Chapitre 32: Secrets
Baek Yun-Ho couldn't hold back and revealed his identity.
"I'm Baek Yun-Ho, the Guild Master of the White Tiger."
Jin-Woo's eyes remained cold, however.
"So what?"
Being on the receiving end of Jin-Woo cold response, Beak Yun-Ho's eyes suddenly transformed into that of a monster's. No, they completely resembled a beast now, instead.
"We lost nine Guild members through this incident. As the Master, I have the right to ask you a couple of questions regarding this matter."
This was no longer a request.
It was an order.
Or, even a threat.
Gilgamesh looked at him angrily and started to release a large amount of mana.
"Listen here you mongrel, I was just here to enjoy a good hunting trip. Your incompetent followers were nothing but a hassle in our way."
Jin-Woo: "I rescued three of your people. If you're really their leader, shouldn't you be saying thanks to me first?"
It was Baek Yun-Ho who had to withdraw his threatening aura first, as he was bombarded with this incredible pressure emanating from Jin-Woo and Gil.
"….I apologise. What about you two?"
Gil: "What about us?"
"Where did you came from?"
Gil: "It's none of your business, mongrel."
Baek Yun-Ho knew this wasn't the time, lowered his head. Seeing this, Jin-Woo turned around once more to leave.
"Hahn Song-Yi, let's get going."
"Okay."
Hahn Song-Yi carefully studied the mood of this place and followed after Jin-Woo. The two of them got on the van and not too long after, left the location.
'This doesn't make any sense….'
Baek Yun-Ho's thoughts were now in complete disarray. He quickly ran towards the sole surviving upper-rank Hunter, Park Hui-Jin.
"Excuse me, Miss Park Hui-Jin."
She had been trying to warm herself up with the cup of hot tea Hyun Ki-Cheol had handed over. She raised her head to meet Baek Yun-Ho's gaze.
"What is the matter with that guy? Why was he so downbeat like that?"
Gil opened the Gate of Babylon and summoned his prized Vimana.
Everyone, there were shocked at its appearance.
"It's an S-class magical treasure."
"Who does it belongs to?"
Izayoi followed by Gil, sat on the throne and flew away. Everyone on the ground were shocked at this, even Jin-Woo was no exception.
Baek Yun-Ho's eyes began to sparkle rather dangerously.
Indeed, Chief Ahn's discerning eyes were on the money again.
"From today onwards, you'll receive all the resources you need. You must bring them into our Guild, no matter what."
-----------------------------------------------------
Gil followed energy signs left by Baron, soon they reached a mansion. Baron was floating in the air waiting for them.
He brought the Vimana near him.
Izayoi: "How the hell did you get this mansion? Where is the owner?"
Baron: "I am the owner."
Izayoi: "The previous owner?"
Baron: "Locked in the basement with enough energy to live for 10 years; without food."
----------------------------------------------------------------
Here Jin-Woo was checking his loot, the dagger he won from the Ice elf leader.
[Item: Baruka's Dagger]
Rarity: A
Type: Dagger
A dagger used by the great warrior 'Baruka'. Weight reduction magic has been applied to it, allowing the wielder's movements to become even more agile than before.
Attack: +110
Agility: +10
'The Baruka's Dagger, eh?'
Not only did it feature high attacking power, but it also raised his Agility, too.
On that front alone, there was no need to compare it to 'Knight Killer', a dagger ranked 'B' he paid handsomely for, never mind the rank C 'Poison Fang of Kasaka'.
Its rarity alone was at A, too!
This was probably one of the best weapons to replace the Poison Fang of Kasaka that had been losing its effectiveness lately
Gil was not interested in this item, he came here looking for the ultimate prize. The strongest item of this world.
----------------------------------------------------------------
-Next morning-
Inside the private conference room of the White Tiger Guild.
"That's everything I saw."
Park Hui-Jin finished her report.
Although Baek Yun-Ho tried to dissuade her, saying that she should rest up first, she readily agreed to participate in the debriefing right away.
She added that her stay over there was comfortable (?), comparatively speaking.
"…"
"…"
The two men who sat through the debriefing, the Guild Master Baek Yun-Ho and the section chief Ahn Sahng-Min, were left utterly speechless.
The agent in charge of yesterday's disastrous training, Hyun Ki-Cheol was not present, currently in the Hunter's Association to discuss how to handle the fallout from this incident.
So, there were only three people inside this conference room.
Ahn Sahng-Min was the first one to break the silence.
"Everything you told us, are they all true?"
"You can speak to Goh Myung-Hwan and Yun Ki-Joong. They will corroborate everything I've said."
Those two Hunters went home right away, saying they missed their families. Park Hui-Jin was 100% certain that her testimony and theirs would not be any different.
'Well, I only described the things I saw, after all.'
Such as, when that man wasn't around, she'd hear the pitiful screams of Ice Bears every now and then coming from the forest some distance away, or such as, when he'd suddenly wake up in the middle of the night to perform push-ups while everyone was fast asleep.
She didn't bother to talk about things other Hunters might have experienced, those that she didn't get to see.
"Huh….."
Ahn Sahng-Min spat out a gasp that could either be a sigh or a groan.
One of the kids could use space magic, summon high-class items and shoot them at his enemies, he was also able to use fire magic to kill all the elves. It was hard to define whether, he is a mage class or a ranger class.
The other displayed unfathomable amount of strength, splitting the ground in one kick. Definitely an S-class fighter.
Seong Jin-Woo knocked out cold a rank A Hunter in one hit, he could use separate space magic freely, and most important of all, he controlled dozens of summoned creatures.
Everyone one of those were unbelievable things to swallow.
And even more shocking news than that was….
"They easily slaughtered all the creatures by themselves."
Baek Yun-Ho broke his silence and said that sentence, word by word, syllable by syllable. He was qualified to say that, because he was an S rank.
"Now that is the most unbelievable thing out of all of them."
Sure, the summoned creatures fought alongside him, but then again, those summons weren't his comrades, to begin with. No, they were simply a part of Seong Jin-Woo Hunter's skill.
In other words, it was pretty much the same thing as Seong Jin-Woo clearing the dungeon alone.
"Even if you're a really high-ranked Hunter, clearing an upper-rank dungeon by yourself is incredibly difficult. They did it like it was a child's play"
Not only that, but it was also a Red Gate, to boot.
What if it was Baek Yun-Ho?
Perhaps, he might be able to solo a rank B Red Gate, albeit just barely.
This feat was only achievable because Hunter Seong Jin-Woo was capable of summoning and controlling dozens of summons.
Ahn Sahng-Min remained stupefied as he spoke up.
"There's no doubt that he's a Re-Awakened possessing an extremely rare skill."
"And, the unknown kids were definitely S-rank."
