Chapter Index

    The president of the association left the room several times to answer the phone.

    Every time he left with a dark expression while looking at the name that appeared on his phone screen, he would soon come back with an even darker expression.

    However, is it out of loyalty or responsibility?

    Somehow, it seemed like he didn’t pass up Jihoon’s number.

    “Who is it this time?”

    “It is said to be at the level of Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs…”

    “A vice minister is a vice minister, but what is a vice minister level?”

    “As this matter is not being handled through an official route, the people involved are quite secretive.”

    “Hmm…what do they say this time?”

    “……Same story as the previous people…”

    “The relics of the Oak Priest are Chinese Zhou?”

    “…yeah…”

    “Ugh, if this is the case, wouldn’t it be okay to say that they are Chinese government officials and not our government officials?”

    “From their perspective, it may be something that cannot be helped. If we analyze the changes in the relationship between the two countries that will be affected by this situation and consider the actual benefits, it is right to return it…”

    The president of the association subtly expresses his opinion to Jihoon.

    Please, let’s move on in a good way.

    but,

    Of course, there was no way the seed would work.

    “It was originally mine, so what do you mean by returning it?”

    “Ah…Ahaha…I missed my words…”

    The president of the association wipes away the cold sweat, and Ji-hoon quickly stands up, picking up the necklace, cane, and ring in one hand.

    “Ber…are you going already? Let’s talk a little…a little more and then stop…Ah! The Pu-erh car that came in this time-”

    “Drink a few cups of tea… I don’t think it will make much of a difference anyway, so if anything happens, please call me again. ah! These are the relics of an orc priest. Please look into some information related to these.”

    “Yes? The Malaysia Gate happened more than 10 years ago, and the details about the items from the Oak Priest have never been reported to the academic society-”

    “No, that’s right! I’m not asking you to look into it because it’s some kind of secret and inaccessible information… If it was in a book or paper, I would have looked it up myself, ugh”

    Jihoon looks at the association president with a frustrated expression.

    Wiping off his sweat repeatedly, he smiles and hurriedly answers and plans to convene a task force to collect information.

    I don’t think I’m the kind of person who deserves to be treated like this incompetent bastard…

    Although Jang Dae-han, the president of the association, feels very wronged, he greets Ji-hoon with a smile without showing the slightest hint.

    ***

    How many days have passed?

    As usual, Jihoon stopped by a hot dog food truck on his way to the academy.

    “Ugh…not really?”

    “That can’t be possible! What happened to your mouth?”

    “I am someone who has eaten hundreds of hot dogs, but this one doesn’t have that deep flavor”

    “What a deep taste! Aren’t you just making trouble for no reason?”

    “Hyeonji Yoo… I guess you don’t have any talent for hot dogs. Eliminated!”

    “Where is the elimination? My dad is going!”

    “Boss, kill this guy. I’m going to run out of customers”

    “Oppa!”

    Ji-hoon’s harsh evaluation causes Hyun-ji to run away, his face turning red.

    These days, he seems to be helping his father, the food truck owner, with his work and even making hot dogs himself.

    but,

    Regardless of Jihoon’s taste test, the front of the food truck was crowded.

    Contrary to Jihoon’s assessment, Hyunji was cute and charming, and he was a person who attracted a lot of customers.

    “Hot dog! Three hot dogs, please!”

    “Four! Please give me four!”

    “Huh? Are you here again? Are there four? You must really like hot dogs! Oppa is waiting over there, okay?”

    Hyun-ji, who was glaring at Ji-hoon and tying him up so that he could not go anywhere, began to receive orders for hot dogs.

    “Sseu-eup…Why is the food truck doing so well…It was a restaurant that only I knew about, but it shouldn’t be doing this well”

    “Are you holding a memorial service in front of the boss to tell him to ruin his business?”

    “Ah…Ahaha boss, sorry…kekeke”

    Jihoon takes another bite of the hot dog made by Hyunji and exchanges greetings again with the owner who approaches him.

    “Our local area is really bright these days. I think I’ve become more courageous since what happened last time, and it’s all thanks to you.”

    “Well, it’s true that it’s thanks to me. Tsk tsk… But you need to teach me how to make hot dogs again, the flavor of the cheese is definitely off”

    “Hahaha! Hyun-ji really insisted on telling me, but now that he is entering the academy next month, will he have time to learn hot dogs again?

    “What kind of academy does that little bastard want to go to”

    “Hyunji follows you so much… Jihoon oppa, Jihoon oppa, every day. I’m about to get a scab on my ear, so please take good care of me when I enter the academy. It’s shameless, but I’d like to ask you a favor”

    “Um…well, I keep hugging you, but if you hug me, I’ll think about it”

    “Hahaha”

    Da da da da da da da da da

    wobble

    As soon as Jihoon finished speaking, Hyunji suddenly ran over and hugged him.

    “Ah, a little! Get away”

    “Corre me that my hot dog is delicious! Otherwise, I will never let you go!”

    Hyunji was hanging around and looking very excited, like a child riding an amusement ride.

    of course

    The male customers who came to the food truck to have a word with Hyun-ji were glaring at him very disapprovingly.

    “He must be your real brother, right?”

    “Have you ever seen a younger brother being hugged like that by his older brother?”

    “What on earth is that guy!”

    Jihoon, who was receiving unpleasant looks from his eyes, takes out his phone from his pocket.

    ” Hello-”

    -This is a big problem. China has invaded!!!

    Even without looking at the name on the screen, it was Jang Dae-han, the president of the association.

    “Oh, it was quiet for a few days, but then he called me again… or rather, what? Is China invading? Are you saying there was a war? Is it peaceful here?”

    -That’s not it!!!

    The voice of Association President Jang Dae-han was extremely urgent.

    -A Chinese ship has invaded our territorial waters in the West Sea. As usual, I thought it was a fishing boat fishing illegally in our territorial waters… but it wasn’t, it was a show of force! We confirmed that there were 60 Class A hunters inside. It appears that they brought with them the same number of personnel who had been dispatched to Singapore Gate Break. In a symbolic way! Ha…what should I do, Hunter Kang? This is the international dispute I was worried about…”

    Just by hearing the voice of the president of the association, Jihoon could clearly see how desperate he looked as if he were about to die.

    “Is there anyone out nearby?”

    -RM Team Leader Kim is out at the location. Our warship obtains information about Chinese ships and conducts warning broadcasts –

    “Team leader Kim? Did you get beaten up by me at the association before?”

    -Ah…yes, that’s Team Leader Kim.

    “Hmm… that’s good, just wait for now. I’ll roughly solve it”

    Jihoon hangs up the phone, takes out the interpretation earphones from his pocket and puts them in his ears.

    He kept the earphones he received from the president of the association in Singapore without returning them.

    “Team Leader Kim…Team Leader Kim…”

    Ji-hoon opens the portal, recalling the energy of Team Leader Kim, whom he had already encountered once.

    ***

    “What the fuck is this! Uh…? A…Hunter Jihoon Kang…?”

    On a warship floating in the West Sea

    Team Leader Kim, who was watching the situation closely with a telescope, was startled when a person suddenly jumped out of a portal that had formed on the deck.

    “Hunter Kang… How are you here?”

    “I came because the president of the association was crying so much…Where is it, Chinese ship”

    “Ah…ah! It’s over there!”

    Ji-hoon, who was given a telescope by Team Leader Kim, looks at the Chinese pear that has fallen far away.

    It looked like an ordinary fishing boat, but with dozens of hunters showing off their magic power, it looked threatening to anyone.

    As the president of the association said, it was absolutely clear that it was a show of force.

    “Hmm…is this our territorial waters? Isn’t it a warning or something?”

    “Ah, it is definitely our territorial waters. That Chinese fishing boat has violated our territorial waters for a long time. However, seeing as there are a lot of high-level hunters on board… I think it would be best to resolve the issue through dialogue. If there is an armed conflict, it could be a really dangerous situation – huh? Hunter Kang?…Hunter Kang?”

    Instead of explaining the situation, Team Leader Kim turned his head eagerly to find Jihoon, who had disappeared before his eyes.

    ***

    “What the fuck!”

    “Oh… you are interpreting as fuck? Is there a similar curse in China? Or did you analyze the nuance?”

    “Are you Korean? Where did it suddenly appear? What is your identity? ”

    A Chinese hunter who was yelling at Ji-hoon clutches his stomach, foams at his mouth, and passes out.

    I don’t know when the ship was kicked, but no Chinese hunter on board could follow Jihoon’s movements with their eyes.

    “Ha…a Korean hunter attacked!! The Korean hunter attacked first!! Raise everyone’s horsepower!!”

    The shipboard is instantly filled with tension reminiscent of a battlefield.

    The 60 Chinese advanced hunters who had increased their magical power began to pour out skills and killing attacks without hesitation towards Jihoon, who was standing calmly.

    ***

    a few minutes later

    “What is this? Mr. Kang Hunter…”

    “Well, they are invaders, right? Do you have anything to tie? Handcuffs or something”

    “Ah…no…you captured all 60 Chinese hunters…you shouldn’t be doing this…it really shouldn’t be…”

    Even when the Chinese fishing boat approached the warship that Team Leader Kim was on, he could not have predicted this situation.

    I couldn’t even imagine what it would be like to see 60 Chinese hunters all collapsed on the deck.

    Team leader Kim quickly picks up the phone.

    “Lord… Chairman of the Association… We’re in big trouble… Hunter Kang… attacked the Chinese fishing boat… He knocked out all the Chinese Hunters… Now, what should we do? ”

    Jihoon was not someone who preferred conversation.

    The president of the association had chosen the wrong person to ask for help.
