Episode 161
The reason Kim Kang-gyun’s approval rating fell is because, unlike his rant, regulations did not work at all.
However, the people cheered when Kim Kang-gyun, who gained strength, drove the guilds and punished them with the law.
Although Yeom Chang-soo claimed that it is a world where you never know when and who will become a hunter, the awakening rate was still low to convince all the people with that, and as a person, it hurts more when others do well than when they do well.
A government with such power, public support, and even the cause of law.
It would be of no use if the guilds had to raise their voices against such a government.
However, all the guilds knew through their experiences.
Under what circumstances do people turn their backs on the government?
“Hunter crime is on the rise.”
That’s when you think the government can’t protect you.
“…this is exactly the same as during the full-time government.”
Hunter-related crimes happening every minute and the incompetence of the previous government, which could not catch such crimes.
Thanks to this, Kim Kang-gyun reversed his approval rating and won the presidential election.
And remembering those memories, the guilds are moving in the same way.
“Why are you coming out like this?”
No matter how much the charges are now acknowledged, at most, they will last for one or two years.
Nevertheless, the guilds strongly resist the government’s policy as if their lives were at stake.
“They think they might become like the Firebird Guild, so they seem to put extreme numbers on it.”
Hue is the goat
Guilds.
In particular, in the case of upper guilds, they constantly compete in order not to be pushed by other guilds.
Because the Jeongin Guild has proven how far the gap of just a few months can grow in the future.
In such a situation, being sentenced to prison sentences for tax or illegality would be a complete departure from this competition.

Moreover, there was a sense of crisis that executives, such as the guild leader, who were the main target of the government, might have to give up their position as their skills were reversed.
“If we just quietly accept the regulations, everything will be cleared up, but in the end, I will choose punishment.”
“Still, there were some guilds who came out quietly.”
Of course, not all guilds made the same choice.
Although a small number of guilds were burdened with conflicts with the government, they eventually registered their skills as the government suggested.
“Good news. Please give the guilds various benefits after completing the investigation.”
Candy for a child who listens well and a whip for a child who doesn’t.
“All right.”
“How is Yeom Chang-soo?”
And of course, this work was equally applied to the Yeomchangsu and Firebird guilds where all guild members were taken away.
“I am in denial.”
He promised that if he registered his skills and cooperated with the government, he would relieve the sentence and give him many benefits.
Undoubtedly, Chang-soo Yeom was the first person to directly oppose the government and one of the strongest in Korea.
If even Yeom Chang-soo yielded to the government, it was clear that it would put considerable pressure on other guilds.
So, he actively tried to conciliate, but Yeom Chang-soo, who had already reached the top of his head, was refusing all proposals.
“Being stubborn… Anyway, the reason the guilds are making a fuss is because they haven’t tasted the strong taste yet. Thoroughly investigate the guilds that rejected it, and do not leave any doubts behind.”
The government presses hard on the idea that if it continues to push, it will back down.
However, if you step down from here, it was the end not only for the government, but also for the guilds.
Even if not, will the Kim Gang-gyun government, which has been putting pressure on them through all sorts of regulations, will move on just because the guilds have taken a step back?
The guilds didn’t think so.
If they step back, the government will take a stronger breath, and they will not be able to enjoy the freedom and wealth they have enjoyed, but also have a sense of crisis that they may become like the Firebird Guild because of what they have done.
As both sides battled the drain, the situation became even more extreme.
“You traitor bastards!!”
The hooded hunter said as he stepped on the hunters who were lying down and moaning.
“Wave your tail to the government, so can you get some Congolese? uh?”
The fallen hunters are the hunters belonging to the guild who obeyed the government’s proposal.
“Mister, f*ck you. did i fix it Did our guild leader decide?”
“So, who wants to join a guild like that? These traitors. Are you surrendering to live alone? Don’t let us stand out in front of you. The moment you notice it, you will be behind.”
The anger and antipathy of the guilds towards the government led to the guilds who accepted the government’s proposal.
Conflicts all over the place.
And the impact spread all the way to Earth.
Starting with Dangjin, the guilds that were zoning out deliberately attacked the guilds’ areas that were branded as traitors.
The guilds that accepted the government’s proposal, which had been troubled by the attack in the dungeon, accepted this as a declaration of war against themselves and counterattacked, and national hunters were mobilized to support such guilds. It escalated into a fight.
“Uh-huh.”
Conflict between guilds and guilds.
In this process, the state hunter continuously intervenes and only unilaterally favors the guilds that have accepted the government’s proposal, the guilds become more and more angry, and now they are ready for armed conflict.
Disputes between the government and a few guilds on the side of the government versus the rest of the guilds.
A picture similar to that of the Warring States period was unfolding, with many hunters involved and arrested in this battle that takes place regardless of time and place.
And in the process, citizens felt insecure, and Korea was truly chaos.
“After all, the government is the government.”
I just gave him an attacking hand called the Hanmu Guild and Kim Woong.
However, due to this small difference, the former Kim Kang-gyun and the present Kim Kang-gyun became completely different people.
Although Kim Kang-gyun in his previous life was regulated, he couldn’t properly control it because of his poor state hunter history, while the current Kim Kang-gyun was pushing Kim Woong and the Hanmu guild to the brink of destruction.
Obviously, no matter how strong Kim Woong was, the guilds were overwhelming, but the problem was the cause.
“If we leave it like this, maybe the government will win?”
Although the guilds are strongly opposed to Kim Kang-gyun’s policy, they are unable to directly counterattack the government because there is no justification.
The level of tormenting the guilds that cooperated with the government to just die instead.
If the guilds are attached to the government one by one like now, the guilds will eventually lose their power.
But I know.
Hunters will become more and more overwhelmingly strong in the future, and even if the government wins this battle, the final winner will be the Hunter.
For example, the reason that the current situation has become like this is because of the appearance of a temporary but absolute strong man named Kim Woong.
In addition, Jae-jin Lee, who has never been identified as a single person, pushing the government alone.
The only thing we can learn from these things is that it is not the majority of people who determine the trend, but the very few strong people with power.
And in the future, hunters who are strong enough to not even be able to give out their business cards will appear in a pile, and the trend will become more and more clear.
Now, thanks to the weapon I gave you, I can fly, but will the same strategy work then?
Absolutely not.
“Originally, this was a time when the government and the guilds had a lot of strife.”
At a time when the balance of power was about to overtake, I gave the government a significant buff here, so the government had the upper hand in this battle.
“Well, let’s enjoy it for a while.”
Rejoice that you have the upper hand and push.
So that the guilds support more evil.
“Anyway, this is a pain in the butt.”
I had people investigate not only Kim Kang-gyun and Jo Man-cheol’s acquaintances and relatives, but also all of Kim Kang-gyun’s close associates.
However, satisfactory results are not obtained.
“It’s not that there are no Hunters…”
When considering the total population of Korea, the proportion of hunters is less than 0.1 percent.
So, even if I search for all the acquaintances and relatives of Kim Kang-gyun, Jo Man-cheol, and other aides, there are only four hunters.
But all four of them are different from what I expected.
Relatives are relatives, but there are hunters who do not even come and go because of bad relations, and there are people who register as a hunter after the terrorist attack.
Of course, I wondered if he had registered late on purpose, but his track record as a hunter after that was too ordinary.
“This is not it.”
The terrorist I was expecting was just this.
A person who is a hunter but is not active as a hunter and is interested in politics or other things.
He must be such a person, but he will faithfully carry out Kim Kang-gyun’s instructions and keep his skills sealed after that.
“I would never have given a skill to someone who wanted it. If you are a hunter, your hands will be itching to use the skills you already have. So someone who wants something other than a skill.”
But the problem is that such a person is not on this list.
“for a moment.”
These guys…
“You didn’t register as a hunter in the first place, did you?”
A hunter who has awakened but has not registered.
Hunters like this are not allowed to enter the dungeon in the first place, so it exactly matches my prediction that they will not be active as hunters.
“It may be a hunter, but it may not be a hunter.”
then···.
I checked the list of acquaintances and relatives again.
“People who want Kim Kang-gyun to be elected president. The most powerful thing is political position.”
In general, high-ranking politicians don’t give a damn about the people they associate with them.
Especially when it comes to politics.
It is also true that if the person who looked after him has an accident, it is his own responsibility for raising him, and he may be caught up in controversy over preferential treatment in the future.
Even more so, if it’s the president’s closest aides, who should be careful about falling leaves.
Unsurprisingly, since the entire family is a politician, there are people who have been involved in politics before, but few people have been involved in politics right after the election.
As I was checking out the list like that, I raised the corners of my lips and said.
“Look at this.”
Jo Young-chan, the son of Jo Man-cheol’s younger brother.
At the age of 32, he served as a member of the ruling party’s youth committee.
However, the appointment time was exactly right after Kim Kang-gyun’s election as president.
I asked Secretary Kim to instruct the investigation, but I paused and said,
“No. From now on, you don’t have to approach it with caution.”
It’s a basic investigation. There are a lot of data that I’ve collected and a lot of excuses, so I collected it through a secretary and an investment company, but I have to be careful from now on.
Of course, as the work of the employees is their work, security regulations have been clearly established, but the counterparty is the Korean government.
that information may be leaked.
I picked up my cell phone and called someone.
-Yes! President.
“Mr. Yoon Sang-deok.”
It was Yoon Sang-deok.
“I think we need to conduct a secret investigation by someone.”
– Investigation? That’s a piece of cake! Heungshinso is not alone under the Ssangmun faction. Just tell me!
“But your opponent is higher than you think. Cho Man-cheol, the nephew of the Chief of Staff at the Blue House, and currently a member of the ruling party’s Youth Committee.”
Then, Yoon Sang-deok stops.
– Your wife, the nephew of the Chief of Staff of the Blue House?
“Yes.”
Then, after being silent for a while, Yoon Sang-deok said.
-I’ll move right away! Unless Jiji is the president, he’s under the president!
I said with a smile.
“Good.”
By the way, it must have sounded like a mouthful, but even Yoon Sang-deok sees me below the president.
And that would be quite natural.
Someday it will be completely overtaken.
To rule over those who rule.
“Move right away.”
Yoon Sang-deok’s report arrived after a few hours.
-You have recently left for an overseas cultural exchange event.
“Ohh?”
Did you go abroad for cultural exchange?
Of course, there is nothing strange about cultural exchange itself.
It is one of the representative courses where politicians celebrate the state budget.
However, the process up to that point is very suspicious.
“How long ago did you say that you were absent from the committee and then suddenly appeared and left for cultural exchange?”
award winning
very award-winning
It is said that a person with a will for politics participates in cultural exchanges that are no different than travel while not attending the committee…
Even the nephew of the president’s closest aides at such a sensitive time?
Of course, he may have chosen a foreign country instead of Dangjin as his escape because he was worried about the blackmailer.
But it’s well worth checking out.
Because this guy is the most suspicious of the circumstances so far.
You only need to check one thing.
Whether he’s a hunter or not.
“If he’s a Hunter…”
That guy is a terrorist.
How do you check anyway.
If he deliberately took him abroad, he wouldn’t come back in a short period of time.
“It’s too late to wait until you come back.”
Then, Yoon Sang-deok, who was quietly listening to me, said:
– Shall we just send the kids away?
“Well? Send?”
– Some of our kids can speak French well. haha.
“Are you fluent in French?”
-Yes, I’m from a French colony, so I’m pretty fluent. I’ve already been fully recruited and naturalization work has been completed, so there will be no problem in leaving the country.
Actually, I don’t mind sending Korean hunters here.
After all, I attended an official event called cultural exchange.
However, as soon as a Korean hunter is put in, the government immediately senses something strange and will take action.
But what if Jo Man-cheol’s nephew’s nephew is in trouble because of the French-speaking hunter?
I said raising the corners of my lips.
“That’s fun.”
It can mislead the government.
It was said that he was involved in an unexpected accident in the local area.
Of course, I will do my best to save it.
However, the response to a Korean hunter and a foreign hunter who speaks French will be completely different.
Besides, if he wasn’t a real terrorist, it’s much easier to get away with.
“good. Send them to French-speaking hunters. I’ll get you the event schedule. But can you trust them?”
If they have a different mind, it’s a problem.
– You don’t have to worry. I’m only going to send them to those who are completely tainted with our organization. Now, Korean kids don’t even need to mobilize, and foreign kids know how to find the next target.
Casinos are very useful in many ways.
The money earned on the black market but could not be used arbitrarily because it was black money was laundered into casino sales through currency exchange and illegal loans, and became a non-drying line of money, as well as work using foreign hunters.
If there is a dungeon on the purchased land, I will have to build more casinos to increase the size.
Anyway, the urgent thing right now is Jo Man-cheol’s nephew.
“good. Send it.”
Yoon Sang-deok said they are reliable.
But I don’t know what a human job is.
“Warn them just in case you don’t know. Someone from above will follow. So, be careful what you do.”
We need to send extra people to watch them do their job well.
-All right. I didn’t mean to give it all away, so you can rest assured. Aside from them, I was thinking of sending two more teams to watch over them.
A team of hunters from the French colonies doing field work, two separate teams to watch them, and the hunters I sent to watch them all.
If that’s the case, it’s reassuring.
“Then move on, as soon as possible. There is only one goal. To determine whether he is a hunter or not.”
