Jaehwang was very popular… When someone asked him why a famous hunter like him were eating at that restaurant he just simply answered.
-So annoying.
-Yea. This new popularity you have is annoying.
The spirit agreed. It wasn’t any five star restaurant, it was just a simple place for them to eat. Obviously everyone there noticed who he was and glanced at him many times as he sat as his table. It was really annoying.
The spirit usually went into human form when they went out to eat but she couldn’t because of all of the staring.
-I said I wanted to go to a bakery.
-This will do.
-Well, at least it’s better than being back at headquarters training.
The restaurant was much better and spacious than the training in the HQ that Jaehwang was always spending his time in. even the other members of the clan liked to go there to eat over the food at Gwanjae’s mansion.
Besides thinking of the people in the restaurant Jaehwang just choose it based on the food.
He could act like a king with all the new attention but he really just wanted everything to feel like normal and be able to talk with the spirit in human form as they ate.
After sitting in their chair to eat and suddenly noticed the TV in the room.
Another show went off and then a new program came on.
On screen were crowds of Oaks retreating a battle.
There also was someone there, it was a hunter but his back was turned so no one could see his face. On his chest was a yin-yang mark.
He was fighting off all of the Oaks.
[Yesterday something strange happened at the Pyonyang gate… The area was dominated by armies of Oaks but there was a hunter from Justin Point that came and saved the day. He was able to succeed in the battle all on his own…]
The news anchor on the TV then continued to explain more.
[This was an especially important task to take on. Apparently it was a secret mission for one individual. With tons of Oaks and soldiers from Samjeon’s church, it was clearly a challenging situation…]
“Ah, this type of thing happens everyday.”
One of the hunters in the restaurant said and got the remote to change the channel to something new. Almost every channel was playing the same news that they just saw so he just turned off the tv.
If it was a secret mission then how could it have gotten out to the public and reporters like this?
There was always a new hunter story on the news all the time these days.
Obviously Jaehwang wasn’t interested in any of it. As they were all watching the TV program he just focused on eating.
Someone else then turned on the TV again and the same thing was still on.
[These days everyone has been talking about hunters a lot. Today especially seems to be like one of those days. For the past two everyone has been talking about the chaos happening in Justin point.]
-Are they talking about me now?
-Yes.
The spirit replied. As the reported explained everything there were lots of misinformation they were sharing.
In Justin Point there was actually an insignificant amount of hunters in detainment. Lots of them have already broken free or have been rescued.
There was a mistake in the incompetence of the information
But, when some ridiculous story comes out it’s best to just not react rather than getting angry. However, Jaehwang wasn’t the only one angry at the misinformation of the report. The other hunters who were watching also didn’t seem too happy about it as they were watching.
Tang!
“What are they talking about!”
One of the hunters shouted as he slammed his spoon on the table.
“This is crazy. What are they trying to make the public think?”
Every hunter had great honor in their clans.
Any kind of disrespect towards any of them would make them all understandably angry. Keeping their reputation clean was very important.
Of course the clans did have their weak points in the past at some points but they always worked hard to fix anything that doesn’t go well. The information just shared to the public was just plain lack of investigation.
“Quiet. It’s originally like that. Doesn’t it make sense why they would say that? Let’s just not worry about it.”
“We can’t do that about this. This could do a lot of damage to us. I’m not even sure but there was a few hundred people that were saved from the unit. We did a good job but why could this be happening…”
“Maybe this is because they want to control us. Hasn’t this been going on for like two days now? It’s ridiculous.”
As everyone continued to talk back and forth Jaehwang just focused on eating his food and then left the restaurant.
It seemed as if he didn’t care but he was actually a little worried after seeing the report on the TV. Usually he didn’t care about things like that but it could actually bring them lots of trouble.
He would often go training after eating but instead he decided to go meet someone.
“Jaehwang.”
Standing right in front of him was Jaehwang’s lodging roommate, Juyeong.
The moment he saw Jaehwang he reached out his hand for a handshake.
“How have you been?”
“Fine. There’s something I need to speak to you about…”
Jaehwang said as he shook his hand. At first he was a bit worried but luckily it was easy to find him.
“Haha. alright. There’s also something I need to apologize to you about.”
“Apologize?”
“Yes. Remember the time when I went into your room? Haha.”
“Ah, right. I remember.”
Jaehwang replied. He then handed him a cold bottle of water and Juyeong smiled.
“Wow, you didn’t have to. This is a really important matter and I can see how this could really affect the clans.”
“I haven’t talked to any other clans about this yet.”
“I see.”
Juyeong could understand with just a few words of explanation.
After being his roommate for some time he was able to understand him well.
However, Jugyeong’s reply stated that things might not go as they want them to so they should be prepared for whatever it is they’re worrying about.
“How can you say that so calmly.”
“Listen carefully.”
Jugyeong said.
“Do you know that even you are now being talked about in the media even more than before?”
“Yes.”
Jaehwang replied.
He had seen himself on TV a lot lately for his hunter skills but he didn’t know that there was a reason for exactly why.
Something then suddenly crossed Jaehwang’s mind.
“Are they purposely trying to put pressure on us?”
Jaehwang asked.
“You are correct.”
Jugyeong simply answered.
“Are they from the American side?”
He asked and Jugyeong then had a surprised look on his face.
“Hm, you may be on to something.”
“No.”
Jaehwang shook his head. That was something he needed to think about. Jugyeong had lots of influence so Jaehwang didn;t want any possibly false information being spread. He wanted to know for sure.
Jugyeong then nodded his head and replied,
“Alright. Looks like we should just keep an eye on America for now. Wanna team up and get to the bottom of this?”
Unknown Hunter 2, The end.
