Chapter 306 – James to Altona

Hyunjoon Kim is back.
As soon as the news spread, everyone in Altona gathered at Kim Hyeon-jun’s house as if to welcome a pope.
That’s how much Kim Hyun-joon is at the Yongsan Shelter… No, because he was a very important person to the people of Altona now.
Of course, the person who is most delighted is Kim Hyo-jung, who has been waiting for her forever.

“Ahhhhh!!!”

Hyeon-Jun Kim, who does not know what to do with the tears pouring out of his eyes.

“Hey, stop crying… I’m not even dead, so why…”
“Are you really okay?”
“Dasol, I’ll treat you first, Captain!”
“Yes~”
“It’s okay, Dasol. I got it all on the way to treatment.”

James Carter’s team with Amy to pick up Hyun-Jun Kim isn’t just combatants.
Some have special abilities that allow them to perform multiple operations with a few combatants, while others have S-class healing abilities.
That’s why Kim Hyun-joon was already receiving treatment while moving by helicopter.
At the time when all attention was focused on Kim Hyun-joon, who had returned, the attention of those who confirmed that he was safe began to turn to Ha-jin one by one.

“… “
“Why are you like that..?”
“Captain, what happened?”
“What kind of dog form is that…”
“Quack… People who don’t know anything should be comfortable.”

Head, who was mixed in the crowd of people saying a word to Hajin, who was staring at one place while standing on the roof, laughed and spit out the words, and this time, people’s eyes were focused on Head.
Especially the gaze of Hajin’s women.

“Gary, what do you know?”
“Brother, why are you doing that?”
“What happened when I went somewhere with you?”
“It looks like he’s hurt…”
“Couldn’t Hajin lose to you?”
“If so, would he be here? I’m probably biting my head.”
“Hell heel… It’s thrilling just thinking about it. But unfortunately, today it just ended in a draw because my body took care of it.”
“What is a draw! Dasol managed to save everyone from dying, but only his mouth survived.”
“Shut up, doctor. If you say useless things, I will bite your breasts off.”
“This pervert monster..!!”

As Ha-jin’s women and Yeo Min-jung kept talking about strange things, Joo-hyeok Kwon and Ji-hoon Kim grabbed Head by both arms and dragged them out a little further away.

“Tell me quickly!”
“What’s going on?! It’s ominous!”
“Kheh heh heh… Bare-mouthed?”
“What do you want? Can it be my blood?”
“Get it away, bastard!! How dare you stick your vulgar pork feet into my body?!”
“… “

After cutting off Jackson’s arm, who held out to suck his blood, Kwon Joo-hyeok and Kim Ji-hoon, who were holding both of his arms, were also removed, and he sat down on the floor with a serious expression on his face.

“Listen up, humans. I will tell you why my master is doing that.”
“… “
“… “
“… “

Gulp-

People swallowed saliva with their mouths closed and began to focus on the not-so-loud voices of their heads.
And after a moment of silence, the head opens its mouth.

“It is an acknowledgment of my strength.”
“What..?”
“It means that you are contemplating whether to acknowledge my strength and swear allegiance to me. So even you insignificant bastards, put your head on the floor right now and swear allegiance to this body!! If that’s the case, let’s harass them very nicely, khehehehe!!”
“Crazy.”
“Eh… It was my fault for expecting it.”
“Tsk tsk… He must have hurt his head again after being beaten by his brother.”
“Dasol~ I need to go through treatment again~”

At the head’s words, people shook their heads and began to disperse.
So everyone’s interest disappeared and people started preparing for Kim Hyun-joon’s comeback party, and the women who tried to argue with Ha-jin for going to the red light district, seeing Ha-jin’s serious appearance, decided to give Ha-jin alone time for now.
Because the atmosphere was quite different from trying to get out of the situation with nonsensical acting or lies as usual.
And at some point, Dae-ri, who approached Ha-jin’s side…

“If the owner is anxious, I will check first.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Aren’t you worried? Because of the guy who exudes such a dangerous energy.”
“So you want to fight for me?”
“However much.”

There was no hesitation, fear, or even playfulness in the head’s eyes.
A very determined look.
And Ha-jin, who smiled at those eyes, patted the back of his head and said.

“Don’t do it. You die.”
“… “
“No matter what happens, don’t fight him.”
“Master… “
“Then let’s go eat meat~ It’s a party~”
“… “

Dae-ri, who was staring at Ha-jin, who had jumped under her roof, muttered as he slowly lifted her head.

“Fuck, back of the head..!”

Dae-gari, who was badly stabbed in the back of the head, watched Ha-jin for an opportunity while enjoying the party, but in the end, he tried to hit her on the back of the head for no reason, but was beaten like a dog and thrown into the seawater.

Meanwhile, the Allied Headquarters conference room.
People gathered in a state of extreme excitement.
The top leaders of each country and even the strongest members of the Allied Forces were literally waiting for one person in a state of great excitement.
That’s James Carter.

Jump-

A person who appeared with a door that burst open.

“What are you doing here?”
“Your position has been dismissed. You can’t come in here.”
“A little while ago, my position was restored, and I have access to this place.”
“The decision makers are all gathered here, and who dares to ask you… “
“… “
“… “

The vice president of the United States, who couldn’t finish his words, and the other prime ministers who didn’t even open their mouths.
For a while, they were so obsessed with their power that even though they knew who had returned, they couldn’t judge the situation for a while.
Of course, I have already judged the situation enough.

“May I come in?”
“Um, of course…”
“Come in… And welcome, Captain Amy…”

Amy bowed her head slightly as she entered the conference room, and another person appeared through the still open door.
And the strongest people and leaders who start to wake up even before he comes in.
And it was Paul, not James Carter, who tilted his head at the sight.

“Did everything happen because of me? It’s a big deal.”
“… “
“… “
“… “

The strongest were bewildered.
He thought that if he was feeling this level of energy, it must be James.
However, it was Paul’s energy that had grown so strong that even the strongest could not recognize it.

“Po, Paul… “
“Your strength… “
“Why… What happened there…?”
“What about James?! Where is James going and you coming in?!”
“Why? Are you dissatisfied with me?”
“… “

The strongest man hesitated at Paul’s staring eyes and stepped back.
Clearly, there was a gap between them.
Even if he was the strongest, in Paul’s case, he was the strongest along with the dead Brenton.
However, the Paul of today was not the Paul of the past that could have been easily overlooked.

‘Strong… Two… No, three… I can’t say for sure though… ‘
‘If someone doesn’t want to die… At least five…’
‘It’s disgustingly strong..!’
‘Even if I didn’t come back from there…!’

The strongest who were forcibly sent back after only two days in the dark hell can no longer go there again.
My strength and stamina stats had already reached 100, and since the day I returned, no message telling me to go there had come to mind.

“But what can I say? What are you calling people who have just arrived so they can’t even rest?”
“That’s for James, we ourselves… “
“You just have to tell me. James is not coming.”
“… “

Paul firmly answers the words that flowed from the mouth of the Vice President of the United States, not the strongest.
Although they were momentarily taken aback by the fact that James was not coming, the vice president and prime minister even attached five dedicated staff and handed over documents documenting all of Ha Jin’s eccentricities.

“Whee! It’s amazing. Isn’t that right, Captain Amy?”
“Iknow, right. Then let me ask you one thing. Did Kang Ha-jin do it alone? Or was it something the people of Altona did together?”
“Ah, these are things that Kang Ha-jin personally did on his own… The rest of the Korean… No, the people of Altona didn’t cause any accidents.”
“It’s not a person, but I recorded what the monster did on the back page.”

Paul and Amy, who looked through the records of Hajin, who caused more than 300 accidents, put down the documents after checking the records of the heads who caused the 4 accidents recorded in the last page.

“I didn’t kill anyone.”
“This is quite possible.”
“What, what do you mean by that?!”
“You’re saying you’re not going to punish the humans who did these things just because the humans aren’t dead?!”
“It’s just that no one has died so far! There were people who were almost killed, and if things continue like this, someday someone will die at the hands of Kang Ha-jin!”
“And he is not afraid of the allied forces themselves. Just look at what they did to us… “
“Wait. Are you doing this for face? Are you saying that you will punish Kang Ha-jin for your face and prestige?”
“… “
“… “
“… “

Leaders who kept their mouths shut and cleared their throats at Paul’s words.
Paul, who was watching such a scene, laughed as if he was dumbfounded, and Amy let out a small sigh and asked.

“Ha… Do you want to punish Ha-jin so strong?”
“No, what… I made a mistake… “
“We’re strong, but we’re not trying to punish them! I’m saying that there should be an equal and reasonable punishment like everyone else!”
“Yes!”
“If we make an exception like this, no one will follow the rules and laws we set.”
“Are we? It is the Allied Forces that set the rules and laws. You too are just members of the Allied Forces. Don’t forget that fact.”
“… “

Perhaps because of James’ return, Amy said what she wanted to say somewhat outspokenly, and her leaders couldn’t refute those words.
The fact that Amy is pregnant with James’ child is already known to the Allied Forces and to the 30 million people in Melbourne.

“But how are you going to punish Kang Ha-jin? Are the people here going to get them?”
“… “
“When you have power that transcends individuals, any group or nation can exert its power. When James, for example, did things like this, can anyone here say that he should be punished?”
“Now you… Are you saying that Kang Ha-jin has the same level of strength as James?!”
“Isn’t it strange that someone who doesn’t think like that?”
“Well then!! Are you stronger than James? So you’re saying you guys can’t be punished?!”

Silence fell in the meeting room at the British Prime Minister’s words.
Then, everyone’s eyes turned to Paul and Amy, and after a moment’s pause, the two spoke at the same time without saying which one was first.

“James is stronger.”
“James is stronger.”

Paul and Amy answered without any hesitation or doubt.
And at the answer of the two, smiles bloomed on the faces of the leaders as well as the strongest.

“Then we will talk directly!”
“Okay! Where is James now?!”
“Hmm… Can you tell me I think the team leader will hate it.”
“I will tell you. It’s not something to hide. Currently, Sergeant James Carter has made his way to Memorial Park.”
“Then let’s head there right away!”
“I go first!”

Unlike the leaders who had to travel by car, the strongest hurriedly left the conference room and started running, and soon arrived at the memorial park in downtown Melbourne.
Names of countless people engraved on large stone tablets.
And while he was away for a while, standing in front of the newly erected stone slab, James bowed his head in front of the names of those who lost their lives in battles with monsters, and finally touched the name of Brenton Rush, who was killed by Ha Jin, with his fingertips.

“Stupid guy…”

It wasn’t a very good relationship, and it was Brenton who got into trouble and sometimes quarreled.
Still, comrades who have been through countless battlefields together and have led countless battles to victory.
That’s why he wasn’t the one to let go like this in vain.

Kwak!!!

James, who hid his burning eyes with his eyelids, along with his clenched fists, lowered his head, and at that moment the strongest arrived.
Of course, Paul and Amy also arrived, and the leaders who arrived in a car in a hurry gathered together again while the strongest people could not easily approach James, who was burning to death.

“Why are you doing this here..?”
“Shouldn’t we go and talk?!”
“Eh… “
“Just wait here.”

The strongest, who sighed as if they were pathetic, stopped the leaders who were rushing to approach and waited for James to approach first.
After a moment of silence, James lifted his head, recalled his closed eyes, and said without moving.

“Pole.”
“Say.”
“Who did you say killed Branton?”
“Hmm… It’s a monster called the head. However, the one who actually killed him was strong. The moment Brenton died, Kang Ha-jin’s power became stronger.”
“It’s strong… Head… Who am I supposed to ask about Brenton’s death?”
“Ah… That… “
“If you have to ask, it’s a monster called the head. Because it started with that monster.”
“Thank you, Amy. Then I will go.”

Only then did James turn around and start walking in a different direction from where the people were gathered, and the embarrassed leaders stretched out their hands and opened their mouths.

“Hey, James…!”
“Please grasp the atmosphere!”
“What..?”
“Can’t you just see it? James will take care of it, so you guys can go back and hang out with young girls.”
“… “

At the words of Anton Zenegger, who had been beaten by Hajin in the red light district, the leaders returned to the car with their mouths shut, and James followed the energy he felt and headed to Altona.
