Peueueueok!
This happened several times.
On the floor, there was a puddle of blood and gruesome flesh.
However, no one could stop Siwoo.
They couldn’t stop him.
The same was true of Seok Tae-ji and Yamato, who had followed him as supervisors.
“. . . . . . .”
“. . . . . . .”
Chu Ha-min was of the same A+ rank as them, but in terms of pure combat power, he could be said to be a stronger Hunter than them.
Who could stop someone who was playing with such a person like a child?
And they were both curious.
How strong was this Hunter of HSIU? Was the rumor that he had defeated Gert true?
“Ha.”
Siwoo got up from his seat and stepped on Chu Ha-min’s neck.
“Keu. . . . . . Geuk. . . . . . .”
Because he had used enough force, only a deflating sound of wind came out of his neck.
How was he going to deal with this guy?
“Would I be innocent even if I killed you?”
He had picked a fight with HSIU.
A Hunter’s attack is different from the criteria of self-defense that are generally applied.
Chu Ha-min’s expression darkened rapidly at Siwoo’s razor-sharp question.
It wasn’t simply because his opponent was strong.
Siwoo’s gaze.
Chu Ha-min met the cold, dry eyes of the one who was crushing his neck.
This interest is sincere.
This is the guy who will calmly walk away even if he breaks my neck in front of this huge crowd.
At that thought, sweat trickled down his back.
His Hunter life was long if it was long and short if it was short.
However, it was the first, no, the second time he had felt the fear of death from a human being, not a monster.
“I-I. . . Was, was reckless. . . Keueok. . .!”
“I feel like pulling out one of your limbs and throwing it as Orc food. But I have a healthy image these days.”
Siwoo looked down at Chu Ha-min with a razor-sharp expression.
It was like a predator was contemplating what to do with its freshly caught prey because it was full.
“Let me ask you something.”
“Wh, what do you. . . . . . mean?”
“Did you create your skill independently?”
“Oh, no. . . I-I, I learned it from my teacher.”
“Who is your teacher?”
Chu Ha-min shut his mouth and looked around.
It was difficult to understand the intention of this man’s question.
“3.”
“Yes?”
“2.”
“W-What?”
“1.”
“C-China!”
“. . .What about China?”
“ใBlack Waterใ’s leader. . . It’s Xiaolong.”

That afternoon.
A video was uploaded to the HSIU account.
The face was mosaicked and the voice was distorted, so it was unclear who it was, but people began to speculate about the Hunter who was turning into a blood clot.
โ๐๐๐ญ๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐ ๐๐จ๐ง๐๐ง: That’s f*cking White Lionโs Asura.
โ๐๐ฐ๐จ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ฆ๐๐ง: Damn, isn’t that Asura?
โ๐ -๐ซ๐๐ง๐ค ๐๐๐ญ๐๐ซ๐๐ง: โYou can’t see the skill or technique?? Eye degeneration?
โ๐๐ฎ๐ซ๐ข๐ฆ ๐๐ก๐๐จ๐ง๐ฆ๐: Even at a glance, it looks like a similar Hunter brought in to fight as Asura.
โ๐จ๐จ: โWhy the hell would they do that at hmcs
โ๐๐ฎ๐ง๐ญ๐๐ซ ๐๐ฎ๐ง๐ญ๐๐ซ: A friend of my friend’s girlfriend’s older brother went to hmcs education and had a match with Asura and the instructor there.
โ๐๐๐ง๐ค๐๐ซ ๐: โIf that’s the case, isn’t it just a stranger?
Like this, people commented on the video based on the information they had heard.
From the opinion that it was Asura to the opinion that it was manipulated by HSIU, or even a counter-comment that another guild had paid to undermine [๐๐ก๐ข๐ญ๐ ๐๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐๐ฎ๐ข๐ฅ๐].
Speculation and conjecture spread among people in no time.
However, the parties who should have been noisy were silent and did not say anything.
Baek Geon-ho, the Korean branch manager of HSIU, leisurely smelled the aroma of coffee.
It was the same coffee he always drank, but today it tasted even better.
As he took another sip, he heard a cough in front of him.
“Does the coffee not suit your taste?”
Baek Geon-ho asked his opponent with a smile. It was the relaxed smile of a winner.
“. . .It’s fine. Thank you for your concern.”
Choi Sung-il, the head of [๐๐ก๐ข๐ญ๐ ๐๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐๐ฎ๐ข๐ฅ๐], shook his head with a stiff face.
He tried not to show it as much as possible, but his face was filled with shame, a little humiliation, and an incomprehensible question.
“As you requested, I mosaicked and voice-distorted the video uploaded to Hunter Tube HSIUโs channel. We’re cracking down on internal leaks.”
“Thank you.”
Choi Sung-il nodded lightly and greeted him.
He had seen the unedited video through Baek Geon-ho.
Chu Ha-min lost.
Not a simple combat Hunter, but the assault leader of the [๐๐ก๐ข๐ญ๐ ๐๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐๐ฎ๐ข๐ฅ๐] and one of the guild’s top melee Hunters, ‘Asura’.
It’s not even low-level.
He was even A+ class.
‘๐๐ ๐ฅ๐ก๐๐ฎ๐๐ ๐ฌ๐๐ฉ๐ ๐จ๐ช๐๐ ๐ ๐๐ช๐ฃ๐ฉ๐๐ง ๐ก๐๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ฉ๐ค๐ฎ. [๐๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ซ๐: ๐๐จ๐ฅ๐ ๐๐ข๐ฏ๐๐ซ ๐๐ญ๐๐ฆ๐ฉ๐๐๐] ๐ฌ๐๐จ ๐ช๐จ๐๐, ๐๐ช๐ฉ ๐๐ ๐๐ค๐ช๐ก๐๐ฃ’๐ฉ ๐๐ซ๐๐ฃ ๐ข๐๐ ๐ ๐ ๐จ๐๐ง๐๐ฉ๐๐.’
Choi Sung-il had also received that technique.
He was one of the best tanks in South Korea, and he had trained his Hunters by sparring with them himself.
Choi Sung-il knew better than anyone what kind of technique Chu Ha-min’s was.
‘๐๐ฉ’๐จ ๐ฃ๐ค๐ฉ ๐ ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐ฃ๐๐ฆ๐ช๐ ๐ฉ๐๐๐ฉ ๐๐ซ๐๐ฃ ๐ ๐๐๐ฃ ๐๐๐ก๐ข๐ก๐ฎ ๐๐๐๐๐ฅ๐ฉ.’
Who the hell was that rookie HSIU Hunter?
“We’re blocking as many comments as possible that come up on our channel, but we’re adjusting it a bit because it’ll be obvious if we just delete everything.”
“That’s okay. I’ll have our guild staff guide the rest of the comments in a slightly different direction.”
“I see. I didn’t want to upload the video itself, but as you know, HSIU is just starting to grow.”
Baek Geon-ho shrugged his shoulders and smiled apologetically.
Choi Sung-il was relieved that he had blocked this much from Baek Geon-ho’s position.
If Chu Ha-min’s face had been revealed in the video, the stock price of [๐๐ก๐ข๐ญ๐ ๐๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐๐ฎ๐ข๐ฅ๐] would have plummeted, and the guilds below it would have torn [๐๐ก๐ข๐ญ๐ ๐๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐๐ฎ๐ข๐ฅ๐] apart.
‘๐๐๐จ, ๐ฉ๐๐๐จ ๐๐จ ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐๐๐จ๐ฉ. ๐ผ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐๐ฎ, ๐ฌ๐’๐ง๐ ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐ค๐ฃ๐๐จ ๐ฌ๐๐ค ๐ฅ๐ง๐ค๐ซ๐ค๐ ๐๐ ๐ฉ๐๐๐ข ๐๐๐ง๐จ๐ฉ. ๐ฝ๐๐จ๐๐๐๐จ, ๐๐ ๐๐ฉ’๐จ ๐๐๐๐, ๐ฌ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐จ๐ฃ’๐ฉ ๐ ๐๐ช๐๐ก๐, ๐๐ฉ’๐จ ๐๐ค๐ค๐.’
Choi Sung-il thought about the person in the video while touching the cold coffee cup.
‘๐๐๐ ๐ค๐ฉ๐๐๐ง ๐๐ช๐๐ก๐๐จ ๐๐ค๐ฃ’๐ฉ ๐ ๐ฃ๐ค๐ฌ ๐ข๐ช๐๐ ๐๐๐ค๐ช๐ฉ ๐๐๐ข ๐ฎ๐๐ฉ. ๐๐ ๐ฌ๐ ๐๐ค๐ช๐ก๐ ๐ช๐จ๐ ๐ฉ๐๐๐จ ๐๐จ ๐๐ฃ ๐๐ญ๐๐ช๐จ๐ ๐ฉ๐ค ๐ข๐๐ ๐ ๐ ๐๐ค๐ฃ๐ฃ๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ฃ ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐ง๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐๐ข ๐ฉ๐ค ๐ค๐ช๐ง ๐จ๐๐๐. . .?’
When he thought about it, he even thought that Chu Ha-min’s incident wasn’t a big problem.
“By the way, who is the Hunter who defeated Chu Ha-min?”
“Hmใ ก He’s our new dark horse. He’s a rookie, but he’s better than some veterans.”
“Is it possible to say hello for a moment? I feel like I’ve gotten into trouble because of us, so I’d like to apologize in person.”
Baek Geon-ho looked at Choi Sung-il.
It was a short moment, but his intentions seemed to be clearly visible.
“No, it’s not something that the Guild Leader of a guild should apologize for.”
“That’s okay. If our guild caused the damage, the Guild Leader might have to bow his head.”
However, Choi Sung-il did not back down even after Baek Geon-ho’s refusal.
If he could bring him in, he wouldn’t mind paying twice, no, five times the amount Chu Ha-min was receiving.
“Haha. That guy must be getting a lot of attention from this fight, so please take care of him. Wouldn’t he be nervous if the Guild Leader of a large guild asked to see him?”
An excuse that didn’t sound like an excuse.
However, it was difficult for Choi Sung-il to be more persistent.
“. . .Okay, if that’s the branch manager’s intention. Instead, will you allow Chu Ha-min to go and apologize?”
“Yes. Instead, the person concerned may refuse.”
Choi Sung-il shook hands in agreement and left the room.
