Jaehwang got onto the military bus and the ride back was quite peaceful. While he was on the bus he was given the equipment bought from the NewPort Airport.
For the first time he was annoyed by his good will. And it wasn’t the fact that he arrived at the airport.
There was a crowd of people waiting to greet him at the airport. Thanks to the colony 22 drone that recorded everything during the raid and save Jaehwang when he needed help. Afterwards the video was posted online and the video was seen by lots of people. As time continued to pass by the video gained more and more attention.
Everyone on TV and the internet has been talking about it since it was uploaded online.
He was still known by his nickname ‘Fatal’ so many people recognized that it was him.
Now even more people from before wanted to meet him and interview him.
People were even falling him around with cameras and there were others asking for his autograph.
“Jaehwang?”
“Yes”
“The president of American, Jack Linton, wants to give you a call…”
“Tell him that him resting and healing right now.”
“All of your treatments will be finished soon so you will be ready to talk and move around then.”
Rumi said.
“Okay.”
Jaehwang replied.
Rumi then gently smiled at his reply.
In the past Rumi used to be a little rude to him. Why was she taking such good care of him? It was also the first time he saw her smile. It was like she was a different person.
“So many are praising him right now.”
A monitor on the ceiling turned to face Jaehwang.

The TV turned on and there was a news channel talking about Jaehwang.
-We are now reporting in Virginia. A video by colony 22 has caused an amazing reaction among the citizens of the state! Someone named ‘Jaehwang’ is being worshipped like a god.
-There has been a video going viral that showcased him on a recent raid fighting against a very powerful monster. He saved us all from a great danger.
Every channel was talking about the news.
Everyone was watching the video of the raid. No one had a hard time identifying that it was Jaehwang in the video even though he was wearing a hood.
His name has been everywhere ever since. Even more so than before since he was already known as ‘Fatal’.
“It couldn’t have been done without you, Jaehwang.”
Rumi said.
Ever since Jaehwang became wildly popular her attitude towards him changed. Jaehwang heard that her parents died hunting monsters. It was a case similar to the situation that he was just in. they opened a wormhole and a monster came out and attacked them.
After her parents died she had to live in an orphanage. She felt helpful knowing there was someone like Jaehwang around who could also understood her situation.
-Is she normally like that?
-She seems happy.
-I don’t know. I guess it is a little different.
-Maybe she’s trying to trick you.
-You think so? She is being strangely nice all of a sudden but I don’t think it’s nothing like that…
-Anyways, don’t accept any kind of fanaticism.
The spirit said.
Jaehwang then nodded his head in agreement. If he were to show how sad he was then people would pity him so he rather just put on a brave face.
But, of course there was another reason for that.
‘I have to catch him…’
Jaehwang’s number one target was Baekren. After a few analysations he found out that Baekren had many more years of fighting experience than him making him very powerful to compete against.
He had to find a way to get stronger and that was exactly what he was going to use his powerful influence for.
His plan was to take advantage of that and lure Baekren into a trap.
But, before that, there was something he had to do.
“Let’s take a rest for a little.”
“I have to get going.”
Deukkdeuk… Click… Click…
Rumi left the room and closed the door behind her.
Jaehwang then checked the skill status window.
-New Archery Skill (High rank)
Possessor: Jeon Jaehwang
Effects
Present skill attack rate – All increased by 30 percent
His new arrow skills were very unique.
The effects had increased and a pretty decent rate.
Just as the spirit said, it was very limited to magic use but it had the effects to make up for it. It was really going to come in handy when he’ll fight Baekren again.
-Money is the biggest problem.
Jaehwang said. They were very low on money and didn’t even have what they needed for equipment. The more a hunter’s level went up the more expensive the equipment would be.
-50 dollars… 5,000…
Jaehwang thought about what he needed to get and how much he needed.
-Okay, okay. Let’s hurry.
He said.

“I’m here.”
“Great. Good job.”
Gwanjae said to Jaehwang
Jaehwang then sat down in a chair across from Gwanjae. He looked at Jaehwang with a delighted look on his face.
For a moment there was nothing but silence that filled the room.
Jaehwang then smiled and said,
“I’ve gotten stronger now.”
“Wow, really? You’re improving fast. There’s been someone else from your raid team who I’ve been training with. They’re doing a really great job so far…”
Gwanjae bluntly replied.
“But, how’s everything going? I’ve seen the videos of you everywhere. You’re basically a world known hunter now.”
Gwanjae asked.
“It’s strange…”
Jaehwang replied.
“You’re grandfather hated attention as well.”
“I just wanted to see how you were holding up. It seems to be cameras around you all the time these days. It can be difficult to deal with at times. I know what that’s like.”
Gwanjae explained. His acknowledgement actually helped Jaehwang. It wasn’t one of his usual rambling speeches.
“How long are you resting for.”
“I don’t know. After the fight with the monster I really haven’t been in a good condition…”
“That’s unfortunate.”
Gwanjae noticed that he didn’t seem like himself.
“How much do you think it’ll go for?”
He asked changing the subject.
“It is really big. We planned to sell it at an auction.”
Jaehwang answered.
“Sounds good. You did a great job, as usual.”
“Thanks.”
Jaehwang said politely.
There was a big age gap between the two but they were always able to enjoy a conversation together.
Although he was an unmarried person he thought of Jaehwang as his grandson.
Level 9 Hunter, The end.
