Thug by Bloodline

chapter 1





Episode 1: The bloodline is amazing

“Sorry, but there are no D-class dungeons left.”

Early in the morning, when he arrived at the Hunter Association, Lee Han-ul heard a ridiculous sound from the staff.

“Obviously, I was issued a ticket for the D-class dungeon that occurred in Seo-gu, Daejeon yesterday.”

Hunters need an admission ticket sold by the Association to enter the dungeon.

Securing tickets in advance is the basic of the basics.

Although Lee Han-ul was young, he was not so immature that he forgot the basics.

“Ah, that. I’m sorry. It was issued first to those who needed it more than Lee Han-ul.”

“What are you talking about? Someone applied first. You canceled it on your own and issued it to someone else?”

At Lee Han-ul’s protest, the employee gave a tired expression. He spoke to Lee Han-ul in an irritated voice.

“So you’re apologizing that you’re sorry.”

“Are you done with an apology?”

“Then, when a new D-grade dungeon appears, I will be the first to give the ticket to Lee Han-ul. OK?”

“I will protest against the Association.”

It was a sound that anyone in the temple could not help but be terrified of. But the staff only laughed.

“Do you know where these instructions came from? This is a direct order from above.”

A question appeared on Lee Hanul’s face. Why do you want to do that?

“You know Iron Peng, right? The second son of the guild master there asked the association to find a D-class dungeon to gain experience. But as you know, D-class dungeons are in short supply these days.”

“Is that why you handed over the dungeon I reserved?”

“Because it was inevitable. Please do so.”

Lee Han-ul burst out laughing. Either way, the clerk pointed at the door and said.

“If you understand, just get out of here. Don’t bother busy people.”

* * *

“sh*t.”

While swearing, Lee Han-ul put his butt on the outdoor bench.

“Dirty bastards. Who is not a cancer of the association industry?”

As is the case with Korean associations, the Hunter Association was no exception.

Corruption, corruption, and collusion with higher guilds.

It was a place where there was a lot of talk and a lot of trouble, but the influence of the association was so great that no one tried to change it.

“How much money did I spend to clear this dungeon?”

In order to clear this dungeon, Lee Han-ul even paid a debt.

I couldn’t help it. It was because during the last dungeon clearing, I met a dangerous monster unluckily and all my equipment was broken.

The only skill I learned in 22 years of living was hunting, so I couldn’t choose another job now.

So, I borrowed money to rent equipment and purchase the necessary medicines.

“This is a big deal. I can’t even go to another dungeon.”

Dungeon difficulty level is the lowest. There are no lower dungeons.

However, as the staff member said, the appearance of D-class dungeons has decreased significantly in recent years. Lee Han-ul also waited for several days before he could finally get a ticket to the D-class dungeon.

However, it was too dangerous to go to a C-class dungeon. Lee Han-ul knew exactly his level.

“How do I pay off my debt?”

Even while lamenting like this, the interest will continue to pile up.

Hanul Lee stopped thinking for a moment. I just stared blankly at the city.

“dad! I solved all the problems today!”

“Good job my son! Shall we eat something delicious later?”

I saw a rich man holding hands and walking down the street. The son laughed as the father playfully pinched his cheek.

As if possessed by something, Lee Hanul continued to follow the two father and son.

“That would be nice.”

It is a very happy thing to be protected by someone.

Having passed 22 years as an orphan, Lee Han-ul felt that fact keenly.

The nursery school where I spent my childhood was a nice place, but I couldn’t feel the family’s affection.

On the day he turned 18, Lee Han-ul was forced to leave the nursery school.

There were very few things that an immature person who knew nothing could do.

Fortunately, Lee Han-ul had the qualities of a hunter. Lee Han-ul jumped into the hunter industry to make a living.

However, the qualities Lee Han-ul had were very humble. There was no guild that would take Lee Han-ul, who was only at the level of a third-rate hunter.

In the end, Lee Han-ul had to live a wandering life until now, two years later.

“I heard that Iron Peng’s second son took my dungeon.”

Iron Peng.

A huge guild that shines at the top of Korea.

If you were born as the second son of such a place, how many privileges would you enjoy?

And how many will be trampled on for that privilege.

“Anyway, high-ranking people all taste like rice.”

Although he is only a third-rate hunter, Lee Han-ul has endured for three years in this industry.

That’s why I was well aware of how dirty the Hunter industry was.

“… … I’ll have to go find an empty seat.”

Sometimes, there are times when you urgently need a Hunter from a clan or guild.

It’s a flaw to have to match the analogy of employer hunters, but in the current situation, I had to do something to make money.

Besides, Hunters can only become stronger by entering dungeons.

It was much better to go into the dungeon even if it was somewhat overworked than to find a day job because there was no money.

It was time for Lee Han-ul to shake his butt and get up.

At that time, cars stopped in front of Lee Han-ul.

It was not an ordinary vehicle. It was a car of the ‘OGMG’ company, which produces a very small amount of security vehicles only for high-ranking politicians and conglomerates.

Not one, but more than 10 top-of-the-line cars lined up, which are said to easily cost billions per car.

The car door opened and bodyguards in suits poured out.

The moment he saw them, Lee Han-ul was shocked. It was because the momentum felt from each individual was so strong that it was terrifying.

All the bodyguards disembarked, and finally a young woman came out of the vehicle in the middle.

Neatly ironed suit and suit trousers. Short hair cut to the shoulders. She was a startlingly beautiful woman, despite her modest attire.

The woman walked in the direction of Lee Han-ul.

At first, Lee Han-ul knew that the woman would change direction on the way.

Contrary to expectations, however, the woman stopped in front of Lee Han-ul and bowed down.

“hello. You are Lee Han-ul, right?”

Lee Han-ul looked at the woman with a wary look.

No matter who it was, they would be surprised if they brought a luxurious car and more than ten bodyguards in broad daylight.

“Who are you that knows someone else’s name at will?”

“My name is Joo Ha-yeon from Heukcheon Group.”

“The Black Sky Group?”

Lee Han-ul made a puzzled expression.

What kind of place is Heukcheon Group? It is a large corporation with a global influence.

No, not at the corporate level. It is said that the capital and military power of the Heukcheon Group are equal to that of a large country.

Even Iron Peng, the No. 1 guild in Korea, was more insignificant than dust when standing in front of the Heukcheon Guild.

“What do you want me to do in such a great place? Are you going to make an offer to scout?”

“Oh, that’s not it.”

“I guess so. Why would Heukcheon Group take a third-rate hunter like me?”

A self-deprecating laugh came to Lee Han-ul’s lips.

“Then what are you going to do? There’s no way I was bored and asked for directions. Don’t bother busy people and speak quickly.”

“Lee Han-ul, do you remember your parents?”

It was a random question. Lee Han-ul did not hide his displeasure.

“Are you going to make a fuss right now?”

“Lee Han-ul’s father is Kwon Cheon, the second son of Heukcheon Group chairman Kwon Seon-woo.”

Indeed, after a long time, Hanul Lee experienced that the muscles on his face stiffened.

“What nonsense… … .”

“It’s not bullsh*t.”

“That’s bullsh*t. I grew up in an orphanage since childhood. But my father can’t be such a great person… … .”

“Kwon Cheon left the Heukchun group and disappeared a long time ago. After that, he got married and gave birth to Lee Han-ul.”

Joo Ha-yeon calmly continued to speak.

“Unfortunately, Kwon Cheon and his wife passed away due to illness. After that, Hanul Lee was entrusted to an orphanage.”

I was speechless.

Hanul Lee touched his lips for a while. What should I say? I couldn’t say anything.

“Heukcheon Group has been looking for Kwon Cheon for a long time. Then, it was only recently that I found out that the two of them had passed away and the existence of Lee Han-ul.”

Joo Ha-yeon bowed once more toward Lee Han-ul.

“Lee Han-ul’s grandfather, Kwon Seon-wu, who is the chairman of Heukcheon Group, told us to bring Lee Han-ul to Heukcheon.”

Joo Ha-yeon pointed at the vehicle. The long line of bodyguards bowed in unison.

“Lee Han-ul, let’s go to Heukcheon with me.”

On this day, Hanul Lee’s life changed.
