Chapter 526

The government had uprooted and eliminated various drug organizations and investigated hunters on a large scale, punishing anyone that had anything to do with the the Expert of Twisted Hallucinations.

However, contrary to expectations, the campaign backfired. Even though many drug gangs disappeared and fewer drugs were on the market, consumers didn’t stop searching for drugs.

The household members of the hallucination constellation took advantage of that shortage and circulated all kinds of evil drugs made by their master, which ultimately increased the power of the constellation.

It was the same with the hunters who had made a contract with the Expert of Twisted Hallucinations. Besides, hunters who served evil god constellations would cause various disturbances and enormous damage when backed into a corner.

As such, it was quite difficult to diminish the power of the evil god constellations. After all, their power was bound to humans’ desires, and trying to suppress those desires without targeting the root problem was bound to backfire.

So driving out the Greedy Owner of the Treasure House?

‘Is that even possible?’ Choi Yeonseung was puzzled, and the goddess of sloth seemed to have the same reaction.

-Do you think that can be achieved with the power of humans?

-I’m sure it’s not impossible, but... As you know, it’s quite difficult to impose restrictions on constellations. I think this whole thing will fizzle out.

[The ‘Chef of Endless Gluttony’ wonders if the ‘Greedy Owner of the Treasure House’ really was behind this incident.]

-No. Maybe a human made up an excuse.

[The ‘Chef of Endless Gluttony’ admires how amazing humans are.]

Choi Yeonseung and the constellations thought of this as nothing more than an incident spurred on by the overall chaos. Some greedy humans had acted rashly and ended up digging their own graves.

No one expected the evil god constellations to be affected by this incident.

***

-Thirteen minions of the Greedy Owner of the Treasure House have been arrested... Cooperate with the account freezing...

-Accounts opened in tax havens have been identified as belonging to the Greedy Owner of the Treasure House. The authorities have identified these accounts...

-Artifacts that were trafficked have been found and recovered. The parties involved deny knowing anything, but...

Choi Yeonseung had assumed that people would just briefly mention this, but governments around the world reacted more vigorously than expected.

Starting with the United States, powerful countries that had their own voices joined hands to conduct a thorough investigation, which yielded more findings than expected.

No matter how much property was hidden in overseas tax havens, no one could prevent an alliance of powerful countries from seizing it.

‘What?’

“It’s clear that your sincerity has reached their hearts, Hunter Choi Yeonseung,” Adaquaniel explained in a slightly elated voice.

But even so, Choi Yeonseung wasn’t convinced. “Governments from around the world won’t be moved by one person’s sincerity. Earth isn’t that kind of place.”

“Of course not. But this time, the Greedy Owner of the Treasure House is trying to get his hands on your property. You’re on friendly terms with those governments, and the effects of the invasion haven’t disappeared completely yet. Thus, you can impose some economic sanctions if you want. Those governments probably know that, and adding your sincerity to that, they decided to cooperate with each other.”

“...”

Choi Yeonseung thought Adaquaniel didn’t understand how things actually were...

-Rather, aren’t they intimidated by you?

-...So this is what it’s come to.

Currently, there were few countries that weren’t paying attention to Choi Yeonseung, and that wasn’t just because of the symbolic value of the S-grade.

Choi Yeonseung had a lot of things in his hands. In particular, the materials from the companies were like a lifeline for many hunter clans. The invasion wasn’t over yet, and if the supply of artifacts and other items was cut off...

All those factors had led to countries around the world trying to suppress the Greedy Owner of the Treasure House.

First of all, he was an evil god constellation, which was already enough to motivate this cause. People who were tired of the evil god constellations spreading fear and destruction were cheering for this campaign.

-I can’t believe they’re preaching about driving out the evil god constellations when they’ve been ignoring them all this time!

-It’s because there are a lot of people who have joined forces with the evil god constellations!

Everyone was happy.

—Except for the Greedy Owner of the Treasure House.

[The ‘Greedy Owner of the Treasure House’ warns you angrily.]

[He tells you to stop all of this right now.]

The treasure house constellation was running around for revenge without caring about any damage to himself, but losing his fortune hurt nonetheless. He gave Choi Yeonseung a warning, but...

‘It isn’t something I can stop, nor is it something I need to stop.’

Choi Yeonseung was already in a position to fight the treasure house constellation anyway, so he could just sit back, relax, and watch the governments do his work.

I don’t have the ability to do that. And even if I did, I wouldn’t want to.

[The ‘Greedy Owner of the Treasure House’ points out the power of your household member!]

There seems to be a misunderstanding. You see, China is out to get you, but my household members don’t have any power there.

The Greedy Owner of the Treasure House protested angrily, but he never stood a chance in this argument to begin with. He couldn’t possibly outsmart Choi Yeonseung, who knew much more about Earth than him.

In fact, the Greedy Owner of the Treasure House hesitated because he was dumbfounded by Choi Yeonseung’s excuse.

The Chinese government was trying to oppress the treasure house constellation because of what he had done, not because of Choi Yeonseung.

[The ‘Greedy Owner of the Treasure House’ talks about what is happening in other countries...]

I didn’t order them to attack you. Rather, it’s the constellations who have suffered because of you that have instructed those countries to go after you. Take the Snake of Alcohol and Dancing. She has lost a lot because of you. It’s unfortunate.

[The ‘Greedy Owner of the Treasure House’ demands that you stop with these tricks!]

You can bluster all you want, but that won’t change the truth, Greedy Owner of the Treasure House. Besides, don’t forget that you still owe me.

[The ‘Greedy Owner of the Treasure House’ calms down.]

Seeing that his anger wasn’t doing him any good, the treasure house constellation took a step back and calmed down. Many evil god constellations couldn’t control their anger, but the treasure house constellation could compose himself and act rationally even in these situations.

[The ‘Greedy Owner of the Treasure House’ says that he understands.]

[But he warns you not to forget.]

[The ‘Greedy Owner of the Treasure House’ declares that it is only a matter of time before humans come to his kingdom.]

[That is when humans will pay.]

***

Uranta, the household member of the Warrior With a Hammer, looked at the human hunters in frustration.

“Y-you are too slow... Why are you so slow?”

“Uranta, we’re moving as fast as possible, but since we’re humans...”

“Ch-Choi Yeonseung is also human, but he moves much faster than you.”

“...”

The human hunters serving the Warrior With a Hammer were baffled when Uranta compared them to an S-grade hunter.

Clearly, an S-grade hunter would be faster than them!

It was an utterly ridiculous comparison!

[The ‘Warrior With a Hammer’ warns you not to harass other household members.]

“I-I’m sorry.” Uranta stumbled forward.

He had come to the kingdom of the Greedy Owner of the Treasure House by order of his constellation. However, this kingdom was unexpectedly peaceful.

The hunters following him were very nervous, and they whispered among themselves with bewildered expressions.

“I thought I would get something...”

“We even received funding to get useful information. We must get something.”

“Isn’t it too peaceful?”

The duration and level of difficulty varied, but all the Abyss raids they had done so far had been brutal. Abyss raids were on a completely different scale from raids on Earth!

However, the Fourth Kingdom, which belonged to the Greedy Owner of the Treasure House, was strangely quiet. All hunters knew that such realms were incredibly rare in the Abyss.

“It’s... a city. ”

“Can we go in?”

After walking along a path in the woods, the hunters spotted a city and anxiously discussed what to do next.

One couldn’t regard a city in the Abyss like one on Earth. Even though it seemed peaceful, this city was most likely strange and twisted.

A city inhabited exclusively by undead or an underwater city were lucky cases that humans could deal with, but they had stumbled upon much more grotesque cities.

“T-trust me,” Uranta said firmly.

With that, the hunters’ apprehension started to go away. Even though Uranta was difficult to deal with in some regards, they could wholeheartedly trust the combat power of a giant.

“Alright!”

“I will follow you!”

As they approached the city, they spotted a goblin pulling a wagon.

Looking at Uranta, the goblin asked, “Have you come here to take on the challenge of the realm?”

“Th-that’s right, goblin. Are you our adversary?”

“You could say so.”

With that, Uranta immediately raised a weapon, causing the hunters around him to gulp nervously. They would soon witness the powerhouses of the Abyss go at it!

Watching this fight would be of immense help to the hunters.

“C-come. I will allow you to come first, goblin.”

“Come?”

“A-aren’t you the adversary prepared for this challenge?”

“Ah, there seems to be a misunderstanding. It’s not just me. Everyone in this kingdom is your adversary.” The goblin chuckled.

“...D-Do I have to kill them all?”

“No! You are such a savage!” The goblin was appalled by Uranta’s misunderstanding. “Our master, the Greedy Owner of the Treasure House, doesn’t like such cruel and barbaric fights.”

[Entering the Fourth Abyss Kingdom.]

[Gather the most wealth.]

[Reward: the kingdom of the Greedy Owner of the Treasure House.]

[Admission restrictions: None]

[Time limit: None]

“...”

“...”

The hunters present blinked in disbelief as they confirmed the conditions of the challenge again.

What was this?

“E... Earn money?”

“What kind of kingdom is this?”

Seeing how confused the hunters were, the goblin replied contemptuously, “I heard that humans are quite good at commerce, but seeing your reactions, I guess that’s just a false rumor. Fighting to the death is barbaric and outdated. There are too many uncertainties and trivial variables in that kind of fighting. Even the strongest warriors can accidentally die to the weak.”

The goblin looked at everyone with a meaningful gaze before continuing, “But wealth... Wealth is absolute, its value undeniable. No matter how many mistakes you make, in the end, the wealth in this kingdom will go to its true master.”

“...”

The hunters felt uneasy after being scolded by the goblin.

“Uranta, what are you going to do?”

“D-don’t worry.”

Uranta’s reaction reassured the hunters.

‘He must have something in mind!’

“I-I will go back and bring Choi Yeonseung. I-I’m sure he knows a lot about this.”

[The ‘Warrior With a Hammer’ sighs that you thought well.]
