The Hunter of the Other World Who Is Being Misunderstood - Chapter 340

Episode 340. I’m going to retire (3)

It would be better to leave even the totem alone for now.

At least from a Korean perspective.

Besides, anyway, if that’s an apple, then it’s an apple.

He knelt down and expressed his regret as best he could.

‘At least that’s what he says.’

So what’s the point of me making any more fuss here?

‘It’s no fun trying to brainwash someone into begging. There’s absolutely no benefit to be gained.’

It’s a remark that would be distasteful to hear, but in fact, Kang Chang-ho’s opinion is correct.

The human heart cannot be easily obtained through money or violence.

Even if such an intangible thing were created through simple means, what would be created would be at best simple forms of appreciation.

thus.

‘Yes. That’s right. It’s difficult for others to obtain a person’s sincerity on their own.’

Now that it’s come to this.

There is a change of plans.

‘But what if we get the human exterior?!’

I finally realized.

At least for now, it is impossible to make Kang Chang-ho truly repent.

‘I haven’t looked into it myself, so I haven’t seen it yet, but Kang Chang-ho, there must be a problem somewhere in his frontal lobe. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to keep up such a dogged stance.’

Even if the other party were to be tortured and have their money taken away, it seemed likely that they would just let it go and say, “No problem.”

I was convinced as I watched him talk crazy without even blinking.

So I immediately hatched another scheme.

‘I was feeling uneasy about this body that would crack even if I used just a little bit of advanced magic. This is a good thing!’

If you think about it, this side hasn’t tested body transfer to an S-class hunter yet.

The plan that’s floating around in my head right now is this.

Even though Kang Chang-ho looks like that, his emotional system is not completely psychopathic.

He certainly gets angry sometimes, which is normal.

And the most representative example of this is the incident in front of the Incheon sea.

To be precise, it is an act of betraying expectations.

‘When a plan that had been established ten years in advance goes awry, the other side is definitely angry.’

I racked my brain, remembering an incident that Kang Chang-ho reacted particularly strongly to.

Now, I’ve pretty much forgotten everything that happened in the past and I’ve pretended to forgive.

What would happen if we hit the back of that mammal’s head in the distant future?

‘If he’s that rich, I think he’d have planned out how he’d spend his old age.’

When others are finishing their lives in a stable manner, aliens suddenly come and say, “You committed sins in the past but repented too lightly. So, you will be punished now.” and take your life a little early.

I was convinced after some imagination.

Even if he were Kang Chang-ho, he would be hit hard if something like that happened.

‘If you hold a grudge for about 50 years and then take revenge, the people of Earth won’t be able to predict it, right?’

Besides, this side also committed fraud with [Knight’s Oath].

I was concerned about him getting angry and pressuring me unilaterally, but this kind of minor behavior turned out to be a very appropriate way for the Archmage to relieve stress.

If you’re just killing old mammals, then it’s not really that great of an evil deed!

‘hmm.’

… … Is it not so?

‘But I still need a body for insurance purposes.’

But from my perspective as an alien, I ultimately had no choice but to prioritize necessity over conscience.

Rather, this is a kind of forgiveness that Alphauri has.

I originally planned to just hang that egoist on the street, but if he lowers the level of revenge to this level with just one kneeling, I can’t help but think it’s merciful.

“Now that it’s done, get up.”

“okay.”

Now is the time.

‘It’s almost time to be discharged.’

First, I made Kang Chang-ho stand up with a hand gesture.

‘You primitive bastard, the Archmage has just decided to use your body as insurance, so take good care of it from now on.’

I wonder if there will be any sincere repentance when they go to take the body away.

‘Quit smoking, eat a Mediterranean diet, exercise three times a week… … The moment you pay your Silvertown deposit with peace of mind, I’ll take revenge on you. I’ll go find you, kill you, and use you as a spare golem.’

Heh heh heh.

After I finished arguing all the details, I told them the final schedule that needed to be decided and left the meeting.

Give detailed instructions to Kang Chang-ho on what he needs to help with in the future.

Also double-check the account number to receive the building compensation that has been confirmed.

***

It’s a surprisingly moderate ending.

“… … .”

No. Can we really consider this a good ending?

From someone’s perspective, the Awakened person that they had persecuted so much suddenly returned to a state that was ridiculously above the average of S-class.

‘Oh. So the increase in awakening level that I had only guessed at was actually possible.’

A question arises in one person’s mind.

‘And someone who was originally strong broke through the limit of growth. He even won 1:3 against Beast?’

Of course, the negative trend ended there.

‘Well, as you live, this kind of thing happens and that kind of thing happens… ‘

What good is it to dwell on past assaults?

The third S-class hunter in Korea.

Kang Chang-ho decided to just be thankful that his previous contractor was a great person.

I just paused for a moment because I was in pain.

The opponent was originally rated as an S-rank, but now his power seems to have increased even further.

Because I didn’t repay you for that.

Considering that the matter was resolved by just kneeling down, it seems that Kim Ki-ryeo had nothing to do with the creation of the gate.

Kang Chang-ho stood in a familiar room, gathering his thoughts.

An empty living room without any furniture.

A huge painting, the only thing hanging on a white wall.

This was Kim Ki-ryeo’s residence, which he had visited before.

Through the wide glass windows, you can see the swimming pool, and there is no dusty wooden furniture, indicating that you have stayed there relatively often.

Thud, thud, thud.

Kang Chang-ho changed into indoor slippers and moved to the second living room of the house.

“… … !”

Then, somewhere in the hallway of the next room, someone suddenly appeared, bowing.

“… … ! … … !!”

Its identity is that of a middle-aged human with gray hair.

“… … .”

A person who looked like a chauffeur or an office worker, judging by the suit he was wearing, immediately made a gesture.

He was holding a cell phone in one hand.

In addition, he was now pushing the text on the screen towards Kang Chang-ho.

-Welcome!

All I can see is that they received a call saying they were coming and were waiting.

“okay.”

But despite the strong welcome, the response was dry.

The landlord continued walking, keeping an eye on the person waiting inside.

This is because the destination of this third S-class was the kitchen attached to the second living room.

-Jiiiiiiiiii… … .

-Dududududud.

As soon as Kang Chang-ho arrived at the kitchen, he turned on the coffee machine.

And while the coffee beans were being crushed in the machine, I had a moment to think about it.

‘Kim Ki-ryeo is the one who broke the limit.’

Even amidst the loud noise, the man’s thoughts were clear.

‘And even if you put aside the fact that he explained that the protective skill was activated by default, is that simple water attribute ability strong enough to submerge all the monsters and kill them?’

[Improvement] was a method of inheriting the level of the stolen skill.

If it is revealed that the human skill stone that was previously contracted is incredibly excellent… … .

Common sense tells us that the owner of [the desire for improvement] would react in this way.

“Ah. If I had known this would happen, I would have just killed him when I had the chance.”

Ddddddddddd.

In front of a loud machine.

A man waiting for his coffee to be poured began to talk.

“I didn’t know he was this capable.”

“… … ?”

“But as if you didn’t take every opportunity you had, now you’ve even declared that you’re personally breaking the contract.”

His eyes were slightly wide open and his mouth was hanging open, an expression that gave the man the remorse he had been hoping for from some green alien.

“oh my god.”

Of course, his attitude wasn’t very serious.

Kang Chang-ho pretended to sigh briefly, then immediately focused on his original purpose.

I held the cup and waited for about a minute, then turned around only after I had received all the extracted coffee.

It was to make eye contact with the visitor who followed her to the kitchen.

“… … .”

“… … .”

But despite having the basics of conversation, the two men remained silent for a while.

Hehe.

The settled silence is broken by an S-class hunter.

Kang Chang-ho immediately let out a hollow laugh. Only when the sound died down did he start small talk.

“By the way, I have something to ask you.”

The aroma of the espresso he was holding slowly spreads.

“It seems like Kim Ki-ryeo isn’t that interested in prolonging his life. A reporter I’m sure told me that he collapsed and lost all his blood as soon as he cleared the dungeon.”

“… … .”

“No, well. I was planning to use my strength again, even though my body is like that if I overdo it.”

“… … .”

“I think I should meet the people who brought Beast to Korea or something.”

“… … .”

“Well, judging from his actions so far, his intentions are obvious. He’s probably worried that other people in the industry will get hurt by something like this again. He’s probably taking care of the bomb himself.”

Kang Chang-ho added, sipping coffee with white crema floating on it.

“It’s so special.”

His expression is smiling, but as expected, it is not a positive expression, as is his personality.

“But it would be a bit much if someone with that level of awakening were to die somewhere while trying to help others.”

[Improvement] is activated only when you defeat a strong person with your own hands.

Based on that information, it is understandable that some people might take the sacrifices made by industry professionals negatively.

“It’s such a waste.”

Then a wicked plan came out of his mouth.

“… … Now, should I take this opportunity to sneak a peek with [Dragon’s Eye] again?”

Anyway, the promise to stop watching was a verbal one, so there was no binding force.

Soon, a topic completely opposite to what we had discussed in the hospital room began to flow.

Kang Chang-ho could have broken his promise at any time if he had abandoned his conscience.

There is no way to detect the [Dragon’s Eye] that is looking at a person within the common sense of the Earth. This is because it is difficult for the victim to detect unauthorized tracking.

“Awakened people won’t live long anyway. So, if someone who needs them uses them… … .”

So, should we continue to conduct secret surveillance in the future?

Especially when someone is on the verge of death, like in [Six-legged Corridor], he runs towards them in a hyena-like manner.

“Well, I guess that won’t work.”

The fantasy ended there.

Was everything I said so far a joke?

The owner of the mansion changed his attitude in an instant.

However, the listener to this conversation was clearly 20 years older than him, but strangely enough, Kang Chang-ho was still using low-level language up until this very moment.

“Oh, right.”

The next words flowed out without any time to resolve the question.

This was because he still had many issues to resolve.

Like the leftover files that remain whenever a program is deleted, past contracts still drag on.

But additionally, I have hope that if I just finish this request, my troublesome relationship will be sorted out.

“Anyway, as you can see from the story, that gentleman Kim Ki-ryeo has something to deal with regarding the Beast case next. So, please make plans to enter the country illegally in advance.”

“… … .”

“The final destination is the United States. So we’ll need a vehicle to get there.”

Kang Chang-ho finished his coffee.

After giving all the instructions, he turned [Dragon’s Eye] out the window.

Just like any other rich man’s garden, it’s covered in plants.

I just noticed it now, but the trees I planted there had already turned red and dark leaves.

Kang Chang-ho personally didn’t like September very much.

However, most Koreans welcome the arrival of fall.

Because the weather at this time of year is better than the summer heat where you can’t breathe and sweat pours down like rain.

“Prepare what I just said as quickly as possible.”

“… … .”

“By the way, it’s already fall. Now that I think about it, the weather has gotten a lot cooler, so it’ll be easy for you to work for a while.”

Bam.

Kang Chang-ho placed the empty coffee cup on the sink.

And as he approached the hallway, he lightly touched the person standing there.

He was the one who had been listening to the conversation unilaterally until now.

“Now, even things like this can be covered up with thick, long pants.”

In addition, the area where Kang Chang-ho touched the opponent’s ankle was near the ankle.

Oddly enough, there was a ticking noise coming from the spot where his toes and his opponent’s ankles met.

This wasn’t human skin, it was more like the sound of kicking something like plastic.

“Would you be angry if I did this?”

Immediately after, Kang Chang-ho says this to a person who seems to be twenty years older than him.

But the person who heard the question just nodded his head with great caution.

The S-class hunter who saw him said with a smile.

“Thank goodness. If you had said yes, I would have ripped out your tongue.”

Those were the man’s last words.

“Anyway, you’re always so perceptive. You’re really good at socializing… … .”

After leaving such a complimentary and lavish sentence, Kang Chang-ho disappeared into the end of the hallway carrying his luggage on his back.

So I couldn’t see the servant swallowing his tears pitifully.
