Chapter Index

    The birth of a new government department comprised of former hunters.

    There was a lot of debate over this.

    Opinion is that there is a need for a new ministry for the Hunter Association, and opinion that too much power should not be concentrated in one side.

    Some say that selecting only those who are hunters is discriminatory, and others say that this may be the case for special jobs.

    In the midst of a tense conflict, with both sides holding sufficiently plausible opinions, one thing has become clear.

    Establishment of a new ministry for national security.

    Here, everyone agreed.

    Hunters unanimously say that the resolution of this incident was nothing short of a miracle.

    And they said again.

    Even if the same incident happens at some point, there is no guarantee that it will be prevented as easily as it is now.

    No, it will definitely cause great damage that cannot even be compared to what it is now.

    The claims of those at the forefront of this incident caused great unrest in the hearts of the public.

    And one more.

    The President also listened to their words.

    Because he saw it himself.

    When a disaster occurred, most of the people summoned to the emergency meeting were left shaking without even a single opinion.

    ‘It will never be possible with the current configuration.’

    Security that is determined by one person or luck.

    Isn’t it literally like standing on the edge of a cliff and praying that the ground you’re standing on doesn’t collapse?

    The system had to be overhauled before it fell off the cliff.

    And hunters must also improve their response to emergency situations through training.

    The ruling party moved according to his wishes, and the opposition party also accepted it.

    Because we know very well that blocking the flow that the people want will be neither porridge nor rice.

    The establishment of the new ministry proceeded smoothly.

    The name of the ministry created through various processes is ‘Ministry of Land Protection’.

    The name of the first minister of this ministry, which is made up of former and current hunters, is Maeng Ki-yong.

    A former Class A hunter, a current member of the National Assembly, and a man who has led the current trend.

    Ministry of Homeland Security.

    In short, he sat on the chair in the minister’s office in the building given to the Ministry of National Security, slightly loosened the tie that was tight around his neck, and made a call somewhere on his smartphone.

    “I finished it as you said.”

    His movements were carried out strictly through orders.

    A disaster that came out of nowhere.

    And through this, a sense of crisis was created, leading to the establishment of a new ministry.

    It was a close call as the damage was less than expected, but fortunately the result was not bad.

    Rather than simply basing the progress on the damage, it was effective to express that the resolution of this disaster was achieved through the miraculous power of only one person.

    “Probably Kim Do-jin will have no choice this time.”

    Although he had interfered with the organization’s work many times until now, he was confident that this time it would be too much.

    No illegal work or manipulation was done here.

    It only reflects the will of the people.

    Of course, it was you and the organization that instigated such a gathering of opinions, but isn’t this something that often happens in politics?

    But it was impossible to let down your guard.

    “The primary goal has been achieved, so I will hold my breath for the time being.”

    The organization’s activities will be halted for a while and the organization will focus its efforts on the superficial activities of the National Investigation Department.

    So that the newly created Buddha can gain greater power than any other Buddha.

    I plan to increase the price little by little.

    “If you continue to share the situation in other places, we will act accordingly. Yes, then.”

    Maeng Ki-yong ended the call in a polite manner throughout.

    He got up from his chair and looked down at the people walking down the building.

    The flowers in the greenhouse are once again living a peaceful daily life as if they never did before.

    It wasn’t far.

    Their lives will not change.

    As in the past and present, so in the future.

    They were always crawling on the floor.

    However, only the sky that covered them changed from moment to moment.

    “Not much time left.”

    It wasn’t far.

    The day when the sky will reign over their heads.

    Until that time comes, let’s pretend we care about them just a little longer.

    The things implemented with that idea were met with great response, and public support for the National Subsidiary Department was at its peak.

    An unexpected disaster unfolded not far away in Vietnam and the Philippines.

    * * *

    My long stay in the hospital is over.

    I stayed for a total of ten days.

    He could have been discharged right away, but they kept preventing him from being discharged, saying it was obvious that he would run around without resting if he was left outside.

    “This is why quick-witted women have a hard time.”

    Maybe it’s because we’ve been together for quite some time, so he knows me very well.

    “Well, it’s not bad.”

    It feels really good.

    Because it means that they care for me and cherish me.

    “My body has definitely become lighter.”

    I didn’t really do anything for 10 days.

    I couldn’t even have sex.

    It was as if we had colluded, and every woman who was there refused.

    Thanks to this, my sexual desire increased, but in return, my body became much lighter.

    It felt like all the fatigue that had built up knowingly or unknowingly had been washed away.

    “Let’s move vigorously again.”

    Hexagram, who won a decision over the past 10 days, has made significant progress.

    The birth of a new government department.

    “The name is… , Was it the noodle department?”

    Ministry of Homeland Security.

    This ministry, which was created through various processes at a speed that is almost like a steal, is currently growing rapidly, receiving enthusiastic support from the public.

    The director’s name is Maeng Ki-yong.

    When he was on active duty, he was an A-level hunter close to S-level, and he was a man who had teamed up with him several times in the past.

    I remember him as a good person.

    Unlike me, who started my career as a hunter only for the money, I also had a sense of duty, and thanks to that, I had a good network of people.

    “I was one of them.”

    We drank together once or twice, and whenever we ran into each other, we would greet each other with a bright smile.

    Taking advantage of his unusual last name, Mr. Maeng, he was also nicknamed Mr. Mangkonggi.

    “I was very sad when I retired.”

    He chose to retire even though he was fully capable of working.

    It wasn’t an injury or fear.

    Meng Ki-yong wanted to establish a clearer system and discipline in the still unsystematic hunter society.

    Guarantee the rights of hunters and reduce risks.

    I will create a counterweight that will respect their nobility but block their sense of privilege.

    A hunter couldn’t do that.

    That’s why he boldly retired as a hunter and entered politics.

    He was well-known and popular at the time, so he easily earned the gold badge.

    But that’s it.

    “It was easy to get started, but… , I didn’t survive there.”

    A world full of all kinds of fraud and propaganda.

    The influence of old politicians who had survived there all their lives was strong, and he was infinitely weak.

    When ten policies were proposed, nine were ignored as soon as they were spoken about, and the remaining one could not cross the threshold due to the opposing forces.

    Even though he spent four years like that and was re-elected, his position did not change.

    No, on the contrary, it became even narrower.

    There was a time when he was remembered by people as a popular hunter, but not anymore.

    Now I’m just one of those lawmakers.

    The expression has also changed a lot.

    The eyes that were once overflowing with energy and enthusiasm have long since faded.

    I thought I had finally broken down after hitting the wall of reality.

    “It shines again.”

    His eyes were shining as he came out proudly after being crouched for a long time.

    Just like the look in his eyes when he retired from Hunter and entered politics.

    What has changed is that his goal has changed.

    “That kind of guy became the hexagram’s henchman… .”

    The goal of Hexagram is clear for Noodle Department.

    A terrorist attack out of nowhere.

    Use this to seize power.

    The two events coincided with perfect timing.

    And Maeng Ki-yong is one of the people who benefited the most from this incident.

    He went from being a member of the National Assembly, whose name most of the public did not even know, to becoming the Minister of Homeland Security, who received strong support from the people.

    “The growth rate is too much.”

    No matter how much public support they have, their growth rate is too fast.

    If things continue like this, it is difficult to estimate how much power they will have in their hands.

    What if those who have become powerful reveal their impure intentions in the future?

    “… If you add a little bit of exaggeration, the whole country might turn upside down.”

    It’s not even that big of an exaggeration.

    What if all the members of the Department of Homeland Security, including him, are members of Hexagram?

    If only I could get the support of active hunters.

    It would not be impossible to overthrow the Republic of Korea solely through force.

    “No fuss.”

    Terrorism is the starting point of their grand plan.

    And not only was I defeated in the first battle, I was also exploited to a great extent.

    “You guys can’t just let things go their way.”

    Thanks to you, my motivation boils over.

    I’m the type of person who can never live with being beaten.

    I drive straight to the association.

    “Eoyu, this is the mourning house.”

    As you enter the building, there is a gloomy atmosphere.

    This is because, since the advent of the Ministry of Homeland Security, the association has been deprived of many of the powers it had almost monopolized.

    That’s what humans are like.

    If you don’t have it from the beginning, you won’t know, but if you have it and then it gets taken away, you feel dirty.

    I pass by the employees who deal with visitors with somewhat gloomy smiles and get into the elevator.

    The target is an underground interrogation room.

    Ding!

    As the elevator arrives, I see a familiar face.

    “Director Kim?”

    Director Kim Seong-tae, whom we formed a relationship with during our time as manager and with whom we still maintain a good relationship.

    He came out to meet me in front of the elevator.

    “It’s been a while, Hunter Dojin Kim.”

    “Yes, that’s right. How have you been? , No, I guess that’s not it.”

    I realized in the middle of speaking that there was no need to ask the cliched question, “How are you?”

    There’s no way the director of the Hunter Association, who keeps losing out due to the advent of the Department of Homeland Security, is doing well.

    By the way.

    “What’s going on here? Did you come to see me?”

    “… Yes.”

    Director Kim Seong-tae answers with a dark complexion and nods.

    “What is it? What on earth are you trying to say with such a dark expression?”

    I hope he answers my question.

    “… Jincheon was taken over by the Ministry of Land Security.”

    “Wow.”

    This is a really big deal.
