Chapter 392 – Survival of The Fittest (1)
The South Korean Government and the South Korean Hunters’ Association had long since gotten on Han-Yeol’s nerves, but it was only during the funeral that he started thinking about what to do with them.
“My fellow Koreans, I love our country. Unfortunately, the government and the Association have not only colluded with each other for their benefit, but they have caused our country to become rotten to its very core. I plan to root out the forces ruining our country before they run it to the ground,” Han-Yeol announced. Then he gave a signal to Sahas.
The Gurkha raid party members brought in two scarecrows and placed them on the stage. They looked like normal scarecrows, there was nothing special about them, but the reporters instinctively knew these were far from ordinary scarecrows.
Gulp...!
‘One is the government and the other is the association...!’
‘T-That means...’
“This is what I will be doing from now on,” Han-Yeol said.
Shiiik! Chwak!
Magma and ice shot out from his hands without warning and completely obliterated the scarecrows. There was no way these ordinary scarecrows made out of straw could withstand an elemental attack from Han-Yeol, who was now Level 511.
The reporters were absolutely shocked at what they witnessed, especially since it was not a skill but just a materialization of the elements he could control.
Most people would ridicule him for being chuuni if he did this for no reason, but he was fortunately saved from such ridicule due to the situation warranting his actions.
Anyway, the magma and ice annihilated the scarecrows, not even leaving ash behind. This was a performance, but it was not about showing off.
It was about sending a message.
“I sincerely hope my message will reach their ears.”

Han-Yeol was renowned as the most powerful Hunter in the world, but people seemed to know him as someone quiet and meek for some reason.
The reason behind this misconception about his personality was simple.
It was right after Han-Yeol obtained the title of the Most Powerful Hunter that all sorts of Hunters started taunting him. Their taunts came through numerous channels such as live interviews, videos challenging him on video-sharing platforms, and so on.
Why would they do such a thing?
The answer was simple: to make a name for themselves. Hunting monsters was the only way most Hunters could become well-known, so some of them tried to take a shortcut by challenging famous Hunters to a duel in hopes of defeating them and becoming famous themselves.
This was not a problem particular to Han-Yeol; many other famous Hunters experienced this on a daily basis.
However, the number of times Han-Yeol responded to such taunts or challenges was a whopping... zero.
This was the reason people thought that Han-Yeol was a meek and docile person.
So why was he showing a completely different side of him at the press conference, all of a sudden?
The performance he put on sent shockwaves throughout South Korea.

[A stern warning has been issued against the government and association. Who will be struck down by his sword first?]
[What is the true meaning behind the performance he put on during the press conference?]
Some of the news were quite neutral, while some were much more aggressive regarding the issue.

The news outlets pressured and censored by the government all these years finally let loose and started publishing extremely aggressive news in favor of Han-Yeol.
However, there were still some major news outlets that sided with the government and the Association, and these news outlets were quick to criticize Han-Yeol.
[Lee Han-Yeol’s baseless slander should be considered treason!]
[The traitor has to be arrested for committing treason against the country!]
[Parents’ Association and We Love Korea Association have demanded an apology from Lee Han-Yeol!]
