“how…how can you—”

Brown is startled by Ji-hoon’s sudden appearance and spews out English he can’t understand blah-blah.

Panoramic view of the city outside the wide window

With a cool view overlooking the forest of buildings, Jihoon was looking out the window, ignoring Brown’s words, which he couldn’t understand anyway.

Doowoo-

Doowoo–

In fact, Jihoon was trying to cast the skill again by continuously increasing his magical power.

but

“Ha…that’s not possible…how much magic power does it take?”

Ji-hoon was blaming his weak skills, forgetting that his magical power was not even the slightest bit.

When I wrote it to Sojung about an hour ago and now.

Jihoon felt that his magical power was running low even though he had only used the skill twice.

Seeing Jihoon sighing to himself, Brown walks over and takes something out of the drawer at the bottom of his desk.

Brown hands Jihoon a small wireless earphone the size of a finger.

Jihoon accepted it and put it on one ear.

“does it work?” [Does it work?]

“Oh…amazing.”

What Brown gave me were earphones with a built-in interpretation function.

In my ears, I hear Brown’s words translated into Korean with a voice quite similar to his.

Brown also puts one earphone in his ear.

Jihoon makes a sound to check the functionality of the earphones Braun is wearing.

“Ahh…ah”

“…You can hear well…You have to say the sentence…”

“Oh, that’s right. Is the interpretation good?”

“Yes, it works.”

Brown tries to hide his pitiful face and answers Jihoon.

“What happened? Where did it suddenly appear?”

“Movement skill…was used.”

“Skill? ah! That wormhole was used in the duel with me earlier-”

Brown pretends to be glad to know Ji-hoon’s skills that put him in a corner, but soon freezes.

“…If so…are you coming from…Korea?”

“Yes. Egzel’s Heart and Tonygle’s Heart. Well received. Thank you.”

“…”

Brown stares at Jihoon.

I knew he was a special hunter.

It was impossible not to know.

Is there anyone else in the world who can overwhelm an S-class person with force?

But at this moment, his skill leveled up seems to have become the ability to teleport across continents.

Is this possible?

Should I just have used it one more time to level up the skill?

Brown quickly shook his head and denied his thoughts.

He had already used four dragon hearts.

It was a car that I vaguely felt would not change much even if two more were used.

“Really…that’s amazing. Isn’t the Earth one step closer now?”

“I think so.”

“But how do you know where I am?”

“Ah… I didn’t use the skill by specifying a location, but I came because I felt your energy. When you open a wormhole, you can feel the energy of places you can travel to and people you have met. I think it would be difficult to move to a place I have never been to or where there are people I have never met.”

While Jihoon was telling Brown what he felt while using the skill, he was constantly crying out in his heart that he was lucky.

A parallel world called Murim, which I have been to once.

The energy of Yeonhwa that can be felt no matter how far away.

Be it the memory of the place, or her energy.

It felt like I could somehow reach it.

That is, if you level up your skills further.

It was clear that at this moment, I was one step closer to Yeonhwa.

“I’m glad you liked the gift.”

Brown smiles and says to Jihoon.

“I’m hungry. Is there a good restaurant nearby?”

Jihoon, who needed more conversation with Brown, was naturally making a meal.

***

“look at there! it’s Brown!!”

“shit! it’s real! he is ‘that’ Brown!”

middle of new york

A huge steakhouse

People could not hide their excitement as they watched Jihoon and Brown diligently cutting and eating a large steak.

“There are many quieter restaurants…but the food here is the best…”

“No. The most important thing is the taste. This steak is amazing.”

Jihoon puts a thick piece of steak dripping with juice into his mouth and chews it.

It was a flavor and texture I had never tasted before.

Brown took Jihoon to the most delicious steakhouse in New York.

Of course, as it is a good restaurant, we had no choice but to be surrounded by countless crowds.

“You’re famous.”

“Anyway…he’s an S-class hunter…why isn’t Hunter Kang known even in Korea? Many people think that there are no S-class hunters in Korea.”

“There won’t be any? Of course, I’m not S-rank”

“What kind of nonsense is that… Hunter Kang is definitely S-rank. That’s what Brown guarantees.”

“I’m an E-class hunter. It hasn’t been long since we officially measured it.”

Tuk

Brown loses the fork and knife he was holding.

When I think about it, it’s true that there was something strange about it.

Body-to-body conversation.

a fierce fight

Meanwhile, Brown could barely feel Jihoon’s magic.

Fortunately, when Jihoon used a strange movement skill, he only felt a little magical energy.

There was a high probability that Jihoon’s statement that the hunter level was E was not a lie.

“Then…what is that power…?”

Let’s just say that “ is not of this world. I may tell you when the time comes, but not now.”

also

He was a person with a secret.

He was by no means an ordinary person.

Although Brown did not tell everything to himself, he had no choice but to tell his story as if he were holding a rope.

“Actually… two dragon hearts cannot be considered solely a gift.”

“…?”

While chewing his steak, Jihoon was listening intently to what Brown said.

“As you may have heard from Ellie, four S-class hunters who used the dragon’s heart were attacked by unidentified beings. Hunter Kang also used the dragon’s heart, so he might become their target now.”

“Hmm”

Brown’s expression was contorted quite seriously, but Jihoon just made eye contact with him and chewed his steak.

“I’m sorry for getting you caught up in something dangerous-”

“I don’t care if it’s dangerous, do you have another heart from Tonygle?”

Looking at his calm expression, Brown lost the flow for a moment, but then belatedly understood what he was saying and answered.

“No. Dragon’s Heart is not a very common item. We gave both of them we had to Hunter Kang.”

“Then can I get it again? I’m saying that because I really need it.”

“Big Number has alliances with more than 20 large guilds around the world. Its information power and influence are also world-class. Again, whatever dragon is, if it shows up… Big Number will be the first to get that information.”

Brown was watching Jihoon’s eyes fill with hope in real time.

I don’t know what his secret was, but he seemed to really want Tonygle’s heart.

If done well, it seemed possible to recruit this incredible hunter as a big number.

Brown uses the momentum to push even harder.

“No guild in the world has collected 6 dragon hearts. If Hunter Kang wants the heart of a dragon, he will never be able to do it alone. Then there is only one place to choose from! Our Big Number Guild-”

“I can’t join the guild. I just hate belonging anywhere”

Well done

It was Ji-hoon who immediately threw cold water at Brown, who had been persuading him with high hopes.

But his subsequent proposal

“But you said your safety was in danger, right? Four other S-class people were also injured”

“Yes…that’s right…”

Why don’t you hire “ as your bodyguard? The reward is the dragon’s heart or information about it. how is it? Isn’t this a surplus business?”

Brown was dumbfounded and speechless.

You are an S-class hunter, so you want to hire a bodyguard?

However, Brown has already seen Jihoon’s power.

If you keep him by your side in any form, it will be a truly profitable business.

Whether you are a bodyguard or a guild member, what does the type of employment matter?

Brown tries to quickly conclude the story so as not to miss this opportunity that comes in a strange form.

“Bodyguard…good. I still really needed a bodyguard…hmm…”

“Oh? thank god! Since you are an S-class hunter, I thought you might refuse… but you thought well! I heard that other S-classes also suffered, because there is nothing more important than safety”

Brown continued talking to Jihoon, who was somehow excited.

“Then are you going to pack your bags and come right away? The accommodation is a luxury hotel, and everything is prepared by Big Number -”

“No. I will be in Korea. If you are in danger, please contact us and we will show up in an instant. With movement skills. Did you see it earlier?”

“…”

If you contact me while you’re doing your job, you’ll show up and protect me?

Is this a bodyguard?

Brown had no choice but to realize too late that he had been fooled by his own trick.
