Return of the Sword God-Rank Civil Servant novel Chapter 199

Lee Won-an, the administrative officer, was enjoying his commute to work these days.

“Yesterday, Officer An Su-ho cleared three 1-star gates in a single day.”

“Wow, again?”

The reason he was so happy was simple.

It was because of Su-ho.

It was only natural for him to feel joy.

After all, Su-ho didn’t just clear one or two gates—he cleared three 1-star gates in a single day!

Could this be considered possible from a logical standpoint?

No, as far as Lee knew, there had never been a hunter with such a record.

‘At this rate, we can call him a one-man army...!’

But Su-ho made it happen.

And to top it off, Su-ho was his superior.

What’s more, Lee and his colleagues were safely just being trained while Su-ho handled all the high-level tasks, including performance evaluations.

‘Ah, An Su-ho! He is my light and my salt!’

For such a figure, it wasn’t just Lee Won-an, but everyone in the exploration team who worshipped him like a god.

No, not just worshipped—became fanatics.

Anyone who dared to criticize him would be met with a resolution to break their finger in return!

But then, Lee Won-an received unexpected news.

“What? What did you say?”

It started with a call from Team Leader Oh Bong-ju of Special Team 1.

Currently, Team Leader Oh Bong-ju was acting in the roles of both the Gate Management Department head and the Gate Bureau head.

Where were the heads of the Detection Department and the Management ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) Department?

They were all swept away by the redevelopment gate and lost their heads.

Even the team leaders of the General Management Team in the Management Department were executed.

Thus, the only two people left to manage the Gate Bureau were Team Leader Oh Bong-ju of Special Team 1 and Team Leader Jeong Cheol-min of Special Team 2, with Oh Bong-ju handling all the duties.

Oh Bong-ju said:

– Get in here. The representatives from Hexagon and Prime are here! And why is Team Leader 2 not responding?!

“Ah, I’ll get in touch and head over right now!”

It was an emergency.

Why were representatives from Hexagon and Prime suddenly at the Gate Bureau?!

Lee Won-an quickly tried to contact Su-ho.

But...

– The phone could not be connected, and after the beeping, it went to voicemail...

The phone wouldn’t connect.

He guessed that Su-ho was in the middle of a gate raid.

“Ugh... What should I do?”

This was bad.

He had heard that Team Leader 2 was also going with Team Leader Jo for gate raids lately.

‘At least I have to go.’

Lee Won-an’s anxiety grew.

***

[ Gate cleared. ]

[ The MVP of the gate raid is ‘An Su-ho’. ]

[ Additional experience points granted for MVP selection. ]

[ Bonus stat awarded due to MVP selection. ]

[ Level up achieved. ]

[ All stats increased by 1. ]

[ One bonus stat gained. ]

After defeating the boss monster, a flood of notifications appeared before Su-ho.

He quickly allocated his bonus stats before stepping out of the gate.

However, his phone was full of missed calls.

‘What is this?’

They were all from Lee Won-an.

Su-ho was about to call him back when he noticed a message from Lee. His brow furrowed.

‘Hexagon and Prime sent representatives?’

Since Su-ho had not answered, Lee had left a message instead.
