The Constellation Returned From Hell

Chapter 566

“Really... Is this really okay?” Kwon Yeongseung asked in a worried voice.

It wasn’t just because Han Hyeokrim was an executive within Hanseong Group. Of course, the group was very powerful, but Kwon Yeongseung and Han Seha were A-grade hunters; they had never lacked power.

But Han Hyeokrim... Wasn’t he Han Seha’s relative?

“I don’t know this person, do I? Who is he?”

“...”

Kwon Yeongseung was speechless at Han Seha’s shameless behavior. Of course, he was also hiding his identity, but...

The orcs put the two men in a sack and scolded Kwon Yeongseung.

“When judging someone’s crime, you must not take into consideration their appearance.”

“That’s right. If you turn a blind eye due to personal feelings, the trial is no longer fair.”

“That... That is true, but...”

Regardless, Kwon Yeongseung was frustrated. He couldn’t help feeling that listening to these orcs’ advice was a bad idea.

“Senior!! What is this?!”

The politician’s hunter escorts, who had been waiting outside, realized belatedly that something had happened and rushed over. They were horrified to see the orcs.

“Monsters?!”

But there was something even more surprising. The hunters were more astonished to see the familiar faces next to the orcs. Those two people had their faces partly covered, but they were so famous that they were recognizable at a glance.

“Hunter Han Seha?! Hunter Kwon Yeongseung?!

“Uh... I don’t know who that is!” Kwon Yeongseung shouted instinctively before knocking down the hunters.

Bam!

The orcs whistled and looked down at Kwon Yeongseung.

“Pretty good...!”

“Promising! Promising!”

***

Han Hyeokrim came to his senses and raised his head. He initially thought he had passed out from the booze and had a ridiculous dream, but his jaw was tingling, and there were familiar people sitting next to him with devastated expressions.

No, this wasn’t a dream.

The person passed out next to him was Representative Kim, a bigshot who still had a great degree of influence on South Korean politics. The person tied up behind him was the boss of the historical and traditional A News Agency.

There were also executives of Hanseong Group that he knew or kept in touch with!

What unscrupulous criminal had kidnapped all these influential people?

“I... I know!”

“!”

Someone spoke up, and everyone in the room looked at him.

“Tell me quickly! What did you realize?”

“There’s only one group of people who would kidnap the likes of you and me. It’s... the Chinese hunters.”

“Wh-why the Chinese hunters?”

“Think about it. How many of the nearby countries are radical enough to do something like this? They must’ve done this to suppress Korean hunters after seeing their recent performance.”

“R-right...”

If someone got kidnapped while drinking, it was only natural that their reasoning would be faulty.

Some people at the scene seemed convinced, but someone who still had his wits about him said, “But they should kidnap the clan leaders if they want to keep Korean hunters in check. Why kidnap us?”

Thinking about it calmly, no matter how desperate the Chinese government was, they wouldn’t kidnap such people. They would much rather kidnap A-grade hunters.

However, if these people were sensible enough to realize that, they wouldn’t have built up grudges to get them kidnapped in the first place.

They overestimated themselves!

“Wouldn’t it be a much bigger blow to South Korea for us to disappear rather than losing one or two clan leaders?”

“For crying out loud! Think before speaking! Think!”

“I... I’m sorry.”

“Wait... I swear I saw Hunter Kwon Yeongseung there.”

“Hunter Kwon Yeongseung...? Are you sure?”

The others were puzzled by Representative Kim’s words. Why had an A-grade hunter been there?

“Seeing he’s not here, I think you were mistaken.”

“No... I think he was on the kidnapper’s side...”

Bang!

Everyone was stunned when the orcs barged in.

“I don’t know why you’ve kidnapped us, but you’ll regret it!” shouted Han Hyeokrim, gritting his teeth. A single punch from the orcs would shatter Han Hyeokrim’s skull, but the status of the people around him gave him courage. No matter who the kidnappers were, they could never lay a finger on them!

“You probably did this without knowing who I am. These guys are the same as me! I don’t know what you’re thinking, but the one who gave you the order will abandon you when things get bigger...”

“Quiet!”

One of the orcs snapped his fingers and hit Han Hyeokrim’s pressure point, rendering him unable to speak.

“You savage humans dare disturb the courtroom?! Be quiet! I will proceed with the trial.”

“????”

“What... What trial?”

Instead of answering, the orcs pulled Representative Kim forward.

“Regarding Dragon Hwang, the defendant made remarks such as ‘He can only complain to the government about low-grade hunters,’ ‘Why should the government help dead hunters?’ and ‘All disgruntled hunters should be expelled’.”

“Uh... That...”

Representative Kim was taken aback when something from decades back was suddenly brought up.

“It was a long time ago... It was also unavoidable at the time! Society was in turmoil!”

The sudden invasion of the evil god constellations had instantly shattered the established order. Hunters had to fight on the front lines to protect citizens. The more dedicated the hunters were, the more they suffered.

Hunters like Hwang Gyeongryong took their comrades to fight for the people, and they naturally protested firmly when they got hurt or lost someone...

The hunters who stood on the sidelines and the politicians who didn’t take the proper measures twisted the narrative to portray Hwang Gyeongryong as the bad guy.

Of course, Hwang Gyeongryong later took revenge when he left for the United States. Every time he was interviewed by a media outlet, he would mention the names of all his enemies.

-I was able to become an A-grade hunter today thanks to the support of my fellow hunters. Their help reminds me of what happened in South Korea... The clans who didn’t help me at that time... They treated me like a villain... It’s a shame for South Korea that someone like Representative Heo is still in power...

Listening to his interviews, some big politicians gritted their teeth and said, “I would’ve run for president if it weren’t for you!”

Representative Kim had also suffered a lot because of Hwang Gyeongryong.

“In addition, look at Hwang Gyeongryong’s deeds! He abandoned his country and blamed us for it!”

“That’s right! We went through such hardships!”

If Hwang Gyeongryong had been there, he would’ve grabbed the back of his neck out of frustration. Fortunately, the orcs disregarded this as nonsense. They ignored these people and only said what they wanted to say.

“Also... Aish, how annoying! Why should I read all this? Omitted!”

“Excellent, Iguacha!”

“Judge! Judge!”

“????”

The victims were even more bewildered as they saw the orcs praising themselves.

What on earth was this...?

“Garagoncha, suggest a punishment!”

“Death!”

“Jury! Judge it!”

“Death!”

“????”

“Lawyer!”

“Hmm... This is too troublesome! I’m going to skip the defense!”

“Okay! Executed! I will execute them in front of Hwang Gyeongryong to appease him!”

“Wh... Wh-what are you doing? You think you’ll get away with this? What is this...?”

The orcs didn’t allow any protests. One of them approached with an axe, grabbed one of the politicians by the nape and dragged him away like a dog. They were heading to the execution grounds.

Under the pressure, the politicians realized that this was real. One of them was so terrified that he wet himself.

“N-no! Wait! Spare me! Spare me! I don’t want to die here!”

“Hey! I have a family!”

“I only posted an article! There were extenuating circumstances! Consider the extenuating circumstances!”

“I did it because of this guy! He pressured me to do it!”

“Y-you bastard..!”

***

“We have a gift for you!”

“???”

Hwang Gyeongryong suddenly became anxious when he saw the orcs with beaming expressions.

Thanks to Choi Yeonseung’s power, the entity that had tried to infest him and the ice to stop it were finally gone. However, the orcs were still strange. Actually, they seemed to have become even weirder ever since Choi Yeonseung had become stronger and given them various buffs.

“You didn’t bring anything weird with you, did you?”

“No!”

The orcs had dragged a huge box in front of him. It looked like it could hold a dozen people. Hwang Gyeongryong was even more apprehensive as he noticed that the orcs had wrapped the lid of the box like a present.

“Did you catch a monster? But you’re not Yeonseung. You’re not cooking monsters...”

“No! Sigh... You’re too hasty.”

“Humans are so impatient.”

Hwang Gyeongryong waited with a grim expression. Meanwhile, a familiar face appeared next to him.

...It was Lee Changsik.

“No, why are you here?”

Lee Changsik also hadn’t expected Hwang Gyeongryong to be there, so he looked at the orcs with a puzzled expression.

Then, Garagoncha waved his hand. “Now, I understand that you’re both embarrassed, but look at this gift! This will allow you to resolve your old grudges and misunderstandings and make peace!”

“What on earth are you talking about...?”

“Isn’t this too much?”

Despite both of them complaining, they didn’t leave immediately. They were genuinely curious about what was in the box.

“Let’s show it to Master!”

“Right, right! Let’s show it to Master!”

The orcs cried out like innocent children.

Hwang Gyeongryong clicked his tongue when the orcs rushed to call for Choi Yeonseung.

‘Just what could be inside? Did they catch a rare monster from somewhere?’

“Yeonseung must be busy...”

“Eh, I think he can come here for a bit after all this fuss.”

“I just feel bad if he forces himself to come here,” Hwang Gyeongryong grumbled.

“...Who’s forcing him? I didn’t call him!”

It wasn’t long before Choi Yeonseung showed up. The orcs gathered around him and cheered.

“Greetings, Master!”

“Great Incar–”

“Just get to the point. So you called me to reconcile the two of them?”

“Yes!”

“Oh, that’s wonderful of you.”

“It was the other human household members who suggested it!”

“Really?”

Choi Yeonseung was slightly moved by the orcs’ words. He was glad that the people around him were taking such good care of each other as he was focusing on his duties as a constellation.

In fact, he had also thought about helping Hwang Gyeongryong and Lee Changsik make amends, but he had been rather hesitant about it because he knew it couldn’t be forced.

“Who came up with the idea?”

“Hunter Han Seha and Hunter Kwon Yeongseung gave their opinion!”

“That’s amazing. Alright, go ahead and do it.”

Even though Choi Yeonseung had also come, Hwang Gyeongryong and Lee Changsik still wouldn’t look at each other.

Instead of coercing them, the orcs decided to open the gift.

“...”

“...???”

The orcs peeled off the wrapping, revealing a bunch of people tied up in a cage. Then, one of the orcs stepped forward while sharpening his axe.

“Now, we will proceed with the execution of these humans in order to reconcile these two...”

“What the... Wait!” Choi Yeonseung raised his hand, flustered. “Is this what the two of you wanted...?”

“No?”

“No!!”

Following the reveal of the “gift”, Choi Yeonseung brought Han Seha and Kwon Yeongseung to the realm, and they were happy to see Hwang Gyeongryong and Lee Changsik together.

“Have you reconciled already?”

“No!”

“No!!”

“Oh... Ugh... What is this?”

Kwon Yeongseung felt a jolt of fear as he lay eyes on the dejected-looking politicians trapped in the cage.

“Why are you surprised? You were in court with us, weren’t you?” asked Garagoncha, confused by Kwon Yeongseung’s reaction.

“N-no... I thought they would just apologize...”

“They are going to apologize.”

“That’s right. With their deaths.”

Choi Yeonseung looked at Han Seha and Kwon Yeongseung with an incredulous expression.

Both of them waved their hands frantically.
