Chapter 122: A Complicated Situation

“What should we do?”

“First we need to team up with the Japanese clan and decide from there.” Gwanjae tried to come up with a plan to save their name.

“But are you sure that’s going to work? The Daehyeon clan’s name already has such a bad reputation. Maybe we can just call the media channels and pay them off to stop them.” Jaehwang suggested but Gwanjae just got angrier. They were so deep into the problem and it seemed as if there was no way out of it.

“When is the exposition?”

“It is scheduled at the beginning of next month.”

“Alright, I guess we’ll focus on the Daehyeon clan and the president until then.”

“Okay.”

“And keep an eye on the Japanese clan as this situation improves.”

“Got it.”

“Don’t disappoint me,” Gwanjae said and Jaehwang exited the room with his chin still down. “Rumi,”

“I found it!” Rumi shouted as he ran into the room.

“What’s going on?” Gwanjae asked with a confused look on his face.

“They were out yesterday on a raid.”

Gwanjae tilted his head the moment he heard Rumi’s words. “They were on a raid?”

“Yes. They were found in South Hwanghae Province. They went out on the raid early in the morning yesterday. They were bought back safety and they are now currently receiving treatments for their sustained injuries.”

“No, No,” Gwanjae said in a worried tone.

“The raid team didn’t call for backup or anything? Are you sure about this?”

Many high ranked hunters were on the raid so Gwanjae didn’t understand how anything could have gone so terribly wrong. Lately, there had been so many monsters showing up across the country so a lot of hunters were sent into their nests to hunt them down.

Rumi then took a deep breath and replied, “It was because of Jaehwang.”

Jaehwang made a really big mistake that affected everyone. Gwanjae’s eyes widened in surprise at Rumi’s answer but then his frown turned upside down. Jaehwang was an advanced level hunter. The other hunters that had the same license as his were still not as skilled as he was.

“Haha… is that so?”

“Yes, sir.”

“Hm… Are we going to need him again?”

If he was able to save those high-ranked hunters then maybe it would be a good thing to keep him around.

“You could recommend him.”

“Me?” Gwanjae asked and Rumi replied,

“Yes. You know him best and you helped him improve even more. Besides, he has much more experience than the other hunters. I think that he would make a great recommendation.”

Gwanjae thought that Rumi did have a point but he still wasn’t completely sure about it. Jaehwang was strong but he still needed to be careful and not think that he’s just invincible.

“Hmm..” Gwanjae was still contemplating. He was going to deny it at first but after hearing Rumi’s reasoning, he decided that maybe it would be a great idea to give Jaehwang another chance.

“Do you think that they would still have a normal life as a hunter?”

Jaehwang already had a high status and some fans.

Originally, Gwanjae didn’t want him to join the group because they had too many members in the past. Just getting onto the team was extremely difficult. They would be judged according to their talents and value towards the team and if one were to be chosen, the hardships won’t end there.

“Okay. Do you think he’ll make it?” Gwanjae asked after he agreed with his idea. If Jaehwang would be able to pass their evaluation, he would surely be the best member of their group.

“Well…” Rumi replied as if he forgot what he was going to say.

“..What is it…”

“It seems that lately, no one was able to get past through the evaluation.”

“Huh, that must be the catch…” Gwanjae said in a worried tone.

‘True and he has no self-awareness…’ Rumi thought to himself.

“Look at that person.”

“What about it? It’s just some clan. That person…”

There were whispers coming from everywhere. The two of them watched as the crowd gathered together in groups of threes and twos.

—Those Idiots…

—Hey, calm down.

Jaehwang said to the spirit as he tried to listen to their whispers.

—Looks like someone’s in a bad mood.

—No, I’m not.

He was trying to see if anyone were whispering about him since he was the one to blame for what happened yesterday.

[We would provide you with all the weapons that you would need but you are permitted to bring your personal weapons if you do so desire.]

He connected to the internet in search of the weapons that they needed. He wanted to buy a new set of gloves since the one that they have gives off a bad odor. The reason he used those items and weapons instead of his own was that his personal weapons were either broken or had become dull at the moment.

However, he won’t be able to get his personal weapons now that he’s there. He had spent so much of his money on weapons so they really worked well while they lasted.

“Some of these weapons are cool.”

“They’re like a work of art.”

Those weapons were everything but ordinary, every piece of it was made and crafted by the best weapon developers, the Aietem. It was the best of the best but none of it were special in his eyes.

“What kind of weapon is that!?” A hunter shouted as he stared at those set of weapons. The weapons that remained inside of the protective glass had their brands carved on them.

One of the hunters then curiously said, “But they’re not from the Aietem…”

A lot of high-leveled hunters were gathered into the shopping area so they could see those artifacts. However, Jaehwang just didn’t understand what made them so special. Besides, there was nothing good about their price or their design.

—Are you going to buy something?

—I don’t know, they’re basically useless.

Jaehwang replied to the spirit. A stream of energy then came out of nowhere and surrounded him right before a fancy black cloak appeared on his shoulders.

“Ooooh!” The others in the room watched in awe.

Although the weapons that he had were remarkable, the sudden appearance of that cloak looked like a scene taken out of a movie.

—You’re doing this on purpose?

—Of course.

Rather than hiding his weapons, he decided to take everything in the open for everyone to see.

“W-What clan are you apart of?” Said by the woman who walked up to him.

A hunter’s set of weapons were usually provided to them by their respective clans. His head was covered with a hood so no one could see his face and that made him look cooler.

“Advanced” Jaehwang was tired so his answer was short but the people still showered him with their admiration.

“A-Advanced!”

“Woah! That’s so awesome!” All of the other hunters around gasped and whispered in awe.

Jaehwang didn’t care for their attention but it was nice to be around with the hunters that had the same rank as him. His hunter license was one of the rarest kinds but that’s fine, the hunters that surrounded him weren’t too far behind him in terms of skill.

The woman went away to get him a weapon according to his clan name but she couldn’t find anything. Was there anything even there for him in the first place?
