Ethan looked at Ho Sung Lee and grimaced.

“What are you talking about? Mission accomplished?

Ho Sung Lee lifted his head and looked up at Ethan.

“I’m saying you’re fucked now.”

“What?”

Ethan looked blank for a moment before he burst out into laughter.

“You do a good job at bluffing right before you die…”

Ethan sensed something chilly in the middle of his sentence.

He felt as though a ghost went through him.

“…”

Ethan stopped talking and looked behind him.

He didn’t see anything around the entrance of the deserted factory.

But it felt as though a tension he couldn’t see with his eyes was strangling his neck.

Ethan scanned around him with big nervous eyes.

“What’s wrong?”

One hunter asked, and the other hunters looked at Ethan with confused eyes.

“Something feels weird.”

Ethan looked very anxious.

The other hunters looked at Ethan as if they couldn’t understand, but that same feeling took over the others one by one as well.

The mysterious cold feeling gave them the sense that they ran into the Grim Reaper.

The hunters were frozen in place due to the strange sensation and simply glanced around.

As soon as they moved, they felt like their bodies were ripping apart.

It was a sensation that was hard to explain, and the cause of that sensation was soon revealed.

Step, step.

The sound of footsteps rang.

The hunter leaders including Ethan turned around.

A person who shouldn’t appear appeared through the entrance.

It was Min Sung Kang.

The hunters’ faces looked shocked as if they really did see the Grim Reaper.

Min Sung walked over with his hands inside his pockets.

He then passed the hunter leaders and looked down at Ho Sung Lee with pity.

“You still get beat up?” Min Sung asked as if it was absurd.

“I simply sacrificed my body for the mission.”

Min Sung smirked at Ho Sung Lee’s shameless remark. He then put the video file that was in his hands into his item window and looked back at the hunter leaders.

“W-what are you doing here?”

Ethan stuttered as he stared at Min Sung with widened eyes.

“What am I doing here? He told me he might have caught his chance to find out and film what the hunter leaders really thought,” explained Min Sung as he pointed at Ho Sung Lee.

Ethan gulped and rolled his eyes.

He was calculating what to do in this situation, and the same went for the other hunter leaders as well.

“There’s no need to think.”

Min Sung kicked Ethan on the leg.

Ethan turned once in the air and plopped down onto the ground head first.

Min Sung stomped onto Ethan’s neck with his hands still in his pocket.

“Ugh!”

Ethan couldn’t think to resist.

All he could do was endure Min Sung’s foot on his neck.

“U-ugh!”

Min Sung listened to Ethan’s groans as he looked up and smiled at the other hunter leaders.

“What should I do with you? Tell me if you have any ideas. Who knows? Maybe I’ll let you live.”

The hunter leaders were dripping in sweat.

Meanwhile, Min Sung watched the hunter leaders’ faces with a light smile on his face

But the hunter leaders felt like dying with Min Sung’s gaze on them.

No, they had a feeling that death was near.

Although Min Sung was smiling lightly, not a single hunter leader thought he was smiling out of kindness.

Ethan’s neck was still underneath Min Sung’s feet.

They had to make a decision.

They had to either attack him with their magic square or just surrender.

And in the end, they went with the latter.

They didn’t know about Ho Sung Lee, but when it came to Min Sung Kang, they didn’t even need to calculate.

“… Let us live.”

That’s all they could say.

They knew that using any kind of excuse would only buy them some extra time until death in the best-case scenario.

Min Sung removed his foot from Ethan’s neck.

“Get up,” said Min Sung.

Ethan coughed as he wobbled back up and stood up with his shoulders hunched over.

“Do you think I can kill you or not?” Min sung asked.

“I have no intention to mess with you. I was just trying to deal with Ho Sung Lee…”

“Just answer my question.”

Min Sung gave off the desire to kill.

“U-ugh!”

Ethan’s bones and flesh began to rip apart.

Just as both of his knees broke, Ethan plopped down on his knees while the bones of his arms and legs protruded out of his flesh.

Min Sung simply stared at the sight.

Despite not having done anything, Ethan was transforming into a treacherous state.

And then his destroyed body began to recover again.

It was as if a video was being rewound.

“Cough! Huff! Huff! Huff!”

Ethan coughed up blood and trembled.

“Get up.”

Ethan jolted his eyes wide open. He breathed heavily and got up without getting back to his senses.

While seeing this happen, the other hunter leaders were frozen still.

The horrific method of communication that was hard to believe with their own eyes caused the hunter leaders to tremble.

“Okay, let’s try this again. Do you think I can kill you or not?” Min Sung asked Ethan.

“You can. I’m nothing compared to you. Everything will go your way…”

“Then why did you do this? You’re treating me like a pushover. You didn’t think I knew you’d kill Ho Sung Lee and use me as a puppet to gain power?”

“I apologize!”

Ethan answered while saluting.

“Tell me why I should let you live.”

Many thoughts flashed in front of Ethan’s eyes.

“We’ll give you 10% of America’s taxes as well as 30% of our hunters’ income.”

Min Sung knitted his brows.

“Can you keep that promise?”

“Yes, Sir. Of course.”

The temptation of money was powerful, and that power gave the hunter leaders the courage to use it to bargain.

“You’re going to buy me with money? Haha, that’s not a bad offer… But I already have too much money. Should I just kill you then?”

“I’ll do anything you ask!”

He was left with no other choice.

For that reason, if there was anything Ethan could promise, he was willing to do it.

“Why would I trust a backstabbing asshole like you?”

Crackkkkkk

Both of Ethan’s legs broke.

“Aghhhhh!”

While Ethan screamed and fall over backward, both of his arms got ripped off as well.

Ethan laid on the ground in a treacherous state.

Ethan shed tears while his body and lips trembled due to the fear.

“Please forgive me. I won’t go against you ever again,” said Ethan while breaking down in tears and trembling.

Ethan’s destroyed body began to recover again, but his recovery was also followed by pain.

The recovery of damaged nerves and structures was completely different from how normal healers treated injuries.

It was simply a skill that destroyed and recovered, but what was destroyed by another couldn’t be recovered.

This skill was used when torturing the devils as well, but it had developed greatly since then.

He could now do it without even using his hands.

It was one of the most convenient torture methods.

“Ho Sung, throw me a short sword,” said Min Sung.

Ho Sung Lee took out a sword from his item window and tossed it to Min Sung.

Min Sung caught it in the air and walked over to Ethan before kneeling in front of his head.

“Should I stab you in the eyes, which saw me as weak? Or cut out your tongue, which irritated me with your words? Or should I stab you in the ears for not listening properly?”

Min Sung shook the short sword in the air.

“Stuff like this is more fun with a knife. I like the sensation I feel in my hands.”

“Please just kill me,” Ethan pleaded in tears.

Min Sung looked at Ethan and smiled.

“Is there a reason why I should care about you at all? Try to kill yourself. I can make you come back alive.”

Min Sung looked down at Ethan with cold eyes, and Ethan was on the verge of losing his mind.

“Get a hold of yourself,” said Min Sung while looking into Ethan’s blue eyes.

And within his words contained great charisma.

These words sounded scarier than any of the other words Min Sung muttered.

In order to be forgiven, Ethan used all of his will to nod.

“Yes, Sir.”

Min Sung slowly put the sword into Ethan’s mouth.

“It’s cold, right?” Min Sung asked Ethan.

Ethan squeezed his eyes shut.

“Is this a surgery or something?”

Min Sung cut out his tongue and cheeks and then stabbed the sword into his eyes.

The sword went right through.

Ethan’s body wriggled.

He tried to endure the pain, but screams came out of his mouth.

“Shut your mouth,” said Min Sung with cold eyes.

Ethan trembled as he tried to endure the pain.

Min Sung stared down at Ethan before getting up and looking at the other hunter leaders.

The hunter leaders’ faces were pale.

They were trembling and on the verge of losing their minds.

Min Sung stepped on Ethan who was trembling on the ground and stepped over him.

He then slowly walked toward the hunter leaders.

Every time Min Sung took a step, the hunter leaders lowered their heads even more.

“Don’t be nervous. You’re making it look like I’m the bad guy,” said Min Sung with a light smile.

But the hunter leaders were unable to stop shaking.

“Are the Russian and the African hunter leaders dead over there?” Min Sung asked while pointing at the bodies on the ground.

“Yes, Sir.”

The hunter leaders all replied at the same time.

Min Sung stared at them with amusement and then nodded before walking over to the Russian hunter leader.

And when he used his reincarnation skill, the dead Russian hunter leader opened his eyes.

The reincarnated Russian hunter leader looked up at Min Sung as he slowly got up.

“It still works well,” said Min Sung while scanning the Russian hunter leader up and down.
