The Return of the Disaster-Class Hero

Chapter 94 - I Never Asked for This (1)

A month had passed since Lee Gun's return, and every day had been eventful for the top media companies. The media members monitored someone as they whispered to each other.

"Please be careful, chief! He's over there in the back!"

A watchdog dispatched by a Zodiac Saint was monitoring them. In other words, this person was suppressing the press from publishing certain stories.

This man regularly made an appearance. He made sure no frivolous story about the Zodiac Saints got out. If the story was egregious, he would directly get involved to suppress it.

Since a Zodiac Saint's power depended on people's faith, such involvement was inevitable. However, the situation had been much worse in recent days.

"Hey! There are too many stories about Lee Gun! Erase them! Write some stories about our Saint-nim!"

Lee Gun's presence and actions garnered a lot of attention. When he had exited the Devil's Tower, his story had been the top one.

In the end, the reporters had to secretly investigate Lee Gun.

"What about the fact-finding group that was sent to the Devil's Tower? An investigation team went there when the Devil's Tower fell. It has already been a month."

The reporter who had gone searching for the answer to this question looked rattled.

"Ah! That's..."

"What is it?"

"The members of the investigation team that went to the tower are missing!"

"!"

Their conversation had been a bit too loud. The watchdog glared at the reporters. The reporters didn't pay any attention to the man as they whispered to each other.

"It was a special investigation team where each country sent a representative!"

A man snorted as he placed a cigarette between his lips.

"They weren't an international investigative team. They probably went to the tower to recover anything Lee Gun left behind...."

The investigative team wanted to find out what had happened at the tower, but at the same time, they also wanted to find anything there that could make them money. They wanted dibs on anything they found. In the end, they found a bunch of dead monster corpses. This had garnered a lot of attention.

"Whoever made it out of the tower was in a complete state of panic. They all said Lee Gun was nuts for being able to stay inside the tower for twenty years."

"...!"

Any awakened being chosen for the special investigation team possessed above-average mental fortitude. Despite this, all of them had been afraid to enter the tower. They shook in fear.

There were no monsters inside, yet the tower's interior was so terrible. How much more hellish would the tower have been with the monsters?

A chill had run up everyone's spine. Lee Gun had boldly exited from such a place.

And this wasn't all.

"Have you heard? The observatory detected the presence of the thirteenth Zodiac."

"!"

That's right. The Goat Saint had given testimony that a new Saint had appeared. Of course, everyone didn't believe it. However, the five observatories had confirmed it.

[The thirteenth Saint exists.]

The observatories were institutes the twelve Zodiac Saints had jointly created. They would never lie in this matter.
