Chapter 44 – Seeking the Owners (2)

At a plaza in front of Bucheon City Hall
It was an area that the city would often use to host special events or festivals The area itself was large enough that it seeh it would never be able to fill up even if hundreds of people gathered
But despite that, even though hundreds of people could fit, nobody dared to go in
It was a result of the intense atht about by the people in the plaza
The patterns on the right hands of all those present at the plaza explained why
The awakened
The awakened who used their power to hunt the monsters
'Just how long am I supposed to wait here?'
'damn it, he said the appointed time was 3PM!'
The awakened who had gathered here were those ere a part of parties that operated in the Mek Clan domain and were taxed for their efforts
If ranks were to be attached, then they would go from 1st to 7th
They had long since grown accusto h
'6PM'
'······he made us stand out here for three hours'
'The sun has already disappeared'
They had been enduring the cold, knife-like winter wind for three hours now
Beasts would never be able to match up to them A beast had no need for this kind of patience
Nevertheless, it was one of the reasons why they had endured the winds out in the plaza for three hours
'Well, nothing I can do No choice but to endure for as long as I can'
'If I have to freeze to death here, I will There’s no way I can leave'
'If we fall out of favor with him, we’ll die'
Kim Tae Hoon
The master of the Mek Clan and the lord of these people, he was the one who had called them here
That hy they had been so patient
Afterall, no dog would dare not to hen the master calls
”Looks like everyone has gathered”
A person finally appeared before the crowd
”Ah, it’s cold It’s really cold today”
However, it wasn’t thefor
The ht handa thick ju at it
'This guy again?'
'Tsk'
Seeing hirind their teeth
nobody was afraid of Chang Sung Hoon There was no reason to be afraid He was neither an awakened nor even a strong person aun like the rest of the Mek Clan’s soldiers
”Everyone is cold, right? Would all of you like to receive a hot pack? It’s used but, oh well”
But despite that, nobody dared ignore him
His words were the same as Kim Tae Hoon’s words
”Anyways, it’s been awhile since we’ve all gathered like this This is the first tiotiations after Lee Jin Sung’s death Furthermore, there are familiar faces and new faces”
Because of that, nobody risked co, and only stared at him
'They’re in a position where they can’t kill me'
The light in their eyes told Chang Sung Hoon that if it wasn’t for Ki Hoon immediately
Looking at their eyes, Chang Sung Hoon sihed
'Their eyes are just the way I want them to be'
That was the reason why Chang Sung Hoon had purposefully come three hours late
'If their stomachs are full and their backs are warm, they’ll expose weaknesses Even if it’s a little, this should reveal some of their true intentions'
He was going to turn the Mek Clan into a guildtoday At the sa to create a clan to function under the Mek Guild’s banner
They would even support the clan with guns, ammunition, and even relics
It would be risky, of course
The gun was a terrifyingly powerful weapon But anyone who points their barrel at the Mek Clan would face tree
You could never trust the black-haired creatures known as humans
But, they had no choice but to arm at least some of the awakened
'This day was a long ti'
They could not stay as they were
It would be foolish to tie the limbs of those who may be able to help you when the situation deteriorates just so that they wouldn’t be able to harm you
Above all, the inti
'Well, I would prefer someone with the balls to threaten the boss'
It would be optimal to have someone ould threaten Kim Tae Hoon There was a limit to what someone could do on their own
”Well then, let in”
Of course it would be stupid to give without end
So he had deliberately exposed them to the cold wind for three hours He wanted to know their inner thoughts, so he chose to listen to their hearts, not their words
Even if it was a powerful awakened, it would be i faced the brunt of the cold wind for so long
”The Mek Clan is now the Mek Guild We will also be recruiting a clan to actively work under us Naturally, the guild will provide the clan with support”
The cold glares directed at Chang Sung Hoon began to change
”There are two main items we plan to provide to the clan The first is firearms and ammunition”
As soon as they heard that, their eyes began to blaze like a wildfire
'We can finally get guns'
'This day has finally come'
The gathered awakened were strong
Whether it was through consu iteer
But their gathered strength still wasn’t high enough
Firearms were such weapons that could help them make up for that deficiency Not only were they powerful, but they were easy to use and effective against many different kinds of enemies
'If we can get our hands on soe tier monster'
All of a sudden, guns would give therade monsters
It was also one of the reasons why the awakened had been obediently handing over their monster stones
They were showing their loyalty and obeisance in hopes that this day would come
As long as the Mek Clan wasn’t stupid, they would never give firearms to anyone who didn’t show a certain amount of sincerity
”As for the second item…”
His speech didn’t end there
With a hand gesture, soldiers fro onto some equipment
Anyone who saw the onto a relic
”The Mek Guild will provide an eligible awakened with a relic”
At that
'It doesn’t see?'
'If he’s showcasing them here, they must be of considerable worth'
Boundless Storm
Chusa Kiht everyone’s eye Some of them put their hands in their pockets and fiddled with their s to find out the Grade and Relic Effect with the cameras on their smart phones
But Chang Sung Hoon had no intention to relieve their anxiety
”These are e’ll support the clan with Of course, there are some conditions And a few of them at that We’ve already drafted up a contract It is seven pages long It was a pain in the neck trying to print this froe, paper and electricity are far more precious than a Rolex Watch”
Puleok puleok, Chang Sung Hoon shook the contract bundle
”But before that, let me talk about the key points”
At thatHoon’s position
Ggoolguk!
Everyone gulped as soon as thatwas an obvious indicator of who this man was
Kim Tae Hoon
