309 – [5] False Confidence
#309
However, if he really told me to shut up, he wouldn’t be a hunter.
They were whispering and talking among themselves, although less than before.
‘What nonsense are these bastards talking about…? … To begin with, Cheonma-ri and I are just friends.’
Jang Xian sighed heavily.
As can be seen from these thoughts, Kang Xian and her guards interpreted it to refer to a thousand horses.
The guards are simply because one of the highest ranking members of a large corporation called Nartica is Cheonmaly.
Because Kang Xian is not called the president.
‘What are those bastards? Why is there a half-natural response?’
And Wei Long was thinking of the existing president when he spoke.
Not a young, mindless woman, but a middle-aged man with a pot belly.
She spoke these words as if stabbing them, referring to such a person.
It was strange to see some positive reactions.
Of course, in the middle of the conversation, words like “Young lady” And other things leaked out.
However, Wei Long passed this by one ear, which made her even more confused.
‘No, this makes sense…’ … But this is America. A free country where the rainbow flag flies.’
A deep, dark conviction that you want to deny.
Even though I wanted to deny it, various realities only added to my false confidence.
This was especially true of Kang Xian’s face, which deserved the favor of both men and women.
If she had known that Wei Long was thinking these terrible thoughts, Jiang Xian would have let out a scream and punched her a long time ago.
‘…… ‘Well, what you stabbed wasn’t real, right?’
Anyway, Wei Long was thinking too deeply.
The problem was that it was better for her to think like that than to think briefly.
The current situation of the former president was worse than anyone could have imagined.
Considering her mental health, it might be better to assume that she is alive and well with false delusions.
‘I want to deny it…’ … Wow, this is a crazy delusion. A person who likes women so much…… Then why are you there…… ‘Fuck, I don’t know.’
Weilong has fallen into a bottleneck.
Fortunately for her, this phenomenon did not last long.
Because she saw something in the guards who approached her.
Something that made her feel that all her previous thoughts were wrong.
‘Wait a minute, the guards here…… Now that I think about it, they aren’t just hired people.’
Organizational power that moves quickly.
Unified appearance of equipment.
Not one or two, but probably twenty people.
They all have Asian faces in common.
It was clear that some professional organization was directly operating it.
And the organization in question is currently occupying this warehouse, and the original owner, the president, is currently using any means—
“If you really want to meet the owner, come through the official route. “You apply, inform the reason, and make an appointment.”
It was true that there was a problem.
Otherwise, there was no reason not to let it in like this.
‘Could it be that the reaction earlier was because the owner here wasn’t someone I knew?!’
As her thoughts reached that point, she felt as if she had entered her tiger’s den.
She could have been like the boss.
She took a step back. She retreated and retreated, heading towards her friends.
“Hey, guys, let’s run away.”
“Huh? “Wasn’t it about meeting the boss?”
“I think something is wrong.”
“Hang? “I heard you used to come here often.”
“It’s different from back then. Something has changed a lot. Just looking at the guy taking the same lecture right now…… !”
She shared her fears with her friends.
Others were also nervous as they felt the fear of not knowing what their friend was.
“…… Now that I think about it, what on earth is that guy doing?”
“Looking at you giving instructions to the guards earlier, it seemed like a pretty high-ranking position.”
“Chief Hunter? “Isn’t it called something like that?”
“Wait a minute, Chief Hunter? Hunter?”
A word that came up while looking back on each other’s memories.
The word ‘Senior Hunter’ made me even more nervous.
‘You’re a cadet but you’re a hunter? ‘Just how good are you?’
It was quite rare to be both a cadet and a hunter.
However, there were many cases where employment was scheduled.
But even in those cases, most people said they were aspiring hunters and did not say they were hunters.
Furthermore, Kang Xian’s position within Nartica is ‘Chief Hunter’.
It was not a low position, but a high position that would be convenient to count from above.
Moreover, this was not a position used only in Korea.
It was no exaggeration to say that regardless of country, the chief hunter was the highest rank among hunters.
Of course, it was a temporary position that Cheonma-ri took as a convenience.
Compared to the chief hunters of other large corporations or large guilds, if you ask whether Kang Xian is better, you can’t help but shake your head.
Originally, that seat was where popular A-class or S-class hunters sat.
It would be a good thing if they didn’t snort when they saw Jiang Xian.
But a position was a position.
Cheonma-ri did not parachute without thinking, and Kang Xian’s skills were not so great that they could be ignored.
‘I thought there were a lot of bitches around me that were being screwed over, but maybe it was because I had the ability to do that…… !’
The cadets at the front.
Guards around him.
He was skilled enough to compete with these two.
And the Nartica employees knew this very well.
“Chief Hunter, the people in front of us won’t back down anymore. What should we do?”
“You just have to kick them out around the warehouse. Keep pushing.”
“I understand.”
One of the few treasures of the Nartica Hunter Department, which only makes shit every day.
The next-generation pillar who will lead Nartica along with Cheonma-ri.
I had no choice but to follow the words of Kang Xian, who had no blood on his head, and treat him with some respect.
Otherwise, something not so fun would happen in the future.
‘Anyway, I guess I was too shy earlier. ‘You won’t be disadvantaged for this later, right?’
‘The lady won’t say anything later.’
‘I kept my mouth shut. These don’t notice…… I came out to make a stamp, but I came out for no reason.’
Roughly in the form of failure in salary negotiation or missing a promotion.
In particular, if Kang Xian took real power of Nartica, the possibility of this would increase even more.
Unfortunately, this was just a concern for the employees.
This is because Kang Xian has no intention of officially joining Nartica anyway.
“If you don’t go quickly, we will have no choice but to take hard-line measures. “I’ll turn a blind eye to what you said earlier, so get the hell out of here.”
In fact, despite all that, he was working in a way that benefited Nartica.
Weirong and his friends retreated further due to Jiang Xian’s words.
“Hey, hey, so what should we do? Leave like this? Or are we going to keep fighting like this?”
“What do you attach?” Didn’t you hear me call him the chief hunter? “If we fight, we will die for sure.”
“Wouldn’t it be right to leave here first? “If I do something wrong, I think I could really die.”
“Ugh, I was wondering if I could get money at best… ….”
The reality is that there is no way to win.
Rather, the reality is that people only seem ready to die at the hands of Kang Xian and Nartica’s guards.
Wei Long and her friends quickly ran away, leaving the warehouse behind.
* * *
Those who ran away after touching the beehive headed to a park in a remote corner.
They sighed repeatedly and sat down on the bench.
“I…… Hey, Weilong, I heard you know your sponsor well. “But what on earth is this?”
“…… Sorry.”
“No, if you’re not sure, don’t say anything. “Right now, because of you, all of us—”
“But it’s not like I wasn’t sure. I was definitely in touch with you not long ago…….”
“Ha… ….”
“The problem is, I had no idea that things like that would take over the warehouse in such a short period of time.”
Then Wei Long slowly explained what she felt.
She knows the whereabouts of the boss she knew, what kind of situation the warehouse is in, and her personal opinion about the gangshi that blocked her.
And others also explained what they saw and felt.
Once the information was collected, a clear conclusion was drawn.
“We’re not screwed…” … ?”
“It’s probably right… ….”
The support fund was completely ruined.
Even the last corner of my trust collapsed.
But it did not simply collapse.
When they went to check if it had collapsed, they ended up choking down a beehive thanks to their strong ego.
“Damn. That bastard. “You won’t investigate our background and inflict harm on us, right?”
“Why not…?” … “I said from the beginning that I would turn a blind eye to it.”
“Do you believe that? He already has the skills to be a senior hunter. Are they really not going to do any behind-the-scenes work on us?”
“But we never revealed our identity. I don’t think it can be traced then… ….”
“No, the problem is that he and we are taking the same lecture.”
Your identity will be revealed even if you hide it.
If a background investigation is conducted, all kinds of sensitive information will be revealed, no matter how much it is hidden.
In particular, Wei Long and her friends were frequent users of SNS.
In return for wasting one’s life, leaks of new information became inevitable, and a certain soccer manager continued his winning streak until this very moment.
“Shouldn’t we go to the cooking class? “I think something will really happen if we move forward.”
“That’s right.”
“Honestly, I don’t think I should go out during the final exam…… The facial expression of that guy from earlier was really…….”
“…… “It was a way of looking at something so unpleasant.”
I was afraid of the aftermath.
It was too harsh a punishment for acting carelessly in front of a warehouse.
“Ha…… If I had known it would be like this, I would have just been polite…… Everyone, I’m sorry… ….”
The price of belittling and showing off one’s pride.
For a long time, they were filled with pessimism about the future.
And at some point, that pessimism turned into doubt.
It is a question that could easily turn into anger.
One of Weilong’s friends was especially like that.
He compared his information with her friend’s testimony and frowned slightly.
“Guys, wait a minute. “I’m just asking, just in case. Does that guy from Panz belong to a company?”
“Company…… You belong, right? “I said I was the representative of a high-ranking person and the chief hunter.”

“Then Weilong. That Panz guy. “You said he took over the warehouse and did something to the original owner?”
Wei Long nodded her head with confidence.
It was just a guess, but it was because there was no other possibility anymore.
“But why is that?”
“I thought he and his gang were playing with our funds.”
“They played with our funds?!”
Some people were shocked and shouted.
On the other hand, some people looked at it as if it was too much of a leap forward.
“No, think about it. “After the owner of the warehouse, who was the sponsor of the support fund, disappeared, the warehouse was essentially taken away.”
“That’s right.”
“And I don’t know exactly when this happened, but it roughly coincides with the time when the funds stopped coming out.”
It was a situation worthy of reasonable suspicion.
The problem was that it always remained at the level of ‘suspicion’.
The fact that the warehouse was taken away is, in their eyes, a factual truth.
However, it was somewhat ambiguous whether something strange was done to the support fund.
To begin with, the fund is reeling just because the warehouse owner has disappeared.
Even if the fund has decreased compared to before, does this make sense?
There was no physical evidence at all, and even the mental evidence was vague.
Because of this, skepticism flowed among her friends.
It seems so.
I don’t think so.
The two opinions went back and forth countless times, along with the passion of a 20-year-old and the despair of a 20-year-old.
When the situation reached such a deadlock, Weilong thought of a person who could solve the problem.
‘I really don’t want to get help from that person.’
Nationality, status, and what you do.
A famous cadet who I don’t like in many ways.
But there was no other way.
This was the only way to receive the support funds again and find out the full story of the loss of contact.
Wei Long decided to put aside her pride for a moment.
She showed off her pride like before for no reason and she couldn’t get herself seriously hurt.
“Guys, when it comes to things related to Panz, there is one person who can help.”
They were gradually becoming involved in something they could not handle.
