Chapter 330
“We have no choice,” Ji Yoo Kim said with a bitter smile, but Min Sung had no intention to agree with Ji Yoo Kim’s thoughts or bring it to action.
“I’m not going to worry about that kind of stuff.”
Ji Yoo Kim looked at Min Sung with a surprised face. Min Sung swallowed the rest of the wine that remained in his glass.
“What are you thinking of doing then?”
Ji Yoo Kim watched Min Sung with nervous eyes.
“First…”
Min Sung thought for a moment before opening his mouth while looking at Ji Yoo Kim with cold eyes.
“We need to gather the presidents and hunter leaders in one place.”
“And then?”
“Arrange a gathering. I’ll take care of the rest.”
Min Sung got up from his seat, and at the same time…
“That was a great steak and wine.”
After his evaluation, he left the restaurant without looking back.
Ho Sung Lee watched Min Sung while letting out a long sigh.
He then looked at Ji Yoo Kim, and Ho Sung Lee felt a little embarrassed.
Min Sung was a hunter that he served, but Ho Sung Lee shook his head at the thought of how cold he was.
Ho Sung Lee looked at Ji Yoo Kim, and Ji Yoo Kim smiled after much thought.
“Shall we have another glass?” Ho Sung Lee asked.
Her face was smiling, but it was obvious to Ho Sung Lee that she was angry.
***
The next morning, Ji Yoo Kim had a headache from the alcohol. Since she had a low tolerance, she went overboard the night before.
And there was a reason.
‘Arrange a meeting. I’ll take care of the rest.’ Min Sung’s words were very hurtful to Ji Yoo Kim.
But she understood.
No, she had to.
The only reason why the world refound its peace was because he existed.
And since he was the most powerful human, everything he said was the law.
So since what he wanted to do wasn’t even inhumane, he had no choice but to follow along.
However, as the commander of Central Insitute, she still couldn’t help feeling anxious, worried, and afraid of Min Sung Kang’s advance.
Rash decisions often led to wildfires, but he wasn’t one who never listened to others.
He knew what to listen to.
‘I have to trust him.’
Ji Yoo Kim clenched her fists. She dropped her head and let out a sigh.
“He’s such a difficult person.”
Ji Yoo Kim then laughed.
“I should get back to work.”
Ji Yoo Kim got ready to do what she had to do.
Nothing was going to change by worrying about things she couldn’t control.
Ji Yoo Kim entered a portal site and began writing emails.
After finishing the email, she dripped in cold sweat. She tilted her head and sighed out of nervousness.
Korea was less influential than many powerful nations.
So the fact that they now had control over the entire world was fascinating, hard to get used to, and she couldn’t believe what she was writing as if this wasn’t reality.
“I can’t believe I’m writing this email.”
Ji Yoo Kim smiled bitterly as she continued.
***
The email sent out by the commander of Central Institute was enough to flip countries upside down.
That was because historically, Korea asking for all presidents and hunter leaders to gather in one place was unheard of.
For that reason, each government and hunter association went into an emergency alert.
That was because they had to figure out Korea’s intent and prepare for countermeasures.
But the email included a date when they would meet, and it also mentioned that if they didn’t attend, there would be consequences.
“How dare Korea…”
“The governments and hunter leaders in one place?”
“What are they doing?”
The presidents and hunter leaders didn’t hide their discomfort, but that didn’t mean any of them intended to skip the event.
The date was exactly 3 days afterward.
The summon was forceful without any consideration of their schedules.
***
Min Sung took a bath. He changed into his pajamas and came out into the living room with a towel around his neck and asked for ice water.
Ho Sung Lee, who was nearby, immediately went to the kitchen and fetched him some ice water.
“Sit.”
Min Sung drank his ice water while pointing at the sofa.
Ho Sung Lee sat down a little further away from Min Sung.
“There’s something you must do,” said Min Sung.
“I was actually getting antsy. Sounds like there’s something I can finally do. What is it?”
Ho Sung Lee nodded as if he was ready.
“Go to each country and see how the hunters involved in crimes are doing.”
“Is that all?”
“Just see what they’re up to. Also…”
Min Sung pointed to his face.
“Is a disguise possible?”
“Of course. Technology is impressive these days.”
“And find out what they’re thinking.”
“Should I come when you call me? Or is there a day when I should return?”
“Come back when I call.”
“Yes, Sir. Then I’ll head out this afternoon. I’ll let Chef Jang know as well, because he’ll have to take care of your meals for the time being.”
“Do that.”
“I’ll prepare then.”
Ho Sung Lee excused himself and Min Sung took another sip of his ice water.
He liked the feeling of the cold and refreshing water flowing down his throat.
Min Sung leaned back on the sofa and thought about what he should talk about with the presidents and hunter leaders.
But he was unable to get a clear idea.
He had always lived by himself.
He killed monsters and devils all by himself in the Demonic World, so it hurt his head to think about things like this.
But if there was a problem, he had to solve it.
And if he was partly responsible, he had to get involved.
This was a burdensome position even for Min Sung, and as such, he already realized that 3 days was not enough.
But he did have a clear outline.
Forcefully using one’s brain never resulted in good ideas. All he had to do was ask Central Institute to think about it.
But in that case, they would be passive and defensive, and Min Sung thought of that as a shortcut that was a waste of time.
Min Sung wanted to resolve things as quickly as possible.
Min Sung looked into the distance and put the glass to his lips.
The sound of ice clanging rang through the living room.
***
Du du du du du du!
He took the warp gate. He took the helicopter and arrived in Brazil near the landing area.
That was where the helicopter landed and Ho Sung Lee got out of the helicopter while feeling the strong wind of the propellers.
Ho Sung Lee had a completely different face due to his disguise.
He had already fabricated a new identity, and he also had a fabricated hunter license.
Ho Sung Lee, who got out of the helicopter, looked so different that no one would recognize him.
As soon as he left through the elevator doors, he saw a market street.
Min Sung walked through it while glancing around and then took out his phone.
On his phone was information he received from the Shadow Guild.
After checking a map specifying where the hunters involved in crimes were, he put his phone back into his pocket and walked quickly.
Once he got out of the market, Ho Sung Lee checked the license plate numbers on a row of cars and then proceeded toward a Mercedes SUV and pressed the button on his smart key.
Ho Sung Lee got into the car. He started it and stepped on the gas pedal.
Since he couldn’t get caught by hunters in criminal organizations, he was nervous, but he was excited at the same time.
Ho Sung Lee thought back on his days with the Diamond Clan.
His past self probably wasn’t too different from the hunters here in Brazil.
“I smell something familiar.”
Ho Sung Lee lowered his window. He smiled and lit his cigarette.
Ho Sung Lee enjoyed the scenery like a tourist and smiled with his cigarette.

“Sir, dinner is ready,” said Chef Jang.
Min Sung turned off the TV and went to the kitchen.
Dinner was prepared on the table.
Min Sung sat down with a smile.
“I haven’t tried your cooking in a while.”
“I’m not sure if it’ll suit your taste.”
“Of course, it will. Let’s eat it together.”
Min Sung pointed at the chair beside him.
“May I?”
Woong Jang smiled softly and sat down with his own bowl and spoon.
The main dish on the table was ox bone soup.
Today’s dinner was plain yet not plain at all.
Since it was dinner made by Woong Jang himself, he could trust it completely.
But what was surprising was that Woong Jang made ox bone soup instead of something fancier.
Of course, he wasn’t disappointed.
He was just a little surprised.
There were many fancy side dishes, but Min Sung couldn’t take his eyes off of the ox bone soup.
What drew Min Sung’s attention the most was always the main dish.
After all, side dishes were only there to make the main come alive.
Min Sung looked at the ox bone soup and gulped.
It was strange.
The broth of the ox bone soup looked like milk.
And the hot steam that came from it was very soft and sweet.
When he looked at the red radish Kimchi beside it, he felt his appetite going crazy.
And among the side dishes, there were thick slices of Korean sausages on a broad plate.
Woong Jang must’ve prepared it thinking it would go well with the ox bone soup.
Min Sung felt impatient.
He picked up his spoon and tasted the broth.
The deep taste of the broth almost possessed him.
The seasoning was just right, so he didn’t have to add any more salt.
Min Sung put a piece of radish kimchi on some rice and put it into his mouth.
He chewed on it, and when he went for another spoonful of the broth, there was meat and noodles on his spoon.
He slurped them up along with the broth.
The hot and delicious meat and the soft noodles took him to Heaven.
The red radish Kimchi and the scent of the meat mixed together, and the hot broth was so deep that it made his chest feel refreshed.
It wouldn’t take long before he finished the ox bone soup.
And the finishing touch was the Korean sausages.
