Solo Leveling: Ragnarok – 140



Episode 140

[Solord.]

The moment Suho entered Jisan Prison Ver sent a warning.

“okay.”

Suho also nodded and looked ahead.

Appearances of popularity were felt throughout the prison.

They say the criminal always appears at the scene of the crime again is that true?

But no.

“The competition has increased again.”

“Are you a summoner?”

The bounty hunters who arrived at the prison first frowned as soon as they saw Suho.

To be precise it was because of the small wolf that was sniffing in front of Suho and looking around.

“Is this a summon specialized in tracking?”

“Tsk. “There’s one more annoying competitor.”

Suho was able to feel once again the fact that the bounty hunter industry is a fiercely competitive society as he looked at the wary eyes on him.

However among them there were people who did not consider Suho simply as a competitor but approached him with goodwill.

“Hey do you have a separate team?”

“Looking at it it doesn’t look like it’s a battle summon. How about coming with us?”

“Us and the team….”

In dungeon raids which have no meaning other than battle-related abilities the situation was completely different when the summoner was an unpopular class or was hunting villains like this.

In particular summoners with a developed sense of smell or special tracking abilities were very welcome on this floor.

[The Solord’s popularity is sky-high.]

Ver nodded with great satisfaction looking at his well-raised child.

But apart from that Suho had no intention of teaming up with them.

When Suho flatly rejected their love calls they retreated each time.

“hmm. “It would be dangerous for a summoner to encounter a villain alone.”

“Maybe it’s because I’m still young. “Well it’s about going through hardships while you’re young.”

“You look like a beginner so don’t ask for help later?”

Numerous old people(?) gave generous advice but Suho paid no heed.

However there were also people who gave their business cards into Suho’s hands as if they still had regrets even after stepping down.

“If you change your mind later please contact me. “We will probably run into each other often in the future anyway.”

‘…What Baek Mi-ho said is correct.’

Suho remembered what Baek Miho had said about the lack of workers.

“The number of bounty hunters is clearly too small for the scale of the job.”

[It’s probably not all people here. Since the incident happened two days ago there are probably more people who have already stopped by here to check and then left to go somewhere else.]

Suho also nodded at Ver’s words.

Just as Suho was the first to come here to investigate most bounty hunters probably started their investigation here.

This was because by examining the traces of battle remaining here one could roughly determine the level of the villains.

A kind of estimate.

“Hmm. “I guess there are a lot of people who are stronger than I thought.”

“Should I just back off this time? “I’d rather run around the dungeon.”

“Let’s do that.”

There were also hunters who decided that this villain hunt would not be easy and turned away without hesitation.

It was very contradictory to the White Tiger Guild which jumped into this job for the safety of citizens.

[Actually the White Tiger Guild is something special but that’s the general appearance of hunters. Usually there is no one who risks their life for something that doesn’t make any money.]

Quay whispered to Suho as he watched the hunters leaving the prison one by one.

[The reason the White Tiger Guild is acting the way it is now is probably because the White Tiger Guild leader was a firefighter before awakening.]

“You were a firefighter?”

It was said that S-class hunter Baek Yun-ho’s previous job was to risk his life to save citizens.

When Suho showed interest in something he didn’t know Quay’s eyes lit up.

It was a chance to show off to Suho.

[yes. But ultimately being able to act like you do now will only be temporary.]

Quay a former vice president of a large guild evaluated the White Tiger Guild in a cold tone.

[As time passes the Baekho Guild Leader will eventually change his policy to not doing anything that does not make a profit. Ultimately money is needed to maintain a guild especially a large guild.]

“I don’t think this is something a vice president who was prone to embezzlement would say.”

[Hmm.]

When he hit the nail on the head Quay quietly disappeared into the shadows.

Seeing that Suho smiled and thought.

‘It’s fascinating. The leader of the Baekho Guild was a firefighter. ‘My grandfather was also a firefighter.’

It was truly a funny coincidence.

A trivial thought occurred to me ‘Maybe we don’t know each other?’ but I quickly shook off the distracting thoughts and focused on the investigation.

And I was sure of one thing.

“I’m sure. “No matter where I look there is no sign that the electronic anklet has been torn off.”

[yes. There are no traces of a bomb exploding.]

Ber also agreed.

Inside the prison which was stained with blood in the aftermath of the battle scars from all kinds of skills remained.

However no matter where I looked there was no trace of the torn electronic anklet or the explosion of the electronic anklet and that means…

“They say they used some special method to disable the electronic anklet…”

He used magical power without removing the electronic anklet.

When I looked around the scene now that was the only conclusion I could come to.

I don’t know what method they used but it was no longer possible to control villains with electronic anklets.

But there was no need for Suho to worry about this.

This was something the association should have handled on its own and Suho decided to focus only on the investigation.

“Grey anyway remember all the smells here.”

“Choooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much”

Gray sniffed harder at Suho’s words.

It was difficult to remember the faces of 500 villains one by one.

Moreover there is no way the villains can confidently show their faces.

However it was clear that if Gray could remember all the smells in Jisan Prison tracking him would be much easier in the future.

This was the reason why other bounty hunters had been coveting Suho since before.

However it was at this point that Su-ho had just looked around the entire inside of Jisan Prison.

Sigh.

“Hey is the investigation finished?”

A bounty hunter approached Suho smiling.

“If it’s over how about we go together?”

“….”

Suho stopped walking and looked at his face without saying a word.

At the same time Gray glared at him and fiercely bared his teeth.

“Growl!”

“Hehe. What a cute dog. “For a tracking summon it’s quite easy to survive.”

[Little Lord this is a suspicious guy.]

Suho also nodded at Ber’s warning.

[The body has a terrible smell of blood and that of human blood. This is a guy who has killed a lot of people.]

“Oh you know that too? They command strange summons. “I guess it would be useful right?”

Instead of being embarrassed by Ber’s words the man just shrugged his shoulders with a relaxed expression.

Then he took out his wallet from his pocket and opened it to Suho.

[Association Certified Bounty Hunter]

Name: Kang Tae-sik

Grade: B

Then when Suho saw the revealed association certificate Lee Chae came to mind.

“After all this I’m one of the few professional villain hunters? “It’s different from other kids so being with me will definitely be quite helpful.”

Taesik Kang formally introduced himself.

But the introduction was unusual.

“Did you say I smell like human blood? Of course it will. “I killed more people than the demonic beasts.”

“….”

“Oh but if you look at me like that too much no matter how much I get hurt? Could it be that I killed ordinary people with an association official certificate? Of course I only killed the villains.”

Strangely enough Kang Tae-sik was a real bounty hunter who specialized in hunting down villains rather than raiding dungeons.

However when Su-ho’s face still showed caution Kang Tae-sik shrugged his shoulders and showed favor first.

“Then what if it’s like this? I’ll hand over the information I found out first. “Why don’t you listen to it and decide if you want to come with me?”

“Information?”

“okay. “I probably have the most information among the bounty hunters gathered here.”

“Let’s listen first.”

He said he would let me know first but there was absolutely no reason to decline.

As Suho nodded calmly Kang Taesik smiled as if he knew that would happen.

Then after checking his surroundings to see if he did not want his information to be passed on to other competitors he quietly opened his mouth.

“Do you know that Hwang Dong-seok the instigator of this incident is backed by Hwang Dong-soo?”

Suho nodded.

Hwang Dong-soo an S-class villain.

He used to be a shadow soldier named Grid.

“In fact Hwang Dong-seok was immediately defeated by Hwang Dong-soo.”

“…Hand loss?”

“okay. To be exact Hwang Dong-seok cut off Hwang Dong-su.”

Kang Tae-sik spoke in earnest about what he knew.

* * *

Fraud brothers.

Until the cataclysm the brothers Hwang Dong-seok and Hwang Dong-su were nothing more than third-rate criminals who were called by that nickname.

Basically they were greedy for money and as they got older their greedy nature became even stronger.

From the day he was released from prison after serving his full sentence he committed crimes again as if it was natural.

I was living a miserable life going in and out of prison as if it were my home.

However brothers Hwang Dong-seok and Hwang Dong-su were quite satisfied with their lives.

If two people commit the same crime receive the same sentence and end up in the same prison.

Prison life was more worth it than I thought.

After all brothers are on the same side.

But right after the cataclysm.

Their lives changed 180 degrees.

-What is this?

-Brother have you really awakened?

Among the brothers the older brother was the first to awaken.

The moment Hwang Dong-seok felt tremendous power boiling within his body.

He realized.

The fact that there is no longer any need to live a servile life of fraud.

fraud?

Isn’t that what people who can’t fight make money off of?

Immediately after the cataclysm.

It was a time when the world was in chaos.

Hwang Dong-seok immediately became a villain during that period.

He changed from a conman to an armed robber and began robbing convenience stores and restaurants.

-Hahaha! It’s money! money!

I can’t believe that making money was this easy!

All those years of scamming to make a little money felt so insignificant.

and….

-Tsk. Have you not awakened yet? Have you no talent?

My younger brother who had not yet awakened even an ounce of magic began to look very pitiful.

-When I heard from you I heard that there are many cases where you suddenly wake up like this. So if you wait a little longer…

-So how long?

-….

-Tsk. Useless guy.

Despite his older brother’s blatant criticism the non-awakened younger brother could not say anything.

Because it was true.

Magical power is innate.

You can’t suddenly become an awakened person just by trying.

And eventually after some time.

-You go away now.

-brother? What does that mean….

-Fuck off you incompetent bastard!

Hwang Dong-seok threw his younger brother away.

When it came to cheating it was much easier with two people rather than one person but now there was no reason to waste the money and give it to my younger brother.

Hwang Dong-seok who so mercilessly abandoned his younger brother began to travel the country in earnest and commit robberies.

The mobility itself was different from when I was walking around with my slow brother.

Since I did not share the money I earned with my younger brother the money kept piling up no matter how much I spent.

But those good times did not last long.

One day the Hunter Association was suddenly established.

Association President Woo Jin-cheol declared war on villains on a large scale.

And Hwang Dong-seok was arrested very easily by the association hunters who came to catch him.

I tried my best to fight back but I was so helplessly defeated that it was futile.

And Hwang Dong-seok who had been living intoxicated with his own power until then only realized this after being brought into the association.

The fact that he was a frog in a well.

At that time a horsepower meter developed overseas was introduced to Korea and Hwang Dong-seok realized that he was only a C-class awakened person.

And as a matter of course he was sent to the infamous Jisan Prison where villains from all over the country were caught.

Hwang Dong-seok heard some news there.

The fact that his younger brother Hwang Dong-su has become an S-class villain.
