Chapter 332: Chapter 332

“Can I bring you some coffee? Or beer? Or whiskey?” Anna asked with seductive eyes.

If he could have it his way, he wanted to immediately start an R rated romance with her, but he had to hold back.

It could have been a trap, and more importantly, he was only at X-HIT because of Min Sung Kang’s orders.

The mission came first.

He couldn’t make any mistakes.

“Can I get a glass of water?”

Ho Sung Lee then put a cigarette in his mouth.

While he lit it up, Anna fetched him a glass of lukewarm water.

While he drank the water with much thought, Anna sat down close to Ho Sung Lee.

Ho Sung Lee stared at her with confused eyes.

“I’ll be the one to show you around X-HIT for the time being.”

Ho Sung Lee nodded.

It appeared that once he became a member of X-HIT, he would be introduced to what kind of work he would do, and the one in charge of him was Anna.

“When can I start work?”

Ho Sung Lee believed that everything would begin once he asked that question, but he was mistaken.

Anna shook her head and said, “There’s not much work to do. You can get paid for simply being a member here.”

Ho Sung Lee knitted his brows.

“What do you mean?”

“You look confused.”

Anna looked at Ho Sung Lee with interest and continued.

According to her explanation, he could get his monthly pay just by being a member of the organization.

There were two roles for the hunters.

The first was to maintain the members of the drug organization.

Upon command, they would chase down a member who either betrayed, stole drugs, or obtained personal gains and kill them.

The second was war. Since X-HIT was one of many drug organizations, war was inevitable.

In order for the X-HIT boss to make more money and for the members to continue getting paid, they had to get rid of competition.

Ho Sung Lee was at a loss for words.

That was because considering the limited number of hunters, this system would inevitably make the number of hunters decrease dramatically.

What if another dungeon appeared and there weren’t enough hunters?

Of course, Ho Sung Lee couldn’t ask those questions to Anna.

They were all blinded by money.

That meant that money was more important than their future.

That was when he realized that at the center of the solution that could resolve the anxiousness of the future was Min Sung Kang.

Ho Sung Lee’s mind went blank.

Anna leaned in closer.

“Hunters are popular among the ladies. They’re strong and special. And for a specially charming man like you, I’m sure you’ll get to meet many women within X-HIT. Many women want to date hunters.”

It was almost as if a devil was whispering.

He had a feeling he knew about how the drug organizations controlled by hunters were really like.

Ho Sung Lee put a cigarette in his mouth with a blank face.

If there happened to be a drug war, did he have to participate in killing hunters? If he didn’t go that far, it would be hard to obtain information.

There were limits to the information net of the Shadow Guild, so his job was to obtain the information that they couldn’t get.

But if he didn’t kill hunters in the war and got involved, it would be hard to go deep.

His head throbbed.

***

Time passed and the day came.

That morning, there was nothing different about Min Sung.

He got out of bed, drank some water, used his magic energy to clear his head, and then showered.

The time of the gathering was 11 AM, and since it was currently 7 AM, he had plenty of time.

As soon as he came out of the shower, Woong Jang was preparing breakfast in the kitchen, and Sia Jang greeted him with toast in her mouth and left the house.

Just as he was about to enter the kitchen, he got a call from Ho Sung Lee.

Min Sung answered the phone and accepted a hot cup of coffee from Chef Jang.

Sir, it’s me, Ho Sung.

“What is it?”

He sipped his hot Americano and went out to the garden. Unlike Brazil, he enjoyed the cold winter breeze and continued the conversation.

Ho Sung Lee entered X-HIT as a member and delivered the information he found. There wasn’t much useful information. They were just having fun and fooling around, but that itself meant something.

They were able to confirm how the organization functioned.

But there’s a problem. I think there will be a war soon.

Ho Sung Lee expressed his troubles.

Although he was okay with securing information from within, Ho Sung Lee felt as though there was an issue with killing hunters.

“Find the head of X-HIT and bring him to me alive.”

Like I said, in order to meet with the head, I have to gain trust within X-HIT. In order to do that, war is inevitable. Are you saying I should get involved with the war?

“Whether you kill them or let them live is up to you. Just bring the head to me. That’s my order.”

Min Sung hung up.

After enjoying the garden, he returned to the living room. At that moment…

“Sir, would you like to have breakfast?” Woong Jang asked.

Min Sung nodded, and after handing over his coffee cup, he moved into the kitchen.

After sitting down, Woong Jang placed a pot of soybean stew in front of him.

‘I wonder how his soybean stew will taste.’

As soon as he sat down, Min Sung picked up his spoon to scoop up rice and some soybean soup.

When he tasted the soybean soup, he could taste that the seasoning was just right.

It was slightly sweet, but that was perfect for Min Sung’s taste.

As for the tofu, they were cut into tiny cubes.

He put some tofu, crab, and green onion on top of some rice, mixed it together, and tasted it, allowing him to enjoy the taste of the soybean soup and rice together.

The tofu melted in his mouth while the salty taste of the soybean soup was deep.

Min Sung chewed on a pretty piece of egg roll while thinking about what to say to the presidents and hunter leaders before looking over at Woong Jang.

“Today’s lunch will be outside.”

“Yes, Sir. Then I shall reserve.”

“No. I’ll do that.”

Woong Jang smiled.

“Yes, Sir.”

Bowl poked out from beneath the table and climbed up on Min Sung’s leg to his lap.

When Min Sung saw Bowl staring up at him, he took out a piece of magic stone from his item window and threw it up in the air.

Bowl leaped. He caught it with his mouth and then landed on the ground like a gymnast.

Meanwhile…

“One more bowl.”

Min Sung pushed his empty rice bowl after finishing it all.

A delicious soybean stew had the power to empty rice bowls in an instant.

“You have an appetite today. You usually only have one bowl of rice,” said Woong Jang while scooping more rice.

“Since I have to meet people I don’t like today, I should fill my belly. If I get too sensitive, I might end up killing a few of them.”

In response to Min Sung’s cruel words, Woong Jang smiled warmly.

That was because he knew that with Min Sung’s personality, he was all talk.

But what if Min Sung Kang was really angry?

Then words didn’t matter.

… Because he only acted.

Woong Jang simply hoped that that moment would come at today’s meeting.

***

Ho Sung Lee sat at the bar table and felt the urge to drink all of the alcohol that he could see.

Min Sung Kang told him… to make his own decisions.

Didn’t that pretty much mean he should participate in the war?

Since he had known Min Sung Kang for a long time, he knew his personality better than anyone, but despite that fact, he felt troubled.

But Ho Sung Lee smirked anyway. He thought about how he was back when he was with the Diamond Clan, but that world wasn’t so easy either.

It was cruel in that world as well. It was just that he changed his mind after seeing the bigger picture.

He compared the past to the present and felt confused about who he really was.

That was a very painful thing… because he had to think about the cruel past again.

Also, all he had done in the last 3 days was fool around.

“Damn it…”

While he mumbled to himself while looking in the distance, Anna sat down next to Ho Sung Lee.

“You seem down today. What’s the matter?”

Ho Sung Lee licked his dry lips. He organized his thoughts and made his decision.

He couldn’t let the situation control him.

If the road was closed, he had to open it.

Ho Sung Lee looked at her and opened his mouth.

“I want to meet with the head of X-HIT. How can I do that?”

“Why do you want to meet him?”

Her seductive face changed for the first time.

It was clear on her face that she had her guard up.

“I came here because I wanted to make money, so I don’t want to make such petty money just to fool around.”

“I don’t think you’re at a high enough level,” said Anna coldly.

“My level might be low, but I’m good at my job.”

“What can you do?”

“I can make the impossible possible.”

Anna laughed.

“Are you saying you can use magic?”

“I can do even more than that. This is a type of business. Please introduce me to him.”

“Like I said, you can’t meet him at your current level.”

“Does that mean I can meet him once my level is higher?”

“Meeting him isn’t that simple.”

Min Sung Kang told him to bring the head to him, but he didn’t tell him how.

He also said he didn’t want a commotion, but he couldn’t satisfy all conditions if he wanted to get it done.

Ho Sung Lee decided to take on the risk and resolve this his own way.
