Chapter 185: The Day the Japanese Clan Collapsed
#1
“What are you going to do now?”
“Train.”
Even though he leveled up to a level 9 hunter, training was still the only thing on his mind.
“I thought since you became a level 9 hunter you would take it easy and rest more often.”
“I need to improve my battle skills.”
Jaehwang replied.
“Wow you’re really always working hard, aren’t you.”
Gwanjae said in a bit of a tiresome tone. He hated constantly hearing the story over and over again. Could he talk more coy? He had been persuading Jaehwang for many years.
But, Jaehwang never let it get to him.
‘Gwanjae was a successor, a team leader’
When Korea and America merged together the impact on the world caused everything to become numb. Even the presidents and others in charge didn’t know what to do about it.
Al the power that could be given was worth all of the wealth and honor. In order for Gwanjae to gain the position he has he had to work everyday until he reached the top.
Of course Gwanjae was just suddenly promoted to that position.
‘Everyday was a challenge. If he won, everything was his.’
Gwanjae’s words unknowingly caused a lot of trouble.
For example, what caused the most trouble was the dark night master, Heughom.
He’s the same age as Gwanjae and has just as much power. Gwanjae and his clan team were hated by the Dark NIght clan for that reason. They were each other’s sworn enemies.
However, as time went by they weren’t a challenge to Gwanjae anymore. After he had grown to the old age of eighty he decided it was time to spend most of his time resting and taking care of himself. On the other hand, Jaehwang was very capable of taking his role of taking down the Dark Night clan.
Considering how powerful he is and all his years of experience, he should be able to fight against them with a clan team with no problem.
Although Gwanjae was the one who was a genius in martial arts, after years went by he wasn’t so consistent with it anymore therefore he would need to brush up on his skills if he were to use it again. The best thing for him to do would be to just use magic.
Gwanjae was the kind of person to never wanted to forget to be kind. In the past when he first met Jaehwang he found that as a chance to hand down his martial arts skills to his grandson.
With that being said, Gwanjae wanted to hand down everything he knew to Jaehwang.
Of course he was a bit hesitant but...
“Hm...”
Suddenly he took a deep breath with an unsatisfied look on his face. From now on, everything he was about to say was only something he would tell to someone very close to him but he felt like saying anything more would make him seem pathetic.
“I have a present for you.”
“Huh?”
Jaehwang asked tilting his head.
As he saw Jaehwang’s confused expression Gwanjae felt more proud.
Maybe the fact that it was something he wasn’t expecting would make it even better.
“Well, I have to track down that Baekren guy.”
“Ah!”
Gwanjae said as he got the present and Jaehwang’s eyes opened wide in surprise.
After Jaehwang came back from the Alousu Gwanjae felt like family to him. He told him everything that happened and even everything about his past family.
In the past he always knew exactly what his goals were.
What were his goals? It was to carry out with his family’s fate and break them from their curse.
He was determined to go through with achieving that goal so he could meet his ancestors again.
Jaehwang decided to fix their bad relationship on his own. If no own else were to offer any help then he would feel a bit anxious. Actually, maybe it would be okay for someone to help only half-way, but that was all he could accept.
But even with that, things were tough with his family. It wasn’t just the fact that they were nothing like any other simple efficient hunters, they were very strong. Therefore, he had to make a little modifications to his goal.
‘I’ll use all my power to track them down.’
He felt like he could reveal everything to Gwanjae.
“Look at this picture. Tell me if you can figure out who I am in the picture.”
Gwanjae said handing him the photo. It was a picture of him in the Alousu with a group of hunters. He then noticed someone besides Gwanjae in the photo. It was Baekren.
A few moments later he then found Gwanjae.
“There.”
“Haha, right, that’s me. I was there on a mission with a group of hunters. 5 years after the generation mash up, hunters from Japan came over to Busan to join the clan... One of the newcomers was someone named “Baek Junseong’ he was actually native Korean and not from Japan.”
“I see.”
Jaehwang said nodding his head. Even though the picture was very old. His face still didn’t look too different from now.
“He was a bit of an untalented hunter during those times. When we went on a trip to Japan, we met a lot of other hunters before returning to Seoul. A family coming from Busan making their way to Seoul ran into a monster on the way there. The Busan clan went there as soon as they heard about it. But.. that was the last day they were seen.”
Gwanjae said and handed Jaehwang a document.
When he opened it, there was information on Baek Junseong. It wasn’t much but of course anything helped. After reading it Jaehwang tilted his head and said,
“He mostly used a sword?”
“Yes. It was a big and sharp sword. He never really used any other weapon.”
The documents stated that he usually used a sword and magic. It seemed that he had other skills to use as well but he preferred to use a sword against monsters.
“It said he had caught 20 seventh tier monsters so far in his lifetime...”
“That is correct. He didn’t have many goals and he was very secretive. There aren’t many official records on him. This document is a rarity.”
“I understand.”
It wasn’t a lot of information but until then he knew absolutely nothing about him so it was helpful to find out a little information on him. Although it was dozens of years old, he had witnessed that he still used the sword often so the information seem authentic enough.
“This...”
There was especially an amount of writing regarding one topic in the document.
It said that he tried to study the monster’s way but he didn’t completely succeed. His research wasn’t enough for his mission. And...
“Couldn’t he have died in one of the three dimensions that he went through?”
Jaehwang asked.

“Baekren! What’s going on-”
“Just relax.”
Click...
There was a scar on his forehead from Baekren’s sword.
“Baekren. What is the cost of loyalty?”
He said with an angry voice as he stood before Baekren. Baekren then looked at him with a bitter look on his face and said,
“Of course not. I have to think about myself as well.”
“I can’t believe you.”
The giant meeting room was filled with the scent of blood...
-Maybe those guys are at fault.
-That’s right.
He threw a few charms on the floor and they melted away onto the floor like water.
“The Japanese clan will sort everything out... Is there anyone else somewhere who is aware of my existence?”
There was a memory that he couldn’t forget but there was something he had to ask someone else. Just as he said that Baekren slightly swayed his hand under the meeting room table. His assistant tried to use his hiding skills but he couldn’t escape Baekren’s gaze.
“Save me...”
He said.
“Why did you betray me?”
“I-I was on the opposite team. T-Those guys were there for the Japanese clan... I had no choice...”
He said with a shaking voice.
“So you’re trying to say that this isn’t your fault?”
“Yes...”
He replied again in a shaky voice as he breathed heavily.
Time went on and he continued to shake in fear.
“Is there anyone who knows about me?”
Baekren asked him again.
“Of course not. I would never let that happen. I think everyone died the moment you cast that spell.”
“Good. Well then, I guess maybe I can spare you...”
Pong!
Baekren said just before kicking him in the stomach.
“Since you’re such a trader I don’t think I’ll be able to relax. The Japanese clan guys won’t be able to believe this.”
The meeting room was currently empty with no other clan member present.
“I thought I taught the soldiers better than this.”
“100 level 5 hunters...”
“Can you believe that number of hunters? Anyway, thanks. You have a lot of energy. I can appreciate that...”
“Huh?”
Pong!
Baekren then kicked him again.
After that he picked up his sword...
“So, maybe there are more people who knows...”
Whoosh...
Suddenly he heard the sound of a spell gathering around. It appeared and absorbed into the floor and it speed to begin to spend around little by little.
“Let’s hope nothing happens within the span of three days.”
He said.
He needed more time to make a dimension gate himself. However, he would need a lot of energy power for a gate like that. Especially since he was making himself that time.
The Day the Japanese Clan Collapsed, The end.
