262 – Stranger (4)
“Oppa, that person over there, isn’t it him? He- a returner, a wizard-“
“Ma, I think that’s right? Chariot… ?”
“Crazy, is that really Chariot?”
“Wow, I don’t know Lee Hwa-rin, but this is my first time seeing Chariot.”
“What? Have you seen Lee Hwa-rin before?”
“No, I mean. Lee Hwa-rin often appears on TV, in commercials, and on YouTube. But Chariot, that person-“
Chariot was not a hot topic that attracted the public’s attention like Lee Hwa-rin.
However.
That was because Lee Hwa-rin was actively engaged in external activities, while Chariot showed the exact opposite behavior.
While Lee Hwa-rin appears in all kinds of media every day.
Chariot extremely rarely revealed herself to the public.
This is because Chariot never had to constantly prove herself like Lee Hwa-rin.
Chariot is a returnee.
It is one of the top ten powerhouses in the world.
It is a one-man army that can rival a nation with the power of one person.
It was a self-evident fact known to everyone in the world.
Above all.
All of the returnees had an indifferent personality.
Returnees tended not to view others as equal to themselves.
Except for returnees who have the same power as themselves.
Even Lee Hwa-rin, one of the most talented members of Chariot’s guild ‘Cheongseong’, felt a barrier to Chariot.
High-ranking officials were anxiously asking for a meeting, but Chariot was the one who kept coming out of his studio and did not give a single answer.
Such a chariot appeared on the street.
And that too to protect someone.
The ripple effect caused by that situation was on a different level from the situation in which Lee Hwa-rin, who is like an idol, appears and Kim Joo-seong appears.
And now, the person who feels the difference most keenly is none other than the person involved, Kim Joo-seong himself.
‘Well, that person was from Chariot’s side…’ ?”
On the surface, Kim Joo-seong’s justification for pushing Kasha was very reasonable.
In fact, awakened people who are not registered with the association are strictly restricted from using their abilities and accessing the gate.
Also, if it goes against it, the hunter who witnesses it is given the authority and obligation to subdue the awakened person.
Kim Joo-seong is simply doing her duty as a hunter.
No one in the crowd questioned that fact.
However, Kim Joo-seong and Kasha, the parties involved in the incident, knew.
The fact that the reason Kim Joo-sung is pushing Kasha now is not for such a public sense of mission, but for extremely personal reasons.
It’s an expression of anger because one’s pride is hurt when one tries to get a number and gets rejected.
That was the reality of what Kim Joo-seong is doing now.
There were a lot of problems for a famous hunter like Kim Joo-seong to do, but it was okay.
Because she was an outer.
The social status of her, an outer, and Kim Joo-seong, her A-class hunter, were literally polar opposites, heaven and earth.
The leadership of the situation was entirely Kim Joo-seong’s.
The possibility of Kim Joo-seong suffering a setback due to this matter was significantly small.
She certainly was, until it was revealed that she was Chariot’s person.
‘What the heck…’ !’
Kim Joo-seong was dumbfounded and felt unfair.
The reason why Kim Joo-seong’s personality was so arbitrary was because she deserved it.
He is a class A hunter and the younger brother of ‘Kim Joo-hwan.’
In Korea, even if Kim Joo-sung behaved unruly, there were only a very few people who could file a complaint against him.
However, the returnee is a representative example of the very few.
Chariot intervenes.
Wham-al-wham-al.
At that time, a man with narrowed eyes and a blank-faced expression who was the first to intervene in this situation whispered into Chariot’s ear.
Chariot’s expression could be seen crumpling in real time.
In the end, Chariot was looking at Kim Joo-seong as if he felt pitiful.
Anyway, the situation that Kim Joo-seong was worried about seemed to have happened right away.
He reported the entire incident to Chariot.
‘That bastard…’ ‘
-Heesilheesil.
Is it because of that unique, innocent smile?
What he did felt particularly disgusting.
It was a time when Kim Joo-seong was trying to target Ceylon.
“Mr. Kim Joo-seong.”
Ha.
Chariot sighed deeply.
‘Why should someone of my caliber get involved in such trivial matters?’
It was as if he was saying that.
“This person, Kasha, had no impure intentions and was purely trying to help the citizens. I guarantee that. So, let’s move on happily.”
Chariot’s Guarantee.
The effect was enormous.
“What? So, did you catch Kim Joo-seong, a strict person?”
“No, hey! “What can you say to our Joosung oppa like that?”
“My brother Joo-seong, I am your brother, b*tch.”
“What can I say, it’s ugly.”
“But, it was a little strange. “All that person did was arrive faster than anyone else and clear the gate.”
“For sure. Kim Joo-seong also arrived quickly, but he was still later than that person.”
“If it weren’t for that person, by the time Kim Joo-seong arrived, there would have already been a few injured people.”
The leftists who had been pushing Kasha along with Kim Joo-seong were defending Kasha as if they had never done so.
No.
Maybe she doesn’t go so far as to advocate.
“Hey, but I was thinking about it earlier. That person. “Isn’t he cute?”
“So. “Why, even if Lee Hwa-rin is next to me, I won’t be bothered?”
“Rather, Lee Hwa-rin is getting the better of me?”
“Wasn’t that gate just now quite big? How do you say something like that? Emission gate?”
“Oh, it was definitely big.”
“Hey prospective hunter. “What level is a gate like that?”
“Hmm… “Considering that it’s an emission type, it’s about C-level to A-level?”
“f*ck. What range is wider than the US border? “That’s why you always fail exams.”
“Maw.”
“Is that gate about to be level B?”
“Huh. Then, did that person handle the B-level gate so easily?”
“In the video I saw, there were a bunch of hunters rushing in to deal with a B-class gate.”
“People like Lee Hwa-rin and Kim Joo-seong are enough on their own.”
“So you’re saying that person is an A-level talent like Lee Hwa-rin or Kim Joo-seong?
“What did that person say? Transfer interest? “What is transference again?”
“Isn’t it similar to a returnee?”
“Crazy. Hey. “Could it be that the returnee you’re talking about on the Internet is not that person?”
“Crazy?”
Outerwear.
Dangerous person.
Kasha’s special qualities, which had been hidden by such a negative image, finally began to be seen by people.
At some point, they didn’t even care about Kim Joo-seong, whom they were so passionate about.
“I apologize~”
With someone jokingly saying something, a strange atmosphere was created in the place.
Kim Joo-seong could feel the negative gaze being directed at him.
Some female fans gave him worried looks, but that alone was not enough to appease Kim Joo-sung.
Paddeuk.
The sound of teeth grinding came out from his closed mouth.
It was an extremely unfamiliar and humiliating situation for Kim Joo-seong.
He was not a person who could just curl up and bow his head in a situation like this.
But what should I do?
The other person is Chariot.
Moreover, the ‘Kim Hwan’ guild that Kim Joo-seong currently belongs to was about to have an important conversation with Chariot’s guild, ‘Cheongseong’.
‘Damn it.’
In the end, it was the moment when Kim Joo-seong endured the humiliation and was about to bow his head to Chariot and her group.
-!~
A distinctive message incoming notification sound came from his cell phone in his coat pocket.
The number of people who turned on the cell phone message alarm for Kim Joo-seong was limited, and most of them were people in a higher position than Kim Joo-seong.
Kim Joo-seong immediately took out his cell phone and checked the contents of his message.
“… “
Wait a minute for Kim Joo-seong’s expression to become complicated.
Sigh.
Soon, Kim Joo-seong looked at Chariot with a meaningful smile on his face.
“I’m sorry. “I think there was a small misunderstanding.”
“….”
Then Chariot’s expression also becomes meaningful.
Kim Joo-seong.
Class A hunter.
In Chariot’s eyes, it was nothing more than a small spoonful.
Originally, Chariot would not have known about a person like Kim Joo-seong.
But he belonged to the ‘Kim Hwan’ guild.
A key figure in ‘Cheongseong’, Chariot’s guild, who has a strange relationship with that guild.
So, Chariot personally researched Kim Joo-seong and knew vaguely about him.
Kim Hwan, befitting his guild tendencies, he had a pretty dirty behind the scenes.
Chariot realized that Kim Joo-sung was a person who could not be recognized so clearly in the current situation.
He had a very bloated ego compared to his abilities.
‘Is that so?’
Suddenly Chariot remembered the meeting she had just had in her office.
Kim Joo-hwan, co-representative of the ‘Kim Hwan’ guild.
The small-sized brother in front of you.
And.
The right arm of the returnee ‘that guy’.
‘That’s how it happened.’
Chariot understood the situation.
The reason why a guy like Kim Joo-seong was able to bow his head cleanly in the current situation.
He had hopes that he would be able to avenge this humiliation.
‘Are you saying let’s go somewhere else?’
Chariot was no longer paying attention to the small fish in front of him.
Now she thought of Kim Joo-hwan, who was above him, and the person above him.
He was a returnee who was praised as the ‘Devil King’ in the world where he was transferred.
“I have other business to attend to, so I’ll just leave.”
Kim Joo-seong bowed politely to Chariot and then left the place.
“… “
Ceylon stared at his back blankly.
He did not miss the sight of Kim Joo-seong’s gaze, who was bowing, glued to Kasha.
With the unsettling emotions that permeated that gaze.
“…”
His eyes, secretly hidden behind narrow eyes, were revealed, albeit slightly.
