Chapter 60

21. Reorganization (3)

“North Korea?”

Cha Shin Hyeon’s forehead narrowed.


This was far beyond what I expected.

“Tell me more.”

“With our help, Twilight dominates the entire Korean hunter world, and in return, we have agreed to take over the rights of the dungeon located in North Korea.”

“Wait a minute.”

Cha Shin Hyeon interrupted Gaolin.

“North Korea is not even the territory of South Korea, let alone the realm of twilight.”

The Constitution specifies the territory of the Republic of Korea as the Korean Peninsula and its annexed islands, but it is necessary to face the reality.

It has been over 70 years since North Korea was established north of the ceasefire line. No matter how much they cry for unification and claim that they are the same nation, the reality is that they actually exist as separate countries.

“Likewise, it’s not even in China’s territory. But do you guys make contracts with other people’s land as they please? Who is the condition?”

“This is our proposal.”

“Did you accept Park Tae-hoon as good?”

“I was puzzled, but as you just said, isn’t North Korea a land you can’t even go to? It seems like they thought it was a no-loss offer.”

“Of course there is nothing to lose. Because it’s not yours in the first place.”

Cha Shin Hyeon clicked his tongue with a displeased face.

“Okay, so why did you put up such a condition?”

“I don’t know the details.”

“I do not know? Does the party who made the contract do not know?”

“I really am. I’m just following the instructions from above, and there is someone else who takes the lead in the North Korean side. My role is to interact with Twilight and handle Korea’s affairs…”

“Is this the strict division of roles?”

At Gaolin’s answer, Cha Shin Hyeon’s eyebrows furrowed.

Even if you force it to blow, if you don’t know the information itself, there’s no way you can find out. It seemed like something important was going to happen, but they threw out keywords and said they didn’t know.

‘If you want to know, I’m telling you to kick another guy.’


how will we do it.

After thinking for a while, a question suddenly entered Cha Shin Hyeon’s head.

It is not a matter of whether or not to go to the North Korean official. More fundamental than that, it was a question about the case itself.

‘… … Do I really need to intervene here?’

In the first place, what was the reason you were so busy going here and there today?

Gaolin tried to kill himself, and Park Tae-hoon was a murder teacher. He was only punished for touching himself directly.

However, things are a little different with Gaolin’s upper head.

Gaolin was provided to Park Tae-hoon (?), so it can be seen as an indirect cause, but that’s it. What they were up to in North Korea was just a matter of curiosity and not something you had to know. It has nothing to do with Cha Shin Hyeon, whether Chinese hunters roam North Korea or what they do.

Still, is there any reason to touch them here in the first place?

It is disgusting to get involved in political battles such as plots between guilds or strife between countries.

What Cha Shin Hyeon wanted was the status quo. I already have a lot of money. While enjoying a prosperous life, it was enough to study the Hunter’s abilities.

However, Park Tae-hoon broke down because he touched himself for nothing. The scale of shoveling grew bigger as they brought in Chinese hunters. There are already signs of muddy mud.

Cha Shin Hyeon’s honest feelings were that she wanted to step out even now.

I don’t know if that’s possible, but at least I didn’t want to go ahead and grow the business.

“Well, good. If you don’t know, skip it.”not actively active

However, he will definitely trample on the opponent if he is still standing still.

To prepare for that, extract all the information that can be extracted.

Instead of digging deeper into the case, Cha Shin Hyeon shifted the question towards Gaolin’s background.

“You said your actions were in accordance with the instructions from above.”

“That’s right.”

“If your skills are a mix of techniques and skills, then an ordinary high-ranking hunter will not be able to compete. Then, is the person above you from Moorim like you?”

“Yes. There is a person we serve as the master, and there are four key executives, including myself, under him. The key executives are nominally equal, but there is a difference in power, so actually my rank in the organization is about 5th.”

“Aha, you are like the weakest of the so-called Four Heavenly Kings. “Actually, he was the weakest of us!”

Cha Shin Hyeon chuckled, and her eyes narrowed.

“However… … Are those five returnees? Or are there other returnees besides key executives?”

“I’ve met all the promising hunters, but at least so far I haven’t found any more. I don’t know if he is living in hiding without working as a hunter or if he is deliberately sticking to a low level.”

“The latter doesn’t make sense, and you might be disillusioned with Moorim and try to live like the former. If that’s the case, it will be difficult to find in the future.”

“We thought so too. In the end, I have no choice but to think that there are only five returnees.”

Gaorin, who paused for a moment, continued.

“So when I found out that Koreans Tae-Hoon Park and Ji-Hye Lee were returning patients, I was shocked. One may be lucky, but the two are different stories.”

“It’s three now. Oh, we were two again. Do you know the situation in other countries?”

“So far… … To confirm that you are a returnee, you have to meet face-to-face, and it is not easy to meet hunters from other countries, especially for high-ranking hunters. I also met Park Tae-hoon out of necessity, and it turned out that he was from Moorim, and I was lucky enough to get to know him.”

“is it.”



It may not be possible to simply measure this problem in proportion to the population, but since three people came from Korea, dozens of people from China have to come out to get the balance right.

But five people.

There is no other sample, so I can’t compare it, but it was either too few from China or too many from Korea.

And the 8 returnees that have been revealed so far are all top performers. Power level 50 or higher. There are no small dwarfs, only outstanding people who have formed a family.

‘Is it a coincidence?’

Well, that’s right. It doesn’t sound very convincing that out of 1.4 billion Chinese, only five of them went to Moorim and all returned as masters.

‘I’d rather have a minimum level condition in the return condition. If you can’t master the climax, even if you die, you won’t be able to return…’

I can’t test it, so it’s just a guess.

In this case, what is important is not the process but the result.

Aside from Gaolin, there were four more returnees in China, and the point was that we could run into them in the future.

“Let’s talk a little bit about these key executives.”

“We only know superficially about each other’s true spirit and martial arts. Everyone has one or two hidden things…”

Even while saying that, Gaolin vomited information about Miju Algojual.

He was trying very hard to figure out what his opponent was trying to cover with information about his somewhat lacking skills.

After receiving a report on the personal information of the four returnees, their approximate skills, and their specialties in quite detail, they also heard everything about the organization itself.

The overall size of the organization, its main bases, its mode of activity, the level of its subordinates, the method of contact, etc.

The information he knew as a key executive was endless. Cha Shin Hyeon absorbed all the little things that were just like magazines.

There was a ban on not saying that, but to no avail.

Even the magician who put the prohibition would not have thought that he was not interfering with the prohibition itself, and that he would crush a person who was about to commit suicide with the power of the prohibition.

“It is because . . . .”

“Got it.”

With a slightly tired look, Cha Shin Hyeon nodded his head.

Unryeong is also a kind of heart sword, but it was the first time I had used a heart sword for such a long time, so I was mentally quite tired. If this was an experience, it was an experience, so it wasn’t a bad feeling.

“I think I asked so many questions that I couldn’t think of anything more to ask.”

It was a little difficult to ask Lee Ji-hye, but she also understood the difference between an ordinary returnee ‘returning from the dead’ and her ‘returning after a full-time job’.

It was a time when she asked and answered in detail enough to say that she had been scratching Gao Lin’s head.

“It was a big help.”

“thank you.”

Under Cha Shin Hyeon’s favor, Gao Lin bowed her head.

“The bad things haven’t changed, but you were nothing more than a sword wielded by Park Tae-hoon, and you paid the price for it by confiding everything in her head.”

Cha Shin Hyeon could be cruel if necessary, but conversely, he could be generous. Although she was exactly the one who bothered to use her hand any more.

“Well done,” she said. Just die.”

Anyway, he showed her mercy to Gao Lin.

Because he sentenced me to a painless and clean death.

Not the power of words and spirits that interfered with the mind of the opponent, but a pure heart-sword-shaped ability.

Cha Shin Hyeon’s will penetrated Gaolin.

Gao Lin remained silent and her breath stopped.

Cha Shin Hyeon, who looked down at the body for a moment, came out of the tent.

“Are you done?”

Kim Ha-geun, who had been away from the tent on purpose, came up to me quickly in case I could overhear him.

I definitely like the way you behave. With that in mind, Cha Shin Hyeon nodded his head.

“Yes. He is dead, so please take care of the body.”

“Oh, I see.”

Ha-geun Kim, who had paused for a moment, regained his composure and continued.

“And while Cha Shin Hyeon was interrogating, Samdado guild members were held captive.”

“Good job.”

“But they keep insisting that they are not at fault. Apparently, the search team found that part of the dungeon had collapsed, and they didn’t even know why…”

“okay?”

Cha Shin Hyeon snorted.

“Did you show the bodies of the Chinese hunters?”

“They also say they don’t know.”

“They are fun guys. Does Kim Ha-geun think so too?”

“I hope.”

Kim Ha-geun shook his head.

“If a dozen strangers appeared and the cave collapsed, there must have been some conspiracy even if the bomb exploded as Cha Shin Hyeon said.”

He presented his thoughts coherently to Cha Shin Hyeon rather than flattering him.

“If the perpetrators tried to harm someone… … . Isn’t Cha Shin Hyeon more likely to be the target than Samdado? Because conspiracies are also designed for good people. Realistically, it is highly likely that this is the home ground of Samdado.”

“That’s an interesting point of view.”

Cha Shin Hyeon let out a low laugh.

“You saw it right. In fact, Lim Jong-wook, the guild leader of Samdado, was the main character of Twilight. He said Twilight was part of a plan to reach out on Jeju Island.”

“Yeah?!”

“I am confident in accepting confessions, so let’s go together. I will listen directly to Lim Jong-wook. After hearing that, Ha-geun Kim doesn’t want to keep them alive.”Well, regardless of Kim Ha-geun, their deaths are reserved.

Cha Shin Hyeon muttered as she walked slowly.

“I am tired today. I will finish it quickly.”

* * *

Cha Shin Hyeon is a lifesaver.

Neither Lee Ji-hye nor Jeon Jun-ho raises any objection to that point, and they are deeply grateful.

There was no dissatisfaction with the fact that the Twilight Directors and the Dawn Directors who betrayed them were punished.

They really wanted to kill themselves.

If Cha Shin Hyeon had arrived 10 minutes late, he would have been really dead. Lee Ji-hye and Jeon Jun-ho were not soft enough to put up with it.

There’s no guarantee they won’t do it twice. The root should be removed from the root. Cha Shin Hyeon’s decisive hand was for them too.

But apart from that, the two had to solve the Taesan-like problem they faced.

“Once the body was recovered…”

“Next is the problem.”

Jeon Jun-ho and Lee Ji-hye sighed side by side.

After classifying the dungeons by risk, the death rate dropped a lot, but the hunter is still a job that loses his life if he takes one step. Even if you die while hunting monsters, it’s not a big issue.

But this case is different.

The hunter attacked the hunter, and it was even a battle between the leaders of the two major guilds in Korea. It didn’t just end after a fight, the high-ranking hunter was annihilated.

The death of one Seo Kang-jin was somehow able to pass through the disappearance, but the disappearance of eight high-ranking hunters at once cannot be overcome.

Because there was a huge hole in the manpower to handle the high-risk dungeon right away.

“Should we proceed with the integration?”

“It must be so. We can’t leave the twilight that lost the command tower as it is. Of course, we have to keep it as secret as possible from the outside.”

“I can’t tell the truth. I’m having a hard time figuring out how to present it later. If there is no Twilight side at the time of announcing the merger, that would be controversial.”

“I will think about that later. Now put out the fire first.”

Suddenly, Lee Ji-hye muttered bitterly.

“Ah, she was against unity, it was Dawn, but she actually absorbed the twilight from this side . . .”

Junho Jeon said with a smirk.

“It’s possible to stay separate. I’m a guild leader, so it’s a little different, how about you transfer to Twilight? Now, would you like to become a guild leader?”

“The twilight hole is much bigger than the dawn hole! You want me to cover it all up?”

“You’re smarter than me.”

“I respectfully speculate. You will collapse from exhaustion while suppressing the opposition from those below you.”

Lee Ji-hye grunted.

“Or ask Cha Shin Hyeon to take care of it. There is more than enough to fill the vacant positions of high-ranking hunters.”

Junho Jeon trembled slightly, remembering the absurd inaction he had shown in the desert.

“It would be one thing, but… … I don’t know if Cha Shin Hyeon will take the place, aside from the backlash of others who don’t know the circumstances. To be honest, if I had made up my mind, I would have easily swallowed the Dawning as well.”

“… … It’s even more sad because it’s true. Are you too tall and not greedy for a seat? Anyway, just ask.”

“Okay.”

Lee Ji-hye shook her head.

“Anyway, whether we merge or separate, Cha Shin Hyeon cannot exist without Mr. Cha Shin Hyeon.”

It is a high-risk dungeon that 11 people distributed and attacked before Cha Shin Hyeon appeared.

Now that there are only two people left, it was impossible to cover them no matter how hard they tried. Well, there is an option to leave the dungeon if it doesn’t work, but it’s a bit reluctant.

As much as that, Cha Shin Hyeon’s presence had grown enormous.
