Chapter 7

A red pillar of flame had risen up into the sky, and not long after, Ironman and Silver Knight appeared. HQ’s had no idea as to what the situation was.

However, at this moment, Silver Knight had just explained the truth.

JooHyuk Park sighed a breath of relief and quickly fell onto his chair.

He wasn’t able to be completely relieved, but with this, he could at least catch his breath.

“Silver Knight, I sincerely express my respect to you.”

<Can I take it that the situation can be considered to be concluded?>

“I think so. I can’t resolutely say that it’s finished, but the back end work is also complete. So, I don’t think you need to be worried anymore. You should leave the scene and go rest.”

JooHyuk Park already understood Silver Knight’s personality and actions after meeting him once. He was a person that didn’t like getting too much attention.

<Will that be okay?>

“This is not an advice, but an order from a commander with the highest authority for this operation. No matter what anyone says, you have done a major military service for us today. However, putting it in a different way, it means that the other Heroes there have barely done anything. Are you going to monopolize all the military services today?”

Haneul knew that JooHyuk Park was being considerate.

<Thank you. I hope you can handle the rest efficiently. Also, there’s one more thing that I’d like to relay.>

“What is it?”

<The contribution for getting rid of the monster’s main body shouldn’t solely come to me, but also to a D ranked Hero called Ironman. If he wasn’t there, I would have never been able to catch the monster, and the situation would’ve been completely different from what it is now.>

“D rank Hero, Ironman?”

JooHyuk Park asked back as if he couldn’t understand. Without exaggerating or making things up, Haneul relayed everything that happened from the Hospital until now.

<If Ironman didn’t have such an outstanding ability, we may have lost the monster. His ability is amazing. I keep questioning if he really is just an ordinary D rank Hero. I hope the Director can make the judgment on that. That is all I have to say. Goodbye……>

“Wait, wait a minute!”

However, Silver Knight’s voice couldn’t be heard anymore.

Everyone in the situation room had a blank face. If everything that Silver Knight had said was the truth, Ironman’s contribution was shocking. Being able to figure out who the monster was, even when it was in a different appearance, and chasing after the monster. It was quite a big contribution that Ironman had made.

“He definitely said Ironman a little while ago, right? Bring his detailed info up onto the screen.”

“Yes, sir!”

Soon after, Ironman’s real name came up through the Hero Management List.

His face, his rank, his magic capacity, and many other information was shown. Looking at the figures, there was nothing much to look at.

“However, it didn’t seem like he was lying. Most of all, from my recollection, I know that Ironman didn’t have an amazing detecting ability?”

“Yes, that’s right. His talent is mediocre, and with his recent routine checkup, there was no difference to his numbers.”

“I don’t think Silver Knight would lie about something that can be easily exposed.”

Joo Hyuk thought for a moment.

Internally, the Earthquake has proceeded to the next phase, so no one knew what would happen in the future. If so, the Hero Organization had to respond to Heroes in a different way.

“Summon Ironman to the Organization and have him retake his checkup.”

“But, looking at the renewal list data, he has taken his routine checkup prior to his half year mark.”

“You think I don’t know that? The important thing is that we figure out the changes that happened to him within the timespan, prior to his last checkup.”

JooHyuk felt doubtful, however, Silver Knight’s words stuck to him. It made him feel that he should look into this matter at least once.

“Understood, sir.”

“Putting that aside, let’s focus on the matter at hand. Thanks to Silver Knight’s performance, we were able to get past the dangerous point, but the situation isn’t over yet. Send the rescue team and doctors over to the scene, and have everyone else on standby.”

“Yes, sir!”

Joohyuk closed his eyes, and as if he just remembered something, he raised his head up.

“Oh yeah, also, I’m sure we were able to capture a footage of that red pillar of flame. How much longer until we get an exact number on it?”

“We’re currently working on it right now. I’m afraid it will take a few more hours until we have an answer for you, sir.”

“Good, then let me know as soon as you get the results.”

At that moment, a call arrived from the scene.

“Headquarters. Forensics? This isn’t the time to hear the results of……….. What does that mean? Report properly. Are you saying that the body is reviving?”

The situation was finishing up, so what was going on.

JooHyuk frowned.

“Connect the line to me.”

“Yes, sir.”

“Director JooHyuk here. What were you saying?”

<The corpse of the host body that Silver Knight killed is having a strange phenomenon.>

“Tell me in detail.”

<The corpse is of a 20 something year old female with her limbs torn apart, and the shape of her body is completely distorted. But, surprisingly, its cells are starting to regenerate, noticeable to the eyes, and it’s really fast.>

“Is there any danger to it?”

<No, sir. Although its cells seem to be regenerating, its body is so thoroughly destroyed that it won’t be able to function as a living organism.>

JooHyuk’s eyes grew narrow.

It would be best to listen to this in more detail, so he gave out an order to a different state of affairs agent.

“Connect me to Ironman this instant.”

<Director, what should we do about the corpse? The forensics team is currently excited, because of this special corpse. If we take it to the lab, we should be able to figure some things out through it.>

“Understood. Make sure you confine the body well, and bring it over to the HQ’s lab.”

<Yes, sir!>
