186 – 186. Homophobia
There is a saying that poles and poles are connected. And on the other hand, it also means that people of the same kind are surprisingly bad with each other. People often call it this.
‘Homophobia’.
-This person, if you don’t mind, can I take some?
“What?”
Min Chaeryeong and Han Yeo-reum felt an inexplicable antipathy towards each other from the moment the phone call started. And with that bombshell declaration in midsummer, Min Chae-ryeong’s antipathy finally surpassed her reason.
“What are you talking about, you crazy girl-“
Unknowingly, she was about to say her slang, but she hurriedly shuts her mouth. However, there was no way the S-class superhuman would miss that.
– Yes? I beg your pardon? Crazy b*tch? Could it be that the guard team leader called the student a crazy b*tch?
Midsummer did not bother to mention her status as his successor. Because there’s no way Min Chaeryeong wouldn’t know. That’s why her words stabbed Min Chae-ryeong’s reason rather like a sarcastic one.
“…… It was a lie. However, what a midsummer student said was so…… Were you out of the weather? Who gets what from whom? Yes?”
Nevertheless, Min Chaeryeong showed extreme patience and responded moderately.
However, Midsummer still had no intention of taking it upon himself.
-I’ve been watching your subordinates from the side, and they seem to have excellent abilities and are useful in many ways. But seeing that you weren’t taking care of me properly this time, I was a bit pitiful, so I tried to take you away like this while helping you.
“Don’t be ridiculous. I thought you knew that our subordinates aren’t street cats, and that you can take them as you please…….”
-Ah, I have already agreed with Suho Ahn.
“………… Yes?”
Min Chae-ryeong, who thought she was coveting Ahn Su-ho on her own in midsummer, was literally frozen at her words. Midsummer, who felt that sign, added a smile to her lips.
-He used to say that he wouldn’t come over even if I gave him billions of dollars, but since the situation was such, he eventually opened his hand to me. Well, you didn’t do anything for your subordinates in this situation, right?
“I don’t know what you mean. How far have I been for An Su-ho?”
Do you know if it helped you a lot? Min Chae-ryeong, who was about to ask her back, bit her lips and closed her mouth.
It is true that since An Su-ho became her subordinate, she has helped An Su-ho in many ways. However, as Midsummer said, it was true that she failed to take action in a timely manner in this case. Because when her hands were taken out of her detention center, her bitter connections nearly reached her with the help of her investigation.
‘But that’s only this time. How much I’ve helped him so far.’
The relationship between Ahn Soo-ho and Min Chae-ryeong was a business relationship.
That’s why Chaeryeong Min thought.
Even though Ahn Su-ho received a lot from him, he must have at least a sense of debt to him.
At least, like now, even if someone scouted me to come to them, I wouldn’t be a piece of garbage that would make me angry.
By the way.
‘Ahn Soo-ho…… !’
Indeed, Ahn Soo-ho was taken over by Mid-reum during the night when he lost contact. At least in the middle of the summer, he said.
Of course, the reality was a little different. The deal Ahn Su-ho made with Han Yeo-reum was a freelance contract. And that was to maintain Ahn Su-ho’s guard status.
In other words, if you look at the circumstances of the work, it can be said that An Su-ho rather kept his loyalty to Min Chae-ryeong.
However, Midsummer deliberately did not mention that fact. It wasn’t necessary to say anything to pressure Min Chaeryeong.
But why is she acting so maliciously towards Min Chaeryeong, whom she is talking to on the phone for the first time today?
The reason was really simple.
‘It’s easier to handle this type if you step on it from the beginning.’
Han Yeoreum and Min Chaeryeong were essentially similar even though there were differences in details. Both of them are strategists who deal with people behind the scenes, so they were skilled at penetrating and dealing with people.
Perhaps if they met on an equal footing, the two would have shown a good match.
‘If you prepare a phone for Ahn Su-ho tonight, he’ll probably hear everything……. Until then, why don’t you worry about it?’
However, the reality was very different even though the positions of the two were different. One side is the heir to the largest conglomerate in Korea, while the other side is at best the stepdaughter of the academy director and the security team leader.
However.
“Wait.”
Midsummer was very aware of her own superiority, so she looked down on her too much.
“…… Ahn Su-ho passed over to you at all? It can’t be.”
-It can’t be? Suho Ahn has already made an agreement with me to become our person…
“I went over there a little while ago, he vaguely says that he became that person. What exactly does that mean? Are you saying that Ahn Su-ho is going to join the Hansung Group business? Where do you say you use the E-class superman Naburangi?”
She suddenly laughed as if she was laughing at the appearance of Min Chae-ryeong, who started to fight back strongly. While she was struggling ugly to see if she had any pride in her appearance.
-It’s E-class on paper, but it’s actually equivalent to S-class. If you have such a talent, there are plenty of places to use them.
“So what are you going to use it for? Why can’t you answer me?”
-That’s…….
However, Min Chae-ryeong’s pride isn’t the only thing she has. Except for her advantage of ‘wealth’, she had no part that Min Chae-ryeong was particularly inferior to Han Yeo-reum.
Including the insight to see through the other person and infer the situation.
“Seeing that you can’t answer, it seems like there are circumstances that cannot be revealed to the outside world… …. If so, that’s probably it. Hansung Group’s own hunter guild, which was said to be established soon. He looks pretty useful in combat, so you might want to hire him as a Hunter, right?”
-… ….
I don’t see a clumsy reaction like ‘how to do that?!’. However, the silence that could not be immediately refuted was a gesture that was tantamount to affirmation to Min Chaeryeong.
“This, it seems I hit the mark. What do you do with this?”
Hansung Group’s entry into the hunter business is confidential. It was one of the secrets that no one knows except for the officials, even if it is not at the top secret level hidden in some kind of tight security.
How does a guard team leader know that? Falling into momentary trouble, Midsummer soon chewed her lips as if indignant. Even that gesture was similar to Min Chaeryeong’s.
‘This is a woman who has direct connections with her father. There must be plenty of other connections within the group.’
“So, you mean Suho Ahn decided to join your guild hunter?”
-…… So what are you going to do?
“I’ve told you before, but there’s no way he changed his affiliation like that. Because I have a very tight grip on her weakness.”
-Weakness…… ?
There were many weaknesses that Chaeryeong Min was talking about. It was the transmitter and bomb that was planted in Ji Ye-won’s neck, the fact that Kang Ha-neul was a student at the academy under her management, and the fact that she knew that An Su-ho, like Ji Ye-won, was a defector from the Rising League. The last one was a bluff by Ahn Su-ho, but the others were definitely his weaknesses.
“As long as I hold on to that weakness, Ahn Soo-ho can’t openly rebel against me, and he can’t leave my side hastily. But such Ahn Su-ho tried to move his affiliation to Hanseong without consulting me? That is nonsense.”
-If it were me, I could protect An Su-ho no matter what you do…
“It’s not that kind of weakness. You’ve nailed it right. No matter how you look at this, it seems like a bluff that Ahn Su-ho went over to that side completely? But why did you bluff like this? It’s a trick that will get caught someday anyway…….”
Min Chaeryeong pondered. Just as Han Yeo-reum had grasped Min Chae-ryeong at the beginning of the conversation, Min Chae-ryeong had also figured out the woman Han Ye-reum to some extent. She knows that she is the same kind of person as she is, and therefore how she treats her opponents.
That’s why.
“No matter how much I think about it, it’s meaningless. If there is any meaning at all, how about simple pressure? It seems like we’re going to have frequent conversations about Ahn Su-ho in the future, so you said you tried to keep your spirits low from the start?”
-… ….
“It’s a habit I have, too, to be speechless when hit on the head. I guess midsummer students are like that too?”
-Ha. What did you say…….
I tried to answer Min Chae-ryeong’s point, but it was an obvious response. Han Yeo-reum had financial power that Min Chae-ryeong did not have, but her smirk when playing with people was one step above Min Chae-ryeong.
That’s also true, aside from everything else, it’s because there’s a difference of nearly 4 years from the simple life experience.
“Midsummer student. It seems that our subordinates are very greedy. I understand. When I first saw that guy, I wanted to keep it because I thought it would be useful if I put it under her.”
-You rate him pretty low. She probably wouldn’t be anything but useful.
“It’s like now, but when I first met him, he was just a bold guy. Besides, if you put it under you, it’s not unusual to get tired from running wild.”
Recalling her memories of her past, Min Chae-ryeong smiled wildly. Come to think of it, Ahn Su-ho was no different from her flawed property for her. She’s tricky to use, but what she really wants is filthy.
But.
“So, if you want to recruit talented people, I recommend looking for someone other than Ahn Su-ho. From the boss’s point of view, subordinates like Ahn Su-ho are really savage and difficult to deal with.”
So I had no intention of handing it over to anyone until I recovered the investment cost. Even if the opponent is the successor of the best company in the country.
“Well, there is absolutely no way he will fall for you anyway.”
It was a word that came out because I thought I was holding on to Ahn Su-ho’s weakness, but it sounded a little different to Midsummer. Hearing that, Han Yeo-reum felt as if Min Chae-ryeong was belittling her qualities.
-………… Is that so? But I have no intention of giving up.
“I don’t know how to give up even if you tell me that it is a defective product that is difficult to use.”
-That’s probably because your bowl isn’t big enough to hold that person. Just look at this situation. So anyway, let’s see where. Is it you or me that person chooses in the end?
With those words, Midsummer hung up her phone. An absurd smile appears on Min Chaeryeong’s lips.
‘Let’s see who Suho Ahn will choose in the end?’

Looking at the manner in which they speak, it was like a love affair between two women with the same man in between. Of course, Min Chae-ryeong or Han Yeo-reum had no such personal feelings. Both of them were only thinking of taking advantage of Ahn Soo-ho.
‘What is chijeonggeuk? Ahn Su-ho, I’m going to fight with the girls over what he thinks is pretty…… Is there a precedent for saying that?’
Min Chae-ryeong shook her head, thinking of her river Ha-neul and Ji Ye-won. She was incomprehensible to her on her part. What on earth is Ahn Su-ho’s attractiveness, and two women cling to him?
Because they both had the experience of being saved by Ahn Su-ho. It’s like a rocking bridge effect.’
If it wasn’t for that, there’s no way I would date a man like Ahn Soo-ho. At least, from Min Chaeryeong’s point of view, that was the case.
‘It’s not enough to get caught up in a strange incident on a fictional day. What does that guy say he likes?’
Isn’t Ahn Su-ho the cause of everything from the wind in the morning to the exhausting battle of words with Midsummer? Staring at his picture on the list in the corner of the team leader’s office, Min Chaeryeong thought with a deep sigh.
Anything like Ahn Soo-ho, go after him.
And that time. In Pohang.
-Master… ? I will throw away my expenses… ? No… ? I won’t throw it away…… ? Don’t throw away Sylvie. I’ll do my best. Don’t throw it away, black, heeng…….
“Don’t throw it away. I say don’t throw it away don’t you throw it away? How many times do I have to tell you to believe it?”
-But, what I think in my heart is conveyed. If you do, you’re going to throw me away…….
“So you said you wouldn’t throw it away as much as possible… …. Uhh it happened What are you doing if I tell you It’s emotions, thoughts, and everything works anyway.”
At the point where Min Chaeryeong thought Ahn Soo-ho would die, just in time, Ahn Su-ho was thinking the same thing.
‘I’m really going to die, damn it.’
-Hueeng don’t die……. Master can’t die…….
‘f*ck.’
Ahn Soo-ho let out a deep sigh as he saw Sylvie begging while slapping her wrists.
