hunting

A few days after the funeral.

In Ha Yeon-woo’s mansion, an unexpected test was unfolding.

“uh… How are you?”

Jang Bo-ra anxiously asks Jang Won-woo, who is grading at one side of the desk.

“Management 80 points, economic principles 60 points, commercial law 82.5 points… .”

Jang Won-woo’s expression brightened each time she recited her score, turning over the graded test papers one by one.

“… … Accounting up to 75 points. 407.5 out of 550 points. Last year’s pass cut-off was 382 points, so it’s an easy pass.”

“Wow! brother! Did you hear?”

“I heard you.”

“Then can I work in the black market?”

At her jumping words, her gaze shifted to Jang Won-woo.

It all happened because of a phone call she received shortly after the funeral.

Although he did not know that Ha Yeon-woo owned a black market, he realized that he was in a certain position and hoped to work together.

It was more accurate to say that he wanted to get a job.

Furthermore, he seems to be convinced that he did not receive the black market share in the name of the inheritance he received from the uncle.

‘In fact, it’s funny that he doesn’t organize that much stake in his body condition that he doesn’t know when he dies because of Mr. Baekgi’s personality.’

The people Ha Yeon-woo took were also members of the black market after all.

As a result, he treated her as an idiot. There was no intention or will to hide it in the first place, but it was like hiding the way the money was delivered.

It was a painting that I had to work hard to buy, but in fact, Ha Yeon-woo did not move, and I had no intention of giving her money and leaving her alone in order to repay the favor.

At least I was determined to protect her, unless she wanted to.

It was something that could be known at any time, so it didn’t make much sense to hide it. I just made him do it because the method Jang Won-woo suggested wasn’t bad either.

And her opinion wasn’t bad either, so I accepted it.

The question was what kind of work to entrust.

After thinking about it for several days, I realized that she had always had a talent for mathematics.

Entering college as an accounting major, and hearing that he even holds a tax accountant license, up to now were a series of processes that took place after the funeral.

Just two weeks ago, he said he would send Jang Won-woo, who already has an accountant license, as a private tutor and send him to the black market accounting team leader if he gets a CPA license.

It is said that he studied all the time because there was nothing to do at the convenience store, but considering that his life had not been easy, it was an unexpected and surprising achievement.

Even if Ha Yeon-woo couldn’t grasp the world, he knew at least that the accountant test was difficult.

“Can I join the company first?”

From noble mtl dot com

Learning something in theory and putting it into practice. If it is particularly earthly, Ha Yeon-woo gave up a thousand years ago. I’ve never even worked for a company before.

Of course I have to ask for advice.

“Of course it’s possible. In fact, if this is enough, the theory will be at the top of the practitioners working on our side. If I teach you, you will be able to do your part.”

Well, if you don’t know it, not everyone who works on the accounting team has an accountant’s license.

“Then let me go to work next week. Talk to the company in moderation.”

It was a black market that they called a ‘company’, and it was the moment when Jang Bora’s employment was decided.

“What about her family? Did you say Hyosung?”

Before Jang Bora contacted her to talk about work, the first thing she asked was about her right to exercise as a major shareholder.

‘That’s when I felt that he noticed that I had handed over the stock.’

Otherwise, there was no reason to ask yourself.

What Jang Bora asked was about banning certain guilds from using the black market.

I heard that it had something to do with the words he said to the woman at the next table after filling out the donation documents at the funeral.

That’s why I gave Jang Won-woo’s number and told him to deal with it appropriately.

“Ah, the Hyosung Guild and especially the family of its executives have been on the list of black market prohibited guilds since last week. In addition, all rights to use online sales items and gate distribution related to the black market were deprived.”

“Is the black market great?”

In fact, Ha Yeon-woo knew little about the influence of the black market.

Although it is said that it dominated the unofficial gate trading market in Korea, there was no opportunity to experience it.

In the first place, what Ha Yeon-woo wanted was not a black market, but cougar’s control of the shadows and manpower to do the dirty work.

After thinking for a while, Jang Won-woo started to give an example.

“In the case of blacklisting, an individual behaves recklessly within the market. It is time for guilds and corporations to rebel against cougars and the black market.”

“hmm… .”

“And discussing whether the black market is legal or illegal is a story that was only in the past four years ago. Now, they are fighting a pie by sharing the gate market with the government. It became a kind of giant brokerage.”

Jang Won-woo other companies or organizations. Small black markets were not even mentioned.

That’s also true, as Ha Yeon-woo knew, the black market accounted for 92% of the unofficial market’s trading volume.

That was pretty much everything except for the government.

“In a word, monster corpses, magic stones, processed goods, equipment, etc. It is a story that everything is done through the mediation of the black market, both online and offline. The remaining 8% are private traders or small-scale vendors.”

“What about the government?”

“We estimate about 30% of the total market. And most of the trading partners are companies and affiliated guilds that have no choice but to look at the government.”

It was said that the government was 30%, the black market 64%, and the other 6%.

“Especially, since Seoul is our territorial area, its importance is greater. The Hyosung Guild sells for an average of 20% less, and when purchasing, the quality and quantity are also unsatisfactory, and the transaction must continue forever. It may seem small, but it is an impossible blow for the guild.”

“… surely.”

I don’t really sympathize, but it’s easy to understand when I put it into the life I’ve been through.

The Bahala Empire he destroyed also had a state-run workshop that bought monster corpses and magic stones and made and sold various weapons.

However, the people who use it are only a few who are in a hurry and money rots.

The vast majority of unmanned people used the black market or auction house like the black market here in every city.

In fact, most of these places were directly operated by the lord or the rich man in each jurisdiction due to security issues.

Jang Won-woo’s words were that the black market, at least in Korea, had jurisdiction over all such territories on the Pan continent.

It sounds obvious, but even if it is a 4th tier monster, the strength of its bones is comparable to that of alloy.

A normal sword cannot withstand the caster’s sword skill unless it is a fairly well-known sword, and unless it is covered with sword skill, the monster’s skin cannot be cut, so the vicious cycle repeats.

In the end, unless you were a strong man who could exert his strength without using weapons, only arms made from high-ranking monsters were an alternative.

Wasn’t the weapon Ha Yeon-woo used also a sword made from the bones of a dragon that lived in Cheonma Peak?

From that point of view, the level of influence of the black market was no different from a direct force that was more terrifying than the king or president of a country to the Awakened.

“There can’t be an Awakener who wants to join a guild like that. Then naturally… .”

“It will be ruined.”

“I guess.”

Jang Bo-ra is happy and exhilarated.

I looked at her and asked.

“Is it good?”

“Of course it is! Some say revenge only hurts you. It’s clear that he’s either a grown man or an idiot. Exciting! the best!”

I felt it from the time we first met after coming back, but definitely… .

“You grew up well.”

“yes? I beg your pardon?”

A disposition to wish for more than anything else. Because Ha Yeon-woo did not have the same heart as hers, he always lost something in the past.

Jang Bo-ra asked back if she had overheard the self-talk that flowed inadvertently out of admiration.

“no.”

“to… . I think you said you grew up well?”

“no.”

smart-

A knocking sound was heard while he answered casually to Jang Bo-ra, who opened his eyes and was fussing.

The one who opened the door was a cougar gang member.

Perhaps conscious of Jang Bo-ra, he approached and cautiously conveyed his words to her ears.

“boss. This is the occurrence of the gate above the 4th level you mentioned. The location is Suwon, about 50 minutes away. It looks like we have to leave right away on time.”

After Ha Yeon-woo nodded, he put on a deep-brimmed hat on the desk and told those who would stay in the house.

“I’ll go out to see some work.”

“Please go.”

“See, you study hard.”

“lol. Let’s go, brother!”

* * *

In order to know what the source was, the only way to get to it was eventually.

And right now, the most relevant thing is the gate.

It was the reason Ha Yeon-woo went to subdue the gate.

He could have personally won the rights through bidding, but he deliberately hid his identity.

The first reason is that he may not be able to achieve what he wanted because he became too famous and caused unnecessary fuss.

The second reason was to raise a little cougar.

Even if it was a sword that would be thrown away if it broke, the blade always had to be sharpened to the best condition.

“It’s pretty quiet.”

The area near Paldalsan Mountain in Suwon, where we arrived after an hour’s drive, was deserted with not a single person to be found.

If it’s a feature, it’s like five or six drones roaming around in the sky.

“When a gate alarm goes off, the public must evacuate within a kilometer radius. It depends on the hierarchy, but usually I tend to control it that way.”

“What about that drone?”

“It would be a drone for broadcasters or individual video producers. If the gate wave is high, it will naturally fall due to abnormal electromagnetic waves, but after the subjugation is over, it is collected and made a reportage video or something like that.”

I’m afraid to solve the question roughly.

Ding- Ding- Ding-

An abnormal phenomenon appeared on the instrument panel of the vehicle in which he was riding. Then, the team leader continues to explain even though he did not ask.

“This is a precursor symptom of a gate that causes nearby electronic devices to fail. I guess I will have to prepare soon.”

“okay.”

The members of the cougar who accompanied Ha Yeon-woo here consisted of one team leader and 12 team members, nine fourth-tier and four third-tier.

It was a combination of people who could achieve moderate growth when hunting the 4th tier gate.

dismissal-

paper weave-

After getting out of the car and walking for some time, a crack appeared in the sky about 2 meters above the ground.

It feels like drawing a picture in the air using electricity as ink.

“Is that an early crack?”

“Yes, that’s right. Judging by the size of the rift, I don’t think the size of the guy that appears is that big.”

He nodded and stared into space.

When I unconsciously raised my finger to induce a coma, dark red smoke leaked out from the pores of my skin. Ha Yeon-woo’s marriage period that was immediately typified.

‘It’s similar.’

That phenomenon, as if a small lightning strikes the air.

Clearly, his outward appearance was nothing like his marriage period, but Ha Yeon-woo could clearly feel it.

One level higher than mana. That it is a power similar in nature to his soul mate.

Gripping support-

The shape of electricity that looked like lightning gradually tore through the air, and gradually began to change into the shape of a gate.

at that time.

“What are you?”

I heard a group of people approaching and asking.

“We are the Taeseong Guild, the winning bidder of the government bid. They… ?”

“Unregistered Awoken.”

A big kidney in a thin face. The team leader gave a short answer to the weak-looking man’s series of questions.

“Ah f*ck… All in all… . Never mind and get ready!”

He turned his head around, spat out a low curse word, and returned to the group, where he and his guild members started maintenance.

A war of nerves between registered Awakeners and non-registered Awakeners who regard each other as enemies.

Even so, the reason they can’t say anything about this is because the gate subjugation of non-registered Awakeners is not illegal.

From noble mtl dot com

Let’s say that a murderer who kills the tribes he sees kills on the roadside, and a commoner passing by catches him.

Can we really insult or punish him for not being a government-sanctioned police officer?

It was absurd. Not to mention, the opponents were monsters that couldn’t even be compared to him.

It doesn’t make sense to put a limit on hunting with a law that is not the same.

A guild created by registered awakeners and their gathering. The only difference between them and non-registered Awakeners is virtually only government benefits.

It’s just that you don’t receive the benefits of the awakened people given by the government, and you can’t sell the body through any official route. That was all.

Nevertheless, the gate bidding system was for more stable gate processing and smooth rotation of personnel from the government’s point of view.

In addition, it was possible to roughly grasp the status of the dispatch of awakened people in the field, and it was also an arrangement for the even growth of awakened people across the country.

So, between the awakening guilds in the sun, it is an unspoken rule to move in a line that does not interfere with the winning guild’s hunt.

One unregistered Awakener. In the case of the cougar gang members, for instance, there was no reason to care.

When the gate appears, hunt and grow. By-products hunted in the process belong to the person concerned.

This was their law and their royal road.
