Chapter 126: Chapter 126

The next morning.

The world hunters including those of America received a message telling everyone to gather at the assembly.

The sender was Samchunkyo.

Since they had no choice but to obey if they wanted sedatives, the hunters gathered at the specified time.

As soon as hundreds of world hunters arrived at the assembly, the sound of a sports car could be heard.

The world hunters showed nervousness, rage, and fear in their eyes as they waited for Samchunkyo’s hunter to arrive.

A moment later, a red sports car parked in front of the assembly.

And from the driver’s seat, the robed man got out holding a bag of documents.

When the robed man looked around, the hunters avoided his gaze.

The robed man slammed his door shut and walked toward the meeting tent.

The commanders followed behind him.

As soon as the robed man sat down, so did the commanders.

While the hunters watched on, the robed man took off his hood.

The commanders flinched at the robed man’s face.

He was missing an eye.

And the other eye showed a large scar.

On top of that, the only eye he had was fierce and cold.

The robed man then put down a sword on the table.

Thud!

The sound of the slam made all the commanders’ hearts sink to the ground.

“Did you come to an agreement?”

The robed man asked in a low voice.

The commanders all nodded to the robed man.

The robed man glared coldly.

“Don’t just nod like retards and respond to me with words.”

The robed man’s voice was still low, but it was loud enough for all the commanders to be scared.

“Sir!”

The commanders all changed at the same time out of nervousness.

As they all minded each other, the robed man got up and grabbed the handle of the sword.

The hunters’ eyes followed the sword in the robed man’s hand.

Thud!

The sword’s blade rammed into the table.

After feeling the vibration of the table, the commanders gulped.

“You probably thought that if you dragged enough time, you could pick a scapegoat and analyze the sedative to make it yourself.”

The commanders grew even tenser.

“You probably want the sedative as soon as possible so that you can figure it out quickly.”

The commanders dripped in sweat after realizing they were found out.

“Do you really think I wouldn’t have found out such a childish scheme?”

The robed man took the sword and slowly cut through the table.

Slash!

Despite the sword only cutting through wood, the sound made the commanders shiver.

“We’d only take the sedative in front of you, so how could we take one to analyze? Please don’t suspect us for such a thing.”

In response to the commander, the robed man scanned each and one of their faces.

***

While Samchunkyo’s man and the world hunters were gathered in the meeting room, Ji Yoo Kim acted secretly.

The world hunters were all over the assembly. There was no way the sedatives were in the car he came in.

It had to be nearby.

Somewhere not too far from the assembly.

The world hunters had to take the sedative within today in order to avoid death.

And Samchunkyo needed these hunters in order to carry out their plans.

So there was no way they would let the hunters die so easily.

Ji Yoo Kim dispatched her people in order to find the sedative.

***

The world hunters felt as if their insides were burning up.

It was agreed that once Ji Yoo Kim secured the sedative, she would give the hunters a sign.

However, there was no sign to be seen.

The world hunters were minding the robed man, who looked as if he was going to kill them, while they also waited for Ji Yoo Kim to secure the sedative.

“There’s something off about your faces.”

The robed man scanned all of the commanders’ faces with the sword against his shoulder.

The commanders were desperately waiting for the news while the robed man was catching on that something was up.

***

‘Where is it…?’

There wasn’t much time.

She continued to search, but the item in question was nowhere to be seen.

Ji Yoo Kim grabbed her aching head.

But that moment, she got an idea.

Since there’s no way he hid it anywhere far…

‘Is it in the ground?’

The thought made her heart flutter.

If she didn’t find the sedative, Samchunkyo was going to own the lives of the world hunters forever.

This was her last chance!

However, if they did hide it in the ground, it was impossible to dig it up without getting caught.

Ji Yoo Kim grimaced and looked toward the assembly.

***

The world hunters resigned.

It was time for them to eat the sedative, but they hadn’t received word that it was found.

If that was the case, that meant it was all over.

After checking his watch, the robed man took out documents from his bag.

It was a contract.

A contract agreeing for the Samchunkyo hunters to replace the positions of the commanders.

The magical contract, which took effect as soon as they stamped it, made the commanders feel burdened with responsibility.

A document was placed in front of every commander.

There was no more time to waste.

The only way they could avoid a poison-induced death was to receive the sedative.

Even if Ji Yoo Kim found the sedative, they had no choice but to sign the contract.

The problem was that Ji Yoo Kim had to secure the item before the robed man took out the pills.

The unfortunate circumstance made the commanders feel devasted.

The commanders held the contract with shaking hands.

***

Ji Yoo Kim was frustrated.

She used all of her men at Central Institute to find it, but it was nowhere to be found.

If they really did bury it as predicted, it was almost impossible to retrieve.

After all, it didn’t make sense to steal sedatives from a Samchunkyo hunter, who was more powerful than anyone.

Ji Yoo Kim plopped down with no energy.

The Central Institute hunters watched Ji Yoo Kim with sad eyes.

At that moment.

Footsteps could be heard.

The footsteps were so perfectly rhythmic that it couldn’t have been human.

“Huh…!?”

“Aghhh!”

“You startled me!”

“What was that?”

Her surroundings felt disturbed.

So she looked around to see where the sound was coming from.

Someone was walking toward where the Central Institue hunters were gathered.

The magical Lich doll.

Bowl.

Ji Yoo Kim stared at Bowl blankly.

Bowl wobbled over in a cute suit and looked up at Ji Yoo Kim.

“… You,” Ji Yoo Kim muttered looking down at Bowl.

“I was told to find this and give it to you.”

Bowl took out a sedative pill from his jacket and handed it over.

Ji Yoo Kim flinched.

“H-how did you find this?”

“It was in the ground. I dug it up and brought only one for you.”

She looked at the pill in Bowl’s hand in shock.

She then teared up.

“Is it okay if I take this?”

“Of course. My master said you could.”

Ji Yoo Kim looked around.

“He’s not here.”

She laughed and smiled.

“You came alone?”

“No. I came with the son of a bitch.”

Ji Yoo Kim was taken aback.

“Who are you calling a son of a bitch? You little skeleton?”

Ho Sung Lee showed up smiling.

Ji Yoo Kim nodded at Ho Sung Lee and turned toward Bowl.

“Tell him I said thank you. And thank you to you as well,” Ji Yoo Kim expressed her gratitude as she accepted the item.

In response, Bowl snickered with his head tilted back.

***

The world hunters signed the contract.

Once the robed man collected the contracts and put them in his bag, he picked up his sword and got up.

“Someone from Samchunkyo will come soon. Prepare to welcome them.”

He then walked toward the center where the world hunters were standing and paused.

The robed man looked around him coldly which made the world hunters take a step back.

The robed man lifted his sword above his head.

The sword began to gather a strong force all around it.

The robed man then struck the ground with his sword.

Thudddddd!

The ground of the assembly cracked, making dirt and rocks fly out in all directions.

A big hole formed.

Inside the big hole was a clean box.

The robed man went down into the hole and threw the box out of it.

Thud!

The heavy box landed on the ground.

The robed man climbed back out and opened the lid.

Rattle!

As soon as the lid opened, a bunch of pills could be seen.

The sedatives that would calm down their poison symptoms.

When the robed man gestured with his chin, the commanders lined up in order to take the sedative.

At that moment, the expression on the commanders’ faces changed.

The reason was because Ji Yoo Kim signaled that she found the pill.

The commanders minded the robed man and tried to hide their faces.

She found the pill.

It was just a matter of time before the contents were analyzed.

It wasn’t going to take long.

However, the problem was that they had already passed over the commander positions to Samchunkyo.

But it was already done and over with.

This meant that Min Sung had to face off against Samchunkyo in order to keep the world hunters alive and reclaim their positions.
