chapter 109
late dawn.
Uncle’s Cafe again.
Jaehyuk Lee and I sat side by side and looked at the man in his 40s sitting opposite.
While I brought lawyer Park, Jae-hyeok Lee came from the association with a bundle of contracts.
This is the standard contract that the Association used when signing slave contracts with Hunters. There are differences for each hunter, but the basic framework does not change.
I’m sticking with them to use them. Filling the leash remains the same.
Attorney Park glanced through the contract. He lifted his heavy lips.
“So, you’re going to convene the hunters and create an emergency waiting group?”
“yes.”
“I don’t know what the skills of the hunters who accepted this kind of support would be… There is no problem with the contract. it’s okay.”
Jaehyuk Lee muttered the cold bungeobang and wiped his forehead. he sighed and said
“Uh-huh, I feel like I’ve crossed a mountain.”
I also untie the tie strap and sag through it.
“First, we ask the HR team and get the list of contracted hunters.”
“Can I give you?”
“Even if the vice president has lost his job, there is a rank, and if you talk through that, you will be able to get it.”
“Okay, it was good to appoint an advisor.”
Match!
I gave a small high-five with Jaehyuk Lee.
It will be hot for the association.
I was making money and hiding it in a safe, but it was like a thief robbed me of it.
I’m already curious about the faces of the moving guys.
I can’t see it as a part-time adviser.
“By the way.”
Attorney Park interrupted by knocking on the table.
“Can you really attack this?”
“What?”
He puts on a face that doesn’t deserve my question.
“Anyway, it’s the same as having to create a second raid, isn’t it? I won’t be able to rest my hand just because it takes two years in America.”
“Okay.”
“Isn’t the director Lee Jae-hyuk’s appointment of Lee Ji-ah also pressured from the board of directors?”
Jaehyuk Lee nodded and answered.
“Yes, after all, a cause is important. Lee Ji-ah was the number one hunter, so there was no reason to refuse.”
The association decided to appoint Lee Ji-ah as they hoped that the attack of the Abyss dungeon would fail.
Lee Jae-hyuk’s thugs were only possible under one cause.
‘It is necessary for the attack.’
With just one word, everything becomes permissible.
And it was his weapon as well as his lasso.
If the board of directors attacked with that justification, Jaehyuk Lee had no choice but to listen.
It was really blindfolded, but this was the way the world worked.
Because public opinion is driven by a cause.
“In the end, if you go to the end and fail, all of this will be useless. It’s a very minor attack for the Association. But if the board of directors can intervene in the selection of members of the second raid, wouldn’t it be difficult?”
Like Lee Ji-ah, I keep trying to put problematic hunters in. Of course, I wouldn’t name a hunter with a problem openly.
Lee Ji-ah covered the depression issue with her performance at the gate in Cheorwon-gun. It is ranked number 1 there.
There was a place where I could be forced to designate.
And there are probably not one or two such hunters in Korea. As lawyer Park said, there were many things that could be manipulated.
But, it didn’t matter.
He replied by dumping sugar cubes into the coffee.
“Gate Disaster Response Headquarters will be left as a façade.”
Jaehyuk Lee turns his head and looks at me. Beams come out of your eyes
Ignored and continued.
“As lawyer Park said, it is easy to be disturbed. We have no control at all. We will have to go through one inspection through the media, and the board of directors will also do a lot of trickery.”
Political factors interfered too much to focus on attack alone.
“No, but what is the point of completely abandoning the 2nd raid? So, who makes the attack squad?”
Ignoring Lee Jae-hyuk’s complaints, he got up. I grabbed a cup of coffee and walked around the table.
The words that came out after organizing my thoughts were a little childish.
“Who am I?”
“I don’t think he’s a philosopher.”
“It’s the manager. Neither the military nor the cafe part-timer, nor the advisor of the association, are not my full-time jobs.”
He took a piece of paper from his pocket and placed it on the table. It was a business card that Han Ye-rim made as a gift. My title was written in hard gothic font.
[Bastard Sword]
[Hunter Management Team 2]
[Team Leader Kim Hyun-woo]
From the moment you choose to fight the association, and are convinced that you will be the advisor.
I put all my thoughts together.
How should I deal with them?
We had to seize the victory in an unfavorable situation. I calmly analyzed my power and the power of the other party, and gave the results.
“then. What would a manager do?”
Jaehyuk Lee also noticed that he opened his mouth blankly.
“Hunter management… .”
“Fortunately, I am in charge of the team leader and there is only one hunter I manage, so there is a lot of vacancy.”
I smiled and looked at them.
Attorney Park crossed his arms and listened with interest. He must have been thinking the same thing as me from the beginning.
It was because he was the person who had been in the industry the longest among them.
“As lawyer Park picked up, all kinds of meddling will come into the second raid. tell me to do it Let’s leave it to the board and people’s taste.”
throws prey
Chew it and tear it off to make it quiet.
“In the meantime, we are preparing under the water.”
Bastard Sword was a guild.
Gathering hunters in the guild was not at all strange. And the fact that I, as the management team leader, chose my own team members was not something anyone could meddle with.
It was all my authority, and it was my job.
There was no room for public opinion and the association to intervene in the Hunter Management 2 team.
So.
“I will create a team to attack the Abyss Dungeon myself.”
* * *
“Uh-huh, but Hyun-woo.”
Jaehyuk Lee scratched his head. There was one problem.
“Did you know that the difficulty of attacking the Abyss Dungeon is the highest ever?”
“yes. It took me two years in the US.”
“Bastard Sword is a new guild less than half a year ago.”
“you’re right.”
Bastard Sword was emerging anew. Lee Ji-a is the best current hunter and Han Yu-jeong is the best hunter of the next generation. And thanks to Kim Hyun-woo, he made his name known through broadcasting.
It was certain that sooner or later, they would squeeze through the gaps of the guilds that were holding up like a castle.
However.
“If the guild can handle it alone, why are we doing this?”
Korea, Japan, the United Kingdom, and Cambodia all tried, but failed.
It was no other reason that Lee Jae-hyuk is currently one of the most powerful people in Korea.
In order to make it easier to recruit ace hunters from each guild, so as not to break the dungeon attack, the government and association have handed over the powerful authority.
Of course, it was difficult to attack one guild, and one management team belonging to it.
“Hunters do not want to enter the Abyss dungeon because rumors have spread that they have been judged impossible to attack. When I was appointed as the second raid, it was one truck that came to get money.”
He immediately rushed into the association to get Lee Ji-ah out of Kim Hyun-woo. Even associations with a certain degree of compulsion do so. Hunters are not slaves of the guild. No one will try to get in.
“And I’m blindfolded anyway. At the board of directors, you must be paying close attention to each and every action of Mr. Hyeonu, but even if you put it all together, why not contact us personally?”
Kim Hyun-woo wiped his face with a tired complexion.
“… Let’s take S-class hunter Lee Ji-ah as an example.”
Lee Ji-ah had mental problems.
Then she signed a contract with Kim Hyun-woo with an annual salary of 18 billion won.
Of course, life is more important than anything else.
“There are hunters who are experiencing mental problems. Or, hunters who have to do things they don’t want because of a skill penalty.”
“Things like Thousand Killers or Berserkers?”
Kim Hyun-woo’s shoulders trembled. He nodded his head with a stern look in his eyes.
“Why don’t you show them your peace of mind? If you trade in your ability.”
Kim Hyun-woo had already experienced the answer.
Although not now, both Lee Ji-ah and Han Yoo-jung started with peace of mind.
Lee Ji-ah is suffering from depression.
In order to suppress the murderous intentions of Cheon Salseong, Han Yoo-jung.
obsessed with him
“Some of the S-class abilities have a psychological penalty as a reward. So there are a lot of people who gave up on Hunter in the middle. There are hunters who are isolated from society or are shunned. If Hyeonu solves it… … .”
Jaehyuk Lee, who had his chin cut, tapped the calculator in his head.
“Maybe, it is possible.”
He jumped up from his seat with a bright face.
“For those people, peace of mind is worth more than money, and as long as the subject of power is Mr. Hyeonu, they will never betray the Disaster Response Headquarters!
Even so, it would be impossible to control the Thousand Deaths… If you do as Hyeonu said, the talent pool will expand dramatically.”
👌👌👌👌👌
Excited, Jae-hyeok Lee scattered the documents in the air. The papers fluttered and fell. The floor was dirty, but he didn’t care.
First, the provision of manpower to handle the dungeon break.
All the hunters who signed a slave contract with the association are stolen and used. It was a win-win. Rather than entering a mysterious and dubious dungeon and fighting for your life, it’s better to just run and run for a while, even if it’s a little difficult.
Second, the second raid.
Instead of having a lethal effect on the mind, there were traits that gave them strong abilities.
Celestiality, Berserker, Runaway, etc.
In the case of Cheonsalseong, people are forcibly killed. Most of them were killed or imprisoned in dungeons, making scouting impossible. I can’t even imagine that it will be controlled by peace of mind.
However, there were several abilities that were backwards compatible. If Kim Hyeon-woo directly enters the dungeon, the range of hunters that can be hired by that alone greatly increases.
I was able to break free from the association’s meddling and form a proper attacking force.
The typhoon passed and the dawn began to rise.
There was finally a way to survive.
Jaehyuk Lee asked in an angry tone.
“Then are you planning to bring Lee Ji-ah and Han Yu-jeong into the dungeon too?!”
Kim Hyun-woo’s warm smile turned cold in an instant. He answered in a cool voice.
“no.”
Lee Jae-hyuk, who stiffened, blinked his eyes.
“yes?”
“Leave Jia and Yoojung alone.”
“no… One is an S-class hunter, and the other is an S-class prospect… … .”
“Don’t touch the two.”
“Uh… yes.”
“Why did I join the Disaster Response Center? Think well. Commander-in-Chief.”
He nodded, sweating profusely.
