9. The Price of Touching Her Chest!
The breast I grasped.
Perhaps because she was a Leopard Woman, along with luxurious fur came a soft texture.
So this is what a beastkin’s chest feels like.
A fascinating experience.
But that wasn’t where she had guided me.
Beyond that, between her collarbone and chest.
A strange wound I could feel with my fingertips.
It wasn’t an old wound.
A few days at most?
The bumpy texture felt like touching some kind of beetle.
“How is it? Do you understand now?”
The leopard smiled seductively.
When I showed a surprised expression, she slyly let go of my hand.
“My name is Milen. How about it? Should we get a Private Room right away?”
She wasn’t making a sexual request.
She was hoping for something else.
“Ahem, excuse me. I think there’s been a misunderstanding.”
I withdrew my hand from her chest and tapped the Business Card on the table.
“Please read it carefully again.”
“Marriage Information Agency Meracle. Representative Kim Ju-seon.”
“Yes, I came to ask if you’d be interested in signing up.”
“Ha, I already know all about it, okay? You don’t need to deceive me with something like this.”
We’re not communicating.
Is it because she’s closer to a beast than human?
In the end, I showed her the business registration on a portal site map through my Mobile Phone.
Additionally, even my neatly taken photo there.
After showing her that, a flustered Milen began to stutter.
“Huh, huh?”
“You saw, right? I’m just a Marriage Information Agency boss who’s good at his job. If you ever want to get married, come to Merakl.”
I stood up from my seat with a capitalist smile.
Then I immediately turned around and headed toward the dancing Main Floor.
The farther I got from Milen, the faster my steps became.
‘Shit! I got caught up in something weird!’
I had a hard time pretending not to know and getting past it.
That was an injection mark!
And it wasn’t even a normal injection.
If it left such a grotesque wound, there’s a high possibility of some really dirty business.
‘What the hell is this crazy Club doing?’
For now, I managed to get past it naturally.
But I can’t stay here any longer.
I’ll get involved in something strange.
Finding Kim Yang and Renea wasn’t difficult.
The crowd had gathered in their direction. Kim Yang was skillfully dancing as he said he was used to it, and Renea was flailing around next to him with both hands raised like she was doing a mask dance.
She seemed to be trying her best in her own way, but her expression was tearful.
Kim Yang spotted me first.
“Huh? Boss, are you going to dance too? Want to dance together?”
“Save me! Save me! I want to run away! What is this place?! It’s scary!”
Renea immediately clung to me.
She wrapped her arms and legs around my side and hugged me tightly.
This actually worked out well.
“Kim Yang, let’s go. This place is strange.”
“Huh? What’s strange? I like it here.”
“Let’s go. I’ll explain when we get out.”
“…Okay.”
Kim Yang immediately nodded with a serious expression and followed behind.
As we passed through the main floor and headed outside through the corridor.
“There! That’s the person!”
Milen’s voice pierced into my back.
When I turned around, Milen along with large men came rushing toward us in a crowd.
They were clearly people we shouldn’t get involved with.
“Shit! Run!”
“Huh?”
“What?! What’s going on?”
“There’s no time to explain, so just run!”
Renea, who finally got down from me, asked in surprise.
“Are we being attacked? I heard that in Seoul, you close your eyes and wake up on a hotel bed. Could it be?!”
“Grandmother, not again!”
Just around the corner of the corridor was the entrance.
There would be a guard standing there, but they probably couldn’t cause a commotion because of the people waiting in line.
The moment we almost reached the end of the corridor.
Before we could even turn the corner, a man appeared first.
Well-styled blonde hair.
Famous brands from head to toe, as if he were a walking luxury store.
Extravagance that wouldn’t wear anything under five million won.
A pistol aimed in our direction.
The man with a relaxed smile gestured toward us-.
“Kneel.”
My body instantly collapsed forward under the pressure crushing my entire body.
“Ugh?!”
“Kyaah!”
Gravity Manipulation.
He was an Awakened.
“Huh?”
But that wasn’t what surprised me.
The ability and voice were excessively familiar.
The problem was that he recognized me too.
“Don’t tell me you’re Kim Ju-seon?”
Looking down at me kneeling under the gravity, he called out to me.
* * *
I could see why Kim Yang said the private room was expensive.
Not only was the interior luxurious, but there was a karaoke machine, fruit snacks, and expensive western liquor too.
The basic setup had to be expensive.
Pop!
The blonde luxury item, Geum Tae-min, casually opened that western liquor and poured it into a glass.
Look at him drinking alone.
His petty nature hadn’t disappeared even after making money.
He made us sit in a row and leisurely drank his western liquor.
Three thugs were already strictly blocking the entrance to the private room.
“Heh, Ju-seon. This is quite a strange connection, isn’t it? Since we haven’t seen each other since training camp, it’s been almost 5 years?”
“Isn’t it a shitty connection?”
“This bastard’s tongue still isn’t dead?”
Crack!
Gravity Manipulation pressing down on me again.
By the way, it’s illegal for an Awakened to use abilities on civilians.
“What? You still think you’re above me? Huh? Ju-seon.”
Geum Tae-min sneered.
Renea, sitting beside me, fidgeted and looked at me.
He went to the club and left his bow behind, so now he can’t do anything.
This is what happens when you only know how to do one thing.
Can’t be helped.
“Geum Tae-min, why aren’t you doing hunter work? Did you quit because you weren’t good enough?”
“Bullshit. These days, hunters who make money catching magical beasts are idiots. Why do such dangerous work? Just working as a guard here brings in tons of money.”
“Looks like you’re doing dirty work that suits you perfectly?”
“And you’re doing pathetic work that suits you perfectly.”
No matter what I said, Geum Tae-min responded leisurely. He must be confident that he has the upper hand.
“Ju-seon, you’ve always been one to mess with things you shouldn’t mess with, haven’t you?”
“….”
“Do you know what kind of place this club is? It’s a place managed by Baekdu Pharmaceuticals.”
Baekdu Pharmaceuticals?
Isn’t that a major corporation?
“Baekdu?”
“It’s a place to obtain raw materials for medicine for special customers.”
Kim Yang also looked flustered, as if she didn’t know. But from what I could tell, it seemed unrelated to Kim Yang.
“Why? Curious? Want your hyung to tell you? Come to think of it, I’m two years older than you, aren’t I?”
“You always act like obvious shit is something amazing.”
“…What?”
Frowning, cracks appeared on Geum Tae-min’s face for the first time.
But if it was obvious, then it was obvious.
Kim Yang is a beastkin and a club regular.
But she didn’t know anything about this stuff.
That means beastkin aren’t the target.
“You’re targeting wildlings to buy their blood, fur, or body parts with money, right?”
“Ha, you think we’re doing organ trafficking or something-”
“You would be, you bastard.”
“….”
Not beastkin.
But why specifically wildlings?
This is also easy.
“5th Floor, according to Old Murim origins, beastkin are beings born when gods called ‘Divine Beasts’ shared affection with humans.”
“….”
“Among them, wild people are especially those born with a strong bloodline of Divine Beasts.”
“….”
“Then it’s obvious. They would use wild people to obtain the transcendent physical abilities of Divine Beasts for medicine, stimulants, drugs. They’d use them for all sorts of things, wouldn’t they?”
“This bastard-.”
“You told me it was a pharmaceutical company.”
When I smiled, Geum Tae-min couldn’t contain his anger and shot up.
The thug standing guard, as well as Kim Yang and Renea, looked over with surprised expressions.
“B-Boss is smart.”
“But did you really have to say that? He seems even angrier now.”
Just as Renea said.
Geum Tae-min, thoroughly enraged, glared this way then tried to act calm as he caught his breath.
“That was always your problem, Ju-seon.”
His lips curved up coldly.
“Because you always act like you’re good at everything, that’s why you’re living like this now.”
Geum Tae-min’s gaze turned to Kim Yang and Renea. He asked them with forced kindness.
“Do you know why Hunter Training Institute Class 111 is called the Golden Generation, ladies?”
“Class 111?”
“I-I’ll try to guess!”
Though Renea shouted that she’d somehow survive, Geum Tae-min wasn’t looking for an answer.
“Two whole members of the Seven Extremes came from it. One is Yaksha Ryu Seo-ram.”
And the other one is-.
“Current Hunter Association Vice President, Yu Ye-na.”
A heavy name.
The real power behind the Hunter Association’s leadership.
Mine and Geum Tae-min’s classmate.
“But there’s something everyone doesn’t know. The top student of Class 111 wasn’t Ryu Seo-ram or Yu Ye-na.”
Geum Tae-min’s gaze, turning his head like winding a clockwork, pierces into me.
“That bastard. The top student of Class 111 was always Kim Ju-seon. That bastard, right there.”
“…The Boss?”
“What?!”
The two people looking with surprised eyes.
I smiled and added.
“Geum Tae-min was almost dead last.”
“Shut up!”
The gravity becomes a bit stronger.
The guy who struggled to catch his breath wanted to put me down somehow, grinning awkwardly.
“You haven’t learned anything, have you? Because a worthless bastard like you stood out so much, you got marked by Yu Ye-na. The top student bastard couldn’t even get his Hunter License issued?”
“Isn’t that better than using your Hunter License to kiss other people’s asses?”
“Ha.”
The pressure is released.
My hands and feet become free.
“You still think we’re in the training camp from 5 years ago? You still think you’re the top student?”
Geum Tae-min stands in front of the table like stepping onto a stage and gestures.
“Come out, Kim Ju-seon. Now I’ll look down on you. And you’re going to die here.”
Geum Tae-min, properly provoked, requests a 1-on-1.
“Going to shoot?”
When I mocked him, he gritted his teeth and threw a dagger onto the table.
Thunk!
“Knife Fighting. How about it? Isn’t this something you might actually beat me at? If you win, I’ll let all three of you go.”
Tsk.
Clicking my tongue, I draw my knife and step forward.
“You’re talking like you’ve ever won before.”
