I Will Save the World and Retire Chapter 269

Meeting (3)

-How have you been? I haven’t heard from you in a while!

“Oh, yeah… I’m a little busy.”

-You were busy? Oh, I see.

Cheon Ijun.

A hunter from Taiwan.

She is married to Australian hunter Oliver Hope and works mainly in Australia with her husband. They have one child, a son.

Alex Hope is considered one of the most promising young players to lead the next generation in Australia.

Alex Hope has been getting a lot of attention since he awakened and started his career as a hunter. This is because he has a striking appearance and decent skills.

To be honest, I wasn’t free enough to check on a hunter who was active on the other side of the world. But Alex Hope was also friendly with Gamble of Paros… No, I can’t say we were simply friendly. We were almost like siblings.

Even if Alex Hope had hidden his skills, it would have been known because of his relationship with Gamble. Especially with his looks. But I’ve never heard of it. Why? Did Alex Hope deliberately stay quiet? Did Noah Michel make him do it?

Anyway.

Whether he’s Australia’s rising star or a friend of the century’s greatest magical engineer, Alex Hope has a rather troubling history.

Not human.

Well, the body is said to be human, but there are differing opinions as to whether the core is also human. What did Hope say?

‘Huh? Well, human, I guess?’

According to Alex Hope’s testimony, who is not even sure about himself, Tian Yijun entered the dungeon carrying a small, newly conceived cell.

A wicked fairy took possession of that small cell, which had naturally been lost due to the influence of the magic within the dungeon.

‘The poor fairy thought… maybe this was her last chance.’

The fairy gambled to escape the dying dungeon, but fortunately or unfortunately, the gamble paid off spectacularly. The monsters inside the dungeon turned into humans and came out of the dungeon.

If it were a movie, this would have been the introduction. This caused a disaster that was like a time bomb to mankind, and when mankind realized it too late, the world was headed toward destruction… .

Just before I came back to the past, Hollywood was making such B-movies. They were not sparing any investment, so it was fun to watch American cities blowing up one after another on the screen.

Of course, the perfection is secondary, and the movie has a main character. If it were a director with a maniacal taste, the world would have ended anyway… but most of them sing of dreams and hope. Nevertheless, humanity regains hope. Usually through the main character.

If it were a movie, that would be the case.

But this wasn’t a movie. It was more cinematic than a movie, and it sounded like nonsense that would annoy anyone who heard it.

In this shitty reality, the monster who became human was touched by his mother’s love.

I am not denying the feeling of love. There is more to love in the world than just erotic love.

I know how unconditional support and affection can change a life.

So… yeah. I can understand Alex Hope. I hated it because I could understand it. It made me feel like I was on the same level as those monsters.

The woman who had unknowingly influenced the monster narrowed her eyes and looked at Gamble.

-Sandra, you got a job in Korea? I was surprised when I heard that from Shanshan.

“Ah yes….”

-Are you keeping in touch with your father?

“Yes, yes… Of course.”

It’s too oriental for an Australian and an American to be speaking English.

-How could you not even tell me… . You even joined that guild!

That guild?

– How is Mr. Hong in real life? I saw him from afar a few years ago when I came to Australia. He’s a great guy, but he doesn’t seem like a very good person to work with.

“Yes… Lee Jun. Over there. But.”

-It’s really annoying to have someone like that as your boss. I’m in a position where I shouldn’t be saying this since I’m running a guild myself.

“… Lee Jun? Hey, Shan Shan is.”

-You always have to be alert so that doesn’t happen.

“Yes… hahaha.”

Gamble looked at us as he answered Cheon Ijun’s words. Hong Seok-young was smiling faintly with his arms crossed.

From the camera angle, it seemed like we weren’t visible to Tian Yijun, but I could see his face.

White face, black hair. He looks so young that it’s hard to believe he has a child over twenty years old.

Unlike his son, his beautiful face with an elegant feel made him seem more like an actor than a hunter who was quite famous in Australia. It was clear who Alex Hope resembled.

-Our Shanshan came to see you a while ago. Didn’t she do anything weird again? Sandra, I know you love her a lot, but you have to scold her when you have to!

“yes….”

-Don’t just look at his face! He’s my son, but I gave birth to him so handsomely. Everyone falls for his face.

“yes…….”

-Sandra, what would have happened if you weren’t here?

Kim Chae-min covered her mouth. Her shoulders shook intermittently.

Gamble glared at Kim Chae-min, then shrugged his shoulders and answered Cheon Yi-jun’s words.

“Well, he’s come to his senses now and is working hard.”

-How old is he? That’s what he should do!

I couldn’t even find the original.

If you look at it this way, they are just ordinary parents. They worry about their child’s future, nag at him, and at the same time, they secretly brag about how great their child is.

Parental love is sacred and not something grand.

It was the first ordinary daily life a child could encounter. But for that monster… it was an experience that could turn the world upside down.

ah.

I really don’t want to understand.

-…Mom? Who are you talking to? Isn’t that my phone?

-Shanshan, I told you to straighten your hair and come out!

-You won’t die if you don’t wash your hair!

-Who does this person resemble?

-She’s pretty because she takes after her mother.

-… … Oh my, you wouldn’t be pretty if you couldn’t even speak. It’s Sandra’s phone call.

-Sandra?

A red hair suddenly appears in the camera. Hope receives the cell phone from Tian Yijun.

The phone screen darkened for a moment, and then a language other than English was heard. Considering Tian Yijun’s nationality, it was probably Taiwanese. The mother and son smiled slightly and talked softly.

Hope returned a little later and tilted her head to the side and asked.

-What’s going on all of a sudden? Is something wrong?

Hope frowned.

-It seems like it’s nothing serious since Sandra called at this early hour… .

Gamble blushed.

“What am I!!”

-For Sandra, isn’t it almost dawn now?

“That, that much… .”

-… … .

“… … .”

Gamble, who had been keeping his mouth shut, raised his head and handed me the cell phone.

“Do I know what’s going on?! Okay! The people who asked me to call you are here!”

That’s why people need to sleep well.

I looked at Gamble with a trembling look in my eyes and handed him the phone. Gamble grumbled and then flopped down on his chair. I thought he was going to go back to sleep, but it seemed he wasn’t that out of it.

Hope shrugged as her eyes met mine through the camera.

-What’s going on? Noah suddenly debuted as a singer?

“what?”

-Or is Henry finally jumping into the idol business?

“what?”

-Just kidding. Did Henry commit terrorism? I’m asking this because I’m genuinely concerned.

“… As far as I know, that has never happened.”

-Oh, then that’s fine. Good! If you go into a dungeon, you won’t be able to hear any news from outside, so even I would be worried.

Hope said with a completely unconcerned expression on her face.

-So, what’s going on?

* * *

-The dungeon I gave you? Oh, that one? What’s the standard?

Hope said, shaking her head.

-If I knew, I would have told you. I don’t know because that’s under the research lab over there.

“If you didn’t know, how did you know that it was a major dungeon that needed to be checked?”

-Some of them Sandra stole… . Some of them I talked about or did when I went to Noah or Henry? Noah would hide them from me, so I found out on my own.

Hope said indifferently.

-Henry doesn’t really care though.

“Henry Lehman? Weren’t you involved in the lab’s work?”

Henry Lehmann. Noah Michel’s… little toe or something, as reported by Alex Hope.

The Ark is a crazy organization where the leaders and executives are waiting for an opportunity to hit each other in the back of the head. However, that is why it is more unpredictable and dangerous. Even Henry Lehman, unlike Hope, is systematically running the criminal side of the Ark.

– Hmm… Maybe he’s just trying to annoy Noah? Even if he doesn’t actually do anything in the dungeon, Noah will be stressed just by Henry’s interest in the dungeon he cares about!

“How on earth is the ark rolling?”

-Because Noah is popular, there are many people who will work in his stead.

Ah. Like that.

-Henry is the kind of guy who has to do everything.

Hope continued speaking in a light tone.

-The dungeon in Myeongdong… was in a good location. It’s right in the middle of a big city like Seoul. If everyone’s attention is focused there, it’ll be easy to do something secretly, right?

“Are you saying that you intentionally blew up the dungeon?”

-I’m not sure about that. The system may have just started up because the power was all gone.

Hope rocked back and forth. He just couldn’t keep still.

“Okay. Then what about the room transfer dungeon?”

-Room…what?

“A dungeon with even the foxes drawn so beautifully.”

-… Did I draw a fox?

Hope opened her eyes wide and blinked slowly.

-Why did I do that?

“Why did you do that?”

-Yeah… Yeah, I guess so.

Hope, who was moving her body awkwardly again, finally opened her mouth.

-That’s… a dungeon that requires special management. Noah kept an eye on it as soon as it appeared.

“for a moment.”

Hong Seok-young, who had been deliberately not joining the conversation, interrupted Hope.

“I had it before.”

-huh?

“The dungeon that the fox appears in occurred on the day that the Myeongdong dungeon break occurred.”

I couldn’t guess what Hong Seok-young was trying to say.

Fortunately, it wasn’t just me, as Kim Chae-min had the same expression on her face as I did. Gamble was nodding off in his chair.

“After that, our people took possession of the dungeon and started watching it.”

-Yes?

“That dungeon wasn’t under our surveillance for… at most, a month. Since then, we’ve been checking who approaches. None of them have been unidentified.”

As dungeon management was transferred to the government, the government confirmed when a dungeon was reported. There was even an employee who came to check the Bangi-dong dungeon.

“But how did Ark find out about that dungeon? How did he become interested in that dungeon? What kind of potential did he discover in that dungeon in just one month?”
