The Dungeon Cleaning Life of a Once Genius Hunter - Chapter 153

The subjugation ended quickly, as expected.

It’s an orange-level high-risk dungeon, and it’s a demon-type monster whose pattern analysis is difficult, but what’s the big deal?

The number of people subjugated is 1st in the previous ranking and 1st in the current ranking.

‘To begin with, that one guy is at a level equivalent to the power of most guilds…’ I

muttered, looking at him slightly out of breath as if he had just exercised lightly.

Anyway, the subjugation was completed and I was about to finish it and leave.

“I think it’s time for you to answer.”

Noah spoke as if he had been waiting.

From the looks of it, it looks like subjugation wasn’t even on their mind in the first place.

“How on earth do you know about my sister?”

“Hmm… it’s a bit difficult to explain.”

I glanced at Lee Ah-young and Chloe waiting outside and opened my mouth quietly.

“Actually, I know a lot about you. He was adopted by white parents along with his younger brother, but suffered from domestic violence all along. Things like that…”

“…!”

“Then, when this ability manifested itself, the adoptive parents were thrown into a dungeon, I guess?”

At that moment, Noah’s pupils shook.

“Well, anyway, after having such an unfortunate childhood with your younger brother, you were lucky enough to get into a decent guild, and your younger brother also joined the American branch as a cleaner, but he died in an accident while working shortly after.”

“Fuck. “How on earth…”

He trailed off as if he couldn’t believe it.

How do I know?

He said this himself when he went to stop you from starting a war against the International Association before returning.

“Well, I can explain how I know… but isn’t there something else you should be more curious about than that?”

“what?”

“Your sister…did she really die in an accident?”

[Unique skill: Apocalypse]

[As long as the unique skill lasts, all of the caster’s stats will continuously increase]

As soon as he finished speaking, he activated the skill and grabbed my collar.

Noah Westonwood.

A historically very unusual hunter who achieved the world’s No. 1 ranking in the Guardian class.

However, unlike other guardians who protect their allies with high defense and stamina, his class is a little special.

What he protects is not his allies, but only himself.

‘Especially because he is quite picky with awakening skills…’

The last survivor of Apocalypse awakening skills.

As a result of the skill’s effect, the more opponents there are and the longer the battle, the closer it becomes to invincibility.

Thanks to this, not only can it not be easily killed, but if its status reaches its maximum… even I can’t guarantee the outcome.

“You… how much do you know!”

He asks in a threatening voice, his eyes focused.

“well. “I don’t think there’s anything more to say here.”

“Answer me straight! “Unless you want to die!”

“Don’t you have eyes to see? “If you want to hear more, let’s set a separate date.”

“No, I need to listen right now. “If you can’t speak, I’ll kill you to make you blow.”

“Write it. Do you think my employees outside will stay still if I leave the dungeon without me?”

“What do you think they can do to me?”

“….”

Now that I think about it, that’s it.

No matter how much of a duo Kim Min-ju and Han Yu-bin are, they are no match for this guy.

“So I mean after that. Headquarters will not look favorably on fighting in someone else’s country after the transaction is over. “If you’re not careful, you might get cut off before you find what you want.”

“….”

Fortunately, the persuasion seemed to have worked, and Noah’s momentum gradually waned.

After all, don’t you have doubts yourself?

He said the headquarters was involved in his brother’s death.

That’s why they made such a fuss against the International Association before returning.

He probably infiltrated the International Association to find out the truth.

You can’t just go in and leave without getting any harvest.

“…Set a date.”

“I’ll contact you later about that.”

“If you do this and then pretend not to notice… you will have to be really prepared.”

“Let me keep that in mind. Oh, and there is one condition.”

“condition?”

“yes. “There is something you need to bring when we meet.”

It was a fight he couldn’t win from the beginning since he took my bait.

Therefore, I did not miss the opportunity and got to the point.

***

Immediately after exiting the split dungeon, we went our separate ways without saying goodbye.

Director Lee Ah-young, who noticed that Noah and Chloe had become distant, immediately asked.

“What did you talk about with that man after the subjugation?”

“Didn’t you say you were anxious about bank items being transferred over to that direction? So I threw some bait. “It’s bait that you can’t resist biting.”

“…yes?”

Hmm, where should I start explaining?

After thinking about it for a while, I decided to keep the story as brief as possible.

“That guy named Noah. Actually, I don’t really like international associations. “My younger sister died while working at the U.S. branch.”

“hmm? But why now…”

“I am suspicious. It wasn’t an accident, something else happened. So, when PB Corporation offered to recruit you, you probably thought it was a good opportunity. You can investigate it yourself. “I tried to use that as an excuse to attract some attention.”

“Is that why you brought up your sister’s story in the first place?”

“yes. “If you speak as if you know something, you will definitely get a reaction.”

In fact, there was a response right away.

“Anyway, after the subjugation was over, I leaked some information. “There will probably be news soon.”

“You mean… do you know why his sister died?”

“…no.”

How do I know that?

He didn’t tell me up to that point.

“yes yes? Did you just throw it without even knowing it?! “It’s also a family affair?!”

“I’m not that mean. Well… I have to find out now.”

Honestly, that incident stinks a bit.

It’s clear there’s something there.

Above all…

‘Well… there are some similarities with my friend’s job over there.’

“Anyway, that’s for later. Until then, let’s just focus on our work. “It’s going to be quite busy starting today.”

“…all right.”

After the conversation, I joined the staff waiting outside.

“I’m sorry…”

As soon as Minju Kim sees me, she immediately bows down.

I was confused for a moment, wondering why this was happening, but I quickly realized the meaning.

“I would have definitely ordered you to retreat.”

“….”

“Why did you proceed with the subjugation?”

Kim Min-ju, who hesitated for a while, finally opened his mouth.

“Not yet…”

“What?”

“I haven’t received my salary yet.”

“….”

…what?

Did I hear wrong now?

My thoughts stopped for a moment at the answer that made me believe my ears.

But it wasn’t like it wasn’t strange for a day or two, so I decided to do it.

‘Tsk… Yeah, it was something I expected anyway.’

Of course, it is true that you disobeyed my orders.

If I were not careful, the plan could have gone wrong.

But in the end, the goal was achieved…

‘It is true that I survived thanks to you.’

I wondered if I should say one more thing, but I didn’t think doing so would change anything, so I decided to stop.

I’m not a kid who doesn’t know his mistakes to the point where he gets pointed out one by one like before.

“done. “Do better next time.”

“…yes yes!”

I left her behind and got into the vehicle I had prepared.

Just then a phone call came.

“I saw the news. How did you end it well?”

“Yes, president of the association. “It ended well.”

“Thank you for your hard work. “Thanks to you, not only we but all of Korea survived.”

“The praise is too much.”

“That’s too much. If it weren’t for you, I’d be a total mess, man!”

Why do they suddenly curse?

“Anyway, I prepared a gift for you as a reward for your hard work this time.”

“…Yes?”

“You know that absorption thing you mentioned last time. “Handing over Karma Corporation to the Association…”

“Ah, yes. “What did you think?”

“When I think about it, I don’t think it has much merit. So…”

I suddenly started to feel anxious.

“I’m thinking of disbanding the association at this point.”

“….”

What?

What now?

“Chairman of the Association… Have you ever tried medicinal liquor?”

“no? “I’m sober.”

“….”

It’s even more shocking that you spewed out that bullshit while you were sober.

“Where are you now, Chairman of the Association?”

“It’s headquarters.”

“Please stay still. “I will go right now.”

Anyway, this guy and that guy, no one is sane.

***

After completing the transaction, it was shortly after the ship carrying Chloe and Noah left Incheon Port.

“So…”

Team leader Chloe sneakily approached Noah, who was lost in thought on the bow.

“What did you two talk about?”

“A story?”

“Right after the subjugation. “You even grabbed me by the collar.”

“…You just started a fight again.”

Noah tried to answer as if it was no big deal.

“You’ve put up with your personality well.”

“I also know how to differentiate between public and private life. Since we belong to PB Corporation, we must only follow the job description.”

I answered just fine.

Chloe still looked quite suspicious.

“Anyway, what is the story about your younger sister that CEO Kim told you about in the dungeon?”

“…It’s no big deal.”

“You were a cleaner for the International Association? “This is my first time hearing something like that.”

“hey.”

Noah, who had maintained a calm expression, secretly revealed his anger.

“Didn’t you say it was no big deal?”

“There’s nothing I can’t say to my senior.”

“If you’re looking for a treat, then quit.”

“I didn’t even expect it.”

Chloe turned her back as if she had lost interest.

Meanwhile, Noah’s eyes kept turning to the suitcase.

And then the phone rings.

It was from CEO Emma.

“Have you secured bank items?”

“Yes. I received it without problem. “I… am truly sorry for what happened during the transaction.”

In fact, it was an apology bordering on fear.

It wasn’t her responsibility, but she was there anyway.

It was clear that the Secretary General would have been quite angry if he had seen what was going on.

If you are not careful, the anger may spread to you and you may have to take responsibility.

“You don’t have to worry about that. The Secretary General said he had no choice. Well, putting that aside…”

Representative Emma got to the point.

“I have something to check, so please bring bank items to headquarters as soon as they arrive.”

“To avoid getting caught at customs, you must bring them in as research equipment. Then, we have no choice but to go straight to the research lab….”

「You can just leave it to Team Leader Noah. “If it’s the world’s No. 1 item, we don’t inspect it that rigorously.”

Noah’s eyes turned to her as if he had heard the call.

“…All right.”

Chloe hung up the phone and looked like she hesitated for a moment.

But even for a moment, she held out the suitcase to Noah.

“I think you should bring it to headquarters.”

“Sure.”

Noah answered dryly.

It was as if he had no interest whatsoever in whether it was a bank item or not.
