The government’s sudden change of heart meant they were displeased with something. The Director waved his hand dismissively.394d36160eaf242b

“Of course not. How could Guild Leader Yoon Soohyuk ever fall out of favor? It seems to be due to talk coming from political circles.”f30687160fc59d39

Soohyuk frowned at the Director’s cautious explanation. After the Great Cataclysm, countries emerged where S-class hunters became leaders or wielded power. There were also instances where a high-ranking hunter’s rampage paralyzed a country’s functions.bd074bc94b9e2d20

Some countries 2a63cf1961 even attempted 1a236bf054 to monitor 478caea216 Hunters like 43a9e8fc4c prisoners. There were 50ea09076b hardliners in 5ddb24b121 Korea who 24df9d3134 made similar 25b3db0b2b claims. These individuals 1b60bf1e33 would raise 6db7c470fc their voices 0b661a3d76 during election 95119c402a season, rallying ae2ed91717 supporters by 0a1164abc5 bashing Hunters.e6ec38722df19244

However, they were a 5ed837e4b0 minority, and Korean politicians 6885624a25 chose to coexist with 8d88870542 Hunters rather than confront 717bec5745 them. This one-sided pressure cf8b98372c without reason clearly 0296e6799a had a cause. It was 2b9d18ef35 either money 2d955427a4 or some b5a27293d9 other vested 5430cad982 interest involved.fbec51e1061c9177

As expected, the National Security Agency’s Director hinted that someone from the Presidential Secretariat would be in touch. In the end, the Director was merely a messenger. Soohyuk had no choice but to wait to find out what the government wanted.5e0638d15c39d272

After the 90bf26b3bd uncomfortable meal aac8b967e8 with the 76d2be7986 Director, Soohyuk fbac61e956 got into 2df2e20917 the car 44613cf6c5 with Jung 9eb6d29dc2 Seongwon to 06671edc86 return to fc20a77582 the guild cebf90f6cc office and bc8154b8b8 quickly spoke.d22ed9fd426e57b8

Everyone had ties to the business world, exchanging bribes and kickbacks, and donating to cults and shamans was so common that it wasn’t special. However, an inexplicable unease still tickled the back of Soohyuk’s mind.5a2f467efc706541

The elderly secretary recited almost exactly what the National Security Agency Director had said. Although mixed with political rhetoric, the core message was that Minjun should withdraw from June Guild before public opinion worsened. He didn’t forget to add the threat that civic groups would rise up.e4947b9cada13a5b

Minjun’s eyes widened as if he was hearing this for the first time. It made Soohyuk’s heart ache even more. He was furious that they were trying to kick this baby chick, who knew nothing and could only widen his eyes in surprise, out of the guild.e606b2c40839272c

He himself had 2f763e0fb3 become an S-class d2791baf3e Hunter at the 57b4115b28 age of twenty.

Since Minjun had no memories or family, it was obvious that even worse things would happen. There was a limit to how much he could be Minjun’s backing. If he signed even one contract wrong, it would be over.02f568fea9625082

Soohyuk seriously considered turning things upside down. He could also wage a public opinion war. But the justification was on the government’s side. If the media, under the government’s direction, started talking about the dangers of S-class Hunters, he or Minjun would become trash in an instant. If it turned into a mud fight like this, the disadvantages would outweigh the advantages.b5946911a785f0e7

Minjun, who had been momentarily stunned by the talk of leaving the guild, quickly regained his senses. If he couldn’t change the situation, he had to react quickly. He accepted leaving the guild as a foregone conclusion and realized there were many things to do.98d25fec67dd5206

Unlike in the past, hunters couldn’t enter dungeons alone anymore. By law, at least two hunters had to enter any dungeon. So, in order for Minjun to enter a dungeon, there had to be someone to accompany him.c5b4789628186c88
