The Omega Hunter (Solo Leveling)

chapter 3

The banquet was named 'Night of the Hunters', all the influential Hunters and their parties were invited.

As soon as Sung Jin-Woo arrived at the venue, all eyes were directed to him; whispers broke out.

"Look, isn't that......"

"That's the Korean Hunter, right?"

"The hunters that defeated Thomas Andre."

"The one that ascertained to be an Omega?"

"It seems so; he doesn't look like an Omega."

"I can't even smell any pheromones from him."

"Hey! didn't he fight Thomas Andre because of the beta next to him?"

After the Hunter's Association released the official statement, the situation on the internet had more or less died down; the people were still curious about the whole Sung Jin-Woo being an Omega situation.

A shiver ran down all the hunter's spines as they realised that the warning that night was probably not a bluff since he was even willing to clash with the Scavenger Guild for a mere D rank beta hunter.

This realisation increased admiration for Sung Jin Woo in their hearts.

But ever since the news of Sung Jin-Woo being an Omega was released, all the hunter's started to seek a chance to talk with the Omega.

Yoo Jin Ho guided the approaching businessmen away from Sung Jin Woo as he did not want his Hyung-nim to be uncomfortable while being trapped in this large crowd.

With a worried glance towards Jin Woo, he moved towards a different spot.

Noticing Jin Ho's actions, Jin-Woo smiled in amusement. This kid.... Even though he knew that Jin Woo can take care of himself, he is still worried. Knowing that he is appreciated and cared for made Sung Jin-Woo happy.

Adam White was discussing some important things with Sung Jin Woo. He does not know how he is supposed to act towards the other. Other than being polite and drawing a line between them since he is an Alpha.

Then a commotion rose from across the hall. The appearance of a certain someone had thrown the guests into a state of confusion and panic.

Noticing the presence, Adam worriedly looked at Jin Woo.

"H-Hunter nim...."

"Don't worry."

The cause of the commotion didn't display any hint of hesitation as he strode towards Jin Woo and halted right in front of the Korean hunter, before removing his sunglasses.

Liu Zhigeng, who was watching from the sidelines, smiled in amusement.

"Thomas Andre"

Jin Woo didn't seem bothered by Thomas Andre's actions; the same could not be said for the onlookers, who were freaking out by now.

"Hunter Sung Jin-Woo, I want to ask a question."

Jin Woo did not look puzzled in the least bit by this, he seemed to have expected this.

What confused Jin Woo was that he could not sense any ill-intent from Thomas Andre. So he nodded for the hunter to continue.

"I heard that the damage sustained by my arm from the magic attack was so severe that it would take a long time for it to heal; it will take a long time for me to be able to use my arm properly again."

Blocking the attack had resulted in him having to endure severe pain. But the pain gave him the clarity to think about what happened; the more he thought, the more perplexed he grew. That is the reason why he arrived at the banquet so that he could seek answers from Sung Jin-Woo.
