Episode 160
Kim Woong said with a bewildered expression at the brilliance of the white light enveloping his body.
“This is the brilliance…”
“It took me a while to figure it out because there are so few similar skills.”
The green skill stone that Woong Kim has learned is a skill that creates a sword made of that light after being enveloped in brilliance for 10 minutes.
During those 10 minutes, Kim Woong’s physical ability increases explosively.
I sighed inwardly and said.
‘If I could get this…’
Come to think of it, I was a bit impatient with the first green skill stone.
but what
As a result, thanks to that, he almost drove Lee Jae-jin a skill seat, and thanks to that, Jae-jin Lee became an unprecedented monster.
Explosive increase in physical ability due to brilliance?
I’m sorry, but Lee Jae-jin, who has acquired the passive skill stone in units of a thousand, will have more power than Kim Woong’s physical ability, which is usually amplified by brilliance.
In other words, it is not a force that can be a threat to me now.
“The point that made me mistake it for another skill because of me. I’m sorry. A guy with a reputation as a dungeon expert…”
Then Kim Woong shook his head and said.
“no. CEO Jung is not even a god, so he can’t know everything. Besides, I haven’t done anything to CEO Jung, but I can only thank you for being so kind.”
“It puts my mind at ease when you think of it that way.”
Kim Woong clenched his fists and said.
“If it’s this strength… even if we get together with Yeom Chang-soo again…”
“It won’t be that much. As a result of the experiment, the brilliance skill had the performance to overwhelm other skills in the same class. What’s more, what Guild Leader Kim got was a green skill stone. There are probably very few existing hunters who can defeat the guild leader Kim, who activated his brilliance.”
At that, Kim Woong looked at me and said.
“You mean guild leader Lee Jae-jin too?”
Kim Woong mentioned Lee Jae-jin.
I said with a meaningful expression.
“Good. Until then, I’m fine…”
“Is that so?”
Kim Woong pondered for a moment, then lowered his head and said.
“Thank you again.”
“It was nothing.”
no need to thank
After all, you’re only part of this game.
As a weapon of the government and as a dagger to destroy the government.
“Instead, I would like you to keep the facts I told you private. The time is the time.”
“All right. You can’t make the benefactor in trouble. Anyway, I’ll go and report it to the president.”
Kim Woong left the training ground like that.
Now, Kim Woong will become someone’s weapon and will be wielded nonstop.
regardless of your will.
I said with such a happy expression.
“Shall we prepare for the sequel now?”
“New skill!?”
“Yes. Jung In-soo said that there would be very few hunters who could be the opponents of Guild Leader Kim in the activated state.”
At Jo Man-cheol’s words, Kim Kang-gyun clenched his fists and said.
“Finally, I finally got a hand.”
The reason why he was helpless even though he had the highest position of president in Korea was because he lacked the ability to counter the abilities of the hunters.
There are many things to protect, but very few people have that kind of ability.
But in Dangjin, you are responsible for safety, and now you have the strongest hand you can use for an attack.
“Now, we are going to fight back with peace of mind.”
But at that time, Jo Man-cheol said with a firm expression.
“But why now?”
“What do you mean?”
“This is why it was now when Jeong In-soo taught me his skills.”
“Somehow, I recently found out… Jung In-soo is a very sly person to say the least. Perhaps it’s clear that I just said it while adjusting the timing. But, as Director Cho said back then, isn’t it to act as a mediator?”
Balancing power and taking every advantage as a bridge between the two powers.
Because this has been the route Jung In-soo has been pursuing so far.
“Maybe he decided that it would be beneficial to empower us, didn’t he? So we are responsible for the safety of our people as well.”
“Then that’s good, but the problem is that the power isn’t entirely ours, isn’t it?”
A terrorist who played a decisive role in making Kim Kang-gyun president.
The terrorist is Jo Man-cheol’s hunter nephew, and Kim Woong is the person who framed it.
If this fact were known to Kim Woong, it was clear that Kim Woong would be angry and turn the government into an enemy.
“Are you saying that Jeong In-soo might let Kim Woong know about it?”
“Of course, I don’t think it’s going to be that extreme. The moment we announced that, the reason why we had to keep an eye on Jung In-soo disappears, of course, because we have to turn the government and the entire Hanmu Guild as enemies. But I think you need to be careful. If by any chance my nephew becomes the target of the blackmailer or other hunters and gets captured…”
“That will never happen.”
If the facts of manipulating the presidential election by instigating terrorism come to light, the Kim Kang-gyun regime is over.
“Where is your nephew now?”
“Hiding in my private villa.”
“Tell them to take care of themselves as much as possible. Or maybe send them overseas for a while.”
“All right.”
“Anyway, to be prepared is to be prepared, and you have to use the power you have in your hands.”
Kim Kang-gyun said with a smile.
“It shows. That no power is useless in front of the law.”
The government, which gained confidence when Kim Woong gained the skill, was in a state of disrepair.
All 15 guilds, including the Firebird Guild of Yeomchangsu, were seized and searched in all directions and tightened in all directions.
The guild leaders and executives were arrested in large numbers, and the guilds were furious.
“This is oppression!!”
“We need to get back together!!!”
The experience of Yeom Chang-soo, who succeeded in putting pressure on the Blue House with a gun, moved them.
“Let’s go to the Blue House!!!”
“let’s go!!!”
The guilds headed to the Blue House just like Yeom Chang-soo did.
The guilds, who were more aggressive than they were back then, had to face the national hunters who stopped them.
“You are now occupying the road illegally. Disband immediately.”
And at the forefront of those national hunters was Kim Woong.
“I, I…!!”
The appearance of Kim Woong, who arrested Yeom Chang-soo and the executives, was enough to anger the members of the Firebird Guild.
“That bastard is the one who took the guild leader!!!”
At that time, the deputy guild leader, who was watching the scene with an anxious expression, came out.
“calm down!! Calm down!! Now we are going to fight…”
The deputy guild leader tried to calm them down, but the already excited Firebird guild members rushed to Kim Woong in an instant, and the other guilds who saw it joined the ranks.
Kim Woong said, lightly dodging the firebird guild member’s attack.
“Violence against public officials is subject to aggravated penalties. You must know that.”
At Kim Woong’s words, the firebird guild member sweared at the finger and said.
“f*ck!! So you thought we’d just move on?”
Protesters eventually exploded.
However, in fact, the explosion of the protesters was intentionally intentional by the government.
To show that the government has the power to suppress the Hunter protesters, while at the same time imposing harsher punishments on them all.
To do that, you have to show the difference in overwhelming power.
“Huh.”
The duration of the brilliance is 10 minutes.
All done in 10 minutes.
“under!!”
At the same time as the cry, a pure white brilliance emanated from Kim Woong’s body.
The Hunter protesters were bewildered by the sight.
“What, what?”
“What skill is that?”
Kim Woong broke into the hunters in an instant.
And the one-sided attack begins.
“Ugh!!”
A member of the Firebird Guild, the top guild in Korea, falls out with just one short punch.
“Joe, be careful! Something different!!”
For unarmed hunters, Kim Woong, who not only had no weapons, but also activated brilliance in a state of being heavily armed, was nothing but an existence outside of the standard.
Kim Woong started to destroy the Firebird Guild, which had always reigned as a strong man, in an instant.
“No, that’s ridiculous!!”
The sight of the firebird guild, the core of the protesters, being attacked in an instant was a shock to the guilds that followed.
No matter how much Yeom Chang-soo and many executives are missing, it’s such a one-sided abuse.
Kim Woong, who defeated the spearhead of the Firebird Guild, spoke in a calm voice.
“I will arrest you for assault and obstruction of the execution of official duties.”
“ha ha ha.”
I had a friendly conversation with government officials.
“You’ve been through a lot.”
“It was a lot. Someone entered and left my room without me knowing.”
At first, government officials were reluctant to talk about the intimidation, but they had already stopped the attack once and finally opened their mouths one by one to my words that detailed information was needed to further ensure security.
“You must never let this leak out.”
“of course. You can rest assured that we are asking all questions to enhance security. In any case, you can rest assured while you are here.”
I said with a confident look.
“I will listen to it often, even on purpose. If I openly show that I care like this, I won’t be able to do it any more.”
“It is reassuring to hear. haha!”
The person I am talking to now is the head of human resources, one of my close aides since the days when Kim Kang-gyun was a presidential candidate.
“By the way, a lot of Hunter protesters were arrested recently…”
“Isn’t the proper public authority exerting its power now? To be honest, it made no sense to believe in power and ignore all regulations. A powerful person can do whatever they want, even back in the days when they fought with knives. Isn’t it? This is an act against the times.”
It’s a retrograde of the times.
It’s not wrong.
Because of the Hunter, those with spears gained power.
The problem is that the retrogression of this era is an unstoppable flow.
The fight between the Hunter and the government is simply a dissonance that was created in the process of putting the hunter, who has emerged as a new power, into the original system, which was woven in his favor by the existing power.
Naturally, Hunters, a new power class, resist in order not to be incorporated into this system that is structured against them.
“okay. Anyway, I’m worried.”
I said looking at the HR chief.
“I don’t think those who have swollen liver enough to threaten high-ranking government officials will not be able to quietly back down.”
“That’s… haha. To be honest, I’m worried, but since the president is so tough… we have no choice but to trust President Jung.”
I said with a smile.
“I will take care of it as much as possible. Wouldn’t it be one way to move here anyway.”
“Ummm… it’s a long way, but it’s definitely a way.”
After looking at the liver for a bit, I started to take out the real thing in earnest.
“By the way, so far it has ended with intimidation, but I am worried that something similar to that just before the election will happen again.”
“Before the election?”
“Terrorism, terrorism.”
Kim Kang-gyun’s greatest weakness and the number one contributor to his election.
“If they use their skills to terrorize like they did back then…”
“Wait, would you like to do that?”
“That’s something you don’t know. How many gaps were there in the buildings that were destroyed in the terrorist attack? Imagine that terrorism is being hit on people. It’s also aimed at the people here.”
“Ugh.”
There were two reasons why I was so scared.
First, in order to fully embrace them with the protection of their family and personal life after terrorism with their skills.
If I recruit all of the people close to the president as my own, no matter how much the president is, he will not be able to run wild.
I can also create a real world for me by inducing policies to my advantage.
Even if it becomes a scarecrow government pushed by guilds due to this situation, there are infinite ways to use it.
And the second reason is…
“At that time, the criminal could be the same person as the blackmailer. The thought of not being able to catch them might really cause terrorism against people.”
It was to obtain evidence of the terror caused by Kim Kang-gyun.
The chief of personnel may know about terrorism as he has been with Kim Kang-gyun since the presidential campaign.
So, I deliberately mentioned terrorism continuously in order to get the reaction of the head of human resources.
“Do, same person?”
“It’s my guess, of course, but how many people have the courage to start terrorism and intimidate high-ranking government officials?”
The HR chief said with a pale expression.
“If that’s true… that’s a big deal.”
It seems that they do not know that Kim Kang-gyun is the one who caused the terror.
If I had known, I wouldn’t have reacted like that to my opinion.
A close aide who is sure enough to know about the terror would also know that I handed the skill stone.
‘The HR chief doesn’t know.’
If I had known, I would have tried to figure out what I was up to.
Of course, this may also be all acting to deceive me.
But it doesn’t matter.
If all of this was really acting, what I said to the HR chief would be delivered to the Blue House, and there would be a response in some way.
To prepare for that, I deliberately spoke vaguely.
Anyway, if even the chief of personnel really doesn’t know about terrorism…
‘There is only the chief of staff to console the HR chief.’
If that is the case, then it is said that it is a solo work by Cho Man-cheol and Kim Kang-gyun, or by Kim Kang-gyun.
‘That’s enough to find.’
All you need for terrorism is a skill stone and a hunter.
It’s a skill stone, I gave it to you, but where did the hunter get it?
He probably chose him as the person he could trust the most.
Even at that time, the skill stones were an expensive item that was auctioned at a price of over one billion won.
I wouldn’t have given these things to anyone.
“It’s just my personal opinion, so don’t worry too much. Anyway, I’ll keep you as safe as possible while you’re here. Not necessarily between a businessman and a government official, but also on an individual-to-person basis.”
“It’s person-to-person…”
“I’m close to anyone, but is there a hunter who can touch me carelessly?”
At my words, the greeting chief nodded slowly and said.
“That’s… it is.”
“Even if this situation is over, if you need me at any time, please contact me. If there is anything I can do to help, I will.”
“That’s really reassuring.”
I shook hands with the HR chief and said.
“So am I. I hope that we will continue to maintain a mutually beneficial relationship in the future. like now. haha.”
So, after greeting the head of personnel, I went outside and said to the secretary.
“Bring it to the Hunter List Office.”
“All right.”
The terrorist is a hunter, but he is related to Kim Kang-gyun or Jo Man-cheol.
look for
and secure
I said raising the corners of my lips.
“Come on, let’s all have a good run together.”
After the unilateral defeat of the protesters, the hunters who were arrested one after another shocked many guilds and hunters who were watching the protests on TV.
One of the biggest reasons they didn’t listen to the government was that the government thought they were powerless.
At best, it’s about the Hanmu Guild, but I thought about what the Hanmu Guild could do alone.
However, the Hanmu Guild drove hundreds of protesters in an instant.
Of course, it’s all thanks to Kim Woong going crazy and blowing up his core power, but the top guild, the Firebird Guild, is suffering.
But nonetheless, the guilds did not go out of their way.
To the last, this situation was only targeting guilds that were cracked down by the ledger.
Besides, for whatever reason, breaking the law was a violation, so there was no justification for a third party to come forward.
However, the government is increasing the level of pressure more and more.
“What? Are you going to investigate if I don’t register all of my skills?”
The guild leader of the upper guild said with an absurd expression.
“Aren’t these government bastards really crazy?”
“It is said that there was a recent crime using skill. That’s why we’re investigating to find the culprit…”
Even though the government destroyed 15 guilds, including the Firebird Guild, the threatening criminals continued to appear, as well as signs of terrorism using skills, so they pressured the guilds from all directions.
It was to find the culprit, but the reason was more to warn the culprit.
The government does not give in to such threats, and the unspoken pressure that the more raging, the stronger the pressure.
“What? crime?”
However, the guilds who do not know that fact can only be angry.
“These bastards pretended to be quiet and slaughtered the Firebird Guild by surprise, and now they’re even touching us?”
Even as the guilds who witnessed the recent arrest of all the Firebird guilds with their own eyes, the registration of skills for criminal investigations sounded only as an excuse to pressure them.
The guild leader said while grinding his teeth.
“Now that the Phoenix Guild is organized, it’s our turn, isn’t it? great. Let’s do it somewhere.”
The embers that started with just one ledger began to spread much faster and bigger than people imagined.
