The Return of the Disaster-Class Hero

Chapter 75 - Trial of Strength (2)

It was the day of his son's 5th birthday.

[I'm sorry, honey! I don't think I will be able to make it there again. Please tell Sungjae that I am sorry!]

Chun Jiwoo! Hugo's wife was a researcher for MIT. She was so busy with her work that after her son Sungjae had learned to walk, her family had seen her only once or twice a year.

Her absence was related to the fact that Lee Gun had died. Specifically, it was related to a <Lee Gun> weapon, a weapon that could kill the ever-increasing number of monsters. The weapon, which was a missile, was at the final stages of completion.

'The weapon left behind by Mr. Lee Gun became an important base.'

Chun Jiwoo had been a fan of both Lee Gun and Hugo. After researching Lee Gun's weapon, she had found a clue that could potentially spell the end of the monsters. Of course, her colleagues didn't think Lee Gun's weapon was worth researching. But Chun Jiwoo trusted her husband, who had told her about Lee Gun's abilities.

Due to her dedication to her research, she had found a hint.

[A line of monster weapons that doesn't affect humanity has been developed.]

In reality, Lee Gun had made it. With this weapon, Chun Jiwoo knew that her husband wouldn't have to do the breaking work of fighting on his own.

The weapon would first be used around the tower Lee Gun had fallen in. Hugo had always wanted to search the Devil's Tower, and this weapon would allow him to do that.

On 7/15/2015, the weapon was close to being finished. Chun Jiwoo had arrived at her destination at 1 am.

"Mom!"

Her son had wanted to see her as his birthday present, so she had immediately returned to Korea. Although she had a busy schedule, it was a request made by her young son, who never asked for anything.

Her five-year-old son was nodding off as he waited for his mother at the airport. The kid's father, Hugo, had been hired for mercenary work and he had asked a close subordinate to pick up his wife.

The trio of Chun Sungjae, Chun Jiwoo, and Hugo's subordinate had been returning home in a car.

"Mom. I'm hungry."

"Sungjae, it won't be long before we reach our house."

"I'm hungry..."

"Sungjae!"

"It's fine, Madam. Sungjae didn't eat his dinner. He was waiting for your return. It's understandable that he is hungry. We can visit the drive-through over there."

"I'm thankful that you brought Sungjae at this hour. I feel bad about this!"

"Haha! It's fine. I'm doing this because I like it."

While they had visited the fast-food joint, an incident had occurred.

"Madam!"

The incident was a major one that the news had covered extensively at the time.

<A red fog accompanied by a Red-zone monster appeared in the middle of the city.>

<One Archer Disciple and a thirty-year-old female were killed.>

<Two brothers in high school were able to run away>

<Shock reverberates as a Legendary-rank monster shows up in the middle of the city>
