Episode 86. Recruit Kim Jin-seong (1)
Kim Jin-seong looked surprised and carefully took Yong Han-gil’s hand and shook it.
Kim Jin-seong’s expression as he looked at Yong Han-gil contained so many emotions.
Surprise, shock, novelty, unrealistic feelings, etc.
But soon all those emotions disappeared, and only one emotion appeared on his face.
It was just a wonder.
‘This person…’ !’
Since my awakening, I have met many awakened people. Among them, the greatest hunters are Baek Jun and Jang Seung-wook, who are also here.
However, the Yong Han-gil before my eyes was truly a person whose name carried a different weight.
The Korean clan that people who are pursuing the path of a hunter in Korea most want to join.
‘And this person is the master of the first clan in Korea… .’
At that time, Yong Han-gil quietly opened his mouth.
“Try to take off the shackles.”
This time, Jang Seung-wook flinched at those words.
Seungwook Jang looked back at Baekjun with an expression of ‘What should I do?’, and Baekjun immediately nodded without any expression.
Jang Seung-wook immediately removed the hunter shackles on Kim Jin-seong’s wrists and ankles.
The moment when Kim Jin-seong’s mana suppression was completely released.
Suddenly, energy exploded from Yong Han-gil’s body.
“… … !!”
Kim Jin-seong, who was instantly engulfed by the energy of Yong Han-gil, opened his eyes wide.
Even though he had not expected it, the immense pressure pressing down on his entire body was enormous.
It felt like it would be difficult to breathe due to the strong pressure if I just stood there like this without doing anything.
Kim Jin-seong quickly raised his mana to full power and activated his magic energy.
Then, he surrounded his entire body with demonic energy and began to repel the force of Yonghangil.
But that was all.
‘Magic energy can no longer expand…’ !’
Because the pressure was so strong, it was impossible to push away the pressure and expand the area of the demon energy.
It was a situation where all he could do was to cover his entire body with a thin layer of demon energy.
It was then.
Yonghangil’s mana energy suddenly disappeared.
When I raised my head, I saw Yong Han-gil smiling while looking at Kim Jin-seong.
“He’s a special guy.”
Yong Han-gil opened his mouth as if nothing had happened.
Seeing that, Jinseong Kim unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
‘Whoa…’ !’
Yong Han-gil, unable to take his eyes off Kim Jin-seong, opened his mouth as if talking to himself.
“I think I know why everyone recommended him as an interesting guy.”
Afterwards, Yong Hyeon-gil glanced at Jang Seung-wook. Jang Seung-wook, who noticed right away, quickly put the shackles on Kim Jin-seong again.
When Jang Seung-wook was about to leave after filling everything, Yong Han-gil took something out of his pocket.
“Take it.”
Jinseong Kim took what he offered and checked it.
It was a business card.
“If you are thinking of coming to the New World, please contact me. Or you can contact me through Baekjun here.”
Kim Jin-seong looked at Yong Han-gil when he heard the words “New World.” It was such an unexpected statement.
“With you, I can create a position for my company in the New World.”
“… … !”
Kim Jin-seong’s eyes shook at those words.
Because I immediately understood what those words meant.
South Korea is one of the top ten hunter powerhouses in the world.
And the Daehan Clan was, in name and reality, the clan that represented Korea.
It was not because the Korean Clan had the most powerful hunters in Korea, nor because it was the most influential in Korea.
This was because they were the only Korean hunter clan established in the New World.
It was very difficult to survive as an independent clan in the New World, Selepo.
Currently, the number of clans established in the New World was less than one per country.
In fact, in Africa, each country gave up trying to survive independently and even created a separate African Union clan called AUHC (Africa Union Hunter Clan).
The Daehan Clan is still firmly standing in this hellish place.
He promised Kim Jin-seong that the master of the Daehan Clan could give him his place.
“Of course, that’s only after surviving to the end in survival.”
After speaking like that, Yong Han-gil turned his gaze to Baek Jun, as if he had finished what he wanted to say.
Baekjun, who saw that, said something.
“Take me to your dorm.”
“yes. “Please follow me.”
Jang Seung-wook walked out the door with Kim Jin-seong, who was still half-dazed.
As soon as the two closed the door and went out, Baekjun politely asked Yong Han-gil.
“Are there any contestants you would like to see more of?”
“Shinwoong? “I just want to see that person one more time.”
“All right.”
Baekjun immediately turned on the smartphone screen on his desk and sent a text message to Jang Seungwook.

At that time, Yong Han-gil spoke to him.
“Anyway, I’m sorry for coming to you so suddenly. “If she had known she was meeting Tak Nam-gyu, she would have come next time.”
“no. “This is a request from a senior, not someone else, so of course I have to help.”
Baekjun, who had just sent the message, responded politely.
“By the way, aren’t you going to contact Minister Tak this time?”
Yong Han-gil only informed Baek Jun that he had visited Korea. It was precisely at that time that the transport ships carrying the participants had just arrived at the Hunter Department building.
So Baek Jun returned here without telling Tak Nam-gyu the news about Yong Han-gil.
Baekjun had no choice but to cancel his lunch date with Tak Nam-gyu.
Yong Han-gil probably doesn’t know how hard it was for Baek-jun to refuse Tak Nam-gyu, who was somewhat disappointed, making excuses about his schedule.
If Yong Han-gil had informed Tak Nam-gyu that he had come to Korea, Baek Jun would not have had to suffer like this.
“I’m just going to come for a moment and then go back, so why bother? How annoying it would be if I got caught by that guy. “Rather than having a meal with government officials, there are more requests for events and advertisements.”
“ha ha ha… .”
“And then they’ll ask me which contestant I like. That’s the biggest reason. If you tell me, I’ll put pressure on you to catch him and go to the New World!”
As Yong Han-gil continued to speak, his expression gradually became more disapproving.
“The New World is a place where it is difficult to survive even if you cross over with your own will. Those who were forced to come over actually ended up badly. “Don’t you know this because you’ve experienced it too?”
“yes… .”
Baekjun answered briefly.
Baekjun also had a time when he was full of spirit. It was a time when he was talking about conquering the New Continent and restoring the world before the cataclysm.
In the end, I failed and returned to Korea.
‘That experience is why I’m helping you like I am now.’
Baekjun did not dare to express his inner thoughts out loud.
* * *
“… Haam.”
Kim Jin-seong woke up from a deep sleep and stretched out on the spacious king-size bed.
‘I fell asleep like I fainted.’
Kim Jin-seong looks around with blank eyes.
A spacious room came into view.
It was room 2901, the best suite room in the Colosseum Hotel.
There was nothing luxurious about the facilities, furniture, decorations, etc.
The same was true of the bed he was currently sleeping in. Maybe it’s because the pillow and mat were so good that even though I only slept for a few hours, I felt like I was almost completely relieved of all the fatigue from staying up all night for 24 hours yesterday.
‘Is it okay to stay in a nice bedroom like this for a week? .’
I’ve gotten used to it now, but when Jang Seung-wook first brought me here, I felt a bit of pressure because I wasn’t used to it.
To Kim Jin-seong, Jang Seung-wook said this.
– You can think of it as a small consideration for this season’s most popular star.
‘… What can I do? ‘You should enjoy it.’
Kim Jin-seong immediately got out of bed and headed to the kitchen. He then took out his bottled water from the refrigerator and started drinking it.
The water was worth over 10,000 won per bottle. Of course, Kim Jin-seong could not feel any difference.
‘What time is it? … It’s already almost 7 o’clock.’
It was time for Jinseong Kim to check the antique clock hanging on the wall.
A ding-dong-dong notification sound came from the speaker on the ceiling.
Afterwards, a very familiar voice began making announcements.
[We will deliver an announcement to all Colosseum Survival participants. A celebration party for participants will be held shortly at 7 PM.]
‘A party?’
[This party will be enjoyed not only by the participants, but also by very special guests who have come to see the participants.]
‘If there are guests… It seems to be the same as the previous season’s party that I saw on TV before.’
[This is an event prepared with great care by the production team, so you can look forward to it. Then, I’ll see you at the party at 7 PM.]
And so the announcement ended.
‘It’s a special guest… .’
Kim Jin-seong put his hand into his pants pocket and took out the business card he had received from Yong Han-gil.
What is certain is that no matter what guest I meet today, there will be none more special than Yong Han-gil.
Jinseong Kim thought so to himself.
* * *
That time.
The large banquet hall on the second floor, where the celebration party was held, was crowded with numerous ‘special guests’ who had already arrived.
Everyone seemed to know each other, and they seemed to be gathered in small groups, greeting each other, and chatting lightly.
“Hello, Master Hyeoncheol Hyeon.”
“uh? “Isn’t it Park Jin-woong?”
A thin young man named Park Jin-woong and a middle-aged, sturdy man named Hyun Hyeon-cheol also greeted each other warmly.
“Are you here too? “It must have been a long time waiting for the admission ticket.”
“But how can you miss such a great opportunity when you make a living by selling to hunters?”
“Hahaha, that’s right! “You can’t be such an idiot and throw away an opportunity like this just because it’s expensive!”
“Master, will you be able to find a lot of good properties for sale this time? “The overall level is so high this time, wouldn’t it be a great deal to bring just one mercenary?”
“I thought so too at first, but I think it might be a bit difficult. “Look over there.”
Park Jin-woong turned his gaze to where Hyun Hyeon-cheol pointed with his chin.
“… what?”
His eyes widened.
Near the center of the grand banquet hall, there were two men who received a lot of attention from other people.
The faces of the two men, who appeared to be at least in their 60s, looked very familiar to Park Jin-woong.
“Oh Byeong-guk… ? And hardliners?”
“okay.”
Hyun Hyeon-cheol nodded.
“Masters from two of the four major hunter clans came to visit us in person.”
If you were to name all the hunter clans that represent South Korea, there are probably 4 clans out of 10.
Daehan, the best clan in Korea in name and reality.
BK Clan, currently ranked 3rd in the Hunter hierarchy, has Oh Byeong-guk as its master.
The K3 clan is currently ranked 4th in the hunter hierarchy, with Kang Kyung-kwon as the master.
And the Baekdu Clan was founded by Hong Seong-heun, who was the second-highest hunter in the rankings, but recently retired from active duty due to illness due to aging.
‘If this is the case, virtually all clans that the Master can move are present, right?’
This is because Daehan Clan Master Yong Han-gil lives in the New Continent, and Baekdu Clan Master Hong Seong-heun is so ill that outside activities are impossible.
“This is truly amazing. A party like this has been held every season in the past, but this is the first time that the masters from those two clans came to visit in person.”
“That’s what I’m saying. “A master from one of the four major clans came to visit me in person, so do you think I can compete?”
“No, it’s possible.”
Jinwoong Park shook his head.
“Master, you just need to lower the level of recruiting opponents a little. Would you really mess with small children when the 4th clan master himself came here? At the very least, only people like Kim Jin-seong and Shin Woong will touch it.”
“That’s true, but… .”
“You didn’t come here to target Kim Jin-seong’s property for sale, did you?”
“Hey, he wasn’t even thinking.”
Hyun Hyeon-cheol shook his head. A superstar like Kim Jin-seong has already become too well-known for a small or medium-sized clan to capture.
“Anyway, why did the Master come in person? It wouldn’t matter if I just sent the sales manager directly like in the previous season… .”
That was when Park Jin-woong looked so curious with a puzzled expression.
Suddenly, an unusually loud murmur was heard from the entrance.
“… uh! “This is Hong Hyun-jin.”
At Hyun Hyeon-cheol’s words, Park Jin-woong’s head automatically turned towards the entrance.
A beautiful woman walks in with a haughty gait, receiving all the attention of the guests at the entrance.
It was Hong Hyeon-jin, the eldest daughter of Hong Seong-heun, the former master of the Baekdu Clan, and the deputy master of the Baekdu Clan.
“… oh!”
The moment she saw Oh Byeong-guk and Kang Gyeong-kwon, she also widened her eyes with a surprised expression.
“hello? For some reason, the two of you came here… ?”
The sight of Hong Hyun-jin immediately lowering his arrogant posture and bowing politely as he asks.
She knows Oh Byeong-guk and Kang Kyung-kwon better than anyone else. Therefore, she knows better than anyone else what it means for the two of them to attend in person.
Oh Byeong-guk smiled mysteriously.
“I guess you haven’t heard the news.”
“yes? what… .”
“You’re coming at the right time.”
Oh Byeong-guk said this while looking towards the entrance where Hong Hyun-jin walked in.
Hong Hyun-jin turned his head and looked that way,
“… … !!”
Soon my eyes began to widen.
A tall person who walks in with everyone’s eyes on him, probably taller than 190cm.
Hong Hyun-jin knew very well the identity of the young man with a slightly Middle-Eastern appearance.
‘Nawaf?!’
Nawaf.
Al Saud, the undisputed strongest clan in Saudi Arabia.
Nawaf, the representative of the Korean branch of Al Saud, the most powerful clan in the Middle East, has now appeared at the party.
