Three Meals of a Reincarnator

Chapter 317

Chapter 317

Meanwhile, he felt the most uncomfortable with the American hunter leader, Ethan.

Ethan looked very displeased.

Ho Sung Lee sighed and looked straight at Ethan.

“Ethan.”

In response, Ethan stared back at Ho Sung Lee as if he had nothing to fear.

In Ho Sung Lee’s eyes, the hunter leaders didn’t want to acknowledge that he was representing Min Sung Kang, and their faces were full of doubt.

If he let the power struggle get to him, things would become very uncomfortable.

This was also what Commander Ji Yoo Kim of Central Institute was worried about.

They instinctively were afraid of Min Sung Kang but had no intention of being controlled by his representative.

He could feel that Min Sung Kang was the only one they were afraid of.

“I’m here as Min Sung Kang’s representative, and I mustn’t taint his worth.”

In response, Ethan knitted his brows.

Ho Sung Lee continued with a smile, “I’m telling you to keep your manners.”

Once the other hunter leaders looked at Ethan’s crooked posture, he looked a little taken aback.

Ethan smiled bitterly and fixed his posture.

“Happy now?” Ethan asked Ho Sung Lee.

Ho Sung Lee nodded.

“Good. Then let’s begin,” said Ho Sung Lee as he looked at the prepared documents.

“...”

In response to the silence, Ho Sung Lee lifted his head and looked at the hunter leaders with a suspicious look.

They were all staring back at him.

Ho Sung Lee was unable to understand.

“... What are you doing?” Ho Sung Lee asked with a stiff look on his face.

Some of the hunter leaders coughed while others laughed, and some other hunter leaders including Ethan glared at Ho Sung Lee.

“I said, what do you think you’re doing?”

Ho Sung Lee asked with a strong voice. The atmosphere grew cold.

But regardless, the hunter leaders continued to resist.

It appeared that they saw him as an ant who was sitting at the head of the table pretending to be the king.

“I guess you’ve forgotten that I’m here as Min Sung Kang’s representative,” said Ho Sung Lee coldly as he got up.

“Let’s cancel this meeting then.”

As soon as Ho Sung Lee clicked his tongue and got up, some of the hunter leaders stared at him in an annoyed manner.

And then...

“What did we do wrong?”

“Are you being bossy because you’re here in Min Sung Kang’s stead?”

The hunter leaders’ attitude was so strong that Ho Sung Lee laughed and was at a loss for words. He was so shocked that he was unable to say anything.

He didn’t understand why they would behave in such a way.

‘What makes them think they can do this?’

He figured there must’ve been a reason, and he needed to find out that reason for himself, but Ho Sung Lee also believed that he couldn’t let that pass for Min Sung Kang’s sake.

He was once the clan leader of Diamond Clan.

And now that he had to pressure the hunter leaders from all over the world, he felt how different things had gotten.

He had a hard time getting used to the change, but the world had changed, and so had he.

And he was also responsible for being Min Sung Kang’s representative.

He had no reason to be afraid.

All he had to remember was one thing—to not be greedy.

But to let them know of his power, Ho Sung Lee believed that that was his role.

Ho Sung Lee looked at Commander Ji Yoo Kim of Central Institute.

Ji Yoo Kim didn’t step in his way.

She remained quiet.

Her attitude implied that she would respect whatever decision he made.

Ho Sung Lee was confident in himself.

He walked toward the hunter leader closest to him and sat on the table in front of him.

Ho Sung Lee stared down at him.

The Russian hunter leader, who called him bossy, suddenly turned red.

Ho Sung Lee smirked.

“If I decide to be bossy, what are you going to do about it?” Ho Sung Lee asked while giving the Russian hunter leader a cold gaze.

In response to Ho Sung Lee’s sudden attack, the Russian hunter leader swallowed his rage and lowered his eyes.

Ho Sung Lee lifted his eyes and looked at the other hunter leaders.

“Did I take over your countries or something? Did I ask you for anything? I tried to make this go smoothly as possible, but you’re trying to eat me alive over here.”

The atmosphere became sharp.

“Was I the one who wanted to have a meeting with you? You were the ones who called for it! So what is it that you wanted to say to Min Sung Kang’s representative?”

Ho Sung Lee gave off killer energy, and the hunter leaders were startled.

The energy he gave off wasn’t the mere energy of a former clan leader.

During his time with Min Sung, he had grown so much that the hunter leaders felt pressure that prevented from being able to think properly.

Ho Sung Lee shook his head at the hunter leaders.

“You’ve got the wrong idea. You shouldn’t be wary of Min Sung Kang. In that time, you should do everything you can to prevent your countries from being harmed. Why are you coming off like this?” Ho Sung Lee asked Ethan.

“If you’re coming off this way, it probably means you’re ready to handle the aftermath. Go ahead and do what you want.”

Ho Sung Lee put his hands in his pocket and left the meeting room.

***

Silence fell in the meeting room after Ho Sung Lee left, and Ethan tapped on the table with his index finger.

Everyone was looking at Ethan.

Even Commander Ji Yoo Kim looked at Ethan.

“Commander Kim of Central Institute.”

Ethan lifted his gaze as he called Ji Yoo Kim’s name.

Ji Yoo Kim looked back at Ethan.

“It’s arrogant to try to control the world with just one person’s strength. It’s proven by history.”

Ji Yoo Kim smiled but didn’t respond.

Ethan continued, “The whole world functions based on the economy and money. Armed protests come with limits. I’m saying it’s hard to be welcomed by the entire world using that method. He might be a hero now...”

Ethan continued while staring at Ji Yoo Kim, “But do you think that’ll last forever?”

She had an idea of what Ethan meant by that, and she had seen it coming.

She also knew that they wouldn’t surrender so easily.

“Are you finished? I don’t think it’s a good idea to continue talking while Min Sung Kang’s representative, Ho Sung Lee is no longer here.”

Ethan’s face twitched.

“I understand what you’re saying. Let’s end the meeting here.”

Ji Yoo Kim got up from her seat.

Once she left the meeting room, the faces of the hunter leaders began to turn into smiles.

The same went for Ethan.

“They’ll find out soon enough how useless it is to trust just one man’s power,” said Ethan.

The hunter leaders smiled and nodded in agreement.

Ho Sung Lee threw away the cigarette he was smoking.

“Why were they so confident back there?”

Ho Sung Lee grimaced due to his lack of understanding. They also knew that if Min Sung Kang really wanted to, he could wipe out the US.

But they didn’t seem to care about that.

Why not?

While Ho Sung Lee stood with his hand on his hip and a frustrated look on his face, the sound of high heels could be heard.

Ho Sung Lee turned around.

He saw Commander Ji Yoo Kim of Central Institute.

“You seemed really insulted back there,” said Ji Yoo Kim with a bitter smile.

Ho Sung Lee knitted his brows and swept his hair back.

“Why are they so confident?”

Ho Sung Lee vented his frustration, but Ji Yoo Kim looked quite relaxed.

“I think they’re certain that Min Sung would never commit an inhuman act. They’ve been collecting information on Min Sung until now, and that’s probably what led them to that conclusion.”

“Isn’t that too dangerous to assume?”

“They’re probably afraid that if they don’t get a hold of the fight now, they would be harmed after losing all of their rights.”

“So they’re looking down on Min Sung,” said Ho Sung Lee with a passionate face.

Ji Yoo Kim shook her head.

“It might be a little more complex than that. Since Min Sung isn’t showing up in the media, they’re probably thinking of dragging him out with provocation.”

“So they’re feeling us out?”

“Probably.”

“This is so complicated, but what you’re saying makes sense. I get it, but I think they’re being too arrogant.”

“That was probably a part of their plan. They think that they’re the ones in charge of navigating diplomacy with Min Sung.”

“What would you have done if you were me?”

Ji Yoo Kim shook her head.

“I’m not sure. It’s hard to predict Min Sung.”

Ho Sung Lee sighed.

“That’s true.”

“You could say they have an alliance. And like they said, people think Min Sung is a hero now, but if the economy takes a huge hit, they’ll turn their backs.”

Ho Sung Lee laughed.

“That easily?”

“That’s how people are.”

Ho Sung Lee clicked his tongue. He bit down on his lip and thought for a moment before looking back at Ji Yoo Kim.

“Then what should we do now? What do you think?” Ho Sung Lee asked Ji Yoo Kim.

Ji Yoo Kim smiled confidently at Ho Sung Lee.

“Since they declared war, we should act, too.”

Ho Sung Lee looked at Ji Yoo Kim’s confident smile with surprised eyes.
