The hunter leaders from each country all froze up.
They didn't expect Ho Sung Lee to come off so strongly.
They were also shocked by the fact that his spirit was much more powerful than they could've imagined.
And of course, the latter was more shocking to them.
Ho Sung Lee was someone who only remained in the hunter leaders' memories as the head of a small clan.
Even when the towers appeared, he was simply assisting Min Sung Kang as he had no influence on his own.
So how could such a person have so much vigor now?
The hunter leaders felt so much pressure that they found it hard to breathe, but they tried their best not to make it show.
And in Ho Sung Lee's eyes, the hunter leaders looked pathetic.
Although the hunter leaders were once so high up that no human could look them in the eye, they now looked pathetic more than ever.
They had no power, yet they refused to give up their positions.
Their behavior made Ho Sung Lee boil inside, but he quickly calmed himself down.
He had no reason to express his rage.
The Ho Sung Lee of the Diamond Clan was in the past, and right now, he called upon the hunter leaders as Min Sung Kang's representative.
Ho Sung Lee didn't forget that he had to educate the humans for not knowing their place.
"Why are you acting out when you don't even have the ability to fight? I just told you that the world doesn't need you. What can you do? All of you put together don't stand a chance against me. If you don't believe me, check for yourselves, right now."
Ho Sung Lee spoke with a smile.
The hunter leaders exchanged glances with stiff faces.
Ho Sung Lee smirked at them.
"You have no idea, do you? I don't think you know the real reason why I'm representing Min Sung Kang."
Ho Sung Lee gathered more of his Aura.
The hunter leaders' faces began to change dramatically.
The killer energy of the Aura caused slight damage to the mind. And the stronger it got, the more harm it caused.
As a result, stress and anxiousness were natural effects.
"The reason why I'm representing Min Sung to establish a balance is only to prevent chaos. I'm not here expecting to gain anything. But if you come off in such an uncooperative way..."
Ho Sung Lee took out his Death Knight sword from his item window.
And from the dark Death Knight Sword, an Aura capable of ripping through the air flowed out.
Ho Sung Lee threw that sword down upon the table.
Bang!
The table shattered to pieces while the Death Knight sword stabbed into the ground.
"Not I'm contemplating what I should do with you. Like I said, I'm willing to accept the bad image. I'll take all of the responsibility and own up to it. But what if I do? What does that change? What can you possibly do without relying on Min Sung Kang?"
Ho Sung Lee wasn't entirely sure if it was okay to come off this strongly, but the important thing was bringing them down.
There was no other way to cut down the hunter leaders' arrogance without getting into any trouble.
"Look here, Russian hunter leader."
The Russian hunter leader lifted his pale face and looked at Ho Sung Lee.
"It sounds like you have a lot of complaints. But what are you going to do about it? Convince me. What can you do that's better than what Min Sung Kang can do for the world? In my eyes, you're worthless."
The Russian hunter leader kept his mouth closed.
The biggest reason was that he was afraid he would get his face punched by Ho Sung Lee if he said anything wrong, and the Aura that he gave off was too powerful, to begin with.
The fact that he was once nothing but a clan leader in Korea was long forgotten in the hunter leadres' minds.
Ho Sung Lee's eyes went from the Russian hunter leader to the American hunter leader, Ethan.
"Image? World economy? Do you really think that's important? We have no interest in it whatsoever."
Ho Sung Lee put a cigarette in his mouth and spoke to Ethan.
Ho Sung Lee felt it as well.
He was acting like a thug, but what else could he do?
Even if they were at the top, he was much stronger, and doing what one was capable of doing on their own was to be expected.
That was the decision made by the most powerful country.
And Ho Sung Lee believed that as long as Min Sung Kang was Korean and wanted to continue living in Korea, Korea was the most powerful country.
Money wasn't important.
Power and strength were bound to rule over all.
Money was simply something that went with the flow of power.
That was why he believed that what he needed to do was establish a type of balance with the hunter leaders.
Ho Sung Lee took out his Death Knight sword from the ground and walked toward Ethan.
"Since it has come to this, it's not like we can just end it here. We should settle this once and for all. Let me ask you a question, Ethan.
Ho Sung Lee threw out his cigarette and continued, "Why do you keep acting out?"
"..."
Ho Sung Lee looked at Ethan. He glared at him and smiled.
"Another question. Why do I have to keep you alive after how you've been harassing Min Sung? If you don't answer, you'll die right here. I promise you that."
Ho Sung Lee put his Death Knight sword against his shoulder and asked.
Ethan's pupils shook.
"Did we tell you we'd get rid of America or get rid of any other country? My only role is to stop you from causing chaos within the society. I'm here to stop you from causing a societal commotion. But you don't want to come to a settlement, and I understand why you're anxious. But what gives you the guts to do that?"
"As long as Korea is powerful, if you one day decide to do something bad..."
"If we do, what are you going to do about it? Can you stop us?"
"..."
"Why are you going around stirring shit up if you can't even do anything, you useless bastards? Do you want to die?"
"..."
"Okay, let's try that again. Why do I have to keep you alive? Tell me, " asked Ho Sung Lee.
"The hunter leaders of each country are the key to military power..."
"For your country, would it be better for you to die or for Korea, where Min Sung resides, to be irritated?"
"..."
"Okay, again. Why do you have to stay alive?"
"Those with power shouldn't commit inhumane acts that go against..."
"Oh yeah? I think you need a beating, Ethan."
Ho Sung Lee threw aside his Death Knight sword and swung his fist at Ethan's face.
Ji Yoo Kim sprung up out of shock, but it was too late.
It was after Ho Sung Lee had already punched Ethan in the face.
Along with a large thudding noise, Ethan fell over backward in his chair.
The eyes of the hunter leaders shook, but not a single person could get up from their seat.
That was how powerful Ho Sung Lee's presence was.
"Shut it with the nonsense. Hey! Stop saying the same old thing or I'll kill you."
Ho Sung Lee felt true rage.
Just looking at Ethan, who attempted to taint Min Sung Kang's image and tried to control the media, made him tremble with anger.
But he had to stop since it could make things harder for Min Sung Kang if he made things escalate further.
Ho Sung Lee sighed. He returned to his seat and sat down.
While the table was destroyed and Ethan was on the ground, the hunter leaders glanced at each other with tense faces.
"As you know, I'm from the rough streets, so I don't know how to put things lightly. I tried, but it's not working."
Ho Sung Lee smiled bitterly.
"Hey, Russian hunter leaders, bring me that whiskey, " instructed Ho Sung Lee.
In response, the Russian hunter leader glanced at the others, but once he saw Ho Sung Lee's lowered gaze, he gulped and brought him the bottle of whiskey.
Ho Sung Lee gulped it down before glaring at the Russian hunter leader who stood beside him.
"Sit, you little shit. Do you have to go piss or something?"
In response, the Russian hunter leader sat down.
Ho Sung Lee let out a long sigh.
It felt as though a storm passed through the meeting room.
In the midst of the silence, Ho Sung Lee looked at the hunter leaders with tired eyes and opened his mouth.
"Let me say this one more time. If you try to taint Min Sung Kang's image again or do anything to get on my nerves, I won't just sit back and do nothing. This is an order, so listen carefully. Unless you want to go to the afterlife..."
Ho Sung Lee spoke in a low voice, but not a single hunter leader misunderstood.
"I'm going to announce that the hunter organizations all over the world will be controlled from now on. If you're confident, go ahead and try to resist. But I won't talk another word about it."
Ho Sung Lee got up from his seat.
As for the hunter leaders, they continued to look shocked, and they sat with blank faces.
Ho Sung Lee stepped over the broken table and walked toward Ethan, who laid on the ground with a swollen face.
"Did you hear me?" Ho Sung Lee asked Ethan.
Ethan kept his mouth shut as the other hunter leaders were watching, but he changed his mind.
Ho Sung Lee was waiting for his answer.
Since he could get more hurt if he let his pride get in the way, he dropped his head for the sake of the atmosphere.
He felt as though he could lose his neck if he rebelled, and what he said made sense.
If Ho Sung Lee was willing to take the fall, Min Sung Kang had no reason to be afraid.
And if that was really to happen, he had to lay low.
"Answer me. Do you understand?" Ho Sung Lee asked with an expressionless face.
"Yes, Sir."
Ethan answered with his eyes to the ground.
