Solo Leveling: Ragnarok – 199

Episode 199
Around the time when Su-ho hatched Ragna and was fighting with the Dragon Emperor.
American society was in great shock.
-Thomas Andre murdered Christopher Reed?!
-Oh my god!
-The curiosity of those who have been wondering which of the two is stronger has finally been resolved!
-But that doesn’t mean I wanted this to actually happen!
For some reason two S-class hunters representing the United States fought for their lives and as a result one person was brutally murdered. This was not just a case of murder.
The death of the S-class hunter was truly an astronomical loss to the United States.
But the bigger problem was that the person who committed this shocking crime was also an S-class hunter.
-Thomas André must be held accountable and executed!
-Hey buddy. You’ve already lost one S-class hunter but you’re going to kill another? Are you planning to ruin America?
-No you honestly don’t think something like that is possible do you?
-Thomas André is calmly arrested now but if he gets angry at least half of the U.S. population will die.
-But since Thomas admitted his crime didn’t he just get arrested by the Bureau?
-arrest? You don’t really think of that as an arrest do you? Didn’t you see the picture of that crazy tyrant stopping by a hamburger restaurant on his way to arrest?
Americans had a heated war of words over the disposition of Thomas Andre.
But there was one thing they all acknowledged.
Even if Thomas Andre was caught for murder the fact was that if he was touched the United States would never be safe economically or physically.
And one more thing.
There was something that all Americans were most curious about.
-So where is the Hunter Administration imprisoning Thomas Andre now?
-Of course it’s ‘Area-51’ right?
-After all that’s the only place right?
Area-51.
This is a first-class military base managed by the U.S. Department of Defense located in the desert of Nevada USA. It was originally built as a completely secret base for the development and testing of new weapons.

In the meantime the U.S. government consistently left no response to questions about this area but eventually acknowledged the reality of this area with the release of 355 pages of classified CIA documents.
However the reason why this secret base was especially interesting to people was because of the numerous rumors related to this area.
They are secretly imprisoning aliens inside and conducting biological experiments on them.
Area 51 was full of all kinds of sinister and mysterious rumors such as recovering the remains of UFOs and conducting joint research with aliens.
And in fact as the Hunter Era began Area 51 was incorporated under the Hunter Management Bureau and was used in various ways.
Therefore people’s speculation that Area 51 was the only place that could accommodate Thomas Andre had great persuasive power.
but.
What was known and the reality were very different.
“One more drink.”
“yes. Mr. Thomas how much ice would you like to put in?”
Rattling.
The bartender who was setting a large ice cube in a transparent wine glass caught a glimpse of Thomas Andre.
“Hey Adam! Would you like to have a drink too?”
“…Thank you but it seems difficult because it is still work time.”
Adam White the director of the Hunter Management Bureau who had just entered the mansion smiled bitterly as he saw Thomas Andre waving at him in a very drunken manner.
That’s right.
This outrageously luxurious mansion was a ‘prison’ specially prepared by the Hunter Administration for Thomas Andre.
It’s a prison but in reality it’s closer to a resort.
Thomas Andre who was arrested as a criminal was not wearing a prison uniform but was wearing a colorful floral short-sleeved T-shirt and shorts enjoying a leisurely vacation in the swimming pool.
Thomas Andre who clearly knew Adam White’s position smiled and asked him.
“So how are my dispositions going? “After all it’s the death penalty right?”
“…Let’s stop joking and talk about work.”
Adam White sighed and had the assistants who came with him lay out the data they had researched in front of him.
Thomas André seeing the amount of material raised one eye and his eyes lit up.
“Ho? “Was there that many?”
“yes. “It was just as Mr. Thomas said.”
Last day Hunter Bureau Director Adam White heard the real reason why Thomas Andre murdered Christopher Reed and immediately began investigating the foreign religion.
The public’s opinion was leaning towards the fact that Thomas Andre who was known to have a very nasty personality beat Christopher Reed to death in a fit of rage.
You can’t tell how relieved Adam White was after learning that the truth was different.
“…There are a lot more foreign believers active throughout the United States than I thought.”
Foreign religion.
An unidentified pseudo-religion whose origins are unknown.
“After investigating surprisingly their goals and actions were quite moderate compared to other pseudo-religions. “At most it would be missionary work or selling stardust.”
“I guess so. From the beginning the goal must have been to hide quietly. So did you recover the star dust and star fragments?”
“yes. I recovered everything I could see. There was no reason to arrest them so the solution was to buy them all with money. “Surveillance was attached separately.”
“Hehe. “I heard he’s really good at getting things done.”
“….”

Thomas Andre raised his wine glass in the air as if making a toast and drank it down.
The subordinates next to Adam White couldn’t help but cry at that sight.
It was inevitable that he treated Adam White the director of the Hunter Management Bureau as if he were a subordinate.
But what if it’s unpleasant?
Thomas Andre.
That man had the qualifications and power to do so.
Even Adam White himself seemed to have no feelings towards the man who showed such a rude attitude towards him.
Rather at the point when we learned that there was an unidentified organization operating secretly in the United States Thomas’ help was more urgent than ever for peace in the United States.
“But… you really meant it. “The magic restraint sphere doesn’t work.”
“Ah that’s right.”
Thomas Andre shrugged his shoulders calmly at Adam White’s words.
Currently both wrists and ankles of Thomas Andre were filled with magical restraints for the arrest of villains.
Those handcuffs were developed by the Korean Hunter Association and were a great invention that are widely used around the world.
However during the arrest process Thomas Andre obediently wore the restraints but despite this his body was still overflowing with magical energy.
“Didn’t I tell you? I can absorb the magic power of the outer universe. And this magic binding sphere does not work on the magic power of the outer universe. Likewise it won’t work on stardust amplifiers or foreign believers.”
“…Did you say that the person who shared that information was Korean Hunter Seong Su-ho?”
“Hehe. okay. “He’s a guy with a very promising future.”
“If someone sees your expression right now they’ll think you’re the son you’ve been hiding.”
“Oh it’s similar. “He’s the son of my old best friend.”
Adam White shook his head at the sight of Thomas Andre smiling with great pride as he remembered Seong Su-ho.
I was just devastated.
This was the first time I felt so helpless since I became the director of the Hunter Management Bureau that protects the United States.
“I am quite sorry to say this but I am truly uneasy. “What on earth is happening on Earth right now?”
“That’s because it’s a space war.”
“ha….”
Adam White who could not believe or not believe those absurd words just placed his head on his forehead and sighed.
Even after saying that seeing Thomas’s carefree appearance leisurely drinking alcohol made me feel even more sick.
“By the way did you ask for cooperation from the Korean Association?”
“yes. “I heard that the current president of the association is in North Korea so I sent someone there.”
“okay. It must be the president of the association himself. “Our guardian told us never to trust others.”
…It’s Seongsuho again.
“Oh and by any chance are there any advanced magic stones left in the management bureau’s warehouse? If you have any it would be nice if you could send them all to Suho? “I heard a lot of magic stones are needed these days.”
“…It’s expensive.”
“If it’s money I’ll give it to you.”
“The auction price… is not. “I will.”
“Uh huh. Open your face. Is this all for the sake of the Earth? If the Earth is destroyed do you think America will be okay? “If you don’t have a few high-level stones you can try scraping together intermediate-level magic stones.”
“….”
At this point isn’t he just a gangster?
At first it was just a hamburger but once they started listening to it the Hunter Management Bureau employees couldn’t hide their frustration at the sight of the top criminal robbing them of more and more things.
And the more that person appeared so shamelessly I couldn’t help but become more and more curious.
Who exactly is the Korean hunter ‘Seong Su-ho’ whom Thomas Andre of the world so blatantly cherishes?
‘I guess I’ll have to meet him in person. If Thomas Andre were to be deceived by him it would be a big problem.’
It was Adam White who was determined to schedule a visit to Korea sometime soon.
“ah! And to our Suho….”
“….”
Please stop.

Meanwhile after Seong Il-hwan who had gone missing returned home safely.
Park Kyung-hye and Seong Jin-ah who were worried about him barely regained their composure.
Of course even so not all problems were solved.
There was no change in the fact that their precious family members Seong Jin-woo and Cha Hae-in were still missing and this incident made them even more worried than before.
But in fact the solution to this was very simple.
Without hesitation Suho used the key to the shadow dungeon on those two people.
“…!”
“…This memory?!”
Park Kyung-hye and Seong Jin-ah who suddenly had all their memories of their past lives returned were temporarily in a state of great shock but soon accepted the whole truth.
Suho honestly told them all the facts about Sung Jin-woo and Cha Hae-in’s whereabouts.
Of course that didn’t eliminate all my worries but at least it made it so that I didn’t have to worry as vaguely and vaguely as I had before.
[Solord is it really okay for this to happen?]
Ber looked a little concerned as he watched Suho’s actions from the side.
[If you restore people’s memories indiscriminately like this the world could become confused.]
Of course when Seong Jin-woo handed over the key to the shadow dungeon to Su-ho he did not give specific instructions on how to use it.
At least he gave Su-ho some advice that it would be good to restore Jin-ho’s memories which could provide the most practical help but the rest was entirely up to Su-ho’s choice.
Even so if everyone’s memories were returned indiscriminately there would be people who would use those memories to do bad things and more than anything there would be people who would be used by Itarim.
However Suho boldly dismissed Ver’s concerns.
“What if it’s indiscreet?”
[Kiek?]
“But we can’t let our family worry without knowing whether my father is alive or dead right? furthermore….”
Suho looked at Ber with serious eyes.
Those two eyes were burning hotter than ever.
“First of all I don’t like the fact that everyone in the world has forgotten my father. “If possible I want to make people around the world remember my father again but I am holding back.”
[….]
Ber who sensed Suho’s sincerity had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.
As he said people in this world have completely forgotten that Seong Jin-woo saved the earth a long time ago.
Although not everyone will appreciate his noble and noble sacrifice Suho’s hope is that everyone will at least remember it.
Even as he was saying this Suho was thinking about the battle he had with Yongje.
‘I’ve always been curious since I was young. ‘I wonder how the burn marks on my father’s hands came to be.’
The breath of destruction exuded by the Dragon Emperor.
Because Su-ho vaguely realized the greatness of his father who fought a war alone against that horribly dangerous being and won.
“So I…”
That’s why he decided.
“I will continue to make as many people as possible remember my father whenever I have the chance.”
I just realized it.
“No matter how much I think about it it seems like the only ‘gift’ I can prepare before going to see my father.”
[….]
Ber was crying.
That’s right.
gift.
One day when Suho encountered the Apostle of Italim for the first time the words he promised to himself.
From then on Suho’s sincerity had been thinking about what to do for his father…
Hot tears were flowing from the eyes of Ber who had been walking that path with Seong Jin-woo for a long time.
Endlessly.
