## Chapter 2594 – 2594. Nectar

Yura was at the World Hunter Association’s Asian headquarters, hidden in Japan. She sat in the temporary office, a cigarette dangling from her lips, clicking away at her computer. She was writing a report on the recent incident.

Knock knock.

Yura responded to the knock.

“Come in.”

The door opened, and a middle-aged man in a suit entered. Ichimaru. The head of the World Hunter Association’s secret Asian headquarters. He brushed away the cigarette smoke with his right hand and placed a document on Yura’s desk.

“Yura. Here are the test results you requested. The owner of the semen you submitted is Sung Yu-jin, an S-class candidate from Korea. Korea has a well-established database, so it didn’t take long to get the results.”

“Oh? So he was a big shot after all.”

“Did you know?”

“I didn’t. How could I know every single thing? Besides, it was a chance encounter.”

“A chance encounter, you say. Who would have thought Sung Yu-jin was a full-fledged S-class hunter? And that you would openly seduce him. Have you decided to use your charms without hesitation now? If so, there are some pretty good missions…”

“I don’t do things that cheapen my body. It lowers my value.”

“Haven’t you already lost your virtue?”

“I didn’t lose it. I gave it to Sung Yu-jin. Especially since Sung Yu-jin is a lecher. If I sleep around with other men… he might lose interest in me, right?”

Sung Yu-jin’s tendencies were easy to find with a little research. He had quite a few women. Of course, that wasn’t a flaw. It wasn’t like Sung Yu-jin was causing trouble because of women.

“We found out that Sung Yu-jin regularly trades with Park Jung-gu. Large quantities of food, firearms, and even war equipment like helicopters. It’s almost like he’s preparing for war.”

“You didn’t do a blatant background check, did you?”

“Of course not. Since Sung Yu-jin is presumed to be a full-fledged S-class, it’s only natural to be cautious. We investigated step by step from a distance. As a result, we concluded that it’s impossible to know where those supplies went.”

The amount of supplies Sung Yu-jin had purchased through Park Jung-gu so far was enormous. If they were released on the market, they would naturally attract attention. But there was no change in the market.

“There are two possibilities. Either he’s using them in another world, not this one. Or he knows something we don’t and is storing them in a very secret place, like a subspace.”

Another world.

The World Hunter Association had been aware of it for a long time. Sometimes, beings from Earth would move to other worlds, or beings from other worlds would flow into Earth. It was also the World Hunter Association’s job to respond to them to prevent chaos.

“Since it’s related to an S-class, you reported it to the higher-ups, right? What do they think?”

“They think it’s the former. The basis is the Sejin Group’s HB-1. The investigation revealed that Sung Yu-jin contacted the Sejin Group, and the Sejin Group released HB-1 to the world.”

“So, HB-1 is something brought from another world?”

“That’s the assumption. Sung Yu-jin’s unbelievable growth can also be explained if he received some unknown power from another world. Logically, it doesn’t make sense for someone to become an S-class less than five years after awakening.”

“So, what are the higher-ups going to do with Sung Yu-jin?”

“They’re on hold. It seems they haven’t made a decision yet.”

Yura’s eyes widened. The higher-ups always made quick decisions. When a report was submitted, an order would often come down within 10 minutes, as if they had been waiting for it.

“That’s unexpected.”

“It must mean that it’s not an easy matter for the higher-ups either.”

“Chief, what do you think?”

“…Personally, I think it’s right to eliminate him. HB-1, which can instantly complete the growth of plants, is excessively innovative. There’s no guarantee that similar items don’t exist. Sung Yu-jin will bring chaos to the world.”

“Well, even if we just list the problems already in this world, that’s not even a problem.”

“…It doesn’t matter what we say. In the end, it’s the higher-ups who make the decision.”

The World Hunter Association had always acted under the instructions of the higher-ups. The higher-ups’ instructions had never been wrong. Ichimaru decided to trust the higher-ups’ instructions this time as well.

“What about the Ao Oni and Ken I brought?”

“Ao Oni’s corpse is under research. According to your report, Ao Oni had low intelligence. But the records show that it had a fairly high level of intelligence. Researchers believe that its intelligence degenerated while it was sealed for a long time.”

“That’s a lucky case. Other beings were fine even after being sealed for hundreds or thousands of years.”

“The interrogation of Ken revealed that he was connected to Baekrim (White Forest). It’s presumed that Baekrim is planning to unite the black guilds of Japan. It seems that Baekrim also helped to release Ao Oni’s seal.”

“…For all the trouble I went through for years, the information I got is not much. At least we should find out Baekrim’s base.”

Yura was angry. Her voice was calm, and her expression was blank.

“Ken didn’t know that much either.”

Yura tapped on the keyboard and then stopped.

“Okay. The report is finished. Since you’re here, take a look now.”

Yura turned the monitor. Ichimaru read the report. It was a report with Yura’s subjective opinions about Sung Yu-jin. Originally, it should have been reported objectively, but… Yura was the one who met Sung Yu-jin directly and confirmed his power. Moreover, Yura was a highly trusted member of the 11th Special Forces. She had also carried out missions with other S-class hunters several times.

“Overall, the evaluation is good. Did you develop feelings while sleeping with him?”

“That’s an insult to me. It’s also sexual harassment.”

“…I’m sorry. According to the report, Sung Yu-jin seems less picky than other S-class hunters.”

“At least he was to me. He even listened to everything I had to say? All he wanted was my body.”

“A lecher. A severe case, too. Better than doing drugs, I guess.”

Ichimaru checked the parameters of Sung Yu-jin that Yura had written and clicked his tongue.

Strength: S Agility: S Stamina: S Mana: S Combat Power: S+ Ability: S+

The hexagon was full, and two of them went beyond the line.

“All parameters are at the top… Combat power and ability have even exceeded the standard. Is this correct?”

“I saw it right next to him. His physique, mana size, and mana manipulation are perfect for an S-class.”

The standard for an S-class was, of course, an S-class hunter.

“Even S-class hunters don’t have such even parameters. Most of their parameters are skewed to one side. If Sung Yu-jin really has the ability according to these parameters… there are only a few S-class hunters who can face Sung Yu-jin.”

Of course, these parameters were not absolute. They were mixed with Yura’s subjectivity.

“…I can understand why his ability is S+. Acceleration, electricity, wind. There are already three abilities that have been identified. And, presumably, the ability to travel to other worlds. Just the abilities he has are already beyond the norm. But it’s strange that his combat power is S+.”

Combat power didn’t mean the overall combat power that combined all parameters.

Combat ability. In short, it was the combat sense that utilized the power and abilities one possessed. Among hunters, there were many who were born with the abilities of an S-class hunter but could not become S-class due to a lack of combat sense.

“Sung Yu-jin didn’t back down at all when he fought Ao Oni. He was relaxed throughout.”

“Ao Oni’s intelligence degenerated due to the long seal.”

“Sung Yu-jin didn’t kill Ao Oni by using his head. He overwhelmed Ao Oni with his power and combat skills. Ao Oni clearly had more than S-class strength, but he couldn’t overwhelm Sung Yu-jin.”

“…If that’s true… Sung Yu-jin is an absurd person.”

Ichimaru’s expression was serious. In the worst case, it wouldn’t be easy to eliminate Sung Yu-jin. At least two or more S-class hunters. Or maybe three or more S-class hunters would be needed.

‘The key is how the World Hunter Association will react.’

Even if they didn’t eliminate him, it seemed necessary to keep an eye on Sung Yu-jin.

Ichimaru’s eyes widened momentarily as he checked the last part of the report.

“…Stamina is S-class? Why did you bother to include this?”

“That’s also information about Sung Yu-jin. And for your information, he was good at sex too. Even better than me, who has learned bedroom techniques. I was a little frustrated.”

“……Aren’t you the one doing the sexual harassment?”

Ichimaru sighed and stepped back.

“Wait. What about my mission now?”

“The higher-ups will send instructions soon. Wait until then.”

“I refuse any infiltration missions. Since Kamaise is gone, my information has probably spread to some extent, so infiltration is difficult.”

“Okay. I’ll report that to the higher-ups too.”

Ichimaru left the office.

Ding-dong.

I opened my eyes at the sound of the doorbell. I listened to the music coming from the intercom and sluggishly got out of bed.

1 PM. Maybe because I forced myself to wake up, I wasn’t in a good mood.

‘Who the hell is it…’

It wouldn’t be Han Ha-rin or Han Ah-young. They knew the door lock password and would just open the front door without ringing the doorbell. Above all, they wouldn’t come at this time.

Other women? They would contact me before coming. There wasn’t any woman who was supposed to come to my house today.

I was too slow, and the intercom screen turned off.

Ding-dong.

The doorbell rang again. I ignored the intercom and headed for the front door. I wasn’t worried about assassins. What assassin in the world would ring the doorbell connected to the intercom before entering?

I opened the front door irritably. I was going to get annoyed if someone rang the doorbell for no reason, but… I widened my eyes when I saw the woman in front of the front door.

It was Yura, the self-proclaimed female ninja I had slept with a while ago. She was wearing a short skirt and an off-the-shoulder blouse, not a kimono.

“I moved in. In Korea, when you move in, you give rice cakes to your neighbors, right? Here.”

Surprised, I accepted the rice cake she handed me without thinking. It was a warm steamed rice cake.

“Why are you here… No, more importantly, you found out my identity…?!”

“Did you even intend to hide your identity in the first place? You came inside me so much.”

“…Ah.”

Did they test the DNA of my semen? No, even if they found out my identity, would they come right away like this?

“…I don’t understand the World Hunter Association’s intentions.”

“They’re sending me to watch you for now. The World Hunter Association wants to maintain a good relationship with you. Is there anything you want from the World Hunter Association? Like being recognized as an S-class hunter right away. I don’t recommend it, though.”

“Why?”

“The benefits given to S-class hunters aren’t free. You’ll end up working while knowing the truth of the world.”

“I do hate working.”

“And not everyone in the World Hunter Association is friendly to you. In fact, they’re close to being on hold, unable to make a decision.”

“Is it okay to tell me all this?”

“I’ve decided to bet on you. I don’t plan to work for the World Hunter Association and die. Of course, if you kick me out, I can’t help it.”

I thought of Yura’s ability.

Tattoo sealing. The ability to seal a target by turning them into a tattoo on her body. If Yura died, the beings sealed in the tattoos would also die. In other words, in the worst case, Yura could become a sacrifice.

Yura couldn’t fully trust the World Hunter Association. She was wary of being discarded after being used.

I scanned Yura’s body. Beautiful looks. And I had even taken her virginity a while ago. She had the ability, so she was qualified to be my woman.

“This isn’t something to talk about in front of the front door. Come inside.”

“Excuse me.”

Thud.

The front door closed.

My hand was touching Yura’s butt without me even realizing it. It was instinct.
