Chapter 343: Chapter 343
***
The Russian hunter leader glanced around him in confusion.
He was unable to grasp what was going on.
That was because the vibe of Ethan and the other hunter leaders seemed strange and more than anything, the fact that Min Sung Kang was there was the most shocking.
“How does it feel to die and come back to life?” Min Sung asked.
‘I came back to life?’
The Russian hunter leader then remembered that he died in the hands of Ho Sung Lee.
‘But how am I alive right now?
It was Min Sung who answered the Russian hunter leader’s question.
“I brought you back.”
In response, the Russian hunter leader blinked his eyes.
Min Sung looked at the other hunter leaders with a smile.
“I told you I could bring you back to life.”
The Russian hunter leader as well as the other hunter leaders were unable to come to their senses due to the nightmare.
“You probably don’t know what’s going on since you were dead.”
Crackkkkk!
“Ugh!”
The Russian hunter leader’s head flipped backward.
That was because his arms and legs all broke.
He dropped to his knees in an instant, and after turning into a strange formation, the Russian hunter leader was unable to even scream.
And that treacherous state soon returned to his original form.
During that process, the Russian hunter leader let out the scream that he held in.
That was because along with the reformation of his bones and skin came with excruciating pain.
Min Sung’s face showed his fascination as he used his ability.
“How do you feel? Do you finally get what’s going on?” Min Sung asked the Russian hunter leader.
The Russian hunter leader was so scared that he was unable to look up at Min Sung, so he simply looked away and trembled.
When Min Sung tapped his pocket, Bowl popped out and landed on the ground.
“Bring the African hunter leader’s body,” said Min Sung.
In response, Bowl carried his large head on his shoulders as he ran over to take the African hunter leader’s body.
“Go and stand there.”
Min Sung pointed at where the other hunter leaders were gathered.
The Russian hunter leader sprung up and limped over.
Min Sung crossed his arms and walked in front of them.
The hunter leaders almost looked like monsters that were gathered in a slaughterhouse.
Min Sung looked at them and smiled.
“You’ll do as I say from now on. If you don’t…”
Min Sung looked at Ethan, who was still on the ground.
Ethan’s arm got popped out.
“Aghhhhhh!”
Ethan screamed his head off.
“You’ll die painfully and then come back to life.”
The hunter leaders stared at the ground as if they were in front of a devil.
“Also…”
Min Sung took out the video file from his item window and shook it.
“Don’t forget that I have this.”
“…”
The hunter leaders looked at the camera in Min Sung’s hands before dropping their eyes again.
The fact that Min Sung had a video of them meant that Min Sung could now get away with whatever he wanted.
Min Sung never cared about what the citizens thought about him, to begin with, but they thought this was a threat worth being scared of, and they were right.
There was now a clear mode of getting them to obey without having other thoughts.
“… Hunter leaders.”
In response to Min Sung’s low calling, the hunter leaders stood up straight and looked ahead of them.
“From this point onward, you will exterminate the hunters who are involved in drug organizations. If you can secure evidence that they are involved, you can kill them on the spot.”
“Yes, Sir!”
The hunter leaders all shouted at once.
Min Sung stomped lightly on the ground.
And when he did, the magic square on the ground was destroyed, and speckles of gold light fell like snow.
The hunter leaders gulped and stared at the remnants with surprised eyes.
The magic square was the product of a whole week’s worth of hard work by all of the hunter leaders.
So the fact that Min Sung broke it with one light stomp was enough to shock them.
The thought of what would have happened to them if they mistakenly attacked him was so dreadful that it was unimaginable.
It was a moment that reminded them to never mess with Min Sung.
“Ho Sung.”
In response, Ho Sung Lee, who was fully recovered after his berserker state, stood next to Min Sung.
“Yes, Sir.”
“I’m going to send you men from Central Institute. Work with them to check if there’s no problem during the process.”
“Yes, Sir.”
As long as they held the hunter leaders by their heads, there was no need to put a shadow on them.
And it seemed like things would be resolved as long as he put Ho Sung Lee’s team on it without the need for Min Sung to participate.
“Recommend me a steamed dish,” said Min Sung to Ho Sung Lee.
“A steamed dish? You’re going back to Korea, right?”
“I should.”
After some thought, he came up with a dish and took out his phone from his item window to text it to Min Sung.
“I sent you the address.”
Min Sung nodded and looked at the hunter leaders.
The hunter leaders looked nervous as they waited for Min Sung to leave.
“Ho Sung.”
“Yes, Sir.”
Ho Sung Lee, who was glaring at the hunter leaders, looked back at Min Sung.
“Stop getting beat up,” said Min Sung as if he was pathetic.
Ho Sung Lee coughed with an awkward face.
“I wasn’t getting beat up. I was just completing my mission… Ahem.”
Ho Sung Lee coughed while looking into the distance.
“I’m off.”
Min Sung turned around.
Ho Sung Lee bowed, and once Min Sung left the abandoned factory, he looked back at the hunter leaders with cold eyes.
Despite Min Sung being gone, the hunter leaders were still minding Ho Sung Lee.
Ho Sung Lee walked over to Ethan.
After putting out the sword from his eye, he used potions and treatment magic to recover himself to a certain extent.
“You recover pretty quickly.”
Ethan’s body was still trembling, and his eyes were shaking.
Since his state wasn’t normal, it seemed like he wasn’t in a situation where he could answer his question.
That was the aftermath of Min Sung’s attack.
Ho Sung Lee looked at Ethan while clicking his tongue before scanning the other hunter leaders and saying, “I’ve never seen anyone keep promises as well as Min Sung, so you can betray him and try your funny business if you dare, but you’ll have to pay the price.”
“…”
Ho Sung Lee sighed at the hunter leaders.
He wanted to stab all of them with his sword, but he couldn’t, and he didn’t want to deal with them either.
“Just do what you want. All I have to do is report what I see.”
After putting a cigarette in his mouth and lighting it, Ho Sung Lee remembered something and opened his mouth.
“Min Sung doesn’t like things getting dragged out so you’ll have to get a move on. If not, you’ll see something even worse than today. Okay?”
The hunter leaders were staring at the ground or in the distance without an answer.
“Aren’t you going to answer me?”
Ho Sung Lee asked the hunter leaders with killer eyes.
“Yes, Sir.”
The hunter leaders answered in a quiet voice.
“Answer me loudly. Got it?”
“Yes, Sir!”
The hunter leaders forcefully raised their voices.
Ho Sung Lee looked at the hunter leaders with disgust before shaking his head and leaving the abandoned factory.
***
Once Ho Sung Lee left, the inside of the abandoned factor felt like the ruins after a hurricane.
Inside the quiet space, Ethan laughed.
“Everything was a part of their plan. Ever since he came here,” said Ethan.
And they all knew.
Except for one person.
“What happened? Why was Min Sung Kang here?” The Russian hunter leader asked.
In response, another hunter leader explained.
Once the Russian hunter leader heard the full story, his face was overcome with fear.
The Russian hunter leader, who didn’t know what was going on until now, looked as though he was unable to escape fear after finding out.
“… I think we should do as we say for the time being. Let’s get moving.”
The time being that Ethan was talking about was simply out of keeping his pride, and although the other hunter leaders caught onto that as well, no one could speak up.
Ethan as well as the other hunter leaders had to accept that they were now Min Sung Kang’s puppets.

After returning to Korea, Min Sung entered the restaurant that Ho Sung Lee recommended.
Since the time was iffy, Min Sung was the only customer.
The employees welcomed Min Sung with surprise as well as happiness.
It was widely known that Min Sung liked famous restaurants, and the rumor was that every restaurant that Min Sung visited became popular afterward.
For that reason, the owner of the restaurant greeted Min Sung with a smile.
Customers were required to take off their shoes before entering, and the owner escorted Min Sung to his own private room.
When he took a look at the menu, he was told that an order was made over the phone by Ho Sung Lee already.
Min Sung nodded and passed the menu to the owner.
Not long after the owner left the room, an employee entered soon after with the dish and side dishes.
Min Sung’s eyes sparkled at the fancy steamed dish.
What was on top of the table was steamed seafood.
What he saw first was the octopus in the middle.
Around it was abalone as well as other seafood, and the fresh beansprouts looked good under the light.
The owner came himself to cut up his octopus, and he even took out the abalone from their shells.
“Enjoy.”
The owner flashed him a smile and quietly left the room.
In order to taste the food, Min Sung picked up his chopsticks.
