Hoarding in Hell Novel

Chapter 180 War ahead (1)

Kaesong Camp HQ.

A commotion was taking place here, which is also the headquarters for the South Korean military's northern expedition.

“What do you mean, there was no punishment for Park Do-ryung?”

bang.

Lee Ji-tae rushed into the conference room.

As if Lee Ji-tae had just run out of a dungeon, his body was filled with the remains of monsters.

The military police grabbed his limbs and stretched to dry him, but to no avail.

In the conference room, the high-ranking generals who commanded the Northern Expedition were all gathered in one place. Because an important operation was right in front of you.

"What rudeness is this, Lee Ji-tae-kun?"

Among them, an elderly woman sitting at the top of the conference room table asked.

Lee Ji-tae tried to get angry again, but before that, he first paid tribute to the living legend.

"Commander Min So-ha."

Lee Ji-tae nodded and bowed in greeting.

Instead, he didn't even care about the other generals.

Commander Min So-ha was an officer who was on the front line to protect civilians from the time when the concept of a dungeon was still not well established as a monster.

She was also a two-star talent, and she did not hesitate to play in the field even now. This time she was also the top military commander of the Northern Expedition.

She said, "I heard that Chief of Staff Park Kyu is coming. He has a question for him."

"What are you doing, ordinary people came in as they wanted, but they didn't bring them out!"

The generals could not stand it and shouted at the still hunters. In the conference room, there were hunters waiting for security.

However, the Hunters did not move and just stared at the general's face.

Most of the hunters in charge of the government's security are hunters dispatched from Taeseong.

Even if it wasn't from Taeseong, there was no way that anyone who could pull Lee Ji-tae out in the first place was standing there.

It was clear which one they would choose in a clash of command.

The shouting general's face went red. Then Min So-ha sighed and said.

"Get out."

But he was speaking to the generals, not to Lee Ji-tae.

The generals cast their displeased glances at Lee Ji-tae and went out of the meeting room.

It was said that it was impossible that the operation meeting was canceled because of one hunter, but Lee Ji-tae did not care.

"Sit down, Lee Ji-tae-kun. Chief of Staff Park Gyu went back by helicopter 20 minutes ago."

"Then I don't think there's any reason for me to be here."

"I told you to sit down."

Lee Ji-tae glared at Min So-ha, then pulled up a chair at the end of the conference table and sat down. Minsoha immediately took out the dragon.

"I have stopped the investigation and disciplinary procedures for Park Do-ryung's attempted murder."

Lee Ji-tae's face contorted in anger.

"Park Do-ryung tried to kill his fellow hunter in a dungeon. It wouldn't be like that."

"Listen closely. It's not that we won't investigate, it's 'stop'. First of all, we can't prove whether or not Park Do-ryung actually attempted to kill, and there's no clear evidence. Let's put aside the fact that the credibility of the testimony is also low in that he is your subordinate.""I was attacked with the clone skill in a dungeon where there were only four people, but would you secondly note that Park Do-ryung is the only hunter in Korea with clone skills?"

“Even if you take that into account.”

Lee Ji-tae also knew that it would be difficult to prove Park Do-ryung's guilt in reality.

Because of this, Lee Ji-tae even had the idea of ​​mobilizing his power and strength to create a woven truth. That was the future and justice that Lee Ji-tae pursued.

However, there were areas where even his power was impossible.

He put a map of Korea on the white screen behind Min So-ha. The map showed the current advance of the army, its deployment, and the organized areas.

"A month and a half from the start of the Northern Expedition. At this rate, we will arrive in Pyongyang within a week. Everything is proceeding faster and smoothly than expected. Why do you think?"

There were many reasons. But he could sum it up into one thing.

"...isn't it thanks to the active participation of the Almighty Ryeon and the Compatible Mama?"

"You know how to be humble. At the beginning, the plan was made with only Tae-seong's participation in the war in mind. However, the Almighty Ryeon and the Compatible Mama showed unexpected results. In particular, the Almighty Ryeon's level has been greatly improved, and the Compatible Mama is fighting against the Undead. They are well prepared for it."

"Is that so? Because you don't want to buy a backlash from compatible mama?"

Lee Ji-tae shot with a look of dissatisfaction. No matter how high the ball is, if a person commits a crime, it is natural to pay the penalty.

Then Min So-ha's expression turned cold.

"Don't talk like you never did. You'd think that if you're clean, you're all there. But where do you think you'll be clean after eating Taeseong's cauldron? It wouldn't be the same!"

“……”

"As I said, it's more profitable to be able to use this calmly as an excuse than to make unnecessary sacrifices by making Park Do-ryung right away. Think about the situation where a vacancy is created right now because the compatible mama is missing. do you think?"

It's not wrong.

After Lee Ji-tae captured Do-ryeong Park and handed him over, the compatible mothers were actively cooperating so that it felt like a lie that they were labeled as an anti-government organization.

It may be because he knew that Lee Ji-tae's gaze was still on Park Do-ryung, but thanks to that, the speed of the advance was very effective.

"Now, it has a much better use than arresting or killing Park Do-ryeong. And there is one more reason why we were able to advance so quickly. This cause may be bigger than the Almighty Ryeon and the Compatible Mama."

Minsoha pulled up the map.

A red army was rushing south from the Yalu River.

Lee Ji-tae was at a loss for words at that number. Compared to the number of Korean soldiers shown below, the red color was almost eight times.

"...are you Chinese?"

"The speed of the advance is amazing. The preparation period was short, but I don't know how it was so fast. I heard that there was a company that supplies magic bullets in large quantities from the Chinese side as well, but I don't know how they made copies so quickly. I wouldn't worry too much about it."

The supply price of Martan that Korea was receiving was on the cheap side.

Of course, considering the taxes and other incidental benefits Hyunmoo receives, it was by no means cheap.

Even so, it was worrisome that China was making mass-produced magic bullets.

"Anyway, if we go like this, the Chinese army could arrive in Pyongyang sooner than we do. You know, the whole Northern Expedition is nothing more than a warm-up. Actually, it's from Pyongyang. So I've been waiting for you to attack the 5-star dungeon. Chrome too. I thought so."

Minsoha muttered in an annoyed voice.

“I told Chrome that we could restore Pyongyang with our own force alone, but Chrome said that he would carry out the operation with the Chinese army on his own. I'm not going."

"That's why you're trying to hold Doryung Park. In order to get to Pyongyang quickly somehow."

“If we can’t take the lead, shouldn’t we take a stand together?”

Lee Ji-tae snorted and looked at Min So-ha.

"You said what happened to the lives of the soldiers, and it was all a lie. Isn't that your intention to win the ball?"

"The ball is important. Lee Ji-tae-kun. People only see achievements. No matter how much blood and sweat we lost, if Pyongyang was taken away, people would rage like that and laugh at the fact that the kernels were lost. And my ball is definitely good. The important thing is It's your ball."

"Is it my ball?"

“People think of Taeseong as leading the Northern Expedition, and Almighty Ryeon and Yangyang Mama as supporting them. The military also plays a role of assisting in preventing the occupied land from being destroyed. But think about what would happen if Pyongyang was taken over by China. Look, what a disgrace you will be."

"I don't mind being disgraced!"

"You may be, but there are people who shouldn't."

For a moment, Lee Ji-tae felt as if he had been hit in the back of the head.

"...who are you?"

Minsoha didn't answer. He talked for a long time, but in the end there was external pressure.

Lee Ji-tae's older sister, Lee Seo-yeon, the de facto ruler of the Taeseong Group, pressured Park Do-ryung to stop the investigation.

So that Pyongyang is not taken over by China and that Lee Ji-tae is not dishonored.

Because Lee Ji-tae's face is also Tae-sung's face.

The gain and loss of the government and Tae-seong coincided with each other, and Park Do-ryung was stolen.

Lee Ji-tae was speechless.

He believed that if he mobilized his power, he would have a way to judge him, even within the system.

It was like hearing the laughter of Kang Hyunmoo and Park Doryung laughing at him in the dungeon.

***

"Sales on the Chinese side are going well."

"Inquiries came from the Philippines and Yugoslavia as well. Apparently, the more powerful the outflow of talented people abroad, the more popular Matan is."

"I'm seeing the advertising effect of the book bee well."

Almighty Northern Bee Camp.

Yu-min was busy analyzing and organizing the equipment and items of the hunters who participated in the Northern Expedition, while calculating the profit of the Almighty-Ryeon Industrial Complex.

Fortunately, in the management department, Seo Ji-hoo was in charge of a large part of the rapidly increasing work, but it was inevitable that he would be burdened.

Yu-min looked at the documents with a dark expression.

There was one problem.

"Too much money is coming in."

This problem was naturally connected to another problem.

"I don't have the time or resources to wash all of this!"

Hyunmoo didn't just sell magic bullets to the Korean military. From the beginning, the magic bullet was a product aimed at the world.

It is cheaper than the existing magic bullets, and the power is much stronger.

It's not a mediocre 1- or 2-star monster, but a 3-star or 4-star monster if you use a lot of ammunition.

It was still a lot of money for hunters to spend, but it was not a big deal in the defense budget.

And China is a huge market.

“I think Shiba Amini-san did a good job promoting…”

When UN Special Inspector Siva A-Mini stayed at her mansion, Yu-Min pretended to be her nothing to her, promoting her omnipotent weaponry and magic bullets.

Although she is still incompetent, Amini, who has a great interest in hunting monsters, showed great interest. And she just told it to China.

The Almighty Rally is supported by the state, and the export of magic bullets was not easy because it was classified as a kind of defense industry.

A government that knew that China was showing its ambitions in the Northern Expedition could not allow it.

Instead of going through a difficult process, Hyunmoo just opted for smuggling.

It was not difficult because he had connections with Hwi-so Park, who runs the black market.After setting up a paper company in China, they sold magic bullets while pretending to be self-developed in China. Since the Chinese side needed a huge amount, the source was not thoroughly investigated.

North Korea was now a testing ground and publicity center for new items and magic bullets developed by the Almighty.

And about two months after the beginning of the Northern Expedition.

Enthusiastic sales and publicity returned to unacceptable production shortages and cash.

“How much money do you have now?”

"Four hundred billion."

"400 billion? Then I don't think it's as much as I thought..."

At 400 billion won, it is a level that barely moves in and out of the top 100 companies in Korea. Yu-min looked at Seo Ji-hoo as if it was ridiculous.

"Cash only. Cash only! There is no way to deal with it, so I am buying local real estate, art works, companies, stocks, government bonds, precious metals, jewelry, virtual currency, whatever I want. It's been a while since I left it alone. In terms of assets, it's already over 3 trillion."

"That."

3 Joe.

Seo Ji-hoo's expression was unsettling.

It had only been two months since the sale of magic bullets.

Before that, Hyunmoo's fortune, excluding Almighty's assets, was a little over 50 billion won.

But now it's group 3?

"How much did you sell? Is it enough for us to keep up with that production?"

“Most of them were promised and received in advance. Because there are not enough, we can’t sell them. So, we are expanding our factories tenfold.”

“If we expand at such a random rate…”

Seo Ji-hoo, who was about to point out that the quality is not inferior, shut her mouth.

Even the finished magic bullets are not of good quality. But if all the ingredients are good, that's fine.

The top quality crystal moss brought by Kang Hyunmoo was of good quality enough to cover it even if the quality was poor.

"It's enough that there is no misfire. Even if that's not the case, the amount D&W pays for the use of crystal moss is huge."

The money earned leads to research and reinvestment again, which in turn makes a huge amount of money, and Almighty Ryeon is rapidly inflated.

He was omnipotent, and in fact, it was now Hyunmoo's exclusive private enterprise.

“If Team Leader Oh Dae-seong sees Almighty Ryeon now, he might cry.”

"Why? Because you're happy?"

“…Isn’t that right? Hunters who belong now are enjoying more welfare than ever before.”

It would be nice if only good seeds could be picked, raised, and treated, but Hyunmoo didn't intend to pick them all out like that.

The only ones Hyunmoo actively picked out were the upper-heads. There are certainly pay thieves among the Almighty Hunters, but we just have to let them stay below forever.

Hyunmoo also thought that not everyone had to work hard.

You only need to treat those who have risen to the top by working hard.

Like Song Yeo-Woon's team or Seo Ji-Hoo's team.

"Oh, come to think of it, I heard that Park Do-ryung received no disciplinary action."

Seo Ji-hoo did not know the details of what happened between Park Do-ryung and Hyunmoo, but he was guessing.

It was ironic that the leaders of the three major clans in Korea were not on good terms.

"Since the country says it's passive, shouldn't we do something within our line? Even if it's not a punishment itself, it seems like a warning message should be issued."

At Seo Ji-hoo's words, Yu-min shrugged.

"My brother is doing it on his own. It's been a month already. I didn't expect the system to solve it at all."
