Episode 63
Episode 63
With the Bureau Chief’s permission,
the guild establishment procedures went smoothly.
A few documents.
A few signatures.
That was all.
Kang Min-a, who checked the tablet a few more times, nodded her head.
“All guild establishment requirements have been met.”
“Then…”
“Yes, congratulations.”
[Typhoon Guild] was established so easily it felt anticlimactic.
‘Is it okay for it to be this easy?’
As if reading my thoughts, Kang Min-a shrugged her shoulders.
“Usually, it doesn’t get processed this quickly.”
“Ah, I figured as much.”
“This hunter is an exception among exceptions.”
“Haha…”
I laughed awkwardly and scratched the back of my head.
The screen Kang Min-a showed me looked sparse.
Guild name.
Master’s name.
That was about it.
“From now on, you’re the master of Typhoon Guild.”
Master.
It’s an awkward title.
But it wasn’t bad.
“For the time being, I’ll help you with the management…”
“Ah, that’s okay.”
At my words, Kang Min-a’s eyes widened.
“What? It would be difficult to do it alone…”
“I have a partner.”
“A, a partner?”
Kang Min-a gasped and covered her mouth.
Is this really that surprising?
“So, so you already have someone to handle the management?!”
“Yes. Someone named Go Ju-hui, she’ll be managing the guild for the time being…”
“Go, Go Ju-hui?!”
Kang Min-a was shocked.
“That Go Ju-hui from GR Group…?!”
“Yes. How did you know?”
I heard a grinding sound.
“Don’t tell me, she was the one who suggested establishing the guild…”
“No. I was the one who proposed that.”
“Why Go Ju-hui of all people? Go Ju-hui is already with GR…”
“She has her circumstances too. We decided to cooperate since our needs aligned.”
“But, but, but, but…!!!”
“Don’t worry. I can at least take care of myself.”
Kang Min-a’s shoulders drooped.
Seeing her react like that, there must be some history between her and Go Ju-hui.
“Do you know each other?”
“…We were college classmates.”
“Ah.”
I felt like I could guess what happened, so I didn’t pry further.
“If anything seems strange, you must contact me.”
“Yes, yes. I understand.”
“You must!!!”
Leaving behind Kang Min-a who was stamping her feet,
I returned to the dormitory.
I was worried I’d have to return the dormitory too,
but fortunately the Management Bureau was considerate about that.
They said I could stay as comfortably as I wanted.
Rather than consideration,
they probably have their own purposes.
Anyway, I’m comfortable and like it here,
so I plan to stay here for the time being.
As for a house,
I can look into that gradually while searching for a guild location later.
“Uggggg.”
As soon as I returned, I collapsed on the bed and stretched my stiff body.
The fatigue these past few days has been no joke.
I’m tired even though I slept wearing the [Socks of Sound Sleep].
After all, I’ve been using my brain too much.
“I need to get some sleep…”
Without even changing clothes,
I lay down and fell asleep just like that.
* * *
A few days later.
-Bzzing.
[I found something good.]
I received Go Ju-hui’s contact and went outside the Management Bureau.
“…But why is Kang Min-a coming with me?”
“Ahem! The Bureau Chief specifically told me to help you out!”
“Is that so…?”
Usually, does the Management Bureau help with finding guild buildings too?
Probably not…
‘It’s because of Go Ju-hui.’
It seemed like there was some bad blood between them before.
I don’t mind.
If she’s going to keep a sharp eye on whether Go Ju-hui does anything suspicious, I’d actually be grateful.
“Tae-pyeong, over here.”
A black car visible as soon as we left the Management Bureau.
Go Ju-hui recognized me first and raised her hand.
“Oh my, and you are…”
Go Ju-hui tilted her head upon spotting Kang Min-a.
“You, Min-a?”
Min-a?
“…It’s Min-a, not Mina, you know. Ms. Go Ju-hui?”
“Sorry. I lived overseas for a long time.”
“I don’t think that has anything to do with it though?”
Go Ju-hui smiled leisurely.
“I understand, Ms. Mina. But why are you here….”
“I came along following the Bureau Chief’s instructions to help ensure there are no inconveniences. Would that be a problem?”
Go Ju-hui glanced at me.
I nodded to indicate it was fine.
“Alright, if Tae-pyeong is okay with it.”
Fortunately, nothing particular happened after getting in the car.
To be precise.
I could hear the two of them talking about something in the back seat, but I was sleeping so I couldn’t hear what they were discussing.
Seeing that both their expressions weren’t good, it didn’t seem like friendly conversation.
“It’s a small building, but it’s still pretty nice, right?”
Go Ju-hui asked me with a triumphant face.
“It’s good.”
Until recently, I was even considering suicide due to rental fraud,
but now my guild has a ‘building’ in downtown Seoul.
“How did you get this place….”
“There are ways for everything.”
Cutting off my words, Go Ju-hui guided us inside the building.
It wasn’t the kind of building that other major guilds use.
It was a small 5-story building that looked old but neat.
“You know, right? Old buildings are sturdier.”
“I wonder. Isn’t it too small for a guild building?”
At Go Ju-hui’s words, Kang Min-a shot back as if she’d been waiting.
“It’s fine. I wasn’t planning to grow it that big anyway.”
“I-Is that so? Ahem!”
Kang Min-a coughed awkwardly, seeming flustered by my words.
“It’s small but should be quite useful. If you grow bigger, you can move to another place then.”
I shook my head at Go Ju-hui’s words.
“No, this size is perfect for me.”
“Are you really going to run it as a one-person guild?”
“Not exactly, but….”
I was planning to ask the team members about their intentions soon.
Whether they could join our [Typhoon Guild].
Ju-min is still a minor, but I think we can work it out with the Management Bureau….
For Cha Ye-rin and Baek Ha-rim, if I match the conditions they want….
‘…Though I won’t know until I ask.’
I don’t want dozens of people like other guilds.
But I’d like to have three or four more people in the guild.
To explore the Tower together intimately.
Anyway.
This should be fine.
The basement can be renovated into a training room.
The 1st floor as a lobby.
The 2nd and 3rd floors can be used by guild members,
The 4th floor as the guild management office.
I’ll use the 5th floor.
‘Perfect.’
As we finished touring the building and came outside,
“Director!”
A red-faced middle-aged man approached, breathing heavily.
As soon as she saw him, the smile completely disappeared from Go Ju-hui’s face.
“Team Leader Han Myeong-jin.”
Ah, so that man was Team Leader Han Myeong-jin.
How did he know to come here?
“What brings you all the way here?”
Han Myeong-jin didn’t answer Go Ju-hui’s question.
Instead,
“What on earth are you thinking?!”
He shouted at Go Ju-hui with a booming voice.
Go Ju-hui is a director.
Han Myeong-jin is a team leader.
Something seems seriously wrong here.
‘How did Han Myeong-jin know to come here?’
* * *
Han Myeong-jin was already thoroughly enraged.
Of all people, the precious daughter of GR Group.
He never expected Go Ju-hui to stab GR Guild in the back.
He thought she’d be satisfied with her position as External Cooperation Team Director and stay quiet.
But behind the scenes, she was pulling something like this?
Moreover, targeting Lee Tae-pyeong, who was GR Guild’s recruitment target.
Instead of recruiting him, she was helping him create a new guild?
This wasn’t just betrayal.
It was treason against GR Group.
The situation was already weakened with existing hunters leaving.
Recruiting Lee Tae-pyeong would have solved everything,
but Lee Tae-pyeong had presented ridiculous conditions and wouldn’t take any guild’s hand.
All because he had something to rely on.
Han Myeong-jin, who had been living comfortably off GR Guild,
couldn’t stand by and watch this situation.
His lifeline was at stake.
Fortunately,
his opponents were the clueless rookie Lee Tae-pyeong and
Go Ju-hui, who was far down in GR Group’s hierarchy.
That was why Han Myeong-jin could be so aggressive.
Go Ju-hui would back down if he mentioned GR Group and her brothers.
And Lee Tae-pyeong, who didn’t know the first thing about business, could be coaxed into joining hands with GR Guild using carrot and stick.
Just like the countless hunters who had passed through GR Guild over the past decade.
“Hunter Lee Tae-pyeong.”
“….”
“I thought you were just a young man who didn’t know anything, but to be this ignorant of how the world works….”
“Me?”
Lee Tae-pyeong looked as if he didn’t understand,
staring at Han Myeong-jin with wide eyes.
She opened her eyes wide and stared at Han Myeongjin.
“I don’t know what words the director, or rather the young lady, used to seduce you.”
“Seduce?”
Lee Tae-pyeong’s expression showed even more incomprehension.
Go Ju-hui beside Lee Tae-pyeong also had a look of disbelief.
“What you’re doing right now is making an enemy not just of GR Guild, but of GR Group itself.”
“Hmm….”
“Do you understand? Right now you might feel like you’re doing well with everyone calling you Rookie, Rookie. But there are plenty of hunters who give up after the 40th Floor.”
“….”
“Do you think you’ll be able to act this arrogantly then too?”
Han Myeong-jin raised his voice as if scolding.
And at the same time,
“Puhahak!”
Lee Tae-pyeong burst into laughter as if he couldn’t hold it in any longer.
“Pukuk…. Ah, sor, sorry… kekuk!”
Lee Tae-pyeong covered his mouth and barely managed to suppress his laughter.
Naturally, this only further fueled Han Myeong-jin’s anger.
“Do you think this is some kind of jo…”
“No, it’s just funny because you’re saying such clichéd things.”
“What?”
“This isn’t some drama.”
After wiping away the tears that had formed in his eyes,
Lee Tae-pyeong let out a short sigh.
“It seems like Han Myeong-jin is the one who doesn’t know how the game is being played right now.”
“What did you say?”
“When we should be flying overseas right away, you’re giving unsolicited advice….”
At the sound of tongue-clicking, Han Myeong-jin’s face instantly crumpled.
“Hey, do you know what you’re saying right now…!”
“Go Ju-hui, could you please explain from here? I’m not familiar with the technical terms in that field.”
At Lee Tae-pyeong’s words, Go Ju-hui smiled coldly.
“Of course.”
When Go Ju-hui gestured, her attendant handed over a file folder as if they had been waiting.
“This is a list of ‘corruption’ by Han Myeong-jin and other high-ranking GR Guild officials.”
“Wh, what did you say…?”
“From unfair contracts to manipulated transaction records. Even writing down just the major ones was overwhelming, wasn’t it?”
“Mi, Miss!”
“You should call me Director, not Miss, shouldn’t you?”
Gulp.
Han Myeong-jin swallowed dry saliva and began trembling.
“Di, Director! What do you mean by that? Surely you’re not going to do something to GR Guild…”
This time Lee Tae-pyeong answered instead of Go Ju-hui.
“We’re going to send you to your grave.”
Han Myeong-jin looked desperately at Go Ju-hui, and Go Ju-hui smiled back at him.
“The, the chairman won’t stand for this….”
“You really don’t know anything about my father, Team Leader.”
“What?!”
“My father is a meritocrat to a chilling degree.”
“…!!!”
“He’ll probably praise me instead, won’t he?”
-Charalarak!
As if his strength had left him, papers scattered from Han Myeong-jin’s hands.
And Lee Tae-pyeong,
“Oh my, let me pick those up for you.”
Kindly picked up the reports filled with all sorts of corruption for Han Myeong-jin, one by one….
“Here you go.”
And handed them over with a smile.
