Episode 163. Danger
After a brief moment of reflection, a new sentence came from the direction of Brooklyn.
“why…….”
Knock knock.
Her injured arm seemed to have already recovered, for a warm glow lingered on the edge of her shoulder, and the bruises disappeared.
“Why are there other S-class hunters here… … .”
Brooklyn looked surprised when he saw Kang Chang-ho at the hotel.
But the shock didn’t last long.
‘I see.’
She previously analyzed the S-class gate strategy that appeared in Kagoshima.
At the time of Dragon Raid, the man in his 30s gave this interview to Japanese reporters.
[Kang, Why did you participate in the S-class raid? “To protect talent”]
[Kang Chang-ho said, “I am a bystander. Don’t expect any help.”]
He did not head to the eastern archipelago to kill the dragon.
As Kang Chang-ho himself revealed, he participated in the attack to protect Kim Ki-ryeo’s safety. However.
Why on earth do we need protection between S-class people?
“That’s interesting.”
She chose her words as she smoothed her messy hair.
“I thought your relationship only applied within the gates.”
But what came back wasn’t an explanation for the mystery. Kang Chang-ho looked at her indifferently and soon said,
“Wouldn’t it be a diplomatic problem if we behaved like this in another country?”
The American S-class looked even more surprised upon hearing this.
I never thought that someone who kicked a foreigner out of the blue would say something like that.
Of course, this is only Brooklyn’s opinion, and there were reasons why the Korean Awakeners took the lead.
“You don’t think I didn’t notice because the distance was too far, do you? If you knew what my eyes are, you wouldn’t say such a thing.”
“… .”
“You just tried to attack Hunter Kim Ki-ryeo, Brooklyn.”
Kang Chang-ho points to my eyes and interrogates me.
The [Dragon’s Eye] he possessed could also perceive the flow of magical power that occurred when preparing to attack.
However, that visual information is only visible to the owner, Kang Chang-ho.
What actually happened was that a Korean hunter assaulted an American celebrity.
“Hmm, I have no idea what you’re talking about… … Isn’t this the only thing that’s certain right now?”
Brooklyn said, staring at the green glow in his opponent’s pupils.
“I am now caught up in your wild behavior, and this will never be viewed positively by the international community.”
In objective data such as CCTV footage, Brooklyn is simply a victim.
But the other person’s reaction was also lukewarm. Kang Chang-ho soon continued the conversation without even blinking an eye.
“That’s right.”
But somehow, as this sentence flowed out, the veins on his arms began to twitch, acting like hydraulic pipes filled with liquid… … .
“But how can someone so smart not know that I don’t care about evaluations?”
The ensuing situation was not recognized by the F-class’s body vision.
To Kiriaga it just felt like there was an empty space, and then suddenly an explosion came from somewhere.
By the time the sound of the waves had dissipated and disappeared, the hotel’s meticulously maintained garden would have been turned upside down and turned into a mess.
Acrid dust billowing upwards. Broken pavement blocks flying at irregular angles.
In an instant, the scenery before my eyes turned into a battlefield.
Korea’s S-class hunter has attacked Brooklyn again.
“Ugh!”
Kiri closed his eyes, frowning at the oncoming storm.
By the time I straightened up, both S-classes had disappeared from sight.
The woman from America was unable to overcome the Hunter’s brute strength, who had awakened through physical enhancement, and was pushed back a full hundred meters, and Kang Chang-ho chased after her.
I allowed two first strikes, but there was no next time.
Brooklyn used his recovery skill on the hit spot and took a stance with the falling technique.
Boiling magic, rapier taken out.
Originally, he had planned to launch a fierce counterattack at this point.
“for a moment.”
chin!
What is going on?
Once he was far enough away from the hotel’s garden, Kang Chang-ho suddenly raised both his hands in the direction where someone was left.
“I have no intention of fighting. I just wanted to create some distance between us to talk.”
“… … !”
“So put down your weapons. You’ll be better off that way, right?”
Are you trying to… tell a story?
Sure enough, Brooklyn didn’t want the incident to get any bigger than he said.
As much as I tried to prove Kim Ki-ryeo’s skills through violence, I had imagined that relations with Korea would deteriorate…
It is human nature to want to avoid troublesome things.
“… Honestly, this is the most unconventional start to a conversation I’ve ever had in my life.”
Brooklyn Morgan calmed her nerves and engaged in a conversation with her opponent.

“Morgan, I know why you attacked that guy.”
“hmm.”
“I can understand. You probably had some questions. Your curiosity is a famous story.”
When the man with the exotic impression said that, Brooklyn couldn’t deny it and shrugged his shoulders.
Is Korea’s fourth S-class really real?
That was all she wondered about.
“But it would be difficult to do this after coming all the way to Korea.”
Kang Chang-ho tilted his head after checking Brooklyn’s reaction.
“Is it really okay for a foreigner to be making a fuss in someone else’s territory? So… … From now on, how about just comfortably receiving the information that’s given to you? I can give you the information you want.”
“yes?”
The blonde woman reacts strangely to this.
She was still smiling perfectly, as if she was wearing a mask, but the delicate eyelashes embroidered on her eyes fluttered slightly.
“You’re giving me information?”
When America’s S-class tilts its head.
Kang Chang-ho continued his explanation to support his proposal as if to tell people not to worry.
“I’ve been curious about that guy’s identity lately. It’s easy to share the information I find out with my neighbors anyway.”
“… .”
“Just say the word and I’ll take care of the investigation for you. So you guys, back off. That Awakened guy is none of America’s business.”
Kang Chang-ho continued the conversation leisurely with his hands in his pockets.
But when the other person remained silent and could not give a definitive answer, he tilted the corners of his mouth and added a few more words.
“Why is there no answer? Oh, is it possible that the translator is crooked and you can’t hear me well?”
He pointed with his finger to the area near his ear where he wore Pixie’s translator.
And soon after, a foreign language with a fluent pronunciation flowed in.
“Get out of Korea. Cr**ker.”
As Kang Chang-ho said a word, Brooklyn understood the meaning of the sentence and raised an eyebrow.
Seriously, that Korean really has no manners, just like I’ve heard.
But just because the expressions are rough doesn’t mean that we can’t have a conversation.
Kim Ki-ryeo’s offer to share information is certainly quite a temptation.
Even if that suggestion is false, if the hunters of other countries are so hostile, it will be difficult for me to go out and do anything else.
“Okay, if you say so… … .”
Brooklyn took a step back.
I still want to personally check Kim Ki-ryeo’s level, but I don’t think I need to reveal that to him.
Besides, now I suddenly became curious about something else.
Brooklyn had close ties to the U.S. intelligence community, so they had relatively frequent news reports about the people in front of them.
“By the way, there’s something I’ve been curious about for a while.”
She asked Kang Chang-ho a question.
“I heard that you also turned down an offer from our headhunter.”
“hmm?”
“I’m talking about the immigration proposal.”
“aha.”
“Of course, it wouldn’t have been the same price as this time… … . Even then, I’m sure they would have offered conditions that weren’t disappointing.”
A hunter who does not belong to a guild, and at the same time, consistently defies orders from the Korean government.
Kang Chang-ho, like Kim Ki-ryeo, was a person who could move to an overseas market at any time if the conditions were met.
His usual behavior didn’t seem particularly patriotic.
But why on earth?
Why doesn’t Kang Chang-ho also fall for America’s tricks?
“Why don’t you leave this small country?”
Even Kang Chang-ho’s situation was worse than that of any blonde.
This side had accumulated penalties for ignoring government directives, and now even the official Hunter Market was banned from use.
At this point, anyone would consider moving to another market, but he was strangely obsessed with Korea.
“Did you hide any treasure here?”
But the man just smiled strangely at Brooklyn’s question, barely opening his mouth.
“that…….”
Kang Chang-ho expresses his sense of territory like this.
“Because I like bibimbap.”
“yes?”
“Bulgogi is also good. Korean food is pretty good. You said that at the airport too.”
As one woman said in front of reporters, as if to say that people’s true feelings should not be even dared to be probed.
***
How much time has passed since then?
After a few words of conversation, one of the S-class hunters who had disappeared beyond the hotel’s bushes returns to the garden.
Hair that appears blue due to a condition called chromophobia, which is often suffered by Awakened people.
The person who appeared is Kang Chang-ho.
“are you okay?”
I was very worried because a large amount of magical power kept bursting out from the direction they disappeared from.
However, the S-class hunter who returned was surprisingly healthy.
Rather, he showed a smile that seemed to have relieved the irritation from earlier.
“Don’t worry. I finished the story. I warned you that if you mess around like this again, I won’t let you off easy.”
“oh.”
“It’ll be quiet for a while.”
Doreuk.
As he was explaining, Kang Chang-ho turned his green eyes, like those of a crocodile, to the side.
“But you know.”
The S-class hunter’s question flowed through the wide garden.
“Do you know why that foreigner did that?”
“yes?”
“Morgan said… … . He wanted to attack Korea’s fourth one because it might not be a true S-class. To check their skills.”
The one who wants to answer does not respond.
“It’s absurd, but I understand. Morgan’s actions, and the rebellion that happened a few days ago. In a way, it’s all because you’re hiding your awakening.”
This time, no answer came back.
“Come to think of it, even I have never seen your true awakening level.”
However, contrary to his calm appearance, cold sweat was currently running down his back like a waterfall.
Brooklyn was suspicious of this side.
I was wondering what was going on when my opponent suddenly started raising his magic power, but I never thought it was because of that.
“Kim Ki-ryeo.”
While someone was struggling, Kang Chang-ho offered his opinion to the hunter in front of him.
“How about you stop hiding your magical powers now? If you keep suppressing them like that, you’ll keep attracting flies.”
Of course, from Kiryeo’s point of view, it is a ridiculous suggestion.
To begin with, this is the lowest level of awakened beings who have no magical power to hide.
‘This day will finally come.’
Still, it wasn’t like there was no room for survival.
If you drink a potion made with the ground magic stone used during the 3rd awakening test, you can pretend to have high magic power for a short while.
But that’s no different from chewing on raw rocks, so it’s not good for your body.
‘Americans are suspicious of me?’
Still, I had no choice but to clear my doubts. After much deliberation, I decided to give it a try.
Let’s revisit the method used to fool the awakening tester.
And the handmade potions that were active back then were all discarded last month due to expiration date issues, so for now, we can only make do with them roughly.
“Hmm, it seems like a waste to respond to each and every one of these pranks… … .”
What a dry voice.
At first glance, he appears to be a powerful man who can even withstand threats from someone like Brooklyn, but in reality, it was the result of an alien manipulating all of his body’s muscles with all his might.
Frankly, he got goosebumps just thinking about the moments when Brooklyn had its magic.
“But as you said, things have become more and more annoying, so next time something like this happens, I’ll show my magic.”
The yellow-haired swindler throws out an empty promise to buy time to make the potion.
Then Kang Chang-ho nodded quietly.
“okay.”
However, unlike Gi-ryeo’s interpretation, this did not have a very positive meaning.
“Next time for sure.”
This real S-class didn’t fall for the collaborator’s improvisation.
Also, he was a man who had strong doubts that went beyond Brooklyn.

The incident occurred on the way home that afternoon.
