My Range is One Million-Chapter 229 - Background Fight – 1
Chapter 229: Background Fight – 1
#1
Lee Jinhyun, the leader of the Hunter Secretariat’s Villain arrest group became worried. This guy was not afraid of the Hunter Secretariat? And he’s just a Hunter? Looking sideways, he found that some were still filming their situation.
“Damn it”
Dozens of people were now watching as well as on camera. Now, he couldn’t even back off.
“Hmm, we’ll be slowly investigating. Call him whoever it is.”
Lee Jinhyun looked at the back of Jaehwang’s head, not aware that Jaehwang was laughing at him. He took his two men and started checking his identity.

*phone ringing*
“Hello”
A polished voice of a middle-aged man came in.
“Hello, how are you?”
“Uhh, sorry but may I ask who is calling please?”
It was a new number that appeared on the man’s phone. The man who received Jaehwang’s call was someone in a position who does not receive calls from an unknown number. His phone number, to begin with, was not open to the public.
“You gave me your business card some time ago. It’s the Martial Arts House’s Chun Jaehwang”
The moment Jaehwang said his name, the voice of the crowd increased significantly.
“The Master Archer!!” the man in the background said in an enthusiastic voice.
“Yes, sorry I was a little late to call you back,”
“No worries, thank you for calling me, rather!”
The man yelled as if he just won the lottery but this reaction was natural because now, he had the phone of the world’s strongest 10-star hunter.
Jaehwang was not as excited as the man. He had no plans of revealing his phone number to anyone.
Jaehwang called rather impulsively but he felt a little bad that the man on the other end of the line was so thrilled to talk to him. He felt annoyed even if he didn’t really mind it.
“Actually, I called in because I got into some trouble because of the hunter license you gave me last time we met…”
“Huh? What do you mean?” His tone became embarrassed.
Jaehwang explained the current situation to him and as soon as he heard it, he signed and replied, “Ah, I am so sorry, I made a huge mistake. In fact, I had already talked with the World Hunter Secretariat, but the card got unexpectedly produced ahead of its schedule so I was able to give it to you. Hunter licenses weren’t used that much so I thought that it wouldn’t be a problem.”
“Hmm, yes, as I expected…” Jaehwang nodded.
He was right, it was rarely used for some special circumstances but the secretariat’s worst possible scenario came true.
“Anyway, it’s a bit embarrassing. Isn’t it ridiculous that I have to show my power in front of them to try to prove myself?”
“You’re right. I… I’m going right now… no, to those arresters… I’ll call them first!”
The secretary-general was a man of many duties, but Jaehwang was the man who got him to where he was. Jaehwang might not know, but the secretary-general was a pro-Invincible man who was able to get his present position on a condition that he would devote himself strictly to the needs of the Prince and Jaehwang.
But, Jaehwang was not buying his suggestion.
“No, their actions were a bit radical but, they were doing their jobs and I don’t want to blame them for it.”
“Wow, with all that talent and character too…” The secretary-general praised him even before he could finish his sentence.
“Unfortunately, they are not listening to me. The Secretary-General who gave me this card should come and explain it to them,” Jaehwang replied with his firm voice and he noticed the meaning behind it.
“30 minutes … no! Please give me 20 minutes,” said the Secretary-General.
Jaehwang sent his location at him before he placed his phone back in his pocket. It was a little mischievous game, but whatever, it would be fun to watch.
Then he heard a few people groan behind him.
“Ugh, my chest hurts…”
“My legs…”
It was the people who were injured in the midst of their arrest. They said that they called an ambulance but Jaehwang felt that it was quite serious.
“Goongi, can you treat them?”
“Hmm? Why?” Goongi asked, seemingly hinting why Jaehwang wasn’t doing it himself since he had the same skills like hers.
“Please, you’re faster than me.”
She reluctantly rose from her seat at the table across the street and walked with a confused expression of a smile to those who were lying down. She broke the spell on herself that was hiding her from everyone.
*Gasps*
As she walked over to the crowd, everyone stared at her with their eyes emptied by awe.
Goongi walked on, not minding the attention, and lightly touched the people who had fallen unnoticed. The moment she touched them, they looked like they’ve received god’s grace.
“My legs are …”
“My arms …”
All of their pain disappeared or maybe, they could no longer think about it. Were they better now or were they confused by her beauty?
Goongi even healed the villain lady who was beaten up by the arrest squad. Then, she turned her head towards Jaehwang with her hands on her waist. With a dazed look, she seemed to be hinting that she does not care about the other people’s attention…
“I’m sorry,” Jaehwang gently admitted his fault.
He asked her with an ulterior motive and with her actions, she showed that she knew what he was thinking. There, silently, she said, ‘don’t involve me in these kinds of human affairs’.
Now that she gained all of her powers back, she was definitely not a ‘kind god’.
He did not expect her to be a typical ‘help out the good man/scold the bad man’ type of god before, but he was quite sure that she probably had a distinctive personality. But then again, calling her personality “distinctive” was a very watered-down expression that Jaehwang had invented recently.
Goongi walked back to the bench where she originally sat like that was her own spot.
“This is awkward.”
Frankly, Jaehwang was a little greedy.
He wanted her to be more humane and get used to a human’s gaze but Goongi had no interest in any other human besides himself. Or rather, she did not even treat any other human unaffiliated with Jaehwang to be of the same kind of being as him.

Even the two guards who were checking the civilians stopped to look at her beauty. Then, when Goongi sat down and controlled her presence, they looked at her as if they’ve just woken up from a dream.
She was quite tall for a woman, she had a kind of aura inexpressible by words and her body had a sensual charm. She carried herself with elegance like a queen but her gentle smile seemed as shy as an innocent girl experiencing her first love.
In addition, there was an unprocessed wildness about her that made their chest pound. In short, her entire figure could be treated like magic itself.
But the problem was that this beauty behaved like the lover of this suspicious man. It was as if they could read each other just by their gaze like an old couple.
The two arresters were filled with jealousy along with an insidious desire to try her.
“Yeah, damn that pretty bitch …”
“Touched by another man, but still…”
“When our leader breaks that dude, should we try to take her as an excuse?”
“Yeah, sounds like we can pull that off.”
Beyond just locker room talk, they have reached to the point of plotting a crime. At that time, Lee Jinhyun, who was quietly approaching behind them, said quietly in their ears, “Come here.”
“Yes! Brother”
In his call, the two came close to the leader, Lee Jinhyun as if they were his limbs. He said quietly, “I don’t think that guy is a normal person.”
“Yes?”
“What is that …”
Lee Jinhyun was also taken away momentarily by the woman’s beauty, but soon, he came to his senses.
He had speculated that Jaehwang would be a good prospect for a big clan or a child of a clan master. He himself did not know much about this field because he had just joined, but his intuition said that Jaehwang was much higher than that.
If Jaehwang was just a clan master, it would not be much of a problem but if he was bigger than that, things would get complicated.
The dandy one of the two replied with a smile at his mouth. “No, why do you say so? You are the real big shot here.”
The other one nodded back.
Jinhyun, their leader, probably had a great background compared to any house other in Korea.
“Right. My brother, to be honest, you are only temporarily rotting in the bureau to accumulate experience. If it was like before, you’d already be in a managerial position.”
“Today is the second time you’ve been arrested and you’ve captured Han Yeon-soo, a high-ranked hunter even among the three-star hunters. Really… there’s no one like you in Korea. That invincible… hmm…”
He stopped himself from talking about unnecessary things.
If it wasn’t for Invincible that was now known around the world, he wouldn’t have been doing anything like this but as long as they were watching, he had to do some noticeable stuff.
Lee’s father was the director of the Korean Hunter Office.
Not only that, his grandfather was the owner of a large hunter-only hospital that was one of the top ten in South Korea, and his maternal grandfather was a five-time member of the parliament, though he was now in the opposing party.
His future goal was to become a politician wielding a great power under the influence of his maternal grandfather. Thus, originally, the Hunter Office of the Republic of Korea had no meaning. But then, the situation and the environment changed.
The Republic of Korea’s Hunter Secretariat, which carried no weight before, now held a reputation going through the sky. There, he decided that the position at the Hunter Office of the Republic of Korea would be a good line for his political history in the future and by his father’s power, he was assigned as a captain of the arrest troops. Of course, it was clear nepotism, but there was no one in the secretariat who said anything about it.
“I don’t feel good about this,”
Lee Jinhyun took his smartphone out of his pocket. Since Jaehwang said that he was a Hunter, his father who was the director of the Republic of Korea’s Hunter Secretariat would know better than him. After a brief ring tone, his father, Sang-man, answered the call.
