23 – The Saint’s Threat [EPISODE – 1]
platform.
After [Frozen Heart] of Yoo Eun-ha, the currently unrivaled No. 1 guild, was ruined.
There are three guilds that form a large force.
One of them is the [Cult], a guild led by Reitana, who is ranked 5th in S rank and has the nickname of a saint.
The official purpose of the church is that everyone live happily ever after.
If you put a more detailed purpose, it is a good guild that aims to save the weak, realize justice, and enforce evil.
Therefore, the popularity of the church among ordinary citizens cannot be ignored.
However, this is only an appearance.
No matter how good the business is, such as welfare projects, donation events, and relays of love, that is not the true face of the church.
Among the people who work as hunters, this is information that very few people know.
I know the truth of the Order because I know because I worked as manager of the guild leader Eunha Yoo in the Hunter Guild #1 [Frozen Heart].
Church truth.
In the front, it is a church that perfectly created an image, but in the back, it never refuses to do various degrading things.
Moreover, if it was for the growth of the [Cult], he would use any means and methods.
Debt, gambling, human trafficking, etc. It is the church that does a lot of really bad things.
Because of that, the Order dominates gangsters and gangsters and manages them as they please.
‘As expected, everything was done by Reitana.’
I had no confirmation of the series of events, but in fact I may have been vaguely aware.
Gangsters and gangs, because they are all under the control of the [Cult].
There are some people who don’t, but most of the gate accidents are related to the church.
That’s why I hate Reitana very much.
Eun-ha Yoo called the saintess, Reitana, a ‘middle-aged’, and I don’t have a very good impression of Reitana either.
In the past, we had played raids together as party members a few times, and we talked, but that was all.
Right now, Reitana and I have nothing to do with each other.
“Get out of here right now.”
Park Jin-ha started spewing out his life at Reitana.
The sword was not drawn, but it was an obvious hostile act.
“Ms. Jinha. I don’t know what you’re misunderstanding, but it’s a misunderstanding…”
Seeing Park Jin-ha like that, Reitana gave a nice smile.
As if he really doesn’t know why, he puts his finger on his cheek and makes an innocent expression.
“Are you saying that to me after doing all those things?”
“What are you talking about? I really don’t know…”
“You tried to kidnap my brother until now, you did it all. I felt your power in the people who attacked me.”
“Oh… it can’t be. You must have misunderstood.”
Contrary to Park Jin-ha, who stood guard, Laytana, who had a gentle expression as if she loved peace, exchanged conversations without progress.
And in the midst of such a lackluster conversation, Reitana made an offer as if she had been waiting for it.
“But, Miss Jinha. If you’re worried about an attack, there’s a way. That’s a problem that will be resolved once you join the Church.”
In short, this is what Reitana wants to say the most, and the recruitment of Park Jin-ha is what she wants the most.
“The church will protect you. Miss Jinha is welcome.”
Reitana smiled and held out her hand to Park Jin-ha.
From the outside, it felt as if a saintess was reaching out to help someone in need.
“I’ve said it several times, but I never go in. Go now.”
However, that is absolutely not the hand of salvation.
Park Jin-ha knew that, so he only glared at Reitana, but did not hold her hand.
“Is that so? It’s a pity. But, next time we meet, I think Jinha-san will say she’ll come in first. Huhu.”
“It never happened.”
“No. That will never happen. Because Mr. Jinha is a very kind person.”
“Is the bullshit over?
There were several scuffles like that, but in the end Park Jin-ha was the same.
Park Jin-ha threw a big candy at Laitia’s smile.
“Like it or not, but I think you’ll come in.”
Reitana also maintained the same stance.
and Mr. Siu. I’m done talking to Jinha, but I also have something to say to Siwoo. The purpose of coming here in the first place is not because of Mr. Jinha.”
And soon, Reitana’s attention turned to me.
“Siwoo. I came to visit you as an old colleague. Would it be okay if we just talked for a while? Jinha wants to go out and talk to the adults alone.”
Reitana looked at Park Jin-ha and asked for his understanding.
It seemed that Reitana had something to say to me as well as Park Jin-ha.
“Wait a minute. Do you think I’ll let you do that? Do you think I’ll leave a dangerous person like you… alone with Siwoo?”
Hearing that, Park Jin-ha started to be wary like a puppy meeting a thief.
Park Jin-ha, who knew Reitana’s true nature, must have thought that such a thing was nonsense.
It’s worth thinking so.
However, there is nothing wrong with being alone.
“It’s okay. Jinha. Go out.”
“Yes? Siwoo-nim…but.”
Looking at Park Jin-ha like that, I said it was okay.
Because there was no reason to worry.
“This is inside the hospital. I don’t know if it’s anywhere else, but Reitana doesn’t do anything strange in a place like this.”
I know very well about Reitana.
Still, she is a woman who puts her life on the line to manage her public image as a saint.
Therefore, there is no way that she, who never leaves any evidence behind, would do anything strange in a place like this.
“… I know.”
Hearing my words, Park Jin-ha agreed.
He looked a little worried, but soon left the room.
Now, only Reitana and I were left in the hospital room.
“I’m surprised you have that faith?”
“Well, as an old colleague, we know each other well.”
Reitana smiled slightly at the reunion after a long time.
Looking at Reitana like that, he responded calmly.
As I said before, Reitana and I only went through the gate together a few times in the past when I was an A-rank hunter.
There are no memories of the past other than that.
Recently, while working as Yoo Eun-ha’s manager, there have been some conflicts, but there is no particular business relationship.
“Raitana. So what do you want to say?”
I got straight to the point.
There was no need for greetings in business relationships.
“Oh… Are you sad that you don’t even say hello to each other?”
“Well, is there anything to say hello to between us? Hurry up and tell me your purpose.”
“Hehe… I got it.”
Seeing me go straight to the point, Reitana put on a regretful expression, but it was a smile that was only for service.
In fact, it was clear that she didn’t want to talk about miscellaneous things.
As if to prove him, Reitana quickly got to the point.
“Hmm… Let me be blunt. Would you like to work as my secretary?”
It was the secretary who proposed to me with Reitana’s characteristic innocent expression.
It was such an outrageous statement in the current situation.
“Secretary? Why?”
“Because Siwoo is very competent.”
I asked the reason for Reitana’s words,
Likewise, Reitana smiled at me and answered.
Actually, I made quite a name for myself when I was Eunha Yoo’s manager.
There was a time when I was in charge of all the practical work at Eunhae Yoo’s company.
In a sense, I may be a talented person who can be used for a career position.
But, that’s not really the reason.
People who know how to do practical work are widely spread.
It doesn’t have to be me.
And above all, the job of an S-class manager is not something that can be entrusted to an untrustworthy person.
“Is that the only reason? It’s too ugly for a reason?”
“Well, of course, the real purpose is to use Siwoo, who became his secretary, to recruit Park Jin-ha.”
When I didn’t raise my suspicions, Reitana said her true purpose as if nothing else.
As expected, Reitana’s purpose seemed to be that way.
You may want to force Park Jin-ha into your guild, but since Park Jin-ha is S-class, you can never force him into your guild.
Besides, threatening Park Jin-soo is getting out of hand, so he must be trying to enlist me and put Park Jin-ha into the guild.
I get a rough idea of what you’re thinking.
“I’m sorry. I’m not interested.”
I naturally declined.
Now, I didn’t want to work as a manager, and I didn’t really want to join the church.
“Are you answering right away? Can’t you think about it a little more? That’s not a bad suggestion for you either? I know enough about your situation.”
Hearing my answer, Reitana put on a slightly sad expression.
However, he soon raised the corner of his mouth and sent me a contemptuous look.
“I know very well that even an A-class hunter can’t afford Miss Lee Si-eun’s medicine.”
“You seem to have done quite a bit of research.”
“Hehe. Thank you for the compliment.”
Certainly, if you are the head of a large guild like the [Cult], your information power can’t be ignored.
Reitana clearly knew why I was in huge debt and why I needed the money.
“But, I’ll refuse. I don’t need it.”
Still, I refused.
Again, I don’t want to work as a manager now, and I have no reason to do it.
“Siwoo, I think you’re misunderstanding something…”
Reitana smiled brightly at my answer.
Then, Leitana took out her cell phone from the breast of her nun’s uniform.
And I called somewhere.
turr…
The phone’s beep went off.
And a few seconds later, an unexpected person answered the phone.
“Brother… save me…!”
A word with an urgent cry.
It was a familiar voice.
It was the voice of my sister, Lee Si-eun.
pop.
The phone is disconnected.
“I’m not asking for a favor. This is an order. Siwoo.”
The phone hung up, and Reitana smiled and continued what she had said earlier.
“… Hey. Are you playful?”
A sound was heard.
The sound of my strings breaking.
