Episode 97
After taking care of it.
There was already a need to talk about it.
Although not Toya, William was a party and witness to this incident.
It was clear that if he spoke differently from William during the later investigation, he would be suspected.
“Yes, there will definitely be a need for that.”
As Sihyeon answered like that, she was wondering how to speak to William.
William opened his mouth with a somewhat awkward smile.
“I’m sorry, but can’t you leave the cleanup of this matter to Lord Kaiel?”
“yes?”
“Please do me a favor.”
Because it was an unexpected remark, Sihyeon looked puzzled.
“What do you mean?”
“There are some circumstances to that.”
“What’s the matter?”
“I don’t want the church to know that I go around killing bad guys. Of course, it will become known someday, but it’s too early now. If it gets known now, the bad guys won’t be able to be punished and the course of justice will end. What will the church do? “I will stop it at all costs.”
William explained the situation with a slightly bitter expression.
He continued.
“Actually, I was planning to kill him in an unattended place, but somehow it ended up like this. Well, what I ultimately want to ask you is that you keep my presence here a secret.”
“I see. I understand the situation roughly. So, are you asking me to pretend it never happened?”
“That is correct.”
William nodded his head loudly.
“But… you must have come by boat to come to this island anyway, so there must be more than one person who has seen your actions, right?”
Sihyeon thought for a moment and said.
This is because I thought there was no way it would be possible to pretend it never happened in such a situation.
“Ah, don’t worry about that. I used teleportation magic.”
“Teleportation magic?”
Before Sihyeon could open her mouth, Eunhye next to her asked with wide eyes.
She was also a wizard, so when the name of an amazing magic that was difficult to come across came up, she reacted without even realizing it.
Teleportation magic was a high-class magic, but it was known as a magic that even high-ranking wizards could not easily use.
This was because setting the exact coordinates was quite difficult, and there was a risk of losing one’s life if one made a mistake and moved to a strange place.
But it was natural that I would be interested in the fact that I came here using such magic.
“That’s right. It was only possible thanks to the help of the Blood Sage here.”
After hearing those words, everyone’s eyes turned to Toya.
Toya shrugged his shoulders as if it was no big deal.
However, it seemed like his shoulders were straighter and it was nice to get interested looks.
“So, when you leave here later, you’re going to use teleportation magic again?”
Sihyeon asked.
“I see. So I don’t think it’s an extremely unreasonable request. I’d like to ask you a favor too.”
William also made a request to Eunhye and Minjun.
Eunhye and Minjun looked at Sihyeon.
Here, the intention to follow the will of the vision was conveyed through the eyes.
“hmm.”
Sihyeon had a thoughtful face.
If I came here that way, it seemed possible to pretend it never existed.
The traces on the inside of the gate were gone forever the moment it was closed, and the traces on the outside were nothing more than footprints, which could be erased.
If you think about it, it was actually a good thing.
I expected that it would be quite difficult to talk to these two people, Toya and William.
But now there is no need for that.
After organizing her thoughts, Sihyeon looked at William.
“Okay, I’ll do it.”
“Thank you, Lord Kaiel. May the Lord’s blessings always be with Lord Kaiel.”
William smiled and said thank you.
One problem was solved.
Now there was only one problem left.
The task was to create someone who killed the human butcher and the noodle technician.
I had something in mind.
Geomje.
There is only Geomje.
Although he had noticed it by looking at the reactions of the human butcher and the cotton ball technician, it seemed that the Geomje’s whereabouts were still unknown.
A man whose identity is unknown and who has the ability to kill a human butcher.
There couldn’t be anyone better to use.
Still, Sihyeon asked William to confirm one more time.
“Have you ever heard a rumor that the Sword Emperor appeared?”
“Huh? What are you saying so suddenly?”
“I’m just curious.”
“Hmm… I’ve heard that before. Even if I did, it seems like it all turned out to be a rumor. That’s why I wasn’t that surprised when I found out that I was Lord Kaiel. Why are you worried? I’ll keep it a secret, so don’t worry. I’ll keep it a secret. “He is a man with a heavy mouth.”
“Please do me a favor.”

“Haha, believe me.”
William pounded his chest.
Then he continued.
“I will erase all traces of my presence here on my own, so don’t worry….”
“Oh, wait a minute.”
Sihyeon interrupted William, as if something had occurred to him.
Is there really a need to erase William’s traces?
In any case, in order to sell the name of the man called Geomje, one more person’s traces are needed.
In that case, all we have to do is turn William’s traces into Geomje’s traces.
“I will take care of that.”
◈ ◈ ◈
Ryu Geon-woo, president of the Korea Hunter Association.
He was the most famous S-class hunter in Korea.
It was only natural that he was the S-class hunter in the most responsible position and with the most active official activities.
Even though he was over 60 years old, he was actively working as president of the association.
Even though he could step down from the front line and lead a more leisurely life, he does not let go of his position as president of the association and continues to work energetically.
It wasn’t because of a desire for power.
This is because the weight of being one of only five S-class hunters in Korea was heavy.
In today’s era, the number of S-class hunters is one of the important measures of national power.
Ryu Geon-woo also knew this better than anyone else.
When an S-class gate bursts, if there is no S-class hunter who can solve it, there is no choice but to ask for help from a powerful country.
Because if we don’t, the country will collapse.
However, it was not like a powerful country providing services for free.
They asked for some kind of interest or asked for a huge amount of money.
Just as in the era of imperialism, great powers took away the interests of weak and small countries.
Of course, there was no colonizing and taking over the country as in the past, but it was obvious that if interests and money were continued to be taken away like that, the wealth of the country would decrease and the burden on the people would increase.
Ryu Geon-woo still remembered that day.
The day the first S-class gate occurred in Korea.
The Korean government, which was not confident in its ability to attack the S-class gate, asked for help from its long-time ally, the United States.
However, the United States demanded a huge amount of money in return for the S-class hunters’ participation in the war.
It was more than ten times the amount of defense contributions for U.S. troops stationed in Korea each year.
It was an amount close to 10 trillion won in Korean won.
As the U.S. government spends a lot of money to maintain S-class hunters, the U.S. government never tried to move them at reasonable prices.
Of course, the amount requested differed depending on the circumstances of the country.
Poor countries were asked for benefits other than money or for less money.
Korea asked that amount because they thought they could afford that amount of money.
In that case, Korea could have thought about whether it would be possible to increase the budget and recruit S-class hunters, even if it meant risking a loss.
Of course, there were people who made such claims.
However, it could not compete with powerful countries in terms of economic power as well as information power.
Only with information power was it possible to find out where new S-class awakeners appeared and attempt to recruit them, and with economic power was it necessary to win the competition for a bundle of money.
However, in both cases, Korea fell short of being a powerful country.
Also, S-class awakened people who are sold for money prefer strong countries and not weaker countries.
The Korean government also asked China about conditions through unofficial diplomatic channels.
China demanded three years of fishing rights in the West Sea and the removal of THAAD deployed in Korea.
Both were difficult demands.
Handing over fishing rights would make it difficult for fishermen in the West Sea who make their living from fishing, and the removal of THAAD, which had already been deployed at a large cost, was not an easy decision to make as it was a complex diplomatic issue and caused significant economic losses.
It was a truly difficult situation for the Korean government.
The S-class gate had to be conquered.
But the bleeding was too much for that to happen.
But in the end, the Korean government had no choice but to pay a large sum to the United States and ask for help.
At this time, there were only three S-class hunters in Korea, including Ryu Geon-woo, so they were unable to solve the problem of the S-class gate on their own.
Ryu Geon-woo never forgot what happened at that time.
And exactly three years later, Ryu Geon-woo became one of the heroes.
He became one of the five S-class hunters who took the lead in resolving the S-class gate that once again occurred in Korea.
There was a big reason why Ryu Geon-woo’s current position as the head of the Hunter Association was solid and people respected him.
There were not many countries that succeeded in resolving the S-class gate on their own.
Korea proudly became one of those countries.
“Brother Geon-woo.”
The man sitting in front of Ryu Geon-woo appeared to be in his late 40s.
He had a slim yet sharp appearance.
That man was Lee Tae-hwi, one of Korea’s S-class hunters.
“You still haven’t figured out who did what happened then?”
What Taehwi Lee mentioned at that time was an incident that occurred in Yangju.
Traces of Hellfire were discovered in Yangju.
And while investigating a nearby mansion, Seo Yong-gil, the head of the inspection department, and other employees all lost consciousness and fainted.
Fortunately, no one died, but it was a humiliating incident for the Inspection Bureau.
It was even more so because I couldn’t even find out who the other person was.
“That’s right.”
Ryu Geon-woo said in a bitter voice.
It was frustrating because a person believed to be an S-class awakened from another country came into the front yard and used hellfire, but no trace of him was found.
“Brother, I think it’s probably China or Japan….”
At that time, an urgent knock was heard on the door of the association president’s office.
I could sense that it was urgent news.
“Come in.”
As soon as Ryu Geon-woo spoke, the door opened urgently.
“We’re in big trouble, Chairman!”
The employee with a dark expression spoke in a very excited voice.
“What’s going on?”
Ryu Geon-woo asked calmly.
It was not good for the head of an organization to be seen making a fuss about any urgent matter.
You must show yourself as firm as a rock at all times so that your subordinates can trust and follow you.
“It is said that two Hunter Association employees and seven hunters died on Daeijakdo!”
“….”
There was a moment of heavy silence.
Ryu Geon-woo’s face hardened.
Taehwi Lee also had a serious expression.
“Who did this?”
Ryu Geon-woo opened his mouth and asked, as if breaking the burdensome silence.
“The eyewitness says it was the work of a so-called human butcher.”
“Human butcher?!”
Lee Taehwi opened his eyes wide and asked a question.
Ryu Geon-woo’s expression was shaken enough to be seen.
There was no way that S-class awakened people with memories of the original owner would not have known the human butcher’s notoriety.
To that extent, he was a vicious murderer who was notorious throughout the entire continent.
“Are you a human butcher, Kasir?”
Taehwi Lee asked raising his voice as if to confirm.
“Yes, I’m sure he was called by that name….”
“Oh my god, damn it.”
Taehwi Lee quickly stood up from his seat.
“Brother, this is not normal. Something bigger might happen. I have to go right away.”
“excuse me….”
“why?”
“They say that Kasir has already died.”
“what?!”
Lee Tae-hwi made a completely absurd face.
It was something I couldn’t understand.
“Does that make sense? Kasir dies? Who kills him?”
Kasir was known to be quite strong among the S-class.
Although he was the worst murderer, his skills were real.
There was no way that anyone who could kill him would have been able to kill him unless he was S-class, and at that point, he was quite strong.
“It was said that a person named Geomje killed him….”
“Geomje?!”
“The Sword Emperor?”
Lee Tae-hwi’s eyes widened in surprise.
Ryu Geon-woo also seemed quite surprised.
he asked as if confirming.
“…What is the name of that Geomje?”
“Is that… Della…? I’m sorry, just a moment.”
The employee took out the notepad and read it to see if he could remember.
“Ah, Delagardi. And it is said that he was also called Lord Caiel. Ah… one more thing. The sword he has is said to be called Acurelust.”
Ryu Geon-woo, who was struggling to maintain his composure, suddenly stood up without realizing it.
