There are items . Two Knight Brigade necklaces and five rings . Ive already extracted the otherworld energy .

As soon as Sung Joon absorbed the mana from the bodies, Rishubalt checked how many items were on them . With his help, Sung Joon rapidly collected the two necklaces and five rings .

How are you going to deal with the bodies? Rishubalt asked .

Contrary to the Awakening Dungeon, this was Earth, not the other world . Plus, they were human, not monster corpses, so they didnt vanish .

If he left five corpses in the park, it would become troublesome for him later, even though he was an SS-rank Hunter .

I have someone whos good at things like this, Sung Joon said, and raised his phone . And dialed someones number .

Mr . Kang Sung Joon? Its been a long time since you last called .

The receiver was Jung Chul . It was daybreak, but it seemed like he was already awake as he sounded extremely energetic .

I have something that I need your help to deal with, Mr . Park Jung Chul .

If I can, Ill take care of it, Jung Chul replied . Sung Joon explained the situation simply, but withheld information regarding the Empires movement across dimensions .

Unknown attackers I understand . Ill send someone over for now .

Jung Chul didnt ask any questions . He was well aware of how tough it would be to deal with the situation if he was too curious .

Ten minutes hadnt even passed before two black sedans arrived . And Jung Chul, as well as six burly men exited from those cars . The six men began to clean up the corpses, as well as any traces of the battle . They were garbed in black, wearing hats and masks .

Are you hurt anywhere?

Do you really think Id get hurt?

Jung Chul asked, and Sung Joon replied back sarcastically . Jung Chul just smiled .

In any case, its strange . To think youd use Mage Hunters to clean up

Its a method often used by the criminal underworld . Theres nothing better than a Hunters magic .

Because a Hunters magic was quite diverse, it could be applied in various situations .

Its quite early Please leave this to us, and go rest . Ill report back to you in the morning .

Jung Chul said, and Sung Joon nodded his head . He was quite exhausted as he had solo cleared a S-rank dungeon, as well as being ambushed right after .

Though he could replenish his stamina and mana through Absorption, hed accumulated quite a lot of mental fatigue .

Thank you .

Its nothing . Just make sure you pay me later .

Hahaha . I understand .

Sung Joon smiled in response to Jung Chuls reply . He began walking towards his parked Hunter sedan .

Theres no one following you, Rishubalt reported after scouting the area . Sung Joon didnt sense any strange movements from his Presence Detection either .

I guess I can go home now .

Sung Joon drove his car back to his studio apartment . It was dawn, so there werent a lot of cars on the road and he arrived quickly . He, who had finished parking and returned home, took out the two necklaces, as well as the five rings hed acquired from the recent battle .

He didnt know why, but the knights hadnt been equipped with any other items besides the rings and the necklaces .

What about the otherworld energy?

I had already extracted the otherworld energy when I confirmed that they were items .

Good . Combine them .

Sung Joon took off the necklace and the ring he had equipped . As soon as Rishubalt gathered his mana, the rings and necklaces placed on the table gleamed and resonated .

As soon as the fusion was complete, the necklace and the ring were engraved with the number 355 . Sung Joon took out his measuring tool and activated the appraisal feature .

[Knight Brigades Ring +8]

B+ rank .

Verifying Aura Persistence effect .

[Knight Brigades Necklace +3]

rank

Verifying Mana Recovery effect .

The items rank went up .

The items rank went up .

The necklaces rank didnt change, but once the ring was upgraded to +8, it went up to the B+ rank . The rings Aura Persistence effect shouldve improved considerably as well .

It seemed as though the Mana Recovery effect of the Knight Brigades Necklace had become more effective as well . As soon as he equipped it again, he felt his mana quickly being replenished .

The Mana Recovery effect has improved considerably . Would you like to try out the Aura Persistence effect as well? Rishubalt asked . Sung Joon wordlessly drew his sword and activated his aura . The aura danced upon his blade; Rishubalt examined it closely and then opened his mouth .

It seems like the Aura Persistence effect has improved as well . You shouldnt have to worry about maintaining your aura during a long battle anymore . Congratulations, my lord!

Sung Joon deactivated his aura and turned his sword into a ring again . Roels transform ability had been helpful in a lot of ways .

So thats it with the items Shall we start with the main topic?

Sung Joon grabbed a cold drink from his fridge and spoke while sitting on the sofa . Rishubalt moved in front of Sung Joon .

Its safe to say that the Knight Brigade knows where I live, considering that they attacked me, right?

Because I dont know what the current Knight Brigade report system is like, I dont know how much they relayed . However, I believe they havent figured out the location of your studio apartment yet .

Rishubalt accessed the situation calmly . Sung Joon nodded his head in agreement and listened .

But I recommend that you move to another residence that is equipped with the most up to date security equipment .

The security in his studio apartment wasnt very good, and there was a chance that innocent people could get caught in the crossfire . Because of his memories as Roukel, he wasnt the type to worry about that, but he had to be somewhat concerned about it in todays society .

Yeah, I should move to a place with a large garden .

While youre at it, why dont you create a guild as well? If you pay them a proper wage, then Park Jang Hoon and Yoo Shin Chul will definitely follow you . Theres also a high chance that Choi Eun Joo will join you as well .

Shin Chul and Jang Hoon thought favorably of Sung Joon . If he paid them enough and gave them enough freedom, they would follow his orders . However, contrary to what Rishubalt thought, Sung Joon wasnt so sure about Eun Joo .

You also have to think about your fathers safety . Though theyve increased the security in the hospital, if the main force of the Knight Brigade attacks, hell be in danger . Instead, it would be better to create a safe house for him and then placing him there where he can be both treated and protected at the same time .

He brought up some good points .

You need a fortress thats heavily defended such that you wont have to worry even if they find out where you live .

The price of houses in Seoul is quite expensive .

I know that the price of housing wont be a problem for you, my lord .

Yeah, youre right .

Sung Joon smiled and replied . By selling the magic stones from the S-rank dungeon, he could acquire tens of millions; though he hadnt been able to do so due to the ambush . If sold, he would have $1 . 5 billion .

Sung Joon smiled and replied . By selling the magic stones from the S-rank dungeon, he could acquire tens of millions; though he hadnt been able to do so due to the ambush . If sold, he would have $1 . 5 billion .

Ok, thats that, but the dungeon I cleared was supposed to be a mid tier S-rank dungeon It seems like itd be more effective to bring a few people to clear an S-rank dungeon than to solo it, so I should make a temporary dungeon assault team .

I agree .

Rishubalt nodded his head .

For now, lets go to sleep and go to the Dungeon Bureau in the morning .

Sung Joon showered and went into his bed to sleep . And as soon as morning came, Sung Joon went to the Dungeon Bureau to sell his magic stones .

Han So Eun, Sung Joons exclusive Dungeon Bureau clerk, had already been contacted beforehand and was waiting for him .

Ive come to sell my magic stones .

Were all ready for you . Ill calculate the payment immediately .

So Eun smiled and replied . The workers took the magic stones, and she went through the normal procedures . Because they had already prepared for his arrival, it didnt take very long .

It comes out to $40 million, but adding in your 30% additional reward, it comes out to a total of $52 million . Shall I deposit it into your account immediately?

Please do .

So Eun immediately took care of it . She skipped the unnecessary procedures, perhaps because Sung Joon was an SS-rank Hunter . It didnt take long before Sung Joon checked to see that the sum had indeed been deposited into his account .

Thank you .

Yes . Take care .

After Sung Joon had said his farewells to So Eun, he left the Dungeon Bureau and made his way to the parking lot . He got into the drivers seat and turned on the car, but then, heard a bell sound .

Jung Chul was calling him . As soon as Sung Joon checked the caller, he picked up the phone .

Yes . This is Kang Sung Joon .

Weve taken care of everything . Weve hacked the nearby CCTVs and weve cleaned up the scene . Of course, weve taken care of the bodies as well, Jung Chul said . He was reliable as he was the type of person to get things done quickly . Sung Joon opened his mouth with a satisfied expression .

Good work . Ill pay you immediately .

Thank you . Please contact me whenever you need me .

Ah! Now that you mention it, may I make one more request?

Please go ahead .

Im thinking of buying a mansion . Id like it be a mansion thats in an easily defensible location in case of an attack . If its possible, Id like it to be in Seoul as well, Sung Joon said . He was planning on building a fortress in preparation for an attack from the Knight Brigade .

Please go ahead .

Ill do that for you for free . It wont take long, Jung Chul said in a voice overflowing with confidence . There were a few S-rank Hunters who lived in fortress-like mansions in case of a Raid . Because of that, Jung Chul knew about a few spots that matched Sung Joons description .

Ill contact you again later .

The next day, Sung Joon heard a bell sound while he was resting .

This is Park Jung Chul .

Youre faster than I expected .

Sung Joon picked up the phone .

Ive found a good mansion for you . Itll cost more if you want to remodel it, but it costs $10 million to buy it .

Id like to see it first .

I havent had to do much to do in the auction house recently, so Ill take you there myself, Jung Chul said . He thought itd be helpful in maintaining his close relationship with Sung Joon if he were to go himself .

Are you free tomorrow?

Yes . I feel like around 1 oclock in the afternoon would be alright .

I understand . Ill come by then .

Then Ill see you tomorrow .

Ill come to pick you up .

Time passed by, and it was now 1 oclock in the afternoon the next day . Jung Chul came by with a luxurious sedan and Sung Joon got in . The mansion that Jung Chul spoke of wasnt very far away .

Here it is . There arent any high buildings around it, and its in a very defensible location . Above all, theres a guard post of the Armed Policemen ten minutes away . If theres a problem, you can get reinforcements immediately, Jung Chul explained . The structure of the house made it seem easy to defend to Sung Joon as well .

If we fortify it properly, I feel like it can become a fortress .

Rishubalt had the same idea . Sung Joon nodded his head with a satisfied expression and opened his mouth .

Ill buy it . $10 million, right?

Sung Joon much too easily decided to buy the mansion for $10 million . Now that hed become an SS-rank Hunter, $10 million wasnt much to him .
