n“What if I have information that only the head of X-HIT should hear?”

nWhat Ho Sung Lee said was impactful, and as a result, Anna’s face turned stiff.

nHer eyes and expression were cold, which Ho Sung Lee had never seen before.

n“Hey, no need to look so scary. I’m not saying we should fight. I just want to show what I’ve got to offer.”

nHo Sung Lee spoke to Anna with stable eyes.

nAnna stared at Ho Sung Lee before turning her shoulders.

n“Wait here.”

nShe went into a crowd of people and disappeared somewhere.

nMeanwhile, Ho Sung Lee asked the bartender for a beer.

nThe bartender opened a bottle of beer for him, and Ho Sung Lee drank it while catching his breath.

nThat was when he sensed someone.

nWhen he turned around, the crowd made way for someone, and that was when a group appeared between them.

nThey were all holding weapons.

nHo Sung Lee continued to drink his beer and put a cigarette in his mouth while staring at their hostility.

n“Am I the target?”

nHo Sung Lee lit his cigarette, and Anna appeared from among them.

nHo Sung Lee scoffed and drank his beer while staring at her.

n“If you were just acting, we’ll kill you. But if you really do have valuable information, we won’t. So tell us now,” said Anna with cold eyes.

nHo Sung Lee gulped down his beer and slammed it down on the bar. He then let out a long sigh.

nWhile Ho Sung Lee sighed with his head down, he heard the clanging sound of weapons.

nWhen he heard that, Ho Sung Lee decided that he had no other choice.

nWhat was done was done.

nGiven the current circumstances, it was going to be difficult to take things slowly.

nIn order to bring down the head as quickly as possible, he had to face it head-on.

nBut if he suddenly slowed down now, the head could feel suspicious and hide. In that case, he could miss the opportunity entirely.

n‘What should I do?’

nWhile he wondered, he heard footsteps.

nWhen he lifted his head, Anna as well as the hunters holding weapons were surrounding him.

nIt seemed as though they were ready to use their weapons at any moment.

n“We can’t give you very much time. Don’t try anything funny and tell us right now.”

n“Bring me to your head. If not, something dangerous will happen to him. This is top information.”

nHo Sung Lee smoked his cigarette while looking at Anna.

nAnna looked at Ho Sung Lee with pity and shook her head.

n“Don’t kill him.”

nIn response to her hand gesture, the hunters began to use their fists.

nAt that moment…

nAs a result of the Aura that radiated from Ho Sung Lee’s body, the hunters bounced off and landed on their butts as soon as they threw a punch.

nHo Sung Lee put out his cigarette on the bar table and brushed himself off.

n“Let me repeat myself. This is top information. I suggest you report to him right now,” said Ho Sung Lee to Anna.

nAnna looked at her colleagues with a stiff face and looked back at Ho Sung Lee.

n“Your level was fabricated.”

nAnna caught on right away.

nThe same went for the hunters on the ground.

nAt that moment…

n“What’s going on here?”

nThe muscular man from within the guest room appeared with a grimace on his face.

nAnna whispered to him, and in response, the man scoffed and glared at Ho Sung Lee.

nHo Sung Lee looked at the man and pointed at the hunters who were wobbling back to their feet.

n“Isn’t it obvious?”

nOnce the man caught onto what happened, his face stiffened due to the confusion.

n“Call the head. I have information that he needs to know.”

n“Who are you?” The muscular man asked Ho Sung Lee with this guard up.

n“I told you. I came to make money,” said Ho Sung Lee calmly.

n***

nIn order to escort Min Sung to the meeting herself, Commander Ji Yoo Kim of Central Institute was waiting in front of his house with a driver.

nMin Sung came out of his house, and the driver opened the door for him.

nAs soon as he got into the car, he saw Commander Kim in a suit.

n“Why are you staring at me like that?”

nIn response, Ji Yoo Kim smiled.

n“Just because.”

n“Well, stop it,” said Min Sung while looking out the window.

n“Min Sung.”

nMin Sung looked back at her with knitted brows.

n“You know how impactful today’s meeting will be, right?”

nMin Sung smiled bitterly.

n“I don’t know. Is it that serious?”

n“I trust you,” said Ji Yoo Kim with a smile. Min Sung glanced at her and looked back at the window.

nIt was a winter day without a single cloud in sight.

n***

nThe black head of X-HIT, Leight, was on the sofa in a large white house talking on the phone.

nIt was clear from Leight’s face that he was very uncomfortable while speaking on the phone.

n“Who the hell is he?” Leight asked with frustration.

nWe don’t know who he is. His level is low, but his Aura is powerful. Should we take care of him here?

nLeight thought for a moment and clicked his tongue.

n“No, bring him here. Put Team A on him.”

nHe then hung up the phone.

n“He brought important information and came here to make money…?”

nLeight smiled.

n“But he fabricated his level?”

nLeight stared into the distance and smoked his cigar.

n***

nAnna took the steering wheel.

nHo Sung Lee sat in the passenger seat, and behind their car were cars that were ridden by the members of X-HIT.

nThey were there just in case something happened. During their carried, Anna glanced over at Min Sung and tilted her head out of confusion.

n“Who are you?”

nIn response, Ho Sung Lee smirked.

n“How many times do I have to tell you? I came here to make money.”

n“Fabricating your level is no easy task and very expensive. What’s your actual level? Actually…”

nAnna smiled bitterly and continued, “Maybe it’s more likely that you have no level at all.”

nShe was referring to the Miscellaneous type, and Ho Sung Lee didn’t refute her guess.

n“I don’t know why you came to X-HIT, but I suggest you don’t cause any trouble. It’s for the good of you as well as our future.”

n“How come?” Ho Sung Lee asked Anna.

n“Just know that X-HIT is more powerful than you may think.”

nHo Sung Lee laughed.

n“I’ll remember that.”

n“The government won’t protect the hunters. They’ll try to bring them down. And in order to prevent that, there needs to be a force. An organization that’s outside of the hunter association. And that organization will protect the hunters.”

n“But fights between hunters will only reduce the number of hunters, and I feel like the government would like the fact that there will be fewer hunters.”

n“In order to protect one thing, we must sacrifice another.”

n“Really?”

n“Yes.”

nHe didn’t agree very strongly, but there was no need to seem too negative about the drug hunter organization before meeting with the head.

nAfter 30 minutes, they arrived in front of a house.

nThe metal gates opened, and they entered the large yard.

nThe cars behind them also followed like Vienna sausages.

nThe yard of the house was vast, but since this wasn’t his first experience, Ho Sung Lee wasn’t even that surprised.

nHe simply wanted to meet the head of X-HIT.

nThe car stopped, and Anna got out first. Ho Sung Lee got out as well and looked behind him.

nHe saw hunters with unknown levels as well as high levels coming out of the other cars.

n‘They’re pretty strong’

nMiscellaneous types were rare in Korea, but they seemed to be common in X-HIT.

nHo Sung Lee didn’t have any detailed data about just how much force the higher-level hunters had as of yet.

n‘Ugh, I don’t know. I’m sure I’ll be fine.’

nWhat was done was done.

nIt was too late to ask questions, and if a fight broke out, he had to fight.

nSince he probably wouldn’t follow willingly, fighting was probably inevitable.

n‘It’ll take a while to bring him without killing him.’

nWhile Ho Sung Lee smoked a cigarette outside the car, Anna approached.

n“We need to check your item window. You have to leave everything here.”

nHo Sung Lee opened his item window.

nAnna possessed an expensive item that allowed her to check hunters’ item windows.

nShe told him to take out all of his weapons.

n“You’d better not take them. They’re precious.”

nAnna accepted Ho Sung Lee’s items without a response.

nSince the sword was almost impossible to find, Anna was surprised when she saw the weapon that Ho Sung Lee had.

n“This is all that I have. Are we good now? Can I go inside?” Ho Sung Lee asked.

nAfter putting Ho Sung Lee’s weapon away…

n“Follow me.”

n… She led the way.

nHo Sung Lee took off hi slight jacket and threw it into his item window. Unlike the cold winter, Brazil was quite hot.

nThey entered through the doors to the luxurious house.

nHe saw the luxurious floors.

n“Woof! Woof! Woof! Grrr!”

nAnd when he saw a hound on a leash, Ho Sung Lee flinched.

nThe hound looked like a dog, but it was actually a monster.

n‘What kind of hobby is raising monsters?’

n‘That’s horrible.’

nHo Sung Lee knitted his brows and continued to follow Anna inside.

nBehind Ho Sung Lee was the X-HIT hunters of Team A.

nSince the house was large, they walked the long corridors for a while before they reached the living room.

nHe saw a black man who was drinking cognac while looking out the window.

nA luxury t-shirt, a gold necklace, a gold bracelet, and lots of gold rings could be seen, and he was wearing a gold robe.

nHis style was vibrant.

nThe way Ho Sung Lee saw it, that was the head of X-HIT.
