Chapter 231

David Brennan, Director of the 『Hunter Bureau』 , felt very frustrated at the moment.

“What did the Korean Hunter Association say?”

“There hasn’t been an official statement issued by them.”

“Then why did you come here?”

“..Yes?”

Wasn’t that because the Director himself called him?

When the Director saw the frown on his subordinate’s face, he yelled out in anger.

“You have to get the answer even if you have to strangle the chairman of the Korean Hunter Association! Isn’t that your job?!”

“Sorry, sorry..”

“Get out of here and find out what happened.”

Even after he drove away the Intelligence Bureau Chief, the director still fumed with anger.

Massive gates.

One that was estimated to be far bigger than what had appeared in Seoul, now appeared in the Canadian sky.

And because Canada was a country bordering the United States, it wouldn’t take long for the fire to spread south, towards America.­­

He could only hope for the events to unfold the same way it did in Seoul.

It would be better if they were Hunter Sung Jin Woo’s summons.

‘But the problem is..’

Hunter Sung Jin Woo and the Korean Hunter Association, who held all the answers, remained silent until now.

And it had been three hours since the massive gates appeared in the sky in various parts of the world.

The government was demanding the 『Hunter Bureau』  for answers.

Meanwhile, the best intelligence agency in the United States, the Hunter Bureau, was waiting for answers from the Korean Hunter Association.

‘Who would’ve thought this would happen?’

And how could he stay calm in a situation like this.

Beep – Beep – Beep

The director, who sighed deeply, picked up the phone when he saw the lights bleeping.

“What?”

“The chairman is looking for you.”

“Tell him I’m not there.”

“President..?”

-Bang!

The director roughly hung up the phone and stared at the ceiling with a blank gaze, while the intelligence chief whom he had just kicked out, stepped back into the room while panting.

“Director!”

“Why did you come back here?”

The intelligence chief quickly raised his hand towards the director.

“The Korean Hunter Association has responded!”

Upon hearing that, the director’s face turned 180 degrees and lit up.

“See! You can do it!”

The director then approached the intelligence bureau chief.

“Yes, what did they say?”

“Ah. Well, this.. If you want to get information about the massive gates, then come to Korea.”

“…”

“Who? Who should go?”

“Whoever is appointed by the government as a representative doesn’t matter.”

At the same  time-

Beep – Beep –Beep

The director, seeing the phone on his desk light up again, picked up the receiver.

“Director, the President keeps calling.”

Click –

The director dropped the receiver hurriedly and said with a grim face,

“I’m leaving.”

“..Yes?”

The director then kindly spoke to make the confused intelligence chief understand.

“I’m going to Korea, as a representative of the United States!”

***

The representatives from each country who received calls from the Korean Hunter Association boarded their private planes and departed for Korea.

The pressure was frightening.

Only two years ago, Korea had lost their S-Rank Hunter because of the United States.

But now, the same Korea was calling on world leaders to come to their country.

No, even a year ago, Korea was still incapable of handling the Dungeon Break on Jeju Island and was ridiculed by Japan.

But-

Because of a Hunter, now called the top class, everything has changed.

The man who conquered the large forces that emerged from the gates.

That man might be able to explain the truth behind the massive gates that now covered the sky in various parts of the world.

And if he knew, then naturally people would also be able to understand what happened a few days ago.

All the keys were held in the hands of one person.

And the problem was, the person holding the key was someone who was too strong to fight only with strength and cunningness.

In this world, who could force him to open his mouth?

Who could force a Hunter who was able to defeat a national-level Hunter and had more than 100,000 creatures as summons?

There was none, and there was no way there would be.

President, Prime Minister, Chancellor, Director of the Hunter Bureau, Chairman of the Hunter Association, etc.

There was a reason why big people like them were moving because of the demands of the Korean Hunter Association.

“Is there anything else you want to report to me?”

“Yes. So far, 152 countries that have been summoned have responded.”

“Good.”

Chairman of the Korean Hunter Association, Woo Jin-Cheol, was informed about the progress of the plan.

An emergency room set-up for the Massive Gates attack was going to be used today.

“The Hungarian representative just arrived at the airport.”

“Who came from the Hungarian side?”

“President Anhor Heydish came directly.”

“Oh my god..”

When a guest visited his home country, it was his duty to politely welcome them.

But now the Hunter Association did not have the capacity to pay attention to such matters.

Woo Jin-Cheol momentarily frowned because of that.

“Take them to the hotel.”

“Yes..”

The employee, with a doubtful look on his face, was hesitant to turn back.

“Yeah? Do you have something else to report?”

“Ah..”

The anxious employee finally gained the courage to speak.

“What did you hear from Hunter Sung Jin Woo in the association room yesterday? I’ve never seen you look so pale before.”

The employee realized this yesterday, right after Jin Woo arrived.

What did they talk about in there?

And because of Woo Jin-Cheol’s expression, he could not shake those thoughts aside.

Even though he knew it was rude, he had to ask.

And as expected, Woo Jin-Cheol’s face hardened like a rock.

“Ah, I’m sorry. I just asked an unnecessary question..”

“No. I don’t feel upset because of your question.”

Woo Jin-Cheol recalled the memory that Sung Jin Woo had shown him yesterday.

An army of dragons emerged from the other side of the dark.

And a giant dragon flew from behind the other dragons.

The dragon flew at a crazy speed, but his movements seemed slow, as if he was effortlessly standing still in place.

Such majesty, that even if all the Hunters of the world joined forces, they certainly wouldn’t be able to scratch it in the slightest.

Woo Jin-Cheol was overcome with an overwhelming feeling. He felt that the dragon was capable of burning all of the Earth’s land with just one breath.

Even the mere sight of the dragon was enough to make him feel sick.

No matter how much power he had in his hands, no matter how much compensation he was promised, he would still not have to confidence to fight it.

“I can not..”

Hunter Sung Jin Woo, who knew of their existence and was still determined to fight, was to be respected.

So, what was Hunter Sung Jin-Woo doing now?

There was still some time left before the representatives of each country had to gather.

Woo Jin-Cheol, who wondered how Jin Woo was spending his time, asked,

“Now, where is Hunter Sung Jin woo?”

“We received a report that he is currently resting at his house.”

***

“Voila!”

Jin Woo placed the kimchi stew he made on the table with a smile on his face.

“Wow! Looks delicious.”

His mother, on the other hand, was sorry for making her busy son cook.

“Mom could have done it..”

Jin Woo then responded with a smile,

“I just want to show you how well I can do it.”

All of it was Jin Woo’s idea to allow his mother take a break.

The look in his eyes was urging her to taste it, and his mother laughed and lifted her spoon.

“Hufff-“

Carefully blowing, the mother’s eyes widened as she placed a spoonful of soup inside her mouth.

Beside her, Jin-Ah filled up with enthusiasm.

“Mom, how is it? What do you think? Is it good?”

“Mm.”

She looked at her mother’s face and shrugged.

“I know my brother is good at cooking. Mom, try this too. Brother is very good at making side dishes.”

When his sister laughed and praised his cooking skills, Jin Woo kindly asked his mother for her opinion.

“Mother?”

His mother, who quietly laid down her spoon, asked Jin Woo.

“What happened?”

Jin Woo kept his face as calm as possible upon hearing his mother’s question.

“What do you mean suddenly?”

“In the past, your father would cook for you whenever he was about to partake in something dangerous, right?”

Her son never worried when he had to kill the giants in japan, nor did he worry when the big gate opened up in Seoul.

But now, why was he worried?

The instincts of a woman, no, a mother made her understand all of that.

“I guess it runs in the blood.”

Jin Woo denied it and shook his head.

“It’s nothing like that, mom.”

Either because she wanted to be the strength of her worried son, or she really liked the food, his mother smiled and continued to eat.

Jin-Ah, who watched her brother and mother, laughed after swallowing the food in her mouth.

When the meal was almost finished,

[King.]

The voice of 『Bellion』 rang out.

[We’ve put the soldiers on standby as ordered.]

‘I know.’

As if eagerly awaiting his turn, the voice of 『Ber』 followed.

[King, accommodation prepared by the Lieutenant General for you is also available.]

‘…Yes, thank you.’

‘Well, though I never asked for it.’

Jin Woo, after hearing the reports from his shadow generals, rose slowly.

“I’m already full.”

Then Jin Woo, who was about to clean his cutlery, felt something outside and quickly stopped.

‘Four footsteps...’

There was a lot of excitement in his heart.

Even though it wasn’t important for Jin-Woo, the four of them were ordinary people, not Hunters.

‘What is this?’

Surely, no crazy robbers would try to break into the home of an S-Rank Hunter, right?

At the entrance to the apartment, the Hunters were prepared to keep the reporters from entering.

Jin Woo then heard the doorbell ring.

Ting!  Ting!

“I’ll go out.”

Jin Woo left his mother and walked towards the door.

Kieeeet-!

When he opened the door, he saw three young men who were dressed as information agents.

‘I thought it wasn’t the Hunter Bureau.’

Confused, Jin-Woo asked calmly.

“What’s wrong?”

Three strong young men stood before him, and then an older man slowly emerged from behind them.

“Hunter Sung.. I am sorry to have come to you without a call. Could you please give me a little of your time?”

Upon recognizing him, Jin-Woo’s voice rose a little higher.

“..President Yoo Myung-Han.”
