Chapter 227
“You worked hard.”
A man in a loose suit held out his hand.
It seems that the investigator’s words about not being able to enter the house for a week are true.
“The hard work was done by the prosecutor. hey, what?”
The prosecutor in charge held out his hand and looked around.
In the spacious room, there was a soft bed, a sofa, and even the latest wall-mounted TV.
When I was first summoned by the prosecution, I thought of a cold and dark interrogation room, but the place I was actually guided to was a hotel room.
“I didn’t expect to be treated like this.”
“Because the superiors are very interested in this case. By the way, can you sit down for a while?”
“Ah, yes.”
“thank you.”
The prosecutor in charge answered in a tired voice and sat down on the sofa as if collapsing.
“Actually, there was some noise. There was a debate on our side as to whether Jin Tae-gyeong’s actions were self-defense or excessive defense.”
Actually, that part bothered me too.
Murder in circumstances that can be sufficiently overpowered. Killing Won Myung-hun was an act beyond the scope of self-defense.
Of course, even if I went back a week, my choice would be the same.
“Does the matter seem to have come to a good conclusion?”
“Ah, sure. If not, would I have come alone? Even Hunters from the Ministry of Justice would have brought them.”
The prosecutor in charge, who was talking in a joking tone, glanced at the morning newspaper on the table.
He smacked his lips after checking the black wyvern’s corpse on the front page.
“… … Well, even if you brought it, it wouldn’t have been much help.”
“I am a model citizen. He is someone who can live without the law.”
“There was a movie with that title, and the main character of that movie killed a prosecutor and even a judge.”
what is this Are you asking for a hit?
The prosecutor in charge smiled at my expression and stood up.
“I have to go and see. I’m so busy with work.”
“I’m glad I got a hand.”
“It wasn’t a supplement, but they made it. Once you start digging it, it’s coming out endlessly like sweet potato stems.”
I had guessed that Won Myung-hun was a man with a bad back.
However, when the full-fledged investigation began, ugly pasts came out that made me wonder what this guy was like.
His numerous transgressions included several of the same crimes as the week before.
‘Eight years ago that happened as well.’
Won Myung-hoon was a monster created by the media.
As the glittering popularity faded and the spotlight went out, Nome tried to create an issue of his own to attract public attention.
However, in the process, the most popular star hunter at the time died, and Won Myung-hoon was quietly forgotten amidst the association’s suspicions and the public’s skeptical gaze.
“I kept my mouth shut. With money, with force, and sometimes disguised as an accident at the gate, the people involved were erased.”
Of course, there were numerous lobbying activities to reduce the case in the process.
After all, what was the relationship with him? Business people had to wear wheelchairs and masks and stand in front of cameras.
with their regular ambassadors.
‘I will faithfully participate in the investigation.’
I don’t know if I’ll do the investigation properly or if I’ll be sincere about it, but one thing is certain.
The prosecutor in charge opened his mouth with a confident voice.
“At least half of them will be blown off.”
The wildfires had already spread out of control. It doesn’t end with a weed or two to extinguish this fire.
Won Myung-hun’s death was just the beginning.
“I really hope so.”
“It should be. Definitely.”
After saying a word like goodbye, he grabbed the doorknob, hesitated, then turned around.
“I couldn’t tell you this because I was out of my mind.”
“……?”
The straight back was bent deeply.
“thank you. All of this is thanks to Jin Tae-kyung.”
I’m a simple guy. I caught the raid monster because I had a grudge to pay, and I killed Won Myung-hun because he was my enemy.
However, the world calls me a hero who prevented a catastrophe and realized justice.
It’s embarrassing, but… … .
‘Well, this wouldn’t be bad either.’
I smiled and nodded. A faint smile flashed across the fatigued face of the prosecutor in charge.
For a week, I moved to the basement following an investigator who had gotten to know me quite well.
“The security is thorough, so you don’t have to worry.”
As he said, there were no cameras in the underground parking lot, let alone reporters. Instead, familiar faces awaited them.
“son!”
“brother!”
I hugged the two people who jumped in with a scream like a scream.
No, correct me. Her mother hugged her, and Hayeon pushed her away with the palm of her hand.
“son! are you okay? Are you not hurt?”
“are you okay. It’s all just a little scratch.”
My mother, who had been groping my body with an expression of having endured for ten years, inhaled.

“Bird, scratch? Where? Is your son hurt?”
“No, I made a mistake.”
“I heard you got a cut!”
“I want to eat the seasoned raw vegetables that my mother made. You’re talking nonsense.”
“Taekyung, are you lying again? Does it make sense to fight such a scary monster and not have a single wound?”
“He was big, but he was gentle.”
“Son, do you want to keep playing with words? Mom, I’m serious right now, so take off your clothes quickly.”
“… … how do i get out of here driving me crazy.”
He has reflexes that allow him to dodge bullets, but somehow he can’t avoid his mother’s touch.
‘Did he even learn the gold nuggets?’
My family register mate with a different chromosome asked me with a shocked face.
“… … What is it, why am I pushing it away?”
“Are you asking because you don’t know?”
“You ask because you don’t know?”
“If you don’t know, you must be right.”
right!
“evil! mom! My brother hit me!”
“Neither of you can stay still!”
Ha-yeon holding her forehead and crying, and her mother screaming.
In the midst of the chaos, a person who was smiling at me caught my eye.
“Don’t just laugh, wheat? Please try.”
“Isn’t that proof that the family is harmonious? I am rather envious.”
Legs straight like a model. He seemed to have just stepped out of the pictorial and grabbed my shoulder.
“You worked hard, Jin Tae-kyung.”
“Chief Choi too.”
But where have the others gone?
Team leader Choi, noticing my gaze looking around, opened his mouth.
“Everyone wanted to come, but I stopped them. Maybe it’s because I don’t have one or two eyes.”
“ah.”
“Reporters are camped out everywhere. I’ll take you to your house first, so let’s talk as we go.”
The underground parking lot is not a very good place to talk about the overdue. Even more so in front of the prosecution investigator.
We boarded a luxury sedan with heavily tinted windows. The vehicle began to make its way through the forest of buildings with a pleasant vibration.
“A lot of things happened while you were under investigation… … I’m sure most of you know.”
“I saw it all on TV. I turned off my cell phone because there were so many calls.”
terrestrial, cable and radio.
These days, no matter where I play, I hear the names of Won Myung-hun and I.
In addition to that, politics, economy, and even the hunter industry. Indeed, the whole of Korea was buzzing.
‘I’m sick of hearing it so much.’
Even in the national anthem, it is difficult to go beyond the second verse.
Team leader Choi, who glanced at my expression, smiled.
“I must tell you one most important thing.”
“It’s not about the dinner menu, is it?”
“yes. It has something to do with this case.”
“Chief, please. Please.”
“This is a problem related to the disposal of named monster by-products.”
“Please let me know. please.”
I stood up from the passenger seat and looked at Team Leader Choi with shining eyes.
My mother and Ha-yeon, who were sitting in the back seat, also pricked up their ears.
“by-product? Is it that important?”
“What kind of Korean Empire is your mother? Very important!”
“He is. Even mom knows that much. It’s because I don’t get a sense of how much she is… … “
Even though many products using monster by-products have been commercialized, they are the exclusive property of wealthy people.
Team leader Choi explained in a soft voice to her mum, who had to tighten her belt all her life.
“It depends on what kind of monster it is. And in the case of the named monster Jin Tae-kyung caught this time, the value is astronomical.”
“That, is it? I only saw it in pictures, but it looked really scary.”
“As you can see, it is a very strong monster. So, the price was set at 300 billion won.”
“Oh, I see.”
After Mom’s answer, there was a brief silence.
Complete silence, not even breathing. I blinked silently and barely opened my mouth.
”how much?”
“Three hundred billion.”
Team leader Choi responded calmly and added a word.
“Oh, what I said is the starting price of the auction.”
“Wait, is the auction starting price?”
“Yes. The by-product processing was finished three days ago, and Christie’s side has already…”
“for a moment. Who is Christy?”
Ha-yeon looked at me with an expression of disbelief.
“Who are you? Don’t you know Christie?”
This stupid guy is my brother.
Hayeon’s expression right now is just like that.
I squeezed my hair in order not to lose my authority as an older brother, but the only thing that came to my mind when I heard the name Christy was a blonde beauty.
“U.S., the second generation of American conglomerates?”
“Ho, from Hong Kong? Or European royalty or Hollywood actors… … .”
It was Team Leader Choi who saved me from sweating.
“It is a famous auction company. We’re fighting for the best in the industry with Sotheby’s.”
“ah.”
You may or may not have heard of it.
When I was young, I only exercised, and when I became an adult, I only worked like a cow, so I need to know.
Team leader Choi, who is well-informed, continued his conversation in this direction.
“Christie’s side made an offer first. They said they would set the auction fee much cheaper than Sotheby’s, so leave it to them.”
“That, so?”
“Christie’s appraisers set the by-product value. Currently, the starting price of the auction is 300 billion won. Since it is a matter that requires Jin Tae-kyung’s consent, the final decision has been put on hold.”
Oh my god, is this really happening in real life?
After blankly opening her mouth, she slapped Ha-yeon on the forehead, who was sticking her head out between the driver’s seat and the passenger’s seat.
match!
“evil!”
“It is real.”
“Why are you hitting me!”
“Because I am precious.”
It was only after I heard his scream that I realized it.
The fact that sooner or later I will become a rich man with a huge fortune.
“Ah, son. what is this sound? 300 billion?”
“Calm down, that’s not all mine.”
I don’t know how much the final bid price will be, but there is a clear settlement ratio in the hunter industry. Raids are made up of cooperation between team members.
Even if I caught it with my own strength, it’s the same.
However, the words of team leader Choi in the next moment were nothing short of a surprise.
“It’s Mr. Jin Tae-kyung’s share. Everything without exception.”
“… … yes?”
“This is something everyone else agreed on. So I would like you to say nothing about this matter.”
“Everybody agreed?”
It is possible to receive amounts as small as tens and as large as tens of billions.
It was a temptation that an ordinary person could not give up, and it was clear that it was a right.
To my surprise, Team Manager Choi responded by gently turning the steering wheel.
“Because I’m not brazen enough to get paid for just watching. I and others have the same conscience and conviction.”
“Even if you don’t have to
“It was a matter of no concern. That’s enough consideration, so think about where you’re going to spend that money.”
At Team Leader Choi’s firm words, I became a dumb dumb and kept my mouth shut.
300 billion. Christie’s Auction.
My head is cluttered with words that come to mind. Mother and Ha-yeon, who have been hardened like stone statues since earlier, will add more.
‘You’re just bewildered.’ He wiped his hardened face with his palm.
Unexpectedly huge amounts of money soon roll into my hands. What to do with this?
All kinds of imagination continued biting tail after tail. A private plane and a luxury yacht, a mountain of cash and a leopard on a leash… … .
And not long after, all that imagination dissipated like a fog.
It was only then that I was able to think clearly about what to do with this money and look at the world.
“Chief Choi.”
“yes?”
“Can I ask you a favor?”
The corner of Choi’s mouth went up slightly.
“Anything.”
