Chapter 102
102: Dohyun’s True Identity Revealed!? (3)
Han Muyeol, who had been handling administrative duties in the Association President’s Office of the Korean Hunter Association, let out an exasperated sigh as he reviewed the report Hanalin had submitted on his way home, his mouth falling open in disbelief.
“Huh.”
A promotion to C-rank already. It was almost unbelievable, but he had already received contact from the Dohyun Party confirming their rapid progress, so he couldn’t deny it either.
Han Muyeol then searched through previous records as well.
Naturally, the records before the Dohyun Party belonged to Hwang Hana.
Hwang Hana’s record of reaching B-rank in the shortest time was five years—the fastest record not only in South Korea but also comparable to world standards, which was why everyone had been in awe of her achievement.
What in the world was this?
‘F-rank in a day, or rather half a day, E-rank in five days, D-rank in less than ten days…’
Adding it all up came to barely two weeks.
A promotion to C-rank in two weeks. It had taken Hwang Hana three years to reach C-rank, yet this was several times faster than that.
Beyond being at a loss for words, Han Muyeol found the situation so absurd that he quietly stroked his chin and tapped the desk.
Tap, tap, tap, tap.
Tapping the desk with his index finger, Han Muyeol pondered.
‘Even if I said it outright, no one would believe me.’
The speed was so extraordinary that even without hiding it, people would think he was exaggerating rather than believing the truth.
This was a pace never before seen on Earth. As far as Han Muyeol knew, only a select few among the Superior Races—of which there were merely six across all dimensions—possessed the highest tier of talent to achieve such a speed.
In other words.
‘Dohyun’s party corresponds to the highest tier of talent among the Superior Races?’
Even as the thought crossed his mind, he couldn’t help but let out a dry laugh at the absurdity of it.
Such individuals had appeared in South Korea.
It was fortunate, but caution was still necessary.
Precisely because their next destination was a C-rank Zone.
Though he was nearing retirement, the C-rank Zone remained vividly etched in Han Muyeol’s memory from when he had reached A-rank Zones, so he thought of Dohyun, Hanalin, and Jiyuchan with concern.
‘I should personally brief them before they head to C-rank.’
Believing there were things he needed to teach them directly, Han Muyeol stopped tapping the desk.
Before those youngsters headed to C-rank, he would need to.
‘Finish my work by then.’
Though he wondered what he was doing in his final years before retirement, Han Muyeol smiled warmly at the emergence of a party that could be called South Korea’s blessing.
Especially knowing that Hanalin and Jiyuchan were also developing rapidly thanks to Dohyun, he thought to himself.
‘Whatever they’re doing, they must be overflowing with confidence.’
Believing that with such ability, they deserved to be, Han Muyeol hurried to process his work.
* * *
Dohyun, whom Han Muyeol had acknowledged as remarkable and recognized as an extraordinary rising star.
But Dohyun paid no mind to such things as he drove urgently.
‘This is seriously messed up.’
He never expected Lee Dohee, with her loose tongue, would spill everything. For a moment, Dohyun felt a sense of despair, but as he drove hastily, he shook off such thoughts.
Right now, whether Lee Dohee had said everything or not wasn’t the issue.
He needed to seek forgiveness as quickly as possible, so Dohyun drove with urgency.
But going to the Family Home wasn’t the plan either.
I hadn’t contacted my parents yet, so I decided to stop by the Department Store near the Family Home to pick up some gifts, moving busily through the aisles to gather as much as I could.
‘Will these even work as gifts?’
The thought crossed my mind, but something was better than nothing, right? I quickly exited the car and entered the Department Store.
As I surveyed the elegant interior—not flashy, but decidedly upscale—and the numerous luxury brand displays, I fell into contemplation.
“Hmm.”
As I pondered what I could buy to earn their forgiveness, a truly brilliant idea struck me.
It was genuinely inspired.
‘If I don’t know what they like, I can just buy everything!’
Fortunately, I had both the money and the means to do exactly that.
I’d converted 100,000 Points before coming out, which added another 1 billion won, bringing my total savings to 3 billion won—more than enough that money was never a concern.
I headed straight for the first store that caught my eye.
I entered a Gucci store, one of the most renowned luxury brands.
A staff member approached me immediately.
“Are you looking for a particular staff member?”
“…?”
Normally they’d ask if I was looking for something specific, I thought. But I figured this must be their custom and let it pass.
“No, I’m not.”
“Ah, then allow me to assist you.”
“Yes, please do.”
The staff member was quite courteous, but I barely registered it.
My mind was completely occupied with finding a bribe—no, a gift—for my mother. I honestly wasn’t paying attention to what they were saying.
Noticing my vacant expression, the staff member carefully asked me a question.
“Do you have a particular product in mind, or is there something specific you’re looking for?”
“No, I don’t have anything specific in mind. I’m looking to buy a gift for my mother. Could you make some recommendations?”
“Of course! I’ll introduce you to products that mothers are frequently purchasing these days. Please have a seat, and I’ll show you our recommended items.”
“Okay.”
The service at this luxury brand was impressive for my first visit, and despite my scattered thoughts, I nodded in surprise as the staff member began introducing items one by one.
This was a popular handbag these days, mainly used for shopping or casual outings; that one was a luxurious piece typically worn to important occasions; and this one was perfect for everyday use because it was lightweight and versatile.
Honestly, I barely absorbed half of the explanation.
I didn’t even use Analysis, so I genuinely had no idea what they were saying, but one thing was crystal clear.
‘Basically, they all serve different purposes, right?’
Since that much was certain, when my eyes gleamed with a pale, steely light, the staff member flinched at my intensity.
Then I told them:
“I’ll take everything you’ve shown me.”
“!!! …Thank you so much, sir. I’ll prepare everything right away.”
The staff member’s eyes widened in disbelief at my words, then they quickly retrieved fresh versions of each product from the back, carefully wrapping each one as a gift and placing them in shopping bags.
Some other staff members looked enviously at my assigned staff member, but I paid them no mind.
After purchasing from Gucci, I visited another store.
This time I was looking at a watch brand for a gift—no, a bribe—for my father, and as I was about to enter:
“Do you have a reservation?”
“…A reservation?”
“Yes. I apologize, but without a reservation, I’m afraid we cannot allow entry.”
I tilted my head at the Rolex store employee blocking my entrance.
So there were stores that wouldn’t let you in without a reservation. I nodded in acknowledgment, as if to say it didn’t matter either way.
“I understand.”
“I apologize.”
Turning my back to the apologetic employee, I headed toward the Audemars Piguet store—even more expensive than Rolex—where the staff there graciously attended to me.
Since I was already laden with shopping bags from Gu X, their treatment was bound to be exceptional.
“Welcome, valued customer. Is there a particular product you’re looking for?”
“I’m not looking for anything in particular. I’d like to buy a gift for my father. Could you make some recommendations?”
“Ah! Haha! What a filial son you are. Would you like to come this way?”
“Yes.”
As I was guided to a seat, the employee brought out watches personally.
My eyes gleamed with interest as I examined each exquisite timepiece, but I didn’t lose sight of my purpose.
Today was about buying a gift for my father—not for myself—so I focused only on what the employee recommended, paying no attention to pieces for myself.
The watches they showed me weren’t overly flashy; they had a refined, modern aesthetic suitable for middle-aged men. Yet even with three billion won in my account, these were watches with prices that made me flinch.
Unlike at Gu X, I couldn’t ask for everything, so I purchased just two: one with a metal band and one with a leather band.
When I bought both without hesitation, the employee’s eyes widened, but I paid it no mind and handed over my card.
Upon seeing the card I offered, the employee’s eyes went wide.
‘This is…!?’
It was a check card issued exclusively to Hunters, and with its benefits came unlimited cash usage without a spending limit. The employee swallowed hard.
A Hunter capable of spending this much cash had to be at least C-rank or higher, so the employee gulped and bowed respectfully as he spoke.
“Thank you always for your service, Hunter.”
“…?”
“We’re able to live safely thanks to you.”
Though it was the first time I’d received such a greeting, it felt quite pleasant, and I smiled faintly. The employee then said something more to me.
“There’s a Hunter discount applied, and I’ll do my best to assist you.”
When a substantial discount was applied to watches worth hundreds of millions, I looked surprised, but seeing the employee speak as if this were only natural, I chuckled inwardly.
“Thank you.”
“No, we should be thanking you.”
“I’ll be back next time.”
When I said that, the employee felt a quiet sense of triumph inside, but since what I’d received was service and the employee had spoken with sincerity, there was no shame in it.
In any case, thinking my father’s gift might be more expensive than I’d anticipated, I decided to browse the department store further to buy additional clothes for my mother, and after purchasing various items, I headed to the parking lot.
Meanwhile, as I carried armfuls of shopping bags, one of the people watching me muttered something.
“Huh? Dohyun?”
A man who appeared to be my age muttered this, and the woman beside him asked.
“Huh? Is he your friend?”
“Yeah… A friend I’ve known since middle school. I think that’s him?”
“He must be really rich?”
“That can’t be right…?”
Since he had visited Dohyun’s home when they were younger, he was certain that Dohyun wasn’t wealthy, so he’d said as much—but uncertainty flickered across his face as he tilted his head in confusion.
The girlfriend beside him laughed brightly and spoke.
“Then he stole all of that? Ask him. Didn’t he become rich?”
“I suppose…?”
Recalling how, just a few months ago, Dohyun had been complaining about not finding employment, his friend tilted his head in bewilderment and spoke.
“I’ll have to ask him later.”
