Hoarding in Hell Novel

"Kara, bastard. Do I look like someone I'd like to sit on? It's you guys who crouched down, saying please come in the first place. I was just asking you guys to come to the election camp because I was talking about the Nobel Prize nominees."

[then then, now is now. You've gone too far. National security takes precedence over everything.]

Do Won-kyung took her face off her cell phone and shouted something horrifying. After nearly a minute of swear words that were difficult to move, Do Won-kyung brought his cell phone to his ear again.

"What is national security?"

[…] … If you want to swear, cover your phone. The exoskeleton you gave to Hunter Kang Hyunmoo, what do you think will happen when it is mass-produced?]

Do Won-kyung spit out swear words inwardly again. How do you know this? Was there a spy inside?

No, actually, I was already expecting something like that. Because Park Gyu already knew about his plans.

“What will happen is that the survival rate of the soldiers will increase, dungeon exploration will be easier, and the damage from monsters will be reduced.”

[Unlike you, my head is a field of flowers. If the powers of low-ranking people who are not a big threat right now rise all at once, the balance of power will collapse immediately. The government is barely controlling the powerful. However, there are already clan, rogue, and post-national figures appearing. Did you think we would tolerate it?]

"If that happens, it will also be the flow of the times, child! Do you think technology will be stopped by blocking it! In a situation where the difficulty rises, you are hostile to talented people, so what do you do by controlling them like that? Let's all die together? Country?"

[You are the heart of the majority of incompetents… … .]

"Hey, damn it! You bastard with a shit on his head!"

Do Won-kyung threw his cell phone and smashed it. The investigative team was nervous all at once.

They were worried that Do Won-kyung would tell Hyunmoo to kill them all right away.

Since the gun was dismantled, no one could control Hyunmoo right away.

However, Do Won-kyung took a deep breath before approaching Prosecutor Ryu Jin-yeol. He then took an envelope from his pocket and threw it.

He was a resignation letter.

"Hey, I didn't cut you, I quit. You understand?"

Ryu Jin-yeol looked at him as if it was ridiculous.

“Expulsion and resignation are completely different things… Besides, criminal responsibility is separate…”

"Oh, take care! I'm going to pass it on to that motherfucker!"

Do Won-kyung walked out of the lab, constantly swearing like a mad old man.

The researchers looked at each other with anxious eyes, wondering what would happen to them now. Hyunmoo was about to follow her, but for now it seemed better to leave him alone.

Just then, the cell phone rang. It was Prosecutor Ryu Jin-yeol's cell phone.

"Yes, yes. Yes? Kang Hyunmoo?"

His gaze turned to Hyunmoo. Hyunmoo beckoned him to bring his own cell phone.

Ryu Jin-yeol seemed excited, but in the end it was Hyunmoo. Hyunmoo took the phone.

[ Mr. Kang Hyunmoo. Thank you for your cooperation so that there is no conflict.]

Hyunmoo hasn't decided what to do yet. He could have called it a clash with something he had already done. Therefore, Park Gyu's words were more like a warning not to do anything.

'Is this person Park Kyu?'

Hyunmoo once tried to find out about Do Won-kyung's superiors. Officially, Do Won-kyung's superiors were Minister Lee Neung-gyeong and the President, but the real power was held by a person called the Chief of Staff.

Park Gyu.

He led the election campaign of the incumbent president, and participated in many processes before, even saying it was the power of the doorknob.

"The investigation team was tough."

[Let me pay attention. Apparently, former Director Won-kyung Do has a fiery personality, so I think a strict response is necessary. By the way, I've been wanting to meet you at least once, but I'm sorry that it has to be like this.]Hyunmoo remembered an invitation from the Blue House a long time ago.

Although she refused.

The funny thing is that when she refused the invitation, she was treated as if 'there was no such thing in the first place'.

[ I heard that Kang Hyunmoo's personality is also difficult, but thank you for showing me a strong self-control. I hope to see you again soon.]

Park Gyu hung up the phone.

Park Gyu seemed to see that Hyunmoo had already exerted sufficient self-control just by not harming the investigation team.

Hyunmoo put his cell phone back into Ryu Jin Yeol's front pocket.

The corners of Hyunmoo's mouth went up.

'I'm not thankful. I'm just thankful that you move as you think.'

The wheels were rolling according to the track that Hyunmoo had drawn. It was time to move on to the next step.

***

"Yeah? That's good."

A VIP-only jjimjilbang near the Blue House.

Park Gyu, who had been supporting his body, took the phone call from his secretary and put it down for an hour. It was the story of the president accepting the resignation letter that Do Won-kyung threw out.

He was also concerned about attacking Do Won-kyung, a member of the same government as him.

If Do Won-kyung had come out frivolously, he would have been able to bite Park Gyu.

If the situation became chaotic, the opposition parties could talk of a cabinet split or a theory of responsibility.

'Still, I'm glad Do Won-kyung is officially a private researcher.'

If it's a minister, maybe it's because the opposition party doesn't really care as much as the head of the research institute.

Since Do Won-kyung stepped down on his own with the investigation alone before making a formal accusation, Park Gyu was also planning to cover it up in an appropriate way. He got everything he needed anyway.

'The problem is a person named Kang Hyunmoo.'

Park Gyu didn't even want to pass on Kang Hyunmoo.

Of course, in his opinion, Kang Hyunmoo was just a hunter who fell for Do Won-kyung's trick.

Because Kang Hyunmoo had almost no outside activities other than being involved with the Hunters.

Park Gyu was well aware that many hunters lack social skills.

'But I never know the identity.'

It is not as simple as the Five Great Stars of the Almighty, nor is it cooperative with the regime like Taeseong Lee Ji-tae. To be honest, it felt similar to Park Do-ryeong from Compatible Mama.

Unlike in the early days of the establishment of Compatible Mama, Park Do-ryung has been completely unknown and has not seen her face in recent years.

He couldn't leave a strong man without knowing his identity.

'Will you catch a pod soon and convince me, or... … .'

It was then. Suddenly, the lights flickered and the surroundings went dark. There seemed to be a power outage.

"Hey!"

Park Gyu called his secretary to find out what was going on. But no one answered.

In an instant, an ominous feeling crossed my mind.

Outside, there were not only secretaries but also hunters dispatched from Taeseong to escort. There's no way he couldn't hear his own voice.

Then the light came on again.

As he was about to be relieved, when he saw a person standing at the entrance, Park Gyu felt his heart drop.

He was wearing a strange mask. No, he didn't even know if the mask was right.

The bizarrely distorted form of the mask made it impossible to focus, and scattered his vision.

Just looking at it made me feel sick.

The man slowly took off the mask.

"It's nice to meet you. Director Park Gyu. It's a little earlier than expected, isn't it?"

Park Gyu's eyes widened. He himself knew this voice. He was the person I was talking to just a few hours ago.

“Kang Hyunmoo…….”

Park Gyu hurriedly looked outside.

There's no way Kang Hyunmoo hasn't been stopped while he's come this far. But he couldn't see a single wound on him.

"Did you kill them all?"

“Now is probably not the time to worry about them.”

Park Gyu looked at himself. She is naked with only a towel on. He was more helpless than ever.

Park Kyu fiddled with his cell phone and prayed that he could even turn on the recording function.

However, his cell phone was also disconnected from the battery. He felt possessed by a demon.

"Are you going to kill me?"

At Park Gyu's words, Hyunmoo asked with a smiley voice.

"So what's my gain. Old meat?"

"Then what do you want? Do you have any grudges because of Do Won-kyung?"

"Park Gyu, Chief of Staff. You seem to have a big misunderstanding."

Hyunmoo slowly approached Park Gyu. Park Gyu tensed as he put his hand into his arms, but what he pulled out was his cell phone.

Hyunmoo started playing a video on his cell phone. Park Gyu, watching the video, widened his eyes.

It was a video of Almighty Hunters fighting with exoskeletons in Taean Dungeon.

A video that Park Gyu received from an informant whose name was unknown.

Hyunmoo had the very video that no one other than Park Gyu had ever seen.

Park Kyu thought that someone from the Obsidian team had betrayed Hyunmoo and stole the information.

However, the unknown informant was Hyunmoo himself.

"Did you tell me about Do Won-kyung?"

"I need to."

Park Gyu couldn't understand it at all. Do Won-kyung's morals were marred and his career ended.

She has many enemies to her, and her academia is teeming with people ready to bite her.

Of course, her skills won't go anywhere, but since she's at the peak, it's bound to take a long time to recover.

"Weren't you on the same side?"

"It was just a business relationship. If you have a better partner, you switch."

Hyunmoo answered briefly and put his cell phone back in. Park Gyu noted that Hyunmoo uttered 'partner'.

I still don't know what's going on, but it's clear that he's got something to suggest.

“Think of Do Won-kyung as a gift from me to the chief of staff.”"I never asked for a free lunch. What did you ask for?"

Hyunmoo let out a low laugh.

"I am planning to make the Almighty League a national institution. I would like the Chief of Staff to cooperate here."

omnipotence? Why is the Almighty Ryeon here again?

For Park Kyu, the Almighty Ryeon was nothing more than a minimum fence that prevented the capable people from wandering around like an unbridled foal.

Rather than watching the low-ranking people become powerful in the pasture and become unemployed and fussing, I thought I would rather lock them up in a fence called Almighty Ryeon and throw in some pennies.

Already, most of the Almighty's executives were those who were living on such government subsidies.

"What do you mean? Recruit all Almighty Ryeon... as civil servants?"

"What kind of joke. How should such a waste of tax be done?"

Hyunmoo crossed his arms and continued his speech.

"The Almighty Alliance will undergo a major reorganization soon. At that time, participate in the reorganization process of the Almighty Alliance and declare it as a state-owned clan using internal improvement as an excuse. However, I will decide the reform plan. It’s about investing resources and growing.”

In a nutshell, this was Hyunmoo's power to take control of the Almighty and pour the money.

Park Gyu was at a loss for words at the absurd idea.

State-owned clan, having a different armed force than the military and police?

"Do you think that's going to work? It's not just a matter of amending one or two constitutions! It will take several years just to convince the National Assembly..."

“If I had been thinking of telling them to follow the law, I wouldn’t have come to the manager.”

At Hyunmoo's words, Park Gyu bit his mouth.

Hyunmoo's words were not taken lightly. Park Gyu admitted that he had misunderstood Hyunmoo.

this guy is crazy

But he is a madman with strength and precise goal orientation.

"Hasn't Manager Park Kyu already planned a state-run clan? Because of Tae-seong and compatible mama, he eventually quit. But the state-run clan is already being developed in the United States and other countries. It's too late for Korea."

Park Gyu's head started spinning in a complicated way. One of the reasons for giving up the state-run clan was that Tae-seong was faithful to the government's taste.

But in the end, Taeseong is an organization that is absolutely loyal to Lee Ji-tae. You never know what will happen the moment Lee Ji-tae turns around or changes into someone else.

'But the Almighty is too weak.'

Park Gyu's evaluation of Almighty Ryeon was negative. The leadership is corrupt and the members are helpless. It is natural that all talented people with ambition and ability went to Taeseong or compatible mama.

'still… … It might be different if a madman like Kang Hyunmoo led it.'

Already, Park Gyu saw the power of the exoskeleton used by the Hunter team led by Kang Hyunmoo.

The situation is reversed if the overall capability can be raised and an organization loyal to the state is created.

If that happens, the number itself will be a big help, and the check on Taeseong can be passed on to Kang Hyunmoo.

It was an attractive rice cake for Park Gyu, who pursues constant checks on talented people.

"Then what do you get? Eating the Almighty Lily, is that all?"

But whether he could trust Hyunmoo was another matter. He had to know his motives.

"The capable soldiers currently included in the military. Please allow them to join the Almighty Training."

After the Almighty, which group has the most talented people? It's definitely the military.

Thousands of talented people have been conscripted through compulsory service for a year and a half, excluding long-term service soldiers who actively serve by making full use of their combat-specialized abilities.

Park's eyes narrowed.

'This child is drawing an absurdly big picture.'
