My Range is One Million

Chapter 189: The Fisher and the Fish 2

#1

The Japanese media were talking all about the monster attack and unexpectedly, they were starting to do something about the problem. It had already been a few years since the gate incident but everything was turning out great.

Just as he said, the gate had turned completely into concrete but was surprisingly still being borrowed by many other countries. Wherever it led to there was a special concrete that weighed a ton.

Of course the location was never scheduled and where the gate led was always a mystery. But, after the incident they fixed that so every can set a location in advance for it to work correctly.

But, even with that, after all the work was finished, Dongchul seemed to be unsatisfied. However, Jaehwang obviously didn’t care that much. It was mostly because Jaehwang had a raid scheduled at a very unexpected foreign country.

“China?”

“Yes, it’s a very urgent request.”

There was a very deadly monster on the loose in China. Jaehwang was requested to immediately go to China to help get rid of the threat.

“It’s an eighth tier black cyclops monster. It also has three seventh tier baby monsters along with it.”

“If it’s just an eighth tier monster then shouldn’t there be enough hunters in China already to handle it?”

A member of the management team asked. There were lots of hunters in China. However, the lead manager shook her head and denied it.

“Although they have a lot of hunters this monster in particular is very high ranked and their hunters can’t handle this situation. Usually when a monster like this showed up they would have to get 400 hunters from there country to be able to handle it but the black cyclob monster and the other monsters are just too much for them to handle.”

“There’s no one who can maintain a range among the hunters in China?”

“No. that’s why this is so urgent. And they have no data on the black cyclob monster and its babies so that makes things even more difficult.”

“Hm, I thought they could gather information easily there?”

The monster research team member said. Every time you do research on a monster there was a lot of information to find on them.

“Yes. however, the problem is that so many monsters at once is a deadly situation. The biggest problem is that the monster have broken out of their habitat. After two days then they expected to return.”

“That’s why they need someone to help hunt them.”

Needing to gather 400 people to hunt a monster on a raid was a deadly situation. Of course rather they took a crowd or one capable person it was still going to be difficult but if anyone could do it then it was Jaehwang.

“This is a serious situation, don’t you think it’s a little weird they requested for him to come? But, If Jaehwang agrees to it then...”

Jaehwang’s guard team said.

“Haha. I think that possibility is rare.”

“Hmm.”

The guard team leader said.

“Are they willing to accept our terms if we agree to this?”

Rumi asked.

“They are. I already told them everything and they were willing to agree. If we need help with a raid here on our end then they’ll help us.”

“This is the information from the union?”

After the generation mashup China created a union and recruited American employees. It couldn’t have been such a big territory.

“Of course.”

“Don’t they need material for during the raid?”

“There’s no way to authenticate it so that’s a burden on China’s side.”

“How much will the soldiers get for this raid and how long is it going to take?”

“I guess the time really just depends on how fast Jaehwang can hunt the monster. However, the preparation for the raid will take up to three days. They have offered a lot in pay.”

“Alright, sounds good enough.”

The management team captain said in reply to Rumi. He then looked over to Jaehwang and asked,

“Jaehwang, what do you think of all this?”

Jaehwang was sitting there with his arms crossed looking at the screen of the information on the black cyclob monster. He then tilted his head and asked,

“If it’s going to take three days then won’t the monster already attack before we even get there?”

“Huh? Ah! There is a missile attacked they have planned to hold it off until we get there. Of course there’s only so much a missle can do the keep an eighth tier monster away but that’s just to hold it off until the help comes. So far they’ve been doing everything they can to keep it away even before they scheduled for help.”

“Hm...”

Jaehwang said as he started to think. Everyone in the room waited to hear what he had to say. It was the first time he would do such an urgent raid in a foreign country.

After closing his eyes for a little he opened them and spoke to Rumi.

“Can you prepare the helicopter for tomorrow morning?”

“Tomorrow morning?”

Rumi asked in a confused tone.

“That is possible but don’t you think that’s a little fast? You don’t want to take the few days to prepare?”

Rumi asked.

Jaehwang was ready to go to China and start the raid tomorrow.

“The people there don’t have much information on me so we should provide them with more data in time for your arrival tomorrow. Instead of trying to explain everything to them, let’s just show them.”

-A kid used to live in this mountain district a long time ago. The kid lives in a tree with his parents but on day the mother went out to buy rice cakes for them.

“Where is that sound coming from?”

-It turned out to be a foolish decision. Anyway, the mother returned and they ate the food but the kid then started to choke. He couldn’t breath but he was lucky enough to survive after the mother quickly took him to get help. After that he could never eat a rice cake again.

“Sounds like he had PTSD after that.”

“Yea. I’ve been worried about that kid since that day.

“Because he wouldn’t eat rice cakes anymore?”

-Yes. Rice cakes used be his favorite before that happened. There was nothing that he liked more, everything about them were ruined for him that day.

It’s such a shame.

“Is there anything he likes besides rice cakes?”

“No, that’s all he really liked.”

-Anyway, we’re going to find that kid on the mountains. Although I don’t think we’ll be able to, we’re going to give it a shot and try our best.

“What if we run into bears or tigers? Are we going to just give up there?”

-Of course not. We’ll be sure to be prepared for things like that.

-But I just hope that he’ll be able to enjoy rice cakes peacefully again. And hopefully we’ll be able to find him. I’m not completely sure if he’s even still around here or not.

“What about the mother? Would she know where he is?”

-I don’t know. I haven’t had a chance to ask her.

“Try asking her.”

-That might not be a good idea. She’s not too friendly with strangers.

“This is just like a story from a comic.”

-The kid should be really good with magic. He’s been learning since he was very young.

“Of course, his skills had been passed down for generations.”

-60 years has already passed...

“Wait, what’s the point in all this?”

-The conclusion I came to is that maybe that boy’s mother didn’t buy rice cakes that day and he didn’t choke on rice cakes...”

“So... What are you saying?”

-Isn’t it strange? He would’ve most likely died choking on a rice cake considering they were in a remote area so getting him to help in time was basically impossible. It just doesn’t make much sense to me.

“You think they’re hiding something?”

-I just have a bad feeling about the whole situation.”

“In conclusion, it’s just a chaos theory?”

-Yea. There’s something off about the logic in that story.

-Also, I heard about this guy who is quite talented and powerful with arrows. Do you know anything about him?

“No, I haven’t heard of anything.”

-We have to find him. He can use magical arrows, he has a power that seems to not be available to anyone else. I heard that his power is inherited by his family from generations of powerful hunters.

He was clearly talking about Jaehwang, one of the most powerful hunters of his generation.

“Hm. so, do you think we can gain his power if we could capture him?

-Even I’m not sure if it’s possible to catch him. I’ve actually seen him in action before but only one time. He is very powerful.

“I see. So he could be a challenge.”

“Maybe there’s a spell that can do just what we need.”

-You think so?

“There should be one that can reach up to a distance.”

-Ow! My blood pressure!

“What blood pressure? You don’t even have a human body.”

Baekren asked. He was sitting on a chair on the highest floor of the building that he was in and reading a comic. In the distance he could see lots of trucks on the street and people walking on the sidewalk.

-If the spell could reach that far then wouldn’t that be perfect.

“Yea. That would be great.”

Baekren said a bit anxiously.

-Hey, don’t worry about anything. You can do this.

“Thanks.”

Baekren said with a smile.
