“Let’s go home quickly. I’m worried about the kids.”

Park Ji-hoon, worried about Kar and Brianna who would remain at home, hurried his steps.

I’ve already sent just the two of them to a studio, and I know they’re not young or barbaric enough to cause trouble.

Still, I couldn’t help but be worried.

It’s like the feeling of a parent who leaves their children at home.

‘Well, I’m neither a child nor a parent.’

Anyway, I’m done with my business outside anyway.

It was late to look for an interior remodeling company, so I decided to do it tomorrow.

The things you want to buy when moving in can be purchased when the interior design is finished and have them delivered to your home.

You can do that slowly.

“Oh, let’s go home and eat something…”

At that time, Park Ji-hoon went home and was about to discuss with Shin Ji-yeon about the dinner menu.

“Hey.”

Suddenly, someone came up and spoke to Park Ji-hoon.

“…?”

Anyone who sees him is blocking his path and talking to him.

Park Ji-hoon turned his head.

And there.

It’s only been 3 days since I haven’t seen you.

Perhaps because so much had happened in the meantime, there were two faces that I vaguely remembered.

“Who are you?”

“Huh? Uh…”

In response to Shin Ji-yeon’s question, Park Ji-hoon made an ambiguous expression, as if he didn’t understand.

Kang Si-kyung and Shin Jeong-hoon’s expressions became crumpled.

“I am Kang Si-kyung.”

Still, it may be because there is some purpose.

Surprisingly, Kang Si-kyung introduces himself calmly without getting angry.

Shin Jeong-hoon didn’t come forward for no reason and just frowned behind him.

“Ahh!”

It was only then that Park Ji-hoon and Kang Si-kyung, a C-rank hunter, registered as new hunters at the Bupyeong branch.

And then I remembered the E-rank hunter Shin Jeong-hoon.

‘That guy who liked to show off back then is also a guy with a dull expression.’

Awakening to C rank was great and good, but it was somewhat clumsy and stupid.

At the same time, he is a guy who likes to show off that he is strong.

And a dim-faced guy who always had a bad expression on his face.

That was the extent of Park Ji-hoon’s memories of Kang Si-kyung and Shin Jeong-hoon.

Why are these two together?

I was able to roughly guess it.

Shin Jeong-hoon was still dissatisfied with the fact that he was not scouted by the guild.

Attached to Kang Si-kyung.

Wouldn’t I have joined the guild as his follower?

…and Park Ji-hoon made a guess.

And just as he guessed.

Shin Jeong-hoon contacted Kang Si-kyung and begged him to join the Yongmun guild.

With a sense of superiority, Kang Si-kyung accepted him as his subordinate and asked the Yongmun guild to make him a temporary guild member.

Suffering from a sense of inferiority, he completely gave up his pride and became something of a slave to Kang Si-kyung.

‘Well, that bastard… he’s a pervert.’

In the case of Kang Si-kyung.

I also remembered that he was a pervert who gave sinister looks to his classmate, Lee Mi-na, and to his familiar, Brianna.

‘Not only was he stupid, he was a double bastard.’

Jihoon Park felt embarrassed for a moment because he looked at Brianna from a sexual perspective.

How dare you aim for what is yours?

Of course, that doesn’t mean Park Ji-hoon was stupid enough to fight a higher-ranked hunter than himself in the middle of the street.

I decided to just deal with him roughly and leave.

“Why.”

Of course, that didn’t mean they were being treated kindly.

His tone of voice was extremely blunt.

“…Phew.”

Then it seemed like Kang Si-kyung had endured quite a bit.

I took a deep sigh.

“Hey, you. I heard that he joined a guild.”

“Yes, what.”

The fact that Park Ji-hoon joined Another Guild was not a fact to be kept secret.

He nodded without much emotion.

No, on the contrary, didn’t they promote it and receive a large amount of advertising fees?

Thanks to this, we have equipment from famous workshops, luxurious combat rations, and even small things like good shampoo and conditioner to big things like cars.

Hunters from Another Guild were happy that they could use such things for free.

In addition, hunters who want to join Another Guild are mushrooming.

The employees are so busy that they don’t even have to pay attention.

‘But what is this guy? He keeps speaking informally.’

But suddenly, Park Ji-hoon had this thought.

I don’t really remember talking to Kang Si-kyung.

I don’t even remember being close friends.

When did you say that you saw it informally and that it was a funny thing?

he thought.

‘It’s annoying, so I’ll just ignore it.’

That’s what I’m thinking.

“Don’t go to that stupid guild, come join our Yongmun guild. You.”

“…Yes?”

At that moment, I heard words that made me believe my ears.

‘Is there another guildmaster behind me now?’

Although Another Guild is not a very large guild.

However, this is not a guild that will be ignored by C-rank rookie hunter Naburangi.

First of all, Gilma is a B-rank hunter higher than him.

Even before their size grew due to promotional effects, they were a medium-sized guild in their own right.

And even though there is a road horse right in front of you, you ignore it.

‘Don’t you know who Gilma is?’

Park Ji-hoon slowly turned his head and looked at Shin Ji-yeon’s complexion.

“……”

As expected, he seemed a little angry.

‘I guess so. Because the guild he worked so hard to build was neglected.’

And that too to a C-rank rookie hunter whose name I had never heard of.

However, if the existing guild master gets involved in the conversation about a guild member’s transfer, it could escalate into a conflict between guilds.

It looks like he is staying still and not stepping forward.

No, there is probably a belief that Park Ji-hoon will not transfer anyway.

And Park Ji-hoon, of course, had no intention of transferring.

‘There is no guild that would give conditions as good as Jiyeon’s.’

Even excluding down payment and benefit clauses.

The love and devotion of a top-class beauty named Shin Ji-yeon.

And there is a guild that can provide women who share the same tastes and enjoy group rice cakes themselves.

Where exactly is it?

‘No, but what is it about the Yongmun Guild that they are so disgusting?’

Although I had no intention of transferring.

Park Ji-hoon began to become curious about the place called Yongmun Guild, which made Kang Si-kyung ignore Another Guild so much.

‘There are no large guilds I know of.’

There was also the fact that Park Ji-hoon had no interest in the hunter itself.

Still, I have at least heard of the names of large guilds.

It was the same logic that even people who were not particularly interested in the business world had heard of all the top 10 large corporations.

Anyway, there is no name Yongmun among them.

The only thing with a similar name is Dragon King?

‘Is this a subcontract from the Dragon King Guild?’

That’s what I’m thinking.

“Yongmun Guild is a guild with a lot of bad rumors. Inside the gate I mentioned before… they said it was a guild that does that.”

Also, since it is a guild created by a hunter who was a gangster, it seems that they do gangster-like things behind the scenes.

Shin Ji-yeon said.

‘Well, they’re just trash.’

For some reason, this is a guild that suits Kang Si-kyung very well.

Park Ji-hoon thought.

“We can treat you much better. Gilma will also pay the penalty.”

Of course you’re coming, right? Kang Si-kyung speaks triumphantly as if saying,

Park Ji-hoon snorted and said at that sight.

“Sorry, I won’t be transferring.”

That’s how Park Ji-hoon conveys his opinion.

I tried to leave the place, holding the hand of Shin Ji-yeon, who had a slightly refreshed expression, as if it was nice.

“What? You bastard?”

Hot!

at that time.

Kang Si-kyung was angry and grabbed Park Ji-hoon’s wrist so hard that the veins on his forehead seemed to pop out.

His expression became frowning.

He seemed very angry.

“…What are you doing?”

Park Ji-hoon glared at me as if telling me to let go of this.

Kang Si-kyung seemed to have no intention of letting go of his grip.

“Fuck, do I look like a piece of shit because I speak nice things?”

In the end, Kang Si-kyung’s anger that he had been suppressing exploded.

“F-rank bastard, people around you praise you for having some special abilities. Do you really know what’s going on? Just fucking come. Because you will never have an opportunity like this again.”

“……”

Now that I think about it, people think Park Ji-hoon is F rank.

In a way, it means that one’s abilities are not recognized.

Looking at it another way, it means belittling his abilities.

‘Is it good or bad?’

It’s not good to get into a pointless dispute like this.

To be honest, the attention is focused on Park Ji-hoon right now, but there won’t be many people like Kang Si-kyung who foolishly think that he is greater and start a fight.

Perhaps the Yongmun Guild sent Kang Si-kyung because they said he was a rookie hunter classmate.

I probably didn’t know that they would fight like an idiot and try to drag him away by force.

‘No, since it’s a gangster guild, they may have sent Kang Si-kyung to do that.’

If so, to the extent that it can induce the other party to let down their guard.

Park Ji-hoon thought that it might have been better to hide his rise in rank.

Otherwise, people like Kang Si-kyung could have prepared with all their might and then attacked.

‘It’s definitely better to hide my abilities. That way, people like S-rank hunters won’t suddenly come and kidnap me.’

There are probably a lot of people who either have a negative opinion of Park Ji-hoon, or are looking to take him with them.

Like the Yongmun guild that sent Kang Si-kyung.

But what if it turns out that Park Ji-hoon is a growing hunter without properly developing his strength?

‘Either cut off the buds before they grow properly. Or they’ll send a really strong hunter to fight me.’

Still, if you think of it as F rank, wouldn’t the probability of that happen be reduced a bit?

‘Yes, when I was able to properly protect my body. It would be a good idea to update the rank then and reveal it.’

Until then, even if it is perceived as receiving a bus from Shin Ji-yeon.

It seemed good to continue entering the gate with F rank.

‘Once you do that, no one will suspect anything until at least the C-rank gate.’

From the B-rank gate, it will be difficult for Shin Ji-yeon to handle it alone, so some people may be skeptical.

By then, Park Ji-hoon will have developed enough abilities to protect his body.

Moreover, the familiars, including Shin Ji-yeon, will gradually grow.

‘For now, let’s start with what to do with this guy.’

Kang Si-kyung still didn’t seem to have any intention of letting go of his wrist.

I needed to shake off this first and take care of this guy.

Fortunately, it was near an apartment complex during the day on a weekday.

There are very few people.

A few people also glanced in this direction.

After seeing Kang Si-kyung’s appearance and size, he quickly runs away.

‘It’s rather good.’

It is better for Park Ji-hoon, who has to hide his abilities, to not have anyone watching.

‘For now, take your hands off me. ‘I have no taste for holding hands with a red pepper.’

Tiring!

The moment when Park Ji-hoon recognized Kang Si-kyung as an ‘enemy’.

A notification window appeared.
