Chapter 37

Bang!

“What the hell are these guys doing now!?”

Lee Minsung, the vice master of the Fiend Guild, smashed the table in anger.

– (Hot News) Beast King Crow!

– Hunter of Unknown Identity Who Gained the King’s Power, Crow!

– Why Did Crow Wear a Mask?

Internet articles were covering the incident in Magok Field.

Knock, knock.

“Vice Master.” Just in time, Secretary Kim came in and delivered a report. “All the Hyena Guild members who entered Magok Field have been found dead. We just recovered the last body.”

Crack! Upon hearing this, Lee Minsung clenched his fist and smashed the armrest of the chair he was holding.
“I knew it would end up like this.” With a frightening expression, Lee Minsung gnashed his teeth. “Now all the pieces of the puzzle fit together.”

It had only been two days since the werewolf members of the Hyena Guild he had caught had suddenly disappeared, leaving him suspicious.

– We’ll check if there’s a factory in Magok.

It was a good excuse. He had pushed them to find a new Stardust factory no matter what.

But Lee Minsung, who didn’t trust them, had attached some Hunters with concealment skills to follow them. The werewolves had a good sense of smell, so they just observed them from a distance.

And as expected, their lies were exposed quickly.

Besides the werewolves, beast Hunters had flocked to Magok to prove themselves ‘worthy of being king’ and were openly walking around.

“They seem to have gone to Magok not for the factory, but to get some kind of power from the King of Beasts.”

And perhaps they were trying to escape from Lee Minsung after obtaining that mysterious power.

Anyway, their goal was eventually successful since they became free in the form of ‘death.’

Secretary Kim continued her report, “After securing several of their corpses and examining the signatures, we found out that they were not killed by magic beasts, but by Hunters’ weapons.”

“No. Not the Hunters.”

“What do you mean?”

Lee Minsung chewed on his lips and looked at the internet news with a confident look in his eyes.

– Why Did Crow Wear a Mask?

“They were killed by demons. The crow mask is like a symbol of demons.”

As soon as he saw the words ‘crow mask;” Lee Minsung immediately thought of the demons at the factory.

For some reason, the demons always wore crow masks on their faces. Just like ‘Crow’!

“That Crow guy is definitely a demon. The demons killed the Hyena Guild members and took away the king’s power.”

“Is that so?”

“I’m sure. Only those with the beast transformation skill had the qualification of the king in the first place. But how could the demons obtain that power?”

“…”

“Don’t know? Can’t you think straight?” Seeing Secretary Kim’s absent-minded expression, Lee Minsung clicked his tongue in frustration. “I’m the one who’s at fault for hiring a stupid guy like you as my secretary. Don’t you remember how the Hyenas turned into werewolves?”
