Hwang Jeong-gu hung his head low, engrossed in his thoughts.
He didnโt have the courage to raise his head.
It was him, after all, who had just grabbed the ‘mad dog’ by the neck not too long ago.
If the mad dog had been holding a knife. . .
‘๐๐ฎ ๐๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ฌ๐ค๐ช๐ก๐ ๐ฅ๐ง๐ค๐๐๐๐ก๐ฎ ๐๐๐ซ๐ ๐๐๐๐ฃ ๐จ๐๐ซ๐๐ง๐๐ ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ง๐ค๐ก๐ก๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ค๐ฃ ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐๐ก๐ค๐ค๐ง ๐๐ฎ ๐ฃ๐ค๐ฌ.’
Hwang Jeong-gu discreetly wiped the sweat from his palms on his buttocks.
Just facing him was enough to drain all his mental strength.
The ‘Mad Dog Siwoo’ he had encountered a whole decade ago.
However, his tales of bravery and his activities had reached the ears of Hwang Jeong-gu, who was merely a low-ranking member.
And finally, over a decade ago,
Three top-class Hunters were born, whom the 1st and 1.5th generation Hunters should not provoke.
Devoted Choi Dae-soo
Demon Sword Do Kyung-hoo
Mad Dog Siwoo
Hwang Jeong-gu, a 1.5th generation Hunter, had improved his skills by following in the footsteps of his many seniors in order to survive. However, Choi Dae-soo, Do Kyung-hoo, and Siwoo were in such powerful positions that he had never dared to speak to them.
Just once.
Hwang Jeong-gu had been badly injured during a raid.
An arrow had pierced his heart.
At the moment when everyone expected him to die and had given up on him,
Thud, thud.
Siwoo walked up slowly.
He grabbed the shaft of the arrow, placed his hand over the wound, and pulled the arrow out without hesitation.
Creak, the strange sound of flesh tearing as the arrowhead was pulled out.
Several Hunters grimaced at the crazy act.
They had expected blood to gush out and for him to die soon.
“Huh. . .?”
Light burst from Siwoo’s hand, and Hwang Jeong-gu’s wound healed instantly.
He had been given up on by the Healers in the party, and he had no good potions, so everyone had given up on him.
But in just 1 second,
The arrow was pulled out, and the healing spell was cast.
That was all.
Hwang Jeong-gu felt his wound.
He even had the illusion that it was in better condition than before the arrow had pierced it.
“Oh, th, th, thank. . . .”
“What’s your name?”
A curt and cold voice.
Siwoo asked in a voice as cold as his gaze.
“My n, n, name is Hwang Byung-gu! Th, thank you! S, Sir Hunter Siwoo.”
Siwoo patted Hwang Jeong-gu on the face.
It was an action that could have made him feel quite upset, but Hwang Jeong-gu didn’t feel that way.
He felt it was a friendly gesture, as if he were seeing a cute younger brother.
“Cheer up, rookie.”
And then Siwoo moved towards the giant monster, looking annoyed.
For Hwang Jeong-gu, that memory was the last time he had seen Siwoo up close.
Of course, he had witnessed Siwoo’s battles and fights with other Hunters a few times.
It was that devilish appearance that now made Hwang Jeong-gu tremble like a dog in front of Siwoo.
๐ท๐ท๐ท๐ท๐ท๐ท
Hwang Jeong-gu escorted Siwoo to his office, his waist bent in half.
“Jeong-gu.”
“Yes?? Y-Yes!!!!”
A reply that echoed loudly enough to blow away an entire floor.
“I canโt hear you.”
“Yes!!!! Oh, oh, I, I’m sorry.”
Hwang Jeong-gu bowed at a 90-degree angle to apologize.
It was a waist as neatly folded as that of a flip phone.

Only the two of them were in Hwang Jeong-gu’s private office now, while the other team members pretended to work, their ears perked up and their full attention on the office.
‘๐๐๐ค ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐๐๐ก๐ก ๐๐จ ๐ฉ๐๐๐ฉ ๐๐ช๐ฎ ๐ฉ๐๐๐ฉ ๐๐๐๐ข ๐๐๐๐๐๐ง ๐๐ฌ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ ๐๐ค๐ฃ๐-๐๐ช, ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐๐๐จ๐ฉ ๐๐ฃ ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐ฌ๐ค๐ง๐ก๐, ๐๐จ ๐๐ง๐ค๐ซ๐๐ก๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ฉ๐ค???’
Hwang Jeong-gu was a man who didn’t easily bow his head, even in front of the S-rank Hunter Lee Ye-ji.
He had the pride of being a 1.5th generation Hunter.
Moreover, he found the 2nd generation Hunters, who hadn’t experienced the early days of lawlessness, to be somewhat distasteful.
Lee Ye-ji and Choi Sung-il didn’t care about such things and quietly let it go, but it had almost led to a major conflict with Ryu Ji-hwan.
And yet, the man who had always proudly displayed his authority,
“I-I’m sorry!!!”
The loud voice echoed through the office, startling the HSIU team members.
They were dying of curiosity.
Who was this young newbie who was treating the world-renowned Hwang Jeong-gu like a low-ranking member?
“Jeong-gu.”
“Yes!!! S-Sir Hunter Siwoo.”
“Yes. You know my name.”
“Your a, a, appearance is e, exactly the s, s, same as b, b, back then. . .”
Hwang Jeong-gu raised his head and took another quick look at Siwoo’s face.
The face of Siwoo who had healed his wound over a decade ago was right before his eyes now.
