Hoarding in Hell Novel

Chapter 279 Whispering Star (2)

“You’re my brother, but you don’t even say hello, so why are you avoiding me like that?”

Seo-yeon Lee looked at Hyunmoo with a displeased expression.

“I would be very happy to find out that one of the members of the star family that I used to kill and kill is my sister.”

“What, you haven’t told me yet?”

“Do you need to?”

Seo-yeon Lee said while shrugging her shoulders.

“Jitae is a good little brother who listens well. It would be nice if you stayed like that forever.”

“It seems that there is one person in the family who should not be stained.”

Seo-yeon Lee approached her with her arms crossed. She was pretending to be calm, but her nervous expression was getting weaker.

“First of all, I would like to express my gratitude. It’s not the best result, but it’s still a suboptimal result. Lin Hui-min was the target of Helen’s purge. This will raise my position. .”

Seo-yeon Lee said with a bitter smile.

“The problem was that the Chinese were too strong in the power of the starving stars. This will divide the power a bit. If we are lucky, we will be able to strengthen the faction of Taeseong.”

“It’s easy.”

“Yeah. The disappearance of the castle tower like this is a loss as a whole, but well. The 3rd and 4th towers can appear at any time. What’s important right now is not my gain. And I’ve succeeded in another quest this time.”

Seo-yeon Lee looked pretty good even in a tense state.

Hyunmoo couldn’t figure out why Seoyeon Lee was reporting these things to him.

Are you even proud of it?

Yes, she has done very little. It’s just that Hyunmoo and Yu-min were beaten by what they did.

Then Hyunmoo pondered it and came up with an absurd idea.

“Are you reporting that you are working hard right now?”

“…You make your expression so miserable. Yeah. Can’t you? It’s your duty to me to establish a position in the Starving Star, isn’t it?”

mission

She showed little apparent loyalty to Lee Seo-yeon to the starving star.

Maybe that’s why she’s all gathered for profit anyway.

Or there are other reasons.

“I’m just saying, the connection between me and Lee Ji-tae is also quite useful. Do you know what that means? It means that you know useful information about the alliance. If you think that you are my only friend, you are a big mistake…”

“Now, I’m more curious about you than that.”

The moment Lee Seo-yeon looked at her with a puzzled gaze, Hyunmoo grabbed her hand.

It was the hand that I smashed when I killed the Starving Apostles at Muan International Airport a while ago.

At that time, Seo-yeon Lee’s hand was damaged to the extent that it could not be repaired by her surgery as well as potions.

But now her right hand was intact enough to swing a mace.

“What, can I just grab another girl’s hand like that in front of her girlfriend?”

Hyunmoo pulled off her glove that was wrapping her right hand around Seo-yeon Lee’s.

Lee Seo-yeon flinched, but she couldn’t resist.

Her right hand was black as obsidian. It wasn’t as broken as Hyunmoo was.

Only after Hyunmoo checked her statue-clean black hands, Seo-yeon Lee was able to get her hands out of her sudden.

“It’s just like Yumin said. That hand, it looks like an item, where did you get it?”

“…a hand from a starving star. Why?”

“Oh yeah.”

Hyunmoo didn’t ask any more.

She didn’t even have to check the truth. Because I already knew where it came from.The question was, why does Seo-yeon Lee have that hand?

But Hyunmoo waved his hand.

“Okay, go back. I don’t want to worry about you anymore.”

Lee Seo-yeon’s face was distorted by her humiliating treatment. But she didn’t like her and she had a long relationship with Kang Hyunmoo.

All she had to do now was take her achievements and return her to Helen.

At least Helen wouldn’t treat her like Kang Hyunmoo.

As if she was taking turns with Seo-yeon Lee, the next person appeared immediately.

Thanks to Lee Ji-tae, he was bald who survived.

“… Hunter Kang Hyunmoo.”

“Welcome, bald. No, did I say Ivan Cherenkov?”

Ivan nodded his head.

Hyunmoo looked towards his severed arm.

The broken knee healed with the potion, but it took too long to attach his severed arm. Now, it will be difficult for him to work as a hunter again.

But it didn’t mean there wasn’t anything that could be done.

Hyunmoo said with a smile.

“President Petrovich is dead, and you must have seen Baba Yaga, the best bastard of the Russian hunter world, die horribly. And the sky tower crossed the water, and the top-ranked hunters there were completely destroyed.”

Ivan bit his lips tightly.

Everything was as Hyunmoo said.

The hunters who were with Petrovich and Baba Yaga were all top level hunters representing the civilian and military.

In a world where the number of hunters possessed soon became national power, the damage they suffered was fatal. All they had left was one of them.

Swallowed by other factions, or wiped out by monsters.

“That’s right. All that’s left is ruin. How do you feel?”

“How are you feeling, you seem to know what kind of devil I am.”

Hyunmoo walked over to Ivan with a big smile.

Lee Ji-tae said that if each person plays his part in his place, he will bring out his best future.

It seemed like maybe it was the right thing to say.

Hyunmoo had a role to assign to Ivan, who survived thanks to Lee Ji-tae.

“I’m going to make a very generous and irresistible offer to you. Will you think of me as an angel when you hear it?”

***

Kremlin Palace, Senat Security Council.

Russia was ruled by two wagons of the absolute power called Petrovich and the powerful Baba Yaga, and the meetings were always conducted in a heavy and serious manner.

Petrovich came to the Cabinet after deciding everything in the organization behind it, which was already made up of only the clan of Weeping Stars.

All that the cabinet, including the general secretary, did was just make decisions and proceed with those decisions.

But now, the conference hall was hot and noisy, reflecting the chaotic situation in Russia.

“Where did the president go? Are you sure Baba Yaga has lost contact with him? Is the organization behind it completely destroyed?”

“At times like this, we need to advance to Europe right away! Why did you move your troops to the West! The poor European army will crumble like a shredded piece in front of ours anyway!”

“Crazy sound! Where can you afford to fight a war in a situation where there is a huge gap in talents? If a Flood explodes anywhere right now, it’s over. When the power is weak, we should cooperate, not war….”

“Let’s nuke!”

“wherever?”

“Let’s shoot anywhere! The important thing now is to show that we are not vulnerable!”

“If I could, I’d like to shove it into your crazy head and pop it.”

The conference hall became more and more noisy.

Russia’s Vice President, Mikhail Stasova, shook his head and let the meeting go haphazardly.

They’re all bullshit anyway. There was absolutely no need to listen.

Vice-President Mikhail brought them to the conference room just because he was afraid to think about something out of sight.

In fact, the generals on the border side, who were already informed, were showing signs of becoming warlords.

Just then, the door swung open and someone walked in.

Seeing the people entering, the military generals and ministers kept their mouths shut at the same time.

Vice President Mikhail jumped up and welcomed the man entering.

“Ivan Cherenkov. Welcome.”

Ivan silently bowed his head.

Ivan is considered to be Petrovich’s right-hand man, and when Petrovich performed dungeon-related tasks, he was always by his side as an assistant.

He could have been an alternative to Petrovich and Baba Yaga.

A general got up and shouted.

“Ivan! What the hell happened to you! You only believed in talented people…”

“I’m sorry, Vice President Mikhail, I want you to hand over the other cabinets.”

Ivan cut the general’s horse and made a suggestion to Mikhail.

The generals were furious, but Mikhail ordered everyone to leave the hall.

Ivan’s level was higher than the average apostles, but he was not yet able to rise to the ranks of apostles due to his lack of faith. However, within the organization, he was treated as a subcontractor.

The fact that he was still alive raised the expectation that the organization behind it might be still alive to some extent.

When the chaotic conference hall became quiet, Mikhail put his forehead on a look like he was about to cry.

“I hope it’s good news. Of course, I dreamed of becoming president, but I want to avoid becoming the captain of a sinking ship like I am now.”

“I brought you an offer.”

“proposal?”

Ivan pulled out a piece of his paper from his arms. It was a note that looked like it had been ripped out of a notebook.

But Mikhail, who accepted it and read it, had an absurd expression on his face. There was nothing to write on a single note.

“Are you kidding me now?”

“Do you think you can afford to joke in this current situation?”

“But…but a military agreement? With an individual?”

The content of the note was a kind of military agreement similar to the mutual defense treaty.

If one side is attacked, the other side cooperates in defense.

However, if you look at the details of the content, the Russian side was unilaterally disadvantaged.

Although Russia may have lost its capable men, it was still a country with a strong military force, and the content of the note even included the mobilization of nuclear weapons.

On the other hand, the opponent is an individual named Kang Hyunmoo.

there is only one

“…To be precise, Kang Hyunmoo and his affiliated groups will also be mobilized. Still, he is the head of an organization, and he is the real ruler of the Republic of Korea.”

“Even so!”

Mikhail shouted, slamming the desk.

“It’s just a small country on the outskirts! It’s such a nonsensical agreement with the capable group of an organization you’ve never even heard of? Are you crazy?”

Ivan let out a deep sigh at his words.

“Mikhail, without this agreement, this country will be shattered, annexed, or utterly destroyed. Now there are no Apostles of the Wailing Star left in Russia.”

“It’s absurd…!”

“So shut up and sign.”

hook. Suddenly, a cool breeze swept through the room.Mikhail hesitated.

It wasn’t his mood. There was a light sexuality on the table.

Ivan picked up the fountain pen on the desk and handed it to Mikhail.

Mikhail took a staggering stuttering fountain pen and engraved his autograph on his note.

He felt like he was joking.

Ivan cherished the note back into his arms, and Mikhail was barely able to breathe. He said looking at Ivan.

“Do you believe that only one hunter has the same value as the military and nuclear weapons of your country?”

“I want to say that my patriotism is not… but considering the current situation, it would be a choice to put our lives on the line.”

“this…….”

Mikhail leaned back in his chair, as if slumped down. It was not known how Russia got to this point.

in just over two days.

Mikhail shot at Ivan as if to show his last pride.

“…But it would be difficult to believe that a single note has deterrent power, Ivan. Such a kind of treaty is only established after mutual trust has been established to a certain extent. What if we just ignore it?”

“If we ignore Kang Hyunmoo when he needs this agreement.”

Ivan said quietly.

“When we go down to Hell, we’ll fall without a leash. No, then Kang Hyunmoo is the one who’ll kick our ass and trample his fingers.”

“It seems that the purge of Lin Hui Min has gone well. Lee Seo-yeon.”

Helen said while pouring tea into the teacup placed in front of Seoyeon Lee.

“With this, the South China Alliance has completely entered our faction with this. It’s unfortunate that we lost a number of talented hunters, but the purge was completed without the expected major damage. You did it very well.”

“Thank you, Helen. Luck helped.”

“Luck.”

Helen smiled softly.

“No. You have more than luck. I think you can see why Kang Hyunmoo pays attention to you. And the starving star.”

Lee Seo-yeon flinched.

Helen’s last words were a kind of checkpoint.

‘too fast.’

Of course, the sooner the success is, the better, but if you stand out before you build a strong foundation, you can become like Lin Hui-min.

Showing your ambitions, but stopping at the right level. That was the way to survive in the power of starving stars.

Or they have only a low level of desire that there is no way to be checked at all.

“What the starving star said…”

“The Starving Star wants to give you an ordeal.”

test.

It was an opportunity to rise to the ranks of the apostles.

But Lee Seo-yeon was also nervous. For now, it is difficult to overcome the ordeal and survive.

Then Helen tapped her sofa, she said.

“But now it’s impossible. You’re still on the low side as a capable person.”

Seo-yeon Lee only bowed her head deeply.

“Hurry up and get stronger. Sooner or later, the time will come when individual strength becomes important. Of course, it would be best to finish this game before that… but, after all, I have been entrusted with another mission.”

“Yes.”

Lee Seo-yeon took a long breath and opened her mouth.

“We have found out about some of the members of the alliance. Currently, the alliance appears to be infiltrating the U.S. backbone. With a high probability, it is speculated that the United States and the United Nations are already in control.”
