Chapter 47 (2/2)

Countless questions filled his mind.

Why did Auto-Hunting take the medicine as soon as the button was pressed?

Even without it, Yoo-seong could have defeated the Monkey Vipers and proceeded with exploration.

Taking in the medicine was what brought the unforeseen results.

Yoo-seong shook his head to clear his mind. It had already happened, and he had no one to blame.

Whatever the outcome was, he had to accept it and do the best he could to face the consequence. Now, what he needed to do was reach the exit.

He ran as hard as he could.

…

The rush team moved skillfully.

As soon as they squeezed through the rift, they immediately subdued the monsters within the vicinity by their organized teamwork.

The team members wore Anonymous suits.

Like the ones worn during the licensure test, the suits hide the wearer’s face and figure. However, these were modified for combat and had higher durability and star-rating than those that the examinees had. It was the trademark of Team Quartz, one of the teams in 2F4T.

They were known for wearing Anonymous suits in their operations. Schoolchildren even wore black stockings and leggings, trying to imitate the famous hunters.

As soon as the pulse breaker was fully charged, they fired flares at the sky to guide Yoo-seong to their location.

However, the monsters would also notice the flare and may try to approach them. It was a risk they had to take because it was their job to escort Yoo-seong out of the crack.

They didn’t have to wait long.

Yoo-seong arrived after a few minutes, gasping for air.

“Nice to meet you…” he greeted the team members.

He looked fine, without any injuries. However, the team members were surprised at his appearance.

He wasn’t wearing the Queen’s Hug. Instead, he wore a simple inner armor, with vines knotted over his knees, elbows, and fists.

They approached him slowly, and Yoo-seong walked towards them, expecting to be supported.

However…

Tang-!

Yoo-seong was thrown back in an instant. He rolled on the ground a few times before finally hitting a tree.

“It would be useless to resist,” one of the men in the Anonymous suits said as he took off his helmet.

Yoo-seong didn’t need to see his face to realize that he was not from Team Quartz.

He knew it as soon as he heard that Chinese accent.

The Chinese companies had been reaching towards the Korean industry. They must have reached an agreement with this famous team.

“Damn,” he muttered to himself.

“Where is the medicine case?”

“What?”

“We saw the footage of you and Jin Wei-baek,” the man said in a cold voice. “There is no way you’re getting out of here alive.”

They were inside the crack, and they weren’t wearing action cameras.

No one would find it suspicious if Yoo-seong failed to make it back alive from such a dangerous mission.

“So…” the man continued, “Where is the medicine case? Otherwise, we’ll make sure you’ll suffer before you die.”

Yoo-seong felt anger rising from him.

They didn’t know how much they looked forward to and prepared for this Dive.

He wouldn’t allow it to end this way.

“We are going to tear you from limb to limb until we get what we need…”

“Shut up,” Yoo-seong snapped.

“What?”

The Chinese man was stunned at his reaction. It was not what he expected.

Then, he began to approach Yoo-seong with murderous energy in his clenched fists.

Yoo-seong stood up and faced the man.

Luckily, he hadn’t encountered a monster on his way to the exit.

He felt refreshed after hours of rest.

“Where is the medicine case?!” the Chinese man yelled at him.

Aura rose within Yoo-seong as he prepared himself for battle.

In his mind, it would have been better if he faced a monster rather than fight with another human. However, it seemed as if there wasn’t much difference between these people and monsters in terms of viciousness.

Yoo-seong pressed the button.
