C168 - Declaration

Yoo Myung-Han told him his situation frankly.

"Actually, I have the same disease as your mother."

Jin-Woo stopped him momentarily at the unexpected response.

"Jin-ho knows?"

Yoo Myung-Han shook his head.

"Only I, my wife and my secretary know my illness, of course, except the doctor."

"Now I'm the fourth."

"It's okay"

Jin-Woo nodded.

Now he could see why President Yoo had visited him in secret without going through Jin-ho.

He also wanted to hide his illness from his family.

"There are only tens of thousands of employees whose destinations are on their shoulders ..."

If rumors spread that President Yoo does not have much time to stay active, he would jeopardize the future of Yoo-Jin Construction and its affiliates.

Why else would he hide the disease from his family and keep it as safe as possible?

To accept reality as it is, there are many things that President Yoo is carrying.

But nevertheless....

'Why did you tell me your condition?'

That must be because I judge that in order for this 'business' (that is, to speak with Jin-woo) to come out in the green light, I had to take that risk.

This was a confirmation that he was really a famous businessman.

It was impossible for such a man to take risks and fight for nothing.

But nevertheless...

Jin-Woo could barely guess what President Yoo would say.

And as expected

President Yoo said with a crooked face.

"I was able to find a patient in the world who was free of this disease while studying how to cure it."

'I knew it'.

The story continued as Jin-Woo had hoped.

"It does not seem a coincidence that the only one healed in the world is the mother of Hunter Sung Jin-Woo."

Jin-Woo has surprised many people with his magical abilities that had never before appeared.

Maybe it was his power that dealt with his mother's illness?

It was a conclusion that could reach President Yoo, who had read Jin-Woo through various materials.

'...'

Jin-woo looked at the president without an answer.

President Yoo swallowed in anticipation.

'There should not be an error'.

If this was just a warm-up exercise, the real game was beginning.

Now was the most important moment.

Yoo Myung-Han told Jin with a deep sigh:

"What I want from you is the truth."

President Yoo pushed the check a little more with the tips of his fingers.

"And in return, this is part of the compensation I can offer you."

"And of course, I'll never forget your kindness if you can help me."

The business tiger tilted his head for help.

If those who knew President Yoo closely were here, they would be more than astonished right now.

However, Jin-Woo was as calm as ever.

He watched President Yoo with a calm look.

'It does not seem to be a lie'.

His heart piercing, his deep breathing and his anxious expression of disdain, were signs of it.

President Yoo was sincere.

But nevertheless...

The fact that someone wants to earn something for himself does not mean he has a right to that.

After a brief anguish, Jin-Woo opened his mouth, which was firmly closed.

"Sorry."

Yoo Myung-Han's pupil shook tremendously.

"Unfortunately, I can not help you."

"If so..."

As expected, President Yoo had not been able to resign easily.

"How was your mother healed?"

"President"

Jin-Woo's eyes went serious.

When the surrounding air began to cool, the presumed Yoo realized again what the man he was facing now was.

After, Jin-Woo said:

"If I knew the reason and wanted to make money with it, why would I keep silent until now?"

Some answers went through President Yoo's head.

'Why am I afraid of being targeted by someone with power?'

Do not.

President Yoo shook his head.

He is an active S-Class Hunter.

It is also exceptionally strong.

'Who can point to it?'

'So you want more than money?'

Once again, Mr. Yoo's head moved to the left and to the right without an answer.

If he is now an S rank hunter, if it is honor, popularity and whatever he wants, he could get it at will.

But hunter Sung Jin-woo did not do it.

'Oh'.

President Yoo noticed his mistake late.

The basis of the agreement is to find out what the opponent wants.

Take what the opponent wants and get what you want from the opponent.

This is how the business works.

But he did not know anything about what Jin-Woo wanted.

It was natural that the transaction would fail.

'One of two things'.

Jin-woo really did not know the reason, or there's nothing he wants.

In any case, it was a desperate situation for him.

"...I get it."

President Yoo no longer clung to Jin-Woo.

"So..."

President Yoo got up and called his secretary, Kim. Secretary Kim who stayed outside intervened.

"..."

As soon as he took his first step, he read the rigid air that flowed between Jin-Woo and President Yoo.

As it was the last hope he had hoped for, the face of Kim's secretary darkened.

"President, did you call me?"

The president of Yoo Myung-Han nodded.

"I'm done with my meeting with hunter Sung Jin-woo, please remove it."

"It's okay".

After a polite rejection, Jin-Woo greeted Yoo Myung-Han and Secretary Kim gently and entered the elevator alone.

The high-speed elevator left the top and went to the ground floor.

Jin-woo had not realized that when he was with the president, but now he knew for sure.

The elevator was too big for only 1 person.

But nevertheless...

*Sigh*

It was not easy to refuse such a request. Since he was the father of his brother.

Jin-Woo could even have cured him without asking anything in return ...

But...

'Do not know him'

'Who is the president of Yoo Myung-Han?'

'If he's really sick or if he has other interests, I do not know.'

The item 「Miracle Medicine」 was used to treat her mother, although it was limited in number, it was excellent in performance.

So Jin-Woo had to be more careful when using it.

The conditions proposed by President Yoo were not conventional, so they failed to persuade him.

That was the conclusion.

Ting-!

The elevator reached the first floor and the door opened.

Jin-Woo lowered the hood. Unlike when I was with President Yoo, nobody was watching him.

They looked back and forth, asking: "Who gets off the executive lift?"

Jin-Woo walked to the entrance without any particular care.

The guide agent who was standing found Jin-Woo and opened the way.

Jin-Woo, who was crossing the lobby, stopped instantly at the voice that came from somewhere.

[This is the latest news from Japan.]

Jin-Woo's head turned.

When he looked up, the big television in the lobby broadcast the news in real time.

They were breaking news about the breakup of the Calabozo and the disaster in Japan

Jin-Woo walked towards TV

The city looked terrible from the helicopter view.

The giants were destroying the buildings.

The citizens who could not evacuate were devoured by the giants. The army shot the giant beasts but it was useless.

It was impossible to win without the power of the hunters.

An exact count of deaths was impossible, but estimates suggest that the death toll had already exceeded one million

It was a real catastrophe.

".."

Jin-Woo's face hardened. It was the first time he witnessed reality.

'...'

Yesterday, Jin-Woo left Woo Jin-Chul to clean up the mess of the double dungeon and went home to get some sleep.

Therefore, he had not realized that the situation in Japan was worse than he thought.

It reminded him of the nightmare that happened on Jeju Island four years ago.

He thought he was lucky to have bad luck.

The breakup of the Calabozo at that time could not cause more problems due to the isolated nature of the island.

But nevertheless...

Japan was different.

It's too big to turn it into an island. The country itself was in danger of being erased.

* Ba-dump *

* Ba-dump *

Jin-woo's heart, looking at the giants, beat strongly.

It was unpleasant

When he thought that these giant were trampling people, a strong disgust came from deep inside.

However, in that same moment ...

'Wait...'

A thought struck Jin-woo.

'Are those giants just the only ones that came out?'

They were giants Jin-Woo had never been in contact with. Of course, the TV does not count because you can not detect mana through the screen.

'But ... why unconsciously I thought of the word' barely 'when I saw the giants?'

'I am confident?'

Jin-Woo, who inclined his head, shook his head immediately.

'I think I'm thinking too much'

Later, Jin-woo, who was watching the television report with many other people, broke a gap in the crowd and quietly left the building.

Dungeon Break - 2nd day.

Immediately the eyes of the world focused on Japan.

'What are the measures against breaking the dungeon?'

'Is there any way to help Japan?'

'If not, will the United States come?'

Y...

'Is it possible that the giants that destroyed Japan cross the sea and harm other countries?'

Worries and anxieties poured into Japan, which was collapsing.

Of course, some nations that have been in hostile relations with Japan have had different thoughts, but at least they have expressed their repentance abroad.

But what Japan needed was not just consolation.

Help...

A concrete force to save Japan from the beasts, a "force of relief".

In the midst of the delay in announcing the United States position on the issue, it was learned that 1/10 of the territory of Japan had already been destroyed.

A procession of Japanese refugees filling the road was in the air.

They left their homes to survive and move east and west.

But like all countries, the land of Japan is not infinite. In short, it is a dead end.

The planned end was approaching.

The world began to ask about its sad appearance.

-  'What will Korea do?'

-  'Why does not Korea help Japan?'

-  'Do not you know his grace?'

The world saw Jeju Island just a few weeks ago.

Japan lost half of its S-class hunters to Korea, so why was Korea still watching the Japanese crisis?

The damage scale of Japan and the number of deaths have been updated hourly.

The people were angry and disappointed.

As sympathy for Japan grew larger, criticisms of Korea became more frequent.

-  'Move, Korea!'

-  'Is not there justice for them?'

-  'Korea, did you forget which country helped you on Jeju Island ?!' The public opinion of the world was boiling.

However, they also asked about why Japan does not ask Korea to defeat the beasts.

So the third day ...

The president of the Korean Hunters Association, Go Gun-Hee, who thought it was time, finally stopped in front of the reporters.

Go Gun-Hee looked at all the cameras and reporters who had gathered and spoke in a low voice:

"I regret the disasters that have occurred in Japan, now I will reveal the position of our Hunters Association .........."

But also...

A little earlier, the statement of the 「Hunter Bureau」 was published.
