When the promised week came, Kim Woong, who headed back to Jeong In-soo’s mansion, thought.
‘The preparation is complete.’
Kim Woong left all possibilities open and has been chasing the Black Tiger for several years without a break.
What I learned in the process was that the Black Tiger had already completely taken root in the Korean hunter world, and that Kim Woong could never deal with the Black Tiger with his own strength.
So Kim Woong needed a helper.
A person who has the strength and the will to fight against the Black Tiger.
Of course, the first thing that came to mind was In-soo Jeong, chairman of the Jung-in group.
Because he fought the most fiercely with the Black Tiger and actually suffered considerable damage from it.
The Jung-in group, who had been making huge profits by controlling information through attack analysis, is in a state of dark clouds over future contracts due to the leak of information in the past.
From a superficial point of view, for Jeong In-soo, the Black Tiger is the Cheolcheon Ji-soo who shook his core business.
But Kim Woong did not believe it.
To be more precise, should I say that I gave up judging everything that was not confirmed with my own eyes?
So I chose to break through head-on.
‘If Chairman Chung is the Black Tiger, he must be a very high-ranking person. if not… It could be the person who made the Black Tiger.’
In that case, it can be inferred that the information was intentionally leaked to raise the Black Tiger.
Of course, even if that were the case, it would not be understandable that he would do such a thing while destroying future values, but it was not important to Kim Woong, who had already given up the category of understanding as he was already involved with Kim Kang-gyun.
Only the truth or not is the core value that Kim Woong judges.
‘If Chairman Chung is a black tiger… I die.’
Although Kim Woong is one of the best hunters in Korea, the power of the Black Tiger revealed on the surface is already far beyond what the Hanmu Guild and Kim Woong can handle.
‘But it can do a huge blow to Chairman Chung and Heukho.’
A situation in which money was paid to people who did not even have a face-to-face meeting and entrusted sealed information.
If Kim Woong doesn’t show up on the promised date, they’ll spread information to the media to get the promised money.
Along with the will of Kim Woong that Jung In-soo is a black tiger.
Of course, considering the power and influence that Insoo Jung has, there is a high probability that even him will be overcome somehow, but it was clear that he would suffer enormous damage in the process.
‘And unless it’s really a black tiger… ‘
Jung In-soo is the right person to make the most of the information he has collected.
Kim Woong thought with an expressionless face.
‘I leave all possibilities open. Prejudice and common sense only mask the truth.’
Kim Woong finally arrived at Jeong In-soo’s mansion.
Seeing Kim Woong like that, the secretary bowed and said.
“You are waiting. Come in.”
Kim Woong entered the conference room after being guided by the secretary.
And Kim Woong saw the members inside and hardened as it was.
“mask?”
In the conference room, there were Jeong In-soo, Lee Jae-jin, and a man wearing a mask.
And the mask was a symbol of the black tiger used by the hunters Kim Woong was tracking to hide their identity.
Kim Woong said with a firm expression.
“Black ho… ”
Then Jeong In-soo nodded and said.
“you’re right. This is a black tiger.”
Kim Woong thought, biting his lip.
‘Come here. But when I die, even if I die, I don’t just die.’
As Woong Kim took a stance like that, Insoo Jung waved his hand as if to be relieved.
“I know what you are thinking, but don’t worry. It is true that this person is a black tiger, but at the same time, he is also my assistant. In other words.”
Jeong In-soo said with a smile.
“It’s called a double agent.”
At Jung In-soo’s words, Kim Woong said with a firm expression.
“A double agent… ”
“If Guild leader Kim conducted an investigation from the outside, we recruited people from within.”
Jeong In-soo looked at the man in the mask and said.
“And it was this person who approached me at that time. This person asked for help because he couldn’t get out of the black tiger’s magic, and I reversely suggested a double agent. To collect information from within.”
Kim Woong looked at Jung In-soo and the masked man alternately and thought.
‘Should I believe it? double spy… If Jeong In-soo was a black tiger, it wouldn’t be as easy as turning him into a double agent.’
Kim Woong, who was silent for a moment, said.
“Is there any evidence that he is a double agent?”
“Isn’t the evidence the information he collected and his existence itself? To be honest, I have no other way to prove it other than this.”
“Then reveal your identity.”
Then Jeong In-soo shook his head and said.
“It is difficult.”
“Why?”
“Just as the guild leader doubted me, I too have no choice but to doubt everything as a person who has suffered countless times by the Black Tiger. If his identity is revealed here, everything we’ve been preparing for will be in vain.”
Jeong In-soo looked at Kim Woong and said.
“So, Guild Kim also reassures me. Proof that I can trust and trust Kim Guild Leader.”
Yuun-mo, the guild leader and double agent of the upper guild.
Yunmo Yu sincerely believes that me and the Black Tiger are still fighting under the water.
That’s right, because I’ve been directing as if the black tiger is taking damage based on the information Yuun-mo has sent me.
‘It is worth preparing for.’
The guild leader of a higher guild thought it was a waste to just deal with a competent hunter, and I thought it would be useful as a cover-up when I was in doubt like now, but it was an accurate decision.
In any case, even if she reveals Yoo Un-mo’s identity, she gains trust from Kim Woong.
‘ruler. Now tell me.’
How much do you know and what do you know?
Then Kim Woong, who was silent for a moment, said.
“Secret dungeon.”
Kim Woong mentioned the secret dungeon, one of the core secrets of the Black Tiger.
‘… Is it too?’
Kim Woong, who followed the merchant and continued the investigation by changing to the hunter he had been with.
Naturally, the hunter must have gone in and out of the secret dungeon, and I thought that the secret dungeon might have been exposed to Kim Woong in the process, but it hurts even more when I hear it with my own mouth.
‘The key now is to retrieve Kim Woong’s information as quickly as possible and not leak it outside.’
If that’s the case, then this needs to be revealed to some extent.
Currently, Black Tiger has two secret dungeons.
One is the dungeon used by all of the first direct line of the immediate family, and the other is a secret dungeon for direct lineal use only.
‘If you started tracking the merchants… Maybe it’s a sidewalk.’
Because the direct line was usually mobilized when dealing with important matters, and trivial matters such as transactions were handled by collateral.
I closed my eyes for a moment and thought about it.
“gwangju. warehouse.”
Then Kim Woong’s pupils shake.
“know… Were you there?”
“I knew.”
“Then why did you leave me alone?”
“The reason is simple.”
I said raising the corners of my lips.
“Because there is not one secret dungeon.”
Then, Kim Woong said in amazement.
“Are there any more?!”
I don’t know the other one either.
With this, it became clear that the hunters Kim Woong pursued were not direct lines, but collateral lines.
Should I say I’m lucky?
“The problem is that we know that the secret dungeon exists, but we haven’t figured out where it is yet. If you touch the Gwangju dungeon here, you can do damage, but the rest of the dungeon will be hidden even more tightly. So, we kept a close eye on people who came in and out, and we prioritized them. If the materials of other secret dungeons are known, then in order to strike at once.”
I said with a cold expression.
“They are very deeply rooted and hidden. If you don’t root it out, it will only restore it if it’s damaged. I know best from those I’ve dealt with. So, I negotiated and moved on. To keep them vigilant and give them time to figure out the truth.”
This should be enough as an excuse not to reveal the secret dungeon right away.
“Well… ”
I looked at Kim Woong’s worried expression and thought.
‘Shall we push further?’
It’s not a big deal, so I’m asking if there’s any other information.
But soon I changed my mind.
‘Don’t be in a hurry.’
I am the enemy of the black tiger.
And Kim Woong is a grateful being who brought information that could damage the Black Tiger.
Recklessly pushing for such an existence may conversely raise suspicion.
I thought for a moment, then smiled and said.
“Anyway, great.”
“… Yes?”
“Are you revealing the identity of the secret dungeon? This is enough for verification.”
I said looking at Yuun-mo.
“Guild Master. Take off your mask.”
“… Are you okay?”
“it’s okay. There is no way Black Tiger could reveal a secret dungeon with his own hands.”
Yuun-mo nodded at my words and took off the mask.
Seeing this, Kim Woong said with a surprised expression.
“You Guild Leader?!”
Yun-mo said with a bitter expression.
“you’re right. That’s me.”
“Why is the guild leader in the Black Tiger… ”
“ha. Because of the black blessing… ”
Yuun-mo, who talked about her situation in that way.
“… So, with the help of the president, I am currently acting as a double agent.”
“Is that so?”
“You can trust the president. If the president was also a black tiger, I wouldn’t have disappeared already. Besides, what I’ve been through doesn’t make sense.”
“Well… ”
I told Kim Woong.
“Is this enough to earn your trust? If that’s the case, let’s exchange the information we have with each other.”
Kim Woong, who had been thinking about my words for a long time, said.
“Just one day. Just give me one more day to think about it.”
At Kim Woong’s words, I paused for a moment and spoke again with a smile on my face.
“All right. There is nothing wrong with being careful as work is work.”
“thank you.”
After saying hello, Kim Woong left the meeting room again.
Yun-mo, who was watching the scene, said.
“I am still confused, but as a very upright person, I will soon recognize the sincerity of the President.”
I smiled at Yuunmo’s words and said.
“Because the truth is the law. haha. Anyway, the business is over, and I’ll take care of the rest. Go back to the secret passage before Guild Master Yoo gets suspicious.”
“All right.”
When I went back to Yuun-mo, I smiled, but in an instant, I twisted my face and said,
“You bastard Kim Woong… ”
Even though I’ve done this, I don’t stop doubting.
Perhaps Yun-mo Yu was also rigged.
“What should I do.”
I thought for a while and said.
“Perhaps he will accept my offer. On the surface, there is no more reason to doubt it.”
“Then we can deal with it as soon as we receive the information.”
I shook my head and said.
“no. Not yet. He doesn’t trust me completely now.”

Maybe revealing himself is a kind of bait?
Waiting for the moment I put my hand on myself.
“Hmm… ”
I said looking at Jaejin Lee.
“Is it possible to follow Kim Woong unnoticed?”
Then Jaejin Lee shook his head and said.
“If you were that prudent, you would have had tracking in mind. It is difficult to completely hide a presence from a talented person like Kim Woong.”
“That’s right… ”
I won’t disclose any information I have unless he trusts me completely.
In such a situation, if I used my hand, the information he had hidden would be revealed to the world, and it was clear that the part that was not properly dealt with would be severely damaged.
“If we kill it, we are concerned about the damage, but if we leave it alone, it will keep digging in.”
I thought for a while and said.
“If you can’t refute the message, attack the messenger.”
No matter how true the message may be, if the messenger is not trusted, the message will also be questioned.
I said with a smile.
“great. So, shall we make a situation play?”
The day after Yuunmo’s existence was revealed.
“Here is the data I have gathered.”
Kim Woong handed me the data he had been collecting.
“Oh oh. Is this?”
I thought through the material step by step.
‘this… It’s a lot more detailed than I thought.’
From the list of hunters and guilds who went in and out of the secret dungeon, to the black market merchants and their organization charts.
taken from noblemt l
More parts than expected were collected in Kim Woong’s data.
‘If this is revealed as it is… It would be dangerous.’
It’s not at a level that can control the existence of the Black Tiger, but it’s enough to rip off a big celebration or degree.
What’s more, the bigger problem is that this breaks the premise of not getting caught, which is the reason why Black Tiger has been able to maintain solidarity.
The Black Tiger Hunters who have been working with peace of mind in the meantime will be anxious, and it will be a big obstacle to expanding the future.
‘Besides, it means that this guy didn’t even disclose all the information.’
He’s obviously hiding information.
That means you know more.
That makes me even more angry.
‘I will completely destroy it.’
I checked all the materials and told Kim Woong.
“There are some things we already know and some we didn’t know at all.”
“Among them, a fairly large number of guilds have already entered North Korea. That means the Black Tiger has already reached out to North Korea.”
I nodded at that and said.
“It is correct. In fact, that is the reason why the Jung-in group entered North Korea.”
“Yes?”
“Captain Jang Pan-ho of North Korea. He secretly invited our Jeongin group to North Korea. without stating exactly why. So, while doing my own research, I realized that the black tiger was already active in North Korea even before the civil war. I noticed then. Captain Jang Pan-ho was already threatened by the Black Tiger, so he needed help, and he chose the target as the Jeong-in group.”
Kim Woong said with a surprised expression as if he was unaware of this fact.
“You mean Captain Jang Pan-ho?”
How amazing it is that the leader of a country extends a helping hand to the outside world because he is afraid of a secret organization.
“Yes. That’s why the Jeongin group entered North Korea. And I found out. There are already members of the Black Tiger in the North Korean leadership, and because of them, General Jang secretly requested the Jung In group to advance into North Korea. Anyway, Captain Jang secretly continued to support our group, and the Jung-in group completely established themselves in North Korea based on that support. And we are continuing to keep the Black Tiger in check.”
Kim Woong, who heard everything I said, said with a firm expression.
“It’s more serious than I thought.”
“That’s right. Still, I think I’m lucky. The fact that the leader, Captain Jang, is keeping the Black Tiger in check means that he has not yet been completely taken over.”
Having captured the atmosphere in such a way, I looked at Kim Woong and said.
“What are you going to do now?”
“… I don’t know yet.”
“There are two ways. Either release all the information you have gathered so far to cause a major blow, or continue to collect information and reach the core of them.”
“I want to get to the point. Because I want to know the truth.”
I said with a smile inside.
‘OK.’
That said, I have no intention of releasing any information right now.
“Then would you like to draw a picture with me?”
“painting? What do you mean?”
“I am a person who has faced Black Tiger head-on. It is known that there was only one attack on me, but in fact, I was threatened with my life countless times in the battle with the Black Tiger.”
They’re all lies anyway, but adding a few more lies won’t change anything.
“The problem is that I am an ordinary person. Jaejin and the Hunters are protecting them, but ordinary people can lose their lives if they leave. So they hid in a safe hiding place. But when that happened, security prevented us from giving smooth orders, and the fight became even more sluggish.”
Kim Woong nodded his head when he told the story in such a rush.
“okay. I didn’t know that.”
Isn’t that plausible?
Actually, I am a normal person.

My life was in danger, what should I do?
“So in the end, we made a compromise with the Black Tiger. You can’t hide for the rest of your life. But after that, the black tiger continues to watch me just as I check the black tiger. The same goes for my close friends. But suddenly, Guild Leader Kim Woong appeared.”
I said with my eyes shining.
“Only the bodyguards and my key entourage in the mansion know of any contact with me. Of course, they can be trusted because they have been thoroughly verified by me. Anyway, although not directly related to me, Guild Leader Kim, who has excellent skills and has never been caught in years, is a dagger that can poke a loophole in the Black Tiger.”
I said with a confident look.
“If I move, the Black Tiger has no choice but to move. I will make the Black Tiger move as actively as possible. Once you get it up to the surface, you can do anything, right? That’s when the guild leader pokes the loophole of the Black Tiger. It could be a key executive, or it could be information. How is it?”
