Chapter 224 – Strike Back (2)
A few days passed.
The construction site, which was progressing smoothly, roared.
Bang!
Surprised by the heavy crash, passers-by turned their heads. The truck, stuck at the construction site, completely knocked down one pillar and was spinning its wheels in the air. A construction worker sat on the floor in contemplation.
The building, whose pillars collapsed, tilted sharply to one side and collapsed completely with a grotesque sound. Workers under construction were evacuated without incident, but construction was temporarily halted in the aftermath of the building itself collapsing.
At the same time, at another construction site, two C-class monsters and one D-class monster suddenly broke into the construction site. All the construction workers were safe, but the impact on the building caused problems with the machinery installed inside. At the time, one of the special technicians who were testing the machine was killed in an internal explosion, and the technicians were evacuated due to the smoke filling the interior.
And 15 minutes after that, in the middle of the lunch break at another construction site, all the workers went to have lunch, and suddenly the crane collapsed and hit the landmark. Two engineers who were in charge of the interior design of the landmark died in the accident, and three others were seriously injured and taken to the hospital.
Park Seong-jin frowned at the construction site accidents that occurred simultaneously. Machines that had no omens or abnormalities caused abnormalities, and the appearance of monsters was suggestive of the intervention of the hunters. Park Seong-jin kept in touch with the staff and asked.
“Hey! What! What happened? Uh? What the fuck is the news now?”
He was originally scheduled to do a magazine interview today. But he was on his way to the construction site, stunned by the news of the tragic accident that arrived before the interviewer. He was suspicious just by hearing the story. The crane, which had even completed a safety inspection yesterday, suddenly collapsed and hit the building, and the hunters who appeared to subdue the intruding monsters avoided the workers and accurately induced the monsters to crash into the building.
At another construction site, a large-scale accident occurred when an unmanned truck crashed into a building and stopped construction.
Seongjin Park thought as he wiped the sweat from his forehead. He thought no one noticed, did someone notice? [Ground Zero] Had neither the time nor the money to think of such a strategy. It was obviously something that happened in another guild, but I couldn’t figure out where it was.
Is it the [Diamond Club]? Is it [Amazing]? Is it [Paradise]?
Arriving at the construction site, Park Seong-jin looked around the disaster site wiping the sweat from his forehead. The construction site was demolished in half by a crane. Rescuers were pulling technicians out of the crevices of collapsed buildings. The members of that terrorist group, whose heads were smashed or whose bones were broken all over the body, groaned, were high-quality members of their own group.
“Fuck…”
Park Seong-jin was dumbfounded and spat out curses. The phone rang once again. Park Seong-jin made an impression while answering the phone.
“What?”
“Ah yes. This is the Yanghwa Bridge construction site, and the research facility inside exploded, causing a commotion.”
“What?”
“Oh that… What can I do? It’s going crazy now.”
“Wait. Wait a minute. Got it?”
Seongjin Park hung up her phone and bit her nails.
When I hung up, another call came from another site. While I couldn’t answer the phone, I was sequentially conveying the news of the ‘accident’ from other construction sites that had not been reported. There was a site where armed forces, including the police, suddenly occupied the construction site, and there was also a site where it was smashed in an ignorant way.
“What can I do?”
Seongjin Park had her head hurt. She was at a loss as to how to deal with the problem on her own. He picked up the phone again and called Hyunwoo Lee.
*****
Same time. Oh Min-young was sitting in the corner of her cafe and watching her video on her cell phone. It was a preparation video for a guerrilla concert by a popular band currently being broadcast live.
[Yes! Hello everyone! 〈 Park Princess is coming! 〉 Park! Ball! Note!. At this time today! The national band you love! National younger brother! There will be a surprise guerrilla concert by ftblue! 30 minutes from now! FT Blue’s leader Ki-Young Hong’s alma mater, Seoul Central High School, is scheduled to perform! Now, can you see the truck that will be used for this performance?]
When Minyoung Oh saw the truck behind the MC, she unknowingly exclaimed.
“Wow, that’s fucking sexy.”
“What? What?”
Another band member who was eating jajangmyeon at the word “Sexy” Approached Oh Min-young in surprise. He looked at the band equipment and truck on the screen of his phone and said with a bemused expression.
“Ah fuck, what’s sexy about this.”
“Hey, every piece of equipment here is worth a decent car.”
“It would be perfect for you to go to the army. There are 1 billion and 2 billion cars lined up there.”
Oh Min-young ignored the sarcasm of the band members and looked at the truck with an ecstatic expression. It was because when I was looking at this truck, it seemed like the life of traveling around the country and performing in a truck was unfolding right in front of my eyes. She looked at the truck for a long time with her eyebrows curved and said to the band members.
“Hey, do you want us to go see this?”
“Suddenly?”
Oh Min-young said with a twinkle in her eyes.
“Hey, let’s go. Can’t we just watch it before the performance starts?”
“What are you going there for? You said you’d enter the gate later.”
“Ah, Gate. Fuck.”
When Oh Min-young brought up her gate story, she frowned again. Even if she only thought about cancer, her hunter life didn’t seem right. Band One said as she let out her sighs and cursed at her.
“Hey, what are you so annoyed about? Uh? Let go of your anger.”
“Oh, I don’t know. Just go through the gate and you’re screwed. It doesn’t seem like they treat me well, and the fucking complaints come in whenever I’m bored. No fuck, I always get complaints about how noisy I am when I run the gate at night. Aren’t you crazy bastards? That I have to fight while paying attention to them sleeping?”
Oh Min-young wrapped her face tightly once, and then she rubbed it as if she was washing her face. Red cheeks and bloodshot eyes peered between her fingers into her café. She said as she brought her knees together.
“Ana. I really need to hit the hunter. I can’t.”
“Hey. Think carefully. Uh?”
The band members stopped Oh Min-young once again. She was the source of the band’s finances, because without her, her immediate existence was at stake.

“Did you hear the news?”
I, Yujeong-senpai, and Ichie, who rushed up to the guild, all nodded with firm expressions. Lee Joon-hyeok also wore his gear with his face hardened. He said as he put the gear on his arm.
“I got a call from [Diamond Club] And [Paradise]. All of those landmarks are gates.”
“Gate?”
Senior Yoo-jung asked back in surprise. Ichi also blinked in surprise, and I also narrowed my eyes because I couldn’t believe the words that came out of Lee Jun-hyeok’s mouth. Seong Ha-yeon said in a sitting position.
“Oh, turn on the blinker and tell me. Surprise our baby what is a gate Aren’t you crazy bastards?”
“Why did you put a gate?”
I asked. Lee Jun-hyeok shook his head. He glared at us as he put on his gear on the other hand as well. It was only then that we realized that we also had to pack our gear and started putting on our gear. Hunter Lee Junhyeok said as he put on his gear.
“Nandle, do you know? What do we know the madman thinks? They must have wanted to kill everyone by laying down the gate.”
Why did you want to kill me? I didn’t understand. For what reason? Ichie asked.
“Then where are we going?”
Hunter Lee Junhyeok looked at Ichie and said.
“We wait near the landmark site just in case. Arresting Lee Hyun-woo is not under our jurisdiction.”
I’m a bit bitter about that, but I can’t help but nod his head. We couldn’t catch Lee Hyeon-woo, an S-class hunter with our power, and there were still two more S-class members in the Diamond Club. It seemed that the S-class Hunter was coming up directly for this operation.
Junhyeok Lee said.
“Let’s go.”
****
Hunter Song Yeo-wool of the Diamond Club looked at Lee Hyun-woo’s residence with a tense face. A van carrying five Hunters, including him, was running down the road. The glass windows of the tall building bathed in the morning sunlight reflected the clear blue sky.
“After…”
Song Yeo-ul stroked her rosary beads and took a deep breath to calm her nervous mind. When I started this operation, there were so many different opinions.
The first part where the opinions of [Diamond Club] And [Paradise] Collided was the question of whether to capture ‘Lee Hyeon-woo’ or not. [Paradise] Was in the position that even if Lee Hyun-woo was caught, there was no evidence that he was legally connected to Park Seong-jin, so he should not be captured this time, and [Diamond Club] Was of the opinion that Lee Hyun-woo should be killed right now to get rid of the aftereffect.
As a result of the sharp confrontation between the two opinions, the opinion of the [Diamond Club] Was accepted, and now the car was running with hunters full of murderous intent against Lee Hyun-woo, gnashing their teeth.
The old man sitting in the front passenger seat smoked a cigarette and said.
“Let’s get this done quickly and go. You never know when the gate will open in Chungcheong Province.”
