Bad!

Pachanchang-!

Has there been an earthquake?

All the surrounding glass windows and fluorescent lights exploded simultaneously like bombs.

Cugugugugugugugu…!

The place was completely chaotic.

The Hunter Association employees had a hard time even breathing due to the enormous pressure that felt like the building would collapse at any moment.

“…Attack!”

Some of the hunters who barely survived drew their weapons and attacked Suho.

But.

Thump.

“Crunch!”

…!

A huge wolf suddenly appeared blocking their path and roaring fiercely.

“Claralak!”

The appearance of a huge wolf filling the room made the hunters think.

And then I realized

At this level… they must have invaded with great intention!

This is a thoroughly prepared terrorist attack aimed at the association!

They were even more confused by that shocking fact.

No what kind of crazy villain is attacking the Hunter Association?

Even the famous Hwang Dong-su wouldn’t do something crazy like this!

’What on earth are they doing this for?'

’Why?'

’Why on earth?!'

I don’t know.

I really don’t know!

No one could make a rational judgment here and now.

They barely suppressed their rising fear and blindly charged towards the villain in front of them.

…Bang!

“Wow!”

But as soon as they charged they were struck by the front paws of the giant wolf and thrown back.

The association staff completely lost their will to fight at the sight of their colleagues being helplessly thrown against the wall.

’I die.'

They had a hunch.

Absolute death has arrived in front of them.

“Aaaah!”

At that time Branch Manager Min Dae-seok who was floating in front of Su-ho raised all his magical power and desperately resisted the killing force that was weighing down his whole body.

And then he gritted his chattering teeth and glared at Suho.

“You think you’ll be okay even after doing this… Huh?!”

Moment.

When Suho stretched out his hand forward Min Dae-seok’s body flew in front of Suho as if being sucked in.

And when Suho’s hand came closer to breaking the back of his neck Min Dae-seok ended up closing his eyes tightly.

Tduduk.

But what Suho’s hand tore off was not the nape of his neck but the necklace hanging around his neck.

“I will ask.”

Cold voice.

As that devil-like voice penetrated his ears Min Dae-seok shuddered in fear.

…creepy.

Suho’s fierce eyes were clearly engraved on his terrified pupils.

“You answer.”

Suho asked holding up the necklace he was wearing in front of his face.

“Where did you get this stardust necklace?”

Stardust Necklace.

Why is it that an item that is very likely to be related to foreign religions is in the hands of a person who is the branch manager of the association?

All sorts of things were imagining things in Suho’s head right now.

What on earth is the relationship between foreign religions and the association?

And does the president of the association Woo Jin-cheol who was once a colleague of my father know about this?

But then.

In response to Suho’s question Min Dae-seok closed his eyes tightly and shouted.

“…I bought it!”

“Bought it?”

Suho’s head was bent at an angle.

Min Dae-seok was startled by that terrifying sight and hurriedly changed his words.

“I’m sorry! In fact I got it for free!”

“Free?”

“I’m so sorry! Even though I said I would pay the real price the boss just gave it to me…!”

Going one step further Min Dae-seok’s humble eyes turned to his subordinates scattered around him.

“And I’m not the only one who received it! All the other employees…!”

“…!”

That water demon guy!

The so-called boss even pulls in his subordinates!

Due to Min Dae-seok’s sudden revelation the expressions of his subordinates suddenly changed.

And then they hurriedly covered or tore off the stardust necklace they were wearing with their hands.

But Suho’s face when he saw those things was…

The bleak expressionless expression until now was broken a little.

He asked again.

“What kind of boss are you talking about?”

“…Yes?”

Min Dae-seok who felt a strange atmosphere for a moment looked at Su-ho with a servile expression and asked.

“Aren’t I… from the Merchants’ Association?”

“….”

“We received sponsorship for the stardust necklace there…”

“…After.”

Hwadeuljjak.

It was Min Dae-seok who trembled even at Suho’s slightest sigh.

Soon Suho’s hand twitched downward.

Then Min Dae-seok’s body flew through the air again and was forced to sit down on a nearby chair.

“…?”

And.

Drurrruk-

The chair’s wheels rolled by themselves and Min Dae-seok carefully returned to his original seat.

“…?”

When the association employees saw that a puzzled expression appeared on their faces.

Stifling air.

In an atmosphere so tense that they couldn’t even breathe properly all their eyes instinctively followed Suho’s every move.

In the middle of it all Suho slowly walked in front of Branch Manager Min Dae-seok’s desk and flopped down on the chair across from him.

And then looking at Min Dae-seok who was shaking he proudly stated the reason he had come here.

“Are you the branch manager? “I’m here to file a complaint.”

“…Yes?”

That moment.

Like a lie everyone could breathe.

All the deadly force that was weighing down the area has disappeared.

But Min Dae-seok could not help but make a puzzled expression.

“U.S. civil complaint…? Suddenly I wonder what you mean…”

“It seems like my grandfather is missing. “Do you know anything?”

“…?”

Only then did Min Dae-seok’s head which had stopped begin to squeak and turn little by little.

And when I looked back in my memory at the situation before this crazy villain appeared I came to an even crazier conclusion.

“Hey… are you Seong Il-hwan’s grandchild?”

“Yes. “My name is Seong Su-ho the president of the Woojin Guild.”

“So you’re not a villain…?”

“He’s a villain. “I am an association-certified villain hunter.”

“…Yes?”

Suho proudly presented his villain hunter license along with his business card.

“Quuuuuuuu!”

As if it were a lie the giant wolf got smaller and smaller and sat with its butt at Suho’s feet with its nose raised arrogantly.

When Min Dae-seok saw that series of scenes his mind immediately became confused.

Everyone including the employees who were sitting around with dumbfounded expressions.

’No that’s right.'

’To summarize…'

’You’re saying this just to file a complaint?!'

Of course no one was brave enough to say this out loud.

Suho who noticed the attention focused on him apologized with a serious expression.

“I am sorry. “I am quite sensitive to the disappearance of family members.”

“Oh no. no. If a family member goes missing anyone can do that…”

Min Dae-seok’s voice gradually diminished as he hurriedly waved his hands in response to Su-ho’s apology.

The association office became a mess overnight.

All the glass is broken fluorescent lights are rattling from the ceiling and flames are crackling as if a ghost is coming out…

The scene behind Suho’s back was too gruesome to sympathize with him.

’…You’re not a villain after doing something like this?'

As soon as he realized that the opponent was not a villain Min Dae-seok’s heart heated up a little later.

Once the situation was resolved he suddenly felt embarrassed at the fact that he looked ugly in front of his subordinates.

Are you coming? I know very well that you are a hunter with great power.

But isn’t Korea a country under the rule of law?

’How dare a young bastard do something like this just because he has a bit of magical power? What do you know about the association?'

Min Dae-seok clenched his fists and glared at Su-ho.

’You like the boss of the Woojin guild! I will take responsibility and make you a villain!'

If you become the head of an association’s branch you can fully assert that level of authority…!

Then when Suho made eye contact Min Dae-seok’s stubborn expression instantly relaxed.

“…Hmm. “Please compensate for the damaged furniture.”

“Of course I will.”

“Thank you.”

***

In a moment.

When Su-ho’s grandmothers Park Kyeong-hye and Seong Jin-ah entered the association office the messy office had already been cleaned up.

A few fluorescent lights were still broken but underneath them Suho heard about what had happened with his grandmother and aunt.

“Well… let me apologize first. “The reason we rejected Park Kyung-hye’s complaint over the past few days is because we determined that Seong Il-hwan was not missing.”

Min Dae-seok explained to Su-ho as an excuse based on what his subordinates had investigated.

“From what I heard… I know that Seong Soo-ho’s grandfather Seong Il-hwan has a hobby of fishing. He also said that he enjoys fishing alone and that he goes as long as three days and two nights.”

“That’s right.”

Park Kyung-hye nodded obediently.

There were many quiet fishing spots in Yangpyeong where the Namhangang River and the Bukhangang River diverge.

Thanks to this Seong Il-hwan would go out fishing from time to time after coming to Yangpyeong.

“…But this time something felt strange.”

“What was strange about it?”

“It’s the facial expression.”

“…Grandma Park Gyeong-hye such abstract thoughts do not help the investigation at all.”

Anyway dealing with the elderly is so frustrating.

It was Min Dae-seok who sighed.

But when I saw Suho sitting right next to me I had no choice but to control my facial expression.

“So what kind of expression did your husband have on his face?”

“My husband… has made that kind of expression just three times so far.”

“When is that?”

“The first time was when my son ran away from home.”

I flinch.

Suho next to me couldn’t help but stiffen at those words.

“When I was in middle school I suddenly ran away from home leaving behind a note saying I had work to do. “For as long as two years.”

Park Kyung-hye spoke with a bitter expression tracing past memories.

“I was so shocked at that time that my husband stopped me from running to the police station right away.”

Looking back now Park Gyeong-hye couldn’t understand her husband’s attitude which showed no signs of panic even when her son went missing.

At first I was angry and then frustrated.

What parent can stay sane when their son suddenly runs away from home?

But it wasn’t.

Unlike Park Kyung-hye Seong Il-hwan was very calm.

But for Park Kyung-hye to blame her husband for being cold-hearted…

Seong Il-hwan’s expression at the time looked like he was barely holding back the emotions that threatened to spill out at any moment.

In the end Park Kyung-hye went to the police station and reported her missing.

But despite this Seong Il-hwan did not even pretend to look for his son.

“…They even stopped me from going out and posting missing person leaflets. And what he says…”

-Let’s trust our son.

…Park Kyung-hye continued recalling her husband’s expression as he uttered those words.

“In the end our son returned home safely two years later. Then as an adult he disappeared again 5 years ago. And this time the couple is together.”

“….”

“At that time my husband calmed me down with the same expression. Let’s trust our son this time too.”

Park Kyung-hye’s words continued.

“But this time it was that same expression.”

The moment I heard those words.

Suho had no choice but to be sure.

’Ber maybe grandfather…'

[Yes. It seems like your memory came back a long time ago.]
