Episode 101

101. Be careful.

Kang Moo-hyuk requested that the World Hunters’ Federation use its information power.

-Are you really asking me to find out?

“If permission to use Cheonryan doesn’t come, there’s nothing we can do.”

-This is something that can be easily understood even if you are not a clairvoyant. The Federation’s information power is not limited to clairvoyant. However, this is something that can be difficult in another sense.

“I trust you know that you are not in a position to refuse my request.”

-Ha! Okay, I understand. I’ll look into it and get back to you.

“Then, please.”

He left the Tsar Guild headquarters right after finishing his call with Alex.

“Can I borrow your car?”

Anton, who followed Kang Mu-hyeok’s request, handed over his car keys without a word.

I don’t know the motive for doing this, but the result was that I fell for Makar’s sweet talk.

Not only was it embarrassing to lose face, but I also had no idea that there was some plan lurking that could threaten the existence of the guild.

He felt both ashamed and grateful to Kang Mu-hyeok, who had revealed this.

Kang Moo-hyuk once again emphasized the dangers of Makar.

“Considering that he has revealed his identity without making any excuses, there must be more to it. It is not a plan that was simply intended to embarrass the tyrant. Ultimately, he may have had a conflict with the Tsar’s Guild in mind.”

“That means there must be other conspirators within the guild. Let’s check.”

Anton felt indebted to Kang Mu-hyeok as he saw him off. He knew that the road ahead was dangerous, so he couldn’t help but get involved.

“Are you really going to go? If Igor had moved, it would have been too late.”

“Our guild leader is not someone who can be easily defeated. Instead, I would like you to take good care of the newspaper about Makar Voronin.”

“That’s our specialty.”

“Stop meaningless torture. Please give me a proper interrogation.”

“Even though he got hit in the back of the head, he was a member of our family. He’s not being too harsh. But do you really need some support? If it’s urgent, I can send a few guys over.”

It was a question he had already asked once, but Anton asked again.

As I had felt earlier, this Korean seemed to have about ten lives left. Going to a place where we might meet Russia’s best S-rank dog squad without any troops was tantamount to suicide.

“Thank you for your kind words, but I will decline. The minimum escort is sufficient. If we go any further, it could be misunderstood as an ambush and become dangerous.”

Kang Mu-hyeok pointed to Noh Song-rin and politely declined Anton’s offer.

Despite having to go to Sajik, his expression was not dark at all. Instead, only Nosongrin, who had to take on the minimal role of escort, was left in a state of death.

But contrary to Anton’s worries, Kang Mu-hyeok had a corner of his heart that he believed in.

‘They took Team Leader Pyo and Team Leader Yeom without killing them. It must have been because they didn’t want to see any blood. Maybe they let Mr. Kozlov go without killing him to let him know this intention? If my guess is correct, maybe negotiations are possible… ‘

Of course, there was a slight sense of anxiety that it might simply be a whim. The tyrant hunter himself was known to be moody and capricious.

I went out to the parking lot and pressed the car key, and a red sports car honked its horn.

Noh Song-rin blocked Kang Mu-hyeok’s hand as he tried to open the driver’s seat.

“You want to drive yourself? You’re in a hurry? I’ll do it for you.”

Kang Moo-hyuk handed him the car keys. If he wanted to speed, it would be better for Noh Song-rin to drive. With Hunter’s reaction speed, no matter how much he pressed the accelerator, he would drive more safely than an ordinary person.

“Chief Kang! I’ll go too!”

Kozlov, who had followed a step behind, came running.

“I would rather be the one to take the Navigator. I was born and raised in this city, so I know the streets very well. I will show you the fastest route.

“It’s a dangerous place.”

“I owe something to Hunter Leopard and Hunter Yeom Soo. If I leave them alone, my Russian male pride will not allow it.”

Kang Mu-hyeok silently pushed the passenger seat forward and got into the back seat.

“Okay. Let’s go together. The fastest way.”

Joo Seah swam in the direction where the boat disappeared.

The end of the year.

At this time of year, the average temperature in Vladivostok is -12 degrees Celsius, and the lowest is -16 degrees Celsius. The sea temperature is around 2 degrees Celsius. It is an environment that is impossible for a human to endure with bare hands.

Even if the hunter was a superhuman, he would inevitably suffer from low body temperature and loss of stamina if exposed to such an extreme environment for a long period of time.

She had learned from experience that the longer she stayed in the water, the worse it was for her.

‘Come to think of it, it’s been quite a while since I fell into water.’

Joo Seah had an underwater battle against the water snake monster ‘Naga’ at the gate.

Even back then, the ocean was more of a problem than the monsters. Not only was the water resistance preventing free movement, but everything from body temperature, stamina, supplies, to the expedition’s advance and retreat were also problems.

Hunters are superhumans, so at first they looked down on water, but even if they fell into the water, it was still a disadvantage for them.

Joo Seah checked the current situation while recalling that time.

‘I know how to swim. I can maintain my body temperature by circulating mana. I’m confident in my stamina. The equipment was also brought by Captain Kang in advance, so my hands are light. I lost the sword, but it wasn’t custom-made, so that’s a good thing. The problem is… ‘

The question was whether the situation would end just by going out onto land.

‘Even I wouldn’t end it by just throwing it in water.’

They must have prepared a trap.

However, it was difficult to find a direction on a cloudy night when we could not even see the constellations, so we tried to land in a place other than the direction the ship was moving.

‘Maybe he turned on the light and moved the boat on purpose so that I could see it.’

As if telling me to follow if I want.

“Those kids who are so blatant about it, they get beat up so blatantly. You’ll regret it.”

Joo Seah braced herself and swam, reaching land after two hours.

We came against the current that flows from the north along the Russian coast at a speed that is inhuman.

Although her physical strength was depleted even more, Joo Se Ah jumped up onto the high breakwater of the dock without losing a breath.

Although he looked like a rat with wet bare feet, his eyes resembled those of a wild beast.

A large searchlight shone in the direction Joo Sea was looking.

She lowered her eyes and took a deep breath, focusing the light on her body as if she were standing on stage.

‘Coming.’

I could feel the presence of numerous hunters. They were hunters with a minimum rank of B or higher and a maximum rank of A+ or lower.

Some of them were showing off an aura that even a fully-fledged Joo Se Ah wouldn’t easily be able to see.

It was a life or death crisis, but she smiled instead.

My hair stood on end. My spine tingled. My toes were ticklish.

Cat’s eye.

It felt like something was awakening inside me.

‘This is it, this is it. You have to fight like this to become stronger.’

As I felt, Joo Se Ah’s skills were stagnant.

Originally, I was a combat veteran who grew stronger through tough battles, but I haven’t done a proper raid since leaving Slayer.

Because of that, development was slow.

Everyone held him up and even created the term “S-Rank”, but he himself was growing impatient because he could not rise any higher.

It was not long ago, while fighting the Goblin Godmother, that the wall he had felt was beginning to break down.

To be exact, it was because of the ‘unknown being’ summoned by the godmother.

‘I almost died. It was the first time in a long time that I thought I might die. No, it was the first time that I was so terrified that I would definitely disappear.’

To overcome that fear and protect Kang Mu-hyeok, he stood in the way of the unknown being.

Since then, everything has changed.

I didn’t know what had changed, but something was changing.

The one who noticed the change that even she couldn’t sense was the elf of the alliance, Ayla.

‘I really need to make sure this time that I’ve jumped over that wall.’

It was the moment when Joo Se Ah started walking towards the young gazes of her enemies.

“!!”

I felt the hunters who had been hiding behind the strong light and surrounding me suddenly retreat.

And a shadow slowly and alone approaches along the breakwater.

His footsteps were shaggy, as if he had come out to drink in the middle of the night, but he felt more intimidated than the dozens of hunters ahead of him.

The shadow finally came close enough to see the face and asked.

“Will you give me a four-year-old?”

“Who are you?”

“Igor Dudnik.”

“Huh? You’re the best from the beginning?”

If you were a hunter, you would tremble at the mere mention of the tyrant’s name…

Joo Seah’s reaction was indifferent.

Igor smiled, delighted at the sight.

“I need to catch the little guys to level up, but I feel bad because the boss came first.”

“You don’t have to be sorry. It would have been worth it to come all the way to Russia if you had that kind of handicap.”

Igor spoke to the confident Joo Se Ah as if he truly felt sorry for her.

“Unfortunately, I found out too late. I didn’t know my subordinates were up to something this fun. If I had known sooner, I wouldn’t have treated you like this.”

“Why? If you knew, you would have come out to meet me on a yacht.”

“I wish I could see the skills of Korea’s strongest hunter before I get tired. I wanted to fight him while he was still a bit more energetic.”

The tension rose with every word exchanged.

Igor’s murderous aura, which dominated the space, poked Jusea here and there.

Joo Seah did not react to anything, but instead focused all of her energy on Igor’s neck. Then, with refined murderous intent, she imagined cutting off Igor’s neck dozens of times.

“They say it was the best during the Great War. As expected, Korean kids are fun, huh?”

Igor noticed where Jusea was aiming, touched his neck, and raised the corners of his mouth.

At that moment, Joo Se Ah ran towards me.

The club she swung struck Igor in the neck. Igor pulled his head back, narrowly avoiding the blade, and struck Ju Se Ah in the face with his fist.

Joo Se Ah’s head snapped back. Her mouth burst open and blood splashed onto the floor. How long has it been since I’ve seen my own blood?

A moment too late, the sound of a rupture followed the empty space where Igor’s fist had passed.

“Oh! Quite a solid body… … .”

Before he could finish his sentence, Igor’s chin shot up into the air. Joo Seah took her raised foot away, turned around, and kicked him in the back of the head.

Igor rolled back a few dozen steps along the breakwater he had walked from and immediately stood up.

“This is better than I expected. It’s quite spicy.”

“It’s the feet.”

“No matter what, fighting is done with bare hands.”

“I said it was a foot.”

“Tsk! I can’t even set the mood right now. It’s making me lose my appetite.”

“I’m not going to film a romance. Why should I match the mood with you?”

Igor’s face turned red and blue. He felt like the other person was making fun of him.

Wherever he went, every hunter feared him. Or admired him.

But now, a hunter from a small peninsula treats himself like this?

“I guess I need to show you some of the cold taste of Siberia.”

“You talk too much. I guess you’re a talkative by nature. Stop talking and come at me, you Siberian Husky.”

“… … .”

What does that mean? Why the dog all of a sudden? Is this provocation? I couldn’t figure out what it meant at all.

One thing is for sure, I feel strangely off.

‘Whatever it is, it’s probably just a way to counter me when I get mad and rush in. It’s so obvious it’s not even funny.’

Igor saw through Jusea’s plan and responded to the provocation.

“You died today!”

* * *

Alex groaned involuntarily as he read the information he received from Federation headquarters.

“Ugh, I didn’t know things would turn out like this. We just had to take the test… … .”

Through the process of catching Woopoomangbaou, all that was needed was to examine Kang Moo-hyeok’s qualifications for membership in the federation. However, strangely, things got entangled, and the situation became quite complicated and chaotic.

In that respect, the information that Kang Mu-hyeok requested was of great significance in solving the case.

.

.

.

“Nazezinski… … .”

Alex also confirmed the Nadzhinski region.

Nadzhinsky was a pioneer development zone located 30 kilometers from Vladivostok. It was a satellite city, similar to a new city in Korea, and was a large-scale project built with the goal of housing a population of 300,000.

‘Yeah, it was, right? It’s gone now.’

That large planned city was completely destroyed by an incident 14 years ago.

“So Igor Dudnik and the Tsar Guild were involved in that.”

Alex broke into a cold sweat as he looked at the list of hunters and civilian staff from the Nazareth clan who had joined the Tsar’s Guild.

Although everyone enlisted at different times, their purpose was probably the same.

plural.

It seemed like he had been preparing for that one thing for over ten years.

‘Woofumangbau was the trigger. The Federation’s test lit the fire there.’

In short, the timing was bad. It was just when the Nadzhinskis were determined to take revenge.

Alex’s face became even more troubled after going over the past incident.

‘Igor wasn’t aiming for Vladivostok for nothing. No, to be exact, was it the Dudnik brothers?’

Alex opened the attached document at the end of the report. It was information that Kang Mu-hyeok had specifically requested. He took a deep breath and turned the page.

“Ugh, bad feelings are never wrong, as they say. Captain Kang’s prediction was right. This is the worst.”

Alex let out several hot sighs that had built up in his chest and picked up the phone.

“It’s Alex, Captain Kang. Yes. I think your guess was right. Be careful.”

“Little brother always says that’s the problem. He gets excited by himself. That’s why I tried to do it secretly.”

Darden Dudnik, the Bugilma of the Tyran Guild, watched Igor fight on the breakwater and shook his head.

The breakwater was no longer functioning as a breakwater.

Tetrapods, which were built to block the rough waves, were broken and scattered in all directions, looking more like sand castles than concrete.

With each punch and kick, my ears felt like a bomb had exploded.

Dardenne was impressed by the sight.

“That woman is quite something. She withstood my brother’s punch. If she had been hit like that, she would normally have turned into a blood clot and you wouldn’t be able to tell if she was human or a monster.”

“Isn’t that because Gilma-nim is dealing with a sturdy toy for the first time in a long time?”

A member of the Tyran Guild tried to flatter Darden.

But Dardenne clicked his tongue and replied:

“You think you got hit with that as a joke? Can you take a punch from your brother that was thrown as a joke?”

“That, that is… … .”

“That’s already too much. It’s crossed the line of jokes. It seems like it’s getting more and more serious… I wish it would end here.”

Dardenne, as always, was sensitive to the disruption of his plans due to Igor’s whims.

At that time, new news was delivered from his subordinates.

“A sports car at the entrance? Anton’s car number?”

“Yes. But the people inside are Koreans and members of the Federation.”

“You’re quick-witted. I guess our spy was caught?”

“What should we do?”

“Bring him. Be polite. Don’t kill him.”

“yes.”
