The Dungeon Cleaning Life of a Once Genius Hunter - Chapter 151

There are only 15 minutes left until the dungeon disappears.
Instructions were finally given to the troops waiting in front of a total of seven interactive dungeons distributed across the country.
“…proceed with the subjugation.”
Geum Chan-yeong, deputy team leader of ‘Heukrang’, who was in charge of conquering the interactive dungeon located in Cheonan, spoke to his team members after a short radio talk.
“Is the deal done?”
“no.”
She shook her head with a shocked expression.
“It looks like the International Association has pulled some kind of trick. “The CEO told us to retreat.”
“yes yes?! “Then who gave the orders for subjugation…?”
“Team leader Kim Min-ju.”
“Ah…”
Everyone on the team responded that they understood.
But regardless of that, it was inevitable that he would hesitate to proceed with the subjugation.
“No matter how much the team leader orders, the CEO…”
“Am I really allowed to proceed?”
“The deal isn’t over yet, but if we subdue them on our own, everything we’ve prepared will go to waste…”
As expected, the team members continued to complain in anxious voices.
“Then are we really going to let the CEO die?”
“That’s not true, but…”
Deputy Team Leader Geum Chan-young stroked his hair with a light sigh.
She was equally anxious.
It’s not that it’s not true, but didn’t the CEO risk his life for this deal?
I know that not moving until the end is the bare minimum, but…
‘That’s not for me to judge.’
It’s a situation where every minute and every second is a competition.
I knew very well that I had neither the time nor the qualifications to be so arbitrary.
“I was a gambler anyway. It’s good if you get caught, but if you don’t get caught, there’s nothing we can do. It wasn’t something worth risking your life to begin with. “There will be another chance next time.”
“….”
“We just have to follow instructions.”
“…All right.”
The team members seemed to have calmed down after hearing the vice team leader’s words.
“Did you read all the information files the CEO gave you?”
“yes!”
“If you do that, you will be able to defeat them in 10 minutes. Everyone, prepare for battle.”
Soon, the entire Heilang team drew their weapons.
“Operation begins.”
Everyone entered the dungeon at once.
It wasn’t just the Heilang team that started the subjugation like that.
All seven interactive dungeons across the country were subjugated using the same procedure.
Of course, there was no way for the International Association headquarters to know that they were carrying out the subjugation at will.

“Secretary-General Sa!”
The assistant secretary came up to Secretary General Wesley, who was observing the situation from the control team, in a huff.
“I just checked the on-site monitor… CEO Kim Jun-woo gave the order for the standby personnel to retreat.”
“I beg your pardon?”
“I guess the dummy video didn’t work.”
Secretary General Wesley’s expression darkened in an instant.
His plan was to send a dummy video to Chloe to make it look like he had complied with Kim Jun-woo’s request.
Of course, if you check with the guys waiting outside, it will be quickly discovered that it was a trick, but ultimately, checking is something that takes time.
Since every minute and every second was disappointing, he must have made his decision as soon as he saw the video.
But you gave the order to retreat without hesitation?
What has happened to your judgment!
“How many minutes are left until the dungeon disappears?”
“15 minutes left.”
“under…!”
I burst out laughing without realizing it.
Of course, the International Association does not suffer any loss by complying with Kim Jun-woo’s request.
Anyway, the number one priority was to retrieve bank items, so in fact, everything else is a personal desire. It’s just a shame that you can’t get everything from the Korean Association along with the bank items.
However, the reason why Secretary General Wesley is truly angry now is not because of that regret.
Regardless of profit or loss… not being able to beat Kim Jun-woo again was an unbearable humiliation.
“….”
What should I do?
How on earth can I beat that guy even once?
No… was it even possible to win in the first place?
“Haha… Hahahaha!!”
Bang bang!!
With a creepy laugh, his fists continued to hit the concrete wall.
The wall cracked and collapsed completely, exposing the space on the other side.
All the employees froze, not even able to breathe.
Eventually, his voice became quiet.
“Call the reporters…”
The assistant secretary nodded without even being able to answer.
Yes, you won.
But it won’t happen twice.
Once I complete retrieving the bank items, I will be the first to cut off your head.

Still in the dark dungeon.
With less than 5 minutes left until the dungeon disappears, we were just glaring at each other without saying a word.
Information on specific dungeons had already been delivered to each team a few days in advance. In addition, the staffing and composition were perfectly planned according to the characteristics of each dungeon.
If the subjugation continues as is, the minimum subjugation time is… approximately 15 minutes.
But that time has already passed.
‘Whoa…’
I tried to pretend to be relaxed, but in reality, I was very nervous.
Of course, I am not anxious about being trapped in a dungeon.
On the contrary… I was anxious that there might be a subjugation.
It’s not that he ordered Kim Min-ju to retreat and unilaterally hung up the phone.
‘Given his personality, he must have tried to contact me again and get a confirmation…’
But in a situation where every minute is urgent, there isn’t even a reply?
It is certainly.
These… 100 percent subjugation is in progress.
Of course, there’s no way they would know that, so for now I’m just pretending not to know…
but if the dungeon is activated before any action is taken on the other side… everything is a waste of time.
‘Please, please…’
Please move first before you are subjugated.
“Where did the leisure go earlier? “Weren’t you prepared to die?”
Chloe must have read my expression and slowly opened her mouth.
“Well, it’s scary to actually die.”
“Don’t act if it doesn’t work out. “Because we all know that they are currently being subjugated.”
“Is that so? In fact, I know that the International Association is hastily preparing for a press conference.”
“Isn’t that what you want to believe?”
“Anything else, go to the end.”
“….”
“….”
That moment when they kept looking at each other and fighting for their lives.
Tiring-.
A text message arrived on my cell phone.
I checked carefully.
“1 minute before the end of the subjugation.”
As soon as I saw that text, my gaze unconsciously turned towards Chloe and Noah.
“….”
“….”
The cold silence continued for a few seconds.
It was a moment when I hurriedly looked away, thinking it was too late.
“…Headquarters Headquarters!!”
“Fuck…!”
Chloe sensed this and immediately took out the communicator.
“We are subduing these bastards!! “I tell the Secretary General to never hold a press conference…!”
That moment.
[This is breaking news.]
Chloe’s movements suddenly stopped at the sound of a voice coming from my cell phone, which was turned on.
[A little while ago, Secretary General Wesley of the International Hunter Association held a press conference and officially withdrew his definition of the Korean subjugation organization as a cartel. He also added that there was a misunderstanding between the two sides and expressed hope that a good relationship will continue in the future…]
“It’s too late.”
“….”
“….”
The communication device in Chloe’s hand fell to the floor.
Kugugugugugung –
At the same time, the dungeon began to vibrate loudly.
Split dungeon is activated.
Just a few seconds difference.
The transaction with the international association was successful.
***
Karma Corporation Office.
“…done.”
Those words came out of Ha Seong-il’s mouth as he was checking the real-time news.
[After speaking with the representative of the Korean Association, I found out that there was a misunderstanding between both sides. Therefore, I would like to take this opportunity to officially withdraw the position that defined the Korean subjugation organization as a cartel…]
“It is done! “It’s done!!”
The moment Secretary General Wesley made that statement on the screen, Ha Seong-il shouted and jumped up from his seat.
Ha Seong-il took a moment to celebrate his victory and immediately took out his cell phone and called Chairman Ha Deok-soo.
“You have become a grandfather! “The CEO did it!”
“I saw. As expected, it was good to endure until the end.”
Did they say that the one who endures is the winner?
At this point, when everyone had given up on the subjugation project, Karma Corporation turned the situation around.
“From now on, karma will truly dominate…”
“What can I say! Now that there are no people to interfere, we will accelerate our business not only domestically but also overseas!”
“Well, it’s good news for us,”
Chairman Ha Deok-soo smiled faintly.
Even in the worst situation, they were the only ones who spared no investment in Karma Corporation, so it was like winning the lottery.
“Anyway, it will be important from now on. Let’s leave the subjugation part to Karma and monopolize the distribution part. “I have a lot to prepare, so you should come back now.”
“…”
“…Why is there no answer?”
After hesitating for a moment, Ha Seong-il carefully opened his mouth.
“Is it okay if I don’t come back?”
“What do you mean?”
“Actually, I never thought about following in my father or grandfather’s footsteps. Because I knew very well that I had neither the ability nor the qualifications to do so. But… being next to CEO Kim made me greedy.”
Ha Seong-il spoke quietly.
“My desire is to follow in my grandfather’s footsteps.”
“It’s still too early to aim for my position.”
“I know. But do you know what this place is like? The trust the employees have in their CEO is enormous. “What’s amazing is that when times get difficult, employees voluntarily step up to help.”
An organization where employees trust their leaders and the leaders reward them with their abilities.
It was an organization that Chairman Ha Deok-soo had aimed for his entire life.
“I will learn. “Can you wait until then?”
“know? The reason I helped you all this time was because you weren’t greedy. “From the moment you become greedy for my position, you will have to do it alone.”
“Of course. But… you won’t be alone.”
“…Ha hahaha!”
Chairman Ha Deok-soo’s faint laughter was heard.
“Now he’s like my grandson.”
“Thank you.”
“So, what do you plan to do there?”
“I plan to sell off all of my shares and take over companies related to subjugation across the country to Karma Corporation.”
“ha ha ha! From now on, we will meet as enemies.”
“It is only a plan. Actually, putting all that aside…”
Ha Seong-il said with a smile.
“First of all, I need to get a job here.”

“President of the Tongue Association! CEO Kim did it!!”
The same news was delivered to the Seoul Planning Headquarters.
As team leader Pyeon cheered with excitement, Association President Lee Doo-sik shook his head with a bewildered look on his face.
“…I never thought I would really do it.”
Soon he burst out laughing.
I never thought they would make the international association change its official stance.
Isn’t this something you can’t even imagine?
Team leader Pyeon also seemed to be unable to believe that fact.
“What on earth did you do to make the Secretary General overturn it?! “This is really…!”
“Is it time for you to be amazed?! It’s an opportunity! Companies will think that this is the time and will try to target the subjugated market again! “We have to move first!”
“What are you trying to do…?”
Association President Lee Doo-sik’s eyes sparkled.
“Buy the right to conquer dungeons across the country…and hand it over to Karma Corporation.”
“yes?! Then we won’t be able to subdue it…”
“It doesn’t matter. “It will be absorbed anyway.”
“Ah, you said you were going to absorb the Karma Corporation.”
“no. “It’s the opposite.”
Association President Lee Du-sik stood up with an expression of determination.
“We’re not going to absorb it… we’re going to be absorbed.”
Yes, this is a reward for shouldering the burden and resolving this issue.
Just try it your way.
Either take down the International Association or rise to the top yourself.
