Chapter Index

    Jihoon, who had been lost in thought for a moment, opens his eyes.

    Sheron, naked and kneeling, swallows nervously and watches Jihoon’s mouth.

    Finally, after what seemed like eons, Jihoon’s mouth dropped.

    “Umm…well? It doesn’t really make sense, does it?”

    thud

    Sharon feels her heart drop to the floor and her entire body turn cold.

    If you were wondering if your body temperature was dropping because you were taking off all your clothes, that wasn’t the case.

    I just feel like my blood isn’t flowing properly.

    Before the frightened woman could utter her next words, Jihoon’s body moved first.

    “Eup…now…wait…”

    When and how did it move?

    Sharon’s eyes couldn’t follow the movements of Jihoon, who was standing right in front of her.

    Now, Jihoon, holding her naked neck with one hand, lightly raises his hand.

    Sheren’s feet leave the ground.

    “Wow…please…my skills are useless…”

    “Can you pick up and use everything just because it is useful? You’re in the same company with these weird guys who think they’re grids or something… ah!”

    Jihoon’s eyes flashed as if he suddenly had a good idea.

    Then, he inserts the power into Sheron’s abdomen.

    “Uuuuuk…Uuuuk”

    Just before Sharon, who had been beaten, began to vomit her entire stomach,

    Jihoon holds her in one hand and throws it next to Malik, who was being treated by a healer.

    “Hee Iik!”

    Malik catches the flying Sheron, no, blocks it.

    “Woo-eup…please…please…”

    Before she knew it, Sharon had pushed away Malik’s hand, adjusted her posture again, knelt down, and was ejaculating toward Jihoon.

    The tears falling endlessly from her eyes and the cold sweat flowing from her forehead.

    It’s been a long time since his proud face turned into a very messed up mess.

    “Malik, do you want to live?”

    “Yes? Ah…Teacher! Save me… please save me… please!”

    “Why should I do that?”

    “Please…I will do whatever you ask me to do, so please…”

    Malik, who was wearing another pair of interpreter earphones brought by his secretary, understood Jihoon’s words and eagerly answered, kneeling along with Sharon next to him.

    Jihoon’s eyes turn to Sharon this time.

    “Do you want to live too?”

    “Ugh…black…please…please…”

    This time Jihoon starts talking, looking at the two in turns.

    “Let’s wait and see whether you guys can survive or not. As this woman said, if you keep proving your usefulness… they might just let you live…”

    Ji-hoon looked somewhat awkward, telling lies while speaking.

    Ji-hoon wondered if Yeon-hwa’s words about being obvious when she lied weren’t just words.

    “Keuhm..hmmm…! Anyway…First of all, Malik, you seem to be in a pretty important position in the grid because of your connections with the political world, right?”

    “Yes!! Of course! Grid’s leaders will never abandon me! They-”

    “Oh, stop talking nonsense”

    “…I’m sorry.”

    “First, Malik, you buy a building, decorate it roughly, and then call in all the grid leaders and executives and gather them all”

    “…Yes?”

    “Ask back?”

    “Oh…no…no…”

    “Keuhm… Whenever Malik gathers people like that, Sharon, who was hiding, shows up and puts on a show. How can you?”

    “…?”

    Sharon’s eyes slightly tilt as if she can’t understand what Jihoon is saying, but then they get so big that they almost pop out.

    “That…that! We are told to remove the grid ourselves-”

    “Yes. I understand quickly. I don’t have time to look for where those scumbags are hiding… and I can’t find out who is who, right? As I said earlier, it was a poisonous fog… It seemed like anyone in the same space would get caught unless they were fast enough, but Malik was in charge of finding the location and making enticements, and Sharon was taking on the role of the sword-dancing bastard. You can do it, right?”

    “Teacher!!! This is ridiculous. How could the two of us…just die-”

    “Then do you want to die now?”

    Jihoon gently squeezes the bag around his waist with calm eyes.

    Hehehe

    Malik and Sheran, who are on their knees, are shocked and break down.

    Just for a moment.

    “Ha…I can do it. If you just let me live…I will do it.”

    Sheron speaks as if he has made a firm decision.

    “…Put some clothes on…Are you not ashamed?”

    “Ah…ah!”

    Sharon lifts the torn tights next to her and tries hard to cover herself.

    “Ah! Before gathering the leaders and killing them, you must check one thing and then kill them”

    “…?”

    “…?”

    “Heart of the Dragon. Whether it’s Igzel or Tonygl… make sure to check if they have the heart of a dragon”

    “It seemed like you were looking for the dragon’s heart since last time…do you…don’t know?”

    Although these words were just lightly spoken by Malik, Jihoon immediately figured out that something was hidden between the lines.

    It was a common occurrence.

    Something the bad guys have more information about.

    People who do everything they can to get their hands on information that ordinary people can’t even think about.

    For example, Belcryon’s poison.

    An ordinary, good hunter would not be able to use that kind of poison, or even know that it exists.

    So, it was Belcryon’s poison that was spreading among the Black Hunters.

    Jihoon guessed that he could get some important information from Malik and spoke calmly.

    “Do you know anything about the dragon’s heart…?”

    “Ah…that’s…I didn’t see it with my own eyes, so it’s not accurate…”

    “Don’t talk nonsense, just tell me everything you know. Every single one.”

    As Jihoon’s cold, sunken eyes stared intently at Malik, Malik, whose breathing became more difficult, was unable to give a straight answer.

    But at that time, Saren, who was next to him, took Malik’s words and came out.

    “Heart of the Dragon! When the hunter who used it dies, it comes back from the body and returns to normal! I’ve seen it before!”

    Cooung

    Jihoon opens his eyes in surprise.

    Things that seemed unclear began to make sense.

    What I heard from Brown and Ellie.

    The story is that several S-class hunters around the world have already died after being attacked by unknown people.

    It was said that most of the dead people were supposed to be Dragon Heart users… that was the story.

    It seemed like a world with more darkness than I thought.

    That viciousness that does not care about any means…

    With the dragon’s heart obtained that way, I couldn’t leave them alone as they became stronger.

    I have to take it…

    Jihoon left the office after giving a few more orders to Malik and Ellie.

    new york steak house

    The attention of those enjoying a meal is focused on the entrance door.

    “Brown…it’s brown”

    “So…I heard you’re a regular at this restaurant, so you come really often.”

    Big Number’s head, S-rank Hunter Brown, had entered the store.

    He turns his head to look for someone and walks towards a table, waving happily.

    “Hunter Kang!! When did you come? I was so surprised when I received the call that I rushed over.”

    “Brown. hello. I see it often. I felt like I was always getting something to eat, so I invited him over to treat me to a meal.”

    “Wow. I am honored that Hunter Kang invited me for a meal.”

    “No. I heard from Seolhyun that you provided a lot of money, right?”

    “Ah, Hunter Yu! We only paid reasonable compensation in terms of big numbers. Don’t worry about it.”

    “Let’s eat first. I ordered what I had before.”

    Following Jihoon’s guidance, the two engrossed themselves in the meal, diligently cutting steak and clinking wine glasses.

    “Seolhyun, you are now the guild representative. It’s Asung Guild, and Brown helps me a lot.”

    “Yes? Were you not an academy cadet? You just became the head of the guild?”

    “Yes…well, that’s how it happened.”

    “… That kind of nonsense… Ah, since he is with Hunter Kang, it doesn’t make sense. Big Number will formally propose an alliance.”

    “Yes, thank you. Oh and…”

    Jihoon pauses for a moment and continues speaking with a serious expression.

    “Actually, I called you today to give you some information.”

    “Information? What…?”

    “I think I found out why S-class hunters are killed. It is said that when the user of the dragon’s heart dies, the heart used is restored intact from the corpse.”

    terrestrial

    Brown loses the fork and knife he was holding.

    “That…what is that…”

    “It seems like solid information. I heard there are people who saw it with their own eyes”

    “Wow…”

    Brown’s eyes become infinitely deeper.

    I felt like I had finally found the clue to an unanswerable problem.

    Brown couldn’t be happier with this newly acquired information.

    It was confirmed that there were people attempting to take his life.

    Until now, it was just a guess, but now I am certain.

    “I also plan to set up a base in New York and travel back and forth often. Let’s strengthen information cooperation even more in the future. Let me give you an address-”

    “base? Hunter Kang, did you buy a house in New York?”

    “No, building…”

    “Yes? Suddenly? Even in New York, the prices of buildings are still high…”

    “Malik…”

    “Malik? Why is Malik…Ah!…Then, do you have any information about the heart of the dragon?”

    “That too, Malik…”

    “…What kind of money do you pay for the steak here? I don’t think you’ve ever exchanged dollars”

    “To Malik…”

    “……”

    Brown is silent for a moment and then asks carefully.

    “Hunter Kang is not a Black Hunter, right?”

    Jihoon couldn’t answer his reasonable doubts right away.

    I think I should look up the definition of Black Hunter separately.
