Chapter 179. The White House
“Where is your guild master?”
Kim Do-Joon’s voice was sharp, his grip on Ko Cheong-Cheon’s collar unrelenting.
Ko Cheong-Cheon flinched when he met Kim Do-Joon’s eyes. Beneath the surface, fury burned, raw and unhidden. It pressed down on him, suffocating him under its weight.
Yet, he managed to steady himself because the anger was aimed squarely at Drake.
“I-I don’t know! We’re looking for him too!” shouted Ko Cheong-Cheon, desperately swatting at Kim Do-Joon’s hand.
Surprisingly, Kim Do-Joon let go without resistance.
Ko Cheong-Cheon quickly smoothed his crumpled shirt, stalling for a moment before continuing, “We haven’t been able to contact Drake since the incident. Not him, nor the other guild members at the headquarters... So, something’s definitely happened.”
He shot Kim Do-Joon a cautious glance. At first glance, the man seemed ordinary though well-built, as expected of high-ranking Hunters.
However, something about him made Ko Cheong-Cheon gulp nervously. Even as an S-class Hunter, once hailed as one of Korea’s strongest, he could not shake off Kim Do-Joon’s oppressive aura.
I already knew that he’s beyond me but...
The memory of their encounter in the Giant Woodland resurfaced. Since then, he had acknowledged Kim Do-Joon as a step above him. Even Walter, who had sparred with Kim Do-Joon, had praised him profusely.
