The Dungeon Cleaning Life of a Once Genius Hunter - Chapter 301

“…what is it?”

First floor lobby of the International Hunter Association headquarters.

The support team, the cleaning team, and other administrative department staff were all gathered there.

“I gave the order to convene only the operations team… Why are you all gathered here?”

“….”

“….”

Secretary General Wesley asked in a sharp voice, but the employees said nothing.

“Haa…”

But that seemed to be enough of an answer for Secretary General Wesley.

“For some reason, it wasn’t caught on CCTV…”

He sighed deeply and muttered for a moment.

He opened his mouth again to the employees in a somewhat calm voice.

“What were you so dissatisfied with?”

“….”

“Tell me. “Isn’t there a reason why you kept your mouth shut and pretended not to notice even when the WDSO guys infiltrated the center of the headquarters and stole bank items?”

This time, the employees looked at each other carefully and spared their answers, but no one opened their mouths willingly.

And then.

“Discrimination within the organization, budgets that go beyond common sense, wage cuts, etc… there are a lot, if I may say so.”

Dave Hunter, manager of the support team, took a step forward.

At the same time, Secretary General Wesley’s eyes narrowed.

“So… are you punishing me for not treating the operations team on the same level?”

“When you say that, it seems like you are just greedy for rights without any qualifications… but in fact, there is a real reason than that.”

“The real reason?”

When Secretary General Wesley asked again, Dave took a moment to catch his breath.

“We don’t know what we are doing.”

“….”

Recently, while working at an international association, I confessed a question I always had.

“We have now turned our backs on the entire international community. And the operations team and senior executives clearly have something to gain in proportion to the risks they bear. “But ordinary workers like us… we just got a business card called terrorists.”

terrorist.

Secretary General Wesley’s eyebrows twitched greatly at those words.

But even for a moment.

“…is it so.”

Secretary General Wesley nodded and opened his mouth quietly.

“I didn’t even pay attention to whether you guys had such difficulties. As the head of an organization, I can’t help but feel very regretful. “I want to try to solve the problem with you all now, but…”

Finally, his eyes started to sparkle.

“It seems unlikely that bank items that have already fallen into enemy hands will be returned.”

“…yes?”

“…?”

The moment Secretary General Wesley looked at him with a puzzled expression, he gestured toward the troops behind him.

bang-!!

A huge explosion occurred in front of him.

All members of the International Association, including Secretary-General Wesley, looked indifferently at the fire that quickly engulfed the staff.

There was no word or reaction.

As if it had been planned from the beginning.

“Secretary General.”

At that time, a soldier from the operations team approached him.

“I think you should take a look at this.”

A tablet PC was carefully held out.

Russian Minister of Defense Vladimir was there delivering his official statement.

Friction between two organizations in Russia.

The authorities suffered unilateral damage in the meantime.

The bullshit contest disguised as a statement of position soon ended with a request to ban entry into Russia.

“Haha…”

Eventually, Secretary-General Wesley let out a laugh as Minister Vladimir stepped away.

“hahahahahahahaha!!”

And then he started laughing like a person who had lost his mind for a while.

In fact, the words were a request and no different from an order.

“Okay…”

He opened his mouth quietly.

“Are you going to take everything we have?”

Blood appeared in his eyes.

Junwoo Kim.

This is all because of that bastard.

It was the beginning of everything, and it was all something he brought upon himself.

Therefore, what happens from now on is also Kim Jun-woo’s responsibility.

“I heard that we are terrorists…”

Secretary-General Wesley soon opened his mouth to the troops.

“We have to show how terrorists with nothing to lose emerge.”

Empty eyes and voice.

And an expression filled with anger.

A creepy smile leaked through it.

***

Immediately after leaving the Lions Clubs International headquarters and entering the city center.

The moment an explosion occurred with a sudden loud noise in the headquarters building, everyone turned their heads to look at it…

“What…?”

“What happened all of a sudden…”

Flames along with black smoke were seen rising from the first floor of the building.

“Mr. Seo…?”

“Shouldn’t I go see this?!”

Kim Min-ju and Han Yu-bin looked at me and asked at the same time.

Headquarters staff who helped us.

The explosion occurred shortly after we exited.

Everyone will know what that means without having to say it.

Either dead.

Or just before death.

Either way, it’s too much responsibility in return for helping us.

I know that it would be morally wrong to leave them behind and run away, but…

“Let’s keep going.”

“yes yes?”

“What is that…”

“Don’t you know what’s more important!”

When he spoke firmly, the two women immediately clenched their fists as if they were furious.

I know the personalities of these two people better than anyone else.

There is a difference in their methods, but they are not people who would never betray their morals.

But… I still can’t help it.

We are not in a situation where we can choose anything right now.

Not only did we barely escape from the middle of enemy territory, but if this operation fails, it will not simply end in disappointment.

No matter what happens, we must retrieve the bank items.

“There are 5 minutes left until the helicopter arrives. “If we go back now, not only the operation, but even us will be in danger.”

“Ha, but you still helped us…!”

“Kim Min-joo.”

When I called her in a low voice, her face stiffened.

“In a dungeon, one wrong choice can lead to annihilation. You know that.”

“But… this isn’t a dungeon.”

“Yeah no.

I looked at her and continued speaking.

“It’s a place more than a dungeon.”

“….”

“….”

Only then did the two women close their mouths.

Then he turned his back without saying a word, as if he had decided to follow me.

After that, everyone remained silent and continued heading to the confluence point.

Finally, the moment we arrived at the promised point.

Doo doo doo doo-.

The helicopter arrived just in time.

We boarded the helicopter, still silent, and it immediately flew over Paris.

There was heavy silence inside the helicopter.

There was a lot I wanted to say, but everyone seemed to be trying to keep their mouths shut.

And then.

“Yes, Secretary General.”

I received a call from Secretary General Park In-beom.

“What happened?”

“Recovery was successful.”

“What is the damage?”

“We are fine.”

“…us?”

he asked back.

“There were employees at the Lions Clubs International headquarters who helped us, but I think they got caught right away.”

「….」

He remained silent for a moment as if he also understood what that meant.

“…Thank you for your hard work.”

He said one word with a lot of meaning.

“I will send the bank items to headquarters via Mr. Lee Ah-young. The rest will immediately join Russia and proceed with the search for Eden…”

“No, there is no need to do that.”

“Yes…?”

“Russia just announced its official position on the forest fires in the Ural Mountains, and they said the damage was caused by friction between us and the International Association.”

“That’s ridiculous. There is no reason for either organization to do that. “It seems like they are trying to blatantly pass on all responsibility, but we held a press conference right away…!”

“You can’t do that.”

Secretary General Park In-beom cut me off in a stern voice.

“It wasn’t us who were there, it was Noah Guild.”

“…!”

“WDSO’s position is in an awkward position because it hasn’t officially moved. “Do you know what I mean?”

I chewed my lip without answering.

“So… what are we going to do?”

“A request has been made to both WDSO and the International Association to ban access to Russia.”

“Haa…”

He let out a deep sigh.

“Anyway, neither you nor the International Association can set foot in Russia anymore. From the looks of it, Noah Guild has already retreated… So, please return to headquarters for now.” “

… I understand.”

I ended the call with a shaky answer.

I folded my hands for a moment and gathered my thoughts.

Actually, in some ways, it’s not such a bad situation.

The bank item was obtained safely, and neither we nor the International Association could easily retrieve Eden.

Of course, there were some deviations from the plan in the process, but in the end, everything was successful.

You might think it’s a bit easier, but…

‘It shouldn’t be like this…’

I gritted my teeth.

It is not important that Lions Clubs International does not have Eden, but that we can obtain it.

We must have it to keep the International Association in check, but it has no meaning if it falls into the hands of a third party.

Or rather, if it falls into the hands of a third party…

After wrapping my head for a while, I took out my cell phone again.

“…What?”

A short, dry answer came from the other end of the phone.

“I didn’t think you would answer… But you still don’t avoid contacting me.”

It was none other than Minister Vladimir.

“I heard about the official position. “You suddenly made a request to ban access.”

“Yes.”

I answered without hesitation.

It seems like he decided to come out shamelessly.

“It’s unfortunate. “I asked you to trust me.”

“What is the use of saying something like that now? I heard that in the world, if they touch you, they will definitely pay the price… Are you planning on retaliating?”

“No way. I also try to use the calculator and make some moves. To retaliate, you must have something to gain. “In that respect, there is no particular reason to mess with Russia.”

「….」

That also meant that you were not even worth touching.

Minister Vladimir also seemed to understand the meaning and showed signs of discomfort.

But even for a moment.

“Then why did you contact me? Are you trying to rebuke me for breaking faith? “If you’re going to blame me…”

“No. Just the opposite.”

He said in a very serious voice.

“Be careful.”

「…What?」

“The Minister has now touched the international association’s wrongdoing.”

「….」

“That item that is currently in Russia… we know better than anyone else what it is for and how to handle it. “If that item had come into our hands, the Lions Clubs International would have never been able to make a rash move.”

But…

“If it falls into the hands of a third party, things will be different. Doesn’t Russia have no idea what that item is or how to deal with it?”

「….」

“That item will not bring any benefit to Russia. No, on the contrary, it may cause enormous damage.”

He was silently listening to me.

“I can’t even predict what they will do from now on. So…”

I continued speaking with strength.

“Please be careful.”

「….」

He still had no answer.

And then he unilaterally hung up the call without saying a word.

I held on to my cell phone, which was silent, and cast my gaze out the window.

The sky above Paris.

The headquarters of the International Association is located in the middle of it.

Black smoke was still billowing from there.

As I looked at that scene… quite complex emotions arose.
