Chapter 193 – Calling Heroes (1)
Lucas briefly asked Seo-joon for permission and then checked Colin’s condition.
Colin was lying on the floor, covered in blood.
From the outside, I wondered if that was a human or blood clot.
We couldn’t figure it out.
‘Did he make it like this in that fleeting moment?’
Lucas couldn’t believe it.
If Colin was a rumored hunter, he wouldn’t even mention it.
No, let alone talking about it, even if he was an S-class hunter, he didn’t say anything.
But Colin was a cataclysmic hero.
He is called the Spear Master and is the pinnacle that humans can reach.
Such Colin in an instant…
Lucas moved closer to the blood… no, Colin.
Fortunately, I could feel that Colin was breathing lightly.
At this, Lucas let out a sigh of relief.
Because if Colin was dead, it would be very difficult.
A cataclysmic hero representing America was killed by a foreign hunter.
This could go beyond a personal level and turn into a national issue.
Of course Colin was right in the first place.
But there was such a thing as American face.
The US Pro Hunter Administration had to hold Seo-joon accountable in some way.
It was no different from turning Seo-jun into an enemy.
‘······ Just thinking about it is terrifying.’
Lucas shook his head, as if he didn’t even want to think about it.
Anyway, fortunately Colin didn’t die.
Lucas felt infinite gratitude for Colin’s tenacity.
‘for a moment.’
Suddenly, a thought ran through Lucas’s mind.
None other than Colin’s condition.
‘Perhaps on purpose…?’
If you think about it, it was.
The power Seo-joon showed just now was overwhelming.
If Seo-jun wanted to kill Colin, he could have killed him at any time.
Even so, the fact that Colin didn’t die and became a semi-solid state…
‘Did you calculate this situation from the beginning?’
Lucas looked back at Seo-joon.
In many ways…
It was a scary hunter.
A professional hunter who defeated Beserk.
The truth of the rumor was now known without questioning.
Of course, it was unknown whether what Seojun defeated was the real Beserk.
However, it was now certain that he was a professional hunter who could defeat Beserk.
Lucas as polite as possible.
And he opened his mouth to grant all requests.
“How much do we have to give to show our sincerity?”
“Originally, preemption is the rule, but…”
Seo-joon smiled awkwardly.
Then he quietly spread out all five fingers.
Lucas nodded.
“Would you mind if it was $500 million?”
500 million dollars was about 500 billion in Korean currency.
Of course, it was too much to think of as the price of life.
However, considering that his life was a cataclysmic hero, it was never too much.
however.
“Hmm…”
For some reason, Seojun’s impression didn’t look very good.
And Lucas didn’t know what that meant.
Lucas opened his mouth again as if it was a mistake.
“I misunderstood $5 billion.”
5 billion dollars is about 5 trillion in Korean currency.
It was an insane level to think of the price of life.
However, considering that life is a hero of a cataclysm…
Lucas saved his thoughts.
Still, it wasn’t enough money to give.
Although Article 5 was not the name of the dog,
Seojun was a professional hunter who surpassed the cataclysmic hero.
A hunter who can also defeat Beserk.
I had to pay about 5 trillion won to be able to express it as ‘sincere’.
Above all, considering that Seojun had shown mercy, he had to adjust to this extent.
however···.
Why?
“Huh…”
For some reason, Seo-jun’s impression has become stern!
For a moment, Lucas wondered if he was mistaken.
But no matter how you look at it, Seo-jun’s expression was stern!
“·······”
“·······”
“·······”
The people gathered at the airport also looked dazed, as if at a loss for words.
The only thing that could be heard from the street was the sound of reporters’ shutters.
A strange silence fell over the entire airport.
It seems that only the members of the Dream Team knew this would happen.
He was just shaking his head.
Lucas thought for a moment.
50 billion dollars.
In Hanwha, it was as much as 50 trillion won.
This was an unthinkable level of life.
But considering that life is a cataclysmic hero…
It was crazy though!
Lucas couldn’t answer easily this time.
I confess very honestly.
Should I just kill Colin?
I thought for a moment.
Even if Lucas was the deputy director of the Management Bureau, there were certain limits.
And $50 billion has crossed the line!
Lucas opened his mouth very slowly.
“5, 5… 50 billion… dollars… you mean?”
Lucas felt dizzy as he uttered the words.
And for real.
Seriously, if Seojun distorts his impression here, what should I really do then? I wanted to
“great! Ha ha ha!”
Fortunately, however, Seo-joon smiled kindly and folded his fingers.
A good laugh?
Lucas shuddered and shook his head.
Anyway, let’s clear things up.
Seo-joon said that he would forgive Colin for 50 billion dollars.
Lucas quickly tapped the calculator in his head.
It was possible enough to bring 50 trillion to the budget of the Pro Hunter Management Bureau.
The United States, which is called a world-class hunter powerhouse.
It wasn’t easy, but it wasn’t impossible.
But if you ask if it’s worth paying 50 trillion for Colin’s life… Well.
‘no.’
Lucas shook his head.
It wasn’t about buying Colin’s life with 50 trillion.
‘Courtesy of Hunter Kim Seo-joon.’
It was none other than to buy Seo-jun’s favor.
Italy, UK.
The two countries were on the verge of extinction due to unmanageable disasters.
And the one who saved it was Seo-jun in front of him.
Inmaek is soon one power.
Just putting the favor of such a Hunter could be a great power.
Those who invest only in immediate value are foolish.
Those who invest only for profit are foolish.
Does a person have value beyond that?
Lucas, deputy director of the U.S. Pro Hunter Administration.
Lucas looked at the situation from a long-term perspective rather than an immediate situation.
Of course, the first button was sewn wrong because of Colin.
But did you say that crisis is an opportunity?
The situation could have been different if he willingly gave 50 trillion here.
Besides, he was able to use this as an excuse to treat Colin like a slave.
That is, until the 50 trillion is paid off.
Courtesy of the world’s strongest Hunter.
Even the right to enslave Cataclysm heroes as a sister item.
If all of this was 50 trillion won, it might have been cheaper than I thought.
“Thank you for your mercy.”
Oh, maybe.
#
The whole of America was blown upside down.
Newspapers, TV and other media outlets all reported what happened at the airport.
《Spear Master, Colin. An Asian dragon gets catnip!”
《Is it collapsed pride or the birth of the strongest hunter in history.》
.
.
Related articles poured in after rain.
But people didn’t believe it.
And of course, there was no one in America who didn’t know Colin’s name.
Who is Colin?
He was a cataclysmic hero.
times of upheaval in the past.
During the operation to recapture New York, Colin’s image of single-handedly breaking through an army of pouring monsters has been talked about as a legend to this day.
The cataclysm hero was cataclysm?
This was something even a cataclysmic hero could not easily do.
That’s why people just thought of it as a stimulating article title.
Nevertheless, out of curiosity, I clicked on the articles one by one.
“Holy Sut!”
“He came!”
Everyone let out an exclamation of astonishment.
Photos were attached to the article along with related information.
But the problem was, I couldn’t find the picture at all.
To be precise, is it a person or a clot of blood?
There was no distinction between them in the photos.
It would be if there was no explanation under the picture, ‘The collapsed Colin’.
“puck! Is this really Colin?”
“oh my god! Are you really catnip?”
People quickly skimmed through the photos in the article.
It was none other than to check Seo-joon’s condition.
If Colin had gone this far, Seo-joon wouldn’t have been safe either.
however.
“Jesus Christ!”
“Oh, my God!”
Seo-joon’s appearance in the photo was so fine.
Seo-joon spread out his five fingers and let out a shy smile.
The news quickly spread around the world.
Starting from nearby America, to Asia, Europe, Australia, and Africa.
Among them, the response from Korea was the most enthusiastic.
『[My Return at 6:00]: Breaking News) Kim Seo-joon, the hero of cataclysm fainting as soon as he arrived in the United States.』
.
.
“Even if I talk about it over and over again, I won’t believe it.
Just a link to the article.
www.xxxx.xxxx』
.
.
└[Twosome, Threesome Place]: Is this for real? That picture is Colin… right? Hey grandpa! beggar alive! Answer me!
└[Between Us and Gomennasai]: Wow… You beat them really well? I heard it only took less than 5 minutes to make that? But why did you two fight?
└ [Who lives in the Amazon? Maybe.. John?]: I heard that Colin was the first to quarrel? As if they were ignoring Asian dripping.
└[Korea Electric Power Corporation]: Is Colin sane? Have you grown old and senile? The one who defeated Beserk is Kim Seo-joon, but he’s crazy. You really have to get hit by a bitch to come to your senses.
└[Even though his grades are low, his sexual desire is high]: That’s why it ended like that hahahaha.
└[Korea Electric Power Corporation]: Ah yes hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
└ [Kim Cheomji’s Lucky Day]: But what is Kim Seo-joon doing in the photo of the article?
.
.
Naturally, curiosity about Seo-joon’s behavior gathered.
The picture of Seo-joon spreading all five fingers after Colin fainted.
There were many speculations about Seo-joon’s strange behavior.
And only two countries understood the action correctly.
“Robert, you can’t believe this… it doesn’t mean 5,000 trillion, right?”
“Yeah, it could be.”
Arya and Robert from England.
“Haha, I wonder if the US budget can afford Kim Seo-joon Hunter.”
“I still think it’s impossible, Prime Minister.”
“I’ll have to contact the Mafia family in the US to hide the emergency funds quickly.”
Samuele, Marcello and Antonio of Italy.
Along with Beserk, the world was turned upside down by the story of Seo-jun.

“What did I say? I told them not to get hit and whine, but to stay still.”
Jackson was at a loss for words at the words of attendant Kaden.
Jackson, the hero of cataclysm called Australia’s strongest.
“how···.”
Jackson just stared at Seo-joon with a blank expression.
Kaden looked at Jackson blankly and asked.
“How have you been?”
“You are my lifesaver from now on.”
Kaden let out a small laugh.
“But if it was Jackson-sama, it wouldn’t be any different—”
“no.”
Jackson shook his head resolutely and continued.
“Even if it were me, it wouldn’t have changed. Shall I be more honest? Even if all the heroes gathered here rushed at me, well…”
Jackson blurted out.
Seeing Jackson like that, Kaden slightly raised her eyes.
It was also because it was the first time he had seen such a reaction while working as Jackson’s entourage.
Jackson It has been decades since he has been Australia’s strongest player.
And even compared to the heroes of other countries, Jackson was a top-notch player.
If that kind of Jackson is enough to say that…
Kaden shook his head.
Because the power Seo-joon showed just now was literally overwhelming.
In the first place, Kaden was not aware of Seo-joon’s movements.
‘On the other hand, Jackson seems to have recognized it.’
Kaden asked Jackson.
“What do you think?”
Jackson didn’t answer.
I just watched Seo-joon’s back as he left the airport.
Then tok.
“This… is going to be pretty fun?”
Jackson grinned and smiled.
#
The happening at the airport is over.
Seo-joon and the others followed Lucas and boarded the waiting vehicle.
Jira Seo-jun, Geomseong, and Lucas are in the front car.
Team members got into the back car.
In the car that goes to the accommodation like that.
‘Was it too much…?’
Seo-joon thought about his actions just now.
50 trillion for Colin’s life.
It was the amount presented considering the 100 trillion won that the Apostle of Temperance received for his life.
Colin was a hero of cataclysm, so the amount suggested was half the ransom price of the apostle.
No matter how much it was, the other side would accept it if I presented an amount that was acceptable to some extent.
“Haa, what the director will say…”
However, when he heard Lucas sigh from the side, it seemed that the threshold of acceptance was different.
‘Ah, I don’t know. I have a lot of money to spend on power lectures and this and that, so that’s good.’
However, Seojun quickly shook his head.
I thought there was no corner to make money in the United States, but it turned out well.
‘First of all, I’m going to look into a lecture on power.’
That would be the case, Seojun could not properly control the power of the Longinus spear.
If he had used the Spear of Longinus at that airport, not only Colin, but everyone around him would have been swept away.
‘But it’s cumbersome to use and change weapons every time depending on the situation…’
However, when he reached the state of Fa-kyung, he was able to control the power of Longinus’ spear.
Currently, the progress rate of the foot power lecture is 20.6%.
If it exceeds 30%, it is possible to enter into the realm of bashyeong (發勁).
Above all, I hope that Jecheon Daeseong will arrive last time.
I heard that you can properly use the ability of the Longinus Spear when you can use the foot mirror.
Until now, Longinus’s spear was just a hard and powerful spear.
However, the spear of Longinus was a transcendental device on a par with the Yeouibong used by Jecheon Daeseong.
It is also a transcendental level equipment imbued with a narrative.
It was clear that the Spear of Longinus would also have the same ability as Yeouibong.
‘Looking at the performance of counterfeit products, it’s pretty predictable, but…’
I wasn’t sure as I hadn’t checked it out yet.
Therefore, it was necessary to increase the progress rate of foot power as soon as possible and enter into the realm of foot power.
That time when I was thinking about this and that.
“Hunter Kim Seo-joon.”
Suddenly, Lucas called Seo-jun.
Seo-joon shook off his thoughts and looked at Lucas.
“I know this is rude, but there is something I want to ask you.”
Seojun nodded slowly.
Lucas spoke right away.
“Is it really Beserk that you dealt with in England?”
Seo-joon looked at Lucas quietly.
Lucas’ expression didn’t change.
From Lucas’ appearance, Seo-jun could see that it wasn’t that he didn’t believe the rumors, but that he was just trying to make sure the facts.
Seojun calmly opened his mouth.
“yes. What I faced was Beserk for sure. And it perished.”
As expected, Lucas nodded slowly, without questioning anything else.
maybe.
If it hadn’t been for the airport job, Lucas would have asked a few more questions.
But Lucas saw with his own eyes what had become of Colin.
Perhaps the world’s strongest hunter.
I couldn’t help but believe his words.
Lucas opened his mouth again.
“Would you please take a look at this?”
Then, he picked up two pad machines placed on the side of the car and handed one to Seo-jun.
Then, he handed the other one to the Sword Saint.
What was reflected on the pad screen I received was a still screen.
Lucas hit the play button.
Hold on.
.
.
What was shown in the video was a place lined with shabby houses.
It was like looking at the Middle East or Africa.
-Kyaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Suddenly, people screamed from somewhere.
The flipped screen showed people running away in a panic.
Abigyuhwan’s appearance.
right at that moment.
Something huge caught on the screen.
It was so huge that it was not fully captured on the screen.
And that huge thing seemed to be looking at the person who was taking the video.
-Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
Sure enough, a tearing scream erupted and the screen shook.
After a while, the video on the screen became silent, blankly reflecting only the empty space.
I felt like I was running away, throwing away the device I was taking the video with.
And right at that moment.
-Kwoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
Chijijik…!
A tremendous groaning sound was heard, and the video ended with a severe noise.
.
.
“This···?”
Seojun’s eyes widened.
A huge being seen on the screen.
Lucas nodded slowly.
“Our administration assumed it was Beserk. The video was filmed a week ago in Africa.”
A week ago, it was after Seo-joon had annihilated Beserk in England.
“Would you like to watch the next video?”
Lucas operated the pad again.
And the scenery seen in the still screen.
“here is···?”
Seojun looked at Lucas with surprised eyes.
Lucas nodded and replied.
“That video is none other than here, America.”
Lucas continued with a confused expression.
“Some time ago, similar things were happening in the United States.”
