-8 Volume 25

Unfortunately, I couldn't even answer that question.

The desire to rule the world with wealth felt very vulgar.

There's nothing to be ashamed of, but if I tell you the truth, I think Choi Hee will be very disappointed.

She misunderstood that Jung Daesik was trying to reach some sublime and grand purpose that no one knew about, hiding the secrets of his power.

I don't know why, but she didn't want to break more than that.

This was the first time in my life.

Jung Daesik has never been ashamed of his desire for money.

Although she was pointed at her for being a miser, she laughed at the nonsense that money wasn't everything.

To him, money was truth and faith.

Others were just shivering with pretense, and deep down, I thought they would be just like me.

However, the tribe called Hunter was different.

Of course, there were some hunters who pursued wealth and fame.

However, many hunters wanted something other than material things.

They said it was about getting stronger, but for Jung Daesik, it wasn't that simple.

Their tenacity and upright attitude towards strength made it feel like they were pursuing something sublime.

Jung Daesik had never seen such a thing in his life.

Even those who pretend to be noble will show weakness in front of money.

Jung Daesik saw many people who became absurd in front of money when he was young.

He knew that the director of an orphanage, praised as an educator and a priest on the outside, was stealing subsidies from behind, and countless times, he saw porters who pretended to be loyal to the world introducing them to work and swindling wages or defrauding them.

So he thought that there were only people like him who were obsessed with money in the world.

Those who did not do so were considered to be just dignified or empty-headed idiots.

However, most of the hunters he met were jerks.

Choi Hee, who was in front of him, was a prime example.

She was a superstar, and she would be able to enjoy unparalleled wealth if she wanted to.

Still, she had no interest in it.

It must not have been that she already had enough of what she had.

Satisfaction is inherently endless.

He really wasn't interested in rich and noble films.

She was only interested in getting stronger.

Jung Daesik thought that Choi Hee was strange.

She was also vaguely a bit envious.

It is because she cannot live for anything other than money herself.

Jung Daesik turned around in a tingly feeling.

"When the story is over, I'll just go back."

"Wait a minute."

"what?"

Jung Daesik glanced back, and Choi Hee suddenly pulled him up.

Choi Hee said with burning eyes, holding Jung Daesik's wrist so tightly that it hurts.

"I won't give up. I'll definitely get what I want from you."

Jung Daesik sighed.

"If you can do it, do what you want."

At that time, Choi Hee suddenly blushed and made an outrageous excuse.

"But that's not to say I like you. I'm not making up excuses to be by your side."

Since no one asked, Jung Daesik laughed at Choi Hee talking nonsense all the time.

Then, Choi Hee was startled and threatened to release her wrist that was holding her.

"I'm just telling you in case you make a strange mistake!"

Jung Daesik nodded her head dryly to Choi Hee, who used the force.

"Yeah, I know what you're talking about. You don't like me."

"Yeah, no! Make sure you know!"

"I'm sure I understand. Then I'll stop."

Jung Daesik turned away from Choi Hee and walked leisurely.

I didn't want to laugh, but the clown's twitching seemed to be true.

I didn't know how to tease out like that.

It was clear that Choi Hee liked her.

'Ah, this guy's popularity!'

Jung Daesik shook his head and went into narcissism for a moment.

But that feeling was short-lived.

He thought it was just an illusion, and the problem he had left out of the discussion became a reality.

'Because I and my sister like Jung Daesik.'

Jung Daesik began to think seriously.

'This is a big deal! Which of the two... No, I can't do this without choosing who? Can't we both meet conscientiously?'

A man contemplating who to choose over his sister.

It felt like a very immoral thing to do in social norms.

Usually, you would think it would be right to step away from the men's side rather than harass a friendly sister and separate her.

But when I was about to miss them both, it felt so bad that I felt embarrassed.

'...Can't we both meet?'

Jung Daesik grumbled inwardly as he thought about being hit.

She has two women who have both beauty and talent, and they are, after all, sisters.

Bright apricot, isn't it the rice cake in the picture?

Whether a woman was lucky or not, it was really a mysterious thing.

Early the next morning, Jung Daesik prepared to leave for the American mainland.

Captain Anderson was supposed to accompany him all the way to the US mainland, and from there Liz would lead Jung Daesik.

She was also going to introduce Jung Daesik to Jade Palmer and take care of the purchase of Magjeon.

Jung Daesik said goodbye to the Fenrir troops before leaving for the airfield.

They were only apart for a while, but all the members of the unit were crying.

I don't know if it's because Jung Daesik's orders are serious or because he's anxious to be left in an unfamiliar place.

“Please come and go.”

"If anything happens, call me immediately."

"You must come back soon."

"You shouldn't even think about sitting down in America at all!"

Mi-rae Heo even sniffles, Jung Daesik said with a sullen face.

"Until I return, I hope you will focus on developing your own abilities. When I return, if there are any members who do not meet your expectations, be prepared to leave the Fenrir unit yourself."

Jung Daesik's warning gave everyone a nervous expression and bit his mouth.

Jung Daesik spoke to Kim Si-on without speaking longer.

"As of this time, I will assume the position of the temporary commander of the contingent. Please take good care of the members."

"Don't worry. I won't let you down."

Jung Daesik, who briefly shook hands with Kim Si-on, turned his gaze to Adam, who was also seen off.

He also reached out to Jung Daesik and asked for a handshake.

"Have a good job on the mainland and come back. You don't have to worry about the work here."

"OK. Thank you."

Jung Daesik beckoned Kim Tae-hee, who was standing behind her, and went to the airfield with her.

In front of the plane, Liz was already waiting to meet her.

Jung Daesik greeted her with her eyes and boarded her plane.

He then exchanged a brief greeting with the captain, sat down and fastened his seat belt.

Soon after, the stewardess came out to inspect the cabin and guide the take-off.

Before long, the plane slammed the ground and flew into the sky.

woo woo woo woo-.

Out of the window, the scenery of the defense base faded away in an instant.

As the plane turned, we could see the Hawaiian Islands where Herbor was originally located.

Herbor had disappeared, but the traces were still there, making the Hawaiian island look like a lump of black charcoal.

The lava that had erupted was still flowing without hardening, and smoke and flames were gushing out everywhere.

While I was staring at the scene silently, Liz spoke to her next to me.

She said, "I've heard of your performance."

"Is that so?"

“I hope I can defeat a monster like Herbor alone.”

“Strictly speaking, I didn’t defeat it alone. I had the help of a number of people, including the contingent squad and the Phoenix raid.”“Even so, your achievement will not decrease.”

Liz looked at Jung Daesik and smiled with a meaningful expression.

She said, "When I first heard that the All-in-One appeared, I was very curious about what kind of person he was, but after confirming the reality like this, I am very greedy."

“Are you greedy?”

“I have a desire to scout you as our PCC.”

As she spoke of her scout, Kim Tae-hee, who was looking out of her window with her mouth shut, turned to Liz.

Whether she shoots or not, Liz said, crossing her long legs.

She said, “After the US government worked hard day and night, it gathered talented people from all over the world. As a result, the power of the Awakened, which was not even in the top 10 in the world, has been raised to the top 3. At this rate, it is only a matter of time before we become number one.”

Jung Daesik shrugged.

“There are already many talented people in the United States, so do you need to bring me along?”

“This is the place where talented people from all over the world gather, so this is what you need, Mr. Jung Daesik, an all-in-one.”

“Why?”

"This is still confidential... Since you are Jung Daesik, I will tell you in particular."

Jung Daesik, thinking what the hell he was talking about, listened to Liz unconsciously.

“In our PCC, we will bring together the world’s most talented people to create an unprecedented team.”

“Team?”

“You could call it an attack squad. We've been looking for someone to lead this raid for a long time. From the moment the all-in-one appeared, we've been watching you with that place in mind. But now that I see it, I can be sure. You are the captain of Immortal.”

「Immortal……? Is that the name of the team?”

"okay."

After all, the team's name is Immortal.

It may just be a cool name, but it felt quite meaningful.

He was interested in the fact that he was preparing the world's strongest team for himself, but he had no intention of abandoning the Fenrir unit that he had worked so hard to raise.

After all, that's not what Jung Daesik's goal is.

Jung Daesik expressed his refusal with appropriate words.

“Even if it’s not me, there must be someone worthy of the position.”

"well?"

Liz said bewitchingly, crossing his legs and twisting them.

“Where can I put it?”

“Are you sure you have the confidence to convince me?”

"okay. I've never missed a person I've taken a shot at."

Seeing Liz ranting, I somehow had a feeling of a storm.

Even without looking back, I could feel Kim Tae-hee emitting a bloody energy and glaring at Liz.

Seeing that she was carefree even though the back of her head must have been creepy, Liz was no ordinary woman either.

She's like a dragon and tiger, so Jung Daesik felt a cold sweat running down his back.

'Please, this trip should end safely.'

I just had to hope that the shrimp's back wouldn't explode in the whale fight.

Jung Daesik shut his mouth tightly without answering anything and closed his eyes, pretending to be sleepy.
