Chapter 222 - Talks...

"Pa, are you not going to Korea?" Chelsea asked. Taking of her shoes and placing them neatly then walk inside their mansion.

After coming back from school via the Dragon bus, the first thing she asked was if Silver would go to Korea.

Silver who was carrying two boars and about to go butcher them for the night's meal looked at the ten year old girl wierdly. "Why should I go there?"

"Didn't you know about the S Rank Dungeon appearing on Jeju Island?" Chelsea asked back as she followed Silver to the kitchen.

"Oh? That? I know. What about it?" Silver asked back.

"I heard that the expedition to clear it failed. There were so many casualties." Chelsea said.

"Yeah, I know, we were watching." Silver nonchalantly replied.

"Ehh?! Watching? When did you go?! Why didn't you take me." Chelsea asked in shock.

"You were sleeping soundly. I didn't want to wake you up so Blackie, Kamish, and I just left you sleeping." Silver replied putting the boars down at the butchering table.

"No fair! I also wanted to see the monsters! I saw in the report they looked like overgrown ants." Chelsea pounded Silver's back.

"You want to fight them?" Silver asked. "Nice. Continue, you're getting better at massaging."

Chelsea stopped then pouted, "Pa! Why would a ten year old little girl like me fight those monsters? Are you not afraid I might get hurt?!"

'Huh? So Dragons are not considered monsters then? After all, you love fighting them.' Ethan thought.

"Well. With your B Rank magical power and C Rank Physique, fighting thousands of overgrown ants really is pushing it a bit." Silver commented.

Chelsea's mouth twitched. "A bit? Pa, I will die if I did!"

Silver shook his head. "Not gonna happen. Blackie will annihilate them first before you get even scratched."

"Humph! Big Brother Blackie, can we go see the monsters later?" Chelsea looked at Blackie who now was on the far corner, carefully mixing the greens he calls Salad after taking Chelsea home.

Having a kitchen that could accomodate more than ten dragon's sizing hundreds of meters is a convenient place to cook!

Blackie looked at Chelsea, he sighed. "I can't. The veggies needs tending. Harvest is near. I can't leave them or insects might feast at them."

'What a weirdo.' Chelsea thought.

"Uncle Kamish, can we go there later?" Chelsea's last hope was Kamish. Putting on a cute expression she asked.

Kamish scoffed. "Why should this mighty me go and watch some overgrown ants?! I won't go. Better yet, go do your homework!"

Chelsea pouted, her eyes turning moist as tears started forming on the corner seemingly about to fall.

Turning to Silver, "Pa, can we go?" Her tone pleading.

Silver sighed, not wanting to make the little girl cry, "Alright, alright. We will go later."

"Yay! I love you, Pa." Chelsea cheered, hugging Silver's back then running off.

"I'll go do my homework now." She said.

'Yes yes. Spoil her to your heart's content.' Kamish commented.

...

In the end, Kamish was the one who took Chelsea to go and see the overgrown ants at Jeju Island.

No matter how he speaks, he doesn't really mean them.

Kamish is a tsun, after all.

Three years passed in a blink.

A muscular old man with greenish gray eyes and gray hair with whites presenting his old age wearing his three piece suit sat comfortably on a sofa as he finished his tea spoke, "According to the reports, Sung JinWoo is an E Rank Hunter bȧrėly making a living as a hunter while supporting his sister's schooling and his mother's hospital bills. Why would someone such as you be interested in a low ranking hunter?" Go Gunhee asked respectfully towards the handsome young looking man sitting on a sofa at the other side of the table.

Silver holding a beer chugged up. "Burp. Oh, excuse me. About that, nothing really, just wanted to meet him."

Go Gunhee frowned. "Can you tell me the reason why would you be interested in him? An E Rank Hunter bȧrėly making ends meet?"

"Really now, if I wanted to meet him, I didn't even need to trouble you, you know. I just want to see the brat. That's all." Silver nonchalantly replied.

Go Gunhee frowned deeper but couldn't refute. If Silver really wanted to do something, Go Gunhee knew that any of the S Rank Hunters or even National Level Hunters could do nothing to stop him.

With the National Level Hunter Thomas Andre respectfully standing behind Silver and not muttering a word proved as such.

Woo Jinchul, the Chief Inspector of the Korean Hunter Association was profusely sweating at the side, nervously looking at the handsome young man being treated respectfully by the Former Strongest S Rank Hunter of Korea with the National Level Hunter Thomas Andre acting as some sort of bodyguard. Thinking, 'Why am I here?'

"Is that really all? Can you tell me the real reason?" Go Gunhee asked.

Silver shrugged, "What more? Brigthest Fragment of Brilliant Light?"

Upon hearing Silver's words shocked Go Gunhee deeply. Clenching his fist, "H-how did you?"

"I know many things. The beginning, the end, the consequences, the sacrifices, and the result. Though, the result is something I don't REALLY like." Silver said emphasising the REALLY.

"J-just who are you?" Go Gunhee did not need ask what Silver was implying. He knows what Silver was talking about.

"No. What would Hunter Sung JinWoo has to do with all this?" Go Gunhee mumbled seemingly connecting the dots from Silver wanting to meet someone that he could just do without asking him or anyone else.

"Who knows? I just want to meet the brat and maybe help him a little?" Silver said.

Go Gunhee flinched, "By helping him you mean?"

"Does he not make ends meet? Maybe some financial help? Or... Waking his mother up?" Silver smiled.

Go Gunhee is no fool, he understood what Silver is implying, if Silver really went to do the trouble of doing 'financial' aid, it would be the most simple of things he could do. But waking Sung JinWoo's mother?

'Does he really have a way?' Go Gunhee thought.

"What do you want?" Go Gunhee asked. Knowing that the person in front of him isn't just someone powerful but something else, he could only grit his teeth.

"I want no more expeditions on Jeju Island." Silver nonchalantly replied.

"Are you going to clear it?" Go Gunhee asked.

Silver shook his head. "No, my daugther and someone will. But a year later."

Go Gunhee frowned and thinking.

Gulp.

Woo Jinchul gulped hard at Silver's words. After the third failed expedition to clear the S Rank Dungeon, the thoughts of clearing is something for the future. But now, here someone saying that only his daugther and someone else will go an clear it after a year? Is he right in the head?!

If Woo Jinchul was a person who did not know how to read the mood and someone hasty, he would have already went and ran his mouth, but he wasn't, he is rather someone who can adapt according to the situation.

"Sir, who are going along with the Young Miss?" Thomas Andre was curious!

Silver looked at Thomas, "Will you go?"

Thomas stared... "No." He didn't want to die yet after all!

Who knows what's hidden inside a S Rank Dungeon for the last three attempts to clear it end up failing?

"There's really no strong monster in there but their numbers is what's troubling. Although there's no S Rank monster inside that S Rank Dungeon, there are countless B, A and almost S Rank, the Royal Guards are, monsters there.

Thomas Andre wanted to try but, with thousands of overgrown ants... He'd rather not.

"Then wait and see." Silver said.

"Will you go, S-sir?" Woo Jinchul took his courage out and asked.

"Yeah." Silver replied.

Hearing Silver's reply, Thomas Andre thought that it's just a matter of time.

Woo Jinchul heaved a sigh of relief. Seems like Jeju Island will be freed a year later. He thought.

Go Gunhee though didn't think so. If Silver was going to go and clear the dungeon, will he need to wait for a year? No. He must be waiting for something else!

"I'll go record my daughter's brilliant moment, of course!" Silver crushed Thomas Andre and Woo Jinchul's thoughts.

"So, you aren't going to clear it yourself?" Thomas Andre asked.

"Nope. If I do it, I might just erase the whole Island and all. Killing thousands of ants one by one is troublesome after all" Silver nonchalantly replied.

"Then who?" Woo Jinchul asked.

"You?" Silver replied. His gaze sharp.

Woo Jinchul felt his spine chilled. 'I don't want to die.' He thought.

"Very well. I will not let any more expeditions towards Jeju Island. We have lost far too much after the previous expeditions. I just hope that after a year, Jeju Island be freed from the S Rank Dungeon and intact!" Go Gunhee finally spoke his thoughts out.

"Good!" Silver said.

"So... What's in it for me?" He asked.
