My Range is One Million

Chapter 121: The Top Hunter

Tak...Tak

Something suddenly hit her head as soon as she realized that her enemy was moving in closer.

‘It’s watching me.’

The hunt wasn’t over yet.

Swosh... Pong

He shot another arrow and it went into Sasaki’s arm.

Swoosh... Swoosh swoosh...

Pong... Pong... pong...

He riddled her body with arrows except for her head. She wriggled like an earthworm despite the arrows that were buried in her body. She was now too weak to heal herself.

Jaehwang had no mercy within him, he has gotten used to hunting monsters and animals. If the monster could endure it for a little more then it would’ve escaped. She had a lot of arrows inside her but she was still far from her last breath.

“Please spare me!” Sasaki begged.

With those words, the hunter actually replied and she heard its voice for the first time. It was a voice that belonged to a young man and he wore a headset that enabled him to translate his words into their native language.

Unfortunately, what he said wasn’t what the monster was hoping to hear.

“Hmm, your back looks fine. Looks like I should shoot again.”

He said right before he shot another arrow.

Kwang!

“Spare me, spare me!” An arrow landed on her back and she shouted in pain.

Sasaki pleaded once again but Jaehwang just shot another arrow which she could no longer endure.

She had used all of her strength. She was confident about her spells but it seems that she had underestimated the abilities of her enemy. With a sense of shame, she then began to stand up.

—It looks like she’s all out of energy.

She finally got up, she walked back for a few steps and healed herself from the wounds that were caused by her hunter.

—Should I attack once more?

—No, we’re done.

The spirit replied and Jaehwang nodded in agreement. It seems that the monster would die if they attacked it one more time. There were about 200 arrows in her body and it was now struggling to move.

Jaehwang didn’t want to kill her.

Tak...

Jaehwang then walked over towards the monster, he was finally able to approach Sasaki.

“So, how’s it going?” Jaehwang said as a terrible attempt to start up some small talk. He wasn’t wearing the headset so he didn’t know if Sasaki would understand what he’s saying.

-—Shouldn’t you wear the headset?

—Ah, right, I forgot.

—Here.

—Ugh, this one is dirty... Buy me a new one.

Jaehwang remembered when the spirit owed him something because of a bet and that was how he got the headset.

Teuk...

“Can you hear me?”

“...”

He didn’t get an answer so Jaehwang adjusted it and tried again.

Teukteuk...

Even after he adjusted the settings, she still didn’t say a word.

“Say something.”

Jaehwang tried to get the monster’s attention but it seemed to have been ignoring him. He reached into his waist and got a knife. His plan was to use the knife to help the monster take out the arrows stuck inside of it.

He needed some information, that clan leader worked with Songjae. That’s why he knew it would be a bad idea to kill it. With that, he took a deep breath and approached the monster in front of him.

“I’ll help you,” Jaehwang whispered to her with a hint of anxiety. He didn’t want to be so cruel but after living his life as a hunter, he learned what he needed to do to survive.

Besides, that person was responsible for sooji’s death. He did the right thing, in a way.

“Huh?” Jaehwang said with a confused tone. Something was strange. If the monster was injured that much then it wouldn’t even have been able to stand at all. Jaehwang then started to doubt its moment of weakness.

—What is this?

—What?

—This thing should be dead already.

Jaehwang examined the arrows inside of the monster just to see that its wounds were already healed. Jaehwang then asked the spirit once again.

—Is it dead? How is it still moving?

—She should be fine because of her natural protection and healing ability. Would it be a good thing if you killed her? Try to give her a nudge and see what happens...

The spirit suggested. He went to track them down to avenge Sooji’s death. The most important thing right now was that he didn’t fail on what he intended to do in the first place.

“Sigh...” He sighed and sat down on the ground. His shadow grew tall as the sun began to come up. As time went by, he began to feel more and more tired.

The spirit sat next to him while eating a chocolate bar. She then quietly reached out her hand towards Jaehwang to offer him a piece of her snack.

“This will make you feel better. Try it.”

“....” Although he knew that it wouldn’t make him feel much better, he took it anyway.

***

He left the Japanese clan in the mountains now that he had gotten his revenge.

By that time, the Koreans were able to revive the Pyeongan area. A lot of clans joined in and in the process, they were able to finish it faster than what they had expected. They received their stocks among with all of their other options.

But of course, the clan weren’t satisfied with just that.

The stock market gave them a fair share of headaches, however, all of their hard work was paid off with the amazing results that they’ve procured.

Unfortunately, the Daehyeon group lost their investments and their stocks failed miserably. It was even all over the media.

[Daehyeon clan continuously loses investments]

[Will the Daehyeon group continue with this streak of failure?]

[What will come of this situation?]

Jaehwang found out that they had been cheating around with their stocks when he broke into their laboratory. He then sent it to the media anonymously to prove their claims.

“It seems that they have brought a lot of shame and disappointment to their name. They tried to hide their illegal acts but they have been caught by an anonymous individual.” The news reporter stated on the live broadcast.

***

Jaehwang placed the collection of files on the table where Gwanjae was sitting at. However, Gwanjae didn’t even open them before he looked up at him with an aloof expression. He didn’t understand why his expression was so dull.

“They are my responsibility. It’s not your place to take them down.” Gwanjae said as he took the documents. Obviously, he wasn’t going to read them. “Why are you doing this?”

“....”

“I’m clearly the one who’s left to pick up the trash in this situation.”

Deuuk deukk...

The desk suddenly began to shake.

“What do you think the media and the officials of the World Hunter Association would think of me when they hear about this?! Do you know what this means for me?!”

Crash!

Gwanjae slammed his fist into the desk and broke it in half.

“I’m sorry,” Jaehwang said with his head held down in shame.

Of course, Gwanjae usually didn’t like the idea of them working with their nation’s Hunter Association but it was a responsibility that he took pride in.

Jaehwang began to feel sad and angry with himself for disappointing Gwanjae. He thought that maybe, he had made a mistake.

The Top Hunter, The End.
