes no sense to proceed in this way!”
“Haha. But you know that too, right? “What happens if you’re late?”
“… “
Who can forget the catastrophe that occurred that day? Those who are here will never forget it.
It was an accident that killed the man who was called the strongest.
“Still, it’s the opposite. I am well aware of the dangers, but this is a problem we must solve among ourselves, and we cannot let other kids get involved.”
Depending on the type of gate, there are cases where the monsters inside proliferate and flow back out, and that incident was also a disaster in which the monsters flowed back.
It’s just that the main character who regurgitated was Red Gate.
It is an unknown space whose danger level is still not fully understood, and it is called the most dangerous gate.
The danger of the monsters that flowed back from the Red Gate exceeded anyone’s imagination, and it was such a critical time that people really thought the end had come.
In order to deal with the gate, you had to find and kill a being called the gatekeeper, but in a situation where the number had multiplied to the point where they were flowing back out of the gate, it was difficult to find and hunt them.
In a situation where just dealing with the regurgitated monsters was overwhelming, the villains went on a rampage, making the situation so serious that the survival of the Republic of Korea depended on it.
In order to deal with the gatekeeper, someone needs to go inside, but monsters and villains are rampaging outside, so someone needs to stop them.
At that confusing time, Hunter Kim Tae-hwan said he would go inside the gate.
Everyone tried to dissuade him, but it was an undeniable fact that he was the most qualified person to assassinate the Gatekeeper the fastest.
At that time, Kim Tae-hwan was the most overwhelming force.
At that time, the person that even Choi Tae-soo could not dare to beat was Kim Tae-hwan. Since speed was more important than ever, there was no one better suited than Kim Tae-hwan.
In addition, casualties continued to occur due to monsters and villains rampaging outside, so a choice had to be made.
In the end, I had no choice but to agree to his strong appeal, and a hero was born that day.
The association could not forget the events of that day, and whenever a red gate occurred, it was resolved as a top priority.
Considering Kim Tae-hwan’s sacrifice in the past, villains were sent first as an advance team to minimize damage.
Even if the villains couldn’t solve the gate, a lot could be gained just by the presence of the advance team.
But now the villains who will enter the Red Gate have disappeared.
Since Byung-ho Lee, who solved the most gates, disappeared, the association’s hunters had no choice but to handle it themselves.
“If we don’t deal with it quickly, there will definitely be a disaster like that.”
“No matter what, you’re going to push us into the Red Gate without consent?”
“What are you talking about? We plan to notify you in advance of the danger… Aren’t we conducting at least some training to get used to the gate?”
Currently, there is one unprocessed Red Gate left in Korea.
As always, I was planning on pushing the villains in, but things went awry due to the reverse bridge.
While hesitating to deal with it, the World Hunter Association discussed the classification of S-class hunters.
The president of the association thought this was an opportunity.
I thought the hunters would voluntarily enter the Red Gate for the test.
I have no intention of putting hunters in limbo, but this is a problem that someone must solve.
“Aren’t S-class hunters there to solve high-risk problems? “I feel sorry for you, but I don’t want to see a tragedy happen.”
The president of the association lowered his head in a somber voice.
“But… If so many people go in, wouldn’t the risk be much less…? It might actually be safer!”
It is not without risk, but if many top-level hunters enter together like now, there may be very few casualties.
“If this is successful, the fear of Red Gate will also be reduced… Then it will be easier to handle it in the future.”
“But I am against it.”
No matter how much it was, he couldn’t let his daughter and Kim Si-woo be in danger.
Although she said she was already an adult, in her eyes they were still children, and this was a problem that her adult had to solve.
“I understand your opinion. What do the rest of us think?”
“… “
Taesoo Choi scratched his head at a question that was difficult to answer easily.
“Whew. Do we really have to do this? “There must be another way.”
“I know that. However, there would be no other opportunity than now to gather all the top hunters in one place, regardless of affiliation.”
Hunters say they fight for the people, but in the end, they are driven by money, so it is not wrong.
“Hunter is not a hero. Well… That doesn’t mean I don’t know about the sacrifices my hunters made. But isn’t it?”
“… “
“Think carefully and answer.”
