[International Hunter Association and Karma Corporation’s takeover of the Hong Kong branch? The International Association’s official statement, ‘There is no such fact’]

[Series of testimonies from Hong Kong citizens raise suspicion of ‘air raids to recapture the Hong Kong branch of the Chinese Association’]

[What were they trying to prevent by ‘blockading Hong Kong’ even though they were able to evacuate sufficiently?]

[China Team leader Raiviu, a member of the association’s control team, gives shocking testimony that ‘it was planned from the beginning’]

[Both the citizens and the branch tried to bury the failure of the plan so that it would not be revealed. What will President Lee do?]

[Authorities all say Chairman Lee acted alone. They will be severely punished]

[The Chinese association launched an airstrike to recapture the Hong Kong branch, and Karma Corporation dispatched it for rescue operations. Two conflicting organizations]

[Karma Corporation rescues Hong Kong citizens and provides subjugation support. Expression of gratitude from the Hong Kong branch]

[Will Karma Corporation, which has taken over leadership, take over the Hong Kong branch as is?]

China Association Headquarters.

Association President’s Office.

“Haha…”

Association President Lee laughed as if he had lost his mind as he watched the articles pouring out like crazy.

As soon as we heard that citizens had fled Hong Kong, we tried to control the media, but unfortunately, we could not stop the overseas media from moving.

As a result, this is what happened.

Testimonies from Hong Kong citizens and employees of the Hong Kong branch continued, and the arrow regarding this incident was pointed squarely at the headquarters.

“Hong Kong…”

Chairman Lee asked the executive secretary in a hushed voice.

“What’s going on in Hong Kong now?”

“Currently, all dungeons in Hong Kong have been conquered.”

The secretary answered in a heavy voice.

“It is said that all escaped monsters were handled by the Hong Kong branch operations team. “The operation is currently over and the site is being cleaned up.”

“What nonsense…”

Association President Lee burst into laughter.

Dozens of continuously generated high-risk level dungeons.

Hundreds of escaped monsters have taken over the city center.

I thought it was a situation that could never be resolved no matter who was in charge.

That’s why Hong Kong was blockaded.

To forever bury what happened there in the name of a failed operation.

But after that man took over command, everything went wrong.

Representative of Karma Corporation.

Junwoo Kim.

This ridiculous situation was resolved with a significantly insufficient number of personnel and no proper support team or preparation.

Of course, I already know that he is a very talented person.

But even so, is this really possible?

No matter how veteran you are, there is no way you can solve this situation alone…

-Human. People follow that guy. That’s why Kim Jun-woo is really scary.

At that moment, the words CEO Emma said the other day flashed through my mind.

‘Is this what he meant…’

President Lee finally realized what he meant, but it was already too late.

“Rezizing.”

Just then, a police officer burst into the office calling his name.

“You are under arrest for threatening national security.”

“….”

It’s coming.

Chairman Lee, who sensed that everything was over, slowly stood up.

“Go with my feet.”

With those words, he left the office surrounded by police officers.

***

Downtown Hong Kong.

In the place where the sudden disaster swept over, nothing was okay.

The city center was completely ruined. It was a place where there didn’t seem to be a single ant baby.

“Director Moon, the dismantling of Area B has been completed! Where should I transport it?”

“Ah, we will transport it together with the by-products from Area C, so leave it alone.”

“All right!”

“Team Leader Han! There are too many corpses in Area A! “Can you help me a little bit?”

“Hang in there. “I’ll just take care of this and leave!”

The busy conversation of the on-site recovery team dispatched from headquarters continued to echo.

It was a time when both the dungeon cleaning team and the by-product disposal team were disposing of corpses in the city according to their respective roles.

“Moon So-yeon! “Do you have any leftover medicine from your team?”

Cleaning Team 1 leader Han Sang-hyuk raised his voice towards Moon So-yeon.

“yes? No. “Ours is not enough!”

“Oh, should I go to the support team and get it? It’s annoying…”

“If you’re going to go, please take ours too.”

“…If that’s the case, why don’t we just go together?”

“I have a lot to do~”

The team members were quite embarrassed by the scene where the team leader spoke informally to the cleaning manager and the manager treated the team leader with respect.

The two parties involved seemed to be fine.

“Anyway… You must have had quite a hard time this time too.”

Sanghyuk Han said as he looked around the area full of dead bodies.

“That’s right. “Isn’t this the same level as the last Regen dungeon?”

“I think it’s worse than that? Anyway. “It’s a miracle that everyone is safe.”

“….”

At that moment, a shadow appeared on Moon So-yeon’s face.

Then he opened his mouth in a very heavy voice.

“Junwoo… you’ll be okay, right?”

“Well, the doctor said there is no major problem with your body. They say all you have to do is regain consciousness…”

Han Sang-hyuk also ruffled his hair in frustration.

The first news he heard immediately after being dispatched was that Kim Jun-woo had become unconscious.

Kim Min-ju said it was because they used too much force during the subjugation.

They didn’t tell me at all what happened.

Even now, three days after the end of the subjugation, Kim Jun-woo’s consciousness has not yet returned.

Han Sang-hyuk couldn’t believe that Kim Jun-woo had collapsed.

What on earth happened here that caused him, not anyone else, to lose his mind?

“Anyway, that bastard is also that bastard….”

“Seeing as Jun-woo, Min-joo, and Yu-bin were seriously injured, it must have been a really dangerous situation.”

“Tsk, that’s right…”

There was silence between the two for a moment due to this very heavy story.

How many seconds passed like that?

“Team Leader Han! “Hurry!”

The silence was finally broken by the voice of an employee calling for Han Sang-hyuk.

“okay. Let’s go! I’ll go first. thanks for your effort.”

“yes. Good luck to you, Sanghyuk.”

Han Sang-hyuk walked quickly like that.

Neither of them said anything, but they sincerely prayed that he would open his eyes quickly.

***

“…Huh!”

It was the moment I opened my eyes, startled by something terrible.

Before I could come to my senses, I felt extreme pain and a headache all over my body.

His entire body was covered in sweat and he was continuously breathing heavily.

“…Fuck.”

I lowered my head, holding my throbbing head.

It felt like I was having a nightmare.

I had a very terrible nightmare of killing my comrades with my own hands.

I moved my gaze elsewhere to shake off my thoughts.

“This is…”

I belatedly looked around with still bewildered eyes and saw that it was my first time seeing a hospital room.

As soon as I slowly began to come back to my senses, past memories suddenly flashed through my mind.

Last dungeon.

An angel-type monster.

And I used the awakening skill…

“This is crazy…!”

I immediately kicked off the blanket and tried to get up.

“Mr. Seo…?”

Kim Min-ju entered the hospital room just at that moment.

“teacher?! are you okay? Are you out of your mind?! Do you recognize me?!”

He runs to me and urgently asks me how I am feeling.

But that was actually what I wanted to say.

“Are you… are you okay? What about Yubin? What about Noah? “Are you sure everyone is safe?”

“…We’re all okay.”

Kim Min-ju answered with a smile, but Kim Jun-woo couldn’t believe it.

“Is this really okay?! “It’s clear that I’ve lost my mind…!”

“Did you run away?”

“….”

I was speechless.

Skill explosion.

A phenomenon in which a body that has reached its limit is unable to control its skills.

Of course, in general, no matter how much you overdo it, it doesn’t go into a runaway state.

In most cases, the body, feeling its limitations, instinctively blocks the ability to use the skill any further.

However, hunters who have abilities that are powerful enough to surpass their instincts are consumed by their own skills the moment their bodies exceed their limits.

Therefore, skill overload is a phenomenon that is occasionally reported only to hunters of S rank or higher.

A hunter in a runaway state has a level of risk equivalent to that of a yellow-level boss monster.

The higher the skill rank and the closer the body is to its limits, the risk increases exponentially.

My body was already at its limit due to using the awakening skill several times in the previous dungeon.

Moreover, my skill is SSS rank.

If I went into a runaway state, there would have been no hope even if everyone in the room attacked me.

So I told him not to fight, but to run away.

But the fact that I’m in the hospital right now…

“Actually, I almost didn’t feel okay.”

At that time, Kim Min-ju opened his mouth insinuatingly.

“I was really scared, teacher. “Even if we all attack, we can’t stop it.”

“….”

“But how could we leave you behind? “I tried my best to stop him, but…”

Kim Min-ju’s eyes turned to his right arm.

There were bandages covered in blood.

It wasn’t just his right arm. Now that I look at it, it looks like my face, neck and legs were seriously injured.

“Yubin said that almost all of her ribs were gone. Thanks to this, I am now playing with my phone in bed. “Noah didn’t want to be in the same hospital, so he went somewhere first.”

“…But I guess you managed to stop it.”

“no. “I couldn’t stop it.”

“what?”

“We couldn’t stop it. “The teacher stopped it himself.”

She looked at me and spoke.

“Even though he was irrational, he desperately tried not to attack us. “He stayed in an unconscious state for a while and eventually collapsed.”

“….”

“But you’re glad it ended like this, right?”

“….”

I saved my answer.

As he kept his mouth shut for a long time, Kim Min-ju also looked helpless.

“I’m going to talk to the doctor. “Don’t overexert yourself and just lie down!”

And then he finally tried to leave.

That was when she was about to leave the hospital room.

“…I’m sorry.”

I said that quietly.

Then Kim Min-joo smiled and answered.

“If you’re really sorry, go to Korea and eat beef.”

“….”

Now that I think about it, I don’t think I’m that sorry….

After Minju Kim left, the hospital room became quiet again.

While various emotions were mixed.

Ringing -.

My cell phone rang.

“CEO Kim? This is Jo Hyeon-min. “Are you feeling okay?”

It was a call from none other than President Cho Hyun-min.

“Yeah well… I think it’s okay.”

“I heard you lost consciousness, but I’m glad you’re safe.”

“Thank you for your concern. “Anyway, what happened…”

I’m so tired, so why don’t you just tell me the main point?

“It’s nothing else. It is said that the head of the Re-Jaying Association has been booked. “It seems like the government is trying to blame it all on Chairman Lee’s lone crime.”

“Is that so?”

“Well, as long as the situation is an emergency, they can’t hold us responsible. Even if we took over the Hong Kong branch, we wouldn’t even dream of diplomatic retaliation.”

“If that happens, we won’t be able to remain in the international association.”

“That’s correct. As if the International Association had been waiting, they withdrew their membership. It is only natural that this incident has already completely escaped the attention of the international community. And most of all…”

He slowly continued speaking.

“Now the grace period is over.”

“Ah…”

I sighed softly.

The period during which independent associations and private punitive organizations could voluntarily join international associations has finally ended.

Now, all subjugation rights belong to the International Association, and those who are not part of the International Association cannot subdue.

Say that again.

“The Chinese association has become the duck egg of the Nakdong River.”

“I guess so.”

“This is how it came to be…”

President Cho Hyun-min slightly cheered.

“How about we bring him in?”

“Well, that wouldn’t be a bad idea. But…”

I answered after gathering my thoughts for a moment.

“I won’t accept it easily.”

Because things have changed.
