Ho Sung Lee, who was keeping an eye on the monster in nervousness, was so in shock that he simply blinked with his jaw dropped.
Along with Bowl's snicker, the undead devils grew distant before disappearing into the ground or wall.
Ho Sung Lee gulped and looked back at Bowl.
He was sweating buckets.
"Pick up the item, son of a bitch. You don't have to give this to Master. You eat it."
Bowl then rode on his shadow board and spun around Ho Sung Lee.
"Huh? Oh, okay! Thanks."
Ho Sung Lee picked up the item on the ground while dripping in sweat.
'Damn it... '
He felt deeply ashamed while picking up the item from the ground.
Ever since he was able to make devils into the undead, Bowl became more powerful than ever before.
It no longer seemed like he could catch up to Bowl's fighting ability.
Ho Sung Lee hung his head in disappointment and followed Bowl.
Thanks to Bowl, they managed to leave the tower safely, but on the inside, Ho Sung Lee felt helpless.
***
He got into the water with Bowl.
Since they were once late, Bowl dragged Ho Sung Lee on his shadow board.
As a result, Ho Sung Lee was able to get to shore safely without having to swim.
"Thanks for your help, Bowl."
Ho Sung Lee expressed his gratitude to Bowl. He squeezed out water from his clothes and then looked around.
There were hunters all over the assembly.
"What's going on here?"
The atmosphere had changed.
It could be sensed that the vibe of the assembly was completely different from before.
Ho Sung Lee thought strangely of this before he remembered Min Sung's command.
He had a feeling that Min Sung Kang wouldn't let him get away with being late again.
Ho Sung Lee hurried to find the car.
"... Huh?"
He opened his mouth and rubbed his eyes.
"Why isn't it here?"
Ho Sung Lee knitted his brows.
He didn't see the car that was supposed to be there.
The fast Lafararri was nowhere to be seen.
"What's wrong?
Bowl looked up at Ho Sung Lee and asked.
"Our car's not here. Why isn't it here?"
Ho Sung Lee scratched his head in frustration and then went to the hunters at the assembly to ask where it went.
"Did you see the car that was over there?"
Ho Sung Lee asked.
One of the hunters knew who Ho Sung Lee was and what happened to his car.
He was a witness.
"Samchunkyo hunters came. 7 of them came to take the positions of the commanders, and one of those Samchunkyo hunters rode the car away."
In response, Ho Sung Lee showed a shocked response and took out the keys from his pocket.
"But the key's right here..."
"He was skilled. He unlocked the car and started it using some wires."
Ho Sung Lee closed his eyes shut.
The stress he had been bottling up inside surfaced, and that made his head ache.
"You don't know where he went, do you?"
The hunter shook his head.
"Okay, thank you."
Ho Sung Lee bowed in greeting and then sighed deeply.
"Bowl, can you find him?"
Ho Sung Lee looked down at Bowl and asked.
Bowl showed no response.
He was already using one of his dark magic to find the car.
Ho Sung Lee watched Bowl in silence.
A moment later.
Bowl pointed in front of him with his narrow bone finger.
"That way. Follow me, son of a bitch."
Bowl rode his shadow board and led the way.
Ho Sung Lee clenched down on his teeth.
'I hope nothing's wrong... !'
***
One of the 7 Samchunkyo hunters.
He was a man with narrow eyes, curly and long hair, and a thin physique.
Wang Wei banged the door shut and got out of the car.
He then got on the hood of the car and laid down.
"... I'm just going to take over the commander position and do nothing. I can't wait to fool around with the ladies and drink lots of alcohol, and no one's going to scold me for it. Snicker."
The assembly was bustling.
So he wanted to go to a quiet place and take a nap.
While he enjoyed the cold breeze, he sensed something that made him feel uncomfortable.
Wang Wei jolted his eyes open and got up.
He then looked toward one direction.
Something was approaching.
A moment later, a skeleton the size of a hand appeared.
Wang Wei looked at Ho Sung Lee and Bowl in front of him with an uncomfortable look on his face.
Ho Sung Lee was panting while grabbing his knees, and Bowl was staring at him with flames in his eyes.
"... Who are you?"
Wang Wei stared at Ho Sung Lee and Bowl and asked.
Ho Sung Lee caught his breath and waved his hand.
"Get off from there, " Ho Sung Lee said.
His language watch translated it for him.
Wang Wei sucked on his front teeth and then spat on the ground.
And the spit landed right in front of Ho Sung Lee's feet.
Ho Sung Lee stared at him as if he was insulted, and Wang Wei smiled and showed his yellow teeth.
"Is this your car?"
Wang Wei pointed at Ho Sung Lee and asked.
Ho Sung Lee's face grew red.
He was angry, but as long as he knew he was a Samchunkyo hunter, there was nothing he could do.
"It is, so please get down. We're in a hurry, " Ho Sung Lee responded in annoyance.
In response, Wang Wei took out a sword from his item window.
He spun the crude sword round and round.
"You don't seem to be from the assembly. Who are you? And what's that monster?"
Ho Sung Lee closed his eyes and sighed.
"The owner of that car is the Korean hunter, Min Sung Kang, and we're just here to run an errand..."
Wang Wei snickered.
"Oh, I've heard about that great Korean hunter. Apparently, he cleared up to the 9th floor of the tower. We checked the lights of the Black Tower."
Ho Sung Lee glared.
Seeing from his way of speaking, it didn't sound like he was going to back down easily.
Ho Sung Lee's head ached.
Since Bowl was there, they could handle any average hunter, but the man in front of him was a Samchunkyo hunter.
Not even Min Sung could attack him carelessly, and it didn't seem like Samchunkyo would just let that happen.
"Are you just going to stay there?"
In response to Ho Sung Lee's question, Wang Wei grimaced.
"Watch your tone."
Once Wang Wei got off the hood, Ho Sung Lee clicked his tongue and took out the Death Knight Sword from his item window.
Since he received a command from Min Sung Kang, he had to fight anyone that would get in his way.
Wang Wei smiled.
"You have guts, Korean man."
Wang Wei's sword gave off a blue Aura as it made swishing sounds.
Ho Sung Lee gulped.
What would happen if they faced off?
Just thinking about it made him nervous.
Wang Wei's force was unmatched.
He felt nervous at the thought that that sword could easily slice his body in half.
As soon as Wang Wei took a step forward.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
Dark figures appeared.
The three tall men wearing black robes surrounded Wang Wei.
"Heukrangdae..."
Wang Wei spoke softly with a bothered look in his eyes.
"We've been ordered to keep our hands off of anyone related to Min Sung Kang."
One of the three men in black robes spoke in a ringing voice.
In response, Wang Wei breathed sharply.
Ho Sung Lee, who was keeping an eye on Wang Wei, saw him put his sword back into his item window and let out a sigh of relief.
Wang Wei walked and stood in front of Ho Sung Lee.
Meanwhile, Heukrangdae was watching.
"I'll see you again soon."
In response, Ho Sung Lee laughed bitterly.
"Let me warn you. It' s best that you don't."
Wang Wei laughed.
"What?"
"I'm saying this for your own good. I've already seen people go down countless..."
Right before Wang Wei shot an Aura from his hand toward Ho Sung Lee.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
Heukrangdae appeared right in front of Wang Wei.
"Stop, " the three of them said simultaneously.
Wang Wei looked to the ground and laughed.
"Ugh, these bastards. You're so noisy."
Wang Wei spat on the ground and then laughed at Ho Sung Lee.
"See you around."
He then walked off.
As for Heukrangdae, they only disappeared once Wang Wei grew distant.
They left so quickly that it looked like they teleported.
As soon as they left, Ho Sung Lee looked at the car and sighed.
"Fuck, I can't believe I had the guts to face off against Samchunkyo. Wow. I can't believe this."
Ho Sung Lee clicked his tongue and walked toward the parked car.
Bowl followed behind him.
***
"We wasted a lot of time because of that thug."
Ho Sung Lee parked at a large market and got out of the car.
Bowl ran behind Ho Sung Lee. He climbed up his clothes and then sat on his shoulder.
"Get down, " Ho Sung Lee said while glaring, but Bowl pretended not to hear him and looked around.
Ho Sung Lee called Woong Jang as he entered the market.
Since he had already texted him, Woong Jang answered right away.
Hello, Ho Sung.
"Hello, Sir. I'm at the market now."
Ho Sung Lee walked toward the food corner while talking on the phone.
Since the market was big, he was able to get just about any food material he needed.
"I have to cook, but I was wondering what I can make that's easy and delicious. Oh, there's a Korean section! Wow, that's crazy. This place is great."
It's not like you only have to make one dish. You have to make all sorts of things.
"That's true."
First of all, you need a pack of eggs.
Ho Sung Lee bought what Woong Jang suggested.
Once he picked all of his materials, he went to find a frying pan and a pot.
Thanks to Woong Jang, he was able to finish his shopping in no time.
The only problem was that he bought so much that his item window was full.
He figured he could just go back one way or another and paid for his purchases.
