The Late Game Healer Is Way Too Strong – Chapter 188

𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟏𝟖𝟖: 𝐄𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 2

“If you’re talking about the Hunter Min Siwoo. . .are you referring to the senior agent at the headquarters who recently handled the S-rank gate in Mongolia?”

“That is correct. We have recently received a number of reports on that hunter. Here is the evidence.”

Brandon, one of the HSIU executives, handed a USB to the moderator.

“This contains all the reports and suspicions of others, so please review them here.”

“I object.”

Edward raised his hand at that point and glared at Brandon.

“Right now, we are supposed to be discussing the president election. I don’t think the issue of Hunter Min Siwoo has anything to do with the election at the moment.”

“No, moderator. The hunter in question is one of Lord Blackwood’s strongest supporters. It’s hard to see how it’s not related.”

“What does it matter to me that another hunter supports me or that I’m running for president?”

Edward countered Brandon’s words in a rigid tone.

“How can we trust a president supported by a criminal?”

“Brandon, don’t make rash accusations.”

“Or what? Are you saying that Lord Blackwood is also worried that evidence will come out of that piece of evidence?”

“Listen here, Brandon! Be polite to Lord Blackwood!”

Soon, loud voices began to be exchanged between the forces supporting Edward and those supporting Cargill Juan over the round table conference room.

The people watching this spectacle from seats surrounding the round table like an auditorium were also agitated.

Bang, bang, bang!

The moderator, unable to bear it any longer, banged on the podium.

“Quiet! What is all this commotion about!”

The people shut their mouths with red faces and glared at the opposing camp.

“I have heard your opinions. First of all, we will verify the suspicions regarding Hunter Min Siwoo right now. However, let’s proceed with it as an urgent agenda item that I am proposing separately from the election. This is to show that the HSIU headquarters will not compromise with illegality.”

“But moderator, Hunter Min Siwoo is not present. . .”

Someone asked, pointing to the empty seat.

“Well, that’s not the fault of the absent person.”

As Cargill Juan quietly interjected, the moderator, who had been hesitating for a moment, nodded.

“Let’s check the materials first and share our opinions. We will give Hunter Min Siwoo a chance to speak as soon as he arrives.”

The moderator inserted the USB into the laptop and opened the files one by one, displaying them on a large screen.

Cargill Juan looked at Edward with a satisfied face.

‘𝘵𝘴𝘬 𝘵𝘴𝘬 𝘵𝘴𝘬. 𝘜𝘯𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘶𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘺, 𝘔𝘪𝘯 𝘚𝘪𝘸𝘰𝘰 𝘸𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘣𝘦 𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦. 𝘞𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘯𝘰 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘯𝘰 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘫𝘶𝘥𝘨𝘦 𝘪𝘵𝘴 𝘢𝘶𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘵𝘺, 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘷𝘢𝘭 𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘱𝘭𝘶𝘮𝘮𝘦𝘵.’

Min Siwoo will disappear before arriving at the airport to come here.

The truth will be revealed to the world and it will be known that he disappeared without a trace.

The materials that were opened one by one listed various speculations and suspicions about Min Siwoo.

Statement from Person A refuting his opinion that he fought the necromancer, the leader of the enemy forces, during the Nuremberg Ghoul attack.

Testimony from Person B that Min Siwoo embezzled the Awakener drugs obtained during ‘Operation Doberman’ in Incheon.

Eyewitness account from Person C that the artifacts that disappeared during the Reverse Gate in Berlin, Germany, are actually stored in Min Siwoo’s residence, etc.

In addition, there were opinions from anonymous scientists that the reason Min Siwoo is strong is because he takes Awakener drugs, and even suspicions that he is in cahoots with the demon race.

Furthermore, although the statements were somewhat vague, they included photos and videos, which made them slightly more credible.

“What do you think? The status that Hunter Min Siwoo has built up until now is nothing more than a fabricated myth.”

“Aren’t the photos and videos that are supposed to be evidence a bit difficult to discern?”

“However, they are statements made by different people in different incidents. If Hunter Min Siwoo is an innocent person, would there be such a variety of suspicions? We need to take disciplinary action immediately and investigate within the HSIU.”

“Isn’t it just suspicion? Refrain from making remarks that violate the principle of presumption of innocence.”

Executives, high-ranking agents, and semi-special agents each gave their opinions and struggled with how to handle this matter.

The so-called evidence is all flimsy.

However, since there are so many statements, they can’t just be ignored.

“Brandon, where did the information come from?”

Edward, who had been listening to the materials, asked with a colder expression than usual.

“That is. . .”

“I can’t tell you. The safety of the informant must be ensured so that we can continue to be a clean organization where internal whistleblowing can be done smoothly in the future.”

Brandon hesitated to answer, so Cargill Juan answered instead with a wry smile.

Edward glared at him for a moment before crossing his arms and falling silent again.

‘𝘌𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘪𝘧 𝘪𝘵’𝘴 𝘉𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘬𝘸𝘰𝘰𝘥, 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦’𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘥𝘰 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘯𝘰𝘸.’

It would be a little better if we could ask the person concerned directly and hear their explanation of the controversy, but Min Siwoo is absent.

Cargill Juan watched the situation, savoring the tea served in front of him.

The truth of the matter is irrelevant.

If it can stir up controversy, anything is fine.

‘𝘏𝘰𝘩𝘰𝘩𝘰. 𝘌𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘪𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘳𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘧𝘢𝘭𝘴𝘦, 𝘪𝘵 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘦 𝘵𝘰𝘰 𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘣𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘯.’

The HSIU headquarters will not do something like remove the appointed president from their position just because of such false testimony.

And who would demand the truth from the HSIU headquarters president?

All he has to do after becoming president is make a formal apology that ‘the information about Min Siwoo seems to have been fabricated by his anti-faction.’

However, there will be no public opinion that Edward, who was defeated, or Min Siwoo, who was framed, will bounce back.

“Lord Blackwood. As the person who recommended Min Siwoo, would you like to give an explanation?”

Edward glared at him with a cold, hard face.

The commotion in the hall subsided at Cargill Juan’s words.

This kind of political battle is a win-win situation.

If you win, all the dirty conspiracies that took place during the process will be blamed on the loser, and at that time, Edward or Min Siwoo will no longer exist within the HSIU.

“If Hunter Min Siwoo does not show up, shouldn’t someone take responsibility for this situation?”

“Cargill Juan. You sound as if Min Siwoo won’t be able to come.”

“There is always the possibility of an accident. He may have run away after finding out that his crimes have been discovered.”

Cargill Juan shrugged.

“Don’t worry. Hunter Min Siwoo will definitely come. Running away is not in his nature.”

“Hehehe. Lord Blackwood, you never know what will happen to people. Aren’t you being too confident━”

Thud.

At that moment, the entrance door opened and everyone’s gaze turned in that direction.

“Oh. . . I’m sorry I’m late?”

Siwoo apologized to the people with an awkward smile.

🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷

‘𝘋𝘢𝘮𝘮𝘪𝘵. . . 𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘥𝘪𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘯?!’

Cargill Juan cursed inwardly when even the insurance policy, the hitmen he had hired to prepare for an emergency, had failed.

He couldn’t control his expression at all.

‘𝘏𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘺, 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘴𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘢 𝘣*𝘵𝘤𝘩! 𝘈𝘴 𝘴𝘰𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘴 𝘐 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬, 𝘐’𝘮 𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘱𝘶𝘵 𝘢 𝘣𝘶𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘵 𝘪𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘥! 𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘴𝘰 𝘮𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘺 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴?!’

Last night, Cargill Juan had given a large amount of money to Harry and his group as soon as he saw the footage of Min Siwoo appearing at the airport.

It was more than three times the amount of the previous contract.

However, when he saw the assassination target enter the conference room alive and well, he felt like his blood was running backwards.

He couldn’t understand why the damn bastard was untouchable.

“Ah, Hunter Min Siwoo. You’re late.”

“I apologize. There was an obstacle on the way here.”

Siwoo answered and was guided to his seat.

“I’m sorry to ask this as soon as you arrive, but we were discussing an agenda item regarding the allegations of wrongdoing against Hunter Min Siwoo.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes. We will give you an opportunity to explain yourself.”

“Even if I explain myself, won’t you just assume I’m lying? You might as well bring in a ‘lie-detecting hunter.’ I will comply right here.”

They were skilled individuals who were incomparable to machines, and their main job was to interrogate criminals and testify in court.

A brief silence fell over the round table conference room at Siwoo’s confident words.

“Are you really okay with that?”

“Yes, it’s fine. But I also have an agenda item to propose.”

“What agenda item is that?”

“There is someone within the HSIU headquarters who instructed the killers to kill me. This is actually more of an exposé than an agenda item.”

“Wait!! Aren’t you just trying to muddy the waters?! Moderator, the investigation of Min Siwoo should come first!”

Cargill Juan shouted, interrupting Min Siwoo.

“What do you mean, muddy the waters?”

“Aren’t you just spouting other speculations now to cover up your own crime!”

“But I clearly said that I would prove it through a ‘lie-detecting hunter’?”

“T-That doesn’t mean you’re innocent!”

“I’m not guilty either. Do you have any evidence other than statements?”

Cargill Juan bit his lip at Siwoo’s words.

He had a strong desire to push harder here, but he shut his mouth because he might face a backlash if he made a mistake.

“An assassination attempt. . . Hunter Min Siwoo, if this content turns out to be false, it won’t end with a small reprimand. Is this certain?”

“It’s certain. I brought a USB with the evidence here.”

Siwoo handed the USB to the moderator and smiled faintly at Cargill Juan.

‘𝘕𝘰 𝘸𝘢𝘺. . . 𝘕𝘰, 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵’𝘴 𝘳𝘪𝘥𝘪𝘤𝘶𝘭𝘰𝘶𝘴. 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘯𝘰 𝘦𝘷𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘐 𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘵. 𝘏𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘺, 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘪𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘤𝘳𝘢𝘻𝘺 𝘣𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘥 𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘴 𝘮𝘺 𝘯𝘢𝘮𝘦, 𝘐 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘺 𝘪𝘵.’

He stared anxiously at the large screen.

It was too late to ignore Siwoo’s opinion, which was becoming increasingly distant.

If only he had not brought up the agenda item regarding Min Siwoo in the first place, but his presence was already too strong to be ignored.

Cargill Juan moistened his dry lips with water and pondered how to gloss over this content.

Soon, the contents of the USB appeared on the large screen.

The video, which began in a dark hotel room, quickly moved to the scene where three assassins attacked Siwoo.

━Who ordered you?

Siwoo’s voice came out of the video.

━By the way, there is no option not to answer. Should I make you squeal like a pig right now?

━Sorry, I’ll answer.

The assassin made a slightly troubled expression and then answered with difficulty.

━Cargill Juan. He asked me to do it.

━I see. Cargill Juan of the former HSIU president faction?

━Y-Yes.

“Now, wait a minute! Can’t something like that be filmed using hired street thugs?!”

Cargill Juan shouted indignantly.

“Please calm down. There is other evidence.”

Siwoo looked at the moderator.

The moderator looked slightly surprised and played the next video.

━This time, I will definitely kill that Min Siwoo guy.

━What is the desired compensation?

━Three times the previous amount.

━That’s not a small amount of money, is it. . .?

━Mr. Juan. If you give me that money, your seat as HSIU president will be as good as yours.

━Kukukuk. . . Kuhahahaha.

“Wh. . .what. . .!”

Cargill Juan jumped up from his seat.

He felt dizzy as if all the blood in his body was draining away.

“Son of a b*tch! This is a conspiracy!! Where and from whom did you get that material?!”

“I can’t tell you that. The safety of the informant must be ensured so that we can continue to be a clean organization where internal whistleblowing can be done smoothly in the future.”

Siwoo raised one corner of his mouth at Cargill Juan.
