Chapter 106: Extra Kill 3
Their worst possible outcome was about to happen so the commander fell onto his knees.
“Everyone! Honor Mr. Choi-Jin Han!”
Everyone then bowed to greet Choi-Jin, still afraid that he might attack them. They made sure to keep their distance. The young guy in front of them was the legendary person that they all recognized.
‘Please’
He begged and hoped for them not to get attacked. They knew the old guy from the history books when they read all about his great legacy. They tried to put on a brave face but it was too obvious that they were scared.
They even kept their distance, trying not to start any disasters with any kind of fight or conflicts.
“B-boss?!”
“What!”
“It’s Choi-jin, the strongest-”
Teuk… Teuk…
The man already went to action as he spoke. They ducked their heads to avoid their attacks and their boss then looked over towards Choi-Jin in disgust.
“Is he looking down to me?!” Choi-Jin said and his voice rattled the hearts of the hunters. “These people had the nerve…”
“Boss, we’re gonna make that legendary achievement this time, right?”
Gwanjae was a legend in Korean history and the one next to him was the same.
“Well, this guy has been up against many monsters…” Gwanjae said and Choi-Jin looked around at everyone. He didn’t notice anyone that fits the description of what he was saying.
“I don’t know. No one else here seems have that much experience.”
“These guys have lived through a lot, but they only have guarded gates through the most of their time. Are you sure that’s what you meant to say?” He asked with a confused tone.
[Strength]
Choi-Jin’s one word motto had something in common with Gwanjae. If its point was slightly different, then Gwanjae would fully support it but Choi-Jin can’t be persuaded.
“If that’s the case, then how did we get here? Was it because of the raid team leader?”
“Doesn’t it take a lot of courage to step onto the hunting grounds?” He asked as Jaehw.a.n.g monitored everything. That was possibly one of Gwanjae’s commands.
“But didn’t we come here because it would be fun? Although it is quite dangerous…”
“Sigh…”
They went into the halls and sat down onto the floor as soon as they had some trouble breathing. It was still really dangerous around there so they had to keep an eye out for monsters. Fortunately, they had a healer with them so they would be ready if anyone gets hurt.
“Hm…”
One of the female hunters looked scared and dissatisfied. Choi-Jin noticed that and said, “What’s the problem? Is there anything that I should worry about?”
Choi-Jin took his long sword from his waist and waved it around to demonstrate that they would be fine, but then, something that they would never be able to forget happened.
Juuuwk!!
They heard something coming through the grounds and besides Jaehw.a.n.g, everyone was clearly afraid. Choi-Jin then coldly said, “The commander being injured is already enough of a bad news, we can’t let anything happen to anyone else.”
All of the team members then rushed to get their gear without any hesitation and time to waste. Some others and the leader stayed by the commander’s side. The leader looked at the commander with tears in his eyes because he felt afraid and betrayed.
He regretted everything. He felt like he could have done much better to keep everyone safe.
When he turned his head to the commander, he turned stiff as a stone the moment their eyes had met.
“We have to be prepared,” The commander said as he handed him his axe.
He won’t be of much help because of his injury so he went inside the pickup truck to keep himself safe as everyone followed along with the plan that was told.
Choi-Jin looked over to Jaehw.a.n.g with a grim expression. “I don’t like this. Show your face. Tell me who you are..”
“Okay, how would you handle this?”
Choi-Jin then closed his eyes. He then opened them a moment later and quietly said to Jaehw.a.n.g, “I wouldn’t end it so bland like how it’s going now.”

Later that night, Jaehw.a.n.g quietly walked into the air base. It was dark so he had to watch his step to prevent someone from waking up. He saw the construction site, he saw their usual a.s.sembled panels, bags of cement, and their sets of heavy equipment.
He walked further and saw the 3D printing crane. The printer was equipped with everything you could think of for the building. They used it in their clan because it was well-made and protected. They still weren’t being used in other foreign countries due to them being very expensive and dangerous.
‘I thought at least a few people from the clan would be in here.’
He looked around and saw that there are still a lot of things left unfinished and to be installed. Three bases were currently being remade so the clans set up a basecamp near the area for them to sleep.
Everyone was sleeping but he saw a guy with his eyes open and there seemed to be a red light surrounding him with its gentle radiance. Jaehw.a.n.g had heard some stories about his clan before. He tried to remember what it was but he couldn’t focus because of his energy.
The guy then noticed Jaehw.a.n.g and walked up to him. He then said, “Aren’t you quite popular around here?”
“Gosh, you’re so annoying. If you want to talk just say so instead of just staring at me like some sort of creep.:.” It was Dongchul. He was helping the clan in their project.
“Since you’re so famous now, can’t you like, earn a lot of money?”
“Just a but. I needed the money of course and also, thanks.”
“Thanks for what?”
“For being a good friend when I was just an orphaned kid.”
“You don’t have to thank me.” Jaehw.a.n.g smiled.
When Dongchul and him went on their separate ways, he thought about him a lot and he knew that he had a hard time in the orphanage so he made sure that he would be there for him as much as he could.
“But, no problem…” Jaehw.a.n.g followed.
He seemed uninterested and selfish to others but Dongchul knew that deep down, he was very thoughtful and caring.
Beep Beep
The air base siren suddenly went off and Jaehw.a.n.g then caught a glimpse of something hiding in the darkness.
“They’re here…” He saw a helicopter in the sky with the Daehyeon clan emblem.
The helicopter landed onto the ground and they rushed out one by one with their weapons on hand.
Jaehw.a.n.g then saw a familiar face among the crowd the of Daehyeon soldiers. Her long hair was blowing in the wind as she got off of the helicopter. It was Sooji and she held the hand of some guy…
“Is that Lee Songjae?” Dongchul asked.
“Yeah”
He already knew what his face looked like but it was the first time he had seen him in person. The spirit then said,
—How’s your anger going?
—I’m not going to make the same mistake twice.
—Good. Maybe you should try talking to him.
The spirit suggested.
Dongchul then walked next to him and placed his hand on his shoulder.
“I’m going to sleep…” Jaehw.a.n.g said and Dongchul nodded. “Oh and…”
Dongchul wanted to say something but he shut his mouth the moment he saw his face. Jaehw.a.n.g then continued,
“Be sure to say h.e.l.lo for me.”
Extra Kill 3, The end.
