The Hunter of the Other World Who Is Being Misunderstood-Chapter 57:

In the end, I look like a patient in your eyes

Haseong washed his face dry. After that, he turned away without saying a word. He didnt want to admit that Kiryeos words had shaken him.

Excuse me.

Ah, Hunter Jung Haseong

Haseong nodded politely to the nearby association staff and left.

There was no greeting towards the F-Class. His thoughts were too complicated at the moment, so he planned to contact them again after calming his emotions to some extent. But did he really have the ability to understand someone elses feelings?

I guess he doesnt even want to see my face.

Kiryeo thought that Jung Haseong was just angry and left.

Anyway, since I wasnt hit, the operation is a success, right?

Long live Ahn Yoonseung!

Anyway, the bluff really worked. Isnt this a remarkable discovery? The magicians of Earth are truly skilled at bluffing. Anyway, they couldnt even properly assess the enemys capabilities, which caused misunderstanding.

Jung Haseong seems to have a habit of not recklessly engaging with those who seem to be stronger than himself.

Kkkk.

Kim Kiryeo made a promise. To prevent that S-Class hunter from making a fool of himself, lets keep him firmly in check in the future.

Whats the big deal about pretending to be strong?

Since he has already lived as a truly powerful person called the great magician, all he has to do is imitate his past actions.

Well, Ill get my strength back soon anyway, so Im not really lying!

At that moment, the figure of a woman caught Kiryeos eye. In the distance, Seonwoo Yeon was silent with a serious face.

Seonwoo Yeon-ssi?

As Kiryeo approached, Seonwoo Yeon backed away slightly and spoke quietly.

If you want to silence me, you dont have to. I wont speak of what I saw today anywhere.

Yes?

I promise.

Certainly, it wouldnt be good if there was a rumor of being marked by an S-class person. Kiryeo was touched by Seonwoo Yeons consideration.

Yeah, thank you.

Of course, he wont bother explaining how this appearance reflects on Seonwoo Yeon.

After the argument ended.

12:10 PM. Restaurant near the association.

I cant eat.

Seonwoo Yeon was currently experiencing a taste of death. Just when it seemed like she had barely overcome the fierce conflict between the top-ranked and the impostor, the next crisis came knocking right away.

The side dishes here are delicious.

Following that, someone suddenly takes a seat beside her. With eyes lacking double eyelids and small pupils, hes the faker of that rank.

Is that seaweed soup?

Yes

Is there beef in it?

Anyway, how on earth did this happen! He never imagined this man would be as skilled as Jung Haseong!

M, maybe.

Its uncomfortable.

However, the current companionship was inevitable. Kim Kiryeo had been asking for some information earlier, and the fastest way to explain it was to use a lunch break.

Ahem. Anyway, youre curious about what happened to that attempted murderer we encountered in the park, right?

Yes!

Seonwoo Yeon barely brought up the main topic. Afterward, her one-sided explanation continued.

As I said this morning, the police will probably contact you soon. To cut to the chase, the arrest will be difficult.

Hmm.

Identification wasnt properly done, and as a temporary measure, we tried to trace the rare item the Awakener had, but

There must have been too many people with the same item.

Yes, well. Actually, this method has a lot of unstable elements, so

Clatter.

Kim Kiryeo quietly fiddles with the tableware.

The police ultimately failed to identify the suspects address.

Aha.

Im sorry.

You dont need to apologize.

Seonwoo Yeon fell silent for a moment before speaking up again.

But there is also good news.

Upon hearing this, Kiryeo lifted his head from eating the soup. Good news?

Werent you trapped in the Gate with Hunter Jung Haseong not long ago?

I know.

At least the mastermind behind that incident has been uncovered. We recently caught the tail of a terrorist.

Seonwoo Yeon said that and stopped talking. Then she took out her phone and diligently wrote something.

Why all of a sudden

Are you stopping talking? Just as he was about to ask that.

Ddiring.

Kim Kiryeos phone rings. In the text message she sent, there was this one word written.

[Have you heard of Rakshasa Temple?]

Rakshasa Temple.

Kiryeo quietly looked at the word.

***

A few days ago now.

To be exact, it was a point in the past when there were about 48 hours left until the large-scale terrorist attacks and pseudo-suicide terrorist attacks in August.

Pyo Nagils hideout.

These damn b*stards!

Hyung-nim, whats going on?

The young leader of the criminal organization strides confidently into the warehouse. He had just returned from executing an assassination mission on an S-Class Hunter.

Anyway, what happened to Jung Haseong

Do you think I dont know? He came back without a scratch, do you really think I would have stuck with that?

Pyo Nagil looked displeased.

The plan went awry because there was a mysterious F-Class person next to Jung Haseong. This is certainly annoying, but thats not whats causing his current anger.

Hey, call this b*stard Su Yehwi right now.

Yes?

Bring that pseudo b*stard! The assassination was successful, got it?

As soon as Pyo Nagil returned to his hideout, he looked for a person. Someone who had financial ties with him. A believer at a Rakshasa temple.

I knew the funny alias Su Yehwi was using from the start. He wasnt a trustworthy b*stard!

Pyo Nagil recalled the situation that had occurred a moment ago.

Use it when he meets an S-Class person inside the gate.

It will lead to a favorable situation for him.

They handed him the [Collapse Particle] item while saying this. The [Collapse Particle] is a rare item that doesnt come up for sale often, so he readily accepted it.

They were planning to trap both the S-Class and me inside the gate!

After verifying the effect of the item, Pyo Nagil felt as if he had been stabbed in the back.There is no hunter anywhere who wants to be isolated in another world where the passage has disappeared due to artificial manipulation.

Hyung-nim, I contacted him. Hell be here soon.

Yeah.

Pyo Nagil sharpened his knife.

He couldnt let this slide. He has to pay back everything to those crazy cults who almost ruined him. Especially that carrier, Su Yehwi, he planned to make him suffer terrible pain before he died.

Anyway, if I change my face and name, itll be over.

He can just leave the base roughly after beating up the believer.

Its always been that good until now. Just because things didnt go smoothly for a moment when trying to kill that S-Class Hunter. He was at the very top of the human battle.

Just come.

Pyo Nagil set traps throughout the hideout and quietly lay in wait. And after a while, there was a knock on the door.

-Thumph, thump, thump.

I guess youre here.

Open it.

After waiting for a while, someone peeked out from behind the heavy iron gate.

Juntae-nim! I got your message! Did you succeed in the assassination?

With a pretty face and a slender frame, draped in a translucent white coat over his clothes, the courteous believer bowed his head as he stepped inside. It was that moment.

Ack!

Someone screamed loudly.

It was the sound of a person named Su Yehwi. In the blink of an eye, Pyo Nagil, who had approached, cut off his ankle.

W, w, why all of a sudden!

From now on, just answer the questions asked.

Hiik.

From now on, only answer the questions I ask.

What the hell was your intention in passing on that damn destructive item?

Destructive item? Oh, ugh, you mean the red bead?

Dont answer a question with a question!

He placed his hand on the fallen head of Su Yehwi. Pyo Nagils awakening skill was activated once again.

Slash.

Aaack!

As blood flowed from the cut shoulder, the believer at the Rakshasa Temple trembled and spoke.

What do you mean by intention? No, I just followed the will of our leader!

The item that destroys the Gate entrance? If I had known earlier, I would never have used such a thing!

S, still, didnt it help?

What?

Hiik! N, no, thats. Anyway, the point is, you couldnt have missed the target, right? Isnt that why the assassination was successful?

If they trap them at the gate, most hunters wont be able to escape. In a way, it could be a useful item for assassination.

In other words, it means I wont be able to escape either. Especially if its just me and an S-Class inside the gate!

Pyo Nagil lowered his cold gaze.

Juntae-nim

Dont worry, though. At least your leader will be happy.

Yes?

We completed the mission, didnt we? Taking advantage of Jung Haseong entering the gate, I destroyed the passage from the outside.

Then the believer suddenly stopped trembling and raised his head.

You didnt kill him directly?

What?

Did you just destroy the gate and come back?

What does that mean?

Why? You mean were not permanently trapped; theres a way out?

Yes, yes. Killing the boss creates an exit. It was a premise that could not be prevented in any way.

The pseudo wearing a white coat looked confused. But Pyo Na-gil didnt seem to care much.

Is that so? Well, then its a shame, but well have to give up on the S-Class assassination mission.

Yes? B, but you clearly said that you would take care of it. We paid you so much money for this!

Did you think I wanted this? Who would have known that the F-Class would be by Jung Haseongs side?

Tuk, tuk.

The leader of the criminal organization places his hand on his contacts head again.

This is all your fault for urging and whining. You pseudo b*stards!

Then the contact looked up at him and said,

Were not pseudo

.

I believe in the real God unlike those fake religions! Do you really think Dungeon Shock happened naturally? Its all the Raksha testing sinners like us

Even in moments like this, theyre spouting nonsense. Are they fearless in their religious fervor?

Anyway, this is really disappointing. The assassination failed again.

Haa.

Even if we trap them in the gate, if its an S-Class, theyll figure out a way to kill the boss and come out on their own. Failure is certain. We gave you our last chance.

The Rakshasa Temple believer scolded him in a cold voice. Pyo Nagil snorted at this.

So what? Dont you know whose hands your life is in now?

The hand gripping the contact gradually tightened. With the power of an A-rank top-tier awakener, shattering a skull with sheer force is possible.

As expected, its not wise to use those without faith recklessly.

However, at that moment, something about the attitude of the believer seemed strange.

You dont understand why you have to do it, so you dont feel desperate, and you dont feel responsible.

What?

The plan to expand the cult with money I should withdraw it now.

Excessively confident.

Pyo Nagil was strangely annoyed by the other persons words, and tried to cut off the believer with his fingertips.

However,

Have you finally realized something strange now?

The cutting skill was never activated. Pyo Nagil was just frozen in his spot, silently listening to what the believer said.

If it were your usual character, you would have cut my throat as soon as you saw me. Its faster and safer that way.

Pyo Nagil was still silent.

But why did you suddenly cut my ankle? Why didnt you kill me easily and instead think of torturing me slowly?

His body didnt move as he intended.

You will understand now. Theres an unconscious knowledge that killing Su Yehwi is absolutely forbidden.

The figure in the white coat rose from their seat with ease. Even though he was limping because of his cut ankle, a relaxed expression remained on his lips.

I was looking at you because you seemed like a useful person, but its a shame.

Ugh, ugh!

I am an agent connected to Raksha. I dont intend to injure this precious body and live shamelessly.

Pyo Nagil took out a poisoned dagger from his pocket.

Shivering.

The unique item that had taken countless lives. His blade gradually aimed at his own throat.

Pay the price of failure.

Keugh, ugh!

You are all sinners.

This is a brainwashing skill!

Finally, he realized Su Yehwis identity, but it was too late.

Slash.

Then, eerie sounds began to echo throughout the warehouse.

The leaders of the criminal organization led by Pyo Nagil committed suicide.

Haa.

Su Yehwi calmly looked down at the blood splattered on his coat. As the founder of a Rakshasa temple, it was not a sight he had seen once or twice.

I guess I should take care of existing followers rather than running an octopus-leg style operationis that some kind of divine message?

Tak, tak, tak.

Su Yehwi walked around the quiet warehouse alone. I looked through the stacked boxes and even opened the drawer in the corner.

Why arent things going well?

Then he discovered these documents in the third compartment of the steel filing cabinet.

[Hunter Profile]

[Kim Kiryeo]

Yeah, really

Someones image is visible beyond the blurry black and white photo. Su Yehwi narrowed his eyes.

Things are going suspiciously wrong.
