Chapter 127 : Chapter 127
Chapter 127: The President
Hunter Association Hospital, VIP Ward.
Yoo Jin arrived there.
Entry is restricted to unauthorized personnel.
The man guarding the door blocked his path by reaching out a hand without even checking Yoo Jin's face.
He was dressed in a sharp suit with dark sunglasses.
He seemed like an Association security guard or a staff member guarding the VIP ward.
Yoo Jin, who was holding something with both hands, looked into the face of the man who had stopped him.
It was just as he was about to open his mouth to say something.
Hey, hey.... What do you think you're...?
A man standing right next to him restrained the one who had blocked Yoo jin.
Judging by their attire, both seemed to belong to the same organization.
This man's sunglasses seemed a bit lighter.
If not that, he was a man who checked faces carefully, unlike the reckless man who had blocked Yoo jin.
Do you not know who this person is?
There is still an hour left before the VIPs are scheduled to arrive....
The man who was speaking stared blankly at Yoo jin's face and then trembled.
It seemed he finally realized exactly who the man he had blocked was.
Re... Returnee-nim....
The man, startled out of his wits, bowed his head.
I... I am sorry!
Please just spare my life!
A thunderous voice echoed down the hallway.
At those words, Yoo jin, the party concerned, merely let out a deep sigh.
Whew... Fine, so move.
It is heavy.
Yes!
Yes, sir!
The man guarding the ward quickly turned his body.
The door was finally fully visible.
Yoo jin paused while walking and opened his mouth again.
The door....
....?
The man who had stepped aside tilted his head with his ears perked up.
I am asking you to open the door.
I do not have hands.
Yoo jin showed the things he was holding with both hands.
At that sight, the man who had stepped aside quickly opened the door.
Then, Yoo Jin walked inside.
Slide—
The door slowly closed.
I... I almost died....
I told you to change your sunglasses to lighter ones.
I should do that.
Still....
The gazes of the two massive men guarding the door met.
Totally.
He is cool!
The two rough-looking middle-aged men hopped up and down like little children.
In that way, another fan of Yoo Jin was increasing.
***
Inside the VIP hospital room.
Yoo jin, who entered the place that was reminiscent of a penthouse, set down the get-well gifts he was carrying in both hands on the table.
Geez.... I cannot get used to this no matter how many times I come.
Why are you guys using my blood-like tax money?
Though he was speaking grumpily, his eyes were carefully taking in the condition of the men on the beds.
As soon as Cho Sang-geun and Kim Cheol-gu, who were lying on half-raised beds, spotted Yoo jin, smiles appeared on their lips.
You have come?
To think a Returnee would actually come to visit.
I have made it big too.
It seemed they did well to receive treatment at the best facility.
Unlike the previous day when they were covered in blood.
The condition of Cho Sang-geun and Kim Cheol-gu looked good.
Especially Kim Cheol-gu.
He had been in a much more critical situation than Cho Sang-geun.
To the point where he underwent surgery in addition to the healers' treatment.
Looking at him now, it seemed he had fortunately passed the crisis.
What do you mean 'made it big'.
Both of you are S-Ranks and Masters of the so-called 3 Great Guilds.
You guys are already rich.
Wow... there are even two refrigerators this time.
Yoo jin shook his head as he took in the large glass refrigerator on one side of the hospital room.
By the way, what is that?
Cho Sang-geun spoke up after seeing the items Yoo Jin had set down.
This?
A get-well gift.
No.
I know that, but....
Yoo jin, who was staring at the expression on Cho Sang-geun's face, realized something and nodded.
His hand reached for the plastic bag placed on the table.
Along with the sound of the bag rustling, Yoo jin's hand rummaged through the inside.
A moment later.
I heard you like this.
What was held in Yoo Jin's hand was Fantasy Superfood..
Furthermore, it was stamped with the mark of the shop that Kim Cheol-gu and Cho Sang-geun liked the most.
How did you get that?
That is something even we have to make a reservation to eat.
S-Rank.
Money.
Fame.
Power.
The most powerful people in South Korea who possessed all of those.
The master's Fantasy Superfood that even Cho Sang-geun and Kim Cheol-gu could only barely receive by making a reservation a few days ago.
The master's true handmade Superfood, of which only five bowls can be made a day.
Yoo Jin was holding that.
Ah, this?
I snatched it from the reporters outside.
Ah, no. I did not snatch it, they just gave it to me?
....
....
The eyes of Cho Sang-geun and Kim Cheol-gu became narrow lines.
He clearly said with his own mouth that he snatched it....
However, they could not utter that out loud.
How long has it been since they came back from the dead?
Why create more reasons to die.
Cho Sang-geun and Kim Cheol-gu nodded without questioning.
They could roughly guess the situation.
Because they had seen through the window since morning.
The numerous reporters who had set up camp in front of the hospital to cover them.
'They must have been scolded severely....'
'The reporter who tried to trade with that Superfood might have died if things went wrong....'
Dizzying scenes flashed through the heads of Cho Sang-geun and Kim Cheol-gu.
Anyway, I will leave this here, so eat it yourselves.
Yoo Jin, who set the Superfood down on the table, moved his steps and approached the refrigerator.
A high-end glass refrigerator.
Inside, there were plenty of things that looked expensive.
Potions.
Fruits cultivated with mana stones.
Expensive beverages.
Are you guys pretending to be sick and taking bribes?
Yoo jin opened the refrigerator and took out a drink.
The hospital filled that up....
When Yoo jin's eyes turned toward Kim Cheol-gu, Kim Cheol-gu—who had a rough face that most people would not even dare talk to—lowered his eyes and made a gloomy expression.
Then this is also tax money.
Haaa... Should I just destroy the whole hospital?
Though he was speaking like a joke, it did not sound like a joke at all to the listeners.
Because they felt that if it were this man, he could actually do it.
At that moment.
Slide!
Oh?!
When did you get here?
The door opened and Lee Si-wang entered.
I just got here.
Hey, did you see this too?
See what?
My tax money leaking away.
Ah!
The refrigerator?
I think my tax money is in there too.
This won't do.
Let us get our taxes back.
Yes!
Yoo jin and Lee Si-wang ran to the refrigerator and began to bring the things inside to their mouths.
Munch, munch.
Kyah!
Yoo jin and Lee Si-wang were emptying the refrigerator with incredible speed.
....
....
Cho Sang-geun and Kim Cheol-gu took that in with dazed looks, and then soon.
They wore smiles.
He is a fascinating person.
Really consistent.
Really....
A person who is most human even while possessing the power of a god.
It was a sight that was hard to believe belonged to the hero who had saved the world just yesterday.
That aside, I now know why you do not worry about the Wily Raccoon or the President.
What did you see to say such a thing?
What do you mean 'what did I see'.
It is obvious.
Anyone can see that....
In fact, Cho Sang-geun already knew the answer.
Smiles spread across the lips of Kim Cheol-gu and Cho Sang-geun.
They are real friends.
The sight of Lee Si-wang and Yoo jin, who were laughing while looking at each other while taking the same actions, was captured in their view.
In that way.
The day of the heroes, who had saved the whole world from the Revolutionary Army without even realizing it, was passing pleasantly.
At that moment.
Ooooooh!
Quickly!
Noisy sounds echoed from outside the window.
A commotion loud enough to be heard even on the top floor.
The movements of Lee Si-wang and Yoo jin, who were raiding the refrigerator, stopped.
Cho Sang-geun and Kim Cheol-gu, who were lying on their beds, met each other's eyes.
Unlike Yoo Jin and Lee Si-wang, who had no particular expressions.
The expressions of Cho Sang-geun and Kim Cheol-gu were sunken.
This level of commotion.
If the voices of the reporters had grown loud enough to be heard up to the top floor.
There is only one reason.
It seems he has arrived.
Either way, they were the 3 Great Guilds that supported the nation.
Furthermore, it was a battle against the Revolutionary Army, which had thrown the entire world into chaos, albeit briefly.
Politically.
No, even if it was just for show.
He had moved.
The President.
***
Rank 1 in the South Korean Awakened rankings.
An S-Rank of whom there are only 10 in the entire world.
At the same time.
He, who reigns as the President of South Korea, entered the Hunter Association Hospital.
Time was delayed for a moment because of the numerous reporters he faced as soon as he got out of the car, but it did not matter since he had arrived earlier than the original schedule.
And anyway, saying a few words in front of reporters was something possible even without any preparation.
Because he was the overwhelming President of South Korea and a person who maintained the top spot uniquely even within the ideology of democracy.
The President, surrounded by numerous bodyguards, passed through the lobby and headed for the top floor.
An elevator heading to the top floor.
The secretary briefly briefed him on the next schedule.
Even in such a series of situations, the President did not wear any expression.
A day that always repeats.
Since he had already experienced most things in his past three lives, it was merely tedious.
Because the truly big events were still a long way off in the future.
However.
'It is changing little by little.'
A few things began to change.
The liberation of Yeoncheon was one such thing.
The Revolutionary Army, which appeared more quickly, was another.
And unlike his past three lives.
'Everything was resolved.'
In his past three lives, Yeoncheon was not liberated.
And the Revolutionary Army led by Rossi turned the world into a shambles until the very end.
There was an even bigger troublemaker, but the ones who gave an equally large impact were Yeoncheon and the Revolutionary Army.
Those two incidents.
Were both resolved at an early time.
Furthermore, because of just one human.
Is it a coincidence?
No.
It wouldn't be a coincidence.
Because in his past three lives.
That existence did not exist.
"We have arrived."
Behind the voice of the secretary.
The elevator door opened.
And.
***
On the face of the President, who had maintained an expressionless look.
Something called an expression was coming to life.
What is it?
Aren't you getting off?
In front of the elevator door.
There was a man with a furrowed brow.
He wasn't completely blocking the front of the elevator door, but the fact that one could not move forward immediately because of him was a big deal.
Blocking the President's path was something that could not happen.
And it made no sense for the President to twist his body to avoid a person and go around them.
Therefore, the secretary and bodyguards were frozen while looking at the man.
Unlike them, who perceived it as an emergency.
In the eyes of the President, an undeniable emotion was blooming.
It is this man.
I have finally met him.
The man in front of his eyes.
The man who liberated Yeoncheon.
The man who made the Revolutionary Army exit as soon as they appeared.
The man who changed the future he knew.
the man who did not appear in his past three lives.
So.
Perhaps....
The only variable that might be able to save himself.
And the world.
Yoo jin.
If you are going to get off, do it quickly, I have to take the elevator.
Ex... Excuse me, even if you are a Returnee, do you not know who this person is?
This person is....
Though he was terrified.
The secretary spoke with a trembling voice to fulfill his duty.
However, before the answer to that voice, or the voice of the Returnee could come out.
An unexpected voice echoed that would stop everyone's movement.
"Can we talk for a moment? Returnee."
The President's voice drew all attention.
