Chapter 250 – Losing the Rabbit (3)

In a dark tunnel that would be considered a tunnel to hell if it weren’t for the train tracks that had been laid on the floor.
Crik! Crik!
A small caterpillar robot was moving with its lights on.
This robot had several cameras built into its body.
It was due to this.
-This is hell, isn’t it?
-This is insane.
-This doesn’t make sense.
That the people on the other side, who were watching this scene from Paris, France, were able to witness a terrifying sight in real time.
It was a hell-like scene.
-I’ve never seen so many dead monsters.
The sight of various monsters of all kinds dying with eyes rolled back and faces filled with pain was hard to explain in words other than the word ‘hell’.
-I never thought there would be a day when I’d be able to watch something like this on Youtube.
-We don’t even need to watch those lousy monster movies anymore.
Such a sight was being broadcasted to the entire world in real time through Youtube’s live streaming function.
Naturally, the number of viewers was indescribable.
And the shock that these viewers were currently feeling was also beyond description.
“Incredible.”
Among these viewers was Oh Se-chan and his subordinates.
“I never expected Kim Woo-jin’s abilities to be this…’
Although they were Kim Woo-jin’s closest confidantes, this was their first time truly witnessing what Kim Woo-jin was capable of.
“It was already amazing that time in California, but it’s on a completely different level when in an enclosed space.”
Moreover, what Kim Woo-jin was showing now was much more intense than the monster hunt he showed last time in California.
“If it was a battle before, doesn’t it feel like a real clean up now?”
In this case, it was so one-sided that it couldn’t even be called a battle.
When Kim Woo-jin released his poison, the enclosed space became filled very quickly, and the monsters, who couldn’t handle it, died.
It would be strange if it wasn’t intense.
“His image will certainly be imprinted.
In any case, it was the best performance with which to impress the presence of Kim Woo-jin and the Saviour Guild to the French citizens.
In addition to gaining the recognition of the French people, he was also proving that the Saviour Guild, with the help of Kim Woo-jin, did not lack the ability to clear an A- rank dungeon.
“Do you think so too, Boss?”
“Huh?”
Oh Se-chan seemed surprised by his subordinate’s question.
It seemed he hadn’t even heard the question at all.
“What did you say?”
Tilting their head at the question, the subordinate changed their question and asked again.
“What are you looking at?”
What was taking so much of Oh Se-chan’s attention at such an important moment?
Oh Se-chan answered the question without hesitation.
“Donation money.”
As he gave this answer, Oh Se-chan had the brightest and most innocent smile he’d ever displayed before.
Even his subordinates had never seen him smile so brightly.
So when faced with that smile, the minds of his subordinates couldn’t help but go blank for a moment.
After finally regaining their senses, one of the subordinates couldn’t help but ask.
“Is donation money really important right now?”
Oh Se-chan nodded firmly in response.
“Of course it is.”
His subordinates couldn’t help but frown at the response that was given without hesitation.
“The Messiah Guild is more likely to win the bid anyway.”
However, they were all surprised by the words that came after.
“Huh?”
“What does that…”
On the other hand, Oh Se-chan explained as though it was nothing important.
“Isn’t it obvious? The Messiah Guild and Saviour Guild are in completely different weight classes. It’s possible that they’ve already finished their negotiations with the French government. That’s probably why Park Shin-hye is there.”
It was then.
“Breaking news!”
One of the subordinates, who was monitoring another situation, shouted out.
“The Messiah Guild has established a branch in Paris, France!”
Those words shocked Oh Se-chan’s subordinates, but Oh Se-chan himself nodded as though he expected it to happen.
“As expected of the Messiah Guild, they’re so big that they can organise the situation easily.”
One of his subordinates couldn’t take it, and asked.
“If it continues like this, won’t we lose the bid for the dungeon?”
The establishment of a branch meant that the Messiah Guild were planting their will here, and for the French people, it was completely different from simply cleaning the subway.
Naturally, the bid was also more likely to be obtained by the Messiah Guild.
Oh Se-chan nodded in agreement.
“Right, we’ll probably lose the A- rank dungeon to them.”
As he said those words, Oh Se-chan got up from his seat.
“What can we do about it? When hunting rabbits, sometimes you miss your shot and lose them. Isn’t that so?”
These calm words caused the expressions of his subordinates to stiffen.
The atmosphere in the room also became cold.
But Oh Se-chan’s mood was different.
‘This will hold the Messiah Guild back.’
…
“It’s a monster corpse!”
People wearing protective clothing were lifting monster corpses up the stairs to the subway station one after the other.
“I didn’t think you could just pick up monster corpses like this.”
“It’s terrifying.”
The corpses of these monsters that were being carried out didn’t have a single injury, and those who were carrying them couldn’t help but be tongue tied by this fact.
Suddenly.
“Uh!”
“Th-, there!”
In this chaotic situation, a man who, unlike the others, was not wearing a protective suit, could be seen walking out.
“He’s coming out!”
“Right! That’s Kim Woo-jin!”
It was the moment when Kim Woo-jin, the person who had created this ridiculous scene, showed up.
But no one cheered for him.
Gulp!
Instead, only the sound of saliva being swallowed could be heard from the crowd.
This was to be expected.
After all, it would be very hard for a rabbit to cheer after witnessing a lion’s successful hunt.
In the midst of such tension, Kim Woo-jin simply brushed the dust from his body and kept moving without saying a word.
Crik!
Meanwhile, a row of luxurious Range Rovers pulled up.
One of the vehicle’s doors opened up, and Kim Woo-jin boarded it without hesitation.
“Good job.”
Then the Dragon Slayer, wearing a nice suit and no glasses welcomed him.
However, the ridicule that was clear in the Dragon Slayer’s expression and voice showed that he wasn’t actually welcoming him.
“It was for naught.”
The Dragon Slayer got to the point immediately.
“The Messiah Guild has established a branch in France. The French government will naturally look at the situation afterwards, but frankly, it’s already settled. The dungeon will go to the Messiah Guild. The Saviour Guild lost the dungeon to the Messiah Guild.”
Along with those words, the Dragon Slayer picked up an envelope from the seat beside Kim Woo-jin before handing it over.
“This is the price I promised.”
Instead of answering him, Kim Woo-jin opened the envelope.
Then he found a sheet of golden paper inside.
[Death Knight]
– Conditions: Emissary of the Underworld
– Required Level: 200 or higher
– Effect: Can turn a Skeleton Knight, who has hunted 44,444 monsters into a Death Knight.
Death Knight.
The worst and strongest among all the undead soldiers.
The Dragon Slayer then spoke as Kim Woo-jin put the skill page back into the envelope without a word.
“Isaac is smart too. To be able to get the skill page without attacking the dungeon on the condition of leaving it to the Messiah Guild.”
It was a simple deal.
The Dragon Slayer needed someone to attack the A- rank dungeon in his stead, so Kim Woo-jin made a suggestion to him.
Let’s leave it to the Messiah Guild.
Then, since the Messiah Guild will pay a bigger price to get it above us, you will give us the Death Knight skill page.
“We didn’t need to do it anyway.”
It wasn’t a bad suggestion for the Dragon Slayer, and the result wasn’t very bad either.
The establishment of a Messiah Guild branch in France was the best scenario for the French government to turn around the turbulent situation.
“But the Saviour Guild’s reputation will take a hit.”
Of course, it was inevitable that the Saviour Guild’s reputation would fall below the Messiah Guild’s for a while.
Kim Woo-jin responded to the Dragon Slayer, who pointed out that fact.
“It can’t be helped.”
It was then.
The smartphone in the Dragon Slayer’s breast pocket began playing a song by Edith Fiat(1).
The subsequent phone call was short.
After finishing his call, the Dragon Slayer spoke to Kim Woo-jin.
“The French government announced breaking news. The contents of it was that they’d be giving the chance to attack the 7 Floor dungeon located in Bordeaux, to the Messiah Guild.”
After that, Kim Woo-jin took out his own smartphone and looked for the news article.
[The French Government selects the Messiah Guild as the successful bidder for the dungeon!]
As the Dragon Slayer had said, it had been officially declared by the French government.
“It has been nailed in. The nails can no longer be removed.”
Now, it couldn’t be undone.
Kim Woo-jin nodded at that fact.
“There’s nothing we can do. We just have to do better next time.”
The Dragon Slayer smiled at his relaxed appearance.
The music began to flow from the Dragon Slayer’s chest once again, and the Dragon Slayer answered the phone with ease.
However, it didn’t take long for the Dragon Slayer’s expression to harden.
Before long, the Dragon Slayer spoke with his smartphone still on.
“Did you know there was an A+ rank 7 Floor dungeon in England?”
Kim Woo-jin didn’t answer the question.
‘It’s that greedy Lightning King’s legacy.’
It was none other than one of the treasures he’d hidden away.
‘And Excalibur is inside.’
And what was inside of it was simply ridiculous.
