Chapter 91
Choi Myung-seok realized he had reached the brink of losing the hospital he had built throughout his entire life due to the live broadcast exposé.
“No, this won’t do. I can’t let some F-rank veterinarian like him acquire and merge my hospital!”
Kang Jin-hyuk wanted to see with his own eyes what action Choi Myung-seok would take. Indeed, what choice would he make? As the siren grew closer, Choi Myung-seok’s face grew increasingly restless.
“Director Choi. Would you not care to discuss your severe moral deficiencies and illegal medical practices with me?”
“You insane bastard! You think I’d discuss such nonsense with you?”
“Oh, but you must. As I mentioned earlier, I, Kang Jin-hyuk, will acquire and merge this hospital exclusively. You saw it yourself, didn’t you? Director Choi conducting illegal treatment. And now that you’ve been caught, do you truly believe your hospital will continue operating without incident?”
Faced with Kang Jin-hyuk’s audacity and exposure, Choi Myung-seok mentally ran the numbers through his head. No matter how he calculated it, the result remained the same.
“You bastard.”
Upon hearing the words that escaped Choi Myung-seok’s lips, Kang Jin-hyuk simply laughed.
“Director Kang. Should I take care of that bastard for you?”
Ma Dong-tak spoke while proudly displaying his enormous muscular physique. Simultaneously, the Hunter Association audit team and government armed forces who had arrived let out startled exclamations upon seeing Ma Dong-tak’s face. They were seized by the terror that their spines might fold under his presence.
“Eek!”
“What, you bastards. Did I look like nothing more than a trainer at Bing-dali Gym all this time?”
“M-Ma Dong-tak…! Ares Guild… Hunter Ranking 2nd….”
“Speaking of which, who was 1st again?”
“That is… w-well….”
“Never mind. I’m currently working at Arcana Super-Large Dimensional Comprehensive Hospital, and this hospital is where I’ll be staying for the time being, so it would be wise not to touch it carelessly. If you do, I might just fold your spines and escort you all nicely to heaven.”
In response to Ma Dong-tak’s warning, the Hunter Association audit team and government armed forces found themselves in a standoff before Kang Jin-hyuk’s group.
Until just moments ago, Kang Jin-hyuk had been confronting Choi Myung-seok, but now he spoke to those who had come to apprehend him with a subtle smile in his eyes.
“You came to arrest me, didn’t you? But here’s the problem. What’s far more serious is Director Choi Myung-seok right there. Refining nectar and instructing hunters to be deliberately made to disappear—it doesn’t look particularly good, does it? Tell me, whom will you choose? Kang Jin-hyuk, who has lived righteously while treating demonic beasts, or Choi Myung-seok, who has harmed humans behind the scenes to accumulate wealth. I leave the choice to you.”
Kang Jin-hyuk raised both his hands, making it clear that he held nothing in them.
Then.
Choi Myung-seok bolted toward Apollo Hospital.
Once inside Apollo Hospital, he locked the doors so that no one could enter. Inside Apollo Hospital, there was no one but Choi Myung-seok.
― Crazy! What’s he doing? Isn’t Director Choi Myung-seok about to have his spine folded by Ma Dong-tak right now?
― Look at him defying the 2nd ranked hunter in South Korea lol
― Wow, at this rate Kang Jin-hyuk is just going to end up acquiring and merging all the demonic beast hospitals
Regardless of the viewers’ reactions, Ma Dong-tak swept back his short hair and spoke loudly.
“Director Kang. Should I go inside and take care of that bastard?”
“No, there’s no need for that. After all, he has nowhere to run, so that man will have no choice but to come back out.”
“Ah, so we should wait?”
“Let’s wait just ten minutes. I’m curious to see what kind of trouble Director Choi might cause.”
Ma Dong-tak adjusted his grip on the club he usually carried with him. Could someone who had been supplied nectar and consumed it disguised as medicine truly display his true capabilities? Kang Jin-hyuk found himself letting out a scoff at the unremarkable Choi Myung-seok.
Boom!
Then.
The ground trembled.
It had been only about ten minutes since Choi Myung-seok entered the hospital.
“Hehehehe. It seems Director Choi Myung-seok is doing something inside.”
Ma Dong-tak tried to enter. But Kang Jin-hyuk extended his hand and stopped Ma Dong-tak.
“They probably manipulated the beasts’ power abnormally using nectar, so let’s wait and see. Since they’ve scurried into their hole, at best they’ll drag out some monster bloated with nectar. Isn’t that right, Director Yoo?”
Kang Jin-hyuk turned to his wife Yoo Yi-soo with a sly smile.
Yoo Yi-soo understood the meaning behind her husband’s grin.
No matter that he was her husband, Yoo Yi-soo often found herself unable to restrain Kang Jin-hyuk’s fervent obsession with “money” and “treatment.”
“Yes, Director Kang.”
“But Yi-soo, why are you adopting that formal tone? I haven’t mentioned anything particularly noteworthy during my Tower climb.”
Kang Jin-hyuk spoke with ease, delivering trivial jokes into his earpiece.
Yoo Yi-soo answered with a voice full of complaint.
“Don’t you understand why I’m doing this? Kang Jin-hyuk, haven’t you been forgetting about me all this time?”
As Yoo Yi-soo grumbled, Kang Jin-hyuk tilted his head in confusion.
“Then let me ask you one thing. Kang Jin-hyuk, why did you send Mephistopheles away and put me in the position of Director of Operations?”
“That’s because this bastard Mephistopheles is utterly useless. Our hospital’s motto is this: let’s work together for a long time. Suck and suck some more.”
“Anyway. So you gathered the essence of Demon Kings and implanted an artificial core into me—it was all for a purpose. Not love, but—”
“Be careful, Yoo Yi-soo. The day has come for you to pick up your sword again. Don’t you want to come to the scene?”
“No.”
With her resolute voice, the ground split open with a sharp crack.
Boom-boom-boom!
The asphalt floor split with a sound. At the same moment, what thrust its head up was a grotesque horse-shaped beast with a massive head composed of stitched-together human faces, tears of anguish streaming from the eyes of tortured Hunters.
“Is that bastard insane? She’s really throwing down the gauntlet.”
As Ma Dong-tak added his comment, Kang Jin-hyuk observed him with eyes gleaming with interest.
“Oho. A composite beast gorged on nectar. So they thought that would be enough to slaughter everyone?”
Muttering to himself, Kang Jin-hyuk activated his ‘Divine Eye’ and examined the body of the beast shrieking in agony.
[System: Activating special skill ‘Divine Eye’.]
“Ah. Just as I thought—the head is several times larger than a normal beast’s, and the body can’t support it, so cervical vertebrae one through seven are all damaged. Moreover, the femur is also abnormal. If left alone like this, it seems it would die on its own from cervical fracture.”
Boom!
The ground trembled once more.
This time, Choi Myung-seok appeared riding a sleek, agile monster with wings spanning several meters.
“I will definitely return to reclaim my hospital.”
Just as Choi Myung-seok was about to leave.
“Where do you think you’re going?”
Ma Dong-tak grabbed the wings of the puma-like beast Choi Myung-seok was riding and spun it around. As the beast’s feathers scattered and flew in all directions, Kang Jin-hyuk raised his scalpel, gazing at the monster whose head was composed of stitched-together Hunters, emitting pained groans.
“Hmm. If I rashly swing my scalpel at that head monster, something terrible will happen. What should I do?”
While Kang Jin-hyuk examined the beast with a hawk’s gaze, Ma Dong-tak spun the beast in circles to prevent Choi Myung-seok from escaping.
Gaaaack!
The beast vomited first.
The winged beast couldn’t take flight and crashed to the ground. The beast immediately began to flee.
Abandoning Choi Myung-seok.
“Good work, Director Choi.”
Crack-crack-crack!
Ma Dong-tak cracked his knuckles one by one, loosening up his hands.
Choi Myung-seok’s eyes wavered with uncertainty.
“Oh, Director Choi. You needn’t fear me so. Let’s follow the ways of Kangho—or rather, the laws of Hunters. You see, I truly despise how nectar was stolen from Hunters and repackaged as medicine for profit. What are your thoughts on this, Director Choi?”
“Director Ma. Take it easy.”
When Kang Jin-hyuk interjected, Ma Dong-tak nodded to show his agreement, then slowly advanced toward Choi Myung-seok.
“Very well, Director Choi. Are you prepared for this? The price of sin must be paid. Let’s examine that creature—its bones fused from countless beasts.”
Ma Dong-tak had spent so long beside Kang Jin-hyuk that his intuition had become razor-sharp. He’d reached a level where he could discern a patient’s condition at a glance.
“Then I shall begin.”
Click, click-click!
“Wait, wait! Listen, Director Kang. I apologize for my disrespect. I have a proposal for you.”
Then Kang Jin-hyuk spoke with a mocking tone.
“Director Choi. Right now, viewers across the entire world are waiting for a satisfying resolution, aren’t they? In other words, I’m preparing to attract customers from around the globe. Unlike certain people. Unlike those who merely steal nectar here in Korea and cultivate grotesque beast-forms.”
“Still, I’ll hand over everything I have. Please, just spare me. I have people I’m responsible for.”
“Who said I have no one to be responsible for? I’m overwhelmed with responsibility for my hospital family. Let’s finish this quickly, shall we? What do you think?”
“Hie, hieek!”
Choi Myung-seok, crawling backward with his hands on the ground, staggered to his feet.
His legs had lost their strength. He couldn’t break through the sealed passage and collapsed to the floor after only a few meters.
Kang Jin-hyuk slowly approached him.
“Manager Yoo, what should we do with this man?”
Kang Jin-hyuk spoke into his earpiece.
Instead of Yoo Yi-soo’s voice, Luna answered.
“Director. It seems best to implement justice in such circumstances.”
Beris added his own comment.
“Ah, filthy bacteria-ridden creature! Dispose of it quickly. If we drag this out any longer, something truly unpleasant might emerge!”
“Should we deal with that beast first, Beris?”
“Please handle that filthy bacteria first. Besides, it’s making such a racket. Making such noise in a place that demands silence is torment for everyone, isn’t it? It’s not just one or two voices. Everyone is….”
“Okay. We’ll do as Beris says.”
Kang Jin-hyuk activated the Eye of Divine Will once more.
It was to find the creature’s weakness.
Choi Myung-seok rushed toward the beast, apparently believing it would obey his commands.
“Does he truly think that beast is genuinely loyal to him?”
“Kang Jin-hyuk! This is do-or-die! I cannot fall here! Do you know how much I’ve invested to build this wealth, to create beasts from nectar….”
“I tried to handle this gracefully, but since it’s come to this, there’s no choice. Director Ma, let’s move. Forget about that winged oddity. It doesn’t seem to have much offensive power anyway. If you want to truly warm up, shouldn’t you face something at least at the level of that beast?”
Ma Dong-tak smiled wickedly.
Viewers worldwide who saw Ma Dong-tak’s smile wondered what kind of attack the Ares Guild master would unleash.
“Ares Guild’s Ma Dong-tak is seriously amazing, right?”
― Wow, I would’ve lost it
― But how is he planning to handle it?
Ma Dong-tak beckoned toward the beast with his fingers.
“Come on. Let me show you what true power is. You drank nectar and became only this pathetic beast. How pathetic, hm? Didn’t I tell you to exercise properly to avoid muscle atrophy? Come on, let’s go.”
