Looking nonchalantly at Jung Hee and Kyung Tae amid the blaring alarm, Min Sung walked toward the two men who had tried to kill him and who were also on the ground, helpless and heavily wounded.

Trembling in terror, Jung Hee looked up at the champion, who proceeded to stomp on the back of the assassin’s head, killing him instantly. At the sight of the young assassin’s head exploding into splatter of blood across the floor, Kyung Tae shook uncontrollably, struggling to accept that his life was coming to such an anticlimactic end. Then…

“Screw y…”

… the burning jar in Min Sung’s hand came down on the supervisor’s head mercilessly, crushing Kyung Tae’s head and reducing it to a bloody mess. At that moment, dozens of Shadow Guild hunters poured out of the emergency door, and an officer came out of the elevator: Ji Hyuk Yoo, the four-star officer.

Min Sung glared at the officer and at the text above his head.

‘Lv779 Ji Hyuk Yoo: Chief of the Special Intelligence Unit.’

As the hunters awaited for the chief’s commands anxiously, Ji Hyuk said, “Kill him,” and the dozens of hunters charged ferociously toward Min Sung at once. Then, the champion swung his burning jar, and with what sounded like a roaring thunder, the hunters fell to the ground, their lifeless bodies in flames. Before long, the flames spread across the lobby. Standing completely still amid the vicious flames, the champion seemed like the devil himself in the flesh. With his face twisting into a scowl, Ji Hyuk glared piercingly at Min Sung.

“Who the hell are you…?”

Instead of giving him an answer, the champion started walking through the fire toward the chief. At which point, the chief unsheathed his treasured weapon, the Bayonet of Life.

—

As the burning jar collided with the Bayonet of Life, the chief groaned from the sheer impact. His entire body vibrated. His arms grew numb by the second, and he felt as though he was being crushed by a giant boulder. The bayonet’s deadly ability of absorbing its victim’s life seemed to offer no help in that situation. Rather, Ji Hyuk felt his stamina leaving him as if he was under a spell. Then, Min Sung brought his burning jar up against the chief, who held his bayonet upright in order to block the blow. With the explosive impact, the bayonet flew out of Ji Hyuk’s hands, spinning in the air before it lodged itself on the floor, leaving the chief completely vulnerable. Without hesitation, the champion, with his eyes glowing black, took another swing at the chief. As the blow landed on Ji Hyuk’s chest, the impact sent the chief flying, throwing him against the wall.

“Cough!”

Upon falling to the ground, the chief coughed up blood ceaselessly, looking deathly pale.

“Cough! Cough!”

Then, with a burning glare in his bloodshot eyes, Ji Hyuk attempted to get back on his feet, only to collapse to his knees as his legs gave out. To his demise, when he looked up, he saw the champion charging toward him. Before long, the champion kicked the chief’s head as he would a soccer ball, and unable to withstand the blow, Ji Hyuk’s head exploded into pieces.

Meanwhile, the guild master of the Shadow Guild was monitoring the situation through the phone in his car. Dumbfounded by what he was seeing, the guild master rubbed his mouth anxiously. He was well aware of the supervisor and the assassin’s involvement, including how their attempt at eliminating their target had ended in failure. Now, their very target was raising hell in the guild’s headquarters, taking down a four-star officer within three blows. The confusion in his mind began to suffocate him.

‘Could this man really be… the miscellaneous type?’

The thought sent chills down his spine. Driven by intelligence, about eighty-percent of the Shadow Guild’s fighting force was scattered across the country, which meant there wasn’t nearly enough fighting force left within the headquarters to stop the intruder. However, something told the guild master that even the entirety of their fighting force wouldn’t be enough.

‘That leaves only one option: the Central Hunters’ Institute. But, will they agree to help if we’re dealing with a miscellaneous type?’

The answer was simple: No.

Whether it was the Central, Eastern, Western, Southern or the Northern Branch, there was one thing that every branch of the Hunters’ Institute had in common: they were all led by individuals who were classified as miscellaneous types, who possessed enough power and worth to represent entire cities. Yet, in a situation where the Shadow Guild was at fault, the guild master was bound to receive ice-cold glares from the other branches for asking for help. There was no way around it but to take personal responsibility for the matter. Then, as he let out a deep, distraught sigh, his phone started to vibrate.

“I’m on my way to the headquarters. Do NOT provoke the intruder…” the guild master said as soon as he answered the phone. However, instead of a verbal response, a peculiar sound came from the receiver.

“Cough!”

Startled by the sound, the guild master straightened his back with widened eyes. Then, a frighteningly ominous voice sounded from the receiver. It said, “I’ll be waiting,” and hung up the phone.

—

With a loud screech, a large, luxurious sedan made an abrupt stop in front of Shadow Guild Headquarters. Unfastening his tie, the guild master rushed into the building only to be met by the same, terrifying scene of the lobby he had been monitoring through his phone previously. Seeing the lobby caught in flames, the guild master’s face twisted into a pained scowl.

—

The flames were just starting to spread to the guild master’s room. At that moment, the silhouette of a man looking out of the window at the city at night came into view.

‘Lv150 Min Sung Kang: The First.’

Just like the intel had said, the intruder really was only level 150. Showing his back to the guild master with a burning jar in his hand, the man looked rather peculiar.

‘He’s only level 150… Yet, he’s taken out the entire Shadow Guild on his own…’ the guild master thought, chuckling. ‘And what the hell is the deal with that jar?’

At that moment, Min Sung turned around, looked at the guild master, and dropped the burning jar in his hand on the floor. It shattered into pieces, spreading ashes of burnt soy sauce all over the place. Looking at broken shards and the contents of the jar, the guild master smiled bitterly, thinking, ‘Did he massacre my guild members with that thing? This makes no sense. How can that be? How is it that we, the biggest intelligence group in this country, knew nothing about this freak? Where did he even come from?’

“I’m the guild master of the Shadow Guild. What is it that you want? Are you here to wipe the Shadow Guild from the face of the Earth, or were you waiting here to kill me?” the guild master asked directly while staring at Min Sung.

“I’m here to warn you,” the intruder said, brushing his blood-soaked hair up.

“Warn us…?” the guild master asked, swallowing nervously.

“If you don’t want further trouble, stay quiet and do not bother me.”

Watching the flames slowly consuming his room, the guild master smiled and replied, “So, what you’re saying is that I should clean up this mess because you don’t feel like getting your hands dirty. Am I right?” the guild master asked, his body quivering ever so slightly as Min Sung stared intently at him.

“Is that all you want?” the guild master asked again.

Then, Min Sung stood next to him and said, “As long as you keep your end of the promise.”

With that, the intruder walked out of the room unhurriedly, and staring in his direction, the guild master closed his eyes tightly, feeling helpless and humiliated.

—

While the remaining guild members were busy putting out the fire with cleansing potions, the guild master received a call from the Central Hunters’ Institute asking for an explanation regarding the commotion. However, the guild master offered no explanation, just as he had promised the champion. Despite the Central Institute’s aggressive inquiry, the guild master of the Shadow Guild remained firm, refusing to disclose any information. At which point, the Central Institute let up and no longer tried to pry an explanation out of him. After making sure that the media wouldn’t be able to cover the incident, the guild master registered it as a highly-classified record and prohibited guild members from ever bringing it up. Just as he had promised Min Sung, the guild master kept his end of the deal thoroughly, and just like that, things quieted down.

Staring up at the charred exterior of the Shadow Guild Headquarters, Ho Sung Lee, the head of the Diamond Clan asked, “What the hell happened here?” Looking shocked, he looked around at the countless hunters and citizens who were also staring in shock. the Shadow Guild Headquarters had always been open to the public, but now, there was a barricade blocking the entrance along with a sign informing that they were temporarily closed. Looking at the building and its surroundings, Ho Sung licked his parched lips nervously. The media hadn’t said a word about the incident. Instead, it had been reported as a mere accident, which meant somebody had done something to prevent them from speaking the truth. The Central Institute was the only candidate capable of ambushing the Shadow Guild in its entirety. However, the Central Institute had no reason to draw attention to themselves by performing a public stunt.

‘The Central Institute is in a symbiotic relationship with the Shadow Guild. It couldn’t have been them. Wait… Could it be… Min Sung Kang?’

The thought gave Ho Sung the goosebumps.

“Haha! That’s absurd! What sense does that make?” Ho Sung said to himself, lighting a cigarette while tapping his foot anxiously. “Impossible. It couldn’t have been him…”
