The Dungeon Cleaning Life of a Once Genius Hunter - Chapter 186

“I’ve heard a lot of rumors, Mr. Kim.”

Wesley Martin.

The current Secretary General of the International Hunter Association reached out to me.

But I ignored it and opened my mouth.

“If I had known we would meet like this, I would have dressed up a little more.”

“…it’s okay. “It’s not like we have a formal relationship.”

“Haha, I’m glad you spoke so openly.”

As we were formalizing each other, Wesley and I looked at each other.

The one who made me regress.

The culprit of all this.

The elation of finally meeting him made me smile without even realizing it.

“So, the person who has been quietly staying at headquarters even when employees are dying, what is going on this time?”

“That means that the situation is the situation. Honestly… I didn’t know they would even block rankers.”

“Didn’t you underestimate me too much? “Considering what has happened so far, I would have expected it well.”

“Well, rather than underestimating you, I think I overestimated the rankers.”

Secretary General Wesley’s eyes turned to Yuito, who was lying on the floor.

The man who was ranked second in the world just a few minutes ago had no excuses.

Secretary General Wesley continued.

“Anyway, I think it will be difficult to leave it to subordinates anymore since things have become like this.”

“Now it sounds like they came rushing in because they thought they were in big trouble.”

“ha ha ha! Don’t get me wrong, Mr. Kim.”

His sharp gaze landed on me.

“Don’t you know better that it will be difficult to proceed with the subjugation any further?”

“well. Even if the headquarters collapses, wouldn’t we be able to proceed somehow as long as we have team members?”

“I don’t think the team members are in a state to continue the subjugation.”

At his words, I looked around.

The scene truly became chaos.

Numerous casualties resulting from the sudden attack.

They managed to block it somehow, but most of them didn’t even have the strength left to hold their weapons.

That… seemed to be the same for Kim Min-ju as well.

‘I can’t believe I did this against a few rankers…’

I clicked my tongue and shook my head.

Although it is unfair, Wesley is right.

If everyone is in this state, further subjugation will be difficult.

“Of course, given your personality, you will try to find Eden again somehow. Well, it’s not difficult to stop it every time… because the loss on our side is not that big. In any case, we want to avoid a war of attrition.”

“You can stop it, but it doesn’t pay off?”

“Isn’t it the same for you? If you hate the International Association so much, you can destroy it by force. But since you have to bear the same amount of loss, you probably don’t want to use that method just yet.”

That is correct.

Frankly, the fastest way to become Secretary-General is to take over the International Association by force and forcibly take the position.

However, not doing so is because the risk in case of failure is too great.

The decision was made that it would be better to go back a little rather than risk a loss that would make it impossible to recover.

“That’s why war has always been the last resort. Whether you win or lose, you both suffer the same loss. “Especially in today’s world, it is more important not to suffer losses than to gain.”

“So what do you want to say?”

“Is there really a need for both of us to suffer losses? From the looks of it, it seems like something we can agree on.”

“Let’s negotiate? “Is there anything you can do for me?”

When I asked, Wesley glared quietly and said,

“From now on, subjugation around the world will be managed by our international association. If that happens, all independent punitive organizations, including you, will end up on the streets. But… you want to stop that, right?”

“…what?”

“Isn’t that why you came to the past? “To stop the International Association’s dominance and bring me down.”

“…!”

At that moment, my body froze.

What is this guy…

he knows I’ve regressed…?

After being paralyzed for a moment due to great shock, Wesley spoke again.

“There is no need to be so surprised. “If you think about it a little, you can figure it all out.”

“….”

“Well, I’d like to applaud you for sacrificing yourself for the greater good, but honestly, who knows?”

My eyebrows twitched.

representation? sacrifice?

What kind of bullshit is that?

“Please join the International Association, Mr. Kim. We will ensure that you can operate freely. “If you need anything, we will support you.”

“….”

“I guess that alone is not enough. great. Then… I will even promise you the position of the next Secretary General.”

what?

“How is it. “If you stay under me for a few years, the whole world will be in your hands.”

“Instead, don’t look for Eden anymore…?”

“To be exact, don’t disturb us.”

“….”

I did my best to hide my embarrassment.

How on earth do you know?

Have you done any research on timing?

No, putting that aside…

‘Do you think I returned to stop you…?’

It doesn’t matter what you think.

As a result, it presented exactly what I wanted.

But you can’t just say it’s right here.

“Is there any reason for me to accept that?”

“hmm?”

“If I kill you here, everything will be resolved, so why bother doing such a troublesome thing?”

“ha ha ha! Would you like to try it? “If I can.”

He spread his arms and smiled broadly.

I couldn’t move quickly.

It’s not difficult to kill that guy here.

Considering all the things you’ve done to me so far, there’s no reason to chat like this.

But unfortunately, that doesn’t change anything.

Even if I kill that person here, wouldn’t I become Secretary General?

Above all, the influence of international associations cannot be ignored. The majority of the world, including branches, still trust the International Association.

If the Secretary General dies in such a situation, he may become a hero who died in the line of duty while fighting against an unofficial subjugation organization.

In the worst case scenario, we will be targeted by the whole world.

This is extremely fatal in a situation where Karma Corporation must be recognized as a second international association.

That may be why Wesley has now appeared in person.

I guess he knows that I can’t kill him.

‘Is there no way…’

Honestly, even if I find Eden first, there is no guarantee that things will be better than this.

From the beginning, I even promised to become Secretary General, which was my only goal.

So then, is there any need to fight any more?

Is there a need to go through all the trouble of making Karma a second international association?

Is there any reason to go back that far?

Now, it seems pointless to bow down to that guy, but no matter how much I think about it, here, reaching an agreement as he says is…

“….”

The moment my thoughts reached that point, I made eye contact with Kim Min-ju, who was next to me.

She didn’t say anything and just looked at me quietly.

There was no anxiety or worry in those eyes.

I raised my head and looked around again.

The team members are all covered in blood and barely breathing after a life-threatening battle.

They were all looking at me with bated breath.

‘Do you all want to join the International Association?…’

Well, if you pretend to be with them, you will have to fight for your life again.

No matter how much you follow me, your safety will ultimately come first.

At that time, I burst out laughing without realizing it.

I’m sorry.

It’s not that I don’t know how I feel, but… no matter how much I think about it, I can’t do it.

I just can’t get the heart to go under that bastard.

In that case, it would be better not to go back.

But the problem is what comes next.

It is definitely impossible to continue looking for Eden in this state.

Moreover, after the grace period, Karma Corporation will be officially disbanded.

Even if I don’t accept negotiation, I have no cards left.

Truly the worst situation.

It was a time when I wondered what to do.

Jijijik-.

Just then my communicator rang.

“yes.”

It was a communication from none other than Director Lee Ah-young.

“…Is that true? …All right.”

After completing the short communication, I looked at Secretary General Wesley again.

“Anyway… it looks like the negotiations have broken down.”

He smiled and opened his mouth.

***

In front of Kim Jun-woo, who was thinking for a while, Secretary General Wesley was smiling leisurely.

No matter who he is, there is no reason not to accept the deal.

Because there is nothing to lose.

As long as you join the International Association, you can continue your subjugation activities as you wish.

This means that the existing team can move more freely.

He even put forward the position of the next Secretary General.

All of this is subject to one condition: not to find Eden.

A smart person will immediately realize that there is no reason to reject this.

No matter how much one came to the past for a greater cause, there was no way he would turn a blind eye to the power that was right in front of him.

‘Well, the others seem to want to reject it…’

Wesley thought, looking around from the corner of his eye.

Well, they are the kind of people who would follow Kim Jun-woo even to hell, so they wouldn’t care what hardships they go through next to him.

I just hope that Kim Jun-woo never bows his head.

But it is a vain hope.

In the end, Kim Jun-woo also accepts the negotiation unconditionally since he is a human being.

Once Kim Jun-woo gets his hands on him, there will be no one who can interfere with him anymore.

Secretary General position?

You can hand over any number of positions that are only in name.

The important thing is not the business card, but who actually holds the power to subdue it.

The moment when I was looking at Kim Jun-woo with a confident expression.

“Anyway… it looks like the negotiations have broken down.”

He said something unexpected.

“What what…?”

“We just got what we wanted.”

“…!”

Secretary General Wesley’s pupils widened.

Could it be that…

have we found Eden?

‘Why the fuck now…!’

Secretary General Wesley’s fist clenched.

‘No, no…’

Anyway, it doesn’t make sense that I found Eden at such good timing.

It could just be a bluff from someone who doesn’t have a hand.

Here, you need to check it first.

“ha ha ha. Have you found Eden at this timing? “It’s a surprising coincidence.”

“I don’t think there’s any reason to answer. “Then, I think we’ve finished talking, so I’ll just end this…”

Kim Jun-woo turns his back without even the slightest sign of regret.

Seeing that, Secretary General Wesley began to feel quite anxious.

I kept muttering with my mouth that it was a lie, but in my head it was not true.

What if it’s not a lie?

What if, just by chance, we have really found Eden?

‘Damn it…’

The risk at stake is too great to judge based on feelings alone.

Dungeons and special ability monsters and hunters.

The only switch that can end this unexplained phenomenon that has continued for 50 years.

If that item really fell into that bastard’s hands…

everything, including the International Association, would disappear.

‘What the fuck should I do…’

He chewed his teeth.

Meanwhile, Kim Jun-woo was moving further and further away, and his judgment was becoming increasingly clouded due to his nervousness and anxiety.

“…for a moment.”

In the end, Secretary General Wesley spoke first.

“…What do you want?”
