185 – 185. Seclusion (1)
Han Yeo-reum had evaluated Ahn Soo-ho quite high up until now. It was true that the ability he showed was outstanding.
She was like that, so when I heard Ahn Su-ho proudly declare that he was straddling both legs, I wondered if I should reconsider that evaluation, but her ideology was thorough merit-first. No matter what Ahn Su-ho’s personal life was, it was enough if he had outstanding abilities and he could use them.
Of course, as a woman before being a manager and an ambitious person, her behavior didn’t look very welcoming.
‘…… Well, there is a word called heroic lust. Not one or two of the high-ranking hunters are messy with women.’
Midsummer is like that, so she decided to convince. She wasn’t having an affair, and if the relationship was mutually approved, she wasn’t the part to interfere with.
In response, Han Yeo-reum delivered the news to Ahn Su-ho’s two lovers, Ji Ye-won and Kang Ha-neul, through her subordinates. Of course, without mentioning the specific place, he just said that he was doing well in the place he had prepared.
However, that was enough for the two people who were worried about Ahn Su-ho’s safety.
-Titling!
Kang Ha-neul hurriedly picked up his phone at the text message that arrived in the middle of the night. He showed a look of disappointment when he realized that the number was not Ahn Su-ho’s, but soon after checking the contents of the text, a smile of relief bloomed across his face.
“Thank God…… !”
Ahn Su-ho said he was going to meet mid-summer, but he had been out of contact for nearly four or five hours, so Kang Ha-neul continued to tighten his heart. When her tension and anxiety were relieved at once, she sighed deeply and lay down on her bed with a relaxed look on her face.
– What, fortunately?
Sylvie’s alter ego, which Ahn Soo-ho had left next to her, clung to her.
Thanks to the order to put Kang Ha-neul’s safety first, the alter ego reacted sensitively to Kang Ha-neul’s every move. Kang Ha-neul felt good because such an alter ego was like a cute pet.
“I got a call that my brother is okay. Now, Midsummer is doing well in the shelter she prepared.”
In the text, there was no mention of Ahn Soo-ho and Midsummer’s transaction. Therefore, Kang Ha-neul was completely unaware of Han Yeo-reum’s proposal to Ahn Su-ho, and that he would have to leave the hiding place if Ahn Su-ho refused to accept the proposal.
“Ah, but it’s a pity that you don’t know where your brother is. It would be nice to be able to visit you when you need a car…….”
-I know where the master is.
“Huh? Really??”
At Kang Ha-neul’s question, the alter ego nodded her head appropriately.
-The connection with the main body has been lost, but I can vaguely feel which direction it is in. If you follow this feeling, you will be able to arrive at the master’s place.
“Really? Is that real? Really, really, really!?”
-Really, really, really…… What is it?
“Then you can go see it anytime! It’s all thanks to Sylvie 2! Thank you!”
She was overjoyed as the river sky rubbed her Sylvie’s alter ego on her cheek. Sylvie struggled to and fro like a puppy straining her master’s attention.
‘She’s been told by her master to be well, but this woman is so attached that it’s a burden…’ !’
Even if it’s an alter ego, it’s not difficult to get away from Kang Ha-neul with Sylvie’s strength, but Ahn Su-ho ordered Sylvie not to cause any harm to Kang Ha-neul. Sylvie pondered in her mind for a moment whether it would be dangerous to shake off the river or sky, then let her dainty arms hang down as if giving up.
‘The woman named Ji Ye-won looks calm, but I should have gone that way… !’
The alter ego with Kang Ha-neul has been able to think quite humanly in just a day or two. Kang Ha-neul was deeply influenced by the original body’s colorful expression of emotions.
On the other hand, the alter ego with Ji Ye-won, who showed relatively few emotions outwardly, had a much lesser degree of such an influence.
Because, unlike Kang Ha-neul, who loved her alter ego as a pet, Ji Ye-won was wary of her alter ego and refrained from talking with it as much as possible.
-Ji Ye-won…… Sir?
Another alter ego of Sylvie (Sylvie 3 according to Kang Ha-neul’s naming method) quietly approached Ji Ye-won, who had been looking at her cell phone for a while. Sylvie 3 basically did not contact Ji Ye-won unless it was necessary. Because she ordered it so.
-Your expression looks really bad. Do you have any business?
At those words, Yewon Ji quietly took her eyes off her phone. It was a car that had a lot of thoughts about this and that in the texts she received from her midsummer subordinate. Her true feelings showed on her face, but she didn’t feel the need to share it with her alter ego.
“Nothing. Do not care about it.”
-Are you really okay?
“Yes.”
-Yes…….
After hearing the answer, the alter ego trudged to the corner of the room and sat down. A little doll-sized girl was doing it, so she looked like a doll abandoned by the side of the road.
‘Unlike the owner, the reaction is cold. Will my alter ego, who went to Kang Ha-neul, be treated like this?’
Although it is said that the influence is small because there is little emotional exchange, Sylvie 3 is starting to be affected in a different direction than Sylvie 2. Mainly on the negative side, such as loneliness or sadness.
The personality of an alter ego is just a duplicate of the main body. Destined to disappear naturally when the alter ego and clone are combined.
However, after only a day or two, the difference between the two alter egos began to widen, and what kind of influence will they have in the future? It was something no one knew.
At least not yet.
The day passed like that. The next day, Tuesday morning.
Ahn Soo-ho, who was in Pohang, replied to Han Yeo-reum that he would accept the deal he proposed the day before. As a result, a cooperative relationship was built between the two, and Ahn Su-ho bought time to think about a solution in the future at the hideout prepared by Han Yeo-reum.
“That midsummer student. If you contact me while I’m here…….”
“I will prepare a cell phone to use for contact within today. Until then, please bear with me even if it is uncomfortable.”
“Ah… ….”
At the end of midsummer, Suho Ahn blurted out her words as if she had something to say. At this, Han Yeoreum tilts her head and asks.
“Do you have any urgent contact?”
“Yes. Come to think of it, I had more people to say hello to.”
“…… It’s not like there’s a third or fourth lover, right?”
Suho Ahn shook his head in denial at the suspicious look of midsummer. However, midsummer, when I thought that strong denial was not affirmation, seldom raised doubts.
“Don’t look at me like that. It’s not really that kind of opponent. It was to contact our team leader and Hunter Seol Ah-hyun.”
“Ah, come to think of it, those two were there.”
Han Yeo-reum nodded her head as if she finally understood Ahn Su-ho’s explanation. Then, a meaningful smile suddenly appears on her face.
“Isn’t it enough to tell them that you’re doing well too?”
“Yes? Ah yes. I will contact you anyway if I get a phone number for contact, but I still want to make a report of survival as soon as possible.”
“Okay. Then I’ll tell them both. Seol Ah-hyun, Hunter, is an acquaintance. Because I wanted to talk with team leader Min Chaeryeong.”
“With our team leader? Why?”
“There is such a thing. Then see you in the evening.”

Leaving those words behind, Midsummer got into the car driven by her driver and left her villa. Ahn Su-ho thought as she watched the car go away.
‘Midsummer and Min Chaeryeong. It’s a combination I’ve never thought of.’
Min Chae-ryeong, the boss at work, and Han Ye-reum, the older sister of Mid-wyeol.
In a normal way, it was a combination that there was no way to connect, but when I put it together, it was surprisingly a combination that had a lot in common. The fact that both of them have wide feet, that they have their own power, or that they have a lot of greed for talent.
‘Is it like people who are similar recognize each other? Maybe Midsummer is trying to connect with Min Chaeryeong…….’
Ahn Soo-ho entered the villa, inferring midsummer’s intentions. He thought that he should discuss the future with Xiao Mei.
However.
Contrary to Ahn Su-ho’s expectations, Han Ye-reum’s reason for wanting to ‘directly’ contact Min Chae-ryeong was not such a sound intention.
“… ….”
At that time, at the office of the Green House Guard in Sokcho, Min Chae-ryeong was trembling with pride, chewing on her thumb nails. Needless to say, the cause was Ahn Su-ho’s loss of contact.
‘This crazy bastard has never seen me… ….’
It was 8 o’clock this morning that she first noticed that she couldn’t contact Suho Ahn. It was because she didn’t have the timing to contact her right away as she was busy resolving her immediate problems. And it was 8:30 when she contacted Ji Ye-won and found out about her situation.
Thirty minutes is not a very long time, but it is impossible to describe how anxious and anxious she was during that time.
Even though Sung Yu-jin brought out an unexpected method called public opinion war, it is shocking to suddenly not be able to contact him. During the aforementioned 30 minutes, Min Chae-ryeong started with her abduction and she was trembling alone, thinking of all the possibilities Seong Yu-jin could bring out.
‘But I never thought Midsummer would come out to help An Su-ho first. Even I was busy taking care of my own business, so it happened just fine. I had no idea that their relationship would be that deep…….’
Although Ahn Soo-ho and Han Yeo-reum had a connection with one raiding dungeon, it would have been only that much of a connection at most. Seol Ah-hyun and Midsummer were like that, and Min Chae-ryeong couldn’t understand why there were so many unexpected connections around An Su-ho.
-Tiriririri!
At that time, Min Chaeryeong’s cell phone started to ring. She startled at the sight of her name displayed on her screen.
‘Han Yeo-reum (eldest daughter of Hansung Group)’
There was no relationship between the two to exchange numbers. It’s just that she got the number just in case, because she had a relationship with Min Chae-ryeong, the Hansung Group, and to be exact, her father, the current chairman of the Hansung Group.
“Hello?”
-Mr. Chaeryeong Min?
“Yes. My name is Chaeryeong Min, the leader of Team 2 of the Special Countermeasures Division of the Green House Guard. What did you call for? Midsummer student?”
Therefore, this was the first time the two had had a conversation. The moment they heard each other’s voices, they instinctively sensed that the other was of the same kind as them.
-You guess it’s me right away. Did you know my number?
“I have a relationship with Chairman Han Yong-soo. Somehow I found out.”
– By chance, what. You must have known this in advance to use a straw when you need tea. Just like my father did. Am I wrong?
“Ha.”
Min Chaeryeong smiled with an expression of absurdity at the bold attitude of entering from the beginning.
“A straw? The business relationship between you and me is based on mutual needs. I guess Midsummer student is still young, so he doesn’t know well-“
-I don’t know what I don’t know. I know everything. My father and the current chairman of Green House are friends, and Min Chaeryeong is the stepdaughter of the chairman. Oh, by any chance, in today’s society, the relationship of ‘dad’s friend’ or ‘friend’s daughter’ is called a business relationship?
“………… The first time I got to know him was through the chairman, but now we keep in touch personally. But why do you keep arguing from before? Do you remember what I did wrong to you?”
-Oh my, I’m sorry if I sounded rude. There are so many young flower snakes clinging to my father. Oh, I can’t tell you this either. Will you apologize?
“………… Because it’s business hours. If you’re calling me to make a serious personal attack, I’ll hang up.”
-Oh, wait a minute. I called because I have business, so wait a minute.
At the end of midsummer, Min Chae-ryeong let out a sigh as she let go of her boiling anger. If she were an ordinary opponent, she would have no reason to accept personal attacks like this, but the opponent is the eldest daughter of the chairman of the Hansung Group. She was just hot-headed here, so it didn’t do any good to be harsh with her. Besides, there’s Ahn Soo-ho’s business.
‘…… It sucks, really.’
Min Chae-ryeong, who was always in the position of her Gap, was in a state of rage at the first time she had suffered her Gap. Then Midsummer opened her mouth.
-Among Min Chaeryeong’s subordinates, there is Ahn Soo-ho, right? I have him now…….
Min Chae-ryeong listened to her, finally wanting to get to the point.
However.
-This person, if you don’t mind, can I take some?
“What?”
The following words left deep wrinkles between Min Chaeryeong’s forehead.
