Hoarding in Hell Novel

"What the hell is that? Was that just Park Do-ryung?"

Song Yeo-Woon approached with a disgusted expression.

Park Do-ryeong is the person who used to be the representative of the compatible mama. As she is Song Yeo-woon, who even tortured the remnants of her compatible mama, she could not help but be surprised by Park Do-ryung's appearance.

“Didn’t you say that Park Do-ryung is dead?”

"You shouldn't be so surprised that the person you thought was dead came back."

"No, I'm usually surprised."

“There will be many surprises in the future.”

Seo Ji-hoo and Park Hwi-so are also members of the family, and I wondered how they would react if they found out that they had already died and came back to life.

Even Hwiso Park died twice at the hands of Hyunmoo.

'Come to think of it, I think it would be fine if Song Yeo-woon was brought into the family.'

Song Yeo-Woon is unofficial, but she's a four-star hunter, and she's been leveling up rapidly as she has gained momentum in her growth since breaking her limits.

It wasn't strange for her to say that if she brought her into the family, she would learn her ultimate within half a year.

"Song Yeo-Woon."

"Yes?"

"……It is nothing."

Hyunmoo bit his mouth while trying to propose a family member.

It's not that she lacks qualifications. Her ability and loyalty are trustworthy.

It was Ha-hyun who kept Hyunmoo's mouth shut. Ha-hyun was already serving as a family member to Hyunmoo.

I know that the two are completely separate people and have led completely different lives, but somehow I felt reluctant to bring them both into the family.

'It's not urgent.'

You will have a better chance to make an offer.

Hyunmoo put his thoughts aside and focused on the work in front of him.

Allies with the Starving Stars. It was clear that these two were in conflict.

Other stars may be involved, but the starving star's exposure of the apostle made it clear that everyone was tacitly predicting what was to come.

'Then I can't help but ride on this trend.'

Hyunmoo sang Yeo-Woon Song again.

"Call Seo Ji-hoo. She said she had previously been ordered to subdue a flood in Gangwon-do, but she refused?"

"Yes."

The refusal of orders by Seo Ji-hoo caused civilian casualties, and the government placed the charge on the Almighty Leader.

casualties due to negligence.

It was an event that triggered the suppression of the Almighty.

"Let's take a look at that. And why did you reject it?"

The alliance will eventually come to him, and he leaves the starving star to Lee Seo-yeon.

Hyunmoo turned his gaze and muttered as he looked at the sky where the plane had flew away.

"You owe me twice your life. Lee Seo-yeon, you'll have to pay for two of them."

***

A luxury hotel in Hong Kong.

Seo-yeon Lee carefully stepped into the luxurious hotel suite.

The interior of the suite was full of decadent and luxurious atmosphere.

Men and women with drowsy expressions were lying relaxed, sharing drugs and cigarettes.

Seo-yeon Lee walked away, covering her mouth and nose with her handkerchief, being careful not to smell her smoke.

Her smirk intertwined in her gaze as she looked at her.

Her face was filled with tension.

It was her second visit here.

In the first, she became a member of the Starving Star, awakened to her powers, and was given her mission. But her mission ended with only half success.

She drew many talented people and assets, but in the end failed to undermine South Korea's protective capabilities.

She wasn't the only one walking nervously. There were many people from all over the world who returned after completing their mission or failed.

In front of Seo-yeon Lee, a Japanese woman with long hair was walking with a frozen expression.'Tsuruya Miharu.'

She was the youngest daughter of the Japanese Tsuruya group.

She has been far removed from the line of succession, but that doesn't mean she isn't too ambitious enough to give up.

But the look on her complexion made it seem that she had failed her mission.

'Japan… … Difficult. Probably.'

It has a strong foundation.

Inside, there were rumors that another star was already behind the prime minister's cabinet.

On the other hand, Korea had a lot of gaps to get through thanks to Kang Hyunmoo's push once.

Half of Lee Seo-yeon's success was also thanks to Hyunmoo.

As Tsuruya Miharu was walking in her lobby, suddenly someone pushed her leg out in front of her.

A chair with the impression of a clown whose gender was difficult to determine was smiling and holding out her legs.

She was outstretched too openly to be a leg that had been set out to stumble.

However, the intention of the bridge blocking the front of the road was clear.

Tsuruya hesitated, then closed her eyes tightly, pretending not to know, and tripped over her leg.

The sound of her laughter filled her room as she fell with a loud bang.

Tsuruya crawled with her humiliated face and walked towards her.

Next, Seo-yeon Lee took a step closer. But her legs in front of her were still not lifted.

Her family looked at her with her anticipatory expression on her face.

This is a kind of confirmation.

The process of checking whether she is confident in the outcome of this mission by herself.

Without hesitation, Lee Seo-yeon trampled the clown's leg.

With a quack scream, the clown struggled and ran away.

Bigger laughter and curious gazes fell on Lee Seo-yeon than before.

Tsuruya, crawling ahead of her, looked at her with her gloomy eyes.

"stop."

The moment a voice came from the office inside the suite, the laughter stopped. In the quiet silence, Seoyeon Lee and Tsuruya waited for their call.

"Lee Seo-yeon, come in."

Tsuruya came first, but Seoyeon Lee was called in.

Tsuruya had no choice but to keep lying down until Lee Seo-yeon appeared.

As Seoyeon Lee entered her office, she glanced at Tsuruya. Thirst and longing blazed in her eyes.

The inside of the office had a completely different atmosphere from the suite.

The neatly arranged office tools and documents were completely different from the decadent atmosphere outside.

And sitting at the end of the room, with her back to the window, was a black African-American woman in a suit.

"It's been a while. Lee Seo-yeon."

"Yes, Helen. It's been three months."

Without her surname, simply called Helen, she was the senior apostle leading the clan of the Starving Stars.

The Starving Star has not yet appointed her agent, but many believed that she would become her agent, who in effect gripped and reigned over her apostles.

Helen poured her coffee and handed Seo-yeon Lee as she sat down across from her desk.

"Is your father healthy?"

“…Thank you.”

She seemed to ask her well in a normal way, but in fact, it was Helen who helped poison her father.

In addition, she received numerous help.

To some extent she thought she had intentions, but by the time she realized the truth, she was already irretrievably entangled in her.

It was only her occasion that her Kylo came to visit her three months before her.

"Then I'll skip her small greetings. Hearing the fuss just before, you seem pretty confident."

"Yes."

Seo-yeon Lee bowed her head lightly.

She didn't have to report every single one. Because she's already gone up with her report on what she's done.

Helen smiled lightly.

"They stole assets worth 20.8 trillion won, blueprints of a magic bullet production plant, 16,000 bullets, a trading network, information on the equipment possessed by hunters belonging to the Almighty Alliance, 782 mid-level hunters, and about 8,000 state secrets. Is this all an achievement in three months?"

"Yes."

"But didn't you miss one of the most important missions? About Kang Hyunmoo."

Kang Hyunmoo.

Helen was very interested in him.

Until now, Kang Hyunmoo was only known in the world as an unusual hunter from a remote country.

He was sometimes confused with Lee Ji-tae.

Helen was no different. But it was Lee Ji-tae that got her interested in Kang Hyunmoo.

Lee Ji-tae was included in the subject of her attention.

So, she embraced Lee Ji-tae through Lee Seo-yeon, and at least tried not to become hostile.

However, Lee Ji-tae suddenly died, and a man named Kang Hyunmoo came back alive.

From then on, Helen took an interest in Kang Hyunmoo and began to recognize him.

The result was a series of surprises.

From his first appearance, he showed unbalanced overpower, an unreasonable growth rate, powerful legendary equipment from unknown sources, and even a bizarre moral idea that doesn't fit the rules.

The world's evaluation was only known as a geeky hunter, but the shadowy figure hidden behind him was phenomenal.

Seo-yeon Lee began to report carefully.

She said, "It was impossible to find out about Kang Hyunmoo. He disappeared without mentioning where he was going or the date of his return, and the people around him seemed to be accustomed to his disappearance. But…."

"but?"

"I've heard that the metaphor of hell is often used."

"Hell? That's a very common metaphor. Any more useful information?"

“There were no more clues about Kang Hyunmoo. But….”

"Lee Seo-yeon, Lee Seo-yeon, Lee Seo-yeon..."

Helen interrupted her and gave her a look of blatant disappointment.

She said as she tapped her desk with her long fingernails.

"Kylo and Richard died when they went to pick you up. But there were reports that Kang Hyunmoo had just arrived at the airport. We couldn't even find where the body had gone."

Seo-yeon Lee tried to calm herself.

She has now imagined this situation dozens of times. From the moment you board the plane to the moment you arrive.

"By the way, what does it mean to come back alive here alone?"

"I am……."

At that moment, Helen grabbed Lee Seo-yeon's hand.

As soon as Lee Seo-yeon flinched, Helen pulled her to Seo-yeon and made her lie down on her desk.

Seo-yeon Lee struggled, but Helen pulled Lee Seo-yeon's neck part sharply.

There was a series of inscriptions engraved with shards of stars.

"Besides, you have fragments. Are these from Kylo? They are the same size, so I think it is."

"Can I sit down and answer you?"

Seo-yeon Lee said to Helen without showing any dismay.

Helen raised the corners of her lips and released her.

Seo-yeon Lee adjusted her posture and spoke her words.

"Kylo and Richard were rightly killed by Kang Hyunmoo. I tried to move in a hurry at the airport, but they both tried to catch Kang Hyunmoo. But at their level, it was too much to deal with Kang Hyunmoo."

"Is Kang Hyunmoo that strong?"

"Yeah. It was overwhelming enough to be unmatched."

"Interesting."

Helen murmured, twinkling her eyes.

Her eyes were filled with a longing for possessiveness rather than fear or horror.

Where there is power, there is power.

Where there is power, wealth follows; where there is wealth, there is power.

Anyone who understands this loop sees even risk only as an investment.

"But how did you come back alive alone?"

"I made a deal with Kang Hyunmoo.""deal?"

The corners of her lips went up.

"Tell me more."

“… Kang Hyunmoo told me to climb to the highest point under the starving star. And then, he said he would eat me.”

"haha."

Helen let out a pleasant laugh.

"A deal with the guy who killed his colleague and his success? I don't know what Kang Hyunmoo looked at and invested in..."

Helen narrowed her eyes and stared at Lee Seo-yeon.

Lee Seo-yeon choked her breath for a moment at her piercing gaze, but she forcibly pressed her chest down and looked at Helen.

Moments later, Helen's eyes widened.

"… Kang Hyunmoo's eyes are a little bit promising. Above all, I like your greediness. Big deals are born with great risks."

Seo-yeon Lee was relieved.

Her strategy worked. If Kang Hyunmoo wants to use himself, he has to use Kang Hyunmoo himself.

If Kang Hyunmoo lets her know that she has something to look forward to, she can't help but think that Helen is of course worth that much to her.

And under the starlight of a starving star, greed is a virtue.

Helen clasped her hands and said.

"But that information isn't enough to condone your success? Is there anything else yet?"

Isn't she flaunting until she stepped on a clown's leg in the lobby earlier? it meant

Seo-yeon Lee thought that now was the time for her to take out her conversion card.

This information could be more important than Kang Hyunmoo or Kang Hyunmoo.

"Helen, do you know about the existence of the 'teacher' of the alliance?"

***

Seo-yeon Lee closed the door and came out.

I could see her Tsuruya looking up at her with her tired expression on her face.

The interview between Seo-yeon Lee and her Helen was quite lengthy. It meant that she was judged that the value of the information she provided was important.

After Tsuruya was called into her room, Seo-yeon Lee thought about her reward she had received.

She said that the power that Seo-yeon Lee received as her reward was immense. She stretched out her hand and confirmed her power to run through her hand.

Her powerful power was oscillating within her to the extent that she couldn't remember her days as an ordinary person.

Even Lee Seo-yeon was promised a 'trial'.

Sooner or later, big changes are coming to the whole world.

At that time, it was a promise that if she passed the ordeal and succeeded, she would give her the seat of an apostle.

She said, 'If I, who is still a member of the family, has this kind of power, then the apostle.'

It felt like she had opened her eyes to a new world.

She thought that Hunters who were concerned with leveling up or equipment were funny and childish.

But as she strengthened herself, it awakened her new senses in her and gave her confidence.

And she at the same time fueled her thirst and hunger for her new things.

Castles are not filled with apostles.

She wanted an agent, no, grab a star.

'But… … .'

Still, she thought of someone gloomy.

Kang Hyunmoo.

A person who can quench both thirst and hunger.

'You can't even match Kang Hyunmoo with these things.'

Seo-yeon Lee saw Helen as she looked at her, and she decided that she doubted that she would be able to face Kang Hyunmoo, even if she was Helen.

To get higher, you have to have more.

You have to grab more.

Compared to Kang Hyunmoo, everything in front of her now seemed infinitely light.

'finally… … .'

Seo-yeon Lee thought as she bit her tongue.

She said, 'As planned, I have no choice but to stick with Kang Hyunmoo at the right time.'
