3.

There was a square in front of Bucheon City Hall.

It was a stage set up for festivals and events hosted by the city, and so wide that they could not feel crowded even if a hundred people gathered.

But now the square, where a hundred people had gathered, seemed so full that no one could come in anymore.

It meant that the spirit of each person filling it was so huge and intense.

The basis and evidence of such spirit were the marks that most of the people who filled the square had on the back of their right hand.

Awakeners.

Furthermore, they were hunters, who used the power of the Awakeners to hunt monsters.

'How long do we have to wait?'

'Damn it, they told us the time is three o'clock!'

In addition, among the parties in the area of the Mac Clan, they had paid the highest number of monster stones to the Mac Clan.

In terms of ranking, they ranged from first to seventh.

Now they were the predators who were more familiar with the smell of monster blood. It was natural that their spirit was intense.

'6 p.m.'

'… they have kept us outside for three hours.'

'The sun is already gone.'

They had blankly faced a cold winter wind like a blade for three hours now.

Their image was not the same as a predator. A predator didn't need this patience.

Nevertheless, there was one reason why they stood in the square in front of the City Hall where the cold wind was blowing for more than three hours.

'I can't help it, I'll have to hold on until I can.'

'I'd rather die if I were frozen to death here, I can't leave.'

'When I were left out of his eyes, I would be dead.'

Kim Tae-hoon, who was the leader of the Mac Clan and those here, had called them.

That was why they were patient.

There was no dog that didn't wait when the owner called.

”You're all here.”

Finally, for the first time, a man, not a cold wind, appeared in front of them.

”Oh, it's cold. It's really cold today.”

But it wasn't the man they were waiting for.

Jang Sung-hoon, who was Kim Tae-hoon's right-hand, showed up in a thick jumper that seemed warm to everyone's eyes.

'Is that him again?'

'Pht.'

Some of them grit their teeth at his appearance.

No one was afraid of Jang Sung-hoon. There was no reason to be afraid. He was not an Awakener, nor was he strong in the public. He was not even wearing a military uniform like Kim Tae-hoon's soldiers, or carrying a gun.

”Is it cold, everyone? Can I get you a used hot pack?”

But there was no one who ignored him, either. His words were the same as those of Kim Tae-hoon.

”It's been a long time to see you since I met you at the negotiations after the death of Lee Jin-sung. This is the first time that we've gotten together. There are some faces that I saw there, and there are some faces I am seeing for the first time.”

No one complained, and they just looked at Jang Sung-hoon.

'They are going crazy to kill me.'

'If it was not for Kim Tae-hoon, they showed the will to kill Jang Sung-hoon immediately.

In front of them, Jang Sung-hoon smiled lightly. 'It's just the look I want.'

That was why Jang Sung-hoon came out three hours later than this appointment time.

'When they are stuffed and their backs are warmed, lying comes out, and at least at this time they will reveal their true intentions.'

'I will change the Mac Clan to a Guild here today, and at the same time, I will select a Clan to work under the Mac Guild.'

'I will give guns and ammunition to the Clan that is selected, and even relics.'

'It is dangerous, of course.'

'Guns are terrifyingly powerful, but if the muzzle of the guns that they received were directed at the Mac Guild, the damage would not be small.'

'Above all, they should never trust a human being, a black-haired animal!'

But nevertheless, he had to let those in front of him hold their guns and swords.

'This day finally comes.'

'Nothing happens as it is now.'

'It is not a good choice to tie the hands and feet of those who can become a competent power in a situation where their present safety may be threatened and if they don't kill, they will die.'

Above all, there were already enough threats.

'Well, I'd rather be glad if anyone could become strong enough to threaten the Boss.'

'Therefore, it will be better to have someone who can threaten Kim Tae-hoon's stronghold. Kim Tae-hoon has a limit to what he can do alone.'

”Well, let's start talking.”

'Of course, it is foolish to give without end.'

So he deliberately exposed them to the cold wind for three hours, not to hear the plain-spoken words, but to hear the real thing that popped out without them thinking about it.

Even if they were an Awakener with power, their heads would become stiff if they were exposed for a period of time to this winter wind.

”Today, Mac Clan will become the Mac Guild, and at the same time, the Mac Guild will recruit Clans to work under its command. Of course, there will be guild-level support for the Clans that work under the Mac Guild.”

The glittering of the eyes that had frozen coldly began to change at his words.

”There are two main items of support. One is guns and ammunition.”

Most of them changed the glitters of their eyes in a moment when they heard about the support items.

'Finally, we are provided with guns.'

'This day finally came!'

The Awakeners here were strong.

They had strengthened their ability by eating monster stones, and they had also made items through monster hunting.

But their power was still not up to a gun.

'A gun is such a powerful weapon. It is powerful, and most of all, it is not difficult to use.'

'If we are provided with guns, we can kill orange-grade monsters. So if we are given guns right away, it will not be so difficult to kill an orange-grade monster.'

It was also the reason why the people here had paid a lot of monster stones. They had been loyal to the Mac Clan, waiting for this day to come.

If the Mac Clan weren't stupid, they wouldn't give a gun to those who didn't show that kind of sincerity.

But the story was not over there.

”This is the second support.”

When Jang Sung-hoon gestured, the soldiers of the Mac Clan who were waiting nearby, now the soldiers of the Mac Guild, brought over the goods.

They were relics that anyone could see and use.

”I'll give relics to the qualified.”

At that moment, everyone's eyes concentrated in one place.

'I don't think that's a normal item.'

'If it's a relic, it's a big fish.'
