Solo Leveling: Ragnarok – 19
by Jessie@AFNCC
Episode 19
The Internet was abuzz for a while.
-Scoop! The hidden reality of the Hyena Guild!
-Werewolves of Mt. Gwanak!
-Survivors who almost became demons!
The survivors of Gwanak Mountain Field whom Suho rescued revealed everything they had experienced to the media and the public was shocked.
-crazy;;; What is that?;;;;
– They captured the same person and gave him to him as food??
-Is this something a person would do??
-Hunters were living as slaves to demonic beasts;;
-Isn’t this a traitor to humanity?
Citizens reacted more loudly than ever to the fact that the same humans were hunting humans and feeding them to demonic beasts.
Along with that criticism poured in on other guilds that were even slightly connected to the Hyena Guild.
-Wasn’t the Reaper Guild a member of the Hyenas?
-That’s right. If I say no now everyone in the industry will know right?
-Where did the huge amount of capital come from when hyenas sucked the blood of low-level hunters at usury in the first place?
-I heard that hyenas were originally neighborhood bullies?
-A large guild behind Backfer provided the money.
-At this point you also need to thoroughly clean up the guild you bought.
bang!
“Do we have to keep watching this nonsense?!”
Lim Tae-gyu the leader of the Reaper Guild slammed his fist hard with an angry face.
The force broke the marble desk in two but no one in the conference room paid any attention to it.
“I’m sorry. “We are responding desperately but as you can see our firepower is too strong…”
“Director of Planning.”
Pop.

The cold voice took the planning director’s breath away.
“Do you think I hired you to make excuses like that? “Are you going to gather in the planning room and ask for comments?”
“…sorry.”
“Whoa.”
Lim Tae-gyu leaned back in his chair and let out a long sigh.
“Let me ask you just one question. How did our image end up like this? “We had a good atmosphere until last year right?”
“….”
In response to Lim Tae-gyu’s question the executives just looked at each other with embarrassed expressions.
It’s not that it’s not but until last year the original guild was on the rise as the number one guild in Korea both in name and reality.
The reason is Lim Tae-gyu the guild leader.
This was because despite his middle age he was one of the few S-class hunters in Korea.
One more person there.
In addition to Lim Tae-gyu there was one more S-class hunter in the Reaper Guild. Until last year.
“Well last year when Vice President Baek Yun-ho became independent…”
“fizzle.”
The head of the planning office urgently covered his subordinate’s mouth.
‘Such a tactless bastard! Who would ask because they don’t know that?’
S-class hunter Baek Yun-ho.
He was the person who established the ‘White Tiger Guild’ by breaking away from the Reaper Guild last year.
The moment he an S-class hunter left the power of the Shinigami Guild was practically cut in half.
But that wasn’t the real problem.
In fact everyone in the room knew the fundamental reason.
I just can’t bring myself to open my mouth.
‘If I say that my head will be blown off.’
After Baek Yun-ho left Lim Tae-gyu got angry and brought in an A-level hunter from outside and put him in the vice president position.
Considering that he had been a close friend of Lim Tae-gyu even before the cataclysm it was a so-called parachute greeting.
Naturally the executives of the Shinigami Guild strongly opposed his decision.
Because an A-class hunter could not take the vacancy of an S-class hunter.
Even the A-level hunter he brought with him Lee Min-seong was a beginner who had never entered a proper dungeon.
However Lim Tae-gyu did not bring Lee Min-seong with all his might in the first place.
Lee Min-seong… he just had a lot of money.
Even before his awakening he was already a businessman with a silver spoon and a lot of money.
He was a movie star who was so popular that he even made a name for himself as an Asian superstar when he was young.
Regardless of dungeons or hunters Lee Min-seong’s life has been that of a rich man who has walked a glamorous path of money ever since he was born.
Lim Tae-gyu’s real purpose?
That was a lot of money.
‘If your power is weakened shouldn’t you buy more expensive weapons and increase your power?’

In fact Lee Min-seong was a sponsor with enormous financial power rather than a vice president.
And the plan was somewhat successful.
After Lee Min-seong became Vice President guild members began to get more and more expensive and flashy equipment.
But ironically…
‘From then on our guild’s image took a turn for the worse.’
The planning director had no choice but to hold back and press down on what he wanted to say.
Just then the conference room door opened and the Vice President Lee Min-seong in question entered.
“Hey! Sorry I’m late! “The traffic was so congested~”
Lee Min-seong laughs and jokes even though he is an hour late for the meeting.
As he was famous as a handsome actor when he was young his face was filled with a sad smile.
Lim Tae-gyu’s cool eyes glared at Lee Min-seong.
“Vice President Lee Min-seong.”
“Oh what is this? You were the boss who broke the table right? Anyway do you have good strength?”
“Vice President Lee Min-seong.”
“Hey Secretary Kim! “Replace this table with a better one later today okay?”
“hey! Lee Min-seong!”
Pop.
In the end Tae-gyu Lim couldn’t control his anger and started yelling and the smile on Lee Min-seong’s face who had been smiling up until then disappeared.
“hey?”
Lee Min-seong’s head turned crookedly and he looked at Lim Tae-gyu with cold eyes.
“I think that title is a bit rude don’t you think?”
Lim Tae-gyu ignored those words and glared at Lee Min-seong and asked.
“Why were you late for Vice President Lee Min-seong’s meeting?”
“I told you. “The car was blocked.”
“Aren’t you late because you’re cleaning up after the hyenas?”
“….”
At those words Lee Min-seong’s eyebrows flinched for a moment.
But soon he smiled and joked.
“What does this mean again? What is a hyena? “Is that something you can see at the zoo?”
“Don’t change your mind Lee Min-seong.”
Pop.
At those words the mask was removed from Lee Min-seong’s face.
“Your tone from earlier was very rude.”
Even in the face of the anger of S-class hunter Lim Tae-gyu Lee Min-seong’s face showed a clear sneer.
“When did our Taegyu grow up this much? “Are you the guy who used to be my driver?”
“….”
Puzzle.
At those words life suddenly burst out of Lim Tae-gyu’s eyes.
But Lee Min-seong didn’t care and instead approached him.
Then she gently opened his collar and looked him up and down with a longing gaze.
“Really. Do you really not know what people do? How did you happen to be so lucky that you awakened to S-class and then you became this arrogant in just two years? “And in front of the old master?”
“Lee Min-seong….”
“Achacha. Come to think of it it’s not the old owner is it? Tae-gyu don’t you still have two years left on my driver’s contract?”
“Lee Min-seong… don’t test my patience.”
“why? Kill me? Ugh be scared. My dog is trying to bite its owner. “I gave money to a guild that was in decline but they didn’t even know the favor.”
If you could kill with a look everyone in the conference room might already be dead.
‘Please go out and fight….’
The executives and employees could not even breathe properly due to the nervous battle between the two people who had a complicated relationship.
But fortunately Lim Tae-gyu was not so hot-tempered that his reason was paralyzed by anger.
“…Whew. “Stop it.”
“What were you trying to do?”
“Vice President Lee Min-seong I already know that you had some kind of commission with the Hyena Guild. “Sooner or later the association will also bet on that.”
“…the association?”
At those words Lee Min-seong’s expression which had been frowning the whole time hardened.
Lim Tae-gyu sighed deeply.
“okay. So tell me now what on earth you were doing behind my back. “I need to know something so I can at least clean things up at the guild level.”
“Hmm. “It’s a cleanup.”
Lee Min-seong rubbed his chin and was lost in thought.
But I didn’t want to be specific.
‘That doesn’t work either.’
In the end Lee Min-seong smiled and shrugged his shoulders.
“Well there was nothing special. “Just doing some light errands and playing with money?”
“Is that really all there is?”
“That’s right. “Even if the association has issues I can resolve it on my own so don’t worry about it.”
“I hope that is true.”
“Or what else are you going to do? “The Hunter Act is so weak that there won’t be a problem if I mobilize my lawyers right?”
“It’s the law….”
The Hunter Act is definitely poor.
It was Lim Tae-gyu who was pondering those words.
It was natural.
It’s only been two years since the cataclysm occurred.
The association was still working hard to pass hunter-related legislation but there were still many loopholes.
So people like hyenas were still able to run wild.
“Then it’s over right? “If you don’t have anything more to say I’m leaving?”
Swish.
Lee Min-seong turns around and leaves the conference room without listening to the answer.
Behind him Lim Tae-gyu gave the final warning.
“Vice President Lee Min-seong: Still it would be better not to be too overconfident. “Even if the law is weak the president of the association is by no means an easy person.”
bang.
The conference room door closed roughly.
Lim Tae-gyu shook his head and sat back down in his chair.
Only then were the executives and employees able to exhale the breath they had been holding.
However Lee Min-seong actually came out with a leisurely gait…
His expression was distorted like that of a demon.
‘How dare you a bastard who doesn’t even know the topic!’
He didn’t show it but in fact his whole body was drenched in cold sweat from the murderous spirit that Tae-gyu Lim unleashed.
But my pride was hurt more than fear.
‘I came in to ask you to become vice president for some reason and you treated me like a servant? Lim Tae-gyu what are you saying?’
But he had no right to express this anger now.
Anyway he was an S-rank hunter and he was only an A-level hunter.
So this anger that seemed to explode had no choice but to be directed at the culprit that caused this situation.
Hyena Guild?
no.
‘The guy who destroyed the Hyena Guild!’
Lee Min-seong called somewhere with a scary expression.
“Yes it is me. “Did you find out his identity?”
-That’s it Mr. Vice President. I’ve questioned all the survivors…
An uncertain voice came from the other end of the phone.
-None of the survivors know his true identity.
“what? You don’t know? “Why don’t you know?”
-The hunter was covering his face with a mask and hood the entire time. What is notable is that he used dual swords and it is said that he ended up using a sword that had been used by werewolves.
Puzzle.
“…Learn more. “Find out who that bastard is and bring him to me.”
-Yes I understand….
bang!
Lee Min-seong eventually couldn’t hold back his anger and threw his cell phone on the floor.

Meanwhile at that time.
Suho was having a peaceful time in the shadow dungeon.
Of course Suho is the only one who is at peace.
Gray the wolf cub of the Fang Clan was dying.
“Growl!”
[Oh it’s great. Finally our Kkureungi hunted a goblin by himself. Of course the opponent is also a baby goblin.]
“Kuaooo-!”
In response to Ver’s praise the palm-sized wolf cub howled sadly or even fiercely.
The sight of him stepping on the corpse of a baby goblin with his front paws seemed truly pitiful and brave.
[Now eat! A true hunter eats all his prey without leaving anything behind!]
“Growl!”
[Uh huh! Open your mouth wide and chew!]
“Kuaang!”
Wow!
Gray looked exhausted but he could not disobey the harsh words of instructor Ber.
However as he was told he opened his mouth wide and bit into the goblin he had hunted…
Tiring!
[‘Pet: Gray’ level has increased!]
A message arrived in front of Suho.
“Oh this is a level up?”
-Didn’t I tell you? They say you grow when you eat sleep and play.
“I know. “I thought I was the only one leveling up but I can also become a pet?”
But then another message arrived.
[‘Pet: Gray’ sacrifices 50% of its experience to its owner.]
“Huh?”
[Kkiek?]
Suho and Ber looked at each other in confusion at the message.
Then at the same time I turned my gaze and looked at Gray lying flat on the floor.
“Kwiuung….”
[So Solord. Why do you take a flea’s liver and eat it?]
“No I…”
A sudden feeling of guilt came over me.
