The Owner of the Healing Therapy Shop is World Rank 0
Chapter 106
Mingaram approached Jang Dohun, who was standing by the window of a hotel suite room overlooking the downtown area, drinking whiskey.
“You need to see this.”
He held out a tablet to Jang Dohun.
“The situation is… flowing completely differently from our expectations.”
Jang Dohun frowned as he took the tablet.
His face instantly contorted into a menacing expression as he scanned through the news headlines filling the screen.
“The items have been released? What does that mean? The materials from overseas should still be tied up at customs, shouldn’t they?”
“Without those special materials you said were necessary… they’ve managed to synthesize items for the Predator Gates. They’ve been delivered to Ilsan Gate, which was preparing for entry.”
Jang Dohun clenched his teeth at Mingaram’s report and immediately opened the comments section.
The news comments were truly filled with arrows of criticism aimed at Jang Dohun.
└LoveDive: Wow, Yebichnna is really amazing;;; I thought we’d all die without the materials, but she pulled it off so quickly; But why were they holding the customs items? There shouldn’t be safety issues since overseas guilds supported it;; Don’t tell me Jang Dohun again?
└LetsBeLiveGood: That bastard Jang Do-hoon was 100% deliberately blocking the materials to try and tame Ye Bitna. He did the same thing before when Kang Jin-seo’s ranking came up – trying to drag him into the association with all that power play bullshit. Old habits die hard, seriously lol
└MinseoDad: I agree. I don’t understand why we put Jang Dohun back in the association president’s seat.
└FactChecker: He said citizen safety comes first, but look at this pathetic sight of quietly releasing customs only after Bitna succeeded without materials. Shameful, Dohun.
└KBobHunter: Is Jang Dohun really a villain? Making hunters kneel seems more important than whether the world ends or not. How is this different from the Seoul terrorist?
Jang Dohun roughly threw the tablet onto the sofa. His lips trembled.
“Yebichnna… truly a woman who won’t fall into my hands.”
He thought that if he pressured her until the gates burst, that girl drunk on shallow justice would eventually come crawling to him on her own.
But once again, she created a miracle and trampled his plans as if to show him up.
“The more I see her, the more I dislike her. Even her actions are just like that bastard’s, so irritating.”
Jang Dohun clicked his tongue and coldly ordered Mingaram.
“Public opinion has already turned. From now on, at least pretend to support with full force. Put out big articles. If they need a private jet, provide it, and say we’ll support unlimited budget.”
“Yes.”
“Really, I’ve been fooled twice already. Jang Dohun’s reputation won’t stand for this.”
Jang Dohun let out a self-deprecating laugh.
Now that public opinion has completely turned toward Yebichnna, it’s time to lay low.
After Mingaram left, Jang Dohun called out one of the K-series dolls standing in the shadows of the room corner.
When Jang Dohun placed his hand on the back of the doll’s neck and injected mana, light burst from its emotionless eyes and shot a hologram image into the air.
It was a secret communication method.
Seven silhouettes sitting around a dark round table appeared on the screen.
Beings wearing robes with unidentifiable faces and body shapes were staring directly at Jang Dohun.
“I trust you’ve heard the news. Will you let Yebichnna conquer all the Predator Gates like this?”
When Jang Dohun asked respectfully, a cold voice modified by machinery returned.
[Let just a couple of Russian gates that violate federation hunter laws and walk an independent path burst. Let the rest be conquered.]
“Understood. Then… how should we handle Yebichnna?”
This time, someone else spoke.
[We’ll visit directly soon, so leave her alone.]
Jang Dohun’s eyes widened greatly.
“You’re saying you’ll come… directly?”
Instead of an answer, the video cut off abruptly.
Jang Dohun clenched his sweaty palms and looked at the doll with closed eyes.
“What are they planning to do when they come…”
* * *
The entire world was truly in a ‘Yebichnna fever.’
The Predator Gates were conquered like autumn leaves in the wind by hunters equipped with Bitna’s items.
Major overseas media outlets displayed Bitna’s face on their main screens daily, praising her as ‘the saint who saved humanity once again.’
Community reactions were no different.
A petition was posted to erect a statue at Gwanghwamun to honor Yebichnna.
In Japan, news that over 1,000 Japanese hunters had applied for transfer to Korea put the Japanese government on high alert.
In France, public opinion was seriously turning toward giving the saint title to Korea.
In the United States, things heated up with news of protests demanding Edward Hunter voluntarily give up his 1st place position.
* * *
A video call came from Ean, who had left for overseas to deliver items.
“Item delivery to all US territories completed.”
“Thank you for your hard work.”
Despite the businesslike tone, Ean on screen was wearing a flashy Hawaiian shirt and designer sunglasses, grinning constantly.
“I’m getting VIP treatment everywhere, I don’t want to return to Korea.”
Ean grinned and brought something from off-screen, saying he had something to show.
“They said it was a popular item, so I bought one too.”
“…”
What he spread out in front of the camera was none other than a t-shirt with my face printed on it.
“Where did you even get that…”
When I shook my head with a horrified expression, Ean became even more excited and chattered away.
“Foreigners ask me if I’m Korean whenever they see me. Asking if I’m Yebichnna! Haha, the impact is really tremendous.”
Seeing Ean’s thoroughly excited face, I burst into laughter.
If he looks happy, that’s good enough, I suppose.
I left a greeting telling him to return safely and hung up the phone.
It was a refreshing feeling I hadn’t experienced in a long time.
“Should I go to sleep now.”
When I lay on the bed, Mimi settled beside my face and curled up.
I stroked Mimi’s soft back and whispered quietly.
“Mimi, I think I now understand what you said at Sohee’s research lab.”
“Is that so.”
I continued chattering to Mimi, who mumbled in a drowsy voice.
“It’s not simply seeing mana, but more like… feeling the true essence? Just looking at colors, I can feel emotions, and just by looking, I can see like a blueprint where an item’s mana went wrong. It’s so fascinating.”
I observed Mimi’s body carefully.
“But strangely, you Mimi… I really can’t see anything? You just seem like an ordinary cat.”
Mimi lifted her head sharply and snorted.
“Of course. My level is much higher than yours, so there’s no way you, who just opened your eyes, could read my essence.”
“I see. But that’s fine.”
I pulled the blanket up to my chin and wiggled my feet.
“If I develop this ability a bit more, I think I’ll be able to see mana circuits too. Then I’ll be able to make a mana addiction cure like you said, right?”
Imagining a peaceful world where gates had disappeared, I fell into a pleasant sleep.
* * *
A week later, 54 out of the 55 Predator Gates that had terrorized the entire world were perfectly conquered.
^[Support the conquest of all gates before they completely collapse! (54/55)]^
Now only one remained. The last gate located in Chuncheon, Gangwon Province.
Overwhelming mana waves of a completely different dimension from other Predator Gates were bursting from the entrance.
“It’s more tremendous than I thought.”
Seondonguk placed his hand on his waist while looking at the gate entrance rippling red.
The faces of other hunters looking at that entrance were no different.
Everyone had thoroughly hardened expressions from the ominous energy felt just by looking.
I swallowed dry saliva while reading the gate information displayed on the status window.
[55. Chuncheon Uiam Lake (Rank SS)
Terrain: Active volcano covered in volcanic ash / Boss: ?? (Mana absorption rate 500%)]
It was an SS-rank gate.
This was the first gate beyond S-rank.
