Since one day.
‘Vigilantes’ began their activities simultaneously all over the world.
-Gyaaaah!
-Hey, there’s a corpse here… …!
Bodies began to be discovered one by one in the corners of the alleys.
The identities of the dead bodies were revealed to the world by the police and the Hunter Association who responded to reports from citizens and were all wanted villains.
As it turned out, the bodies were indisputably those of vicious criminals.
Among them, there were some petty criminals and ordinary hunters whose crimes were relatively mild, but later investigations often revealed that they were secretly committing heinous crimes behind the scenes.
There was one peculiar thing about this process.
Vigilante had a habit of always leaving a note on the bodies of villains he killed.
The note contained the villain’s name and a brief description of his crimes, making it easier for the police to dispose of the body.
It was clear what this note meant.
-Vigilante is helping the police do their job!
The criminals who killed the villains seemed to be stating their position in that way.
And similar reports from citizens continued to come in from all over the place.
-Vigilante! Now active in Brazil!
-Vigilante! Finally in Canada!
-Death Note Killer! Arrived in the Philippines too!
… … .
This craze spread like wildfire and quickly swept the world.
Reporters were busy spreading dozens of articles that came out every day.
There were two reasons why people around the world lumped together events that took place in countries so physically distant from each other under the name of ‘Vigilante’.
One of them, as I said earlier, was that each and every one of the corpses had a note attached to it, aka a ‘death note’.
Another reason is that the survivors who barely escaped the villains thanks to Vigilante all had the same eyewitness accounts of Vigilante.
-I saw a black shadow.
This one word was the end of it.
People couldn’t help but draw one conclusion because of the interviews that repeated the same thing, saying that they couldn’t properly see the impression.
-Vigilante is not the movement of a single individual, but is believed to be a huge group!
This was no longer an individual’s deviation or revenge against villains.
Vigilante meant a group that moved collectively with the same purpose and justice.
-What is the true purpose of the Vigilante, the national vigilante group!
-Vigilante, who cleans up villains all over the world!
-Discussion) Ask Vigilante, who commits serial murders by their own justice, ignoring the law, if he is qualified!

-What is justice! Do villains have human rights?
-I ask the opposite! Vigilante only punishes awakened criminals! The police’s job is still the same, and Vigilante is a police force solely for the awakened!
– Breaking news) Villain crime rate rapidly decreasing worldwide!
-What is the citizens’ position?
“Hehehe. The world is so noisy.”
It was truly an ironic world.
The International Hunters Association has been debating for days on end over whether Vigilante should be considered a villain or given the distinction of villain hunter.
But it was a waste of time.
In the first place, nothing would change if they argued without knowing who they were.
On the surface, of course.
Here were people who knew the instigators of all these events.
“Adam, have you seen this? Our Suho is really coming out for real.”
Thomas Andre was lying leisurely on the sofa, chuckling as he watched the Vigilante articles coming up day after day.
The sight of him looking as if he was delighted by his grandson’s talents caused Adam White, the director of the US Hunter Bureau, to sigh with a very puzzled expression.
“There is a limit to pretending not to know. Some people are already saying that Vigilante’s impression is similar to the black shadows that appeared in the Chinese video.”
“Oh, Adam! Don’t try so hard and just let it flow! It’s only a matter of time before Vigilante finds out that he’s related to Seongsuho.”
“ha…….”
Adam White couldn’t help but sigh again at those irresponsible words.
If it weren’t for Thomas Andre, the American Hunter Bureau would have already gone looking for Suho.
But as long as Thomas Andre was protecting the country like that, the United States could never go against his words.
What is the reason?
‘Thomas Andre… … is getting stronger and stronger.’
Kuk.
Adam White clenched his sweaty fists and watched Thomas Andre leisurely drinking tomato juice like a bum.
It was now known to the world that Thomas Andre was being held by the American Hunter Bureau for murdering Christopher.
And on the surface, he was waging a legal battle with the Hunter Bureau with a large number of lawyers.
First trial, second trial… … .
But it was all set up and just a show.
Meanwhile, Thomas Andre was secretly tracking down foreign cults with the Hunter Bureau.
Operation name: Police Dark Hunter.
For a name that was hastily made, the results were quite good.
They have already discovered several strongholds of foreign religions hiding in the United States and have even directly captured and killed their priests.
But something strange happened.
Every time Thomas Andrew killed a priest… … his power grew stronger.
After realizing that fact, Adam White was, frankly, very scared.

‘I can’t believe it even when I see it. A hunter who grows the more he fights… … No, it’s a little different from that feeling.’
Adam White, who had seen him up close so far, corrected his thoughts that had just occurred to him.
‘Recovery rather than growth. Thomas Andre seems to regain his original strength as he fights against foreign religions.’
There was some basis for this thought.
As you can see from looking at the various awakened people, most people feel a sense of elation when their powers suddenly increase.
It is easy to become intoxicated by its power.
But Thomas Andre’s reaction was a little different.
‘This man is delighted as his power grows stronger. He looks as if he has come home.’
That sight was completely incomprehensible to Adam White’s common sense.
And any area of incomprehension is bound to give rise to fear and terror.
At the same time, it was also incredibly reassuring that this man was still on America’s side.
‘One thing is clear.’
As director of the Hunter Bureau, the agency that protects America, Adam White knew one thing clearly.
‘This man already possesses a level of power that surpasses that of an ordinary S-class hunter.’
The moment Thomas Andre turns against the United States, America will be faced with a war on the level of nuclear war.
“… … So how long do we have to suppress the information?”
Thomas smiled and answered Adam White’s question, shaking off his distracting thoughts.
“Of course, until Suho gives the signal.”
“So when exactly is that… … .”
“I think it will be sooner or later.”
The answer came in a calm voice from his secretary, Laura.
Laura was holding a tablet next to Thomas and checking the news from Korea.
It was truly a remarkable thing.
In fact, just a few days ago, Korea was the country most noisy about the Vigilante issue.
But trends change really quickly.
“Korean public opinion is no longer interested in Vigilante. Everyone is only talking about North Korea.”
“North Korea?”
“This also seems to be an issue regarding Hunter Seongsuho.”
At those words, Adam White also nodded, showing interest in the news from Korea.
“Hmm. It seems that all the major guilds in Korea are supporting Seongsuho Hunter. With this level of ability, it would be a good idea to send him to North Korea to help the association president.”
“Some claim that large guilds are colluding to send hunters who they think would be their competitors to North Korea.”
“Hehehe. North Korea… … . I guess Suho wants to run wild.”
Thomas Andre smiled meaningfully, saying that he understood Suho’s feelings.
Adam White felt very uneasy because the sight seemed to indicate that he too was twitching his hands, wanting to run wild, and he spoke quickly.
“It won’t be as easy as it sounds. If you only think about your own country’s safety, sending a strong hunter to North Korea will definitely be a loss.”

“Yes. For these reasons, public opinion is currently split in favor and against, and there is no sign of it leaning to either side. Without some decisive factor, it seems unlikely that we will gain approval for a trip to North Korea.”
“It’s an opportunity… … .”
Thomas’ eyes turned playful as he listened to Laura’s words, which accurately analyzed the situation.
“I think I know what that is.”
It was just then.
Thomas Andre’s cell phone rang.
“I received a call from Hunter Seongsuho.”
Thomas jumped up from his seat as Laura spoke.
And as soon as he received Soo-ho’s call, he smiled with his teeth exposed.
“Adam, now is the time.”
Thomas raised the corners of his mouth and met Adam White’s eyes.
“Link Vigilante and Seongsuho together.”
“… … I see. That is indeed so.”
There was no need to say anything.
Adam White, who has been through a lot in politics, knows exactly what he has to do.
Adam nodded and immediately summoned the management staff.
And after a while.
Foreign media began to cover the connection between the Korean hero who saved India and Vigilante.
At that time, information about Sung Soo-ho began to be released one by one in Korea as well.
Suddenly, public opinion in Korea began to change rapidly.
-Video) Live at the Rocktac Field filmed by China
The invisible hand influenced the algorithm.
All the people of South Korea were able to see Suho standing side by side with thousands of black shadows in the video.
-What the heck! That black shadow!
-Are they all Vigilantes?!
… … !
People all over the world who had witnessed the Vigilantes began to recognize them simultaneously.
-Then who the hell is the Hunter with those Vigilantes?!
-What does this have to do with Vigilante!
-That guy is a Korean hunter?
-Isn’t it dangerous to just leave that guy in Korea?
“As expected of Adam. This should be enough.”
Thomas Andre, who read the rapidly changing atmosphere, smiled with satisfaction.
“As an opportunity to expel Suho to North Korea.”

Overnight, all public opinion in Korea began to focus on Seong Su-ho.
-Indian hero Seongsuho! Who is he!
-Seongsuho of the Woojin Guild! Why has his information been hidden from the association until now?!
Papapapapang!
And now, at this moment.
Reporters swarmed in front of Suho like a swarm of bees, dazzling him with their flashes of light.
Behind him, Yoo Jin-ho was asking Su-ho with an expression like he was looking at a child left in a stream.
“… … Are you really okay with this?”
“sure.”
Seong Su-ho suddenly finds himself under enormous public attention and pressure.
Now he was standing in the official press conference room hosted by the association.
Beep-
After a while, the noisy reporters’ voices suddenly stopped with a sharp resonance.
Cold silence.
In the middle of it all, Sung Soo-ho stood tall and took the microphone to answer the questions of numerous reporters.
What they were curious about was Suho’s true identity.
Before answering, Suho took a moment to think about the tasks facing him one by one.
These are quests that you create yourself, not ones created by the system.
1. Protect Essil’s territory in the demon realm.
-Reward: When Eshil becomes the Demon King, you can obtain the ‘Purified Demon King’s Blood’.
2. Investigate the nightmare flower bud with Hunter Seo Ji-woo.
-Reward: You can go to the afterlife sea where the ‘World Tree’ is.
3. Go to North Korea.
-Reward: Fast level up
The first two were quests to obtain materials for making the Divine Water of Life, and were tasks that had to be completed in order to save Suho’s grandfather, Seong Il-hwan.
Currently, Sung Il-hwan’s body was in an unstable state where it would not be strange if a dimensional crack suddenly appeared in his body and he was torn apart at any time due to the numerous external stones embedded in his body.
In order to restore that state, the Divine Water of Life had to be created as quickly as possible.
However, in order to solve the first two quests, it would be advantageous for Suho himself to become stronger than he is now.
In order to do that, it is also important to go to North Korea and work hard to level up.
‘Yes, to save Grandpa… … this is the fastest way.’
Suho raised the corners of his mouth as he leisurely glanced at the numerous reporters who had gathered to see him, making that pledge.
“Hunter Seongsuho! We want answers!”
Then, one of the reporters who had been silent bravely asked a question.
Then, simultaneously, questions began to pop up again from here and there.
“What is your relationship with Vigilante!”
Advertisements
“Are you the leader of Vigilante as rumored!”
“What is your true identity!”
“… … .”
At that moment, a junk item from his inventory suddenly appeared in Suho’s hand.
Yes, this is the most sure way.
The embarrassment will only last a moment, but the effect will be definite.
Suho put on the ‘Item: Crow Mask’ on his face, closed his eyes tightly, and opened his mouth.
“I am… … Beast King Crow.”
… … !
Papapapapang!
At that moment, camera flashes burst out like crazy towards Suho again.
It was finally the moment when the identity of the Beast King Crow, known as the unidentified villain or hero, was revealed to the world.
-Breaking News) What is the real reason why the large guilds were trying to send Seongsuho Hunter to Association Chairman Woojincheol?
