MTL - Solo Leveling (Only I Level Up)-Chapter 377

I don't know what happened to the president, even if he used the most advanced healing potion, the big hole in his chest didn't shrink at all.

'Damn it!'

Seeing this elder who always tried his best for him was in crisis, Cheng Jin-Woo couldn't help breathing quickly.

Suddenly, thinking of something, he regained hope.

Holding a tiny bit of hope, Cheng Jin-Woo quickly took out the "Sacred Water of Life".

At this moment, someone grabbed his wrist.

"You don't have to... do that. "

It was Chairman Go Gun-li who opened his eyes with difficulty.

"President?"

As if he would die in the next second, Gao Jianli was panting heavily.

He moved his face with difficulty, only to confirm that the ones beside him were Cheng Jin-Woo and his summoned beast.

Then, a smile appeared on his face.

"...You're here. Thank you."

"Please wait a moment, I will send you to the hospital right away!"

Cheng Jinyu spoke anxiously, but Gao Jianli shook his head.

"It's useless... the power that attacked me... can't be solved by treatment..."

"President!"

I wanted to restrain the president from speaking in frustration, but the words stuck in my throat in the next second.

Go Gun-ri's trembling hands were gripping Seong Jin-Woo's wrist tightly.

"Listen up!"

Gao Jianli opened his eyes vigorously, and he looked at Cheng Jin-Woo with incomparably tenacious eyes.

"I got in touch with great beings and wills. Their plans, our common enemy with them, and what we should do..."

The blood gushing from Goh Gun-ri made him speechless.

"But... Fortunately, I have you... I never thought you would have such a powerful power... God, thank you very much..."

Gao Jianli's eyes were instantly filled with tears.

Every word he uttered was extremely embarrassing.

"The existence of the portal and the dungeon is not for them. They chose to protect us, cough, cough..."

At this moment, along with a cough, black blood clots spewed out of Gao Jianli's mouth.

Cheng Jin-Woo hurriedly wanted to use Shenshui, but Gao Jianli shook his head.

Because, he knows his current physical state better than anyone else.

"One day...you will face a choice. Please be sure to stay on the human side when the time comes."

Hearing Go Gun-ri's voice mixed with pain, Cheng Jin-Woo's heart felt as if it was being torn apart.

But what I can do now is to listen to the chairman's speech quietly here, and there is nothing else.

"Cough, cough...I wanted to fight with a young man like you but...from the very beginning, it was impossible to fight against a body like mine..."

Gao Jianli confessed his sincerity for the first time.

Some people accused him of forming the association to make money, while others insulted him as a crazy old man blinded by power.

Although he himself has gained great strength, he can only be angry at his body that cannot exert its due strength.

Having gained his strength in old age, he has always been troubled.

When he was looking for where to use his power, he broke his fortune and set up an association, determined to communicate with hunters at the forefront through the association, and fulfill the mission of carrying this power.

"But...cough, cough, I don't regret it now. Because there are young people like you to take care of the aftermath for me."

despair.

Without the strength to hold on tightly to the warmth in his hand, Gao Jianli's hand dropped powerlessly.

The ceiling of the chairman's room is particularly bright today.

Are the tears overflowing?

In order to prevent the light from flashing on him, Gao Jianli gently closed his eyes.

"Ah... I don't know how lucky I am... Thank you, really... Thank you..."

At this moment, the surroundings were silent.

What is known is that Gao Jianli burned out the last spark of his life.

After confirming that the chairman stopped breathing, Cheng Jin-Woo gently covered the chairman's eyes without saying a word.

The president's shining eyes, that kind smile, that trusting sincerity, all the scenes of the past flashed into Cheng Jin-Woo's mind.

And just like the gratitude expressed by the president at the end, the expression of the president on his deathbed seemed calmer than ever.

Cheng Jin-Woo raised his head.

Tick ​​tock, tick tock.

Beyond the broken wall.

The sky has been dark since early morning and rain drops drop after drop.

***

The next day, many quick reports dominated the headlines of the newspapers.

The news that Jonas, the great hunter of country B, died violently, and his body was found by the nearby river; the news that the president of the hunter association in country H was stabbed in the chest and died tragically.

And, the news that Hunter Seong Jin-Woo has returned to Country H.

Chapter 202 Warning

Christopher, Reed, Jonas, the big hunter from Country B, and Gao Jianli, the president of the Hunters Association from Country H.

The hunters who can be called the strongest, their deaths were reported one after another, which caused the whole world to fall into chaos.

The enemy can kill the hunters who stand at the peak of strength, so who else can defeat them?

Several major media outlets in various countries reported the deaths of the three hunters for several days, and the Hunter Administration of Country M even made a special statement on this matter.

The content is that the guilds of various countries are already working together to find the murderer.

But people's unease did not disappear easily.

This is also unavoidable, after all, the existence like a copper wall and an iron wall that protected him from the monsters has collapsed.

When the hunter world and all major coal bodies were in trouble, the H Country Hunter Association released a video to the media.

It is a video recorded by the surveillance camera in the chairman's office of the Go Jianli Association.

"Oh my God!"

"how come!"

People were shocked.

Two men appeared on the screen.

A man who was clearly Chairman Go Gun-ri, but who had his chest pierced with something sharp...not human by any means.

Warcraft!

"It's an ice elf!"

The video captured the appearance of the monster that should have been in the dungeon appearing in the world and killing the top hunter.

The appearance of Warcraft was magnified and spread to all parts of the world.

People immediately understood.

Just as hunters can hunt monsters, they can also be hunted by monsters.

This fear is the fear of transdimensionality.

Ordinary people will be protected by hunters, so who will protect the hunters?

[Chairman Go Gun-ri was killed while Seong Jin-Woo was away, so I can't let Hunter leave my country. ]

There is even such a public opinion.

In such a chaotic situation, the focus of public opinion has already been on Cheng Jin-Woo.

Seong Jin-Woo's relationship with the chairman is known to the world, so everyone wants to know his reaction.

However, Cheng Jin-Woo didn't say a word.

in a few days.

The investigation into the cause of Chairman Gao Jianli's death has been completed, and at the moment when the funeral was about to be held, Cheng Jin-Woo quietly found the Hunter's Association.

***

He saw the haggard Wu Zhenzhe in the waiting room.

"Sorry, Hunter Seong Jin-Woo. I haven't been very active lately..."

Wu Zhenzhe apologized to him stroking his messy beard.

The day I came back from country M.

As soon as he got off the plane, he heard the news like a bolt from the blue, and Minister Wu Zhenzhe immediately rushed back to the Hunter Association.

It's been three days since I met Seong Jin-Woo again.

Before getting down to business, Seong Jin-Woo asked.

"The video captured by the surveillance video...why did you omit the second half?"

To be precise, the video released by the Association only goes until the King of Severe Cold shows his face.

Seong Jin-Woo and Bell who entered the chairman's office of the association afterward have not been made public.

Wu Zhenzhe scratched his head and replied helplessly.

"Our Hunter Association's most important thing is the safety of the hunters. Therefore, we judge that you cannot casually disclose your hidden abilities."

The hunter's skills are equivalent to the cards in the hunter's hand, and disclosing all the skills also means exposing one's hole cards.

The higher the level, the more you need to hide your strength, and this can also become a breakthrough for various accidents.

Cheng Jin-Woo in country M has the ability to teleport to the Hunter Association building in country H.

The senior executives of the Hunter Association judged that this astonishing strength cannot be disclosed to the world without the consent of the person.

"If the president is still alive, he should make the same decision."

As a person who is more loyal to Gao Jianli and respects him than anyone else, Wu Zhenzhe's eyes instantly turned red when he was mentioned.

"So that's why you looked so stiff before the flight that day..."

Cheng Jin-Woo nodded and calmly admitted.

Let’s talk about why Cheng Jin-Woo was not quite right the day he returned to country H. After watching the video, he finally understood the reason.

"Is it a monster that even the power of Hunter Cheng Jin-Woo can't stop?"

Cheng Jin-Woo shook his head.

"When I arrived, it was already…”

Seeing Cheng Xiaoyu's expression gradually darkened, Wu Zhenzhe lowered his head.

"I'm so sorry that Hunter Seong Jin-Woo is obviously in a heavy heart, but I'm in a hurry..."

"It doesn't matter."

Wu Zhenzhe knew better than anyone that Cheng Jin-Woo was not responsible for this matter. So what Cheng Jin-Woo said was okay, made his heart ache even more.

"I still can't believe it."
