Hahoetal Returns (3)
Hahoetal’s actions of attacking the East Asia branch of Beoncheonhoe in Shanghai did not stop there.
As if the fact that there had been no news for a while was a lie, the momentum was used to completely destroy all of the forces under his command in the vicinity.
Afterwards, quite naturally, what happened in Shanghai, one of the most prosperous cities in China, quickly spread on the Internet.
Not only within China but also overseas beyond the border.
And the place that reacted most violently to the news was….
〈Hahoetal, who suddenly disappeared from Japan, sighting information emerges in Shanghai, China〉
〈Why did Korean dark hero Hahoetal go to China?〉
〈Triads in Shanghai The destruction of his organization – China’s public security emergency.
It was the Republic of Korea, a nearby country and also the birthplace of Hahoe Tal.
Starting from the yellow press that takes articles from China and reports them as is, through cyber wreckers who smell the number of views and rush in and exaggerate them with all kinds of provocative phrases, to the media that have their own credibility.
Everyone showed interest and interest in the news.
It was a natural thing to happen at that point.
Korea’s Internet community was more vibrant than it seemed on the outside.
〈Hahoe Mask’s brilliant comebackㄷㄷ〉
– What class starts work as soon as they return? LOL After the Yakuza, they are now attacking triads ㄷㄷ
-??? : I just got tired of walking around Japan, so I took a break and went sightseeing in China. Now that we have started working again, citizens can go about their business with peace of mind!
-Ha bro, you’re back! I trusted you!
└Aren’t you the kid who whined about where Hahoe Mask went the other day?
Hahoe Mask’s fan site ‘Seonangdang of the Dawn’, which seemed to be gradually drying up, began to see a steady increase in traffic starting from the morning when the news was first announced.
〈You bastards, Hahoetal is alive!〉
– Smash the heads of all the bastards who said they were dead. First, fuck me first ㅇㅇ
– Quick confession ㅇㅈ
– I will fuck you too…
– Wow ㅅㅂ But he was really alive? Are you not a stand-in?
└With this being done on such a large scale and the evidence continuing to come out, could it possibly be fake?
└Honestly, if such a perfect replacement is possible, we should just assume it’s real
└ㄹㅇㅋㅋ
Those who were skeptical about Hahoe Tal’s disappearance also changed their stance like a ghost.
Whatever it was, everyone recognized his potential and the value of his name.
Whether it’s positive or negative.
However, there were some who could not accept the news with ease.
They were none other than high-ranking Korean officials who, following Japan, faced protests from China.
As they had no particular relationship with Hahoetal, they could not help but feel unfair, but this issue could not be ignored in international relations.
Isn’t diplomacy something that smoothens ties between countries by taking action in some way, whether it’s cooperation or doing something else?
And one axis accounts for a part of it.
“Then let’s start an emergency meeting. “You all know the agenda, right?”
At the headquarters of the Korean Returnees Association located in Namsan, Seoul, a meeting of executives was just beginning.
“No, isn’t this topic already over? Even in Japan, it just ended up being a blur, right? But now that you’ve come here again?”
“I know. “I’m already busy, so why did you call me here again?”
– Well, it’s an unavoidable problem. I don’t know what we can do.
“…Can’t I participate via video? “Why is Seoul forced to participate…unfairly…”
Each of the executives convened under the chairmanship of the association said one thing at a time.
From the heads of each branch in Seoul to those in local cities who participated via video conference.
Unlike state institutions, the meeting room quickly became noisy due to the informal gathering of people.
The ability and status of an awakened person are proportional.
The executives in this position were all people who had put some weight on their shoulders in their own way in the world they came from.
Heroes, noble group leaders, famous names, etc….
They were already confident and confident in themselves, and although they respected others, they did not pay too much attention to them.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that this was a talent-centered selection that was carefully selected based on practical experience.
“China’s protest is stronger than expected. “The government says there is pressure coming from all directions.”
Of course, it was clear that the strong were treated with respect.
Having that ability meant surviving through such dangerous adversity.
The executives who had been talking noisily at the president of the association focused on what he said.
“yes? No, why are you going that far? At best, aren’t they only catching criminals? “I heard you only robbed a few organizations near Shanghai?”
-I guess your pride has been hurt? Are you arrogant enough to come over to my country and get upset?
“Well, you know the exact reason. “Maybe among the guys Hahoetal messed with was someone who was in touch with the high-ranking people there.”
On one side of the conference room where the conversation was going on.
Ji-yoon Yoon, the head of the southern branch of Seoul who was forcibly dragged to his seat, looked at the information on the pad with a sullen expression.
‘It definitely seems to be Hahoetal himself.’
All of them were materials about the Hahoe mask in China.
Not only photos, but also CCTV-based videos, eyewitness testimonies, and analysis results based on them.
Even though less than a day had passed, the information gathering was extremely competent.
‘Well, I guess most of what China presented was evidence.’
The meeting was going as smoothly as expected.
It was a problem without an answer to begin with, so there was nothing strange about it.
Moreover, what can they do now that Hahoe Mask is in China?
‘Didn’t you just want to make a fool of yourself? At this point, I want to gain the diplomatic upper hand. Those guys would be more than capable of doing that… hmm?’
As she flicked through the materials, her eyes were fixed on one place.
This was an example of a building where the first abnormality was reported.
‘Externally, it is an investment company. However, during the investigation, some suspicious circumstances were discovered. … This smells like something.’
Except for that one case, the rest were generally similar.
Indiscriminate punishment of the Triad and its related organizations that dominated the underworld in the surrounding area.
Hahoetal was not much different from what he had been doing so far.
‘Hahoetal Hahoetal… Now that I think about it…’
But as I thought about it again, something came to mind.
‘Beoncheonhoe was the organization whose tail was revealed after Hahoetal started running rampant.’
An organization that Alpha, the former leader of the clan and a level 9 mad blood demon who had recently caused a terrorist attack in her jurisdiction, belonged to.
I heard that the reason they went into hiding in Korea was a conflict with Hahoe Tal.
‘I just thought it would be like that until now…’
Now that I think about it, Hahoe Mask’s journey beyond Korea to Japan and China was also unusual.
Why does he go to other countries to hunt criminals?
And what is the correlation between the lull that took place during the reorganization of Japan and the current Shanghai incident?
Could it be that he followed the clues he found while scouring Japan to find them and went to China?
‘…I need to talk to Heinz.’
Actually, I didn’t really dig into it, but it was something I had some doubts about before.
About the relationship between Hahoetal and heterosis.
‘This time, as if to fill the void left by Hahoe Tal, he performed under the name Phantom. … Hmm, are we from the same world?’
After coming up with a sharp guess, she roughly organized her thoughts and focused on the meeting again.
That’s something I just need to figure out slowly going forward.
But even for a moment.
Still bored with the slow progress, she secretly took out the game from under her desk and played the game on her smart phone.
He even muted his voice and used his superhuman body control to try to be as inconspicuous as possible.
‘You’re playing a game.’
‘It’s a game.’
‘Ah, I’m jealous…’
But everyone here was also a superhuman.
Naturally, no one in attendance noticed her actions.
However, only the president of the association, who was conducting the meeting, frowned for a moment and glanced in that direction.
‘Ah, should I do more strings?’
Although her status was only a branch manager, no one said anything to her, as her abilities were comparable to those of the association president.

Wajangchang—!
A loud sound rang out from a place filled with all kinds of high-tech devices and miscellaneous items.
Looking at it up to that point, it could be said to be the same as usual daily life, but today, the mind of the person who was the subject of it was clearly different.
“Kkkkkkk—! That’s annoying! “I’m very upset. Yes!”
Clink—clink—crisp!
Even though the flasks were lined up without being touched, they exploded one by one like bombs.
As if reacting to his emotions.
“Whoa, no, no, no.” If this happens, all the precious reagents will disappear.”
However, as soon as he finished speaking truly, the remains of the flask and its contents quickly returned to their original places, as if turning back time.
After checking them again, a middle-aged man with gray-brown hair nodded slowly as if relieved.
And then—.
“I do not need!”
Wajangchang—! Kwachang—!
I just pushed it and threw it on the floor.
The doctor, the source of Beoncheonhoe’s technological prowess and Hoeju’s right-hand man, nervously combed his hair.
Even with the news that came today, nothing has gone as planned these days.
The trap has been prepared for a while, but the vampire named Heinz, who will be the key to the ‘Completely Evolved Creature Project’, has no intention of coming to Europe, and the useful Yulryeongja is defeated by Hahoetal who suddenly appears?
Losing him, who controlled all of East Asia, was a very big loss.
It was obvious that control over the area would decline for the time being.
“Ah! “What kind of thing is that?”
However, the point of the doctor’s anger was a bit off.
“I gave in at best! Ah, what a waste. “I was planning to steal the actual usage data once it was collected!”
He felt more sorry about losing the magic engineering item he had given him than the ruler himself.
Even though the person who was attacked this time was a high-ranking person within the Buncheonhoe, reaching a single digit in rank.
‘The device that assists the limbs can be remade, so even so, I really want to retrieve Calicas’ prosthetic eye.’
Of course, he had already ordered his subordinates to thoroughly inspect the area where the East Asia branch was located.
However, just like with the victims of Hahoe Mask until now, not even the body of the ruler, let alone the magic tool, could be found on the spot.
“It wasn’t a concession after all! I’d just put it on my eyes… or on my forehead! If you did that, you would have three eyes by now… huh?”
The doctor who was muttering so frantically suddenly stopped his actions and closed his eyes.
“Three eyes? “Third eye?”
Then he tilted his head a few times.
“Woohohoho~! “This is very interesting!”
He raised the corners of his mouth and began to laugh brightly, as if asking when he was angry.
His expression, which was once full of anger, now showed only curiosity.
“First, we have to choose a test subject! Let’s see. First, we have to make a hole in the skull and connect it to the pineal gland in the brain… Then it would be good to have a strong awakening!”
Then he rubbed his hands together and walked out of the room with light steps.
‘Who will take care of cleaning up East Asia! ‘That woman or something.’
Unfortunately, the matter of the ruler’s misfortune was no longer on his mind.
***
Immediately after capturing the ruler, the most high-ranking person among those I have hunted so far.
Naturally, Hans looked into his head as well.
I am hoping to get real, high-quality information this time.
‘The results were not very satisfactory, though.’
The task was not easy from the beginning, perhaps because he was someone who had clearly reached the level of the spiritual world.
If we were to judge the level, it could be considered to be at the edge of extremes, but if we were to consider the difficulty of the work, it would surpass even the transcendent level.
‘I didn’t know that that crazy guy could even format his own brain.’
A masterpiece that ended so quickly that Hans had no time to do anything.
In addition, the ruler destroyed his own spirit in the process.
So that he cannot obtain information even if he uses his soul.
He couldn’t be anything other than a disgustingly vicious person.
‘It’s a shame because I had a mental orb.’
If I hadn’t borrowed the power of the orb I got right after the previous mental attack and restored some of it as if doing forensics, wouldn’t I have really gotten nothing?
There was no way to know what would happen to the world, to be able to benefit from the equipment obtained through him like this.
And right after I got some rough information about them.
What are you doing first?…
“Sir, I’ll be away for a while!”
“ok? suddenly?”
Tarak’s Dwarf Workshop.
Zaonic blinked at Howard’s sudden words.
But despite that reaction, Howard just nodded gravely.
“Yes, just for a moment…I thought I might gain some enlightenment by reading newspaper articles.”
A lustful glow was shining in the eyes of the dwarf youth who was about to go to Earth to study.
