Chapter 254

‘They’re a lot crazier than I thought.’

It was understandable why the arrogant English noble was shaking in his boots and begged Choi Yeonseung to spare him. If he got caught by them, he would suffer a fate worse than death. These knights were even good at magic...

-C-Choi Yeonseung. Shouldn’t you report it immediately?

Whittaker quickly texted Choi Yeonseung.

The Knights of the Holy Temple was a disbanded order of Knights from the United States. Some executives of the group were considered so dangerous that huge bounties had been placed on them.

They had caused such an incident that it felt natural to call them terrorists!

-Now?

-......

At Choi Yeonseung’s short answer, Whittaker quickly regained focus. Come to think of it, this wasn’t the time nor the place to report them. American hunters and special forces couldn’t be dispatched to the distant British lands...

Most of all, Choi Yeonseung and the rest of the hunters currently had a lot of work to do, so it was unwise to clash with these knight fanatics.

-Come to think of it, I don’t think we need to report it. It’s the job of the US government, not a hunter’s.

Illeya marveled at Whittaker’s answer. “Your shamelessness has no limits.”

“He definitely doesn’t feel any shame. By the way... What are they doing here? I feel uncomfortable for some reason.”

Choi Yeonseung looked at the hunters of the Knights of the Holy Temple with a grim expression. He was going to sneak in while the constellation was distracted, find the location of the holy relic, and then get out. Now his calculations have been disrupted by the appearance of the knights.

The constellation probably wouldn’t be interested, but it was impossible to guess what these guys would do. These were the people who tried to launch the United State’s nuclear weapon...

“Hunter Choi Yeonseung.”

Surprisingly, it was a knight who spoke first. With a soft voice, he said, “I’m glad to meet you like this. Ever since I heard about you, I’ve had nothing but respect for you.”

“...Me?”

It wasn’t the first time Choi Yeonseung heard someone express their admiration for him, but it was the first time he thought of it as something not exactly positive. If anything, it was actually unpleasant!

‘Why do these nutjobs respect me?’

The hunter continued, “Of course, I have to respect you. How many A-grade hunters were fighting monsters right now? Once they reach A-grade, they all become stuck like they have oil in their stomachs. They always try to calculate everything and never come out to fight unless there’s something in it for them.”

The knight uttered these words in an utterly contemptuous tone.

It was true that hunters became less active as their rating increased. It was exactly what each country wanted.

On this note, Choi Yeonseung was quite an unusual case, since, even after he reached A-grade, he had always been active without taking any breaks. Moreover, Choi Yeonseung didn’t cooperate with any particular country, but moved flexibly as needed. There was also the recent big clash with the collector constellation.

The knights were bound to like all these things about him.

“You might not know it, but our people call you an ‘honorary Englishman’.”

“Wow... I really don’t like that.”

Choi Yeonseung wanted to curse because it didn’t really feel like a compliment.

The knight explained in a confused manner, “You misunderstand us! Only worthy people can get the title of ‘honorary Englishman’, even if they’re not British...”

“Hey! Don’t talk nonsense. This country has been in shambles for a long time, and yet you say stuff like that. Your passport is worth less than ten dollars!”

Whittaker blew up as he couldn’t listen to them anymore. No matter how terrifying of a leader Choi Yeonseung was, these knights’ nonsense was just too much.

The expressions of the knights stiffened as they looked at Whittaker.

“And he is?”

Another knight answered, “Whittaker Moneymaker. He’s a B-grade hunter from the Icarus clan. He takes pleasure in luxury and the nightlife. He’s recently lost a lot of money playing poker and owes 1.88 million dollars.”

.

“Is that so?”

“Really?”

Choi Yeonseung and Illeya stared at him in amazement , and Whittaker’s face turned bright red.

”I lost it to manage my personal connections!”

The knights ignored Whittaker’ words and warned him.

“Be careful, Moneymaker. We don’t tolerate insults. You...”

“I was going to say the same thing he did. Are you threatening a hunter of my clan?”

Choi Yeonseung’s presence suddenly became twice as intimidating. Tremendous power and pressure emanated from his body as he took full advantage of his peak-class status. This caused the knights to feel oppressed. It was hard to believe that Choi Yeonseung could control his opponents like this without using any magic.

“...I apologize. It was just a slip of the tongue.”

In the end, the knights were the ones who backed down.

Whittaker was astonished by the sight. ‘These lunatics actually know how to apologize?’

The hunters under the command of the knights had the same temperament as their leaders. They didn’t care if they died, and they weren’t the type to yield. Nevertheless, they apologized.

‘Is Choi Yeonseung’s name that great?? I swear I’m meeting the weirdest people. Really.’

It was rather amusing to hear them talking about honorary Englishmen, but seeing him say this, it seemed like they actually liked Choi Yeonseung.

...The problem was that their positive attitude towards Choi Yeonseung didn’t feel very good.

“Choi Yeonseung, let’s get out of here. Nothing good will come out of getting involved with these guys.”

Illeya agreed.

“It’s not a good look. Their eyes are murky and dirty.”

The hunters of the Knights of the Holy Temple didn’t know that the other hunters were talking about them, and proceeded to state their goals.

“We shall tell you about our objective because we trust you, Hunter Choi Yeonseung. We... We are here to assassinate the constellation.”

“...”

“...”

-Wow. They really are mad!

***

The idea of assassinating the constellation was such a crazy plan that everyone on Choi Yeonseung’s side, including him, were left speechless.

-Some constellation probably encouraged them to do it.

The goddess of sloth was the one who grasped the situation most soberly.

This would occasionally happen in the Abyss. The greatest hero among mortals would draw their sword to confront a constellation. Of course, it usually ended up badly, as no matter how powerful a mortal was, they were still a feeble being compared to a constellation.

Knowing that, why did mortals try to fight constellations? They usually did it because a constellation induced them to do so, either by tricking them or promising them something.

-There are countless constellations on Earth right now, and they always favor extreme fanatics like these guys…

‘That’s right. It makes sense.’

“Will you join us?”

“Uh... I have a prior engagement.”

The knights sighed with disappointment. They had seemed to really think that Choi Yeonseung would join them.

‘Are they actually insane?’

They had actually believed that an A-grade hunter, whom they had never spoken to before, would take part in their crazy plans. They were so crazy that they gave Choi Yeonseung the creeps.

“Then it can’t be helped. We’ll move quickly.”

Choi Yeonseung interjected, “Uh... If you don’t mind, can you tell me your plan?”

“Of course!”

The knights thought that Choi Yeonseung was interested and one of them spoke with a twinkle in his eyes, “This isn’t the only place where the knights are located. We’re going to tear apart all the traitors in the United Kingdom and then go straight to London.”

“...”

Edward, who was listening from the sidelines, was on the verge of wetting himself. It was the same with his family.

They had almost died in a terrible way.

Choi Yeonseung couldn’t help asking, “...To London?”

“Yes.”

“Why?”

“Um. Unfortunately, we can’t even tell you that. It has to remain a secret.”

“...”

He had to go to London, but these lunatics were also doing that...

‘Should I try to guide them so they can draw attention?’

“If you have no other questions, we’ll take our leave now. Hunter Choi Yeonseung, if you’re interested in our cause, please feel free to come to us. The doors of our knights are always open.”

“...Thank you for the offer.”

“Good luck then!”

The hunters of the knights departed in a majestic manner.

***

“Wouldn’t it be better to postpone your plan?”

“Is it really the right move to go to London right now?”

“If I hear your voice one more time, I’ll put you in the trunk.”

The group was now in the car and driving down the road. Edward’s limousine was luxurious and extravagant. It looked like Edward had bought it in order to show off the wealth he had accumulated. The moment Whittaker found an expensive wristwatch in the car, he picked it up and put it on his wrist.

Edward gave him a death stare, but he wasn’t in a position to complain. After meeting the hunters of the Knights of the Holy Temple, he finally understood how serious the situation was.

‘The United Kingdom might actually fall!’

It had been decades since the collector constellation had taken over, and presently, nobody felt uncomfortable about the United Kingdom being ruled by a constellation. The class system suddenly reappeared, but people adapted surprisingly easily. If the United Kingdom fell, what would become of the nobles who had been relying on the power of the constellation?

‘Should I run away? N-No. The knights will come after me. Ugh... Do I really have to cooperate with these American bastards?”

Grrr...

As they drove down the highway and approached London, the Abyss minions who were under the collector constellation appeared gradually. There was no way that a constellation would trust an army made up entirely of humans. Naturally, the constellation had sent his minions everywhere.

‘Is it a silver werewolf?’

The werewolves were slender and had beautiful silver furs. Such minions were suited to the taste of the collector constellation. Of course, similarly to the collector constellation, these werewolves didn’t have noble personalities. They were wild and fierce creatures.

-Human noble. What brings you here?

“I-I came to see Master!”

-Master is busy. You will have to wait a long time.

The werewolf spoke in a low voice. Their master was currently busy fighting the angel constellation. Even if the humans that the collector constellation cherished came to visit, there was no time for hospitality.

“It can’t wait!”

-Really? Then do as you wish. Enter.

The werewolf gestured for them to continue, and the group sighed with relief after passing through the checkpoint. They had passed one stage.

“...What is that??”

Whittaker pointed out the window.

A dragon of the Abyss, which was radiating evil energy, was falling in the sea after being attacked by angels and hunters.

‘The constellations are fighting among themselves!’

Choi Yeonseung intuitively realized what was going on. Based on its scale, it was clear that it was a battle between the household members of the constellations.

‘...Wait. It’s Han Sehui!’

Choi Yeonseung spotted his niece in the distance and was shocked. His niece was also fighting. Amelia was next to her, but it didn’t really matter.

-Adaquaniel, is there any way to lend them support in that fight? It’s important.

-It’s important? Um...

Despite having an important task at hand, Adaquaniel didn’t turn down Choi Yeonseung’s request.

She pondered on it and gave him a reply

-It’s dangerous for us to get involved directly. I’ll ask Master?to support them, although I don’t know if she’ll listen. I’m sorry. It requires a lot of strength...

Adaquaniel was worried.

There was absolutely no reason for a constellation to give blessings or buffs to household members of other constellations. That was why she apologized to Choi Yeonseung before contacting her master.

-Please ask her.

-I understand. Wait a minute...

Adaquaniel closed her eyes and sent a message to her master. The answer came back one second later. The reply came quicker than expected, and it turned out to be a positive answer, which was why Adaquaniel spoke in a happy voice.

-She said she’ll do it!

“Thank you!”

Choi Yeonseung was unusually happy and held Adaquaniel’s hands tightly.

Adaquaniel didn’t avoid it. She held his hands back and shook them up and down.

-Uh... Successor. I think it’s better to let go...

The goddess of sloth sounded a bit anxious.

Given how fast the goddess of sloth reacted, it seemed like the goddess of balance had been watching the whole time...??
