S-Class Hunter Heals with Monsters - Chapter 219



Only Krnovel

219. The recognition of the tripod of Dodak

As Cheon Do-un’s face was revealed, exclamations were heard here and there.

When Dodaki’s mask was removed, I had guessed his identity, but when I saw it with my own eyes, I was strangely moved.

“It’s the tripod.”

“It’s Mr. Tripod.”

“Dodak and Samgakdae saved people again.”

People were excited when Cheon Do-woon subdued a large monster with his bare body.

Even the active hunters couldn’t hide their surprise. Is this the skill of someone who survived the old era?

Heroes of the old days were protecting countless people in the present world as well.

“You are truly a true hero.”

Someone said. The siblings who heard that quietly turned their heads and shook their shoulders.

No one saw the siblings laughing because they were wearing paper masks.

Although people’s gazes must have been harsh, Cheon Do-woon paid no attention and looked down at Rep. Park Woo-jung.

“It’s you. The culprit who created that.”

“What, what is that…?”

“Follow me.”

After breaking the return stone, Cheon Do-woon grabbed the congressman by the collar and entered the gate.

“Hey, wait a minute. What are you trying to do… Are you crazy! Where are you going without a weapon…!”

Those were the last words left by Rep. Park Woo-jung.

As the gate closed, the surroundings became quiet. People looked at each other in confusion at the sudden situation.

“What, what is it? He brought someone into the gate.”

“They were both naked. Are they okay without weapons?”

There was some noise, but it didn’t turn into a big commotion.

There was no need to worry too much since Dodak had a tripod with him. That’s what those who witnessed the situation thought.

In it, only the Coconut Family questioned the life or death of Rep. Park Woo-jung.

“They dragged him away.”

“They dragged me away.”

“They dragged me away.”

There was a moment of silence. The group looked at the closed gate and shrugged.

“Well, I guess I’ll just hide and bring you here.”

If it’s Cheon Do-un, he’ll come after kneading it properly.

The siblings and their party returned to the tent with light hearts.

* * *

The place where Cheon Do-un opened the gate and arrived was near the volcanic area.

I didn’t go into the forest area. I didn’t want to take this kind of person to my house.

“Hey, where am I… Huh?”

Rep. Park Woo-jung covered his mouth with his sleeve as he looked at the volcano in the distance.

“Ah, a volcanic area…! What the heck, are you crazy?”

The volcanic area was full of toxic gases.

You shouldn’t even go near it because the danger zone changes depending on which way the wind is blowing.

Rep. Park Woo-jung was horrified at the opening of the gate to such a place.

If you’re unlucky, you could die from poison gas the moment you cross the gate.

“Don’t worry. This is outside the gas’s sphere of influence. When the wind is strong, the gas may blow around, but it won’t kill you.”

“What the… Don’t you know how poisonous the toxic gases in volcanic areas are? Even a little bit of it causes countless people to suffer for days and then die!”

“Really? If you’re going to die like this, there’s nothing you can do. Hang in there.”

Rep. Park Woo-jung opened his mouth at the calm words. His expression seemed to say, “What kind of person is this?”

‘Let’s run away. We have to get out of that guy’s hands first!’

Rep. Park Woo-jung immediately turned around and ran.

He didn’t know why Cheon Do-woon had brought him here, but he could tell just by looking at the situation that he had definitely not brought him here with good intentions.

It was ominous that he immediately pointed out that he was the culprit before bringing him in.

‘It was good that I brought the return stone with me. Let’s open the gate and escape from here!’

He took a small box out of his pocket. When he opened the lid, two return stones came out.

It was an item that was carried around to escape through the gate as a last resort when threatened with assassination.

‘It was a good thing I always had it with me.’

When you sit in a high position, you are bound to incur resentment. He had been preparing for such situations all along, so he took out his return stone.

He chuckled and broke the return stone.

I ran towards the gate, but at that moment my foot tripped on something and I fell.

-Whew!

At his feet stood a hawk. The moment the senator ran away, it jumped out and tripped on the branch of the World Tree.

Dodaki looked back at Cheon Do-un.

-Ouch, oh yeah!

I caught the interest. Dodak pointed to Rep. Park Woo-jung with that face.

While Cheon Do-woon was laughing, the congressman did not give up and broke the second return stone.

‘Let’s go to a place where there are a lot of people! If we go to a place like that, even if they follow me, there’s nothing we can do about it!’

Rep. Park Woo-jung tried to roll his body in as the second gate opened.

-Beep… Medicine!

This time, it was Sasa who stepped forward. Sasa jumped on top of the councilman. His body grew in the air and returned to its original size.

There was a loud thud as the bird landed. Park Woo-jung, who was stepped on by the giant chick’s legs, let out a scream and let out his breath.

-Beep!

The man who had stepped on the assemblyman looked back at Dodak and Cheon Do-un.

I wish I could be praised too. Sasa’s eyes sparkled with that expression.

-Ouch, oh yeah!

How brave! Dodaki praised the bravery of the priest.

“Good job. The kids are doing so well that I don’t have to step up.”

When he heard Cheon Do-un’s praise, the hair on Sasa’s head stood on end. The three flowers on his head also swayed pleasantly.

The congressman watching it was just creepy. What on earth is that thing that steps on a person? How could that small creature grow so big?

Everything was questionable, but I was too afraid to ask a single question.

Cheon Do-woon approached the struggling member of parliament.

“You’re well-prepared, carrying a return stone. Nice try.”

However, since the opponent was Cheon Do-woon, whatever I did was a meaningless struggle.

“What should I ask first? So, you’re the one who released the chimera in the slums, right?”

“What, what does that mean!”

“You created an illegal chimera research lab and experimented with this and that, right?”

“No! Make sense. I am also the vice president of K&K Chimera Rental Company. There is no reason for me to open an illegal research lab!”

“You must have wanted to do research that was prohibited by law.”

He was struck dumb for a moment.

Did he do some background check on himself? I couldn’t understand why the old-time hunter had such a grudge against me.

‘Should I be more picky?’

No, those are the eyes of someone who is already convinced. If you lie any more here, you never know what will happen.

The opponent is a rascal who immediately drags people to the demon world.

He knew from long experience that someone who acts rashly like that is more dangerous than someone who threatens with a knife.

“What do you want from me?”

Rep. Park Woo-jung asked, observing the situation. Before he knew it, his tone had become more polite.

“You’re quick to grasp the situation.”

I like the fact that you’re quick-witted. Cheon Do-woon smiled at him.

“A fake gate in the playground. Who made that?”

“I don’t know. I bought it on the black market, so I haven’t seen its face.”

“It’s a black market. What’s the contact method?”

Rep. Park Woo-jung took out a business card from his wallet.

“This is the contact information I received when I bought the item. It’s probably a fake business card that’s only used on the black market, but if you contact me, I’ll be able to meet the person who made it.”

Cheon Do-woon received the business card and looked at it.

It was a business card with only a phone number written on it, without a name or anything else.

That was enough. He smiled as he got a clue from the director of the research center in an unexpected place.

Now that the first matter was over, it was time to look at the second matter.

“When you go back, bring me a slum development plan.”

“Huh? What’s that all of a sudden…?”

“You hired people to get rid of the slums. Don’t do useless things. Develop them as much as possible from their current state. Build schools, build hospitals. Use everything you can.”

Rep. Park Woo-jung was unable to say anything.

How much does that person know? I broke out in a cold sweat as he spoke as if he knew all of my plans.

“I’ll tell you in advance. Our kids don’t have good feelings toward illegal research labs. Your punishment will depend on how well you do what you’re told.”

His voice was flat. But the moment he saw Cheon Do-woon’s eyes, his spine tingled.

“Isn’t this what it would feel like to lie down inside a monster’s mouth?” he said in a trembling voice.

“Father, I did run an illegal laboratory, but I didn’t do any biological experiments. I just created chimeras without reporting them so I wouldn’t have to pay taxes… That’s why I did it. It’s been closed for a long time now.”

It wasn’t something to brag about.

But you have to tell it as it is to survive. The congressman, who intuitively felt this, spoke desperately.

“I don’t think it’s a lie.”

Pupils and heart rate showed that Rep. Park Woo-jung was telling the truth.

Cheon Do-woon smeared his mana on his body. The eerie aura made the doctor sweat coldly again.

“Don’t even think about running away until you finish what you’re told.”

“Oh, of course.”

Rep. Park Woo-jung nodded.

Even if he ran away, the author would chase him to the ends of hell. He was sure of that because of the energy of heavenly fortune that was on his body.

“Okay. Then I’ll go back now. You go and finish the festival.”

“A festival? In this situation?”

“Of course. We can’t stop here.”

They came looking forward to participating in the sports day.

Since this was my first ever sports day, I had to watch the closing ceremony properly.

The congressman, who did not know that, looked dumbfounded at being told to proceed with the festival in this situation.

‘I can’t read your thoughts. It was the same when you crossed the gate naked… Is that the basic level of intelligence you need to have to survive in the old days?’

I nodded while thinking that.

I don’t know what it is, but let’s do as we’re told. If we get out of favor with that guy, the rest of our lives will be miserable.

Having sat in the House of Representatives and seen many people, he trusted his instincts.

* * *

Cheon Do-woon opened the gate in front of the tent and came out with the shrunken Sasa.

Because the surroundings were so noisy, few people noticed their return.

“Well, then I’ll go now.”

Rep. Park Woo-jung fled from his seat.

Cheon Do-woon, who was watching that, snickered and went into the tent.

“Oh oh, the old man is here!”

Kim Na-ri, who discovered Cheon Do-un, ran towards him with a happy face. The siblings and their group also approached him with curious faces.

“What happened?”

“Good job. I found out the director’s number. That was an unexpected boon.”

Cheon Do-woon showed the business card he had received.

The siblings, Seok Woo-hyuk and number 49 looked at the business card with complicated expressions.

It felt strange that the one who had twisted their lives was still alive.

I wonder if he’s happy that he got a chance to beat him up, or if he’s upset that such a guy is still alive and well.

They had a hard time knowing which emotion they were feeling.

“I’ll think about it later when I find out about the director of the research center. For now, I have to first achieve the purpose of coming here.”

“If that’s the purpose… that’s right. I heard that D might be one of the festival judges.”

D in TDA. Commonly known as Dando. The research institute’s general instructor.

I had to make sure he was really there as a judge.

“If he’s here too, we’ll be killing two at once at this festival.”

The research institute director hadn’t been caught yet, but now that he had a clue, it was as good as in his hands.

Cheon Do-woon laughed at his siblings’ words.

“There’s something more important than catching D.”

“What’s more important?”

“We should enjoy the festival. Everyone wanted to participate in the sports day, right?”

“It would be good if we could do it to the end… but given the circumstances, wouldn’t it be stopped?”

“It won’t stop.”

The group turned around at the voice that suddenly interrupted.

There stood a man with a familiar face wearing a ‘judge’ badge.

Park Soo-kwon. A government S-class agent who was once kidnapped by the Coconut Family.

He was also invited to attend the festival as a judge.

“I almost screamed in surprise when I saw you earlier. I didn’t know you would be joining us. I’m glad to see you here.”

“Yeah. I see you here. By the way, you said the festival will continue? Is it already decided?”

“Yes. Thanks to the teacher’s quick response, no one was hurt.”

As it was a festival for the awakened, the participants and onlookers did not evacuate due to this level of incident.

“Above all, look at that.”

Park Soo-kwon pointed outside. There, other teams were loitering around the Coconut Family’s tent.

The AA team, which was particularly hostile, glared and wiggled their fingers.

They would scratch their heads in frustration as they recalled their bad attitudes.

Park Soo-kwon said while looking at it.

“It’s an honor to be able to compete against S-class hunters from the old days. I’m sure the participants don’t care about winning anymore.”

I just want to play the game with Dodak and Tripod.

If I may be a little greedy, I wish I could give them each one a piece of advice.

He is the one who raised Nam Ki-seok, who was known as a perennial B-class hunter, to A-class.

He didn’t stop there, he declared that he would make you an S-class hunter. If it was advice from someone like that, you wouldn’t be able to buy it even if you paid ten million gold.

‘It was fate that we met like this.’

‘I wonder if something like a casual remark can lead to enlightenment or something like that.’

The participants looked at Cheon Do-un with excited faces.

I hoped that if I had even a little connection during the game, I would be able to learn something.

‘Why can’t I go to hell and be impatient?’

Nam Gi-seok, Seok Woo-hyeok, and number 49 looked at those people with pity.
