Chapter 140: The Dark Knight Clan

Chapter 140: The Dark Knight Clan

That morning, he got a call from his co-workers and they told him that they all got a hangover. Although his co-workers were in the hospital, that wasn’t part of the big problem. There was something he heard about a level 6 hunter. Just thinking about it brought an indescribable fear to him.

Luckily, he could calm himself down and relax a little to be able to think straight once again. He was only hoping that he and his team could avoid him and be safe. But, there was another problem. When he called the boss and told him about the situation, he was acting a little strange and secretive.

—I have some important business to attend to so I have to go overseas. I’ll be back soon.

—What business?

It had to be the reason for his sudden departure. Maybe he wanted to go play golf or go to the casino. His secret could have had something to do with the call he had with an agent on the phone.

His face turned pale and he immediately rushed to the airport as if he was chasing after someone. However, he had a hunch that it was all because he heard the news of the level 6 hunter being around.

Everyone knew how dangerous a level 6 hunter was and did not want to stick around to see what could happen if they crossed paths with one.

‘If I could find him and catch him myself then this will be over.’ He thought to himself. Would that even be possible? It’s clearly wouldn’t be something so simple.

“Whew...”

He left the office after packing everything he needed into his bag. He took the boss’s plane and got going, he only had the skills of a third ranked-hunter and although he ran into some issues while getting his license, he was dedicated to improving his strength.

He got onto the elevator to go down to the first floor but it went up instead.

“Huh? Why is it going up?!”

Within a matter of seconds, he started to sweat uncontrollably. He soon gave up on the elevator and took the emergency exit instead. He ran all the way to the first floor until he saw the door that would leave him outside of the building.

He was still extremely anxious as he ran down the stairs. Suddenly, he stopped running with an unpleasantly surprised look on his face. Just two rows ahead of him was a guy in a black suit standing there, glaring at him menacingly.

This should have been enough to make him freeze but he still went on towards the exit. The guy in the suit already knew he was up to something that he wouldn’t be too happy to hear about.

“What the hell are you doing?!”

The boss in the suit shouted as he watched him run out of the building. It wasn’t like him being weak, he was just plainly strong. The boss was just hoping that he wasn’t planning on doing something too crazy.

If he was actually serious about trying to catch that hunter, he would need to risk his life to do so and it’s quite possible that he won’t be able to make it back. The boss then went back to his office and he could still see him through the window as he made his escape.

However, he soon gave up after a few attempts. The worst thing was that he had to go back to the office of his boss.

“What are you thinking! Are you trying to risk all of our reputations?!” The boss shouted along with the others in the office that was just as angry as him. They all had their arms crossed together with a smile however, their smiles had soon disappeared. They suddenly heard a loud noise and everyone looked around, wondering what was going on.

“Sorry but it’s not safe here, we have to go now,” Songdu warned them and everyone then rushed onto the elevator.

“Ugh! There are too many people on here at once! Only seven people could go first.”

“You can wait. You were already on your way to the airport but you gave up.”

“True. You can handle yourself, the rest of us need to escape as soon as possible.”

“Me? Aren’t I the one in charge of this building?”

“Whatever, the first to catch him will be the one to follow.”

“Fine! I guess I’ll just be the first one to catch him!” Songdu replied.

“Are you sure about that?”

One of the few people inside said right before he started pulling him to get him off the elevator. The others joined in on it too. He tried to ignore it but soon, it felt as if he was literally being torn apart.

“Arrgh!”

“Hey! He’s being torn apart! Pull him with his skin!”

“Let go, everyone. That’s enough!”

“Why should we? Give up! Just trust me with this next time.”

“But boss, I need some money too.”

“Arghhh!” Songdu shouted in pain and then felt as if he was about to lose his consciousness. He then prayed, he prayed to quickly black himself out.

Deukdeukdeuk

There was a strange noise outside the window and it was a helicopter passing by towards its destination. 30 minutes later, it arrived in Seoul just as Jaehwang had planned.

—Wow, we’re flying in the sky!

The spirit said in awe.

—It’s so fast!

The spirit continued to look out the window, being fascinated by everything.

—Is this as high as it can go? Higher! Higher!

The airplane was already flying very high. If they went up even higher they could possibly reach the end of the skies.

The special team that was sent to him was also there on the helicopter. All of them spent time to get to know each other a little before they got onto the helicopter and proceeded with Jaehwang’s plan.

What the vice president said was right, there were a lot of monsters to catch.

Jaehwang then closed his eyes to take a short rest until he heard an alert from the speakers of the helicopter.

—A warning has been issued at the third gate... an incident has happened...

The emergency warning ended and the pilot looked over towards Jaehwang and said, “It’s a gate warning. We should return back towards the west.”

Gate warnings were very serious. It was very dangerous to continue on the way towards the gate after hearing that kind of warning.

“Could we contact the raid control tower in Sejonsi?” Jaehwang asked the pilot and he shook his and head replied,

“Sure, the raid control tower center frequency is always in good shape.”

“Alright, let’s go that way so we can contact them,” Jaehwang said and the pilot then directed the helicopter towards their new destination.

“You’re going to call for backup on the raid?”

“Yeah...” Jaehwang replied and then moved out of the helicopter’s passenger seat. Soon, they heard a beeping sound and were able to contact the Sejongsi raid control tower.

—Hello this is the Sejongsi raid control tower.

—Today at 14:00 there was an incident that happened at the third gate and a contact request was made. Contact request information number xxxxxx Jeon Jaehwang.

They said the number on his hunter license card to confirm his identity.

—It’s a participation request. Thank you for your bravery, sir. We are checking the information. Today at 14:00 there was an incident that took place near the third gate. Participation request number xxxxxx by Jeon Jaehwang. Is that correct?

—Yes, that is correct.

—We will contact you after identification is complete.

Although he was a powerful hunter, he still couldn’t go on raids without any monitoring or approval. Whoever came by would have to get approval before going into a danger zone like that one.

Obviously, he had a bit of independence due to the fact they were even considering of approving him.

Jaehwang’s approval request was currently being inspected. The pilot was the closest to the control tab so he was able to immediately fly the helicopter back to the gate.

However, the radio came on later and said that the approval request had been denied.

—Hunter number xxxxxx Jeon Jaehwang approval request has been denied.

The overbearing voice of the radio said.

—Is there a reason why it was disapproved?

Jaehwang asked in reply to him getting denied. He didn’t want to brag or anything but he thought for sure that he would have been approved since he was a level 6 hunter. There had to be a reason for that.

—I am Jeong YeongJoon, The Dark Knight’s clan master. We have enough support already but thank you for your request anyway.

He said before he immediately ended the call. Jaehwang then turned on the communication radio.

The Dark Knight clan... That was actually a clan that he knew very well. They were ranked as the second best clan in Korea. Jeong YeongJoon was a level 7 ranked hunter. He was just as powerful as GwanJae who was also level 7.

They weren’t even on good terms. What would be the outcome if the two of them went up against each other...

After thinking for some time Jaehwang asked the pilot, “We’re going back, right?”

“Yes.” The pilot said in reply to Jaehwang’s question. They could see a bright glowing light in Sejongsi from the distance.

Although his approval was rejected, it didn’t seem like a bad idea to go there anyway. If the Dark Knight clan was there, then they could just stop him. For a while, he was just in his head buried within his thoughts until the spirit spoke to him.

—There’s a monster.

She said and Jaehwang immediately looked down and became worried. He could see dozens of gigantic monsters that had two long horns on their heads. They were just like dinosaurs and they even had some scales on their backs.

“It’s a daku with horns”

Jaehwang’s facial expression slightly stiffened. Dakus with horns were considered as a fourth tier monster. They were definitely not an easy type of monster to deal with, not only were they giant but they also could jump well and run really fast.

Jaehwang watched and observed them from the helicopter window. The monster was running and then smashed a car that was on the ground. Luckily there didn’t seem to be any people inside it.

“Unbelievable...”

The car was completely shattered. Looks like someone was trying to hunt the monsters but they ended up escaping and exchanging their car for a better spot.

“Let’s go over there...” Jaehwang said, pointing towards a location on the ground. He could see where the people were taking shelter and he went towards it.

“Open the door please!” Jaehwang shouted.

The Dark Knight Clan, The end.
