I Was Discharged From the Hunter Guild

139 – It just disappears after doing what needs to be done

“Kuh… Ughhh..”

In a dark room…

There, the man sat alone and wept.

A man gulping down soju from the bottle with a miserable look on his face

The eyes were dark and dead, as if they hadn’t even slept.

Beneath his chin was a thick, unshaven beard.

The outfit was filthy because it had not been changed for several days.

There was not even a hint of life in his eyes.

This man, worse than a beggar on the street, was the one who held and shook the military power of this country just a few days ago…

He was a man who held the position of vice minister and at the same time was the head of the Lee family, the largest warlord in Korea.

But… at this moment, in this human figure here, none of the glory of that time could be found.

The sight of him lying on the floor, drinking canned soju, is literally worse than a homeless man on the street who has given up on life.

In his hand.. the figure of the child that he will no longer be able to see.

It contained the image of his beloved daughter.

“Keuheuk.. Sena.. my daughter.. you.. how did you…”

The existence that was his greatest pride and the biggest purpose that made him live his life so far.

He has faced many hardships in his life, but nonetheless, he has been the strength to overcome them.

The death of such a daughter came as such a great shock to Vice Minister Lee Jae-min, who was still politically fatal.

The daughter’s obituary was like a death sentence that everything was over now.

Vice Minister Lee Jae-min, unable to accept this for a while, rushed to find his daughter somehow, but eventually got out of his hands due to the people around him and a series of mistakes. I had no choice but to make

At the end of his daughter’s funeral, he lost all will to live…

He was living a life of dying day by day, confined to a villa in the countryside, abandoning all power and family.

However, even so, he couldn’t die right away.

Because he still had one last thing to do.

‘At least…if at least I could salvage the child’s body…if I could find even one bone fragment…’

Although a grand funeral was held, the child’s body was not in the coffin.

In response, Lee Jae-min did his best to find his daughter somehow, but it was impossible for him, who had already lost power, to bring his daughter’s body in the middle of enemy lines.

In the end, all he was left with was helplessly waiting for the military to push the front line up again and advance to Pyongan-do, where the child’s body and belongings would remain.

‘… Until then… I’ll have to hold on… There’s no one else to pick up the child if it’s not me… After that’s over, I can finally follow the child…

So, with a loss of will.

With only a small wind that seems to be cut off…

For the last thing to do, the real power of the Korean military in the past is living while holding his breath. Lee Jae-min.

And at that time…

Watching him in the dark who is enduring day by day by relying on alcohol in such despair…

The person calmly started calling somewhere.

“As you said… it seems people have completely lost their taste.”

-“That’s right.. since the daughter he cherished so much is dead. As a parent, I understand.”

“What should I do? If you have to, cutting his throat like this is…”

-“No, that’s too lenient, how many people have died because of him so far. Since it happened like this, let it suffer a little more and thoroughly use it. Even for the soldiers who were sacrificed because of that human…”-

“I see what you mean.”

The one who speaks in a calm voice.

Then, a different, more subdued voice began to be heard in the person’s ears, different from the serious tone from before.

– “By the way… have you seen your friend’s face this time? Sonbin… No, did you say Talos? I heard that he somehow miraculously came back alive.”

“No.. now is the time for that..”

– “If not now, when will we meet? As I always say, we are at war now. I don’t think it’s good to put off work when you don’t know what will happen tomorrow.”

“… ha..”

It may feel like a useless far-fetched story, but on the other hand, it’s a story that hits the mark.

At this, the person sighed lightly and honestly talked about his heart.

“I understand what you mean.. But, I don’t think someone like me deserves such happiness now. don’t you know? What I’ve done so far. I don’t want to let the punishment fall on those children who got involved with something like me for no reason.”

-“..I don’t think the existence of God is so harsh.”-

The person who speaks in a voice filled with the words.

About this… he spoke with a bitter smile on his lips.

“Thank you for saying that, but I’m really fine. Now all I have left is to do what I have to do for them and disappear. Just being able to do that… I think I’ve been saved enough.”

-“… I’m sorry…”-

The person who quietly finishes contact with the end of that word.

Right after that… he… no, she…

As he slowly gazed up at the night sky, he had a lonely smile on his lips.

‘Yeah.. this is enough… the miracle that couldn’t happen happened?

It was a law that required such an incident to change the dynamics of power.

It is the clear mistakes of those who held power, the disappearance of predecessors, and the emergence of new powers.

There was room for it to be done in a variety of ways.

And at this moment…

Korean military…

Considering the wartime situation, the pie named the real power of the Republic of Korea was divided into three pieces.

Although weakened, the Lee family still had power.

Against this, a new force trying to seize power by allying with politicians who had held administrative powers but were practically cold rice.

And.. Neutralists who have not yet decided on a clear direction while looking at their moves.

Their confrontation was causing a great obstacle in the process of deciding on the part of the war that dealt with the division beyond a simple power struggle, and it was showing such a situation very clearly even at this moment.

“That is to say, there is a problem with the current protocol process. In the meantime, I’ve been going over and over, but in fact, if you look closely, aren’t the National Assembly Speaker and party representatives the first to be greeted?”

“That’s right. Everything should be done according to the principles, and now we need to correct what was passed on as customary.”

“Stop talking nonsense!”

“You guys, I don’t think you understand the situation, but this country is still at war! Of course, soldiers fighting in the battlefield should be treated well, so the morale of the army will rise!”

“ha..”

Even today, humans are having a useless dog fight over protocol-related issues from the start.

Looking at the meaningless bickering despite the piled up agenda ahead of us.

That person…

A person who belongs to a neutral faction and actually leads them.

Republic of Korea Navy

General Choi Yeon automatically began to frown.

‘With all this, I can’t digest even half of the agenda that was raised today..’

Currently, there are more than 40 items on the agenda in front of them. If I wanted to take care of this within today, I would not have enough time even if I started working right away.

However, even in this situation, these beggars were engaged in a meaningless fight called a power struggle, which made Choiyeon, who wanted to focus on work at all costs, automatically build up dissatisfaction.

And at the same time, she was waiting even more eagerly.

I hope this disgusting situation will end soon..

May ‘that day’ come as soon as possible… and everything will work normally.

‘For that reason, this time too, that person… Lieutenant Jinhyeon Lee will have to solve the problem well… Once again, an overwhelming victory that will charm everyone…’
