The Dungeon Cleaning Life of a Once Genius Hunter - Chapter 97

It’s been a week since the story about the construction of the training center came out.

Things went fairly smoothly.

It wasn’t difficult to get the most important project budget.

Only the area had not been confirmed, but the construction itself was already on the agenda, so the budget had already been set.

Whether it was because of Lee Ah-young’s business plan or because of a phone call, even that was processed quickly and construction permission was granted.

Kim Min-ju was involved in the operation to help the branch, and the 3 teams in charge of Han Yu-bin supported them.

Team leader Pyun also took charge of coordinating the schedules of all teams.

Manager Kang Hyeong-won, who was skeptical at first, was no longer anxious as he watched the work proceed smoothly in real time.

I just watched blankly with my mouth open.

Naturally, branch employees also became busier, but no one complained.

How can anyone be dissatisfied when all the key players at headquarters are helping out?

Well, that doesn’t mean everyone was dissatisfied.

“Anyway… We’re busy with work, so I’m not sure if we can stay here like this.”

At the construction site that had just begun next to the branch, Lee Ah-young let out a sigh of frustration.

“It would have been less tiring in one way or another to just cancel the contract.”

“That’s true, but… doesn’t that mean we’re running away?”

“Why is that so important to my business?”

“Well, this will be a turning point for us as well. “I assure you.”

“…If you say so, I have nothing more to say.”

Director Lee Ah-young pouted.

“Representative! CEO Kim Jun-woo!”

At that time, the branch staff hurriedly found me.

“What is it?”

“Protesters are now gathering in front of the branch. It looks like the guild guys got involved…”

“Well, that’s what I expected.”

In the first place, it was not something that could be rubbed against Choi Ho-seong.

In the end, all he can do is raise his voice.

Still, I lasted a week.

“I need to come back for a bit.”

“Please. “Be sure to accept the apology.”

I roughly nodded and walked away.

As we headed towards the branch building, as expected, several guilds were sitting on the floor and shouting slogans.

[We desperately oppose the construction of a training center!]

[We cannot entrust our lives to new hunters!]

[The lives of citizens are not for training!]

[An association to save citizens? An association that kills citizens!]

‘This is how it comes out as expected.’

From the looks of it, it’s not just guilds.

It seemed as if all kinds of civic groups participated.

Since they are using unproven new hunters for actual subjugation, their opinion cannot be said to be entirely wrong.

But that’s just a good excuse.

‘If you’re going to do it, at least make it invisible.’

Of course, the reason they are protesting is not for the citizens.

If things continue like this, it’s obvious that they’ll open their eyes and their food bowls will be taken away, so all they can do is find an appropriate reason to bark.

Among the gathered crowd, members of the Baekje guild, including guild leader Shim Hyun-soo, were seen.

“Oh, the owner of that cleaning company!!”

“everyone! “That guy gently tempted Manager Kang Hyeong-won!”

“Withdraw!”

“Withdraw!!”

It screamed and rushed towards me.

Fortunately, the police took urgent control and no collision occurred, but the atmosphere did not seem like it would subside easily.

The look even showed desperation.

“Haa…”

I took a deep sigh and looked around at them.

No matter what I say here, I don’t think anyone will listen to it, and one way or another, I have to see the end.

It might be a bit annoying, but there’s nothing you can do about it.

“All right. “Then let’s negotiate.”

***

A few days later, in the Suncheon branch conference room.

I invited representatives from other guilds, including guild leader Shim Hyun-soo, and set up a separate meeting.

Of course, Director Kang Hyeong-won, currently in charge of the Suncheon branch, also attended.

Somber eyes.

No matter who they were, everyone looked like they were going to die if they were pushed out of here.

“Then quickly get to the point…”

“Wait a minute.”

Guild leader Shim Hyeon-soo opened his mouth, probably in a hurry, but I stopped him.

“There are still more people to come.”

“…Who else is coming?”

“You’ll see.”

smart-.

“You’re here just in time.”

As soon as I spoke, the conference room door opened and two men entered.

“Haha, it’s been a while! how are you?”

“sure. “Looking at your expression, it looks like the guild leader is still the same.”

“I’m always like that. haha!”

Still a lively laugh.

The first guest was Cha Seok-hyeon, the leader of Ares, the current No. 1 guild in Korea.

“Your face has opened up a bit. “Do you think the water outside is nice?”

“It’s been a while, Director.”

And the second guest who came in after him was Lee Doo-sik, the current planning director of the Ability Dimension Association.

“…what what!”

“Guild leader Cha Seok-hyeon?!”

“If Lee Doo-sik is the director, isn’t he a big name in the association…?”

The meeting room instantly became noisy due to the appearance of two giants out of nowhere.

Guild leader Cha Seok-hyun and director Lee Du-sik took their seats and at the same time, everyone began to look at each other.

“Then it looks like we’re all there, so let’s start discussions.”

Then, as if he had been waiting, Bravo Guild CEO Kim Sang-woo spoke.

“No matter how low the dungeon difficulty is, we cannot leave the subjugation to new hunters. Citizens are in danger…”

“Drink to the limit. Let’s be honest. Let’s be honest.”

I continued, interrupting him a bit harshly.

“Is there anyone here who doesn’t know that they are afraid that their food bowls will be taken away when they enter the training center?”

“….”

“….”

Those are very honest responses.

“To be honest, the Suncheon branch does not plan to distribute dungeons to private guilds from now on. “I think Guild Leader Shim Hyun-soo knows best why.”

“….”

When I pointed it out, his eyes were confused.

If you hadn’t acted so foolishly, this wouldn’t have happened.

“No matter what, so suddenly…”

“If you at least reconsider…”

Guild leader Kim Sang-woo of the Bravo guild and Cha Yeon-ju of the Jiknyeo guild, unaware of the circumstances, opened their mouths one after another.

Then this time, Director Lee Du-sik immediately shook his head.

“In the association, branches take precedence over guilds. “For the sake of the Suncheon branch, we have no intention of withdrawing the plan to build a training center.”

“Then… we really all die. Are you really saying that the association, which has signed partner contracts with all guilds in Seoul, will ignore local guilds?”

“no way. “The association does not intend to ignore your grievances and proceed blindly.”

Director Lee Du-sik’s gaze turned to the side.

“That’s why I came here.”

Guild leader Cha Seok-hyeon took over the baton.

“Well, I’m not the one who manages the national guild, but I can at least help. We plan to build a bridge to all guilds in Suncheon and branches across the country. However, on the condition that a formal one-to-one contract is signed with the branch.”

“What do you mean…?”

“The idea is to prohibit the practice of one guild being exclusively distributed dungeons and redistributing them to surrounding guilds, as is currently the case. “Such a collusive relationship causes power to be concentrated on one side, and unreasonable things continue to happen to both sides.”

As soon as guild leader Cha Seok-hyeon finished speaking, silence fell in the conference room.

They say they will abolish the practice of Baekje guilds exclusively distributing dungeons and distributing them to surrounding guilds, and will now officially sign contracts with each guild to distribute dungeons.

Of course, it was a good opportunity for the surrounding guilds, who had until now only received dungeon distribution through the Baekje guild.

Of course, if that happens, the worst situation will be that the Baekje guild will no longer be able to interact with any other guild.

“Now wait a minute! “Shouldn’t Guild Leader Cha Seok-hyeon think on our side?”

Guild leader Shim Hyun-soo immediately noticed and stood up.

Guild leader Cha Seok-hyeon’s brow furrowed.

“side? What are you talking about? Wasn’t it Shim Hyun-soo, the guild leader, who said that we should coexist? “Is favoring one side more advantageous than what you call coexistence?”

“….”

“From what I heard, is it true that Guild Leader Shim Hyun-soo has been working in Suncheon and has been coercing for guild development funds?”

“…It wasn’t coercion.”

“Did you know that collecting guild development funds is officially prohibited? If you are asking for something illegal, what is it if not coercion?”

“….”

“Also, they abused the dispatched cleaners harshly and even extorted money from them for ridiculous reasons such as dungeon entrance fees. “This is clearly a crime.”

As guild leader Cha Seok-hyeon continued to speak, guild leader Shim Hyun-soo’s gaze increasingly turned to the floor.

“Is this really the only way I can trust and entrust you with dungeons in the future?”

At that time, Director Lee Doo-sik helped.

Director Lee Du-sik folded his arms and opened his mouth in a heavy voice.

“From what I hear, it doesn’t seem like it’s something that happened just once or twice… There’s no way for us to do this either.”

“…yes yes?”

“The Baekje Guild will be excluded from the dungeon distribution list of branches across the country from now on.”

An expression that makes you feel like your heart has dropped.

Additionally, I could see my hands shaking.

It’s a natural reaction.

Excluding distribution list.

It was as if the Baekje guild had been sentenced to not be distributed dungeons anywhere in the future.

It’s over.

That was the car I was thinking of.

“I was wrong.”

Suddenly he fell to his knees.

“We will make sure something like this never happens again. Please forgive me just once… just once.”

It’s like apologizing after things have come to this point.

I shook my head at that ugly and pathetic appearance.

Soon I got up and approached him.

“Guild leader Shim Hyun-soo.”

“yes yes.”

“Didn’t I tell you that? “I’m sure you’ll regret what happened that day forever.”

“….”

The eyes looking up at me began to tremble.

“There’s no need to go to this length, right…”

Finally, he appeals to his emotions in a tearful voice.

Was he someone who was looking for recognition like that?

“well. “Did you really need to do that to my employees?”

“….”

“Don’t worry too much. We will properly pay the penalty for canceling this month’s dungeon distribution. Well… think of it as the guild development fund that I wasn’t able to give you before.”

When he didn’t respond, I tapped his cheek a few times and turned my back.

“Negotiations will end here. If everyone agrees, you can go back. And the branch where you will sign the contract will issue an official letter later, so please wait until then.”

The guild leaders kept their mouths shut and hurried out of the conference room.
