"How the hell did this..."
"The story is a bit complicated."
Originally, the Secretary came to check the card and to offer a few things to appease him. Even if it wasn't a mistake, he had to make something up and give him a present. It was the way to contribute to the development of the Republic of Korea after all.
For him, the world's strongest 10-star hunter was so not materialistic that it was problematic.
But, this situation looks strange.
Disregarding the special arresters team, Han Sang Heon, the executive, and Lee Sangman, the director are here, and they were aiming their weapons at Jaehwang to brace themselves as if they had assumed that Jaehwang was an enemy.
'This crazy... '
Anxious thoughts passed through the Secretary's mind. At the same time, he could hear the voice of the crazy man.
"Save the Secretary-General!"
Surrounded by the shouts of Lee Sangman, the team tried to rush again towards Jaehwang.
"Shut up before I kill all of you!" The secretary roared and everyone stopped with their faces red with embarrassment.
"I... I'll clean it up, so please don't worry, " the Secretary pleaded with Jaehwang.
"Okay, sure, then I'll excuse myself..."
"Yes, yes... about this incident, we will formally make an apology later..."
Jaehwang shook his hands and turned it down."Don't need it."
It was a waste of time to pay more attention to them. Instead, Jaehwang threw something at the feet of the Secretary-General.
It was the 10-star Hunter license card that he gave him.
"This... why..."
The Secretary-General's face turned pale.
"I think I need to reconsider my thoughts on the Korean Hunter Office."
"What... ?"
Jaehwang stared at the secretary-general and the people behind him as he shook his head in disbelief.
"I'm very disappointed that the Hunter Secretariat is able to abuse state power this way. What if I was a civilian?" Jaehwang said as he walked back."I don't want to reveal my identity here either."
The Secretary-General's face turned whiter.
"No! These are all their independent acts..."
Jaehwang blocked his excuse."No, I was able to see your organization as a whole by looking at your members. Call me when you're ready to be in the same line as me. Starting now, I will speak directly with the World Hunter Office."
The secretary's face was terribly wrinkled at his final words.
How many concessions have been given to them from all over the world just because this Archery Master belonged to the Korean Hunter Secretariat? Those seeds will finally bear their fruit but now, it would all be destroyed.
Now, ignoring the Korean Hunter Secretariat as the middle bridge and talking directly to the World Hunter Secretariat meant that all interests for the Korean Hunter Secretariat will be scattered in the air.
"But... I'll give you a chance for sake of grandfather Kwon Je, " Jaehwang said.
"Yes."
"Take care of it completely." Jaehwang's final words revealed a firm resolve in the face of the general secretary.
"I will visit you soon!"

"What is happening?"
Sangman realized that something was wrong but he couldn't wrap his head around anything yet.
Then, the secretary-general with the most forced smile on his face walked towards him."Kneel down! You bastards."
The special arresters and Lee Sangman kneeled unconsciously at the powerful energy bursting out of the Secretary-General's body. Han Sang Heon, the only executive that remained standing also kneeled on the ground at his command.
The general secretary looked down at them with his eyes red with rage.
Not long ago, he was crouching and sweating at Jaehwang who's now nowhere to be found.
Right now, only the former head of the Special Operations Division remained as the secret weapon of the Korean Hunter Secretariat who has not been exposed to everyone. The Special Operations Division of the Hunter Secretariat was the real force of the South Korean Hunter Secretariat which was incomparable to their Special Arrest Division.
The general commander of the special operations force who had been trained by the senior elder, Kwon Je, had no reason to come into politics. He retired when he grew older and chose a management position where he could have it easy.
Then, after the former secretary-general was fired after annoying Invincible and Jaehwang, Kwon Je had asked to have a reliable figure as the head of the Korean Hunter Secretariat.
"How dare you create such a mess..."
"Who is that man..." Lee Sangman asked as his voice trembled.
"The Master Archer Chun Jaehwang!"
In one word, the secretary-general stopped the brains of everyone there.
*multiple gasps*
Realizing who they were running up to now, they all looked like their souls wanted to flee from their bodies. They all realized that until now, their opponent has been lenient on them. They were basically in a tiger's mouth.
If he had been a bit less compassionate, would there be anyone standing here completely?
In particular, this shocked Han Sang Heon the most. Even though he did not know who he was, he said the worst things to Jaehwang. He basically insulted a god.
"Uh, what happened..."
He could not speak. It felt like there was a thunderstorm brewing in his mind. His trusted Sangman had a special force so he came along and got himself into this mess. Lee Sangman could not stand fully on his legs so he collapsed along with his bladder.
They just thought Jaehwang was an arrogant Debaucher who wanted to show off once, but the Master Archer... the World's Strongest Awakener...
Lee Sangman's eyes stared at his fainted son who was now being healed.
"Noob... Noob... Noob..."
The man who they had to be the most careful with in Korea, or rather, in the world, and could have been the future of them, the one who was currently at the height of humanity, the man who raised the Korean Hunter Secretariat's reputation to its peak...
Hunters from other countries would need to attack with an army to just catch one 8-tier monster where he could just destroy a 9-tier monster with ease. He was a man rewriting the history of the world of hunters as they know it.
His relationship with Jaehwang was no longer a possibility but the real concern for him and his son was their life.
If he was asked to choose the worst human being in the world today, he would pick his son without hesitation. Why did this stupid Jinhyun have to mess with him?
*thump, thump*
"You..."
The secretary's shoes stopped in front of him and he instinctively faced the ground.
"So... sorry."
No excuses came to his mind. Somehow, he had to create an excuse to get out of this situation, but his brain was already inactive.
"This probably won't end well..."
*Secretary grinding his teeth in anger*
He closed his eyes as he listened to the Secretary-General's voice.
"It's all finished."

After the minor clash with the Hunter Secretariat, Jaehwang stopped his raids for about a month and immersed himself in something else. He considered training to be very important, but the news of the completion of the welfare district being built in Gonggiri and the problem of selecting those who enter the welfare district occurred.
Inquiries were rushing in to find out about the welfare district. So much popularity for something that was built in the mountainous hillside village as some of them were willing to pay billions to buy the right to sell it.
The funny aspect was that the Welfare District was built around a nursery school which was part of the original plan. Rehabilitation and welfare facilities were included for children with disabilities and illness. However, a few more requests about them to include not only hospitals, schools, but also various recreational facilities including residential facilities in Jaehwang's name.
Of course, there were ordinary people in the district. They accepted the families who originally lived in Gongirri along with the children who had a disability or incurable diseases as well as those who were living in extreme poverty. For those, about 10, 000 additional households were built for those who would live inside it.
To rule out government interference, it will be maintained purely by Jaehwang's funds.
The media had already announced the accepted residents in advance, but inquiries continued to flow in as if they thought that there were special exceptions.
Jaehwang has ordered to reject all inquiries. Irumi, the one who he instructed, mobilized a resident screening team, and for its general manager, she chose a very special person for that spot.
That man from the outside was very pleased with Irumi's proposal.
*Phone ringing*
Sitting at the desk where the phone was placed, a female employee stared at the monitor to check the number on the phone. She turned it off a few seconds later before going back to her work. This happened about three times before she finally answered it with a tired sigh.
"Hello, this is Shin-A-Ri, a member of the Resident Selection Team."
"Hello. My name is Jun-hee Han, and I'm the representative of the W group"
A man's low voice rang on the other side of the phone. They seemed to be concealing something and she was uncomfortable about it.
"Yes. Why did you call?"
"Yes. This would be an inquiry about the welfare district established in Cheongun-gun at this time..."
As expected, Cheongun-gun was the name of a district in Gunggiri. It was originally large but it became bigger with all the additional facilities built around it.
Ari shook her head and with a very clerical tone, she replied, "sorry, If you have any questions about the matter, you can find them on the site. The site address is..."
"Hahaha, I know the site address but this is what our VIP ordered..."
"Sorry. I can't tell that over the phone..."
When Shin Ari answered firmly, the tone of the other's voice began to rise.
"This is the W group secretary."
"Yes, I know but it's impossible because of our regulation..."
"Hahaha, you don't seem to understand me..."
She tried to reply in a firmer tone, but this man didn't get it.
There were quite a few people who don't understand that they cannot get their way. She gave up understanding her callers since she had a fixed procedure to follow anyway. Most of her inquirers were like this. They were the so-called privileged people of Korea... or their poor employees with sad salaries.
"Yes, secretary of W group Han. Jun. Hee... I'll connect you to the person in charge."
"Yes. Please. Ah! By the way, what's your name?"
Ari had already told him that when she answered the phone but that did not matter, he won't be calling again anyway.
"I am Shin Ari, a member of the Martial Arts House Resident Selection Team."
"Yes. Ms. Shin Ari. Okay."
It was obvious what her caller was thinking, but Shin Ari pressed the hold button with a skillful touch as their procedure had instructed.
... and shouted, "General manager, this is a VJ phone!"
The word VJ stood for VIP jerks.
As her cry rang in their spacious office, a middle-aged man, sitting at the desk in the middle of the room gave her a nod with a warm face.
"Please forward me the call."
"Yes!"
In response to his reply, Shin Ari forwarded the call to the general manager, and after a while, his phone rang. He picked up the phone, held it in his ear, and began to speak a few dozen times in a mechanical voice.
"Yes. This is Lim Jun-Seok, the team leader of the Martial Arts House Resident Selection Team and the Secretary-General of the Korean Hunter Secretariat."
"Yes? Yes? Hello?"
Han Jun-hee of the W group was perplexed.
He obviously called the weirdly-named department called the Resident Selection Team, but the person in charge of the call introduces himself as the Secretary-General of the Korean Hunter Secretariat.
"Yes, I can hear you, go on."
Secretary-General Lim Joon-Seok answered the call with a relaxed voice and pressed the button of the Gostop game on his monitor.
"No... that's..."
"Well, why did you call?"
"Oh, our VIP's inquiring about the welfare district in Chungwoon-gun, but I guess I'll check again..."
Han Jun-hee couldn't decide if he could ask the Secretary-General of the Korean Hunter Secretariat about his inquiry who unexpectedly answered the call. He was sure that he called the Martial Arts House, then why is the secretary-general on the line? If the other party is actually the secretary-general of the Korean Hunter Secretariat, he was in the honorable position to talk on a hotline with a big figure. No, even his VIP could barely be on this phone.
Secretary-General Lim Joon-Seok picked up the low point cards his opponent in Gostop left and pressed Go, and with a calm voice, he said, "Tell me your goddamn inquiry, asshole."
