The Dungeon Cleaning Life of a Once Genius Hunter - Chapter 74

Silence fell in the conference room.
The directors looked like they didn’t understand what I was talking about, and the president of the association did the same.
“Going abroad means…”
Finally, the president of the association opened his mouth heavily.
“Are you suggesting we acquire another independent association and make it a branch?”
“That’s right.”
“Huh…”
The sigh came back as if in despair.
In fact, there are not many options in the current situation.
Either launch a preemptive attack on the international association.
Or, strengthen your defense network by making as many allies as possible.
It’s either this or that, or you can just stupidly stay silent, whether or not you get attacked like today.
In reality, preemptive strikes are nonsense and I cannot tolerate being beaten stupidly.
Then there is only one thing left.
Prepare as many allies as possible.
I just expanded it from domestic to overseas.
If we acquire another independent association and establish a branch overseas, we will have a means to keep international associations in check.
This is a warning to other associations that they will not remain silent if they touch us.
Well, of course.
“Now wait a minute! “For us, an independent association, to have branches overseas is clearly a provocation against international associations!”
It would be natural for such a reaction to occur.
“This is not at the level of keeping the international association in check; it is simply turning it into an enemy! I absolutely cannot agree!”
Director Kim Woo-bae expressed his protest in a firm voice.
“If we start acquiring other independent associations, the association will not sit still.”
“In fact, there may be an even bigger attack than now! Wouldn’t it be better to just stay still?”
“No matter how much I think about it, this is not the case, President of the Association!”
After that, other directors also added their words one by one.
Meanwhile, the association president continued to remain silent.
Perhaps because he was very frustrated, Director Kim Woo-bae opened his mouth again.
“In the first place. Do you really believe that the Lions Clubs International attacked us? “Isn’t this just speculation without any evidence?”
“….”
“President of the Association! It’s nothing to worry about! This issue has gone too far. Going abroad is a definite no-no! Nonsense from a former cleaner who knows nothing….”
“What?”
At that moment, the association president’s blue eyes penetrated director Kim Woo-bae.
It was an intimidating feeling that made even me, who was watching across the river, startle.
“You haven’t forgotten that it was that janitor who put you in that position, right?”
“That…”
Director Kim Woo-bae trailed off.
And then, somehow, he looks at my eyes.
“Ah, no matter what, it’s too dangerous to openly provoke the international association…”
“Director Kim Jun-woo.”
The president of the association cut him off and called me, as if he didn’t want to hear any more.
“yes.”
“The directors are right. The risk is too great to turn the International Association into an enemy based on your own selfish desires. This is especially true when expanding overseas. “If we are not careful, we may be hit by a backlash and our side will be destroyed.”
The gaze he was looking at me was quite sharp.
I wonder if I don’t know that.
I also didn’t want to mess with the international association.
What is the benefit of messing with the most powerful mechanism in the world?
Above all, since my goal is to become the secretary-general of an international association, it would not be a good choice for me to sour my relationship with them.
To be honest, I had no intention of doing this at all.
As long as you didn’t openly tamper with me in front of me.
“The fact that you don’t know that, but you’re talking about it like this… I guess that means there’s a reason to do it, right?”
“yes.”
He answered firmly.
“good.”
Soon, the corner of the association president’s mouth rose with a grin.
“I will take responsibility for whether the association flies or not, so do whatever you want.”
“President of the Tongue Association!”
“You don’t have to make such an emotional decision…!”
“I didn’t like those bastards from the beginning. That’s why the Korean Association was established independently. But now, I heard that my subordinates almost got wiped out because of those guys…”
His eyes turned to the directors.
“Isn’t it an idiot for the International Association to remain silent?”
“….”
“….”
The directors avoided answering the association president’s gaze.
“Do whatever you can, whether it’s overseas branches or whatever. “Show us clearly what happens if you touch us.”
“All right.”
He bowed his head and answered.
And then he cautiously opened his mouth again.
“Oh, and I think we also need to decide who will take charge of this case. Of course, I want to proceed, but unfortunately, the date I promised with the president of the association has come to an end.”
He looked truly regretful.
Of course, that wasn’t my intention at all.
Anyway, the promised month is almost over.
It would be difficult to carry out the work with only a few days left, so of course someone else should take charge…
“Oh, but it’s right for the person who spoke up to do it.”
Director Lee Du-sik suddenly opened his mouth.
“yes? Oh no, I…”
“What do other people think?”
“Of course, the head of the operations headquarters should be in charge. “You’re not planning on just doing something and getting rid of it, are you?”
“I agree.”
“Oh no, so the date of resignation is…”
Director Lee Du-sik waved his hand.
“If that’s the case, don’t worry about it. The president of the association will handle it flexibly to that extent. Isn’t that right, President?”
The president of the association looks at me intently.
Then he grins.
“If you don’t want to go somewhere and be called an old man, you need to be flexible about things like this.”
“….”
“So, just give it one more month.”
I had to keep my mouth shut because I felt like swearing would come out.

Office of the Chief of Operations, Seoul Headquarters.
“Damn you guys…”
I sighed and threw myself into a chair.
At the same time, he loosened his tie in frustration.
In the end, my resignation was postponed by a month.
‘Fuck really…’
When that thing goes out, I’ll send it to you kindly. How long do you plan on holding on to it?
I put my finger on it and placed it on the back of my head.
Of course, it was annoying to bring this up and leave the work to someone else… but in fact, given my current situation, it was the position that had to be done.
An organization that only existed in ghost stories was revealed in reality.
Given the circumstances, they were probably the ones who killed me in my past life.
The Secretary-General is the Secretary-General, and anyway, shouldn’t he take revenge on the international association bastards who made me like this?
But the problem is that we don’t know what their purpose is and what exactly they do.
Unless I know where and how they work, it would be almost impossible for me to find them first.
I don’t know if they’re coming to visit me from there.
The raid failed, and wasn’t his identity exposed as well? They will definitely come back to me someday.
That’s why they released Yang Min-ho in the first place.
Maybe I’ll meet that bastard who put ‘Titan’ in my head in my past life again.
Well, I would be very grateful if he came in person, but…
‘And that’s only when I’m alone.’
These are the guys who tried to kill about 100 hunters for a hostile takeover.
There is no guarantee that those guys will only target me.
They might target my subordinates to get to me.
I kept the fact that I was attacked out of fear.
Not only would it be of no benefit to know, but above all, it would be better for others’ reputation if they did not know about the organization.
Hunter registration was dismissed without even a second thought. Because I’m just giving information to that side for no reason.
But in the end, that is only a temporary measure and I will definitely be exposed to danger as long as I continue to remain in the association.
This applies not only to the operations team but also to other teams.
In the worst case, someone could actually lose their life.
‘Ugh… Kim Jun-woo died a lot. ‘I worry about people who have nothing to do with me.’
Anyway, once this is over, I plan to leave the association and move on my own.
The president of the association seemed to have vaguely sensed this, and said that he could resign as long as this matter was handled well.
In addition, even if you leave, shouldn’t you make a manual before leaving?
Well, if it came out like that, I couldn’t refuse it anymore, so I had no choice but to accept the offer.
Anyway, if you do it the first time, they will send it to you.
‘Tsk, no matter what, what kind of overseas business trip is this in your later years…?’
It was a time when I was constantly babbling with a grumpy expression on my face.
smart-.
“Director?”
Aide Shin Su-ji came into the office.
“This is the analysis data on the status of the Vietnam Independence Association that you requested.”
“Oh, thank you.”
she asked, handing me the documents.
“When are you going to leave the country?”
“We will do it within this week.”
“All right. Then, I will reserve a plane ticket for the day after tomorrow. “Ah, is there anyone who wants to accompany you?”
“I’ll think about it and tell you again later today.”
“yes. Oh, and…”
Shin Su-ji’s aide continued carefully.
“I just received a call from the trauma ward, saying that Team Leader Kim Min-ju has regained consciousness.”
“is that so.”
I answered without taking my eyes off the document.
“You don’t have to go?”
“it’s okay.”
“But you almost died once…”
“You didn’t die. “Then that’s it.”
“….”
I kept feeling eyes on the top of my head.
When I slightly raise my head, I see that she has a very subtle expression.
“Ugh… don’t look at me like that.”
I said, covering the documents with my chin.
“Because I already went.”

Hunter Support Team Critical Injury Management Unit.
Kim Min-ju, who had just regained consciousness, looked quite confused.
This was because there was a fruit basket on his lap. There was even a roughly folded note in the basket.
Minju Kim looked around first.
Only after confirming that no one was there, I carefully unfolded the note.
[How much are you sucking up from industrial accidents? If I get hurt one more time, I’ll be fired.]
I burst out laughing.
There was no name written down, but… what does it matter?
I think you already know.
smart-.
At that time, the door burst open with a knocking sound.
“Hey, our team leader is fine!”
“sister! are you okay?!”
“Let’s go in! Why are you blocking the way at the door?”
There were more than one or two people who opened the door and came in.
Sanghyuk Han and Soyeon Moon of the cleaning team. And even guild leaders Cha Seok-hyun and Yoo Ji-woo, who went on the subjugation together.
The hospital room instantly became noisy.
“Sister, aren’t you pushing yourself too hard these days? “How many times has this happened already?”
“Take it easy, sister! You should also think about retirement. “If you break your body when you’re young, you’ll suffer later?”
Soyeon Moon and Sanghyuk Han said.
Kim Min-ju smiled instead of answering.
But inside, I couldn’t laugh at all.
This time too, in the end, nothing was done right.
If someone hadn’t helped me at the end, I would have been in the morgue instead of the hospital room.
There is still a long way to go.
How long are you going to receive help?
Out of anger, I clenched my fists without realizing it.
“No, but… “Team leader, are you really A rank?”
Cha Seok-hyeon asked vaguely.
“Yes yes?”
“Why, during the subjugation? Team leader, your combat power was almost S-rank. “Isn’t there an error in the ranking system?”
“If it weren’t for the lack of oxygen, Minju would have subdued him.”
Guild leader Yoo Ji-woo helped out.
“I know yeah! “The head of the department intervened in the middle, so in reality, it’s the same as subjugating the team leader?”
“Director…?”
“Oh yeah what.”
Guild leader Cha Seok-hyeon nodded.
“From what I heard, it seems that the dungeon opened while we were in the middle of a battle. “I heard that the head of the headquarters came running right away after hearing from the crew that we were in the process of subjugating.”
Kim Min-ju looked dumbfounded.
“After the subjugation, the head of the headquarters asked. Who ordered this? So I said it was Team Leader Kim’s order.”
“…What did you say?”
“Please tell me you did well.”
Yu Ji-woo smiled and answered.
At that time, the hospital room door opened once again.
Kim Min-ju quickly turned his head and looked at that place.
“How are you feeling?”
He was Shin Su-ji’s aide.
“Ah… yes, it’s okay.”
Since it was not the person he expected, Kim Min-joo hurriedly controlled his expression.
As I was doing that, Shin Su-ji’s aide handed me something.
It was a plane ticket.
“This is….”
“The director is going on a business trip overseas this time. Departure is the day after tomorrow. “Please tell me to pack my bags in advance.”
Kim Min-ju looked quite embarrassed by the sudden story.
However, after a while, I understood what he meant and hurriedly covered my mouth with my hand.
It was to hide his flushed face.
“Ah, Team Leader Yubin Han will also go with us. Please take note.”
“….”
Of course, the good feelings didn’t last long.
