Han Seol-ah, who took Park Se-ah and Kim Hyung-sik into another car, got on the steering wheel and rode alone with Tae-jeong.
“How did you come here?”
“Compassionateness. I have something to tell you. I heard you became the regional captain. late but congratulations I heard you did a great job in the Battle of Yeongji? It’s amazing, to be able to do that in such a short period of time. Besides, you’ve been in the guild for three months now, right?”
“Thanks to my sister for helping me back then.”
“What a great thing that is. Seo-jin started to take an interest in you through this incident.”
“Are you the leader?”
“yes. I think the World War National War will be the final evaluation.”
“then… … .”
“It means that you will be approved to join based on your achievements. Of course, your will matters.”
Tae-jeong’s heart started pounding at the unexpected words.
membership of the club.
Even simply looking at it, entering this place itself was a huge task for an individual.
You can tell just by looking at the fact that the golden lion and the invincible, who were said to be great, didn’t even cheep.
A non-standard group that no one can touch.
area of inviolability.
It was a place that every man should try at least once.
Of course, that opportunity is not given to everyone.
With extremely limited resources, and among those resources, only the super-elites are given that privilege.
It was this that surprised Tae-jung.
This is because the opportunity that I thought would come after at least a few years came too soon.
“You still don’t change your mind? Thinking of coming in.”
“yes. It’s the romance of hunters.”
“It’s a romance. If you come in, you’ll know it’s not at all. Oh yeah. Have you ever been to a labyrinth?”
“ah. yes.”
“Then you know the rules.”
“I memorized it for now.”
“Oh, how far? Well done. You’ll know later when you grow up, but you’ll get a lot of information unknown to the world. A privilege that only Hidden has. No, should I say it is a burden to carry? Anyway, you’d better focus on growth. Even if it’s a world war, there’s only half a year left.”
“yes. By the way… … .”
“Yes, tell me.”
“Are they going to go away?”
“who? oh those idiots? Shouldn’t that be the case? The more things you have to protect, the more afraid you are.”
Han Seol-ah was right.
It was her notoriety that warranted it.
Only a few people around her seemed normal, but to others, Han Seol-ah was no different from the incarnation of evil.
The anecdote of killing up to 3,000 people in one day is still talked about.
She was arguably the only Hunter who committed such a massacre in Korea.
Of course, it happened overseas, but it was no different in Korea.
This is because the group she belongs to does not follow the laws of Hansando.
It could be said that it is a relationship in which consultations are made on an equal footing.
This meant that if she did it, she would do it.
“You know how to drive, right? I will stand in front of you.”
“Will you just go?”
“I came in for a while because Seo-jin wanted to go. The club isn’t even in the middle of a war right now.”
Saying that, she stopped the car on a deserted road and got out.
Tae-jeong, who got off after her, asked.
“What are you going to ride?”
“me? this.”
Suddenly, a portal was summoned in front of Seolah Han.
And then she slowly disappears.
The portal also quickly disappeared.
“Anyway. Because you are like a ghost.”
* * *
The Gold Lion executive conference room.
The golden lion, who was in a mourning mood because of what happened in the morning, eventually made the final decision to accept all of Han Seol-ah’s requirements.
“damn. decomposition. I think I am going crazy with resentment.”
Choi Cheol-ho of the Golden Lion, who was still alone in the meeting room, was so angry that he was on the verge of dying.
It was because I never expected that the empress would intervene in this way.
“The crazy bitch is clear. No, both Hansan and these bastards are a problem. Those who claim to be in charge of the country can’t control a single gangster like that, so they create this division.”
Choi Cheol-ho believed in Hansan-do.
The Superman Club and the secret pact they made.
As a condition of not touching, the club was also supposed to stay out of domestic affairs.
But what happened today was a disregard for it.
The top ranker in Korea from Hansando sent her away without even making a sound.
What was even more shocking was that they raised Seolah Han’s hand, not theirs.
“The country is going back to shit. It’s dirty, so I’ll have to leave here, Won.”
I couldn’t beat my anger, and I was getting angry, but someone opened the door to the meeting room and came in.
He was Shim Hyeon-seop, head of the security department of the security unit.
“why? What else is going on?”
“The results of the first investigation of the first-class warehouse in Central District C have been released.”
“okay? Who ate it?”
“that is… It turned out that the hunters who were standing guard were not. The alibi movement was clear, and the inventory was clean.”
“then? Did a ghost come and steal it away?”
Choi Cheol-ho was even more annoyed after hearing the report.
Shim Hyeon-seop, who was watching him, cautiously opened his mouth.
“However, the guards said that the engineering department 2nd division commander came in and out briefly this morning.”
“Choi Dasom?”
“Yes. He said he was out to check the security system.”
“Dasom Choi’s security system? She has no authority, what the hell are you talking about?”
“I thought it was strange too, but everyone said that.”
“There was Choi Da-som… the most som. so? Where is Choi Da-som now?”
“I am working at an engineering college.”
“What a fool.”
“Yes?”
“If the interrogation results are so, shouldn’t we take her away and investigate right away? What are you doing? Do you think this is a case of 100 million or 200 million won? It’s 1.8 trillion, 1.8 trillion.”
“But the captain of the second division is the guild leader’s companion… … .”
“I like you. Grab it right now, right now!”
“ah. Yes!”

Shortly after the meeting with the golden lion, Jenix began to return the stolen businesses one by one.
Han Seol-ah’s threat worked well.
Thanks to that, the guild regained vitality after a long time, but Taejeong’s goal was deep.
‘How did it go? Isn’t it wrong because of me?’
Dasom Choi told her not to worry, but since she was a human, she couldn’t help but be concerned.
Could the current situation have been created without her help?
No matter how much he was, he couldn’t have done anything like this.
So, to him, Choi Da-som was a woman who was no different from a lifesaver.
Moreover, she is not a complete stranger, but a friend.
Eventually he had no choice but to pick up the phone.
“Oh, is it Seokho? Has Dasom not contacted you?”
-no. why?
“ah. It’s nothing. Give me your phone number.”
-Five. Are you finally trying to contact me? well thought out
“It’s not what you think. Anyway, text me.”
-OK.
After a while.
Her phone number was sent via text message.
I’m calling right away.
-hello?
“Choi Da-som?”
-oh. Are you Taejeong?
“Oh, it’s me… Just in case something happened.”
-Work? don’t you have anything like that?
“Aren’t you in trouble because of me?”
– Trouble. I told you. There is a hole through which to escape.
“Because I haven’t seen it myself.”
-You are really the same as before.
“what?”
-You were worried in advance about something that never happened. Right now, we can’t afford to worry about warehouses. you know what we’re in
“That’s true. Still, the price wouldn’t be too bad.”
-I’m really fine. Really Thank you so much for your concern. I’m a little busy with an overseas business trip that I scheduled from a year ago.
“business trip?”
-yes. I was working on a big project before. Thanks for contacting me before going though. I was going to call to tell you not to worry. Too busy.
“I see. I thought you might be in trouble because of me. I’m glad it went well anyway. Then it will be difficult to contact you for a while?”
-maybe? Because only the guild’s long-distance communication would be possible.
“When are you coming back?”
-Well. I think I will have to live for a full year or two because I am sewing the first button to advance into Europe.
“okay? Then, be sure to call me when you come in.”
-why?
“I received such great help, but if I shut my mouth like this, I am not human. Call me once you get in.”
– Seeing you say that. Are you ready to buy me a house?
“Is something like a house a problem?”
-uh? Taejeong-ah, I think I should stop because of my preparations. I’ll go and tell you a lot about what I’ve seen and heard.
“Ugh. okay. Prepare well and proceed carefully. Thank you, really. I will definitely repay you for this favor.”
-yes.
pop.
After hanging up the phone, Tae-jeong was finally able to breathe.
From what I’ve heard, it doesn’t seem like anything major has happened.
The situation seemed quite daunting just by working with the Zenix Guild.
Furthermore, because he also had information, he was aware of Dasom Choi’s position within the Golden Lion Guild to some extent.
Even the fact that he himself had a very strong relationship with a person in the top 30 of the guild hierarchy and a very high position.
According to rumors, there were even rumors of an engagement.
“It looks like it went well for now, but… … .”
* * *
The golden lion Choi Da-som’s lodging.
After talking with Tae-jung, she muttered while fiddling with her cell phone.
“Is this enough?”
It was something meaningful.
what the hell happened
When I left the room, I heard someone from the living room.
And a man with a familiar silhouette.
Seeing that, she seemed a bit surprised, and she immediately erased her expression and asked.
“Since when have you been here?”
“I arrived a little while ago.”
“Did you hear?”
“… … ”
“I heard you.”
“sorry.”
“Pretend I didn’t hear.”
“I heard on the way, but the atmosphere in the security department is unusual.”
“I know.”
“Why did you do that?”
“Are you interrogating me?”
“That’s not the case, but now the status of the unit commander… … .”
She interrupted the man.
“How old are we? 6 years. Was it around that time?”
“That’s right. That day, the unit commander came to rescue me from being trapped in the dungeon despite everyone’s dissuade. Even if it was a first meeting.”
“Because I was the only blood relative of the uncle who took care of me here. I couldn’t bear to leave.”
“It was reckless.”
“You lived. Then it happened. Do you remember what you said to me on the day Mr. I promise to be by your side no matter what happens. You will protect me.”
“Can you forget? It was also my father’s will.”
“Then, keep that will.”
“But, Captain.”
“This is a request, not an order. I may look stupid in your eyes, but I also have something I want to protect. If I can’t keep it… Even if I live, I will not live. Can you keep it a secret until the end? That will keep me.”
“… … .”
The man could not easily answer that question.
You can clearly see what kind of trouble you will go through, but you keep your mouth shut.
What’s more, if you didn’t know, you’d already heard of it.
But he knew.
I mean, she’s a do-it-yourself person.
So that day, 6 years ago.
He entered the place where the survival rate was less than 10% and saved himself.
overcoming everyone’s opposition.
“Is he that important to the unit commander?”
“Someone important? he was my everything And once he too… so. Help me. Please.”
He finally averted his gaze at her earnest gaze and spoke reluctantly.
“I don’t really understand, but… Okay. I will do that.”
“thank you.”
Hmm.. agak gimana gitu
