The Late Game Healer Is Way Too Strong – Chapter 262

“Heavens . . . !”

The politician’s wife gasped and fainted.

Not only had her husband died, but dozens of knife wounds protruded from his body, a gruesome sight that would drive any ordinary person who wasn’t a Hunter out of their mind.

Choi Dae-soo clenched his fist.

It wasn’t because the politician had died, nor because his wife had witnessed the gruesome scene.

He was clenching his fist because he didn’t know how to accept that his friend had become a mere murderer.

“Jin Do-wa. Turn yourself in. Even now, I will do whatever it takes to stand by your side and defend you.”

Instead of answering, Jin Do-wa silently took out a cigarette from his pocket and put it in his mouth.

It was the cheap cigarette that Choi Dae-soo always smoked.

“Dae-soo. I can’t go back to being a good person. I’ve done too many bad things.”

“No, you can come back. You know very well what happens when you fight against the ‘National Security Force.’”

“Yeah, I know. I do.”

“. . . . . . .”

Jin Do-wa shook the cigarette case, took out another cigarette and handed it to Choi Dae-soo.

Choi Dae-soo gritted his teeth and accepted the cigarette.

Click.

A flame was lit and thick cigarette smoke filled the room.

“Are you really going to make the government your enemy?”

“That’s a funny thing to say.”

“What’s funny about it?”

“I’m just trying to catch some bad guys, so why would that make the government my enemy?”

“. . .The company run by that chairman. It’s one of the pillars supporting our country right now. Many experts believe that if that company goes down, the Republic of Korea is finished. The huge donations they make and the investment support they give to the government. They’re indispensable.”

Choi Dae-soo brought up the ‘chairman’ in the rumors.

That didn’t make him feel any better.

Although merits and faults should be distinguished, can they really be separated as cleanly as cutting with a knife?

And if a situation arises where one must weigh the options, what should be prioritized?

“I heard that if that chairman catches the perpetrator of this ‘terrorism’, he will donate a huge sum of money to the Hunter Association. It will go towards the compensation for the families of Hunters that the government has been postponing day after day.”

“Whew~. That’s a good thing, isn’t it?”

“You run the [Red Wolves Guild], so you have lost many members as well. They will also receive a generous condolence payment.”

“If that’s the case, what about the half-demon girls in that ‘video’?”

“. . . . . . .”

Choi Dae-soo had no choice but to remain silent.

No, it would be more accurate to say that no other answer came to his mind other than silence.

“What about the kids? Are you really saying that this is in the national interest?”

“. . .It’s a kind of penalty. As you know, if you take them to court, they’ll just make all sorts of excuses and end up receiving a light punishment. In that case, it’s better to extort a huge donation, which will benefit hundreds or thousands of people.”

“So those who are rich and powerful can get away with committing crimes for the rest of their lives? They can just donate a few pennies and it will be all good?”

“I don’t mean it that way, as you know.”

Choi Dae-soo was feeling frustrated as well.

However, the law and emotions had to be separated, and moreover, his role was not as a judiciary but as a soldier following orders.

“Jin Do-wa. It’s not our role to judge. The ‘sword’ and the ‘gun’ don’t think. Thinking is done by the ‘hand’ that gives the orders.”

Jin Do-wa stubbed out the cigarette that had burned down to the filter.

“Yeah, it’s the ‘eyes’ that make mistakes, and the ‘hand’ that acts.”

“. . .Are you going to turn yourself in?”

“I will gouge out those hands and eyeballs with my sword.”

Jin Do-wa uttered chilling words.

The flashing lights of sirens approaching from afar illuminated Jin Do-wa’s face, turning it red and blue.

Police cars surrounded the house.

It seemed that someone living near the house had called the police after hearing the politician’s wife’s scream.

“Dae-soo, don’t end up like that guy.”

“. . . . . . .”

Choi Dae-soo was unable to catch Jin Do-wa.

He jumped out the window and disappeared into the darkness.

🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸

The next time the two met was when Jin Do-wa showed up to kill the ‘chairman’.

“Protect the chairman!!”

All of the [Red Wolves Guild] members following Jin Do-wa launched a surprise attack, and the mansion where the chairman was staying was guarded by hundreds of bodyguards he had hired and the best of the ‘National Security Force’ to prevent his assassination.

For the ‘National Security Force’, this operation was like their last stand.

If they failed to stop Jin Do-wa here and arrest him, the organization known as the ‘National Security Force’ would find it difficult to survive.

There was enormous pressure from political circles every day, and the media was desperate to find out the connections between the murdered politician, business leaders and media figures.

Of course, Choi Dae-soo was the only one who knew about their secrets.

As he fought the invading [Red Wolves Guild], he felt a sickening sense of deja vu from the video he hadn’t even watched.

‘𝘞𝘩𝘰 𝘢𝘮 𝘐 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘵𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨?’

He felt dirty.

However, his body continued to move diligently according to orders.

“Jin Do-wa! Where is that bastard! We have to catch the mastermind!”

The captain of the ‘National Security Force’ personally held a magic lantern and shouted, illuminating the dark surroundings.

Many of the [Red Wolves Guild] members were attempting to raid, but Jin Do-wa was nowhere to be seen among them.

Even if they caught everyone else, if they failed to catch Jin Do-wa, it was clear that the ‘chairman’ and the politicians would dismiss the captain.

“Did you call for me~?”

At that moment, a sharp blade pierced the captain’s jaw.

“. . .Keugh!!”

The captain, who coughed up blood, died on the spot.

A curly-haired man with his hair neatly tied back stood there, wearing a jet-black robe.

“I-Iit’s Jin Do-wa!!”

“Jin Do-wa is here!”

“Everyone gather here! The mastermind is here!”

People pointed at Jin Do-wa’s location and shouted.

“Oh, I was just trying to get a good night’s sleep.”

Jin Do-wa raised one side of his lips and leisurely put a cigarette holder in his mouth.

There was no sign of tension or a sense of crisis in his demeanor.

The chairman’s bodyguards and the ‘National Security Force’ surrounded Jin Do-wa in a thick circle.

“Drop your weapons and surrender!”

“I used to respect and admire you as a captain. . . but I’m disappointed, you criminal bastard!”

“Accept the punishment of the law!”

“Because of you, the ‘National Security Force’ is going to be disbanded! You serial killer bastard!!”

They aimed their items and offensive weapons at Jin Do-wa and spat out words mixed with resentment and anger.

Amidst the surging murderous intent, Jin Do-wa looked at the others one by one with dull eyes.

“Well, there are a lot of welcome faces here.”

“Do you know how much the ‘National Security Force’s image has been tarnished because of you, you damn murderer!?”

“If you were going to kill someone, you should have killed a criminal, why did you kill that politician and get us involved in this mess!?”

“Kekeke. Oh, comedy, comedy.”

Jin Do-wa shook his head and took out a white porcelain bottle from his pocket.

He changed the cigarette holder he was holding into a brush and continued speaking in a cheerful voice that he hadn’t used before.

“Now~, there will be a tasting of ‘National Security Force’ special interrogation officer Jin Do-wa. First, those who accepted bribes to protect politicians and those who took bribes.”

Jin Do-wa drew ink on the neck of the white porcelain bottle with his brush.

“What, what are you doing!”

“Hey!! What are you guys doing, not stopping Jin Do-wa!”

“Wait. . . What’s that on your neck. . .?!”

At that moment, people looked at each other and checked the red line drawn on their necks.

Some had nothing at all, but a few had clear lines drawn on them.

“What the hell is this!? Jin Do-wa!!”

Several furious people brandished their weapons and swung them at Jin Do-wa.

“Huh, where did he go?”

However, Jin Do-wa’s body had vanished in an instant.

“Let’s move on to the next one.”

A voice came from above.

People’s heads shot up.

Jin Do-wa, who was now sitting on the edge of the eaves of the four-story mansion, spoke with a smirk.

“Those who sucked up to the chairman and accepted bribes are also out.”

As if he were a grim reaper crossing out names written in the book of the dead, he drew a line on the bottle with his brush, and again, a red line appeared on people’s necks.

“There are surprisingly a lot of you.”

Jin Do-wa looked down at them and smiled faintly.

“You crazy bastard! What is this!?”

“Catch that damn bastard! What is the ‘National Security Force’ doing!?”

“Catch him and kill him right now!!”

Skills and items flew in from all directions, spreading towards Jin Do-wa.

Tatatatatatatatat!!

“Are you okay, Older brother?”

“I was late because I was dealing with the guys over there.”

Just then, members of the [Red Wolves Guild] appeared and completely neutralized the attacks on Jin Do-wa.

“You blocked even such a sloppy attack. Now, let’s ask the last question.”

Jin Do-wa unfolded his legs and stood up, his sharp eyes gleaming.

Unlike the playful expression he had shown until now, he had the face of an S-rank wanted criminal, his murderous intent blazing.

“Those who caught and killed innocent people are also out.”

As ink was drawn on the neck of the white porcelain bottle, red lines simultaneously appeared on the necks of countless people.

“I have made my judgment. All those who have a line drawn on their necks will have their limbs cut off.”

Jin Do-wa jumped off the edge of the eaves and landed gracefully in the middle of the enemy camp.

However, no one could thrust their swords at Jin Do-wa.

They gasped for breath, sweat dripping down their necks as they stared at the red lines that were etched on their necks like crimson letters.

“Now, it’s time. One, two, three-!!”

“Aaagh!!”

“S-Save me!!”

“Help me!! Help me!!”

As Jin Do-wa shouted the final three words loudly, countless people fell backwards in surprise, rolled on the ground or grabbed their necks and trembled.

However, nothing happened.

“Kehahahaha. Older brother, look at these idiots.”

“They think they’re like us, Older brother. Let’s go inside, Older brother.”

The members of the [Red Wolves Guild] chuckled at them and lined up towards the interior of the mansion.

“Jeez. Where in the world is there a skill like this? Even though they’re shaking like that, they still don’t know what they’ve done wrong. I’ll let you go, you idiots.”

Jin Do-wa put the cigarette holder in his mouth and glanced at the people with contempt before walking towards the mansion where the chairman was.

“Over there!!”

“You bastard! Die!”

“Now’s our chance! Catch him!!”

As soon as people realized that what Jin Do-wa had done was nothing but a joke, they turned their murderous intent towards him.

Phew.

He exhaled cigarette smoke into the air.

His right index finger rose to the neck of the ink-drawn bottle and flicked it.

Crack.

Dozens of necks were severed simultaneously, bobbing up like dumplings.

Pshhhhooooooooooo!!

The front yard of the mansion was instantly filled with an enormous amount of blood and corpses.

That day, Jin Do-wa made a new history of crime in South Korea by killing 237 people, including the chairman and the others present in the mansion.

And the one who blocked Jin Do-wa and the [Red Wolves Guild] as they left the mansion and killed the chairman was none other than Choi Dae-soo.

“I wondered why I didn’t see you at the ‘National Security Force’, Dae-soo.”

“I quit because it was dirty.”

“Good for you. So what are you now?”

“Now I’m just the Guild Leader of the [Limitless Guild] and a politician’s secretary. This is Do Kyung-hoo, who helps me, and my successor, Gi Il-lyeon.”

“I see.”

“Haven’t you killed all the people you need to kill?”

“Do you think those guys were the only bad guys?”

Jin Do-wa exhaled cigarette smoke, his expression bitter.

“I see. You won’t go down without a fight.”

“That’s for sure.”

“Then I’ll just have to shut up.”

Choi Dae-soo clenched his fist and summoned his magic power with all his might.
