Devour My Own Path

Chapter 20: Rest



The place changed in a hospital room that had been waiting for Sylv there. Oliver immediately laid Hyun down.

"I've done the message"

"Thank you, Oliver"

Sylv then checks on Hyun's condition. "How is the condition?"

"As written, it is likely that Hyun will sleep for 2 months"

Oliver looked at Hyun who was asleep.

"Alright then, I'll go back and prepare everything needed"

Before Oliver left, Sylv asked. "Has he lived up to your expectations?"

Oliver smiled, "he'll grow as strong as you"

Oliver's Ministry and the others left.

"As strong as I am..."

"Of course you have to exceed Oliver's expectations, Hyun"

 

The day after

"Are you going to announce Hyun to those reporters?"

In the room where Hyun was being treated, Oliver came to visit before the press conference. Sylv, who was on guard at the time, asked about the decision Oliver was going to make.

"Without even having to announce it, there has been a lot of news about Hyun"

"And there are some that are offensive about you"

Oliver looked at Sylv who smiled sadly stroking Hyun's hair.

"Should I go with you, explain everything" she said without looking away.

Oliver closed his eyes, shaking his head in disapproval. "I guess that's a bad idea considering that Hyun has officially joined my guild right now"

"If everyone knows Hyun is also related to you...." Oliver didn't continue his speech.

"I guess you're right, he still needs a lot of experience before he really gets into the hunter world" Sylv straightened her back looking at Oliver.

"So, what exactly happened there?"

Oliver sighed, telling everything except his past.

"His personality and appearance have changed...?" her hand resting on her chin seemed to be thinking hard.

"Do you know something?"

Regardless of the daydream, "ah, I'm sorry"

"I see..." Oliver didn't want to ask any more.

"Thank you for your understanding"

"However" Oliver looked back at Hyun, "is that dangerous?"

"I'm not sure, but Hyun's change won't hurt people carelessly"

"Alright…" Oliver nodded and walked out to quench the reporter's thirst.

"I hope those reporters don't ask anything strange," Sylv said before Oliver opened the door.

"No need to worry, I'm not an easy fish"

Krieett...

"Sorry to call you after the press conference, Oliver"

Oliver walked towards the waiting sofa. "No problem" Dong Wook's secretary served Oliver tea.

"Thank you"

Dong Wook walked over to Oliver with some documents.

"So, why won't you bring any more candidates this year?" Dong Wook sat across from Oliver and handed over the documents.

Oliver picked up and read a few. "I guess I'll bring one"

"Hoo? A Hunter No 1 who for 3 years has never brought a candidate suddenly wants to bring one?"

The documents that have been read, are typed on the table. "They just want to show off as usual"

"Hahaha.... I'm sure this year's candidate is the strongest as long as the Hunter Society is held."

After reading the rest, Oliver brewed his tea.

"Looking at the information of the candidates, I think you are right"

"So, who is that unlucky candidate?!" Dong Wook arched his back, interested.

Oliver put down his cup of tea, "I'm sure you already know"

"Come on, there's no need to play games with this old man"

"What is Yoon Seok? son of a Korean hero?"

"I heard he was the youngest in Korea when he reached level 200"

Oliver stared straight at Dong Wook.

"Didn't you watch my press conference? and for Yoon Seok..."

"He's still as hard as a rock but fragile inside"

Dong Wook was very surprised, "No way! What do you mean you're going to bring someone who has just become a hunter?!"

There was a hollow on Oliver's lips.

"He is a diamond that has not been polished by experience"

Aware of Oliver's change in expression, Dong Wook was a little curious about Hyun.

"Seeing yourself smiling when discussing someone, makes me a little excited about him"

"You can look forward to it..."

Through his gesture, Kyu Ho, Dong Wook's secretary, took a document on the desk and handed it to Dong Wook.

"Before that, I apologize for burdening you with all this" Dong Wook handed the document to Oliver.

"Those are all the reports that have happened in Korea and some other countries about strange things that have happened recently."

"As the head of the association, I can't attend that gathering..."

"No problem, thank you for your hard work all this time" Oliver accepted the document and read it in part.

"What do you think?"

Oliver was concentrating on reading a document about a strange event in America.

"Is this the same as what happened in Jeju?"

Reading the document made Oliver a little incredulous.

"That's right, the incident happened in a city in America where thousands of people died with smiling faces"

What made Oliver even more surprised was that all the hunters who became victims were declared dead in the state of ordinary humans.

"Isn't there any evidence left behind?"

Dong Wook's heavy breathing filled the atmosphere of silence. "Unfortunately there is none"

"They are like being sucked into their souls"

"It seems like all of these incidents are related to the dungeon getting more and more massive"

After reading some of the documents, Oliver brewed his tea again.

"Three more months..." Oliver stared far behind Dong Wook's glass-enclosed desk.

"I hope nothing strange happens"

Krieett...

"You're late, you lazy!" a beautiful voice adorned the room.

"Ha ha, I'm a little lost, you NPD"

"Shut up, you destroyer of beauty!"

"Asmodeus sis, I want some chocolate."

"Of course, honey..." Asmodeus takes a piece of chocolate cake and feeds it to Evi. "This, aaa..."

Evi opened her mouth wide to receive the feed. "Aaa..."

Mammon motioned for Belphegor to sit down immediately. "Sit down, Bel..."

"Thank you, Mammon"

Belphegor sat at the end of an empty chair. "By the way, where can you find such a comfortable place?"

He took a sip of the dishes that had been served on the table.

"This is a meeting room that will be used at the meeting of world hunters"

"Ahahaha, you have good taste" said Satan while taking an apple.

"If the place is bad, maybe I won't come"

Instantly the room was silent.

"Do you want to die so many times, Satan..."

"Come on... Shouldn't clowns give jokes at a time like this?"

With his black hair and dark red eyes, Satan threw his apple into the air over and over again. Rest his left arm on the soft chair.

"You fk clown! It's time for you to explain about the monster you stole back then!"

Beelzebub was furious and threw a knife at Satan. But Satan easily caught it with a piece of apple.

"What's wrong Beel.... Didn't Mammon allow it?"

"Shut up..." Mammon's voice broke the noise.

"How is it going, Beel?"

Beelzebub tidied up his sitting posture, "thanks to Asmodeus' delivery, everything went smoothly"

"Fufu..." Asmodeus' passionate smile responded to Beel's remarks. Her white hair coupled with a fiery red color in her eyes adds to the impression of maturity that is thirsty for lust.

Mammon nodded in satisfaction.

"Then, Satan and Evi, what do you think of him?"

"Hehe, thanks to Mammon, Evi has a good toy," said Evi while moving her doll's hand.

"He gave a wonderful show" Satan again took a piece of wine.

"It seems like he has grown a lot..." said Mammon.

"How about your preparations, Beel?"

"Don't worry, I've prepared the best prizes for the hunters later," said Beel.

"You, Lucifer?"

"There are no flaws in a perfect plan," Lucifer replied proudly.

"Good..."

Suddenly after smiling, Mammon put on a serious expression that made everyone wait while holding their breath. The atmosphere became heavy.

"Since you guys have done a great job, it's time to celebrate!!"

Instantly the heavy atmosphere became a little relaxed.

"Hahaha, you have a good sense of humor, Mammon"

"Not as good as your taste, Satan"

"Thank you for the flattery" Satan stood up and arched his back, paying respect.

Mammon lowered her hand, telling Satan to sit down again.

"Please enjoy the meal..."

"Nee Mammon, isn't there a man to entertain??"

"And don't forget the beautiful woman," Asmodeus' voice changed.

"You're noisy, bipolar!" said Lucifer as he elegantly cut the meat.

Beel took a piece of meat. "This is animal meat? Isn't there any hunter meat?"

"Enough, Beel! there's Evi here"

Belphegor warned Beel to restrain his desire.

"Your joke is so bad, Beel," Satan said.

"Haven't you eaten a lot in your 'Smile'?"

As if he didn't hear anything, Beel ate the meat he had previously taken.

Lucifer also took a glass of wine. "How can you get those humans to serve us food?"

"Nothing special, I just changed a little and the rats obeyed without saying anything" Mammon took a piece of cake with her.

"Haha, you're scary as always"

"Oh yea Mammon, what about Oliver and Sylv?" asked Bel.

"There's nothing to worry about Oliver but, for Sylv..."

Mammon's evil smile gave everyone there goosebumps in fear. If that smile appeared from her, it was certain that a big event would happen.

"I have a special gift for her..."
