Choi Jong-hyuk, who hurried out of the office with his cell phone, carefully answered the phone only after making sure that no one was around.
“Yes, Director.”
“How is it going?”
“…It’s in progress.”
“You’re laughing. But why is there still no news?”
“….”
“Ugh. “I knew it would be like this,”
the middle-aged man muttered, sounding pitiful.
“There are only three days left until the end of the examination. Did I ask for something difficult? Kim Min-ju, you said all you have to do is screw up that bitch’s personality test?”
“That’s easier said than done…”
“Do you think I promoted you just to hear you say that?” ”
….”
Choi Jong-hyuk sighs inwardly. spit out
Yes.
What he demanded in return for informing him of the details of the review was none other than the disqualification of Operation Director Kim Min-ju.
Not only that, but if everything goes well, they offered an additional huge deal: scouting for the International Association.
The final goal of all hunters is Wanna Visa.
Who could turn down this opportunity to become a hunter belonging to an international association?
Choi Jong-hyuk was also tempted by the enormous deal and accepted it without hesitation.
But the problem started after that.
When it came time to pay the price, there was no suitable solution.
That’s right… Isn’t the opponent Kim Min-ju?
Skills, character, reputation and performance.
He is a human being with no flaws whatsoever.
Above all, since all attention is focused on subjugation, there is no way that embezzlement or bribery will work.
Even though I didn’t like this person, I had to admit what I had to admit.
Catching that person’s pod is more difficult than becoming an S rank yourself.
So Choi Jong-hyuk did not pay any attention to his request. Because it was impossible to begin with.
Well, seeing as they even called to urge me like this, I can no longer pretend not to know.
“I heard an intern joined your team this time? “You’re so busy playing tricks on her that you’re not even paying attention, are you?” a
middle-aged man said sharply through the phone.
“…no.”
“No, shit. Anyway, don’t do anything stupid and just do what you’re told. Or are you just going to accept the review information and pretend not to know?”
“…No way.”
“I told you. This was requested directly from me by the International Association. “I heard that if this job goes well, you can go to the International Association.”
“Haa….”
“If you don’t feel like you have anything to complain about, just do what you’re good at.”
“…Yeah?”
“Why do you think I entrusted this task to you? “What’s so beautiful about an unscrupulous guy who puts subjugation on the back burner and always shows off his hunter business card to attract women?” At
that moment, the voice on the other end rang low.
I hesitated to answer for a moment, wondering what he was talking about.
“What… are you going to create a scandal with the head of the department?”
“Yeah, kid. “Is there anything else you’re good at?”
He then continued speaking in a hushed voice.
“Let’s have a drinking party together. After that, take care of it. The picture is nice, right? It would be shocking if the head of the operations headquarters, who was thought to be completely flawless, gets caught up in a scandal. Of course, it will inevitably have an impact on personality evaluations. “Isn’t this the perfect sauce to send in one go?”
“No… what if they cut me off too?”
“Hey you bastard! Are you afraid I can’t even cover that much? And anyway, I’m going to go to Korea after this is over, so selling my face is something I can live with.”
Choi Jong-hyuk placed his chin on his forehead.
It’s too easy to say that it’s just an old man’s words.
How can you create a scandal with the head of the world’s operations headquarters?
No, it was scandalous and outrageous, and the premise was flawed from the start.
In the first place, isn’t he interested in anyone other than that person, Kim Jun-woo?
There is absolutely no reason to meet any man in private, let alone go out drinking…
“Hey! Choi Jonghyuk!”
At that time I thought so.
Team leader Lee Tae-beom rushed over from afar and called out to him.
“…What’s going on?”
Instead of talking on the phone, Choi Jong-hyuk secretly hid his cell phone and answered.
“Did you check this week’s operation schedule?!”
“…no. “Is there something wrong?”
“I just got a call from the control team, and they said that the schedule completely overlapped with the 3rd team’s schedule, so their routes were messed up. “We’ve already sent in a subjugation mission… Ah, it’s bothering you.”
“You left it to an intern, right? I guess they made a mistake. “Let’s go and say something.”
“…Oh no, it wasn’t that big of a problem.”
When the topic of interns came up, Team Leader Lee looked embarrassed.
And then, after hesitating for a moment, he spoke again.
“Well… you should correct it first. Are you fine?”
“No, why did I….”
“Do me a favor, you bastard. I have to go back to the meeting. “Please help me just this once.”
“…ha.”
“Oh, and please bring this to my desk. “I brought it with me because I was in a hurry.”
What he handed over was none other than a motel key.
Because his home was far away and he had to live at headquarters day and night on operation days, he often rented a room for several days.
From the looks of it, he still commutes from the motel these days.
“Anyway, I’d like to ask you a favor!”
“….”
Team leader Lee Tae-beom recklessly left the work to him and hurried back the way he came.
Choi Jong-hyuk looked back and forth between the key that Team Leader Lee gave him and his back.
“…Hey hey! Choi Jonghyuk! “Can’t you hear me?!”
“Now that I think about it…”
Just then, a good thought crossed my mind.
“There’s no need for me to get involved, right?”
“…What?”
“Well, I’ll take care of it for now.”
Choi Jong-hyuk hung up the phone and smiled slightly.
And then he kicked down the office door and entered.
“Hey intern!!”
Moon So-yeon, who was sitting in her seat at the voice, jumped up in surprise.
“I just got a call from the control team, and thanks to that, not only us but other teams have completely messed up their schedules, so we’re not in a mess right now. “How on earth did you do your job?”
“yes yes…?”
“The whole operation was ruined because of you. “How are you going to take responsibility for this!”
“…I’m sorry for my sin.”
“Is that all I’m sorry about? “How much money does one operation cost? Can you ask for that?!”
“….”
Of course, it wasn’t that big of a deal.
Nevertheless, Choi Jong-hyuk needed to exaggerate it as much as possible.
In order to instill a sense of crisis in interns who are risking their lives to be converted to full-time employees.
“I will do everything I can….”
When he heard the answer he had been waiting for, Choi Jong-hyuk tried to hide his smile and approached her.
“You’re going to do everything you can?”
“yes? “Yes…”
“Then from now on, can you do what I tell you without telling anyone?”
“…yes?”
Choi Jong-hyuk took out the motel key he had received from Team Leader Lee a moment ago.

“Is there someone on the committee who is looking after Choi Jong-hyuk?”
Seoul Headquarters Rank Evaluation Committee Office.
When I told her what I had found out so far, she also seemed quite surprised.
“No, there is no use for that person…?
“You don’t know that. “It could be blood or school ties.”
Of course, after a cursory search, there was no one who could be close to Choi Jong-hyuk, but…
“There are not many people on the committee who would know the details of the review in advance and could inform them. Except for me and your father….”
“Outside director Byeong-cheol Ko, director Eun-sook Geum, and director Jang-mok Park. “There are only three of us.”
“Director Geum Eun-sook was unable to participate during the discussion on this practical exam due to other commitments, so no.”
“Then there are two left.”
I answered, crossing my arms.
Honestly, I doubt both.
There is no information about what kind of person Director Koh Byeong-cheol is, and Director Park Jang-mok is a man who has been in a lot of controversy since the association days due to suspicions of receiving entertainment from a specific political party.
‘There are still three days left in the review period to change personnel…’
I let out a light sigh in frustration.
“Anyway, let alone who the culprit is. “What is the purpose?”
Director Lee Ah-young continued to ask questions in a puzzled voice.
“Rank review is only important to hunters, but not that important to civilians. “Even if you promote someone in particular, you wouldn’t benefit at all, right?”
“If you’re not pushing someone up, but knocking someone down, it might be beneficial.”
“…yes?”
I looked at her and continued speaking.
“Didn’t I hit the nail on the head during the screening briefing session? “If you are disqualified in the aptitude test, your hunter qualifications will be revoked.”
“Oh, no way…”
“If you’re using that to intentionally bring down someone who was a thorn in your side, wouldn’t it definitely benefit someone?”
Director Lee Ah-young’s expression hardened, perhaps because he sensed that this was something more unusual than he thought.
“So who are you trying to drop?”
“If you say that someone would benefit from just having their Hunter qualifications revoked…”
Well, there’s only one person, right?
Currently the main force and highest power of Karma Corporation.
“Chief of Operations Kim Min-ju.”
“…!”
When her name came out, Director Lee Ah-young reflexively put her hand to her mouth.
Yes, no matter how much she is the head of the operation headquarters and a key member of the Karma Corporation, she is now just one of the candidates for review, like any other hunter.
If she is disqualified from the personality test for some reason, no matter how much I am, I will not be able to prevent the disqualification.
“But… no one in the association will benefit from Minjoo’s failure. “Not just anyone can get up there.”
“you’re right. “At least there is no one within the association who will benefit from that guy failing.”
I continued speaking with my eyes sparkling.
“What if it was an international association?”
“…!”
Kim Min-ju is Karma Corporation’s top force, both in name and reality.
Not only is his individual ability outstanding, he is currently leading almost all operations and achieving tremendous results.
Above all, as my right-hand man, he is a reliable force who can successfully resolve any mission.
If such a person leaves, Karma Corporation will inevitably shrink.
So, if someone really intervenes in this review and tries to discredit Kim Min-ju, it will most likely be the International Association.
“You think one of the board members may have been in contact with the Lions Clubs International…?”
“Of course, this is just speculation. “I guess I’ll have to check the details now.”
I continued speaking, shifting my gaze towards Director Lee Ah-young.
“Please call both Director Byeong-cheol Ko and Director Jang-mok Park here right now. “I’ll have to talk to each of them one by one.”
“all right.”
She got up immediately.
And then.
“CEO!”
Moon So-yeon opened the office door with a very urgent look on her face.
“Moon So-yeon…? “What’s going on?”
“Well, Choi Jong-hyuk just gave me this and told me to take it to Min-joo’s office…” What
Moon So-yeon took out with those words was none other than a motel key.
“What on earth does this mean…?”
“….”
“….”
her.
Look at this guy?

“No really?!”
“Be quiet, man.”
Headquarters rooftop.
Choi Jong-hyuk, who was smoking a cigarette with his classmates Go Hyeon-jong and Park Tae-ha, lowered his voice and said.
“Don’t make such a fuss. “I might have seen it wrong.”
“No, anyway, didn’t you say you saw the team leader and the general manager going into the motel?”
“Team leader, I heard this is your second birthday? “How are you trying to see your wife’s face?”
“Oh, I heard you may have looked at it wrong. “You could have at least had a meeting at the hotel.”
Choi Jong-hyuk swallowed his laughter and waved his hands as if trying to calm things down.
Of course, it wasn’t my sincere intention to protect them.
“Hey, does that make sense!”
“I thought I was obsessed with the CEO… but now I see he’s a complete fox.”
“That’s right. “It’s shocking, it’s shocking.”
It was just to elicit this kind of reaction.
Soon Choi Jong-hyuk whispered to the two people with a very serious face.
“Anyway, this is a secret. “If I misunderstood, I’m sorry to them both, okay?”
“Okay, kid.”
“Of course we have to crack down on it.”
Although I asked him to please me several times, Choi Jong-hyuk actually knew.
It won’t take less than a day for this scandal to spread.
