the Crack Management Division of Seoul City Hall
"I want to terminate the contract."
It was three Class A hunters who made the quiet office so rigid.
Standing next to each other politely in front of Dojun, they are Han Dong-hyun, Yu Mi-ra, and Yoo Jeong-ho.
Kang Chul-soo rose from his seat and came this way, surprised by the sudden declaration that the guild, one of the main forces of the crack management, wanted to terminate the contract.
"Oh, no, Mr. Han Dong-hyun. Why are you suddenly...…."
After Dojun was discharged from the hospital.
Hunter's side has declared the termination of the contract as 'first'.
It was only before that that there were a lot of unilateral notice of the termination of the contract.
Hunters have maintained a good relationship with the crack management department without a single complaint in recent years.
Furthermore, in the case of the Mezai guild, he was particularly good at following Dojun. They even promised to go to the city hall and the end at the get-together two months ago.
"Did we make any mistakes? If so, I'll fix it right away!"
steel water desperately hanging on
Class F, or, frankly, I didn't do this up to grade C.
But A-list Hunter. Not one but three. It was self-evident that if they went out, they would be hit hard by the crack management department. Kang Chul-soo looked as if he would hold onto the hunters' pant legs.
Han bit his lips and turned his head slightly to avoid looking at him.
"There's only one more reason. Because I thought it was a waste of time."
"Shi, waste time?"
"We are Class A hunters. On the other hand, Seoul City Hall pays 300 million won a year. Three people would be 900 million. That amount of money can be obtained with just one crack. However, I don't think there's any reason to be tied up for a year just to earn 900 million won."
"......he, that's."
A fastball that hits a bone.
Every word is correct.
"And in fact, we didn't sign the contract voluntarily. That was Director Chung Young-chul's instructions. But I'm done with that's it. I think we've done everything we can since we've filled a year."
Kwon couldn't say anything.
Just a bitter smile. Yeah. Normally this was normal.
It's not to blame Magei.
'I'm sorry.'
It's short if it's short.
Many things have happened over the past year.
I felt the same bond with my family because I added a little exaggeration.
Therefore, Han Dong-hyun's mind was confused as he watched Kang Chul-soo and Kwon Hyuk-soo with shadows on their faces.
'I'm sorry, sir. Officer Kwon Hyuk-soo.'
And
'Executive officer Do Jun.'
Unlike the other two, Dojun showed little response.
However, he just stared at Han Dong-hyun's eyes calmly.
Then he took out a "hunter's work register" from the drawer.
The work log of Hunters' commute to work and leave work and vacation.
"You went on vacation to China last month, didn't you? 베이징에 있는 우다오커우()."
Wu Daoqer Wu was a busy street where Koreatown was formed.
Beijing, Tsinghua and Renmin universities were nearby, so there were many students studying abroad.
A place that gives off the same feeling as Itaewon in Korea. Although Dojun has never been there, Mezai Guild reported to Dojun that he was going on vacation and looked for some place.
"......maybe."
Dojun, who was looking at his vacation history.
Slowly, he said, browsing through Yoo Mi-ra and Yoo Jung-ho, including Han Dong-hyun.
"What happened there?"
Three eyes shook at the moment.
Dojun did not miss the moment.
"......nothing happened. I enjoyed my vacation."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"I'll help you terminate the contract."
Kang Chul-soo flinched at Do-jun's words.
"Hey, hey, Dojun!"
Kwon Hyuk-soo put his hand on Kang Chul-soo's shoulder.
No matter how much they beg here, their position will not change.
Apparently, Kwon seemed to say so.
"This is the contract termination form."
Dojun stuck out a form.
"Fill it out and come tomorrow morning."
A quiet cafe in Seongbuk-dong, Seoul.
"I'm sorry. I should have done what you guys said."
"It's not your fault. They're just bossing around in the first place! My stomach got irritated when I saw the 1,000 giraffes."
Han Dong-hyun, who buried his face in his clenched hands, gave no answer.
While watching from the side, Yoo Jung-ho patted Han Dong-hyun on the back. For some reason, he is our guild leader. Guild members respect and follow the guild leader's choice. Seven years. We've been together for a long, short time.
"You're fine. You're not going to die. You can think of it as having experience and playing in China for five years."
"... ...I'm sorry."
Last month.
The Mezai guild, which had been on vacation for Udaokou, unfortunately touched China's best guild, the Black Dragon Family.
A grade-A large crack found inside Udaokou while traveling.
The trouble was that he knocked down the boss monster, Chun Myung-giraffe, and got three "Thousand Giraffes" and took them one by one.
"I'm sure I checked."
Han Dong-hyun gritted his teeth.
China, like South Korea, managed the cracks at the Hunter Bureau.
Although the law stipulates that cracks can be used by anyone, and that artifacts obtained there belong to the parties, the Black Dragon family was suprincipled.
When you go to China, you should never touch the cracks that you preoccupy in the Black Dragon Street.
It was so famous among hunters.
Known to be above the country's Hunter Bureau, the Black Dragon family used force to hunt for its own cracks. The crack that we hunted together yesterday with a laugh could have been a "control zone" today.
"There was no guild member of the Black Dragon family, obviously."
"......none. But the message that the Chunmyeongs were dropped went to the Chinese hunters in the crack."
Fortunately, the Mezai Guild got three of them, which is said to be a drop in the extreme probability of catching a thousand giraffes.
"......it's tomorrow, right?"
"Yes."
The day of entry from the Black Dragon Family.
The situation was worse than I thought.
Yang Cheok-ki, a senior member of the Black Dragon family, will come to the negotiating table.
The shepherd was the fifth-largest ranker hunter in China, a man of immense influence.
'300 billion.'
One hundred billion won per thousand giraffe.
Either the Black Dragon is prepared for 300 billion.
Or he suggested that he join the Black Dragon Song and work for China for five years.
Yu Mi-ra said that she can travel and experience, but things will probably not be so easy if she goes to Heukryongga.
'You'll be completely like a dog.'
On the day of the S-class anti-crack operation, chances were high that it would be used as a meat shield. Yu Mi-ra and Yoo Jung-ho were also aware of the fact. However, they do not say it out loud on purpose.
"Hey, why don't you ask Hunter Administration for help?"
"Retired. Have you forgotten? Hunter Administration does not intervene in the dispute with Hunter from another country."
"......I know. I know."
The Hunter Administration Bureau of each country represents the country.
Intervention was strictly prohibited because the moment the management bureau intervened, it was quite troublesome, and if it did something wrong, it could lead to war between countries.
"The situation is worse than I thought. Are you really going to be sold to China like this?"
"Oh, so!"
Han Dong-hyun shouted.
"Get out of here, you two. I'll take care of it somehow."
Han Dong-hyun bit his lips tightly.
Tears welled up in the boy's eyes.
Yoo Jung-ho gave a false laugh out loud.
"I'm going to die if you die."
"You bastard!"
"Stop both of you!"
Han Dong-hyun let go of Yoo Dong-hyun's collar.
And I left the cafe after I got up.
Yoo Jung-ho, who flopped down in his seat, breathed a long sigh.
***
The next morning.
The Mezai guild came to Seoul City Hall as Dojun said.
Mezai guild members sitting side by side in a glass-capped conference room.
"Have you made it up?"
"......yeah."
Han Dong-hyun politely handed over the angular bag with both hands.
Class A Hunter's attitude toward a civil servant was too polite.
In fact, Han Dong-hyun himself couldn't understand. It's just that the S-level hunters, including Director Chung Young-chul, were overwhelmed by Do-joon. At one point it was taken for granted by contract hunters.
"Han Dong-hyun, Hunter."
"...Yes, sir."
"I think we've been working together for quite a long time. It's the same for Yoo Mi-ra and Yoo Jung-ho."
"......."
"You certainly meant what you said at the last get-together that you would go to the end with our city hall."
No wonder I was so grateful for that.
Han Dong-hyun felt something coming up from his heart.
But even more so.
We cannot attract Seoul City Hall.
"Mr. Hunter, my job is to 'crack and Hunter management, etc.""
Why are you suddenly talking about work?….
"So if the contracted hunters are in trouble, I have a duty to listen and improve."
"......."
"Last question. Did anything really happen in China?"
There was a silence.
Sweat dripped from Han Dong-hyun's tightly held fist.
Dojun's eyes were on Han Dong-hyun in a straight line.
Dojun's eyes, which are calm and subdued, are.
It was as if he was saying he knew the whole situation.
The Hunter Administration has decided to make the contact.
The reason why the shepherd visited Korea was because of the Mezai guild.
The most important thing was in Hunter's office.
"......why are you here?"
a small meeting room
a shepherd showing his blatant hostility
Han Dong-hyun tried to say something, but was stopped by Do-jun.
"I'm also involved."
"This is a matter between the Black Dragon and Mezai."
What about the shepherd who lost in the secret dance with Dojun in the basement of the Hunter Management Bureau in the past?
After that day, through endless training and levelling, it had eventually soared from eighth to fifth in the rankings in China. If he meets Do-jun someday, he would negotiate with him.
"I'm in charge of the Hunters."
"The person in charge?"
"They are hunters contracted to our city hall."
At that moment, the shepherd laughed for no reason.
"Hey, you'd better get out. I came out on behalf of the Black Dragon, not the shepherd 'individual'. I think I've heard the story, but don't you know this isn't the scale for Seoul City Hall to get involved?"
The shepherd deliberately gave his strength to the Black Dragon.
Heukryongga is the largest guild in China with seven rankers.
"In China, 'the cracks are available to anyone, and the artifacts obtained there belong to the parties." Our Hunters have taken down the Thousand Giraffes on their own. There won't be a problem."
a dangerous remark
Han Dong-hyun jerked back at Dojun.
This is because it was dangerous to stimulate a shepherd.
Yoo Jung-ho and Yoo Mi-ra also looked anxious.
"......kick."
The shepherd is dead.
"Korean officials are really stuck in the front and back. Look. Reality doesn't go as far back as you think it goes."
Dojun said.
"You won't abide by the law?"
"The word of the Black Dragon is the law of China."
"Hmm."
Do-jun smiled.
"Can you handle that, sir?"
