Chapter 472
Chapter 472 One Mistake (1)
I took a step.
Kang Min-ho’s heart felt like it was going to explode at the situation where he was walking in the lead.
‘He killed a man. That too casually.’
set of circumstances.
As soon as Ko Sang-ho revealed his intent to kill, Roman Dmitri blew his head off without hesitation.
It was shocking.
Although violence dominates society after the great chaos, casually committing murder was another matter.
Of course, it is not that Kang Min-ho has not committed murder.
Since the conflict between hunters is directly related to each other’s lives, there was a time when they stabbed a knife into the heart of an enemy who was attacking him as if to kill him.
But it was really self-defense. It was completely different from blowing off the head of an opponent who had lost the ability to fight.
‘Can I say that this is Roman Dmitri’s fault? no. It was an unconventional response, but it was enough justification to kill Koh Sang-ho.’
I looked over the situation.
Ko Sang-ho confirmed the unknown information and when his leg was cut off in return for trespassing without permission, he screamed and threatened death.
It was a dilemma. Ko Sang-ho’s remarks are nothing more than threats, but they are not an issue that can be ignored.
As he said, he would definitely mobilize Red Moon’s forces, and in a situation where they were aiming for each other’s lives, the situation just like that was the realm of self-defense.
blast furnace.
It was a difference in order.
Murders usually happen when conflicts escalate, but Roman Dmitri went one step ahead of common sense.
‘I can’t say Roman Dmitri is an evil man because of the murder he just committed. It was Red Moon that crossed the line, and it is natural to ask for responsibility with your life in an age of great chaos. In fact, the reason other people can’t do that is because it’s impossible to cover the back. And even though it’s been a few days, Roman Dmitri-nim, whom I’ve experienced, showed a reasonable enough figure. In return for the deal, I knocked down the soldier ants and just handed over the expensive by-products for a month’s living expenses.’
I caught my breath.
perhaps.
Maybe he just wanted to believe in Roman Dmitri.
If I had nothing to gain from him, I would have stepped back, but in this turbulent world, it was not the right thing to do without risk.
I wanted to believe it once. If Roman Dmitri was the one who would lead him to the shelter, he had to stay by his side tenaciously, even thinking of his only daughter.
I organized my thoughts.
If you chose to accompany Roman Dmitri, the problem you faced from now on was the dispute with Red Moon, a huge guild in Incheon.
‘If it’s enough to blow Go Sang-ho’s head off just for showing murderous intent, then Roman Dmitri-nim would never compromise with Red Moon. The same goes for Red Moon. The guild master of Red Moon is a very belligerent person, and considering the guild’s reputation, there is no way he would stand by and watch Ko Sang-ho’s death. If we lead Roman Dmitri to the base of Red Moon, it is certain that one of the two will die.’
individual and group.
The result was obvious.
Kang Min-ho, who had been walking ahead of him, stopped walking, thinking that Roman Dmitri’s safety could not be guaranteed.
Then he turned his head and said.
“… I have something to say for a moment.”
* * *
It was a strange feeling.
Roman Dmitry looked younger than himself, but it was not easy to tell him the truth. It wasn’t just because of force.
The natural inferiority and the overwhelming charisma that were revealed even without intention had no choice but to accept that he was mentally superior to himself.
Is that why?
In this situation where he was about to mention realistic issues, Kang Min-ho felt his voice tremble without realizing it.
“No matter how you think about it, this doesn’t seem like it. The opponent is Red Moon. The number of hunters belonging to them is over one hundred, and their guild master is a skilled person who secured a B grade several years ago. It would be too much for a single guild master to handle, but going into their stronghold alone is tantamount to committing suicide.”
“… .”
There was no answer coming back.
Looking at him calmly, as if to say more, Kang Min-ho seemed to have gained strength and continued to speak.
“This day. I understand. Koh Sang-ho trespassed and threatened Roman Dmitri, and it is only natural that the opponent would pay the price in some way. But from now on, you need to think realistically. There is only one way to stop the threat of Red Moon. Entrust yourself to the Incheon government. It does not mean that you belong to the Incheon government. Currently, the Incheon government will not refuse the offer to establish a cooperative relationship temporarily because they want to recruit Roman Dmitri.”
Junhyeok Kim.
He is a man of considerable ability.
Even if Red Moon came out aggressive, he had the ability to defuse the situation somehow.
“People say that national government and local government are separate entities, but not in times of catastrophe. I will be your witness. Witness that the killing of Koh Sang-ho was self-defense. If the Incheon government trips on Red Moon due to legal issues, even Red Moon cannot touch Roman Dmitri, who is protected by the Incheon government. If you don’t change your mind after securing immediate safety, prepare for the war against Red Moon slowly. If we secure friendly forces and preempt the timing, then there is a good chance.”
Kang Min-ho stood at a crossroads.
testimony.
He said it was nothing to Roman Dmitri, but in fact, to testify in the dispute with Red Moon was tantamount to having Red Moon as an enemy.
They will definitely be hostile to Kang Min-ho, who serves as a witness. He might receive death threats, but Kang Min-ho decided it was worth it.
I swallowed dry saliva.
I said everything I could say.
How Roman Dmitri took this was not his choice from now on.
Minho Kang’s suggestion.
It wasn’t pure goodwill.
A well-purposed favor.
Roman Dmitry smiled at Kang Min-ho’s eyes, which were seething with aspiration.
‘It’s fun.’
those eyes.
I was used to it.
The memories of the previous life buried deep in the heart came to life vividly in the new relationship formed in the new life.
* * *
Two previous lives.
When he first lived as Roman Dmitri, his past life didn’t mean anything good to him.
bottom of life.
A father who forces him to fight.
In a life full of blood, the young boy had no choice but to grow into a demon in order to survive.
But now it was different.
For Roman Dmitri, who has faced a new life, his previous life did not remain as a painful memory.
‘It was like this in my previous life. I met people full of aspirations, and because of them, I was able to live a life worthy of a human being.’
Chris Kevin.
Valentino Fabius.
Edwin Hector Daniel Cairo and so on.
They expressed their aspirations by facing Roman Dmitri.
Chris’ desire to become the greatest sword, Kevin’s desire to escape the slums, Valentino’s desire to possess, etc. Faced with their aspirations, Roman Dmitri obtained a person in return for fulfilling their aspirations.
At first it was a simple transaction.
Since the transaction in exchange for aspiration formed a relationship of firm trust, he accepted the beings he thought he needed in order to live a new life one by one.
and they
I filled my entire life.
Roman Dmitri calmly accepted the last three years of living as a human being and therefore being unable to do anything.
‘I want people who are thirsty for life. The kind of people who don’t despair at the bottom of life, but climb the cliff like tenacious. Those who helplessly watch the sky fall cannot advance with me.’
Aspiration is the driving force of life.
so that.
I didn’t hate people like Kang Min-ho.
The intense longing that reminds me of my previous life gave me a direction for how to live in the future.
said Roman Dmitry.
“From the moment I decide to live a new life, I will form my own territory that no one can touch. This job is just the beginning. You have a point, but I do not want to live in peace with those who have revealed their hostility to me. So choose.”
presence was inflated.
Looking at Kang Min-ho, he clearly imprinted what kind of person he is facing now.
“If you are concerned about your safety from what will happen from now on, step back. You were not obligated to do so from the beginning. But if you take me to Red Moon’s stronghold and say you’ll take the risk, if you say you’ll live for me in the future. I will make your wishes come true. By my side you will be able to live the life you desire.”
Minho Kang opened his eyes.
unexpected remarks.
I couldn’t answer right away.
He had never thought of living for anyone but his daughter, but he felt his heart beat like crazy.
It was instinct.
if this person
If you are with this person.
I felt like I could achieve what I thought was a dream.
Not just entering the shelter with my daughter, but doing so much more.
“… I’ll be with you. I would even give my life if you would grant my desire.”
verbal answer.
That was enough.
As always, the process of accepting people did not require many conditions.
said Roman Dmitry.
“Guide them to the base of the Red Moon. From now on, you will know who I am.”
* * *
Red Moon’s guild master.
Cha Dong-chul was looking down at the city of Incheon through the window.
‘It’s been 5 years since I escaped Seoul as if I was running away. I didn’t have anything back then, but now I’m different.’
5 years ago.
Cha Dong-cheol, who was promoted to Class B, did not know that he was high in the sky because of his pride as a peak hunter, and he met a man while quarreling here and there.
I didn’t know then. Even if it’s the same peak hunter, the fact that A and B grades are completely different.
Cha Dong-cheol lost one eye in the fight that day and left for Incheon thinking that he could not live in Seoul any longer.
choice at that time.
People laughed.
High-ranking hunters were not treated except in Seoul, so people looked at Cha Dong-cheol and sarcastically said that he had fallen to the bottom.
I spent the past five years enduring such humiliation. Hunters from Incheon flocked to the title of peak hunter, and now it has become a huge guild with over 100 hunters.
My right eye was throbbing.
It was soon.
If he is promoted to Class A, Cha Dong-cheol will seek out the existence that made him this way and take revenge.
‘A dead demon. You may have forgotten me, but I have not forgotten you. wait. I’ll be back soon.’
flesh.
Among the few A-class hunters in Korea, he is known to be the most aggressive.
Cha Dong-cheol felt a wall the day he met him.
Salgwi was a being born with the ability of a transmitter, and he clearly witnessed what would happen if 0.01% of special beings were even born with the talent.
Truly an overwhelming swordsmanship. Cha Dong-cheol fell to his knees at the attack that slashed his body, and the opponent cut out his eyes with his sword.
5 years of time.
It was different now.
Cha Dong-cheol worked hard to rise to the A grade, and a year ago he had a huge opportunity.
‘Memory Stone. An item that allows even those not born with the ability to transcend the dimensional boundary. I got the transfer ability through the memory stone. After being promoted to Class A, if I lead the Red Moon to attack the Flesh Ghost, no matter how strong the Flesh Ghost is, it won’t be able to handle a group led by me alone.’
A laugh came out.
It was luck.
Obtaining a stone of memory that could not be bought even with billions of dollars was clearly the will of Heaven to take revenge on Salgwi.
Kwak.
Kurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrating
As he clenched his fists, mana boiled over.
intense power.
I wanted to take the promotion test soon.
As soon as the birth of a new A-class hunter is announced, Red Moon will spread its reputation not only in Incheon but also in Seoul.
When I was so full of hope.
I heard the sound of pouring cold water.
“Guild Master! We have a problem!”
accepted.
Cha Dong-cheol frowned at his appearance as he spoke with an urgent face.
“What is going on?”
“This time, an unknown person who was trying to recruit came to the guild. But… .”
“however?”
“He said he killed Ko Sang-ho.”
“what?!”
Jump up.
I got up and left my seat.
Ko Sang-ho’s death.
It was news that made Cha Dong-cheol angry, which he could never tolerate.
