Episode 443

#443. I didn’t want to come all this way and kill anyone.

Zhao Keji was speechless. He didn’t understand what Kang Muhyuk was saying. How could a negotiation come to fruition out of nowhere? No matter how much he thought about it, Gloria Guild never showed any such signs.

Then there is only one possibility left.

‘Kang Mu-hyeok did something… …’

If I had done that, what would I have done?

Zhao Keji was more concerned about what Jiang Wuhyuk had done than the fact that he finally had a chance to achieve something.

He asked again to confirm.

“So what Director Kang is saying is that the negotiation table for the Flying Seahorse has been set up, and that Korea, China, and Japan will jointly participate in it?”

“Although it is called negotiation, you can see that exports have actually been decided. The quantity to be exported to each country has also been decided. The quantity that can be shipped has been divided into three parts. You just need to coordinate the details for each country. The price has also been agreed upon to be increased by 50% from the existing shipping price.”

“Thirds? Fifty percent? Who the hell decided that?! Vittorio Gilmar? Or you… … .”

“Edoardo Asburgoeste.”

Zhao Keji sucked in a breath of air.

‘The Archduke?!’

He knew that the person who had been blocking the export was Edoardo.

But the fact that he suddenly approved the export was beyond puzzling; it was baffling. And that bafflement soon turned into shock.

‘The fact that Kang Moo-hyuk knows that the Grand Duke’s decision was not even detected in our intelligence network means that he negotiated it himself.’

How did you manage to meet an S-rank? No, was Edoardo a hunter who could negotiate in the first place?

Zhao Keji couldn’t even think of organizing his complicated thoughts. Kang Muhyuk opened his mouth.

“I know that the Hwangryong Guild doesn’t have good feelings toward Iron Will. There was a fight between Biwonjun Bugilma and our guild leader Ju Seah, and he was badly injured, so it’s understandable that they feel that way. Of course, there’s also the matter of Director Guanhong, but right now is a time when cooperation is needed more than fighting.”

“Now, wait a minute. Are Biwonjun and Joo Sea Gilma going to fight? When?”

“Oh… You didn’t know? We had a quick fight in the Shinuiju Triangle.”

Zhao Keji’s confusion was compounded. He did not even know that Bi Yuanjun had fought Zhou Shiya.

Guan Hong, who was the head of the strategy team at the time, deleted all records of this battle.

There was also the intention of hiding Biwonjun’s injury, but it was obvious that the fact that one of China’s top S-ranked hunters was defeated in a battle with Joo Se Ah, who had just become S-ranked, would have repercussions that were greater than just a loss of face.

The hunters who guarded the hospital where Biwonjun was admitted were also under the direct command of Bugilma, so they kept their mouths shut and no word of it leaked out.

Moreover, since this incident occurred before Zhao Keji had yet to emerge as a mainstream member of the guild, he had no way of knowing about it.

‘As expected, Director Zhao Keji didn’t know.’

Kang Mu-hyeok had heard a lot of information about the Hwangryong Guild from Gwan Hong, so he was aware of this background.

He deliberately created confusion by taking advantage of Zhao Keji’s ignorance of the fight between the two S-ranks.

Even though the Flying Seahorse Gun was right in front of him, Zhao Keji couldn’t concentrate on his mission.

The fight between the representative hunters of Korea and China was a very big event.

“Okay, I’ve said everything I wanted to say. I’ll take my leave now.”

“Wait a minute! Are you just going to leave like this? Since you’re here, why don’t you have a drink and get to know each other… .”

“I don’t like alcohol. And I said I wanted to cooperate, not become friends. Well, I’ll see you tomorrow.”

Kang Mu-hyeok turned his back coldly. Thomas followed him, and Hyun Jeong-geon also looked back and forth between Xiao Zhan and the hotel where Yuan Hao was staying, before turning around.

Zhao Keji tried to hold on to Jiang Wuhyeok. If he refused to sit down, he planned to force him to do so.

At that time, Kang Mu-hyeok turned his head first.

“Oh! Just in case, I’m telling you. There are two men in the lobby over there. The one with blond hair and the one with brown hair. They’re hunters from the Gloria Guild. The Grand Duke was so kind to give them an escort.”

Zhao Kezhi sat back down on his chair, and Jiang Muhyuk left the lobby.

As soon as Kang Mu-hyeok left, the Gloria Hunters who had been in the lobby also ran after him.

Zhao Keji, who was left in the cafe, could not easily leave. His subordinates were the same. They were all too concerned about their superior’s reaction to speak to him.

Xiao Zhan, who could not stand to see this, took up the gun and stepped forward.

“What are you going to do? Should we immediately mobilize all our resources to dig up the background of Kang Mu-hyeok and the Gloria Guild?”

“Haven’t you seen the hunters that the Gloria Guild gave you? You can’t commit the same mistake as the Tacho Detective. If Kang Mu-hyeok wasn’t lying, you might end up offending the Grand Duke.”

“What if it’s really a lie?”

“I heard that the author doesn’t play around with people’s lives. He’s out now, and the situation is serious, so he can’t do anything else.”

“Do you trust Kang Moo-hyuk’s reputation?”

“If you don’t believe it, then our information lines are a mess. I hate to admit it, but that alone deserves respect. Of course, this industry has long since lost the noble spirit of fighting to protect people.”

“You’re smart, but your actions are stupid. You’re obsessed with that kind of thing. You won’t live long like that. Even a hunter needs to know how to compromise to survive, so how can someone who isn’t even a hunter act like that without knowing how scary a tiger is?”

Zhao Keji couldn’t agree with Xiao Zhan’s words.

That’s because there are such fools in China too. Of course, he’s an S-rank.

‘If even a fool is that upright, he is a dangerous fool. Kang Moo-hyuk… … Maybe it’s not Joo Se-ah but the author who needs to disappear from Korea.’

* * *

Kang Moo-hyuk found the car he had left at the valet and got behind the wheel. Hyun Jeong-geon had come by taxi, so he got into the backseat.

He wanted to ask about the conversation he had just had with Zhao Keji, but since Kang Muhyuk didn’t say much, he decided to wait quietly until he could tell him.

‘But you’re not taking Mr. Joe? Well, I guess it doesn’t matter.’

Hyun Jeong-geon said a quick goodbye and laid down on the sheet as he headed to the hotel where Mr. Cho was staying.

At that moment, Kang Mu-hyeok, who had been driving without saying a word, stepped on the brake.

Hyun Jeong-geon became nervous when the car stopped at the hotel entrance.

“Is this a raid?”

“No, you little punk.”

The backseat car door suddenly opened with a thick swear word and an unfamiliar woman stuck her head in.

Hyun Jeong-geon intuitively sensed that this woman was Mister Cho.

“What is that appearance?”

“Sunset.”

“What is that ominous name?”

Mr. Joe ignored Hyun Jeong-geon, who was making a strange face, and spoke to Kang Mu-hyeok.

“Captain, you managed to remember this scene.”

“I saw your face once when I went to the black market. Come on. Let’s go.”

As soon as Mr. Cho got in, Kang Moo-hyuk started the car. As soon as she got in the car, she let out a long sigh of relief.

“Whoa, if I go on vacation twice, my neck will fly off.”

“You got out okay? Won Hao must not have been such an easy target. How did you get out? I thought you would die without being able to move.”

Before answering Hyun Jeong-geon’s question, Mr. Cho glared at him with a sharp gaze.

“Hey, Mr. Hyun. You were going to leave me behind, weren’t you?”

“Me? No way. I believed I could escape.”

“You just thought you were going to die?”

“Me? Are you hearing poorly? I must have misheard.”

“He was waving his hand while looking straight towards the hotel.”

“Your eyes are good. To see that at this hour of the night.”

“This kid. He’s gonna blow his big asshole off!”

“Even if you break it, tell me how it turned out. I’m curious.”

“How did you get out? You came out like a pro. Do you think this is the first or second time I’ve experienced something like this?”

Mr. Joe’s escape story was as follows.

She grabbed Won Hao’s wrist and complained as if she was being wronged. By doing so, she was able to buy time and copy Won Hao’s appearance.

Then, when he was locked in the room until the interrogation, he took the opportunity to do something while Yuan Hao was away to interrogate the unconscious Wang Hedi.

There are five hunters protecting her.

Three outside the room, two inside the room.

In the current situation, there is no great concern about Mr. Joe, who is still angry at Shikai.

Mr. Joe kept boasting that he had done well and that he would probably receive a generous award when this was over. Then he said he would treat his friends here to a big meal and showed off his leisure.

Then he left the room pretending to go to the bathroom for a moment.

The hunters who were watching her knew that she would not be able to escape since her comrades were outside anyway, so they did not watch her closely. In their eyes, Shikai’s achievements were greater than her accomplishments.

Knowing that Zhao Keji is a very tight-fisted person, I thought that this was just a procedure to make things clear, as it always was.

While he was entering the bathroom near the entrance, the two hunters in the room looked away for a moment, and Mr. Joe sneaked out of the bathroom.

At that time, her appearance was not Shikai. It was another hunter who had been copied in the elevator.

“At that time, I opened the hotel room door slightly and closed it without going out. Since the guards outside didn’t come out, I just ignored them and let them pass. While doing that, I waved my hand with a different face and pretended to just enter the room. The kids inside the room would think that a new person had entered the room. At that time, I could say something like, ‘Hey, I heard Shikai was caught? Where’s he?’ He was the guy who went drinking with Shikai, so they must have been close. When I said that, they ignored me and said, ‘To the bathroom.’ You can tell what happens next. Quickly and naturally make contact with one of them, copy them, and transform into that person while leaving the room. Make an excuse like Won Hao called you on the phone. After that, as soon as you turn the hallway, transform into Won Hao in the blind spot of the CCTV. That’s how you escape. Ta-da!”

When Mr. Cho described a spy movie, Hyun Jeong-geon applauded in admiration.

“Oh, as expected, Korea’s best spy. He’s popular even in the world? No wonder Chief Kang is crazy about him.”

“Ahem, now you know what I’m capable of… Hey, don’t try to gloss over it. Now that your curiosity has been satisfied, all that’s left to do is break your skull, right?”

“Are you really trying to break it?”

Hyun Jeong-geon, who had been smiling brightly and praising Mr. Cho just a moment ago, had disappeared without a trace. Instead, he had returned to the appearance of an assassin with a cold murderous aura.

Mr. Joe showed his teeth without any hesitation.

“It’s been fun. Now, rest easy.”

“Okay. I didn’t like the name Noeulji in the first place. Let’s decide now.”

It was when the two people were raising their spirits with their foreheads turning red.

“Stop. If you keep doing that, I’ll have to take action. I didn’t want to come all the way here and kill anyone.”

Thomas’ one word erased my life.

“yes.”

“Today is a day without hands, so it’s hard to see blood.”

Kang Moo-hyuk nodded in satisfaction as Thomas subdued the problem children in one breath.

Today was another peaceful Iron Will.
