The Dungeon Cleaning Life of a Once Genius Hunter - Chapter 335

336. Side Story – Episode 14

By the time Director Seo Min-cheol and members of the Dowon Sect found Ha Eun-hye’s house, she had already disappeared.

A very messy room.

Director Seo Min-cheol was shocked and searched every corner, but as expected, he could not find Ha Eun-hye.

I tried turning on the computer just in case, but there was nothing left in it.

“Holy shit!!”

bang-!!

Director Seo Min-cheol shouted and kicked an object that was rolling next to him.

‘Damn it…’

Director Seo Min-cheol bit his lip.

As time passed, I was the one who became more anxious, not anyone else.

Dogs can be controlled when held on a leash.

The moment you let go of the leash, the person holding the leash is in danger.

If this situation becomes known to him, he will no longer be safe.

Therefore, the file must be retrieved as quickly as possible so that the chairman does not notice that the leash has been released.

“No matter what happens, find it before the sun rises tomorrow.”

Director Seo Min-cheol said, pointing his finger at Kim Bae-su, leader of the Dowon faction.

“I’ll give it a try, but it will take a little longer if I decide to do it.”

“All you have to do is release the members of your organization! “I wouldn’t have gone far anyway, so start searching around here!”

“Brother, this is not our area. “If we release the kids and get noticed by another organization, we’ll be in trouble.”

“That’s your fucking problem to take care of!! “I’m asking you to please, don’t complain about what I say, but just do what I say, damn it!”

Director Seo Min-cheol ran wild and shouted.

His eyes seemed to have already lost their sense of reason.

“Before this incident gets to that bastard Woo Seok-ho’s ears, we have to make it something that never happened. “Otherwise… I’ll be the first to die.”

His voice was trembling.

An expression consumed by horror and fear.

At that time, I was extremely anxious and writhing around as if I was being chased by a ghost.

Ringing -.

A bell suddenly rang in his pocket.

At the same time, Director Seo Min-cheol’s face hardened.

“….”

Soon his lips began to tremble.

The ringtone continued without any intention of stopping, and Director Seo Min-cheol slowly took out his cell phone from his pocket.

I checked the sender with a feeling of hopelessness.

“Chairman Woo Seok-ho”

The moment those words caught his eye, Director Seo Min-cheol’s heart dropped to the floor.

My vision turned black and at the same time, my mind became completely white.

My legs almost lost their strength and I almost fell over.

However, Seo Min-cheol closed his eyes and tried to catch his breath.

Then he slowly opened his mouth in a trembling voice.

“Hello.”

“Oh, Seo Min-cheol.”

Chairman Woo Seok-ho’s voice was soon heard.

“…What are you doing at this hour?”

Director Seo Min-cheol tried to pretend not to know.

but.

“You accidentally hit me?”

“…!”

At that one word, Director Seo Min-cheol took his breath away.

How already…?

I didn’t do anything that could leak out… but

that was the time when my mind became dizzy with such thoughts.

“Why and how did you know?”

Chairman Seok-ho Woo spoke first.

“ Hey, this dog. “Did I really just leave the guy holding a knife to my throat?” “

….”

Director Seo Min-cheol’s hands were shaking.

Was there surveillance?

Why the fuck didn’t I think of that?

Given Chairman Woo Seok-ho’s personality, there was no way he would just leave the guy holding his leash… It

was only then that Director Seo Min-cheol realized his mistake and closed his eyes.

“Well, let’s talk about the details face to face first. “Come to my office right now,”

Chairman Woo Seok-ho issued an ultimatum.

Director Seo Min-cheol, who realized what that meant, also attempted a final defense.

“There’s no need to make things… big, right? “Give me just a little time and I will take care of everything.”

“There’s no need for that. “I already asked someone I trust.”

“Yes…?”

“He will take care of the rest neatly. “Everyone, including that brat from the control team and that bitch who ran away with the file.”

“That’s right, they are newbies. I can find it. If you give me just a little time….”

“Hey, Seo Min-cheol.”

Chairman Woo Seok-ho’s voice, which was otherwise raspy, became even lower.

“The reason that file could have become your weapon was because you were the only one in possession of it.” “

….”

“But since it left your hands, that weapon will now aim for your neck.”

Soon Chairman Seok-ho Woo said , He continued speaking in a calm tone.

“So jump in front of me right now. “Before I kill you first.”

The call was eventually hung up one-sidedly.

Director Seo Min-cheol dropped his cell phone and stared at the ceiling. ‘

Fuck

…’

***

“Where are you now! Ha Eun-hye! Ha Eun-hye!!”

「….」

‘Damn it…!’

I hurriedly left the headquarters, holding the still unanswered cell phone in my hand.

The voice suddenly cut off after saying a word for help.

However, the call was still connected and thanks to this, I could faintly hear ambient sounds.

The sound of a large number of vehicles coming from not far away.

Since you can hear people, it’s clear that it’s near a busy area.

There are not many cases where people call for help in such places.

If anything goes wrong, you can go to the police station or ask people around you for help.

In other words, the fact that such a place contacted me means that both cases are impossible.

Either trapped somewhere or being chased.

Above all, the voice of a man I vaguely heard a moment ago…

‘Were you being chased…’

My eyebrows narrowed significantly.

If you were caught by that man, it would be really dangerous from now on.

A situation where it would not be strange if something happened.

But I still didn’t understand this situation.

From the moment she said she would look for clues, I knew there would be some pressure if she got caught.

I even thought about being branded a whistleblower and being kicked out to a local area, or in worse cases, resigning from the company… I never thought it would come out this way.

Isn’t that so?

What on earth are you doing just to keep me in check?

‘You bastard Seo Min-cheol….’

After gritting my teeth, I hung up the connected call and called control team leader Pyeon Chang-hyeon.

“Team leader Pyeon. “I’ll send you a number. Can you help me track its location?”

“Yes, yes?”

“It’s urgent. “Please.”

「….」

When I got straight to the point, Team Leader Pyeon seemed very embarrassed and did not answer.

But even for a moment.

“Is this related to the dungeon intervention incident?”

he asked an unexpected question.

“Surely the team leader knew too?”

“I check all dungeon information and store it on the server. “If it was manipulated, there’s no way I wouldn’t know.”

“But why haven’t you said anything until now…?”

Let’s ask in a tone that seems absurd despite the fact that it seems like it’s obvious.

“Isn’t that the same for Hunter Kim Jun-woo?”

The answer came back as if I had been hit hard on the back of the head.

“Isn’t that what work life is all about? Even if you know, you pretend not to know. Even if you don’t know, you pretend to know… No matter how you look at it, it’s something that is happening at the top, so how can I, a mere team leader, get involved in it?” “….

”

Exactly the same thought as me.

I didn’t want to be a bother and I didn’t want to escalate the situation, so even I, the person involved, stayed silent.

So there is even less reason for a third party to step forward.

“I don’t know what’s going on, but I think you should just quietly move on. Just go home and focus on subjugation tomorrow…”

“The new member of the investigation team has become dangerous. “Given the circumstances, there is a possibility that he was kidnapped… or threatened.”

“Yes?”

Yes.

No matter how much you think about it, there is no reason for a third party to step forward.

However, if there is someone who steps into this situation, he or she is probably either stupid or a huge piece of shit.

An idiot who prioritizes doing what he has to do before considering the pros and cons.

“It’s only been 3 months since I joined the company. A guy who isn’t even on the operations team is working with all his might. And do you know why?”

「….」

“Because we were silent.”

To those words, Team Leader Pyeon Chang-hyeon saved his answer.

For a moment, a small moan was heard as if he was thinking about something.

“…I understand.”

He finally spoke.

“We will contact you as soon as we know your location.”

“Thank you.”

“Hunter Kim Jun-woo.”

Then the team leader spoke in a heavy voice.

“7 hours.”

“….”

“As you know, no matter how urgent it is, you must participate in this subjugation.”

I swallowed.

“All right.”

I answered calmly and hung up the phone.

At the same time, a sense of self-destruction welled up from deep inside.

After Regen Dungeon, I conquered every dungeon I could find, regardless of whether it was a low-level dungeon or a stock dungeon.

There was no time to consider performance, team situation, or my physical condition.

He was just focused on killing monsters without any hesitation.

That was revenge for my comrades who lost their lives during the Regen dungeon, and it was punishment for me for failing to protect them.

And it was anger at this reality, where it was taken for granted that countless hunters died while fighting monsters to protect citizens.

A truly stupid and simple calculation that the more monsters I kill, the less likely other hunters will lose their lives.

According to that calculation, the members of the subjugation team excluding me were just there to fill in the numbers, and there was no reason for them to join me in the battle.

I had no doubt that that was my role.

Avoid throwing your life away just because of your role and mission.

Putting the minimum price on the hunter’s life, which is naturally sacrificed.

Just get rid of everything and let at least one less person die.

But…

because of that mediocre goal, the rookie was forced into a desperate situation.

So then, for whom was the goal?

Tiring-.

As I was immersed in that thought that suddenly occurred to me, a text message finally arrived.

The coordinates where Ha Eun-hye’s phone call was last connected were stamped there, and as soon as I checked them, I headed straight there.

It was not far from headquarters.

No, the headquarters building was visible right around the corner.

A dead end alley that was so close.

The first thing I saw when I stepped into the dark place where even the street lights were broken was.

“….”

It was Ha Eun-hye’s cell phone, which was all alone and far away.

I slowly walked over and picked up her cell phone.

At the same time, I began to have a vague picture of what happened here.

And then.

‘Seo Min-cheol, this bastard….’

Kwajik―.

The phone I was holding in my hand was crushed, and unbearable anger enveloped my whole body.
