Chapter 128 – Different Dreams (2)
“Isn’t it said that the Carp Americano, which Hunter Jang Ji-wan started and promoted this time, is gaining great popularity among the middle-aged?”
“Yes. In the second half of last year, it achieved the first place in coffee sales. Currently, Hunter Jang Ji-wan is showing sincerity in the coffee business enough to change his nickname to ‘Cafe Americano’. Usually, Hunter Jang Ji-wan has been greatly loved by the public for his serious and charismatic appearance, and coffee beans that match well with such an image seem to be a big hit.”
In the group’s TV, there was a mention of Jang Ji-wan Hunter. This wasn’t very good news for those who hated the Diamond Club. Kim Hyun-gi said while smoking a cigarette.
“So, what are you going to do specifically for your next operation?”
“I’m going to attack the Diamond Club headquarters.”
“Attack the headquarters? Just me and the Black Dragon Ark?”
“Okay.”
The masked man nodded his head. It was such a shameless and calm answer that Kim Hyun-ki almost understood it and moved on. However, Kim Hyun-ki soon calmed down. Because even for his vengeful man, attacking the Diamond Club’s headquarters sounded too bold. The masked man saw Kim Hyun-ki’s expression and added.
“It’s not just the two of us. I need to correct it. That includes the gate. I don’t know how many will open.”
“As expected, am I the one who installs the gate?”
Whether all of the gates worked was another matter, but the installation itself was very easy. Kim Hyun-ki felt her body tremble as she asked the question. This time it wasn’t just terrorism. The academy bombing and unleashing a monster in the middle of the city were on a different level. Even a rough estimate could have killed hundreds of people.
Said the man.
“I’ll use someone else than you install. We also have civilian members. It doesn’t get caught by the superintendents.”
“Ah, I see.”
Kim Hyun-ki’s ability was too easy for her surveillance-type abilities to distinguish. The sight of him climbing up walls or moving between buildings in an unusual trajectory was too good to attract the attention of those with powers. If he installed the gate this time, there was a great chance that he would be caught before it even started and ruin the operation.
So this time he chose to write the few civilians within the organization. Within the organization, there were also a few civilians who had a deep grudge against the Diamond Club and listened to men. Said the man.
“All you have to do is press a button there. It doesn’t matter if you run away as soon as you press it. Because it’s the end of the gate experiment. Our Black Dragon Ark is also going with us, right? It would be easy to escape this time. Huh? Okay? All you have to do is press a button.”
Kim Hyun-ki nodded his head. If he could destroy Jang Ji-wan, he could do anything. Choi Sun-hong of the Black Dragon Ark was also grinding his teeth after seeing Jang Ji-wan brazenly doing business. He also wanted to flatten that handsome face.
The night was deep. The completed simple gate equipment was rolling around.
*******
The installation of the simple gate went more smoothly than expected. The watchers in the Diamond Guild were exceptional in their ability to distinguish between awakened people and monsters, but they had no talent in detecting suspicious things from ordinary people. A few civilian gang members wearing suits or company uniforms naturally infiltrated the surrounding buildings and set up a square gate in an invisible place.
Invisible squares were created on the back wall of the roof, the boiler room, the material warehouse, and places where there are few people and even few people come to clean. These devices were hiding their powers, waiting to be activated.
And in the meantime, the diamond club’s surveillance-type abilities were resident in the diamond club in three shifts, and they were monitoring whether suspicious awakenings were going around. The faces of the watchers became haggard day by day, but those preparing for revenge waited day by day, swollen with anticipation.
******
On the day of operation. There were no clunky spoilers like notices. The only things prepared were Button, the Black Dragon Ark, and Kim Hyun-ki. Two of the Diamond Club’s S-class were currently in a situation where they could not return to the gates in the provinces due to long-term missions. It was impossible to defeat Jang Ji-wan alone, but when it came to knocking him out, Choi Sun-hong and Kim Hyun-ki could do anything.
Kim Hyun-ki looked at the building of the Diamond Club in the distance. In a way, the neat and trendy design of the building, which looked like an insurance company, had a large signboard reading [Diamond Club]. Whenever I looked at that signboard, my body would tremble and my breathing would become rough. Kim Hyun-ki said while fiddling with the button.
“You have to go closer. I just pressed It didn’t work here.”
“Let me approach you slowly.”
Choi Sunhong said that and looked around once more. No one could recognize them wearing hats and even masks. They walked cautiously toward the Diamond Club. It was not long before the gate button’s range was reached.
**********
“This is Kim Hyun-ki, right?”
That time. The appearance of Kim Hyun-ki was caught on the CCTV installed in the surrounding traffic line at the Diamond Club. Of course, it was a hidden camera that did not even notify the surrounding building owners, let alone agree, but the effect was clear.
They not only look like Kim Hyun-ki, but also a sturdy middle-aged man walking next to him. I was able to confirm the appearance of the Black Dragon Ark.
A member of the Black Dragon Room, who was on night watch in turns inside the club, took a cell phone with a surprised face and called Hunter Lee Jun-hyeok.
“Older brother. Yes. Kim Hyun-ki appeared. Which… Bar, it looks like the ark has come too.”
The members of the Black Dragon Room, Jung Soo-hyeon and Ichie rented a hotel near the current Diamond Club and a hotel near the Diamond Club training ground, and took turns taking turns taking care of lodging and lodging. One reason was that Kim Hyun-ki was highly likely to point to the Diamond Club facility as the next target of terrorism.
That expectation was exactly right, and Kim Hyun-ki was about to appear in front of the Diamond Club headquarters. Lee Jun-hyeok, who was staying near the Diamond Club training ground, hurriedly changed his clothes and called Seong Ha-yeon, who was staying near the headquarters.
“Hey, Kim Hyun-ki appeared. And there is an ark next to it.”
Seong Ha-yeon opened her eyes wide and took a deep breath while scratching her head. Hunter Lee Jun-hyeok was also excited, but his judgment was cold.
“Send only one person and pretend to know the ark. Because of the character of the ark, then he will run away unconditionally. First of all, it’s important to separate Kim Hyun-ki and the ark, and to catch Kim Hyun-ki firmly. You know?”
“Yes. I know.”
Seong Ha-yeon said that and placed her cigarette in her mouth. She’s not allowed to smoke indoors, but she wants to smoke now. In the back, Ichie and Kim Yu-jung were already changing their clothes and getting ready. Seong Ha-yeon said.
“I’m waiting for you to go out first.”
And Seong Ha-yeon opened the door of the dorm where Jeong Su-hyeon and another talented person were staying. Jeong Su-hyeon was lying on the bed, fiddling with his cell phone, and the ability person hired by the Black Dragon Room this time was out on the veranda and enjoying the view of the city. As soon as the two saw Seong Ha-yeon’s serious expression, they started preparing to go out without saying a word.
“It’s nice that I don’t have to sign. Let’s get out quickly.”
At that time, Kim Hyun-ki and the Black Dragon Ark were walking very slowly toward the Diamond Club. It was because he thought he shouldn’t run or make any noticeable movements. However, thanks to that, Seong Ha-yeon and the others, who ran out of a nearby hotel, were able to buy time to organize their strategy. The van with five people was looking at Kim Hyun-ki and the Black Dragon Ark, who were walking a short distance away.
Kim Yu-jeong and Jeong Su-hyeon were taken aback when they saw the Black Dragon Ark standing there, but they didn’t say anything. Seong Ha-yeon said.
“I will go and draw attention to our ark, so in the meantime, you guys carry out the operation. Got it?”
Kim Yoo-jung nodded her head and replied.
“All right.”
Seong Ha-yeon nodded her head. Everyone made eye contact and wished the success of this operation. Amidst the light of prayer, the Awoken hired by the Black Dragon Room looked at the surroundings with a puzzled expression.
Seong Ha-yeon opened the van door and ran out. As soon as she got out of her car, Kim Yoo-jung drove her car and passed Kim Hyun-ki, then got off and hid into her alley. Seong Ha-yeon shouted.
“Ark!”
I could see Kim Hyun-ki and Choi Soon-hong shaking her shoulders in surprise. Kim Hyeon-gi soon started walking as if nothing was wrong, and Choi Soon-hong shivered and started running in the other direction. Seong Ha-yeon shouted as she chased after Choi Soon-hong.
“Ark! That’s right, Lord! Ark! It’s me Hayeon! Yes?”
The Black Dragon Ark gritted its teeth at the pitiful voice. He shook his head and started to run faster. Seong Ha-yeon started running with all her might as if she couldn’t lose.
Kim Hyun-ki shook her head as she watched her. She felt she had to hurry. It was because it didn’t seem like a coincidence that the Black Dragon’s Hunter was here. Maybe someone was already coming to catch him.
But the situation was already over. Because it was just one button press. With just one press of a button, this city will turn into hell with monsters popping out from all sides. Kim Hyun-gi pressed the button in her pocket once. There was still no response from the gate.
It seemed that the distance was still short. Kim Hyun-ki took a few more steps forward.
“Brother.”
And Kim Hyun-gi stopped her steps in front of her alley. He couldn’t move He didn’t even think of pushing a button. Across the alley, Youngmi was laughing.
“Uh…”
“Brother. What are you doing?”
Youngmi. He was waving to himself just as he was when he was alive.
