late.
After leaving the headquarters, I headed to the Ares Guild office.
If all the guilds in Seoul were moving, there was no way that they, the number one guild, would not know the inside story.
But that judgment was spectacularly wrong.
“You said you had no idea?”
“It’s a shame, but it is.”
Cha Seok-hyun looked quite serious, unlike when he visited in the afternoon.
It didn’t seem like he was lying, but it was true that I still didn’t understand it.
“No, it’s the number one guild that is the center of guild connections, but you didn’t even know about it?”
“Representative Yoo Ji-woo of the Aphrodite Guild said that the guild’s movements have been strange over the past few days. However, I never imagined that we would conduct an intercept as a group. No matter how much ill-will there is towards the association, I never thought it would come out this way…”
“Are you saying that the Aphrodite Guild didn’t even know about this incident?”
“That’s right. “It seems that only we and the Aphrodite Guild in Seoul have heard the news in advance.”
“But it’s strange. If guilds were to intercept each other, the 1st and 5th place guilds would have been a great help in strength, so why weren’t they placed on the same side? “Did something happen that made you feel embarrassed by another guild?”
“Not at all. It may be a bit awkward to say this, but we can confidently say that we are close friends with all guilds. Above all, if this incident was planned between the guilds, there’s no way we wouldn’t know about it.”
“Then it’s even more strange…”
Hmm, I let out a light breath.
If you are simply conducting an interception to protest the association, there is no reason not to include the 1st and 5th ranked guilds. No, aside from recruiting, you should have said something.
However, no matter how much you think about it, it doesn’t make sense to say that you had no clue.
“There are more than 20 guilds in Seoul alone. The total number of people will be approximately 1,000. In order for this number of people to unite and conduct simultaneous intercepts, a leader is absolutely necessary. “He is a skilled leader who is knowledgeable about subjugation and can influence the entire guild.”
Cha Seok-hyun’s frown narrowed significantly. It is a clear sign of displeasure.
“Are you really doubting me now?”
“It’s the opposite. “I tell you this with 100% confidence in Cha Seok-hyun.”
Although he spoke firmly, Cha Seok-hyun still had a skeptical expression.
“Then who is the leader?”
“If he is a person inside the guild, there is no way Cha Seok-hyeon wouldn’t know about it. So, it is highly likely that he is someone outside the guild.”
“…Freelance Hunter?”
“yes. Among freelance hunters, there are not many people capable of commanding an interception of this scale. Well, if there’s someone that comes to mind right now…”
He tapped his forehead before opening his mouth.
“There must be Hunter Yang Min-ho.”
Cha Seok-hyun reacted loudly.
He raised his voice with round eyes.
“Now wait a minute. That person is the No. 1 hunter in the country! “Why do you regret doing something like this?”
“I’m just singling out one of the people who can make this happen. “There is no evidence that he did it.”
I said it was just a guess, but in fact, I am already convinced in my heart.
Because I was just recalling memories from before I returned.
Minho Yang.
In a previous life, he was the second-highest hunter in the country after me.
Of course, it would be more correct to call him a problem solver rather than a hunter.
The guy who was called ‘the cleaner’ on this floor was a bastard who wouldn’t hesitate to do all kinds of dirty requests as long as he was paid.
The problem is that even though he was wandering around here and there, all kinds of high-ranking people, from high-ranking police officials to politicians, were watching his back, so no one could easily touch him.
‘I don’t really want to have anything to do with that bastard…’
Even I took a break.
It was obvious that if I touched it for no reason, no good results would come of it.
In any case, if we say that he received a request from someone and incited the guilds to cause the interception, this whole situation can be roughly explained.
“I’m just asking, just in case. Are you acquainted with Hunter Yang Minho?”
“We know each other, but… he was not the right kind of person for us, so we lost him a long time ago.”
“What about guild leader Yu Ji-woo?”
“Same.”
“Then it roughly fits together.”
“Are you saying that you deliberately kept it from being leaked to us because you thought Jiwoo and I would interfere if they found out?”
“There’s no other way to explain it.”
Cha Seok-hyun was not quick to refute my words.
He probably also vaguely knows what kind of person Yang Min-ho is.
Silence fell in the office for a moment.
He also seemed to have quite a complicated mind.
After remaining silent, he suddenly lowered his head.
“…sorry. “Even if we don’t have a good relationship with the association, I didn’t want to have a confrontation like this.”
“no. “It’s not for Cha Seok-hyun to apologize.”
He’s a needlessly honest guy.
“So what do you plan to do now? As expected, legal responsibility….”
“We are hoping so within the association.”
“That’s not what the manager thought.”
“What…”
I couldn’t bring myself to speak.
I don’t think I’ll be able to resign if a legal battle breaks out, so how can I say that I want to resolve it on my own terms?
“Regardless of the financial aspect, it is a dungeon that must be defeated no matter who it is, so what big deal would it be if a few different people did it?”
“….”
Cha Seok-hyun looked very surprised.
I continued speaking casually.
“Well, we are in a position to pay our employees’ salaries, so we can’t ignore the damage… but it is something that can be resolved somehow.”
Of course, the head of the department who will be appointed after me will have to resolve this.
“Anyway, I don’t want to make a big deal out of it.”
“As expected…”
“Yes?”
“no.”
Soon, a smile appeared on Cha Seok-hyun’s lips.
But it was only for a moment that he spoke again.
“But we can’t just leave it like this.”
“Well, that’s true.”
I crossed my arms and gathered my thoughts for a moment.
After thinking about it here and there, I opened my mouth.
“Well, if Hunter Yang Minho is really behind you, there’s no need to stop the guild.”
“But there’s no evidence that he did it.”
“You’ll find out if you look for it yourself.”
“No matter what, you’ll have to move quickly. “If conflict starts to arise, it will get out of hand.”
I nodded.
okay. First, you have to go to Yang Min-ho and either threaten him or negotiate.
It won’t be easy to find him because he doesn’t show his true self very often, but…
‘I guess there was a bar that he frequented in Itaewon.’
Just as I was about to gather my thoughts and get up first, Jinah Heo, the accounting department, threw open the office door.
“Representative, Representative! “Operation Team 1 encountered the Chilseong Guild that was intercepting near Sillim-dong!”
Fuck…
“Looks like you’re late.”
Cha Seok-hyun’s expression darkened significantly.
It was the same for me too.
***
In front of the dungeon where the subjugation was completed near Sillim-dong.
The two camps were continuing their confrontation in a bloody atmosphere.
Amid a moment of silence, Guild Leader Son Jong-hyun spoke first.
“Before you exert yourself? Are you saying that the operations team will use force against the civilian guild?”
“There’s nothing I can’t do if necessary.”
Kim Min-ju also did not back down.
Of course, I had no intention of fighting all the time.
Above all, there were no instructions from Kim Jun-woo. That would mean that Kim Jun-woo is also still watching the situation.
In the meantime, it was impossible to act alone.
‘But I can’t just let you go…’
I opened my mouth with the intention of making a threat.
“Can you afford to pay for the damages?”
“I have no intention of handling it.”
“You’re more shameless than I thought.”
“Is the association in a position to say something like that? Don’t you even remember what you did to us? “Are you calling it shameful?”
Kim Min-ju did not answer.
Of course, Minju Kim has no recollection of doing anything to the guild.
Even if he did, Soo-Yong Lee would have done it.
Guild leader Son Jong-hyun’s words couldn’t help but resonate with me.
“Anyway, why are you doing this? “If something has accumulated, can’t we just send an official letter?”
“Do you think we haven’t tried it before? “There was no reaction to a few pieces of paper, but when I saw that he came running as soon as I intercepted him a few times, I knew he was going to do this.”
The words made more sense than I thought.
Kim Min-ju shook his head with a deep sigh.
“All right. “Still, I need you to come with me for now.”
“I refuse.”
“Haa….”
It seemed impossible to resolve the issue further through conversation.
“If this happens, there is nothing I can do about it.”

[The caster’s strength stat increases significantly]
Immediately, Kim Min-ju’s whole body began to heat up and steam began to rise.
“This is your final warning. “Follow me when I say nice things.”
As soon as the words were finished, the hunters of Operation Team 1 were ready for battle.
Of course, the Chilseong Guild also did not sit still.
“I would have said no.”
[Unique Skill: Beast – White Tiger]
Guild leader Son Jong-hyeon.
A beast class hunter and ranked 22nd in the country.
His appearance instantly changed into half-human and half-animal.
At the same time, the Hunters of the Seven Star Guild raised their respective weapons.
It meant that they would be willing to engage in armed conflict.
There was tension between the two camps.
Everyone there had an intuition.
The moment someone takes even one step, war will break out.
“All of Operation Team 1…”
Finally, Minju Kim opened her mouth.
“Oh shit! “I can’t fucking catch a taxi!”
A welcome voice was heard from afar.
When Kim Min-ju hurriedly turned his head, Kim Jun-woo was running from far away.
“Heo, heo, heo…”
Kim Jun-woo stopped between the two camps and took a deep breath.
After a while, he straightened his back and opened his mouth in a soft voice.
“Ugh, why are grown adults fighting among themselves?”
The eyes of the entire Seven Star Guild turned to him.
“Are you… Director Kim Jun-woo?”
“yes. “I’m in charge, so please talk to me from now on.”
Laughs broke out here and there.
“Hey, the head of the headquarters came by himself?”
“Are you trying to catch us and throw us away?”
“try! “We can’t stand still anymore!”
“Now, don’t get excited…”
Kim Jun-woo showed his palm and tried to calm them down. But the more it happened, the more heated the situation became.
Protests mixed with shouting and booing continued to flow in.
It was not possible to continue the conversation.
“You guys are really annoying.”
[Acquired Skill: Destroyer]
Boom!!!
A powerful explosion occurred in the air.
Absolutely tremendous power.
In the aftermath, everyone around them lost their balance and fell.
“Please be quiet. “Let me talk.”
Kim Jun-woo said with a stern face.
“I…!”
“You’re finally showing your true colors!”
“Just kill them all? Yes, fucking kill me!”
But the situation did not improve at all.
Some people even fell and started lying down on the floor.
‘I’m going to go back.’
Kim Jun-woo shook his head.
It was that moment.
“An accident occurred near Jamsil! “An accident has occurred!”
Kim Min-ju’s radio rang, breaking the commotion in the area.
“An accident occurred?”
“It looks like a problem occurred while a guild was intercepting an orange-level dungeon!”
Damn it. I’m having an accident.
I ran my fingers through my hair.
The problem was that the contents of the radio transmission were also relayed to the Chilseong Guild.
“Buy, buy…?”
“There is an Earl Gray guild near Jamsil…”
“In the Earl Gray guild, guild leader Son Jong-hyun’s wife is…”
He said, hastily taking Kim Min-ju’s radio.
“This is Kim Jun-woo, the head of the Operation Headquarters. “All operations teams, please dispatch to the orange-level dungeon near Jamsil immediately.”
“All operations teams?”
“Yes. “All operational teams. All operational teams within the association are requested to engage in rescue operations immediately.”
After hanging up the radio, I also immediately started moving.
Why the fuck are you doing such a useless thing?
