Chapter 436
* * *
I feel like I might have seen him occasionally as Yu Eunha, but I am here right now as Mutant Baekhwa.
With Dark Elf Reina, Mutant Han Suji, and True Saintess Rosari-ah added to the mix, we essentially came as representatives of the Baekhwa Cult.
First, I bowed my head to Choi Cheolsik.
“Nice to meet you. I am Baekhwa.”
“Hello. I am Si-ah of Baekhwa.”
“I am Ray.”
“I am Rosari.”
“Welcome, everyone. Now, right this way.”
Receiving the gazes of everyone in the Hunter Association, we moved inside.
With the utmost care. We even had an escort attached.
It might double as surveillance, but they were treating us like VIPs.
As expected, if it’s to this extent, it has to be war.
It’s obvious that China is slowly starting to pull a dirty trick.
Otherwise, there’s no way the so-called Hunter Association would act this amiably toward Mutants.
Even if they are fans of Baekhwa TV.
Strictly speaking, since Baekhwa TV is a recently created channel, even if Choi Cheolsik were my subscriber or fan, it would be difficult for him to accept Mutant Baekhwa in matters related to national interests.
In short, he is a patriot.
There is also the image of Mutants.
No matter how many Mutants are generalized victims, the ratio of villains is overwhelmingly high, so honestly, it would be natural to be treated with caution even in this setting.
Seeing them take such a low posture, I should at least hear the reason first.
“So, I would like to hear the reason you called us.”
“Hmm, right. There would be no point in hiding it anyway. China is preparing for war.”
Choi Cheolsik scratched the back of his head as he said that, acting in a way unsuited for his age.
No, why are you making a face like that?
Don’t make such a pitiful expression.
He seems to think we don’t age because we’re Mutants and that we’re around his age. Not a chance.
Fresh beautiful girls like us don’t know anything about war.
“Um, I’m sorry to say this, but we are still young.”
“Young?”
“Yes. We are still in our early 20s. We have no connection to war.”
To dare bring up war to a fresh woman in her 20s!
Perhaps pre-Cataclysm, some loudmouths would have squawked and thrown a fit. Unfortunately, at this point in time, we weren’t in a position to distinguish between man and woman.
After the Great Cataclysm, there are many strong women among Hunters.
“You had that kind of power at that age.”
His eyes immediately changed, and the expression that had shown he found us difficult just a moment ago was now showing an appropriate level of respect.
“But. A war in this era?”
“We found it hard to believe as well, but after we gathered intelligence, a large-scale corps is already stationed in the Northeast Three Provinces.”
Northeast Three Provinces.
It’s the frontline region of China that borders the Korean Peninsula.
The problem is that the place is almost entirely an Erosion Zone.
The existence of a 'large-scale' corps in that Erosion Zone definitely means they aren’t normal hunters.
Even the great Hunters of Korea wouldn’t be able to last long in an Erosion Zone right now. Chinese Hunters are staying in an Erosion Zone?
This is suspicious.
Moreover, the number of this large-scale corps is staggering.
It exceeds a whopping 1 million. One million, I tell you. Seeing the level at which they try to make up for it with sheer numbers even in this situation, the outcome is truly predictable.
“Hmm, is that so? The number is roughly one million?”
“How do you know that?”
“Well, the Chinese bastards always use that kind of volume when they attack Korea.”
This is a reality that cannot be ignored.
Because those guys always only fight wars of attrition with sheer numbers when attacking Korea.
“Right. If there is a problem, it’s that all of them are Hunters.”
“Hunters, I see. Hmm.”
“So about that.”
“You want to request help. That’s what you mean, right?”
It’s easy to catch on.
You want to request help.
That must be what he means.
“Oh. You catch on right away.”
“Hmm. But this isn’t something so easy. We would also be risking our lives to fight, in our own way.”
Things like this have to be negotiated.
If you just laugh it off and say, “just give us the order!” and listen to whatever they say, it’s easy to be treated as a pushover.
Anyway, since the person named Choi Cheolsik is ultimately the association President, he can’t just treat us Mutants well unconditionally.
So we have to negotiate at an appropriate level.
On our end, we have to extract everything we possibly can.
“Ah, right. I apologize for this.”
“Not at all.”
“Of course, I have thought of a few conditions. What do you think?”
“When you say conditions, what kind?”
It has to be something that satisfies me.
First of all, what Mutants currently desire the most is ultimately obtaining Korean citizenship.
Unfortunately, excluding the humans currently in large cities, the Mutants in the erosion zones all lack a single ID card.
They don’t have citizenship either.
Thus, they are no different from refugees who cannot receive the protection of the law.
To add credibility to this, I didn’t even attach identity verification to the broadcasting platform.
So right now, I’m not even making any separate money.
“First, I will give citizenship to the Mutants of Baekhwa TV.”
“Well, our channel name is Baekhwa TV, and we are called the Baekhwa Corps.”
In other words, this means there are more people.
“Are you saying there are more?”
“Yes.”
“How good are their skills?”
“Their skills can, well, be verified.”
“Understood. Then I can grant Korean citizenship to the entire Baekhwa Corps.”
Citizenship. That is definitely something we should receive.
However, if there is a problem, whether we’ll be welcomed even if we receive it is a different issue.
Receiving citizenship is one thing, but getting shunned by Koreans the moment we enter in our Mutant forms is another.
Well, we could just disguise ourselves as normal people, but we can’t hide our bodies and live as normal people for the rest of our lives.
“Ah, and there is one more thing I would like to ask of you.”
“If it’s money.”
“I have plenty of money left over, so that doesn’t matter.”
“Then what is it?”
“I would like you to not treat Mutants as villains unconditionally. That is a hasty generalization.”
“Hmm.”
“We are just sensitive to emotions, but isn’t it because you corner us as villains and discriminate against us that the number of villains is increasing? We are also Koreans who speak Korean.”
We are Koreans with the blood of K-Nation flowing in us!
Perhaps my strong will stood out, as Choi Cheolsik narrowed his brow and opened his mouth.
“That one over there is an Elf, and that one over there is somewhat, hmm. It’s a bit strange since she’s a Mutant, but doesn’t she have a Western body type.”
“Isn’t the important thing the K-Spirit, which the yamato Spirit of the Japanese Empire wouldn’t even dare to catch up to? If one realizes one’s pride as a K Citizen, I believe that makes them different!”
As if giving a speech. Clenching both hands tightly.
I proudly preached.
that we are proud Koreans.
Honestly, I don’t have an ounce of patriotism, but still, it can’t be helped; I have to get the Baekhwa Corps treated as humans here.
It would be difficult to cater to the whims of that dictator Ha Jeongseok, so I have to at least create a justification so they have no choice but to acknowledge us.
“Is that so?”
“We like kimchi, bulgogi, and bibimbap.”
“That’s right. Kimchi is the best.”
Dark Elf Reina and Saintess of the Evil Dragon Rosari-ah spoke confidently.
Treating Mutants as villains unconditionally is a hasty generalization.
Above all, if we play an active role this time, we will be able to erase that generalization little by little.
After that, Choi Cheolsik can compromise with Ha Jeongseok and slowly improve the image of Mutants.
And to do that, there is one thing that is most necessary.
To play an active role in this war, we first have to move a large-scale army, and to go north, we have to pass through Seoul from Songdo right now.
So in a word, we need military transit rights.
“Hmm, I will suggest that to the President, His Excellency, and gradually work on fixing it.”
“Yes. And also some military transit rights.”
“Military transit rights?”
He didn’t seem to have expected it to go that far.
The rare contortion of his face was quite a sight to see.
“Yes. Our numbers are a bit large, you see. If you say it’s a war, we will ultimately become a belligerent force as well, and we are equipped with our own combat power.”
“Are you saying there are that many?”
“Yes.”
Choi Cheolsik made a complex and subtle expression before nodding his head.
Well, Choi Cheolsik probably doesn’t have any other method either.
And.
For a while, an uneasy peace persisted.
Our side. The Baekhwa Corps is also preparing for war.
Since Songdo has now stabilized to some extent, we have started preparing for war.
At the Academy, they are also responding in their own way.
“Teacher, is it true that China is invading?”
“I don’t want to make you anxious, but… Well, if you are adults now, you should know. They say there are signs of that happening.”
“Then do we go to war too?”
“I don’t know if we get pushed back to Seoul, but we have the best fighting power, don’t we.”
“Ah.”
He quelled the students' anxiety through Yu Jinseok.
That’s how much Yu Jinseok’s position in this nation was truly, incredibly at a deified level.
As expected, the existence of a prequel protagonist is truly amazing.
Originally, Choi Siwoo should have been riding on those coattails too.
Choi Siwoo is currently sucking my pussy.
Under the desk, at that.
She is a mutant heroine whose actions have become truly obscene.
“Originally, you should be making a name for yourself too, you know.”
“Fufu. Tell Yu Jinseok to do things like that. To me, you are the most important.”
“It’s not my pussy that’s important?”
“Of course not. I like you, who have a pussy like this attached. I like that you showed me a world like this.”
Right. Right. If you come out like that, I like it too.
I don’t feel anything like guilt, but it’s true that I feel pointlessly uncomfortable.
Well, the framework of the original work won’t change.
Honestly, even if Yu Jinseok struggled alone, he would have caught Gluttony together with the Yu Jinseok Generation.
But even if the original work has gone awry,
Right now, there is Choi Siwoo, who is about King-level +15.
That Gluttony bitch seems confident she can win, but with Max Level Choi Siwoo already here, I wonder?
That Gluttony bitch will have to offer up her pussy if she wants to survive.
No matter how arousing a Chinese bitch looks, it doesn’t make my dick hard, but a pussy would be different. Especially if she’s Gluttony, she wouldn’t be a normal Chinese person.
Well, rubbing pussies with Gluttony sounds like it could be fun too.
For now, I decided to look into Yu Jinseok’s situation as well.
-Uh, Eunha. I was actually just about to contact you.
“Is it true that a war is breaking out?”
I should pretend to be a little worried here.
After all, even if our relationship isn’t great, we are siblings.
So it means there’s a need to exchange news.
