Returnee’s Life Report-Chapter 92

Tiamat (2)

===================

I had just received the money for clearing the SS-rated gates.

It was nine billion dollars, and I didn’t know how to use it.

Even in Valhalla, I let Yeo-Hwa deal with the money. The same applied on Earth, where I was going to let Jeong Gi-Hoon deal with it.

He was my right arm, so I could trust him.

Obviously, Gi-Hoon was shocked to hear that. Soon, his eyes got misty. He thanked me for trusting him that much, pledging that he would never disappoint me. After that, Gi-Hoon bought some stocks and buildings.

Meanwhile, I was watching TV in my office.

While I was gone, the world had changed a lot. There were a lot of TV shows to watch, and I planned to catch up.

“Boss, it’s me. May I come in?”

Gi-Hoon came in, noticing the show I was watching. “Oh, you are watching Game of Thrones?”

“You know it?”

“It’s a classic, you know. Haven’t you watched it?”

I had no time to watch it. That was why I said that I had many shows to watch.

Gi-Hoon headed to the table, then took out the clothes he’d brought. “These clothes are made from Mus Mahhu’s skin. This is our uniform. We got twenty of them.”

They were robes. I knew that these garments were useful: by wearing them, you could block an SS-rated hunter’s attack.

“Also, it took a lot of time to design.”

I nodded. “I let a named designer design the uniform for us. It’s quite comfortable, and its texture is impressive.”

I looked closely at the clothes. They did look to be of high quality.

“We also checked the durability. Even Hong Jong-Geun could not make a scratch.”

I laughed. Then I looked at the backside of the cloth. There was our signature written on our clothes.

夜王.

It was a Chinese character, meaning “Night King.”

It was quite ironic since our company’s name was Night King, but our company’s uniform was colored white.

However, it did not matter. I wasn’t going to wear that anyway.

“Give them to the others as well.”

Jeong Gi-Hoon nodded. Though, he stopped, saying, “I wanted to ask this first. Will you recruit more?”

However, as I mentioned before, I intended to stick to a few elites.

Kim So-Eun had a unique ability, and I liked her personality. In addition, she was growing rapidly. She was now C-rated.

Yoo Ee-Na had learned the unique skill “Acceleration.” Yoo-Jeong was an A-rated hunter who could snipe S-rated monsters without my help. Jeong Gi-Hoon was now a lancer, and he could use the skill without speaking the trigger word.

That already was enough.

I would take those four with me.

“We don’t need recruitment. The five of us are enough.”

Jeong Gi-Hoon smiled and nodded his head. “Understood. Also, have this robe.”

“Alright. Now get busy.”

At this, Jeong Gi-Hoon went out, and I resumed the show I was watching.

However, I felt something coming. I frowned.

My senses told me that something had arrived.

What the h*** was it?

***

At the same time, Ho was in his building.

The Hunters’ Union in Asia was in the process of construction. It was a large building with a lot of facilities.

A lot of hunters had been deployed to do the work. It would be finished in a month.

Meanwhile, they’d decided to use Cheon-Myeong’s tower as their office. Raul and Sophie were there as well. While they were out, Ho was working. Soon, he felt that something was not right.

There was a person next to him.

She was tall. She had two horns on her forehead, and her entire body was red.

Although she did not have any hair, she was mysterious and beautiful. Her eyes were like those of a tiger.

She had to be Tiamat.

[ I have slept for five hundred years. ]

“…”

[ I noticed that my children were killed. ]

His watch rang. Ho clicked it.

b Master! There’s an SSS-rated gate appearing!}

It was Hong Jong-Geun.

b But the gate is strange! It disappeared as soon as it appeared! I called you so that you’d be aware of it! }

Lee Hwan once said that the gate and teleport skills were not that different.

The gate was a type of portal, just like the teleport skill. The gates on Earth were portals created by some divine forces.

Lee Ho had then asked if he could escape a gate without clearing it. Usually, no one could do so. However, Hwan had said that he could.

Also, he had mentioned that if a monster was strong enough, they could rip open the gate and escape.

b Master, are you hearing this? }

“Yes, I am.”

However, as soon as Ho answered Jong-Gun, his watch exploded.

With this, Lee Ho observed Tiamat. He noticed that she had blasted some sort of energy with her finger. “…”

Lee Ho was not able to respond to that.

Tiamat then spoke to Lee Ho.

[ I can sense that the power of Rahab is inside you. Did you kill my child? ]

Technically, it was Lee Hwan who had killed Rahab. Lee Ho considered telling the truth, but instead, he just smiled.

[ Did you cut out his heart? ]

“…”

[ Did you eat my child’s life orb? ]

“…”

[ A human from another world hunted my child. Now, what shall I do? ] With that, Lee Ho stood up. Tiamat was stronger than the Godfather.

Lee Ho sighed and used his skill. The life energy was flowing inside him.

[ You do not have the ability to kill Rahab. ]

That was all.

Tiamat disappeared from Ho’s sight. Ho could not react to that.

Then she was in front of Ho. Tiamat punched him.

Lee Ho was pushed back. He collided with the wall of the building.

A crater formed. People were screaming. The building was destroyed. Everything was in a mess.

Lee Ho could hear Tiamat landing on the ground softly. He could barely stand up; the injury was serious.

As he coughed, blood came out.

His legs and arms were shaking. Eventually, he lost his balance.

Tiamat came toward him slowly.

[ You do have spirit, but you are weak. You have done something unforgivable. ]

Tiamat was confident. She walked slowly.

[ This world is larger than I thought. It shall be mine. ]

Tiamat raised her hand. That was when someone rushed to them. It was Raul. “Hey, Bro!”

Raul was there to help Lee Ho. His body was covered by a red aura.

He punched Tiamat in the chin. It hit but did not damage her.

Tiamat then glanced at Raul.

“Wow… What the h*** is this?”

Raul was surprised. However, soon, he noticed that her arm was coming. Raul tried to dodge, but her arm had already penetrated his chest.

It was lucky that she had missed the heart.

Tiamat was interested in Raul.

[ You responded to that? Interesting. ]

As Tiamat moved back, Raul fell.

Both Lee Ho and Raul were done. All Raul could do was laugh.

“Dang, there’s another hole in my chest.”

Soon, Sophie came and joined both of them. She was desperate. That was because of Tiamat’s power.

[ Tiamat ]

[ CA 654,822,999 (PA 1,500,000,000) ]

It was incredible. That monster had remarkable power.

However, her attempt to run was of no use. Tiamat was already in front of Ho. He was her only target. She was not interested in Raul or Sophie.

[ You have committed an unforgivable sin. You shall pay for what you have done. ] Even now, Lee Ho was thinking about the way to win.

He decided to summon his brother’s replica, but something grabbed Tiamat’s arm. Everyone glanced at that, and Lee Ho couldn’t help but laugh. Hwan was there.

Written on his robe was his signature.

[ Who are you…? ]

However, Tiamat could not finish her words. Hwan kicked her away. He then went to Ho. “Are you hurt?”

Lee Ho laughed. That made him cough, but he was smiling. Hunters from Cheon-Myeong were coming.

Hwan sighed. “I’m sad to see that my brother was beaten by someone.”

He then smiled and patted Ho’s head. “Don’t worry. I’ll teach that one a lesson.”

Lee Hwan slowly stood up.

When Sophie helped Ho to stand up, he noticed that Lee Hwan and Tiamat were not there. Where were they now?
