The Wise Cleaning Life Of A Returning Genius Hunter [EN]: Chapter 223

In an old church building located in Suwon.

The main church seemed to have moved elsewhere a long time ago, leaving only the old building, where a woman stepped inside.

“What is it? Who is it?”

At the same time, a dozen men who looked completely out of place in a church greeted her.

“Who do you think you are, barging in here?”

“Are you lost?”

“There’s no mass today. Please leave.”

The men tried to send the woman away with words that wouldn’t work.

But the woman lightly ignored them and spoke her first words.

“Where’s your team leader right now?”

“……?”

“Who are you?”

“Are you a cop?!”

The men suddenly changed their attitude at those words and surrounded the woman.

They frowned and made futile threats, but the woman simply glared at them with a calm expression.

“…Wait a minute. You look familiar?”

And then.

“Isn’t that woman the head of the operations headquarters?”

A man belatedly recognized the woman’s identity.

“What are you talking about?”

“She’s the Karma Operations Headquarters chief, you idiot. Kim Min-ju!”

“Oh…? Really?”

The men seemed quite surprised by the unexpected guest’s identity.

But they called her by her name, as if emphasizing that she wasn’t their superior, but the woman’s expression was rather delighted.

Recognizing her meant they had revealed their own identities.

‘…I came to the right place.’

Kim Min-ju thought so and scanned the men.

About 15 people.

But there’s no team leader among them. The guys here were at most C or D-class.

‘Should I wait here longer…?’

Of course, there’s no way the guys here would allow that.

“Could it be that you’re here to catch us?”

“How did you know about us?”

“Did another team get a lead?”

“Nah, no way.”

Soon, they were still talking among themselves, as if they hadn’t grasped the situation.

But that was only for a moment.

“Well… that’s good.”

“I was wondering how good you were to get to that position in a year from B-class.”

“I’ve wanted to fight you without the rank for a while, and now I have the chance.”

As expected, they took out their weapons without hesitation.

Kim Min-ju sighed deeply at the sight.

‘What kind of vacation is this…….’

It was quite absurd, but on the other hand, she also felt relieved.

Anyway, she wasn’t just playing around, she was really working.

Of course, that’s not normal either…….

One way or another, she was impressed by Han Yu-bin’s insight.

“Just so you know, we’re guys who have already had our Hunter qualifications revoked.”

“I don’t know if you’ll be okay against guys who have nothing to lose.”

“I don’t know how you found out, but once you’re in here, you’re not getting out alive, Operations Headquarters chief.”

“You’re really unlucky, ending up with our team…….”

“You talk too much.”

Kim Min-ju cut them off and let out a faint sigh.

And then.

“If you’re going to fight, shut up and come at me.”

She drew her sword.

At that moment, the atmosphere changed completely.

The gentle impression from before was gone without a trace, and it felt like facing a divine general from a legend.

The men hesitated for a moment, as if they felt something overwhelming.

But that was only for a moment.

“……Ha!”

“This bitch…!”

The men rushed in as soon as they were ready for battle.

Kim Min-ju didn’t rush and breathed slowly.

Soon, blue swords began to fly indiscriminately.

[Unique Skill: Dual Swords – Public Execution]

[Unique Skill: Ghost Sword Play]

[Unique Skill: Possession – Johannes Lichtenauer]

Swish―!

Swish, swish, swish―!!

But.

[Unique Skill: Thousand-Armed Guanyin – Awakening]

[Five of the Six Guanyin]

[5th Form – Junse Guanyin]

Clang―.

Clang, clang, clang―!

Kim Min-ju blocked all those sword strikes with minimal movement.

“Wh, what…?”

“N, no way…….”

The men were greatly embarrassed by that one exchange.

It felt as if all attacks were automatically sticking to her sword.

It was a situation they had never experienced before.

“I can’t believe you’re all swordsman class.”

Kim Min-ju also looked quite embarrassed.

Even though it’s a common class, she couldn’t believe that an entire team was swordsmen.

‘Is it because other classes are too noticeable and leave too many traces to work in the dark?’

Well, if you’re a swordsman, you don’t have to worry about that.

“What, was she not a parachute hire [someone who got the job through connections]…?”

“It’s a coincidence, you idiot. There’s no way she can block all of that?”

“I’m going for real this time!”

Soon, the men raised their swords once again.

But they didn’t know that the result was already determined.

Their mistake was one thing.

It’s been quite a while since they quit being hunters.

If they were active hunters, there’s no way they wouldn’t know.

The fact that she was recently promoted to the first S-rank in the country, the number one in the national rankings.

“Hoo…….”

[Unique Skill: Thousand-Armed Guanyin – Awakening]

[One of the Six Guanyin]

Soon, Kim Min-ju’s eyes flashed blue once.

[1st Form – Holy Guanyin]

Swish, swish―.

Two quiet and sharp sword strikes cut through the air.

***

Daejeon Metropolitan City, an abandoned bathhouse building.

People with tattoos all over their bodies were having a meal in a tub without water.

Bang―!

Then, someone kicked the door open as if they had no intention of opening it with their hand.

“Wh, what!”

“Damn it, who is it!”

Those who were there immediately jumped up from their seats at the sudden appearance of an uninvited guest.

But the uninvited guest didn’t seem to care about them.

“I even brought my swimsuit because they said they were giving me a vacation… what is this.”

The uninvited guest, who seemed very upset for some reason, kept muttering to herself.

“What kind of company is it that forces you to use your personal leave to work in this day and age? Right?”

“…….”

“…….”

The men stared at her, who was suddenly angry for an unknown reason, with blank expressions.

“Oh, whatever. They said it’s okay to beat them up as I please, so I’ll just let it go this time.”

If this happens again, I’m reporting it to the labor office without exception.

Han Yu-bin sincerely made that resolution.

But they still didn’t seem to grasp the situation.

“…Beat them up?”

“Who? Are you talking about us?”

“Kid, I’m telling you nicely…….”

“Shut your mouth.”

Han Yu-bin cut them off and strode forward.

She didn’t want to waste even a minute right now.

If she could finish work as soon as possible, she might be able to have a real vacation for at least a day.

Therefore, she coolly skipped the process of identifying the team leader’s location, collecting information about the opponent, and devising a strategy, like someone else.

Well, it was unnecessary for her in the first place.

“Come at me all at once.”

Soon, her eyes turned red.

[Unique Skill: Hypernic Berserker]

A blood-stained aura burst out and stained the entire space.

***

“C, councilman!”

National Assembly, Future Democratic Party, Representative Jung Hoon’s office.

Representative Jung Hoon’s aide entered there and urgently looked for him.

“What is it? What’s wrong.”

When Representative Jung Hoon raised his eyebrows and asked, the aide looked around and lowered his voice.

“Right now… teams in each region are being attacked simultaneously.”

“…What?”

“It seems that Kim Jun-woo is starting to move in earnest.”

“Tsk, is this how it’s going to end up.”

Representative Jung Hoon clicked his tongue and frowned.

But there’s nothing to worry about yet.

Anyway, this is what I expected.

It’s not like my obvious suspicions have been revealed yet, and above all, it’s only things that are not related to Karma Corporation yet.

Of course, they won’t be able to officially move their forces either.

‘At best, it seems like only a few of his closest aides are joining in…….’

Of course, even so, each one is a monster-level force.

Team leaders aside, it’s impossible for the guys below to deal with them, but I didn’t expect that in the first place.

Aren’t they just pawns to be used and discarded anyway?

It’s enough if they’re just well-trained to listen to me.

The small fries don’t even know who their superiors are, and the team leaders won’t say my name even if they die.

No matter how much they crack down on the organization, they can’t prove that their leader is me.

‘Choi Jong-hyuk, if only that bastard had kept his mouth shut…….’

Representative Jung Hoon gnashed his teeth with a regretful expression.

But that was only for a moment.

“Well, don’t worry too much. More importantly, how did the Representative Kang case go?”

“It’s been taken care of. But… the police officer who was with him got caught up in it.”

“Police?”

The aide nodded.

“I heard he was investigating an illegal hunter organization. Isn’t this a bit dangerous? If the police get involved, things could get bigger…….”

“That’s impossible.”

“Yes?”

Representative Jung Hoon smiled and continued.

“You know. The chief of that station can’t do anything without me. As long as his career path is at stake, he can’t make things big…….”

It was then.

– Breaking news.

Suddenly, news flashes began to flow from the TV.

– The body of CEO Joo Se-hoon of Sehoon Chemical, who went missing a month ago in Pohang, has been found. Judging from the situation and circumstances at the time of discovery, it is presumed that he took his own life…….

Representative Jung Hoon gestured to the aide as if to say, “See that.”

But that didn’t last long either.

– As a result of the autopsy, traces of alien energy were found. The police have launched a reinvestigation, considering the possibility of murder by an esper [a person with psychic abilities].

“……?”

Representative Jung Hoon’s eyebrows twitched at the unexpected content.

– Meanwhile, GT Construction and Representative Kang Jong-gu, who had a conflict with CEO Joo Se-hoon over the site bidding, have also been revealed to be involved in this case, causing even more shock. Detective Min Yu-jin, who is in charge of this case, has stated that this is a case stemming from collusion between the political world, corporations, and illegal hunter organizations.

“Wh, what…….”

Representative Jung Hoon’s expression gradually hardened as the news flowed in an increasingly strange direction.

– In addition, the Pohang Southern Police Station, which has jurisdiction over the case, has announced that it will thoroughly investigate what kind of transactions took place between the three forces, and has formed a special headquarters to conduct a large-scale investigation…….”

“You son of a bitch!!”

Bang―!

Before the announcer could finish speaking, Representative Jung Hoon slammed the table.

“What the hell are you doing! I clearly told you to end the investigation!”

“Wh, when I checked, the investigation had actually ended within the jurisdiction.”

“Then why are you reopening the investigation now!”

Representative Jung Hoon’s face turned red as he shouted.

This is definitely not an order that Ji Seon-woong made independently.

Given his personality, there’s no way he would make such a bold choice on his own.

Someone…… some damn someone has persuaded him.

‘Kim Jun-woo, that bastard…….’

What the hell did he say to persuade him to give up his career path?

Soon, Representative Jung Hoon’s fist clenched tightly.

This is dangerous.

Of course, I can’t prove the charges unless Representative Kang Jong-gu regains consciousness, but that’s only a matter of time.

If a large-scale investigation is conducted, I might get caught someday.

‘Damn it, what should I do…….’

Just as he was restless, not knowing what to do, Representative Jung Hoon finally took out his cell phone.

And immediately pressed a number that wasn’t even saved.

“……Hello.”

「Mr. Jung. Is the work going well?」

Wesley, Secretary-General of the International Association.

He was the last resort for him.

“That’s… there’s a problem.”

「A problem?」

“Kim Jun-woo and the police have launched a large-scale investigation.”

「…….」

“It’s not dangerous right now, but I might get caught if time passes. I was wondering if you could help me…….”

As Representative Jung Hoon trailed off, a small laugh was heard from Secretary-General Wesley.

「I understand. If my friend says so, I have no choice.」
