Chapter 233: Don’t be condescending – 2
#1
“You don’t have any?”
“Excuse me?”
“Excuse you? Why did you call me?
“Uhh… I’ll get back to you after.”
Lim Joon-seok squeezed his jaw as he pressed Five Go on his game.
This guy was a bit dumb. Joon-seok was curious about the appearance of the man who dared to call the Martial Arts House through this dumb guy.
When Joon-seok was struggling about the issue with the Archery Master, he was contacted by Irumi for a short random request and without asking anything further, he accepted it. In his intuition, he thought that he would do even the lowest of tasks as long as it was given by the Martial Arts house. Was it pride? Was it honor? The location? He didn’t need any of these.
‘For the country… for the people… I can take care of horses.’
If anyone heard his conviction, they would laugh at him from behind but he had lived with these words in his heart all his life. Although he can retire from the specialty department, receive his pension, and live a comfortable life, this was one of the reasons why he chose to stay at the office.
Although he intended to do anything that they would ask, he still thought that this was a bit too much.
‘Even with my unconditional commitment, don’t they know who I am…’
He was sure that they intended to submit to him completely.
He decided to go down as low as possible to regain the trust that he had lost but when he got into practice, he learned something.
What did the Martial Arts House want from him? Why did they ask him to come here?
To see and feel.
Jaehwang wanted to teach him that the privileged people of Korea were still unenlightened. Therefore, at least the Korean Hunter Secretariat should keep in line with him.
Joon-seok felt responsible. Perhaps this was the responsibility of the Korean Hunter Secretariat. Staff like Director Lee, who had been dismissed a while ago, still held the job. These condescending elites kept trying the Martial Arts House.
They were testing if the Martial Arts House were of the same or different compared to others. They were intending to keep the same practice if they were of the same kind, and if not, corrupt them to be in the same line.
This was a very common to Korea’s top 0.1 elites even with their long history.
“What the hell is this, do you think this is funny? ”
“Sorry.”
He repeated his words, wanting to end the call.
“Can’t he grasp the idea of the situation? Do you really had to ask the higher-ups for these things?! Give the phone to your director who is by your side.”
The other side fell silent for a moment. He broke down two of the four parts in the Go-Stop room and turned off the game with a satisfied face.
After a while, the voice of someone who seemed to be in a higher position picked up.
“Hello. This is Jang Chong-chan, Assistant Manager of the W Group.”
It was only the Assistant Manager.
“Haha…”
There was no use for these guys anymore. As the assistant to the President, he’s probably too sly to talk to. This would get Joon-seok nowhere.
“Huh, you’re only an Assistant Manager… Hang up, I’ll just call president Jang. ”
“Please, Hold on for a while…”
The highly revered name of the VIP came out of Joon-seok’s mouth like some grandpa living next door.
“…or shall I call the IRS?”
“Um…”
“How’s the auditor? What do you think? Can you figure out what went wrong now? ”
“Please don’t do that… Sorry.”
“No, I don’t need you to be uncomfortable. Would the W-Group like to be a part of the 8 Tier Monster Qualifier next year? Can you afford it?”
He started listing some light threats.
There are many other things that the Secretary-General of the Korean Republic could do.
“Sorry. Sorry. We’ll never do this again.”
“No, but I wonder how would this some assistant keep talking to me?”
“That’s… that’s…”
“The chairman must only hire those who stutter.”
He dropped the call after 10 fun more minutes of him insulting the W group. It wasn’t that fun but it was something that they should feel and learn about. Besides, it was not that bad, they had gained something as well.
This role offered many chances to meet the Archery Master.
“There have been 161 cases received so far about the VJ’s… ”
A young man’s voice was heard behind his back as he leaned to his chair. The Secretary-General’s eyes widened as he turned his head to look at him.
“Master”
He got up from his seat and folded his waist in about 90 degrees.
“Haha, what brings you to this shabby place …”
“What do you mean shabby? It’s where my family is.”
“Huh, family… I felt good after listening to that word.”
Just a little while ago, he harassed a man under the authority of the Secretary-General of the Korean Hunter Secretariat, and now, he’s bending his body backward to send a gaze of approval to Jaehwang.
Jaehwang laughed. ‘What a funny guy.’
“Let’s have a cup of coffee.”
“Yes, yes.”
The emperor went out with the secretary-general. Familiar with Jaehwang’s down-to-earth nature, he accepted Jaehwang’s vending machine coffee with glee.
Sitting on the bench, Jaehwang first opened his mouth.
“I have a secretary working on VJ cases, are you okay?”
“Hahaha, it’s not bad. No, it’s very good, actually.” The Secretary-General exaggeratedly shook his hands. “This job lets you face the world’s strongest 10-star hunters one on one.”
People at Martial Arts House who see Jaehwang all the time might not think this was a big deal, but those hunters would want this coffee to be paying billions of dollars.
The first to speak was Jaehwang.
“I heard about you from my grandfather.”
“Yes.”
“You trained with my grandfather?”
The secretary nodded with a sad look.
“I was trained every day as part of the special force. It was so harsh that I almost wanted to forget about it but still, those days were indeed rewarding.”
It was a long time ago, but it was a valuable experience in the secretary’s life.
“My grandfather said that you are a trustworthy person, so I thought that we should give you a chance. ”
“I see. The elderly man… ”
“In fact, at that time, I tried to ignore the Korean Hunter Secretariat and tried to communicate directly with the World Hunter Secretariat, but when I heard this from my grandfather, I knew I was too intolerant. Sorry.” Jaehwang bowed his head.
“No, you’re not intolerant. Although I have just started in the office as a general secretary, I do not think that it was excusable. If I had monitored them more firmly, they couldn’t have done it. ” The secretary-general bowed his head as if it was difficult to receive Jaehwang’s bow.
But soon, he looked at Jaehwang with a determined gaze. It was not like his crouching stance before. He looked straight into Jaehwang’s eyes and said, “but the Korean Hunter Secretariat is still healthy. Please believe me on this one. ”
Jaehwang smiled a little at his words.
‘He is a good person. I don’t know anything about this person yet, however, I heard stories about him from Kwon Je. I didn’t believe it at first. The man in his early fifties, he’s constantly trying to keep a low profile but he used to be a grim reaper in the special division. He said that he was a man who couldn’t be broken.”
Men do not change, however, the fact that such a person can teach himself to bow like this was telling Jaehwang that Joon-seok was not an ordinary man.
Jaehwang made some changes to the original plan and it was to include this man in his plans for the future.
“I know. No, even if I don’t believe Hunter Secretariat, I will believe in you.”
“Thank you.”
At Jaehwang’s words, he bowed once more.
Jaehwang did the same thing, this was a man to be respected.
The Secretary-general picked up the coffee with a lighter look. It has cooled down, but the taste was better than ever. He felt strange; the mana waves that emanated from Jaehwang’s body covered both of them. He then stared into his eyes with a firm look, saying, “I blocked them from spreading around and from now on, what I say should never go outside.”
The secretary nodded and after listening to Jaehwang, his face began to harden. He became more serious than ever.
“Is that… really?”
“Yeah, the three dimensions will be one in three years at the latest and it’s not just the three races coming in together. It would summon a great cataclysm that would kill millions of people.”
“I don’t want to imagine… but I see… and… if so, that Baek Lin… ”
“Yes. He is still looking for the dimensional separation device somewhere in Dark Earth. If he finds the separator, I will go there and reactivate it with him. If that works then no more gates will appear in between the three dimensions. ”
“Would no more gates mean that there will be no more monsters?”
“There will be no monsters except for the ones who have already come and settled on earth.”
He nodded with a firm look in response to Jaehwang. “I see, that’s why you said it’s a secret. People who love the appearance of new monsters and the pioneers of the new dimensions are going to hate it.”
“Yes.”
“There will be a tremendous impact on the mana stone industry, which has been noted as the world’s new growth engine. We could expect the prices of mana stones surging after this. I can guarantee that there would be a lot of people who would say that they would rather have the bloodthirsty battle they had 60 years ago. They would go as far as to say that things are different now.”
The monsters of the Dark Earth were different, even if they had nuclear bombs and even if they had dozens of Jaehwangs, they won’t be able to stop them.
“Go to Dark Earth and reactivate the dimensional separator…” While replaying Jaehwang’s words, he suddenly opened his eyes wide. “But if you activate the dimensional separator again, would you be able to come back?”
Jaehwang shook his head at his question. “That’s something that you don’t need to worry about.”
It should not be revealed that Baeklin can create gates but he misunderstood Jaehwang’s words in a different way.
‘He is not thinking of coming back.’
After all, Jaehwang was so young. He was the world’s strongest… he was only a young man in his mid-20s, the absolute man who silenced the Ogamushi, which was evaluated to belong at the 10th tier. Honestly, it may be better for this young man to combine the three dimensions instead of separating them. He would need to cooperate around the world to prepare for that day and live proudly in the name of the world’s strongest.
Of course, there will be a great sacrifice for that to happen and in it, he would become a legend.
He will be revered as a god, as the earth’s mightiest.
However, he chose to drive the monsters out of the earth at the expense of himself. He was willing to remain alone in Dark Earth full of monsters.
“I understand your will.” The general secretary bowed once again. His waist was bent over before, but now, his bow was different.
It was now a bow of utter respect.
