episode_0149

Ji-hoon appears at the conference hall, looks around and approaches the president of the association.

“What is all this? What hearing were you doing?”

“… I’m sorry, Hunter Kang… It’s not something I can stop… ”

Jang Dae-han, the president of the association, shows off his acting while making a pretty disgusting expression.

Although he was the one who told Jihoon to come out, it was as if he had no choice…

However, the association president’s strategy was quite wise.

Now I was starting to understand it vaguely.

The fact is that being on the same side as Jihoon is good for both your mental and physical health.

“Are you the number 1 hunter in the rankings, Jihoon Kang?”

“Yes, what about it?”

“Can we ask you a few questions now? Since the fate of the nation may depend on it, I hope you will answer sincerely.”

“It seems like a pretty serious matter. Well…that’s right”

Although I knew some of the faces and details through the news,

Nevertheless, there were people who felt that their expectations were somehow misaligned with Jihoon’s extremely young and normal appearance.

(Is this the person who single-handedly defeated 60 Chinese hunters?)

(That’s right, how old are you? You look very young.)

(Not only that, he doesn’t look very powerful, does he? Doesn’t the grand president of the association next to him look much stronger?)

(That’s right… Hunters… I really don’t know.)

People who don’t know much about Jihoon other than his identity and face start whispering and criticizing each other.

Ranking matches held in secret

All Black Hunter-related work is also an unofficial operation.

A few months since Jihoon returned to the real world…

A lot has happened in the meantime, and Jihoon has also been acting quite rough,

In fact, there were not many people who directly saw Jihoon’s inaction.

Some of them were people who were close friends with Jihoon, such as Sojeong, Seolhyun, Kim Hanseong, and the president of the association.

The majority of the rest were beaten by Jihoon or cut somewhere.

There were only victims.

It was like that.

Even after rising to number one in the rankings, Jihoon’s existence itself was not widely known.

The atmosphere created by Jang Hyun-woo, who has maintained the first place in the rankings for over 10 years before Ji-hoon.

That may be why, strangely enough, he didn’t approach Jihoon directly here and there.

“Hmm…First of all, we don’t have much information about Hunter Jihoon Kang, so we don’t know what abilities he has or how powerful he is. So, I guess I have no choice but to ask directly. Hunter Jihoon Kang, is it really true that you suppressed 60 Chinese hunters by force and detained them illegally? Oh…I did it on my own.”

“What?”

“Yes?”

“What did you say just now?”

“A Chinese hunter alone…”

“No, then ”

“Fact of illegal detention-”

“Illegal detention? Illegal detention? Are you done?”

Shoot ahhh

The atmosphere in the conference room becomes cold, as if cold water had been poured on it.

Everyone in the room turns their head and asks each other what is going on.

“What kind of illegal detention are you talking about? We caught an armed group that invaded our territorial waters”

“Ah…no…that’s because the Chinese side showed us force as an expression of protest-”

“Ah~ If there is something I don’t like, is it okay to go into another country’s territory or territorial waters?”

“That…that…”

“Shall I go to China for a while?”

“No, wait!! No…no…we’ll edit the phrase.”

“Okay, what does illegal detention mean?”

Politicians who feel that they will not be easily hooked from the first step.

Some of them clicked their tongues and started gossiping about Jihoon.

(The young guy is holding onto a horse pod)

(Are all hunters like that?)

Of course, it ranks first, a seat reserved for only the strongest people in Korea.

Because Jihoon has risen to the top

Everyone was paying attention to some degree, but it seemed like they couldn’t completely abandon the arrogance typical of politicians.

“Hmm…Hmm…First of all, what Hunter Jihoon Kang did was very dangerous. No matter how much the Chinese hunters invaded our territorial waters, Hunter Jihoon Kang does not have the authority to respond. Why is there a military and why do state institutions exist? There are processes and procedures in everything.”

“……”

For some reason, Jihoon just listens without saying anything.

Does he think his logic is starting to work?

Representative member who increases the intensity of his remarks by giving more force

“China is the most powerful country and one of the most important countries not only within the Asian Hunter Union, but also globally. Our government always does its best in diplomacy with China and is careful to avoid even the slightest trouble. However, this time, Hunter Kang Ji-hoon’s independent personal actions put our government in a very difficult situation. Is there anything to refute this fact?”

“……”

Jihoon rests his chin and is lost in thought.

For now, I was just listening.

The president of the association, Jang Dae-han, who was sitting next to him, was so anxious at the sight that he almost went crazy.

However, those who did not know Jihoon well seemed to foolishly believe that their logic had succeeded in squeezing Jihoon and putting pressure on him.

“First of all…even if we can’t help what has already happened, it is illegal…no, we ask that you immediately release all the Chinese hunters you have. Also, a relic of an orc ritual. Return the spoils of Singapore Gate Break to the Chinese government. From what I heard, since we don’t know the effects, there’s no particular reason for us to have them -”

“Whether there is a reason or not, why should I give the things I picked up to China?”

It has begun.

The president of the association, Jang Dae-han, quietly walks away from Ji-hoon with an expression that says he knew this would happen and begins to look away to avoid making eye contact with him.

Looking at Jihoon’s sudden change in mood and the strange behavior of the association president…

The gathered politicians begin to feel something strange.

“Well…what do you mean? Are you saying that I can’t hand over the orc priest’s relics?”

“Of course. Why am I giving it to you? And I don’t have Chinese hunters with me. The kids were still unconscious after being beaten, so I was planning on handing them over to our military unit when they woke up.”

“No, we have to send it back to China-”

“Oh!! Are you Chinese? They are armed and have invaded our territorial waters! Why not just send it?”

It was then.

The door to the conference room opens, and a middle-aged man with interpretation earphones plugged in comes in along with four men who appear to be high-level hunters.

“Chinese Embassy in…?”

The person who entered was none other than the Chinese embassy, and it was amazing how outstanding their intelligence was.

How did he come to know about this hearing, which was being conducted in secret?

“Hmm…”

As soon as the embassy entered the conference room, they looked quite displeased and began to half-heartedly shake hands with Korean politicians.

And then soon

“Hunter Jihoon Kang? Since you had interpreter earphones, we did not bring a separate interpreter. I have something to tell you for a moment, do you mind?”

When Jihoon’s earphones translated the embassy’s words into polite language, Jihoon roughly gestured his approval and sent a message of approval.

“I will tell you straight to the point. Hunter Jihoon Kang. I need you to go to China with me. This time, you illegally detained 60 of our senior hunters, and launched a surprise attack on Hunter Lee Jayun in Singapore, seriously injuring her. Also, since you are not handing over the relics of the Orc priests whose ownership is in China, the Chinese government has decided that further rational dialogue is impossible.”

“Puhahahahaha!!”

As soon as Jihoon hears the Chinese embassy’s words, he starts applauding.

“What…what is it?”

The Chinese embassy also begins to be embarrassed by Ji-hoon’s attitude.

” Kuk … What kind of bullshit are you talking about so convincingly? Are you taking me with you? What are you?”

“We are still discussing extradition with the Korean government. but! Considering that Ryu Jin, ranked 4th in China, has been approved to enter the country for business purposes, we can see that the Korean government’s position has almost been decided.”

“4th place? What are you saying you came to catch me?”

“……That’s right. So, avoid unnecessary conflicts and be obediently together -”

“President of the Association”

Ji-hoon suddenly calls the president of the association.

He makes a fuss at his words and jumps in front of Jihoon, the president of the association.

“Did you call me, Hunter Kang”

Our politicians and the Chinese embassy felt strange looking at the president’s somewhat servile attitude.

“For the people here, can you make a profile file?”

“No…of course, our intelligence team would already have profile files for politicians like this, rather than creating new ones.”

Ppajik

The expressions of politicians become severely distorted at the words of the president of the association.

Jihoon approaches the Chinese embassy, leaving them behind, who do not hide their displeasure.

4 security hunters trying to stop

The Chinese embassy raised his hand to stop them, and Jihoon spoke to the Chinese embassy with a friendly face.

“Where is that 4th place friend now?”

“…Not only the 4th ranked Ryujin Hunter, but also the 11th ranked and 14th ranked players on the team-”

“Oh, so, where is everyone?”

For some reason, looking at Jihoon who is smiling, the Chinese embassy feels anxiety rising deep in his heart.
