“What if I have information that only the head of X-HIT should hear?”

What Ho Sung Lee said was impactful, and as a result, Anna’s face turned stiff.

Her eyes and expression were cold, which Ho Sung Lee had never seen before.

“Hey, no need to look so scary. I’m not saying we should fight. I just want to show what I’ve got to offer.”

Ho Sung Lee spoke to Anna with stable eyes.

Anna stared at Ho Sung Lee before turning her shoulders.

“Wait here.”

She went into a crowd of people and disappeared somewhere.

Meanwhile, Ho Sung Lee asked the bartender for a beer.

The bartender opened a bottle of beer for him, and Ho Sung Lee drank it while catching his breath.

That was when he sensed someone.

When he turned around, the crowd made way for someone, and that was when a group appeared between them.

They were all holding weapons.

Ho Sung Lee continued to drink his beer and put a cigarette in his mouth while staring at their hostility.

“Am I the target?”

Ho Sung Lee lit his cigarette, and Anna appeared from among them.

Ho Sung Lee scoffed and drank his beer while staring at her.

“If you were just acting, we’ll kill you. But if you really do have valuable information, we won’t. So tell us now,” said Anna with cold eyes.

Ho Sung Lee gulped down his beer and slammed it down on the bar. He then let out a long sigh.

While Ho Sung Lee sighed with his head down, he heard the clanging sound of weapons.

When he heard that, Ho Sung Lee decided that he had no other choice.

What was done was done.

Given the current circumstances, it was going to be difficult to take things slowly.

In order to bring down the head as quickly as possible, he had to face it head-on.

But if he suddenly slowed down now, the head could feel suspicious and hide. In that case, he could miss the opportunity entirely.

‘What should I do?’

While he wondered, he heard footsteps.

When he lifted his head, Anna as well as the hunters holding weapons were surrounding him.

It seemed as though they were ready to use their weapons at any moment.

“We can’t give you very much time. Don’t try anything funny and tell us right now.”

“Bring me to your head. If not, something dangerous will happen to him. This is top information.”

Ho Sung Lee smoked his cigarette while looking at Anna.

Anna looked at Ho Sung Lee with pity and shook her head.

“Don’t kill him.”

In response to her hand gesture, the hunters began to use their fists.

At that moment…

As a result of the Aura that radiated from Ho Sung Lee’s body, the hunters bounced off and landed on their butts as soon as they threw a punch.

Ho Sung Lee put out his cigarette on the bar table and brushed himself off.

“Let me repeat myself. This is top information. I suggest you report to him right now,” said Ho Sung Lee to Anna.

Anna looked at her colleagues with a stiff face and looked back at Ho Sung Lee.

“Your level was fabricated.”

Anna caught on right away.

The same went for the hunters on the ground.

At that moment…

“What’s going on here?”

The muscular man from within the guest room appeared with a grimace on his face.

Anna whispered to him, and in response, the man scoffed and glared at Ho Sung Lee.

Ho Sung Lee looked at the man and pointed at the hunters who were wobbling back to their feet.

“Isn’t it obvious?”

Once the man caught onto what happened, his face stiffened due to the confusion.

“Call the head. I have information that he needs to know.”

“Who are you?” The muscular man asked Ho Sung Lee with this guard up.

“I told you. I came to make money,” said Ho Sung Lee calmly.

***

In order to escort Min Sung to the meeting herself, Commander Ji Yoo Kim of Central Institute was waiting in front of his house with a driver.

Min Sung came out of his house, and the driver opened the door for him.

As soon as he got into the car, he saw Commander Kim in a suit.

“Why are you staring at me like that?”

In response, Ji Yoo Kim smiled.

“Just because.”

“Well, stop it,” said Min Sung while looking out the window.

“Min Sung.”

Min Sung looked back at her with knitted brows.

“You know how impactful today’s meeting will be, right?”

Min Sung smiled bitterly.

“I don’t know. Is it that serious?”

“I trust you,” said Ji Yoo Kim with a smile. Min Sung glanced at her and looked back at the window.

It was a winter day without a single cloud in sight.

***

The black head of X-HIT, Leight, was on the sofa in a large white house talking on the phone.

It was clear from Leight’s face that he was very uncomfortable while speaking on the phone.

“Who the hell is he?” Leight asked with frustration.

We don’t know who he is. His level is low, but his Aura is powerful. Should we take care of him here?

Leight thought for a moment and clicked his tongue.

“No, bring him here. Put Team A on him.”

He then hung up the phone.

“He brought important information and came here to make money…?”

Leight smiled.

“But he fabricated his level?”

Leight stared into the distance and smoked his cigar.

***

Anna took the steering wheel.

Ho Sung Lee sat in the passenger seat, and behind their car were cars that were ridden by the members of X-HIT.

They were there just in case something happened. During their carried, Anna glanced over at Min Sung and tilted her head out of confusion.

“Who are you?”

In response, Ho Sung Lee smirked.

“How many times do I have to tell you? I came here to make money.”

“Fabricating your level is no easy task and very expensive. What’s your actual level? Actually…”

Anna smiled bitterly and continued, “Maybe it’s more likely that you have no level at all.”

She was referring to the Miscellaneous type, and Ho Sung Lee didn’t refute her guess.

“I don’t know why you came to X-HIT, but I suggest you don’t cause any trouble. It’s for the good of you as well as our future.”

“How come?” Ho Sung Lee asked Anna.

“Just know that X-HIT is more powerful than you may think.”

Ho Sung Lee laughed.

“I’ll remember that.”

“The government won’t protect the hunters. They’ll try to bring them down. And in order to prevent that, there needs to be a force. An organization that’s outside of the hunter association. And that organization will protect the hunters.”

“But fights between hunters will only reduce the number of hunters, and I feel like the government would like the fact that there will be fewer hunters.”

“In order to protect one thing, we must sacrifice another.”

“Really?”

“Yes.”

He didn’t agree very strongly, but there was no need to seem too negative about the drug hunter organization before meeting with the head.

After 30 minutes, they arrived in front of a house.

The metal gates opened, and they entered the large yard.

The cars behind them also followed like Vienna sausages.

The yard of the house was vast, but since this wasn’t his first experience, Ho Sung Lee wasn’t even that surprised.

He simply wanted to meet the head of X-HIT.

The car stopped, and Anna got out first. Ho Sung Lee got out as well and looked behind him.

He saw hunters with unknown levels as well as high levels coming out of the other cars.

‘They’re pretty strong’

Miscellaneous types were rare in Korea, but they seemed to be common in X-HIT.

Ho Sung Lee didn’t have any detailed data about just how much force the higher-level hunters had as of yet.

‘Ugh, I don’t know. I’m sure I’ll be fine.’

What was done was done.

It was too late to ask questions, and if a fight broke out, he had to fight.

Since he probably wouldn’t follow willingly, fighting was probably inevitable.

‘It’ll take a while to bring him without killing him.’

While Ho Sung Lee smoked a cigarette outside the car, Anna approached.

“We need to check your item window. You have to leave everything here.”

Ho Sung Lee opened his item window.

Anna possessed an expensive item that allowed her to check hunters’ item windows.

She told him to take out all of his weapons.

“You’d better not take them. They’re precious.”

Anna accepted Ho Sung Lee’s items without a response.

Since the sword was almost impossible to find, Anna was surprised when she saw the weapon that Ho Sung Lee had.

“This is all that I have. Are we good now? Can I go inside?” Ho Sung Lee asked.

After putting Ho Sung Lee’s weapon away…

“Follow me.”

… She led the way.

Ho Sung Lee took off hi slight jacket and threw it into his item window. Unlike the cold winter, Brazil was quite hot.

They entered through the doors to the luxurious house.

He saw the luxurious floors.

“Woof! Woof! Woof! Grrr!”

And when he saw a hound on a leash, Ho Sung Lee flinched.

The hound looked like a dog, but it was actually a monster.

‘What kind of hobby is raising monsters?’

‘That’s horrible.’

Ho Sung Lee knitted his brows and continued to follow Anna inside.

Behind Ho Sung Lee was the X-HIT hunters of Team A.

Since the house was large, they walked the long corridors for a while before they reached the living room.

He saw a black man who was drinking cognac while looking out the window.

A luxury t-shirt, a gold necklace, a gold bracelet, and lots of gold rings could be seen, and he was wearing a gold robe.

His style was vibrant.

The way Ho Sung Lee saw it, that was the head of X-HIT.
