“See, you’re calling right now again today.”

The four people who should have gone up to the dormitory were secretly watching Geon-woo talking on the phone with Seo-jun in the conference room.

In fact, it was almost impossible for them to completely hide their presence from Geon-woo, who was a class A hunter.

He did not have a stealth skill, and even if he did have the skill, there was a high probability that it would not have worked against an A-class hunter.

“But.. is it okay to eavesdrop on you like this?”

“Hmm, I’m curious..”

Arin made an awkward expression.

“But, honestly, I think it’s okay to listen to it.”

Chae-yoon looked bewildered that Na-hyeon, who would normally have been the first to object, suddenly took Arin’s side.

“No, that’s right. Honestly, there’s no way Gilma-nim can’t read our presence.”

As an unexpected story came out of Nahyun’s mouth, everyone just looked at each other with wide eyes.

“Is that so..?”

Arin, who used to see Geon-wu talking on the phone by himself, felt goosebumps all over her body.

Arin kept forgetting that Geon-woo was an A-level hunter because he didn’t do anything special.

“…Oh, am I going to get scolded?”

“That’s not it. Doesn’t the fact that I let you overhear all this time mean that it was meant to be heard in the first place?”

Nahyun was usually quiet, but Arin slowly explained as if she was frustrated.

After listening to Nahyun’s words, I thought it was plausible.

“Then should I just ask Gilma outright?! Who is he! Are you our fan? Or are you from Sogang?”

“No matter what, it’s a bit…”

Nahyeon, who wasn’t expecting this kind of ending, looked embarrassed.

“Yes, Arin. If it was okay to ask outright, wouldn’t Gilma have said it first?”

Chae-yoon, who thought that if it were a matter that could be discussed openly, would not have done so by telling people to listen to it, agreed with Na-hyeon’s opinion and stepped forward.

If you think about Geon-woo’s personality that we’ve seen so far, that was definitely true.

With Seojun’s permission, I told him without hesitation everything that didn’t need to be hidden.

“..It’s difficult.. They say they will listen to the call, but they don’t allow you to ask questions out loud..”

Arin was lost in worry.

“But more than that, why are you so obsessed with the person you’re talking to?”

Chae-yoon watched Arin and asked her what she was most curious about.

It’s an issue that can be ignored by thinking that you just have a simple fan or that you’re reporting to someone from Sogang.

I didn’t really understand why Arin was so stubborn about it.

It might have been different if Arin’s usual personality was one of obsessively digging into something, but that wasn’t the case either.

“Well, well… honestly, I don’t know. Just persimmon? point? I feel like they keep saying there’s something hidden there.”

Arin was also frustrated because she didn’t know how to explain it.

Arin herself was the one who wanted to know why she was acting like this.

“Do you feel that it is very important or something like that?”

“Yeah, I feel like there’s a huge secret hidden there. Well, it’s literally just a feeling and feel. I’m not sure this is correct, but…”

“But it would still be fun to find something hidden!”

Unlike Na-hyeon or Chae-yoon, Su-a took Arin’s side.

“And what’s more, it’s a secret that Gilma is hiding! This is precious!”

In fact, it was curiosity based on simple fun and pleasure.

Still, Arin felt reassured that there was at least one person on her side.

“Well, okay. Then, the two of you try hard to find out the secret. I’ll go in first.”

“Me too.”

Chae-yoon and Na-hyeon shrugged their shoulders and went up to the dormitory first, as if they had no intention of wasting any more time.

“Hmm, shall we go soon? Arin unnie.”

“Oh, but..”

“No, I think the call ended quickly.”

While the four people were talking like that, Seojun and Geonwoo’s phone call was already coming to an end.

“Okay, then take a break. I guess I’ll just have to go in today. yes yes. Ah, I think Dahyun will like it. Thank you.”

My daughter’s name came up, I said thank you, and the phone call ended for good.

“Oh, let’s go quickly. If I keep doing this, I will get caught.”

“According to what Nahyeon and Chaeyun said, it seems like they’ve already been caught.”

“Ugh.. Anyway, it’s a bit like that when we face each other in public.”

“That’s right.”

Sua, who was still smiling, and Arin, who looked a little embarrassed, held hands and went up to the dormitory.

“Hmm, Nahyeon is quick-witted.”

And Geon-wu, who listened to most of their conversation, was impressed by Na-hyeon’s insight.

“Did you say it too openly?”

I thought that I might have been a little impatient in wanting to tell you about the existence of Seojun.

When I saw Arin showing interest, I did something like this because I wanted to tell her more.

It was clear that Seojun would be extremely angry if he found out.

‘Should I be a little more careful for the time being?’

Of course, since Seojun had not been to the guild building at all since the four of them moved into the dormitory, it seemed unlikely that he would be caught right away, but you never knew how it would work out.

***

“What do you plan to do, Master Seojun?”

The secretary who was having tea time with Kang Seok-ho brought up a story about Seo-jun.

“Huh? Seojun?”

“Yes, no matter how I look at it, it looks like you are preparing for a proper fight with the Vice President.”

Kang Seok-ho, who was receiving various stories from his secretary, also knew well that Seo-jun was preparing for an all-out war with his father.

“Well, what do you think? Wouldn’t it be fun?”

Chairman Kang Seok-ho had a special affection for his family, but he had no intention of getting significantly involved in this kind of power struggle.

Moreover, Kang Seok-ho also knew very well that Seo-jun’s father, Kang San-ho, was quite lacking in either ability or personality to assume the position of chairman.

However, the other children did not have much interest in the Sogang Group itself and were busy running their own businesses.

So Kang Seok-ho was even more worried about what to do.

If Seojun had not stepped forward this time, I would even consider handing over the chairmanship to someone other than my family.

“I admit that Master Seojun has outstanding abilities.”

Even in the eyes of a secretary, Seojun was so talented that it was difficult to find someone with such outstanding abilities.

“But doesn’t Vice Chairman Kang San-ho have experience?”

The most worrying thing was that Seojun had just entered society.

No matter how talented Kang San-ho was, he was someone who could easily climb up to the position of vice president of Sogang Group.

The fact that he was able to do that despite his lack of ability was partly due to having the chairman as his father, but it also meant that the experience itself could not be ignored.

“Well, if you look at Seojun’s actions, wouldn’t it be okay to just wait and see?”

Kang Seok-ho also knew well how scary the difference in experience was.

However, Seojun’s talent was too overwhelming to tailor something based solely on differences in experience.

For someone who has just started working and is new to the workforce, everything that Seojun is showing right now is better than that of more seasoned and experienced people.

“Honestly, isn’t it a bit difficult for you to see Seojun as an ordinary beginner in society?”

Even before I made up my mind to do it right, I succeeded in numerous projects on my own and took the position of head of the division.

After I decided to do it right, I already had two successful large-scale projects in just one month.

This project was not as large-scale as the previous ones, but it was a project that the company was watching with great importance.

This too has already been on the path to success for a long time.

“I think that no matter how hard Sanho tries, once Seojun decides to do so, the outcome is obvious.”

“… Master Seojun is definitely increasing his weight class…”

Seojun had such control over the company that it was impossible to worry.

At first, people followed Seojun simply because he was the chairman’s favorite grandson, but once they worked together, they came to truly respect Seojun.

Moreover, considering that some are even saying that he is a more suitable person for the position of chairman than Chairman Kang Seok-ho.

“We created that much public opinion in just one month and actually grew the company even further. In just one month!”

Chairman Kang Seok-ho looked as excited as a child.

“If this isn’t a thing, what on earth is it, huh? This guy can only be described as truly gifted.”

Kang Seok-ho looked proud as he remembered his birthday when he first came to create a guild.

If I had refused the offer because I didn’t trust my grandson at the time, it was clear that the current situation would not have ended up happening.

Of course, even if he had refused, it was clear that Seojun would have established and grown the guild on his own.

“Secretary Kim.”

“Yes, Chairman.”

“Please do a detailed investigation into the guild that Seojun created. Everything secretly, including things related to the belonging hunters.”

“Yes, I understand.”

The secretary nodded and went straight to gathering information about the guild.

Unlike Kang San-ho’s sloppy information gathering, Kang Seok-ho’s actions are very secretive and secretive.

It was so secret that even Seojun didn’t notice.
