Chapter 173
Boom! Boom! Boom!
May 24, 2020.
An event that determined the fate of Earth unfolded.
The powerhouse nations of the world—America, China, Japan, Germany, and France—had been annihilated, and Korea, the leading nation in the Hunter industry, was fortifying its final defensive line centered around its capital, Seoul.
Crackle.
“Team Bravo, report!” Young-Chul spoke into the radio.
Korea’s unprecedented hero and a First Hunter, the Sword Emperor Lee Kang-Hyun, served as the deputy commander of this operations team.
Divided into Teams Alpha and Bravo, the operations team was closely monitored by Young-Chul from the situation room in the Hunter’s Bureau. His lips were dry as he anxiously awaited Team Bravo’s report over the radio.
“Team Bravo, report!” he called out once more.
However, despite repeated requests, there was no response from Kang-Hyun. The calls went unanswered, echoing meaninglessly, while Young-Chul refused to face the grim reality of the situation.
“Chief...” muttered a staff member in the situation room with a voice filled with despair.
All eight screens displaying Team Bravo’s emergency cams had gone dark. This was undeniable evidence that they had been wiped out by the enemy.
