Chapter 331: Chapter 331
It wasn’t any ordinary Korean sausage.
It wasn’t the cheap type that he had eaten when he was little.
The Korean sausages in front of Min Sung’s eyes were different from ordinary Korean sausages that normally only contained noodles.
“What is this?” Min Sung asked.
“It’s blood sausage,” Jang Woong replied.
Blood sausages.
It was Korean sausages filled with meat, tofu, and eggs.
On the outside, it didn’t look very delicious, but Min Sung felt curious and excited by the fact that they weren’t the normal Korean sausages that contained noodles.
Min Sung moved his chopsticks toward the blood sausages.
As soon as one entered his mouth, Min Sung’s body trembled.
Min Sung was so surprised by the new flavors that his pupils dilated.
It melted in his mouth, and the salty taste of the meat and the savory scent made him happy.
On top of that, the meat inside the Korean sausages felt as though they were scratching against his tongue.
It tasted so amazing that he was in awe.
Min Sung looked at Woong Jang with satisfied eyes.
“I’d better taste your Korean sausage soup next time. This is delicious.”
“Yes, Sir.”
Woong Jang smiled and joined him in the meal.
Min Sung nodded and put another piece of Korean sausage into his mouth in surprise, and he looked happy once again.

Ho Sung Lee opened his eyes.
Ho Sung Lee, who was lying down in the car, slowly got back up and scanned the outside of the windows with swollen eyes.
Since he arrived in the middle of the night, he decided to take a nap not too far from his destination.
A moment later, Ho Sung Lee started his car again and drank a bottle of water before taking off.
There was an area called ‘X-HIT’ nearby.
That area could only be accessed by hunters, and since they welcomed new hunters to join, it was a rough neighborhood.
Ho Sung Lee smoked his cigarette and slowly moved toward the building surrounded by a metal fence.
That must’ve been X-HIT.
“What kind of name is X-HIT? It sounds like a wrestling name.”
While Ho Sung Lee mumbled to himself while smoking, he saw the metal gates open, and two men approached his car with weapons in their hands.
Ho Sung Lee took out his hunter license with the cigarette still in his mouth.
The two hunters with unknown nationalities checked Ho Sung Lee’s hunter license.
The two hunters compared the ID to Ho Sung Lee’s face and then gestured for him to go inside.
Ho Sung Lee winked and entered X-HIT.
Ho Sung Lee saw low-rise houses and children running around as he raced down the road. He then tilted his head at the adults.
The place was crawling with drug addicts and hunters, but the place almost looked like just an average village.
‘Are they the hunters’ families?’
That was probably the case. It was rare for people with no relation to hunters to live in this area.
After all, it wasn’t the safest place.
Even among the hunters in drug organizations, there were different cliques.
That was the organizational habit of human beings.
After racing through the dirt, Ho Sung Lee headed toward the destination that was indicated by the information given to him by the Shadow Guild.
In order to find out what they were like, he had to join their organization. That was the only way to truly find out how they were doing.
As soon as Ho Sung Lee reached the building, he threw his cigarette out the window.
Screech!
After parking his car, he got out of the driver’s seat.
The building was painted white on the outside, and there were some cracks here and there.
This shabby building was his first step to entering the criminal organization.
Ho Sung Lee sighed and began walking.
‘I can’t get caught.’
Ho Sung Lee controlled his mind and entered the building.
The building wasn’t very big, the elevator only went to 5 levels, and the first level didn’t even have a lobby.
When he entered through the entrance, he saw stairs leading to the basement, and there were also stairs going upstairs.
And in the middle of the stairs to the basement was a black man in his 20s playing a game on his phone with earphones in.
As soon as Ho Sung Lee approached the stairs to the basement, the black man looked up at HO Sung Lee.
When Ho Sung Lee stared down at him, the black man took out his earphones.
Ho Sung Lee pressed his language watch so that he could speak with him no matter what language he was speaking.
“I came to join. Where can I go?” Ho Sung Lee asked.
The black man scanned Ho Sung Lee and then signaled him to go downstairs.
The black man put his earphones back in and opened the door for him.
Ho Sung Lee put his hands in his pockets and entered through the door, and that was when he was startled.
That was because the sight was different from what he expected.
He felt like he was looking at a fancy pub.
Red, blue, and orange interior along with gold lighting.
He saw hunters throwing darts, and while there were hunters enjoying drugs on one side, there were hunters enjoying gambling on the other.
Most of them were drinking beer or whiskey.
The image was completely different from Ho Sung Lee’s expectation of a scary-looking place.
While he scanned around with surprised eyes, he sensed someone approaching from behind.
There was a woman with short silver hair, and she had a bright smile on her face.
“Hello, stranger.”
Her husky voice was sexy.
She was wearing a knit tank top, so Ho Sung Lee’s eyes went to her breast before he gulped.
She was a charming foreigner.
“Zenith”
As soon as Ho Sung Lee offered a handshake with his fake name, she slowly took Ho Sung Lee’s hand.
“I’m Anna.”
She then stared at Ho Sung Lee and put a cigarette into her mouth.
“Do you have a lighter?” Anna asked.
Ho Sung Lee took out a lighter, and she leaned closer as if she wanted him to light it for her.
Ho Sung Lee lit her cigarette, and Anna breathed in while continuing to stare at Ho Sung Lee.
Then…
“Follow me.”
Anna breathed out and turned around.
After scanning around him, Ho Sung Lee followed her.
They passed the crowds of people, and Ho Sung Lee arrived in front of a door that was labeled ‘guest.’
After knocking, she entered through the door, and Ho Sung Lee also entered the guest room.
Inside the guest room was a muscular man with no shirt on who was laughing as if he was high on drugs.
What left a strong impression were the tattoos all over his body.
He watched Ho Sung Lee enter the room with lazy eyes and rubbed a white powder off of his nose.
“Welcome to X-HIT, my friend,” the muscular man said.
Ho Sung Lee nodded and then scanned the room.
Inside the room was only the muscular man and Anna, and the room wasn’t very big.
Ho Sung Lee met eyes with Anna with short silver hair, who escorted him to the room.
She drank whiskey and gave him a seductive smile.
“Hunter license,” the tattooed man said with his hand out.
Ho Sung Lee handed him his fabricated ID. He felt nervous while doing so.
He felt as though his life was at risk.
After all, he was the underboss in the human world. If he happened to reveal his identity, problems could arise in fulfilling Min Sung Kang’s command.
Close examinations were bound to reveal some kind of flaw.
For that reason, Ho Sung Lee felt nervous while watching the muscular man inspect his ID, but luckily, he didn’t catch on.
“Sit down, my friend.”
While leaning back on the sofa, he pointed at the seat next to him with his hand holding the ID.
Ho Sung Lee sat down.
The muscular man put down Ho Sung Lee’s ID on the table in front of them.
As soon as Ho Sung Lee reached to grab it.
“Look here.”
The muscular man leaned and glared at Ho Sung Lee.
He didn’t look friendly.
Ho Sung Lee met eyes with the man with the ID in his hand.
The man stared at Ho Sung Lee and grinned.
“You have no fear… or greed.”
Ho Sung Lee continued to look him in the eyes.
He felt nervous inside, but he didn’t let it show.
When he thought about the hardships he endured with Min Sung Kang, this was nothing to be afraid of.
He just felt responsible for carrying out his mission.
Ho Sung Lee had been through a lot in his life.
“Why are you at X-HIT?” The man asked Ho Sung Lee.
“Money, that’s the only reason,” Ho Sung Lee replied.
Some time passed as they looked into each other’s eyes.
Ho Sung Lee felt like it was a long time, but it actually wasn’t long.
The man looked at Ho Sung Lee in the eyes and smirked.
“You have a lot of spunk for someone at a low level. I feel like you could become a great asset to the family.”
The man leaned back on the sofa again and smiled.
The level on top of Ho Sung Lee’s head was fabricated as well.
If he used an item, it wasn’t hard to find out his real level, but no one went through all that trouble for no reason.
“Give it to him.”
While the man put a cigarette in his mouth while staring at Ho Sung Lee, Anna, who escorted him here, brought Ho Sung Lee a necklace.
“This is a token proving that you’re a part of X-HIT now.”
The token was a necklace with a skull pendant with a crack across it.
Before Ho Sung Lee could put it on, the man opened his mouth.
“If you join our organization but then decide to go to another organization and hand them our information…”
The man’s eyes grew cold.
“I’ll chase you down until you die. That’s our rule.”
Ho Sung Lee stared at him and put the necklace around his neck.
The man looked at Ho Sung Lee with satisfaction and smiled.
“When do I start?” Ho Sung Lee asked.
The man put out his cigarette and sniffled his runny nose.
“Get used to X-HIT first by having some fun. That friend will help you out.”
The man pointed at Anna with his chin and then got up from the sofa and entered the washroom.
Ho Sung Lee stared at Anna.
Anna gave him a charming smile, and Ho Sung Lee thought inside his head.
If it was back in his Diamond Clan days, he wouldn’t have survived a week.
X-HIT.
He felt like it was a dangerous place.
