▶ Chapter 28. Smash Them and Threaten Them (2)
Hehehehehehe!
Han Dongju smiled even more brightly, almost as if he were glowing.
Seeing that, Han Yonghwan quickly exchanged glances with Han Junggeun.
He looks like he’s about to pull some huge prank. Let’s keep an eye on him.
That was what their gazes meant.
Of course, they had no intention of leaving the Association President alone, but this was not the place to do anything.
“So, have you all been doing well? You young people never even come to greet this old man! Tsk. I was very disappointed.”
“We’re sorry! As you know, the people have very high expectations of us, so we’ve been buried in work.... As an apology, we brought you something very good.”
Han Dongju took several bottles of alcohol out of his inventory.
It was expensive sake from the brand the Association President liked.
“Whoa!”
The Association President’s eyes widened as if they were about to pop out, and he swallowed hard.
He immediately reached for the sake, but a hand stopped him.
It was one of his bodyguards.
“Association President, we need to check it first.”
“Ah, right. Of course. I hope you understand. I’ve been feeling threatened lately. I am a future presidential candidate, after all, hahaha!”
“Yes, of course we understand. Please check it!”
Han Dongju willingly opened the sake bottles.
The bodyguard inserted a silver rod that could detect poison, sleeping drugs, and other substances into the sake.
Nothing was detected in any of the ten bottles.
Of course.
Han Dongju would never use such an obvious, low-level trick.
What kind of drug was it?
A drug that causes severe baldness!
According to the information he had obtained, the Association President was already almost bald and was hiding it with a wig.
I’ll slowly make his head even shinier, then during a live press conference or something, I’ll pretend it was an accident and rip his wig right off! Hehehehehe!!!
Once again, Han Yonghwan and Han Junggeun exchanged glances, silently agreeing that they needed to keep a close eye on their third brother.
“All right, everyone, eat!”
The Association President spoke loudly as if he were the one treating them.
For now, the three brothers picked up their utensils.
“Representing an organization is truly difficult, you know. Hunter Han Yonghwan understands that well too, right?”
When you spent your life clearing gates, you learned how to eat properly no matter what kind of situation you were in.
Whether the Association President barked away in front of them or not, everyone ate just fine.
As someone who had met all kinds of people over seventeen years, Han Yonghwan listened while casually letting most of the Association President’s words pass by.
Then, once the timing felt right, he brought up the reason they had come.
“HunterAnham would like to use the portals.”
“Only hunters officially registered with the government are allowed to use portals. So registration should come first.”
“HunterAnham has no intention of revealing their identity.”
“I simply cannot understand that. They’re number one in the world rankings. Number one! Why would someone so powerful and brilliant hide their identity?”
Han Yonghwan, who had become a hunter at fifteen and had suffered because of every kind of trash imaginable since then, understood the reason all too well.
Because trash like you would obviously latch onto them like a starving demon.
Instead of saying what he really thought, he answered,
“We don’t know. They must have their own circumstances.”
“Do you know something?”
The Association President’s eyes immediately narrowed sharply.
They returned to normal in less than a second, but Han Yonghwan had already seen it.
As expected, he isn’t drunk.
The bodyguards were probably recording this conversation as well.
Han Yonghwan already knew the Association President was desperately trying to uncover information about HunterAnham.
He probably believed that if he received the support of the world’s number one hunter, becoming president would be easy.
“No. That person is far stronger than the three of us combined. We cannot find out anything.”
“Well, they did resolve a Rank 9 Break in five minutes.... Are you afraid?”
That was a question Han Yonghwan had truly not expected.
He could not stop himself from asking again.
“What?”
“HunterAnham. Are you afraid of them? Last time in Gangneung, they smashed apart and threatened one of the hunters I valued. They seem to have a more violent personality than the public knows.”
“....”
“Considering all three brothers, who always avoided me before, suddenly came running here together, I suppose HunterAnham threatened you to bring them permission to use the portals. Am I right?”
