Han Dae Sung Returned From Hell - Chapter 44
# 44
044
That evening after returning from an outing with my family.
Unable to resist Seong Chan-ho’s plea to have a drink with him today, Daesung roughly changed his clothes and went outside.
Buaang-!
Seong Chan-ho said to Daesung, who was sitting in the passenger seat, as he drove the car and headed to a nearby famous bar.
“You have become a very popular star.”
“I understand, so stop talking. “This is already the fourth time I’ve heard this.”
“Stop acting like a fool and listen to the radio, man. “Right now, all over Korea is whispering your name?”
“It’s burdensome. I didn’t particularly want to be famous…”
I knew that if I was at the senior level of the licensing exam, I had no choice but to get into the media…
but when I felt it in real life, it was much more burdensome than I expected.
“so. “Where are you going?”
“What are you talking about? “I’m going home.”
“No man. What I mean is which clan are you going to join? Hey Daesung would be nice. “I’m sure you’ll have happy thoughts.”
Even if you win just one ticket, it is an opportunity no different from winning as many as ten jackpot tickets.
This is an era where even B-level hunters currently working in the field are struggling to snoop around at least one of the Big 10.
But you can choose not just some of the Big 10, but all 10 of them.
If Chan-ho were to be reborn and be able to seize this opportunity…
‘I have the confidence to run to the Han River right now, but damn it.’
Seong Chan-ho was both reliable and envious of his famous friend, so much so that he felt sick to his stomach.
While Seong Chan-ho was fantasizing about how he would suddenly wake up one day and suddenly wake up.
Immediately after, the words that came out of Daesung’s mouth brought Seong Chan-ho out of his delusion.
“If you’re thinking about it, I’ve already done it.”
“huh? uh? already? “Have you decided where to go?”
“It’s not going anywhere.”
Squeak-!
Just then the car stopped at a signal.
Even though he was the one who stepped on the brakes, Seong Chan-ho was pushed by inertia and his upper body was slightly bent.
Seong Chan-ho asked, his hair, which he had carefully prepared, looking disheveled.
“You’re not going in?”
“uh.”
For a moment I thought I had heard wrong, so I asked back, but the answer came back as if it was obvious.
Seong Chan-ho closed and opened his eyes like a goldfish, then pressed the button to open the passenger seat window.
Daesung flinched as the cool evening breeze suddenly hit his face.
“What is happening all of a sudden?”
“You need to cool off.”
“Why am I cooling my head?”
“I’m telling you to give your brain some fresh air and clear it of all the vain air that’s in it, man.”
“I think you really need some fresh air.”
“Yes, you are right. My friend said he was going to kick the whole bundle of luck that rolled in, but he was so sick that he was about to pass away. “I need to get some air too!”
When the signal changed, Seong Chan-ho stepped on the accelerator and completely rolled down the driver’s window.
“Let me ask why. “Why don’t you want to join the clan?”
“Because I don’t like being tangled up.”
At best, the answers that came back were very abstract.
Seong Chan-ho did not hesitate and tried to hear what this guy had to say.
However, as the silence continued, Seong Chan-ho could not stand it anymore and tackled the player.
“Is that the end? “Is there anything else?”
“uh.”
“Tell me in detail. What is it about not wanting to be tied down? “If you had given me wings, I would have given you wings.”
“If I can’t fly when I want to, they don’t have wings.”
When I was stuck in the mountains for ten days.
Sung Chan-ho gave us a lot of information, and Daesung was able to study a lot as well.
If the memory chip obtained through the quest reminded me of common sense and memories of the Earth, the research and study I did at that time was an opportunity to learn everything related to the ‘cataclysm’.
And there was also information related to the ‘clan’ there.
‘In the end, you have to obey someone and follow the rules they set.’
Those belonging to a clan can only enter gates purchased by the clan. Any other independent hunting activities are against the terms of the contract.
Additionally, the rule is that all profits earned through hunting activities are distributed 7 to 3 with the clan.
After thinking about it for a moment, Daesung paused for a moment and briefly continued what he wanted to say.
“Those are shackles.”
“Hey, you can just call them shackles… Well, I think they call them shackles because of the provisions on profit sharing and gate entry restrictions, but I heard you get something back as well?”
“Equipment support?”
“Yes, equipment support! Awesome things that you can’t even find on the market! “It’s all given to you for free.”
High-quality equipment produced with the clan’s own technology, rather than low-quality equipment mass-produced on the market.
Items that cannot be purchased with money, and even if converted to monetary terms, would be lacking even for an astronomical amount, are given to one’s hands for free.
but.
Talking about equipment could not be tempting to Daeseong, who possessed the soul of the King of Flames and possessed a great sword that could burn the sea.
“Even if I give it, I won’t take it.”
“Going crazy. “You crazy guy.”
Seong Chan-ho felt like he wanted to slam his forehead into the steering wheel.
They said they were going to hire him from a large company, but Daesung must have seemed like he was making a fuss because he didn’t like the work culture.
‘I haven’t been under anyone for 80 years.’
However, Daesung could not understand this top-down culture at all.
If unprovoked murder and assault were prohibited on Earth, I would be willing to follow that rule.
But if someone else takes away your share and puts shackles on your feet and insists that this is discipline.
‘I won’t even set foot in that dirty shit field.’
I’m so obsessed with making a quick buck that I have to comply with the rules they enforce.
It was a story that would make him laugh, as he had followed his own path for nearly a century without being swayed by anyone.
“If you’re not part of a clan, you usually have to move solo… Do you know how tough that is?”
“What’s so tough?”
“It’s dangerous because you’re moving alone. You have to use crappy equipment. Also, I have to handle all the small things like gate purchase and by-product disposal on my own. “Isn’t it going to be tough in a situation like this?”
“Hmm…”
Risk and equipment issues are not worth considering, so you can skip them.
However, it may be a hassle to have to secure a gate for hunting and sell by-products on your own.
“Daesung, just go to the place with the best conditions. Since I have a friendship with you as a friend, I won’t tell you to join < Soul >. The noblemen, whom it is difficult to even see each other, will do whatever it takes to get you-”
“You too?”
“what?”
Daesung, who was just looking out the car window with his chin resting, suddenly turned to Seong Chan-ho.
I was wondering how I could focus on hunting without worrying about secondary issues.
Just now a good idea crossed Daesung’s mind.
“me too? “What am I?”
“Do you want me too?”
“Why is this guy suddenly acting so scary? “Does that sound a little strange?”
“Don’t joke when you know that’s not what you meant.”
“Well…”
If I could work with Daesung as a working partner.
‘It’s a no brainer.’
A genius that all of the Big 10 have their eyes on. A strong candidate for the sixth S-class hunter. A new star who uses amazing auror techniques that have never been reported.
What other opportunity would there be to stand side by side with a human who holds all these titles?
In fact, didn’t the Big 10’s general managers risk their lives on this cold day to get that chance?
“What do you want to say?”
“Let’s work together with me.”
When I came to my senses, the flow of the conversation was completely reversed from the beginning.
Seong Chan-ho’s mind went blank at the suggestion that Daesung, who was supposed to be hired, made it as if he were in the position of hiring.
“So… does that mean I should sign an exclusive contract with you?”
“The word ‘contract’ feels a bit stiff, but it’s similar.”
While Seong Chan-ho was speechless as the story took a sharp turn in an unexpected direction, Daesung added an explanation.
“Gate purchase by-product processing, etc. Anything outside of hunting is your responsibility. “I will ask for the meat.”
Gate reservations were a simple task completed with just a few clicks on the site, as long as you had a permit.
However, handling by-products involved a number of cumbersome procedures, including registration at the exchange, bidding at an auction, and signing a contract face-to-face with the purchaser.
Professional knowledge and experience are also essential in order to get the job done neatly without getting caught.
But there was an expert right next to me who boasted of handling that issue better than anyone else.
“If you can work as a sales team leader for a large clan, you’re not too resourceful.”
Daesung, who rarely trusts others, did not doubt Seong Chan-ho’s abilities.
Seong Chan-ho asked.
“When you said earlier that you didn’t want to be tied down to me, wasn’t it because you were dissatisfied with your share being reduced?”
“Chanho, you’re okay.”
“ok?”
“Because you can be trusted.”
There were only three people. Someone I can blindly trust.
“It’s because the only people I can trust in this world are my mom, Jisoo, and Chanho.”
“…why are you like this all of a sudden? The atmosphere becomes awkward.”
Seong Chan-ho openly trembled as if he was getting angry.
But laughter continued to escape from his mouth.
Because what Daesung just said sounded quite happy.
He was relieved to learn that Daesung believed in him as much as he believed in him.
Daesung is also not making this suggestion based solely on Sung Chan-ho’s abilities.
I just trust a person named ‘Seong Chan-ho’.
Seong Chan-ho said jokingly.
“Just saying you can trust me doesn’t mean I should work at Passion Pay, right?”
“No way. “If you have done what you deserve, you should be rewarded appropriately.”
It was Seong Chan-ho who was also qualified to stand in the same position as himself and take advantage.
It’s different from giving your share to things you don’t know much about.
“They say they will give you money.”
“then.”
“The moment I make money by acting as a hunter manager who is not affiliated with the clan, I will be picked on by the manager.”
“If you want to work with me, you have to get out of there.”
“You’re so cool about saying it’s not your job, our Daesung.”
Aside from being happy that Daesung believes in him.
This was something that all humans had no choice but to worry about.
The decision to give up a job where you have worked for a long time and was appointed as the team leader of a department is not an easy one to make.
Seong Chan-ho, who needed to calmly organize his thoughts, was conflicted after stopping his car on the side of a quiet road.
‘If you think about it,’
It was an opportunity to work with timber that could not be brought back even after paying more than the fair price.
No, even putting aside such philistine thoughts.
It was also an opportunity to supplement Daesung’s talent, which only comes once every 100 years, without wasting it.
Not restricted by rank or anything like that.
Man to man.
‘I can do it.’
It wasn’t that I was overconfident.
Still, I was confident that I could do the job of clearing away gravel from my friend’s path perfectly.
Instead, you have to give up your job.
A job as a sales team leader at a Big 10 company.
At a time when Seong Chan-ho was in a dilemma about what the right decision would be, Daesung spoke.
“It won’t resonate well. “Can you invest in me?”
“No, Daesung. “I’m not like that, I just…”
“It’s okay. I understand.”
Even if you change your perspective, it would probably be the same.
Because giving up the accomplishments that I had worked my entire life to make was not a decision that anyone could make.
“Then see for yourself.”
“huh?”
Seong Chan-ho, who was holding his head, looked at Daesung with questioning eyes.
Daesung, who wanted to ease his friend’s worries, came up with a clever idea.
“I’m asking you to drop everything you’re doing and see for yourself whether it’s worth investing in me.”
***
I had such conversations with Seong Chan-ho last night.
And now.
Daesung ignored all communications from Big 10 without any regrets.
On the site, only Daesung’s face and arousal level were listed.
Personal information such as phone number and address has not been disclosed, so there is no need to worry about people coming to your house and persistently stopping by.
I wouldn’t know if they did a separate background investigation and found out.
‘It’s enough to show a bitter taste to such rude people.’
After simply washing his face, Daesung easily changed his clothes and left the house.
As I left the entrance to the neighborhood, Seong Chan-ho’s car was parked as if he was waiting for me.
Daesung lightly waved his hand.
“good morning.”
“For me, it’s morning, you crazy idiot.”
Seong Chan-ho, who was sitting in the driver’s seat and smoking a cigarette, turned pale.
Bang –
Daesung closed the car door and got into the passenger seat, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and put one in his mouth.
At this time, Seong Chan-ho, who was next to him, put two cigarettes in his mouth, and Daesung spat out smoke and said,
“They say smoking cigarettes in succession is bad for your health.”
“I might be sick soon, but what’s the big deal about feeling unwell?”
“What is this?”
There was a thin, pure white envelope placed in the console box storage space.
On the outside, there were two Chinese characters and syllables written in very elaborate handwriting, and Daeseong, who was weak in Chinese characters, looked around at the envelope.
“Yes, that is my will.”
“history?”
“See Mom and Dad later.” “Oh, I sent a separate text message to my girlfriend.”
For some reason, I wondered if Sung Chan-ho’s cell phone, which he had left in the back seat earlier, wouldn’t stop vibrating, and that was the reason.
Squeak –
After a while, the two entered a quiet vacant lot.
Soldiers in military uniforms were waiting with weapons on all sides of an old-fashioned vacant lot that even kids these days don’t seem to use.
And among those soldiers.
Woo-woo-woo-woo-
A huge blue sphere was resonating powerfully.
gate.
Seong Chan-ho muttered as he stared at the hovering blue sphere as if it were a door leading to hell.
“You and I are going to attack level 3… even though I’m an ordinary person. “As the only awakened person, you have no equipment… Daesung, do you have no regrets about life?”
“If you register as a porter, even people with an awakened sense of taste can enter the gate, right?”
“huh. Speaking of which, “I won’t be the porter, so if you go in alone-”
“What are you talking about?” “You have to see it from the side.”
“Rumble”
Daesung said as he got out of the car.
“He said he wanted to see if it was worth investing in me.”
