Chapter 79
Many awakened pursue wealth and fame, dreaming of becoming professional hunters, but only a select few chosen ones can achieve that dream. That is the inescapable reality.
And in almost all such cases, it is because they are weak.
If one is too weak to be of use as a hunter—so weak that even goblin hunting would cost them their life—then even as an awakened, they end up living the life of an ordinary person.
But sometimes, very rarely, there are those who, though just as strong as hunters… or in some respects even stronger than hunters, do not choose that path.
Like Yoon Choa here.

One-two straight punches and the man was pushed back by the rain of blows.
His beast transformation was complete, his claws brimming with a deadly gleam, but attack power means nothing if it doesn’t land.

With upper-body movement derived from kickboxing, Muay Thai, and Taekkyon footwork, Yoon Choa dodged every strike.
And in modern martial arts, evasion is what?
It is offense.
Pabababak—!!
Е̂ǹũm а̌ . ì d
“Ghk!!”
Short, rapid counters slammed in at close range.
The steadily accumulating damage was slowing his steps.
Relentless counters infused with extreme martial arts—that was Yoon Choa’s specialty.

At this distance, Yoon Choa had no doubts. She could not lose.
The man, sensing this instinctively, tried desperately to escape, but he was outpaced.
Ẅ е̊b̃nо̃ v̂ е l̆ Еnu mа
Even when he wildly swung his beastlike hands around to force open the distance—
“Keuhhk!”
—A kick flew in from nowhere.
A spinning back kick, combining kickboxing, taekwondo, and taekkyon, struck his chin.
His brain rattled, and the man once again took the full brunt helplessly.
At last, unable to endure, the beastman burst forth with rage-fueled magic.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
“Блять!! (You fucking bitch!!)”
Had he ever, even after transforming completely, been cornered this helplessly?
A macho Russian man, for him a man’s fight was strength, pure strength.
Tricks ultimately collapsed before overwhelming power, so he had poured all his time into training his body and honing his strength.
That made this all the more humiliating—being utterly dominated by the “techniques” he had dismissed as petty tricks.
The man’s eyes turned blood-red with rage.

Originally, he had only planned to rough her up lightly and be done. But that plan was abandoned.
With 「Rampage」 activated, he had to vent this humiliation. Only then could he stop.

“Убьют (I will kill you)……”
The fur all over his body stood on end.
This sign—?
It was a lion’s roar. Strictly speaking, a wolf’s howling.
W е̊bn̂.о́ v eĺ Е̇ num а̀
A common wide-area skill among beastmen, stunning everything in range.
Because of its range scaling with ability, versatility, and activation speed, it was a skill Lee Shin had rated very highly.
The way to counter a lion’s roar was to first retreat out of range, then re-engage.
Naturally, Yoon Choa was expected to dodge out with her speed. But… in that instant, she advanced instead.

The moment she stepped forward, evasion was no longer possible.
And so she took the lion’s roar head-on.
Е̂num̆ а̄
“Raaaahhh—!!”
The wolf’s maw opened wide, waves of magic rippling outward in concentric circles.
Dust, sand, air—all were swept away by the magical shockwave like a tidal wave.
The gang members waiting nearby had to cover their eyes from the storm of dust.
They were certain of the woman’s fate.
At such close range, anyone hit by a howling would at the very least be stunned.

But… when the dust cleared, they were all struck dumb.
Yoon Choa had planted her feet into the concrete with true stance, taking a fighting posture.
-Crack.
And she had even dislocated her own thumb to forcibly break the ‘stun.’
A stun is, after all, a mental-type effect. With extreme mental discipline, it can be overcome.
A technique often spoken of only in theory—she had just made real.
Ẅ é b̃n_о v̄ê ĺ Еňǔmа
Through her hair fluttering in the shockwave, Yoon Choa’s eyes gleamed.
One strike.

She would end it with one strike—that resolve was written on her face.
Her fist pressed against the beastman’s chest as he exhaled his lion’s roar.
Fajing (發勁).
This would certainly decide it.
Е ňû_m̄ӓ
But at that exact moment—
Just before Yoon Choa’s fajing struck the beastman’s chest—
“Now, stop it there.”
Paaaaang—!!

Something fell from the sky, forcing the two apart.
And in that moment, a man leapt down from the rooftop of a 12-story building across the way.
Ѐ ň ǔ má
Pale Russian skin, thick belly fat, and a chest full of hair.
The gang boss, with his massive frame, stood staring at Lee Shin.
Lee Shin smiled gently.
“You’ve finally come out.”
The boss bared his teeth in a grin as well.
“Don’t bully the youngsters. Come on, let’s talk, you and me.”

“As much as you want.”
________________________________________
A shabby gukbap restaurant in Chinatown.
The door opened, and a group of hulking men walked in. At that, the gray-haired old lady owner hurried out from the kitchen.
“Welcome—… what the, it’s you guys.”
“мама привет~! (Hello, Mama~!) I’m here.”
Е̃ nūṁа̇
“Get off me!”
A hairy white man hugged the old lady affectionately.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Despite being Russian, he acted more Korean than a Korean.
What was even stranger was his dialect. He naturally spoke in that old-fashioned Busan dialect from the ’80s, which was rarely heard these days.
The old lady, used to this sight, brushed it off as nothing unusual.
“Go on, sit down. It’s all pork gukbap today.”
Wе b n оv̆ е̇ l̄ E̊ nu m а̄
“Hold up. Hey, you guys are eating pork gukbap too, right?”
“Also, one plate of boiled pork.”
The hairy Russian turned back and asked, while in the meantime, Lee Shin took off his Rustic Period–style coat and hung it on a chair.
“You heard her, Mama. Also boiled pork. And don’t forget lots of garlic chives.”

“Be quiet, I’m not deaf, so lower your voice. But this here is a new face, isn’t he?”
Where had she seen him before?
Е̂ňů m̀а̊. і̃d̆
The old lady glanced at him several times, then suddenly widened her eyes and clapped her hands.
“Oh my! I remember! Lee Shin! The CEO of <Mir Guild>, isn’t it?”
“Hahaha. Hello. I’m Lee Shin of Mir Guild.”
“Oh my goodness, what a pleasure! My family’s from Yeongdo! I’ve been watching you on TV!”
“Hah! So I have a fan here.”
“Look at me, I almost forgot. I need your autograph.”
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
“Mama, what about our gukbap?”
“Shut your mouths! Who cares about gukbap right now!”
The flustered old lady only disappeared back into the kitchen after getting Lee Shin’s promise to give her an autograph and take a photo when he left.
“Sorry about that. It’s just a neighborhood shop, so she’s a little eccentric. She means no harm.”
“It’s fine. Much more gentlemanly than pointing a gun at me on a first meeting.”
“…… I said I’m sorry. My boys aren’t fluent in Korean, that’s all.”
Е̂ n ůmа́
“Not fluent? I understood them better than your dialect.”
“Damn picky, aren’t you. Ah well. I’ll just buy you dinner, how about that?”
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
“Vodka too.”
“You bastard… you know what’s good.”
Right on cue, bubbling pork gukbap in earthenware pots arrived.
“This one’s on the house.”
W̌ eb̆ń о̊ vеl̇ Еn̂ um̄ a
On a large tray, steaming boiled pork gave off a delicious aroma as the meal began.
“Eat. Let’s fill our stomachs before we talk business.”
“Thanks for the meal. You too, noona.”
“You eat too.”
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Lee Shin and the hairy boss calmly began eating.
Even the boss’ right-hand man, who just moments ago had been ready to kill, and Yoon Cho-a, had no choice but to pick up their spoons.
Е̂ ǹum̊ а́
The underlings watching from the other table were dumbfounded.
‘Both of them… their guts are ocean-sized, huh?’
‘I’ve never seen anyone with nerves as strong as the boss.’
The man who had pointed a gun at someone on their first meeting, and the man who had a gun aimed at his head.
After such a deadly situation, they were now saying things like, “This soup is amazing,” “Right?”
Was this normal? No—just being able to swallow food in such a moment was already abnormal.

And the boss himself felt the same.
‘As I thought, my eyes weren’t wrong. This bastard’s insane too.’
Eyes with a stark contrast of black and white.
He had seen such eyes often—eyes where purity and madness coexisted, where some vital “line” of humanity was missing.
That’s why you never knew where such a person would leap, or how far he would go.
‘Well, it was strange from the start, when he barged in with just one escort.’
Ẽñ ùm ӑ .їď
Unlike the “fakes” you’d see in the league, the boss who had truly walked through life-and-death battlefields could clearly sense it.
The dangerous smell radiating from this man named Lee Shin.

‘This kind of guy will definitely cause chaos. He’ll never stay quiet for a moment. I’d avoid him if I could, but on this cramped Busan turf, there’s nowhere to run.’
The boss’s eyes narrowed.
In the end, a clash was inevitable.
In that case…
Е̄ǹ u m̊ а́ . іd̀
‘If you can’t avoid the typhoon, one way is to ride it.’
Slurp—the bowl of gukbap was emptied, and now came the real business talk.
First, he poured vodka into the silver water cups, filling them to the brim.
“Continue what you were saying earlier. You mean you want to buy us?”

“Yeah. Work under me.”
“Hmm, I don’t like working under others.”
Е n û m̈ a. í d̄
“What’s there to dislike? In the end, all you do is wipe others’ asses and eat their scraps.”
“You little punk…!”
“Hey, don’t butt in. And you, watch your mouth. We’re in the land of courtesy, so at least keep basic manners.”
“Ha, it’s funny hearing a hairy Russian with pale skin talk about the ‘land of courtesy.’ But you’re not wrong. Sorry, I went too far.”
“Apology accepted.”
As a gesture of apology, the two clinked glasses and downed their vodka in one shot.

“By the way, why us? We’re outsiders. Wouldn’t it be easier to give the job to fellow Koreans? Isn’t that why you’ve been running around for days now? Am I wrong?”
“You know your stuff. You’ll work well.”
“Just answer me. Am I right or wrong?”
“Hmm… wrong.”
What Lee Shin was about to touch was the underworld, a realm outside the boundaries of law and order.
To fight there, one had to be powerful and thorough.
Ёn̊ um ӑ.і̊ d
That’s why it had to be them. Their very nature was different from other organizations.
Not cruel, but ruthless. Greedy, but meticulous.

“You guys, being more like ‘mercenaries’ than an organization, are perfect.”
At the word mercenaries, the boss’ eyes momentarily turned cold, but soon returned to their usual carefree gleam.
“You’re not wrong. That’s what we do.”
They took on requests and carried them out.
W̊ ėb̄ ṅо v̊ е̄l̈ Е̄ n̄um̌ å
Whatever the job, they just handled it mechanically.
That was their world. As natural as breathing.
A deal with no downside.
The decision came quickly.

“So, what’s the fee?”
“Two sheets. Generous enough, right?”

“Make it three.”
“That’s too much. Two.”
“Three.”
“Two.”
“Two and a half.”
“Two, plus incentives.”

Deal?
Lee Shin held out his vodka glass, and the boss smirked and clinked his against it.
-Clink!
“A good choice.”
Lee Shin smiled in satisfaction, with the innocent brightness of a child.
Then curiosity suddenly lifted the boss’ head.
W̆ ѐ b nо̌vė l Ë nů m̄ a
Could it be that he was mistaken? The boss absentmindedly put a cigar in his mouth and scratched it a little.
“Fine, fine. But what if we play around with you, huh?”

At that—
“Play around?”
Pffft—Lee Shin laughed, reached out, and grabbed a cigar from the boss’s case, biting it as if it were his own.
And the moment he lit it with a match—
Е nùmа .іd
Chill……!!
“Sounds fun. Go ahead, try it. That so-called game of yours.”
Earlier, the boss had asked: Why us? Aren’t there other groups?
True, to be honest, if he looked around, he could find plenty of similar options.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
So why had Lee Shin chosen them?
“Because you’re outsiders.”
Ё ǹ um̆а.
They did their jobs thoroughly, and were easy to clean up afterward.
“And one more thing. This is important…”
These men had something to protect. Things more precious than their own lives.
Lee Shin bent down, whispering into the boss’s ear.
“Family.”
The boss’ easygoing eyes instantly turned feral.

A murderous aura burst forth.
At that, Yoon Choa, who had been guarding Lee Shin’s side, rose to her feet, ready to strike. The boss’ right-hand man raised his long fingernails toward her.
It was a hair-trigger standoff but Lee Shin’s lips still hovered at the boss’ ear.
“Relax, it’s not a threat. On the contrary, I can help you.”
“!!”
Help? With what?
Е n̂_um a.ǐ d
While the boss stared at him wide-eyed, Lee Shin only smiled meaningfully and straightened up.
Yoon Choa followed his lead, standing as well.

“Noona, give them the down payment.”
A 007 briefcase slid across the table to the boss.
“This is the advance. Think it over and get back to me.”
Don’t forget what I said!

Inside the open case, bundles of cash stacked to the brim.
At the sight, the boss slowly closed his eyes.
“B-Boss… this is…”
“Yeah.”

It was exactly the amount they needed. The other side already knew everything about their situation.
In that moment, the realization struck.

From the instant Lee Shin had spoken, the boss had never had a choice.
As of today, the Russian gang had thrown themselves into the typhoon called Lee Shin.
