Chapter 355

Armas didn't usually get angry, but it was a different story when it came to money.

What are you saying, you bastard? Are you suggesting that Im lying?

Armas was in trouble because his adversary was tough. None of the hunters in the room were meek enough to back down because he was angry.

The room was full of A-grade hunters and top B-grade hunters, so Armas couldnt just intimidate them. Furthermore, his reputation wasnt exactly the best.

Why are you running your mouth when you werent even present at the initiation of the raid? You shameless bastard. Did we not see you because youd cast a defensive spell on your face?

I dont care about his rank or how valuable he is. Lets beat him up and bring him to the Chinese government. Who the hell does he think he is?

...

Armas was speechless at the unexpectedly hostile responses. He had no reason to be afraid of the Chinese government, but he had to be a bit wary about the reaction of the hunters on active duty. In addition, these werent some no-name hunters, but A-grade hunters.

Dont... Dont get me wrong. Theres no way I would doubt the hunters who have fought by my side.

. Get lost.

Seha, watch the language! There are other people here.

I see... Excuse me, would you please consider getting out of my sight?

Armas was an A-grade hunter for a reason, so even in such a tense situation, he cleverly shifted the blame to save himself.

I wasnt doubting the hunters, but the Chinese government. Do you know how many Chinese soldiers are around here? They mightve hidden the corpse of the Monkey King!

...!??

The Chinese person in charge waved his hands in surprise. They had stolen monster rewards a few times in the past, but it really wasnt the case this time.

They could pull off such tricks with D or C-grade monsters, but if they tried to tamper with the rewards from an A-grade monster, every country in the world would bury them.

No!

From what I heard, it would make sense...

Hunter Choi Yeonseung, were there any Chinese people around you?

Armas sighed as the target of blame was shifted once again.

Damn, this atmosphere is terrifying.

Hunters werent usually united, but for some reason, they were acting as one on this occasion. Armas had acted as usual without thinking and almost got seriously hurt.

Ah, right. Grant, Im glad you got back safely. About the reward this time... Armas said to Joseph.

Armas thought that this conversation would go well because just like him, Joseph had also only participated in the first raid.

Joseph replied with a cold expression, I heard that you said to not save me. I heard it from Choi Yeonseung.

...

Armas was taken aback by how quickly Choi Yeonseung had reported on him. Contrary to his seemingly kind appearance, he had handled everything flawlessly.

I had the wrong idea about him!

Joseph, who had finally returned safely, ignored Armas and continued, Speaking of splitting the rewards...

The Monkey Kings corpse is nowhere to be seen. If you keep talking, Ill tie you up again and throw you away!

Listen to me! Since the corpse is gone, shouldnt we get compensation from the Chinese government?

The hunters, who had been disregarding Josephs words, suddenly paused, realizing that his idea was actually good.

Certainly, this...

Lets all join forces.

Yeah. Were comrades who fought the monster together!

...

At this moment, the Chinese officials in the room cursed their superiors who had recruited these overseas hunters.

***

There had been an unexpected set of circumstances and other ferocious monsters were wreaking havoc. Despite those terrible conditions, the story of Choi Yeonseung defeating the Monkey King by mobilizing hunters without backing down spread quickly.

@Armas_Garcia

-We were able to finish the raid thanks to Choi Yeonseung, who boldly led the hunters despite the failure of the first attempt.It was a good raid for everyone.

The hunters at the scene said that you didnt participate in the second raid. Is this true?

-That is the Chinese governments slander.As you know, the Chinese government spreads rumors to keep overseas hunters in check.Its a shame if you believe such baseless accusations.

@Mona_Tharwat

-I am seriously thinking of learning martial arts.The power of martial arts is much greater than I thought.I heard that Choi Yeonseung can also cook. I wanted to check it out, but unfortunately, I couldnt.

The problem was right in front of them!

-Any constellation would be affected by such a traumatic experience, and a fragile constellation like the goddess of balance would be even more affected by something like that.

[The Manipulator of Dreams and Desires slightly regrets saying that the Goddess of Balance Who Walks Ahead has a perverse and twisted desire.]

-...You actually said that to her?! Thats just too much!

Choi Yeonseung was dumbfounded. What the manipulator constellation had said was really out of line!

-But it is a twisted and perverse desire...Is it normal to covet a mortal, whos also someone elses household member, like that?

[The Manipulator of Dreams and Desires says that the incarnation of training is kind. If the incarnation of trainings personality were a bit more evil, the goddess of balance would be the laughing stock of the Abyss right now.]

...

Choi Yeonseung suddenly felt sorry for the goddess of balance. He couldnt believe that the constellations were taking sides like this

I have to listen.

[The Manipulator of Dreams and Desires says that seducing others by looking pitiful is something that a moral would do, not a constellation.]

-Certainly, the strategy of the goddess of balance is unique and not something that ordinary constellations can imitate.

-Everyone, shut up.

Choi Yeonseung silenced the constellations.

It was understandable that the goddess of balance was shocked. He was shocked as well. However, since there was a lot of work to do, he decided not to dwell on her condition for the time being and focus on the most pressing matters.

There were still many questions.

Why and how did they have a child? Why had that child come from the future? Why was the child so talented in martial arts? What had she tried to tell them?

[The Cat of Lava and Magma says it can tell you how a child is conceived.]

[The Manipulator of Dreams and Desires says she can tell you as well.]

-Ah, shut up.

However, both Choi Yeonseung and the goddess were constellations. No matter how embarrassed or confused they were, they couldnt waver.

As rulers of a realm, they had to stand firm. It was their duty as masters in whom their subjects had faith.

Adaquaniel, please send me to your kingdom. Ill convince her myself.

Hunter Choi Yeonseung...! But youre the household member of the Undefeated Incarnation of Training. Im worried I might make a mistake by sending you there or that Master would misunderstand my intentions!

Its okay. Just send me there.

Adaquaniel was deeply moved by Choi Yeonseungs resolve. He wanted to go there to help her master without caring about his own safety.

Was there anyone else in the Abyss who was so noble and loyal?

Alright, and if the goddess gets angry, Ill take full responsibility

Adaquaniel...!

Hunter Choi Yeonseung...!

-Successor, I think it would be best if you hurry there.

[The Manipulator of Dreams and Desires strongly warns you not to do anything like this when entering the kingdom.]

***

Master, please tell us.

Thats right. Shouldnt you talk to us so we can share some of the burden?

The loyal angels of the goddess knocked anxiously on the door of the tower. In spite of everything, their loyalty was still unwavering. The goddess of balance was a good master, which was rare in the Abyss.

...I will ask you a question.

Yes! What is it? Please tell us!

Lets say there is a child born between a constellation and a mortal.How would they be born?

Um...

Umm...?

The angels pondered on it before coming up with a general answer.

Perhaps the constellation subdued the mortal by force or tricked them with some evil scheme?

I think so as well. The difference in status is so big that its probably the result of strength rather than love.

The angels exchanged looks, thinking they had answered well.

Waaaaaah!

...But what came from inside was the goddess wail.
