Chapter 170: A Son’s Mistake

#1

After the generation mashup many monsters roamed the cities of the earth destroying everything in sight and killing humans. Soon they were able to get rid of them and the people could finally relax and feel safe.

Thanks to Jaehwang who came to the rescue they were able to relax in the military bus. Of course they stuck around just in case he needed some help.

Everyone was watching Jaehwang in shock.

They’ve never seen a hunter like him. He was very powerful and he looked very young to them.

He showed up out of nowhere like a hero and saved them all.

“Over there is my son Caleb and that’s my daughter Jenni and next to her is my daughter-in-law Ally…”

The leader introduced him to everyone and Jaehwang nodded his head instead of answering with words. The daughter in law then came to him and handed him an orange juice.

“Thank you for helping us.”

“You don’t have to thank me.”

Jaehwang said as she received the orange juice.

He looked up into the air at the monsters flying up above.

They seemed to be very prepared with food, drinks and even a container was set for the monsters corpse.

The two kids seemed to be very talented even though they were just level 3 hunters.

The family tried their best to show their appreciation.

Their grandfather then asked him a few questions.

“What’s your name? I’m Seon. I’m their grandfather. Their father is wearing armoring but why aren’t you? Where is your weapon? Do you have to go get them? How are your eyes so piercing like that? You’re a handsome person.”

Jaehwang was silent for a moment not reallying knowing what to say or what question to answer first.

“Don’t worry mr. Seon. I can do this.”

Jaehwang assured.

“Grandpa everything’s going to be fine!”

The little boy, Timothy, shouted.

“I’m sorry.”

“No no, it’s okay.”

Jaehwang said.

“Anyway, did you say you were from New Port hunting area?”

“Yes.”

“Alright, we believe in you.”

Timothy took five small bags that were tied around his leg and gave them to Jaehwang. It was a bit of cash that he decided to give to him for helping them.

“It’s fine, you don’t have to.”

Jaehwang said shaking his head.

“Did you say you came from the Huntington Airport?”

“Yes.”

“I see. You’re gonna need this.”

She said handing him a few more dollars. He would need enough to take the bus.

The young boy sitting in the back seat of their military bus looked at the money in his hand.

“It’s okay, I’ll be fine.”

Jaehwang said denying the money again.

“We understand how you feel but don’t worry, we just want to thank you for helping our family. Hunting takes a lot of work so we want to show our gratitude. So please, take it.”

Although he still didn’t want to take it he decided to accept their gift.

“Great. We can’t thank you enough for helping us.”

The lady said as she bowed politely again.

“It’s my pleasure.”

Jaehwang replied.

He wasn’t the type of person who cared about money or material things but he decided to take it to be polite.

The little boy named timothy then got something out of his bag and handed it to Jaehwang.

It was chocolate from the shop Jaehwang and the spirit went to earlier that day.

Obviously the spirit was very happy with it as she smiled with sparkles in her eyes.

She then put the chocolate in her pocket and disappeared back into Jaehwang’s head.

Timothy then smiled seeing her so happy.

Before driving off the kid then said something.

“Dad, check the national guard.”

The kid said and Timothy tilted his head. Usually the policemen around the city didn’t check the national guard. The national guard hasn’t been used since so many monsters started to show up over time.

“It hasn’t been checked?”

“I don’t know. The hunters in the national guard should all be armed.”

His son said as he got onto the bus.

“You’re… huh?”

He said to Jaehwang who was also supposed to be on the bus but he could no longer see him. Suddenly after looking around for a few seconds he saw a line in the air.

“Are you there?”

“Yes.”

“Wow…”

Timothy said in surprise. He never saw a hiding skill like that before.

“Are you trying to avoid the hunter censor? There’s a secret space back there where you can hide. Can you help him find it, Allie.”

“Sure, dad.”

Allie then went towards the seats in the very back of the bus and showed Jaehwang all the space in the secret hiding area.

“Here’s a place for you to hide and avoid monsters. It’s a little stuffy in there right now but it will open up a bit more after the National guard inspection.”

“Thank you. But, are you sure this is okay?”

Jaehwang asked.

He wasn’t really afraid of the sensor but he didn’t want to anger their grandpa by not getting his permission first.

“It’s okay, but you could ask him.”

“Okay.”

Jaehwang replied and moved towards the front seat of the car to find him.

The military bus then made a quick stop in front of the valley gate. Timothy then asked the soldiers around,

“What’s going on?”

“The code is MH9. Can we see your hunter license and driver’s license please.”

“Here you go.”

The guy then shook his head and handed back his stuff letting them pass through.

Jiijjii

The door of the military bus then opened and the rest of the soldiers came onto the bus.

One of the soldiers then shouted from the back of the bus,

“Wow, there’s five monsters?”

The face of the driver of the bus then turned red as he shouted,

“What, is that too difficult?!”

Although they were only third tier monsters they were much bigger than usual.

“Don’t annoy me!”

Timothy shouted.

“We are currently going through inspection.”

The hunter in the passenger seat alerted.

“Good.”

Then Timothy looked at the back of the bus and noticed the other hunters talking quietly to each other.

“Did someone die?”

“I heard that about 18 people died.”

“Wow…”

He exclaimed in surprise as he heard that 18 people had died.

Goosebumps began to show up on his arm just thinking about how dangerous their mission was about to be.

“I…”

A hunter from the back seat whispered.

“What is it?”

“Someone who’s not on our side, the Bileon perhaps, is actually on this bus with us.”

A Son’s Mistake, The end.
