I sit in the backseat of a luxury sedan worth well over hundreds of millions of won and stare blankly out the window.

Then I turned my head and glanced sideways at the middle-aged man sitting in the driver’s seat.

I wondered why he looked familiar… , it was really someone I knew.

When was the last time you saw it?

“one… “It’s been about 5 years.”

The name of the neat middle-aged gentleman is Hwang In-guk.

What I do… , There is no specific rank, but I think assistant is appropriate.

Although his face looks like he is about 50 years old, he is actually over 70 years old.

The secret to youth is not being naturally young, but being a hunter.

When I was a rising star, I was a famous A-level hunter.

What was this nickname? .

“Was he a gentleman stained with blood?”

The concept of a British gentleman who always wears a suit and a monocle, and his fists are always stained with the blood of monsters, is probably why he got the nickname.

I think he became somewhat famous overseas as ‘Bloody Gentleman’.

The old man seen through the rear-view mirror is smiling with a benevolent expression.

“haha… “I had no idea that among young people, there would be someone who remembered my tinnitus.”

Looks like my self-talk got into there.

Well, there’s no way an A-level hunter would miss the sound coming from inside this narrow car.

“He was a person who dominated an era, so of course we remember him.”

Actually, I don’t know.

I just remember it because we already know each other.

The conversation did not last long and ended there.

He gave such a long answer because his nickname, which had been forgotten as time went by, came up. He is the type of person who gives only the necessary answers to most questions and then closes his mouth.

The place where the car stopped in Gangnam was filled with heavy silence.

More precisely, it was in front of a building that was unusually tall among the tall buildings that large guilds use as guild houses.

A unique building whose entire exterior wall is made of glass.

This is the magic tower.

A magic professional organization established with the support of the World Hunter Association and the government.

What do you do?

From nurturing wizards, developing new magic and improving existing magic, researching how to make magic artifacts, etc.

First of all, it can be said that all matters related to magic pass through here.

“Now, let’s go in.”

The old man left my car with the employee waiting at the entrance and led me inside.

Get on the elevator located in the center of the building and head upstairs.

Ding!

[This is the 66th floor.]

66th floor.

The top of the magic tower.

Unlike floors that are divided into several areas according to people and purposes, this floor is used as one space as a whole.

The reason is that this is a space that is only allowed to be used by one person.

The manager, the magic tower lord, who holds in his hands a huge magic tower consisting of 66 floors.

As we entered, what we saw was a study decorated just for one person.

A bookshelf made entirely of dark brown wood and countless books and scrolls placed there.

Strange plants decorating the area around the glass.

A huge desk in the middle of them and numerous piles of documents piled on top of it.

And the red-haired woman quickly turns the pages, reviewing them one by one.

Everyone in Korea knows her.

And I know her better than anyone else.

… No, I thought I knew it well.

One of only five S-class hunters in Korea.

Her nickname is ‘Scarlet Witch’.

The wannabe of all women of this era, boasting attractive bright red hair that seems to have been carefully dyed with clear drops of blood, and an explosive body that stimulates the lust just by looking at it.

And a sex symbol for men that does not change over time.

From what I remember, I am still receiving a flood of offers for photo shoots and advertisements.

Because he is busy and doesn’t want to be naked in front of others, he is turning down all offers of huge amounts of money.

“As you said, I brought Mr. Kim Do-jin with me, lady.”

“great job. “It’s okay to leave work now.”

“Yes, then.”

After receiving instructions to leave work, the old man turns his back and passes me by.

Eventually, she disappeared along with the elevator, leaving only me and her here.

She finally lifted her eyes from the pile of papers and looked at me.

“nice to meet you.”

Dry tone and cold eyes.

The expression on his face is so calm that I wonder if this is the attitude he has when calling and greeting people from far away, but I can see it.

A ray of curiosity flows from her dry eyes.

How do you know?

“I’m Han Joo-hee, the lord of the Magic Tower.”

“… … .”

Because she is my ex-wife.

No matter how estranged they may be, they know how to read at least to that extent.

Until I met old man Hwang In-guk and drove here.

I was constantly worried.

When I first meet her in this body, what should I say and what kind of expression should I show?

I had a perfectly planned plan until I entered the building, no, until I faced her.

The moment I saw her, black ink filled my mind.

All kinds of emotions are swirling.

I have feelings of resentment, and also feelings of joy like an asshole.

But even if I combined all these feelings, I couldn’t overcome the feeling of wonder I was feeling right now.

I want to ask.

Why did it happen like that?

Why did they treat people so coldly and not even pay attention to them?

And I want to argue.

Do you know how hard it was for me and what I was thinking?

However, because that is not possible.

“… hello. “This is Kim Do-jin.”

He smiled and bowed his head towards her.

“Let’s sit down and talk first.”

The two of us sat on the wide sofa next to the window and faced each other.

“I’m sorry for calling you suddenly. I wanted to visit in person, but… “It might get a little noisy.”

“I understand.”

Because she was the second most famous person after me in the past.

“I’ll ask you straight. The reason I asked to see you here… , I guess you have some idea, right?”

There must be only one reason for her to invite a stranger, a wizard, here and treat her alone.

Recruitment to the Magic Tower.

The reason may be to bring in the talented wizards who are wandering around outside.

“I guess it’s probably a scouting offer.”

“yes that’s right. We have had Kim Do-jin on our recruitment list for a long time. “Then the video that was uploaded this time served as an opportunity to make up my mind.”

“ah… .”

That damn video is so upsetting in so many ways.

“That magic back then… , I guess it’s an arrangement of the ice shield?”

Her eyes began to shine for the first time.

She has been a woman who has been bad at using magic since ancient times, but that seems to have not changed even now.

I answered willingly.

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Honestly, I was impressed. “I was surprised that there was a young student with the talent and creativity to develop basic magic in that way.”

“haha.”

Heated conversation.

What I have longed for as a husband is coming true with this body.

I even think like that.

If I were a wizard like her, wouldn’t I have been able to at least continue the conversation?

“I was convinced when I saw that. “Student Kim Do-jin is a talent that is absolutely necessary for our magic tower.”

She looks at me with deeper eyes.

“Come to the magic tower, student Dojin Kim. Double the amount offered so far… “No, I’ll give you three times as much.”

“… Three times?”

The average down payment for new hunters who join a large guild is approximately 500 million won.

Among them, this year’s best prospects can be multiplied by two to up to four times.

If you calculate it, it’s approximately 1 billion to 2 billion.

Of all the scouting offers I received this time, the highest amount was exactly 2 billion won.

But here, three times that is 6 billion.

The amount is too much to ask an aspiring hunter who is only in his first year of college.

If the person in front of me wasn’t her, I wouldn’t have anything to say even if I asked her if she was senile.

“It is worth it for Kim Do-jin. If you enter the Magic Tower, the talent that started with billions… “It will blossom into hundreds and hundreds of billions.”

It’s a sweet, fascinating story.

Her voice has a natural talent for moving people, especially men.

uh… , Is it because of the face and body, not the voice?

“Besides that, I’ll give you anything you want. Private laboratory, research funds and supplies, etc… “Everything I can do for you.”

You get the feeling that they are really trying their best.

The more I do this, the colder my heart becomes.

It breaks my heart to see her throwing away her husband, whom she lived with for decades, and getting so excited just because she showed off an interesting magic trick.

“This seems like an attractive enough offer… , How about this?”

“surely… “It’s tempting.”

what… , I can’t help but be intrigued.

6 billion is not the name of anyone’s dog, and it would be even more strange if a wizard who is recognized not only in Korea but also around the world, is rushing towards you begging like this and you are not tempted.

But what can I do?

“But I don’t have any desire to belong anywhere until I graduate from college.”

Still, I don’t want to go in.

The first cracks appeared on her face.

The beautiful frown between his triumphant eyes narrowed.

Is it embarrassment or anger?

“… Usually, people who say things like that are confident. “When I graduate from college, I am confident that my salary will be higher than it is now.”

I smiled and nodded.

“Yes, there is.”

The feeling that money can give me is attractiveness, but that is the limit.

Because I’ve already had a lot, and I know roughly how to have more.

6 billion is tempting, but… , because it’s not money I can’t afford.

And just like she said, I am confident.

By the time I graduate from college, I will be able to earn not just 6 billion, but 60 billion, no, more than that.

“And what I need is not money.”

“It’s not money… , Do you need something else?”

“yes.”

Actually, I wanted to ruin the conversation.

I reacted indifferently to anything they said and just thought that I had to end this moment quickly… .

As we sat side by side, making eye contact, and talking, I suddenly felt like it was a waste.

She fell for Tzu Siu and another man.

She may not be very good on the inside, but her shell is worth it.

In fact, I’ve had sex with her my entire life and I’ve never once felt like I’m sick of it.

So I changed my mind a little.

I didn’t want to send my belongings to another man, and I wanted revenge.

In my head, the scale tilts to both sides mercilessly and returns again and again.

A sharp conflict arises over whether or not he can take her away with this body.

“so… , Besides that money, what do you want?”

At the same time, take one step further.

If you succeeded in taking her away.

How far can I drop her?

also.

By the time I had fallen deep enough, I revealed that I was your husband, Son Si-woo.

What kind of expression will she make at that time?

I smiled brightly and answered her as she stared at my lips.

“that… “I wish the Mage Tower Lord would find out for himself.”

A shiver runs down my spine.
