“…Da-eun.”

Park Min-gyu started to get nervous when he saw Lee Ho-yeon and Nam Da-eun standing side by side.

When I got to this point, I was able to understand the whole situation.

Nam Da-eun told Ho-yeon Lee the whole situation and asked for help.

‘What on earth did they do… ?’

Park Min-gyu has been watching Nam Da-eun for a long time.

Because I completely understood her personality and way of speaking, I was able to predict all of her actions.

Nam Da-eun was never the type to ask others for help.

I’m the type of person who would rather suffer alone, so what on earth did they use?

‘That doesn’t matter.’

Park Min-gyu erased his random thoughts.

This is not the time to think about the cause.

What matters now is what the other person is asking for.

We have to somehow meet their demands and get out of this situation.

At that time, Lee Ho-yeon, who was looking at Park Min-gyu, opened her mouth.

“Mr. Park Min-gyu. I saw an interview you did recently, and you were very good at apologizing. I’m glad you have a lot to apologize for in the future.”

“…what do you want?”

Now, we have finally managed to silence the media that was making a fuss about drug distribution.

There is still a lot of noise in some quarters, but if it explodes further, it will be difficult to cover it.

“Well, there are a lot of things I want. I don’t know. Money?”

“How much do you want? The guild is still small, so it may not be much….”

“entire.”

“… Yes?”

Hoyeon Lee smiled to herself.

As expected, there was definitely a bit of agitation after a drug incident broke out.

It is not easy to let go of fame once gained.

“Give me all the money you saved by doing all the dirty things.”

Park Min-gyu could not hide his embarrassment when he saw Lee Ho-yeon speaking calmly.

“Well, that… what.”

“Mr. Park Min-gyu, you can make money again anyway. But what will happen if this evidence spreads? The opportunity to make money will disappear? I promise. All I ask for is money.”

“….”

Park Min-gyu was worried.

But no matter how much I thought about it, there was no answer other than listening to what he said.

I thought about using force, but even if I beat those two, I wasn’t sure that the evidence wouldn’t spread.

“Do you still not understand the situation?”

Hoyeon Lee waved the documents in her hands.

“… I don’t have it right now. It’s stored in the guild building. Once I give it time….”

“We’ll take care of that, so tell us where you hid it in the guild building.”

“Well, there is a safe in the guild leader’s room.”

“What is the password?”

“….”

“What’s your password?”

“It’s 4856… but it’s set so that no one but me can open it.”

Park Min-gyu breathed a sigh of relief as he told the safe’s password.

Because the personal safe was an expensive magic artifact, it would not be opened unless Park Min-gyu’s biometric information was confirmed.

Even if someone sneaks into the guild leader’s room, the door won’t open… .

“Yes. Did you hear? It says 4856. Is it open?”

– yes. I opened it. “I think I have about 5 billion in artifacts and cash.”

Of course, it was a tactic that would not work on a top-notch informant from the world’s best intelligence guild.

“5 billion….”

Park Min-gyu broke into a cold sweat as he heard the sound of the phone call.

This is because the amount of 5 billion was too accurate to be considered a bluff.

“No way.”

“Mingyu. Is this the end?”

“Okay, that’s the end. 5 billion. It’s the money I’ve saved all my life….”

Park Min-gyu knelt down, trembling.

As if everything about him had been denied, he let out a sigh as the breath was taken from his lungs.

However, Ho-yeon Lee burst out laughing when she saw Park Min-gyu like that.

“Mingyu. You think I’m an idiot, right?”

“W-what….”

“There is no way the money raised is only 5 billion won.”

Lee Ho-yeon shook her head and thought.

He seems like an ugly, obvious old man.

I’m not a fool, how could I do something like this without knowing the capital power of the Buyers Guild?

Then, he tapped the document with his finger and urged his next words.

“Where’s the rest of the money?”

*

“Ahhh….”

‘It’s sweet.’

In the end, Park Min-gyu spent all the money he had left.

He kept insisting that it wasn’t there until the end, so I called a reporter I knew, and only then did he tell me the truth.

“That’s it now. 30 billion. A whopping 30 billion.”

30 billion.

It’s definitely a lot of money.

Not bad for additional income.

“Okay. My request ends here.”

“Well, then, now hand over the evidence. Let’s pretend we didn’t meet each other today….”

“Now then, have a conversation with the real client.”

“… what?”

I quietly fell behind Nam Da-eun.

Because ‘my request’ is over.

Nam Da-eun, who had been waiting behind, stepped forward and stood face to face with Park Min-gyu.

“…Uncle Mingyu.”

“Everything, Da-eun.”

Nam Da-eun was surprisingly calm.

Even though the target of revenge was right in front of me and I had the power to carry out revenge, I tried to talk as if I had spoken.

“I’ve been thinking about this ever since I saved Dahee. Why did he do that to me and Dahee? The Mingyu I knew wasn’t like that.”

Snug-

Nam Da-eun took out the sword she had brought with her.

“But no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t come up with an answer. Because we didn’t do anything wrong.”

Nam Da-eun’s face was reflected in the sharp sword.

Nam Da-eun looked at the sword face and spoke calmly and calmly.

“Uncle Mingyu… Now tell me. Why did you do that?”

“Da-eun. Now, just a moment. Calm down. I can explain everything.”

“Me and Dahee… we lived trusting only you. But why did you suddenly do this…? Did you really come after me from the beginning?”

I think I understand now.

Nam Da-eun is not angry.

I’m really having doubts.

It is impossible to understand the person named Park Min-gyu, who changed overnight.

It seems like the memory of Park Min-gyu, who treated me warmly, is deeply embedded in me.

‘He must have been that kind of guy originally.’

In fact, trash like that is inherently dirty.

And the more trash he gets, the better he acts.

If the other person was a pure person like Nam Da-eun, it would have been easy to deceive.

dump-

Park Min-gyu knelt in that state.

I lowered my head and tears fell on the floor.

“Daeun….”

“mister?”

“I’m sorry. I’m so… sorry.”

I yawned quietly as I watched Park Min-gyu apologize with tears in his eyes.

‘It’s obvious, obvious.’

I could see it all with my eyes.

Park Min-gyu, who was kneeling and lowering his upper body to cover himself, was searching through his arms.

At least there must have been a sword hidden inside.

I watched to see how Nam Da-eun would react.

“Mister. Do you really want to apologize to us?”

“I’m really sorry. I regret all the mistakes I made in the past. That’s why I blew the whistle on Shinyoung Guild. To start over again… I don’t want to do dirty work anymore…”

I looked at Park Min-gyu with a bored expression.

That warm impression combined with the pitiful tears definitely has an effect, but I know my nature.

If he was a really good person, he wouldn’t have taken him to the room to recruit a cadet.

“Then give it all up.”

“… what?”

“Give up everything you earned by doing dirty work. After paying for all your sins, start from the beginning.”

“Da-eun….”

“If that’s the case, I can forgive you too. If you really want to apologize to us, let go of your reputation first.”

Nam Da-eun tapped her smart watch.

All I had to do was press the send button according to the settings I had set in advance, so there was nothing difficult.

“Uncle Mingyu… do you see this?”

“W-What is this… huh?”

The screen that Nam Da-eun showed was simple.

It was breaking news.

– hello. This is reporter Hayoung. There is news that Park Min-gyu, the leader of the Buyers Guild, which is currently in trouble for distributing drugs, regularly visits illegal prostitution establishments… .

As if he was waiting, the reporter I hired started reporting news.

“Oh, no. No…!”

Park Min-gyu, who had been apologizing just now, suddenly raised his head.

And quickly turned his head.

In Korean society, going to a room may be tolerated if you insist that it is entertainment.

It was absurd, but that was reality.

As high-ranking hunters earned a lot of money, they seemed to be quiet about that.

Of course, the image you have built will fall into ruin, but it is not to the point where you cannot continue your activities.

If you continue your activities even when you are criticized, you can recover.

But not anymore.

“That’s it, Da-eun. I’m truly reflecting. There are other guild members under me besides me. They each have families and people to support. It can’t go any further than this….”

“….”

Nam Da-eun seemed to be worried for a moment after hearing Park Min-gyu’s words.

Since I decided to leave everything to Nam Da-eun this time, I entrusted the authority to reveal information to Nam Da-eun.

‘You shouldn’t fall for something like that.’

He says he’s seeking revenge, but he hasn’t taken off his innocence yet.

I have no choice but to intervene.

“Nam Da-eun.”

“… huh.”

My confidence disappeared in the answering voice.

You must be worried.

Could it be that he is making those people unemployed? Concerns about it.

Well, actually, if you’re going to worry about that, it’s already too late… Anyway, it seems like you’re worried, so I guess I’ll have to solve it.

“Be selfish.”

“… Selfish?”

“Don’t think about others. Think only about your feelings. It’s time to do that.”

In fact, there are many ways to persuade.

If you are not involved in criminal activity, you will be investigated and released without charge.

After that, you may have problems finding a job… It won’t be a big problem.

It’s partly my fault for not being able to recognize the guild, so there’s nothing I can do about it.

And in fact, by that logic, there is no one in the world who should be punished.

Because everyone has their own circumstances.

But I wasn’t so convinced.

I hoped that Nam Da-eun would now move according to her feelings.

Even though they are at an age where they have a bright future ahead of them, they don’t really know their own feelings because of that trash.

Now I wish Nam Da-eun would act selfishly.

“….”

“Da-eun, please….”

“I don’t know either.”

Nam Da-eun was confused, but then she clenched her fists as she looked at Park Min-gyu in front of her.

“Please, stop now….”

“I don’t understand what to do with this frustration. But… I trust Hoyeon. I’ll do whatever I want this time.”

Nam Da-eun continued to operate the smartwatch.

All kinds of criminal activities such as buyer guild’s double ledger, tax evasion, illegal loan sharking, counterfeit artifacts, etc. were posted as breaking news and dominated real-time search terms.

Park Min-gyu’s face became more and more distorted as he watched this.

“Uncle Mingyu. Do you still have the heart to apologize to me?”

“….”

“If you apologize sincerely and pay for all your sins… I will help you. So that you can come back from the beginning.”

“….”

Nam Da-eun’s eyes seemed truly sincere.

Maybe he can’t let go of the feelings he had when he raised himself and his younger brother through difficult times.

“Tsk.”

Even if you’re nice, you’re too nice.

But that won’t happen.

Nam Da-eun seemed to have no idea of the extent of what she had done, but Buyers Guild and Park Min-gyu were already beyond recovery.

Even if Park Min-gyu returns home safely, he is destined to rot in prison for the rest of his life.

Fortunately, there will never be a day when Park Min-gyu receives Nam Da-eun’s favor.

“this person….”

“Uncle Mingyu…?”

“This whore… You’ve been treating me like crap all this time! How dare you be a prostitute who clings to a young man…!”

“…whore?”

Nam Da-eun turned her head and looked at me.

I don’t know why he was looking at me, but his eyes contained many complex emotions.

“I have been your father since I picked you up from the orphanage. But you betray me by selling yourself to a young man? How dare you?!”

In response to Park Min-gyu’s verbal abuse, Nam Da-eun lowered her head and closed her eyes.

He must have finally realized Park Min-gyu’s true nature.

After a while, Nam Da-eun opened her eyes and lifted her sword with a helpless smile.

“… Yes. I’d rather be my own prostitute. I’m sick of Mingyu’s face.”

“This bitch points a sword at my father?!”

Park Min-gyu increased his magic power.

The momentum I could clearly feel was not weak.

If you want to raise money by doing dirty work, you have to support your own power.

However, Nam Da-eun is outside the standard.

In the first place, Nam Da-eun, the main character of the game, and Park Min-gyu, an extra, could not be compared.

Nam Da-eun slightly moved her arm while holding the sword.

Suddenly-

At the same time, both of Park Min-gyu’s arms flew off.

“Ugh! Ugh! What is this!”

Park Min-gyu, embarrassed by what happened so quickly, shook his head back and forth.

“Thank you, Uncle Mingyu.”

“Da-eun. Just a moment. Da-eun…! Just give me one chance. Just once…!”

“For always remaining a villain. For allowing me to cut off my emotions.”

Pushyook-

Just one horizontal cut.

A sword strike that is simple, yet profound, clean, yet full of wisdom.

Park Min-gyu’s head fell from his neck as he was begging for his life in an ugly manner.

Dark red blood splattered on Nam Da-eun’s clothes and dripped down to my feet nearby.

I didn’t take my eyes off that scene until the end.

I watched Nam Da-eun’s revenge until the end.

“…dead.”

Nam Da-eun muttered as she looked at Park Min-gyu’s head that had fallen on the floor.

“Yes. It’s over. Da-eun.”

“… It was this easy.”

“….”

“Why couldn’t I do it until now? Why?”

“ha….”

I slowly approached Nam Da-eun.

Nam Da-eun, who had completed her revenge, was trembling.

An emotion that is neither happy nor sad.

It must be the first time you feel it.

Having never experienced revenge, I couldn’t understand that feeling.

All he did was hug Nam Da-eun.
