chapter 13
13 – Choosing Revenge
“… That is all.”
Nyale’s report ended with a cold voice.
At this moment, at the end of the story I heard through Yogus, who is protecting Yuni at this time,
The hall, which had been filled with some anticipation due to the sudden summons just before, began to boil with deep anger and murder in an instant.
“Oh my gosh… “
“You dare.. You dare to do that to Aztas-sama’s younger brother, not to anyone else..”
“Human bastards.. I knew they were dirty guys, but how…”
“My lord! Please give me your order! The warden will go and slit the heads of those bastards right away!”
Colleagues call for punishment against Lee Seol-young and his associates in harsh voices.
At this moment, if I gave an order, they were ready to attack the Olympus Headquarters.
And at the same time, looking at them, I could easily imagine the situation that would follow.
“First of all, everyone calm down. No matter what, it is impossible to move right away.”
“Ah.. Mr. Aztas?”
“Ha..But..”
Colleagues who show great disappointment and bewilderment at my words,
But even so, I knew perfectly well that I shouldn’t have allowed this to happen at this moment.
“I will be grateful for your anger about my work, but.. I will tell you clearly. You can’t hit them right now.”
“That..That..”
“Aztas-sama, those words… I can’t believe…”
“You mean the humans out there are so strong?”
At my words to stop the participation, my teammates began to show vigilance, anxiety, and a spleen that persisted nonetheless.
Even if they are stronger than themselves, they show their will to make a life-or-death decision with those who dared to deceive their masters and inflict indescribable pain.
And… Towards them
I told them about the results of my very cold judgment as the former manager of Olympus and the lord of the demons.
“No, we win if we fight. I’m pretty sure you can get rid of it?”
“Huh?”
“N.. Yes?”
Comparing the strength of Olympus with the strength of her comrades in front of her eyes, the result was obvious.
It was Olympus where Korea’s top hunters were lined up, and I was well aware that Lee Seol-young’s combat power was not normal as he was also an S-class hunter.
However, the colleagues in front of me were not the best of a country, but the world’s strongest, and even as the manager of Olympus, I was grasping most of the detailed information about them.
If you fight, you can literally turn them into powder without leaving even the slightest variable.
However, the problem came after the battle ended like that.
It would be possible to reduce the headquarters of Olympus to ashes in an instant, drag all the people involved to this space, torture them, and then beat them to death.
But… In that case, it was essential for me and my colleagues to expose their full power in the process. This would lead to a huge aggro against Korea and the whole world, where the atmosphere was disturbed due to the Mine crisis.
‘Is Olympus, which is famous all over the world, destroyed in an instant by unknown beings? If that happens, I’m sure government agencies and hunter guilds all over the world will rise up like a hive.’
Although me and my colleagues can change the appearance, there were quite a few hunters who could see through even this.
Even with the ability to find out the location of a person with only blood or hair, in this world, it is not easy to live in seclusion somewhere once a big picture is taken.
In the worst case, we would turn the whole world into an enemy with our identities exposed, and we might end up facing the same miserable end as the demons being hunted by the hunters.
“No matter how much superiority we have in terms of power, if we did that, we might really end up at a dead end. Unlike the other side, this is a world completely dominated by humans.”
“Umm..”
“Haa..”
At my words, my colleagues are beginning to show signs of softening the anger they were expressing.
They, as well as me, were burning with anger toward that Olympus, but everyone had to agree on the fact that we had to act calmly.
Although none of the people in this room, including myself, regretted their own lives, there were also none who did not regret the lives of other comrades.
Right after the heated atmosphere calmed down.
I continued to speak towards them in a voice that was as calm as possible.
“For that reason, I’m going to hold off on killing them with straight attacks for now. Even if you feel unfair and resentful right now, in the world of humans, you have to move according to the human frame. Revenge is also the safest and surest way to proceed according to that framework.”
“… Are you saying that… You’re saying you’re going to proceed with things like the Romanoque Empire?”
Nyale reacted momentarily to my bone-filled words and asked a question.
At the same time, a light of understanding began to shine on the faces of the colleagues present here,
In response, I began to show a cold smile on my lips.
If it’s dangerous to do something outside, you can destroy it from the inside.
As there was a guy who gave me a needle even though I didn’t even set the bait at the right time, I decided to proceed with the work as it is.

Seo Hae-rim, an executive of Asgarrot.
At this moment, a bright, uncontrollable smile appeared on her lips.
“Yeah, yeah, well thought out, what a pity it is to rot that good ability as it is! Once again, I will sincerely welcome you, please take good care of me in the future!”
Seon Woo-jin’s voice came through the receiver.
It contained his intention to accept her offer and work as a member of Asgart.
Although it was difficult that the salary they could give was not as high as that of Olympus, Seon Woo-jin was forced to hold onto her outstretched hand.
At this fact, Haerim felt her sincere joy, and at the same time, she began to have high expectations for the future that was to unfold.
Of course, as Asgart lacks financial power and power compared to Olympus, it will have to go through countless difficulties in order to turn the tide.
However, the recruitment of Seon Woo-jin, a talent she recognized, would be a huge torch that would help overcome those difficulties.
‘Enough now. Woojin Seon Now that this man has joined our guild, the whole game will change. In the meantime, we will end the days of being pushed back by Olympus and we, Asgart, will stand tall as the center of the Hunter Guilds!’

Pain…
At this moment, only that word remained in the man, and he was screaming desperately.
That… Stop! My.. Please gmaaan!!”
A man spewing out a terrible scream that cannot be said to have come from a human mouth.
In the agony of having his intestines ripped alive, his eyes gouged out, his eardrums bursting, and his limbs cut off, he continued to scream endlessly, the only freedom he was allowed.
A man who, until recently, was a doctor at a world-class university hospital and received envy from many people.
But at this moment, he was regretting the whole life he had lived.
The regret of having fallen for her trick and committing something he shouldn’t have remained at the level of the truth already imprinted in his soul.
At this moment, he was regretting every single thing he had done that had brought him to this point.
Studying hard during school days to become a doctor, treating countless patients and building a reputation.
And… Even being born as a human being to wealthy parents.
‘M.. If I hadn’t been born… I wouldn’t be able to taste this kind of pain.
A man who is pouring out screams by mobilizing both body and mind like that..
It was after a very long time had passed that the salvation in the name of death was granted to him.
