“Is there something that you want to say?” Jaehwang asked.
The guy in the suit then lowered his head. Finding a level six hunter was actually something that he should be thankful for.
Jaehwang then looked to Mr. Song and asked, “Why haven’t you told me about any of this?”
Although he knew that there wasn’t much he could do, he could have simply called him at least. The reason he was there was to decorate the cabin but now he couldn’t because he’s now stuck helping them. But even so, he wasn’t surprised to come and see something like that happening.
“It all happened so fast…… and…… You’re still my grandson, I should look after you more.” Even though Jaehwang was an adult, he was still just a little boy to Mr. Song but, to resolve the current situation, he had to accept the fact that he’s no longer a kid that he used to be.
“Are you okay?”
“My head doesn’t feel so good but that’s all.”
“Alright, that’s a relief.” Jaehwang then gave the village people some food. After they finished up eating, he went up the mountain to get to the cabin. He was a bit nervous on his way up due to what just happened and he then heard his phone ring.
—Hello, Jaehwang. This is the hunter leader, Yoo Han Song.
Said a guy’s voice through the phone. Jaehwang was the first person he called after hearing the news because Jaehwang was the VVIP of the team.
—Hi, Yoo Han Song.
—I’m calling to say thanks for all your help Jaehwang.
Yoo Han politely thanked Jaehwang.
—There’s something I want to ask you. Now that I’m one of the managers how much will I be making?
Jaehwang asked and team leader, Yoo Han’s voice lightly stiffened. That definitely a very sensitive thing to ask about.
—Is it that important for you to know right now? Let’s meet up so we can talk about it.
—Alright. How does tomorrow sound?
—That will be great.
—Okay then, it’s set.
Jaehwang replied. Due to the fact that Jaehwang wasn’t the type of person that would always spend his money, he barely had any idea on what to do with it.
—I’ll be on my way to Incheon station.
—Okay,
—Also, is there a chance that you could do me a favor? I was hoping that you could negotiate for us about this special weapon.
—Sure. Where should I go and who should I meet?
Yoo Han gave him the instructions before he dropped the call. Jaehwang then made a call to someone else after that call ended.
—Vice president, hello.
—Jaehwang! What are you doing calling so suddenly?
The vice president of the hunter team answered with a happy and surprised voice.
—I’m calling to ask for a bit of a favor.
—Sure, what is it?
The Vice president replied. Thankfully for Jaehwang, he already seemed willing to help.
—It’s not anything too crazy……
Jaehwang explained everything to him and after he was finished, the Vice president replied,
—Well, I don’t know what we could do, I’m sorry. We’ll definitely have to think of something and take care of this before things get worse.
—Alright, thanks.
Jaehwang replied. Things still needed to be sorted out before they could even go over everything to find a solution to fix it.
—This is all because of that stupid president of ours. He needs to learn how to take responsibility for these things.
—I know. But, thanks for your help.
If the president were to take responsibility and do something about it then Jaehwang wouldn’t have to deal with it all on his own.
—Is that all you need?
He then looked around after Jaehwang finished talking as someone could have overheard their conversation. Jaehwang then said,
—I have an idea that I need your opinion on.
—An idea?
He asked and Jaehwang explained to him his entire plan. Jaehwang told him about his plan to remodel the cabin and although he would need a lot of money for it, he wasn’t worried about it at the moment.
—Wow, you’re redecorating your family’s old home. Do you have everything already prepared to start the remodeling?
—Not quite. But the purpose of this is for me to have a relaxing place where me and my friends could hang out.
—Like when you used to hang out with your friends there back in the day? Sounds great. Is there any I could do if you need any help?
—Well actually, there is. I did ask for help from the team leader but I didn’t want to interfere with anything important.
—I totally understand. Since there were a lot of hunters nearby that area, I’ll send an advanced team of hunters to help you catch them and keep everything safe.
—Alright, thanks.
Jaehwang replied happily.
—I’ll also send a present with them.
—A present?
—Yes. Don’t even think about refusing it. I want you to have it.
—Alright, thanks in advance I guess?
Jaehwang said. He had no idea what the present would be but he still thanked him and after saying their goodbyes, the phone call ended.
The next day Jaehwang woke up at dawn and went up to the mountain. After eating breakfast, he hesitated to even go near his parents’ grave.
Everything about the cabin still looked just as it did years ago. Thanks to Mr. Song who would go up to the cabin and clean it occasionally, everything still looked just fine. He went to his parents’ grave and saw that they were taken care of with the weeds being pulled out and the grass being mowed. The shrine had also been kept dust free and organized. Although it was cold on the mountains, the shrine seemed to be filled with a cozy warm energy.
Jaehwang greeted the ancestral tablets with a smile. He went to change his clothes and after that, he grabbed a broom and started sweeping the floor.
“I should clean up a little.”
“Why did you summon me!”
—You’ll help too.
Jaehwang replied to the spirit who didn’t seem too happy about his idea.
“Hurry.”
“Ugh,” the spirit replied.
“I really hate cleaning……”
“Don’t you want to buy some chocolates later?”
“Fine, I’ll clean up,” the spirit said.
They were able to finish up by noon. The cabin was very big but having two people cleaning it greatly reduced the time that it needed to finish it. Jaehwang was setting the table for lunch until he heard something from outside. He immediately went to see what it was and saw a helicopter flying in the air over the cabin.
“A helicopter is here……”
It remained fifty meters in the air as it circled around the cabin. Soon, the helicopter landed and a man and a woman wearing a business attire stepped out of it.
The woman came out first as she held a very powerful weapon in her hands. She then walked towards Jaehwang and greeted him.
“We have been sent here to assist you.”
“Ooh, so you’re the special advanced team he said that he was going to send.”
“Yes, nice to meet you. starting from today, we will be here to help with the hunting and whatever else you might need.”
“Thank you for your help,” Jaehwang said and returned the greeting. She then handed him a document.
“If this isn’t the newest model then our vice president would ask you to send something else. You have to sign here……”
“Huh?” Jaehwang said as he was confused. The women then replied simply saying,
“This is the gift that the vice president wanted you to have.”
“The gift for me?”
“Yes. If you don’t like it then……”
“No no, that’s not it,” Jaehwang said as he shook his head. It was quite a big gift and he really did appreciate the vice president sending it. Of course, he didn’t really need a helicopter but it could come in handy. A lot of high-ranked hunters had a helicopter.
“All of the expenses has been handled and now it’s all yours.”
“Wow, thank you so much.”
Since they can’t find a safe place to park his helicopter, they went down and into the town to find some space. After that, Jaehwang and his team went back into the cabin.
***
A big ten-floor building was in the middle of a small town located on the outskirts of Seoul. In front of the building was a luxury car that made a sudden stop.
Click……
They heard the sound of an office door opening and they soon saw a middle-aged man walk through it.
“B-Boss,” said a woman who was looking down on her phone. She then stood up from her chair and greeted the boss. The woman then noticed that he smelled of alcohol.
“Miss Kim! Didn’t I say that if someone comes to see me then just say I’m not coming in today?!”
“Oh, um. Right, I must have forgotten,” the woman replied and a guy then ran through the office door.
“Hurry…… Hurry!!” He ran towards the door and opened up a safe that was hidden on the wall.
Click
The safe opened up and the guy began to look inside of it.
“This can’t be…… This can’t be……”
The guy’s name was Park SongDu. He wasn’t tall and didn’t have any noticeable muscles but he was quite stable and calm, most of the time at least. He was currently regretting going out to have a drink with the boss. That morning, he realized that it was best to avoid those activities.
Nothing to Lose 4, The end.
