"You’ve arrived at the gate you chose?"
Soon after, they reached the gate they had decided to raid. It wasn’t long before a familiar car appeared, roaring towards them.
It was Jo Jin-hwi’s yellow Ferrari.
Jo Jin-hwi got out of the car and waved his hand to greet them.
“Yo! An Pro-nim!” he shouted.
His expression was bright. But as Su-ho got closer, he noticed that despite the cheerful face, his dark circles were quite heavy.
Su-ho immediately cast Heal and Recovery on him as he spoke.
“Your dark circles are pretty intense. Did you pull an all-nighter?”
“Wow, the healing from the Sword God...! Is it really okay to use this so freely?”
“It's just a little bit of mana.”
“Heh, in that case... yeah, I’ve been pulling an all-nighter. I’ve been really busy with the special article lately.”
“A special article? Oh!”
“What, did you forget about it?”
“Ah, no way.”
In truth, he had momentarily forgotten. With the five days in prison and everything else on his mind, Su-ho had briefly lost track of what he had asked Jo Jin-hwi to do.
Su-ho chuckled and asked, “So, is everything ready?”
“Yeah, just like I said last time. I’ve been searching for retired government hunters who didn’t receive proper compensation and I’ve managed to get interviews with some who are struggling in hospitals. I got approval from the desk too.”
The request Su-ho had made to Jo Jin-hwi was about the gate rewards for government hunters.
Currently, the government was taking all the loot obtained by government hunters in gates for themselves.
And that was a problem.
With salaries already low compared to regular guilds, taking the loot too meant that hunters were always running short of funds, preventing them from improving their gear, which led to accidents in the gates.
This, in turn, resulted in chronic manpower shortages.
Although the system would change eventually, Su-ho wanted to change it as soon as possible.
‘That way, the Daheonhyup will get stronger.’
The power of a group ultimately comes from its strong individuals.
The reason why the Daheonhyup was weak both nationally and internationally was because its leaders and most of its members were either civilians or powerless hunters.
What could they possibly relate to in this industry?
That’s why Su-ho had planned to overhaul this system from the ground up.
And the first step was about the gate rewards.
