《Return of the Legendary Hunter》Chapter 9: Starfish Fang (4)
Advertisement
Woojin felt his body becoming sluggish as the effect of the drug wore off but the two bloodstones inside the starfish fang made him less slow. He stuffed the cash and gold into a bag. There were drugs too, but those were hard to get rid of so he only took the gold and cash. It took him two minutes to do all this. He had a bit more time, but he couldn't rest assured yet. As Woojin hopped over the wall, the minivan approached.
After Woojin got in the car, he sighed in relief. He had been warned of the danger of Cocktails for a long time already. He raised his hands which were shaking slightly. It was hard for his unconditioned body to maintain all the intense movements. He needed to return to his best-trained state. Fortunately, the Starfish Fang granted him a lot of agility.
The car went into some building's underground parking lot and stopped.
"A helicopter will be waiting for you on the roof."
"Thank you."
Woojin took the bags and took the elevator up the roof. As he returned to the chopper, the phone rang again.
[Seems like it's been taken care of.]
"Yes. I am on my way back."
[Do you have anything to sell?]
"Can I stop by right after I get back?"
[Sure. I'll have it ready.]
Woojin hung up the phone and looked outside. The sun was setting. He couldn't stop yesterday's massacre, but he prevented what was going to happen in Busan today. He saved four people from being kidnapped and about twenty people from being killed.
However, there was no way that the House of Dmitri, or Amon's avatar, would give up. And there were more avatars that Amon could bring to use. At least Amon was not going to consider the ones in Korea to be necessary at this point. Either way, there was no telling how long it was going to last.

He needed to make quick work if he were to stop them. There were lots of things he needed to do.
The helicopter arrived in Seoul and Woojin was then transported by car. As he arrived, he smiled.
"He's waiting for you on the 2nd floor."
Woojin took the bag up to the 2nd floor. He had a good relationship with Old Man Hwang in the past too. In fact, Woojin was the only one whom Hwang had dinners with.
But Woojin just didn't think it would happen this soon. This meant that Woojin would be considered his VIP, and Hwang only showed his catalog to his VIPs. Woojin needed to use this chance to get introduced to someone.
"Come, sit down."
Old Man Hwang greeted Woojin. Woojin sat down and tried using chopsticks, but he had to place them back down. His wrist was too swollen.
"Are you hurt?"
"It's okay."
He used his left hand to pick up the chopsticks. He needed to use both hands to survive fights. He had trained to do so in the past and although it wasn't perfect without training, it did allow him to use chopsticks at least.
"You want a drink?"
Woojin nodded and received a cup of liquor.
"So, what are you going to do now?"
Hwang was intrigued by Woojin. He had investigated Woojin, but there were no signs of him being a hunter throughout his entire life when he just killed two vampires in a day already. Killing two from the House of Dmitri would surely ignite their wrath. But why was he not afraid? Besides, why did he do such a thing in the first place? That's what Hwang wanted to know.
"I need to be introduced to someone."
"Introduce? I sell intel but I don't introduce."

Woojin then grabbed the liquor bottle, poured it into his cup, and drank. Then he concentrated on the dinner. That made Hwang more curious. He never imagined Woojin would want to be introduced to someone, but he didn't even respond to the old man's answer.
"Why'd you stop in the middle of a discussion? How about you tell me who you want to be introduced to?"
Woojin then placed down the chopsticks.
"I need to meet Doctor Ahn Jongguk."
"Doctor Ahn?"
"Yes."
Hwang then crossed his arms and looked at Woojin.
"How do you know about him?"
"I just heard."
Hwang shook his head this time.
"Not many hunters know his name. And there are very few who know his full name throughout the entire world."
He then used his chopsticks to pick up some food and asked, "So, how about you answer my curiosity?"
Woojin drank again wordlessly. It would've been good if he could explain it but he couldn't talk about what he had experienced to anyone.
"I'm sure you understand as you live on this side of the world. There are some things you just can't say."
Hwang looked silently at Woojin. It had been so long since he saw a man who could speak so boldly to him. Hwang didn't hesitate to resort torture if he wanted to know something in the past, but this time, Hwang wanted to know what this man wanted to do so badly that he chose to do nothing to him.
Woojin might be the hunter Hwang had been waiting for.
"Okay, I understand. But I'll need good money for it."
Woojin smiled.
"Yes. I have that prepared."

"Montana, come here." He nodded his head toward the door, leaving out of the room. Staying silent as Ms. Carol looked at me, I kissed the back of Josiah's hand before leaving out of the room. As I walked out, Messiah stood there looking at me in disgust while I closed the door. "What are you doing that shit for?" "Huh?" I said since I had nothing else to say, just trying to stall time to get my words together."Why are you stripping, Monty?"Sighing, I decided that I wasn't going to lie like I'd originally planned to do after listening to Chocolate's stupid advice. "Money." I spoke simply and he scoffed as I looked down."Why not just ask Josiah for money instead doing hoe shit?" "First of all, It's not doing hoe shit. I don't have sex with anyone. I just dance. And I don't want to ask him for any money. It's not his job to take care of me.""So stripping..." He trailed off with a laugh."..stripping was the last resort? Instead of putting your pride aside?" Saying nothing, I just looked at him with pleading eyes."Please don't tell him, Messiah." I could already tell by the look on his face that he was going to tell him."I ain't gon' tell him.." Thank God. I thought. "..you are." "What?!" I shrieked. "No. I'm not.""You are." He spoke in a demanding tone."Please. You know how he is." I expressed"And you know how he is too but you made that bed." "Messiah, he's going to kill me." I begged."I know." He shook his head, walking away from me."Better figure it out. You got until the end of the day to tell him or I will." He mumbled before walking back into the room.
