The Dungeon Cleaning Life of a Once Genius Hunter - Chapter 78

078

A temporary base for the Vietnamese operation team hunters located deep in the mountains.

The base was more like a camp with tents roughly made of logs and palm leaves.

“…hello. hello?”

Inside the operation command room, Operation Team 1 leader Nguyen grabbed the receiver and let out a confused voice.

“…did you hang up?”

“What are you saying?”

“I’m not interested…”

Huin’s eyebrows waved.

They said they kidnapped their own employees and they don’t care?

“Perhaps… I didn’t bring you there by mistake.”

Operation Team Leader Nguyen asked cautiously.

“If you don’t even think about listening to it, aren’t you a member of their association?”

“Are they trying to scare us?”

“Or maybe he really doesn’t care whether he gets kidnapped or not…”

Team members also poured out questions.

It was quite an embarrassing situation for them, but in fact, it was Huin himself who was more embarrassed than anyone else.

It’s not that they brought the wrong person. I’m sure I checked it several times.

‘But what on earth is that…’

Huin bit his nails.

Now that I think about it, they haven’t felt any tension since before.

Even though dozens of armed hunters were pointing their weapons at them, instead of being scared, they were talking among themselves and yawning.

Moreover, the president of the association does not even care at all even though his employees have been kidnapped.

‘Oh, no way…’

Did the association send the lowest level people?

Sparks flew from Huin’s head.

Yes, it makes no sense otherwise.

Since they have never experienced anything like this, they cannot understand the situation.

It’s so low-level that it’s not even in the president’s mind.

‘Damn Koreans…’

I knew they were quietly ignoring it, but why would they send such lowly bastards to a merger or acquisition case between associations?

My fist gained strength.

“What do we do now? If they continue to react like that, it means kidnapping those guys…”

Just as Team Leader Nguyen cautiously opened his mouth, Huynh’s cell phone rang.

After checking the recipient, Huin’s brows narrowed.

“Oh, it’s me.”

He is the person responsible for blocking the acquisition of the International Association and a high-ranking figure within the party’s military branch who is siphoning off all government subsidies.

He was the head of the Viet General Political Department.

“Nothing else, I heard that a yellow grade dungeon has appeared in the southern part of the country. “The estimated profit there is higher, so proceed with that first.”

“The green-grade dungeon that appeared in Mapirang Canyon last time has been abandoned for a month already. It’s so close that the monster escapes, so let’s go there first…”

“Are you throwing up at my words?”

Director Viet’s voice became sharp.

“More than anything, given the current conditions, a yellow rating is unreasonable. Please at least lower the subsidy….”

「Anyway, these useless bastards are making money out of nothing. Hey you bastard. Associations in other countries can be subdued even without a single penny. “If you don’t have the ability, you could even sacrifice your life.”

“….”

“Don’t talk back any more, but first subdue what I said. “If you die, I will take responsibility.”

Director Viet muttered to himself, you incompetent bastards, and hung up the phone.

Huin put down his phone and gritted his teeth.

It’s always like this.

Since he was only interested in making a profit, there were many times when a plan prepared for several days was overturned with a single phone call.

Of course, this was an order that did not take into account the situation here at all.

Currently, Huin is in charge of only two operations teams. Even those consisted of less than 20 people each.

The control team consisted of only one person, and the cleaning team consisted of only three people.

Even if you think about common sense, it is not a scale that can properly conquer even a green grade dungeon.

But to subdue the yellow class?

This was really like telling me to die.

‘Damn you bastard…’

Huin’s fists trembled.

I think about getting rid of it a hundred times a day.

I don’t know when I might die right now, but it would be much better to find something else to do than to be treated like this.

But that can’t be possible.

There are well over 100 dungeons that are currently being neglected.

Fortunately, there were unofficial operational forces like theirs throughout the region, so they were somehow able to put out the urgent fire, but if they gave up even that, it would really be the end.

The entire country will explode out of control.

Yes, it’s such a shitty thing to do… but who will do it if they don’t do it themselves?

Huin also knew that things couldn’t go on like this. A fundamental change was needed.

But what can you do?

As Viet said, they have no power or ability.

So, for now, all I can do is to put aside absurd thoughts like re-establishing the association and just worry about the work in front of me.

“Tell this to your teammates. “The strategy is changing.”

Finally, Huynh made a decision.

“Change of operation…?”

“It’s Viet’s order. “Defeat the yellow class first.”

“Yes yes?!”

Team leader Nguyen’s voice became more intense.

“You know! With my current budget, I can’t even afford defensive equipment! “Idaeron is annihilated at the entrance!”

“I know.”

Huin let out a long sigh.

“So we have to get the ransom somehow.”

Huin pulled out a dagger from his belt.

Then he walked towards the room where the hostages were kept.

It was a look of determination.

***

The place we were trapped in was a space similar to Nha San, a traditional Vietnamese house.

They put thick handcuffs on my wrists, but other than that, no other action was taken.

‘It looks like they’re busy negotiating with the association right now…’

I quietly looked at the other two guys.

Kim Min-joo was sitting quietly with his eyes closed, and Han Yu-bin had been yawning non-stop since earlier.

One way or another, there was no tension.

“But I mean it.”

At that time, Yubin Han asked vaguely.

“If this is going to happen, wouldn’t it be better to just give up on Vietnam and look for another association? “There’s no reason to go through all this trouble and insist on staying here.”

I shook my head.

“It’s not possible. The Vietnam Association cannot give up. “Why do you think I chose this place first?”

“…well.”

“Malaysia, Cambodia, Singapore, Thailand, etc. All surrounding countries are part of the international association. “Among them, Vietnam is the only independent association that remains.”

Well… even that has been disbanded now.

anyway.

“As you know, the International Association branch must deliver a certain percentage of accessories and items to headquarters when conquering a dungeon. However, it cannot be transported by air. “When items are transported by plane, there may be airframe defects due to tiny electromagnetic waves.”

“I was also from a branch of an international association, right?”

Han Yubin narrowed his eyes.

It’s good to know, I shrugged and continued.

“Well, in the end, the Southeast Asian branches have no choice but to use the land route to transport goods… and the only route is in the north of Vietnam.”

However, the Vietnamese association failed to take advantage of that advantage.

They must have noticed that it was a very small association compared to its surroundings.

“Until now, the Vietnamese association has no power, so it seems like they only accepted the existing customs fees and opened the land route, but that is foolish.”

“Oh no way…”

Han Yu-bin looked anxious.

I nodded firmly.

“I intend to take over that transport route. To do that, we must establish a branch here.”

“Ah, anyway, that’s a bit… The International Association would be a bit of a mess.”

“That’s the purpose in the first place. “It’s about creating a means of keeping things in check.”

“….”

“And what are they going to do? But I guess I can’t give up the item.”

I shrugged my shoulders.

“Of course, I am not suggesting that customs fees be raised. In the first place, that’s not something we can do on our line. We simply take charge of the intermediate transportation between the branch and headquarters. All you have to do is sort the items brought in from each country and take them back to the continent.”

In fact, it would not be a bad condition for the international association branch. Because you’re saving money for more trouble.

Of course, that in itself would be very annoying.

“Soon, all items and accessories from Southeast Asia will be flocking to Vietnam.”

“You mean to make it into herbs…?”

“It’s not just any herb.”

If you only thought about that much, why would you go through the trouble of buying it?

“Vietnam will become Asia’s largest hub.”

He smiled.

“Anyway, even if it’s a little hard work, if we think about our vision, we can’t give up on the Vietnam Association.”

“I understand what you’re saying, but… is this a possible plan in this situation? “They don’t even want to listen to us.”

“…hmm.”

I moaned softly.

It certainly is.

Even if the government is involved, it can actually try anything, including negotiation or persuasion.

The problem is these guys here.

Whatever we do here is impossible without the cooperation of the only remaining forces of the Vietnam Association.

But let alone cooperation, they have no intention of even listening to the story.

I think they nailed it in the first place, thinking that something like that couldn’t be possible…

‘Tsk, these people who say they’re from an association are so scared.’

It was a time when I was lost in thought for a moment about how I could persuade these guys. The

door

that had been closed suddenly opened and Huin came inside.

He approached me with great strides and grabbed me by the collar.

“Wow….”

Minjoo Kim was truly impressed.

“I can see the teacher being grabbed by the collar.”

“Is this a new suicide method?”

And then they laugh amongst themselves.

“Are you laughing now?”

A completely different atmosphere than before.

Just looking at it, it looks like the negotiations didn’t go as expected.

I’m going to come out strong.

“I guess you still haven’t figured out the situation, but if negotiations break down, you’re the only one who loses. “If you don’t want to have a hole in your head, somehow contact the headquarters and get the money!”

“well. I wouldn’t believe it even if that old man died. Well, it will probably be the same no matter how many times I contact you.”

I don’t know if you would believe me if I told you that I needed money for an accident.

“I am sure you will not be able to get a single penny from the Korean Association.”

“no.”

Huin immediately shook his head.

“I will get it somehow.”

He suddenly thrust a dagger in front of my eyes.

under.

If it continues like this, I can’t do anything about it anymore.

If conversation is not possible, use force…

“Team leader!!”

At that moment, someone opened the door and came in.

“what?”

“The green grade dungeon where you canceled the operation… the monster escaped the dungeon.”

“…Damn it.”

Huin’s brow furrowed.

“The location is.”

“It was detected in Mafirang Gorge 30 minutes ago and is now heading toward a private house.”

Huin’s face became thoughtful.

I couldn’t understand what they were saying, but it was clear that this was an unusual situation.

A dungeon has appeared in the city, or a monster has escaped.

I could see the hand holding the dagger trembling.

Eventually, the sound of teeth grinding was heard, and he threw the knife on the floor and shouted.

“Assemble all available personnel. “We’re dispatching immediately!”

“Is there a problem?”

“You have no idea.”

“Has the monster escaped?”

He ignored my words and was about to leave when he narrowed his eyes and turned around.

“…If that’s the case, then what can you do?”

“I guess that’s right.”

My expression also hardened.

“I saw earlier that the operation team only had 30 to 40 people. Do you think it would be possible to subdue the escaped monsters with that number of people? “I don’t think it will be enough to evacuate or rescue citizens.”

“…Are you kidding me?”

“No way.”

If that was going to be the case, I wouldn’t have talked for this long.

“I’m just saying this because I want to help you.”

“Ha…”

Juan let out a laugh.

“Who helps who on this topic? “I don’t think you know that I’m trying to take advantage of the opportunity to run away?”

end?

who?

…Well, that’s a second thing.

“We are also members of the association. They are not the ones who run away to survive even though they know that citizens are in danger. “I can promise you that.”

“I will persuade the party, I will set up an association, I will help with the subjugation… If you look at what they say, there is nothing they cannot do.”

“….”

“You’re just showing off and staying quiet.”

The latter left this place like that.

I really can’t help but be a frustrating person in one way or another.

“…What do you think?”

I shrugged my shoulders and asked Minjoo Kim and Yubin Han.

“Suppose monsters that escape with that number of people? “It would be lucky if we didn’t get wiped out.”

“I think it will be difficult. The equipment also looked quite old.”

Han Yu-bin and Kim Min-ju had the same opinion.

“It’s difficult one way or another.”

“What?”

“If the existing operation team is destroyed, wouldn’t we have to form a new operation team from scratch even if we establish a branch? “You will have to take charge of everything from recruitment to training.”

“….”

“….”

Let the silence continue for a moment.

“Then there is nothing to worry about.”

Han Yubin sighed lightly and stood up.

Kim Min-ju also nodded and followed suit.

Kang-.

He cut off the handcuffs on his wrists so easily, as if there was no need for him to exert any effort.

“Let’s go before things get worse.”

Their eyes revived.
