Chapter 120

In response to Woong Jang’s suggestion, Min Sung scoffed.

‘I can do this.’

‘I’ve already done it once, so I can do it again.’

Min Sung began to cook more egg rolls with much confidence.

Just as he did before, he prepared the ingredients and added salt and pepper to the egg rolls.

Despite having done it the same way, the result was much worse.

Min Sung stared down at the egg rolls with glaring eyes.

He didn’t want to believe that he made them.

Min Sung felt frustrated at the thought that there was a problem with his cooking abilities.

The egg rolls showed patches of burnt spots and even the areas that looked all right irritated his tongue with saltiness.

Within Min Sung’s eyes was a look of hatred.

“What’s wrong with me?”

In response to Min Sung’s utterance toward the egg rolls, Woong Jang smiled and opened his mouth.

“Sir. I’m afraid I might be crossing the line if I talk to you about cooking.”

“That’s okay. Say it.”

Woong Jang thought for a moment before he continued,

“The way I see it, you’re not ordinary. I’m not saying this because you’re a hunter. From the very first moment I met you, I sensed that you’re not an ordinary person.”

Woong Jang smiled at Min Sung and continued,

“And I think there must be a reason for that.”

“And that has something to do with my cooking?”

“Perhaps.”

Min Sung smiled.

“That’s interesting.”

“It’s possible... that your heart is stiff. It’s cracked like a dry land, and your heart has become a sterile land.”

“...”

Min Sung stared into space with no response.

“You could say these two factors are the most important things when cooking. The first is to pour love into making food for someone else, and the second is to have detailed interest in what you’re cooking.”

Min Sung knitted his brows.

Woong Jang continued,

“But you don’t have to worry too much. You have yet to lose your appreciation for food. And seeing from your attitude toward life, I think you can become a good chef.”

Min Sung smiled bitterly.

Woong Jang looked back at him with a soft smile.

“I think time will solve the issue.”

Min Sung clenched on his teeth with a stiffened face.

“So... you’re saying this cooking represents my heart,” Min Sung uttered while looking down at his burnt egg rolls.

Woong Jang laughed.

“Don’t take it to heart. You’re a hero who’s saving the world, and that’s a huge responsibility.”

“Who are you calling a hero? I don’t feel burdened by it at all.”

Min Sung left the kitchen.

Woong Jang looked at Min Sung with warm eyes as he proceeded to the living room.

While the world hunters took their items and experienced pain, the American hunters also returned to the assembly.

As soon as they returned, the atmosphere became awkward.

Amongst allies that originally got along well, there was now a wall between them.

However, Ethan firmly believed that the wall could be knocked down, so he didn’t feel uneasy.

He was just annoyed about Samchunkyo.

Ethan took a look around him.

The hunters except for Ji Yoo Kim were excited at the thought of the item while the Korean hunters just stood still.

‘Are they not going to take the item?’

Ethan was suspicious of them but then let out a laugh.

There was no way that the weakest country wouldn’t eat the item... But why were the Korean hunters watching in jealousy?

Ethan walked to Ji Yoo Kim to confirm.

“Everyone else looks like they’re partying. Why don’t you seem excited?”

Ethan asked.

“We can’t take something that we can’t trust. We’re the only hunters who can fight the monsters.”

“Are you really not taking it? Wow. I thought you’d be the first.”

Ji Yoo Kim turned away to ignore Ethan.

Ethan took a look at the Korean hunters.

They looked like they desperately wanted to take the item as well.

“I feel like your underlings feel differently,” Ethan criticized.

However, Ji Yoo Kim didn’t respond.

“It looks like things will get harder for the weakest country thanks to their foolish general.”

“I’m in a position where I only have one Korean hunter to rely on, but doesn’t that go for all the other world hunters?”

Groan.

Hearing her rely on Min Sung Kang left him with no response.

He had forgotten for a while.

That Min Sung Kang was a Korean hunter.

However...

“I hope you don’t change your mind.”

Ethan turned around and laughed.

Min Sung Kang.

It didn’t seem like he had particular feelings toward Korea.

He was clearly not being treated as he should by Korea compared to his capabilities.

In other words, there were a lot of opportunities left open.

Ugh!

‘That dumb bitch.’

Everything could be solved with money.

From what he had seen from Min Sung Kang, there was plenty of room for conciliation.

Seeing how he took trillions from them, he was definitely greedy for money.

‘It might be possible to use that strong hunter as a weapon.’

If he couldn’t be enemies with him, all he had to do was turn him into an ally.

‘I’m going to steal Min Sung Kang from Ji Yoo Kim once and for all.’

Ethan opened his eyes wide.

***

Ho Sung Lee was resting inside the car when the thought of the Black Tower made him smile.

He was scared he would die after meeting a devil, but thanks to the world hunters, he earned some more time.

‘In any case, what will Min Sung Kang do with 1 trillion won?’

Ho Sung Lee imagined what he would do with that much money.

“Hahaha!”

Just the thought of it made him laugh, but 1 trillion won didn’t seem realistic to him.

“That lucky bastard. I can’t believe he sold a sword to the hunters for 1 trillion won. That’s legendary. But how is he going to spend all that?”

While he marveled at Min Sung Kang’s level, the phone rang.

It was his master, Min Sung Kang.

“This bastard. Ahem.”

Ho Sung Lee cleared his throat and answered the phone respectfully.

“Yes, Sir. This is Ho Sung Lee.”

I’m going to rest abroad for the time being. Don’t bother me with any useless calls.

“Oh... I see. Sure. Then shall I wait for you in Korea?”

Pick up Bowl’s clothes when they’re ready, and look for a house with a helicopter pad. Hire a helicopter pilot, and make it so that we can use the helicopter at the Warp Gate whenever we want.

Clack.

“Gasp... A helicopter and a landing pad? Wow, that’s crazy... Okay.”

Ho Sung Lee came back to his senses and looked at his phone.

“But why did he hang up without listening to my response? Am I his servant? Am I his slave?”

Ho Sung Lee grumbled but then realized that he sort of was. He then put a cigarette in his mouth and got out of the car.

Since he was a little far from the assembly, the sky was clear.

The thought of getting a break from Min Sung Kang’s shadow made him a lot happier.

“Anyway... a helicopter. His scale is at a whole another level. But how many requests was that? And what? Don’t call him with anything useless. I wouldn’t call him anyway.”

Ho Sung Lee let out a sigh before tilting his head.

“Does that mean he’ll take care of his own meals?”

He thought for a while and decided he would research restaurants anyway just in case Min Sung Kang gave him sh*t.

“I don’t know where he’s going, and I can’t even ask him... How am I supposed to do any research? He’s so much work. I’m getting sick and tired of him.”

Ho Sung Lee threw out his cigarette and got into the car to head to the airport.

“I want to take the Warp Gate, too. The plane takes too long... With the Warp Gate, it will only take a minute.”

Ho Sung Lee stepped on the pedal in jealousy.

***

Ethan recovered his relationship with the other world hunters.

Since the Black Tower was a shared objective, no good came out of them having a bad relationship.

A new meeting took place within the tent.

They would attempt to raid the 9th floor without Min Sung Kang.

The meeting was shorter than expected.

Since all of the hunters grew stronger thanks to the item, they were all eager to check their new capabilities.

From what they saw with the American hunters, they could now beat at least one devil.

They all thought that it was possible for them to clear the 9th floor.

That was why the meeting ended early.

“Then let’s go to the tower tomorrow morning.”

In response to Ethan’s confirmation, everyone nodded.

***

The next morning.

The squad finished their preparations for the mission.

The members took a boat toward the Black Tower.

As a result of their experience, they got off the boat at the correct point and began to swim.

They then got sucked up by the tower and arrived on the 1st floor.

The world hunters, who were squeezing out water from their clothes, showed looks of greed in their eyes.

They eagerly anticipated the appearance of a monster.
