Chapter 89: Friend Dongchul 2

Jaehwang was quite surprised.

If he was apart of the Daehyeon group then that means that he was in that place. The place where he met Sooji once again. What made him even more surprised was the vicious acts that the Daehyeon group were responsible for. The company was shunned a couple of million times by society but, was that it?

Equipment expenses were a lot to handle. Through the ammunition industry, the monster part of the company had gained an international level of fame and it fell into becoming a multinational business.

“Is there anything else you want to know.”

“At the same time, the expenses for the mine is being inserted but it looks like they secretly contacted the followers of the Samjeon church during their computations. Even though it was foolish, that has been reported to our superior officers.”

“Was that really the Daehyeon group?”

The least he could do was tell him the truth. “It’s all true. I was recruited along with dozens of other hunters. But… Now that’s all over…”

“Dozens of people?”

“Yes. Others were trained by the church. Isn’t that how it works?”

“What do you mean?”

“People were studying the new Gagseog procedure. The standard method is now much stronger than it used to be…”

Things had started to change all around the world for hunters taking the standard procedure. The only thing that you would need to take it was money but if there was a chance that you’re born with it then things would be so much simpler.

The side effects have been removed but the probability of the surgery to be successful still sits at 50 percent. There was a 20 percent chance of death and the remaining 30 percent was to live in between the lines of a human and a monster.

The procedure was dangerous and it needed to be managed carefully. The Daehyeon group are secretly studying on how to raise that probability.

“Is there someone that knows this?”

“You’re the first person to learn about this”

“Darn it…” Jaehwang said as he stood up from his seat. If what he said was true, then theres a chance that it could be stopped.

Dongchul then said, “But, there’s something more important than that.”

“What?” He couldn’t think of anything that could be more important than that… Could Korea be joining hands with the Bileons?

Dongchul hesitated for a moment. This was actually the reason he wasn’t speaking in the first place. He was also at first, surprised when he woke up here.

First, he was controlled by the Samjeon church, then, he was suddenly in Gwanjae’s mansion and now, he’s talking to his old friend Jaehwang.

It felt like a strange fate along with the fact that he was completely healed. He also wondered how his friend had any connection with Gwanjae.

After everything that he’s said, Jaehwang couldn’t believe how much his friend had changed. Everything was silent as Jaehwang waited for Dongchul to speak. It seemed hard for him to speak but then, he did.

“Jaehwang, don’t be surprised about what I’m going to say. I’m not supposed to tell you this but… The Daehyeon group took part in your parent’s death.”

“What?” Jaehwang was barely able to get the words out of his mouth. He should be mad but he just stood in his place. He couldn’t believe what he had just heard. “What are you talking about?”

“The Daehyeon group took part in the accident that caused your parent’s accident…”

“What do you mean?”

“They committed that crime?” He didn’t want to believe it but no matter how he thought about it… it made sense. However, there was a little denial within that realization. He just couldn’t believe it. Did Sooji know that too? Was she a part of the accident? Could she be a part of his parent’s death?

He had to be joking but it didn’t sound like a joke at all.

“How do you know that?” Jaehwang continued to ask.

“I shared with a room with a guy who knew about it. He used to help the group with their evil acts but the day before it occurred, I had to confess everything and I told them all I knew about you. After that, they told me that they were the reason for your family’s fate… they were testing my trust.”

Jaehwang stood there with a blank expression, his calm demeanor was wearing thin. He then grabbed Dongchuls collar and asked, “Is this all true?”

Anger filled the hospital room.

Titikk…

A glass picture frame hanging on the wall then fell into the floor. It was shattered to pieces. A blue trail of light then started to come out of his eyes. It didn’t look like things were about to go well for Dongchul.

However, Dongchul wasn’t frightened or angry about what was happening. He knew something like this would happen. It was why he hesitated to say anything in the first place. He also knew that his friend wasn’t a murderer.

People had that illusion about him.

He knew that he was actually a reasonable and a nice person. However, he didn’t know this Jaehwang. That was a side of him that he had never seen before.

Tak…

He then let go of his collar and growled, “You better be telling the truth.”

He wanted it all to be just a nightmare. Dongchul then stood up from his bed and walked towards Jaehwang. He was still a little taller than him.

“I can fix it,” He said, showing off his muscles that were very visible. He was, in fact, feeling much stronger and energized after his recovery.

He felt so much better than before. He originally got stronger through his time of training to become a hunter. He’s now in a condition to fight off wild animals and monsters.

“I’m telling the truth. I don’t how you feel right now but I can understand it a little. That’s why I hesitated to tell you at first, but I know that I had to tell you. I went through a lot of pain there and I could never forgive those people.”

“Just as you said, I won’t trigger your hunting sense.” He was shorter than Dongchul but the anger running through him was like a wild beast. Jaehwang was currently still trying to process everything as he still found it unbelievable. He wanted to kill them all.

Death… a horrible death… he was thinking of the cruelest death as possible. He had it all planned in his head. But about his friend Dongchul…

“Sooji was also connected to it. How did you know that?”

“..S-sooji?” If Sooji was directly apart of it then he would definitely be adding her on his hit list. Everything was silent and they just stood in front of each other.

-Why is it suddenly quiet like this?

The spirit startled Jaehwang.

-After hearing everything I… I think you should save your anger for later.

The spirit said and Jaehwang held his anger inside of him until it disappeared. It was as if it got swallowed up by a vacuum.

-Anger… bloodlust… they’re not bad feelings but you should store it all away for now. Think slowly. Anger and killing intentions are not what you need right now.

-…I know. Thanks.

Jaehwang took a deep breath and calmed down. The spirit was right. Anger and murder would only make him just as bad as them. The spirit noticed that the situation was making him cold-hearted but it wasn’t because of Dongchul, it was because of the attention of others.

“Why don’t you stop eavesdropping and just come in?” Jaehwang said and Dongchul looked confused. The door to the room then opened and it was Rumi.

“I wasn’t eavesdropping.”

“It doesn’t matter. Does my grandfather know about this too?” Jaehwang wanted to keep everything between just him and Dongchul but that wouldn’t have helped them in any way.

“Yes, he knows everything, actually, you can contact him now if you want.”

“Thanks. I’ll talk to him when he returns.”

Rumi then left the room and it was once again just him and Dongchul just standing there.

“Let’s go,” Jaehwang said.

“Where?” Dongchul replied.

“I need to warm up a little before Gwanjae comes. I don’t know how much I can trust you but I won’t get rid of you.” Dongchul then smiled. Jaehwang seemed to be just as he remembered him. After his recovery, he still couldn’t do a lot of warming up but he was feeling strong enough to do a little sparring match.

“Okay, let’s go and arrange the ranks again.” Jaehwang led the way as Dongchul followed along behind him.

After one hour…

“Wheu…”

“You’re still not done arranging the ranks?” Dongchul said as he lied on the ground completely out of breath. “Ugh… This idiot.”

Dongchul said as he grabbed onto Jaehwang’s legs to try to stop him but, Jaehwang just ignored him and continued on.

Pong

Dongchul then got off of the ground and stood in front of Jaehwang as if he was protecting him.

The arrow he shot flew unbelievably fast… However, Jaehwang just smiled and disappeared into thin air.

“Hey! Isn’t that enough…” Dongchul yelled as Jaehwang disappeared. “Aren’t you going to play fair?”

Kwang!

Jaehwang came out of nowhere and kicked him in the face and then, he launched an arrow.

Swoosh… pong!

It wasn’t the sparring match he expected.

“Ahh!”

He wasn’t fast enough to dodge the arrow and it already lodged itself on his back. Jaehwang got his feet back on the ground and then, he disappeared once again.

“What’s going on!?”

“Are you using a hiding skill? I thought we weren’t going to fight each other?”

“Isn’t it a little unfair to be fighting this way?!”

He didn’t think that the fight would be like this.

“How am I supposed to fight back!”

Jaehwang kept using a hiding skill along with his sneak attacks. It was possible for Dongchul to fight back but he couldn’t guess where he would appear next. He didn’t have any skill similar or anything that would help.

“Stop being such a coward!” Just then, it felt as if he could feel his hunter senses.

Teuk…

He then pulled an arrow out of his waist and screamed as he lied on the ground. “You should be thanking me for the archery training equipment.”
