Episode 69
“What about Lia?”
“I’m still in the healing room.”
After hearing the secretary’s report, Gugeon briefly fell silent.
It’s a healing room, and Maria tears herself to pieces there.
The healing power is so strong that it is barely noticeable.
Her morality, bordering on myeloidism, always pushes her to the edge.
People die during battle, a fatally injured hunter cannot be rescued, or a mistake occurs in the guild’s operation.
Every time something like that happened, Maria hurt herself.
A secret known only to a few within the guild.
Gugeon felt uneasy every time Maria entered the ‘healing room.’
Aren’t the guild’s mistakes also the leader’s own mistakes?
As she stayed in the healing room for a long time, Gugeon, who was worse off, would take her out.
however.
This time, even Goo Geon could not set foot in the healing room.
This is because there was a warning from Mary that no one should come in until they come out themselves.
‘He was a child who never said that.’
Maria is in the healing room, but there is only one person in the Glory Guild who dares to step inside.
She is currently clearly refusing to meet with Goo Geon.
Although Maria had spoken directly to Gugeon before, she had never refused to meet him like this.
The change between the two men and women could be explained in one word.
distrust.
Maria was now blatantly distrusting Gu Geon.
‘It’s not unreasonable. How many times have you told lies that are visible to your eyes? … .’
I tried to reassure myself that this was all for the guild’s future, but my taste buds were still bitter.
Before becoming a hunter, Yoo Ji-won injected ether at the guild lab.
During the qualification test, Yoo Ji-won received preferential treatment, and Cheon Hae-seon received a difficult mission.
After becoming a hunter, he performed illegal procedures on Yoo Ji-won, etc.
Each time, Maria asked Goo-geon sharp questions, but Goo-geon remained ignorant.
But this time, I couldn’t turn away.
Even though Yoo Ji-won witnessed him eating people, the deaths of his colleagues were recorded as simple utterances.
I received help from Cheon Hae-seon, but I could not confirm the record anywhere.
Gu Geon felt that he couldn’t avoid Maria’s interrogation this time.
But surprisingly, Maria did not ask Gu Geon about this incident.
Did you say that no comments are scarier than malicious comments?
Gugeon felt rather afraid of Maria, who remained silent.
On the other hand, I was also concerned about the actions of the ape who lost his son.
‘I expected they would use some kind of method, but… … . I never thought I would use Tenebra… … .’
I still vividly remember the image of the ape screaming in front of its dead child.
I thought that he would harm Cheon Hae-seon in some way, but Tenebrae’s intervention was beyond Gu Geon-i’s expectations.
‘Kang Hyeon… … .’
It is possible to know without the help of the association that Oh Jin-ah and Na Ji-hwan are members of Tenebra.
And who their leader is.
Goo Geon recalled the day in the past when he and Kang Hyeon had a secret dance.
The day when the majority of the people were helplessly destroyed in front of their eyes.
Even now, within the Glory Guild, the name ‘Kanghyun’ was at the level of a taboo.
The scene where he was hit that day was so engraved in people’s minds that even now, even though he is number 1 in the rankings, there is still public opinion that does not acknowledge Goo Geon.
‘That bastard can do it… … .’
Kang Hyeon.
It’s a name that will make you wake up even when you’re sleeping.
But at this moment, I have some expectations for him.
Given Kang Hyeon’s personality, there was no way he would give up on the request like this.
Even if it means taking action personally, he will kill Cheon Hae-seon.
‘I guess I can just watch the ritual and eat some rice cake.’
The moment he thought that Cheon Hae-seon could surpass him, Gu Geon-i gave up on recruiting him and separated him as a ‘person of interest’.
To him, a person of interest was a hunter who did not care if he died at any time, or rather wanted to die.
Because he must remain the best hunter in Korea forever.
‘Kang Hyeon… … Cheon Hae-seon… … . ‘I hope they both die at this opportunity.’
Goo Geon smiled with satisfaction as he imagined the scene of two people getting together.
I tried to erase my anxiety about Maria.

“So, you’re telling me to follow the vice president of the association?”
“huh.”
“What is the price?”
“Testation fee.”
Bisu’s pupils shake quite a bit.
There was no need to ask what the test fee was for.
Because she was planning to become a ‘new hunter’ in the coming quarter.

Yuk Cheol-wan recommended that she try becoming an actor or singer, but in the end, Bi-su chose the path of a hunter.
It was for some strange reason that excellent hunters are more popular than celebrities these days.
The problem is the application fee for the hunter qualification exam.
There is no way that Bisu, who has just started to become independent, has a large amount of money, 50 million won.
Didn’t I also sneak into the Poison Dungeon to raise money?
When I heard that he would give me not just a penny or two, but 50 million won for one shot, I gave up on the offer.
“call. I actually tried a lot on the black market. tailing.”
“You must be young.”
“Is it good to have a conversation? “Do you think it’s true that I earned over 10 billion won?”
“We’re not there yet.”
However, it is true that he made money in billions.
I am looking for a place to live with my older sister after leaving the open-dong rental village.
If possible, we are looking for a large house with few people around.
Not only is the public interest, but we also need to protect Dr. Jin for the time being.
[oh… … . Please come in first.]
As soon as my older sister saw Dr. Jin’s haggard appearance, she immediately prepared a seat for him.
In fact, I was more worried about Dr. Jin than my sister’s reaction.
Even though it was cured with gold, it did not cure Dr. Jin’s paranoia.
Should I say that I am very fortunate?
Unlike other people, Dr. Jin did not feel particularly afraid of his sister.
The very obvious reason followed, ‘I feel reassured because it looks like you.’
Although he has found stability, Dr. Jin’s mental health is like a ticking time bomb.
If possible, it was necessary to move to a place without people.
There can’t be three people in a small house forever.
My sister and I also wanted a quiet neighborhood, so there was no problem with our choice.
“If I move, can’t I live there too?”
“no.”
“Why, we’ve already lived together before.”
“Don’t say things that will easily be misunderstood.”
“Hi-Hi. What is a misunderstanding? “It’s all true.”
Bisu puts one arm around his neck and lets out a strange breath.
Any man would break out in a sweat, but not in my case.
“It’s true that he climbed on the sofa where I was sleeping.”
“Oh, who can get on it?”
Bisu’s cheeks turned as red as his hair.
Why do you start a fight you can’t win?
“It starts the day after tomorrow morning. “The vice president was on vacation that day.”
“How do you know that? “It must be inside information.”
“I have a very talented hacker under me.”
A treasure chest called V1.
Bisu looked like he didn’t know what it was and then shrugged his shoulders.
“Well, I don’t mind as long as you give me money.”
“It’s easy to work with. See you then.”

The sudden vacation disrupted the schedules of the officials, but no one expressed any dissatisfaction with the apes.
Because anyone could see that he needed rest.
His always gentle appearance became very disheveled, and his once neat beard turned into that of a homeless person.
The association’s employees hoped that the ape would feel better at this time, and even breathed a sigh of relief at the news of the vacation.
However, the apes’ actions were completely opposite to people’s thoughts.
He was planning to meet Kanghyun today.
Ssssss.
The arboretum does not have many tourists due to the recent appearance of monsters.
Kanghyun was standing there.
Click.
Perhaps knowing that the ape was approaching, he took out a blade of grass of a strange purple color from a container the size of his palm.
Hwareuk.
For some reason, the blades of grass are burning without any spark.
However, if you remember what his ‘type’ was in the past, the question is quickly answered.
In the past, this was something he would have done while hiding in a suitable place.
However, he burned the purple blades of grass even though the apes were watching, or rather, as if to show off.
Then he deeply sucked in the scent and drank it in.
Poison pill.
He was a poison addict, known as the drug of the Poison Dungeon.
“… … It’s still the same. Even though it ruined your life.”
Kanghyun didn’t even blink at the ape’s malicious words.
Kanghyun’s eyes, which were the only thing visible because they were covered by an eye patch, were filled with mockery.
“Screw it? Quite the opposite. “I found freedom through this.”
“So, did you spread your distribution network across the country to share freedom with others?”
“Let’s leave the past behind at that point. “Nothing good comes from touching each other, right?”
What is so proud about a subject that failed a request?
The ape grunted and gritted its teeth.
“good! Don’t talk about the past, talk about the present! “If you’ve been given 90 billion won worth of money, shouldn’t you make sure things are done properly?”
“I really want to ask the opposite question.”
Kang Hyeon is in his 40s.
Although he was naturally thin, his cheeks were unusually sunken, possibly due to the aftereffects of poisoning.
Kanghyeon asked the ape with a sharp expression as if he had been cut by a knife.
“If only you had given me accurate information from the beginning, this wouldn’t have happened.”
“What’s wrong? This shameless guy… … .”
“Listen carefully.”
Kang Hyeon swallowed up the remaining poison and continued speaking.
“You also have pierced ears, so you must have heard the report. A hole hundreds of meters long was dug at the site. That’s a physics level that’s impossible unless you’re at ‘S’ level. “The ‘S’ rank hunter we sent is Oh Jin-ah, not Na Ji-hwan.”
“… … !”
Only then did the ape realize that something was strange.
At that time, I was just immersed in the fact that Cheon Hae-seon was alive and not dead, and it was not a situation to find anything else strange.
“Oh Jin-ah and Na Ji-hwan have never gone out together and failed. Moreover, Cheon Hae-seon is only a support healer, not a combat type. “Even if he is not an ‘S’ ranker but an ‘S’ ranker grandfather, he cannot beat those two.”
Even after drinking so much poison, Kang Hyeon reconstructed the incident in a logical and orderly manner.
“Then the following conclusion remains.”
Kang Hyun made a gun with his fingers and aimed it at the ape.
“Cheon Hae-seon has a special killing power.”
“… … !!”
“That’s also the killing power equivalent to an ‘S’ rank.”
Then the ape gave a vicious attack.
“That can’t be possible! Cheon Hae-seon clearly did not detect any other abilities other than being a healer! “It’s been less than a year since he took the hunter qualification test!”
“under… … .”
Is it because of the poisonous energy?
Or is it because of the pent-up resentment?
Kanghyun sighed deeply.
“Because the level of the vice president is this high, the Korean association is always getting stabbed in the back.”
“… … !!!”
“But I didn’t hide it on purpose, so I’ll skip it. “If you knew and pretended not to know, you would have had your head blown off right here today.”
“me… … “Are you saying you suspected it?”
“Isn’t it obvious? This side accepted your offer and lost one of its best forces. “Because of unconfirmed information.”
After losing my son and throwing everything away, I can’t believe I have to be suspicious.
The ape felt like his blood was rushing.
“But thanks to your stupidity, my suspicions were allayed. Call Cheon Hae-seon to this place tomorrow. quietly.”
“tomorrow?”
“okay. I saw that it closes after 10 p.m. “It’s an appropriate place to quietly kill someone.”
After failing at the first attempt, are you now asking me to spoon-feed you?
The ape was furious, but couldn’t let it out.
This is because there were no particular loopholes in Kang Hyeon’s theory.
“good. Don’t cooperate. But if you fail again… … .”
“There is no way to fail.”
For the first time, a faint smile appeared on Kanghyeon’s lips.
The laugh was so mischievous that the ape shuddered without even realizing it.
“Wouldn’t it have been better? This time, you will be able to see it right in front of your eyes. Watching Cheon Hae-seon die.”
It’s just as he said.
If only Cheon Hae-seon is brought in, the work will succeed without a hitch.
Because the man in front of me was the strongest hunter of his time.
“Try to believe it for the last time.”
The ape nodded with a heavy expression.
and,
‘and… … . ‘That’s crazy.’
A distance of 15 steps away.
In a place that the two men did not recognize, someone was sweating.
