Chapter 343 A special hell for you (2)
“that’s right.”
Lee Ji-tae muttered with his eyes shining heavily.
“I don’t know how they did it, but it looks like the priest is trying to summon the stars. It’s not a light thing. And if it’s clear that the stars have intervened, you have to act.”
“Hmm.”
This was definitely something Lee Ji-tae would come to.
The fact that the stars could come again meant that the game could start again.
Hyunmoo wasn’t very good at it, he wasn’t even a winner of the game, but he was happy enough with his current state.
Difficulty: In Hell, Hyunmoo has already witnessed what kind of stellar beings are. They were monsters possessed by their own purposes and ideas.
They couldn’t have been like that in the first place.
It must have been a form of being reborn as a star and gnawing at itself to achieve its purpose.
Hyunmoo didn’t want to be like that. And he didn’t want the world to be judged by him like that.
Because I really liked the unfair and unreasonable world today.
‘Well, not yet.’
Hyunmoo said as he threw the papers on the table.
“Okay. Then ask Yumin for permission.”
“What?”
When Lee Ji-tae asked the question as if he was bewildered, Hyunmoo looked at Lee Ji-tae as if he was asking a natural question.
“Why? The leader of the Almighty Alliance is Yumin. I am a hunter belonging to the Almighty Alliance. If I want to hire a hunter affiliated with the Almighty League, I have to ask for permission from the leader, not me.”
“No, uh, but, the practicality of the Almighty…”
“Lee Ji-tae, Lee Ji-tae, Lee Ji-tae.”
Hyunmoo sighed and folded his arms.
“I know that I always go the easy way because I’ve gotten used to authority, but if there’s a procedure, follow the procedure. Don’t get me wrong, Master.
Actually, Hyunmoo was a word I was trying to put away because Lee Ji-tae, who kept asking me this and that, was annoying.
Because Lee Ji-tae is having a hard time with Seon-ji and Yu-min, he thought that if he had to report to Yu-min instead of himself, he would be contacted much less.
However, when Lee Ji-tae heard Hyunmoo’s words, he looked as if he realized something. He nodded his head and agreed with Hyunmoo’s words.
“You’re right. Kang Hyunmoo. I was being arrogant.”
Lee Ji-tae got up from his seat and headed to Yu-min’s room. And he had to explain the explanation he gave to Kang Hyunmoo again from start to finish.
Meanwhile, Hyunmoo thought about the priest. And he thought about the existence of a star that the priest might be summoning.
Even if the conquering star had already been here, it would be a great crisis.
Now Hyunmoo had difficulty: No Hell, No Hearthstone, No Rhenian.
However, if the coming opponent is a conquering star, it will be difficult to handle if the main body is not an agent or an apostle.
Suddenly, a question that Hyunmoo couldn’t even ask Yu-min before came to mind again.
Yu-min loved his father, but when he died, he took it for granted, even though he would be sad.
If so, what about Yoo-min and the present self?
Both Yumin and Hyunmoo have personally taken people’s lives. I don’t know, but at least Yu-min killed more people than his father.If so, does Yu-min think that it doesn’t matter if they are punished now?
***
A strong beat pounded the club.
Half of those who stumbled to the beat of a DJ in a black mask were drunk and half drunk.
Or drunk on both.
It was a strange scene even if the police arrived right away, but none of them were concerned.
This is because this was the territory of the ‘Demon King’ Kazat, a lawless area where it was difficult to exert any influence internationally.
Of course, officially the territory of the Demon King Kazat did not exist.
However, Kazat’s influence was not false, and humans and living spaces overlapped. Such gray areas have become refuges for criminals and outlaws.
The question of whether monsters and humans could coexist was paradoxically proven as an event in which Kazat annihilated the Russian Far East rebels.
That ‘Demon King’ Kazat is a communicative and diplomatic negotiator.
Of course, there was still no country that officially recognized the territory of Qazat.
Kazat is a cruel monster who doesn’t know how to act against a mass murderer.
However, those who enjoy adventure and want to escape the public eye used to visit these gray areas in secret.
“Hey, damn it! Don’t let it go!”
Of course, just because it’s a lawless zone doesn’t mean it isn’t without rules.
Continental law and international law do not normally apply, but there are also rules of their own.
A long hallway for the staff next to the dance hall.
Ha-hyeon looked at the man hanging in the air with a long teddy bear in his mouth.
The man struggled, but the bodyguard holding him didn’t even move.
The man’s pants dance down to his knees. It was the one I had just dragged from the women’s restroom.
“Who are you? You know who I am…”
Instead of arguing with words, Ha-hyeon poured the ashes of Gombangdae into the man’s panties.
Screams were buried in the cheers and music of the club.
Ha-hyeon looked through the man’s wallet and identification card, checking how he had come all the way here.
He was quite a family child, but he seemed to sneak in out of curiosity.
There were a lot of past. Judging from the fact that it was mainly a sex crime, he was an ordinary rich man.
After checking the record, Hahyun sighed.
“No matter how hungry you are, you’re not hungry enough to eat such a bastard. You do it yourself.”
Ha-hyeon glanced at the bodyguard without expression. The bodyguard grinned, revealing his fang-filled teeth.
The bodyguard dragged the man to the basement. The scream stopped as soon as the basement staircase door closed.
Ha-hyeon couldn’t understand those idiots from rich families. Even the military cannot access the territory of Qazat.
But do you believe that outside influences will work here?
‘Though it looks like it’s applied honey to criminals.’
Thanks to that, all kinds of black capital and secret goods were able to gather in this city.
Drugs and other items that could not be obtained in other countries were easily obtainable here.
In addition, the fact that Kazat’s territory was more secure than public perception also played a part.
As long as the rules are not violated, the monsters do not attack humans recklessly, rather, all the monsters are like a watcher who is in charge of security.
But they don’t care whether they’re on drugs, black trade, or organ trade, so it’s a paradise for criminals.
‘Well, that’s why I had to make a place like this… … .’
Ha-hyeon was one of the people who took advantage of such a situation the most.
In her house, although stolen, art pieces from all over the world were gathered.
In fact, there were cases where a forgery was hung in the museum and the real one was hung in her house.
“Hahyun.”
At that moment, Ha-hyun heard someone calling.
A goblin draped in gold and silver jewels all over his body… … It was Kirson.
“You look tired?”
“I’m tired… la. That seems to be the case. Running a club is not as enjoyable as I thought it would be.”
“Ah, well. It was Kazat’s opinion that we should set up a club here. You’ll get tired of it right away.”
What Ha Hyun originally wanted to create was an opera hall that doubles as an art gallery.
However, it was changed to a club because Kirsson insisted, ‘In that case, let’s create a luxurious club that can meet the needs of criminal children who come here and use the money’.
Recalling that time, Ha-hyun had no choice but to distort her face.
“He probably can’t even tell the difference between a psychedelic and a classical music. You think music is all chubby and the same, you damn bastard.”
“Miss Ha-hyun thought it was plausible and passed it on. If you scour the club, you can send it to the boss, and the kids can learn how to interact with humans.”
Kirson, Ha-hyeon, and Kazat have already found their own way to interact with humans in their respective fields.
Even Yerdan had been following Park Hwi-so for a long time, supporting him, so he was used to all kinds of exchanges, including threats and torture.
But other monsters were different.
They were usually only used to the relationship between predators and prey.
Those who can enter the city are educated to some extent, but they cannot predict what will happen if they encounter a real human.
“Yeah. In the long run, humans will have to take this as a natural thing…”
“Yes. That’s the way to create an eternal empire for the boss.”
All of this was a policy for Kang Hyunmoo’s individual rather than for the monsters.
To feel threatened by Kazat’s territory, while maintaining a negotiable, sweet and bloody relationship.
Whatever Kang Hyunmoo’s will, they were already laying the groundwork for personal loyalty to Kang Hyunmoo for hundreds of years.
“It sounds like you’re enjoying it quite a bit, though.”
Hahyun looked at Kirsson up and down and said.
From a pair of shoes to a watch to an earring, Kirsson was covered with luxury goods worth tens of millions of won. What’s more, it was an extravagant design made entirely of gold and precious stones.
“Isn’t it beautiful?”
“Like a jolbu.”
“Well, fashion is something you have to be satisfied with. As you know, my blood constellation index would be around 20% for conquering stars, 40% for broken stars, 30% for starving stars, and so on 10%. A starving star’s stake is not small.”
“…what is the ‘blood constellation index’?”
“It’s a sword that estimated how much the power of the stars went into forming my body. So, naturally, I have no choice but to be drawn to luxurious treasures or masterpieces, but this age is also full of abundance, so it’s natural…”
Then their eyes turned to one side. Black cracks began to sprout from the air in the direction of intense attraction.
It was the call of the ‘master’.Whatever he was doing, unless his life was at stake, he had to answer this call unconditionally.
Kirson and Ha-hyun stopped talking and jumped into the crack without hesitation.
***
Vision was quickly restored with mild vertigo. And soon, they both panicked.
Because the summoning place was the master room of the club they were in.
Under the window that took up the entire wall, a huge dance hall and people dancing were visible.
“It’s been a while. Kirson, Ha-hyun.”
And Kang Hyunmoo was right in front of them. Kirson immediately prostrated himself, but Ha-hyun lightly nodded his head instead.
“When did you come? If you had called, we would have gone any time….”
“If you call them, it’s hard to get back to you. It just catches your eye. It’s better for me to come.”
After the hearthstone disappeared, ‘summoning’ became possible, but since ‘reverse summoning’ became impossible, various inconveniences increased.
It’s easy to call, but when you go back, you have to go back on your own, so Ha-hyeon and Yer-dan, who can transform into humans, were a problem, but Kazat and Kirsson were the problem.
Then another crack opened and a boy appeared. It was Yerdan, a silver-haired boy in a neat suit and bloody white gloves.
“Why do you look like you were tortured by someone every time you see them?”
“Aren’t you tired of saying those words every time?”
Yerdan said bluntly.
“And these days, Mr. Hwi-so Park is staying in this city all the time while taking a break. But this corrupt city doesn’t give me any rest. All I can do here is mainly to eat and support.”
The meaning of Yerdan’s ‘Let’s cheer by eating’ was different from the original.
Yerdan’s role in this city seems to be a combination of Hannibal Lecter and Batman.
However, seeing that he was not drenched in blood while wearing his gloves, it seemed that Hwi So Park had taught him one meal etiquette.
Hyunmoo looked at Kirsson, Hahyun, and Yerdan. But lastly, Kazat was particularly late.
“What, you bastard. Why didn’t you come like this?”
Hyunmoo felt a sense of impatience, tension, and nervousness in Kazat.
Although Hyunmoo did not instill strong will in his family, he had rarely disobeyed his orders.
Hyunmoo, wondering if he was in danger, suddenly turned his gaze to the window overlooking the dance hall.
There, Hyunmoo stopped looking at one place.
“But this bastard.”
Hyunmoo sent a strong will towards Kazat. In an instant, a ripping noise echoed inside the club along with the sound of a whiplash.
The beat that shook the club suddenly stopped, causing a commotion in the dance hall.
People who were bewildered by the sudden stop of the music turned their gazes here and there.
Soon, the situation was rectified when someone started playing recorded music, but the clutter did not go away easily.
“Wei, great man.”
Hyunmoo looked at Kazat, who was lying on the floor, bowing his head, with a puzzled gaze.
Kazat was dressed in a funky style with a black mask.
It was difficult to find the appearance of the ‘Demon King’ who usually appeared in the media, no matter how frivolous he was.
It was the same with Hahyun who was embarrassed.
“What is it, Kazat. You bastard. You were a DJ?
