Leveling Up Alone-Chapter 425: I Will Show You Who’s Boss (7)

All twelve Hunters coughed up blood.

U-Ughh!

They were a bloody mess, and the skin on their hands had ripped open, causing them to profusely bleed. This was the price they had to pay for clashing against powers above their league.

The large orc scoffed and said, Hmph! You humans are weak and fragile!

Han-Yeol snickered and said, Kekeke! Good job, Overkai.

Chwik! It is an honor to be of service, O Great Being!

Thud!

The Black Orc called Overkai balled his fist and thumped it against his right chest before bowing to Han-Yeol.

Meanwhile, the bloody twelve Hunters were completely incapacitated and squirming on the ground.

Hmm Han-Yeol muttered with his arms crossed over his chest.

Then, he noticed that the eyes of the Black Orcs were sparkling a bit too much.

Slurp! Slurp!

They were licking their lips and drooling while looking at the Hunters, and this was due to none other than the Predator skill they learned after becoming Han-Yeols subordinates.

C-Chwii

Chwiiik!

Overkai! Han-Yeol shouted.

Thud!

Chwik!

The large Black Orc, Overkai, kicked off the ground as soon as Han-Yeol called his name. freewebn(o)vel

H-How can this be?

How can a human being do something so hideous?!

The elites were shocked by what was happening in front of their eyes. Twenty-four Black Orcs were currently devouring the twelve Huntersalive.

The screams of the Hunters begging for help reverberated in the air and struck fear in the hearts of the remaining 1,011 elites.

Y-You monsterno, you demon! Do you not fear the heavens?!

How could you do something like this?!

The heavens will smite you!

Three of the businessmen stepped forward and protested against Han-Yeol. They were not protesting out of bravery or anything, but rather, they had already lost it and gone crazy.

They pointed at Han-Yeol and started screaming like rabid animals while foaming from their mouths.

You are a demon! I shall punish you and skin you alive to show the world who you truly are!

You will not enter Heavens Paradise!

One of the social problems these days was a new religion called the Church of Heavenly Paradise, and they preached that certain people were destined for doom while a select few would enter paradise and enjoy its gifts.

Tsk. Han-Yeol grimaced and clicked his tongue. Then, he raised his right hand.

Shwoong! Shwoong! Shwoong!

Puuuk! Puuuk! Puuuk!

K-Kuheok!

Nine arrows instantly shot toward the three businessmen, and they were struck by three arrows each.

K-Kheok!

The arrows kept them suspended in the air despite their limbs going limp, and they looked at Han-Yeol with pleading eyes.

However, Han-Yeol icily ignored their pleading gazes as if not interested at all. Then, he whispered in a low, barely audible voice, Youre destined for the fiery pits of hell, not heaven.

The three businessmen soon closed their eyes and fell limp.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

They dropped to the ground like ragdolls after the arrows disappeared.

W-What happened just now?

The twelve Hunters and three businessmen just died, bringing the total number of elites present down to 1,008.

Surprisingly, Han-Yeols barbaric methods worked like a charm against the remaining elites. They might be proud and arrogant individuals, but they were still humans at the end of the day. Meaning, it was natural for their instincts for survival to kick in the moment their lives were threatened.

I s-surrender I will confess my crimes and give up all of my ill-gotten gains, so please spare me.

The elites started surrendering one by one, and every single one of them seemed to have lost all will to resist.

On the other hand, Han-Yeol grimaced and looked quite disappointed.

What? I was just getting started! Hey, dont give up now! he sneered.

Crack!

The elites gnashed their teeth in anger at his provocation, but none of them dared to do anything. After all, they were up against a Transcendent Master-Rank Hunter while surrounded by brute orcs, of which twelve A-Rank Hunters failed to take down a single one.

What were the elites supposed to do when none of them were Hunters?

Tsk. I guess I have no choice. Hey, orcs!

Boom! Boom!

The Black Orcs thumped their chests twice in unison and opened up the path leading out of the Blue House.

Ah!

The so-called road to life finally opened up for the elites, but none of them seemed to be happy about it. This road indeed gave them hope, but it only had a single destination, which was a living hell.

Then, one of the elites raised his hand and said, I-I will confess my crimes, but I will need time to prepare all the documents required. M-May you kindly give me some time to prepare?

Hmm, I guess that makes sense, Han-Yeol replied while rubbing his chin. Then, he clapped and said, Alright, listen up! I will give you ten days to document every single crime you have committed! Make sure you prepare everything and show up at the prosecution before the time limit. Ah, dont forget to bring money too, and whoever attempts to escape will be Nah, I dont have to tell you, right? (f)reenovelkiss

Han-Yeol did not bother to explain what was going to happen. Instead, he brought his thumb to his neck and drew a line across it.

Y-Yes, I understand

The 1,008 elites, who fortunately survived Han-Yeols barbaric acts, dragged their heavy feet out of the Blue House with their shoulders drooping down.

Chwik! Chwik!

Hiiiik!

One of the elites staggered and fell on a Black Orcs chest.

Chwik! The Black Orc expressed his annoyance and shoved the elite to the ground while unleashing its bloodlust.

The overwhelming bloodlust was too much for an average person to bear, and he ended up soiling his pants.

Bwahaha! Han-Yeol ended up bursting into laughter after seeing what happened.

The events that transpired on this day made Han-Yeol look like the worst villain the world had ever seen. Ironically, the elites that corrupted South Korea generation after generation over the past one hundred years thought they were the victims, just like damsels in distress.

***

Surprisingly, the heinous acts Han-Yeol committed did not spread like wildfire in the media. Most of the owners of the media outlets were among the ones invited and threatened by Han-Yeol.

The reformation Han-Yeol wanted to do proceeded quite smoothly and quickly. None of the media outlets dared to criticize what he was doing, as the entity that wielded all power in the country was no longer the politicians or corporate owners but Han-Yeol.

Of course, some of the elites threatened by him tried their best to bring his atrocities to light.

How is he able to get away with what he did in this day and age? He has to pay for what he did!

They tried their best to get any news outlet to report about it, but the only ones they managed to convince were the third-rate tabloids nobody had ever heard of, along with some online news websites.

The elites threatened by Han-Yeol felt like they were going crazy. They still had nine days to strike back, but they could not think of a way to win against a Transcendent Master-Rank Hunter.

In the end, they were left with only two choices. The first was to confess their crimes, surrender their ill-gotten wealth, and go to jail to pay for their sins; and the second was to get hunted down and die.

Ugh

The chairman of the S Group, Ji Geo-Guk, was cooped up in his mansions study. He gulped down his tenth bottle of whiskey for the day and let out a defeated sigh.

Sigh

He no longer looked like the once ambitious businessman who ruled over the biggest conglomerate in South Koreahe resembled an old man counting the days he had remaining in this world.

Aaaaack!

Whoosh! Bam!

Huff! Huff! Huff!

He started displaying bipolar personality disorder as he threw the whiskey bottle to the wall and huffed and puffed.

This was already the second day he had been cooped up in his study, so his family, the groups vice chairman, and his doctor were anxiously waiting outside the door for him to come out. Nobody dared to enter the study, as Ji Geo-Guk forbade anyone from entering.

A woman leaned next to the door and called out to him. Dear

She was none other than Ji Geo-Guks wife, Madame Lee Ah-Ryeong. Well, she was not his official wife. She was a promising rising actress who had caught Ji Geo-Guks eye and ended up at his side.

Ironically, Ji Geo-Guks wife still lived in the mansion, but Lee Ah-Ryeong was the one who slept in the master bedroom.

When is Hee-Yun going to be here?

T-That is

Im here, so can you shut up? Your voice is annoying.

Oh! Welcome back, Hee-Yun! Hohoho!

Lee Ah-Ryeong feared nobody in the mansion, as Ji Geo-Guk doted on her, but even she did not dare to act tough in front of Miss Hee-Yun. She could order the other family members to be exiled from the mansion if she wanted, but Miss Hee-Yun was untouchable even for her.

After all, if there was anyone Ji Geo-Guk doted on more than Lee Ah-Ryeong, then it was Miss Hee-Yun.

Is father still cooped up in his study, ahjussi? Miss Hee-Yun asked her fathers secretary.

The old secretary had served the S Group for over thirty years now, yet this was the first time he found it hard to respond to a question. Y-Yes, milady

Haa Please step aside, and I mean all of you.

A-Alright, as you wish, Miss Hee-Yun.

Miss Hee-Yun walked toward the study door, but not before glaring at her fathers mistress who had pushed her mother out and taken over the position as the owner of the house.

Knock Knock

She knocked on the door twice. I will enter, Father.

Ji Geo-Guk would have screamed and thrown his ashtray if anyone else dared to enter without his permission, but the only exception was his beloved daughter, Hee-Yun.

The only reason everyone patiently waited outside the study room without causing a ruckus was that they believed everything would be resolved the moment Miss Hee-Yun arrived.

Click. Clack!

Creak

Hee-Yun grimaced at the stench of alcohol reeking in the study room.

Father, just how much did you drink?

Oh! My beloved daughter! Welcome!

Ji Geo-Guk welcomed her the moment she entered the study, and he got up and approached her before grabbing both of her hands.

F-Father? Hee-Yun was flustered when her father, who was the strictest man she knew, was suddenly acting this way.

H-Hee-Yun Help me Save your father this once, please

Father? What happened on Earth happened to you?

That is Ji Geo-Guk proceeded to explain what happened two days ago.

He did not leave out a single detail from the event that transpired at the Blue House, and he even exaggerated some parts to make Han-Yeol look even more villainous.

Hee-Yuns jaw dropped the longer her fathers story went.

N-No way.

I only have a week left, and this old man will rot in prison if I confess to all of my sins! Yes, I have sinned greatly, but all of those are in the past! Also, I have done much for our country and our people, so please My beloved daughter please save me

Hee-Yun felt conflicted while looking at her father. There were a few things she found odd about her fathers story, but she could tell he was not lying, judging from the desperation in his eyes.

Also, her eyes noticed the fact that the safe in the study was open, and the numerous secret documents in it were sprawled out on the table. This gave her further assurance that Lee Han-Yeol had indeed threatened the guests just as her father said.

In the end, she closed her eyes and nodded. Okay, I understand.

Ah! Hee-Yun! Ji Geo-Guk exclaimed as his eyes lit up.
