Tiring―.
While sitting at the negotiation table, a text message arrived from CEO Emma.
「N-1 situation has occurred. It seems to have flowed into Korea. “Please recruit more people as quickly as possible.”
It was something other people would not understand, but CEO Ema figured it out right away.
A bank item was found. It is believed to have flowed into Korea. Please hurry up and recruit balance team members.
‘What on earth…’
It was an embarrassing story, but I couldn’t ask for details right away.
“What’s wrong?”
At that time, the man sitting at the negotiation table asked.
CEO Emma controlled her expression and put away her cell phone.
“I received a work order. “You don’t have to worry about it.”
“As expected, you’re busy because you’re the head of a secret organization.”
One corner of the man’s mouth rose.
It was clearly a sarcastic tone, but there was no time to pay attention to it.
“So… what are the terms of the contract? “If there’s anything you want, you can tell me more.”
“Hmm.”
The man glanced at the contract in front of him.
It was none other than scouting for the PB Corporation balance adjustment team.
“As I said, if you accept the contract, you can take over as team leader right away. “Right now, T.O. is in trouble.”
Representative Emma added.
Then the man grinned.
“Actually, I heard something about that too.”
“is that so.”
“You’re famous, right? There is a secret organization that kills anyone who gets in the way of the International Association. Through that organization, they are trying to unite the world’s subjugation powers… To be honest, I thought it was all an urban legend. “I didn’t know it was real.”
The man continued speaking while staring at CEO Ema.
“But… the team leader position in such a bloody place is vacant? No matter how you look at it, that doesn’t seem like good news.”
“….”
“If I were to fail, would you kill me like that too?”
The man’s eyes became bloodthirsty.
Of course, she was not one to fall for such provocation.
“You’d better be careful what you say.”
“Ha ha ha ha ha! Just kidding. Just kidding. So what can I do there?”
“Nothing is difficult. First of all, the main task is to assassinate key figures. In some cases, you may have to search, kidnap, gather information, and sometimes engage in combat.”
The man’s expression reacted greatly to one word.
And then he nodded with satisfaction.
“great. “It looks like fun.”
“All right. Then, I know that…”
“Instead, there is one condition.”
As CEO Ema was about to get up, the man added a word.
“I always do things my way. And I will also form a team.”
“…great. “That’s it.”
Only then did the man stand up and offer to shake hands.
Noah Westonwood.
He is the representative of Noah Guild, the current No. 1 guild in the United States, and the world’s first hunter to achieve S rank.
Currently ranked #1 in the US.
Current world ranking 1st.
This was the moment when he, who was once PB Corporation’s number one target, officially joined the balance adjustment team.
To commemorate the conclusion of the contract, CEO Emma gave some advice.
“For your information, there’s a guy we’re keeping a close eye on… so you better be careful.”
“Are you S rank?”
“Not Hunter.”
“then?”
“It’s difficult to say exactly what it is. Should I call him a crazy guy who used to be a dungeon cleaner?”
“…Ha ha ha ha ha!”
Is it because it is such a random story?
Noah burst out laughing openly.
“Isn’t it so shameless that they are a secret organization in name, but are only keeping a close eye on one janitor?”
“Don’t be cocky. “Because he was still fine even though he fought the entire balance team by himself.”
“After all, you’re a janitor, right?”
“We thought so too.”
Representative Emma’s face hardened for a moment.
Yes, there was a time like that.
Until he single-handedly wiped out the Korean part field workers.
“be careful. “If you mess with that crazy guy, your head could be cut off before you get your paycheck.”
“It’s worth knowing the level.”
“I warned you.”
Representative Emma tried to ignore his rudeness and turned her back.
‘You spoiled brat… If you had just retrieved the time stone, it would have been in my hands a long time ago.’
Representative Emma was very displeased with recruiting him, but had no choice.
I don’t know about the subjugation rights recovery team, bank item management team, but the balance adjustment team was needed right now.
Above all, it was an order given by Wesley himself.
‘Anyway, bank items were flowing into Korea again…’
I thought about the contents of the text message a little while ago.
I don’t even have enough time stones, so did I just acquire another bank item?
If that’s true, Wesley’s personality won’t let him go any further.
Above all, if by chance the bank item is Lee Neung-seok… then things get really big.
Because they might declare war on Korea.
‘Well… I guess it’s okay now.’
Of course, even if war really breaks out, it doesn’t really matter anymore.
Because we recruited Noah.
I said that to make him a little nervous, but in reality, there was no need to warn him.
If that crazy guy starts running rampant, armies around the world will have to be mobilized.

“Haam….”
Association President Lee Doo-sik’s office at the Seoul Planning Headquarters.
As my mouth opened without realizing it, the president of the association, Lee Doo-sik, immediately threw a slap at me.
“Hide your yawns, you idiot.”
“sorry. “I haven’t slept well for a few days.”
“why? Are you very busy with work?”
“yes. “I have something to do with Lee Ayoung.”
“…?”
Director Lee Du-sik’s eyes suddenly became round.
“Hey, Mr. Lee…! “Is that what you’re going to say to me right now?!”
“…What are you thinking? “It’s a lab job. Lab.”
“….”
I cleared my throat loudly for no reason, as if I was belatedly embarrassed.
What were you thinking?…
“So, is the delivery of by-products going well these days?”
“No problem. The amount is so large that the employees are having a hard time. “Well, I paid that money to bring him here, so I have to take it.”
“Thank goodness.”
He sipped his tea and continued.
“We have an overwhelming stake in domestic dungeons and almost monopolize the supply of by-products. The subjugation manpower is the best in the country and they all have the best equipment….”
He pauses considerably as he wonders what he is trying to say.
“Are you really planning on handing it all over to us?”
“Don’t you believe it?”
“no way! How can I not trust you? I don’t know if you show me your daughter. “That’s not what I meant…”
He then said with a stern expression.
“I mean, is there really a need for that?”
“…yes?”
“Isn’t the international association also slowing down after the African incident? Thanks to that, I was able to grow in size like this without much interference.”
“Yes.”
“But… even though it got bigger, it got too big. To be honest, my distribution is not that big to take it all by myself.”
A statement that acknowledges one’s own lack of ability.
As if he knew that, he avoided my gaze and continued speaking.
“More than anything, I am quite satisfied with the association now. You know what? “After privatization was proposed, the directors are rolling up their sleeves and working to purchase the right to subjugate the dungeon for fear of losing the dungeon to another company.”
“Are you saying that those old guys are running their own business?”
“That’s right. Well, if the association goes bankrupt, they themselves will end up in dog food, so in a way it is natural, but…”
It is surprising.
People who were only interested in fighting for position are working.
“But what happens if your company is suddenly absorbed into ours?”
“Well… it will become much more stable, so everyone will return to how it was before.”
“It’s a video even if you don’t watch it.”
“So, what you’re saying, Director… are you saying that we are going to overthrow the projects that have been carried out so far in order to maintain the current association?”
He nods heavily.
‘Holy shit…’
Everything I’ve done so far was to make the Korean Association the second international association.
Because of that, he established Karma Corporation, started branch business, and dominated the national subjugation market.
But now that the situation is good, let’s throw it away?
‘What are you going to do if they spit it out even though they say they will spoon-feed it to you?…’
Are you going to sprinkle ashes on the finished rice?
That will never happen.
“Director. No… Chairman of the Association.”
“hmm?”
“The International Association is a much more vicious and scary group of people than the president of the association thinks.”
“….”
“Of course, since the investigation is in progress, we have no choice but to hesitate. But how long do you think that will last?”
He saved his answer.
Of course there is nothing to say.
“I can assure you that as soon as the investigation is over and people start to calm down, they will strike again. Much bolder and stronger than before. “If you try to respond then, it will be too late.”
“…There’s no guarantee that that will happen, right? Who knows whether this incident will cause the international community to remain silent.”
“No, I just told you…”
“For now.”
He cut me off in a stern voice.
“Let’s think again.”
“….”
It seemed like it wouldn’t be easy this time.
It’s going to be annoying.
***
Immediately after leaving the headquarters, I sighed out of frustration.
‘Fuck, really…’
Lee Doo-sik is a person who, once he has made a decision, will push through to the end no matter what.
To persuade us, the international association would have to at least declare war on us.
‘Anyway, that single-minded person…’
Before I returned, I cut it off because it was a hindrance, but now it’s helpful, so I keep it by my side.
But if it gets in my way now…
I can’t help it.
I have no choice but to pick up the knife again.
Just as I made up my mind, the phone rang.
Sure enough, it was director Lee Ah-young.
“Did you see the news?!”
“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
“Check the news quickly! “Because you’re in big trouble!”
I felt something was unusual about his unusually strong tone of voice.
I immediately connected to the Internet.
New articles continued to come out about what was happening.
I clicked on the video that came up in the main topic.
[This is Wesley, Secretary General of the International Hunter Association.]
A recording of a man’s speech was played.
[As everyone knows, our International Hunter Association has made numerous efforts to ensure the safety and peace of citizens around the world. It has already been more than 30 years since we established a total of 78 branches around the world and worked hard to actively support subjugation and foster hunters.] [Of
course, there were many hardships during that long period of time. Nevertheless, we did not give in and tried to continue our activities with only the safety of citizens in mind…]
He drank water as if he was choking and continued speaking again.
[During the last Central African incident, we had a very difficult time because of the absurd rumors spread in Korea. Not only that, they even robbed the Central African branch that had a monopoly overland distribution of by-products in Southeast Asia… The Korean association has been continuously harassing us, and in the process, our hunters have died or been seriously injured.] …What
?
[However, the investigation revealed that there were no charges against us. Now, we can resume our activities with pride.]
[Therefore, we, the International Hunter Association, plan to respond strongly to those who have tarnished our reputation with unfounded rumors and have caused astronomical amounts of damage using that as an excuse. Therefore, as the Secretary-General of the International Hunter Association, I take this opportunity
to declare.] [As of the current time, the International Hunter Association has determined that all Korean subjugation companies, including the Korean Association, are ‘cartels’ rather than ‘punitive organizations’. All subjugation activities at home and abroad will be considered a violation of international subjugation law. If the Korean Association continues to attempt subjugation despite the warning….] [The International Hunter Association will use force to
eradicate cartels in accordance with international subjugation law. I will gladly use it.]
“Such a dog…!”
The unexpected thing happened.
The International Association has indeed declared war.
