I’m sorry. I ask Director Kim Seong-tae, who is standing there with a helpless expression on his face.

“So… , the Ministry of Land Security took Jincheon?”

“… Yes.”

The Ministry of Homeland Security is in fact the vanguard of Hexagram, which dreams of overthrowing the country.

What this means is that the enemy that you worked so hard to catch has returned to its hideout.

“Seu-eup.”

This is a bit over the line.

How ridiculous must it have looked for me to not give up on this and look for an angle to rescue it?

Director Seongtae Kim hastily lowers his head as his expression crumples in discomfort.

“I’m really sorry. There is no shame. I’ll figure it out somehow, so take some time… .”

“No, no.”

If he was about to fall down in just a moment, I grabbed his shoulders and forced him to stand up.

“It’s okay, so get up quickly.”

This was sincere.

I wasn’t angry at all with him or the association.

What is the guilt of the one who was robbed?

Those who arbitrarily took what was in someone else’s hands are bad people.

Moreover, I know how much they took care of my convenience, so there’s no way they would be angry about something like this.

“You don’t have to feel too sorry for me. It wasn’t taken away because the association wanted it, right?”

“Well, still.”

“Hey, it’s okay. And because of me, you don’t have to have a confrontation with Guk Soo-bu.”

He said he would come up with a plan, but this was probably just something he said based on my perception.

The association probably knows.

Even if you feel a little dirty right now, it’s best to keep your head down.

“I will take care of it, so don’t worry about me, just worry about the association.”

His eyes widen slightly.

“Really… , Would you mind?”

“Yes, it’s really okay.”

Actually, it was okay, it wasn’t a problem.

When I think about it calmly, my current association is not of much help to me.

The association has accumulated enough karma to tackle the growing noodle department.

Even in a single game, there are patches that users are happy with and patches that they dislike.

The association was no different.

While there were policies that were good for both hunters and the public, there were also policies that seemed too busy looking after their own interests.

And isn’t it true that people remember one thing they did wrong more vividly than ten things they did right?

For that reason, the current association must keep its head down.

Don’t be attracted to the aggro of people who are ready to bite anyone.

“I’ll just go.”

The reason I came all the way here is because of Jincheon.

Without him, my work here is over.

Before turning your back and going back the way you came.

he asked me

“Are you planning to visit the noodle department in person?”

“… … .”

As expected, you are very perceptive.

* * *

You can skip it at least once.

To be precise, it would be better to say that it is an area of self-reflection rather than moving on.

Why did you get hit here?

What should I have done to avoid getting caught?

What should I focus on in the future to avoid experiencing the same thing over and over again?

“Yes, you can think of it as just a bitter pill at least once.”

But not twice.

Have you ever been stabbed in the back by the same person twice and stayed still?

To put it bluntly, it has never existed even once in his entire life.

“If you stay still, you should know how to do things in moderation, tsk.”

He knows that since childhood, he has suffered from a lot of criticism and ridicule just because he was an orphan.

Just being patient is not the answer.

When I was young, I endured bullying all the time without even knowing it, but it was so hard for me to get bullied so much that it went too far.

From then on, he made a promise.

It would be best not to get hurt, but if you do, let’s endure it just once.

But let’s never look at it twice.

Kim Do-jin flew through the sky and reached the Ministry of Land Security Office building located in Jung-gu.

He lightly lands on the ground and clicks his tongue as he looks at the huge government building in front of him.

“It’s dazzling.”

The site and buildings are too large for a newly established ministry.

This was a clear indicator of the current position of the Ministry of National Defense.

The future of South Korea’s security is growing rapidly thanks to the support of both the people and the ruling party.

people say

Every time they work, the security of the Republic of Korea becomes healthier.

It makes me laugh so much every time I see it.

“It’s not even funny, really.”

People are not to blame.

It’s something that can’t be helped.

Because you know their identity, but other people don’t.

However, I am just dizzy from their amazingly planned tactics that delve into people’s hearts.

We cannot just criticize them and expose their true identity.

While everyone is cheering for them, they suddenly come out criticizing them?

You will face a backlash right away.

This is what it means to change a security system that relies on one or several people.

This means reducing S-class dependence and making the group stronger.

That is no different from saying that the status of the S class will be reduced at the same time.

No matter how much I talk about it now, it’s obvious that it will be taken as a groundless accusation from a greedy S-class hunter who is worried about my influence decreasing.

Moreover, they are truly devoted to this country, hiding their true intentions.

“It looks like you are planning to take a breather and strengthen your inner strength first… .”

In order to expose the reality, the current image must be shattered.

Hunters who dedicate themselves to the safety of the country and its people.

Unlike other hunters who only talk about money, the perception that he is a hero with a true sense of duty.

You can only stand a chance of winning by stripping yourself of things, either by risking this or that, or by doing the work yourself and covering it up.

“Sounds fun.”

Kim Do-jin smiles, curling up one corner of his mouth.

I was curious.

How will they turn out?

Also, how will you respond to their numbers?

There is a fundamental difference between Kim Do-jin before the attack and Kim Do-jin who dreams of revenge after the attack.

“Let’s go in quickly.”

By now, most people would have realized that they had entered the government building.

At a leisurely pace, we enter the largest building in the center of the government building.

People in a hurry.

A man in uniform goes to the desk where he stands and conveys his thoughts.

“I came to see the Minister of Noodles.”

The man looks up and is startled when he sees Kim Do-jin’s face.

After all, it was natural.

When I heard that he had suddenly come to meet the Minister of National Defense, I thought he must have gone crazy, but I was surprised to see an S-class hunter suddenly standing in front of me.

he asked with a trembling voice.

“Ho, do you have an appointment?”

“No. I just came because I had something urgent to see.”

“That… , Yes, I will contact you right away.”

If he was an ordinary person or even the slightest bit clueless, he would have rejected it right away.

Currently, the Minister of National Defense has a very busy schedule.

But Kim Do-jin was different.

He is not an ordinary S-class hunter, but a next-generation prospect who attracts the world’s attention.

Because I don’t know what kind of reprimand I would receive if I reversed his steps without any confirmation.

When I dialed the number with trembling fingers and called the secretary’s office, I immediately got the answer I wanted.

-“The Minister said he would meet Hunter Kim Do-jin, so send him right away.”

It seems they were already aware of his appearance.

“Oh, I understand.”

A call that hangs up as soon as it is answered.

He immediately left the desk and led Kim Do-jin to the elevator.

“Just go up to the 8th floor.”

“Thank you.”

“Oh, no. I hope you have a meaningful time!”

The elevator closes with a polite greeting.

A faint smile is drawn on his lips as he stands alone inside.

“It’s a meaningful time.”

There will probably be deep meaning exchanged.

Of course, it remains to be seen whether that direction will be good or bad.

Ding!

The elevator opens upon reaching the 8th floor.

Beyond him, an elegantly dressed woman stands and bows her head towards him as he comes out.

“Welcome, Hunter Dojin Kim. I will guide you to the Minister.”

The woman walking ahead knocks on the large door at the end of the hallway.

dripping!

“Minister, I brought Hunter Kim Do-jin with me.”

“Please come in.”

rattly

The door finally opens.

A man is working alone in a room that is too large for one person.

A middle-aged man who appears to be in his mid-40s.

Take a moment to count.

‘How old was Mr. Maenggonggi?’

I was in my mid-40s when I retired, so I would be in my mid-50s by now.

Compared to back then, his face hasn’t aged much.

Even the body is solid.

My energy has actually become stronger than when I retired.

Kim Do-jin, who felt this, had a strange look in his eyes.

‘Look at this guy.’

Even at the time of his retirement, he was in A class, not far from S class.

His energy has become stronger than before, which means he has risen to the S rank after retirement.

However, it was not revealed.

Even though it would have received more attention if it had just been revealed that it had become S-class.

‘That means… , Was he already bought before he became S-class?’

Or maybe he became S-class thanks to the power of the organization.

Either way, he seems to have deliberately humbled himself.

I guess he was just maintaining his position without any major incidents until one day an order was issued from the organization.

When a well-known person leads such a change, antipathy or suspicion is bound to arise.

Isn’t this especially true for members of the National Assembly?

Because their image is so bad, even if they come with good policies, they start to be suspicious.

Are you pretending to do it because you have some kind of agenda or because you did something wrong?

But he is unknown.

An unlucky member of the National Assembly who introduced many good policies for the security of the Republic of Korea in the past, but was repeatedly criticized.

Perhaps as that image came to light later, he became a person of integrity and innocence.

Maeng Ki-yong, hiding his body trained to the limit in a suit, stands up and approaches.

“This is your first time seeing you like this, right? This is Maeng Ki-yong.”

He holds out his hand with a friendly smile.

Kim Do-jin also joins hands with a bright smile on his face, as if he will not lose.

“This is Kim Do-jin.”

A light move passed between joined hands.

As Maeng Ki-yong’s subtle magic flowed through his palm, Kim Do-jin locked himself inside.

Not completely, but only partially.

So that the opponent cannot fully understand my skills.

The joined hands fall.

“Let’s take a seat first.”

“Of course.”

Two people sitting facing each other.

Meng Ki-yong asked.

“Okay. What brought you here out of the blue?”

It contained the meaning of rebuke.

It’s as if it’s rude to show up and see someone without making an appointment.

Kim Do-jin responded to this.

“I heard that the National Investigation Department took the assassin who was being detained by the association.”

“Ah… , if you are talking about the villain who tried to assassinate Hunter Kim Do-jin, then that is correct. This time, our National Investigation Department has taken over special investigative authority from the association.”

The answer is as if the criminal has been handed over along with investigative authority, so what is the problem?

It’s not wrong.

However, it changes if you are involved in it.

“I heard that you were handed over the investigative authority. But as you know, he tried to kill me.”

“Yes. We already understand the seriousness of the situation and are putting a lot of effort into preparing for interrogation… .”

“No.”

Kim Do-jin cuts him off, trying to prevent him from interfering somehow.

“There’s no need to put too much effort into it, I just want to interrogate him myself.”

His face hardens slightly.

“I remember that there was no such authority among the powers of an S-class hunter.”

It’s not your job to step forward.

Don’t cross the line and step back.

Kim Do-jin responded to the warning that was not a warning with a cheeky smile.

“I don’t have the authority to do that, but the Minister can give me enough.”

Is there anything that can’t be done?

Shut up and just give it to me.

Although he was smiling, Meng Ki-yong shook his head resolutely at his coercive attitude.

“That won’t work.”

An unusual current began to swirl between the two.
