Chapter 104

#Episode 104

After normalizing Scotland, we immediately headed to London.

Actually, I had only heard that there was something in London, but I hadn’t heard how things were going there, so I needed to find out.

When we entered London’s city center riding Luna, countless British citizens were there to welcome us.

The British Prime Minister and Queen greeted us as if telling us to land here.

When I carefully descended, the two national leaders with tears in their eyes grasped both my hands and shook them.

“Thank you… truly thank you.”

“To do this much for a country you’ve never even met… thanks to the light that a hero like you shines, it feels like we can live even in this dark world.”

The two genuinely moved dignitaries wiped away tears and bowed their heads repeatedly.

Even the current British Prime Minister Bane Benedict was a veteran Hunter who also served as Association President.

Despite being an A-rank Hunter rather than S-rank, he was an Association President acknowledged by everyone.

His competence reached the heavens, which is why he currently had a support rate of 85%.

Having roughly grasped the current situation, I smiled warmly with my companions and clasped both their hands once each.

“Don’t mention it, we’re all human so we should help each other live.”

At the fluent British English automatically translated thanks to the Monarch’s privilege, both their faces lit up with joy.

“Since it’s come to this, please come inside. We can’t leave the hero who saved our nation standing out in the wind.”

I glanced at my companions.

They all gestured as if to say do as I pleased, so I nodded.

“Thank you for your hospitality.”

“Don’t mention it. This much is naturally what we should do.”

And so I entered the Royal Palace with my companions.

The Royal Palace, which had once collapsed from monster attacks, was rebuilt much more splendidly and elaborately than before to showcase Britain’s symbol.

Since it could supposedly block even A-rank monster attacks, I couldn’t easily estimate what level their technology was at.

Following Benedict and the Queen inside, knights who appeared to be Hunters were lined up on both sides.

Each of the knights lined up to the end possessed power of at least B-rank, and I often felt power approaching A-rank as well.

While I was somewhat envious that they still had this much military force remaining, I couldn’t just be envious thinking that somewhere here was a Demon King.

‘Let me take a look.’

My aura spread widely and enveloped the entire castle.

It was a covert action that no one would notice, but something in the castle’s underground sparked very slightly, as if uncomfortable.

It seemed like silent respect saying it would respect me coming here, so I shouldn’t invade its territory any further either.

But that black spark wasn’t something like ordinary human mana.

It felt like something with a much higher status politely refused me.

“Hmm…”

It was quite a genteel method, but the darkness I felt in that instant had an unpleasantness like it was dragged up from an abyssal pit.

I looked at the Prime Minister and Queen just in case, but they didn’t seem related to it.

Even looking with my soul’s eye, there was no connection whatsoever.

I smiled broadly for now and sat down to the banquet the two had personally prepared.

At the banquet, the Princess and Prime Minister’s Daughter personally welcomed us.

“With such hospitality, I don’t know if I should feel comfortable staying.”

“Hahaha, you’re being too modest. Please enjoy yourselves comfortably.”

There wasn’t anything like poison in the banquet either.

Everything was exquisite cuisine prepared by first-class chefs.

Whether the rumors about British cuisine being terrible were true or not, mainly high-end French dishes were served.

“I heard the situation on the Korean Peninsula has improved considerably…”

After filling our stomachs to some degree, the Prime Minister casually brought up the topic.

“Thanks to help from various countries, the situation has improved greatly. Thanks to that, it’s normalizing quickly.”

“Oh… that’s fortunate to hear.”

The Prime Minister glanced at me as if he had something to say, then asked.

“Then how about the maritime side?”

“The maritime side?”

“Yes, I heard you recently cleared the East Sea area, but I wonder if you might need ships?”

Understanding the gist of the question, I smiled and answered.

“Ships from the British Empire would be things you couldn’t get even with money.”

In reality, British battleships were the only ones in the world that could compete with the United States.

After the Gates opened, Britain threw off all regulations and turned the entire country into a weapon while simultaneously leaving the EU.

In that process, they came to possess over seven battle cruisers, battleships, and even nuclear-powered aircraft carriers.

If it were British battleships like those, we would confidently welcome them with both hands raised.

Probably especially Hyeon-i might drool and do somersaults.

“Ahem… if you view them favorably, we’d be grateful.”

When I praised them a little, the Prime Minister smiled as if it was the answer he wanted and raised his champagne.

After lightly wetting his lips with a sip, he entered into serious conversation again.

Britain also seemed to want to establish proper friendship with the Republic of Korea through this opportunity, as quite groundbreaking conditions were exchanged.

They offered the loan of one aircraft carrier, seven battle cruisers, and three battleships.

“I didn’t expect you to do this much… I don’t know if it’s okay to accept all of this.”

“Not at all, if we hadn’t been able to avoid this crisis, something far more terrible would have happened.”

He probably wanted to avoid something as terrible as bombing his own country’s land.

Since it was something he had to prevent even at the cost of his political career, it’s natural that he feels so grateful to me.

After that, we spent about two hours exchanging typical business talk before getting up from our seats.

My companions also seemed pleased to have eaten their fill of fine food, chuckling as they went to wash up.

I also lightly washed myself before entering the guest room at the royal palace.

The British royal castle had paid special attention even to the guest rooms visible from the exterior, with a luxurious red queen-size bed laid out.

Besides that, there were simple snacks and chocolates for solo enjoyment, along with sparkling wine chilled on ice.

The excellent hospitality naturally lifted my mood, so I lightly had a glass of wine.

The sweet and refreshing green grape aroma, not harsh at all, hit my nose.

“Hmm…”

[To think you know how to enjoy alcohol, I didn’t know you had such refined tastes.]

‘Should I bring a bottle next time?’

[Good, I’ll look forward to the day we can share one together!]

Just as I was about to lie down on the bed to sleep, leaving behind my heartily laughing senior, someone knocked on the door.

Looking through the peephole, I saw a woman with blonde hair.

She appeared to be Roa Benedict, the former Benedict’s daughter, so I carefully opened the door to avoid any misunderstanding.

“I’m sorry, but it seems you’ve come to the wrong room-“

Before I could finish speaking, the Prime Minister’s daughter burst through the door and threw herself into my arms.

Since I was wearing pants and a robe, her white gown flowed down and her hands touched my bare skin.

“Right now… could you just hold me without saying anything?”

Her soft chest pressed against me as a sweet fragrance wafted to my nose.

Her silk-like soft hair and supple flesh embraced me.

It was a situation that would paralyze the reason of any ordinary man, but for me, who was already with beauties more beautiful than the Prime Minister’s daughter, it wasn’t particularly stimulating.

“Having just met today for the first time, I don’t think we have the leisure to share such intimacy.”

“But, but…!”

The beautiful woman with flushed cheeks craved affection from me.

She subtly exposed her shoulders and chest, continuously showing them off while clinging to my arm.

Since this wasn’t behavior typical of an ordinary woman, I pushed her away again and asked.

“Are you perhaps intoxicated?”

I lightly created distance and carefully stroked her head.

There was no sign of intoxication, but I could feel something was caught in her mind.

‘I thought so…’

Since it was something close to brainwashing, I lightly grasped it and released it.

The Prime Minister’s daughter lost consciousness as the brainwashing crumbled to dust and disappeared, collapsing to her knees.

Since I couldn’t leave the fallen woman like this, I carefully laid her on the bed and gathered my companions.

I made sure to dress properly, just in case.

* * *

To cut to the conclusion, I barely managed to explain myself and escape Kim Yeo-ul’s jealousy and Rey’s glares, saving my life.

I could finally understand why frost falls even in May and June when a woman holds a grudge.

“So, what exactly happened to you?”

At my question, Roa, who had belatedly awakened on the bed, choked back tears.

Since she was crying profusely, Rey and Yeo-ul, who were watching her pitifully, patted her back to comfort her.

“Father… Father is in danger, please, I beg you, please help.”

“You mean Prime Minister Benedict?”

“Yes.”

From this brief conversation, I could tell that the current situation was connected to ‘something’ in the underworld.

“Calm down and tell us slowly. We’ll help you.”

Since I had a promise with Lucio anyway, I naturally had an obligation to handle this matter.

Seeing my gaze, Roa began to speak slowly in a choked voice.

“He… no, my fiancé has gone mad…”

As soon as the word fiancé came out, sighs erupted from the female hunters’ side.

There’s a saying that marriage is the grave of life, so why engage in such a wicked act…!

Of course, that wasn’t the issue now, but if you’re the daughter of a prime minister of a country like Britain, you’re from an elite family among elites.

If someone was engaged to the daughter of such a family, it meant that darkness had already taken quite deep root.

“So then. What is this fiancé of yours doing?”

I instinctively created a barrier to prevent sound from leaking out of this space.

A black curtain appeared and the strange presence I’d been feeling disappeared.

“He’s completely insane… he’s trying to sacrifice his own people to summon some strange monster!”

Roa, who spoke as if coughing up blood, trembled with clenched fists.

As if she hated herself for once truly loving such a man, she continued her story while shedding tears.

“Using love as an excuse to target me… and then my father next, telling me to seduce and bring Cha Hyeon-su this time too…”

“Hmm? Seduce and bring him?”

Surely that bastard must have felt my power too, so does it even make sense to seduce me and expect me to follow along cheerfully?

As soon as that thought ended, she pulled out a pink ampoule she had hidden in her chest.

“He said if I made you drink this, I could naturally enchant you, but…”

She stared intently at the wine and lowered her head.

No matter how much she loved her fiancé, it seemed she couldn’t bring herself to act for a monster that sacrificed her own countrymen.

Hearing this much, I could roughly picture the entire situation.

They had deeply infiltrated the British Royal Family and the Prime Minister, planning to continue making human sacrifices to summon something.

‘I wondered if there might be other variables… but at this level, there’s no need to hold back.’

I took her hand and wiped away her tears as I spoke.

“I understand. We’ll handle the rest, so please rest easy.”

“He’s already beyond the category of human…! He’s already no different from a monster…”

“It’s alright.”

The death held at my fingertips descended to the ground and began guiding the path leading underground.

“Hunting monsters is what Hunters do.”
