Three Meals of a Reincarnator

Chapter 122

Chapter 122

“Um, Sir. May I ask you something? I forgot to ask last time.”

“Sure.”

“Why did you think to go into the tower with the other world hunters?”

Ho Sung Lee tilted his head and continued.

“It’s not like you’re that interested in money, so I don’t understand why you went up there with them. You didn’t have to, and you don’t have the personality to do such a thing.”

“No reason.”

“...”

Ho Sung Lee wondered what Min Sung was thinking.

He waited for Min Sung to explain.

And then.

The answer came.

“I told you. I’m going to kill all the devils with my own bare hands.”

“Yes... you did. That’s why it’s weird. Why did you go there with the world hunters?”

“The world hunters are bothersome, but in order to protect all the restaurants in this world, I still need them. So I decided to train them a little.”

Ho Sung Lee stared at Min Sung in shock.

Min Sung then brushed his hands off.

“There are some delicious shellfish but some are not so good. I’m done. Also, take care of those things.”

“... pardon?”

Min Sung pointed around him with his chin.

Ho Sung Lee looked around in response.

There was a crowd of people around them.

They must have gathered when they saw Min Sung cooking shellfish in the air.

They clapped and cheered thinking it was some kind of magic show.

Ho Sung Lee sprung up. He announced that the magic show was over and ushered everyone to leave.

Meanwhile, Min Sung laid on his sunbed and closed his eyes.

***

Inside the room of a top hotel.

Min Sung washed off his sweat and sand from the beach.

The water dripped from his tanned skin.

As he let the shower water pour on him, he looked at himself in the mirror.

There were small and large scars all over his body.

They got them all in the Demonic Realm.

But why were the scars still there?

When the wound from when he fell from a cliff disappeared?

Why did he return to the human world, and who was that in his dream?

Thoughts such as these filled Min Sung’s mind.

Min Sung laughed.

At first, he was only interested in food, but now that he got used to living as a human, he became curious about many more things.

But that curiosity would only be resolved once he killed the devils.

There was no need to rush.

Min Sung finished his shower and came out of the tub.

While he put on a white shirt and dark pants, he heard the doorbell.

Once he dried his hair, he opened the door to find Ji Yoo Kim.

“What brings you here?”

Min Sung dryly asked.

“I have something to tell you.”

“Come in.”

Min Sung opened the door and sat on the edge of his bed.

“But make it quick.”

“China’s Samchunkyo began handing out items. They came to the assembly with a medicine that made America stronger. They offered them items.”

Min Sung knitted his brows.

“If you eat that item, you become more powerful?”

“Yes. That’s why America was much stronger than the other countries.”

“That’s why America wanted to go back to the tower.”

“Yes. And once you left and the rest of the soldiers got back to the assembly, Samchunkyo offered the rest of the countries the item. And that information got to the commanders in the tower, and in order to consume it, they returned to the assembly.”

“What about you?”

Min Sung asked while pointing at Ji Yoo Kim.

She shook her head.

“I don’t trust it. I don’t trust Samchunkyo or that item.”

“Why are they eating the item?”

“They must have been desperate after the tower and Samchunkyo appeared. And I feel like America already having ingested it might have to do with it as well.”

“So did that item help in clearing the floors of the Black Tower?”

“No. They failed the raid on the 9th floor. At this point, the commanders realized that they can’t clear the tower without your help.”

“That item was bait.”

Min Sung got up from his bed and sprayed some cologne on his wrist.

The royal suite room was quite luxurious.

He liked that the scent wasn’t strong.

“I’m going to kill the devils anyway, and in order to do that, I thought I needed to control those world hunters a little.”

Ji Yoo Kim gulped.

“What do you mean control the world hunters?”

“It’s true that I want to kill the devils, but I have another goal in mind.”

Min Sung continued,

“Hunters need to exist. They need to be alive. Both you and the world hunters.”

Ji Yoo Kim looked at Min Sung with shocked eyes.

“Just like the peace and justice you want, I don’t want the world to get dirty. Devils are just as evil and persistent as cockroaches. The devils you see now are nothing. The ones that are still hiding are powerful. If they decide to appear, then...”

Min Sung looked straight at Ji Yoo Kim.

“I won’t be strong enough alone. I can’t catch all the devils around the world all by myself. That’s why I need them. Both you and the hunters. I can’t take care of all the restaurants by myself.”

“What a simple reason...”

“That’s why I need to train them. That’s why I have to control them.”

Min Sung continued with a cold look in his eyes.

“What did you want to ask?”

“The world hunters probably realized that they’re powerless at the tower.”

“So?”

“They’re going to want to take you back.”

“Same with the Central Institute?”

Ji Yoo Kim smiled and shook her head.

“No.”

“That’s surprising.”

“I didn’t know before the tower appeared. Just how powerful you are.”

“...”

“Our Central Institute doesn’t have so many resources that we can make a deal with you.”

“So what did you want to ask then?”

“I’d like to know your choice.”

Silence followed.

To Ji Yoo Kim, it felt like a very long time.

Min Sung smiled and stood right in front of Ji Yoo Kim.

When she looked down out of surprise.

“Wait for the results. You’ll find out soon enough,” Min Sung said as he left the room.

***

“I’m worried that the Korean general might be sucking up to Min Sung Kang.”

“Don’t worry about her. She doesn’t have the money or the ability to do so.”

“America will probably offer a lot of money... We can’t win with money. At this rate, America will end up getting Min Sung Kang as a weapon...”

The commanders of each country were all thinking differently about the same subject.

Hunter, Min Sung Kang.

They were all focused on that one name.

And that man at the center was currently...

“This looks delicious.”

He returned to Korea and looked at a crab inside a tank.

As summer turned into fall, it was hard to say that it was the season of crabs, but it was approaching.

It was the most delicious when in season, but Min Sung couldn’t wait until then.

While riding in Ho Sung Lee’s car, he spotted a crab restaurant, and once he said he felt like eating some crab, Ho Sung Lee brought him to a famous place.

And as of right now.

It was time to pick which crab he was going to eat.

“I’ll go with this one.”

Min Sung pointed at one, and the store owner immediately fished it out.

“What would you like to order?”

“The full course.”

“Sure. I’ll prepare it right away. Please sit inside.”

They went inside in response to the owner’s instruction.

The hall was quite large.

The interior wasn’t magnificent, but it was clean and bright; it suited the crabs.

“Sir, I’ll be...”

“You sit down.”

In response, Ho Sung Lee showed a straight face and took off his shoes.

As soon as they sat down, Ho Sung Lee lifted up his index finger.

“Since we’re eating crab, we can’t forget soju.”

“Of course.”

Ho Sung Lee raised his hand.

“One bottle of soju, please!”

In response, the owner cheerfully brought over a bottle.

Ho Sung Lee rubbed his hands together in excitement.

Min Sung was excited as well.

Youngdeok Crab.

He had heard about it when he was little.

There was probably a reason why it was so famous.

Ho Sung Lee was about to open the soju bottle, but after seeing Min Sung, he put it back down.

Min Sung had his arms crossed as he waited for his food.

Unlike regular people, Min Sung was sensitive about food.

Rather than drinking first, it was all about the food.

For that reason, Ho Sung Lee had to respect Min Sung’s preference.

Ho Sung Lee also crossed his arms and waited for the food to come out.

“...”

The time passed as they waited.

***

The commanders of other countries were ready for a war against America, but they changed their minds.

At the moment, they couldn’t beat America.

So they had to change their direction.

Rather than recruiting Min Sung Kang, they had to get on his good side.

Whether America bribed Min Sung Kang or not, the other commanders decided to show Min Sung the good sides of himself and make a good impression.

If they couldn’t win against America, they were better off lining up behind Min Sung Kang and fighting for him instead.

And aside from America, every single country thought the same way.

As a result, the other countries besides America were preparing to create a union under Min Sung Kang.

***

Du-doom!

The crab arrived.

The crab’s body and legs were separated so that it would be easy to eat.

Raw crab legs, fried crab legs, cheese, and butter crab.

It was a feast of crabs.
