The hair of two people sitting in a space where there is no wind blowing.

The starting point was Kim Do-jin.

He showed off his energy with an offended expression at his opponent’s firm rejection, and Maeng Ki-yong also showed off his energy as if he would not lose.

The sudden wind indoors was created by the collision of these two forces.

In the midst of a battle of pride where neither side backs down even an inch.

“Kim Do-jin Hunter.”

Maeng Ki-yong opened his mouth in a somewhat relaxed manner.

It felt as if the current battle wasn’t threatening at all.

“I completely understand your anger at the enemy’s assassination attempt. But not this.”

“What do you mean it’s not?”

“The interrogation of captured criminals is the authority of our National Investigation Department. No matter how much I am an S-class hunter, to recklessly ask for this to be handed over is not only disrespectful to our Ministry of National Intelligence, but also an act of betraying the will of the President and the people who are giving us strength.”

Numerous thorns hidden in his polite tone prick him.

Your actions now turn us all into enemies.

If you do not back down at this point, I will make this matter public.

“Huh.”

Kim Do-jin understands the meaning of the words and swallows the nonsense.

Because the content is bloody?

no.

This was because it seemed so heterogeneous.

“You’ve changed a lot.”

There is a big gap between the Maeng Ki-yong I had a relationship with in the past and the Maeng Ki-yong I see right now.

Maeng Ki-yong asked in a puzzled tone at his words, which were spoken as if he were talking to himself.

“Change?”

“Ah, well… , because I like the previous generation of hunters. I often get lessons by watching their old videos, and there were quite a few videos of Maeng Ki-yong Hunter.”

“… It’s such an honor that you’re looking at my video, where I was just an A-level hunter with nothing special to say.”

“Well, ”

Kim Do-jin shrugs his shoulders and shakes his head.

He had different thoughts from Meng Ki-yong.

He was an A-level hunter with no special features?

you’re welcome.

“Personally, I think Hunter Maeng Ki-yong, who has become a minister, is the most unremarkable.”

“… … .”

A hatch is drawn on the expression of Maeng Ki-yong, who had always shown a relaxed attitude.

“What would you say about Maeng Gi-yong’s hunter at that time…? , He seemed like a really sparkling person. Unlike other hunters who started their work because of the money promised by the government, they had a strong sense of duty, were just, and thanks to that, they had a good network of people.”

“That’s your mistake… .”

“Oh, that could be true. I told you it was just my personal opinion, right?”

Before he could even finish his rebuttal, he cut off the tail of his sentence and continued.

“I also liked you when you were a member of the National Assembly. Even though I wasted my time playing to old political monsters, I think the process itself deserves praise.”

It truly was.

Someone had to do it, and it was something that had to happen.

Playing with the big names in politics.

It was a crushing humiliation and a hammering at the same time.

Driving a tiny nail into a large, solid wall.

That small crack was a very weak beginning and foundation that would later destroy the entire wall.

At that time, he did not shine, but he was sublime.

Even now, I was rolling in the mud to pave the way for my seniors, colleagues, and juniors who are struggling in the field.

But what about now?

“Now that I have become a minister… , well. He seems like a stubborn old man who has lost his shine and sublimity. A person who is filled with self-righteousness, stubbornness, and stubbornness, but thinks that is the only way and justice.”

“Just stop there.”

Ignoring his warning, I spit out my last words.

“In reality, no one in this world wants it.”

Maeng Ki-yong became enraged and hit the table violently with his right hand.

“Stop!”

A voice delivered quietly but powerfully.

Even in such a situation, Kim Do-jin responded by leaning his body against the back of the sofa in a very relaxed manner.

“There is no need to stop. My impressions end there.”

Maeng Ki-yong, who has been heartbroken by the continuous attacks, turns his vicious gaze towards Kim Do-jin.

“Kim Do-jin Hunter. you are… , You have completely misunderstood my meaning.”

One sentence, not that long.

Maeng Ki-yong gathered his thoughts for a short period of time as he spit this out.

It was because I realized it.

The fact that the other person is trying to shake up your emotions with words and take advantage of that opportunity.

As if it had been a while, he returned to his business-like attitude and continued.

“If you have looked at my past videos, you would know. What kind of chaos did Maeng Ki-yong go through to reach this point in order to increase the authority of the hunters?”

A tone of pride.

“Hunter Kim Do-jin spoke so honestly about the person I am, so I will also be honest.”

He stared at Kim Do-jin with sharp eyes and continued speaking.

“I think the benefits currently given to S-class hunters are excessive. And I believe that is one of the reasons why our country’s security is being undermined.”

“… … .”

This country.

No, the entire world is giving excessive benefits to S-class people.

It was something that could not be helped.

Because only they can conquer S-class or higher dungeons that shake the very foundation of the country.

Meng Ki-yong also does not deny the fact that they should be given various benefits.

However, I just think that the amount given now is too much.

The benefits that a country can provide are similar to sharing a cake with many people.

“As the S-level receives benefits, the benefits provided to hunters of lower levels decrease.”

If one person takes a lot, the person behind them has no choice but to eat less.

Class A is better because they are still treated as high-quality personnel, but Class B and C are at a truly miserable level.

“If you expect loyalty or patriotism from a country that does not even provide you with the minimum treatment, that would be an act without conscience.”

When an incident occurs and a call-up order is issued, the call-up rate of hunters varies depending on the level.

Class A accounts for approximately 80%, Class B accounts for 60%, and Class C accounts for less than 40%.

Why?

Because you don’t want to get caught up in a dangerous fight?

right.

But underneath that thought, another thought is coiled.

“Probably… , I guess I don’t want to sacrifice my life for this kind of country.”

This is all because of the S class.

Only two or three people in the country.

Because so few people, only five to seven at most, take so much.

As much as they take, the people below them are suffering.

“So I, no, the Noodle Department is planning to change this policy.”

Kim Do-jin, who had been listening quietly, asked back.

“Would you like to reduce the benefits given to S-level players and use that to improve the treatment of hunters of other levels?”

“Yes.”

This was practically a declaration of war.

Isn’t that what humans really are?

Who would be happy if I took what I was holding in my hand and gave it to someone else?

That’s why I said it.

Maeng Ki-yong hoped that Kim Do-jin would immediately become angry and go on a rampage.

If so, I will be able to use that as an excuse to express my thoughts more strongly.

If it were another S-class hunter, things might have gone his way.

But the opponent in front of me was different.

“Oh, that sounds like a good idea?”

“… … ?”

“Surely, the S-class gained too much. Should I say that life becomes so easy because they do everything you do and give you everything you ask for? I didn’t feel like I was getting a little loose.”

This was sincere.

In fact, Son Si-woo once had the same thoughts as Meng Ki-yong.

There are so many benefits for only a very small number of S-class people.

Even if we give up some of our benefits, we must pave the way for our juniors.

That thought was cut in half before it even started.

All other S-class members were against the idea.

Even his wife, Han Joo-hee.

But I never thought that Maeng Ki-yong had the same thoughts as me.

Kim Do-jin responded by raising his thumb.

“I will support Minister Ki-Yong Maeng’s idea. Let’s try something cool!”

“Yes? Ah, yes… .”

It’s a good thing.

It is a position where it is easy to get hit by those who buy behind the scenes and reap a lot of benefits from S-class backlash.

He said he would take over that position and push it forward, so it wouldn’t be a bad thing, right?

One condition was quietly inserted there.

“So, let me interrogate you just once, right? Are you saying I’m pushing you too hard?”

“That is not possible.”

“Chet.”

Failed.

The story has reached its end.

Through the exchange of words, the two succeeded in understanding each other to some extent.

First of all, they are running on parallel paths because they do not give in to each other’s intentions.

Second, although the two people’s intentions seem to coincide, ultimately the picture they draw is completely different.

As a result, the two people, no, Kim Do-jin and the hexagram can never be compatible.

“I think I’ve said everything I wanted to say… Now, let’s get up slowly.”

A clear order to congratulate guests.

At this, Kim Do-jin obediently got up from his seat.

“Yes. Well, it doesn’t seem like there will be any good results if we talk more.”

Kim Do-jin takes a step forward and reaches the door leading out of the minister’s office.

Before opening the door.

He turned around and gave advice to the remaining Meng Ki-yong.

“Oh, I’m telling you this out of old age.”

“… … ?”

“Jincheon That guy. He’s a very strong guy, right? It’s even a martial arts weapon, so your whole body is like a weapon.”

Maeng Ki-yong tilts his head at the unexpected explanation.

At that time, I was quietly listening to what that meant.

Kim Do-jin grinned and left his last words.

“Be careful. If he escapes, it will be a pain in many ways.”

“… Keep that in mind.”

Three days after we finished talking like that.

[This is breaking news. It is said that the heinous criminal who attempted to assassinate Hunter Kim Do-jin escaped from the basement of the National Investigation Department and disappeared, causing great anxiety among citizens… .】

The Noodle Department was shocked.
