Han Dae Sung Returned From Hell - Chapter 27

# 27

027

Seong Chan-ho’s house was a high-end residential-commercial apartment complex in Mok-dong.

Among them, the 30th floor is almost the highest floor.

Daesung was slightly surprised as he passed the front door and entered the dazzling living room.

This was because I intuitively got the impression that it was spacious and luxurious, including the interior.

“I’m sorry Daesung. “While you were passed out, this guy was begging you a bit.”

“….”

“Say something, man. “You’re not jealous, are you?”

One wall was entirely made of glass, and the distant night view outside was very fascinating.

Daesung stood tall in front of the glass window and watched the night view in silence.

‘It’s a luxurious place for me, who used to sleep in the snow as a blanket.’

It didn’t mean I didn’t like it.

However, should we say that it is the feeling of disconnection that occurs when wearing clothes that do not fit?

In terms of coziness alone, the Daldongne where I currently live with my family was more comfortable and nice.

But

‘Mom and Jisoo… will like it. ‘Because, unlike me, my family has lived in an environment on Earth, not in hell.’

Spacious house. And there is no one who doesn’t like a beautiful night view.

Hye-jeong and Ji-soo say they are satisfied with their current environment, but if given the opportunity to live in a house like this, they would never turn it down.

Pursuing happiness is an innate human instinct and natural right.

“Here…”

“Huh?”

Daesung opened his mouth and asked:

“How much do I need to live here?”

“If the monthly rent is KRW 2 billion, it is KRW 13 million based on a deposit of KRW 100 million?”

It was a feast of eye-popping amounts of money, but Daesung just remained expressionless.

Seong Chan-ho was confused as to whether that dry reaction was because he was so surprised or just because he had no idea.

Actually, it’s not that I have no thoughts. At this moment, a thought crossed Daesung’s mind.

‘Would it be possible if I saved a little more money from what I have now?’

Not long ago, 500 million won was stolen from people who run a money lending business.

Moreover, if we assume that the amount contained in the golf bag that Kang Hyeon-do gave was a similar or larger amount.

Living here by renting a lease was not an absurd story.

‘Plus, the black market he was talking about. If things go well there, about 3 billion more will come in.’

If you can keep that money for yourself, it will be possible to buy a place to live with a better environment than here.

Daesung asked lightly as his thoughts reached that point.

“Is there a better place than here?”

“what?”

Seong Chan-ho did not understand the intention of the question.

I thought he was just asking out of curiosity, so I gave him a vague answer.

“There’s no better place than here.”

Seong Chan-ho stretched out his index finger.

upwards.

Daesung raised his head in the direction the finger was pointing.

Of course, I could only see the ceiling, but I felt like I knew what he was talking about.

“You mean there’s a better, more expensive house upstairs than here.”

“It’s the so-called ‘penthouse.’ “A place where rich bastards who can only relax by sitting on top of people live in oppression.”

Seong Chan-ho chuckled, probably thinking it was nonsense.

As the conversation progressed to this point, I felt like I knew why Daesung asked such a question.

“Have you made up your mind?”

“….”

“Do you want to become a hunter?”

“uh.”

An immediate answer came out.

***

“Wash it up first. “The security guard was shocked when a beggar came in.”

Daesung decided that it would be a good idea to wash up, so he went into the shower room and washed his body.

The blood stains that had dried on the skin were washed away along with the dirt, and Daesung quickly became clean.

When Daesung came out to the living room, half-naked, wearing only a pair of boxers, putting a towel on his head to dry himself, he asked,

“What is all this?”

A sumptuous feast was spread out.

While Daesung was taking a bath, Seong Chan-ho called all the late-night restaurants and ordered food to be delivered.

Pig’s feet, pizza, chicken, steamed chicken, sweet and sour pork.

“It’s been a long time since I ate meat, so let’s vent our anger properly-”

Seong Chan-ho, who had taken beer and a glass from the kitchen and came out to the living room, was speechless when he saw Daesung.

‘Whoa, this guy. ‘Look at yourself.’

Because she was half-naked, her body was clearly exposed, and all the tight muscle pieces were clearly visible.

From trapezius muscles to abs.

He was not simply a large, muscular pig, but had a well-proportioned body shape with an attractively slim waist.

‘But what are all those scars?’

However, should we say that the scars that are indented in every muscle are a stain on the body?

At first, I thought it was an injury from the fight with the goblin earlier.

However, judging by the extent of the scar, it was difficult to believe that it had occurred just today.

‘These are traces of time that cannot be easily erased even with dermatological procedures.’

Even though Seong Chan-ho was not a hunter himself, he could tell because he had seen more hunters than most hunters.

But why are the traces of those years engraved on the body of the person who was recently discharged from the hospital?…

‘Is that also the aftermath of some kind of awakening?’

It was a self-evident fact that awakening would bring about some physical changes.

But that doesn’t mean he’s any kind of Spider-Man, and I thought the scars were a bit excessive for the muscular body he built in just one night.

“Why do you keep looking at me from before?”

“uh?”

When Daesung suddenly spoke, Seong Chan-ho woke up from his thoughts.

As soon as he woke up, he had a strange expression on his face.

It was definitely strange to see a man staring at a man half-naked.

“Oh sorry. “For looking at your body.”

“So why are you looking at it?”

“I saw it because I didn’t know what to do. I’m jealous, I’m jealous. “It’s good to be awakened.”

It was a compliment without any lies.

After Daesung changed his clothes, the two went to the table where all kinds of delicacies were listed and started eating.

Not to mention Daesung, Seong Chan-ho, who had built up hunger after working hard for a long time, ate his food in a hurry.

The two shared a drink and chatted while quickly emptying their dishes.

It was Seong Chan-ho who spoke first.

“When you asked me earlier if there was a better place than here, you asked me because you wanted to become a hunter and make a lot of money, right?”

“uh.”

“Yes, it is possible. There’s nothing you can’t do. No, rather…”

Big!

Seong Chan-ho, who took a refreshing drink of wheat, quenched his appetite and continued speaking.

“We could buy this entire building. “If you really do it right.”

“really?”

“Lawyer, prosecutor, judge, doctor… I have to give up in front of hunters. “In today’s world.”

What use are laws in a world where uncommunicative monsters run rampant and the lives of citizens are at risk?

But despite this, the judicial system works just fine today.

Because there was a pillar that supported the foundation that allowed humans to live a peaceful life.

Just a hunter.

Since they go to the front lines and exterminate monsters, the law is working properly.

It was only natural that hunters received more social authority and income than judges and prosecutors.

“The era has come when skilled workers overpower private professions.”

“Right.”

“That’s why those who awaken are lucky. Even if not all awakened people become good hunters, they are at least given a chance to win the lottery.”

Even with this analogy, it was still a game with a higher chance of winning than the lottery.

Normally, even if you become a C-level hunter, there is no problem in making a living as long as you join a suitable small or medium-sized clan.

“Why am I saying this to you? It’s because when you go to the association and get judged, you always get B grade or higher.”

“How much is B grade?”

“If you are B-rank, you are at the level to join a large clan. Or become a member of the association. “Whichever you choose, the salary is ridiculous.”

The monthly income of 3,000 is ridiculous.

If you make a good awakening check, your life can be turned around in one hit.

“But you.”

Seong Chan-ho, who had been speaking jokingly while moderately intoxicated, became serious at that point.

He pointed straight at Daesung with his finger and spoke in a confident tone.

“If you do well, you’ll get to Grade A. “I guarantee it.”

“If you’re in class A…”

“You can live in a penthouse.” “With your mother and younger brother.”

Daesung swallowed the chicken leg meat he was chewing.

“Do you think I’ve seen one or two awakened people like you on this floor? I’ve seen it countless times while eating Jjambap. “I may not know anything else, but these two eyes have never been wrong.”

“hmm.”

“Daeseong, you are a Daeseonghal bastard.”

“okay?”

“Just smile here, man. “You’re embarrassing people for no reason…”

Seong Chan-ho quickly emptied a glass of soju.

Meanwhile, Daesung leaned back slightly and stared at the chandelier on the ceiling.

‘It’s class A.’

It goes without saying, but the criterion for classifying hunters is strength.

However, in Daesung’s mind, he was grading positions based on which positions made more money.

“Is there anything higher than A-level?”

“Yes. “It’s S-class.”

“How much more money does S class make than A class?”

“What’s the difference between the school gang you met in the ring and Muhammad Ali? The jab doesn’t work.”

Seong Chan-ho, who wanted to make it easier to understand, pointed with his finger toward the glass window containing the night view.

“There is a Tower Palace in Yangcheon-gu that is bigger than this one. “The owner of the building there is a guy named Jo Han-ul, and he’s S-rank.”

“I see what you mean.”

“why. “I wonder if you’re S-rank?”

“You don’t know that.”

“Don’t expect that far. The higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment. Still, I’m sure it’s A grade, so I’m satisfied with it. “In Korea, even grade A is solid.”

“What about S-class?”

“There are only five people. Just five out of two million awakened people. Well, the odds of you being the sixth one are… hmmm.”

Seong Chan-ho smiled like a snake and waved his hand.

I can’t say for sure that he can never become S-class, but on the other hand, S-class is not that easy to be born.

This is similar to not jumping to the conclusion that because this guy is smart, he will inevitably become the CEO of a large company in the future.

“Anyway, are you sure you’ve decided to become a hunter? “Do you have any intention of reversing it even now?”

“doesn’t exist.”

“Then you thought well. “A person should live according to his or her aptitude.”

“What should I do from now on to become a hunter?”

“Don’t worry, the process is all set up. I will explain that part slowly. “Before that, let me ask you one last question.”

Seong Chan-ho asked in a somewhat serious tone as he placed the beer glass on the table.

“Why do you want to become a hunter?”

“money.”

“…It’s actually nice to be honest, but are you really trying to become a hunter just for the money?”

“Didn’t I just tell you to live according to your aptitude?”

“Yes, but…”

“What do you want to hear?”

“…I thought you’d say something cool, even if it’s a bit harsh.”

“Wonderful words….”

I don’t know how to say that.

However, if we were to give a reason other than ‘money’ as Seong Chan-ho wished…

‘This is the only one.’

“It’s family.”

“family?”

“I hope I make a lot of money so my mom and Jisoo don’t have to suffer. “I hope everyone will be happy living together in a big house.”

No need for fame.

Even though you need money, it is not just for your own wealth.

Money is needed for family happiness. On Earth, money is absolute. Society is interconnected and all things revolve through the logic of capitalism.

Daesung realized that this was the biggest difference between hell and earth.

‘No matter how many monsters I killed in hell, there was no happiness coming back to me. But Earth is different.’

By killing monsters, you can make money and eventually enrich your family.

This was why he was attracted to the profession of ‘hunter’.

I was sick of fighting.

‘If I can bring eternal happiness to my family by doing what I do best, being bored is not a problem at all.’

However, I couldn’t just blankly watch my mother and younger sister suffer in front of my eyes just because I was sick of it.

“You bastard, you should have said that already. “It’s better to hear it than saying it’s done for money.”

In any case, I was planning to give full support so that Daesung could become a hunter even if he didn’t have to threaten his family.

Still, I wanted to include at least this wonderful reason.

‘I see this guy, Daesung, saying that his family’s happiness is his goal. ‘I’m serious.’

And isn’t it true that only serious people are willing to risk their lives and have a higher chance of survival?

“Did you ask what you need to do to become a hunter?” When

Daesung

expressed his approval, Seong Chan-ho began his explanation triumphantly.

“First of all-”

***

“Let’s sort it out first.”

Same time. Inside a restaurant in a large building.

A gray-haired man with a long knife mark around his mouth said that as he took a napkin and wiped the sauce from his mouth.

“So, what kind of crazy person… Oh, listen while you eat.”

The man with the knife marks smiled and gestured. And

across

from him

sat a man trembling with fear.

Yoo Jin-seong, the youngest member of the Shinheungdong faction.

He escaped all the way here to escape the bloody wind that blew through the organization’s building.

And the name of the man with the knife marks who served Eugene Seong a warm plate of steak.

Seokwoo Lee.

He was the general leader of the < Hongma > clan, one of the top 10 clans in Korea.

Huh, Lee Seok-

woo cleared his throat.

“Let’s try again. So, aren’t you saying that some crazy person single-handedly ruined that organization?”

“Yes, yes….”

“If that’s true, it’s a bit troublesome.”

Originally, the < Red Demon > clan planned to make an important deal with the Sinheungdong faction in two weeks.

An abandoned factory in Siheung-dong, Geumcheon-gu was the trading location, and the general manager decided to go there in person.

however.

The organization that was supposed to give that money has completely collapsed.

It was shocking news.

Lee Seok-woo did not hide his embarrassed feelings.

He scratched the knife mark on the corner of his mouth and let out a long sigh.

“Do you remember what that person looked like?”

“He was a huge man, about 190 feet tall, with pure white hair covered in blood.”

“also.”

“Our brothers who died and the gang members were sucked into that guy’s fingers without a trace-”

“Is that true?”

“Yes, yes….”

“….”

It is said that the abilities of the Awakened ones include running vertically on walls or changing the nature of the Auror to create firestorms from their hands… but they

suck in corpses without a trace. ?

At that point, isn’t it just magic?

“That crazy person is really amazing.”

“….”

“Why did you convey this to us? “If you barely survived, why don’t you just keep living like that?”

“I had nowhere to go.”

“but. “Even if the gangster reported it to the police, it would be suicidal.”

Rattling-

“But.”

“Yes yes?”

“Ah, why were you stuttering and shaking so much from earlier?”

Lee Seok-woo asked, intentionally stuttering, as if he was mocking the person in front of him.

However, the person who was ridiculed did not show any signs of being offended.

No, it was a situation where I couldn’t show that I was in a bad mood.

Sigh –

Yu Jin-seong slowly rolled his eyes to the side.

Note that.

There were two people who survived in that building and came to visit the < Red Demon > Clan.

One of them is Jinseong Yoo.

And the other said,

“Is it because of your friend?”

He was definitely sitting next to Yu Jin-seong.

Although the entire upper part of the collarbone was torn off.

Yoo Jin-

seong, whose shoulders were shaking, eventually began to shed tears like chicken droppings.

Seokwoo Lee clicked his tongue and quietly got up from his chair.

Yu Jin-seong was startled and looked as if he was going to run away at any moment.

But my whole body, paralyzed with fear, could not move as I wanted.

Meanwhile, Seok-Woo Lee came over and massaged Jin-Seong Yoo’s shoulders a few times, then wiped away his tears with a napkin.

“are you okay.”

“Please. “Please just spare my life.”

“of course. He came back from hell alive, so we need to save him. “Only under the condition that it will help me.”

Push –

Hot steam was rising from the cross section of the exploded body.

“Please don’t follow in that friend’s footsteps.”

“Uh huh huh huh!”

“We just have to get the money we’re supposed to get. Your organization’s operating funds are stored in several lockers, including their passwords. “Please tell me everything.”

“Please, please….”

Of course.

There was no way that Yoo Jin-seong, the youngest member, knew the organization’s major confidential information.

Lee Seok-woo knew this too, but he asked for no reason.

It was quite enjoyable to see a person with no choice but to shed tears at the edge of a cliff.

Swish-

Lee Seok-woo threw the napkin.

And

this time, he wiped Eugene’s tears away with his own hands.

“They said he made his colleagues disappear without a trace.”

At this time.

Jing –

Lee Seok-woo’s fingers that were placed near Yu Jin-seong’s eyes began to turn blue.

Yu Jin-seong did not know that this was a precursor to the execution.

Just a few minutes ago, I saw my comrade blown to pieces in exactly the same way.

“please please…!”

“Without a trace… it’s truly magical.”

“Ugh! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! ”

A pain that cannot be described in words, as if the skin or eye area was being stabbed with an iron.

Eventually, a blue line like a spider’s web spread across Eugene’s face as he closed his eyes and screamed.

“But, that magic.”

“Aaaah! Click-Ah-! ”

Clang-clang-clack-

The steak plate set on the tablecloth shook.

Each time Lee Seok-woo’s fingers glowed more intensely, the amplitude became stronger.

“Somehow I feel like I can do this too.”

That moment.

pop-!

Kwasik-!

Jinseong Yu’s body inflated like a balloon for a brief moment and then burst.

The pieces of meat that exploded were evaporated by the enormous heat.

Chiik –

The hot heat turned into steam and spread out.

Lee Seok-woo sighed again, following the smoke rising in the air with his eyes.

“Whew-”

I tried to vent my anger, but my anger didn’t go away.

Lee Seok-woo sensed that even though things were going to be a mess, they were going to be a mess.

Then, in order to unravel the thread and properly resolve the anger.

‘I guess I’ll have no choice but to kill him with my own hands.’

“I’m lurking in the black market.”

Seokwoo Lee immediately gave an order to the men and women in suits waiting at the entrance.

“Stay in hiding, and if a man similar to the one you mentioned comes to the black market, report it to me immediately.”

“yes.”

The men and women in suits bowed their heads and took action.

Seokwoo Lee sat down at the table and picked up the utensils, as if he would finish the meal even though he was angry.

Then.

Tap –

Something hit my foot under the table.

It was the remaining ankle of Jinseong Yoo, whose entire upper body had evaporated.

‘That bastard must not leave a single tip of his toe.’
