chapter 216
216 episodes
The conflict between Heukho and Jeongin, called the incident.
People produced a lot of conspiracy theories based on that event, but in the end it was just the imagination in people’s heads.
While people were arguing like that, the contract guilds that had acquired all the strategy information returned to their home countries, but although there was a gap, a lot of strategy information had already been spread due to the Black Tiger, so they did not get as much profit as they expected, and in the end the contract was nothing guilds.
Some time has passed since that incident, which caused so many fires, and the world has become very calm on the outside.
Of course, only on the surface.
“Hahh!!”
A man runs through the rain with a pale, weary expression.
how far did it go
The man looked back and said.
“Did you bully me?”
But then.
A strange woman’s voice came from behind the man.
“Did you bully me?”
“Ugh!!”
When the man turned around, he saw a woman wearing a mask.
The woman held out her hand and waved.
“Give it up, that one.”
“I, please, I was wrong! I’ll never do that again… .”
“Give it up. Can’t you hear me?”
Then, next to the woman, hunters wearing different masks appear one after another.
“It makes me very hungry.”
At that, the female Hunter said in a blunt voice.
“I know.”
“Ugh… .”
“How dare you touch us like that?”
“I, I… .”
“I’ll give you a life. So, give it to me quickly.”
The man looked at the woman and said.
“Are you really going to save me?”
“uh. So, give it to me quickly.”
Then the man hesitated for a moment and handed the USB to the woman in the mask.
“A copy?”
The man looked into the woman’s eyes and said.
“Gee, on the computer at home… .”
“I have already taken it. Do you have anything stored in the cloud or something like that?”
The man said in an urgent voice when he said that his house had already been robbed.
“Come on, is your family safe?”
“Answer me. The next question.”
The man finally bowed his head and said.
“Uh, no.”
“okay?”
The woman said as she put the USB in her arms.
“I know you are lucky. It’s a less sensitive subject, so it’s over.”
“Hey, is your family okay?”
“it’s okay. Do you know what vicious bastards we are? by the way… .”
The woman whispered into the man’s ear.
“I’m not going to kill you, but why don’t you check if what you’re saying is true or not?”
“That, what is that.”
“From now on, our boys are going to have an honest conversation with you, so let’s be honest about everything. Understand? If you deceive us… I am determined to say goodbye to my family forever.”
As the woman gestured, the masked hunters struck the man’s abdomen, stunning him and said:
“Where shall I take you?”
The woman waved her hand and said.
“Do I even have to tell you that? Now do it yourself huh? How long are you going to be a trainee?”
“All right.”
As the hunters dragged the man, the woman who was left alone took off her mask and said,
“Hey, it’s like a star.”
The woman is straight up.
He was the first hunter of the Black Tiger and the most prominent hunter from the Black Tiger.
“Still, it’s good enough now. I have a lot of juniors.”
Yoo Ji-soo and colleagues, who have rapidly improved their skills through compressed growth through secret dungeons, have now been reborn as the center of the Black Tiger, who not only educates juniors but also takes charge of field work.
Yoo Ji-soo picked up her cell phone and called someone.
– What happened?
The person who was in charge of their training and the sign of the Black Tiger.
He did not know his name or identity, but he was a man they called the boss among themselves.
“Boss, I got it.”
The man we caught today was a reporter who was covering the North Korean special trade zone, and in the course of the interview, he got information that he shouldn’t know.
-Good work.
“Are you really going to save me?”
-Sometimes death makes a bigger noise. It means that if you kill all these trivial things, you might get more attention.
“… Whatever it is.”
-Take your family hostage and make them work for us.
“I know. That’s how I’ll deal with it. So can I go back now? Our guild kkondae is so f*cking stupid.”
Yoo Ji-soo, who has grown at a tremendous rate, has been packaged as a promising prospect who has grown at a tremendous rate after a little work, and has attracted the attention of many guilds.
So Yoo Ji-soo joined the Firebird Guild a year ago.
Yoo Ji-soo is one of the top prospects in the Firebird Guild, and now he is building a solid position in the guild to be appointed as one of the team leaders of the Firebird Guild Level 4 Hunter Team.
-i get it.
After finishing the call, Yoo Ji-soo said with a smirk.
“It’s still chilly.”
The one who dragged himself into the Black Tiger.
He was a benefactor to Yoo Ji-soo, who thought that joining the Black Tiger was the best choice in his life.
When it comes to money, it is the best life, with nothing behind it.
Isn’t it the Black Tiger that even the Jeongin group in the world couldn’t do?
Yujisu called someone again.
-hey!
Yoo Ji-soo said with a frown.
“Don’t shout, Vice Guild Leader.”
He was the deputy chief of the Firebird Guild.
– Are you tinkering again?
“What and how much did I hit?”
-ha.
The deputy chief exhaled a sigh.
– It’s because you don’t have talent. With a little more effort, you’ll be on top in no time!
The deputy guild leader gives sincere advice to Yoo Ji-soo, who is on the brink of a level 5 hunter, the most elite of the Firebird Guild.
In fact, thanks to that polka dot, I was able to hunt the sheep and receive support for the passive skill stone, which allowed me to be where I am today.
Anyway, from the point of view of the deputy guild leader, Yoo Ji-soo, who has grown so quickly by doing just as much as others do, has no choice but to stand out.
“Okay, okay.”
-You shouted loudly that it was my line, but if I do this, what will I become? huh?
“Yes, yes, I am going now.”
After finishing the call, Yoo Ji-soo said with a smirk.
“Kkondae, nagging.”
He knows that the advice is for himself, so he calls the deputy guild leader a kkondae, but he doesn’t hate it.
However, if a situation came where he had to betray the deputy guild leader by the order of the Black Tiger, he was a maintenance man who would never hesitate.
The deputy chief gave him a favor, but the black tiger gave him everything.
Even if the sub-guild leader collapses, it has no effect on himself, but if the Black Tiger falls, he will also collapse.
“Now, shall we go to work?”
* * *
“Hmm~”
I muttered as I walked through the yard.
“Good.”
After disguised as being attacked by a black tiger, he took this opportunity to build a mansion in Dangjin.
I finally got my own mansion that I had dreamed of seeing the house of Chairman Yoo Jung-hak.
Is that all?
Centering on this mansion, the headquarters of the vigilante group and the headquarters of the Jeongin Guild, as well as the buildings used as accommodations for the security team, are lined up.
In other words, this place is no less than a fortress of heaven.
There, there is a secret bunker as well as an emergency passage to another building in the basement.
“The kids are growing up well.”
Since it was decided to join the guild, the black tiger hunter was selected from the academy and raised by continuing to attend the academy.
In the academy, only the minimum schedule is filled, and the rest is compressed growth in the secret dungeon.
As a result, the hunters from the Black Tiger grew explosively compared to other hunters with similar talents, and of course they received attention as promising prospects.
The Black Tiger Hunters, who received love calls as promising prospects, naturally joined a reputable guild, grew wonderfully with the support of the Black Tiger, and are increasingly moving towards the backbone of each guild.
“It’s peaceful.”
What a peaceful year.
The year I spent consolidating my inner strength was like a vacation for me as well.
The first time I leisurely enjoyed my personal life, who had been running nonstop for only money and power.
“Would you like to go to work soon?”
I grabbed my cell phone and called the secretary’s office.
– Yes, Chairman.
“Please wait for the car.”
* * *
The dark-tanned car moves slowly along the road of Dangjin Dungeon City.
“Hmm… .”
What started as a container city has now become a real city with high-rise buildings being built.
And I was the one who made all this.
“Go play!!”
Shops that are engrossed in solicitation from early evening.
I, who was one of those people in my previous life, now owns the entire city.
“I don’t get tired of looking at it.”
The pride and pride I feel when comparing my present life, which is completely different from my previous life.
The car traveling along the city’s main road arrived at the Jungin Group headquarters.
“Awaken the Jungin group!!”
“Wake up!!”
As the Jeongin group grew, the front of the headquarters was always crowded with protesters like that.
People who were cut off by Jung-in’s subcontractors, those who lost money because of Jeong-in’s group, etc.
Such people gather in front of the headquarters and stage all kinds of protests.
That’s when I tried to ignore it and enter the headquarters because it had always happened.
“uh? Stop for a second!”
At my words, the attendant hurriedly stopped the car and said:
“Why are you doing this, Chairman?”
“Wait a moment.”
I looked into the face of one of the protesters and said,
“Gourd… CEO?”
The person who acknowledged my sincerity for the first time in my previous life.
The person who allowed me to even dream of having my own store.
Although he looked much younger than the last one I remember, it was certain.
“Really?”
As the time of retirement approached, President Park suggested that I, whom I knew, would not want to run a store.
Although it is small, it is a decent store with quite a few regulars, and as it is guaranteed a considerable profit, the desire to acquire it was like a chimney, but the problem is money.
But when I said I was short of money, he said that he believed in my sincerity and allowed him to pay the installment payment in installments.
Of course, while I was carrying the acquisition contract, I bumped into a car driven by that dog-like hunter, and my dream of owning a store was shattered.
But that kind of president Park is protesting in front of my company.
I was silent for a moment and said to the attendant who was holding the steering wheel.
“Do you see that person in that blue jacket over there?”
The assistant attendant who confirmed President Park nodded and said.
“Yes. I see it. Black shoes and a blue jacket.”
“Call me to the president’s office after a while.”
“Yes?”
The attendant said with a firm expression.
“I will call the bodyguards.”
Like the secretary who has been with me, when I point to the protesters, I start thinking about calling the bodyguard.
“After making it quiet, the president’s room… .”
“no no.”
I shook my head and said.
“Please treat me with respect. very respectfully. Did you know?”
* * *
Park Joong-ki’s company went bankrupt due to the dungeon crisis, and he became unemployed and desperate.
I don’t know if I’m young, but because I was already 40 at the time of the bankruptcy.
Still, Park Joong-ki, who had been thinking of his family, had robbed his seat and had been doing all kinds of hard work.
So, little by little, Park Joong-ki collected money little by little and took over his own store with a swelled dream.
However.
“Awaken the Jungin group!!”
Park Joong-ki’s dream was quickly shattered.
Because of the person who sold the store.
Park Joong-ki screamed until his throat went away.
“Jeongin Group, protect small business owners!!”
Strictly speaking, the Jeongin group did nothing wrong.
The Jung-in group is known for being quite generous when it comes to rental business.
It’s just that the guy who sold the shop to him took advantage of the loopholes in the system.
But that doesn’t mean you can’t stand still.
I had to do something.
I had to let the world know about this cry and regret.
That’s when I participated in the protest like any other day.
“uh?”
Secretaries and bodyguards walk towards the protesters from the Jeongin group building.
Basically, this is the first time this has happened because the Jungin group adhered to the principle of non-response to protests.
Park Joong-ki is also bewildered and looks at his secretary and bodyguards, but isn’t that kind of secretary suddenly in front of him?
“Are you Mr. Park?”
“uh… uh?”
Park Joong-ki said in a panic.
“No, that’s right.”
The secretary said with a polite expression.
“Let’s go together. The president will see you.”
“Ah, Chairman?”
Park Joong-ki’s protest wasn’t because he wanted the real Jung-in group to solve it.
In the first place, the Jungin group did not respond to the protesters in any way.
They just participated in a protest to vomit their wrath to the world.
But all of a sudden, you’re the president.
Park Joong-ki was rather frightened by the unexpected situation.
“Hey, why are you suddenly calling me? .”
“I don’t know that either.”
All sorts of thoughts fill Park Joong-ki’s head.
The opponent is a conglomerate with enormous influence in the hunter world.
The fear of being dragged away like this and getting rid of both mice and birds without knowing it prevails.
“I, I… .”
But then, fellow protesters who were around said to the secretary.
“Please let me meet the president too!!”
“me too!!”
As soon as the demonstrators gather, the security guards with the secretary block the demonstrators.
Park Joong-ki saw that and thought.
‘… okay. If not now, I’ll tell the president about my situation sometime.’
It’s scary, but it might be an opportunity.
In the end, Park Joong-ki nodded and said.
“Oh, I see.”
* * *
So, under the guidance of the secretary, Park Joong-ki stood in front of the door of the president’s office.
Park Joong-ki swallowed dry saliva and said.
“D, can I come in?”
“Yes. The president is waiting for you.”
At the secretary’s words, Park Joong-ki opened the door to the president’s office and said:
“Sir, I’m sorry.”
Park Joong-ki entered the president’s room like that.
And I saw Park Joong-ki.
Jeong In-soo is sitting on the sofa and waiting for him.
‘Me, Insoo Jung.’
Jung In-soo became famous for his strong and uncompromising personality through a conflict with the Black Tiger.
In order to fight the Black Tiger, do you not hide yourself for two months or lead the hunters yourself?
However, Jung In-soo greets him with a bright smile.
“Welcome, Mr. Park.”
“Bar, nice to meet you, Chairman!”
“Come on, sit over here.”
Park Joong-ki sat down on the sofa hesitantly at Jung In-soo’s words.
“Are you okay with coffee?”
“Yes, yes.”
“Secretary Kim, coffee here.”
Jung In-soo, who ordered the secretary to run an errand for coffee, said while looking at Park Joong-ki.
“You were protesting.”
“Well, that’s what… Yes, yes.”
“Tell me why… No, before that.”
Jung In-soo said with a bright smile.
“Can you tell me about your life?”
“… life?”
Park Joong-ki, bewildered by the unexpected question, said.
“What are you talking about… .”
“How did you live and how did you get here? I was just curious, personally.”
“ah… .”
Park Joong-ki hesitated for a moment.
“So, the dungeon situation broke out… .”
He hesitated at first, but as soon as the water is opened, Park Joong-ki speaks up like a rapid-fire cannon.
Jung In-soo, who had heard Park Joong-ki’s story, spoke in a low voice.
“… It’s similar. So it was like that.”
Park Joong-ki, who was talking excitedly, stopped and said.
“Yes?”
“no. It was a joke. Continue.”
“All right.”
* * *
President Park Joong-ki’s story was surprisingly similar to mine.
It’s just that I don’t have a family and the timing is different.
Park Joong-ki worked hard and took over his own shop, but lost everything in the back of the head.
“The person who sold the store immediately remodeled his other store next door and switched to the same business.”
“Yes.”
Based on the terrible experiences of the past, Dangjin Dungeon City gave it to the landlord on good terms, at least for the lessor.
A typical example is signing contracts with the same industry at a minimum distance to prevent duplication of sales.
However, it was the first contract to the extent that it did not prevent the contractor from changing to another business in the middle.
All the people who cause conflict are my contractors, so getting stuck in the middle is a pain in the ass.
I am not the Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, and there is no reason to worry about that.
However, he took advantage of that loophole to beat Park Joong-ki.
A method of selling out an old shop and remodeling another shop next to it to the same industry and taking away all of the original customers.
Park Joong-ki bit his lip and said.
“It was all planned, all.”
“Do you think you have a lot of money?”
“He runs more than 30 stores in this area alone. So it wouldn’t have been a problem for a guy like me to do anything.”
Listening to Park Joong-ki’s words, I was able to realize two things.
‘President Park’s favor was genuine.’
First, that last chance in a previous life was real.
If you had planned to eat me on the back like you did, there would be no way I would have paid the acquisition fee in installments.
The second is that it was also true that if I didn’t eat it, someone else would eat it, my usual theory.
‘I thought there would be no abuse because I was the owner of the building, but in the end, people do whatever it takes to eat.’
Park Joong-ki, who was talking, said with tears in his eyes.
“Chairman, I am very, very, very sorry. I just worked hard.”
The past life and the present situation are completely opposite.
I project the life of my past life in reverse from Park Joong-ki, who helped me through a life similar to mine.
“I can only give you one piece of advice.”
“… Yes?”
“Integrity does not guarantee success.”
Then, Park Joong-ki lowered his head and said.
“… Is there any way to be successful if a guy like me doesn’t even have sincerity?”
I got up from my seat and said.
“But that doesn’t mean that sincerity is to be ignored.”
Park Joong-ki has been genuinely kind to me in his past life.
The grace is doubled.
The resentment is tenfold.
taken from noblemt l
Maybe this is my first and last good deed.
Because I’ve never felt grateful to anyone other than Park Joong-ki.
“He is the one who took advantage of my unintended advantage by expediency in this city I built. That is, against my will.”
Then Park Joong-ki looked at me with a surprised expression and said,
“Well, that word… .”
“I hate them the most. The guy who puts a spoon on the table I made. I think he’s the kind of guy who flirts because he has quite a bit of money… .”
I said raising the corners of my lips.
“I’ll show you. That there is a sky above the sky.”
