The Constellation Returned From Hell

Chapter 480

Chapter 480

Clap clap clap clap clap!

At Huntsman’s wink, his subordinates started clapping again. But even so, they noticed what was going on. Ne/w novel chapters are published at novelhall.com

‘Is it okay to do this?’

Of course, the hunters wouldn’t just attack them, since they weren’t in a lawless jungle. However, they were still scared of what was to come.

After all, if hunters acted reasonably and with common sense, why did headlines like ‘Hunters are rioting in the streets with artifacts” keep appearing in the news?

In fact, the hunters at the scene were glaring at Huntsman with a mixture of shock and horror. He had just handed over the monster rewards, which were worth at least a few hundred million dollars, to someone else. Regardless of how long these hunters had been working for Huntsman, it wouldn’t be strange if they killed him.

‘You fucking lunatic...!’

‘Did he just hand over the monster?’

“Boss, are you just gonna let him do this?”

“Ah... Well...”

The hunters protested to their clan leaders, their voices brimming with killing intent, but there wasn’t really anything the leaders could do in this situation.

Huntsman was a madman holding onto their leashes!

Even though he was a helpless civilian when monsters were wreaking havoc, he would return to being a bigshot politician with enormous power when the raid was over.

If he walked around with his fanatical supporters and said, ‘Everyone, the bastards from this clan are ruining our country,’ then it didn’t matter how strong the clan was. They would be attacked from all directions.

Moreover, given his personality, Huntsman would certainly not let them go if the clan leaders defected or betrayed him.

A normal, sane politician would recognize the power of such clans and think, ‘I should avoid conflict with them so they’ll help me again in the future.’

However, Huntsman would seek to kill them if they betrayed him.

The hunters considered him a madman for a reason.

“Everyone, calm down.

“What do you mean, calm down? This is the money we’ve risked our lives for!”

“Mr. Huntsman almost died.”

“That’s true, but... It’s not our fault, is it? We received our orders from above after all!”

Just as the atmosphere among the hunters was becoming increasingly worse, Isabella Meyer returned to the scene.

“Miss Meyer!”

The clan leaders were glad to see her and ran over to greet her.

Isabella Meyer had the most authority in this situation, so perhaps Huntsman would listen to her.

“?”

“Mr. Huntsman...”

Isabella Meyer nodded with an emotionless expression after hearing what had happened.

“I understand.”

“Wa-wait a minute.”

“?”

The clean leaders were flustered at her reaction. Even after hearing what had transpired, Meyer just nodded coldly and moved on...

What was going on?

“We’ve worked so hard to kill the monster! Aren’t you upset that we’re not getting the rewards...?”

At the clan leader's words, Isabella Meyer firmly explained, “A hunter’s duty is to kill monsters and protect citizens, not to greedily pursue their trivial interests. Why do you keep going about those rewards?”

“N-no... Uhm...”

The clan leader was speechless. He had known beforehand that Isabella Meyer had a screw loose, but after talking to her in person, he really had nothing more to say.

What crazy nonsense was she saying...?!

‘Is she joking? What hunter would risk their lives to fight if they don’t get paid?

Of course, all hunters declared in interviews that saving citizens brought them happiness, but how many of them actually meant it?

“Oh, it’s been a while since I’ve heard such great words.” Choi Yeonseung nodded as he listened from a distance.

Meyer was definitely right!

This shocked not only Illeya but also Lamart.

“Right now, the clans don’t even have the spirit to protest. They’re busy with their own problems.”

The clans involved in this raid were having a hard time.

Huntsman was biting at them from above, a fight had broken out among hunters along the way and had to be handled, and Isabella Meyer, whom they had trusted, only said what she wanted to say without helping...

Things weren’t downright awful because Choi Yeonseung had benevolently shared the rewards of the raid. If he had monopolized everything, it wouldn’t have been surprising if there had been a riot.

“It’s really amazing. I never thought you’d foresee this much and give away your rights to the monster. I thought it was a waste at first, but now I understand the meaning behind it,” said Hwang Jaecheol, the executive from Dragon Battery, with a look of admiration.

After hearing that he had saved other clan hunters during the raid and shared the monster rewards instead of monopolizing them, Hwang Jaecheol initially thought that Choi Yeonseung was being too generous.

But seeing how everyone reacted, he realized that Choi Yeonseung’s gesture had been part of his meticulous plan.

Thanks to rescuing the other clan hunters and people from Huntsman’s camp, the chaotic aftermath of the raid didn’t affect Choi Yeonseung. The clans that were fighting each other weren’t bothering Choi Yeonseung because he had given them a share of the rewards.

If the clans had tried taking the rewards by force, the scandal would’ve instantly made it to the media, and the situation would’ve been ten times more chaotic.

Choi Yeonseung had solved the problem in an unexpected and clever way.

“I didn’t really intend to do that.”

“You’re being humble...”

“No.”

“Oh, okay...?”

Hwang Jaecheol paused after Choi Yeonseung’s firm reply.

Was it really not the case?

“So did you find what I mentioned?”

After the raid, Choi Yeonseung had ordered his hunters to look for the metal cat.

He hadn’t cared about it when the A-grade monster had still been there, but now that the raid was over, he couldn’t miss out on such a great bonus. If he did, the executives from Dragon Industry would likely shed tears of blood.

-How could you ignore it and pass by?!

-You should’ve let Huntsman and the hunters die!!!

“Yes. However, some people are speculating that the hunters might’ve mistaken a different monster for the metal cat. We’re using every tracking spell possible, but...”

Choi Yeonseung was lost in thought after hearing Hwang Jaecheol’s report. He wasn’t sure if there actually was a metal cat out there. After all, it wasn’t him who had seen it but the other hunters who had fought in the raid.

Maybe they were mistaken or they had seen an illusion. There were a few monsters in the Abyss that cast illusions.

[The ‘Cat of Lava and Magma’ says to search a bit more. It’s too good to miss.]

-Yeah, I know.

Choi Yeonseung thought that since this had happened, it was better to go out and search for the cat himself. If he combined his abilities with those of constellations such as the goddess of balance, he would be able to catch what the hunters had missed.

‘But I don’t know if it’s worth it.’

To be honest, Choi Yeonseung wanted to throw away politics and this media competition and concentrate on his personal training. His mind was focused on that new mysterious realm. Not even the goddess of sloth knew what that was about...

‘There’s a new realm, and it’s a combined one? What’s the combination?’

The realm of ■■.

Training?

Drills?

Conditioning?

-...You already have all those things.

Choi Yeonseung made up his mind and opened the door to go outside. Then, an unexpected guest appeared in front of him.

It was Isabella Meyer. She had her characteristic blazing eyes as spoke up.

“I came here because I have a proposal, one that I think will interest you.”

‘She must’ve heard about the metal cat.’

“Go on,” Choi Yeonseung replied.

“I want to wipe away all the constellations on Earth. I’m sure you feel the same way.”

“...?!”

-D-do you...?

-No... Calm down.
