“Umm… this is really…”
A man sitting in the office and letting out a heavy sigh
Park Jin-tae, head of the Ministry of National Defense’s audit team
He, like any other member of the Department of Defense, has been in a state of instability lately.
Having risen to the position of audit team leader half a year ago, he never doubted that a solid road would unfold in his future.
As the name suggests, the audit team is a department in charge of catching various corruptions within the Ministry of National Defense.
However, on the other hand, this also meant that he could turn a blind eye to as many corruptions, so he was literally spending time as if he had met his own world from the moment he rose to this position, which could be said to be the eldest in the Ministry of Defense.
Park Jin-tae, who had appropriate ties to both the Lee family and emerging forces.
Thanks to that, he was able to make a huge profit in the meantime by moderately turning a blind eye to the corruption of both sides.
From small money envelopes to information that can be so-called money.
Thanks to this, he was able to sit on a cushion of money he had never enjoyed before through the money he received as bribes and various real estate speculations, and he was living an affluent life that he felt was not lacking in anything.
But… his good days were brought to an end by something completely unexpected.
A sudden uprising and an unknown terrorist incident.
In the aftermath of that, all of the lawmakers who had been his supporters and customers left without a single one left.
In addition, those who took the real power immediately after that were only those who, unlike the people in the past, were trembling when it came to this kind of work, especially those who knew about his activities but were unable to use their hands due to the overall flow, immediately Even so, he was slowly angling to punish him.
‘I never thought that the day would come when every day becomes a cushion of thorns like this.
Park Jin-tae, who was a faithful dog of the high-ranking people in the past, but now has become the target of being taken literally by the high-ranking people.
This concern was a common fact not only for him, but also for all those who took advantage of various interests while serving as dogs for high-ranking people in the Ministry of Defense.
‘In order to survive in this situation, I have to show decent performance somehow.
It is said that he was in a position taken by high-ranking people, but nevertheless, he was devising ways to defend this position by demonstrating his own way of life.
Fortunately, it was true that his position had narrowed considerably due to this situation, but it was not a completely hopeless situation.
‘The people in the past don’t like me very much, but… those who have newly become the actual heads of the military don’t know much about me yet. If I can stick to them and appeal to them as competent, I might be able to overcome this immediate crisis.’
The young heads of the new military department who took power this time.
Even a little bit of it is good, and if I can buy their favor, I don’t know if I can get past this crisis.
‘Fortunately, those who are newly in power are not accustomed to practical work yet, so if they take good care of their eyes, they will be able to overcome a big crisis.’
And maybe, after a little more time has passed, I might be able to entice them well and take care of the beans like before.
Such an appropriate job…
Team leader Park Jin-tae was looking for so-called prey.
Then one day, a petition related to corruption from a person came up.
Although he has received countless petitions as a member of the audit team, there are not many petitions that suit his taste.
However, the petition that came up this time contained content that would be quite appetizing from his point of view, who was looking for a noticeable achievement.
“Choi Yujin Hunter’s petition…”
It was sent by a person well-known as an S-class hunter.
The gist of what it contained was as follows:
Na-sun Na, an S-class hunter belonging to the Hunter Guild, is leaking secrets within the military to private companies.
Looking at the contents, team leader Park Jin-tae automatically began to twinkle his eyes.
‘Yeah… I wanted something like this. It’s a corruption case involving an S-class Hunter. At this level, if I do it well, it will be enough to appeal my ability to the upper ranks. I might be able to dispel the eyes I’ve been receiving so far and put my position on the safe track again.’
Nothing else, as it is related to an S-class hunter, the wavelength will not be normal.
So, with high expectations, he decided to start the investigation in earnest, and before that, he decided to try to contact the Choi Eugene Hunter.

A request from the head of the audit team to meet him directly
Regarding this, Yujin Choi decided to meet him willingly, and there he began pouring out as much information as he knew.
“So… do you mean that the relationship between the S-class hunter Naji-seon, who is leaking information, and the black hunter’s lieutenant were like that?”
“Because it is. From the beginning, that bitch liked the adjutant deep down, but… Maybe after the adjutant threw off his military status, they started seeing each other formally, because just yesterday, he blushed and contacted me.”
“In other words, he is stealing military secrets at the request of his boyfriend.. You can see it that way.”
“Yes, that is correct. No matter how hard it is, she won’t do it for money, so there’s no other way to explain it.”
“Okay, thank you for cooperating in this way. We will thoroughly investigate the incident and try to resolve it.”
“please. For the sake of society’s justice, please make sure to punish those who commit dishonest things.”
“There may or may not be. Please trust me that I will do my best, and I would like to ask you to send me any relevant materials that may be helpful for my appreciation.”
“Yes, I will. Thank you very much, chief.”
The team leader of the audit team who listens to his opinions and shows his enthusiasm.
Seeing him like this, Choi Yu-jin began to feel a lot of excitement with a smile on her lips.
‘He’s the one in charge of auditing the Ministry of National Defense. Are you actively showing your will to solve the injustice? Well… he’s in a position like this because he knows what the definition of society is.’
Choi Yu-jin has no doubts about the fact that things will go well in the future.
All that was left, she thought, was to wait with some leeway while passing on more evidence as carefully as possible.
‘If the investigation is in earnest and Na-sun Na is investigated, the trust in her will naturally fall. If that happens, you can use that as an excuse to put a little more weight on freeing Seo Ji-yoon. I’ll be the only decent friend left for that poor guy..’
In that way, burning with enthusiasm to save her suffering friend, Choi Yu-jin decided to do the best she could.
Without imagining what the consequences of this she ignited…

Park Jin-tae succeeded in securing appropriate witnesses and even the evidence she sent.
Through the data he received, team leader Park Jin-tae was able to find out that the ‘man’ involved in this incident was related to a fairly large Black Hunter company.
Literally, an incident that can draw a moderately loud picture of a collusion between a corrupt soldier and a large corporation.
Delighted by the fact, he first set out to mobilize methods to publicize the matter to the fullest.
“Uh, Reporter Choi? I’m Park Jin-tae, the team leader, and I’ve got some good news, so take it. You may not know it at a time like these days, but you can do something big.”
