âWe want to cooperate with the Awakener Management Bureau.â
â...â
âTo stop the apocalypse.â
Uijae narrowed his eyes, carefully studying Ivanâs face. Behind his glasses, Ivanâs eyes sparkled with sincerity. He seemed completely honest. But a small scoff came from beside him. Minggijeok, wearing a humorless expression, responded instead.
âWhat utter nonsense.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
â...â
âYouâve imprisoned hunters here. Not just civilians but hunters, and youâve used them as test subjects, and now youâre asking for cooperation? How far do you plan to go with this shamelessness? If Hunter Jeongbin were here, he wouldâve turned this place upside down.â
âAh? Ahaha... I see thereâs a misunderstanding.â
âAnd the drugs. Do you think we donât know about the drugs youâve been distributing among the hunters?â
âAh... Thereâs much to explain. First...â
Ivan glanced briefly at Song Joheon, who was still collapsed on the floor, before offering a faint smile.
âMost of the hunters here... they volunteered.â
âAgain with this nonsense. Should I just take care of him now?â
âI-Iâm telling the truth. Every single person here volunteered for the experiment because they wanted to raise their rank... Yes, at least the people in this facility did.â
