BXBX NOVEL Chapter 113: The Plot 2
Chapter 113: The Plot 2
“So you haven’t taken this to the boss?”
“Not yet.” One of the raid members replied to his superior.
“How... there are so many monsters to consider...”
“I can’t believe it but no matter how many times I checked, the data seemed to be correct. This small valley has up to 60 monsters in it.”
The leader got up from his seat and accessed the data log. He checked the time frame, erased everything one by one and shut everything down only to reboot it an hour later.
“This is really...”
“Isn’t it?”
The radar showed the same result even after through the reboot and he was still as surprised as before. Discovering a gathered mass of 60 monsters in a single area was better than gold.
“But, why are they here and so many?”
The raid member scratched his head at the leader’s question. He didn’t know why either.
“Maybe for copulation...”
“Copulation? Ha...?”
Click...
“Ha, this guy... good job. Always such a perfectionist.”
“Yeah...”
“Entering into this place will be difficult but we can’t miss this chance. We’re going to have to be very careful.”
“What if the herd of monsters has a leader?”
“A leader?...”
The leader took a deep breath before he answered, “If that’s the case then tell me and I’ll handle it... The valley is a secret area so everyone needs to be very careful and alert. Got it?”
“Yes, sir.”
The leader went through the papers again and this time, he looked as if he had a headache. “This is a problem. If so many are gathered there then we could be in danger.”
***
The raid leader reported everything they found to the Daehyeon clan presidents.
“We’ll start our briefing...”
“Today at 3 am, seven of our raid members found a valley full of monsters along with the help of their leader. The raid leader wasn’t completely sure about why they were there but we rechecked everything and it seems to be true.” The assistant said as he showed them all of the evidence on a tablet.
Songjae read the data and replied, “Are they sure about this?”
“When the daylight came, they were able to make sure that it was indeed true. The location of the valley severely limits the use of our drones but even so, there’s enough proof that this is true.”
“Good. Do they think there could be many monsters with ranks of 8 and 9 in that valley?”
Songjae asked but they didn’t give him an answer. They had to take extreme precautions since it would just take a single eighth-ranked monster to destroy their team. The raid master then tried to explain the difficulty that they could face.
“We would have to be very careful. An entire herd of 60 monsters with ranks sixth to eight could destroy us all. Especially if it’s a ninth tier monster.” The raid team leader said.
Songjae didn’t seem angry at his response. Even he understood the risks they could face.
“Well, what could we do in this situation?”
“We won’t have to worry about a 6th tier monster with our usual attack crew, but taking down a 9th tier monster would take a fourth or fifth tier hunter. We would have to get 60 top tier hunters to be able to handle it.”
“Wow... 60 top tier hunters... Would we even be able to ask the National Hunter Association for that?”
“Maybe. Unless we have any other alternative options.”
The leader then said, “Well... Our country does have Gwanjae. There’s a chance that we would be able to find someone that could help us with this.”
Everyone fell silent. It’s true that they needed a lot of strong hunters but they all wondered if it’s okay to ask Gwanjae for help.
“Do we have any soldiers that could maybe handle it? Gwanjae can’t be the only level 7 hunter in our country,” The raid team leader asked but no one seemed to agree.
Everyone knew that Gwanjae was one of the very few who was considered as the strongest of all. It would cost them a lot of money to get a soldier as skillful as him.
“So, in conclusion, you guys need help?” Songjae asked and they nodded their heads. “Well then, I’ll find Gwanjae.”
At that moment, Songjae had a big decision to make since it would have been such a shame if they gave up on that opportunity.
***
The next day, Songjae requested a precise report on the valley so he could plan out their advancement.
“How are we going to do this?” The assistant asked Songjae who was talking with Gwanjae at the moment.
“Gwanjae agreed to lead the soldiers on the raid,” Songjae said and his assistant smiled. “Yes, he has decided to help us on our mission.”
“But why is his face...”
“He has a condition.”
“What kind of condition?...”
“We’ll have to help them get rid of the Japanese clan.”
“Huh? How are they going to do that?...”
“I already know all of that.”
“This can’t be true...” He thought that maybe it really was a condition. It meant that they would have to cut ties with them completely.
“The Japanese clan has a close relationship with the Samjeon church who are close to us...”
“...”
“I” ll explain it a little bit further. We don’t have to do much, we’re already powerful enough as it is.” Songjae then replied
“We really don’t need them at all...”
The assistant began to get nervous as he watched their subtle argument.
“Will America even do anything? There’s not much they could do anyway.”
Justin Point’s recovery? The recovery of the Oaks? Betraying the Samjeons? Even if they were sorry, something like that would be very unnecessary.
“We have to do it. If not then what Gwanjae said will happen.”
“What?”
“Is it about the Japanese clan?”
“And?”
“We’ll have to take all of the responsibility for what happens. They already had some decent proof against us. That guy is so annoying, isn’t he? The Japanese clan makes up the 20 percent of hunters in Japan. There’s no way we could get away with an assassination.”
“And they are very strong.”
“They are, but what’s the difference between us and them? We’ve helped them before, haven’t we?”
The assistant then nodded his head.
“That is right. The Japanese clan and the Samjeons were really annoying in the beginning too.”
“Well then...”
“Alright. We begin tonight.”
“But sir, what if that thing about the monster’s leader was not true?”
Songjae gave his assistant a slight nod. “There’s nothing that we could do about it it’s not but if it is, then it would be a good thing that we’re ready. They also said that the weakest monster there was an eight-tier monster.
“I can’t believe they would blindly believe something like that.”
“I know. But besides that, are there still people left in that place?”
There was a secret hideout for their assassination team.
“Yes.”
“Good. let’s handle it like this from now on.”
***
“...What is it?”
“Is there anything up ahead there?”
“I’ll go check,” Dongchul replied to Jaehwang. They were close friends but sometimes when Jaehwang covered his head with a hood, he would wonder if there was still a human beneath it.
“Should we attack the Daehyeon clan?”
“That was the original plan. First I was going to get the evidence and hand it to Songjae.”
“There aren’t any monsters there, right?” Dongchul asked.
“I don’t think there will be but I’ve already explained this. There could possibly be a lump of sixty monsters around there. Gwanjae was already contracted to do a raid for that.
“I see...”
“We’ll check to be sure and we’ll make our move while Songjae is distracted by their assassination attempt on the Japanese clan.” Jaehwang had everything planned out.
“But what if Songjae realizes what’s going on and fights back?” Dongchul asked.
“That could happen so that why we’re coming here. Songjae won’t expect anything at all.”
***
Songjae was in the process of carrying out his plan to assassinate the leader of the Japanese clan. The plan was simple. They would go to their hideout which was the best place to attack.
The hideout was located in the outskirts of Pyeongan studio apartments. When the monster radar’s alert starts, the assassination team will surround the safe house with their weapons.
Of course, it wouldn’t mean that they would be able to handle everything. Their assassination team was big enough to surround their safe house but if half of them were to get injured or die, they would have to stop the mission entirely.
The next day, their clan had swarmed the valley for their raid and Songjae just stood there to wait for the outcome of their battle. He also wanted to join them on their fight but his skills weren’t as advanced as his soldiers.
“Wait here a little longer.”
“I’m nervous.” Songjae couldn’t hide his anxiousness as he sat inside the clan bus.
Gwanjae did join them on the raid but even that wasn’t enough to make him feel safe. He just quietly sat on the bus waiting to see how everything went.
“Is the raid still going on?”
“Yeah. The monsters were gathered in a very cold place but that didn’t stop our detectors, everything will be done shortly.”
“Phew...” Songjae took a deep breath and checked the monitor. It had a dark blue background with a lot of yellow dots.
“Is that where they are supposed to go?” His assistant asked. Songjae then pressed a button on the monitor.
“Why isn’t anything happening?”
The results showed up but there were no monsters to be found.
“We might have missed it.”
Songjae then thought of a meeting previously had with Gwanjae.
He felt like he was hiding something.
“Maybe all of this was a plan?” Songjae said and his assistant then looked bit confused.
“Sir, even if that is the case, it wouldn’t matter. You’ve already told them about the Japanese clan, haven’t you?”
“Right,” Songjae replied. The leader of the assassination team should have already contacted Sasaki, the leader of the Japanese clan.
There’s no way they could attack them. But if so, they would cause a lot of damage. Their deal with the Japanese clan would be undoubtedly be broken off.
“How did the assassination go?”
“They’re traveling back to Seoul but it’s not happening there.”
“Wow, we’re pretty unbelievable.”
“I know.” Songjae simply replied. He was still deep in thought about the dangers of the monsters they could run into on the raid.
“I’m so nervous.”
