The Owner of the Healing Therapy Shop is World Rank 0

Chapter 84

On a stormy night in Seoul, Alice sat precariously on the railing of a building rooftop.

Raindrops flowed down her blackened cheeks, but she paid no mind and dangled her legs while looking down at the carnage unfolding below.

“Ha, thinking of challenging Seondonguk with that level of skill. Act your age.”

Alice spat out in an irritated tone.

Below her feet, she could see the fierce battle between Jang Dohun and Seondonguk at a glance.

Trying to catch South Korea’s greatest shield with just a few K3-grade mercenaries – from Alice’s perspective, it was laughable.

She clicked her tongue, thinking he had chosen the wrong ally, when it happened.

A shield fired from Donguk’s hand traced an arc through the air, aimed at Dohun’s back.

“…I can’t just let him die.”

Alice, who had been watching the scene with disinterest, flicked her slender finger.

Ping—.

The trajectory of the shield touched by an invisible mana thread twisted ever so slightly.

The shield that should have completely cut Dohun in half only sliced through half the skin and muscle of his waist thanks to Alice’s intervention.

“Tsk, what is he thinking? If he’s going to do it like this, he should just quit.”

The moment Alice spat harsh words into the air, shadows rippled behind her.

“I wanted to avoid becoming a has-been, but it seems that time is near. Hehe!”

Jang Dohun appeared with a phlegmy laugh.

In contrast to his earlier appearance with his waist half-split, he approached under an umbrella looking perfectly fine without a single wound.

Alice asked coldly without turning around.

“So, what do you plan to do now? How are you going to extract Yebichnna by swinging such weak attacks?”

Dohun shrugged and stood beside her.

He tilted his large umbrella toward Alice and said.

“It wouldn’t be fun if it were that easy. The Saint doesn’t know my specialty. The taste of causing internal division, making them slowly self-destruct, then waiting for them to crawl out of their hole on their own is quite something.”

“Sowing discord… that does suit you.”

“Prey belongs to those who know how to wait. Just wash your feet and watch from your hotel room. I’ve set up an interesting game.”

Alice snorted.

“Still not acting your age.”

She stared intently at Dohun’s excited profile before asking a question.

“I’m doing this because I want Gangjinseong, but what’s your purpose? Why did you come all the way to Korea to pull this stunt?”

“Don’t you know? I was quite angry about being kicked out of the Korean Hunter Association president position. There’s no grand purpose. As I’ve gotten older, there’s nothing interesting left in the world!”

Dohun’s shameless laughter mixed with the sound of rain, echoing eerily.

Alice frowned and stood up.

As she brushed off her rain-soaked dress, light flashed behind her.

“Whatever happens, I just need to get to Seoul, so figure it out yourself.”

After finishing her words, Alice vanished like smoke.

Meanwhile, when Donguk was being attacked by Dohun.

In the Hunter Association Headquarters Conference Room, where lights had been on for days, a meeting of Asian regional association staff was in full swing.

In the center of the meeting room, Director Seo Eunhae was reviewing documents with sharp eyes, and surprisingly, Jang Dohun was calmly maintaining his seat beside her.

On the screen in front of them, association staff from various countries were connected via video conference.

Arguments flew back and forth regarding information sharing and countermeasures for the recent surge in gate anomaly incidents, and whether to proceed with next month’s scheduled ‘Asian Hunter Forum.’

-Holding the forum in the current situation is unreasonable. We lack defensive personnel.

-On the contrary, times like these require us to strengthen our cooperation!

Jang Dohun occasionally added remarks that disrupted the flow of the meeting, inducing confusion.

Director Seo Eunhae finally couldn’t stand it and lashed out at him as soon as the meeting ended.

“Mr. Jang Dohun, exactly when do you plan to leave the country?”

“Don’t be so harsh. I came to my hometown after a long time, so I should enjoy it a bit. American food is too greasy.”

“Ha.”

“I like the hotel and all, so I think it would be good to stay until the forum.”

Just as Dohun was trying to brush it off casually.

Rumble—!

The entire association building shook violently as if hit by an earthquake. Soon after, an emergency evacuation broadcast blared through the speakers.

[The 40th basement floor, Hunter Shinnara’s exclusive workshop has been attacked! Agents must arm themselves immediately and move to the 40th basement floor.]

Seo Eunhae’s gaze shot toward Jang Dohun like an arrow.

But Dohun shrugged as if he knew nothing.

However, this was only the beginning of hell.

The mobile phones of guild leaders discussing in the basement meeting room began vibrating simultaneously.

[Magic Tower Guild data center bombing damage occurred]

[Merchant Guild distribution warehouse fire]

[Shilla Guild new product research lab explosion]

Bad news erupted one after another.

Major guilds had been simultaneously terrorized.

In the midst of that chaos, Jeong Sihwa, the only guild leader of Double Room Guild without bombing damage, slowly parted her red lips.

“Oh my… this is exactly the kind of situation where I’d be misunderstood, isn’t it?”

* * *

At the same time, Jinseong’s group emerged through the red vortex of Songpa Gate.

Their faces were filled with the elation of victors, intoxicated by the power of Bitna’s item that had instantly melted the boss monster.

“I’m going to brag to Bitna noona first!”

Hyeongtaek smiled brightly while shaking his wet hair, but Jinseong’s eyes instantly turned cold upon seeing the scene outside the gate.

“What the hell…”

Agents who had been controlling the gate perimeter were running around in all directions, and in the distance, black smoke was rising through the rain from various parts of Seoul’s downtown.

Hyeongtaek, who had been jumping around excitedly, spoke with a suddenly grief-stricken face.

“…What now? Did another gate break?”

Just as Jinseong was urgently trying to check his phone, Nara’s phone began ringing frantically.

Nara’s face turned pale instantly after taking the call.

“What? The Merchant Guild logistics warehouse was bombed? What? Our guild too? I’ll go right now!”

Nara shoved her phone into her pocket as if throwing it and turned to Jinseong.

Her eyes were filled with a mixture of anger and bewilderment.

“I have to go right away. Our guild’s distribution network and laboratory were hit. The Hunter Association, Magic Tower, and Merchant Guild too? Please take care of Bitna!”

Without waiting for an answer, Nara immediately deployed her mana and flew toward downtown.

The remaining Jinseong, Hyeongtaek, and Sohee looked at each other in frozen silence.

Then Sohee’s terminal also received an emergency assembly order from the association.

“My, my workshop was also attacked! They said the association building shook! Ugh, what if my items! No, wait. What about my master? What about master’s shop?”

At Sohee’s scream-mixed outcry, Jinseong’s heart sank.

If major guilds and the association were simultaneously attacked, there was no way Bitna’s shop, at the center of all these anomalies, would be safe.

“Hyeongtaek, take Sohee to the association. Go assess the situation and request support!”

“What about you, hyung?”

“To Bitna.”

This time, even Hyeongtaek followed Jinseong’s words without complaint.

Jinseong began sprinting at full speed toward the direction of Bitna’s shop without looking back.

As he ran through the raindrops, only one thought filled his mind.

‘Is Bitna okay?’

The chilling killing intent emanating from Jinseong’s entire body burned hot enough to evaporate the rain.

Hyeongtaek also ran in the opposite direction with a serious expression, carrying Sohee tucked under his arm.

In the downtown area shrouded in darkness, with explosion sounds intermittently echoing, Jinseong frantically moved his feet.

As soon as they conquered the first Predator Gate, all of South Korea’s S-ranks ended up scattered in different directions.

The sky was still pouring down heavy torrential rain.
