nChapter 340: Chapter 340

nAs long as they realized it was Ho Sung Lee, it was hard for them to keep the same attitude they had going.

n“Let me warn you. If you try to run away, I’ll kill you. Only those who stay will live.”

nHo Sung Lee jolted his eyes wide open. He moved quickly and swung his fist.

nInside the large house.

nThe hunters that Ho Sung Lee was after were on their knees bound by rope.

nHo Sung Lee rubbed his head with a stressed face while rubbing his bald head and glaring at the hunter who was now the new boss.

nThe head of the organization, who took over X-HIT’s leader’s house, minded Ho Sung Lee and lowered his eyes.

nHo Sung Lee looked at the hunters with swollen faces and bodies and let out a deep sigh.

nHe tied them down to keep them under control, but just the thought of it gave him a headache.

nAfter securing evidence, the team from the association had to deal with the organization, but now that he was involved, things got a lot more complicated.

nEven if he was to get cussed out, he seriously wondered if he should report it to Min Sung Kang.

nAnd the decision Ho Sung Lee made was to take out his phone and call Min Sung.

nAs soon as he briefed him on the situation, Min Sung didn’t get angry like he worried.

nDon’t mess with them. Just leave them and get out.

n“But if rumors about me get out…”

nThe rumor’s already out.

n“I guess you’re right.”

nJust get out of there.

n“Yes, Sir.”

nHo Sung Lee hung up the phone and sighed.

nHe thought he would get scolded for not doing his job correctly, but he didn’t, so he felt relieved.

n“I should consider myself lucky.”

nHo Sung Lee then left the house.

nThe hunters were on their knees and tied up. They looked at each other in confusion, and as soon as they heard Ho Sung Lee leave through the front door, they immediately tried to free themselves.

n

nOnce Ho Sung Lee got out of the house, Ho Sung Lee picked a black sedan that he liked and started the engine.

nJust as he departed, his phone rang.

nIt was Commander Ji Yoo Kim.

nHo Sung Lee answered the phone while driving.

n“Yes, Commander Kim.”

nI have some news to tell you.

n“What is it?”

nThe hunters have been dispatched. They’ll give you additional information from now on.

n“That’s good. It was a little tricky trying to do this on my own.”

nI’ve already talked to Min Sung about it, so it should go smoothly from here.

n“Okay. But I’m in Rio, Brazil right now. When will the association’s hunter team arrive?”

n1 in the morning in Brazil’s time. That’s when it’ll begin.

nHo Sung Lee checked the time.

n“That’s not long. Okay, thank you.”

nGood luck, Ho Sung.

nThey ended the call.

nHo Sung Lee pressed down on his temples and fell deeply into thought.

nThe association’s hunter team would arrive in the middle of the night, but would they commit a corrupt act?

nHo Sung Lee laughed.

n“Unless they’re that gutsy, how could they…”

nHo Sung Lee stopped mumbling.

nThe rumor that the head of X-HIT got dragged away by him probably got out already.

nBut despite knowing that, the organization immediately took over the X-HIT head’s house, which means that human greed was not to be messed with, and the hunters of the association were probably no different.

nBoth the Brazil association’s hunters as well as the other association hunters who were set to come to Brazil would arrive at 1 in the morning.

nHo Sung Lee shook his head.

nThere was no way the association hunters would immediately commit corrupt acts.

nNo matter how much humans loved money, they weren’t that blatant.

nAfter all, there was Min Sung Kang.

nThat was what Ho Sung Leee thought.

nBut if they were to make a stupid decision, the price they would have to pay would be fatal.

nDu du du du du!

n6 helicopters landed on the ground.

nFrom 3 of the helicopters, hunters wearing protective equipment filed out.

nThey walked quickly with straight faces.

nThey were all hunters of high levels.

nThey got into the SUV that was prepared, and as the car took off, dust spread everywhere.

n

nHo Sung Lee, who got out of the hotel shower, checked the time and slowly got ready to head out.

nIn order to blend in with the nighttime, he put on black pants and t-shirt, and he finished it off with black shoes before sighing at his reflection in the mirror.

nBecause of his burnt off hair, it felt like his heart got ripped out.

n“Those assholes.”

nHo Sung Lee smoked his cigarette and put on a black beanie.

n“At least it looks good on me.”

nHo Sung Lee smiled at his reflection, and when he felt his phone vibrate, he took it out of his jacket.

nThe caller ID was unknown.

nHo Sung Lee peeked out of the curtains while answering his phone.

n“Hello?”

nHello, Mr. Lee. This is the team leader of the association.

n“What’s the matter?”

nWe heard that you had a confrontation with a PAC organization. Are you currently in Rio, Brazil?

nHo Sung Lee grimaced and grabbed his forehead.

nJust as he suspected, the association team heard word of his whereabouts.

nWhile he tried to come up with excuses…

nWe have something to tell you. Can you come to our department of operations?

n“What is this about?”

nIt’s a secret. But if you tell us where you are, we’ll send a car your way.

nHo Sung Lee checked the time.

nIt was currently 10 PM.

nThere was only 3 hours left until the mission began, but now there was some secret information?

nHo Sung Lee thought for a moment, but he came to the conclusion that if he backed out, he could end up looking suspicious.

nHo Sung Lee told him his current location, and they assured him that since they weren’t far, it wouldn’t take long.

nHe sat in the chair with a cup of coffee and looked out the window.

nBy the time he finished his cup of coffee, he saw a black SUV parked outside.

nHis phone vibrated.

nHo Sung Lee put out his cigarette and left the hotel.

nAs soon as he took the elevator and left the lobby, the door of the SUV was open, and one man was standing in front of it while saluting.

nHo Sung Lee glanced at him and got into the car.

nThe door closed, and he immediately returned to the driver’s seat and headed out.

nAfter lighting another cigarette, Ho Sung Lee lowered the window and exhaled the smoke before opening his mouth.

n“How long will it take?”

nIn response, the hunter, who was driving, immediately answered, “About 30 minutes.”

n“30 minutes? That’s different from the amount of time it took you to come here. Didn’t it take less than 10 minutes to get here?”

n“That’s because the main force immediately went to the department of operations while I came straight here.”

nHo Sung Lee knitted his brows and thought for a moment.

nThe fact that they immediately received word once they arrived in Rio, Brazil meant that someone from the association had a source.

n“The association’s hunter team was much slower than I expected. Is there a reason you were so late?” Ho Sung Lee asked.

nIn response…

n“I simply follow orders. If you go to the department of operations and ask yourself, you’ll hear the answer you want.”

nHo Sung Lee threw out his cigarette through the window and clicked his tongue.

n

/>

nScreech!

nThe SUV that Ho Sung Lee was in stopped.

nHo Sung Lee opened the door and got out.

nThe department of operations almost looked like a run-down factory, and for that reason, it was very large.

nInside the department of operations, there was a long table with lots of documents scattered all over it, and on the standing chalkboard was information regarding the hunters in the drug organizations.

nThe association team’s hunters, who were chatting nearby, later noticed Ho Sung Lee and saluted.

nHo Sung Lee nodded. He accepted their salute and walked over.

n“Who’s the team leader I talked to on the phone?” Ho Sung Lee asked while scanning the group of association team hunters of around 12.

n“He left for a moment. If you wait here…”

nWhile one hunter answered, he heard footsteps.

nWhen he turned around to the sound, a man was walking through the entrance that he entered through.

n“Ethan?”

nWhen Ho Sung Lee said that…

nSlash, slash, slash, slash, slash!

nA dozen swords stabbed through Ho Sung Lee in the back.

n“Cough!”

nHo Sung Lee coughed up blood, and at the same time, Ho Sung Lee broke the swords through his back with his hands and turned around.

nWhile the association team’s hunters looked at him in surprise, Ho Sung Lee moved his body as soon as he felt an Aura behind him, but it was too late.

nThat was because a gold magic square was shining up below his feet, and there was nowhere to hide.

nFlash!

nCrack!

nHis arms and legs stiffened due to the gold light.

nThis wasn’t Ethan’s vision skill.

nThere was no way Ehan’s vision skill alone could penetrate through Ho Sung Lee’s powerful magical resistance.

nHo Sung Lee looked around him while his body was frozen in place by the gold light.

nHe saw a group coming in through the entrance of the factory.

nBehind Ethan were the hunter leaders of each country including Russia, and they all had expressionless faces.

nHo Sung Lee smirked while staring at them.

n“These crazy bastards…”

nEthan leaped off of the ground. He reached Ho Sung Lee in no time and swung his fist.

nPow! Pow! Pow!

nEthan’s fist slammed into Ho Sung Lee’s rib cage and abdomen.

nAs a result of the powerful impact, Ho Sung Lee’s body slightly shook, and he coughed up thick blood.

n“Cough!”

nBlood spilled out of Ho Sung Lee’s mouth, but since his body was frozen by the magic square skill, he couldn’t collapse even if he wanted to.

nHo Sung Lee glared at Ethan with bloodshot eyes while blood dripped from his mouth, and he gritted his teeth.

nEthan grabbed a hold of Ho Sung Lee’s chin and smiled.
