“Well then, the obstructionist will also be gone…” He
looked at Hwang Dong-hwi, who was silently hanging out in the corner of the building where construction was halted, and then turned his head.
Rep. Jeong Hoon, who made eye contact with me, fell to the floor in fear, as if he had seen a ghost.
“Let’s continue the story.”
“Save me…”
“Don’t worry. As I said, I’m trying to do what the congressman wants.”
I said with a smile and he swallowed.
“What on earth do you want? As I said in advance, I am just doing what the Lions Clubs International tells me to do. “If it’s that information, I know it…”
“No. “The things they ask the congressman to do themselves are information to me.”
“What what…?”
“Let’s see this again. It was quite complicated, but ultimately the goal was to eliminate our detection facilities. “That alone gave me an idea of what they wanted.”
“….”
He continued slowly.
“The association is in a pretty desperate situation right now. Plans that have been in preparation for decades have been foiled, and we are following them closely.”
“So…”
“There is only one thing they can do when they are cornered.”
I paused for a moment.
Soon he continued speaking in a very serious voice.
“War.”
“…!”
He looked shocked, as if he hadn’t heard anything like that.
“Anyway, there are probably a few more people besides you who have joined hands with the International Association. If the congressman is caught, they will be given orders. Then again, we have to work hard to find them.”
I looked straight into his eyes and continued speaking.
“If that’s the case, I’m just asking the congressman to continue.”
“So you’re saying you’re going to release me…?”
He narrowed his eyes at those words.
“What are you misunderstanding? Senator… you killed someone, right? “A person who has done nothing wrong and has nothing to do with anything.”
“….”
“Where are you planning to run away so shamelessly?”
I looked him straight in the eyes and threw him my old cell phone.
“We will contact you again later. Until then, please wait quietly.”
With those words behind me, I left the building.
***
Headquarters of the International Hunter Association in Paris, France.
“…I can’t seem to contact you.”
In front of the silent phone, Secretary General Wesley opened his mouth as if he was frustrated.
Then the secretary spoke carefully.
“Could it be that you were caught by Kim Jun-woo?”
“Hmm…”
Seeing as there was no contact yet, it was highly likely that was the case.
If Kim Jun-woo found out, he would no longer be able to maintain a relationship with Jung-hoon.
‘I was a person who was good at one thing…’
It’s a shame.
As I was muttering that, the phone finally rang.
“Secretary General Wesley.”
Secretary General Wesley was pleased to hear the voice he had been waiting for.
“Mr. Jeong! I was just waiting for a call. “How did you get out?”
“no. It seems that it will be difficult to avoid arrest. This incident was widely spread in the media…”
“Then what did I ask you to do…?”
“I think the detection facility matter will proceed without any problems. “My charges are running an illegal hunter organization, and I won’t be able to prove the resort business.”
“I’m glad. ”
Secretary General Wesley smiled.
“Well, don’t worry about arrest. “I can help you out somehow.”
“Thank you.”
“By the way, where is section manager Hwang Dong-hwi? “I couldn’t contact him either.”
“Oh, that’s it…”
Rep. Jeong Hoon trailed off and hesitated for a moment.
“The Lord is dead.”
“…Dead?”
Secretary General Wesley’s eyebrows twitched.
What nonsense is this?
Who on earth could kill him?
“It looks like Kim Jun-woo has done something.”
“Kim Jun-woo…?”
“Yes, yes.”
“Were you there too?”
“That’s right.”
At that moment, Secretary General Wesley’s eyes became sharp.
“So… Kim Jun-woo came looking for you, but he even killed section leader Hwang Dong-hwi and released you?”
“…Yes.”
Secretary General Wesley sighed at that absurd answer.
“Mr. Jeong.”
And then he slowly opened his mouth.
“Are you hiding something from me?”
“…Oh no.”
“If not, I’m glad, but if you’re trying to deceive me…”
Secretary General Wesley continued in a business-like voice.
“You… die. “Not just you, but everyone in your family.”
「….」
I heard the sound of swallowing once.
“Kim Jun-woo came to warn me. Don’t think about running away, but pay for your crime… Seeing as they didn’t catch him on the spot, it looks like the charges haven’t been proven yet
. ”
….」
Secretary General Wesley leaned back.
“All right. “I will first monitor the situation and contact you again.”
“Yes, yes.”
I hung up the phone like that.
Then the secretary waiting next to him asked cautiously.
“What do you think?”
“What…”
Secretary General Wesley answered with a raised eyebrow.
“I think it’s a lie.”
The secretary nodded.
“There is clearly a good reason why Kim Jun-woo came in person. “He’s not the kind of guy you’d go to just to warn you.”
“Did you make a deal with him?”
“I guess so. Well… he told me that he would relocate the detection facility and that I would report to him from now on.”
It’s obvious.
Secretary General Wesley raised his eyebrows.
“Then shall we handle Rep. Jeong Hoon?”
“no. Then Kim Jun-woo will try to investigate another guy again. “It would be better for us to keep it alive and use it.”
He looked through the scattered documents.
It was a document containing the profiles of several people, including Rep. Jeong Hoon.
Secretary General Wesley picked up Rep. Jeong Hoon’s documents and tore them up.
“From now on, please give separate orders to Rep. Jeong Hoon.”
“yes?”
“A directive that may seem like important information, but only costs you time and money.”
Soon the secretary nodded.
***
The fourth day of operation.
– A total of 152 former hunters involved in an illegal hunter organization were booked at 7 am today.
News came out early in the morning announcing the end of the incident.
Since I knew the content anyway, I changed the channel without paying attention.
– Rep. Jeong Hoon, who secretly ran an illegal hunter organization, has been booked again. Rep. Jeong Hoon of the Future Democratic Party was tried a few months ago on charges of bribery with Ha Seong-tae, head of Hanbyul Group, but was acquitted and released…. Beep –
.
– However, police authorities announced that there is still no evidence to support the claim that there was a collusion between Rep. Jeong Hoon and GT Construction. In addition, while the culprit of Representative Cho’s murder case was revealed to be former hunter Choi Jong-hyuk, there is still no question as to whether Rep. Jeong Hoon instigated it….
Each channel was telling a similar but slightly different story.
And I nodded while listening to the last news.
‘As expected…’
I immediately turned off the TV.
Like Chief Ji Seon-woong, people who have already been touched by Rep. Jeong Hoon are spread out here and there.
As long as they are using their strength, they will not be able to tie the resort project to Rep. Jeong Hoon. Of course, you can’t prove that you instigated CEO Cho’s death.
From the beginning, it was a fight we couldn’t win.
So I had no choice but to make a deal with him.
To make him pay for his sins.
“Anyway… How long can Rep. Jeong Hoon deceive the International Association?”
At that time, Director Lee Ah-young, who was watching the news next to me, asked vaguely.
“I’m sure the Secretary General is also very observant, so if he gets caught later, I might end up in even more trouble.”
I burst out laughing at her words.
“You’ve probably already been caught.”
“…?”
“Of course. He probably knew I was looking for him, so it doesn’t make sense to just let him go. “I’m sure they knew you had a deal with me.”
“Then you won’t be giving any more orders to Rep. Jeong Hoon?! “Isn’t it all useless?!”
“no.”
I shook my head.
“We will continue to issue orders. To avoid being discovered that they noticed it. However… it is probably a meaningless command.”
“….”
Director Lee Ah-young looked suspicious.
In the end, the reaction seemed to be that it was of no use.
“Well, if you focus your energy on meaningless orders under the illusion that you are receiving the protection of the International Association… you will ultimately destroy yourself.”
“Now wait a minute. Then, what was the deal with Rep. Jeong Hoon…”
“Yes.”
I nodded and continued speaking.
“Anyway, you have to pay for your sins, right? However, if society cannot punish him, another method must be used.”
“….”
“That person will probably be crawling on the ground after a few months, having squandered all his connections and money.”
Director Lee Ah-young looked at me with a blank expression.
But even for a moment.
“So… is this all over now?”
“No way. There will still be people left here and there receiving orders from the International Association. “We have to find them all and root them out.”
“What year? “Are we really going to keep doing this?”
“Now that our vacation is almost over, how can we do that?”
I continued speaking, putting my hands on the back of my head.
“Well, so I’m thinking of forming a new team to take charge of that work.”
“The subjugation is too much. Where are you going to find the personnel?”
“There is a place I looked at.”
“Where?”
“Well, I’ll tell you the details once permission is given.”
He looked at her and smiled.
Then, as if steam had escaped, she narrowed her eyes and glared at me.
Even though it’s unfortunate, there’s nothing we can do.
Because if I tell you now, it’s obvious that they will be disgusted and oppose it with all their might.
“Anyway, there’s one day left on vacation, so get some rest…”
Knock-.
At that time, someone entered the office with a knock.
It was none other than Min Yujin.
“….”
“….”
Director Lee Ah-young looked at her warily and then smiled.
“I think I have something to say, so I’ll leave your seat. “The two of you, please talk.”
“….”
“Don’t worry about me. really.”
Director Lee Ah-young left the office with a cool smile until the end.
Eventually, only the two of them were left in the office.
“…great job.”
She opened her mouth first.
“Thanks to you, the illegal hunter organization case has been completely concluded. Rep. Jeong Hoon will also be arrested.”
“Isn’t it a pity? “You couldn’t even connect the GT Construction lobbying case with the solicitation for the murder of the state representative.”
“There’s nothing we can do about that.”
She shrugged her shoulders and let out a chuckle.
“I think I’ll get promoted too with this.”
“Good.”
“…thank you.”
I hesitated for a moment at that low voice.
It was because I had an ominous feeling.
And sure enough.
“that… “Last time I asked you if you wanted to try again?”
“….”
Goosebumps began to appear on my body as it felt like my ominous premonition was becoming closer to reality.
I answered, trying hard to hide my nervousness.
“That’s right.”
“I was thinking about it…”
He looked away and trailed off.
I swallowed my saliva.
“I don’t think it will work either.”
She said that with a smile.
At the same time, I let out a sigh of relief.
“I don’t know what happened over the past year, but no matter how much I think about it, I can’t forgive it.”
“Well, that’s enough.”
We looked at each other and smiled.
“But if I need any more help, I’ll contact you. I plan on supporting the operations team starting next quarter, so it would be better if you take good care of me.”
“….”
Was this the purpose?
Whether before or after regression, you are still persistent.
‘It’s an operation team…’
I saw her in person and she was definitely strong.
He may be much better than a mediocre ED-level hunter.
“Anyway, I’ll just leave.”
So I waved my hand and turned my back.
As I looked at that back, the events of the Regen dungeon before the return appeared before my eyes again.
Yes, that guy is strong.
However, this is a place where even those who are tens or hundreds of times stronger than her lose their lives due to a single mistake.
Because the hundreds of hunters who died when the Regen Dungeon appeared were strong enough.
It’s just a place where they didn’t die because they were weak.
A place where even AS ranks die in vain.
But I know her very well.
No matter how much I try to persuade and cajole, I can never break that guy’s stubbornness.
So….
“Min Yujin.”
I opened my mouth to her as she left the office.
“…?”
She blinked and looked back at me.
I opened my mouth with a cold smile.
“You failed.”
