Chapter 230

It's strange.

Yoo Jin Hee, sister of Yoo Jin Ho, who was returning home without much money due to Yoo Jin Ho's stubbornness, carefully pulled over her car.

'Kkiig-!'

She just saw Hunter Sung Jin Woo when she left Ahjin's Guild Office.

No one in Korea doesn't know his face.

So it is not hard to explain this feeling that I have met him somewhere.

She's always aware of her surroundings, that's why she's unsure.

She's the eldest daughter of the famous president who never forgets a person's face once he has seen it.

And like the president, she doesn't either.

When she passed by and saw the outline of Hunter Sung Jin Woo, she felt like she saw him somewhere before.

"When was that?"

Her eyes grew when she's trying to remember when.

It's in the hospital.

There's a man with the same outline that passed by near the entrance of the hospital where my father was.

"Why didn't I notice it back then?"

"Was it because I was disoriented when my father collapsed?"

"That's certainly it."

The person that passed by that day was Hunter Sung Jin Woo.

And then her father who was diagnosed to be sleeping for the rest of his life suddenly woke up.

Indeed.

It might not all be just a coincidence.

Yoo Jin Hee, who suddenly started to get goosebumps all over her body, picked up her phone and dialed her father's number.

'Beep, beep, beep.'

However, she stopped at the last number and hid her phone.

"What am I trying to do?"

The fact that she saw Hunter Sung Jin Woo at the Hospital that day and connecting it to her father's recovery.

She thought she's just delusional.

If Jin Woo knew what she just did, he might’ve thanked her for not calling her father.

Yoo Jin Hee prepared to go back on the road.

When all of a sudden her phone rang.

[Mr. Secretary]

As soon as she saw who's calling, she chuckled.

He was probably asked by his father, who's curious about what happened to her visit to Ahjin's Guild Office where her brother works.

Her father's still devious to his children.

Yoo Jin Hee chuckled and answered the phone.

"Hello?"

After a brief conversation, Yoo Jin Hee then asked.

"Sir, do you know if Hunter Sung Jin Woo's acquainted with my father?"

"Yes."

Surprised by the question, the Secretary then asked in a trembled voice.

"What are you implying?"

Yoo Jin Hee quickly replied after the Secretary's unexpected reaction.

"Nothing... I saw Hunter Sung Jin Woo coming out of the hospital that day and, I was wondering if Hunter Sung visited my father?"

"Hunter Sung was there?"

"Yes, I passed by him at the entrance of the hospital before I heard that my father was awake."

"Are you sure? Are you certain that it's him?"

"Yes. I couldn't remember who it was because I was disoriented. But, when we met at the Guild's Office, I was sure it was him. By the way, is there something wrong?"

"Ohh, no. I'll call you back soon."

The call ended before she can even reply.

"Did I say something wrong?"

Confused, she then tried to put away her phone but, it rang again.

Yoo Jin Hee's eyes grew larger when she saw the name on her phone.

"...Father?"

As soon as she saw who's calling she realized that something's going on.

"Was there a connection between about father's recovery and Hunter Sung Jin Woo as I expected?"

She then answered her phone cautiously.

"Father?"

**********

Beijing Capital International Airport.

The largest and busiest airport in China was full of people.

The reason is.

It was the arrival of the best Chinese Hunters who left to support Korea.

The same goes for the other countries too but, China's best hunters always draws a crowd.

Especially Liu Zhang, who is a 7-star hunter and the leader of the Korean support team from China was beyond description.

A reporter, who was broadcasting the scene at the airport abruptly yelled at the sight of Liu Zhang.

"Oh! Hunter Liu Zhang's coming in!"

"Wow-!"

The fans who were waiting patiently to get a glimpse of him screamed at the top of their lungs.

Liu Zhang held his two long swords in one hand and handshakes the fans with his other hand.

His charming face captivated most of his female fans.

Following Liu Zhang, the rest of the hunter's team came out.

"Wow-!"

The admiration of the fans that only sees the hunters on TV filled the airport.

The reporter then went live.

"The honored hunters who left to support Korea has now arrived at the airport."

As his attitude shows, it was a rewarding victory for China.

In the face of life and death, the Chinese people can proudly say that they did not turn a blind eye to the crisis of their neighboring country.

Where is it?

No one got injured when the ultra-large gate opened and ended.

Instead, they gained fame and wealth.

Grateful for the results, a lot of Chinese praised Liu Zhang for organizing the team.

But.

Not all will be satisfied.

There were a few people on the internet who criticized Liu Zhang or Korea.

-The country is paying you a lot of money to protect it and, you're going to Korea?

-Is he a Korean or Chinese hunter? Does anyone know his lineage?

-Who's in charge of Liu Zhang's account? Maybe he was paid by Korea?

-Does a great nation like us need to help ungrateful small countries? There should never be a case like this again.

-Is the Chinese Hunter team paid or did they volunteer? Count all the expenses and charge the Koreans.

-Sung Jin Woo has made a lot of money by defeating the giants in Japan so let him pay for everything with his own money!

The cancerous comments kept rolling under the live broadcasting video.

On behalf of the people's interest, a reporter asked Liu Zhang.

"While many people applauded your courageous decision, there are a few opinions on why we should not help South Korea. What are your thoughts about that?"

Liu Zhang then took off his sunglasses and glared at the reporter.

"Who said that stupid thing?"

"Yes?"

He didn't care about the reporter who was looking at him with fearful eyes. He then continued his remarks.

"Do people who carry their heads as ornaments don't see the map? Have you ever studied the geography of Korea?"

"Ah..."

"From the island of Japan, a giant magical beast crossed the sea and came to China's soil. They all saw me catch it live on TV."

Liu Zhang turned and looked at the camera.

"The same thing could have happened again and on a much larger scale. All the hunter's there tried to prevent that from happening again."

Liu Zhang's harsh but truthful words stopped the rumors online.

Liu Zhang then intently looked at the camera.

"If anyone's still saying that, tell them this."

[I went to help Hunter Sung Jin Woo because I didn't have the confidence to stop a disaster that Sung Jin Woo himself can't prevent.]

Liu Zhang then stopped talking after bringing joy to his fans with his long but meaningful speech.

"Have you realized that the camera's running?"

"No."

Liu Zhang is the only hunter in China that can say whatever he wants without worrying about anything.

He then looked outside and was speechless.

"What's going on?"

The first one to notice it was the reporter, then Liu Zhang, then the rest of the Hunters and then everyone at the airport.

Liu Zhang, who was never surprised about anything were then disturbed.

"Oh my God!"

Over Beijing's sky, darkness gradually spread.

**********

"Hunter Sung, did you hear the news?"

Jin Woo shook his head.

After the ultra-large gate raid, he had been in Japan. But as he had just arrived in Korea and immediately went to the Hunter's Association he didn't have a chance to see the current news.

No, because if there was a problem while I was away, Jin Ho should've informed me first.

Jin Woo shifted as soon as he saw the Association Members serious expressions.

"What happened?"

Woo Jin Cheol took out his cellphone and showed the videos spreading online.

"Jesus, do you see that?"

"Wow!'

"Doesn't that look larger than the gates in Korea."

Eight ultra-large gates appeared in the skies all around the world.

People were filming the gates with half-fear and half-curiosity and spreading it online.

The eight countries informed the world about the sudden appearance of the gates.

'Gulp-!'

Woo Jin Cheol swallowed his saliva while Jin Woo calmly watched the videos one by one.

"Hunter Sung, is that supposed to be yours too?"

"No."

Jin Woo answered immediately.

The eight gates were positively not related to him.

Woo Jin Cheol's face turned gloomy as soon as he heard that Jin Woo has no relations to the appearance of the new gates.

If several hundreds of thousands of magical beasts poured out of those gates just like what happened in Seoul a few days ago, isn't that the same as the end of the world?

After watching all the videos, Jin Woo said to Woo Jin Cheol.

"Please give me a seat."

"Oh, yes!"

The two people went up to the office of the president and sat down facing each other.

"Do you have something to say to me?"

When Woo Jin Cheol carefully asked, Jin Woo replied.

"Do you trust me, Mr. President?

After pondering for a while, Woo Jin Cheol nodded.

"Yes, I believe in you."

"Then I hope you believe what I will show you now."

"Yes?"

Jin Woo stretched his index finger towards Woo Jin Cheol's forehead just like the former Shadow Monarch did to him.

At that moment, Woo Jin Cheol's eyes burst into darkness and a collection of images appeared before him.

"Ugh-!"

Jin Woo shows this truth only to Woo Jin Cheol.

Monarch and Rulers.

And the forces that the Monarchs brought to Earth.

"Wow, wow, wow, wow!"

Woo Jin Cheol breathed roughly, as he witnessed the strengths of the Monarchs.

"What nonsense... How are these things...."

Woo Jin Cheol finds it hard to believe that the Absolute One gave the humans special powers to save the world.

So the hunters must fight the magical beasts and protect humanity.

But if the truth is what Hunter Sung Jin Woo showed.

It was arrogance.

It was a mistake.

Hunters.

No, the awakening was only a process of training humans who could survive the aftermath of the real war.

It's not a war between Humans and Monarchs.

It's a war between Rulers and Monarchs.

And there was a human who they didn't expect to play the highest role.

The army of the monarchs arrived at a much earlier time than anticipated by the rulers, and the only one to rely on is now the Hunter Sung Jin Woo, who has now become the shadow monarch.

"Oh my God!"

Woo Jin Cheol holds his hand tightly and looks at Jin Woo with tears.

"Hunter Sung ... Are you going to fight with these guys? Alone?"

You cannot give up at the start just because the enemy's too powerful for you. That's how Jin Woo lived before.

So Jin Woo nodded silently.

"Yes."

Woo Jin Cheol, who wants to help somehow then asked.

"Well, then we'll... How can we help you, Hunter Sung?"

As he expected the question, Jin Woo answered with a reply he had prepared beforehand.

"Please gather all the World's Representatives in one place."
