nChapter 161: Chapter 161

nHo Sung Lee was certain.

nMin Sung Kang was not only the god of devils, but he was a top devil that turned into a human being.

nHo Sung Lee was impressed by the Samchunkyo leader’s mental strength.

nHe endured that horrific state for so long that the Samchunkyo leader’s body looked like it was dying away.

nIf it was him, he would have lost his mind already.

n

n

n“Sir, there’s the sedative recipe I brought from the library.”

nHo Sung Lee wiped out his thoughts and handed over the item.

nRight in front of the Samchunkyo leader on the ground, Min Sung accepted the recipe from Ho Sung Lee.

nThere were no lies.

nThe recipe contained how to make the sedative that would suppress the item’s side effects in great detail.

n“Sir, that’s not all. I also found some sedatives that have already been made.”

nMin Sung nodded and put the recipe inside his item window.

n“Tell the world hunters that we took care of Samchunkyo and to prepare to meet with us.”

nMin Sung wrapped up the situation and swung his Orichalcum Sword.

nKaboommm!

n

n

nAlong with a loud thunderous noise, the Samchunkyo leader’s body was sliced in half.

nAfter confirming the Samchunkyo leader’s death, he walked over to Taehwajeon without any lingering feelings.

n***

nThe American hunter master, Ethan, heard the news from Ho Sung that Samchunkyo had lost the fight.

nEthan stared into space while smoking a cigarette and grimaced without much energy.

n“This is now Min Sung Kang’s world.”

nEthan laughed. He put out his cigarette and then proceeded to wash his face with both of his bulky hands.

n“Phew…”

nWhen he sighed, the interphone rang.

nEthan pressed the speaker button, allowing him to hear the secretary’s voice.

n

n

n“Master, a meeting with Min Sung Kang has been arranged. You can check for it in your mail.”

nEthan hung up and put his hand on his mouse with a nervous face.

nWhen he went into his inbox, he saw the appointment just as his secretary had said.

n6 PM

nKorea Grand Party Hall

n‘World Hunter’ Gathering

nEthan stared at the small words on the screen as he scratched his head.

nEthan could already feel the pain of the media’s criticisms, so he showed a pained face as he sighed and clenched back on his teeth.

nAll he could do now was wait for the storm to pass.

n

n“Where did Ssol go?”

nHo Sung Lee went everywhere looking for the gold goblin, but he couldn’t find him anywhere.

nHe was scratching his head while looking around, and when he put a cigarette in his mouth, he heard a rustling noise.

n“Wow-!”

nThe gold goblin popped out from between the trees like a ghost.

n“Agh!”

nHo Sung Lee flinched backward.

nIn response, the gold goblin, Ssol, grabbed his belly, which resembled that of E.T. and laughed without a sound.

n“You startled me!”

nHo Sung Lee screamed at him, but he was just laughing at a flower blooming on a tree branch.

n

n

n“Sigh.”

nHo Sung Lee headlocked Ssol as if he was a mother of 3 and proceeded to drag him along.

nHo Sung Lee then saw something and stopped.

nMin Sung was sitting in the library with his legs crossed and his eyes closed.

nEven Ssol, who was still in Ho Sung Lee’s headlock, expressed his awe.

n‘What is he doing?’

nBeside Min Sung was a pile of books that the Samchunkyo leader left behind.

n‘Is he meditating?’

nHo Sung Lee tilted his head in wonder.

n***

nThe cardinal law outlined by the books.

nSimply put, meditation was quite an interesting thing.

nDespite having to focus intensively, it made one feel at peace.

nMin Sung’s body was covered by a magic spell, and he absorbed that energy from around him.

nBut Samchunkyo’s books explained a different method.

nThey stored magic power within their lower abdomens and circulated it through the alveolar veins.

nThat made one’s head feel clear, the body refreshed and light and the consumed magic power immediately recharged itself.

nThat meant that Min Sung was now able to regenerate all of his magic powers including his vital force and his recovery power.

nMin Sung didn’t know the time was passing due to this surprising magic and fell into a trance.

n***

nWhile Min Sung stayed at Samchunkyo for a while, the media put the spotlight on Min Sung Kang.

nThe assembly, which was formed to raid the Black Tower, was now closed off from the media due to confidential military matters.

nBut when the Black Tower disappeared and peace returned, the media released all of the materials they had gathered.

nAnd of course, the subject of those materials was Min Sung Kang.

nSince Min Sung’s identity hadn’t been announced to the world yet, the media started to attack the world with their reports.

nAnd because Min Sung Kang appeared in the world in such a sudden away, the citizens couldn’t help but feel unfamiliar.

nBut once they came to know just how impressive Min Sung Kang was through the articles, the citizens began showing more and more interest.

nAnd the explosive interest in Min Sung Kang led to a change.

nIf he was a superstar by day, he was a superhero by night.

nAnd after a little more time, Min Sung Kang had become a God among the public.

nThe time it took for the entire world to change their views on Min Sung Kang was less than 5 hours.

n***

nMin Sung woke up from his meditation and opened his eyes.

nHo Sung Lee put out his cigarette and ran over to Min Sung immediately.

nHo Sung Lee was going to say something when he looked at him with surprised eyes.

nMin Sung’s gaze looked different from before.

nHe had dark eyes like a basement, but his eyes now were shining with a bright light.

n“Ho Sung.”

n“Yes?”

n“Blowfish.”

n“… Pardon?”

nMin Sung got out of his lotus position and jumped down from the guardrail.

n“Look for a good restaurant when we get back to Korea,” Min Sung told Ho Sung Lee.

n“Were you thinking about food during your meditation?”

n“It helped me focus. Get ready to leave. I’m getting hungry.”

nIn response, Ho Sung Lee broke out in sweat that dripped from his forehead.

n“Yes, Sir. But what about the youngest brother, Min Ho Kim? What are you going to do with him?”

n“I’ll hand him over to the Central Institute. Put him in the car. We’ll take the Warp Gate together.”

nHo Sung Lee flashed a bright smile.

n“Yes, Sir!”

nMin Sung thought strangely of Ho Sung Lee’s sudden tension and got up.

nHo Sung Lee smiled and then started looking around in shock.

n“Ugh, where’s Ssol?”

nHo Sung Lee trembled as he set out to look for Ssol once more.

n***

nThe big palaces of Samchunkyo were lit on fire.

nThere was dark smoke coming from it as Samchunkyo turned into ashes.

nFirefighters and specialized hunters rushed over to Samchunkyo in order to put out the fire while Min Sung and his party drove over to the Warp Gate.

nHo Sung Lee, who was in the driver’s seat, glanced over at Bowl and the man who was playing together.

nHe was smiling nicely and fooling around with Bowl as if nothing bad had happened to him in the past.

nSince he lost all of his memory, he didn’t seem to feel any pain or sadness.

nHe was impressed by Bowl.

nHe was able to erase one’s memory.

nHo Sung Lee considered that an amazing ability.

nHowever, the youngest brother, Min Ho Kim, was probably curious.

nAbout the memories and his past that he forgot.

nHo Sung Lee sighed deeply.

n‘That’s something he has to overcome on his own.’

n“How much longer?”

nMin Sung asked as he looked out the window.

n“20 more minutes. But Sir. I feel like you’ll get tired when you get back to Korea.”

n“Why?”

nMin Sung looked over at Ho Sung Lee.

n“The media have been putting you in their headlines ever since the dungeons and the Black Tower disappeared. So you’re a world star now.”

nHo Sung Lee glanced over and laughed without much confidence.

nMin Sung didn’t like things that were bothersome, so Ho Sung Lee was worried he would get angry, but Min Sung was surprisingly calm.

nHe looked at his face in more detail through the back mirror and saw that he was thinking about something deeply as he looked out the window.

nHo Sung Lee watched him before putting his eyes back on the road.

n***

nThey took the Warp Gate back to Korea.

nAs soon as they entered the lobby, a lot of mumbling could be heard from outside.

nIt seemed as though reporters were gathered around.

nHo Sung Lee’s heart sank when he noticed Min Sung looking at the entrance.

nHe wondered if he was going to kill them all for shoving cameras up his face.

n“Sir, I’ll look for a better way to get out of…”

n“That’s okay.”

n“Pardon?”

n“No need.”

nMin Sung opened the fridge and drank a can of beer.

nHe enjoyed the refreshing carbonated drink and threw the can away.

nMin Sung wiped his mouth and then proceeded out the door.

nHo Sung Lee took Ssol and Min Ho Kim and followed after him.

nAs soon as he stepped outside, there was a barricade at a 50-meter radius stopping the reporters from getting any closer. They were flashing their cameras as they took their photos.

nHo Sung Lee looked around with a shocked look on his face.

nThere were over 100 reporters.

nThere were both Korean and foreign reporters at the scene.

nThe gold goblin, Ssol, clapped his hands as he looked around in awe.

nAnd the youngest brother, Min Ho Kim, who followed Min Sung here, stared blankly at the reporters.

n
