Chapter 261 – Kang Seong-Ki, the Strongest Man in Korea (82)

#

At breakfast, I told the women what I had heard over the phone with Yunmi Choi the night before.
They were, of course, very surprised.

“Is that true?”
“All at once? So easily?”

Only Kang Ah-jin nodded quietly, as if it wasn’t surprising.
She was familiar with the abilities of her self and her mentor, Valentina.
Also about Louis and Lisa’s abilities.
Through a series of incidents with Chi-Chi and Titi, I saw with my own eyes why they had such a high reputation in the underworld.

It was something else she cared about.

“To find that place…”

I was wondering if it was like this too.

“Where was that? Korea, right?”
“Yes, it was deep in Jirisan Mountain. You can’t go there on foot… You would never have noticed…”

Jirisan.
That’s deep, too.
It was so easy to get to and from the warp zone so far.

“I need to move places.”

I knew it would be a very big project.
As much as I am knowledgeable about witchcraft, I knew that moving such a large house far away was not an easy task, no matter how strong I was.
It might take weeks or even months.

“I will help too.”
“It would be nice if you could help, but it won’t be that difficult. I’m not doing it alone, but Master and Lisa are there too.”
“Yes, I guess.”

As Kang Ah-jin said, with Valentina, a super-class sorcerer, and Lisa, I didn’t know that it might not be as difficult as I thought.
Besides, the people who found it are all wandering in another dimension.

When I thought that S-class hunters were trapped and wandering in another dimension, something suddenly came to mind.
Han Cheol-gwan.
He was a Class A Hunter.
Of course, his ability to withstand the same attack would be significantly lower than that of other S-class hunters.
Moreover, his position was that of a minister.
One way or another, if a country’s minister was absent for a long time, problems could arise.

Realizing that I hadn’t heard over the phone yesterday about the matter, I sent a text message to Yunmi Choi.
Han Cheol-gwan asked what had happened.

About a minute later, a reply came.

-Kwan Cheol Han says he made sure not to be trapped in another dimension. Instead, he blew it to an unidentifiable location.

Somewhere else

It was in the middle of the night that the raid took place.
If he rode the mountain at that time, it would have been difficult to navigate.
From Han Cheol-gwan’s point of view, it would have been difficult to follow other S-class hunters.

So I thought he couldn’t remember where Kang Ah-jin’s house was.
Moreover, Valentina and Lisa sent the S-class hunters to another dimension, while Han Cheol-gwan seemed to be sent somewhere in reality.

‘It’s surprisingly delicate.’

For nothing, I thought that Valentina was not a shaman revered as a saint.
Of course, Lisa could have been the one who did the detailed work on Han Cheol-gwan, so I should reserve judgment.

He’s poisoned and blown away, so he’s probably in big trouble.
But he thought he would not have lost his life.
Anyway, Han Cheol-gwan is also a hunter.
A grade was never a low grade.

He thought that if he had a cell phone, he would have called for help.

‘It’s not bad to keep him alive, though.’

If Han Cheol-gwan had been killed at this timing, the problem could have grown to the point where it was difficult to deal with.
Keeping him alive was a good choice, but the next problem was.

Anyway, he’s the one who conspired to kill me and the women.
Besides, he probably still hadn’t given up hope of privatizing the dungeon.

He suffered a major nose injury this time, but it seemed that he would not give up as long as his life was at stake.

The countermeasure against it came unexpectedly during a conversation with Kim Yeon-hwa and Choi Na-ri.

Han Cheol-gwan’s plan was stranded, so he could afford it.
As we talked about yesterday, there is no need to quickly finish the strategy and go back.
So he decided to take a day off today as well.

In fact, it was a pity to finish the attack and go back so quickly.
Above all, because Kim Yeon-hwa and Choi Na-ri are here.
It was an opportunity to study the hot new material obtained from the dungeon and upgrade equipment and weapons.

It can be done later, but it will take time for the company to open up in earnest.

I was admiring the weapon that utilized the soul mage ability I had tested in the dungeon.
Its power and potential far exceeded what I could have imagined.
That meant that there was still room for adjustments and further improvements.

After the meal, Kim Yeon-hwa, Choi Na-ri, and I gathered in the laboratory.

Before starting work, we naturally started talking about what happened yesterday morning.

I once again told the two what had happened at Kang A-jin’s house.
The other women are quite familiar with Valentina, Louisa, and Chi-Chi and Titi, but they know very little.

In fact, I didn’t hear much from Yunmi Choi.
I heard only a few short words compared to the scale of what had happened.
But I could picture the whole situation in my head.

So what I told Kim Yeon-hwa and Choi Na-ri was based on the picture I drew in my head.

“The world is really wide.”
“I knew about witch doctors, but I’ve never heard of poison doctors. I really want to meet you.”

Seeing Na-Ri Choi with shining eyes, it seemed that she had an inspiration for equipment or weapons that could be used by upgrading her poison.
As she is her designer, it may have been her inspiration for shape and design rather than her technical inspiration.
Because I told you about Chi-Chi and Titi’s background and appearance.
As much as they have strong characters, they could have stimulated the designer’s inspiration.

When I said that only Han Cheol-gwan was moved to another place instead of being thrown into a subspace, Kim Yeon-hwa said.

“I don’t think we should let that child live.”

Originally an engineer only interested in developing hunter equipment and weapons, it seemed that she had been dyed on our side before she knew it.
Saying you shouldn’t let it live was something you wouldn’t normally expect to come out of an engineer’s mouth.

“It is the same idea. That bastard… Is there no way?”

Nari Choi said the same thing.

I also wished I had a pointy number.
If left as it is, he will resign his post as minister when his term ends, and it will be difficult to plan anything concrete.
However, considering his obsession with privatizing dungeons, there was no guarantee that he would not plot other things during his tenure.
Since there is no other S-class hunter in Korea to be on his side, he might turn his eyes abroad.
Then there was a chance that the problem would be bigger.

“Hit! How about contacting Yuna Kang?”
“Are you strong?”

When asked in response to the name he had heard for the first time, Choi Na-ri added, asking why she hadn’t thought of that.

“I am the Vice Minister of the Hunter Department. He’s from Hunter, although he’s also a B-class. He always clashed with Kwan Cheol in terms of policy, but because he was so popular, there was a saying that Kwan Cheol Han couldn’t do anything about it. I just heard it, but maybe they really don’t get along?”
“Ah…”

I seemed to know what Kim Yeon-hwa and Choi Na-ri wanted to say.

As Han Cheol-gwan is the Minister of Hunter, it was a story about how to use his static to get rid of it.
At first glance, there was some reason, but the question was whether Jung Yu-na, the Vice Minister of the Hunter Department, could be trusted.

Because the matter is too big to discuss carelessly.
It could have been more sensitive because it was to cut the minister from the position of the vice minister.

“Wouldn’t it be possible to find out if I contacted you?”

Kim Yeon-hwa said indifferently.

“My brother tends to underestimate his position too much. He will come running right away when called. If you meet him, you will get an estimate of what kind of person he is.”
“Well.”

That was right.
Gwan Cheol Han was also flustered and tried to contact me, but it goes without saying that he was the Vice Minister.

As Kim Yeon-hwa and Choi Na-ri said, if you met her, you would know what kind of person Jung Yuna was.

I called someone who might know her contact information.
After a few signals, the other person answered the phone.

“Yoonmi, do you know about essential oils?”
– Are you Yuna? Are you talking about Vice Minister Hunter?
“Yes, actually…”

I briefly conveyed the story I had with Kim Yeon-hwa and Choi Na-ri to Choi Yoon-mi.
Then, an exclamation escaped Choi Yoon-mi’s mouth.

– Wow, there really was a way. I’m sure Yuna will like it after hearing it.
“Are you trustworthy?”
– Yes, I’m pretty close. Together with Han Cheol-gwan, I also saw a lot of scars. Personally, I think Yuna should be the Minister of Hunter. Then the hunter world in Korea will be much better than now.
“Well…”

As expected, Yoonmi Choi knew Yuna Jeong.
Not that I know her, but she seems pretty friendly with her.

Seeing Yoonmi Choi’s good evaluation, her trust went away.
She is also a person who has been doing her own business for a long time and has made it a success, and also has her S-class appraisal ability.
I, who had the same ability, knew that it also affects the eyes that see people.

“Could you please contact Yuna instead? If it’s okay, come to Hongcheon.”
– Yes~
