Episode 96

96. Please call our leader.

As Pyo Beom-hee got on the elevator, the two men followed her. She pressed the 11th floor, and the two men pressed the 10th floor. The men standing on either side of her just stared at the decreasing floor numbers. A suffocating silence, as if the air had disappeared, hung over them.

After getting off the elevator, Pyo Beom-hee pretended to stagger as if her poison was rising, and made a show of finding her room with difficulty. As she grabbed her head and glanced behind her, the elevator door that had been closing opened again and two men got out.

Pyobeomhee entered the room and threw herself on the bed, saying she couldn’t stand it any longer. She felt someone looking inside from outside. She sensed the room next door and sent a message skill to Yeom Soohyung.

“Team Leader Yeom, are there guys after us? They’re poisoning me. It’s not even funny.”

“I know. There’s poison in the water in the fridge. It’s not extremely poisonous, though. And they’re advertising it so openly around here. I couldn’t rest at all because of the vicious killing.”

At Yeom Soo-hyung’s words, Pyo Beom-hee expanded her sense of humor.

Although it was not my area of ​​expertise and my exploration was limited, I could definitely feel a tingling sensation everywhere. The man who had followed her was also loitering in the hallway.

She first checked the condition of the brine tank.

“Did you get hit?”

“I became a giant because I neutralized the poison.”

“Giant transformation? Are you okay?”

“Don’t worry. It’s just stage 1. I told you that the adaptation training you’ve been doing wasn’t for nothing.”

“No. Is the room okay?”

「… … .」

“I’m not joking. Seriously. If you’re 3 meters tall, how much do you weigh? Won’t the floor collapse?”

“The floor is fine. The bed is not fine though.”

“Don’t act like you did it when you checked out. It wasn’t you. No. Just send the bill to the Federation. You came here because of them, right?”

“Rather than that, I’m squatting so much that the room is so cramped I could die.”

Leopard Hee imagined what Yeom Su-hyeong would look like if he turned into a giant.

Since he hadn’t yet entered the operation, he probably wouldn’t have been able to wear the special suit made of material that could stretch with magical power.

The thought of being curled up in a small room naked brought a smile to my lips.

“Hehe, you’re going to be naked? If you put on an armor coat, it’ll look just like a bucket hat.”

“That’s too bad. I put it on before I got on the plane.”

“Kkabi. I was going to go take a picture right away and make fun of you for the rest of my life.”

“Stop joking around. What should I do? Should I hit you first?”

If it had been as usual for Leopard Hui, he would have attacked before Yeom Soo Hyung could even ask, but this was Russia.

It was a country where strong public power ruled society, a country where even greater violence coexisted, and a country where corruption was rampant in the hunter community.

If we had launched a preemptive attack at a hotel located in the middle of a city where there were not many people, we might have been falsely accused.

If you caused trouble here, you could at least be banned from entering the country like Joo Se-ah, or at worst, you could be locked up in the world’s worst hunter prison, the ‘Black Owl Prison’, also known as the Ujungdo in Russia.

Although the League’s influence reaches all over the world, its scope for maneuver is limited in countries with different political systems or dictatorships, such as China or Russia.

Pyo Beom-hee was concerned about these parts.

“I don’t want to be locked up in the Owl House. They put two people in a 1.5 pyeong room. If I were locked up with Team Leader Yeom, I’d be crushed and might end up like a rat trap.”

“Is that the sound of waiting?”

“At least you should protect yourself before they barge in. First, go to the Federation guide… What was the guide’s name? Kobe? Corona? Coco?”

“Kozlov.”

“Okay, Mrs. Ko. Let’s discuss it with him and then decide.”

It was when Leopard Hui was trying to send a message to Kozlov.

Kwajik!

“Huh? What’s wrong with the door? I just applied a little force.”

The intruder entered the room without hesitation by tearing open the door.

“!!”

A goosebump appeared on the back of Leopard Hee-eun’s neck. A gigantic presence that she had not noticed until just a moment ago filled the room.

The man spoke as he followed her into the room, his long shadow cast by the hallway light.

“Is this the room or the room next door?”

“I’m sorry. I haven’t checked that yet.”

“Well, does it matter? I guess I can just take care of it and then ask.”

The moment the intruder entered the room, the wall at the entrance to the room collapsed and a blade popped out. The intruder simply tilted his head back to avoid the attack.

It was Kozlov who broke through the wall and attacked. He shouted at the Leopard.

“Ms. Pyobeomhee! Are you okay?!”

“Aren’t you going to be okay?”

The fist of the intruder who answered instead of Leopard Hui was aimed at Kozlov.

Kozlov charged his sword with mana and swung it at the large shadow.

Zzz!

“Huh!”

Surprisingly, the clash of fists and swords resulted in a victory for the fists.

The impact tore Kozlov’s grip on his sword apart. The force was so strong that he was lucky that he didn’t drop his weapon.

‘My A-rank attack is this easy?’

Only then could Kozlov make out the other person’s face under the dim light.

“All, you… … .”

“The Federation puppy is acting too loud.”

The intruder turned around and delivered a backspin blow. The back of his left hand was aimed at Kozlov’s temple. Kozlov quickly raised his left arm to block it, but it was not enough. He fell to the ground with his left arm bone broken.

The intruder laughed at Kozlov, who was seriously injured in just one blow.

“I won’t kill you. The Federation is a bit of a nuisance.”

At that moment.

The leopard print moved.

He took advantage of the moment when the intruder let his guard down and spit out the poison he had been holding in his mouth with all his might.

The colorless, odorless poison that vaporized through her mouth was toxic enough to render even the most skilled hunter unconscious, but it had no effect on uninvited guests. All it could do was make them hesitate for a moment.

As the intruder, who had escaped the effects of the poison in an instant, showed signs of moving, Leopard Tiger jumped back and shouted.

“Team Leader Yeom!”

The wall behind the bed where Leopard Hee was lying exploded, and a giant fist struck the intruder.

“Lord Igor!”

The intruder’s subordinate shouted in panic when his superior was suddenly attacked.

“Jump!”

The salt-type immediately shrank down into a giant body and ran into the room, throwing himself at the glass window.

Clang! Clang!

Leopard Hui carried the fallen Kozlov under his arm, picked up his sword, and jumped down after Yeom Soo-hyung.

The room they left became quiet in an instant.

The intruder, who had been pressed against one side of the wall, slowly crawled out of the rubble and shook the dust off his body.

“The growing guy was in the next room.”

It looks like there wasn’t a single scratch from the attack just now.

But the man next to him was fidgeting as if he didn’t know what to do with the dust that had piled up on his shoulders.

The intruder went to the window where the cold wind was blowing and looked down. He saw his targets sticking their knives into the wall and climbing the hotel wall like a rock climber. In the blink of an eye, they stepped on the ground and ran away with all their might.

The intruder leisurely watched his target escape.

“Those Koreans are quite the people. They ran away even though they were right in front of me. I came out because I was bored with being stuck in Moscow, but it’s been a while since I’ve had fun.”

“Even if you run away, you’ll end up in Vladivostok. I’ll chase you right away.”

“No, that’s fine. It’s not easy to find people who rebel like this in Russia.”

“yes?”

“As a Russian man, how can I leave the hospitality of my guests in someone else’s hands?”

“No way… . Uh, not here. Igor… .”

The intruder jumped out the window before the servant could react.

“…you.”

Su-ha, left alone, looked down at his superior who had landed on the road and clutched his head.

“Ugh… Now, it’s not about the Upumangbauna or Korean hunters. The city is being destroyed by Igor… No, this isn’t the time. Everyone, follow Igor! You mustn’t let him go!”

His shouts caused chaos in the hallway.

* * *

A construction site with a chilling wind blowing.

Leopard Hui helped Kozlov up and sat him down in the corner of the skeletal building.

“Who was that monster just now?”

“Boom, keuhp… It’s the military.”

While Kozlov was answering, Leopard Hui fixed the broken bone. Kozlov, who was distracted for a moment and reacted late, gritted his teeth and endured the pain.

“This isn’t just broken. It’s completely crushed. What should I do? The potions are all inside the carrier… Ouch! The armor coat! I told you I wouldn’t resupply it if I lost it. Ugh, I’m going to hear that again.”

Leopard Hee said, scratching her head as if she was annoyed.

“Oh, what can I do? Anyway, if you don’t get treatment in time, it’ll take a long time for your bones to heal, Mrs. Nose.”

“I’ve survived even after meeting a tyrant, so is it okay for my bones to grow a little late?”

At the construction site, Pyo Beom-hee selected a suitable piece of wood, cut it, and applied a splint. Meanwhile, Yeom Soo-hyung asked questions.

“If you are a tyrant, then Igor Dudnik?”

“you’re right.”

“As expected, he was a big shot. Somehow, the taste of his cooking was not refreshing.”

Yeom Soo-hyung clenched his fist.

Even though it was an attack made in giant form, it didn’t feel like it did much damage to the opponent. I pushed back with my weight, but the moment my fist made contact, it felt like I was blocked by a wall.

It was a nice decision to run away rather than fight back.

“But Russia doesn’t allow the guilds to advance into other cities? That’s why the Tsar’s Guild didn’t ask the tyrant for help. Then there’s no reason for a tyrant to be here.”

Leopard asked curiously. Kozlov shrugged his shoulders and answered.

“I don’t know the reason either. Why Igor came to Vladivostok. If the Kremlin knew about this, they wouldn’t let it slide.”

“No matter what, we need to get out of here first. We can’t fight an S-rank. It would be better to hide… What do you think we should do, Mr. Kozlov? We’re not familiar with the situation here, so we can’t make a judgment call.”

“It would be better to evade, as Mr. Yeom Soo-hyung said. He was aiming at you too accurately. Based on the circumstances, information must have leaked from somewhere. I can’t trust the Tsar’s Guild right now, so I’m hesitant to go there.”

“Is there a place I can hide?”

“There are several safe houses.”

“Okay. Let’s go there for now.”

“Just a moment. Let me contact Director Kang first.”

Just after Pyo Beom-hee dialed the number on her smartphone, someone walked out from a corner of the dark construction site.

It was a mystery how such a large man, who made the large salt-blooded man feel small, could have made no sound.

Leopard Hui bit her lips and muttered the other person’s identity.

“tyrant…….”

Even she, who had a motto of living a happy life, couldn’t help but be serious at this moment.

The sound of a call connecting rang out from the smartphone next to my ear, but I had no time to pay attention.

‘Why aren’t you answering your phone?’

The phone couldn’t be their lifeline, but somehow Pyo Beom-hee felt anxious.

Igor, standing at a reasonable distance, pointed at the salt-blooded man with his finger.

“Hey, you.”

“… … .”

“You have the ability to turn into a giant, right? Try transforming into one. Let’s see how strong you are.”

“Why should I listen to you?”

Igor snickered as Yeom Soo-hyung responded crookedly.

At that moment, the ringing sound on my smartphone was cut off.

“Hello, hello. Chief Kang?”

The next moment, Pyo Beom-hee had no time to listen to Kang Mu-hyeok’s voice coming from her smartphone. It was because the monster in front of her had suddenly become more and more murderous.

“Why? Because… if I don’t transform, I’ll die.”

Igor jumped high and flew in. His fist raised above his head struck the center of Leopard Hui’s group.

Kwaaaaang!

“Whoa! I’m so scared.”

Even as she flew, Leopard Hee didn’t take her ear off her smartphone.

-What’s going on?

“I don’t know! I was suddenly attacked!”

The area around the construction site became noisy. Outside the windows that had not yet been constructed, unidentified hunters were lined up.

“I’ll escape first and then make a phone call! Ask the rest of the Federation guys… … .”

Leopard Hee couldn’t continue her story. Igor, who had come close, snatched the smartphone away and smashed it.

She opened her eyes and was shocked to find her smartphone snatched away. She couldn’t even respond to a light swipe of her hand.

‘I’m pretty confident in my speed, too.’

Igor clenched his fist into the same fist that had smashed the smartphone. The power he had gathered in his hand was enough to shatter an entire area. Everyone present felt the terrifying aura.

“I don’t need you, so would you like to leave now?”

Leopard Hui gave up halfway through the onslaught that continued without any room to fight back.

“Ah, shit, S-rank is cheating.”

At the moment when Igor’s fist was about to hit Leopard’s face.

“Kuhaaaaak!”

The salt-type giant transformed in an instant and attacked Igor.

“Yeah. That’s how it should be!”

Igor laughed heartily as he flew away from the salt-type tackle.

Leopard Hui snatched Kozlov’s sword from behind him and said.

“Kozlov. I’ll clear the way, and you can get out of here.”

“Yes? What about you two? Let’s go together.”

“From that guy?”

In the place where Leopard King pointed, there was Igor, who had grown even bigger than Yeom Soo Hyung. A part of the building collapsed and a fight between the two giants unfolded. Naturally, Yeom Soo Hyung was pushed back. He even used his second transformation in a hurry, but he couldn’t handle it.

“Anyway, we’re the ones who are after it. Not you.”

“If you stay here, you might die.”

“If that was the case, I would have gotten rid of it a long time ago. Instead of playing around like that.”

Kozlov agreed with Leopard Hui’s words.

On the surface, there doesn’t seem to be much of a difference between S-rank and A-rank, but in reality, there is an endless wall between them.

In the first place, it didn’t make sense that the group had been standing still until now.

Even though he knew that, Kozlov was reluctant to go.

When Yeom Soo-hyung staggered as if he couldn’t hold out much longer, Pyo Beom-hee spoke urgently.

“I’m not telling you to just run away. Run away and call our leader.”

“If you are the captain… … .”

“Kang Mu-hyuk! If S-rank doesn’t come, then he’s the only one who can solve this situation!”

* * *

As soon as the call was suddenly disconnected, Kang Mu-hyeok tried to call Pyo Beom-hee again, but the call would not go through at all.

He immediately contacted the Hunter Association. Although Han Byeong-gu was absent, he had given advance notice and went through several security procedures before being connected to Alex.

-What’s the matter, Mr. Kang?

“Our unit lost contact while on the phone in Russia. The last they heard was that someone had attacked them. What is your contact number?”

-Yes? An attack? Please wait a moment. I will check and contact you.

It was only after a long time since the call was disconnected that I received a call.

-Our line isn’t connecting either. I guess something happened.

“What about the Tsar’s Guild?”

-I spoke with you. I don’t know the full story, but what I can confirm is that the hotel where the Iron Will Guild members were staying was attacked. The Vladivostok news reported it as a terrorist attack.

“Terrorism? In Russia? Isn’t there a definite powerhouse in the Vladivostok guild industry? For a terrorist to run wild in such a place is a suicide attempt.”

-Yes. As always in Russia, they probably have media control.

“Okay. Let’s make a hundred concessions and call it terrorism. The Federation sends our guild members to such a dangerous place, and the only information they can gather is what’s on the news. I heard it was an attack.”

When Kang Mu-hyuk pressed him, Alex seemed embarrassed and made an excuse.

-Russia is one of the few countries that has only a liaison office, not a branch of the Federation. Of course, that doesn’t mean we are evading our responsibility. We will do our best to understand the situation… Wait a minute, Mr. Kang. We have received a call from the local area. Please wait without hanging up.

Alex’s voice faded away and soon became quiet.

Kang Moo-hyuk waited patiently. A series of worst-case scenarios were listed in his head.

Either the Upumangbau broke through the cordon, or the Tsar Guild betrayed them, or… … .

‘Well, that’s the worst of the worst.’

The moment I shook my head as if I really didn’t want to think about the worst, I heard Alex’s voice.

-Mr. Kang.

“Please speak.”

-I think you’ll have to go to Russia.
