The Dungeon Cleaning Life of a Once Genius Hunter - Chapter 342

343. Side Story – Episode 21

“How could you…!”

Finally, let’s reveal our faces. Chairman Woo Seok-ho’s voice began to tremble.

The reaction is that this situation is completely incomprehensible.

I opened my mouth in a dry voice.

“Even though Employee Ha Eun-hye is an asshole… at least she’s not stupid enough to die by your hands. Above all, there is no way that someone as high as the chairman would go to the forefront and commit murder. “I already expected that someone else would have taken care of it.”

“What is that…!”

“Even though I was expecting it, there was actually no way to dig into it… but luckily, there was someone who helped me.”

As I said that, I took out the cell phone that Eom Kyung-hoon gave me from my pocket.

The cell phone contained all information, including recording files and text messages, including Chairman Woo Seok-ho’s call list.

Of course, the content of the phone call I had with Yang Min-ho a while ago.

“Well, wouldn’t this be enough evidence?”

I slowly walked towards him.

Accordingly, Chairman Woo Seok-ho continued to backtrack.

chin-.

“…!”

But it didn’t take long before we reached a dead end.

“You… if you touch me here, your life as a hunter will be over. “You’re saying it’s okay to waste your life because of one new recruit?!”

“Of course not.”

I shook my head as Chairman Woo Seok-ho, who was cornered, struggled to raise his voice.

“I’m still young, aren’t I? “I have a lot of things to do in the future, and more than anything, I have a goal.”

“Then you can’t even touch me with a finger…!”

That moment.

Wow!!

Chairman Woo Seok-ho’s jaw turned.

Chairman Woo Seok-ho, who seemed to have lost his mind for a moment, slumped down on the spot.

With that one blow, blood continued to pour out of his mouth.

But he just looked up at me with an expression of half fear and half anger, as if he didn’t have time to feel the pain.

“Chairman Woo Seok-ho. “Do you think you can threaten me now?”

I lowered my posture and took out my cell phone.

And then a voice comes out from there.

“How many people have you killed while cleaning up after those dirty old people? Rep. Jeong Hoon, Commissioner Park Hyun-joon, Commissioner Kang Hak-seon, I know more than ten people!” “

…!”

That was definitely his own voice.

“If you think you can do anything with just that, you are very mistaken…!”

“I guess so. “There are many people behind the chairman who are helping.”

That was also what I expected, so I calmly nodded.

But even for a moment.

“But… what about the contractor that the chairman entrusted with the job?”

“What what…?”

Chairman Seok-ho Woo’s eyes changed for a moment.

“I don’t know who the businessman is, but if I solve this, not only myself but also my customers will be exposed… Do you think you’ll just sit there and watch?”

“What is that…”

“More than anything, the people you mentioned are all big names making a living in this world. What about them? “I don’t think it would be a problem to ask just one committee member if he wanted to hide his name.”

I said with a small smile.

It didn’t take long for Chairman Woo Seok-ho to realize what that meant.

I don’t know who he is, but he is a contractor who works in the shadows against bigwigs.

If that person’s name and his clients are leaked, the first thing to do is…

“Now wait a minute…!”

This is the human who spoke of them.

“How about solving it through dialogue?” You said you had a certain goal, right? Just talk to me! Operations team leader? Or the general manager? “I can do anything you want!”

“Chairman Woo Seok-ho.”

Chairman Woo Seok-ho’s voice became increasingly desperate.

But I grabbed his right leg with a calm expression.

Pop-.

“Kwaaaaah!!!”

With a dull look on his face, he broke his leg.

Ear-piercing screams echoing at the same time.

I opened my mouth expressionlessly.

“Do you know what Employee Ha Eun-hye said to me when she was my supervisor?”

Instead of answering, Chairman Woo Seok-ho let out a pain-filled groan.

I continued speaking without heeding anything.

“Try to trust your colleagues.”

At the same time.

Pop-.

“Ugh!!!!”

Chairman Woo Seok-ho’s other leg was also broken.

“The irony is that the person who told me to trust my colleagues died without receiving help from anyone until the end.”

“Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk…!”

Chairman Woo Seok-ho was already out of his mind.

All they can do is let out unintelligible moans, engulfed in pain.

“But now, how can I trust you, Chairman?”

I said that and smiled slightly.

The cell phone on which the chairman’s voice was recorded was placed on the wall of the construction site.

“Then I’ll just go first. “Goodbye to you too, Chairman.”

I turned my back and left the construction site.

우석호 위원장은 부러진 두 다리를 질질 끌며 나를 향해 필사적으로 팔을 뻗었지만….

“야 이 개새끼야!!”

He couldn’t catch me in the end.

***

“Fuck, fuck…!”

Chairman Woo Seok-ho continued to struggle even after Kim Jun-woo disappeared.

To get out of this place or to ask for help.

Or at least I tried to move my body to deal with the cell phone that was left on the fence, but…

“Fuck you!!”

Neither of them could be resolved with two shattered legs.

“The fuck is there no one?! There’s someone here!! “I need someone to help me, damn it!!”

An empty construction site.

Chairman Woo Seok-ho screamed at the top of his lungs, but all that came back was an echo.

Nevertheless, Chairman Woo Seok-ho continued to struggle.

Please, anyone, please help me.

Please save me.

I bet everything on that one glimmer of hope.

“I didn’t hear from you so I came and checked…”

“…!”

However, the person who showed up in the end was the most disappointing result for Chairman Seok-ho Woo.

“Why are you doing this here?”

“Hey… I’ll give you any amount of money! Please forgive me just this once!!”

“What is it? “What did you suddenly say…”

Yang Minho frowned as if he couldn’t understand what he was saying.

But even for a moment.

The cell phone placed on the fence caught his eye.

“Now wait…!”

Chairman Woo Seok-ho urgently stopped him, but Yang Min-ho paid no heed and checked his cell phone.

“….”

Soon, his eyebrows narrowed significantly.

“Ha ha ha….”

And then a laugh escapes.

With just that short recording file, Yang Minho was able to understand the entire situation.

An audio recording mentioning your name and the real names of your clients.

And a man imitating himself in that voice.

It’s definitely true.

This is Kim Jun-woo.

“I never thought you would pass this on to me…”

This was at the level of admiration.

If you don’t want this to spread, it’s up to you to finish it.

That was a message Kim Jun-woo was sending to himself.

I really didn’t even think about it.

Yang Min-ho muttered for a moment.

Kwasik—!

I broke the cell phone and looked down at Chairman Woo Seok-ho.

“I must have clearly mentioned confidentiality when signing the contract. “If you expose everything like this… I have no choice but to kill the chairman.”

“I can solve everything! I’ll just cover myself up and turn myself in! Isn’t that okay then? Your story… That’s right! “I’ll tell you it’s a lie!”

“Haa…”

Yang Minho sighed softly at that pathetic thought.

“Chairman Woo Seok-ho, do you still not know?”

“What do you mean?”

“That guy didn’t move to bring the chairman to court in the first place.”

He looked at Chairman Woo Seok-ho quietly and continued speaking.

“I just had no intention of killing the chairman from the beginning.”

“…!”

And without even a drop of blood on my hands.

“I feel bad because I feel like that bastard is doing whatever he wants… If this happens, I have no choice.”

“Please, Boo. “There’s no guarantee that he’ll spread it!”

“Chairman.”

The moment when Yang Min-ho’s sad blue eyes turned towards him.

“There are no what ifs in my work.”

***

“Shocking news.”

Operation Team 1 office.

As soon as I got to work in the morning, I could hear the same news coming from all over the place.

“Around 2:19 this morning. “Woo Seok-ho, Chairman of the Operation Fact-Finding Committee, was found hanging at a construction site in Jongno 3-ga.”

Everyone in the office was concentrating on the news, unable to take their eyes off their cell phones, and I took advantage of the opportunity to sit down without a care in the world. .

“Although the investigation is still in progress, the police authorities have secured clues that Chairman Woo is the prime suspect who murdered Mr. Ha, a member of the previous investigation team, based on the testimony of Team Leader Soo-yong Lee and the statement of Director Seo Min-cheol.” “Meanwhile, in the suicide note found in Chairman Woo’s coat

, In addition, the phrases ‘feel guilty’ and ‘apologize in death’ are written, which adds even more weight to the suspicion that he is the instigator of this incident.

” It was revealed that the entire incident was blamed on Hunter Hagi-sik in order to protect team leader Woo Jung-ho, who was the real culprit of the manslaughter incident that occurred

in “They said there was a high probability that Chairman Woo would have caught him and killed him…”

I quietly closed my eyes in my seat and listened to the news that leaked out.

And soon.

“What the fuck happened….”

“I’m crazy.”

“I feel sorry for Eun-hye, so what should I do?…”

Murmurs began to be heard from all over the office.

“No, but Kim Jun-woo didn’t know about this?”

“Is it okay to not know? “I was under surveillance, so I stayed with Eunhye for a week.”

“Then shouldn’t you have helped me?”

“I know yeah.”

“If you knew but pretended not to notice… you really are a piece of trash, right?”

“You didn’t know? It was originally trash. “That bastard.”

“No matter what, I never thought it would be like this…”

Soon, countless eyes turned towards me.

It seemed like he had no intention of lowering his voice or paying attention anymore.

But I didn’t bother to react.

I just pretended not to hear and focused on the documents in front of me.

“That assistant team leader….”

At that time, Minju Kim, who was sitting across from me, opened his mouth insinuatingly towards me.

“Is there a reason you were late for the subjugation that day?…”

“I overslept.”

“…yes?”

“I overslept.”

I answered like that without even looking at her.

But Kim Min-ju still didn’t seem to understand.

“Then you didn’t know that Eunhye was in danger…?”

“I knew.”

“yes? Then why…!”

“Then should I have given up on subjugating the red level because of that one person? “What do I know whether that newbie is dangerous or not?”

I ended up glaring at her and shooting her.

Kim Min-ju’s expression was truly a sight to behold.

It seemed like she had a lot to say, but she never opened her mouth.

I also didn’t say anything more.

After that, I kept hearing my name in the office.

But I ignored them all with a slight sigh.

The incident ended like this.

Although it was revealed that Team Leader Lee Soo-yong had nothing to do with this incident, he was dismissed after being found guilty of manipulating dungeon files.

In contrast, Director Seo Min-cheol, who was directly related to the incident, was dismissed and transferred to the prosecution.

Although his crime is not light, there is a high possibility that it will be considered an extenuating circumstance as the fact that he turned himself in, including crucial evidence, was acknowledged.

And Chairman Woo Seok-ho followed in the footsteps of employee Ha Eun-hye.

With the whole incident turned upside down.

No one was harmed or disadvantaged for touching him like he threatened.

No…

I would have seen it if it had actually benefited me.

“They’re not working, they’re all just looking at their phones and falling asleep.”

At that time, an old man came into the office.

At the same time, all team members stopped moving.

“President of the Tongue Association…?”

“Oh, hello!”

“Hello, President of the Association!”

I jumped up from my seat and bowed towards him.

President of the Korea Ability Dimension Management Association.

Association President Park In-beom.

He came directly to the operation team.

“I know that something unpleasant happened. “It’s all my fault for not managing it properly.”

Association President Park In-beom soon spoke in a heavy voice.

“Regarding this incident, the Board of Directors, including myself, feel a deep sense of responsibility and will prepare measures to prevent something like this from happening again.”

“….”

“….”

The atmosphere suddenly became heavier.

But that didn’t last long either.

“But… that’s it, you guys have to do your job.”

Secretary General Park In-beom said that and began to approach me.

And then.

“Vice Team Leader Kim Jun-woo.”

“…yes.”

“As of today, you are the new team leader of Operation Team 1.”

I spit out those words.

At the same time.

“…!!”

“What is that…!”

“Kim Jun-woo is the team leader…?”

The stunned voices of team members were heard.

Secretary General Park In-beom took a moment to look around.

“Isn’t it desirable? “Well, if you don’t want to do it, of course you can refuse.”

“….” He

immediately made eye contact with me and asked.

I’ll spare you the answer for a moment.

“…I will try my best.”

The association president’s proposal was accepted.

“good! “Well, now that you’re the team leader, please say something to your team members.”

Soon, Association President Park In-beom pushed my back and I took a step forward and looked at my team members.

Then I stood still for a moment to gather my thoughts.

“…I don’t expect anything from you guys.”

Finally, he opened his mouth like that.

In fact, I had no interest in rank from the beginning.

I didn’t really want the title of genius hunter, and I never thought it had much meaning.

Even if you weren’t a team leader or a genius hunter, subjugation was possible.

“I understand that they are an elite team and want to try something, but… just quit. In my eyes, they are all just the same idiots.”

But now my thoughts have changed.

Until the day before she died, employee Ha Eun-hye told me to trust my colleagues.

And this incident made me realize it again.

There are no colleagues here.

Soo-yong Lee and Min-cheol Seo are the same, and so am I.

If something like that had existed in the first place, Ha Eun-hye wouldn’t have died.

High position and strong power.

Those who normally had no interest in it killed one new recruit.

Not in a dungeon, but in the middle of the city.

“So, don’t think ahead and just do what you’re told. “As long as you do that, I won’t care what you do.”

In the meantime, I was too lazy.

The extremely complacent idea that if you don’t want someone to die, you only need to worry about subjugation.

However, what actually kills people is not monsters or dungeons… it is people.

Therefore, the goal can no longer be achieved through subjugation alone.

But it is possible if only I can sit there.

That’s why I have to sit at the highest place.

A place where no one, be it the president of the association or the secretary-general, can dare criticize my judgment.

“So, please…”

Until then, you are just tools.

I will stop at nothing until I reach the top, and no matter how elite you are, I am ready to throw you away at any time.

But don’t be too upset.

“Don’t block my path.”

At least it will keep you from dying.

Paris, France.

Perfect Corporation, an organization affiliated with the International Hunter Association.

Commonly known as PB Corporation.

“The youngest operations team leader?”

There was news that would interest everyone.

“Well, it’s okay if the association uploads it on its own. “What association does this news come from?”

When balance adjustment team leader Mark asked, Team Leader Kane of the subjugation rights recovery team answered.

“Korean Association Seoul Headquarters.”

“If it were the Korean Association of Sseu-eup, they wouldn’t have appointed a blood lump as team leader without thinking.”

“I agree. So, I looked into the hunter information… but it’s a bit disturbing.”

“Are you saying it’s annoying?”

Team leader Mark looked puzzled.

Then, this time, Chloe Bank, the item management team leader, spoke on behalf of Team Leader Kane.

“The name is Kim Jun-woo. He is currently an A-rank hunter and his unique skill is ‘Demon King.’ “According to the information, there is nothing special, but the potential status is close to SS rank.”

“what…?”

“At this level, aside from awakening, I am the youngest S rank…”

Team leader Chloe continued as she put down the documents.

“No, you may be the first in the world to achieve SSS rank.”

“Hmm…”

Upon hearing her report, the two team leaders stroked their chins as if lost in thought.

But even for a moment.

“What do you think, CEO?”

With Team Leader Mark’s question, everyone’s attention immediately focused on the middle-aged woman sitting at the head of the table.

“well. Just because they have an SSS rank does not guarantee that they are a threat to us, but… there is no harm in being careful.”

Emma Lucia.

The CEO of PB Corporation smiled.

“From now on, classify Team Leader Kim Jun-woo of the Seoul Headquarters as a level 1 risk category and closely monitor his every move from now on.”

Eventually, the instructions came.
