Chapter 230: Background Fight – 2

#1

“Dad, it’s me, Jinhyun.”

“Hey son, so, your task went flawlessly?”

It was a vague question without a specific subject but he knew what his dad was referring to.

“Yes. Thanks to you, I could easily capture her. ”

“Okay. I’m glad. Even though she was registered as a villain and her skill was great, she was too kind-hearted to attack when there are civilians around”

He nodded at his father’s words. The woman villain he arrested today was asked by his father specifically. She was technically a villain, but she has been out for a long time and there were times she actually helped the government, which was why she was one of those that were not being actively pursued.

This arrest was just a monstrous act to raise the statistics of his performance.

“Yes, yes, but father, I have a question for you,”

“Tell me.”

“Are there any Hunter licenses with only one gold star on a black background?”

In his mind, he recalled the color and shape of what Jaehwang claimed to be a license card.

“What are you saying? Golden star on a black background? There can be no such thing,” Lee Sangman replied.

“But would it be possible though…”

“Nope, all the hunters around the world had the same license card. It could also never be used once changed.”

“Did something happen?”

“Yes, actually,”

He explained his current situation as his father’s question but contrary to what he had expected, his father seemed uncomfortable.

“He dared to look at a Hunter Secretariat Arrest leader? And … called the person who gave him the card? He sounds like he has something he trusts in.”

“Yes and the guy who had that card didn’t seem ordinary. Isn’t it impossible that he doesn’t know any common sense?”

“No, sometimes, people like Debauchers, often play with license cards. Of course, if you do that, the card will be lost and you will have to reissue it.”

The word Debaucher made Jonghyun’s mind clear.

If that confidence comes from being a natural awakener like Debaucher, it all made sense.

“Is it? Great, I was worried about it myself.” He let out a sigh of relief.

But his father, Lee Sang-man, also overlooked one thing. He might have thought of himself as neutral in terms of his stand but from above, they identified him as a former general secretary. As a result, when the new Secretary-General was recently inaugurated, he was excluded and was not given notice that a special Hunter License card for the world’s only 10-star hunter was issued.

As he was arranging his thoughts in his head, Lee Sang-man said, “but you’ll never know. I’ll come over.”

“Huh? No. It is not big enough of a deal for you to come.” Jinhyun frowned. His father was overprotective of him. He couldn’t feel it when he was younger, but he realized that his overprotection didn’t help him at all. It was as if his father still didn’t trust him, he felt like a child that cannot do his job without the help of an adult.

“Don’t nag on me and give me your location. I need to see what’s going on.”

Whether or not he knew what Jinhyun was thinking, Sangman was stubborn.

Sangman had been building up stress lately. The emergence of the 10-star Hunter was raising the status of the Korean Hunter Secretariat, and now, there were more above him he had to pay attention to. These new authorities were so clean that many things that he had done before were no longer possible.

He deprived him of his power over human resources, one of his most beloved powers.

The Hunter Secretariat was almost like a national agency. Although the shares are owned in half by the World Hunter Secretariat, the operation is held by the Korean government. Since it is associated with the hunter-related industry that lays golden eggs, it is one of the most popular occupations due to its civic nature and high pay grade.

Even now, as the status has risen, the secretariat has been the symbol of envy. That’s why so many people tried to be seen by him who was heavily involved in human resources. He was the only one of those who could place anyone anywhere.

It was a Korean win-win strategy because he was able to get a good place, and he was able to give good positions to those who were friendly to him.

‘What’s wrong with that anyway?’

People insist that nepotism was wrong, but in fact, it was something that a man in power must do in order to work more smoothly.

Of course, there may be some monetary interests or preferences somewhere, but it’s like a lubricant that makes each other’s faith more certain. By sharing preferences and interests with each other, they were building a strong bond of “giving together.”

However, Invincible was trying to reform the Korean Hunter Secretariat from above. Of course, he did not intend to resist the flow, the old power didn’t last long anyway and he himself was one of them. The first example was the dismissal of the former secretary-general and he figured that he will soon end up like that. So, he chose to put his son in the office with all the remaining power he had before he was evicted.

‘How hard did I try to get him in!?’

Jinhyun resembled him a lot, he had good looks along with an excellent brain. He was still young, so he couldn’t expect much leadership from him but he was a decent hunter. Sangman will do his best to get up to the post and make a connection with the prominent economic leaders.

When he retires, his young son will become pro-Invincible and make an alliance with Jaehwang.

Since they were similar in age, he also planned to push his image as the next generation’s leader who can keep up with Jaehwang.

Jinhyun was a spoiled son. Sangmin knew that he protected him a little too much but he figured it was the most critical time for him.

“In this world, you always have to be extra careful. Don’t forget how important you are. This time, quietly follow my words.”

“Yes.”

Jinhyun shook his head in the stubbornness of his father. There was no way to convince him otherwise so he just sent his location to him before putting his phone back in his pocket. Now, he just had to wait.

“How’s did it go, brother?”

He sighed lightly and answered, “father said that he’ll come here.”

“What?”

Their eyes widened at his words. Jinhyun’s father, Lee Sangman was not at this level to come to take care of his son.

“Wow!”

They once again thought that they did well by sucking up to Jinhyun. Sangman must be taking them so seriously that he would come over for such a small thing.

Jinhyun, however, warned his men. “When he comes, you must be careful.”

“Yes. Okay.”

‘I do not have much faith in these two, but when my father appears, they should be quiet.’ Jinhyun looked at Jaehwang with his side as he thought to himself, ‘Please feel the reality of a poor guy’s world.’

The face of Goongi, who was sitting on the bench with a boring look, was then distorted. Something appeared and blocked her eyes from Jaehwang.

He was now sitting on a bench quite far from her while reading a book.

If the Secretary-General would come in later, his identity would be revealed. He didn’t care about it so much, but Goongi did not want to be talked about.

The one who blocked her view was one of the Arrester men, who were quite tall and was a pretty boy. There was a slight smile on his mouth as if he was confident in his appearance. Of course, it was just one of the male humans for Goongi, who experienced many in her long life.

“Move.”

He hesitated a little after that cold remark but he was able to recover from that in the same moment.

“Oh, sorry.” He shook his head with a smile. He naturally moved to Goongi’s side and before her harsh words came out, he asked, “Is that your boyfriend?”

Rather than giving him an answer, she did not even turn her head. She perfectly ignored him.

“That person, it’s too bad.”

Whether she listened to him or not, he shook his head as if he felt bad for Jaehwang and that’s when Goongi turned her head at him.

“What are you saying?”

“Haha… I don’t know what your boyfriend believes, but our leader is not just anyone. Depending on what he does today, your boyfriend’s life might be twisted.”

“Huh?”

Goongi slightly frowned at his answer. It was unpleasant for her to hear. How dare he discuss superiority in front of Jaehwang? He was more superior and honorable than anyone else in the world. He was the head of Martial Arts House and the owner of herself, a demigod.

He misunderstood his reaction.

“I don’t think it’s going to go smoothly in my eyes.”

She didn’t even care to respond, but he misunderstood as if she agreed with him.

“But you don’t have to be nervous. There’s a way … ”

The man sneaked up to Gunggi with his hand about to reach his shoulder but…

*sound of bones breaking*

With an eerie cough, his wrist was bent unnaturally in the air.

“Huh?”

At first, he was unaware of what had happened to his hands.

His imagination was too weak to accept it. His hands were twisting outward as if they were swept away by an invisible vortex.

His bones began to crack once more and once his shattered forearm made a 360-degree turn, he wailed.

“Ahhhhh!”

His arms and body leaned back, but his forearms were already as mushy as those of mollusks. All the people saw at that moment was a man who had his arms twisted.

“OMGG!”

“What is that?! Why is his arm…”

Blood and bone fragments started to burst out from his arm.

“Ughfff….”

He grabbed his forearm, thinking that he would die if he didn’t do something. Then, he looked around, he did not even suspect her for doing that.

Soon, he thought such a monster cannot be in the middle of the city so with his last remaining energy as his vision began to blur, he looked at Goongi. “Please, heal me.”

He had seen Goongi heal people before and thought that she was a healer, but Goongi gazed at her with a cold smile.

“Why should I?”

“Huh?”

“Get away from me before I tear off that disgusting face of yours.”

“Hey…”

He stepped back, forgetting the pain from his arms and at once, her cold brutality drove away all his thoughts.
