The Dungeon Cleaning Life of a Once Genius Hunter - Chapter 228

“Hey~.”

Visiting room at a special isolation facility for people with disabilities.

After waiting for a while, a man in handcuffs appeared.

“It’s something I will live to see for a long time. “The most prosperous man in Korea wants to see me.”

“Nice to meet you.”

“Draw it, draw it.”

The man sat facing me and nodded.

At the same time, I quickly glanced at him.

A powerful voice.

Enough energy to walk normally.

A relaxed expression.

Seeing that he looked fine, I opened my mouth with a puzzled expression.

“I think you have some energy. “I heard that the inmates here don’t look human.”

“Was it worth holding on to? “I guess it’s because he’s a strong guy by nature.”

The man laughed out loud and joked.

But after a moment, he continued speaking.

“So what business does our CEO have with a guy like me? “Seeing as how he came to see me in person, I don’t think it’s an unusual occurrence.”

“Mr. Hong Deok-soo… you have been serving five years in prison for assault using your special ability, right?”

“Grundy?”

“Before that, I worked in the Seoul headquarters operations team.”

“….”

“Then he was booked for indiscriminately assaulting four hunters. “The victims suffered serious injuries that lasted 16 weeks and are still suffering from aftereffects.”

I looked into his eyes and recited information one after another.

Then Hong Du-sik narrowed his eyes and glared at me, as if he sensed something strange.

When he showed interest, I smiled and opened my mouth again.

“Well, it’s revenge for my wife, so should I say it was wise not to kill her?”

At that moment, Hong Du-sik’s expression hardened.

“so…? “What do you want to say?”

“Don’t shoot me like that. “I’m not being sarcastic at all.”

I made a small joke towards him who was openly showing hostility.

I haven’t even gotten to the main point yet, but it’s already difficult to do this.

Deoksu Hong.

In the past, he was a hunter belonging to the Seoul headquarters operations team and served as the leader of the operation team 3.

I remember everything because I was still on active duty when I just joined the Seoul headquarters before I returned.

He was a man with good performance and a good reputation among his subordinates… but one day he suddenly resigned and disappeared.

To be exact, it was right after his wife died.

After he left the company, no one knew anything about him.

About a year later, I found out about his current situation through the news.

His whereabouts were suddenly revealed, and he was arrested by the police on charges of indiscriminately assaulting four hunters.

It was a case that attracted public attention because it was the first time a former hunter committed a crime against a current hunter.

But that only lasted a moment.

Hong Du-sik confessed to all his crimes and did not appeal.

The ending was too boring to sustain people’s interest.

So not many people knew the details of the incident.

Of course I knew everything.

Right after Hong Du-sik left the company, he gathered people together and searched for four hunters for a year.

The reason, as I said, was to avenge his dead wife.

This is how the incident began.

At some point, money-obsessed hunters from the operations team began illegally selling remaining dungeons as malicious inventory to freelance hunters.

After collecting the money, you could report to your superiors that the subjugation was completed and receive a double subjugation allowance.

But one day the behavior continued.

A problem arose when the dungeon was sold to an inexperienced freelance hunter.

Subjugation was impossible with the skills of that freelance hunter.

In the end, the freelance hunter requested a refund from those who sold the dungeon, but that was impossible because the dungeon had already been reported to the higher-ups as a subjugated dungeon.

Feeling like I was grasping at straws, I also visited private guilds, but they all refused, saying they could not accept illegally sold dungeons.

Of course, it would have been enough to officially report the appearance of the dungeon… but

the freelance hunter, who was afraid that the illegal sale would be discovered, eventually decided to leave the dungeon alone.

As time passed, a monster escaped from the dungeon and began wandering around the mountains, and a few days later, Hong Deok-su’s wife, who was a forestry official, was attacked by a monster and died.

Only then, when the incident came to light belatedly, did Hong Deok-soo decide to hold them accountable.

However, as a result, the three hunters from the operation team who illegally sold the dungeon were suspended and fined 5 million won, and the freelance hunter who neglected the dungeon was punished with only one year in prison.

1 year.

In response to that ridiculous sentence, Hong Deok-soo eventually decided to punish them himself.

Hong Deok-soo resigned like that and, after a long period of preparation, visited the four hunters one by one and achieved justice according to his standards.

So that I can never live as a hunter again.

In fact, after the incident, all four people resigned from their positions as hunters.

‘No… It’s not that I put it down, it’s that I stopped being able to do it.’

The injuries were so severe that further suppression was impossible.

Anyway, that’s the case.

The reason why I know this is because the person in charge of that case was my ex-girlfriend, Min Yu-jin.

I pondered over old memories and asked him again.

“How many years did you receive it?”

“15 years.”

“Well, it’s not that many people have returned a return note.”

Hong Du-sik let out a chuckle.

“Violence cannot be justified, is that what you want to say?”

“Isn’t that wrong? It’s a pity because it’s a pity… and a crime is a crime. No matter the story, your actions can never be justified. But…”

He lowered his upper body towards him and continued speaking in a low voice.

“What does all that have to do with it? You just did it because you wanted to. “What is there to know if it is justified or false?”

“….”

Hong Du-sik’s eyes soon narrowed.

“You just did what you could. There is no need to give any meaning to it.”

“….”

“Isn’t the reason you didn’t kill them in the first place not because you were afraid of punishment, but because you wanted to make them suffer for the rest of their lives?”

Because it would definitely be more painful to live without being a human being than to just die comfortably.

“Our representative… you did your research.”

“thank you.”

“so? What on earth do you want to say? “Why did you leave that out from earlier?”

“Well, I didn’t come here to talk about this…”

I held out the envelope and got straight to the point.

“What is this?”

“It’s headhunting. “This time, we are planning to create a new team. Please come as the team leader.”

“…Puhahaha!”

He burst into laughter, but I paid no heed and continued talking.

“I plan to let you know if I receive an offer for the job I am in charge of, and the remuneration is….”

“A commutation of the sentence?”

“You have a good feeling.”

“It’s not a subject that appears in dramas and movies. “I didn’t know it would be my turn too.”

He shrugged his shoulders.

“So do you want to do it?”

“….”

I asked and he smiled.

“I’m not interested.”

“….”

“Our CEO said that. I just did it because I wanted to. “Do you think a reduced sentence would be beneficial to me?”

Well…

I nodded.

There is no merit in reducing his sentence at all.

It’s probably the same reason why he doesn’t try to escape even though he’s so lively.

Whether he is in prison or in society, none of this matters to him.

Because he already died when his wife died.

Then, of course, there would be no deal with something like a reduced sentence.

But that’s why it can’t be done without this man.

Skills information power action power.

And a person who already has no regrets about the world.

There are no more perfect conditions for me to be in charge of my team.

“…Then let’s do it like this.”

After thinking for a moment, I opened my mouth again.

I can’t help it.

We have no choice but to use our last resort.

“When everything is finished…”

I glanced at the guards next to me and then whispered the words.

“….”

At the same time, his eyes changed for a moment.

I smiled at the reaction, which was quite different from before.

“If you change your mind at any time, you can tell the director. “Then I’ll be waiting for a good answer.”

After saying that, I stood up.

Hong Du-sik was sitting there staring at the floor until I left the visiting room.

***

A few days passed and it was the day of the convocation.

A gathering place located deep in the mountains.

Director Lee Ah-young and I had just arrived there.

“But… why are you here?”

Director Lee Ah-young asked, out of breath from the rough hike.

She seemed quite puzzled because she also knew the place.

That’s because this was the cabin where President Park In-beom stayed when he disappeared.

“It’s invisible and only we know its location. “Isn’t it just perfect?”

“Did the president of the association give permission?”

“I have to get that now.”

“…Really.”

Soon we took a moment to catch our breath in front of the cabin door.

“By the way, did Mr. Hong Du-sik come?”

“I don’t know. “How can you know the heart of someone who has nothing more to lose?”

“If you don’t come, who will be the team leader?”

“What can you do? “I have to pick roughly.”

“….”

“We’ll talk about the details later, then let’s go in.”

I opened the cabin door.

The moment we stepped inside, we were immediately met with the attention of those waiting for us.

10 hunters I personally selected.

Before saying hello, I looked around at them slowly.

But the face I was waiting for was still not visible.

‘Tsk…’

I can’t help it.

I tried to overcome my regret and opened my mouth in front of them.

“hello. This is Kim Jun-woo, CEO of Karma Corporation. Well, the name ‘association’ may still be more familiar to you.”

“….”

“….”

Instead of answering, they glared at me with sharp eyes.

Anyway, the useless fight over fear that they might be criminals…

“The reason I summoned you today is…”

It was at that time when I tried to ignore their reaction and continued talking again.

“Wow, I already started.”

A voice that I had already given up on came from behind me.

“…You came.”

It was a little late, but I looked at him and smiled.

“I did it because I had nothing to do.”

“That’s a good excuse.”

“….”

Hong Du-sik then opened his mouth with a very serious expression.

“The promise I made back then… I must keep it, right?”

“of course.”

When I confirmed it, he nodded.

“Okay… I think everyone is here, so let’s get started. “The reason you are gathered here today is to form a new team for Karma Corporation.”

“…?”

“what?”

“New team?”

Various reactions.

But I continued speaking regardless.

“Each of you will become a leader and be in charge of each field and region. You are free to form your own team in that field or region, but never have more than 30 direct team members. Of course, it shouldn’t be exposed to the media or caught by local police.”

“Question: What do you do?”

“Information search, follow-up, kidnapping… sometimes assault and threats. Etc.”

“….”

“….”

Everyone looks confused.

Why are they like that?

I paid special attention to selecting their areas of expertise.

“And your general manager, I mean… the team leader of this team is this person here.”

He pointed to Hong Du-sik and introduced him.

“I will give work instructions only to Mr. Hong Du-sik, and after Hong Du-sik distributes them according to their respective roles, I will deliver detailed work details to you.”

Then the eyes of the ten hunters turned to Hong Du-sik.

Hong Du-sik bowed his head with an embarrassed expression.

“Oh, and… there is training for about a month. “I will be in charge of it myself, and full-scale work placement will take place after all training is completed.”

“education?”

“yes. “Then are you really going to release criminals into society without taking any action?”

“…That’s a bit harsh.”

“Let’s be polite, shall we?”

“Ha, manners are frozen to death…”

I burst out laughing at the absurd statement.

What are these people talking about?

“If you’re going to tease me like that, why don’t you follow the law and live by it!”

“….”

“….”

The atmosphere instantly froze.

I didn’t care at all and continued to say what I had to say.

“Anyway, this concludes the orientation. “Do you have any questions?”

“I… I said I could freely form a group, but what are you going to do if I run away forever?”

“After the course, you probably won’t even think about it. Next question.”

“Do you get paid?”

“It’s okay if the sentence is commuted. Are you asking for money for being a criminal? Next question.”

At that time, a man who had been laughing heartily from earlier raised his hand.

“Why should we follow you?”

“….”

“If I kill you right here and run away, there’s no need to get my sentence reduced, right?”

“Are you confident?”

“what…?”

I smiled.

“Good. “It happened to be something that was also included in the curriculum.”

“…?”

“Curriculum…?”

“yes. If you kill me here like he said, you will all be free.”

At that moment, the eyes of the hunters present widened.

Except for Hong Deok-soo, of course.

“Attack the person you are confident in first.”

“…ha ha ha.”

“What now…?”

“ha ha ha! Are you serious?”

I laid the plan out in the open, but these people are still not moving because they are so concerned.

I shook my head with a pitiful expression.

“I’m serious. Whether you attack them all at once or one by one, do whatever you want. However, you will have to attack him with a sincere determination to kill him.”

First training course.

Sequence arrangement.

There is no more effective way to instill a perfect hierarchy in those who are closer to violence than the law.

“Don’t worry too much. I’ll take care of it.”

At that moment, the eyes of the hunters gathered here sparkled.
