Chapter 226


    The White Tiger Guild and the ck Tortoise Guild are a rivalry that everyone across the country knows.


    The size of the hunters they have and the brand value are simr.


    That’s because the namees from the White Tiger and ck Tortoise of the four directions.


    The two guilds were always lumped together as a set and were on people’s lips.


    However, this was truly unfair from the ck Tortoise Guild’s perspective.


    ‘Our guild was created a year earlier!’


    In the first ce, ‘ck Tortoise’ was not the ck Tortoise of the four directions.


    ‘ck Tortoise of the Hyeonmoo Gang! ‘I just named it after the representative’s name!’


    Yes.


    In fact, it was just a name I came up with intuitively.


    But one day, a yearter.


    Suddenly, a man named Baek Yoonho left the Reaper Guild and founded the ‘White Tiger Guild’ named after himself.


    From then on, White Tiger Guild and ck Tortoise Guild began toe up as a set in people’s mouths.


    From there, the ck Tortoise Guild began to have more and more headaches.


    Friendlypetition? Everything is good.


    Competition between guilds was okay.


    The problem was Baek Yoonho.


    ‘what? Baek Yoonho, that hypocritical person donated again?!’


    It was crazy.


    On the subject of a new guild that was created a year or soter.


    Just quietly go hunting and make money.


    The White Tiger Guild started doing too many good deeds for no reason.


    Targeting a field that doesn’t make any money.


    Like saving low-level hunters.


    Taking care of the welfare of miners.


    As a result, the White Tiger Guild grew at an rming rate.


    People began to praise Baek Yoonho in unison.


    As a result, I suddenly started getting criticized for beingpared to ck Tortoise Guild because their names were simr.


    In terms of sales alone, the White Tiger Guild could never beat the ck Tortoise Guild.


    Because I only choose things that don’t make money! 1


    On the other hand, the brand value was quickly overtaken.


    The middle and lower level hunters who had just awakened also revered the White Tiger Guild and were anxious to join it.


    As a result, the White Tiger Guild was always overflowing with applicants, and the number of hunters applying to the ck Tortoise Guild, which was rtively reviled, gradually decreased.


    Then, when the White Tiger Guild announced that from now on it would only hire hunters with the skill to be a beast, the


    number of people applying to the ck Tortoise Guild increased again, but that was also unlucky for Hyeonmoo Gang.


    At that time, the beast hunters were treated as half-human beasts by the citizens and were objects of fear, so Baek Yoonho, who was in the same position as them, made a bold decision to personally embrace them, which once again won great favor among the people.


    At that time, it was natural for the Hyunmu Guild to bepared again and be a hot topic among people.


    … … because of this.


    Strictly speaking, the two guilds were not on bad terms with each other, but the ck Tortoise guild unterally disliked the White Tiger guild.


    “Baek Mi-ho.”


    red at Baek Mi-ho in front of them with disapproving eyes.


    “What are we going to do now?”


    “So Hyeonmoo Gang, what are you trying to do to Hunter Seong Su-ho?”


    “I am simply making a recruitment proposal to a new S-ss hunter. “They were also offering very generous contract term


    s.”


    “Not a ve contract?”


    “… … Baek Yoonho.”


    At that moment, Hyun Moo-gang’s impression was crumpled once again when he saw Baek Yoonho appear next to Baek M 1


    i-ho. 1


    “ve contracts, what kind of nonsense is that?”


    “Don’t you know better? “There are rumors spreading throughout the industry that the ck Tortoise Guild is forcing hunters to


    sign ve contracts.”


    “under! Such fake news… … .”


    “Fake news? 10 year contract. Huge penalty for leaving the guild. “Can you confidently say that it’s really fake news?”


    I flinch.


    ck Tortoise-gang’s expression momentarily flinched at Baek Mi-ho’s words, but instead he stepped forward with an even mo


    re shameless look on his face.


    “There is clearly a confidentiality use in the contract, but it seems there were some people who kept their mouths shut.


    Yes, there is definitely such a contract. “But what’s so bad about that?”


    “what?”


    “This is a contract that the hunters themselves decided and signed. Penalty for withdrawal? What is that? “Isn’t this a natur


    al use since we paid arge down payment?”


    “Of course? “It’s only been two years since the cataclysm urred, so what’s tying Hunters up for 10 years but a ve con


    tract?”


    Suho scratched his cheek while looking at the people fiercely arguing over him.


    ‘… … There is no room to intervene.’


    It’s embarrassing.


    I have no intention of signing a contract with anyone, Hyunmu Guild or anywhere else. 1


    Rather, what was more important to Suho was how many S-ss hunters were gathered in the association.


    ‘… … Could it be that there are only five people?’


    In order to go to North Korea, the approval votes of five S-ss hunters were required.


    However, only five people gathered.


    He turned his head and looked at General Manager Lee Se-hwan, who created this ce.


    Director Lee Se-hwan, who was busy chatting with his subordinates behind the scenes, caught Su-ho’s gaze and shook his


    head and said.


    “okay. I guess this is it. “Other S-ss hunters have been unable to contact me because they are raiding dungeons, or have


    expressed their intention to decline, saying they are busy.”


    In fact, S-ss hunters rarely gather in one ce except for reasons like today.


    Because they were so busy, it was difficult to keep their schedules in sync, and the opportunity costs that would be missed


    in the meantime were enormous.


    Then, if a dungeon break breaks out in the distance, who will take responsibility for the countless sacrifices made by citizen


    s?


    So, even today, there were only five S-ss hunters who ultimately epted the association’s invitation.


    The remaining people couldn’t be contacted because they were in the middle of raiding the dungeon, or they responded tha


    t they wouldn’t be able toe.


    “But consider yourself fortunate that the five of us somehow gathered together. The problem is that everyone here must all


    ow you to go to North Korea… … .”


    After hearing Director Lee Se-hwan’s words, Su-ho looked at the five S-ss hunters, excluding Baek Mi-ho, one by one.


    First, Lim Tae-gyu of the Reaper Guild.


    He asked, looking at Suho’s side.


    “Suho. I can’t see Do-gyun, where is he and what is he doing these days? “You couldn’t have taken him all the way to Indi


    a, right?”


    “… … “I’ve been running hard on the treadmill at the gym these days.”


    “Oh, really? Good. “Moderate exercise is good for your health.”


    “yes. sure.”


    Although it is not very appropriate, it will definitely be good for your health if your lower body is strong.


    Thanks to the mummy bandages and healing potion, there is no need to worry about dying.


    “… … .”


    Still, without realizing it, Suho was avoiding Lim Tae-gyu’s eyes.


    Anyway, the other four.


    Baek Yoonho and Hyun Moo-gang are fighting hard in front.


    And then the two men and women behind them caught Suho’s eyes.


    Eunseok of the Blue Dragon Guild. 4


    Ma Dong-wook of the Fame Guild.


    “Don’t you think it will be easier than you think?”


    At that moment, Lim Tae-gyu was next to him and spoke up for Su-ho.


    “Iknow, right.”


    “You don’t know about me and Baek Yoonho, but the other three won’t ept you so readily. “We S-ss hunters arepeting with each other due to conflicts of interest between guilds, and at the same time, we don’t want other S-sses to go to North Korea and die.”


    Lim Tae-gyu continued his exnation, leisurely crossing his arms and leaning his back against the wall.


    “Regardless of national prestige or security issues, if there is one fewer S-ss member right now, those of us who remain


    will be busier. It might be easy for you because you have a lot of summons, but we are no joke, we are so busy that we


    are almost dying. But how did you really end up with so many summoned beasts?”


    “I just happened to see it.”


    “Turning words. I came here because I was curious about that, so if you just answer that question properly this time, I will a


    llow you to go to North Korea or whatever. “On the condition that I won’t take Do-gyun with me.”


    Lim Tae-gyu was always worried about his son.


    In fact, at this very moment, the son was suffering to the point of death from Ammut before North Korea, but sometimes ig


    norance is medicine. 1


    “Anyway, in order to gain the consent of all five people gathered here, it is essential to prove one’s own strength. You will h


    ave to listen to the requirements presented by each person. “It might have been better if there were more people, but since t


    here were only five people gathered, you are now a strict member.”


    [Solord. You ignore thews of these ugly people. Is there a way for us to just secretly go on our own for the sake of the gre


    ater good?]


    At that moment, it was Beru who was next to Suho, sticking his face out and whispering like a devil.


    Then, on the other side, Quay, a former viin, showed his face and whispered like an angel.


    [You must not be deceived by such devilish words! The moment you are caught, the Master will be a wanted S-ss


    viin! In that case, how about killing everyone gathered here and destroying the evidence? Should I secretly sting you with a


    poison needle?]


    [King of bugs, Queresha of the gue, his eyes sparkle.]


    “… … .”


    It was Suho who silently pushed Beru and Quay into the shadows.


    Just then, Eunseok and Ma Dong-wook came up to Suho and started talking.


    “Wow, what were they just doing? You said you were an S-ss summoner. Are those your summons? It looks simr to the ck guys I saw in the Loktak video? no way?”


    Eunseok, the representative of the Blue Dragon Guild, was abat hunter with a specialty in closebat, and a pers


    on with fighting spirit oozing from his body made of solid muscles.


    He must have stopped by while raiding the dungeon just a moment ago, and was fully armed with gauntlets and armor stai


    ned with the blood of a demonic beast.


    On the other hand, Hunter Ma Dong-wook of the Fame Guild was an old man with a warm-faced appearance who


    was wearing loose-fitting clothes as if he were out of town, let alone armed.


    But the problem is its size.


    “haha. “You are the new S-ss hunter!”


    Ma Dong-wook, an extremelyrge old man whose body was so enormous that it was doubtful whether he was even huma


    n, came in front of Su-ho with a kind smile.


    Then, he touched Suho’s shoulders and arms and was amazed.


    “oh! The body is very solid! What a great physique! Oh my, that was rude. My name is Ma Dong-wook. “He leads a famous


    guild in Honam.”


    He was groping Suho’s body and btedly shook his hand, and Suho also greeted him and shook his hand.


    however.


    “Nice to meet you. My name is Seong Su-ho… … .”


    Wow.


    “… … ?”


    Suddenly, Ma Dong-wook, who was holding Su-ho’s hand, began to feel an enormous grip.


    When Suho raised his head with a puzzled expression, Ma Dong-wook’s expression looking down at him suddenly had a mi


    schievous look mixed in.


    “I was curious. “Did you really burst that huge beast with your fern-like fists?”


    Unlike Eunseok, Ma Dong-wook’s only interest was power.


    The ck beasts that were widely known to be Dungeon Break were controversial, but the scene where Suho burst a huge


    beast like a balloon with a single punch was broadcast live around the world.


    “Let me see how I can hold on to my strength. “That’s the end of my requirements.”


    Coo coo coo coo… … !


    A mountain-like force began to radiate in all directions from the entire body of the superrge S-ss hunter, who was clu


    tching Suho’s hand.


    ‘This power… … ‘I’m serious.’


    Suho was in a simr situation to when he first met Thomas Andre, so he wasn’t embarrassed anymore.


    ‘I haven’t seen one or two grandfathers who like to boast about their strength.’


    Suho smiled and asked Ma Dong-wook.


    “Is that really your only requirement?”


    “Hoo. Can you hold on to this? of course! If I sent a guy who couldn’t even withstand my strength to North Korea, I’d be so


    worried that I couldn’t sleep… … Huh?!”


    Moment.


    Ma Dong-wook’s expression, who had beenughing heartily and tightening his grip even more, crumpled.


    “Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu… … !”


    Something shocking started to happen.


    … … ?!


    Baek Yoonho, Baek Mi-ho, and Hyun Moo-gang, who were fighting next to him at that unusual appearance, stopped talking


    and looked at him with wide eyes.


    Ma Dong-wook’s face turns bright red and he grits his teeth.


    He started out as a joke, but now he has started to increase his magical power to withstand the power of Suho.


    The air around the area spread around Suho and Ma Dong-wook.


    Suho’s calm voice flowed from the center.


    “Director Se-hwan Lee.”


    “Uh, huh?!”


    Lee Se-hwan, who had been frozen in embarrassment next to him, came to his senses and hastily responded to Su-ho’s w


    ords.


    “Are there any A-level healers in the association right now?”


    “Of course. “Why is that?”


    Again, it is notmon for S-ss hunters to gather like today.


    And because they always hang out with the weak they are supposed to protect.


    Things like this always happened at these meetings.


    Things like organizing ranks or sparring where one exchanges strength in the spirit of pure training.


    So, this time too, Director Lee Se-hwan had an A-ss healer on standby in case of emergency.


    For reference, an A-level hunter had the ability to regenerate limbs even if they were cut off.


    “Then it will be okay.”


    Upon hearing Director Lee Se-hwan’s answer, a smile appeared on Suho’s lips.


    and.


    Kwasik!


    “… … !”


    A silent scream burst from Ma Dong-wook’s mouth.
