Chapter 21

A gorgeous chandelier.

Expensive liquor set on the table.

Vice Master Lee Minsung was heavily drunk in the VIP room again today. Normally, the room would have been busy with boisterous laughter and intimate skinship, but the atmosphere was different today for some reason.

Clang!

“Ah!” the lady entertaining him screamed in surprise at the sound of the glass he had thrown and shattered.

“Oh, dear. Why is our Minsung in such a bad mood today?”

After a while, a madam entered the room and sat gracefully beside him with a charming smile. At the same time, she gestured to all the other employees to leave.

In the meantime, the ladies quickly escaped from the room, turning the room silent in an instant.

Plop.

The madam poured the wine into a new glass and glanced at Lee Minsung. He had been glaring at his phone with bloodshot eyes since earlier.
‘What’s going on?’

The madam glanced at the screen he was watching.

‘Comments?’

The corners of the madam’s eyes twitched slightly.

– So, who is the hunter who annihilated the Hyena?

– Yeah, they said he went into Gwanak Mountain alone and rescued everyone.

– Amazing. Who on earth is he?

– Info) It’s said that he wore a mask, so even the survivors couldn’t see his face.

– What a mysterious guy. Why hide his face after doing a good deed?

– Isn’t it obvious? There’s a rumor that the Fiend Guild backed the Hyena, so of course he has to conceal his identity.

– Right. We may not know who he is, but I hope he never gets caught. The Fiend will retaliate immediately. Lol.

There was still a lot of ruckus about the Gwanak Mountain Field on the Internet. People were actively speculating about the identity of the Hunter who solved the case alone, but there was just not enough evidence.

– But who could he be?

– Well, if he soloed a boss monster, he must be at least an A-rank Hunter, right?

– You can theoretically finish that dungeon as a B-rank with good skills.

– No, even C or D rank is enough if you’re skilled.

– D-rank, haha

– Oh, stop talking nonsense. Save that for your diary.

Thousands, tens of thousands of comments were all curious about the identity of the Hunter.

While there was a lot of nonsense and jokes, the overall sentiment eventually boiled down to one sentence.

– A hero.

As the heinous acts of the Hyena Guild were revealed one by one; as their image turned increasingly demonic, conversely, the public’s fondness for the Hunter who single-handedly wiped them out skyrocketed nationwide.

“What? You still haven’t found out who he is?”

In an instant, Lee Minsung’s expression crumpled at the madam’s words.

Kriet. Lee Minsung gritted his teeth and glared at the madam. “Who are you teasing?”

“Oh my, I’m not teasing. Obviously I’m worried. Our vice master’s informants must’ve been struggling so badly to get hints that you start looking in the comments.”
