“H-Hunter Joo Myunghwan… Isn’t this dangerous?”43eebc7d2a13f76f

Lee Min-jae, who was following Joo Myunghwan, asked cautiously. He couldn’t predict what a crazed Joo Myunghwan might do. There were too many eyes watching to pass this off as an unfortunate dungeon mishap. Especially since it was impossible to silence Yoon Soohyuk.8a40cdd0db007df4

Joo Myunghwan spoke only in Korean. But the intent of stabbing the intruder’s intact leg with the sword tip was clear enough without needing to be said in English.b9f7b998b64f5326

The dungeon was a lawless world, but there was an unspoken rule everyone acknowledged. If you aimed for someone’s life, you had to be prepared to risk your own. Even in Korea, where most hunters were registered with the government, this rule held true.f04a98fe446c08b7

Regardless of personal feelings about Joo Myunghwan, it was understandable why he was going to such lengths to uncover the mastermind. If he handed the intruders over to the National Security Agency, Joo Myunghwan wouldn’t be able to take any further action.3a89afc82d21d463

Sneaking into a dungeon 3df04af57e during a raid without 2ec62c3c49 permission was illegal. Since the Capital Defense f8992a6e1a Command was a military 4d48a2875f facility, the punishment could a83582913a be even harsher. However, if the intruder 1eff365ec0 kept his mouth shut, eb7deb2729 Joo Myunghwan would never 8e54c6bf88 find out who was a1b885385d behind the attack.1504cc0272929e18

The fact that someone had hired two A-class hunters meant the person held a significant grudge. If Joo Myunghwan couldn’t find out anything, he wouldn’t be able to sleep soundly.3f43e35bd52f6452
