My Range is One Million

Chapter 58: Showdown

 

He tidied up around the room and then heard a ring from a phone from out of his pocket.

-Hello?

-Hi, how are you? Are you having a good time?

There was a gloomy voice coming from the other side of the phone.

-Yes, Mr. Kim Surang. Everything’s great.

Joonghwi said in an aloof voice.

-…I’m surprised, I didn’t know it would be fun. How is Justin point?

It was base 716’s Kim Surang. He was the only one helping them in the base so he had to be polite with him. H was the one who found Jaehwang when he still had a few disadvantages.

-Hey! We’ve traveled safely.

-That’s great. What do you think of that? Do you have any connection that I don’t know about. In Justin point…?

-Tell me.

He was very busy but he didn’t want to talk about Jaehwang with just anyone. He didn’t have anything to brag about.

-Haha, I’m a little sad. I seem to not have any luck. That and there’s so much work to do.

-Really? Like what?…

Joonghwi then tilted his head.

-The boss and the assistant is in the office. Wow… I approached them and the boss refused which was really weird. That idiot started to cry… he’s so pathetic. Did you know about it?

-I didn’t hear anything about it sadly.

-Really? I thought you were calling because you were directly called by the military court… but you have lost of connections anyway so I thought you would be okay… Because of all those things at the base had been turned inside and out.

-Is the boss okay?

-He’s a little sad, I wanted to call him but he moved far away. Luckily, he was easy to find so everything seems fine, for now.

Joonghwi then thought of Jaehwang’s support. He then understood why something like that had happened. The almost bored themselves to death on the bus, those who didn’t talk to each other talked and every time something would happen, something fishy would happen to the boss at the base as well.

The most common thing was the dissemination that was pocketed from the start and the clans going into the gate were regularly receiving bribes.

Joonghwi asked himself why would they let something like that happen even if they knew about Jahewang’s relations with GwanJae. He then finally understood why.

He felt shivers down his spine. They had installed a direct call speaker in the direction of the person in the far away summit.

Luckily he thought to not mention it to SuRang.

-Anyway, I’m doing well. Let’s have a drink the next time we meet up in person.

-That sounds good, I’ll look forward to that.

“Woah.. It’s gigantic.”

“Wow…there’s so many people”

The members of platoon 8 went to the power supply area in Justin point to train.

“The number of exclusive and expensive hunter training hunter training equipment here was around 30 to 50 thousand. They have the equipment for the basic skills training ready for rent and of course, here in the Alousu, even the natural environment is fit for training.”

“Wow…”

There was a female soldier sitting behind the counter politely explaining everything to them. The 50 thousand scale training equipment was something that they would never guess.

“Okay. Now that I’ve told you about each of them, let’s take a look.”

Joonghwi followed behind the platoon members and thought that maybe they could be set free from their mission in a few days.

“Jaehwang, do you want to come with me?..”

“Sure?”

While the other platoon members split up going to different places, Jaehwang and Joonghwi looked around together. There were a lot of people there so Jaehwang put on a red scarf to hide his mouth and nose before he put on his hood.

“Hey… You can be comfortable here.”

The training center was very big and there were lots of hunters training and among them were female hunters that showed off their curvy figure as they sparred with each other. Joonghwi’s gaze was almost the same as all the other male hunters there.

“What are you going to do?”

Jaehwang wasn’t interested in any of that and only looked around at the equipment.

Jaehwang was most interested in a the set of the personal training equipment center. It had a fee of 10,000 dollars per month but it had everything someone would need along with its offered private spaces. It was really expensive and there had to be something else that had been reserved.

He then opened the personal training pamphlet.

Swoosh… Pang….

“Yes! Another ten points!”

There was another hunter who was surrounded by cheers on the side of the training center. The place was quiet, making it draw the attention of others but they just continued to train and talk with each other.

“DaeHyeon.”

Jaehwang checked the mark that was put on each of their shoulders. The Daehyeon clan were always at the top or second of the strongest clans in their country. The everlasting history and their high ranked hunters expanded them to foreign countries even though their expeditions were set on the places that bored them.

They were using long-distance arrows in the shooting range. They sat and watched them shoot it, the target was about 200 meters away and it was so fast that it looked as if it disappeared and reappeared on the target. They took a shot as if it was a monster who was trying to run away, three arrows hit the board at a high speed.

Swoosh…Pang…

Swoosh… Pang…

The arrows that were used in the government service were shot into the target. The target shook due to the speed and no targets were missed. After the arrows had been taken out, they checked the monitor and found out that it was shot by a female hunter. She was wearing a black full face helmet so her face couldn’t be seen.

“Wow, her shooting skills look amazing.”

He was a little surprised. Then a guy with a very noticeable tattoo walked next to her.

“You’re interrupting me, Dugeol.”

“Oh, I’m sorry… I just wanted to speak with you.”

“Whew…”

She then turned her focus back to the monitor after that exchange.

“Do you want to try it, Jaehwang? Isn’t this your specialty?”

Joonghwi asked Jaehwang. He just wanted to watch and see how good he was because he felt like his training time were being wasted anyway. He had already seen the basics of his strong skills and felt no need to prove himself. Jaehwang didn’t answer back to his question.

“Huh?”

Joonghwi then looked at Jaehwang’s face. His face was hidden pretty well but he could still see his eyes and it had a pretty cold look on them. He had the same cold look in his eyes but his when they were out hunting monsters and now, he a little seemed angry.

“You wanna try it, don’t you?”

“Uh… sure.”

Jaehwang went over to the counter and got a cover suit used for training along with three arrows. He also got a military utility belt and prepared himself for practice shooting. He pulled back the string to check its tension and shot three arrows for a pre-practice run. He then pressed the training start button and began to shoot.

Swoosh…Tang…

Swoosh…Tang…

They weren’t so fast but they all hit the target. He pulled it back and it looked natural as if the strings themselves were bending by his will. He kept on shooting.

Swoosh… Pang…

They all continued to hit their mark with great precision.

‘You have a total score of 498/500″

It was almost a perfect score.

“Amazing…”

Joonghwi then started to clap. He had the abilities of a super human. Even though he was a hunter, he knew how to use all kinds of weapons and of course, his aiming skills were also on the same level. For someone like Joonghwi who had lots of experience, all he could see was just pure arrow shooting skills when he saw him. He knew that he operates on a different level.

The same tattooed guy named Dugeol then walked over to Jaehwang.

“Woah… Your arrow shooting skills are really good.”

“…”

He was being friendly but Jaehwang ignored him and took his training equipment back to the counter.

“Ugh.. that idiot…”

Dugeol was a hunter of the Daehyeon clan and he clearly didn’t have too much of a good attitude. He wore a jacket with the Daehyeon clan emblem and showed it off with great pride. As bad as he his, he really did think that the guy who ignored him was good at shooting arrows.

He always showed only good skill but he seemed to be a little rude.

“He’s good at shooting arrows but… his attitude doesn’t seem so good. That’s unfortunate…”

He pinched at Jaehwang’s service duty term. He didn’t know that he was affiliated to another big clan. His eyes looked disappointed but he had a mocking smile on his face. He could actually hear everything Jaehwang was saying as he was close by. He then put up an unpleasant expression and approached Joonghwi.

“Hey!”

He shouted.. Joonghwi wasn’t necessarily a high ranked hunter but he didn’t care about that and he never intended to follow Jaehwang all the time to just protect him. He had a judging expression on his face but he knew for a fact that he didn’t need to protect him.

He was a level four ranked hunter, he wasn’t sure if he could put up a fight with him. Dugeol was at rank two and even though he was ranked higher, he was confident that Jaehwang could still defend himself against him. He was a tall person to deal with but his height was similar to Jaehwang’s. He was then about to become 21 years old and he grew up to 186 centimeters.

“Ha… I can see him now.”

He couldn’t hear what he was saying but he shook his head.

“You seem good at shooting arrows, wanna have a bet against us?”

Jaehwang looked at Joonghwi after he heard those words. He didn’t look like he was going to avoid a fight and Joonghwi just slightly shook his head. Unfortunately betting money was prohibited. He then wondered what they could use for a bet.

It wasn’t being recommended but there was a possibility that they might try it.

Joonghwi shook his head and so Jaehwang turned to Dugeol and shook his head. He then talked with a few people and then whispered something to the girl in the full face mask.

It was obvious that she didn’t care and the more he continued to talk, the more interested she became.

“The showdown will be over there with our rising star.”

He said and then took a 5 centimeter clear gem from out of his pocket.

“I have this. What are you going to bet?”

He gave him something he received from a fourth tier monster he hunted. It was an item worth about $2,000 dollars.

It wasn’t easy to get so many other hunters didn’t have it. He decided that he could enter it into the bet. He then took a step closer to Jaehwang and whispered something in his ear.

“You don’t have any money? You idiot.”

He was obviously trying to provoke him, however, Jaehwang was completely calm and raised his right hand and there appeared a magical-looking white gem. He wanted to give something bigger and better than what Dugeol betted but that was all he had.

“Something from fifth tier…”

Dugeol was surprised about what Jaehwang held in his hand. A gem from a fifth tier would be an item worth three million dollars. He made a quick check over the price of the item and Jaehwang then threw it up and then placed it on the table.

“Isn’t your bettings looking a little small?”

Showdown, The end.
