Chapter 124: Chapter 124

“Thanks to Ji Yoo Kim of Central Institute’s help, we were able to get the helicopter easily. Even rich people take at least 2 years to get a helicopter, but we were able to get one right away. This is all thanks to the general of Central Institute.”

Ho Sung Lee explained the helicopter like a businessman.

“As for the model, this is the latest helicopter…”

Ho Sung Lee listed all of the specifications of the helicopter that most people didn’t understand.

Min Sung listened as he looked it over.

The outside was all white.

And the inside was all beige with five seats and luxurious equipment.

“Do you like it?”

In response, Min Sung nodded.

“Make it so that I can get my helicopter and car licenses as soon as possible.”

“Yes, Sir. For a car as well?”

In response to Min Sung’s gaze, Ho Sung Lee quickly looked down.

“I’ll get that done, Sir.”

“Put a sports car near the Warp Gates all over the world. The cars were pretty slow.”

“Oh, sure.”

In response to the large-scale demand, Ho Sung Lee stuttered.

After checking the helicopter, Min Sung went back to this penthouse.

Min Sung sat down and asked for a coffee, and Ho Sung Lee immediately went to the coffee machine and brewed him a hot cup.

As he watched Min Sung drinking his coffee, he got himself to ask the question.

“Sir, before you become a hunter, were you a good fighter?”

“I’ve imagined it.”

Min Sung replied with eyes that appeared to be reminiscing.

“Imagined what?”

“When I was a freshman in high school, I watched a Mike Tyson match and imagined myself losing against him.”

Ho Sung Lee looked at Min Sung as if he hated a rotten jelly.

“Why?”

In response to Min Sung’s question, Ho Sung Lee simply shook his head.

While Min Sung continued drinking his coffee, Ho Sung Lee got a phone call.

Ho Sung Lee excused himself in order to take it.

During his call, Ho Sung Lee explained the contents of the conversation to Min Sung.

“Sir, the American hunter master, Ethan, would like to see you. He said he’s in Korea and asked when you’re available.”

“Tell him to come right now.”

“Yes, Sir.”

Ho Sung Lee delivered the message.

***

Ethan arrived at Min Sung’s penthouse.

“It’s only been a few days, but I feel like I haven’t seen you in ages.”

He smiled and sat on the sofa.

“Get to the point.”

In response to Min Sung’s stern eyes, Ethan shrugged and looked back at him with a serious look on his face.

“I’m here to tell you that we’d like to recruit you.”

“Under what condition?”

“We’ll give you 100 trillion as a contract fee.”

“What is it that you want?”

“We’re going to support you, and you must sell your items to only us, Americans.”

“That’s not bad. But I can’t say it’s good either.”

“What do you mean?”

Min Sung looked at Ethan.

Ethan stared at Min Sung’s dark eyes waiting for his response.

“There’s something else I want.”

“Tell me.”

Ethan acted like he was flexible, but he gulped loudly.

“I don’t need 100 trillion. And I’ll go inside the tower on my own. You just sit back and don’t do anything. That’s my condition.”

“Are you saying you won’t let America monopolize on your items?”

“No. I’ll decide how much I’ll sell them for.”

Ethan sighed deeply.

“My conditions will never change.”

Min Sung drew a clear line.

“I understand why you don’t want to only give the items to America, but why do you want to go to the tower on your own? For the good of our future…”

“You just get in the way without being any help to me.”

In response to Min Sung’s fact attack, Ethan looked down and clenched his teeth.

“What if we refuse?”

“Hey, American master.”

“…”

An item window popped up on the left side of Min Sung.

And within the item window was a white spark.

Ripppppp!

He didn’t even touch it, but the Orichalcum Sword made a torpedo attack in the air. It approached Ethan and floated near his temple.

“I have no intention of making a deal with you. I’m just telling you what I want.”

“…”

Ethan’s face dripped in sweat.

In response to the fascinating sight, Ethan was unable to come to his senses.

He knew he was strong, but he didn’t know he was this strong.

‘What kind of magic was that?’

Ethan felt as though a cold sword had gone through his chest.

His head continued to drip in sweat.

“Is this a good enough answer?”

“…I understand. So please get this sword away.”

Ethan asked for the Orichalcum Sword to be put away from his temple.

Swooshhhhhh!

Fwip!

The Orichalcum Sword flew over to Min Sung’s hand in an instant.

Ethan stared at the sword in Min Sung’s hand in shock.

“Deliver my message to all of the world hunters. Can you do that?”

“… Sure.”

Ethan responded as if he was swallowing a pill.

“Then get going.”

Ethan got up with trembling legs.

***

“Fuck…”

Ethan cursed on his way out of the Grand Tower.

He had always been treated with the utmost respect except from the Chinese, but in front of the Korean hunter named Min Sung Kang, he was absolutely powerless.

“Let’s just see how long you can keep this up for.”

Ethan looked back at the penthouse and then got into his limousine.

He was so angry that he took out a bottle of whiskey.

Right before he took a drink.

“Cough…!”

Ethan coughed.

But it was no ordinary cough.

He felt a hot fire within his chest.

“…?”

Ethan looked down with shocked eyes.

He saw blood dripping out of his mouth.

“What’s this…?”

It became harder and harder to breathe.

And at that moment.

“Whoosh!”

Blood sprayed out of his mouth like a fountain.

The driver pulled over the limousine in shock.

“Are you okay, Master? I’ll call 911…”

As soon as the driver took out his phone, one door ripped open.

Ethan looked toward the broken door with blood pouring out.

Someone was standing there.

It was the robed man.

He leisurely sat next to him.

“Is this… a side effect of the item…?”

Ethan sat still and asked the robed man.

“Ugh!”

He then coughed up more blood.

This time, it was even more painful and some blood vessels came out with it.

The robed man stared at Ethan with cold eyes and then took out a bottle from his jacket.

Inside the bottle was a white pill.

The robed man shook the bottle.

Rattle!

It made the sound of a rolling pill.

“You catch on quick. This is just a sedative. If you take this in less than 5 minutes, you’ll survive,” he explained.

When Ethan reached for it, the robed man pulled it back.

“Give… me… the pill.”

Ethan talked while panting and grabbed the robed man by the shoulder.

“You took two items. Because of that, you got the side effect a lot earlier than the rest of the world hunters.”

“Was this… a part of… your plan? You were watching all along…”

“Of course. We confiscated all the items that you secretly stole.”

“Cough! What… are you trying… to do…?”

Ethan asked with a red face and an expression that resembled that of a devil.

“It’s simple,” the robed man replied.

“Control.”

Ethan grimaced and closed his eyes shut.

“The American hunters are all taking sedatives as we speak. The hunters of other countries will soon suffer it as well.”

“You… sons… of bitches! Ugh!”

“Once the poisonous effect is activated, it disturbs your Aura’s energy. You’ll die within 3 minutes. And this poisonous effect will reoccur every week.”

Ethan grasped onto the robed man’s shoulder tightly, but his strength didn’t strain the robed man one bit.

The robed man watched Ethan die away as he handed him the bottle.

Ethan took the bottle with trembling hands and shook it into his mouth.

The white pill entered Ethan’s mouth.

Gulp-

As soon as he swallowed the pill, the color in Ethan’s face started to return.

Even his troubled breathing stabilized.

Although he was recovered, his body was still harmed.

Ethan caught his breath and stared at the robed man.

Within Ethan’s eyes were complicated emotions.

“You must have been desperate seeing how you ate the items right away.”

The robed man’s voice sounded annoyed.

“You’ll get a notice from Samchunkyo soon. You’ll have to follow their orders. If you don’t, we will no longer provide you with the sedatives.”

The robed man disappeared as soon as he was done talking.

Ethan tried to move when he coughed and curled over like a shrimp.

Despite having ingested the pill, it was still hard to breathe due to the aftereffects.

Ethan heard the sound of sirens ringing from afar.

***

Except for America, the hunters of other countries scheduled to meet with Min Sung Kang.

However, they suddenly received news.

That the American hunters were poisoned by the item.

And that the only thing to resolve it was a pill that Samchunkyo possessed and that if they didn’t take it, they would die.

They hoped that the message was wrong, but as soon as Ethan confirmed it, the world hunters fell apart.

The appearance of Min Sung Kang and the tower skewed the hunters’ judgment, and as a result, they ingested the items out of desperation.

The world hunters, who planned on standing behind Min Sung Kang, were suddenly being controlled by Samchunkyo.

They weren’t able to do anything as they waited for Samchunkyo’s announcement.

For this reason, the world hunters gathered at the Manhattan assembly for a meeting.
