The Hunter of the Other World Who Is Being Misunderstood Chapter 220

Episode 220. Knockout Tournament (7)

A Korean S-class who is presumed to be a defense-type hunter.

Of course, this country already has one of the S-class ones with a strong body like a black tortoise.

But honestly, it wasn’t a bad thing because I had a lot of strength.

‘If the proposal is successful, I’ll give him some neglected area to take care of.’

China is the country with the smallest number of S-class Hunters per unit of land area, next only to Russia.

There existed a monster wasteland in the country, the so-called Dead Land.

It would be difficult to solve the problem on our own with only the S-class Chinese players we have now, so it might be a good idea to bring in a suitable naturalized hunter while we’re at it.

“Oh, I understand. I will take care of both the tea and food you ordered right away.”

Zhan was so impressed by Kim Ki-ryeo’s performance that he decided to offer him special naturalization.

But even if this goes down the drain, nothing really changes.

No matter how great that Korean’s skills are, the winner of the game has already been decided.

‘The chronic problem of defense-type hunters is that they are relatively slow and their attacks are not sharp.’

If it’s a special match necklace with a rigged strength, it can withstand several direct hits from Kim Ki-ryeo.

Besides, he had the Chinese government at his back, so he had many other means at his disposal.

‘To relieve some of my energy. In the match right before the finals, I should give that Hunter as many S-class attacks as possible in succession.’

The announcement that the bracket would be determined by lottery is also false.

As Kim Ki-ryeo performed well in the game, the only thing that stood out was the Chinese hero who would later defeat him.

That Korean was an excellent stepping stone for raising China’s status.

Zhan went to meet Kim Ki-ryeo with such a confident and carefree attitude.

Boom boom boom!

“hmm?”

But this time.

Suddenly, someone burst into the hotel room, yanking the door open.

This person, with cold sweat pouring down his face and a pale complexion like a lion on a winter day, is the senior awakened member of the Invincible Guild.

“Z, Zhan! That’s it. I’ll deliver it to you urgently… …!”

He was Zhan’s subordinate.

But I wondered what he was talking about when he came in so suddenly.

“Ha, I just contacted you because I heard you were going to eat at the Korean waiting room. That, that yellow-haired salesman… ”

“Why Kim Ki-ryeo?”

“I left the stadium! There’s no one in the waiting room.”

hmm?

Not only Zhan, but also the Chinese people in the hotel were confused at the same time.

So now is the official lunch time arranged by the organizers.

When Kim Ki-ryeo looked for it, it wasn’t in the waiting room…

In other words, you left your seat?

‘Did you go out to eat something else because the lunch box we prepared didn’t suit your taste?’

‘Well, they did save some money on that side… … .’

Groan, groan.

Event attendees turned their heads momentarily and looked at each other.

However, the stadium was built on a site that was as far from the city center as possible for safety reasons, so you’ll have to go quite a distance to find an outside restaurant.

“Then, do you know which restaurant Kim Ki-ryeo is in now… … ?”

It was a time when all sorts of thoughts came to mind.

“That’s not it!”

The subordinate with a pale complexion opened his eyes wide and shouted again.

“It really seems like he’s giving up on the game and planning to leave the country. His cell phone is turned off, and more importantly, the citizens of Tianjin saw the Korean moving towards the dungeon artifact!”

Then, Chinese officials belatedly got up in droves.

“give up?”

“You give up?”

“Are you saying you will not play in any future matches?”

This is absurd.

Of course, this event doesn’t have any specific penalty for abstaining (it would be ridiculous to have a penalty fee when they offered prizes to get you to come in the first place).

No matter what, if an S-class abstention comes out, the situation will be different!

“What the hell are you thinking?!”

One of the judges of the Yellow Dragon Hall was shocked and his blood ran red.

The event had significant differences in prize money and rewards based on ranking.

Since the opponent was an S-class hunter, he could have easily gotten a big prize by trampling on the A-class and climbing up just a few steps.

No, of course, the lower ranked items are less valuable than [Item Box (Rare)].

If you really only consider the efficiency per hour, it is advantageous to forfeit after one win, but even so, S-class is like this… .

How could someone as great as an S-class hunter do something like this?

“Is that why you want to hide your abilities? Ha! This is it. You’re not showing off even one of my skills!”

They couldn’t tell in this place.

In fact, the blonde man was a fake S-class with a shallow foundation that was enough to elicit sympathy.

The only tactic I had was the endurance technique I mentioned earlier, and even [Sacred Tree Sapling] had a limit where the effect would end immediately if a certain amount of damage was accumulated.

The room was thrown into chaos for a moment at the news that Kim Ki-ryeo had left the stadium.

“stop.”

But there was still one person in this place who maintained his composure.

“Everyone, calm down.”

Zhan, China’s representative hunter.

He continues speaking with the same calm smile on his face as always.

“Well, since this Zhan is standing strong in the Hwangryongjeon, I understand why he got scared and ran away.”

“Ha, ha… … . That’s true, but… … .”

“But this is definitely not moral. To be honest, we are close enough to not even see each other on days like today, so isn’t it heartless to just walk away like that?”

What followed was a cold declaration from a strong man with a warm face.

“Let’s start by banning departure from the country.”

Zhan’s remark made his subordinate look surprised.

But the man’s opinion does not change.

“If we take measures to prevent him from leaving China, he will be helpless.”

“ah……!”

“After catching his ankle, all you have to do is somehow bring him back to the stadium. Set up the afternoon game as early as possible as a Grade A match.”

“All right!”

“If you say my name, we will proceed immediately.”

I thought he was a decent awakener for a foreigner, but he did such an absurd thing.

Zhan doesn’t seem too flustered even after hearing that the contestant ran away.

As a representative hunter who was no different from the symbol of the country, he had the power to bring down even birds within China.

If it was a matter of importance to the success or failure of the event, it would have been possible to do something as outrageous as close down all the airports and ports in Tianjin with a single phone call.

“Z, Zhan… … .”

But how did this happen?

The face of the awakened person who contacted the State Bureau of the Chinese Public Security Ministry on the orders of his superiors soon became as ugly as a corpse with dried blood.

“that is…….”

Shiver shiver.

What followed was a report of some kind, spoken in a trembling voice.

“I just checked with you… … Kim Ki-ryeo doesn’t use the general airport history… … .”

“hmm?”

“I heard that Kang Chang-ho’s private plane… … went out through the Business Aviation Center… … .”

Business Aviation Center.

This is the name of a recently built separate facility for the private planes of business owners and other wealthy individuals.

As it is mainly used by VIPs with different levels of wealth from the general public, it has many differences from a regular airport.

And the biggest advantage of all is the quick immigration process.

Unlike the usual case where you have to arrive and wait at least 3 hours before the departure of the aircraft to be screened.

There, the departure process could be completed in as little as 10 minutes.

“Oops. Oh, there was that… … .”

Zhan, who had been touching his forehead with a small sigh, spoke after a few seconds of silence.

“……for a moment.”

After thinking about it carefully, I realized that there was something strange about the news my subordinate delivered.

“Did you just say ‘Kang Chang-ho’s private plane’?”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

“… … Does that mean that Kang Chang-ho also left China? Come to think of it, you said earlier that the Korean waiting room was empty… … . Wait a minute. I’ll check again. Could it be that both Kim Ki-ryeo and Kang Chang-ho left the country, meaning that they gave up the game at the same time?”

In response to Zhan’s urgent question, a low-ranking hunter bursts into a cold sweat and finally gives his confirmation.

“yes…….”

The shocking truth is finally revealed.

Yes, that’s right.

In fact, the reward that Kang Chang-ho wanted from this event was [Item Box (Rare)].

-What I want is a completely different item. That item is semi-essential to illegal trade, so it’s hard to find it on the black market.

A magic pouch containing secret spaces was like a drop of rain to traders who were sly.

-We probably won’t face each other in the match, but… … .

So, Kang Chang-ho told Kim Ki-ryeo from the moment he entered China that the chances of them meeting in the match were low.

Why? Because the event here wouldn’t have had strong players from the first round, if only to show the faces of S-class players at least once more.

He had been considering a withdrawal after the first round from the beginning.

[Dragon’s Eye] As a result of the observation, when it was concluded that there was nothing worth noting inside the IHT stadium, we immediately attempted to leave the country.

In fact, Kang Chang-ho himself expected that he would experience difficulties around this stage.

Contrary to their fears, the middle-aged Chinese man in charge of immigration graciously allowed them to escape.

-Oh my, why all this… … .

-Koreans are impatient and can’t wait well. But I’m personally grateful that the review was done so quickly.

What do the common people know about the trivial entertainment events of the Awakened?

There’s a VIP dangling a tip of thousands of yuan right in front of you. Of course not.

“… … .”

Shocking silence.

All of this happened because China could not have imagined that there would be an S-class hunter who would run away after only taking the basic reward within an hour of the start of the match, and so failed to prepare for the incident in advance.

Zhan, who had grasped the situation, opened his mouth again after a brief silence.

“You damn Korean bastards who are going to behead people with these f*cking clubs, how can you be such a bastard─────!”

The curses he spits out with a crumpled face, as if his gentle impression from before were a lie.

But it’s not like I can turn around someone else’s private plane that has already taken off.

When the S-class of South Korea returned to Korea.

Zhan wanted to hold you responsible for ruining the event, even if it was late.

-You said you can’t give me the item box because I left the stadium without permission?

But China didn’t want to give those perverted fugitives what they wanted.

Unfortunately, Zhan’s blood pressure, once it had risen, did not fall again, at least not within this week.

This is because when the Chinese side tried to apply pressure, Kang Chang-ho, a Korean S-class hunter, said this through his interpreter.

-Okay. If you don’t want to give it to me, then don’t give it to me. We haven’t broken a single one of the event rules you set, but if you don’t want to do it that much, then do as you wish.

-… … .

– Of course, starting with the 2nd IHT, China will be called a world-class robber country that withholds payment of goods by creating new rules that were not announced in advance, but what can we do?

-… … .

-You said you wanted it.

-… … .

-It’s okay. Do whatever you want. We don’t even need to receive an item box.

And so, China’s first superpower tournament ended with an unprecedented turn of events.

Zhan took three days of sick leave for the first time since awakening.
