Return of the Sword God-Rank Civil Servant

"Yes, Hunter An Su-ho."

Prosecutor Kim Seung-hwan answered the phone promptly.

“Are you busy?”

"Haha, with someone like you backing me, I should always be busy. But I'm never too busy to take your call, Hunter An."

“Haha, your tone has gotten much softer since the last time we spoke. By the way, did you see the news?”

“Yes, I was actually about to call and check in on you, but it seems you beat me to it. Though, I doubt this call is just a friendly chat. What’s the reason for it?”

As expected, Kim Seung-hwan’s instincts were sharp.

Su-ho chuckled. “It’s time to remove Pi Seong-yeol.”

“Already?”

“With public sentiment tilting in our favor, now is the perfect time to tie things together and make an impactful move.”

“Well, that does make sense, but… You do know I’m still stationed at the Suwon Prosecutor’s Office, right? And we haven’t captured everyone tied to the evidence you gave me.”

“I didn’t expect you to handle everything in just a few days. But you’ve certainly made a name for yourself at Suwon, haven’t you?”

Su-ho had already done his homework. Kim Seung-hwan, once politically sidelined to Suwon, was now wielding his authority like a sword, tirelessly prosecuting cases with impressive precision. Despite his sudden resurgence, no one viewed him negatively—it wasn’t infighting but simply a man doing his job diligently.

“Well, that’s true, but… wasn’t the plan to proceed once I returned to Seoul?”@@novelbin@@

“No.”

“What?”
