The Dungeon Cleaning Life of a Once Genius Hunter - Chapter 187

“You mean what you want?”

It was the moment I turned my back without regret.

Sure enough, Secretary General Wesley urgently called me over.

He slowly stopped walking and opened his mouth.

“Are you still planning to negotiate?”

“Isn’t that why you sought Eden because you wanted something from us? You can say anything. “I will listen to you as much as I can.”

Secretary General Wesley tried to speak calmly, but his expression did not show that.

Well, of course.

Because the absolute hilt of the sword has been handed over to us.

Secretary-General Wesley’s purpose is to control subjugation powers around the world.

But for this to happen, two conditions are necessary.

First, you must own all the bank items that allow you to freely control dungeons and abilities around the world.

Second, we must prevent Eden from falling into the hands of others.

Eden is attracting attention as the biggest cause of strange phenomena that have continued for 50 years.

In other words, this strange phenomenon can be eliminated by using Eden.

If we go back to the peaceful times when dungeons, monster hunters, and special abilities didn’t exist… the subjugation authority would be controlled and the International Association itself would disappear.

From Wesley’s perspective, that must be prevented at all costs.

To him, dungeons are not a disaster, but just a business tool.

And that’s…

‘It’s the same for me…’

Even if I get Eden, I can’t use it either.

My goal is to become the secretary general of an international association.

Of course, I can’t achieve that goal in a world where dungeons and hunters have disappeared, so Eden is like a sword that I can’t wield.

Nevertheless, the reason he tried so hard to find Eden was to prevent Eden from falling into Wesley’s hands… and at the same time to prevent a situation where the International Association attempted to control the entire world through negotiations.

“No matter how much I think about it, I see no reason to negotiate. “No matter what you do, don’t you just eliminate this phenomenon?”

“Since you’re making money on this floor, wouldn’t it be better to make more practical gains than for the dungeon to disappear?”

Secretary General Wesley’s voice went beyond earnestness to a level of desperation.

I almost smiled.

“That’s certainly true. “I don’t know if there are any conditions that the Secretary General will put forward.”

“Don’t do that, just say it first.”

“If I told you to withdraw control of the world’s subjugation power, would you do it?”

“….”

I can never do that.

I went to great lengths to collect bank items just to control the subjugation authority.

“Look at that. You want control, I want independence. “We have completely opposite interests. Do you think this can be negotiated?”

“….”

Secretary General Wesley gritted his teeth.

I lowered my head and began to think for a while.

And soon.

“…great.”

He opened his mouth with a determined expression, as if he had prepared for something.

“Let me take a step back.”

“How do you mean?”

“We will recognize Karma Corporation as an independent punitive organization. Also, instead of us managing the subjugation rights, we will hand over the hunter management rights to them.”

I was a little amazed on the inside.

I will give you the authority to manage hunters and give you the right to subjugate them.

This means that independent suppression is still impossible without permission from the international association.

However, on the other hand, it also means that the International Association cannot proceed with the subjugation without permission from our side.

The ideal conditions for me as no one party has control.

It is certainly a fairly unconventional condition to give away one of the two types of control, but…

“Well, I don’t know. “I don’t think that’s enough…”

If I was only going to be satisfied with that much, I wouldn’t have even started.

“…Is there anything else you want?”

“Honestly, there is no guarantee that something like this won’t happen again.”

“…so?”

“We need to be recognized not only as an independent organization but also as an operational management organization.”

“What does that mean?”

“I would like to be given the authority to manage and supervise all operations conducted by the International Association from now on.”

Secretary General Wesley’s eyebrows twitched.

Once the International Association has the authority to manage and supervise operations, it will no longer be able to conduct operations like this one.

At the same time, not only will they not be able to operate in the shadows, they won’t even be able to attempt a plan to attack us.

In other words, it means that we will drive a wedge so that they cannot touch us in the future.

of course.

“Oh and one more thing.”

Here is not the end.

“Why don’t we manage Si-seok and Ji-won-seok at the International Association while we manage Lee Neung-seok and Ban Neung-seok? “Wouldn’t your credibility drop if you only verbally hand over authority?”

“…It’s too much.”

“This is a negotiation where Eden is at stake, so shouldn’t it be at this level?”

I said with a smile.

Secretary General Wesley let out a trembling sigh.

Anyone who could see his face had an expression of suppressed anger.

“So… if we agree to all those conditions, will you hand over Eden to us?”

“Well, wouldn’t it be dangerous for one side to have Eden? “If you accept the conditions, we will handle it responsibly.”

“How can I believe that?…”

“If you don’t believe it, there’s nothing we can do.”

I shrugged my shoulders.

They made ridiculous conditions, but they wouldn’t even hand over Eden.

At first glance, it is an unreasonable negotiation that there is absolutely no reason to accept.

But the situation is the situation.

Since what we have is something that can blow up the entire international association…

“…I will contact you as soon as possible.”

Wesley has no choice but to unconditionally accept this negotiation.

“I’ll be waiting.”

This time, I approached him first and shook his hand.

But he tried to ignore it and turned his back.

In that split second, I could see his face crumpled with anger, but what could I do?

The hilt of the sword has already passed into my hand.

“Then go in carefully. “It was a pleasure meeting you.”

Secretary General Wesley left my greeting behind and walked away with the accompanying staff.

Finally, after he was completely far away, I took a deep breath.

“…Would it be okay?”

Kim Min-ju, who came next to me, asked worriedly.

“From hunter management authority to operation management supervision authority. “The conditions are perfect, so why worry?”

“I’m worried that I just accepted those good conditions. You might get stabbed later. Especially when you look at what you’ve done so far…”

“What’s at stake now has a different weight. Eden is their Achilles heel. “I probably won’t even think about stabbing you.”

I answered casually.

“Anyway, we received bank items and were recognized as an independent organization. “The authority of the international association has been officially divided…it couldn’t be better than this.”

“As a condition, we have to give back the Eden we found. Instead of dividing powers, it could have turned the entire world upside down….”

“Well, it certainly could have happened.”

I continued speaking while glancing at Minjoo Kim.

“If you really found Eden.”

“…yes?”

For a moment, Kim Min-ju’s eyes widened.

But instead of answering, I just raised one corner of my mouth.

***

US branch central control room.

Director Lee Ah-young remained there alone and continued to bite his fingernails.

This was because Kim Jun-woo, who had gone to the south to assist, had not heard from him for several hours.

Well, the man couldn’t have died… but I couldn’t help but feel worried.

He was walking back and forth in the office for several minutes looking quite nervous.

In the end, I couldn’t bear my anxiety and picked up the communicator.

“Yes.”

“Hello?”

After a short connection sound, Kim Jun-woo’s calm voice was heard.

“What happened?! What’s the situation? Is anyone hurt? “Why aren’t you contacting me like this? I’m worried!”

「….」

I was relieved and at the same time nagging, but for some reason, Kim Jun-woo had no answer.

Director Lee Ah-young sensed something was unusual and cautiously opened his mouth again.

“hey? “Why aren’t you saying anything?”

“…Really?”

Then came a very unexpected answer.

“…? What are you talking about all of a sudden? “What is real?”

Lee Ah-young tilted her head.

However, Kim Jun-woo still spoke unintelligible words.

“…All right. “I’m going right away, so please keep it safe.”

“What are you talking about?” “Please explain so I can understand…!”

Pop-.

Communication was cut off so unilaterally.

Director Lee Ah-young looked at the turned off communication device with an expression of incomprehension.

What on earth is this man?

“….”

Secretary-General Wesley’s private plane was crossing the skies of the United States and heading to the headquarters of the International Association.

There was a heavy atmosphere in the plane immediately after takeoff.

In fact, the employees had a lot to say about the negotiations just now.

However, no one could hastily open their mouths due to Wesley’s extremely angry expression.

“Um…”

At that time, an employee spoke cautiously while carrying a gun.

“Secretary General, no matter how I look at this negotiation, it makes no sense…”

[Unique skill: Creation of Heaven and Earth]

[Creates a unique space in the 11th dimension]

Seokgeuk―.

At that moment, the upper body of the employee who opened his mouth disappeared somewhere.

The body falling to the floor at the same time.

The other employees all covered their mouths at the shocking sight.

However, Secretary General Wesley did not even pay attention to the employee who was instantly cut in half.

It was a time when everyone was so scared that they didn’t even dare to breathe.

“Are you really going to listen to my conditions?”

Wesley’s assistant spoke on behalf of the cold employee.

Even after witnessing that terrible scene, his voice was quite calm.

“….”

“No matter how much I think about it, it’s strange. At this moment, I suddenly found Eden. It must be a lie…”

“Or?”

“…yes?”

Secretary General Wesley’s stern eyes fell on her.

“If it turns out to be a lie, will you take responsibility for it?”

“That…”

“The risk is too high to gamble.”

Soon Secretary General Wesley took a deep breath.

“It’s painful… but there’s nothing we can do. “For now, we have no choice but to accept their conditions.”

“But if you hand over bank items to the hunter management authority, we…”

“It won’t work out as originally planned.”

The plan to control dungeons and hunters around the world.

If you agree to Kim Jun-woo’s conditions, everything will be in vain.

However, the mere fact that he already has Eden means that his plan has been disrupted.

So there is no choice.

Here we have no choice but to take a step back.

“For now, let’s watch the situation. “Afterwards, when it becomes clear that Eden has been dealt with… let’s take the loss as well.”

“What you’re saying is….”

“It means preparing the last bastion.”

The last bastion.

This is the last resort that must be taken even at the cost of loss.

That meant war.

As the situation became more and more serious, the secretary swallowed his saliva without realizing it.
