Chapter 140: Chapter 140
[Little Lord.]
The moment Suho stepped into Jisan Prison, Berg sent a warning.
"okay."
Suho also nodded and looked ahead.
People were being felt all over the prison.
Is it because they say that criminals always reappear at the crime scene?
But no.
"This is another competitor."
"Are you a summoner?"
The bounty hunters who arrived at the prison first frowned upon seeing Suho.
To be precise, it was because of the little wolf sniffing in front of Suho and looking around.
"Is it a summoned beast that specializes in tracking?"
"Tsk. One annoying competitor has increased."
Suho was able to feel once again the fact that the bounty hunter industry is a thoroughly competitive society by looking at the eyes that were wary of him.
However, among them, there were people who did not simply think of Suho as a competitor, but approached him first with goodwill.
"Hey, do you have a separate team?"
"Looks like it's not a summoned beast for battle. How about going around with us?"
"Team with us...."
In the dungeon raid, which has no meaning other than combat-related abilities, the situation was completely different when summoners were unpopular jobs or when hunting villains like this.
In particular, summoners with a developed sense of smell or abilities specialized in tracking were well received by summoners.
[The little lord's popularity is sky-high.]
Ver nodded his head very satisfied with the expression of a well-raised child.
But apart from that, Suho had no intention of forming a team with them.
When Suho rejected their love call with a single knife, they withdrew each time.
"hmm. It would be dangerous for a summoner alone to encounter a villain."
"Is it because you are still young? Why do you struggle when you are young?"
"Looks like a newbie, so why don't you ask for help later?"
Despite the generous advice from countless old people (?), Suho didn't care.
However, there were people who put their business cards in Suho's hand, as if they had no regrets even after withdrawing.
"If you change your mind later, call me. We'll be seeing each other often in the future anyway."
'...Baek Mi-ho is right.'
Suho remembered what Baek Mi-ho had said about the lack of manpower.
"Certainly the number of bounty hunters is too small for the scale of work."
[Not everyone here will be. It happened two days ago, so there must be more people who have already stopped by here to check on things and left for other places.]
Suho also nodded at Ver's words.
Just as Suho came to investigate this place first, most bounty hunters probably started their investigation here.
It was because, by examining the traces of battles left here, one could figure out what level the villains were.
some kind of estimate.
"Hmm. I've seen that there are a lot of guys who are stronger than I thought."
"Should I just back off this time? I'd rather go around the dungeon."
"Let's do it."
There were also hunters who judged that this villain hunt would not be easy and turned away without hesitation.
It was very different from the Baekho Guild, which jumped into this for the safety of citizens.
[In fact, the White Tiger Guild is unusual. That is the general appearance of hunters. There are usually no people who would risk their lives for something that doesn't even cost money.]
Quay whispered to Suho as he watched the hunters leave the prison one by one.
[The reason why the White Tiger Guild is taking the same steps as it is now is probably because the White Tiger Guild leader was a firefighter before awakening.]
"He was a firefighter?"
It was said that S-class hunter Baek Yun-ho's previous job was to risk his life to save citizens.
When Suho showed interest in a fact he didn't know, Quay's eyes lit up.
It was an opportunity to look good for Suho.
[yes. However, it will all be at some point in the end to be able to act like now.]
Quay, a former vice president of a large guild, evaluated the White Tiger Guild in a calm tone.
[The Baekho guild leader will eventually change his policy toward not doing things that don't make a profit. After all, money is needed to maintain a guild, especially a large guild.
]
[Hmmmm.]
As soon as he was hit, Quay quietly disappeared into the shadows.
Seeing that, Suho smiled and thought.
'that's interesting. The Baekho guild leader was a firefighter. My grandfather was a firefighter too.'
It was a really funny coincidence.
A nonsensical thought came to my mind, 'Maybe they know each other, right?'
And I was sure of one thing.
"I am sure. No matter where I look, there is no sign that the electronic anklet has been removed."
[yes. There is no sign of the bomb exploding.]
Berdo was also positive.
In the aftermath of the battle, inside the prison, which was stained with blood, there were scars from all kinds of skills.
However, no matter where I looked, there was no trace of the torn off anklet or the explosion of the anklet, and in the end... "It means that the
anklet was neutralized using a special method..."
that you used
Looking around the site now, that was the only conclusion that could be drawn.
I don't know what method he used, but it was that it was no longer possible to control the villains with the electronic anklet.
However, Suho didn't have to worry about this.
This was something the association had to do on its own, and Suho decided to focus on the investigation.
"Grey, remember all the smells here."
"I'm sorry."
It was Gray who sniffed harder at Suho's words.
It was difficult to remember the faces of 500 villains one by one.
Besides, there's no way the villains would go around covering their faces with confidence.
However, it was clear that if Gray remembered all the smells in Jisan Prison, it would make it much easier to track him down in the future.
This was the reason why other bounty hunters coveted Suho from earlier.
However, it was at the point where Suho had just looked around the entire area of Jisan Prison.
Swoop.
"Hey, is the investigation over?"
A bounty hunter approached Suho smiling.
"When it's over, how about we go out together?"
"..."
Suho stopped walking and stared at his face without a word.
At the same time, Gray glared at him, baring his teeth ferociously.
"Rurrung!"
"Hehe. he's a cute dog It's quite hard to live for a tracking pet."
[Your little lord is suspicious.]
Suho also nodded at Ver's warning.
[Your body smells like blood, and it smells like human blood. He has killed a lot of people.]
"Oh, do you recognize that? You summon strange summons. Would it be worth using?"
Even at Ber's words, the man was not taken aback, and only shrugged his shoulders with a relaxed expression.
Then, he took out his wallet from his pocket and opened it to Suho.
[Association Authorized Bounty Hunter]
Name: Kang Tae-shik
Rating: B
Then, when he saw the association license revealed, a strange thing came to Suho's eyes.
"Even if you look at it like this, I'm one of the few professional villain hunters? It's different from other gossips, so if you're with me, it's sure to be quite helpful."
Kang Tae-shik formally introduced himself.
However, the introduction was unusual.
"Did I tell you that I smell human blood? Of course you will. I've killed more people than the Witchbeasts."
"..."
"Hey, but if you look at me that way, no matter how much I am hurt? Could it be that I killed ordinary people with an association-certified license? Of course, I only killed the villains."
Curiously, Kang Tae-sik was a real bounty hunter who specialized in hunting for villains without attacking dungeons.
However, when Suho's face still showed wariness, Kang Tae-shik shrugged his shoulders and showed his favor first.
"Then how about this? I'll give you the information I found out first. Why don't you listen to it and decide if you want to go with me?"
"Information?"
"okay. Of all the bounty hunters gathered here, I probably have the most information."
"Let's listen first."
I would tell you first, but there was no reason to decline.
As Suho calmly nodded, Taeshik Kang smiled knowingly.
Then, after checking his surroundings to see if he did not want his information to be leaked to other competitors, he quietly opened his mouth.
"You know that Hwang Dong-seok, the mastermind behind this incident, is Hwang Dong-soo, right?"
Suho nodded.
Hwang Dong-soo, an S-class villain.
It was a person who used to be a shadow soldier Grid.
"In fact, Hwang Dong-seok was immediately killed by Hwang Dong-soo."
"...a loss of money?"
"okay. To be precise, Hwang Dong-seok lost Hwang Dong-soo."
Kang Tae-shik took out the story he knew in earnest.
* * *
Brother scammers.
Until the cataclysm, Hwang Dong-seok and Hwang Dong-soo's brothers were mere third-rate petty criminals called by that nickname.
Basically, they were greedy for money, and as they got older, that greedy personality got stronger.
From the day he was released from prison after serving his full sentence, he committed crimes again as if it were natural.
I was living a life that was in and out of prison as if it were my own home.
However, the brothers Hwang Dong-seok and Hwang Dong-soo were quite satisfied with their lives.
If both commit the same crime, receive the same sentence, and end up in the same prison.
It was worth living in prison more than I thought.
After all, brothers are on one side.
But right after the cataclysm.
Their lives have turned 180 degrees.
– What is this?
-Hyung, did you really wake up?
Among the brothers, it was the older brother who awakened first.
The moment Challo Seok felt a tremendous power boiling in his body.
he realized
The fact that you don't have to live servilely and fraudulently anymore.
fraud?
Isn't that what guys who can't fight make money with their hair?
right after the cataclysm.
A time when the world was in turmoil.
Hwang Dong-seok became the villain at that time.
He turned from a con man into an armed robber and started robbing convenience stores and restaurants.
– Ha ha ha! money! money!
Making money has never been so easy!
I felt so insignificant of the years I spent cheating and fooling around to earn some pennies.
And...
– Tsk. Haven't you awakened yet? don't you have any talent?
The appearance of the younger brother who had not yet awakened even a handful of magic began to look very pitiful.
-Hyung, I heard that there are many things that suddenly wake up even after doing this. So if you wait a little longer...
– So, until when?
-....
-Tsk. useless guy.
Despite the elder brother's blatant criticism, the non-awakened younger brother could not say anything.
because it was true
magic is innate.
It wasn't that you could suddenly become an Awakener by working hard.
and after a while
-You go away now.
-brother? What does that mean...
-F*ck you incompetent b*stard!
Hwang Dong-seok threw out his younger brother.
It was much more comfortable with two than one person when cheating, but now there was no reason to give money to my younger brother.
Hwang Dong-seok, who abandoned his younger brother mercilessly, began robbing the country in earnest after that.
His mobility was different from when he was with his younger brother, who was slow.
Because I did not share the money I earned with my younger brother, the money kept piling up no matter how much I spent.
But those good times didn't last long.
One day, the Hunter Association was suddenly established.
Woo Jin-cheol, the head of the association, declared a war against the villains on a large scale.
And Hwang Dong-seok was easily captured by the association hunters who came to catch him.
I tried to fight back, but I was suppressed helplessly to the point of futility.
And until then, Hwang Dong-seok, who had lived to the fullest with his power, realized it only after he was brought to the association.
The fact that he was a frog in the well.
Just in time, a horsepower measuring device developed in a foreign country was introduced to Korea, and Hwang Dong-seok realized that he was only a C-level Awakener.
And as a matter of course, he was sent to the notorious Jisan Prison, where villains from all over the country were caught.
Hwang Dong-seok heard a piece of news there.
The fact that his younger brother Hwang Dong-soo became an S-class villain.
