Chapter 127: Chapter 127

***

Min Sung opened his eyes.

After getting used to the modern world, he began sleeping a lot more.

He did open his eyes at the slightest things, but since that didn’t happen, he was able to get a deep sleep.

Thanks to the good sleep, he was in the best condition.

Min Sung went to the living room and called Ho Sung Lee.

Yes, Sir.

“How did it go?”

We succeeded. Bowl delivered the message to Ji Yoo Kim. Wow, Bowl is impressive. He’s capable of a lot.

In response to Min Sung’s command, Bowl controlled an undead devil and successfully retrieved the pill.

Bowl’s ability to control devils was outstanding, and it was confirmed that his abilities were good enough to use in the future as well.

“I’ll go to the assembly soon. Get ready to go to the tower.”

Yes, Sir. I’ll see you…!

Min Sung hung up the phone. He made a cup of coffee and headed out to the garden.

The fall afternoon was clear with not a single cloud in sight.

Min Sung enjoyed the cool breeze as he had his cup of coffee before going to the assembly.

***

‘The number’s not right.’

The robed man looked down at the empty box with a stiff face.

He had prepared just enough for the number of hunters.

There was no way Samchunkyo made a mistake.

He watched the world hunters taking the sedatives.

Unless someone managed to steal a pill from the box, he didn’t understand how this could be.

“W-why isn’t there any left?”

The last hunter who had yet to take a pill stuttered in fear.

The robed man scanned the commanders with his eyes.

In response, the commanders avoided his gaze.

Tick-tock.

Time went by.

And then at the determined time, the last hunter who didn’t get a pill began bleeding out of his mouth.

“Ugh… G-give me the medicine. Please… Ugh!”

The hunters watched the dying hunter with shocked faces.

“I don’t know how they did it, but someone took a pill…”

The robed man scanned the room around him with a horrifying vibe.

“What you came down with after eating the item isn’t a simple poison. At this point, a poisonous bug has been born inside you. If you don’t take a sedative, that bug will begin eating you from the inside.”

The robed man laughed as he continued,

“Don’t be reassured just because you took a pill. The poisonous bug will continue to grow, and at that point, this medicine won’t cure you.”

The world hunters’ faces turned pale.

“I’m saying there’s no point in stealing this pill.”

The fear intimidated the hundreds of world hunters.

“Ugh!”

The hunter, who didn’t get a pill, fell on the ground and stopped breathing.

The world hunters quietly watched his still body.

“Why are you doing such a thing when you should all be working together to clear the Black Tower?”

At that moment, one world hunter screamed at the robed man.

The robed man looked at the screaming hunter and tilted his head.

“That’s how weak bastards like you think.”

In response, the world hunters clenched down on their teeth and groaned.

“Also.”

The robed man’s one eye sparkled.

At the same time, a blue Aura radiated from his sword.

“I never gave you permission to complain.”

The robed man then moved at high speed and struck the world hunter who screamed with his sword.

Slash!

The world hunter’s body divided into two and poured out blood.

Some blood sprayed onto the robed man’s face, but he didn’t wipe it off and stared at the other world hunters as if he was waiting for more complaints.

The world hunters were unable to breathe as they avoided his gaze.

The robed man used his knife.

That was a signal that control was about to begin.

***

Min Sung pressed 0 on the phone while dressed in a black training suit.

“Tell the pilot to come up.”

Yes, Sir. I’ll do that right away.

The lobby receptionist replied and the call ended.

Min Sung looked in the mirror to smooth out his outfit, and then he went up to the roof via elevator.

As soon as he arrived on the roof, he looked out on the spectacular view.

Woosh.

The wind made Min Sung’s training suit flutter.

Min Sung yawned loudly.

“I slept so much, but I’m still tired.”

While Min Sung rubbed his eyes, the pilot arrived.

“H-hello.”

The pilot greeted Min Sung with a shaking voice.

Min Sung looked back at the pilot.

“Start the helicopter.”

“Y-yes, Sir.”

The pilot quickly moved to the helicopter.

The propellers began spinning, causing strong winds to blow.

Min Sung put on his noise-canceling headphones.

“You don’t have to put on your hel… Oh, I guess I worried for nothing.”

The helicopter pilot smiled awkwardly and continued,

“Where’s your destination?”

“The Warp Gate.”

“The Warp Gate doesn’t have a landing pad yet…”

“I’ll just jump off.”

“Oh… Okay.”

The pilot was shocked, but he gulped and came to his senses.

“Then we’ll take off now.”

Min Sung nodded and the helicopter took off.

Du, du, du, du, du, du, du!

The helicopter headed over to the Warp Gate with a loud noise.

Not long afterward, the helicopter reached the Warp Gate area.

The helicopter was much faster than traveling using a car.

Once they were above the Warp Gate building, Min Sung took off his headphones and opened the door.

Clunk!

Strong winds blew into the helicopter, but the pilot did everything he could to keep the helicopter stable.

“Good work,” Min Sung remarked as he threw his body out of the door.

Thud!

Along with the sound of the door closing, Min Sung fell below.

Swoosh!

Although he was falling at a high speed, Min Sung’s posture was stable.

The helicopter pilot watched with a dropped jaw as Min Sung landed safely on the ground.

***

Min Sung went to New York through the Warp Gate.

As soon as he got out of the gate room, an employee greeted the VVIP, Min Sung.

Min Sung greeted him back and came out into the lobby.

As he passed the center of the lobby, someone came in through the revolving doors.

The robed man.

His robe had blood all over it.

When the robed man lifted his head and walked over, Min Sung knitted his brows.

The robed man’s gaze was fixed upon him.

Also, Min Sung sensed his gaze as unpleasant.

“Hey.”

He continued to stare at him.

Min Sung laughed and took off the hood that he was wearing.

With the flip of the hood, the robed man’s face revealed itself.

One eye was closed due to a battle scar.

And the other eye continued to stare at Min Sung.

“What are you staring at, Left Eye?”

Min Sung dryly asked.

The robed man looked Min Sung in the eye and then bowed his head.

“I apologize.”

Min Sung watched the robed man walked by with his head down.

***

Min Sung chewed a piece of gum as he left the building.

He saw Ho Sung Lee and Bowl obsessing over the cars.

“Let’s go.”

In response, Ho Sung Lee threw out his cigarette and turned around toward Min Sung.

“Did you have a comfortable trip, Sir?”

Ho Sung Lee bowed at 90 degrees.

“Masterrrrrr!”

Bowl ran over to Min Sung and danced with his hips swaying from side to side.

At that moment, Ho Sung Lee pointed at a black sports car.

“That’s the Leferrari Mostro. It hits its top speed in 2 seconds. Only VVIPs can ride this car. Thanks to you, I get to drive a car like this!”

Ho Sung Lee looked at the car with an excited face and expressed his awe.

“Stop making a fuss and get ready to go.”

As soon as Min Sung got in the back, Ho Sung Lee got into the driver’s seat and started the engine.

Vroom!

The ringing sound spread far.

“Oh, I also made it so that you can get your car and helicopter licenses as soon as possible. I found a private section so that you can do it in peace.”

“What about the helicopter at the Warp Gate?”

“It’ll take some time to make the landing pad.”

Min Sung nodded and Ho Sung Lee stepped on the gas pedal.

The tires spun in the same spot and the supercar took off.

Whoosh!

It was faster than any car that Ho Sung Lee drove before.

Since there was no traffic, they would probably arrive at the assembly in a very short time.

“Sir, I heard something. But it’s not good news.”

Ho Sung Lee drove as he continued,

“We secured a pill thanks to Bowl’s abilities, but the hunter who couldn’t take that pill died.”

“I thought there was a hunter who didn’t take a pill.”

“That was a lie. They just made one hunter into a scapegoat as if it was no big deal. Those sons of bitches…!”

Min Sung laughed out of absurdity.

“That’s not all. Developing our own sedative won’t solve the issue. Apparently, a poisonous bug is born when you eat the item. So unless it’s another pill that Samchunkyo developed, the old one won’t be effective.

Ho Sung Lee continued with a frustrated look on his face,

“Anyway, Samchunkyo got them good. Those idiots. No matter how desperate they were, how could they take a mysterious drug? On top of that, they even sacrificed a hunter so that the rest of them could live. It’s also a problem that there’s now an issue with your plan.”

Ho Sung Lee minded Min Sung since he was worried that he might get a little too emotional.

“That man who came from Samchunkyo.”

“Yes?”

“What does he look like?”

“Apparently, he always wears a robe and has one injured eye.”

“It’s that bastard.”

“Pardon? Who?”

“I saw him in the lobby of the Warp Gate.”

“You did? The Samchunkyo hunter?!”

“That’s right. Left Eye.”

Min Sung looked annoyed, which made Ho Sung Lee gulp.

“Samchunkyo… What are you going to do with them?”

“They’re bothersome, but both the world hunters and Samchunkyo are the same. It’s not like they’re getting in the way.”

However, Ho Sung Lee was certain.

That with Min Sung Kang’s personality, there was going to be a clash with Samchunkyo.

And if that happened…

He shivered at the thought of it.

His body shook with fear at the thought of what might happen at a very large scale.
