The Owner of the Healing Therapy Shop is World Rank 0
Chapter 50
In front of the Alaska Gate Exit.
WHP agents in black coats blocked Jinseong’s path.
-Hunter Gangjinseong, you are under emergency arrest for international law violations and suspected hunter murder.
Jinseong stared at the warrant the agent was holding with an expressionless face.
Though the stab wound in his abdomen was deep, his mind was crystal clear. The warm floral scent he had felt when cutting down the boss inside the gate still lingered at the tip of his nose.
“A warrant.”
The moment Jinseong muttered lowly, Edward approached with the support of agents. Edward’s eyes trembled slightly as he saw the blood gushing from Jinseong’s abdomen.
‘A stab wound? When did that bastard get injured?’
Edward was bewildered.
Inside the gate, he had been so dominant that the boss monster couldn’t even step on his shadow!
His brow furrowed deeply seeing the man who hadn’t allowed even a fingertip of the boss monster to touch him now covered in blood.
Though he was clutching his shoulder as if in pain, his blue eyes looking at Jinseong were filled with terrible inferiority complex and conviction.
Edward stopped within reach of the reporters’ microphones. Then he opened his mouth with a voice mixed with metallic tones.
-Wait a moment. Please don’t push Hunter Gangjinseong too hard. He… though it’s true he gained power through abnormal methods, that must have been an unavoidable choice to prevent Earth’s disaster.
It was a cunning way of speaking. Edward pretended to defend Jinseong while establishing as fact that he had used ‘abnormal methods.’
As the reporters began to stir, Edward cast a bitter look of pity toward Jinseong.
-Hunter Gangjinseong, it is forbidden for hunters to hunt other hunters and absorb their magic power. That vast magical power that instantly annihilated the boss monster… can you truly say that’s purely your own strength?
Edward’s voice gained strength. As he converted the awe and sense of defeat he had felt into ‘Jinseong’s crime,’ confidence returned to his complexion.
-Isn’t the reason you broke through the maze so easily and left the rankers behind because you had a scene you wanted to hide? The reason you alone survived from the scene where Adam and countless colleagues disappeared… it’s time for investigative agencies to reveal this.
At Edward’s instigation, the agents pulled out magic suppressors. These were suppressors used only on S-rank hunters.
Jinseong quietly stared at Edward.
The hypocrite who was driving a hero to become a slaughterer to hide his own inferiority complex.
“At least I didn’t have such thoughts while watching your back.”
-What?
When Edward snapped back fiercely, Jinseong looked down at Edward with an utterly cold expression.
“Are you done?”
Edward hesitated at Jinseong’s brief question.
“That acting makes me sick.”
Jinseong took a step forward. The momentum he emanated alone made the surrounding air freeze sharply.
He placed his hand on the warrant the agents had presented.
Hiss-.
As soon as Jinseong’s hand touched it, the warrant made from a special item turned to black dust and scattered.
-What are you doing…!
Just as the shocked agents tried to readjust their weapons, Jinseong reached out his hand again.
Knowing what that gesture meant, the agents hesitated, and the magic suppressor in their hands also turned to powder.
“Do you want to know why Adam and the hunters died?”
Jinseong stared piercingly into Edward’s eyes and added coldly.
Edward unconsciously swallowed dry saliva.
“They died playing in a game created by bastards like you who only have their mouths alive. If you’re upset, go in and check for yourself.”
Jinseong turned his back as if there was no value in responding further, but dozens of persistent WHP agents blocked his path.
-Hunter Gangjinseong, this is the final warning. If you refuse to comply this time, we have no choice but to proceed with immediate forced execution.
The agent’s shout scattered into the void. Jinseong slowly raised his head to look at him while holding his bleeding abdomen.
One corner of his lips twisted slightly.
He didn’t utter a single word, but his gaze was chilling enough to freeze everyone at the scene.
‘If you want to try, then try.’
A mockery clearer than words swept past the agent’s spine. Just as the insulted agent hesitated but gritted his teeth and tried to step forward.
-Let’s stop there.
Then, a low and composed voice cut through the air. It was Ean.
He pulled out a tablet PC from his jacket and put on his glasses.
-According to Article 14, Section 3 of the International Hunter Management Act, hunters who are seriously injured immediately after gate conquest are excluded from immediate detention. The highest priority lies in protecting the hunter’s safety and providing emergency treatment.
Ean’s cold eyes stared directly at the agent.
-As you can see, he has suffered a fatal injury with a penetrating abdominal wound. The entire world is watching this illegal arrest attempt live. Can you handle the consequences?
The red light of cameras illuminated the agent’s face. In the end, the agent had no choice but to lower his weapon helplessly.
Edward gritted his teeth from behind, but there were too many watching eyes. Now was the time to retreat.
* * *
Ean and Jinseong safely boarded the private jet. As soon as the hatch closed, Ean let out the sigh he had been holding and held his head.
“Hey, you crazy bastard! What kind of person stabs themselves to avoid arrest!”
Whether Ean was nagging or not, Jinseong rolled up his blood-stained shirt and sank into a chair. Then he took out the regeneration ampoule that Yebichnna had prepared for him.
“This was the most reliable method.”
When Jinseong poured the ampoule over his wound, gentle particles of light rippled, and the deep wound healed smoothly without leaving even a scar.
The wound that had been deep enough to see bone just moments ago disappeared without a trace.
Ean, who had been watching from the side, muttered in a daze.
“…Wow, this really doesn’t make sense.”
Jinseong pulled down his clothes and subtly shook the bottle to show it off.
“Amazing, isn’t it, Store Owner.”
Gone was the appearance of being praised as ‘humanity’s hero’ after clearing the gate. At his boyish expression showing off a treasure, Ean let out a hollow laugh as if dumbfounded.
“…Yeah, yeah. Good work, hyung. Now drink some milk and get some rest.”
Ean shook his head as if giving up.
Jinseong patted his healed abdomen and stretched out comfortably while taking out his phone.
He was carefully typing a text message to Yebichnna character by character when it happened.
Ean came running from the front of the private jet, almost tumbling.
“Hyung! Hyung!”
Jinseong’s brow furrowed. Wondering what troublesome matter it was this time, he looked at Ean’s face, which was colored with shock.
“Hyung, the hospital called! They said Dongwook hyung’s vitals moved!”
“What?”
Jinseong shot up from his seat. His phone fell to the floor, but he didn’t care at all.
Three years.
Renowned healers had shaken their heads and given hopeless diagnoses dozens of times. The vital signs of someone who had been lying there practically like a corpse had suddenly moved.
“Give me that phone!”
Jinseong snatched Ean’s phone and put it to his ear. From the other end came Professor Seong’s excited voice and Seo Eunhae’s tearful voice.
-He seems to be regaining consciousness! I’ve checked several times, and it wasn’t a machine malfunction…!
-Dongwook, Dongwook! Please, please!
-The vital graph definitely moved, and the director confirmed finger movement too… floral scent! After placing the bouquet Yebichnna sent by the window, shortly after…
Among Professor Seong’s urgent, incoherent words and the chaotic noise, one single word stuck in Jinseong’s ears.
“The bouquet Yebichnna sent…?”
Jinseong’s eyes wavered. He met eyes with Ean, who was listening to the same conversation beside him.
What was contained in each other’s eyes was shock beyond amazement.
This was a miracle of a different dimension from simply healing wounds.
A single bouquet had made a hunter standing at death’s door move?
Jinseong picked up the phone he had dropped on the floor.
He stared for a long time at the name of the recipient he had been about to text, ‘Yebichnna.’
‘Just how far…’
