Chapter 333 the devil is back (5)
The roof of the Taesung Group headquarters building.
The anti-aircraft gunners of the anti-aircraft artillery, usually deployed in tall buildings in Seoul, were watching the sky incessantly.
With the disappearance of North Korea, the collapse of North China, and the collapse of Japan, it is not known who will invade South Korea, but it was the thought of high-ranking people that a guard should be erected nonetheless.
If I had to say that the most dangerous beings in the sky in Seoul were pigeons loaded with germs, or the sky tower waiting somewhere in Incheon.
But it was the same that could not be helped by pigeons, sky towers, or anti-aircraft guns.
In the end, the air defensemen still had no choice but to stare blankly at the sky.
“Huh? What’s coming from over there?”
“What?”
The assistant shooter, who was not yet tired of boredom, suddenly found something in the western sky and said: Their eyes turned to one place.
A ray of light was flying across the top of the superstructure quickly.
it wasn’t meteor
At the same time, anti-aircraft warnings were triggered for air defense artillery units across Seoul.
As soon as the so-called hedgehog procedure began, the air defensemen had only one job to do.
Sniping that unidentified object.
Obviously, the upper level is trying to radio, and the radar is also operating. But regardless of that, the anti-aircraft artillery blew fire.
Thousands of anti-aircraft shells poured out in an instant, not only from the Taeseong headquarters, but from all over Seoul.
However, the unidentified flying object quickly broke through the anti-aircraft network and started flying across Seoul towards the air defense forces.
“Huh? Huh?”
The air defensemen were frightened and fired anti-aircraft guns, but their opponent’s speed was too fast.
quagga.
As soon as a ray of light was about to collide, the air defenseman tightly closed his eyes.
But there was no sound.
“Soldiers, I’m sorry to startle you.”
At that time, the air defense guards opened their eyes and found this building, Lee Ji-tae, one of the successors of the Taeseong group.
Right next to him, Adam Fort, who was named the world’s strongest man after the Leviathan mission, stood expressionless.
At Adam Fort’s fingertips, a bundle of anti-aircraft shells with a diameter of about 1 meter were tied together.
As she clenched her hand tightly, her large blanks exploded in unison, but neither the sound of the explosion nor the shockwave escaped.
Lee Ji-tae opened his mouth again.
“The situation was urgent and we could not ask the government for forgiveness. Is Kang Hyunmoo in this building now?”
***
“Hey, Lee Ji-tae? Adam Fort is also here, right?”
As soon as Lee Ji-tae was escorted to the waiting room where Kang Hyunmoo was, he stopped.
He couldn’t believe his eyes.
Kang Hyunmoo was standing in front of him.
Obviously, Kang Hyunmoo, who had his whole body ovulated and exhaled his last breath.
He felt Kang Hyunmoo’s heart stop and his warmth escape. He had a feeling of being half-hearted against the way he was now shamelessly alive.
Even Kang Hyunmoo was eating ramyun by himself with other people standing up casually.”how…….”
“It’s a common thing for a hunter to cross the threshold of death. You died and came back to life, right?”
Kang Hyunmoo was the cause of the near-death in the first place. He was still arrogant.
Lee Ji-tae didn’t feel like answering for some reason, so he looked around. Her older sisters, Seo-yeon Lee and Yu-min, were also present at the same seat.
“Mr. Yumin, it’s been a while.”
“It’s been a while. Lee Ji-tae.”
Lee Ji-tae approached Lee Seo-yeon.
She wasn’t worried. No, on the contrary, it looked somewhat refreshed and light.
“It’s okay, sister. I was worried.”
“Why are you afraid of being killed or tortured by Kang Hyunmoo?”
Lee Ji-tae did not deny it at all.
“Look how well you negotiated. I thought it might be difficult…”
“Your opponent must be your opponent.”
Seo-yeon Lee smiled bitterly and looked at Kang Hyunmoo.
The reason Lee Seo-yeon aimed at the South China Union was because they possessed the most powerful firepower.
Ironically, it was again the human fever period when the stars took power during the decline of the stars.
Hunters are definitely powerful, but they only play an active part in battles against monsters, and in the end, they can’t beat the firepower of the army.
There were still some people with the power of stars, but the times were returning to the human world.
And those who captured the turning point were struggling to seize power in the coming era.
Lee Seo-yeon was one of them.
But she also knew how to get on top.
She said, “The South China coalition has decided to surrender to the Almighty Ryeon. Wang Xin Liang has gone into a riot, trying to make her disappear as soon as they return.”
“South China Union?”
Lee Ji-tae made a surprised expression.
The South China Union was now close to a huge community that went beyond South China and encompassed Southeast Asia, India, Africa, and the Pacific region.
In terms of scale alone, it was comparable to Russia’s surrender to the United States.
“…you made a big concession.”
“No, this is the way to protect my position. Rather than waiting around for the day to die after losing most of my power and disintegrating, I’d rather go under a big umbrella.”
Seo-yeon Lee said as she patted her head.
“Even when the country is in ruins, there is a way to ruin it. Little brother.”
Lee Ji-tae wanted to ask if she was just a patriot, but she said from the beginning that she was Lee Seo-yeon, and she was not from China, so it was difficult to argue with her.
She thought she was all right anyway, as she seemed to be satisfied with both Lee Seo-yeon and Kang Hyunmoo.
“Can I see some related documents?”
Then Adam Fort opened her mouth.
She was now the head of Chrome.
Rather than being involved in the world situation, Chrome was moving for a more macroscopic purpose of suppressing monsters and world peace.
Therefore, it was only natural to be interested in this upheaval in the future.
“Ah, whatever.”
After saying that, Hyunmoo took out a bundle of documents that had just been used as a base for a ramen pot and held it out.
Ramen broth was dripping on the cover of the surrender document, which said that he would give up half the world.
But Adam Fort didn’t mind and read the documents quickly.
By the time Adam Fort had finished reading the document, Kang Hyunmoo had emptied his bowl of ramen.
Adam Fort put the document down and opened his mouth.
“It’s all right. Chrome agrees to this agreement. There seems to be some disagreements, but it’s something to sort out step by step.”
“You even set up a notary public like this. Okay, Adam, we’ve left the frivolous stuff over, so let’s move on to the important stuff. How have you been? How about Maria Keller?”
“Wait, Kang Hyunmoo. Aren’t I curious?”
Then, suddenly, Lee Ji-tae intervened.
Kang Hyunmoo made a dazed expression on Lee Ji-tae’s sudden sound and then nodded his head with difficulty.
“You must have been fine. Lee Ji-tae, you are old.”
“…does it look like Adam Fort is even a kitten?”
Kang Hyunmoo looked at Adam Fort.
Eyes still forged like a pale blade, an expression like armor, and a slender, muscular body over 180 centimeters that could easily knock down a few adult men even if they weren’t talented.
Even the abilities he possesses are monsters that compete for the strongest in the world.
“It’s a little ferocious, but he’s still my dog. I don’t bite my dog.”
Lee Ji-tae sighed in response to Hyunmoo’s answer, and Yu-min made a strange expression.
Adam Portman responded to Hyunmoo’s expression blankly.
“No, you broke your promise. Kang Hyunmoo.”
Hyunmoo turned his head back to Adam.
“I promised Professor Maria Keller that if I followed you until the Leviathan mission was over, I would get you safely. But Professor Keller disappeared with her priests.”
“Ah, my God. If I had been alive by then, I would have brought them with a leash, but unfortunately I was dead then.”
“It doesn’t matter. I said that if you broke your promise, you’d be better off dead.”
Lee Ji-tae was nervous.
As soon as the problem between the Almighty and the South China Union was resolved, I wondered if the conflict between Adam Fort and Kang Hyunmoo would begin.
If that were the case, a nuclear war could have turned into a funny thing.
Adam Fort stared at Hyunmoo for a while before opening his mouth.
“But the order to kill you has already been executed, and Professor Keller is nowhere to be seen.”
“So you’re going to make me worse off than dying?”
“No. You have to take responsibility and become Professor Keller’s substitute.”
Few people immediately understood Adam Fort’s bombshell declaration.
Seo-yeon Lee breathed a sigh of relief as if she had ridden her rope well, and Lee Ji-tae looked at Adam in amazement.
Yumin opened his eyes and looked at Adam. Adam turned her away from her Hyunmoo and bowed politely to her.
“But before that, I’ll have to ask your master first.”
***
At the time when Kang Hyunmoo’s return became a matter of fact for the public as well, the South China Union declared that it would come under the control of the Almighty.
The world was astonished at the unbelievable conclusion of a deal that was dramatic in the pre-war situation. In addition, Chrome announced that he would join them in time.
At this point, people thought that rather than the Almighty Ryeonna leading the world, the three forces had chosen the path of cooperating and responding to a common goal.
Of course, I didn’t think that had anything to do with Kang Hyunmoo’s return.
However, the evaluation of Kang Hyunmoo was mediocre.Kang Hyunmoo was branded the ‘worst man in the world’ in the Leviathan mission, and led mass killings in the western United States.
However, at the same time, it became known that humans who have been ‘monsterized’ are irreversible, and Kang Hyunmoo’s innocence and the existence of a ‘teacher’ were newly revealed through the active publicity of Chrome.
And in particular, the dead tend to be glorified.
Over the past three years, Kang Hyunmoo has been glorified by many to the level of a hero who saved the country or a person who sacrificed himself to save the world.
Of course, there were people who testified to Kang Hyunmoo’s evil deeds, but Almighty Ryeon was able to easily bury the rumors.
Nevertheless, the evaluation of Kang Hyunmoo was still mediocre.
Is he a devil or a savior?
The teacher, who could be said to be Kang Hyunmoo’s point of symmetry, was silent. And even at this moment, history was being written by the victors.
***
“…Did you hear that the Russian Far East rebels were wiped out overnight?”
“How did you get along with the monsters and eat them together, and that’s what happened in the end. You can’t trust monsters.”
“There was a saying that Kang Hyunmoo was behind the Demon King’s sudden movement…”
“The timing is tricky, but really? No matter how much Kang Hyunmoo moves the Demon King, it is nonsense. When the Demon King first appeared in the first place, it was Kang Hyunmoo who stopped him from going out, right?”
“But as soon as the Far East rebels disappeared, Russia declared an alliance with the Almighty Alliance. Besides, I heard that the United States, who supported the Far East rebels, is suddenly expelling our personnel one by one. There are many branches with frozen assets…”
“It’s only natural that Kang Hyunmoo is back. Chrome and the South China Union are also working together. But the situation is unsettling. What happened to former President Albert Cromford? We’re working hard to stop this happening and we’re supporting it. is not it?”
“There was talk that that Albert Cromford was exposing the alliance’s assets. Damn it. Albert is one of the top executives. If that bastard turned to Kang Hyunmoo, the American branch was completely blown away…”
“It can’t be. Albert is a huge loyalist.”
“Even if it’s not Albert, someone at a very high level is exposing our information. It’s only a matter of time before the teacher’s location is discovered.
“Comrades.”
Suddenly, someone approached and talked to the guards who were whispering and chatting about the outside situation.
The guards kept their mouths shut and tried to hide the newspaper on the table, but the newspaper had already been taken away by the owner of the voice.
The masked woman quickly scanned the newspaper, then folded it up again and placed it on the table.
“I won’t go into detail about your smuggling of external documents inside. But be careful when you tell others about it. Keep in mind where this is.”
The guards were in a cold sweat and did not respond.
Behind them was the teacher’s disciple and one of the most elite Four Heavenly Kings selected to protect him, the Red Butterfly.
“Then I think it’s time to start patrolling. Please.”
“Yes, yes!”
The guards hurried out of the break room.
The red butterfly looked at its back, sighed and looked out. She looked out the window, but did not expect greenery and the sky.
Instead, only a huge domed ceiling and underground structures were visible.
This was the North American VIP secret shelter.
Built at a depth of 300 meters underground, this bomb shelter was built as a high-level shelter for nuclear war during the Cold War.
However, when the teacher appeared and roasted American high-ranking officials, it was converted into a secret hideout exclusively for the teacher.
However, despite being armed with state-of-the-art equipment, they could not hide the smell of death inside.
It wasn’t that there was a real smell. The smell of death lurked in the whispers of people, in the graffiti in the bathroom, and in the anxious gazes.
The cause was the teacher who did not stand up for three years.
“Red Butterfly.”
Then the red butterfly heard someone calling. Park Do-ryung was standing behind her.
“I have work to do.”
