I upgrade alone

Although the reporters tried desperately to rush into the building, they were unable to get past the high wall made up of inspection staff.

"What, what?"

Li Wencheng, who was instantly snubbed, looked at the agent absurdly, and the agent handed him the screen content he had just confirmed.

"S-rank?"

Li Wencheng's expression was dull.

"Why did an S-rank come out today?"

Trying to get public attention as an A-rank hunter, but an S-rank hunter who appeared out of nowhere ruined the plan.

No, there must be something wrong.Li Wencheng shook his head.

The S-Class is not the canned coffee in the vending machine, you can have it if you want it.

Will any reporter know what's going on?

Coincidentally, a familiar figure who came to the stairs one step later and was talking on the phone appeared in Li Wencheng's sight.

It's the newspaper reporter who suggests tomorrow's headlines.

"That, Reporter Lin!"

Although Li Wencheng's voice was quite anxious, Reporter Lin walked past him after a perfunctory sentence.

"Ah, Li Wencheng, I will contact you later."

"Ah? Reporter Lin, Reporter Lin!"

Reporter Lin walked further and further away, and Li Wencheng who was behind him clearly heard the content of his call.

"...Okay, tomorrow's news headlines will all be replaced by sad E-ranks and joyful S-ranks'!"

Li Wencheng looked around blankly.

There was no one around him.

Realizing this, Li Wencheng sat slumped on the ground.

"This...what's the situation."

When he kept muttering to himself, the door of the association suddenly opened, and the appearance of the tenth S-class hunter in country H was revealed to everyone.

Swish, delete, Swish, Swish, Swish, Swish, Swish!

Cheng Jin-Woo's eyes widened.

'What's happening here?'

Seong Jin-Woo, who was patted directly on the forehead by the camera, Baek Yul-ho who was full of regret behind him, and Choi Joong-in who was smiling helplessly beside him were all captured in the photo.

lunch time.

After finishing the morning work, the hunters of the mining team gathered together for lunch.

Although mining is the main task, since there are no other collapses or collapse accidents, the atmosphere at the site is quite active.

Some hunters lie down to rest after eating; some hunters are playing with their mobile phones and laugh from time to time; some hunters are sitting together, drinking wine and eating side dishes.

"Um?"

A hunter who was fiddling with his mobile phone was taken aback and raised his upper body.

"Isn't this Xiao Cheng?"

Li Chengjiu pricked up his ears.

"Really?"

"Why is Xiao Cheng on the news?"

As expected, I heard correctly.

"I knew it would be like this."

After drinking three glasses of wine, Li Chengjiu, whose face was flushed, rushed into the crowd as if he had been waiting for this moment.

Even so, his mouth still couldn't stop.

"I knew it from the moment that guy glared at me! I'm going to take a good look at what a nasty thing that bastard has done!"

Maybe it was because Li Chengjiu's shout was so loud that everyone who heard it surrounded him.

"Xiao Cheng?"

"What can Xiao Cheng do?"

The nearby crowd, including Captain Pei, gathered together.

Cheng Jin-Woo's face was displayed on the phone screen, and a line of large characters floated below him.

[...After Huang Dongshu and Cha Hae-yi, Cheng Xiaoyu, the tenth S-class hunter in Country H, is now...]

"what!"

Li Chengjiu's pupils trembled.

Liu Chen Construction, Chairman's Office.

Liu Chenhao exhaled quickly in front of the door.

"call."

click.

With all his courage, he opened the door smoothly, and when he looked up, he saw his father correcting the documents without looking up.

"come in."

Liu Minghan did not stop signing the document when he answered.

Liu Chenhao stood beside Liu Minghan.

After Liu Minghan looked at his son's face for a while, he continued to do his work.

'Father is still the same as before. '

In front of such a father, he might run away without being able to understand the words.

But not now.

"I have something to say to my father."

"Is it related to Seong Jin-Woo Hunter?"

"Yes."

Liu Minghan finally raised his head.

"Okay, so what happened in the end..."

at this time.

Liu Minghan's phone rang.

Ring ring ring ring one by one

"Wait a moment."

He raised his hand to stop Liu Chenhao, but Liu Minghan's eyes widened slightly after checking the content of the message.

'Is there a time when father is also surprised?'

Liu Chenhao tilted his head.

"...something I want you to see."

"what?"

Liu Minghan did not continue to speak, but quickly pressed the remote control to turn on the large TV hanging on the wall.

Then the voice of the news bulletin came out.

"Yes, it can be said that it has been confirmed that the hunter who was determined to be S-rank today is a second-awakened, E-rank hunter Mr. Cheng Xiaoyu who was originally active as a member of the association."

The uplifting voice of the reporter is a good illustration of the atmosphere at the scene.

Yoo Chen Ho, who was in his left ear and out of his right ear, was startled when he heard the word "Cheng Jin Woo".

'ah!'

Immediately afterwards, the content of the screen changed.

The person he knew well on the screen was staring straight ahead expressionlessly.

yes, Sir.

' Definitely him, he's definitely annoyed right now. '

I have been with my eldest brother for a while, and now I can read his thoughts just by looking at his expression.

No, compared to this, is he actually an S rank?

Although I know that my big brother is very powerful, but the degree of power is far beyond what I thought.

at the same time.

"Even if you have such a strong power, do you still have to go to the dungeon every day to practice hard?"

A sense of awe spread throughout the body.

When Cheng Jin-Woo's name was repeatedly mentioned on TV, Liu Chen-ho, who had been by his side all the time, had his heart beat faster.

beep one by one

As the TV was turned off, the eldest brother's face also disappeared from the screen.

Liu Chenhao showed an expression of unsatisfactory expression.

"Go on."

Liu Minghan asked him to finish what he hadn't finished speaking.
