Declaration of war?
A private guild against an association?
Did you take some medication as a group?
No, putting that aside…
‘Why at this kind of timing…’ Is
it so difficult for nothing to happen for just one month?
I buried my bitter heart inside.
Of course, Team Leader Pyeon seemed to be equally upset about the current situation.
“We would like to avoid friction with the guild, but… this has clearly crossed the line.”
Instead of answering, I sighed once more.
Team leader Pyun continued speaking in a strong voice.
“This is nothing short of a challenge to the association. “They are making deliberate moves to take advantage of the internal chaos caused by the rapid reorganization!”
“….”
“In times like these, we must come out stronger. First, I will mobilize the entire operation team. “We will resolve this through dialogue if possible, but I think we may also have to consider armed conflict in some cases.”
armed conflict.
My eyebrows twitched at those words.
“And we plan to take legal action against the interceptions that have occurred so far. First, I will report it to the president of the association…”
“Oh no! “Now wait a minute.”
My voice grew louder without me realizing it.
This guy is trying to make it big!
“ha ha ha. Is there any need to go that far? “The president of the association must be very busy.”
“I can’t not tell you that, right? The legal team has already begun collecting evidence. If this continues, the damage will exceed tens of billions of dollars in the future.”
My hands were shaking.
Who knows that the damage will increase?
However, if the legal team gets involved just for a few pennies, the situation becomes too big.
Moreover, if it reaches the ears of the president of the association… resigning on time will be ignored.
‘I’ll never see that again!’
I have to end it somehow on my own terms.
After gathering my thoughts, I quietly opened my mouth.
“I will solve it for now, so please tell the legal team not to move. “Don’t even report it to the president of the association.”
“You’re solving it. how…?”
“Wouldn’t something work out if we resolved it through dialogue?”
Team leader Pyeon looked very frustrated.
But I didn’t say anything more than that.
“…All right. “If you look at the head of the department talking like that, you must have something in mind.”
“Haha thank you.”
“We will put it on hold for now, but as you know, we cannot afford to take any more losses.”
“I know.”
It was a hasty and rough answer, but Team Leader Pyeon somehow looked relieved.
As Team Leader Pyeon left the office, he took out his cell phone and called the Operation Team 6 leader.
“Where are you now, Han Yu-bin?”
“I just finished working on the Jamsil side. “I heard that interception is happening?”
“Yes, I just heard. Even so, that’s why I contacted you.”
“You’re not asking me to take care of it, are you?”
“Not right now… I don’t know, so please wait.”
“Wait?”
“Armed conflict… I don’t know if we should consider it.”
“…Are you serious?”
“Yes.”
“What are you going to do if you make a mistake and a war breaks out?”
“That’s why I’m asking Yubin Han. “Isn’t that what informal work is best for?”
A laugh came from beyond the cell phone.
“Okay.”
“I’m just saying this just in case you don’t know, so please pretend you didn’t see Intercept until I say anything else.”
I checked again and hung up.
But I still couldn’t shake off the eerie feeling.
Even if something is strange, isn’t it still strange?
I also understand that the guild has feelings built up around the association. I can even understand why they ignore me, as I used to be a cleaner.
However, does it really make sense to carry out a large-scale interception against the association?
What benefit is there for the guild by messing with the association?
No matter how much I think about it, something sucks.
It smells beyond bad.
As soon as I thought about it, my head started pounding again.
‘What is this in my later years…’
My teeth chattered.
It’s a little while to be alone like that.
I took my coat and left the office.
Nothing will be solved by staying still.
First, we needed to find out why the guilds were doing this.
***
Near Sillim-dong.
In front of a navy grade building dungeon.
The 39th ranked guild in Korea, ‘Chilseong Guild’, had just finished intercepting and was coming out.
The most important thing in Intercept is quick subjugation.
If you were a B-level or higher hunter, four or five Navy-level hunters could kill you in 30 minutes, but due to the circumstances of a private guild, there was no way you would have that much power.
Because of this, the entire guild had to participate in the subjugation and somehow push back.
Of course, the more people there are, the easier it is to be noticed, so once the interception was over, they had to disperse and hide themselves right away…. Just as they were about to disperse,
the cell phone of Son Jong-hyun, the head of the Chilseong Guild, rang.
“Yes, Hunter Yang Minho.”
A low bass sound was heard from the other side of the phone.
“Has there been no response from the association yet?”
“Yes. “There hasn’t been any significant movement yet…”
“That’s strange. “They’re not the kind of people who would sit still even if their dungeon was taken away right in front of their eyes.”
Hmm, a light breath.
“I think I overestimated the newly appointed director more than I thought. “I didn’t know he was this soft.”
Yang Minho let out a chuckle.
“That Hunter Yang Min-ho….”
Then Guild Leader Son Jong-hyun opened his mouth in a trembling voice.
“Please tell me.”
“Is it really okay for me to be like this?”
“What is it?”
“Isn’t the damage too great? Even if we receive compensation for damages… we can’t afford it. “No matter how weakened it is, an association is still an association.”
“Ha ha ha ha.”
A sharp laugh.
“That means you are stuck with the association for your whole life.”
A dagger struck out of nowhere.
“I guess you’ve already forgotten how you sacrificed all your pride and stooped to get the dungeon despite being ignored by the association.” “Not really, but no matter what,
this is a reward….”
“A reward? When was the association established? “To the Association, you were just good people to exploit?”
“….”
“No matter how much the Association reformed, do you think it would give up its hands to you? Not at all. “The association is not even remotely interested in the guild.”
“Yes, I guess so…”
“Above all, the newly appointed general manager is a former janitor who knows nothing. It wasn’t even long after he was appointed. It is said that this is the moment when the association is at its weakest. “If interception happens once or twice, we will take legal action or whatever, but if all the guilds stand up like this, the inexperienced director will try to negotiate somehow.”
Yang Min-ho took a breath and continued speaking again.
“At that time, you will be promised a stock dungeon. I told you this once before. “You have to take care of your own food bowl, no one else will take care of it for you.”
Guild leader Son Jong-hyun could not say anything.
Because I also completely agreed with what he said.
“If you miss this opportunity, you will live the rest of your life clinging to the association like bugs. “Guild leader Son Jong-hyun, do you want to live like that?”
“No.”
“Then please continue. “It’s a blow to the vicious association.”
“Yes, yes!”
Son Jong-hyun’s voice sparked spirit again.
As soon as he hung up the phone, he opened his mouth to his guild members.
“Let’s go to the next point and wait. There was a bit of a delay, so hurry up…”
“You were lucky.”
Before I could finish speaking, a woman’s voice interrupted.
Son Jonghyun quickly turned his head.
There was a face there that I had never seen before.
I thought he was another guild member, but looking at his outfit, it didn’t seem like that.
‘shit. Could this be an operations team…?’
Son Jong-hyun gritted his teeth.
If you are an operations team, the situation becomes very difficult.
If you get caught here, other guilds could also be in danger.
Whether you run or fight, you must at least avoid being caught.
Fortunately, this one has a lot more pages.
It was a moment when I thought that I could do something.
“Looking at the uniform… it looks like it’s from the Chilseong guild.”
The other woman spoke first.
Son Jong-hyun bobbed his head without letting down his guard.
“What about that one?”
“This is Kim Min-ju, leader of Operation Team 1 of the Supernatural Dimension Management Association.”
“…!”
At the same time, Son Jong-hyun’s face hardened.
The association’s youngest elite team leader.
Korea’s youngest and highest-achieving A-rank hunter.
Ranked 4th in the country.
Unique class ‘Geomje’ Kim Min-ju.
There was no way anyone eating dungeon food on this floor would not know her name.
‘Damn it, even if we meet…’
Son Jong-hyun’s hands began to tremble.
Should I run away? Or should I pray now?
No matter what choice I made, it seemed like it would be useless in front of that monster.
At that time, Minju Kim opened her mouth in a calm voice.
“Please stop now.”
At the same time, his eyes flashed as if warning.
“Before you exert yourself.”
***
Small bar near Itaewon.
Yang Min-ho finished his phone call at his favorite store and raised his drink again.
But before I could even take a sip, the phone rang again.
“Yes, Senator.”
“How is it going?”
“There is no response yet, but it will be soon. “The dungeon is being taken away right before our eyes, and there’s no way the association will sit still.”
“okay. “It was a good thing I entrusted you with this,”
said Rep. Jeong Hoon of the Future Democratic Party.
A mid-level politician seeking a third term in the Seoul constituency.
He was the client for this project.
“Because of this gate, the association cut off all ties with the political world, which was difficult. “I thought that if things continued like this, the association would run wild.”
“I know very well. Representatives, you don’t have to worry anymore and just focus on preparing for the election.”
I heard an answer, but Yang Min-ho hung up the phone appropriately.
The request he received this time, known as the cleaner, was to ‘lower citizens’ trust in the association.’
In other words, it was a political maneuver by a party that targeted ‘transformation of punitive power into a nation’.
Through this gate, many people who were associated with the political world flew away and the association became completely independent from political forces.
Politicians began to fear the association, which was out of their hands, and tried to take away the association’s right to subjugate them as a means to keep them in check.
This request was the foundation for that.
As soon as Yang Min-ho received the request, he contacted the guild in Seoul. He then added that he had a chance to get revenge on the association.
The longer they have been at the bottom, the easier it is to deal with them.
If you persuade them with the lure of rising social status, they are willing to sacrifice their lives.
So will the association really want to negotiate?
It’s a meaningless sound.
Even if you were a cleaner, you still have traces of your past.
Above all, you cannot deceive your eyes.
Director Kim Jun-woo.
That bastard is more vicious than Seo Min-cheol.
He will use every means at his disposal, including legal battles.
Once friction arises, it will not easily subside and will escalate into a bigger dispute.
The more heated the dispute, the better.
It would be even worse if an armed conflict broke out. This will serve as an opportunity to instill distrust in the association among citizens.
I have disbelief as to whether those people who fight for each other’s benefit will be able to protect my safety.
What if the timing is right and you come out with ‘regaining the government’s right to subjugate’ as an election pledge?
‘I can hear the sound of money rolling in from here.’
Yang Minho raised the corners of his mouth and sipped his drink.
