nChapter 126: Chapter 126

nThe next morning.

nThe world hunters including those of America received a message telling everyone to gather at the assembly.

nThe sender was Samchunkyo.

nSince they had no choice but to obey if they wanted sedatives, the hunters gathered at the specified time.

nAs soon as hundreds of world hunters arrived at the assembly, the sound of a sports car could be heard.

n

n

nThe world hunters showed nervousness, rage, and fear in their eyes as they waited for Samchunkyo’s hunter to arrive.

nA moment later, a red sports car parked in front of the assembly.

nAnd from the driver’s seat, the robed man got out holding a bag of documents.

nWhen the robed man looked around, the hunters avoided his gaze.

nThe robed man slammed his door shut and walked toward the meeting tent.

nThe commanders followed behind him.

nAs soon as the robed man sat down, so did the commanders.

nWhile the hunters watched on, the robed man took off his hood.

nThe commanders flinched at the robed man’s face.

nHe was missing an eye.

n

n

nAnd the other eye showed a large scar.

nOn top of that, the only eye he had was fierce and cold.

nThe robed man then put down a sword on the table.

nThud!

nThe sound of the slam made all the commanders’ hearts sink to the ground.

n“Did you come to an agreement?”

nThe robed man asked in a low voice.

nThe commanders all nodded to the robed man.

nThe robed man glared coldly.

n“Don’t just nod like retards and respond to me with words.”

n

n

nThe robed man’s voice was still low, but it was loud enough for all the commanders to be scared.

n“Sir!”

nThe commanders all changed at the same time out of nervousness.

nAs they all minded each other, the robed man got up and grabbed the handle of the sword.

nThe hunters’ eyes followed the sword in the robed man’s hand.

nThud!

nThe sword’s blade rammed into the table.

nAfter feeling the vibration of the table, the commanders gulped.

n“You probably thought that if you dragged enough time, you could pick a scapegoat and analyze the sedative to make it yourself.”

nThe commanders grew even tenser.

n

n

n“You probably want the sedative as soon as possible so that you can figure it out quickly.”

nThe commanders dripped in sweat after realizing they were found out.

n“Do you really think I wouldn’t have found out such a childish scheme?”

nThe robed man took the sword and slowly cut through the table.

nSlash!

nDespite the sword only cutting through wood, the sound made the commanders shiver.

n“We’d only take the sedative in front of you, so how could we take one to analyze? Please don’t suspect us for such a thing.”

nIn response to the commander, the robed man scanned each and one of their faces.

n***

nWhile Samchunkyo’s man and the world hunters were gathered in the meeting room, Ji Yoo Kim acted secretly.

n

n

nThe world hunters were all over the assembly. There was no way the sedatives were in the car he came in.

nIt had to be nearby.

nSomewhere not too far from the assembly.

nThe world hunters had to take the sedative within today in order to avoid death.

nAnd Samchunkyo needed these hunters in order to carry out their plans.

nSo there was no way they would let the hunters die so easily.

nJi Yoo Kim dispatched her people in order to find the sedative.

n***

nThe world hunters felt as if their insides were burning up.

nIt was agreed that once Ji Yoo Kim secured the sedative, she would give the hunters a sign.

nHowever, there was no sign to be seen.

nThe world hunters were minding the robed man, who looked as if he was going to kill them, while they also waited for Ji Yoo Kim to secure the sedative.

n“There’s something off about your faces.”

nThe robed man scanned all of the commanders’ faces with the sword against his shoulder.

nThe commanders were desperately waiting for the news while the robed man was catching on that something was up.

n***

n‘Where is it…?’

nThere wasn’t much time.

nShe continued to search, but the item in question was nowhere to be seen.

nJi Yoo Kim grabbed her aching head.

nBut that moment, she got an idea.

nSince there’s no way he hid it anywhere far…

n‘Is it in the ground?’

nThe thought made her heart flutter.

nIf she didn’t find the sedative, Samchunkyo was going to own the lives of the world hunters forever.

nThis was her last chance!

nHowever, if they did hide it in the ground, it was impossible to dig it up without getting caught.

nJi Yoo Kim grimaced and looked toward the assembly.

n***

nThe world hunters resigned.

nIt was time for them to eat the sedative, but they hadn’t received word that it was found.

nIf that was the case, that meant it was all over.

nAfter checking his watch, the robed man took out documents from his bag.

nIt was a contract.

nA contract agreeing for the Samchunkyo hunters to replace the positions of the commanders.

nThe magical contract, which took effect as soon as they stamped it, made the commanders feel burdened with responsibility.

nA document was placed in front of every commander.

nThere was no more time to waste.

nThe only way they could avoid a poison-induced death was to receive the sedative.

nEven if Ji Yoo Kim found the sedative, they had no choice but to sign the contract.

nThe problem was that Ji Yoo Kim had to secure the item before the robed man took out the pills.

nThe unfortunate circumstance made the commanders feel devasted.

nThe commanders held the contract with shaking hands.

n***

nJi Yoo Kim was frustrated.

nShe used all of her men at Central Institute to find it, but it was nowhere to be found.

nIf they really did bury it as predicted, it was almost impossible to retrieve.

nAfter all, it didn’t make sense to steal sedatives from a Samchunkyo hunter, who was more powerful than anyone.

nJi Yoo Kim plopped down with no energy.

nThe Central Institute hunters watched Ji Yoo Kim with sad eyes.

nAt that moment.

nFootsteps could be heard.

nThe footsteps were so perfectly rhythmic that it couldn’t have been human.

n“Huh…!?”

n“Aghhh!”

n“You startled me!”

n“What was that?”

nHer surroundings felt disturbed.

nSo she looked around to see where the sound was coming from.

nSomeone was walking toward where the Central Institue hunters were gathered.

nThe magical Lich doll.

nBowl.

nJi Yoo Kim stared at Bowl blankly.

nBowl wobbled over in a cute suit and looked up at Ji Yoo Kim.

n“… You,” Ji Yoo Kim muttered looking down at Bowl.

n“I was told to find this and give it to you.”

nBowl took out a sedative pill from his jacket and handed it over.

nJi Yoo Kim flinched.

n“H-how did you find this?”

n“It was in the ground. I dug it up and brought only one for you.”

nShe looked at the pill in Bowl’s hand in shock.

nShe then teared up.

n“Is it okay if I take this?”

n“Of course. My master said you could.”

nJi Yoo Kim looked around.

n“He’s not here.”

nShe laughed and smiled.

n“You came alone?”

n“No. I came with the son of a bitch.”

nJi Yoo Kim was taken aback.

n“Who are you calling a son of a bitch? You little skeleton?”

nHo Sung Lee showed up smiling.

nJi Yoo Kim nodded at Ho Sung Lee and turned toward Bowl.

n“Tell him I said thank you. And thank you to you as well,” Ji Yoo Kim expressed her gratitude as she accepted the item.

nIn response, Bowl snickered with his head tilted back.

n***

nThe world hunters signed the contract.

nOnce the robed man collected the contracts and put them in his bag, he picked up his sword and got up.

n“Someone from Samchunkyo will come soon. Prepare to welcome them.”

nHe then walked toward the center where the world hunters were standing and paused.

nThe robed man looked around him coldly which made the world hunters take a step back.

nThe robed man lifted his sword above his head.

nThe sword began to gather a strong force all around it.

nThe robed man then struck the ground with his sword.

nThudddddd!

nThe ground of the assembly cracked, making dirt and rocks fly out in all directions.

nA big hole formed.

nInside the big hole was a clean box.

nThe robed man went down into the hole and threw the box out of it.

nThud!

nThe heavy box landed on the ground.

nThe robed man climbed back out and opened the lid.

nRattle!

nAs soon as the lid opened, a bunch of pills could be seen.

nThe sedatives that would calm down their poison symptoms.

nWhen the robed man gestured with his chin, the commanders lined up in order to take the sedative.

nAt that moment, the expression on the commanders’ faces changed.

nThe reason was because Ji Yoo Kim signaled that she found the pill.

nThe commanders minded the robed man and tried to hide their faces.

nShe found the pill.

nIt was just a matter of time before the contents were analyzed.

nIt wasn’t going to take long.

nHowever, the problem was that they had already passed over the commander positions to Samchunkyo.

nBut it was already done and over with.

nThis meant that Min Sung had to face off against Samchunkyo in order to keep the world hunters alive and reclaim their positions.

n
