188 – Why are you here?
Team leader Park Jin-tae, who was living on an ice sheet to live day by day in the danger of purge not long ago.
Lately, however, he had been feeling the fear that had been weighing down his heart disappearing.
The case of Najisun Hunter and former Hunter Guild lieutenant, which is continuously being reported through the media.
Although the content itself was not really a big deal when you open the lid, public opinion, which had already gained momentum through the media, was burning like firewood.
Since the new military government came to power, corruption within the military that had been hidden for a while had been revealed one after another, and public interest in this situation was very high.
At this time, the corruption case involving the S-class Hunter and the conglomerate Dreamers was enough to draw people’s attention.
‘In the first place, what people want is not something like the truth. You want the most delicious chews possible. In that respect, this incident is like junk food that has no nutritional value, but suits their taste very well.’
As he worked on this floor and knew the work of that field very well, he could easily predict how things would go in the future.
‘Now, if the name of the adjutant is released in a little while, public opinion will also be in a frenzy. That person’s identity will be robbed while he chews on people, and I will definitely be stamped as a patriot for catching such a bad guy. Then there will be no need to worry about purges or anything…’
The lieutenant in question would suffer considerably worse than his misdeeds, but that mattered nothing to him.
In the first place, team leader Park Jin-tae was ready to sell even the country for his own gain, and he has been doing so ever since.
Now, all of a sudden, there was no need to feel remorse about the fact that one or two people were dying because of him, or to worry unnecessarily.
With such thoughts in mind, team leader Park Jin-tae is slowly preparing to explode the next bomb.
at that time..
“Excuse me, boss.”
“yes? What happened?”
A subordinate suddenly opens the door and walks in.
Regarding this, he asked a question, feeling a little doubt.
Instead of answering his question, he carefully held out a piece of paper.
“What is this?”
“It is a document that came down from the upper echelons. I received an order to deliver it to the team leader and brought it.”
“At the upper level? what the hell…”
Team leader Park Jin-tae, who has done a lot of work so far, has developed a habit of being alert when he hears something from above.
However, a moment later, as soon as he checked the contents of the document in front of him, a smile automatically began to form on his lips.
“her! hahahaha! Ahahahahaha! yes, you mean that? Really, I was looking forward to it to some extent, but I didn’t know that the bite would come this soon?”
Team leader Park Jin-tae bursts into laughter with joy
Regarding this, the subordinate who was watching it from the side asked with a questioning expression on his face.
“Is there such a thing as good content? What the hell is going on?”
“Ahahahaha, yes, that’s very good, isn’t there an investigation into that lieutenant that I’m working on right now? The high-ranking ones have something to say about it! After all, it was worthwhile to work with the media!”
Regarding the ongoing investigation, there were a total of two cases in which the person conducting the investigation was called.
One is when a high-ranking person with ties to the case calls to stop it.
And the other is, when the event is important or attracts attention from the outside, actively praising it and trying to put a spoon on it in a way that receives public opinion as a bonus.
And, in relation to this work, Team Manager Park Jin-tae was convinced that this belonged to the latter category.
First of all, due to the nature of the military, there was no way I could just leave the case that the media was chewing on like this.
Crucially, this was something that had been going on since the Lee family was in power.
In other words, it meant that there was a very high possibility of being accepted in the sense of squeezing out the pus from the former military.
‘From that point of view, I’m sure this call is to praise me. With this, I won’t have to worry about my standing anymore. Maybe, based on this, I can get out of the situation I was proud of and become an aide to the high-ranking people..’
With such high expectations, team leader Park Jin-tae immediately moved to the calling place.
An office located in the innermost, deepest part of the Ministry of Defense.
An expectant smile automatically began to form on his lips as he walked down the road to that place feeling as if he was about to fly.

‘Calling me from the upper floors… I think the scale of this has grown a bit…’
Choi Yu-jin, who feels embarrassed at the sudden call from a high-ranking person, moves for the time being.
As it was the first time she had been called like this, tension and anxiety had settled in her mind, but it was true that she also had expectations.
‘I have something to say about Na Ji-seon and Lee Jin-hyeon’s work. Right now, even the head of the audit department is actively investigating it… Maybe they’re trying to give me a reward for uncovering this fact?’
Of course, as what she wanted most was to free her friend Seo Ji-yoon, she moved her steps cautiously, thinking that she should make good use of this opportunity.

Just after finally arriving near the office, a familiar figure began to appear in Choi Yu-jin’s eyes.
“Ah.. Chief.”
“Oh, aren’t you Choi Yujin Hunter? Could it be that Hunter is also being called?”
“That’s right. Apparently, the team leader came for the same reason.”
“Yes, me too. No matter how you look at it, it looks like something good is going to happen to us.”
“Perhaps it is. Come on, let’s go in. You can’t keep the high-ranking people waiting for a long time.”
“good. People who are already busy are taking time for us, so you better hurry.”
The two of them took notes and went inside with their expectations swollen.
right after that…
Their eyes began to see a person sitting on a chair in the office.
‘Is it that person… It’s the first time I’ve actually seen it in person. Even at a young age, I feel that he has extraordinary spirit as he has taken power in this country.’
‘I’ve been on a few missions before when I was an adjutant, jeop.. It would have been nice if we had been a little closer then…’
While being escorted by the Hunters standing on the left and right,
A woman sitting and looking at them with a serious expression.
They both knew very well who she was.
Lieutenant General Song Dana.
One of the key figures in the current Korean military, and a person who can be said to hold practical military power.
Seeing her as one of the most powerful people in the country despite being only in her early 30s, the two automatically began to feel overwhelmed by her spirit.
And, watching those two people, Lieutenant General Song Dana opened her mouth in a calm voice.
“Welcome, thank you so much for taking the time out of your busy schedule.”
“Ah… no. The lieutenant commander is calling, and of course, is it not the duty of a subordinate to hurry up?”
“On the contrary, I am grateful for calling you this way.’
As the opponent is the opponent, the two of them come out as low as possible.
However, before they continued their small greetings, Adjutant Song Dana spoke in a slightly shrill voice.
“All right. Then, I would like to talk about this case in earnest, but before that… please wait for a while as there are people who need to come first.”
“yes?..”
“Those who need to come.. are you saying?”
They are curious about the fact that there are more people who will come as the main characters of this case are the two of them.
at that time..
Before the doubts that floated above the two of them’s heads had subsided, the closed door opened and a group of people began to enter.
“… ! Wh…what…”
“! What.. what.. yes.. how are you here..”
The moment they saw them, the two people began to feel embarrassed.
And at the same time, watching them
Lieutenant General Song Dana stood up from his seat and greeted the person standing in front of them with a deep polite voice.
“Welcome, Adjutant Lee Jin-hyun.”
