I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 235

6th World League (6)

“Oppa…?”

Hwang Na-yeon said.

“Did you just tell me to shut up? Even if we’re not as close as family, we’re still blood relatives…. Isn’t it too much to take someone else’s side?”

Ha.

Too much?

Hwang Tae-seop was dumbfounded.

Usually when he was just headquarters staff, she wouldn’t even acknowledge him, acting like the daughter of a successful mid-sized company, but now she’s pretending to be close, which is already disgusting….

On top of that, coming to someone else’s workplace and acting crazy, what?

“Na-yeon.”

He glared at Hwang Na-yeon and lowered his voice.

“I can’t explain what you just did right now, so I’ll let it pass. If you don’t know anything, just keep your mouth shut. I never want to see nonsense coming out of that mouth again.”

“…What do you.”

“I told you to shut up. Please don’t make this worse.”

Hwang Na-yeon had no choice but to clamp her mouth shut, but she still looked wronged.

Hwang Tae-seop immediately turned his head and bowed politely toward Yu Ji-a.

“I’m truly sorry. My cousin didn’t grasp the situation and acted recklessly. I’ll take full responsibility.”

“To be honest, I’m disappointed in you, Tae-seop.”

“….”

Cold sweat beaded on his spine.

It was the first time he’d heard it.

The word ‘disappointed’ from Yu Ji-a’s mouth.

How hard had he worked with his body until now to hear her praise!

Even if he wasn’t as smart as Kim Byeong-jin, Yu Ji-a had always praised him for having the best initiative.

Boiling.

His insides were seething.

He wanted to beat up Hwang Na-yeon right now for toppling the tower he’d built with such care.

“There’s some affection between us, and it wasn’t your direct mistake, so I’ll let this slide. But I’d like you to manage your surroundings properly. One small mistake directly affects our image. Just now, I heard something strange. Yubaek Family? Don’t you know that such things tarnish Yubaek’s reputation?”

“I’m sorry!”

Hwang Tae-seop kept his head bowed and couldn’t say anything.

There were many excuses, but on his way here he’d received CCTV recordings and audio files and listened to them roughly.

What Hwang Na-yeon had done really crossed the line.

“I’ll manage things thoroughly so this never happens again.”

Yu Ji-a didn’t even remove her mask.

She just watched Hwang Tae-seop’s attitude for a moment, then nodded.

“Good. I’ll trust you. Handle the internal problems yourself, Tae-seop. We don’t want to be bothered by such trivial matters anymore.”

“Understood!”

She was right.

These were people whose time was precious, and it was extremely shameful to be here because of someone like Hwang Na-yeon.

“Let’s go.”

“Yeah.”

The golden fox and silver fox went outside.

Afterward, a strange silence settled over the reception room.

Hwang Na-yeon still looked bewildered, unable to grasp what was happening, while Hwang Tae-seop took deep breaths and glared at her silently.

“Oppa, what the hell? Who are those people that they’re disappointed in you, telling you to manage better….”

“Shut up.”

Hwang Tae-seop gestured to stop her.

Hwang Na-yeon swallowed when she met his cold gaze.

“Do you know what you just did?”

“What, I just….”

“I told you to shut up. How many times do I have to say it.”

Hwang Na-yeon just bit her lips tightly.

She had never seen Hwang Tae-seop look so scary.

“First, Yubaek Family? What’s that. When have I ever used such wording?”

“…Never.”

“Then why. What right do you have to say such things. Do you know that hundreds of employees work hard so that the Yubaek group doesn’t get a single scratch on its image? In that situation, you make a scene in front of the President?”

“…?”

Hwang Na-yeon’s head tilted slightly.

What did he just say?

President?

The person Hwang Tae-seop would call President…. Who….

As she thought about it, her pupils began to dilate.

Her lips trembled.

“President…? Don’t tell me that masked woman earlier was….”

“You still haven’t figured it out? What are you, how great are you that you dare act arrogant in front of President Yu Ji-a.”

“Yu, Yu, Yu Ji-a? That silver fox mask?”

The moments from earlier flashed through Hwang Na-yeon’s mind like a revolving lantern.

From picking fights when betting for no reason, to deliberately acting superior in front of people….

“Uh, uaaah….”

A scream naturally came from her mouth.

– I’m the cousin of Representative Hwang Tae-seop of Fortuna Yubaek. I’m a member of the Yubaek Family.

Those were words she’d said just minutes ago.

Not only had she acted arrogant in front of that legendary figure, claiming to be just Hwang Tae-seop’s cousin, but she’d also boasted about being Yubaek Family in front of the person who created Yubaek.

Hwang Na-yeon’s face turned bright red.

“Are you finally getting it? What you’ve done?”

“I, I, I didn’t know…!”

Yu Ji-a was almost a mythical figure in high society, so she never dreamed she’d be at a casino betting.

The league was starting soon too.

She thought she’d be preparing with the players before SKY’s participation…. She never thought she’d be at a place like Fortuna Yubaek….

“Whether you knew or not, you almost ruined my life just now, Hwang Na-yeon.”

“….”

“And I didn’t know you were going around tarnishing my reputation like this.”

“That, that was.”

“Uncle’s Hwang Young Construction and whatever else, you and I are strangers now. No, we were always strangers. When have we ever properly met face to face and greeted each other?”

Hwang Na-yeon’s face turned ashen.

When she should be sucking up to get in Yu Ji-a’s good graces, she’d completely antagonized her.

If this happened?

The future of Hwang Young Construction was uncertain too.

If Yu Ji-a said just one word to political and business figures, Hwang Young Construction would be buried.

Even more?

Her own social life was over.

She could act high and mighty because of her connection to Hwang Tae-seop, but now that Hwang Tae-seop had declared them ‘strangers,’ even riding on his coattails would be awkward.

“And you’re permanently banned from this place.”

“What, what did you say?”

“As long as I’m the representative here, know that you can’t set foot in Fortuna Yubaek. Got it?”

This was more humiliating than Hwang Na-yeon could imagine.

Fortuna Yubaek was a place that frequently came up in high society group chats.

Friends would continue coming here in the future, but if she couldn’t come here….

She would definitely be naturally excluded.

She’d even be too embarrassed to say why she couldn’t go!

“And how stupid do you have to be to act like that? Do you know what kind of place Fortuna Yubaek is? Those VIP guests who were watching when you were being rude earlier – they were laughing politely in front of you, but in terms of influence, many of them are people we should bow our heads to.”

Hwang Na-yeon’s face turned bright red, but she couldn’t say a word.

Frustration rose to her throat, but faced with Hwang Tae-seop’s cold attitude, she didn’t think she could say anything more.

She was confused from the start.

To think that woman who had scolded her earlier was Yu Ji-a…

Then who was the man next to her?

Could it be Baek Jin-woo?

Thud!

Hwang Na-yeon’s mouth fell open even wider.

“Now go back. And from now on, don’t contact me whether it’s personal or business.”

“B-brother, wait a moment.”

“What is it.”

“What about the 10 billion?”

“10 billion? What 10 billion.”

“I, I, I… I bet 10 billion.”

“That will be processed according to the odds, so just go.”

“No, no!”

Hwang Na-yeon said urgently.

“I want to cancel that bet!”

Though she didn’t say it, 10 billion was her entire fortune.

She naturally thought it would more than double… but if that man was really Baek Jin-woo… perhaps patriotic betting might actually be the answer.

“Cancel the bet? Are you joking right now.”

But Hwang Tae-seop’s expression was firm.

“Don’t joke around. Bets already registered in the system cannot be cancelled according to regulations. Even if you’re my family, even if there are circumstances, what can’t be done can’t be done, and you want special treatment in this situation?”

“Brother, please. Just this once. That’s my entire fortune!”

When Hwang Na-yeon desperately tried to grab his arm, Hwang Tae-seop shook his hand away.

“Don’t be unreasonable like that. And I don’t know if it’s all the money you have, and honestly I don’t need to know. The bet is already complete, and whatever the result, you have to deal with it.”

“No, this is ridiculous…”

Hwang Na-yeon protested with an indignant voice. However, Hwang Tae-seop’s attitude had already completely turned.

“If you feel wronged, get a lawyer yourself and take it to court. You should read the regulations and terms carefully first, and start with a legal review.”

His voice became even colder than before.

“There’s nothing I can do for you now. You’re the one who made such a reckless bet in the first place.”

“Brother…”

“Brother or whatever, I’m speaking as the representative of this establishment now. If you want to force a violation of regulations, go to court and argue it out. I’ll process everything according to procedure and documentation.”

Hwang Na-yeon lost her words and just moved her lips before hanging her head.

Her mind was tangled in confusion and nothing came to her.

“Now go back. There’s no point in causing more trouble here. And I’m telling you again, don’t even come near this establishment for a while. I’ve done what I could from my position.”

At those words, Hwang Na-yeon felt her last bit of pride crumbling.

But she instinctively knew that whatever excuse she made would only drag her into a bigger quagmire.

In the end, she had to turn around and leave the reception room without a word, holding back tears.

“Jin-woo, sorry. Something that could have been overlooked because of me.”

“No, not at all.”

Baek Jin-woo smiled brightly.

“You did well. I would have been uncomfortable if we had just let it slide.”

Someone dared to say something to Yu Ji-a, and they’d let it slide?

If that had happened, Baek Jin-woo would have stepped in instead.

The two moved back toward the league table area.

“Huh?”

“The fox masks!”

“I don’t see Tiger Mask? What! So the foxes won?”

“Hehehe! The fox ate the tiger!”

Several people looking at them clapped and cheered.

“What happened to that tiger?”

“Was she kicked out?”

“Wait, so the 1 trillion was real? It wasn’t just a joke?”

“That tiger had quite a personality. No matter how great she was, she was pretty arrogant.”

Yu Ji-a smiled as she looked at the people gradually approaching to get friendly.

Naturally they’d be curious, but she couldn’t reveal their identities just to satisfy their curiosity.

“Well handled. You must have been uncomfortable because of me, so let’s have a cocktail each. I’ll ring the golden bell.”

“Oh.”

“That’s refreshing indeed!”

“A trillion-won rich person is different! Hahaha!”

“Haha, seeing you now, you seem to have a refreshing personality, mind if we join your table?”

“Are you coming tomorrow morning too? Let’s watch the league together here!”

The masked people began approaching one by one to talk, but.

“Haha, we have somewhere to go now.”

Yu Ji-a politely declined.

The league was tomorrow.

They had planned to watch it with Yubaek’s family, and there were still many places to look around.

She didn’t want her long-awaited date with Baek Jin-woo to be interrupted by socializing with others.

“Geum-u. Let’s go. We need to look around Le Grand Yubaek too, and visit Rune Eclat as well.”

“Yeah.”

Like this.

The incident at Fortuna Yubaek ended as a simple happening.
