━No. . . . But, aren’t your words a bit too harsh?
When Siwoo’s expression became slightly excessive, someone said disapprovingly.
Even though they were ostensibly the representatives of a country, it was upsetting to hear such harsh language from him.
“Do you think so? Then what should I do?”
━That. . . . We are the president of a country. . . . Isn’t it a bit much to use the expression crazy. . . .
“Then go fight them yourself. The position of president must be great. Go ahead.”
Siwoo replied, even gesturing for him to leave with his hand.
━That. . . .!!
“What? Or are you going to present a solution?”
━. . . No.
The other party was about to burst out in anger, but quickly realized his own position and shut his mouth, grumbling.
In normal circumstances, the president wouldn’t have been pushed back like this, but with the current situation of facing the demon race’s surprise attack, the power of strong Hunters was more valuable than anything else.
Furthermore, Siwoo wasn’t just an ordinary Hunter.
The world’s rank 0 top ranker, and an HSIU special agent.
Even the ‘Misteltein’ was now taking a step back from him, so it was safe to say that there was no one who could act recklessly towards Siwoo.
They may have been the heads of the internationally renowned G20 nations, but the recent exchange had shown just how different their positions were from Siwoo’s.
━Special Agent Min Siwoo. I invited you here because I wanted to hear your opinion on what we should do in the future.
Edward stepped in at the right time and shifted the focus of the conversation.
“If I tell you what to do, will you do it?”
Siwoo asked.
The presidents and prime ministers glanced at each other.
They couldn’t just blindly follow Siwoo’s words, but they also couldn’t ignore them. They were in a difficult position.
They looked around, hoping that someone else would speak first.
Just as they were waiting like that, the Russian president asked Siwoo a question.
━If you make an unreasonable demand, are we supposed to follow that as well? If you insist that we send all Hunters to the battlefield, are we supposed to follow that as well?
In truth, Russia, the world’s second in military strength, didn’t like the idea of conscription or the damage they would suffer from going to war for Latin America.
If they did, only their own Hunters would end up dying, and if the demon race came to Russia later, they would have no way of responding.
Who would take responsibility for that?
The Russian president thought that other countries being invaded was something they brought upon themselves.
They should have strengthened their defenses and trained more Hunters in the past.
He didn’t understand why other countries should have to clean up their mess.
Siwoo looked at the Russian president quietly.
“Of course you have to follow my orders. Do you have any other thoughts?”
━If we reject your instructions or orders, and decide to do as we wish, why should we have to send our country’s Hunters and soldiers to fight? I don’t really understand.
“That’s what you’re thinking. Why should you sacrifice your country’s Hunters for a war that broke out in another country? Like that?”
━That seems to be the right answer. Sacrifices require compensation, so what can the Latin American countries promise to the participating nations? Resources? War reparations?
“I see. Then let’s agree that those who want to act separately can do as they wish.”
━What. . . ! Huh?
The Russian president was about to retort instinctively, but then his eyes opened wide at Siwoo’s words.
━Is. . . . That okay?
“Yes, of course. Why not?”
The ones most surprised by that statement were the heads of the neighboring countries to Latin America, which was currently occupied by the demon race.
They looked at Siwoo and the Russian president in turn with faces full of confusion.
They never thought that the current top Hunter would make such a statement.
The leaders of nations with strong militaries, such as the Russian president, the Chinese chairman, and the American president, stared at Siwoo with slightly trembling faces.
If Siwoo had intended to fight the demon race or confront them, it would not have been the right approach to provoke them like this.
Even if he had just lowered his head and asked for the support of Hunters from each country, it would have been lacking.
━Will you take responsibility for those words?
The Russian president asked him once more to confirm.
His gaze was as sharp and persistent as a hawk hunting its prey.
Siwoo smiled at him and replied.
“Of course. I will stake my entire Hunter life and my position as an HSIU special agent on it. Those who don’t follow my orders can do as they wish.”
━Yes, I understand. Then Russia will act separately. Honestly, I don’t want to waste the blood of young Russians on another country’s war.
The Russian president replied with a face that showed he was very satisfied.
“Understood. What about the others?”
━W-We also want to focus on defending our own country, so we will also withdraw.
━We will do the same.
━Wait! If everyone withdraws, does that mean you’re giving up on Latin America?
━Well, they should have prepared for their defense beforehand.
━That’s right. Ask for help when you can properly pay the price.
As soon as Siwoo finished speaking, the developed countries that had nothing to lose declared their non-participation.
━No, Hunter Min Siwoo! How can you say such things?
━Are you saying that even you, Hunter-nim, are only going to look after your own country?
━President Edward, what is going on?
Siwoo observed their reactions calmly before speaking again.
“Don’t worry. Other than the countries that just declared their non-participation, the other countries will definitely be protected by me and ‘Misteltein’.”
━What do you mean by that! ‘Misteltein’ isn’t under your command!
━That’s right! Some of them are from our country! We will take them with us!
The explosive statement was met with loud voices of protest.
However, Siwoo calmly listened to the accusations without reacting.
The leaders, who had been making a fuss for a while, gradually lowered their voices and revealed only their flushed faces when they saw that Siwoo wasn’t reacting at all.
“Have you all finished talking?”
Siwoo said to the video conference that had gone quiet.
━Your words have been too harsh ever since earlier. . . !
“Shut up.”
Siwoo glared at the president who had opened his mouth, his gaze icy cold.
“You want the benefits without taking any responsibility?”
He leaned his head on his crossed arms, his expression twisted.
The people hesitated at Siwoo’s clearly changed attitude.
Everyone shut their mouths and just looked at his distorted face, waiting to hear what he would say.
Siwoo looked at the expressions of the leaders one by one before speaking again.
“Weren’t you the ones who said you wouldn’t help other countries to protect your own? And in the first place, ‘Misteltein’ doesn’t belong to any country, according to international law, so what does it matter?”
━But. . . . Then shouldn’t you protect all countries equally? They’re not your subordinates. . . .
“Today, every single member of ‘Misteltein’ pledged to obey my orders. Therefore, I will be in charge of their recruitment and management from today onwards. Does that solve the problem?”
━Are you saying that you made such an important decision on your own. . . . without even consulting us?
“Should I have discussed it with you? What right do you have?”
In truth, ‘Misteltein’ and HSIU were special international organizations that couldn’t be interfered with by the leaders of each country.
“Are you saying that you’re going to stand by the window with a fire extinguisher while the house next door is on fire and just watch until the fire reaches your own house? Then when the fire spreads, you’re going to tell us to put it out ourselves.”
━Isn’t the current situation different?
“It looks the same to me. I have no intention of saving people like that. My priority is the safety of the house that’s on fire, the people who ran out to put out the fire, and their houses.”
Siwoo addressed them in a very firm and clear tone.
━That’s not fair! ‘Misteltein’, HSIU, the Hunter Association, they’re all organizations for the safety of people around the world. . . !
The Russian president argued in an excited tone.
“Didn’t you say it yourself? Sacrifices require compensation.”
━That, that. . . .
“What will Russia offer in exchange for our sacrifice? Resources? War reparations? Why should ‘Misteltein’, HSIU, and the Hunter Association shed their blood for another country’s war?”
Siwoo glared at him, his aura turning icy.
The Russian president felt a chill run down his spine from Siwoo’s energy, which he could feel even through the screen.
“Do you want help? Give me all your troops. And don’t spare any support or supplies. Those who don’t do that should just hope to survive on their own.”
━Wait! This isn’t some kind of child’s play. . . . We need to prepare for terrorism as well, all of them?
Siwoo twisted his lips at the prime minister who had just spoken.
“Don’t be ridiculous.”
━Wha, what?!
“This isn’t child’s play or terrorism. It’s World War 3.”
For a moment, everyone’s mouths were shut as if they had been filled with honey.
No one had thought of the current situation in that way.
Perhaps it was only then that the gravity of the situation that Siwoo had defined really hit them, as the faces of the leaders darkened rapidly.
Perhaps it was all the more so because they had all secretly hoped that ‘it wouldn’t be that serious of an issue’.
Siwoo clicked his tongue and opened his mouth, his gaze as sharp as ever.
“Now that you understand, shut up and follow my orders. What are you going to do?”
🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸
The stronghold of the demon race established in Colombia.
Under Kraken’s orders, countless members of the demon race had been deployed in every city from Chile to Venezuela, and they had entered a special surveillance system.
━Do as you wish, but don’t just kill them indiscriminately.
That was the order he had given, not to protect humans, but because they would need slaves when the demons came to rule.
Even if the Demon King came to rule, humans would still live the same way they did now.
However, the plan was to divide them into a caste system like the caste system, with those who served the Demon King and the demon race at the top, and those who resisted fiercely would be killed or sent to the lowest level.
A system where humans didn’t fight against the demon race, but where humans divided into castes kept watch over and distrusted each other.
Kraken had a thorough understanding of human psychology and knew how to handle the lower classes.
“Supreme Commander. There are humans here to see you.”
At that moment, one of Kraken’s subordinates entered his tent and reported to him.
“Let them in.”
A moment later, several men who looked like they had been through hell entered the tent.
They were wearing torn suits, and there were bloody gashes all over their bodies.
“Who are you?”
“Y-Yes! We are diplomats sent by the Brazilian government. We have come to meet the person in charge here.”
“I am the Supreme Commander.”
“Ah. . . . Excuse me!”
The men hurriedly bowed to Kraken.
“Tell me your business.”
“Yes. . . . President Brazil said that he would cooperate fully with the demons and send money and jewels.”
The man who seemed to be the representative pointed to the bag he had brought, and Kraken’s subordinate brought the bag to Kraken.
“Cooperation, you say. How much money is there?”
“In US dollars, it seems to be about 10 million dollars. I heard that the jewels are worth 5 million dollars if they were converted into cash.”
“Hmm.”
Kraken opened the bag to check the money and jewels.
He then took a handful of jewels and approached the man.
“What we want isn’t cooperation.”
“T-Then what do you want. . . . Ugh!! Ughhh!”
Kraken stuffed the jewels into the man’s mouth and slowly crushed his jaw and chin with both hands.
Kwa-thud!
Blood gushed out of the man’s mouth, nose, and eyes, and his head was crushed like a tomato.
He glared at the other diplomats with his bloodstained hands and shouted in a voice like scraping metal.
“All we want is conquest and slaughter!! Kill them!!”
