Episode 64
Episode 64
-Lee Tae-pyeong rejects all guild recruitment offers and establishes ‘New Guild’.
-‘Typhoon Guild’, the beginning of an unprecedented one-man guild?
-Real-life ‘unfair dealing’… Will GR Guild face sanctions?
-Tower byproduct distribution gap… GR Group ‘stamping feet’
“Articles are pouring out, absolutely pouring.”
On television, on phones, everywhere it’s nothing but Typhoon Guild articles.
Go Ju-hui said she’d handle this side of things…
‘Quite a flashy start.’
Well, for Go Ju-hui it might be natural.
She needs to leave a strong impression on GR Group.
From my perspective, it wasn’t bad either.
Since I’ve established a guild, I also need to leave a strong impression.
It’s certainly not an easy task.
But with the Management Bureau’s help,
and other guilds being friendly, things are going well.
Especially since GR Guild and GR Group have built up bad blood in many places, it feels like we’re subtly benefiting as their opposition?
-Finally a rookie who’s truly like a rookie has appeared.
-Is the hunter scene really getting reshuffled now?
-A new guild, can’t tell if that’s smart or stupid. Guess we’ll have to wait and see?
-Is this related to GR? My stocks@#$%!!
-Hunters can be individual business owners too?
-What’s so special about this guy that the Management Bureau is backing him?
-Lee Tae-pyeong vs Choi Mu-ryeong
-Hey that’s crossing the line, he’s not on Choi Mu-ryeong’s level
-His face looks intense though?
-Lee Tae-pyeong has school violence controversy ㅇㅇ
“Ugh!”
What school violence!
I was about to write a rebuttal comment,
-Please leave this matter to me.
Go Ju-hui’s words came to mind and I stopped my hand.
“Geez, really…”
Honestly, there are many hunters with school violence controversies.
But I really didn’t do that~!!!
I’m dying of injustice.
Should I find out who this bastard is?
“…”
No.
What would I do if I found out.
It’s not like I can go punch them.
If the problem gets bigger, Go Ju-hui will handle it.
More importantly, what I need to focus on first is…
‘Team members.’
That’s right.
I roughly hinted at it,
but it’s better to be clear about these things.
‘We can lightly run through the Tower together and then talk, right?’
I’d been resting for a few days anyway and my body felt stiff.
“Sang-jin, could you contact the team members?”
“Yes, understood.”
* * *
-Crack!!
-Clatter!!!
-Crash!!!
The sound of skeletons being smashed is loud.
Bone fragments scattering in all directions.
And platinum boxes dropping as if it’s natural.
‘The 30th floors are manageable now…’
Especially after Baek Ha-rim joined, the clearing speed became even faster.
Gold boxes don’t even drop anymore.
I don’t know how fast everyone has grown.
-Click.
High-grade items being grasped in each person’s hands.
“…”
“…”
“…”
However, the team members’ expressions weren’t as bright as before.
Should I call it a somewhat dejected atmosphere?
“Ahem…”
I cleared my throat and glanced at everyone.
“…Should we head back now?”
When our eyes met, Cha Ye-rin muttered quietly.
“W-wait a moment!”
At my words, everyone quickly turned their heads to look at me.
Hesitating.
Everyone has expressions like they want to ask something but can’t.
“The reason I gathered everyone today is because I have something I want to say to all of you…”
At my words,
the three people’s expressions became even more gloomy.
Cha Ye-rin was completely avoiding eye contact,
and Ujeongmin hung his head low.
At least Baek Ha-rim looked at me and opened his mouth.
“We know what you’re going to say.”
Baek Ha-rim with a bitter smile.
What kind of atmosphere is this?
This wasn’t the atmosphere I had in mind?!
“Don’t worry about the party. I’ll ask Kang Min-a to match us with a new dealer…”
Huh?
Dealer matching?
What does that mean?!
“…We might all scatter, but we’ll never forget what you’ve done for us, Tae-pyeong.”
Cha Ye-rin spoke in a calm voice, no, a voice suppressing her emotions.
Wait, wait, wait!
I think there’s some kind of misunderstanding here?!
-Swoosh!
At that moment, Ujeongmin hugged me with all his strength.
“Hyung, I’ll do well, so please take me with you too!”
What’s with these people saying things that are perfect for misunderstandings?!?!
“W-wait, wait a minute!!!”
I hurriedly pushed Ujeongmin away and looked at the three people with a flustered face.
Cha Ye-rin and Baek Ha-rim, who looked like they knew everything.
And even Ujeongmin, who looked like he was about to cry.
“I think you’re misunderstanding something…”
“I saw all the news too!”
“Wh-what news?”
“About hyung creating a one-man guild!!!”
So that was it.
“That’s…”
I began to speak calmly.
“Half right, half wrong.”
At my words, puzzlement crossed the three people’s faces.
“What do you mean by that?”
Cha Ye-rin asked in an uncharacteristically anxious voice.
I let out a deep sigh.
“It’s true that I created a guild.”
“…”
“But it’s wrong that it’s a one-man guild.”
“…!”
The three people’s faces instantly brightened as if a light had been turned on.
“That means…”
At Baek Ha-rim’s words, I nodded.
“Yes. If you all join ‘Typhoon Guild’…”
“Great!!!!”
Before I could finish speaking, Ujeongmin shouted in a booming voice.
“I can really do well! I’ll do anything you tell me to!”
No, saying you’ll do anything I tell you is dangerous.
“…Hyung has no interest in unfair contracts, Ju-min.”
Baek Ha-rim chuckled at those words.
Cha Ye-rin’s stiff expression finally relaxed too.
“We thought this was the end for us…”
“There’s no way that would happen.”
“Still.”
“These are people who gathered at my request, so I should take responsibility until the end.”
“…”
“Of course, only if you’re all okay with it.”
If they preferred being freelance hunters or wanted to remain with the Management Bureau, I had no intention of forcing them to stay.
But if they trusted me and came to ‘Typhoon Guild’.
I really intended to take responsibility until the end.
“I’m good with it.”
Cha Ye-rin smiled slightly and nodded.
“You’re my benefactor, so of course I should follow you.”
And Baek Ha-rim too.
“Uh, you could think about it more carefully…”
Now that everyone was saying yes as if they’d been waiting, I was actually feeling burdened.
“I said it’s good, hyung!”
Ujeongmin smiled brightly.
“Ah, really! I thought I was going to be left alone…!”
“There’s no way that would happen.”
I ruffled Ujeongmin’s hair affectionately.
In a way, Ujeongmin was practically someone I had discovered, so I was more concerned about him.
The question would be whether a minor hunter could join a guild.
But the Management Bureau would probably side with me.
“Not right away. There are still many problems to solve.”
“Right, we’re fine with waiting until you’re confident.”
Baek Ha-rim nodded.
He seemed to roughly understand how things were going.
“Thank you for understanding. I’ll prepare the contracts as soon as the situation is sorted out.”
“I’m fine with doing it now!”
“Hey, no matter how eager you are, there are procedures to follow.”
I smiled and gave Ujeongmin a light flick on the forehead.
Right now the guild was chaotic in many ways.
It would be better to make contracts after things were somewhat organized.
For example,
The relationship with GR.
Something like that?
If things didn’t work out as planned,
Being affiliated with ‘Typhoon Guild’ might become a stigma for these three people.
“If you have any conditions you want, I’ll reflect them as much as possible, so please think about it.”
“Oh, I’m sure the guild leader will take care of everything well.”
“Hey, what if I try to scam you?”
Since Cha Ye-rin spoke playfully, I answered playfully too.
After thinking for a moment, Cha Ye-rin smiled brightly.
“Then I’ll just get scammed.”
“…If you say that, it makes me look like the bad guy.”
“Hahaha.”
We spent a long time talking about the new guild in a harmonious atmosphere before returning.
-Bzzzz. Bzzzz. Bzzzz.
And as soon as we returned, my phone vibrated like crazy.
-Go Ju-hui
The caller was none other than Go Ju-hui.
What’s going on all of a sudden?
“Hello.”
-Lee Tae-pyeong, no, Guild Leader.
As soon as I answered the phone, I heard Go Ju-hui’s urgent voice.
“What’s wrong…”
-You need to come to the guild right away.
“Right now?”
-Yes. A car is already waiting.
She doesn’t seem to have time to explain what’s going on.
It doesn’t matter.
I’ll find out when I get there anyway.
By the way, now that the story ended well, I was planning to treat the team members to some beef.
“Go on ahead.”
Just as I was about to explain the situation, Baek Ha-rim patted my shoulder first.
“…Thank you, hyung.”
I hurriedly left the Management Bureau.
* * *
Typhoon Guild.
“Go Ju-hui!”
A middle-aged man wearing silver-rimmed glasses and dressed in an expensive suit barged in roughly.
Go Min-cheol.
The third son of GR Group Chairman Go Myeong-jung,
and the person in charge of GR Group’s byproduct distribution business.
That very Go Min-cheol who had the closest relationship with GR Guild.
Even facing her third brother who received Chairman Go Myeong-jung’s favor,
Go Ju-hui didn’t bat an eye.
“Typhoon Guild? What exactly is your intention in interfering with our business through this kind of child’s play?”
“Child’s play? I’m just finding my own way to survive.”
“Didn’t Father tell you that your way to survive is to quietly do your job as a department head and marry into a suitable family at the right time, Ju-hui?”
Go Ju-hui snorted at Go Min-cheol’s words.
“It wasn’t Father who said that, but you brothers.”
Go Min-cheol’s face contorted.
“I wonder if you know how much damage we’ve suffered because of your little prank.”
“Is GR Group so weak that it would be shaken by a child’s prank?”
“When we should be bringing Lee Tae-pyeong back at all costs, you create a new guild? This isn’t just about GR Guild failing. If the flow of byproduct processing business gets blocked…”
“If it was such an important business, you should have managed it properly from the start. Not handed it over to a bastard like Han Myeong-jin.”
“Han Myeong-jin is an expert. He’s well-versed in Hunter society too…”
“You do know that all of GR Guild’s Hunters ran away thanks to that well-versed Han Myeong-jin, right?”
“That’s…”
“Don’t think it failed because of the guild corruption articles. Even before those articles came out, GR Guild was already on the verge of collapse.”
“…”
“Thanks to that Han Myeong-jin you trust so much.”
“Go Ju-hui!”
“How about making a request instead?”
“What?”
“Since the byproduct supply has been cut off, you’d like Typhoon Guild to do business with our GR.”
“…”
“If you make that request, I’ll try speaking to Guild Leader Lee Tae-pyeong about it.”
“You…!”
Go Min-cheol’s hand rose high.
-Swoosh!
Just as the hand wearing a gold ring was about to strike Go Ju-hui’s cheek,
-Crack!!!
Someone caught Go Min-cheol’s wrist.
-Snap!
Just from being grabbed, the sound of wrist bones being displaced echoed.
“Aaaahhh!”
Go Min-cheol screamed.
And looking at Go Min-cheol as if dumbfounded…
“What exactly are you doing in someone else’s guild?”
Lee Tae-pyeong.
It was the appearance of Typhoon Guild’s leader.
