Chapter 224: Not-so-ordinary Life 3
#1
Irumi looked at the Representative in dissatisfaction but Pajoul, a member of the World Hunter Office, said nothing.
It was neither about the negotiation nor the meeting. He could only wait silently for her disposal.
Unimaginable in the past, this was now the difference between the power of Jaehwang and the World Hunter Secretariat. It is unknown to the media, but Jaehwang carried out his raids with the World Hunter Secretariat as a third party.
They know their sins too.
No matter how much the secretary took the gesture of reconciliation, the secretariat still had a sense of dissatisfaction with Jaehwang because the secretariat did not return to its own power. The Secretariat were guilty of preparing for the revision of the special law on 10-star hunters.
Of course, they are almost indifferent to their past actions.
The World Hunter Secretariat then went on to close the information window and stop providing information about the monsters themselves. The information that they had about the tier 9 monsters was very valuable and by then, the data began to accumulate until they became the driving force that Emperor couldn’t even ignore.
The more information they have, the safer the raid becomes.
The World Hunter Secretariat used the information acquired by the blood and sweat of many hunters to compromise with Jaehwang and share its benefits through the 9 Tier Monster Raids, however, Jaehwang did not listen to them.
Such information was not provided to Invincible, and that is why Invincible created an information team on a larger scale. Soon, the World Hunter Secretariat reduced the mistakes that they had made when Jaehwang’s 9-tier monster raid began to exceed two digits.
The information network that Invincible has spread all over the world has exceeded their expectations.
In addition, the ability of Jaehwang was more sophisticated than what they imagined. It wasn’t just his capability to kill an enemy from a distance that brought him such title.
Why were tier 9 monsters so scary? The area around the tier 9 monsters is like a monster’s paradise where new tier 7 and 8 monsters were born. It doesn’t stop there because they would eventually grow themselves and expand their habitat.
Jaehwang’s martial arts team destroyed all these secondary obstacles without the help of the World Hunter Secretariat. Without even the usual wave, the 9-tier monsters were being cleaned up like a dentist pulling out a rotten tooth.
Anyway, for that reason, Pajoul, sent by the World Hunters’ Office, had no intention of negotiating with Invincible.
“Unfortunately, that doesn’t allow us to adjust the schedule of Jaehwang.” Irumi shook her head.
“110 thousand…”
Again, speaking of the number of civilians to be sacrificed, Pajoul tried to appeal to them once more.
“Listen, this can’t be negotiated.”
With her words, a groan came out of Pajoul’s mouth.
If she said it that way, then, he would have nothing to say. It was he who mentioned the impossible.
“But you negotiate well with your own Red Warriors …”
Invincible and Villain’s relationship…
Everyone knows it, but no one can get it out of their mouth. It is said that the Martial Arts House is different from Invincible, but who in the world would believe it? Even now, he is running with full support from Invincible. In addition, it was a secret that was not for everyone to know that Invincible uses the Red Warrior, a Korean group, in the background.
It was then. Irumi, who kept a stern face, sighed low and told Pajoul, “But I am so sorry for their suffering as they lost their family due to monsters. So I will report this to Jaehwang.”
It was though she completely changed her attitude.
“Thank you.”
Pajoul bowed his head halfway. He was personally focused on the situation because of his ties with a world-renowned resource company that had a monopoly on the resources produced in Somalia. Unfortunately for the 110,000 deaths, the wave of civilian damage has been a constant disaster. But rather than the lives of these people, the fruits of the raid was the real purpose behind this matter.
If Jaehwang would raid the giant spider, the price of the land in the vicinity will skyrocket and all the resources buried in that land occupied by those monsters will be theirs.
Pajoul’s face lit up but Irumi’s words were not over yet.
“However, there’s a condition that I’d like to raise.” Her cold voice woke Pajoul from his daydream.
“Yes? which…”
“The ownership of the area raided by Jaehwang, by section 81 of the Hunter Act.”
Irumi’s words surprised him and a cold sweat rolled down his forehead.
Article 81 of the Hunter Act refers to them granting sovereignty over a period of time upon the retrieval of anti-social organizations or non-governmental monsters from a clan or other countries, upon examination by the World Hunter Office. Although the screening of the World Hunter Secretariat is difficult, it is also a means to legally govern other countries.
It was enacted a long time ago and was created by the World Hunters’ Office to encourage hunters to actively hunt for monsters. Of course, the law has not yet been applied and it is also difficult to drive off the monsters of their own country because there was an active intervention by the state to prevent the consumption of Hunter’s troops to raid other countries’ monsters.
“But you will need a large force as a prerequisite. In addition, Abdul Hussein could have a conflict with the smaller warlords around him. This would need not just the blood of civilians but hunters as well.” Pajoul tried to persuade her out of her request but since he was not prepared for it, he did not know what to say.
“It doesn’t seem to be something you should be worried about. If you accept this, we will try to stabilize the region after and clean up not only monsters but also the Villain’s forces.”
“That’s … hmmm.” Pajoul shook his head. He was sweating hard.
That is the worst scenario that he could think of, he soon realized that he shouldn’t have come here. He also realized that the information had been exposed beforehand because he was not careful. Otherwise, she could not come up with these conditions.
“We’ll talk to the secretariat.” Mr. Pajoul felt that he needed to talk to those behind him so he decided to step back.
“I will wait for a good answer,” Irumi said, smiling as she watched Pajoul wipe his sweaty forehead.

“Thank you, Moon.”
“You’re caught in the middle.”
“It’s okay. But, would they accept it?”
“Let’s make them accept it. No, they will have to accept it. They haven’t been able to even touch the 9-tier monsters. From now on, Invincible will put pressure on all of their sides.” Irumi nodded.
At present, all rights to the remains of the tier 9 monsters were in the hands of Invincible, or to be exact, Jaehwang. And Irumi, who delegated all powers, was able to use them to knead numerous global companies. Irumi endeavored to use that power efficiently with Moon.
And this was the first fruit.
If you remove a warlord named Abdul Hussein and the tier 9 monster along with him, half of the land size of Korea will be in Invincible’s hands. Although it would be a temporary rule, no one knows when it will end. In short, sovereignty can be extended if the people wants it.
Of course, she wasn’t playing a land monopoly out of boredom or anything.
It was Irumi who heard from Jaehwang why he needed to increase his power through the aggressive management of the military. A large expedition to the Dark Earth will be needed in the future and this was not something that he could do alone. They had to attract powerful hunters scattered around the world and to get them, they must have something interesting to offer.
Somalia was to be their starting point.
Somalia was a land that had been without a government for nearly a century and even if they did not have tier 9 monsters, the land was still overflowing with monsters nevertheless.
Through the monster resources, they need to prepare a strong military force to match the monsters of the Dark Earth.
The World Hunter Secretariat should also be tamed. In the early days of its founding, it was born in the name of human survival.
All the corrupt parts should be cut off and in the name of Jaehwang, they will focus on building force, money, and power.
This was in line with her mission to prune everything and make it right.
“How is the scouting going?”
“There were tons of volunteers. The Republic of Korea is now a country clean from monsters and the hunters are overflowing.” Irumi nodded.
The Republic of Korea has now become the fastest nation in the world who drove away those monsters. The 9-tier monsters have been wiped out and its land right up to its borders had been returned to humans.
Hunters could earn money only by catching monsters and they were getting anxious to the point that even the gates of Dark Earth, which had been closed, would soon be opened.
“If you let them be, they will stand up to attack Elus.”
“Not bad from their point of view, but now, it’s time to prepare for Dark Earth rather than Elus.” She was planning to put them all in Somalia.
“Pajoul was so scared of the 10,000 strong Villain organized by Abdul Hussein? Laughable.”
Most of these villains were just low-level hunters with guns. The only ones that they could scare are the civilians and once the Korean hunters were put into play, they would be washed away within a week.
The hunters in Korea were famous all over the world without even mentioning Jaehwang. What were the characteristics of Koreans? If they were focused on something, they will dig through it violently.
Hunters of other countries have some hunting skills, but when they reach a certain level, they would hesitate to challenge higher leveled monsters. Reasonably safe hunting is possible, but they don’t want to risk their lives. They don’t care much about the level, however, South Korean hunters were a little different from them. They are a breed that must see everything to the end, and it was the same as breaching through the hunter levels.
This spirit of competitiveness was so excessive that there were only a few 3 to 7-star hunters in the country, while countless hunters were in the levels above them.
“It is time to show the true power of Invincible. My brother also gave us his approval.”
Irumi opened her eyes wide to Moon’s words.
If what moon said was true, then she didn’t have to supply them with hunters anymore. That meant that he decided to bring out the powerful forces of Invincible scattered around the world.
“I would need more land.”
“Yes. Starting now, your role would be great.”
“Indeed.”
“Then, good luck.”
