Awakened as a Healer From a Previous Life

Chapter 70 Park Gyu-tae“How can we fail when we have 40 people? Forty people couldn’t just kill one?”

Park Gyu-tae also agreed with Chairman Choi Dae-ho’s words.

“That’s what I mean. Maybe… the Dungeon Management Bureau is looking after you? I came from the National Intelligence Service, but I’m a little nervous.”

“It must have happened because it just happened during the association’s work. Will you ever suspect that you are one with them?”

In fact, it wasn’t even a single one.

They and Chairman Choi Dae-ho want the same thing, so we just made room for them to get things done.

But it just failed.

35 outstanding mercenaries and 5 awakeners attacked, how could they all die without killing Tae-seong Yoon?

It was really incomprehensible.

‘You can’t do anything by force.’

Through this incident, Chairman Choi Dae-ho realized one thing.

In order to deal with Yoon Tae-seong, it is the fact that there is nothing that can be done by force.

Again, as initially thought, it seemed better to deal with him politically, socially, and legally.

Although it seems weaker than force, this power is surprisingly powerful in modern society. To the extent of overthrowing the dictatorship of the military and building a democratic society.

“I need to make the power of the association stronger.”

“Yes?”

Park Gyu-tae thought that now would be enough.

If you register as a hunter, you are automatically registered as a member of the association. So, the number of members is huge, and you can control and manage Hunters through licenses.

“You may think that this is great enough now, but the current association is what blows away after one wind in the political arena. Do you think that the association we are today was created because of you?”

Of course, Park Gyu-tae does not think that the current association was created because he did well.

I was lucky.

But life is a fortune-telling, it is said that ‘fortune is seven percent and skill is three percent’. Maybe luck is your ability?

“In politics, there are always opposing forces. Regardless of the party you belong to, the conservatives or the progressives. In order for the association to be firmly united, the power of such a political circle is necessary. There must also be strong corporate support. You, too, should make a lot of friendly hunters for the association. It is necessary to give and receive each other in this kind of work.”

If there is no benefit in politics, do you want to add power?

It never happens.

“I think the dungeon will become more and more important in the future. You can tell by looking at all the big companies now trying to make PMCs and secure magic crystals.”

This is not the case with Korean conglomerates. Numerous large overseas corporations are establishing PMCs and trying to absorb existing private military enterprises.

So the current mercenary market was booming.

“Wherever there is an advantage, the politicians always intervene.”

“okay.”

I thought it was luck, but it wasn’t. What I thought was luck was actually a result of intervention in the political arena.

If you guessed through the words of Chairman Choi Dae-ho, it would be the opposition of the current president.

“There is also a need to reorganize the market. For example, only companies that are affiliated with the association can use it. If politics and corporations intervene, you have to somehow make it on your side. Do you know what I mean?”

“Yes, I understand.”

Politicians also think for profit. In other words, you can make it on your side only if there is a trade of gain and loss.

“There is a presidential election next year.”

Why is the presidential election all of a sudden?

“In elections, associations can play a very important role. If someone on our side is elected… we can easily let Yoon Tae-seong go away.”

The power of politics is so great.

Even the slightest incident can be inflated and sent to prison for up to 10 years.

‘Presidential Election?’

What on earth is inside Choi Dae-ho’s head?

Park Gyu-tae had no idea about political interference, but the presidential election was something he had never imagined.

‘After all, playing in the big water is such…’

The reason Yoon Tae-seong was able to freely enter the Central Research Center was because he was close to the Dungeon Management Bureau, but his name was listed in the license for Mana Core.

Of course, I was also close with Dr. Choi So-hee.

However, the name was changed to ‘Dungeon Research Team’ as the Central Research Center moved to the Defense Research Center.

Since the National Defense Research Institute strictly controls access, it has become very difficult to visit and meet them.

As the policy changed, Yoon Tae-sung suffered a lot of losses.

The mercenary registration policy has also changed.

First of all, you must belong to the PMC, and you must report the PMC entering the dungeon to the Dungeon Management Office. Or work as a mercenary for the Dungeon Management Bureau.

In other words, the system of personally registering as a mercenary has disappeared.

Awoken who belong to the Dungeon Management Bureau are also classified as mercenaries, not hunters. Of course, if I received a Hunter license from the Association, I was a Hunter, but this is just a certificate.

The task force and the awakening team form a team and take charge of the dungeon raid. The special task force without awakening attacks the dungeon like the hunter.

Currently, there are a total of 12 teams with a special task force and awakening.

“You will be assigned to Team 13. Our bureau continues to recruit people, but that is not easy.”

Basically, the special task force belongs to the Ministry of National Defense. On the other hand, the Special Task Force teamed up with the Awoken were veterans from the Special Forces absorbed by the Management Bureau.

In other words, they were all mercenaries, not soldiers. It could be said that it was a PMC operated by the management office.

“There is one more Awoken, who will be assigned to you after four weeks of tactical training.”

When managing hunters at the Dungeon Management Bureau, they basically gave them a week of military training. However, as it moved to the association, the military training system was omitted from the conditions for issuing a hunter license.

Because the association doesn’t have the capacity to do that.

On the other hand, the Dungeon Management Bureau sent the Awoken to the dungeon after training them sufficiently.

“Someone you know. It’s Park Yi-hyun… It seems like the Awakening Association doesn’t like it quite a bit. So, it’s not funny what you’re doing either. I don’t know what’s different about a sheep.”

“All associations are like that. It would be nice if there were no strikes.”

“If that’s enough… even the politicians who support the association will stick out their tongues. The association will disappear. Anyway, I’ll have to wait 4 weeks, so take a good rest in the meantime. We tend to run the team pretty tight.”

“Is it difficult to access the Central Research Institute?”

“Probably so. Dr. Choi Sohee also poses a safety threat, so it seems that the National Defense Research Institute manages it very thoroughly. Well… it’s called security, but there must be a purpose to block contact in other countries. From the Ministry of Defense’s point of view, he’s a person of interest to you. If the government changes after next year’s presidential election, I don’t know after that.”

Perhaps Park Woo-jae should also step down from the position of director of the Dungeon Management Bureau. Maybe Yoon Tae-sung should be more careful.

Tae-Sung Yoon knows who will be elected in the presidential election. A strong principled/principalist.

However, the dungeon strategy at that time was quite confusing. So such a principled/principalist could be elected, and it was handled quite nicely.

However, the current dungeon attack, although I do not like the behavior of the association, is done quite systematically.

In other words, even Tae-Sung Yoon could not know the outcome of the election.

I never really thought about the election.

‘If it were Chairman Choi Dae-ho, would he be very interested in the presidential election? I’ll try to win candidates from the forces that support the association.’

If that happens, the thought of it is terrifying.

Tae-Sung Yoon Personally, there will be a lot of pressure, but the association will also try to control the Hunter more strongly with the political power on its back. After that, I will press the Dungeon Management Bureau from time to time.

What I was doing didn’t change.

I train in the warehouse, and when I get home, I train personally. Drink a mana potion and absorb mana into the core through the Celestial Demon Spirit.

Still, there are many concerns.

Park Gyu-tae, president of the Association.

Kyu-Sung Lee.

David Choi.

‘The association is really nothing. But Black Walk is not like that.’

What if the Hunter Association and Black Walk got together?

Just thinking about this is terrifying.

‘I mean, if you leave me alone, you’ll keep touching me.’

Whether it’s Kyu-tae Park, the president of the association, or Choi Dae-ho, the president of the association, the same goes for the Black Walks.

Even after being hit, I know it’s okay if I stay still and keep touching it.

The same goes for the third generation of Choi. You think you’re safe, so you probably did it this time.

‘How about Park Gyu-tae?’

Tae-Sung Yoon had neither public power nor political power. He didn’t have much money, and all he had was force.

So, I had no choice but to solve it by force.

However, you can’t go there blindly and cut off your head with a knife.

‘Isn’t it? These bastards think it’s impossible, so they’ll keep fighting.’

So, ignorantly and blindly visiting and showing your strength might be the correct answer.

‘Ah… well, I might die if I do this!’ It should make you think

As a sales manager at a small business, he was cut off without even realizing an executive life.

It was a life of really little to see, but Park Gyu-tae’s impression changed a lot while planning the Hunter Association.

I sat down with the president of a large corporation and talked about the future, and I met politicians I had never imagined before.

What I once studied English to improve my work skills is a big help now.

“Nice to meet you. Laos Wichenio.”

Laos Wichen gave Park Gyu-tae a business card.

Blackwalk

Scout Manager

He was the scout manager for Blackworks, an internationally active PMC.

Blackwork was so large that it could be said that it was a specialized military enterprise that was too large to be called a private military enterprise.

Talents with various jobs for operation are active, and Wichen, Laos, was one of them.

They usually recruit veterans of the Korean special forces.

In fact, he performed quite a variety of tasks other than the duties indicated on the business card.

For example, this time, secretly transporting the remaining members of the Shield overseas, or things like that.

“What happened to me at Black Walk?”

Park Kyu-Sung asked.

He was still unaware that Lee Kyu-sung and David Choi were Black Walk’s mercenaries.

How can Park Gyu-tae, the president of the association, know about a relationship that the two have never said before, and that the NIS cannot know?

I didn’t know anything except that he was the younger brother of a man named Lee Kyu-ho.

Actually, I was originally a sales manager, so I could say that I didn’t know anything about this world.

“What’s going to happen to the PMC’s Scout Manager? Of course he came to recruit talented people, didn’t he?”

“There are no mercenaries in our association?”

“Hey, you don’t seem to know the trend of the mercenary market these days, do you? As in Korea, many overseas PMCs recruit Awakened by any means. And it is very rare to find a country that systematically manages Awoken like this in Korea.”

Overseas, this is only the case in Germany. This is because they quickly accepted the Korean hunter registration discharge and created a specialized organization to manage dungeons.

In the United States alone, the Pentagon and the CIA are still at odds.

With the release of mana core weapons, the Ministry of Defense has a little more advantage, and the Ministry of Defense is also trying to recruit the Awakened.

This was also the case in many developed countries.

As they go to underdeveloped countries, they tend to have a strong dictatorship, so they rather attack the dungeons centered on the army, and designate the awakened as a special management target.

“This is the trend these days. Whether it’s the military, the PMC, or the intelligence service, large corporations are now looking for awakeners. The world is currently in a boom for PMC. It’s only natural for us to find and recruit the Awoken. And if you want to do something like this in Korea, wouldn’t it be quickest to work with the association?”

“Wow! Even so…”

How will that help the association? No, to be precise, what will be the benefit to Park Gyu-tae himself?
