Chapter 406

Chapter 406

Are you serious?

So what do you say?

Mortal,I wont deny that you are among the strongest in the Abyss.There havent been many heroes like you in the long, long history of the Abyss, but they did exist.Do you think that any of those heroes wouldve defeated a constellation like the Master of Slowness and Silence?

I didnt ask about the Abyss past. Constellation, all I asked was whether we should take revenge together.

......

Despite Choi Yeonseungs cocky words, which might have sounded arrogant, the chef constellation wasnt angry. Unknowingly, he was already enticed by Choi Yeonseungs words.

This proposal... It has to be realistic in order to be worth considering. Mortal, do you have any proof that you can in fact get revenge?

No.

See?

But you have nothing to lose by accepting this offer.

Why do you say that?

If you keep going like this, youll fall anyway, Choi Yeonseung said firmly while staring straight at the chef constellation.

Indeed, it took a lot of courage to tell a being that could blow off his head in one go that it would inevitably fail.

The chef constellation tried to refute it, but he was taken aback by his lack of arguments.

Am I being persuaded? By such a mortal?

If everything had gone according to your plan, you shouldve defeated several constellations by now and targeted the Master of Slowness and Silence. But look at the situation. The constellations havent fallen. Rather, theyre baring their teeth in front of your realm. Is this going as planned?

As planned...No, it is not.

The Master of Slowness and Silence hasnt even come out, but youre already stuck. If your first step is wrong, youll face setbacks in everything you do afterward.

Perplexed, the chef constellation couldnt help asking, So you are different?

Of course. I might be weaker than you, but Im great at holding on until presented with an opportunity. Even now, Im patiently waiting for the Master of Slowness and Silence to show some vulnerabilities.

As expected...Mortal, you lost your territory to the Master of Slowness and Silence, but you are patiently enduring it.

...

Strictly speaking, it was the land of the Chinese government that was occupied by the Master of Slowness and Silence, not Choi Yeonseungs. However, it would be impossible to explain such a detailed distinction to the chef constellation.

If success isnt important to you and you just want the satisfaction of revenge, do as you please. But if you want revenge, help me.

You are getting over yourself, said the chef constellation in a voice more menacing than before. He was getting fed up with the mortals arrogance.

However, Choi Yeonseung didnt back down. He circulated his internal energy throughout his body and exuded explosive energy as though he would actually try to attack. Only those who had reached the peak of martial arts could make such a show of strength. nove(l)bi(n.)com

The tension in the hall was close to a boiling point, as if it could explode at any moment.

As they glared at each other, the chef constellation eventually broke the silence.

Prove it.

?

Mortal,I wont deny that your logic has shaken me quite a bit.However, arguments made without proper force are just flimsy words.It takes strength to prove your point.

Then...

Choi Yeonseung raised his fist, but the chef constellation quickly stopped him.

I am not suggesting that you show your strength here.

No?

Choi Yeonseung felt slightly awkward. Still, he was ready to attack at any moment, just in case.

The chef constellation seemed to recall the painful memory of Choi Yeonseungs last surprise attack. He frowned and said, Dont make a surprise attack like last time.I wont accept your proposal if you do that.

...

The next realm of the Abyss is one of my territories, and it also happens to be open to the humans of Earth.Conquer that territory!If you manage that, I will acknowledge your strength.

...!

The Third Abyss Kingdom.

Choi Yeonseungs expression stiffened. Humanity had just conquered the Second Abyss Kingdom and was still drunk on that victory, and now the chef constellation was telling him to attempt to conquer the Third Kingdom, which hadnt even been properly identified yet.

I dont know what kind of place that is.

Yes, thanks to you. I want to thank you again for saving me, Hunter Choi Yeonseung.

With a simple question, Choi Yeonseung had managed to mellow the atmosphere.

How can this be...?

Joseph Grant was adept at reading people and the room. Aside from the fact that they all served constellations, these hunters had absolutely nothing in common, which shouldve made communication really difficult and awkward. After all, they were all from different countries, and they all had different personalities and values.

However, they all had one thing in common at the momentrespect for Choi Yeonseung. They had many differences, but they all sincerely revered Choi Yeonseung.

Joseph Grant couldnt understand what Choi Yeonseung couldve done in such a short period of time to win their hearts.

Had he brought a pile of cash and scattered it from the sky?

...What did Hunter Choi Yeonseung say to you?

What do you mean? Hunter Choi Yeonseung didnt say anything.

Dont lie. Given how youre all acting, theres no way Choi Yeonseung didnt say anything. What did he suggest? Money or interests?

The listening hunters looked at Joseph Grant in a dumbfounded manner.

What? Its because he released us.

What?

Everyone is grateful that he released us

...He just let you go?? There wasnt some sort of accident with those gourds? He just let you go??

Yeah, you asshole. And dont talk with that gloomy expression like youre going to die

Joseph Grant was an A-grade hunter, but all the hunters there were B or B+grade and they were all favored by their constellations. There was no reason for them to fear someone like Joseph Grant.

'Damn it! I shouldve given him advice beforehand.

Joseph Grant lamented this situation from the bottom of his heart. He hadnt thought he would be knocked out and wake up to this terrible situation

He felt bitter considering what he had negotiated with the governments before coming here and what he couldve received from those negotiations.

How foolish had he been to let everything slip away

It was pretty fruitful.

As Joseph Grant was inwardly cursing Choi Yeonseung, the latter was reflecting on the raid.

Joseph thought he was the smartest and most cunning person here, but he was mistaken. Choi Yeonseung was moving with a greater purpose.

Choi Yeonseung had received a large amount of soul stones for saving the constellations household members, and his power of existence had been amplified by the faith of those constellations.

Blinded by money and power, Joseph wanted to take advantage of the hostages, but doing that would make all their constellations into his enemies.

Choi Yeonseung had made the bold decision to release the victims and receive compensation in another way.

The rewards I received from the constellations are sufficient. In addition, these hunters will send their faith.

After secretly making an agreement with the chef constellation, Choi Yeonseung had confidently walked out of his realm, and the constellations had praised his performance of saving their household members.

Of course, some constellations declared that they would still trample on the chef constellation, but many had chosen to step back.

Since they had regained their household members, they intended to wait and see how the situation evolved instead of attempting another risky and pointless attack.

The prediction of the chef constellation was correct. The constellations were preoccupied with many things, and if the chef constellation essentially played dead, the others would focus on their more urgent matters instead of trying to fight him.

Nevertheless, the Abyss was still full of disorder and chaos because of the chefs uproar. The constellations had to watch out for new monsters or wandering marauders that could invade their realms.

Hunter Choi Yeonseung.

!

A menacing-looking hunter from Russia called out to Choi Yeonseung in a low voice. He was Smolchenkov, a B-grade hunter and a household member of the Six-Winged Angel Who Hunts Dragons.

Did he notice something?

Choi Yeonseung was a bit nervous.

The angel constellation was relatively close to Choi Yeonseung, so maybe he had grown suspicious of this raid. After all, Choi Yeonseung had gone up against a constellation and casually walked out unscathed

If its okay... Can I take a photo with you?

...Uh, sure.

Thank you.

Smolchenkov nodded with a stern expression and took a selfie with Choi Yeonseung. Then he went back with a satisfied expression.

Choi Yeonseung felt silly for worrying like that.
