The Heavenly Demon Can’t Live a Normal Life

Chapter 479

Chapter 479 Unconventional Move (5)

The atmosphere has become chilly.

Moon Tae-joon, who had been talking politely until just now, crookedly crossed his legs and looked at Kim Jun-hyeok.

“The mayor really enjoys his job.”

The actions of the Incheon government.

It’s not impossible.

However, if there was even a little bit of understanding about the bottom of Incheon, this would not have happened in the first place.

“According to reports, Red Moon was annihilated in just one or two hours. It is not unaware that the Incheon government has its own hidden powers, but it is physically impossible to deal with the Red Moon in such a short time. If so, you can understand that ‘unknown forces’ intervened in this incident. And above all else, Red Moon is what Incheon needs. In a situation where a catastrophe may strike, there is no way that the mayor of Incheon, who thinks horribly of Incheon, will cause self-restraint.”

It was a valid argument.

Concerned about the loss of troops, Kim Jun-hyeok postponed the subjugation of the ant nest, but there was no reason to start a war with Red Moon so suddenly.

Doubts swelled. Looking at Moon Tae-jun coldly looking at him, Kim Jun-hyeok said calmly.

“So I did this. It’s because of Red Moon’s disrespectful attitude, just like the inspector.”

“What does that mean?”

“At first, I thought Red Moon was necessary for the future of Incheon. However, they planted people in the Incheon government and stole Incheon’s talented people into guilds. I can understand that far. The future of talented people does not necessarily have to be tied to Incheon. The problem is that Red Moon was secretly stealing supplies from Incheon to advance into Seoul. If so, I’ll ask. How will you deal with those who cause trouble that are of no help to the future of Incheon?”

Moon Tae-joon was taken aback.

advance to Seoul.

It was related to Moon Tae-joon.

When Red Moon’s illegal activities were pointed out, he couldn’t speak carelessly as he couldn’t understand Kim Jun-hyeok’s intentions.

“… You must be punished.”

“you’re right. So I went to the Red Moon. I was thinking of punishing the wrongdoing properly, but they attacked first with the enemy, and it spread into an all-out war. The result is what the investigator confirmed.”

“Yes, I understand. If that’s all true, why the hell did you report that in the first place? When the Incheon government first announced the massacre of the Red Moon, didn’t they say it as if it were an outside action?”

I asked the horsetail.

That was definitely the questionable part.

However, Kim Jun-hyeok knew that there was no need to completely resolve the question.

“We just changed our minds. I tried to bury this fact, but the investigator came to see me so early, so I revealed the truth.”

“Kuhm.”

Moon Tae-joon showed disapproval.

His head will be complicated.

The fact that the power of the Incheon government is stronger than expected, and the current situation in which his illegal acts have been pointed out. That was enough.

From the moment Kim Joon-hyeok pushes ahead with the actions of the Incheon government, Moon Tae-joon has to understand not only the outside forces, but also Kim Jun-hyeok’s intentions.

The truth may come out someday, but at least you can secure the one month time you promised with Roman Dmitri.

And above all.

I didn’t like Moon Tae-jun’s attitude.

It was necessary to reveal the existence of Incheon at least once in order to change his perception of him who looked down on Incheon.

“… I understand for now. If they had committed an illegal act and even attacked first, the Incheon government would have had no choice but to wage an all-out war against Red Moon. I will report this as such. But be careful in the future. If such extreme handling is frequent, the central government will have no choice but to step out, no matter how independent the chain of command is.”

“All right.”

“And I couldn’t tell you in advance, but there was an order from the President to increase the bonus by 10% in the future.”

Taejun Kim’s eyes widened.

This was an unacceptable statement.

“You want to increase the bonus. Even if it is not, Incheon cannot afford the repayment in a difficult situation.”

“That’s just Incheon’s situation. keep in mind An independent chain of command comes with its own obligations. If you don’t follow the central government’s order, Incheon will be pushed to the bottom of the list when a catastrophe strikes.”

Moon Tae-jun laughed meanly.

When he mentioned the bonus, the atmosphere changed and he felt that he had taken the initiative again.

Taejun Moon stood up from his seat and said.

“You never know when a cataclysm will strike. So, as always, use your judgment wisely for the future of Incheon.”

* * *

The place where Moon Tae-joon stepped down.

Kim Jun-hyeok rummaged through his pockets.

He nervously threw it to the floor at an empty box with nothing on it.

Took.

“It looks like a beggar.”

20 years after the catastrophe.

The world has turned into hell.

Emergency rather than common sense prevailed, and the president, who had to take care of the people, even threatened them under the pretext of safety.

Moon Tae-joon’s threats are not empty words. In fact, when the fifth catastrophe struck, the president removed the political opponents he usually disapproved of.

It was so easy and simple. When support was pushed to the lower priority, no one alive existed at the scene that I visited late.

Incheon too.

It was an inevitable future.

If the central government ignored Incheon, it was clear that this place would be abandoned regardless of distance.

“… Roman Dmitry. Why does he want such a useless city?”

suddenly.

The figure of Roman Dmitry came to mind.

Even Kim Joon-hyeok, who lost his romance due to the weight of his calm voice, momentarily dreamed of vain hope.

If, by any chance, he really cleans up the ant nest.

If he has enough strength to guarantee the safety of Incheon, Kim Jun-hyeok will build a future with him without the slightest hesitation.

‘At that time, it doesn’t matter if you have a black inside. Even if he fulfills his own self-interest through Incheon, as long as Incheon’s safety is guaranteed, I will give my all for him.’

I knew it was a futile hope.

In the meantime, I met many people, but each time I experienced a hopeless reality.

catastrophe.

It’s something humans can’t afford.

The endlessly influx of monsters could not be dealt with unless it was a national unit, so people formed their own forces.

Even the central government, where Kim Joon-hyeok hanged himself, was only a weakling who could not guarantee their safety by world standards.

Considering the scale of the catastrophe, which became stronger every time, it was possible that Korea itself might perish, let alone their help.

mouth was written

Kim Jun-hyeok put off complicated thoughts and called his secretary.

“Ten minutes later. Summon the leaders of Incheon. The central government has increased the deposit by 10%, so we will discuss it.”

“All right.”

Now it was time to focus on reality.

In a situation where you don’t know what kind of future will come, I had no intention of leaving all the problems to others.

Hope is only fleeting.

Kim Jun-hyeok melted into reality again.

* * *

Time passed quickly.

about a month after that.

The waiting room of Cheongsan, a mercenary guild in Incheon, was noisy with mercenaries as usual.

“Oh fuck, I can’t play cards. does this make sense? The last time I had a flash of spades, but a full house came out. This time I had a full house and four cards? Hey, you fuckers!”

Pak.

threw the card

At the sound of people giggling, Park Ki-tae, a D-class hunter, jumped out of his seat.

I was annoyed.

Even the money was blown away in a situation where the recent request was insignificant, so I couldn’t laugh and play cards with people anymore.

Came out.

I had a cigarette and tried to calm down for a while, but someone lit a fire next to me.

Chick.

“Guild leader?”

“You seem to have lost a lot?”

“No matter how you look at it, there is a kid who takes out the bottom. I wouldn’t say anything if it was just applied, but I give a full house and play four cards too much.”

“Yes, yes. You deserve to be angry.”

The opponent is the guild leader of Cheongsan.

It was Gu Cheol-ho.

Gu Cheol-ho smoked a cigarette together and spoke in a quiet voice.

“Do you want to take on a mission this time?”

“What is it?”

“The cost of exploring the anthill is 100 million won. how is it?”

Moment.

Park Ki-tae froze while smoking.

1 billion.

It was an amount that could not be ignored.

Normally, I would have accepted it with a snap, but I couldn’t because of the word ‘exploring ant burrows’ attached to the front.

“… If it’s an ant hole exploration, it’s a place that the Incheon government gave up this time. If two ant queens have been producing ants for months, that side is probably a living hell. Where the hell did you take charge of this subjugation?”

“Where is it? It’s an individual subjugation.”

“You intend to kill me. It is clear that you have a grudge against me.”

I turned my head around.

The rewards are coveted, but you can’t survive by risking your life on a mission like this.

It was an expected reaction.

Goo Cheol-ho said.

“Yes, it is a very dangerous mission. But the problem is that the advance payment is 100 million won. If you complete all the missions, they will give you another 200 million, so go follow them to see if it’s a good party. If you really think you can subdue the ant nest, follow it to the end, and if not, I won’t hold you accountable even if you run away with a teleport scroll in the middle. Opponents don’t want your fighting skills. Seeing as they’re trying to hire you as a guide, I’m sure you’re well prepared.”

“Write.”

Park Ki-tae.

he was a guide

Not all hunters are specialized in combat.

Complex hunting grounds such as anthills require guides, so Park Ki-tae used his ability to live as a guide.

Hearing it wasn’t bad. Park Ki-tae pondered for a long time because he could secure 100 million won even if he finished eating only the advance payment.

yet.

Park Ki-tae said while extinguishing a cigarette with his shoe.

“Even if I didn’t lose money, I would refuse. So, where should we go?”

* * *

On the day of the appointment.

Park Ki-tae felt his face tremble.

I expected a group party at least in the anthill, but only two people appeared in front of me.

“Nice to meet you. My name is Kang Min-ho, an E-rank Hunter. This is Roman Dmitri, the person I serve, and I haven’t taken the grade test yet, so I’m unrated. You are Park Ki-tae, who was commissioned by the Cheongsan Guild, right?”

“Park Ki-tae is right, but… .”

The destination is the anthill.

Also, if it is an anthill with two queen ants, common sense requires that it be a large party made up of B-rank or higher hunters.

Even so, a mission with no guarantee of success.

However, I couldn’t imagine that only E-rank hunters and non-rank hunters would come out here until right before I met them.

I felt dizzy.

He thought that Gu Cheol-ho had fucked him.

“I’m going to go to the bathroom for a while.”

avoided the seat.

In case you didn’t know

I hurriedly checked the information of the two people, thinking that they might have achieved great achievements that they did not know about.

Hunter database.

Here’s what came out about the two of them.

[Roman Dmitri]

-No information

[Kang Min-ho]

-E-class hunter

-E-class mission success

“… pestilence.”

The curse was intense.

Roman Dmitri didn’t have any information about him, and Kang Min-ho was from the bottom where he only had E-class missions. I didn’t understand the hell.

It was a request that cost 100 million won in advance, so why are these ridiculous people coming out? This was obvious.

It would be a way to hasten the people if he followed it for nothing, but Park Ki-tae could not give up the money of 100 million won.

‘Gitae, gitae. Let’s not act stupid.’

1 million.

I swallowed dry saliva.

Hunters are high-paying jobs, but those who earn hundreds of millions of dollars and live happily are all B-class or higher.

It’s too much money for Park Ki-tae, who is in the D grade. Park Ki-tae, who had been thinking for a while, took out a magic scroll from his chest.

‘First of all, you have to go to the anthill together to receive the advance payment. okay. I also have a magic scroll, and the guild leader said he wouldn’t hold me accountable. let’s follow All I have to do is get the advance payment and run away.’

I wasn’t sure if it was the right choice.

but.

I have already accepted reality in my heart.

I’ll do the best I can, and if I’m cornered, I’ll run away without looking back.

returned to his seat.

At the gaze of the two men looking at him, Park Ki-tae struggled to smile.

“Let’s go. I’ll guide you to the anthill from now on.”
