Episode 65
Episode 65
With the parent guild disappearing,
GR Group was already cornered into a dead end.
They were somehow holding on for now, but if they didn’t find a solution immediately, GR Group’s byproduct processing business would collapse soon.
As a last resort, they had started dealing with small and medium guilds, but that alone was far from sufficient.
They needed to find another way out.
However, guilds other than GR Guild already had established suppliers for Tower byproducts.
Even places that dealt flexibly,
the possibility of them trading Tower byproducts with GR Group was extremely low.
If GR Group collapsed like this,
not only guilds but other byproduct processing companies would benefit as well.
They could just lie down with their mouths open and rice cakes would fall in.
Who would possibly take GR’s hand?
“Grgh…!”
GR Group knew this fact better than anyone else.
“Who are you to cause trouble in someone else’s guild?”
Go Min-cheol immediately recognized that the man before him was that ‘Lee Tae-pyeong’.
However, with pain that felt like his wrist was breaking, he couldn’t easily open his mouth and could only groan.
“…Guild Leader, this is my older brother.”
“Your older brother?”
“Yes. He said he wanted to meet you and came looking.”
“Coming without an appointment and causing trouble like this…”
Tsk tsk.
The sound of Lee Tae-pyeong clicking his tongue seemed particularly loud.
Had he ever been humiliated like this in his life?
Go Min-cheol gritted his teeth and trembled to endure the pain.
-Smack!
Lee Tae-pyeong swatted his hand away.
“Aaah!”
And Go Min-cheol screamed from the tremendous pain.
What was worse than the pain was the humiliation.
Living as a power player in GR Group, he had never been treated like this even once.
‘What the hell is that look, like he’s looking at some bug…!’
When standing before him, everyone was busy bowing their heads.
Lee Tae-pyeong didn’t hide his annoyed and bothered expression.
‘Why am I, the son of GR Group, being treated like this!’
However.
Unlike before, this was a situation where he couldn’t act on his temper.
If it were up to his feelings, he’d want to punch Lee Tae-pyeong’s jaw right now…
‘Stay calm.’
The opponent wasn’t an ordinary civilian, but a guild leader.
Moreover, a super rookie receiving attention from the industry.
There were even rumors that the Management Bureau was backing Lee Tae-pyeong…
Even Go Min-cheol couldn’t act recklessly.
If he messed things up, his father’s wrath would come down on him.
‘Damn it, why does father leave Go Ju-hui alone…!’
Go Min-cheol swallowed his rising anger and looked at Lee Tae-pyeong.
While forcing a smile.
“Hunter Lee Tae-pyeong, the reason I came today is…”
“No need to speak. Since you came without an appointment, it can’t be that important a matter.”
“…!”
“If it were really important, please come formally later. Don’t sneak in like a thief and cause trouble.”
“What, what did you say?”
Whether Go Min-cheol was glaring with a red face or not,
Lee Tae-pyeong turned his head and spoke to Go Ju-hui.
“Representative Go, could you please strengthen security? Having outsiders infiltrate my area feels really unpleasant.”
“Understood, Guild Leader. I’ll take measures immediately.”
Go Ju-hui answered with a respectful attitude.
Go Min-cheol couldn’t help but be surprised at this completely different appearance from her usual arrogant behavior.
‘Then as expected…’
Wrong puzzle pieces fit together in Go Min-cheol’s mind.
If Go Ju-hui and Lee Tae-pyeong were in a romantic relationship…
Then,
Go Ju-hui suddenly establishing a guild.
Lee Tae-pyeong rejecting all guild proposals.
‘It makes sense!’
Go Min-cheol, unaware of how absurd his misconception was,
‘There was a reason these two were in cahoots!’
looked at the two with a confident face.
Go Ju-hui found a way to survive by catching Lee Tae-pyeong,
Lee Tae-pyeong caught Go Ju-hui aiming for GR Group’s money.
…This ridiculous delusion had already become ‘fact’ in Go Min-cheol’s mind.
“Mr. Lee Tae-pyeong.”
Go Min-cheol, whose confidence rose with his delusion buff, called Lee Tae-pyeong with a cocky attitude.
“Let’s keep things amicable.”
“Excuse me?”
“Stop the power struggle and let’s be amicable.”
“Power struggle?”
“We know you’re aiming for GR Guild’s vacant position.”
“…”
“But do you think Go Ju-hui alone can take that position?”
At Go Min-cheol’s words, Lee Tae-pyeong looked at Go Ju-hui.
Go Ju-hui let out a laugh.
Go Ju-hui realized that Go Min-cheol was seriously mistaken about something.
But she didn’t bother to stop him.
Go Min-cheol also needed to feel with his whole body that someone like Lee Tae-pyeong existed in this world.
The fact that there existed an opponent against whom the rules he knew didn’t work.
“Yeah, I get it. What’s all this about family being good? I should help at times like this.”
“…”
“But if I help you, Mr. Lee Tae-pyeong should help me too, shouldn’t you?”
“…”
“Let’s finish the byproduct trading contract first. The preparations are ready anyway, right?”
Gesture gesture.
At Go Min-cheol’s hand gestures, Lee Tae-pyeong’s eyebrows finally furrowed.
“I’m sorry, but.”
“Yeah, you should be sorry. How could you stab someone in the back…”
“Am I Go Min-cheol’s lackey… or something?”
“…Huh?”
Lackey?
Go Min-cheol was flustered by the unexpected words.
“Or are you treating me like the youngest just because there’s a youngest sister here?”
“Wh, what, what….”
“How confusing, isn’t it?”
Lee Tae-pyeong glanced at Go Ju-hui.
“I hired Go Ju-hui based on her abilities.”
“….”
“And she’s being treated like this?”
Then, as if she had been waiting, Go Ju-hui bowed to Lee Tae-pyeong.
“I’m sorry, Guild Leader. It’s my fault for not conducting myself properly.”
“President Go, is there any reason I should work with someone who can’t even handle their family problems properly?”
At Lee Tae-pyeong’s voice, cold enough to freeze the air,
“…!!”
It was Go Min-cheol, not Go Ju-hui, who was surprised.
It was a situation where bowing his head and apologizing immediately wouldn’t be enough,
But Go Min-cheol just stood there with a dumbfounded expression.
“Ah, should I just fire her and handle everything myself….”
It was a monologue, but not really a monologue.
Go Min-cheol’s face quickly drained of color as he grasped the situation.
If Go Ju-hui was fired like this and Lee Tae-pyeong ran Typhoon Guild alone….
Would he really trade byproducts with GR Group?
The answer was NO.
Even someone who hadn’t received elite education bought with money like Go Min-cheol could know that answer for certain.
“W-w-w-wait….”
Go Min-cheol stammered and pushed up his sliding glasses.
“President Go, let’s send this person out first.”
“Yes, Guild Leader.”
“Let’s discuss firing you after we handle this matter first.”
“Yes.”
Go Ju-hui answered while bowing her head repeatedly.
The moment he saw that sight, a future flashed quickly through Go Min-cheol’s mind.
-You stupid fool!
-How could you mess up the work like this?
-What should I tell Father….
-Go Min-cheol, you’re out of GR now.
“Huk….”
His breathing suddenly became labored.
Cold sweat ran down his forehead.
“President Go Min-cheol, please leave now.”
Go Ju-hui cast a cold gaze.
As if everything was ruined because of him from GR Group.
-Step, step.
Regardless.
Lee Tae-pyeong had turned around and was disappearing.
“W-wait! Just a moment!”
“Stop it. It’s all over.”
“Ju, Ju-hui. Try to stop Lee Tae-pyeong, no, the Guild Leader!”
Go Min-cheol shouted desperately.
“Ha!”
Go Ju-hui laughed as if it was absurd.
“He’s not leisurely enough to deal with you, brother.”
“Go Ju-hui!”
“Didn’t you hear what he said? He’s talking about firing me too.”
“…!”
“What are you going to do now?”
Go Min-cheol looked at Go Ju-hui with a pale face.
If they lost Typhoon Guild like this,
GR Group’s Tower byproduct processing business would be as good as ruined!
Just imagining it made his knees weak, and Go Min-cheol staggered.
Go Ju-hui clicked her tongue watching such Go Min-cheol.
“My efforts to try to attach a respirator to GR were ruined by President Go Min-cheol.”
“….”
“I’ll tell Father clearly.”
-Thud!
Go Min-cheol collapsed right there.
“I have to beg the Guild Leader not to fire me, so I can’t see you out.”
“Th-that’s….”
“Take care.”
Go Ju-hui turned around without any regret.
* * *
Two days later.
The official heir who could be called the real power of GR Group.
Ko Won-cheol, Chairman Go Myeong-jung’s eldest son, personally visited Typhoon Guild.
The purpose of the visit was naturally,
“I apologize.”
For the Tower byproduct trading contract between Typhoon Guild and GR Group.
I glanced at Ko Won-cheol who was politely bowing his head.
He was someone I’d only seen on the news, but to meet him here like this.
Ko Won-cheol directly apologized for Go Min-cheol’s misconduct,
And made it clear that Go Min-cheol’s intentions were not GR Group’s intentions.
Furthermore, GR Group wanted to cooperate closely with Typhoon Guild….
‘…Anyone can see these are favorable conditions for us.’
He presented a contract with incredibly generous terms.
That made sense,
Since it was now virtually confirmed that GR Guild would collapse.
To maintain the Tower byproduct business, they had to find a stable supplier as quickly as possible.
“We’ll review it and contact you.”
“Please take good care of us, Guild Leader.”
An attitude that couldn’t be more respectful.
It was natural since he must already know how I had treated Go Min-cheol.
According to Go Ju-hui, Go Min-cheol was demoted by his angry father.
He was essentially forced to withdraw from the byproduct business.
And it was almost certain that the distribution side would be entrusted to Go Ju-hui.
“It’s all thanks to a good partner.”
“Is that so?”
“I was really surprised. That kind of thing can’t be learned anywhere.”
“Hahaha.”
“I knew you were bold, but….”
Go Ju-hui smiles brightly.
“It seems you were born with a businessman’s instincts!”
“That can’t be….”
Since she’s genuinely impressed, I wonder if she’s actually teasing me.
“Thanks to you, Guild Leader, I won’t have to worry from now on.”
At Go Ju-hui’s words, I could only scratch the back of my head.
Businessman’s instincts….
Rather than that, I think it’s just because I’ve read a lot of manga.
Anyway, she says there’s nothing to worry about from now on.
That must be a good thing!
“Then, I’ll leave the contract matters to you, Representative Go.”
“Yes. Please trust me with it.”
Usually when a guild is established, they recruit new hunters.
Go Ju-hui brought up that topic too, but I declined.
Hunter recruitment is entirely my decision.
The reason is that I only want people I can trust in my guild.
If I’m going to take proper care of them, I should do it myself.
However.
‘It’ll take some time until the guild gets organized….’
In the meantime, should I handle the promises I made with other guilds first?
