Requiem Of A Failed Hero

Chapter 112 The Visit (2)

"w-w-w-w-w-w-whhaa—tttttt? The legendary Chairman of the Korean Hunters Association is on my doorstep?!!" Min-ho screamed.

"Can I come in, Mr. Baek Min-ho?"

"Haaaa! Yessir!!" Min-ho saluted with stiffness and stepped to one side to allow the chairman to enter.

His house had become a place for important figures to visit ever since he started living with Raith.

The Chairman walked in gently and sat on the couch adjacent to the one Raith was on, he lay lackadaisically on the couch and pricked his nose with his finger.

Quite comfortable for one who just almost destroyed an entire city.

The chairman observed him for a few seconds.

'...I don't even need to look much, by his sheer presence I feel pressurized... perhaps I can take a look at his overall strength with my Keen sight."

The chairman's left eye began to let out a subtle blue glow.

[Someone is trying to take a peek into your strength]

[Only the total essence of darkness will be seen]

[If the person is not careful, he could be lost in the darkness]

Raith just scoffed as he saw the message.

Meanwhile, Chairman Mok Jun-Seo was already sweating all over.

Raith turned his gaze to the chairman, "You might get blind..."

"Heeeiiik!" Agent Jong-Su was already expecting this side of Raith to kick in, he knew very much how disrespectful Raith can be.

"You don't talk like that to the association chairman!" He shouted at Raith.

"It's okay Agent Jong-Su... my bad hunter Raith."

"It's fine..." Raith responded and looked back at the broken TV which he wished would somehow work.

"We have a bit of trouble in our hand"

Raith's eyeballs direction drifted over to the chairman.

"Your fight with Hunter Turner has escalated and caused a lot of trouble for us."

"...you are wrong."

"Pardon?" Chairman Mok Jun-Seo's brow lowered.

"He came at me first, you can't say my fight with Turner, it was Turner's fight with me..."

"Hyungnim hyungnim, this is the chairman of the South Korea Hunters Association..." Min-ho whispered to him.

"Shut up, let me talk..."

Min-ho immediately put his hands on his lips and nodded as Raith warned.

"...It is supposed to be Turner's fight with me, hence this situation. You seated before me like this, is supposed to be happening with Turner. Hell, he was the one that destroyed buildings."

"You are indeed right..." Chairman Mok Jun-Seo nodded, "...but Hunter Turner is considered a world-level asset. No one can and would want to touch him. The only case that he can be touched is if you prove that you are a world-level asset too."

Raith scoffed immediately and sat up, crossing his legs.

"Look at me very well." He said, his gaze fixated on the Chairman. "Do I look like someone that gives a fuck about the world? Maybe I used to... but I'm way past that, I have a lot on my plate and you my friend will be shocked to know that your world is just a little fraction of Cosmic essence."

The Chairman's brow lowered even more and his eyes were exuding hostility. He has heard of Raith's shitty personality but he didn't think it'd piss him off like this. Or was it because his son was being held as a hostage in the blue house and the only thing that can save this annoying trouble is if Raith takes the evaluation test and his rank comes out as a disaster rank at the very least– that is what they all prayed for.

"See, you would have lost to Turner if it wasn't for old man Yi Jiang."

Raith lowered his gaze and rubbed his chin, "I see, so that was the man's name"

"And I was the one that made that call... you might not understand what I had to sacrifice for that to happen but I didn't do it for you. I did it to protect the fact that you might be an asset to this country and we are not ready to lose that asset to anyone, not Turner, not death."

"...pfft waste of time. I would have defeated Turner even if the old man did not interfere." '...it'd just take me one or two death."

The chairman clenched his fist. None of his reasons seem to be getting through to Raith.

"Hunter Mok Jae-Hwa is being held hostage in the blue house by the president because he decided to protect you."

"Huh?" Raith tilted his head, "...that's a lie, that guy might be gentle but he is no slouch."

'Yes, his expression changed!' The chairman was glad, he didn't like the approach he was using– he'd have preferred a more commanding approach but it was not working with Raith who seem to have several screws loose.

"The ten strongest hunters were summoned to hold him down together. It has been that way since yesterday. And the only way to get him out is to re-evaluate you."

'...he is owing me money, and he also gave me a car. Thanks to him I was able to get this magnificent [Multiple Cognitive Resonance] skill. And I like him, he's a good person." Raith furrowed his brows.

"Let's go and burst him out of this yellow house..."

Chairman Mok Jun-Seo was shocked at Raith's sudden getup, but '...where did he even hear yellow house.'

He had to put an abrupt stop to Raith right there.

"No, no, we are not going to be doing that." He said.

Raith who was about to stand up sat back down.

"Why not?" He asked.

"Because that will cause more trouble if we want to make this work. We must re-evaluate you. And if all goes well, we also should be able to demand a compensation of three hundred billion dollars of which a hundred billion dollars will be accorded to you."

Raith's eyes widened, over his stay on earth he had gotten quite familiar with the figures of their money, especially when they say it is in dollars. And according to his calculation, one billion dollars was equal to five hundred billion leus, and now three hundred of those.

'...I'll be very rich!! After saving Volmak, we can just come here together and settle.' Raith's eyes sparkled.

"Okay then, should I go with you now."

"Ah, no, come tonight. We want it to be a discreet thing so you can come by the association later tonight."

"Okay," Raith nodded.

The association chairman stood up to take his leave, "Thank you very much, Hunter Raith."

'...I think I should be doing that...' Raith nodded his head like nothing was going on in his mind and watched as the Chairman and Agent Jong-Su left.

He made sure they were completely gone before he began his dance of joy at the thought of how rich he would be.

"Surely, the universe has decided to smile upon me!!"
