1 mc was involved in a heated team conflict. although it was not clear what the reason and cause was. it was leaked to the nedia that mc went berserk and beat a leader of a department in the association, park geungtae. add to that, the relatice of the leader mc beat up, leaked it to the media. mc have done many things tonget to where he is. and with one single incident, the positive he has turned to negative. while mc is going back with chief lee, supposed adviser or superior of mc, they were suddenly ambushed. although mc was overpowwring them, he was competely no match vs the weapon used against the dungeon monsters. mc is killed. afterward, he unlocks a hidden skill, karma. mc is sent back 10 years ago with a role as a cleaner.

2 mc finds himself in his younger self but due to his karma skill, instead of a hunter, he became a cleaner. he checked his status window find the karma skill has a conditions. mc could go back in time before he died if he could meet the condition of becoming a secretary general of the association in 5 years or else, the hunter kim ju woo will totally ceased to exists. mc decides to not undertake it, he felt it was impossible for him to be the secretary general. instead he decide to become a hunter again. when he check his skills, he finds his hunter skills are locked. instead he get cleaner skills. as mc. ponders what to do, he gets a call from park geuntae, he was concerned about mc and also tells mc to come to work. mc goes to work. all the while, he is contemplating of how different his life was from being rich to now poor and what had happened before his death. mc remembers what happened between park geungtae and him. it was about the employees who will be sacked. mc requested it, park geungtae asked mc for reconaideration, mc felt his job as a hunter is superior over the cleaners, park geungtae couldn't take the insults mc hurled at him, park geungtae held mc by his collar. mc retaliated and threw park geungtae to the wall. back in the cleaner mc, after arriving in the destination, park geungtae waves at mc welcoming him back for the cleaner job.

3 mc meets up with the cleaning team 3, there were 4 of them, mc is the fifth member.  they only have less than an hour to finish their task. before they could start, mc asks what cleaners actually does. cleaners actually clean the dungeons. the dungeons do not disappear permanently but closest and opens back up. dead monsters inside will pile up and will cause toxic gas to accumulate which is dangerous to the hunters. the cleaners have to clean those up so when hunters once again enter they are safe from those microscopic harms. the cleaning team was angry at mc at first as mc tries telling the team what he knows about the dungeon. their team got lost. mc urged the team to leave before the dungeon close. park geungtae says otherwise. they do not care whether they get trapped inside until the dungeon reopens, so long as they could finish their task. suddenly, somehow mc felt like helping and he took the lead. they arrived at the boss room as fast as possible. but before they could start with their task, the boss they thought were subjugated, suddenly wakes up.

4 it was only rigor mortis. suddenly one of the cleaner insults mc. mc did not like it so he immediately took charge of the boss dismantling. they praised mc for it. somehow mc felt good but soon realized it was all disappointing since he was once a hunter and now he's a cleaner. on their way back, mc got caught in the blood adhesive of the boss monster. mc felt the team would leave him behind as was his motto back when he was a hunter. sure enough, oark geungtae stayed with mc until the last second and they got out of the dungeon safely right before it closed. after the first dungeon they had to do five more. the cleaner team only have 25 people in the division. so they are usually overwork. at the end of the day, mc was ask to join by oark geungtae to eat out, it was his treat. mc declines. he has a lot of things to think about. his first thought was removing park geungtae as a suspect for who killed him. it was no used thinking of those who killed him since now he's cleaner, he has no connection with them. mc wants to get his hunter skills back. he checks his status window and saw unlock conditions for his hunter skills. it was all very hard to get and it was all cleaning. mc cleans his room and he unlocks a new skill, hyper boost.

5 mc checks some of his skills some where relatively easier to unlock. mc thinks of contacting his team member but chose otherwise. when mc got to the dungeon, park geungtae is out buying solution, one of their member is out for the day and the dungeon is not yet cleared. when the hunters get out, mc saw one of his former subordinate, kim minju. she hated mc very much but it was because mc was only concern about her. when they enter the dungeon, mc have just realized his knowledge of the dungeon is a blessing to their cleaning. while they clean the boss room, mc wonders why a b rank hunter like kim minji had taken their time and struggled with a low grade dungeon. mc event says kim minju, if not fornthe injiry she had, was far more capable with the swords than mc. mc saw the blade marks on the boss monster

6 after a while, mc bumps with kim minju once more. mc remembers the past. the injury she had sustaines was from mc's harsh leadership. mc overworked her to the point she broke her shoulder. it was mc who caused her to break. feeling the guild of it. cleaner mc reach out to kim minju and told her of advice regarding her sword stance and have herself be medically examined. kim minju went to the doctors and everything cleaner mc told were true even the advice she got from cleaner mc was also suggested by the doctor. after a day of dungeon cleaning, mc finds kim minju waiting for him outside.

7 at first kim minju thought mc to a stalker or a spy because he knows about her swords stance. then mc explains what how concluded things based on what he observed in the boss room kim minju was delighted to hear everythinf and even thought of mc as a free lance hunter. mc leaves her but she insisted mc to teach her swordsmanship. she event went to her team leader, lee sooyoung to ask for a leave. the team leader, found out what kim minju was planning. somehow this small incident caused one of mc's locked ability to unlock. the condition met was interest in the dungeon cleaners among the association had risen, mc acquires a defense skill, counter. also kim minju, a hunter, is helping out in the cleaning team. kim minju asks mc to teach her swordsmanship, mc agrees if she's willinf to help with the cleaning duty. mc thought she would and it ended up like that. somehow, one of the cleaner team, mun soyeun, is shipping mc and kim minju. or rather she is jealous.

8 as mc teaches kim minju about cleaning, park geuntae praises mc. this somehow made mc felt at ease but suddenly realizing he has fallen so low, it removes all his good feels. later on, soyeun had a 1 on 1 chat with kim minju, she thought the two of them are in a relationshiop, kim minji denies it. kim minju also realizes mun soyeon's feelings towards mc. as mun soyeon tells her more about mc, and his dungeon knowledge, kim minju is even more determined to have him teach her. kim minju also told about the hierarchical scheme of the association and how corrupt it was. something the cleaning team is truly free of. somehow, the two became friends. when thet got to the boss room. mun soyeun have been showing delayed reactions or tiredness. they then discuss of the weak conditions of their equipments. once they enter the boss room, the boss is ultra poisonous, mc also claimed once you get afflicted, you're a goner. soon after, mun soyeun collapsed.

9 mun soyeon collapsed. the crew found her equipment malfunctioned as well a torn on her suit. mc knew of the time limit until mun soyeon dies. he wanted to give up but mc asked kim minju to attack him. upon being strike, mc actives his passive hyper boost, which is just the required skill to quickly save mun soyeon. mc in a blink of an eye took mun soyeon to the hospital. after the incident, the team talked about the equipments of the cleaners. mc was most angry at it. park geuntang, the team leader tells them he'll try to do somerhing about their equipments. mc remembers an unlock condition for a skill by getting a raise on the cleaner's budget. as mc leaves, the rest of the crew, talked about how great mc was even for a cleaner. park geuntang even tells kim minju that mc should move up. somehow, kim minju made a suggestion that made a deep misunderstanding about mc. kim minju tells that mc, despite all his skills, deliberately chose to work as a cleaner and because he does not want to go with the flow of the hierarchic system in the association and rather, mc thinks highly of the cleaners and the team, he became a cleaner. the crew praises mc for this misunderstanding of him. mc heads to the association to report.

10 mc went directly to the branch director, seo mincheol, for a budget increase. after a but of convo and a possible bit of blackmailing. the director gives in to the demand of mc having a budget increase. before mc leaves, the branch director seo mincheol asks mc about kim minju. upon confirming the connection between mc and the hunter, branch director report this to hunter team 1 leader, lee sooyoung. branch director even felt mc as a torn on their side for knowing some of their corporate secret. somehow, hunter team1, lee sooyoung felt a beef with the cleaners that he has plans vs the cleanets. next day, a letter from the association, was sent to the cleanet team. it was a warning saying that the accident was not cause by equipment malfunction by the employee's negligence. the raise mc requested was cancelled. the cleaner crew was fine with it but it was not for mc because it's a condition for unlocking his skill. although, the crew showed more respect towards mc because of him reporting the incident and on his own requesting the raise. upon hearing this, kim minju tells mc it might have something to do with her. she tells mc that she took her leave to join the cleaners crew, upon their team leader learning of this, he somehow sees it as insulting. upon learning who their hunter team leader mc, mc knew who is dealing with. lee sooyoung/suyong before they could start with their cleaning, mc tells park geuntang that he'll be taking his leave for the day. later on, somewhere in the city, a dungeon suddenly opened up, mc was there.

11 mc cleared 4 dungeons in the span of two days. whem mc went back to work after, hunter team1 leader lee suyoung was there to check up on the cleaning teams work. somehow, he suspects it was mc who did the dungeon intercepts. he event went on to ask the cleaning crew and kim minju about any info about a culprit that have been clearing dungeons for two days. he also said of a possible reward for such info. mc knew it was over for him when suddenly the cleaning team made lies about mc and secured him an alibi for his two day leave. later on, hunter team1 leader reports his suspicion of mc to the branch director. but the branch director that they should give in with the demands of the cleaning team about the budget increase. somehow, the branch director felt the authenticity of mc's capabilities or something.

12 the branch director tells lee suyong that an anonymous donation is being sent to the cleaning team with all the dungeons that was intercepted. the convo between the lee suyong and seo mincheol led them to misunderstanding mc. they fear that mc is an insider from the top executives of the main association. a person with a capability of reaching the higher up with his ability alone, staying in the lowest division and also knowledgeable of company secrets, seo mincheol suggests that they should not mess around with mc. later on, the cleaning team gets a new supplies and equipments as well a letter of approval for the cleaning team budget increase. the cleaner crew somehow felt grateful towards mc. kim minju requested that she and mc alone do the supply transfer. although park geuntang was hesitant about it, kim minju insisted. mc has no say for this matter. kim minjue asks mc if he was the one who did the dungeon intercepts, mc did not deny it. kim minju says he'll support mc all the way. although mc is actually doing all the stuffs he did so he could gain back his locked skills so he could move to the hunter team, kim minju as well the cleaner team misunderstands mc wanting to stay in cleaning team despite his skills to be a hunter. kim minju promises to support mc to stay in the cleaning team if in case the association discovers his actual talents. mc unlocks hellfire magic. later on, although the budget increase was settled, the cleaner team is still in the bad side of the hunter team. when the cleaner team enters a dungeon, they saw slanderous messages on the wall and deliberately messed up stuffs that would mean more work for the cleaner team. although the some of the cleaner was angry at it, mc tells them to ignore it as it will end in soon. it did not end and it just continued. the hunters were even asked if the cleaners have proof it was them. the cleaner team wanted to report it but mc orders them to leave it. he will take care of it on his own. mc burst in to the association seol branch.

13 somehow, the whole mess was when kim minju scolded low rank hunters in front kf the cleaners when they were insulting the latter. after the budget increase, mc tells kim minju ti not come anymore but he did give her plans in order for her to become stronger. after kim minju stop coming, the slander on the walls, messy and deliberately dirtied up dungeons and increased in the cleaners work loaded started to happen. mc went to the culprit hunters and beat the shit out of them. mc tries blackmailing them and suddenly hunter team1 leader lee suyong appears. he shows great respect towards mc. mc did not expect this, mc totally did nit expect the change in attitude of lee suyong. mc tells lee suyong what the hunters did. the culprit hunters tries telling that mc lied and that mc beat them up. lee suyong took mc's side and reprimanded the two hunters. later on, mc tells what happened to kim minju. she tells mc that the two hunters got fired.

14 mc was surptised to learn the two hunters were fired because of him. next time they went with their work, the hunters treated them with great respect and even cleaned up most of the dungeon before the cleaners even went in. han sanhyuk, one of the cleaners inquires mc's possible connection to the higher ups that made this sudden change of heart towards the cleaners. mc dismisses this. meanwhile, hunter team2 leader lim dong bin, an associate of hunter team1 leader lee suyong, inquires him lee suyong about his wariness towards the cleaner. he then proposes that he will do something about it in exchange of dungeon rights and lending his team kim minju. desparate, lee suyong agrees with his conditions. lim dong bin plans to implicate the cleaners. while mc is checking on his locked skill, kim minju calls mc. she tells mc that she had been selected as the raid leader for a multi dungeon and the cleaning team were also asked to join during the raid. during the briefing of the raid, the hunters are showing this dismay that the cleaners are on it. when the hunter team 2 leader, mc was surprised. it was lim dong bin, back when mc was still a hunter, he was the person who stole some if his achievements. mc warns kim minju to be wary if lim dong bin.

15 as the briefing goes on, hunter team 2 leader lim dong bin suddenly asks the cleaners for their cooperation. although park geuntang voiced his affirmation and despite being an unlock condition of one of mc's skill, mc suddenly spoke and denies their participation. afterward, as the cleaning team discusses mc's call. the cleaner team misunderstands mc and says that mc had evaluated and thought things through in the benefit of the cleaner team. somehow, this made everyone in the cleaner team 3 respect mc even more. kim minju, who was supposed to be the leader for the raid back out since mc told her to not get involved with lim dong bin. few days later, using the mandatory participation of the association, the cleaners and even kim minju was forced to join the raid. the cleaner team 3 was obliged to participate. kim minju was disappointed and disheartened by this participation. mc was okay with things, he even encourage kim minju to be a good leader for the raid.

16 after starting with the work inside the multi dungeon, they were things as how they usually do. but despite having a manageable start, with a long continuous work and loads, the cleaning team found it hard to keep up. mc went to hunter team 2 leader lim dong bin to request a pause for the raid. but lim dong bin denies it he even tried to interfere mc from speaking with the raid leader. suddenly, mc found out what lim dong binnwas planning. with the cleaning team failing to keep up, he will report that the cleaners have quit during the operation thus sanctioning them for a disciplinary penalty. lim dong bin calls kim minju to pass the role of leader to him. mc spoke out loud to kim minju and voice his concern for everyone. having faith with mc and the constant urges of lim dong bin to pass command, kim minju passed the command to mc. mc becames the raid leader.

17 with mc taking command, he used his disciplinary action and excluded lim dong bin from the operation, he also excluded team b and c for not obeying his orders. he took command and even though mc's is not where kim minju is, his guidance significantly help them vs the monsters team a were currently facing. the excluded team were in awe as mc orders the other team only using the walki talkie and the feedback from the victorious result. suddenly, kim minju's team a hit a wal and could not beat a boss monster, mc on his own, went to the area and easily defeat the boss monster kim minju's team a was having a hard time. kim minju tells everyone who saw mc's feat to keep what just showed a secret, this is part of her misunderstanding as well the rest if the cleaner team3, mc wanted to stay in cleaner team 3 and that's why no one must know of how strong mc is.

18 afterward, the raid for the multi dungeon was a success but the headline of the media was lom dong bin's exclusion from the operation and his various business scandals in the association. branch director seo mincheol reprimanded lim dong bin and days later, he and his team got demoted. kim minju got promoted and became a hunter team leader. as the cleaner team congratulates kim minju from her promotion, mc hides his jealousy. kim minju became a team leader earlier than when mc was when he was a hunter. then when kim minju's team arrived they showed great respect towards the cleaner team. they lso heard that an assistant for kim minju will be arriving. mc remembers his chief assistant back when he was still a hunter, chief lee, the one who was with mc when he got killed. mc was somehow expectant of chief lee to arrive. when the cleaner team decides to leave to not over stay, mc saw the assistant of kim minju, he was disappointed she wasn't chief lee, she was song hye yeon. later on, song hye yeon meets up with deputy assistant lee ah young, they about kim minju's connection to the cleaners as well mc's rumored connection with the higher ups executives and his feats. she seemed to be interested with mc.

19 as cleaner team 3, goes on with their work, mc questions why kim minju a hunter team leader as well some hunters helping them clean the dungeon. kim minju's main objective was to get advice for mc regarding her team's month dungeon raid quota, she was being harassed by the higher up by making their goal steeper with a few members in her team. mc helps her out by giving her advice. when mc tells kim minju to leave since she got what she wanted, kim minju ask mc if he's uncomfortable with her being around. mc pointd out at the assistant song hye yeon staring at him. kim minju had a misunderstanding that the two knew each other and were ex-es. mc denies it. after sending song hye yeon away, kim minju tells mc that someone from the support team inquired her about out and said person wants to meet with mc. mc have a hunch that he might be being investigate because of hia various involvement vs the other hunter team. next day, an issue happened in a dungeon that the team 3 cleaners was assigned. a civilian kid entered a dungeon and was attacked by a monster, branch director seo mincheol reprimands mc and kim minju for the accident. mc then took the responsibility and claimed it was him and him alone who made a mistake and have cause the accident. he asked the branch director to give him a seat for the public press conferrence so he will speak out. although kim minju wanted to defend mc and even went on to suggest it was a set up, mc says that they should let mc handle it. mc's main objective for this despite the accident issue, is by unlocking a skill. making the public aware of the cleaning team.

20 hunter team 2, led by kim minju sets out to find evidence to help mc. suddeny lee ayeong appears. she tells them she will help them on the condition kim minju tells everything she knows about mc and if all of the allegation regarding mc is true. when kim minju can't say anything about it, somehow lee ayeong feels intrigued. someone in their rotten to the core company is a good and kind hearted soul trying to fight back vs the system and a team cooperating to save said kind soul. lee ayeong instead asked if kim minju would help her meet mc. and so team 2 with lee ayeong proceeded with their plan ti find evidence to help mc. mc on his way to the press con? suddenly gets a call from mu  soyeon, she tells mc that kim minju is on their way to find evidence to help mc. mc calls kim minju, mc scolds her but let them be since the way things are, mc couldn't convince kim minju. before he hangs up, kim minju tells something about the kid that got involved in the accident. mc hits his head in the pavement to activate his hyperboost skill and zoomed. meanwhile, in the hospital where the kid involved in the accident is confined, lee ayeong speaks with the family member of the kid. somehow its revealed the family member has beef with mc. the family member is the rude hunter that got fired thanks to mc.

21 mc appears in a parking lot, he spoke with the care owner and destroyed it's blackbox/dash cam. hunter team 2 arrives at the scene and found the blackboxes/dash cams they were after were getting destroyed one after another. back in the hospital, the boy who got into thw accident waa actually a frame up done in by the rude hunter. he was using his brother in order to implicate mc. suddenly mc appear from the window and enters the room. mc had pieced everything together. but as soon as the rude hunter was ready for a fight, mc pat the rude hunter on his shoulder and forgives him and evem went on to advice him to be kind to his younger brother. mc is determined to speak during the conference amd have his skills unlocked. somehow, the way mc spoke with the rude hunter, it came in a kind gesture way. in truth, mc is grateful to the rude hunter for being the one to make the opportunity happen. during the press con. as mc confessed his fault, his team comes and saves him. mc was mad because he did not want his team to get involved. suddenly kim minju appears with the kid who was involved in the accident. the kid tells it was his fault and the cleaners are not to blame. suddenly the rude hunter confessed of what had happened and let himself be taken in for his punishment. the kid understood and parted ways with a smile. meanwhile, due to the flop that happened. mc already ran out of faith for the press con as a he couldn't unlock his next skill.

22 magically enougg, the fourth skill got unlocked. somehow what attracted the most attention and help mc with unlocking his skill was mun soyeon. the viewers peak when they saw her. after getting a call from kim minju, lee ayeong finally gets to meet mc. mc is surprised at first that he's meeting his assistant when he's still a hunter. he can't also deny that she's a suspect to his death. lee ayeong tells mc she'll help her in case mc plans on moving up the corporate leader. she tells mc her disappointment towards the association and she is hoping that mc will be the one to fix the company. mc remembers lee ayeong is the daughter of an executive director lee dushik. in his hunter timeline, the two managed. the company well until a few years after, lee dushik got on the bad side of another higher up, this led the lee dushik getting fired and lee ayeong getting demoted from a support team leader to an assistant. somehow, mc rejects her offer. mc realized that she isn't a suspect in his death but he can't fully trust her yet. back in his job, mc finds out that han sanghyuk took his leave because his sister, a hunter affliated with the international branch of the association have arrive and han sanghyuk is to meet her. they got in with another different person as their fourth member. it was after a while did they realize they do not know who the new person was. he introduced himself gu sangchan, a reporter that will cover the activities of the cleaner team. mc asks if the reporter could write his article in a way that msy encourage people to join the cleaner team. the reporter obliged as he was given the go signal to make an article for them. this is an unlock condition for one of mc's skill, to get a new member to their cleaner team. the reporter scheme was branch director seo mincheol's idea to make the cleaner team look bad to the public.

23 as the reporter continues with his on site feel and investigation, the worst it gets for something good to write about. mc feels it and even the reporter knows it truly. suddenly loed about their pay. with a very hard work, maybe a good pay will balance out the bad. the reporter got convinced. later on, mc went to he branch director to have the entire cleaner team's salary doubled. the branch director tells mc that he must first talk it out with the rest of the board. suddenly, lee dushik burst in the door of the branch director, he wanted to question about an imbalance amount of work load poured mostly to team 1's lee soyoung. instead lee dushik went mc and introduced himself. mc did not want to get involved with them but it sort of just happened. lee dunshik asked mc why he went to the branch director. then lee dunshik tells mc why he went to the branch director. lee dunshik proposes that he will try to help mc's dilemma if he could solve the favoritism towards the hunter team 1. team 1 gets more info in dungeons and thus they get to do more dungeons and with ease. lee dunshik asks mc to help out team 2 in order to balance or even defeat team 1 with regards to raiding. if mc does so, lee dunshik  maybe able to use this achievement and thus guaranteed  to have the salary of the cleaner team be raised. next day, mc calls forth the cooperation of hunter team 2 and cleaner team 3 in order to get rank 1.

24 mc also begged to have lee ayeong to join them with their support team. mc handled all the planning and they went inside dungeons with both hunter and cleaner team, their supplies were provided by the support team. soon after, both the scores of team 1 led by lee soyung and team 2 led by kim minju is at a tie.

25 next day, with the trijoint faction of mc's side the took over first place but the branch director who was trying to catch up made an order to only give permission to team 1 for raids. then the trijoint faction caught wind of uncleaned dungeons left behind by the branch director's supporter hunter team 1. in the end, mc had to give up for the race to top of the ranking in order to clean up the mess left behind by the branch director's faction. mc had lee ayeonf report this to lee dushik. lee dushik heads to report to the main branch as well the disciplinary committee of what the branch director's faction have been doing.

35 in han yubin's side, she is getting beat up as she noticed the usa team is hardly backing her. she then let's out her ultimate skill or something, to face off vs the boss. after the both boss got defeated, the success condition got fulfilled. the usa team tells mc's team to head on out as they clean uo the dungeon. mc already knew of their plan as he head out to get to them. back in han yubin's side. the usa team gave totally betrayed the seoul team as jason knocked out mc's team 3 cleaners, mun soyeon and han sanghyuk. as jason was about to kill jan yubin as he ask for the stolen files, mc suddenly appears and disarmed jason while saving han yubin. as jason's team starts to engages mc, chloe of the usa team is more concerned with the knocked out cleaners as she help them back to the sideline. mc uses replica on han yubin's burst and readies to start the show.

36 mc fully using of all his unlocked skill, he easily beat the heck out of the usa team. only chloe was spared. after the beating, he asks the time stone from chloe. chloe obliged. mc tells them that he will talk to han yubin about the file they were originally after and that nothing have actually happened in the dungeon beside a few casualty and the successful raid. after they got mc inquired the files the usa team were asking. after going out of the dungeon, mc asks han yubin about the file the usa team were looking for. han yubin tells it contains files incriminating the usa team with their embezzelment and other scandals within their usa branch. mc remembers how the usa team in his hunter timeline got away from him, he cannot let them escape this time, even in his cleaner timeline. mc took the file and went to reporter go sangchang to give the file and make a report about it. later on, the file about the usa branch scandal soread through the media. jason and his team were sanctioned and sentenced for their crimes. the usa branch apologized for the incident that happened in the dungeon. mc knows that with the success his faction have received, the enemy faction within their seoul branch will be making a move vs them to try and steal the spotlight. mc visits kim minju in the hospital. he remembers that it will be the second time he meet her in a hospital, the first one was during his hunter timeline. this time, kim minju was happy to see mc to visit her. mc praises her and tells her to go for a leave as she rest. she even handed her a compensation for what had happened to her during the the raid. mc also asked her to retake the hunter exam as she had awakened and so her rank must also increase. kim minju felt elated as she hides her face from mc. mc leaves as executive director lee donshik calls for him.

37 with the headlines regarding mc and the cleaner team spread as well the success he got. mc unlocks two new skills, ultrasecond flying swordsmanship and summoning the otherworld (figuration: uriel), with conditions of salary increase and making cleaner a preferred job by public. mc heads to lee doshik's office. he is led by lee ayeong. mc askslee ayeong about his request regarding the casualties that happened in the dungeon. lee ayeong affirms mc that they have compensated the families as per mc's requests. lee ayeong praises mc's administrative determination to come clean and be a good boss and she also warns him that as he gain in popularity, people in the corporate will be eyeing him with intent beside goodness. in lee doshik office, the executive board tells mc that the higher ups wanted to sack mc as he broke a connection between their branch and the international branch. lee doshik is just delaying such decision. lee doshik tells mc that they are on the same boat as he also feel the other board members were out to get him as well. lee doshik mentions of the audit team that might come and get them by surprise. lee doshik asks mc to cooperate with him and even offers mc a higher position. mc rejects such proposal of having a higher position but he asks the lee doshik what he had in his mind. the executive board tells mc to talk with the higher up he has in connection with, the chairman himself, to return back to the seoul branch as he had been missing for 3 years. mc was taken aback by such rumor. he just realized that it's this rumor that circulated that have made others wary and respect mc. he thought was just a simple nonesense that hardly anyone believed. mc tells lee doshik he has no affiliation with the missing chairman. this completely shock and shattered lee doshik's plan. he tells mc to not speak of what he had said to anyone else. soon after, during a team meeting for the next operation, mc was once again chosen as the leader. not one team leader opposed. after the meeting peon changhyun, the mediator or head of the planning talked with his assistant regarding the false rumor of mc having a connection with the chairman. unfortunately, hunter team1 leader lee suyong overhears this talk and tells the other  team leader about this.

38 lee suyong tells the branch director seo mincheol about the false rumor of mc's connection to the chairman. he even have files of background check of mc to back up the claims. somehow this got off a torn from his side but he could not beleive they were plaued by a cleaner. the branch director tells lee suyong that they plan on selling the seoul branch to the international association. their problem was that the power of sent was solely given to executive board lee doshik by the missing chairman. they are planning of a way to get lee doshik out so that they could have their way with selling the seoul branch. seo mincheol then calls one of the excutive directoe with regards of the audit team. branch director seo mincheol is planning something vs mc. the audit team thoroughly searched through the files of mc's faction. they all incriminate faults and made sure to put mc's name in the target. kim minju, lee ayeong and even park geuntang, received help and are connected with mc. with all this pointing towards mc, they targetted mc. as soon as mc is caught by the audit, mc already knew the tactic they were doing. he knows exactly how to get into their heads.

39 after mc got out of the confinement they were using to get into mc's head. support team leader lee ayeong scolds mc for not answer her calls. mc tells her that they are out to get himself to quit. this gravely concerned lee ayeong. she says that both kim minju and her are able to go join the guild but the problem will be the others that cannot come with rhem, especially the cleaners. with this bugging his mind, mc calls executive director lee doshik and asks if he's ready for what he has. lee doshik tells mc that whatever it is, he is ready. after hanging up, mc asks lee ayeong if she could accompany her somewhere. he also ask her to dress up. lee ayeong dressed nicely they went to the mountains. lee ayeong was furious at mc for telling her to dress up if they're just going to the mountains. with a pack of noodles in his hands a present, they head up to a secluded house in the mountain. as mc enters, his neck was almost greeted with a sword. mc introduced himself to the missing chairman. the chairman requests them to go away. mc presented the noodles. they are allowed into the house.

40 (that was one heck of a great convo) mc tells the situation that's happeninf in the seoul branch and the plan of the board to sell the company to the international association. as the chairman says that he doesn't care, he telks the chairman to resign if he doesn't care. the chairman says that there was no one worthy. mc tells he should give it to executive board lee doshik. the chairman says that mc just says lee doshik's name because he's promised a higher position. mc tells the truth thay he was promised a position but he rejected it. mc says he planned on quittinf anyway. this surprise lee ayeong. afterward, mc leaves immediately without even having to hear an answer from the chairman. on their way back, lee ayeong inquires mc's decision. she even asked about the team he'll be leaving behind. mc tells his true feelings and said that he do not actually care for them.

41 few days later, mc weny awol or something. mc's faction were being bullied by the rest of the company while those vs mc were enjoying themselves. mc went to check on kim minju. mc noticed the changed in attitude of the other employees towards him, even the hunters that were respectful towards mc is turning away from him. kim minju was in a bad mood. the audit team was harassing them before mc arrives at kim minju's office. kim minju was sad with what was happening and blames herself for not doing anything for mc. mc then hands her a note that contains guide for dungeon that will appear until rhe next year. it was his farewell gift for her. this surprised kim minjum suddenly, lee ayeong bursts in the office of kim minjum she was looking for mc and tells them that a board meeting was called. they planned on dismissing the awol chairman and the retirement of executive board lee doshik. the board meeting went with the plan of song cheolsik, who is actually the one pulling the string as well the one planned to replace the chairman. but before their plan proceed, chairman park inbeom arrives. he says a cleaner went to him and told him that some bastards were making a mess of his company.

42 with the rumors going around vs mc, it was no surprised that even the team 6 cleaners were asking han yubin to no longer get involved with mc and his team. but this did not sit well for han yubin. han yubin is grateful to what he did vs the usa team when no one else would help her. she reprimands her team members and tells them to go fuck themselves as she takes care of the rest on her own. mc went on ahead with his life as a cleaner but apparently the others in the company with regards to mc losing his claim as connected to the chairman (he never claimed it to begin with) have treated the cleaner team with the discrimination they had before. they cannot even get to eat in the cafeteria. lee suyong finds mc and his team and invites them to his tables. lee suyong insults them. suddenly chairman park inbeom appears behind him and slapped lee suyong straight in the face. he bid his farewell to mc and tells mc to come visit him for lunch if he got time. what actually happened was while the shit that have been happening to the cleaner teams, the board meeting was held. this caused the faction vs mc felt like power tripping. but during the meeting, the chairman suddenly arrives. he vetoed the decisions of the board and appoints lee doshik as the new chairman. somehow, mc is aware this would happen while the rest did not know. (the board meeting scene is totally hilarious)
