Episode 157. Tailing Mission
“Who is this! Come in!”

“It’s been a while.”

Mr. Choi Jae-sik, the head of the Gwangmyeong branch of the Immigration Office whom I met after a long time, welcomed me very warmly.

“It doesn’t seem like it’s been that long since I last saw you, but how much growth has you seen in that time? Is that scary?”

“Haha. That’s too kind of you.”

“No. I was afraid this would happen, so I tried to hold on tight early on! What a pity, what a pity.”

He bit his lip and seemed very sorry that he couldn’t catch me.

Suddenly, I remembered the first time I met Choi Jae-sik.

‘When I first came to Seoul, he offered me a fight at an illegal fighting stadium.’

It was a pretty good memory for me.

Thanks to that, I was able to increase my initial capital significantly, and they also showed a lot of consideration for me.

‘That was the best thing of all.’

Choi Jae-sik was neat.

After I won the game and made a lot of money.

He offered me an extra match, and I declined.

‘It could have been stickier there…’

Then he coolly let me go.

At that time, I was just a mere 4-star hunter.

‘Did you want to go beyond that and become friendly with her?’

It was an old memory so I wasn’t sure.

All I remember is that he gave me his business card and told me to contact him if I needed any help.

“Well, you’re not a mere one-hit wonder from the underground arena. Your subsequent actions are astonishing! You’re already a 6-star hunter and have even received a scout offer from the Guild of Destiny?”

“…Has that already become a big rumor?”

“That’s not it, I heard it through my close hunter friends!”

Choi Jae-sik burst out laughing.

And then.

“So, is there a favor you want me to ask you?”

Let’s get straight to the point.

“hmm….”

“Isn’t it a waste of time for both of you? You probably didn’t just call me to have a meal.”

“That’s true.”

I readily agreed.

Certainly, that was true.

‘It’s been quite a while since I’ve contacted you.’

Actually, I had something to ask of Choi Jae-sik.

“I want to go out of Seoul.”

“That’s not difficult. You don’t have to ask me, right?”

“…I don’t want to leave a record.”

“… … Are you asking me to secretly send out the records?”

“yes.”

I told him what I wanted to do.

I want to leave Seoul by illegal means.

‘Because we have to send the suicide squad to Incheon.’

We had planned to steal the Gaia Cult’s sacred relics from Incheon.

However, I was unable to use the Gangseo Immigration Office that I originally planned to pass through, and it became difficult to leave Seoul without damage.

What I decided to try then was to persuade this branch manager in front of me, Gwangmyeong.

Gulp.

I swallowed dry saliva.

‘Will you listen to me?’

Honestly, I wasn’t very confident.

It was clear that Choi Jae-sik and I were close, but it wasn’t enough to warrant such a dangerous request.

“Hmm.”

I watched him as he stroked his chin and thought deeply.

As if he had finished his worries, Choi Jae-sik opened his mouth.

“Why do you want to leave? Are you able to tell me?”

Of course I can’t say.

Because there was no guarantee that Choi Jae-sik would not reveal our plans.

“…It’s better if you don’t know.”

It was also for his sake.

If it becomes known that we attacked the Gaia Church, they will also suffer.

At that time, simply participating in an illegal act and participating in an attack on the Gaia Church would be treated differently.

After hearing this, Choi Jae-sik spoke coolly.

“Well, that’s good.”

“Then you will listen…?”

“okay.”

“thank you.”

I bowed my head in gratitude.

After all, it was like saving the plan itself from going awry.

“But it’s not free.”

“That goes without saying.”

I had no intention of asking for it in the first place.

There must be some benefit to the opponent as well.

“You’ll have to pay me more because I don’t know what I’m doing.”

“That’s only natural.”

As the risk increased, it was natural that the demand for return would increase.

furthermore.

‘It’s all about money anyway….’

There are virtually no money issues when it comes to working with Geum Yoo-kang, the head of Geumwa Group, the 8th largest conglomerate in South Korea.

Especially if it’s for public use like this rather than personal use.

“You really are good at communicating! Hehehe.”

“I hope we can maintain a good relationship in the future.”

“Of course!”

So we concluded a cool deal.

‘good.’

Now that one big problem has been solved… .

‘The holy relic. I’ll take it away from you.’

It was time to start the operation.

* * *

The next day.

Before heading to Incheon, Yoon Ji-ho was seen off by Eugene.

“You know, it can be dangerous.”

“I’m prepared, hyung.”

He nodded toward Eugene with a determined expression.

“If it seems dangerous at all… … no.”

Eugene tried to ask something, but eventually closed his mouth.

Yoon Ji-ho knew.

‘I have to run for revenge, but even in the meantime, my brother is worried about me.’

About Eugene’s dilemma.

I must seek revenge, but to do so I must have the ruthlessness to put myself at risk.

so.

‘I need to become stronger.’

From the beginning, I should have let Eugene know that he didn’t have to worry about that.

No matter how dangerous it was, Yoon Ji-ho would do anything for Eugene.

“Brother Eugene.”

“… .”

“I remember all the things you helped me with.”

It was true.

All this time, Yoon Ji-ho has only been receiving help from Eugene.

When we first met.

By redefining the value of ‘justice’, you can now properly utilize the ‘Hero of Justice’ trait.

After that, he followed Eugene’s movements and even acquired Aura.

It didn’t end there.

Thanks to Eugene, he, who was just a porter, was recognized as a ‘hunter’.

If Eugene hadn’t negotiated in my favor, it wouldn’t have been possible.

Afterwards, he was worried about his weakness, so he offered him the ‘Guardian’ position, which helped him build a foundation to become stronger.

He also revealed the hidden awakening condition for the “Hero of Justice” trait.

Even though it was for a mission, I also got the ‘Cursed Thorn Pendant’ along with the ‘Stealth’ skill.

Even acquiring the Auror Blade and becoming a 6-star Hunter was accomplished under Eugene’s influence.

‘My brother has done this much for me. Honestly, if I don’t repay the favor, I’m worse than a dog.’

Yoon Ji-ho slowly recited everything he had received from Eugene.

It would take a considerable amount of time just to say everything.

“So, hyung, don’t be too sorry. I will definitely succeed in this mission for you!”

“……okay.”

Eugene didn’t speak for long.

In reality, he was thinking, ‘Why do you think you owe me all that? Anyway, I don’t need to be the first to say no, right?’, but Yoon Ji-ho just thought about it as it was convenient.

‘As expected. My brother has a heavy heart.’

In his head, Eugene was a benefactor, a role model, a perfect person… something like that.

“… .”

“… .”

Yoon Ji-ho threw in a joke to lighten the already heavy atmosphere.

“By the way, hyung! You’re really amazing! Everyone was so surprised that you solved something that CEO Geum couldn’t solve in just a few hours!”

“That’s what happened.”

“Everyone was wondering how to get out of Seoul, but when Hyung solved it, did you see the look in his eyes? Wow… I really thought that back then. Hyung Eugene is really an amazing person!”

This was the story of when Eugene persuaded the head of the Gwangmyeong branch of the Immigration Office.

The atmosphere definitely relaxed a bit more as we talked about lighter topics.

Eugene smiled and held out his hand.

“Then Jiho, please take care of me.”

“Don’t worry, bro!”

Yoon Ji-ho grabbed her hand.

Now, it was truly time to throw myself into the dangerous world.

* * *

Yoon Ji-ho.

He was able to easily head to Incheon with the help of the Gwangmyeong branch manager of the Immigration Office, who Eugene had introduced to him.

‘Certainly, it’s dangerous outside Seoul.’

It was different from Seoul, which was full of energy and had people everywhere.

We just crossed one boundary line.

‘There are many destroyed buildings and people are listless.’

The quality of life was on a whole other level.

Of course, it was not that I didn’t know.

Because Yoon Ji-ho wasn’t a native of Seoul.

He too has a past of living in a place like this, or even worse.

only.

‘…I forgot.’

I was just enjoying the benefits of Seoul citizenship, which I could only receive by paying 100 million won in taxes annually.

If you think about it, if it weren’t for Eugene, Yoon Ji-ho might have been kicked out here sooner or later because he couldn’t afford the citizenship fee.

anyway.

‘So, you have to work hard.’

Yun Ji-ho, who had renewed his resolve, headed towards Incheon and searched for the Knights and Priests who might be somewhere.

If necessary, you can buy information, and one day, you can save people from the Eruption Gate.

Of course, this could only be done as long as it did not interfere with the mission.

fortunately.

“Oh, thank you, sir.”

“What? Haven’t you seen dozens of people gathering around recently?”

“Oh! I saw it! About three hours ago? He went over there!”

“Thank you. This is a gift.”

“Oh, thank you! I’ll enjoy it!”

Such kindness was not in vain.

It took a short investment of time to figure out the movement path of the Gaia Cult forces.

Yoon Ji-ho quickly closed the distance between himself and the guys.

They hid their identities, but because there were so many of them, they could not completely hide their movements.

Not long after that.

‘Found it!’

He could spot dozens of groups moving in the distance.

‘… They’re right.’

About 70 humans.

They didn’t reveal their identities, but Yoon Ji-ho, who had reached the 6th star level, could tell.

The majority of them were melee fighters, with about a dozen of them being healers.

It was the Knights Templar and the Priests.

‘It would have been hard to find him if he had gone into hiding after arriving, so that’s a relief.’

Yun Ji-ho was grateful that he could catch up quickly, and he activated his “Stealth” skill to carefully tail them.

and.

“Stop! Everyone is resting in this area. Be careful not to be seen.”

“Understood, Captain!”

The one who seemed to be their leader ordered them to rest.

‘Have we arrived?’

Perhaps this was where the relics of the Gaia Church would appear.

Yoon Ji-ho relayed the current location to Eugene and continued to observe the guys.

There was nothing particularly unusual, and the “Hide” skill did a great job of hiding Yun Ji-ho from the guys.

As long as you watch out for the commander of the paladin, who is probably a 7-star, you won’t get caught.

‘……uh?’

but.

I didn’t expect this.

“Check your surroundings, there might be rats.”

“Understood! “Judgment.”

“Judgment.”

Hwaaaaak-

This was something even Eugene had not expected.

They cast “Judgment” randomly into the air… .

‘… Ugh. Shit…!’

This also reached where Yoon Ji-ho was hiding.

Yoon Ji-ho tried to hold out as long as possible.

“Ugh, ughhhhhhhh…!”

“Hmm? There was a rat hiding there.”

I couldn’t bear the excruciating pain.

Thud, thud.

He thought as he looked at the commander of the paladin approaching him.

‘I will never… give up! Even for hyung Eugene…!’

Absolutely, I can’t harm Eugene.

“Judgment.”

“Keuhaaaa …
