The Dungeon Cleaning Life of a Once Genius Hunter - Chapter 346

347. Side Story After Episode 4
An alley in Heukseok-dong.
Plop plop!
Puk puk puk!!
In a deserted place, a man was being beaten by masked assailants.
The identity of the assailants is none other than subordinates of the Black Light faction, an organization led by Choi Jang-seok.
And the person being beaten was a young cleaner from Cleaning Team 5.
“Stop that!”
“stop! “Stop!!”
“Why the fuck are you doing this to us?!”
Other team members also desperately rushed to stop the assailants, but they paid no heed and continued to commit violence.
After the kicking was repeated several more times, people began to gradually flock to the alley due to the noise.
“Let’s fall.”
“yes.”
Only then did the assailants stop beating and turn their backs.
But just as I was trying to pass the cleaning team and exit the alley.
“Where?”
Someone blocked their path.
“what?”
“Move. “Unless you want to be left behind.”
The assailants made threats and threatened him, but he did not move.
“Where do you go after turning someone into a blood clot?”
I just took a step forward and said those words quietly.
His appearance came into the eyes of the assailants belatedly.
They all froze in place.
A heavy voice falls on the floor.
Eyes that feel alive.
An overwhelming atmosphere, like that of a wild beast.
It’s definitely true.
What is blocking them now is….
“It’s finally come out.”
The man my eldest brother had been looking for so long.
Head of WDSO.
This is Kim Jun-woo.
‘Damn it…’
Lee Hyuk-tae’s fists were shaking slightly as he faced him.
In reality, the feeling of intimidation was no joke.
But isn’t this what was done in the first place?
There is no need to be scared as we have a plan ready for when we meet face to face.
“Go first.”
“yes…?”
“Shouldn’t you contact Jang Seok? “I’ll hold on to that guy somehow, so go quickly.”
okay.
All you have to do is hold on until your brother comes.
The last time I contacted you was around here, so I only need to hold on for 10 minutes… no, 5 minutes.
When I heard it, Kim Jun-woo also said that he was a talented person.
Of course, I don’t think that I, an ordinary person, can beat the author.
But… Kim Jun-woo also will not use force against ordinary people.
Of course, someone as high as the Secretary-General can’t kill us.
No, let alone killing him, it is dangerous to even injure ordinary people due to his position.
The difference in power is overwhelming, but if he can’t overpower us, we can at least hold him back.
Lee Hyuk-tae winked at his subordinates.
It will create a gap, so take the opportunity to escape.
The subordinates understood the meaning and nodded slightly.
“Haaap!!”
Lee Hyuk-tae moved first and stretched out his fist towards Kim Jun-woo.
Of course, this level can be easily avoided.
They’ll probably grab your arm and try to subdue you. Then, if you stick to it and hold on as much as you can, then… you’ll
fall.
“uh…?”
Something was strange.
Kim Jun-woo clearly had to be subdued to prevent himself from getting hurt.
If it becomes known that the Secretary General used force against ordinary people, he will also be in trouble.
But….
“Kkeakkeuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu be)!”
Why is his arm bent in the opposite direction?
“Kwaaaaaaah!!!”
An ear-piercing scream rang out in the alley.
The men’s legs who were trying to escape through the alley also froze at the sight of those terrible screams.
Lee Hyuk-tae was unable to think of anything due to pain and embarrassment.
An expression that says he can’t understand what’s just happened.
“why? What did you think an ordinary person couldn’t do? Still, isn’t that the position of Secretary General?”
Kim Jun-woo opened his mouth as if responding to the expression.
He then looked down at Lee Hyuk-tae, who was sitting on the floor, and continued speaking.
“If I had thought about all that, I wouldn’t have come this far.”
“Ugh….”
Cold tone and gaze.
Soon Kim Jun-woo turned his eyes to the subordinates next to him.
“I guess I lost my senses after being quiet for a year… If I wanted to keep my limbs intact, I shouldn’t have touched this place.”
He said those words with an emotionless face.
The members of the Black Light Sect made eye contact with him and made no sound.
“Don’t even think about walking out of here today.”
They had to watch with their eyes open as the monster tried to eat them.
***
Emergency center under WDSO Seoul Support Headquarters.
“I’m here?”
As soon as I entered there, Lee Ah-young, who had arrived first, greeted me.
For some reason, she did not enter the hospital room and was waiting outside with a very distressed expression.
“What happened to the new recruit? “What did the doctor say?”
“I got beaten up really bad… but other than my broken wrist, everything is fine. “There is also consciousness.”
I took a deep breath.
“What about the other teams?”
“First, I issued a security order for the operation team and sent everyone home. “The remnants of Team 5 were captured.”
“You haven’t handed it over to the police yet, right?”
I nodded.
“First, go and talk to Mr. Garam.”
“…Why aren’t you going in?”
When I asked, she lowered her head.
And then.
“…This incident.”
I opened my mouth in a quiet voice.
“I already knew… but I postponed solving it because it was just a kid’s joke. “I thought there were more important things to do than that.”
“It’s been like that until now. It’s natural to be pushed down the list of priorities…”
“No, actually…”
She raised her head and looked straight at me and continued.
“It was annoying.”
“….”
“When I was in the support team, what I hated and disliked the most was the higher-ups who wouldn’t listen no matter how much I said. But… I’m no different from those bastards now.”
Lee Ah-young smiled.
It was a cynicism stained with skepticism and self-destruction.
“How can I look at those people? “He’s an unqualified branch leader.”
“….”
A heavy silence fell.
I could understand how she felt.
But I couldn’t comfort her now.
“…I’ll go in and come back.”
Because there was something else that needed to be resolved.
So I left Ahyoung Lee behind and entered the hospital room.
“Oh, Junwoo.”
“…Are you here?”
Manager Park Geun-tae and Moon So-yeon found me and started talking to me.
I nodded lightly and approached the bed, and Ogaram tried to get up.
“Please lie down.”
“…Ah yes.”
When I laid him down again, the first thing I saw was his swollen face.
“…What happened?”
Oh Haram hesitated for a moment, but then he started talking about what happened.
“It must have been about five minutes after work. “As I was waiting for the bus at the bus stop, men wearing masks approached me and asked if I was part of the cleaning team.”
“So?”
“When I asked what was going on, I suddenly…”
He trailed off with a complicated expression.
“…All right.”
But that was already enough, so I nodded.
And then look at your teammates again.
“Did you report it to the police?”
“The criminal… can we catch him?”
Han Sang-hyuk and Moon So-yeon asked as if they had been waiting.
I shook my head firmly.
“I won’t report it.”
“What what…?”
“Then the culprit is…”
The moment they said that, their faces hardened as their eyes met mine.
“I plan to catch it myself.”
“….”
“….”
The team members said nothing more.
I turned my back and that was the moment.
“Why on earth are you doing this to the cleaning team?”
Manager Park Geun-tae, who had been looking at Oh Garam with a serious expression, opened his mouth.
“I just don’t know why they’re doing this to us.”
“….”
I turned my back and waited for a moment to answer.
“I plan to find out about that from now on.”
With those words, I left the hospital room.
Then he immediately spoke to Lee Ah-young, who was waiting outside.
“Please refrain from joining the board of directors for this matter.”
“…all right.”
“And…”
Soon, my eyes tightened.
“Convene the headquarters leaders.”
I left the hospital with my fists clenched.
***
Damn!
“Whoa, whoa…!”
“Queuuuuuu…!”
A temporary control room used during the Incheon Port underwater dungeon operation five years ago.
At that place, now abandoned as an empty container, I encountered terrorists again.
They came to their senses as soon as I sprayed them with water, and then they looked at me with very frightened faces.
A total of 4 people.
The guy who punched me seems to be a leader in action. The rest are just trash.
“Let’s go as short as possible.”
I opened my mouth with a sigh.
“Just tell us your affiliation and purpose.”
“….”
“….”
As expected, there was no answer.
It makes me turn.
“Just looking at it, it doesn’t seem like you are the type of person who works hard and earns money. Where is your family? Dongseokpa? White coat faction? Ah… I got rid of that place.”
“….”
I looked straight into the action leader’s eyes, but he still didn’t open his mouth.
I took a deep breath, glanced at the subordinates next to me, and continued speaking.
“Well, if you can’t speak in front of your younger siblings because of cotton, you can clean up the kids over there.”
“…!”
Only then did the man react.
He seemed to understand what it meant right away.
“This bastard…! “Are you threatening us now?!”
“older brother! We’re fine!”
“Don’t talk! “Would a person called the Secretary-General even kill an ordinary person!”
Subordinates shouting in excited voices.
Of course, I just ignored that reaction and waited for a while for the action leader to make his choice.
OK.
“You don’t have to go that far.”
He finally opened his mouth.
“The Black Light Sect. “We are members of the Black Light Sect.”
“Brother tongue!”
“You can’t say that…!”
“shut up. “It’s all because of Big Brother’s orders.”
He shouted at his men.
I looked at him and asked.
“If you are the eldest brother, are you saying that you, the leader, ordered all the terrorist acts against the cleaning team so far?”
“…okay.”
“why?”
“To meet there.”
For a moment my eyebrows twitched.
“He said that if it’s the cleaning team’s job, he’s a guy who will attack at any cost, so if you mess with the cleaning team, he’ll definitely show up. Well… in the end, my brother was right.”
“….”
I took a breath, looking at him who suddenly opened his mouth obediently.
“He said there was nothing to keep secret if he got caught by them. Only then will I be able to meet you.”
“What is the reason?”
“…what?”
There was more information than expected, but I didn’t get any important answers, so I asked again.
“The reason you want to meet me. Well, if it had been official in the first place, it would have been enough to request a meeting… “Seeing things like this, it doesn’t seem very normal.”
“That’s…”
The man trailed off for a moment.
“You will find out when you meet your brother.”
“…under.”
I burst out laughing at that absurd answer.
Then the man spoke with a quite solemn look on his face.
“It doesn’t matter if you curse at us. Anyway, my thoughts will change when I meet you. 형님도 이럴 수밖에 없는 사정이….”
“야 이 개새끼야.”
Those words touched the reason I was barely able to maintain.
“Is it okay for you to go around screwing over people who have nothing to do with you just to meet me?”
“….”
“Don’t act like you have all the problems in the world on your shoulders. Anyway, you guys are gangsters… This is your situation and I don’t care at all, so go tell your brother.”
I lowered my posture, approached the man, and spoke.
“From now on, I will have to hide without a single hair of my head being seen. “From now on, I plan to collect compensation for messing with my employees.”
“….”
After leaving those words, he immediately turned his back.
And then.
“Oh, I see.”
Something I had forgotten for a while came to mind.
“I told you guys not to think about walking out of here, right?”
“…!”
The man’s eyes widened at that one word.
“Now wait a minute! You are the Secretary General! “I don’t know what will happen if you touch an ordinary person…!”
“It’s ridiculous to hear this.”
As those words kept getting on my nerves, I turned to look at him.
“You knew what would happen if the Secretary General touched an ordinary person, but didn’t you know what would happen if he touched me?”
“…?!”
“And don’t worry about me.”
I turned my back again and opened the container door.
As soon as I left the container, a silhouette came in at the same time.
“Because I’m not going to do it myself.”
Team Leader of CleanUP, an unofficial mission follow-up organization under WDSO.
At the same time, WDSO’s Planning Director.
“Please don’t kill me.”
“yes.”
It was Director Yubin Han.
thud-!
Eventually, the container door closed tightly and I came out and immediately took out my cell phone.
“Oh, it’s me.”
I contacted Yujin Min.
“We caught the kids who messed with us.”
“What…?”
“I think it’s called the Black Light Wave. Have you heard of it?”
“No… this is my first time hearing it.”
“Just do some research. Don’t tell the higher-ups.”
“Okay.”
Just when I was about to get the point across and hang up the phone.
“So,”
she started again.
“What are you going to do now?”
“…What are you going to do?”
I raised my head towards the front.
“I need to clean it.”
As I said that, I looked at the woman in front of me.
Chief of Operations at WDSO Headquarters.
Currently ranked 1st in Korea and 2nd in the world.
The world’s first SS rank swordsman.
“Are you ready?”
“Just give me instructions.”
It was Kim Min-ju.
