The Return of the Disaster-Class Hero

Chapter 3 - You're going to pay for this, bastards! (2)

"What did you just say?"

"Are you sure about that?"

Every reporter in news agencies all over the world was shouting. The news anchors, who were used to prompting thousands of reports a day, couldn't stop talking about it. The topic was the breaking news they had received a short while ago.

"That tower was destroyed?"

"In fact, people found signs that someone or something exited the tower!"

The youngest production director, who had received the news, shouted out loud, "That's right! The whole world is going crazy right now! All the news agencies have sent their reporters to the tower!"

"CNN & BBC already put out headlines saying it might be Lee Gun!"

The producer, who had kept a poker face up until now, dropped his pen. They had already broken some big news today. Yoon Shiwoo, the ace of Korea's best raid team Twin Stars, had become an A-rank disciple. He wasn't an S-rank disciple, but Korea was a land abandoned by the gods. That's why the appearance of a precious high-rank disciple here made the major news channels gas him up. Tonight's main headline was going to rehash the same topic once again, but with this new incident, the news agencies no longer had to suck up to that guy. He wasn't important anymore. No! Even if an S rank user appeared out of thin air, any news about that user would also be buried.

Why?

'This is nuts! It might be about Lee Gun!'

Lee Gun was a legend. He was one of the participants of the <Red Eye Raid>. He was a hero who had allowed humanity to get over its worst crisis. He was one of the original thirteen awakened beings. Of course, twenty years had passed, and the number of awakened beings had grown from twelve in the whole world to tens of thousands in every country. However...

'They can't hold a candle to the very first awakened beings.'

《 Twelve Zodiacs》 They were also called the twelve Saints. They were living legends, who possessed more power than heads of countries. No, they were rulers and dictators. And Lee Gun had stood shoulder to shoulder with them. He was the hero of Korea.

Lee Gun's gravesite was famous all around the world, and it had left a deep mark in humanity's history. That was why its destruction caused a ripple around the world in many ways. Thankfully, no monsters exited the tower.

"What if it wasn't Lee Gun? What if a terrorist did it?"

"What?"

"That tower is famous because it represents the Twelve Zodiacs' achievement, and right now, many forces are against the Twelve Zodiacs."

"That's right. This might simply be an attempt to get their attention."

"What did the Twelve say?"

The production director, who was checking various articles, just shrugged as he spoke.

"No comment."

Ritzy resort in China, Yang Wei, one of the Twelve Zodiacs, furrowed his brows.

<Lee Gun's grave exploded after twenty years.>

Yang Wei had been in Korea when this incident had happened, and he had felt like a parrot. He had to keep repeating the same answer over and over again! And even then, more and more reporters sought him out. Therefore, he had decided to get out of Korea.
