Chapter 408

This thing Isnt it a good opportunity?

Choi Yeonseung paused as he sensed the deep regret in the other persons voice.

At the moment, Lee Changsik was helping Choi Yeonseung with his work in the Abyss. The recent raid on the chef constellation had ended with him going into seclusion, but that didnt mean the aftermath didnt present problems.

The races expelled from their realms roamed wildly the Abyss, and several monsters and hunter clans were wandering around, stimulated by the chaotic atmosphere and the random attacks

The butterfly effect was stronger in the Abyss than anywhere else. Whenever a kingdom collapsed, dozens of nearby realms would be affected as well!

As a result, Choi Yeonseungs subordinates, including Hwang Gyeongryong and Lee Changsik, were focusing on dealing with the monsters that prowled around the borders of his realm.

Choi Yeonseung had actually thought that Lee Changsik could return to Earth, but he figured that he wouldnt be able to persuade him, given how passionate he was about helping.

...Was it because he found it hard to be a director in South Korea?

Choi Yeonseung asked the person on the phone, Uh, can you give me more details? If its a really important opportunity, I could take over momentarily.

-Oh, really?

The staff member of the Demon clan couldnt help being surprised.

Choi Yeonseung had been very active as an A-grade hunter and had also succeeded in the recent Abyss raid. However, the staff member was taken aback for another reason

In fact, Choi Yeonseung had used his own money to take over the Demon clan, which had been on the verge of collapse, so the staff member couldnt help feeling nervous about the clan owner taking charge of the clan on behalf of the manager.

Uh... Will he disband the clan if we lose?

The Demon clans employee was unaware of Choi Yeonseungs situation and was worried about making a mistake. However, Choi Yeonseung had his own reasons for dealing with this himself.

He was doing this because of what Lee Changsik had told him.

-If theres any important or urgent matter, you can take care of it for me.

-Can I do that?Im more like an outsider.

-But youre a constellation.No clan could match that advantage.

-...

Choi Yeonseung couldnt refute Lee Changsik's argument.

Indeed, it would be incredibly unfair for a clan to fight other clans while being managed by a constellation that was disguised as a human. However, Choi Yeonseung had already abandoned his conscience in order to achieve victory.

-I understand.If that happens, Ill try to deal with it as a constellation to the best of my abilities.

Now that the situation he had talked about with Lee Changsik had come, he would take charge and deal with it himself.

-Well Uh...Our hunters arent at their best yet...New novel chapters are published on

The clan employee was embarrassed and spoke hesitantly to Choi Yeonseung.

I see. I understand.

-But the process of getting stronger is never easy!We are getting stronger!

Didnt I say that I understand?

-......

The clan employee seriously considered asking the hunters to risk their lives in order to win.

***

Surprisingly, the Demon clans opponent wasnt a Korean clan this time.

Of course, it didnt matter whether the opponent was a domestic or foreign clan as long as they both understood each other. However, it was easier to fight a clan from the same country.

In that sense, it was quite unusual for the American Awake clan to be their adversary.

The Awake clan? Arent they pretty famous?

They are. This clan always comes up in discussions about clan battles in the United States.

Nathan, a hunter from the United States, nodded in agreement.

At these words, the hunters of the Demon clan discussed with each other.

Of course, it was impossible to know whether they would win or lose before the match started, but knowing that their opponents were this strong wasnt encouraging at all.

Why did those guys choose to go against us? Are they that cowardly and cheap?

Ive heard that all the Korean clans have declined their challenge.

Holy Then we should turn it down as well!

Didnt the Iron-Blooded Ice Emperor think it was a good opportunity?

...

The hunters went quiet at the unexpected voice.

The rigorous training of the Iron-Blooded Ice Emperor was also famous among clan hunters. After all, was there any other manager those days that made hunters train in real dungeons against monsters?

Any other clan wouldve rebelled against such harsh training.

Everyone turned to Nathan as their last glimmer of hope.

Nathan, it cant be, right? Youve met Hunter Choi Yeonseung before.

...

However, Nathan was struggling to find some words of encouragement, beads of sweat trickling down his forehead.

Seeing him like that, all the other hunters were horrified.

...Arent we screwed if we lose?

"What is this?"

Ellie Strock, the ace of the Awake clan, firmly protested to the clans staff.

I came to South Korea to learn from the top clans, not to play around. Im not joking with you.

Im sorry, Strock, the staff member apologized with an embarrassed expression.

Contrary to their plans, several famous Korean clans had refused to participate in a clan battle against Awake.

Only the Demon clan had agreed to it, but all the Awake hunters started complaining when they learned who their opponents were.

All hunters had ears, and word traveled fast.

But the Demon clan is a top Korean clan with a long history.

That mustve been twenty years ago. Why would we fight them now?

Im really disappointed in the Korean clans. I didnt think theyd all be a bunch of scaredy cats.

All the Awake hunters were dissatisfied. They had asked for a clan battle that would help them grow, but all the worthy clans had refused.

Im sorry. I will make sure to arrange battles with other clans, so please calm down.

...Yeah, we understand. It cant be helped.

In the end, the hunters accepted that they had no choice. They wouldnt get a better opponent by throwing a tantrum.

Now that everything had been decided, they thought of their upcoming battle with the Demon clan as a warm-up.

They would make short work of the Demon clan while their managers looked for better opponents.

They wont find anyone else. I didnt want to resort to this, but it cant be helped.

What are you going to do? asked Ellie Strock with a puzzled expression.

Her fellow hunter, Dmitry, explained with a stern expression, Ill provoke the Korean hunters on social media.

...Not bad. Do as you please.

Ellie wouldve normally stopped him, but she let him do his thing this time. If nobody came out to fight them, they had no choice but to try and find some suitable opponents by trash talking online.

@Dmitry_Diesel

-Korean hunters are disappointing.I flew a long way for a clan battle. I didnt expect everyone to turn down our challenge!

-Are you guys scared? Yeah, youre absolutely scared of us, haha!

Dmitry cunningly ignited controversy on social media. Just minutes after he made the post, there were already a few famous hunters fighting in the replies.

Huhu!

Look!

Huh?

The proud Dmitry looked up at his colleagues shouting. A familiar hunter was chatting with the clans staff member.

Hunter Choi Yeonseung!

Every hunter active in the US was familiar with Choi Yeonseung. They knew him as a hunter in his prime and as an up-and-coming entrepreneur.

Besides the fact that it was very beneficial to have a good relationship with him, everyone had to respect Choi Yeonseung as a hunter.

Dmitry admired Choi Yeonseung in a different sense. One of the civilians that Choi Yeonseung had evacuated before a raid in the United States was Dmitrys relative.

It turned out that the government had been sitting back while Choi Yeonseung had personally evacuated the citizens.

Such altruistic hunters were incredibly rare, so Dmitry naturally revered Choi Yeonseung.

Hunter Choi Yeonseung!

Dmitry felt compelled to take this opportunity to express his gratitude, so he rushed over to speak to him.

Choi Yeonseung looked over from where he was chatting with the clans staff member.

A clan member whispered to him from the sidelines, Thats the hunter I just mentioned.

Oh, the one who flamed South Korea on social media?

...N-no Wait, no! I think theres a misunderstanding, Hunter Choi Yeonseung!
