Episode 61.
An eerie silence descended upon the streets of the underworld.
A bustling bar.
A house of pleasure where one can indulge in primal pleasures.
Even those who gathered together and started fights among themselves.
An eerie silence descended as everyone in the underworld stopped moving.
“Myungji Gwang. Where are you?”
And then the soft muttering is heard again.
The silence that descends once again is brief.
“Poohahahahaha!”
“Ha ha ha ha ha!”
The streets of the underworld erupted in laughter.
“That kid, that thing. What is he talking about?”
“I think I lost my mind.”
There is a certain amount of randomness.
It was so absurd that it could only be considered a joke.
That would be the case, because this was no ordinary street.
The back alleys of the hunter industry.
Those gathered here were not ordinary people either.
These are people who commit all kinds of criminal acts without hesitation and do not feel even a shred of guilt.
This is a place where people who deserve to be called bastards gather.
Are you doing something like this on the streets of such an underworld?
“Honey, don’t act like a guest and go home. Before you see the bad things happening.”
There has never been a guest like that before.
More than anything.
“Do you know who Myung Ji-kwang is and are you looking for him?”
Who the hell is Myungji Gwang?
Pandemonium, which ruled the underworld around the world.
He is a top-level executive of Pandemonium.
The ruler who trampled all the dark factions gathered here.
It’s a name that even criminals in the underworld tremble in fear.
Do you call such a famous person like that?
“If you don’t want to die, go home quickly.”
It was no different from advertising, “Please kill me.”
The criminals of the underworld snickered and laughed.
The strange silence soon turned into sarcasm.
and.
“Myungji Gwang. Where are you?”
Once again the murmur was heard.
The sarcasm suddenly stopped.
The momentum sharpens and the smile disappears.
“I have to see something bad to come to my senses─.”
The words were not finished.
It was the moment when Siwoo took a step forward.
Kwaang─!
Siwoo’s new model disappeared in an instant.
Something I wanted to do for a moment.
“─I’ll prepare it, keuhup!”
At some point, Siwoo was grabbing the man by the collar.
“Myungji Gwang. Where are you?”
“This kid…!”
The man who had grabbed Siwoo by the collar grabbed Siwoo’s wrist.
however.
“Wh, what power…!”
Pfft! Pfft!
A loud noise, inaudible from the human body, burst out from the man.
The man’s body sagged and he started foaming at the mouth.
Siwoo picked up the man and threw him away carelessly.
The man who had fallen to the floor with a thud did not move.
“What, what is it…?”
“What is this…”
The criminals in the underworld shouted in confusion.
That would be the case, the man is lying around, foaming at the mouth.
Because I didn’t see even a single moment of the process that led to this.
He is no ordinary guy.
The criminals upgraded their evaluation of Siwoo.
But that’s it.
“This kid!”
“Where the hell do you think this is!”
The criminals of the underworld are gaining momentum.
I know that Siwoo’s skills are extraordinary.
However, those gathered here are not of a low standard.
A criminal from the underworld.
They are beasts that have no hesitation in killing people.
What more explanation is needed here?
“It seems like you have confidence in your skills.”
“But you came to the wrong place to stretch out!”
The beasts of the underworld each bared their teeth.
Siwoo slowly raised his right foot.
And then he hit the ground.
Bam!
The ground shook and fragments of shattered earth rose into the air.
As Siwoo threw his fist at the countless shards that had risen up, Kkwaang─!
The broken fragments shattered once more and shot forward.
The shattered fragments became thousands of flesh-piercing weapons that pierced the criminals who had gone before.
Pavababak!
Criminals impaled by shrapnel fell to the ground, bleeding.
He lay on the floor and made no further movements.
“……!!”
“……!!”
An unspeakable shock burst out.
Among those who rushed at Siwoo, not a single one stood up properly.
“Oh, you’re dead…?”
Not everyone died.
Those who were lucky enough to miss the vital points were able to survive.
But they too were shaking and trembling in pain.
I was bleeding profusely and couldn’t even think about getting up.
“Wh, what….”
Thump.
I heard footsteps.
Siwoo walked across the fallen people.
“Myungji Gwang. Where are you?”
He says it as if for everyone to hear.
It’s been the same thing all along.
That’s why it was a funny thing to say.
Right now at this moment.
No one could find those words funny.
Everyone trembled in fear.
A few people began to appear, unable to withstand the momentum and collapsing.
Even those who could move their bodies seemed to hesitate and take steps backward.
And eventually, after a while, he collapsed on the floor.
Siwoo continued walking.
Thud, thud.
Every time that happened, I felt an overwhelming sense of something huge approaching.
“You, who the hell are you….”
“Myungji Gwang.”
Siwoo answered quietly.
No, that wasn’t really an answer.
A loud noise like “Kwaang─!”
A new version of Siwoo that disappears in an instant.
Suddenly, a loud grab is heard.
“Where are you?”
Crunch!
Another one fell down with a terrible noise, foaming at the mouth.
Truly monstrous violence.
No one opened their mouth.
I couldn’t open my mouth.
Only the sinking horror engulfed the streets of the underworld.
“Some of you may know.”
Siwoo takes another step.
One by one.
He was looking at those still standing and telling them with his eyes.
I’ll find out even if it means killing you all.
This is crazy.
No, that’s impossible.
A dark place that even the guards of the inspection country could not do anything about.
But why on earth is that?
As if to prove those words, Siwoo’s footsteps as he took them were, crunch─!
An aura of monstrous power spread out in all directions.

Hunter Observation Bureau Seoul Branch.
“Team Leader! Team Leader Lee Min-jung!!”
Lee Min-jung raised her head at the urgent voice calling her name.
When he looked there, his teammate, Jeong Su-ah, was looking around, looking for him.
And then he soon discovered Lee Min-jung and ran over to her, out of breath.
Just as I was about to ask, “What’s going on?”
“Pandemonium has moved!”
“what?”
Lee Min-jung opened her eyes wide.
He jumped up from his seat and asked Jeong Su-ah.
“Where is it? Have you decided on a specific location?”
“No, not yet. But the traces are clear, so we’ll be able to figure it out soon!”
Lee Min-jung clenched her fist.
Pandemonium, a global criminal organization.
Although they were quiet in Korea, they have started to show their heads more and more recently.
I couldn’t figure out why.
But Pandemonium is the number one priority for unconditional annihilation.
They are on a whole different level from ordinary criminals.
So we had to uproot them before they could run rampant.
But I couldn’t do anything because it kept hiding its tail, but this time I finally caught it.
“Assemble all four teams immediately.”
“yes!”
“And request support from all the guards who can move at the moment. No, gather all the ones who can’t move.”
“All right!”
Jeong Su-ah suddenly ran outside.
Lee Min-jung also immediately packed her equipment.
Bloodbath with Pandemonium.
No matter how urgent it was, checking the equipment was essential.
Then, not long ago, I suddenly remembered the gauntlet I had missed at auction.
That would have been a huge help.
Lee Min-jung swallowed her regret and checked all the equipment.
And right then.
“Team Leader Lee. Just a moment!”
A voice was heard calling out to Lee Min-jung.
I looked at that place wondering what it was.
There, the head of the incident was running towards Lee Min-jung.
The case manager was the person who sorted through the reports received by the inspection bureau and assigned cases.
“I’m sorry, but I’m busy. I have an urgent case to attend to. I think this team leader needs to step forward.”
“I’m sorry, but I don’t think that’s possible right now.”
Lee Min-jung answered resolutely.
And just as I was about to turn around and leave.
“These are special instructions from the chief.”
“……?”
Lee Min-jung stopped and hesitated.
A gaze that slowly turns around.
“A C-class dungeon shock has occurred in Sangdo-dong. I think we should go there quickly.”
The incident manager’s voice was heard again.
Lee Min-jung’s eyes became sharp.
“Do I really have to go?”
That was something Lee Min-jung didn’t have to do.
Dungeon Shock, where monsters burst out of the world.
Anything that poses a threat to the safety of citizens is at best a C-grade.
It’s like using an ogre-slaying sword to hunt orcs.
“After all, this team leader’s skills are the best.”
“Send another team.”
“I heard that Team Leader Lee requested support. So, is it okay to reject the request for support?”
Crack!
Lee Min-jung chewed her teeth without realizing it.
Anyone who looks at the incident manager’s actions now finds them unnatural.
So, unless you’re an idiot, you wouldn’t have missed that meaning.
This pandemonium incident.
That meant the four teams had to figure it out on their own.
“More than anything, the chief won’t stay still… ”
And that meant he couldn’t take responsibility for the aftermath either.
In simple terms, it was telling you to move with the determination to take off your clothes.
Those kinds of things are sitting there, pretending to be the inspectors’ office.
My teeth were chattering, but on the other hand, I understood.
Because this country, the Republic of Korea, was that kind of country.
A country where the name justice no longer remains.
A country where believing in hope leads to greater disappointment.
That is the reality of Korea.
A world of equal opportunity, no discrimination, and empathy for the weak.
A country where these values are nothing more than hypocrisy.
but.
At least one person.
Shouldn’t there be at least one?
Even though society cannot be perfect or fair.
Even if those values are nothing more than hypocrisy.
Shouldn’t there be at least one idiot who craves the belief in justice?
There is one reason why Lee Min-jung became the head of the inspection department.
To protect the weak.
I’m not sure if that can be called justice.
However, we can never see pandemonium being established in South Korea.
“Whether you cut it or not. Do whatever you want.”
Lee Min-jung said that and left.
* * *
The darkest alley of the underworld.
This is where Pandemonium, which has conquered the underworld, is located.
“Ouch, we’re in big trouble!!”
Someone came running, panting, and shouted.
Kim Min-soo, a member of Pandemonium, was watching the scene.
“what?”
Kim Min-soo tilted his head.
Because he was running so urgently, it seemed like something had happened.
“R, right now…! Gasp…! Gasp…! Right now…!”
I was out of breath because I had come in such a hurry.
Maybe that’s why I couldn’t understand a single thing he was saying.
At the moment when I was about to hit myself on the back of the head because of the frustration.
“Right now…! There’s an intruder in the underworld…!”
“what?”
Kim Min-soo frowned.
Of course, an intruder in the underworld?
“What the hell are you talking about?”
What the hell are you talking about?
Of course, there were intruders in the underworld.
And the invaders were usually referred to as guards of the inspecting country.
So what I mean is this.
“The guards from the inspection bureau found this place?”
But Kim Min-soo couldn’t believe it easily.
Those guys were hell-bent on finding criminals.
This was especially true here in Korea.
This country’s public security was very strict, perhaps because of the national character.
The guards of the inspection country, known as the human slaughterers.
There was a reason why Pandemonium was unable to exert its influence in Korea.
That’s why I received this request.
The location of the underworld could have been identified under the pretext of that request.
But even so, it wasn’t like that.
The guards of the inspection country were not able to come here.
There were several reasons, but the biggest reason was, of course, this.
“Isn’t this matter going to be covered up by the higher-ups?”
Because the underworld was also connected to the upper echelons of power.
That’s why the inspecting country’s guard couldn’t come here.
But now… .
“They are not the… guards of the inspection department…!”
“Then what is it?”
“Ha, there’s one guy…!”
“One guy?”
Kim Min-soo tilted his head.
One guy?
“If you say it like that, how will I understand?”
“That, that….”
“Hey, hey. Okay.”
Kim Min-soo waved his hand.
Because I thought I knew what was going on just by looking at it.
“Oh my, these fucking idiots. Why are you making such a fuss over something you can’t do with just one guy?”
As expected, the person who was reporting flinched and trembled.
Kim Min-soo was suddenly feeling irritated.
“These kids are also part of the underworld. Tsk.”
Of course, not all members of the underworld were members of the same underworld.
It shouldn’t be considered on the same level as a member of Pandemonium.
But ultimately, this is what happens when Pandemonium takes control.
The underworld of Seoul.
Isn’t the pandemonium that rules this place ridiculous?
“To make matters worse, a new branch manager has arrived in Korea.”
Above all, the new scar-level executive who recently took office in Korea.
A new phase has begun in Korea with the appointment of a branch manager-level official.
We were able to prepare to expand our power in earnest.
But what is this that has been happening since the beginning of my term?
If by any chance the branch manager finds out about this… .
“Brother Myung Ji-kwang’s face must be something to behold. Isn’t it?”
There has never been a more shameful humiliation than this.
“I’m sorry…!”
“Okay. It’ll get complicated if Hyung Myungji Kwang finds out. I’ll show you where─.”
It was just then.
Bam!
Something was thrown in front of Kim Min-soo with a loud noise.
“what?”
Kim Min-soo frowned and checked what had been thrown.
A chunk of meat.
My quick glance at it was like this.
But somehow, the appearance of the chunk of meat looked familiar.
All chunks of meat are the same, but this chunk of meat was different.
To be exact, it looked like a chunk of meat with a familiar face on it.
“The driver…?”
A member of Pandemonium, Dong-Beom Gu.
Kim Min-su couldn’t understand the situation for a moment.
That’s understandable, since Gu Dong-beom shouldn’t have been here.
To be exact, he should have brought the woman with him and come back in good health.
I shouldn’t have come back like this, a piece of meat.
“But why is he…?”
Right then.
“I guess I came to the right place this time.”
An unfamiliar voice came from one side.
A street shrouded in darkness.
“Myungji Gwang. Bring him in.”
An eerie voice came from inside.
