Chapter 421: I Will Show You Who’s Boss (3)
Most thugs and hooligans tended to be careful against Hunters, but not these thugs. Their boss was a Master-Rank Hunter, which was the highest possible social status a person could obtain in the countryat least according to their logic, and they were able to get away with most things just by mentioning their boss name.
This was the reason they were not afraid of Hunters even though they were just one of the henchmen at the bottom of the organization structure.
Unfortunately, their confidence caused them to make an irreversible mistake.
Hey, you crazy bastard!
The thug balled his free hand into a fist and punched Han-Yeols face with it.
Bam!
O-Oh no!
A-Are they crazy?!
Whats going to happen to them now?
A few of the monks passing by started to chant, Amithaba Bodhisattva
Oh my god
Lord have mercy
A few of the churchgoers prayed for them too.
Not only the religious folks but even the non-religious people earnestly prayed for the safety of the thugs who dared to punch the Transcendent Master-Rank Hunter, Lee Han-Yeol, in the face.
Of course, the thugs punch failed to move Han-Yeols face even by 0.001 centimeters, and it was only then that the thugs finally realized they were up against a Hunter.
What the hell? Hes a Hunter?
That explains why hes so brave. Keke! Ptooey!
Hey, Mr. Hunter, you dont seem to know who we are. We are the subordinates of the great
They were about to mention that their boss was a Master-Rank Hunter, but they were unable to do so, as Han-Yeol interrupted them.
Bam! Bam!
Ack!
Kuheok!
Han-Yeol grabbed the thug and tossed him. The thug flew and crashed into a nearby wall while another one was flung hundreds of meters back by Psychokinesis.
A-Aaah!
The four remaining thugs hurriedly ran away the moment they noticed things were not going according to plan, but there was no way a bunch of ordinary people could run away from a Hunter.
Woooong!
Ughh!
Kuheeok!
Aaah!
Waaah!
All four of them were lifted off the ground by Psychokinesis. They flailed their arms and legs wildly while gasping for air, and they were unable to utter a single word due to some invisible power choking them.
T-Thank you!
The old woman thanked the Hunter who helped her, but she immediately froze the moment she saw his face.
Han-Yeols eyes were void of any emotions to the point that he looked terrifying.
A deafening silence ensued between them, and it was only broken after the old woman mustered the courage to say something.
A-Are you?
Han-Yeol, however, promptly interrupted her.
Is this why?
Did you leave me and Father to live a life like this, Mom?
However, he was utterly confused and conflicted now that his mother was sitting on the ground and sobbing at his feet.
You shouldve just lived happily so I could curse you for the rest of my life! I wouldnt feel bad if you were happy!
He could not freely hate her for abandoning him if she was living in such conditions.
Neither said anything else after that as things felt really awkward between them.
Whether it was fortunate or unfortunate, the awkward atmosphere between the mother and son was interrupted by the thug Han-Yeol had flung to the wall earlier. He suddenly pulled out a gun, aimed it at Han-Yeol, and pulled the trigger.
Unfortunately for the thug, Han-Yeol was already aware of his presence and what he was about to do, and the only reason he did not bother reacting to the thug was that a bullet could not hurt him in any way.
However, a sudden twist of events caught Han-Yeol completely off-guard.
His mother suddenly jumped and tried to shield him from the gun.
Han-Yeol!
What are you doing?! Han-Yeol screamed out of frustration and caught the bullet just in time before it struck his mothers heart.
Kyah!
Thud!
She ended up crashing onto the floor after jumping so abruptly.
H-Huh? The thug was perplexed after seeing a human being catch a bullet with his bare hands. He was not interested in Hunters at all, and he had never seen what a Hunter was capable of, so he was shocked to see something that he would only otherwise see in movies.
Well, not that many Hunters could catch a flying bullet with one handno, it was rare for a Hunter to have to resort to catching a bullet as they could simply evade it or just get hit by it. The mana protecting their bodies would automatically shield them from any flying projectiles.
Anyway, the bullet that the thug fired acted as a wake-up call that allowed Han-Yeol to return to his senses.
Geez, how the hell am I supposed to react to this? A thug is carrying a gun in a country where guns are illegal, he actually thought a gun would work on me, and this stupid woman thought a Transcendent Master-Rank Hunter would get hurt by a bullet. I mean, which one is supposed to shock me more? Han-Yeol grumbled.
Han-Yeol placed the bullet he had caught with his hand on a table.
Stewart entered the restaurant and said, Please do not react anymore. Cleaning up after you will be a headache to deal with You have already caused enough trouble, Han-Yeol-nim.
Then, he turned toward the thug and exuded his bloodlust.
A-Ah! The thug started to tremble after feeling a sense of fear he had never felt before in his life.
Bam!
Kuheok!
Stewart launched an uppercut at the thug.
Thud!
The thug passed out right after the demons fist connected with his chin, and fifteen of his teeth popped out like popcorn as he flew back and crashed into the floor. He was now going to be forced to live with a set of implants from now on, which was going to cost a pretty penny.
Tsk. I did not expect this to happen in broad daylight in such a busy area. It seems you have a troublesome task ahead, Han-Yeol-nim, Stewart grumbled.
Haha! Who says Im going to do the reform myself? Im just here to clean things up, and Ill be passing command of the ship to someone else when Im done.
Han-Yeol had no plans to become the president. He greatly valued his freedom, so he was not a fan of these kinds of rigid positions that severely restricted his freedom.
His position as the Dimension Lord of the Bastro Dimension definitely granted him more freedom than becoming the president of South Korea, but there were moments when he felt suffocated and restricted as Dimension Lord too.
Hmm. Han-Yeol-nim Stewart called him after looking around.
Yeah?
I think I would like to have lunch here today.
Huh? Here?
Yes.
Hmm Han-Yeol pondered for a moment before he shrugged and agreed, Sure.
Fortunately, this place seemed to serve yukgaejang as well, so it was perfect for Stewart. Besides, the place that specialized in yukgaejang was probably sold out by now, as it was way past lunchtime.
Stewart extended both of his hands and channeled his mana.
[Clean.]
Wooong!
The magic spell he used instantly materialized.
