‘This is hard.’


  This was not an easy task, he was a hunter with superhuman healing skills but he was still having a hard time. His strength was good and still increasing, however, he still wanted to get stronger so he didn’t slack off on his training.

  Ever since he came back from that raid, all he did was train. He felt like he could have done a lot better on it and that made him more and more anxious.

  ‘I can’t stop here.’


  A strong sense of pride had grown in him despite him knowing that he was very powerful and capable of much more than he thought.

  Other hunters would be fine with their skills and go on raids without worrying but Jaehwang had a bigger goal. He wanted to be able to confidently take down a monster no matter how high the level of it was.

  ‘Those Oaks in Justin Point were able to catch my arrows with their hands’ He wanted to improve so he could be strong enough to avoid something like that and after taking a shower, he wore his training clothes and went back to pick up where he left off.

  “Jaehwang”


  There was a girl waiting in front of the training center.

  “What are you doing today?” he replied.

  The person standing in front of the training center was Rumi. She used to be his escort but she returned back to her original position. “I’m here by the request of Chonggwan.”


  “Chonggwan?” Jaehwang asked as a reply. He remembered hearing that name when it was mentioned before by Mr. Hwang.

  “He said that he needs to talk to you.”


  “Okay,” Jaehwang replied. He followed Rumi and they soon walked into a building to get to Chonggwan’s office.

  “Welcome, Jaehwang.” Chonggwan seemed happy as Jaehwang walked into the office.

  There were a lot of ceramics in his office and he had a flower pot on his table. In the center of the room lies a large center table that had a set of chairs on each side. Chonggwan then stood from his seat to shake his hand before he sat back down.

  “Come on, take a seat.”


  “Yes, sir.”


  “Have some water,” Chonggwan said as he reached out to him.

  “You did a great job in the Alousu. I’m impressed. Would you like some tea leaves?”


  “Sure,” Jaehwang replied and took a sip from his drink. He was surprised by the taste as it was something that he’d never tasted before. Those tea leaves felt like a breath of fresh air at the moment he drank it. “Wow, it’s great.”


  He wasn’t the type who would usually have tea but he could get addicted to that one.

  “We found the tea’s natural flavor but it’s still lacking. We don’t know it would need something special to complete it. That’s why I called you here,” Chonggwan said and handed him a compilation of files.

  Jaehwang opened the document, he slowly read through them all before he placed them back onto the table. “You’re connected to so many companies as well as with the Americans, why did you call me?”


  The files came from the National Hunter Association in America. The contents were very simple and he could easily find a fully equipped person for the job but, he decided to call Jaehwang instead. Of course, his name wasn’t written on the documents but it felt like its content was made for him.

  “You were most likely recommended by the officials because of all the good work you’ve done in the past,” Chonggwan said.

  “I guess so,” Jaehwang replied.

  All the fights and raids that he’s done in the past had gotten a lot of attention from everyone. However, he wished that he wasn’t involved in this. The task involved fighting the Oaks and they were known for their cruelty, especially when they were all rallied together.

  “But why do I have to do it?” He asked and Chonggwan replied,

  “If you do this then you’ll get so much more positive media influence.”


  “I see,” Jaehwanged answered.

  He already showed off his talents so many times that he was starting to feel a bit pressured to be so amazing all the time. He felt like everyone’s eyes were onto him.

  “With that being said, I think it would be great to at least think about the official’s request.”


  “Huh?” Jaehwang didn’t completely understand what he had said.

  “We have our connections to the American corporations so you can find out the reason behind this. It’ll be fun. The head official also had a daughter there in America and she could help. We can safely send you over to her in her hometown.”


  “What is the reason for this?” Jaehwang asked again.

  “Because at the beginning of time, everyone was overtaken by greed and we can’t let that happen anymore. With that being said, there is one problem……”


  “A problem?”


  “She could fall in love with you.”


  “What?” Jaehwang asked with a confused tone.

  “Just as I said. Our goal is to get her to join you on a mission in the Alousu.”


  “I don’t want to.” Jaehwang shook his head. He didn’t want to go back to the Alousu because he knew that he would somehow run into Songjae once again.

  Besides, he had to find the traces of his family. He didn’t know if they were any survivors but it was confirmed and he thought that that person inherited their family’s strength. Even so, it felt like he was being dragged back into the Alousu again and again, he didn’t want that.

  After Jaehwang’s refusal, Chonggwan’s facial expression became more serious.

  “It isn’t that simple. They have been waiting a long time for this chance. They have no base compared to us Koreans, they need our help. We have to find her and they don’t have the capability to prepare for us.” He took a sip of his water before he followed, “They are counting on you, Jaehwang. If you can keep her safe then we will be on the very good side of the American corporations.”


  “I’m not interested in any of this.” Jaehwang refused his request again.

  “Even Gwanjae’s people can help.”


  “My answer stays the same.”


  “It will be an easy mission with Gwanjae’s soldiers.” He tried his best to convince Jaehwang to accept the mission but nothing was making him change his mind.

  “Even if Gwanjae personally asked me, my answer would stay the same.”


  “I’m not finished talking yet!” Chonggwan shouted in anger.

  “Until now, I have received much more from them than I thought I could ever give.”


  “And?”


  “Well, I want to do something about it……”


  “They’re my enemy,” Jaehwang said, Chonggwan looked surprised but a hint of anger still remained on his face. He then replied, coldly asking,

  “What is that supposed to mean?”


  “Exactly what I said.”


  For a moment, the sound of the clock on the wall filled the room. Chonggwan then eventually spoke.

  “Is this because of the Daehyeon’s clan involvement?”


  “That is one of the reasons. Yes.” Jaehwang already got his revenge on Songjae thanks to Gwanjae’s plan so he didn’t want to dwell on that anymore. Although he didn’t want to go back on his word, he also didn’t want to let anyone down.

  “I have one question,” Chonggwan asked.

  “What is it?”


  “Did you get revenge on the head of the Daehyeong group?”


  “Not as of now.” His answer wasn’t exactly right but it wasn’t wrong either. Just as he planned, the only person that he got revenge on was Songjae.

  “So who was it then?” Chonggwan asked curiously.

  “The only person I wanted to get revenge on was Songjae. So that was all I did.” Jaehwang answered. Chonggwan then took a deep breath.

  “Of course, you have plans of your own.” He said, still holding back his temper.

  “Did you finish the test?” Jaehwang asked, Chonggwan then smiled and replied.

  “Yes, it’s finished.

  Another Death, The end.
