“Wow, don’t move!!”
The man hurriedly took out the gun he had kept in the drawer and aimed it at Seonghyeon.
“right. Were you here in America?”
I was a little surprised to see the gun, but it wasn’t because I felt that my safety was threatened.
It was also something that was rarely seen on a regular basis, and low-level hunters were also killed by gunshots.
“Don’t move! outside! Come on…”
I thought that if only the hunter who was waiting outside would come in, I would be able to subdue the man in front of me in an instant, but that was just an illusion.
The man approached his eyes in an instant and lightly touched the gun with his finger.
It was a finger pointing so light that it looked like he was really touching it, but the part the man’s finger touched evaporated as if it had exploded.
“Hey, what is this…”
“Calm down for now. I want to talk to you.”
Did he have a choice in the first place?
Numerous ways to respond now came to mind, but none of them could be chosen.
“Daddy, talk…? What the…”
The man was quick to grasp the situation.
The movement that the man in front of him had just seen was not at a level that he, of course, the hunters waiting here could handle.
‘Hey, who the hell are you?’
He couldn’t recognize his face by covering his face with a hood, but looking back at the words he muttered, he didn’t seem like an American.
“Would you like to sit down?”
“…I do.”
It seemed that the owner of this room had already passed.
The president, who was about to take a seat following Sung-hyun’s guidance, immediately looked back at the hand on his shoulder, startled.
“Do it respectfully.”
“…Yes. That’s right.”
Seonghyeon, who sat in the chair very naturally, looked at the president and said.
“I recently heard that the flooding first-class gate beasts will do a tourism business…”
“Hey, how do you do that!!”
The information was kept strictly secret, but the president could not hide his embarrassment as this unidentified man who had never heard of it knew it.
“It doesn’t matter what I know. However, how I know it might be a little more important.”
“…”
The president swallowed dry saliva at Seong-hyeon’s words that he had an information network.
“Wow, what do you want? If it’s an investment, other than this way…”
“Isn’t it not an investment, so why not use this method?”
“If you’re trying to tell me to give up…”
The president sent a ghastly look to Seong-hyeon for a moment, but, of course, Seong-hyun didn’t even move.
It’s just a cute reaction, like seeing the angry expression of a five-year-old child.
“You must have prepared a lot, and you must have stabbed me here and there, but if I suddenly show up and tell you to give up, whoever will do it. would you like to hear me?”
“Hmmmm…”
Generally speaking, if you were a strong hunter, you didn’t care about these things, so the president sighed in relief because he thought the conversation would still work.
“No, then you can come in through the front door, but you have to open the window…”
Although he expressed his dissatisfaction, it was inevitable that he would withdraw in front of the strong man, so the president’s back words gradually became blurry and he could not hear it at all.
The president quickly changed the topic because it seemed like he was going to ask again what Seong-hyeon had said.
“Once you know what you want…”
“During the redevelopment of the area, didn’t you purchase all the surrounding commercial areas?”
“…Yes? Of course, it is a necessary process.”
“But I thought that the price was a little, or not, a lot cheaper.”
“Did you know that too?”
The boss quickly shook his head.
Except for that one store, the owners of other stores accepted their offer as they were, although there was a way to bargain.
It was concluded that it was not because of the continuous flooding of the first-class gates, but rather to hire this man in front of him.
“Well, just give them a little bit of the money they get…what does that mean?”
“As you are a person who runs a company, you are quick to notice.”
“Haha, we have to live with our eyes. Ability is always second.”
The boss quickly shook his head.
How much money did this man get?
It was not negligible to give the store owners a reasonable level of money.
In that case, if you give this man more money than they gave him, wouldn’t this man have a chance to save his money as well?
‘okay. This is an opportunity.’
A golden opportunity that came directly from an unexpectedly strong hunter, rather than a variable with unexpected money.
“Perhaps…”
“Until there.”
“Yes?”
“I don’t know if I’ll be dogmatic if I say the next thing.”
There was no way Seong-hyeon was unaware of the president’s thoughts.
He had already acted so that the man’s thoughts reached in the direction that Seong-hyun expected, so the outcome that would come after that had already been decided.
“Oh, and you asked me to come through the front door earlier, didn’t you?”
“Yes? Oh yes, yes. he did haha. But that doesn’t mean anything else…”
“tomorrow afternoon. I will come through the front door.”
“Tomorrow?”
“yes. tomorrow. to the door you mentioned. And I’d appreciate it if you would refrain from appearing around me until I’m all done talking to you.”
The president looked into Seonghyeon’s eyes for a moment and then turned away.
I was convinced that the opponent was hiding something, but I had no idea whether the hidden number was a dangerous number or a beneficial number.
“Then tomorrow…”
After thinking for a while, he spoke up, but Sunghyun had already disappeared.
“Ha…is this giving me a choice?”
The first option I got from this man.
That was the way to greet the man who would come the next morning.
If it was difficult to bear even this slight loss, he would gather more people to meet the man, and even if he took a small loss, he would prepare to proceed with the man’s request in order to eliminate the risk.
“after…”
The boss took a deep breath and said.
“outside. Come in.”
But no one responded to the boss’s words.
“Why are you so quiet?”
The president, who sat on the sofa to deal with Sung-hyun, returned to his seat and checked the CCTV.
“…Wow, what…”
There was only one screen left on the CCTV screen, and the rest were all black screens.
What you see on the one remaining screen is none other than your own subordinates.
It wasn’t a large number, but they had their own mercenary life and experience in dealing with magical beasts, but they were all dealt with while talking to Seonghyeon.
“…that was an illusion.”
Even thinking that I was given a choice was a mistake.
I didn’t ask for much, and I didn’t greedy for what I couldn’t have.
just a choice.
The feeling of being deprived of even the will to make a decision was utterly miserable.
“haha. Is that so?”
After that, I knew now.
What purpose did that man and Sung-hyun come to today for?
The situation was exactly the same as when he met the shopkeepers in the area he was redeveloping.
An offer you can’t refuse.
An attitude that gives you options that you can’t choose, and that this is your choice, so you have to bear it.
It was the first time I felt it myself, so it was quite interesting, but it was a feeling I never wanted to feel again.
The president sat in a chair with a CCTV screen and kept smoking until his subordinates woke up.
——————————————–
the next morning.
Sung-hyun went straight to the American Association.
“welcome!”
Since Seong-hyeon was already treated like a hero in the United States, the scene of bowing politely from the entrance was unfolding.
“Nice to meet you.”
Seong-hyeon handed a hand to the bodyguard who greeted him, and the bodyguard held his hand as if it was an honor.
“No.”
“Yes?”
I didn’t know much about the United States, but I knew for Sung-hyun that the United States did not have a very rigid formality in hierarchical relations.
‘Well, it doesn’t mean that this person is lower than me.’
Seonghyeon, who had held hands as if to shake hands, grabbed each other’s hands and lifted them up, bumping each other’s shoulders.
“then. take care.”
“Oh, yes!”
The reason Sunghyun came to the association today was simple.
Yesterday, I made a strong statement on the boss, so I’m sure he’ll do something.
It didn’t matter if I pressed it with force, but this place was truly American land.
In addition, the president of the American Association had to listen to Seong-hyeon, so there was no need to use his own strength.
“No, Hunter Kim Seong-hyun? What happened to the association at such an early hour…”
Seong-hyeon, who faced the president of the association on his way to work, went straight to the president’s office with the president.
“Are there any famous people in the association? The face is well known.”
“Oh, yes. Sure.”
The president of the association stood still and continued the conversation as he saw Seong-hyeon bringing up the main point without sitting down.
“Is the most famous person you can accompany me after lunch today?”
“If it’s Hunter Kim Seong-hyun’s request, he will take care of emptying the full schedule. You may not know, but among the members of the association, there are people who have received the grace of Hunter Kim Seong-hyun.”
“Then, after lunch, please send someone to my hotel. It’s not a big deal, and it won’t take long.”
The president of the association responded with a smile to Seong-hyun’s words.
“It’s okay if it’s a big deal, and it doesn’t matter if it takes a long time. Of course, you have to give it back.”
Seong-hyeon also burst into laughter at the sight of the president of the association.
He is a person who has his own weaknesses, but he doesn’t seem to be dealing with it as hard as I thought, so it was nice to see him.
“then. please.”
If it was a different person, I had to ask and find out why I needed a person and where I was going to accompany him.
Richie and other hunters were also included, but when a really big accident occurred, Seonghyeon was the only hunter with the ability to cope with all variables.
A hunter as strong as a lich had the ability to block the process leading to the worst, but he lacked the ability to twist the worst outcome itself.
Because there were things that couldn’t be undone.
On the other hand, Seong-hyeon’s ability to block the process like these, along with the other abilities mentioned above, was unique.
Today’s association president’s decision was not because Seong-hyeon had his own weakness, but was also a reasonable decision when looking at Seong-hyeon from the point of view of a hunter.
“In a way, it might be better to catch a weakness.”
If it wasn’t, maybe he himself was aiming for Seonghyeon like the now-disappeared vice president.
And I wouldn’t have had the same result.
The president of the association, who looked at Seong-hyeon’s back as he left the association building without any regrets as if there was nothing to do, immediately called someone.
“Who is the most famous person in the association right now?”
There were some famous people, and the president of the association chose the one with the least schedule and set today’s schedule instead.
