Chapter 338

<hr />

In response to Min Sung Kang’s command, Ho Sung Lee arrived at the room where Leight was confined.

The hunters on guard opened the door for him, and Ho Sung Lee went inside.

Leight was staring into space in the room.

Ho Sung Lee put a cigarette in his mouth and sat at the end of the bed with his legs crossed.

“If you cooperate, you’ll be set free,” said Ho Sung Lee.

X-HIT’s head, Leight, continued to stare into space.

Ho Sung Lee smoked his cigarette and waited for Leight to say something.

A moment later, Leight opened his mouth.

“What happens next?” Leight asked Ho Sung Lee.

Ho Sung Lee exhaled the smoke and offered Leight a cigarette.

Leight accepted it and put it into his mouth. Ho Sung Lee lit it for him with a smile.

“Since the declaration has been made, they’ll probably catch them all or more like… kill them.”

In response, Leight gulped.

“Then how will the hunters make a living?”

“The governments will probably give them money.”

In response, Leight smiled. And Ho Sung Lee knitted his brows at him.

“What?”

Leight looked at Ho Sung Lee with a smile.

“Do you really think the governments will give them money as they promised?”

“They will,” Ho Sung Lee answered with unshaken eyes.

Leight shook his head.

“You’re so innocent.”

“You’re the one who’s innocent.”

Leight looked at Ho Sung Lee.

Ho Sung Lee continued, “Can you say that after meeting Min Sung?”

Leight shivered.

It was clear from his neck that he had goosebumps.

Ho Sung Lee smiled.

“If the governments don’t keep their promises, there won’t be any exceptions. Just like the drug organizations… the governments will go down, too.”

“It won’t be easy because of human rights.”

Ho Sung Lee smirked.

“Human rights? Do you really think Min Sung cares about his image with the public at this point?”

Leight looked at Ho Sung Lee with surprised eyes.

“Look, it wasn’t planned to make Min Sung Kang be worshipped by the public. It just happened that way. Human rights? We don’t need any of that.”

Leight’s eyes slowly turned into fear.

Ho Sung Lee continued, “Min Sung is the only godly being who can stop the world from extinction. As long as he’s in the center, the balance will be established.”

Leight smiled bitterly.

“This is going to turn into Hell.”

“Why? Since Min Sung said he would step up, as long as he doesn’t get gutsy…”

“You really have no idea.”

“…?”

“Cockroaches can’t be exterminated.”

Ho Sung Lee smirked.

“I don’t know. I think you’re the one who has no idea.”

Leight looked at Ho Sung Lee with confused eyes.

“Look. Look at yourself, who tried to commit suicide.”

Leight’s eyes shook.

He had a lot to think about.

“Of course, just because the declaration was made, it doesn’t mean they’ll hide his tracks. But once time passes…”

Ho Sung Lee tilted his head and smirked once he thought of something.

“They’ll crawl out willingly and ask Min Sung for their punishment.”

Ho Sung Lee nodded while looking at Leight with a certain face.

“That’s what will happen.”

“Then I guess you came here for information.”

“Yeah.”

Ho Sung Lee took out a recorder from his item window and held it in his hands.

“Then shall we begin?”

Ho Sung Lee beamed at Leight.

<hr />

Ji Yoo Kim asked about what would happen next, and Min Sung gave honest answers.

“First, the hunter leaders will act. And if they don’t do a good job, I’ll act next.”

Ji Yoo Kim looked worried.

She couldn’t help it.

She didn’t know about the hunter leaders, but once Min Sung began to act, it was going to be a graveyard of bodies.

It was going to be hell where human rights didn’t exist.

Ji Yoo Kim was aware of this, but it was difficult to get involved.

That was because it was a very complicated problem.

“No one will outwardly step up, but there will be great resistance.”

What Ji Yoo Kim was talking about was in the image sense, and Min Sung was not unaware of this.

“I don’t care about that,” Min Sung stressed.

“Once we get information from the X-HIT’s head, Leight, we’ll spread the information to the hunter leaders. And then I’m going to send Ho Sung Lee to the site.”

“Ho Sung?”

“Ho Sung Lee will either deal with the problems that he faces during the search or report to me.”

“How skilled is Ho Sung Lee right now?”

“The most powerful after me.”

In response, Ji Yoo Kim looked surprised before she came to an understanding.

That was because she understood that he grew substantially while following Min Sung Kang around.

“… I see.”

Ji Yoo Kim seemed a little relieved.

If Min Sung acted before even checking for the evidence, a misunderstanding or accident could occur.

In order to prevent that, it was better to let Ho Sung Lee go in instead.

Ho Sung Lee currently had the best combat ability in the world followed by Min Sung.

“Commander of Central Institute.”

In response, Ji Yoo Kim turned and looked at Min Sung.

“No exceptions. Same goes for within Korea.”

Ji Yoo Kim smiled.

“Of course. No exception for me either.”

Instead of answering, Min Sung looked over at the dessert and drinks.

First, he brought the cup containing the Americano to his lips.

Slurp!

The hot Americano entered his mouth, and just as he experienced the heat and bitterness of the Americano, he picked up his fork.

The dessert was a cheese mousse cake.

Once the sweet cake entered his mouth after the bitter Americano, Min Sung jolted his eyes wide open due to the surprise.

The dessert was absolutely delicious.

Ji Yoo Kim smiled at Min Sung’s reaction, but Min Sung didn’t even notice and focused all of his energy on the cake.

When he saw the color, he assumed it was chocolate cake, but that wasn’t true.

It was a cheesecake.

The flavor was surprising.

On top were crumbles of cocoa that tasted like chocolate, and along with the crispy texture, he could taste the chocolate.

But then, the texture of the bread disappeared, giving way to the soft cheese flavor below.

The sweet and soft flavors went perfectly with the Americano.

As time went on, Min Sung found it more difficult to crawl out of the shocking flavors.

“Isn’t it delicious?” Ji Yoo Kim asked while leaning in.

“I can’t believe it. I never knew such flavors existed.”

Min Sung moved his fork as if he had discovered a whole new dish. He then hurriedly picked up his Americano.

Only after drinking the bitter coffee did the impact of the dessert intensify.

Min Sung took two sips of his Americano and moved his fork toward the cheese mousse cake again.

<hr />

The recording of Leight’s confession finished, and once Ho Sung Lee wrapped everything off, he put the material in his item window and tapped him on the shoulder.

“Good work. You’ll be able to get out soon.”

By the time Ho Sung Lee greeted him and stood in front of the metal door…

“I have a favor to ask you.”

In response, Ho Sung Lee looked back at him.

“What is it?” Ho Sung Lee asked.

“Can you check if my family is still alive?”

His eyes contained desperation.

“Didn’t you try to die?”

He was asking if that meant anything anymore.

Leight looked down and laughed.

“That’s true.”

Ho Sung Lee stared at Leight before sighing.

And then…

“I have to go back to Brazil anyway. I’ll check if I find the time, but don’t expect anything.”

“Thanks.”

Leight gave him a sincere gaze.

Ho Sung Lee found it burdensome, so he looked away and left the room.

Creak! Slam!

The heavy door closed, and Ho Sung Lee sighed.

Once he organized the material, he just had to hand it over to the hunter leaders, head over to where the mission would take place, and stand by.

That was because Min Sung Kang commanded that it had been confirmed whether corrupt hunters would appear.

Ho Sung Lee walked up and down a cold and quiet corridor and thought to himself.

He thought about why Min Sung Kang was trying to wipe out the criminal organizations.

As the forces became bigger, Min Sung Kang hated the idea of a war taking place against the governments.

That was because war meant that public order would be destroyed, and that would get in the way of peace.

But more importantly, war would pose a negative influence on traveling the world and eating food, which Min Sung enjoyed the most.

Besides that, it would also be bothersome and uncomfortable to deal with.

He had the power to resolve the issue himself, and he would benefit greatly from using that power to control the hunters.

That was probably the reason why Min Sung Kang decided to take over the forces.

And the one who was directly involved was Ho Sung Lee.

Until now, there were all sorts of incidents that were impossible to resolve while accompanying Min Sung Kang, but it was different now.

His role was more important than ever.

Ho Sung Lee reminded himself that he couldn’t make any mistakes or fall short of his expectations and went up to the 3rd floor of the Central Institute building and entered the VIP guest room.

Inside the empty guest room, Ho Sung Lee put a laptop on top of the table and began to organize the information.

Once he was finished with the information, he had to head straight to Rio, Brazil.

Ho Sung Lee took out the recorder containing Leight’s voice. He pressed play and typed in what he heard.

He organized the information in Microsoft Word, and he uploaded the recording file to an email.

Once he was finished, Ho Sung Lee left through the back doors to the parking lot and got into his car.

Ho Sung Lee started the car. He pressed on the gas pedal and drove over to the Warp Gate.
