Hunter Kim Bongpal
Kim Bongpal was ignorant because he didnt get a proper education, but that didnt an he was stupid. He endured for nearly 20 years in the world of Hunters, where 60 out of 100 people died at the hands of monsters, and the other 30 died at the hands of humans. If he had been an idiot, he would have died at the hands of another Hunter already.
And a billion dollars was a lot of money he could play and eat for the rest of his life. However, Kim Bongpals lifeti was different from that of others, and he was aware of this fact.
Hey.
Oh! Captain.
Im not the captain. Didnt you hear that I retired? I told you to call hyung, you bastard.
Haha. Once a captain, forever a captain.
So, Kim Bongpal went to see a C-class Hunter, Kang Jun. Kang Jun was a promising 5th-year Hunter in the Hunter team to which he belonged. But that wasnt why Kim Bongpal went to see Kang Jun.
Hey. Well. You said you studied before, right?
Studied? Haha. I was just in middle school.
But its important that you did it, man. I did nothing but beat people in middle school. Damn. They used to make fun of for being an orphan.
Kim Bongpal ca to Kang Jun because he was the most educated person he knew. Although the Outbreak started in middle school, he didnt receive further education. Still, Kim Bongpal had heard that Kang Jun took first place in his class when he was in school.
Anyway. You know, Im retiring this ti.
Yes. Thats right.
I wont be killing monsters anymore, so how will I make money now? Right?
Have you any money saved up? Oh! Longevity!
Yeah. Damn. I dont know when Ill die, but I dont think Ill die in a few decades.
And there was another reason. Kang Jun was one of the few people who knew about Kim Bongpals special ability, Longevity. Because of that, there werent many people for him to call acquaintances. There were a few before, but most of them beca prey to monsters or disappeared from the Hunter community. He didnt receive news from those who sohow survived and succeeded in retirent.
Kim Bongpal, known as the Butcher in those communities, didnt possess the type of character that retired people would look for.
In any case, they had fought together enough for Kang Jun to know the identity of Kim Bongpals special ability. At the sa ti, his brain worked to so extent to borrow Kim Bongpals expression ant he was the only one who t the conditions he was looking for.
Hmm. Then the captain wants to play and eat for the rest of his life. This is what you an, right?
Right. You got it right since youre smart.
And what youve savedhmm, the buildings in the city?
That too. I also have sothing else.
Sothing else? What is it? How much do you?
Dont ask for the details. Just be aware there are so things Ive been hiding. Even if I sold all the buildings I own, the price is slightly more than that.
To be precise, it wasnt a little bit but about $980 million. Still, Kang Jun interpreted it to an that Kim Bongpal had secretly kept about 30 million won. Of course, Kang Juns jaw dropped even with that amount.
Well. Lets pretend I didnt hear it then. Lets see. So, Captain, have you heard of the Rule of 72?
What is that? Stabbing in 72 directions? Fuck. Theres nothing I cant do, but it seems a bit difficult.
Kang Jun laughed. He was well aware that Kim Bongpals previous words werent serious. Clumsy when it ca to showing gratitude, his captain often replaced his thanks with this kind of joke.
Haha. The Rule of 72. There is such a thing as compound interest in this world, you know? It ans adding interest on interest.
That was how Kang Juns brief economic education began. Of course, for Kim Bongpal, it started to seem better to find a five-star monsters head.
So, you say that if you put compound interest in a bank, you can play and eat for the rest of your life?
Kim Bongpal used to forget all the complicated things, but the effect of education wasnt bad anyway. Money begets money, and compounding was the optimal ans for Kim Bongpal, who had many tis more ti than others.
Hahaha! I did well in coming to you, Jun!
Kim Bongpal, greatly delighted, slapped Kang Juns back after learning the magic of welfare.
It looked weird, given Kim Bongpal still looked young, and Kang Jun was an older man with a dark beard, but he was unaware of how it looked to others. And that was also the reason why Kang Jun called Kim Bongpal captain instead of hyung.
Then, you dont want to be a Hunter anymore?
Kang Jun asked Kim Bongpal. In terms of number alone, he could have cut down the most monsters in the world, but Kim Bongpals ability to cut off peoples heads was better.
Kim Bongpal answered with a grin.
I told you. This is a fucking bad life.
A few days ago, I was lying at ho and picking my nose, and the fucking monster stench wouldnt go away. Fuck. So, I was wondering where it was coming from, but it turns out it was coming from .
Kim Bongpals complaints continued for a while. Hed only been slicing monsters all his life, so he couldnt fall asleep without securing his own safety first, and the first thing he looked for when he woke up was a knife.
So, you should quit this fucking line of work quickly. Damn. You have a child too.
He even advised Kang Jun to quit being a Hunter. It was their usual conversation.
I feel sorry for Hayeon. But, this life. I cant quit.
Tsk.
Kim Bongpal clicked his tongue upon seeing Kang Jun start to bristle. He knew why Kang Jun had started this career. Shortly after he was married, a monster killed his wife, and he was awakened by the shock of her death. After 20 years in the Hunter community, there was no way he hadnt seen these kinds of people before. Those who had experienced the death of their lover, family, or friends at the hands of the monsters.
Among them, those who gained strength through awakening usually started their Hunter life in pursuit of revenge to eliminate all the damn monsters. Of course, most of their stories didnt end well. After becoming food for monsters or succumbing to fear, they would end their life as Hunter or entirely.
Thinking about it like that, Kang Juns case worked out very well. He had the talent to help him get revenge, and he had a teacher who saw that talent co to fruition.
Anyway. Have a good day, Captain.
Yeah. Well, its up to you dying or not. Contact later if you die; Ill pay the consultation fee and treat you yukgaejang.
Haha. If I am dead, how can I contact you? And if it is a consultation fee, you should give it to now.
I dont know. Bastard. I have no money.
Kim Bongpal turned around.
Are you going?
Yeah! Nothing more to see here. Ill be going!
Kim Bongpal, walking back, raised his hand and said goodbye to Kang Jun. Kang Jun realized that he wouldnt see the captain for quite so ti after today. It was a short eting for those who fought side-by-side on the battlefield for years, but neither cared about it, and maybe that was why they were close.
One needed soone who would take care of sorting things out after killing a monster, and the other needed soone who could teach him how to fight better than anyone else. It was just that their purposes overlapped for a while out of necessity. Of course, in the process, it was clear that an indescribable bond had accumulated between the two.
When the ti ca when Kim Bongpal was no longer visible, Kang Jun bowed in the direction he had gone. If Kim Bongpal had seen this scene, he would complain, saying it was cringe-worthy. Knowing that it was only now that Kang Jun bowed his head.
There was one more reason why he called Kim Bongpal captain until the end.
Thank you, Captain.
Kang Jun knew well that without Kim Bongpal, he would have died. Even if he were lucky enough to survive, he would still be a Hunter who couldnt care for himself. To borrow Kim Bongpals expression, they were bastards who had never tasted the sll of a monsters mouth.
Therefore, Kang Jun prayed for Kim Bongpals future to flow as he wanted. May he live a life of playing and eating as he wished.
Of course.
Hey, did you co alone? What do you think? I have one good drink in my room. Thats thirty thousand dollars a bottle.
There was a big difference between Kang Juns play-and-eat standards and Kim Bongpals play-and-eat standards.
