Chapter 233

“Don’t follow them!”

Even in the midst of a serious situation, the Chinese hunters rushed forward in a panic. They didn’t know what problems would arise if Chen Xiezhi, who had lost his memory, followed the overseas hunters. Given his S-grade rank, he wasn’t just a fighting force, but also an idol and a symbol for the Chinese hunters.

What if the overseas hunters had evil intentions and manipulated Chen Xiezhi to say false things in interviews?

-Chen Xiezhi is outraged by China’s human rights abuses... He fiercely criticized it!

-Shocking. Chen Xiezhi reveals how China’s hunters are mistreated.

-China’s Guanhuan Daily criticized it fiercely: Chen Xiezhi isn’t actually Chinese...

...No matter what happened, it was clear that many of the hunters under Chen Xiezhi would die.

“Let go of me, you bastards! What’s wrong with you?”

“Mr. Chen Xiezhi! You can’t do this! Come here!”

“Sob sob sob! You’re not letting a poor old man eat some meat!”

Chen Xiezhi started to tear up seeing how the Chinese hunters were trying to control him. Of course, it wasn’t all talk. Every time he swung his fists, the Chinese hunters coughed up blood and rolled around.

“Cough!”

“Ugh!”

“What are you guys doing? Are you just going to stand by and watch as I’m getting dragged away?”

“...”

“No...”

The Korean hunters and Icarus clan members looked embarrassed as Chen Xiezhi criticized them. They felt bad, even though they didn’t do anything wrong.

‘Did we do something wrong?’

‘In East Asian tradition, we’re supposed to treat the elderly with respect.’

A Chinese representative became angry and hurriedly gave an order.

“What? Stop! Reporters are coming this way soon! There are also foreign reporters. Are you going to let them see this mess?”

“B-But... How are we going to stop Chen Xiezhi now?”

“He’s an old man who’s lost his memories!”

“You don’t know what he’s capable of because you’re not a hunter! He’s an S-grade hunter, which means his raw strength is off the charts!”

“Shut up. Stand in front of him and stop him with your body!”

No matter how angry the person in charge was, nobody was able to do anything. Given how Chen Xiezhi was screaming and swinging his fists, none of the Chinese hunters dared to approach him. His fists, which had more than three or four high-level enhancements, were like heavy maces.

“Reporters are coming! Try to stop him!”

Headlines like ‘Chen Xiezhi is going on a rampage? The Chinese government doesn’t even give him a proper meal’ flashed through the head of the person in charge.

Someone finally stepped up. “M... Mr. Chen Xiezhi! You can eat! You can eat!”

Chen Xiezhi stopped destroying his surroundings and turned his head. “Really?”

“Yes! Go and eat to your heart’s content!”

One of the overseas hunters watching the scene asked in a dumbfounded manner, “These Chinese bastards are leaving him to Hunter Choi Yeonseung instead of handling him themselves?”

‘Shut up...’

The Chinese hunters gritted their teeth when they heard this. They were already pissed off, and the foreign hunters were just adding fuel to the fire.

“You should’ve done this sooner. I thought you were trying to starve this old man to death!”

“Yes! Yes!”

“Yes. Let’s go!”

Chen Xiezhi smiled and followed after Choi Yeonseung. The latter was contemplating the situation.

‘Can I take this person with me?’

If this guy ruined the atmosphere while he fed his nieces...

Chen Xiezhi seemed to notice Choi Yeonseung’s gaze and urgently said, “If you give me something to eat, you won’t even notice my presence! Please don’t abandon me!”

No matter how long Choi Yeonseung had wandered around the Abyss, he was basically a constellation from South Korea. He couldn’t abandon an old man who was just begging for some food.

“Pff... Ok, follow me.”

Jeong Wonuk marveled at the scene.

‘He’s embarrassed.’

Some righteous people sometimes found it embarrassing when other people praised their good deeds.

“Hunter Choi Yeonseung. You don’t have to be embarrassed when doing something good.”

“...?”

“It’s a great thing to serve a meal to everyone present, so take some pride in it.”

“...Why are you spouting nonsense when you’re having such an expensive meal? Do you want me to kick you out?”

“N-No... That’s not what I...”

“Shut up and eat.”

At Choi Yeonseung’s cold reaction, Amelia became sullen and sat down again. After taking a few bites, she suddenly remembered something. “Ah. I have something to say.”

“Alright, speak,” said Choi Yeonseung while staring at the door leading outside. He was going to kick her out if she said the wrong things.

Amelia was taken aback by his reaction. No one, not even fellow A-grade hunters, had ever looked down on her, an A-grade hunter who had come from the British royal family.

“...I wanted to convey my master’s message.”

“Ah, is that so? Speak.” Choi Yeonseung quickly changed his attitude.

Amelia became a bit sad, as she didn’t think that what she said earlier was such a bad thing...

“He said it’s likely that the missing hunters have been taken to the realm of the Demon of Contract and Order.”

“!”

Choi Yeonseung was surprised.

“How does he know this?”

“There are some household members among the hunters who were taken. Through them, we found out where the hunters were taken.”

“...Ah.”

Choi Yeonseung picked up on it. Come to think of it, he would also be able to find out where they were taken through Huang Guangao.

-As a constellation, you should have more awareness...

-Goddess, you didn’t even tell me about this. Why are you only now saying this?

-I didn’t think I would have to specifically tell you this.

“I see. Thank you for letting me know.”

“The moment the monster wave ends, a rescue party will probably be organized. We can’t just abandon them.”

It had caused great chaos and resulted in many victims, but the monster wave in China was finally coming to an end. Everything would return to normal. Of course, the Chinese government would take some small measures, but that wasn’t any of Choi Yeonseung’s business...

-Wait, a rescue squad? Don’t tell me they’re going there by themselves.

Choi Yeonseung couldn’t believe it. Only a madman would enter the Abyss and infiltrate the realm of a constellation.

-Humans wouldn’t do something so reckless.

-Then?

-Maybe they will negotiate with the Demon of Contract and Order? There could be a constellation battle.

-Ah... That’s a possibility.

The Demon of Contract and Order would also be more interested in gaining something as opposed to just keeping the hunters there.

“Hunter Choi Yeonseung! I have good news.”

“Ah, what is it? Has the Chinese government taken responsibility for this and handed over all the loot?”

“They’ll do that when hell freezes over. The news is that the monster wave in Japan is almost over as well. There is only one monster left and it's completely surrounded right now.”

“...!” Choi Yeonseung was shocked. “But I heard that there were several A-grade monsters in Japan...”

In China, one S-grade monster had run wild. Meanwhile, in Japan, there had been strong rumors that several A-grade monsters had appeared. In a way, the situation in Japan was trickier to deal with. Thus, the overseas hunters were reluctant to go there, and yet the Japanese hunters had somehow managed to kill them? Had they used a nuke?

“The rumors must have been exaggerated. There were three of them, and the hunters split them apart and defeated them individually.”

“That makes sense, but it’s still kind of strange. The rumors were way off.”

“They are almost never correct.”

“Indeed, that’s true. There’s no way they’d say they killed the monsters when they didn’t.”

“Hahaha. No way.”
