Solo Leveling

The firefighters were in a state of panic.

No matter what method is used, the fire shows no signs of abating.

Instead, the fire began to expand, attacking them little by little.

The trees blackened by the flames fell one by one, and the fallen trees ignited other trees, so a vicious circle.

The flames rushed towards us like raging waves.

"My God, my God!"

"What about support?

"When will the support arrive?"

At this time, the helicopter finally arrived.

A group of magic hunters jumped out of the opened hatch, and they began to cast water attribute magic as much as they could.

Under the impact of dozens of magic waves, the fire was gradually brought under control.

Cheng Jin-Woo observed that scene carefully.

'These guys...they're top hunters. '

Judging from the power of magic, he is clearly a top hunter.

With the hard work of several top hunters, the fire was barely brought under control.

In other words, the guy who made this incident must not be an ordinary hunter.

"Wow, it's Mister Hunter!"

"Live, come alive..."

"Thank you, Mr. Hunter!"

The firefighters sighed again and again, while they began to deal with the remaining fire that was suddenly reduced in power.

If the hunters had come later, there would have been heavy casualties at the scene.

"A little further in!"

"The fire is going out!"

"It's over, the fire is out!

The video played to the end unconsciously.

When the video was about to end, Cheng Jin-Woo asked with some doubts.

"What's the reason for me to watch this?"

Although it is indeed an interesting video, it is a bit unreasonable to find myself because of the fire that broke out in country M.

Adam reached out and dragged the progress of the video to the last part.

"Here...you look at the back of the video."

After passing through the thick smoke that has not yet dissipated, and entering the interior of the burnt dark woods, the source of the fire revealed his true face.

It may be that there was a huge explosion at the scene, and everything around has signs of being impacted from the inside out.

And in the center.

It was a lying corpse.

There's no need to go out of your way to make sure you're still alive.

Because the hollow position in the man's chest happened to be where the heart was.

"In order to extinguish the fire he caused, we dispatched 1,800 firefighters and 14 magic hunters."

And also a top magic hunter.

With the caster dead, fourteen top hunters were dispatched to extinguish the remaining flames.

Cheng Jin-Woo seemed to know who the person lying there was.

"Could this person be..."

Adam didn't hide his gloomy face at all, he replied in a deep voice.

"You did recognize him. Yes, it's Christopher, Mr. Reed."

'It turned out to be him. '

Cheng Jin-Woo stared at the screen in surprise.

how can that be.

As a state power level and one of the strongest hunters in the world, was killed?

"We couldn't believe it either, but he was killed."

At the end of the video, a firefighter turns Chris' body over.

As a result, everyone saw Chris' state more clearly.

In addition to the hollow hole in his chest, many horrific wounds remained on his body.

This is the trace left by the battle.

"Then this is for you."

Adam took out a few photos from his pocket and handed them to Cheng Jin-Woo.

"This is the most suspected one selected by the Hunter Administration."

'That?'

Not a man or a woman, but like an object?

Seong Jin-Woo, who looked puzzled at Adam's words, turned his gaze to the photo in his hand.

Just a glance.

Cheng Jin-Woo didn't take the photo but stood up directly from his seat.

As soon as he hooked his fingers, Adam was pulled in front of him by an invisible force.

"Uh, uh?"

Adam's eyes widened in horror.

Seong Jin-Woo grabbed Adam by the neckline using the power of the Dominator.

"cough"

The tips of their noses were almost touching.

Cheng Jin-Woo said coldly with an indifferent face.

"If this is a prank...then you, don't think about leaving here intact."

This is no mere threat.

The aura surrounding him truly revealed the killing intent, and his eyes even shone with a cold light like a beast.

Adam's neckline was tightly strangled, and the veins in his neck were bulging because he couldn't breathe gradually.

"Don't, don't move!"

Of course, these words were not aimed at Cheng Jin Woo-jin.

Under Adam's desperate stop, the two senior hunters who were trying to attack Cheng Jin-Woo finally stopped.

After stopping their act of adding fuel to the fire, Adam's attitude was extremely sincere.

"The person in the photo came out of the dungeon, maybe not the person you thought!"

"Dungeon...?"

These words made Cheng Jin-Woo's hand holding Adam's collar loosen slightly.

Adam, who was slightly relieved, said hurriedly.

"His magic wavelength is the same as that of a monster, and he attacked our S-rank hunters indiscriminately.

Cheng Jin-Woo looked at the photo that fell to the ground.

The person captured by the surveillance camera...

It's Cheng Jin-Woo's father.

"Father who came out of the dungeon attacked the hunter?"

Seeing that Cheng Jin-Woo in front of him was a little shaken, Adam hastily added.

"Do you remember the bombing at the Hunter's Office a few months ago?"

How could you forget about that?

It was a sensational event.

There are different opinions about the cause of that incident, some say it was an accident of a secret experiment, some say it was a top-level hunter running amok, some say it was a battle between S-level hunters, and so on.

"That's what my father did?"

Adam nodded.

"After knocking down our hunter, he ran away. Although the Hunter Administration immediately sent people to secretly track him down, he seemed to have evaporated from the world, and there was no trace of him."

"..."

Regarding Adam's explanation, Cheng Jin-Woo didn't say a word.

"I can understand how you feel. But he does meet all the criteria to be a suspect."

He has a precedent of attacking hunters and his strength far exceeds that of S-rank hunters, and his whereabouts are a mystery, no one knows where he is.

It is not surprising that the Hunter Administration will consider "an individual who claims to be Cheng Rihan" as one of the prisoners.

But if everything Adam said is true.

Cheng Jin-Woo looked at Adam critically.

"Then why do you insist on letting me see this photo?"

"Council of International Guilds."

"...? "

"The high-level executives of the Hunter Administration decided to issue a warrant for his arrest at a joint meeting that brought together representatives of well-known guilds from all over the world."

In other words, the Authority will no longer continue its secret investigation.

Because of this incident, the government of country M has lost the precious resource of national power-level hunters.

For this reason, the government of Country M, which was very angry, decided to use all means to arrest the criminals.

And for this purpose, there is no more suitable opportunity than the guild joint meeting.

The state power level hunter was killed.

This matter is no small matter, and it will definitely attract the attention of the major guilds.

Then the Hunter Administration's proposal will definitely be taken seriously.

"Our Hunter Administration hopes to maintain a long-term friendly relationship with Hunter Seong Jin-Woo."

"So tell me the truth before publishing the arrest warrant?"

Adam nodded awkwardly.

"After all, if your father's face suddenly appeared on an occasion where you were invited, Hunter Seong Jin-Woo, you would be panicked."

Regardless of whether he is really the father who came back from the dungeon, or a fake pretending to be his father.

From the death of a state-level hunter, to the existence of Cheng Rihan and the wanted notice.

The reason why the current top-secret information was leaked ahead of time is because the Hunter Management Bureau does not want to become an enemy of the increasingly powerful Cheng Jin-Woo.

'......'

Cheng Jin-Woo chose to remain silent.

There is sincerity in Adam's infectious eyes and voice.
