Chapter 186 – Kang Seong-Gi, the Strongest Man in Korea (7)

Kang Ah-jin clearly explained the situation.
After all, finding her was her correct answer.

Baek Seong-hoon or S-class hunters I haven’t experienced yet are strangers to me.
Seulbi Kim also didn’t seem to have a big relationship with other S-class hunters.
She was one step away from other S-class hunters, not having a strong desire for power or money.

When I asked about Baek Sung-hoon’s tattoo, Kang Ah-jin shook his head.

“I don’t know that either. Master probably knows more than I do. So is Louisa. Because they were mainly active in South America, not in safe Korea.”

It is unknown whether Baek Sung-hun’s tattoos are related to the South American hunter world.
I’ve already heard that he has connections with hunters in Southeast Asia and Japan, but isn’t South America literally on the other side of the globe?

If Valentina or Luisa knew about this tattoo, it seemed like a lot of secrets could be unlocked.
I kindly hoped so.

“Why did Hyena do that?”

Seulbi Kim muttered to herself.

“Don’t you understand?”

I saw Park Hye-na for the first time today.
Seeing that Kim Seul-bi, who must have known her much better than I, was so puzzled, there must have been something strange about it.

“Yes, I don’t think Hye-na owes Baek Sung-hoon. Hyena is similar to me. She just thinks she’s become S-class somehow, she’s not really interested in politics or money.”

I asked Ajin Kang.

“Do you have any guesses?”
“Park Hye Nara…”

Kang Ah-jin said, “Hmm.” She muttered, and she said.

“I’m saying this because it’s just the two of you, but Hye-na has some bad habits.”
“A bad habit?”

Seulbi Kim asked.

“I enjoy taking drugs. Even if drugs are safe regardless of whether they are illegal or not because drugs are not harmful to S-class hunters, there are cases in which hunters want stronger drugs. Because of that, other talented people are intervening in drug production and distribution.”

Kang A-jin said that and she sighed.

“It’s a big problem.”

Seulbi Kim was surprised and asked.

“Has Hye-na ever had problems with drugs?”
“Yeah. She has asked me three times, so she causes problems quite often. Some medicines completely disrupt the flow of mana. S-class hunters are resistant to most weaknesses, but when the effect of the medicine works, the problem becomes bigger. It’s because the mana itself is strong and there is a lot of it. I have unleashed the twisted flow of mana three times. The last one, the third one, was a bit serious. It must have been a few weeks of hard work.”

I seemed to see a hint of something in this story.

“If Baek Seong-hoon is related to an organization that distributes drugs, wouldn’t it be considered that Hye-na Park also owes him?”
“It is a story of possibility.”

Ajin Kang nodded her head.

“Ah…”

Worried about her friend, Kim Seul-bi lamented.
Kang Ah-jin said to her.

“It is not certain yet. I need to find out more.”

#

However, Seulbi Kim’s concerns turned out to be true.

It was Valentina who informed it.

Valentina frowned when I told her about the scorpion and snake tattoos.
Moreover, what was surprising was the fact that even Lisa, who doesn’t show emotion for most things, frowned.

“Is this the tattoo?”

Valentina pulled out her own phone and showed her a picture.

The tattoo in the picture was carved into someone’s skin.

It was correct.
The same tattoo as the one engraved on Baek Sung-hoon’s head.

Although there are subtle differences in corners, the basic shape is the same.

“You seem to be friendly with the troublesome guys.”

Said Valentina.

“These guys are spiritists. However, it is not only active in that direction. Murder, drugs, prostitution. All sorts of crimes have to do with these guys. We have sub-organizations all over South America, and we’re trying to expand the radius of action recently. There is a possibility. Approaching an S-class hunter in Korea.”
“Soul magician…”

No wonder I felt uncomfortable seeing the tattoo.
It wasn’t a great feeling, and it wasn’t a tattoo that made a very good atmosphere to look at, so I passed on it, but now I think I know why I got that feeling.

It’s the same reason Lisa frowned.

That is why some of the masters of mana trapped inside Lisa have bad memories of this organization.
I, who inherited her mana from her, could not be completely free from its influence.

“Are you even approaching an S-class hunter? What about them?”

When I heard it, it was unusual.
Baek Seong-hun was an S-class hunter from a country on the other side of the globe.
It is also a hunter who belongs to the axis that is quite strong enough to try to follow in the footsteps of Jo Dong-geun as a leader.

Seeing that even such a strong Hunter was recruited, this organization was definitely not normal.

“I had a hard time fighting these guys too. It’s in an implicit truce right now, but it still bothers me. It’s because they don’t know how to give up.”
“Well…”

The problem was more serious than I thought.
I hoped that Kim Yeon-hwa would take the position of the best hunter in Korea and supply the by-products stably after raiding SS-class dungeons, and I also thought that the job would not be too difficult, but that was a naive idea.
It turns out that Baek Seong-hoon had a relationship with an organization that was never easy.

He may have thought that he had no choice but to deal with Jo Dong-geun, but anyway.

“Perhaps he was offered the role of branch manager. Instead, he must have promised full support.”

Said Valentina.

“It’s the tactic they usually do. They’re smart and strong, so they recruit the strongest in the country first. If there is a stake in it, it will be easily passed over.”
“Haaa…”

I let out a sigh.
It turned out that Jo Dong-geun belonged to the medicine department.

Baek Seong-hun, this guy, joined hands with dangerous guys to fulfill his own desire for power.
After that, aiming for the top spot was putting the whole of Korea at risk.
The other S-class hunters who worked hand in hand with him must not have known that fact.
In a word, it was the attitude that it did not matter what happened to other people as long as it was for the benefit of the person himself.
In other words, betrayal.

“What should I do?”

Valenti said, touching her chin at my question.

“Don’t worry too much. They are also people with ideas. I’m not going to go to war with a country on the other side of the globe just because something happened to him. If the worst happens, I’ll have to step in, well, I hope that doesn’t happen.”

Valentina’s departure meant that her sorcerer’s organization, which had been in her body until recently, also moved.
Then there was a high possibility that a commotion reminiscent of a world war would break out.

Even so, the organization that Baek Seong-hun worked with would not want things to grow that far.

“First of all, winning the vote is important.”

Seulbi Kim said.

But this also seemed to be unanswered.
All Hunters who could side with this side took this side.
The rest is on Baek Sung-hoon’s side.

There is also a way to visit them unilaterally and give them true education as they did to Park Hyeon-jun and Kim Hyeon-cheol, but this was something to be avoided if possible.
Breaking into another S-class hunter’s house and making a commotion is really the same thing as the end.
Park Hyeon-jun’s eyes widened when he saw Kim Seul-bi, whom he liked, with another man, and Kim Hyeon-cheol also crossed the line because he was young and full of pride.

Regardless of whether Na-yeon Seo has a good or bad personality, she is a self-centered woman.

Anyway, touching the S-class hunter attached to Baek Sung-hoon for no reason could lead to starting a fight with the other camp before voting.

It was literally the last option.

‘I don’t think I’ll be able to conciliate nicely.’

Since they were attached to Baek Sung-hoon for profit, they would not try to come over as good unless they were convinced that there was a greater benefit.

“I will contact you.”

Seulbi Kim said.

“I’ll ask Hye-na to meet me. There seems to be no other way right now.”

Seulbi Kim seemed to have the same thoughts as me.

Seulbi Kim spoke to Hyena Park.
It wasn’t hard for her to get her appointment with her.

We decided to have dinner together tomorrow, and I decided to go out there too.

“They’re troublesome guys…”

Valentina looked uncharacteristically worried.
She probably didn’t think that when she left her home ground to settle down in Korea, she never thought that here she would face them again.

Seeing that Valentina was so concerned, she thought that I should refrain from touching them as much as possible.
First of all, I hoped that the story would go well with Park Hye-na.

“I…”

Suddenly, Lisa, who had been quiet, opened her mouth.

I guessed that she might also have something to say about a group of South American spiritists with scorpion and snake tattoos, but she didn’t.

“There is a way to win the vote.”
