Three Meals of a Reincarnator

Chapter 325

***

Ji Yoo Kim told him that the hunters of each hunter association withdrew and began to scatter in all directions.

Not only that, but she also said that the hunters were beginning to enter illegal industries in order to make money.

Ji Yoo Kim expressed that the hunter leaders were calm as if they saw it coming all along.

Ho Sung Lee immediately looked for Min Sung.

He then reported the update.

Min Sung, who was enjoying his coffee while looking out the window said, “It’s snowing.”

Min Sung was watching the snow with sparkling eyes as if he was a kid again.

Since he spent so much time in the Demonic Realm, it had been a long time since he had seen snow.

Ho Sung Lee didn’t press him and quietly waited.

Min Sung admired the snow for a long time while drinking his coffee.

And a moment later, Min Sung opened his mouth.

“Call Commander Kim.”

In response, Ho Sung Lee bowed and excused himself with his phone.

Before Min Sung could finish his coffee on the sofa, the doorbell rang.

Ho Sung Lee opened the front door, and Ji Yoo Kim entered the living room.

Min Sung stared at Ji Yoo Kim.

He was asking how she came so quickly with his eyes.

Ji Yoo Kim realized that and immediately answered, “I was nearby.”

“Take a seat,” said Min Sung while glancing over at the chair.

Ji Yoo Kim sat down in a formal manner.

Min Sung put down his cup. He looked at Ji Yoo Kim and asked, “How is it looking?”

Ji Yoo Kim shook her head with a bitter smile.

“Not good.”

“Tell me in more detail.”

“You’ve heard that the drug dealers have held hands with the hunters, right?”

Min Sung nodded.

“The force of the hunters connected to the drug market is getting bigger. And as a result, many of the hunters are retiring from the association.”

“I think there’s a reason for everything. Why isn’t the government or the hunter associations stopping them?”

“I’m sure the hunter leaders are contemplating it as well.”

“What do you mean?”

Ji Yoo Kim smiled.

Her smile looked self-deprecating and full of criticism.

“The dungeons and monsters are gone, so what’s the worth of the hunters?”

“I’m sure it plummeted, but you can’t guarantee that the dungeons won’t show up again.”

“That’s true, but what’s important is you, Min Sung Kang.”

“What about me?”

“Because you exist, they’re no longer afraid of dungeons reappearing.”

Min Sung nodded with understanding.

“Continue.”

“That’s what the hunter leaders are contemplating. Since they’re not making profits from dungeons, the government is now treating them as if they’re a burden.”

“If that’s what the hunter leaders are worried about, are they...”

Ji Yoo Kim nodded with a heavy face.

“They’ll decide that they have no choice but to follow money.”

“I understand. But the government must feel burdened by the fact that the hunter forces are getting bigger and bigger.”

“I’m sure the government is making calculations as well. Meanwhile, the hunters are following the money already. As a result, the government is feeling restless.”

“What about Korea?”

“Korea is a little better. Since the land is smaller, the crime rate is lower. Of course, they still exist. After all, such criminal forces existed even when there were dungeons.”

Min Sung’s eyes headed toward Ho Sung Lee.

“This is a headache in many aspects.”

Ji Yoo Kim smiled bitterly without a word.

“Then is there a need for me to step up?” Min Sung asked with knitted brows.

He made it known that he didn’t want to be bothered.

“Korea isn’t free from this either.”

“What do you mean?”

“When the government’s support becomes weaker, the Korean hunters will also go abroad.”

“And then?”

“When the hunter forces become solidified, they’ll start fighting the government. They’ll try to take over the government. It’s an inevitable process.”

Min Sung cupped his chin and sighed.

Ji Yoo Kim continued, “As you know, you can’t stop the hunters with ordinary modern technology.”

“Not only the monsters, but the hunters, too?”

“Yes. Their weak point is harm related to the Aura.”

“Then the government don’t stand a chance against the hunter forces.”

“In order to fight against them, the government will have to obtain magical combat equipment, and since the dungeons are gone, that will come with astronomical expenses because a high premium will be added to the magic equipment.”

“So in the end... a worldwide war of rebellion will spread?”

“Yes.”

“Even when I’m here?”

Ji Yoo Kim nodded.

“Because they need money.”

Min Sung sighed out of frustration.

“Then what do you think is the best solution?” Min Sung asked while looking at Ji Yoo Kim.

“This is just my opinion, since none of us know what will happen. Is that okay?”

“I’ll make the final decision. Just give me your opinion.”

Ji Yoo Kim organized her thoughts. She looked up at Min Sung and opened her mouth.

“I think the solution is for you to rule over the hunters and control them.”

“How?”

“Call the heads of each country, force them to create jobs for their hunters, and for those who oppose, pressure them strongly with your abilities.”

Min Sung smiled.

“That’s intense.”

“Is that a compliment?”

Min Sung stared at Ji Yoo Kim.

When the towers first appeared and Ji Yoo Kim was being swayed by the hunters from all around the world, he simply saw her as a scared little girl. But that wasn’t the case anymore.

She was a leader who was able to move forward when given an opportunity.

He finally understood how she became the commander at such a young age.

“That’s not a bad idea, but I think the hunters who already got a taste of money will continue to rebel. What do you think about that?”

“They will. But we have to stop them. That’s something only you can do.”

“Have you had dinner yet?”

In response, Ji Yoo Kim opened her eyes wide before smiling.

“No, not yet.”

“Let’s have dinner later. Before then, bring some data regarding the presidents from all over the world as well as the hunter leaders. I’ll need a briefing during dinner. Can you do that?”

“Of course.”

“Then I’ll see you later.”

Min Sung picked up his coffee cup and looked at Ho Sung Lee.

“Is this the best Luwak coffee?”

“It’s not bad, but I can’t say it’s the best since it has to travel from its origin.”

“Indonesia, right?”

“That’s right.”

“Are the warp gates still in working order?” Min Sung asked Ji Yoo Kim.

“Of course.”

Min Sung nodded and passed his cup to Ho Sung Lee.

“Then I’ll call you at dinner.”

“Sure.”

Ji Yoo Kim bowed and excused herself.

After Ji Yoo Kim left, Min Sung returned to Ho Sung Lee who was washing his cup.

“What would be good for dinner?”

“Since you’ve had Korean food, how about steak and wine? Since this is dinner with the commander, the atmosphere might be just right.”

“Sounds good. Make a reservation.”

“Should I book out the entire restaurant? You’re speaking about important matters.”

“No need. I don’t want to disrupt other people’s meals. And even if somebody hears what we say, it’s not like anyone can stop me from making my decision.”

Ho Sung Lee thought for a moment before nodding.

“That’s true. Then I’ll make the reservation. But Sir...”

“What?”

Min Sung turned on his high-quality audio and looked through the list of songs as he asked back.

“Um... I don’t know how to say this.”

“Just get to the point. Don’t drag it on.”

“Hm... while I assisted you, I haven’t been getting paid. So living has been quite difficult.”

“Oh, that’s true.”

Min Sung laughed.

“Do you need money?”

“I do. I need to eat, buy clothes, and live. My bank account is minus,” said Ho Sung Lee with a grimace.

“But aren’t you in charge of my bank account anyway?”

“Yes, I am.”

“You didn’t use any?”

Ho Sung Lee frowned as if he was really annoyed.

“How could I spend your money?”

“Bring me your bank account number.”

“Are you going to pay me from now on?”

“I told you to bring me your bank account number.”

“Right now?”

“Yeah.”

Ho Sung Lee tilted his head.

“Yes, Sir.”

Ho Sung Lee went to his room. He wrote down his account number and brought it to Min Sung.

Min Sung got up with a piece of paper.

“How much money is in my account?” Min Sung asked Ho Sung Lee.

“Trillions of won.”

Min Sung thought for a moment and then looked at Ho Sung Lee.

“Is there anything you want to do? Like, set up a restaurant?”

“I do. But there are many things I need to do for you. I’ll do that when things slow down, and when I’m earning my own money.”

Min Sung nodded.

“I’m going out. Give me my wallet and car keys.”

Ho Sung Lee quickly brought over his wallet and car keys.

Min Sung left the house.

Bowl, Repone, and Ssol followed Min Sung.

Ho Sung Lee watched Min Sung leave the house and tilted his head once more.

***

He threw his wallet and car keys onto the passenger seat and started the car.

Bowl, Ssol, and Repone were so excited to leave the house for once that they chatted loudly in the back seat.

Bowl talked to Repone in the Demonic language while Ssol just added some sounds here and there.

Vrooooom!

The expensive supercar made a loud exhaust sound.

In response, Bowl, Repone, and Ssol laughed with excitement.

Min Sung immediately started his car and called Commander Ji Yoo Kim.

Yes, Min Sung.

“I have a question for you.”

Sure.

“It’s about Ho Sung.”

Ho Sung?

“He worked for me without getting paid. It sounds like things have been tight for him.”

Oh, really?”

Laughter could be heard.

Min Sung glared at Bowl, Repone, and Ssol, who were chatting loudly in the back seat.

Bowl, Repone, and Ssol all shut up at the same time.

Min Sung continued, “How much is an appropriate pay per month?”

Hm... I’m not sure. Is it urgent?

“I’m on my way to the bank. Just give me a number.”

Me?

Ji Yoo Kim sounded surprised.

Min Sung answered in an awkward voice, “He’s been working hard, so I need to pay him back. So...”

Wow! Ho Sung Lee will be so touched! Min Sung, you’ve changed a lot. You used to be so cold.

He heard laughter again, but this time it was louder.

Min Sung knitted his brow.

“Shut up and tell me how much.”
