The Wise Cleaning Life Of A Returning Genius Hunter [EN]: Chapter 201

[International Hunter Association Resumes Acquisition of Karma Corporation.]

[From Acquisition Battle to All-Out War: Hong Kong Caught Between Two Organizations, a ‘Scene of Carnage’]

[Hong Kong Under Lockdown, China Association Side Says ‘Unavoidable Choice’]

[Chairman Li Jeijing Threatens ‘To Hold Both Organizations Heavily Responsible’]

[International Association Withdrawal? Third Force Being Created? International Community’s Attention Focused]

China Association Headquarters.

Not long after Chairman Li Jeijing controlled the media.

“What are you doing?”

As expected, PB Corporation, which had been silent, finally contacted first.

Chairman Li smirked and replied.

“Is there a problem? Everything is true.”

“…Now that it seems difficult to fix, are you going to pass everything on to us?”

“Then you shouldn’t have been greedy from the beginning and just done as you were asked.”

“Ha, hahaha!”

Representative Emma laughed loudly and continued.

“You’re crazy, aren’t you?”

“……”

“If you keep this up, you’ll die without anyone knowing.”

Li Chairman swallowed hard, realizing it was not a joke.

But he soon opened his mouth, pretending to be calm.

“If the authorities find out that we failed to recapture, we’re dead anyway. If we’re going to die anyway, we should at least try to survive.”

“Okay, fine, let’s say you turned us into enemies to live a few more days…”

Representative Emma replied sullenly.

“Is this really going to end by just blaming us? You were the one who asked for the Hong Kong raid to recapture the branch, and you authorized the airport bombing. Are you confident that those won’t leak out?”

“The International Association can’t use us as an excuse anyway. Rather than denying such facts, if they say we instigated it, it would be admitting that the raid was real.”

Representative Emma’s words were cut off for a moment.

That’s because Chairman Li had accurately hit the mark.

“…What about the people from the Hong Kong branch and your subordinates? I don’t know if they’ll keep their mouths shut.”

“Since we’ve sealed it off anyway, there’s no way for them to get out of Hong Kong alive. What happened there will be buried there forever.”

At that moment, a snickering sound was heard from beyond the phone.

“Well. I don’t know if it’ll go as planned.”

“What…?”

“Haven’t you heard the news yet? That Kim Junwoo took command.”

“I know. But what… what’s going to change? No matter how strong he is, it’s impossible to revive Hong Kong unless he has 100 bodies [referring to clones or immense power].”

“Haha, hahaha! You don’t know anything about that man.”

“…?”

Representative Emma said as if she found it truly absurd.

“The real reason why Kim Junwoo is scary is not because he is strong or has excellent skills.”

“Then…?”

“People. People follow that man. That’s why Kim Junwoo is really scary.”

“What nonsense are you talking about?”

“If you don’t understand, that’s fine. You’ll find out soon enough.”

Chairman Li frowned at the incomprehensible words.

“Anyway, I understand your intentions. From now on, the International Association will not interfere with the Chinese Association in any way. Take care of yourself.”

“That’s what I wanted.”

Chairman Li ended the call with those words.

With this, the tail was cut off well.

Well, even if the recapture failed… at least the worst-case scenario was avoided since it became land that no one could get their hands on.

The Chinese Association is now unrelated to this matter.

Now, the authorities are just victims who were caught up in the acquisition battle between the International Association and Karma Corporation and suffered damage.

Anyway, the guys who know the truth will be buried in Hong Kong forever.

Yes, that’s how it should end.

The images of both the International Association and Karma Corporation will plummet.

Then, even if they withdraw from the International Association, the authorities will have a justification for becoming independent as a third force of subjugation [referring to dungeon control].

Chairman Li muttered and nodded.

And then.

“C, Chairman!!”

An employee rushed into the office in a hurry.

“What is it?”

“N, now the citizens of Hong Kong… have all left Hong Kong and arrived in Guangzhou!”

“W, what?”

He jumped up from his seat.

“We completely sealed it off! How did they escape Hong Kong?!”

“It seems they used the underground passage from 20 years ago.”

“That’s ridiculous! Only a very few people at headquarters know about that place…!”

The one person who flashed through his mind at that moment.

Team Leader Lai Biu of the Control Team.

‘That bastard…!’

As Chairman Li gritted his teeth, the employee continued.

“That’s not all! I just checked with the headquarters control team’s satellite, and the dungeons in Hong Kong are rapidly disappearing.”

“W, what does that mean……”

No way.

This doesn’t make sense.

They’re subjugating dozens of high-risk dungeons with that manpower?

***

Yaumatei, an orange-ranked dungeon near Austin Station.

It was then, just as he was about to step into it.

“Teacher, our team has completed the assigned dungeon subjugation.”

“What? Already?”

How long has it been since I gave the operation order, and they’ve already subjugated 11 dungeons?

Are they really crazy?

‘Did participating in continuous operations in Korea help here……’

What era are they from?

It’s not like they’re martial artists training in the mountains.

“So, I’m going to go support other teams, what’s your route, teacher?”

“I’m currently going up from Austin Station to Olympic Station. Teams 2 and 3 seem to be doing fine, so if you’re going to support, join up with Teams 4 and 5.”

“Okay.”

“Don’t overdo it. If even one team collapses, it’ll be a real disaster.”

“…….

Suddenly, the answer is cut off.

After a while, she opened her mouth with a faint laugh.

“Don’t you overdo it, teacher.”

“……Seriously.”

Look at this kid.

Now that she’s got some experience, she’s lecturing me.

Still, well……

‘It’s reassuring.’

He smiled and stepped back into the dungeon.

And not long after.

‘Ah, damn……’

As soon as he entered the dungeon, he let out a sigh.

Kieeeeeek―!

A boss so big that it doesn’t all fit in one’s eyes.

A monster with nine heads, the Elemental Hydra.

‘I picked the wrong one……’

It was quite an unusual guy.

Similar guys have appeared several times in Korea, so I know the general information.

A monster whose heads each spew out attacks of different attributes.

It’s quite tricky because the attack method and response change according to each head, but……

‘Should I run…?’

The moment that thought crossed his mind.

Kwaaaaaa―!

Jiiiiing―!

As if not giving him a chance to escape, two heads immediately spewed out flames and cold air.

[Acquired Skill: Hyper Boost]

Paang―!

‘Damn it!’

He started moving quickly along the wall.

Of all the dungeons, I had to get stuck in a tricky one.

If it were the standard way, it’s a dungeon that requires a team of at least 9 people with different classes to proceed.

And the safest way is to deal with each head while responding to each attribute.

But in this situation, I can’t expect such a luxurious operation.

Above all, it takes too much time to deal with them one by one.

The cycle of new dungeons being created in Hong Kong is currently 2 hours.

If you subjugate later than this time, the number of dungeons will continue to increase.

Of course, even if you subjugate within 2 hours, it’s still just maintaining the status quo.

You have to subjugate each dungeon in less than 2 hours to reduce the number.

Every minute and second is urgent, so you can’t waste a lot of time in one place.

‘Tsk……’

It’s dangerous, but there’s no choice.

I have to go at them all at once.

[Unique Skill: Demon King – Awakening]

Soon, a black aura burst out from his entire body.

[Awakening skill has been activated.]

[From this moment on, the caster transcends the existing class.]

[Awakened Class: Absolute Monarch]

He felt a heavy sensation and took a deep breath.

[The caster can freely use the power of dimensions.]

A class without fixed skills or patterns.

When he ran his hand over the black aura emanating from his body, it changed into a sword.

[Weapon has been created.]

[Demon Sword: Tartarus]

The moment he held it and faced the Elemental Hydra.

Jiiiiing―!

Perhaps sensing the threat, light began to emanate from all nine heads at the same time.

***

“Haa, haa……”

“Heok!”

Team 3, led by Han Yubin.

They were all exhausted in front of the boss room of the 9th dungeon.

That’s because everyone was already at their limit from the previous subjugations.

Above all, Han Yubin had never experienced this level of continuous subjugation.

‘I should have done it when Minju asked me to do it together……’

I never thought this day would really come.

He muttered, but he couldn’t stop here.

“Everyone, get up. Let’s keep going.”

“Team leader, the team members are not in good condition! Requesting support from other teams is……”

“There’s no time for that! Every minute we delay, one more dungeon will be added!”

“B, but……”

One of the team members trailed off.

Only then did Han Yubin look around again.

“Heok, heok……”

“Ugh! Ugh……!”

As he said, the team members were already at their limit.

Even if they forced themselves to proceed, they would only be annihilated in that state, let alone subjugate.

It’s better to retreat quietly here and wait for support……

-If that day really comes, I’ll make it up with my body.

At that moment.

Those words he said to Kim Minju a few days ago flashed through his mind.

“I’ll request support for now! Retreat order……!”

“Y, you’re going alone?!”

“G, going alone! That’s impossible!”

“It’s suicide! T, team leader!”

The team members reacted as if they didn’t know what he was talking about.

Han Yubin smiled instead of answering.

Then, ignoring the team members’ dissuasion, he entered the boss room alone.

Yes, haven’t I been doing well so far?

I’ll somehow manage this time too.

Han Yubin sincerely thought so.

But.

Seueueueuk―.

She was unlucky,

Eight pairs of white wings were beautifully spread out before her eyes.

‘Shit……’

Han Yubin let out a laugh without realizing it.

The boss of the red-ranked dungeon.

The most dangerous type of monster among all types of monsters, and a monster with extreme difficulty.

Angel-type monster, Azrael.

‘It’s showing up here……’

Han Yubin just laughed in front of that transcendent being.

What are the chances of subjugating that alone?

Of course, it’s impossible.

But can’t I at least weaken it until support arrives?

[Unique Skill: High Panic Berserker – Awakening]

[From this moment on, all of the caster’s attacks consume blood in the body.]

[Suicidal act]

Soon, Han Yubin gritted his teeth and took an attack stance when.

Teok―!

Someone pulled her from behind.

Thanks to that, Han Yubin fell to the ground on her butt.

She tilted her head with a puzzled expression.

And there.

“I told you not to overdo it.”

Kim Minju, who had rushed over as soon as she heard the support request, was there.

“I said I’d make it up with my body……”

“That doesn’t mean you’re going to die.”

“It’s not that different.”

Soon, Han Yubin got up and asked.

“So, can Minju subjugate that?”

“……No.”

“With the two of us?”

“That would be difficult too.”

“Anyone else we can call?”

“…I don’t know.”

“That’s good then.”

Han Yubin took an attack stance again.

“Shall we catch the two of us and get a big incentive?”

Subjugate Azrael with the two of us?

There’s no way that’s possible.

But Kim Minju also knew that.

“…Okay.”

Soon, she grabbed her sword.

At that moment when the two were prepared to die.

“You guys are putting on a show. How many times have I told you not to overdo it? What’s the point of incentives if you die!”

“……?”

A familiar voice was heard from behind.

The person who appeared there was none other than.

“T, teacher?!”

“How did you know about this……?”

“How did I know, I came after receiving a support request.”

Representative Kim Junwoo replied calmly.

But unlike his tone, his condition was quite battered.

It seemed that the dungeon he was in charge of was also quite difficult.

“I have good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?”

“……Good news.”

When Han Yubin answered immediately, Kim Junwoo pointed to the floor with his finger.

“Currently, this is the only dungeon left.”

“Really?!”

“Really?”

Kim Junwoo nodded.

At the same time, Kim Minju swallowed hard and asked with a stiff face.

“T, then what’s the bad news……”

“We can’t catch that with our current condition.”

Kim Junwoo’s firm answer.

A shadow fell on the faces of the two.

“To hear the guy who beat me up say he can’t do it.”

A man’s voice was heard.

Soon, the eyes of the three people turned to that place at once, and the person who appeared there was an unexpected person.

“Need some help?”

None other than the world’s number one hunter.

Noah Westernwood and his guild members.

“Was the support force that Chloe was going to send you?”

“Well, I was actually going to ignore it, but she asked me too persistently.”

“That’s beside the point… how did you get here? It’s sealed off.”

“I beat up the guys who were blocking me and came in.”

“……”

When Kim Junwoo made a dumbfounded expression, Noah asked again.

“So, do you want help or not?”

“Well… if you have time left.”

Noah shrugged and stood side by side with Kim Junwoo.

Behind him, Kim Minju and Han Yubin took their positions.

“Then, shall we see everyone’s skills!”

When Noah opened his mouth.

[Unique Skill: Apocalypse]

[Unique Skill: Thousand Hands]

[Unique Skill: High Panic Berserker]

Everyone’s eyes flashed blue.

And that was.

[Unique Skill: Demon King]

Kim Junwoo was the same.
