Chapter 112: The Plot  

—We’re done with our third attack. We have moved to zone D4.

—I’ll give you an update once we got closer to the base camp. We have moved to zone D11.

The Daehyeon clan went into a raid right after that incident and they gave each other updates through their headphones to avoid any mistakes.

A lot of people were injured and died due to the previous accident but the clan leader made sure that that won’t happen again despite the clan being unsure if they would be able to handle their current mission. With the disappearance of his fiancee and the appearance of an unidentified woman, Songjae hasn’t spoken about the situation at all over the past few days.

Besides, the media was now focused on other threats to the country and with the rampant cases of terrorist attacks, they lost the time to pay attention to anything else. The president has also been doing his best to keep the disaster rates in the country as low as possible.

[Is the Daehyeon clan a threat to the country?]

The Daehyeon clan didn’t say much about that issue and instead, they just shared a raid with the other clan. A lot of other groups has been deployed in the same area as they were.

“They have caught 21 monsters so far in this raid.”

“How much could they go for?”

“They should add up to 4 billion altogether.”

The deals for hunted monsters were always quite high.

“So everything combined is almost 180 billion out of 190 billion?”

“Yes.”

Everything was working out great and going according to plan.

“There’s not enough of them on the pickup truck. Minus the small monsters that needs to be hunted, we’ll need more to join us for the other monsters. We’re gonna ask some other soldiers from overseas to help us as well.”

“Sounds good. We just need to paddle when the waves get stronger. I already contacted the clan leader to set things up so we could get moving.”

“Alright.”

Three days have passed and they were able to accumulate a lot of profit. They hit the jackpot. The supporting team prepared a lot of documents for their reinforcements and their clan master turned a bit cold when they showed it to him.

“How much?”

“Argentina has been completing their raids at the end of every week so we would be able to slowly evacuate without a problem. We could also get some help from the Northwest of China since they were only contracted for a month. If we make a request now, it’s possible that we’ll have them by tomorrow.

“What is the present power like?” Songjae took a moment to think for a minute before he replied to the support team captain.

“11 or 9 at the moment. Two more will be used until our reserved soldiers arrive. ”

Three days have passed again and more soldiers joined the existing teams.

“Okay, I got it. Looks like it’s time for a review.”

“Got it, sir.”

Now that he had enough encouraged and praise, the support team leader placed the documents on his desk before he went out of his office.

Songjae’s assistant then asked him, “Why was he acting a bit strange towards you.”

“Who knows.”

Songjae wasn’t to make much progress on his plan about the Pyeongan project. They had a lot of soldiers at their disposal and they were promised with a large amount of money.

Especially because the Daehyeon group’s president left the job to him specifically, he was given a chance to take his first step into the loyal road.

The problem was that all of his schemes would have to be stopped and unfortunately, there’s still another problem that he had to consider.

“I don’t know if we can refuse it...” His assistant said.

He would soon run out of strength and they would need to find someone to replace him. Obviously, they had received a lot of suggestions now that the clan’s information about their final goal has been made known.

“They’ve gotten stronger after being in the Alousu and because of the foundation in China, they were able to destroy the monsters that came in their way. What do you think?”

“It’s left in the past.”

“I see. Maybe this could be better sorted out in the future. ” His assistant replied. Maybe in the future, their current president and the Japanese clan could team up together and share their strength.

The thought of the Japanese clan teaming up with them made him laugh but he also thought that it actually wasn’t that bad. It was because of all those documents and folders that all of his worries disappeared.

America.

Justin Point lost all connections with the USA and the main cause was the feud between their current president and the Japanese clans.

“Darn it. I have no idea how this will progress.” He wanted to fix up their secret laboratory. It was still a place shared with the father of the Samjeon church so he knew that he shouldn’t be worried.

However, those documents contained dangerous information inside of them.

“Last year, the country affiliated to America went on an expedition in the Alousu to reach Justin Point but they encountered a problem. The Japanese clan and the Samjeon church members launched a surprise attack and killed them all.”

He further explained the details of their current situation with those three clans and how it could directly affect them.

The important thing was that Songjae never made any instructions there. Although the hunter’s tracks had already been found, they still had other problems to handle.

“This is quite worrisome. Was this reported to the president of the clan?”

The evidence seemed to have just fallen into their hands. If they could team up with the American group and clean most of the mess that was made from the situation then things wouldn’t be as easy as they think it would.

“Sir?”

“What is it.”

“I think that we should grasp this great opportunity this time. We just have to think of a way to do it differently.”

“That’ll never work,” Songjae replied to his assistant. However, the assistant already knew that he would say something like that so he continued talking.

“Maybe you could try to hunt. Don’t you think that you might get that position if and after you succeed?”

“Hm...” Songjae replied, thinking about what his assistant had said. His assistant knew that he would be interested in having a chance to become president of their clan.

The Daehyeon group president. It was obviously an amazing title. The whole world would know his name. But how could he get that title? By participating in boring political arguments? Authority arguments? Moneylending? All of that was useless.

They weighed the scale for their plan and this time, it seems that it would take all of their money. They had a lot saved up but now, it’s now almost completely used up.

However, Songjae knew just how to use what he had left. He thought more about what his assistant said to him. Maybe his plan would work out just as he wants it to.

“We’ll have to stop the Pyeongan project eventually.”

“I know. The assigned area was given by someone close to them.”

“Well, the plan is great but I don’t know how we’ll go about it.”

“No, we’ll have time to perfect it,” Songjae assured his assistant.

“I hope so...”

Pong...

Just as Songjae was about to speak, they heard the sound of a giant explosion. He then quickly grabbed a bottle of pills and swallowed to take in a few tablets.

“This always happens at the most inconvenient times...” His assistant quickly got a cup of water and handed it to Songjae.

“Hurry, take the rest of them.”

“I’m going as fast as I can.”

After taking the pills, Songjae took a deep breath and leaned back in his chair.

He took them to make him stronger. Choosing the path of a hunter was more like a risk that he took. When the monster laboratory was being developed, he volunteered to test their new advanced technology so he could get stronger. He talked with his grandfather first who didn’t agree with it but, he decided to go through with it anyway.

The biggest problem was that it only had a 50 percent chance of success. It was supposed to transform him and develop his skills. Of course, there weren’t any overlaps when he started the procedure, but he had trouble with its side effects so he had to take some supplements to cope with the pain.

“...I should level up to rank 9... or maybe at least level 8...”

Songjae said with a fierce and sharp look in his eyes.

***

Movements were detected at the Daehyeon clan basecamp through their sensors. The radar was attached to the bus that they’ve boarded and it detected up to five kilometers.

“Ugh, I’m bored.”

They had a lot of sensors made for different types of monsters and their every attack would be based on the guidance of their navigation.

Four days had passed and they were almost finished with the monster hunt.

They’ve observed many monsters disappearing in the middle of the radar and there was a bump that made it look like that something was hiding underground. Just what they thought, they saw a monster appear out of the ground.

....

At that moment, they discovered something new about that type of monster.

“These monsters aren’t even resting at night.”

He stretched his arms and legs before he gave all of his attention to study what they found on the sensor. He was surprised, he wrote down what he learned and he went to their team leader.

“Leader!”

“What is it?” The team leader replied.

“I found something really interesting!”

“What?” The team leader asked, he then stood up and read what he had written down.

“Are you sure you didn’t make a mistake?”

“I’m one hundred percent sure.”

“So everything’s correct? This is really true?”

The Plot, The end.
