In the Same Boat

[Acquired unique trait ‘Treasure Inspiration’! At random times, the Greedy Collector will recall inspiration about treasures! What kind of inspiration about treasure appearance, location, story, etc. will come is unknown!]

‘Holy.’

Jinhyeok covered his mouth with one hand.

He learned for the first time.

That promotion was possible this way too.

This was truly an unexpected harvest.

Ding!

‘It’s not over?’

He turned his eyes to the messages starting again.

[Collector Yoo Jin-hyeok: Legendary cards owned 1, Epic cards owned 2]

[You possess three cards of Epic grade or higher! Synchronization rate increases by 10%! Current synchronization rate: 130%]

[Obtained 1 Blank Card – Jin! Blank Card: 0, Blank Card – Gae: 0, Blank Card – Jin: 1]

He raised his other hand too and blocked his mouth with all his strength.

This was the time when people were just preparing to go to work.

He couldn’t cause trouble by shouting cheers loud enough to shake the officetel.

“How is Epic grade Momo!!”

Momo struck a victory pose while going “Ta-da!”

Perhaps because of the promotion, her cheeks seemed to have gotten a bit plumper.

Her shine seemed to flow more glossily too.

Anyway.

Clap clap clap clap clap!

He clapped enthusiastically like a seal.

The friends who were eating fermented soybean paste stew also got up and clapped along in bewilderment.

“Yes! Very excellent! As expected of my unit member! Continue to strive without rest!”

Unit commander Kancheo also praised his unit member’s hard work.

But when did she become a unit member?

“How is it! How is it! How is iiit!”

Momo bounced around excitedly.

Jinhyeok turned his eyes to the inventory.

There was still one more thing he had to give to Kancheo, but he decided to postpone it a bit.

If Kancheo started bouncing around too, it seemed like it would be unmanageable.

Swoosh.

He turned his eyes to the balcony.

And he offered sincere thanks.

To Jin Yun-ho of the Seoul Central Hunter Bureau who gave him such an incredible treasure.

‘But will that really be enough?’

On the way out of the Hunter Bureau after collecting three items.

Jin Yun-ho, who came out to see him off, had cautiously asked something.

Jin Yun-ho had emphasized several times that it wasn’t absolutely essential and he was just asking just in case.

-Would it be okay to share Jinhyeok’s identity with just two more people? They’re high-ranking Hunter Bureau officials and both are trustworthy individuals.

For Jinhyeok, it was such an easy matter that he readily answered “Of course!”

-I’m relieved you gave permission. Thank you so much.

Since it seemed to be internal Hunter Bureau affairs, he didn’t bother asking what it was about.

However, Jin Yun-ho was greatly relieved upon hearing the answer.

‘I don’t know what circumstances there are, but.’

After putting his hands together and closing his eyes tightly.

‘May everything you do work out well!’

He cheered with all his heart.

Team Leader Jin Yun-ho, fighting.

Seoul Central Hunter Bureau, Head of Personnel Department Office.

Han Ji-won, seated in her chair, listened to Hunter Bureau Chief Kang Young-hun’s story.

‘How fierce. He really brought it.’

Lee Chang-gi, sitting across from her, drew a dizzying smile.

An axe placed on the table.

Fortunately, that thing wasn’t swung around.

“That’s it. The background of the decision I made today.”

Han Ji-won, who exhaled quietly, leaned back into the sofa.

Then she nodded and clicked her tongue very softly.

‘There’s no answer.’

At first, she thought it was out of the blue.

Suddenly Sugihara Gate?

What does that have to do with the current situation?

But after hearing everything, it made sense.

It was Runner.

The mastermind behind Sugihara Gate.

The aftermath of this gate was by no means small.

Within a day, Japan’s Prime Minister resigned and the ruling Kamin Party collapsed.

The Innovation Party, which had been the second force, replaced this vacancy, and Sato Tsubasa was being mentioned as a new prime ministerial candidate.

Someone might say.

It’s just Japan’s internal affairs, and even if the ruling party changes, it won’t be much different from before.

That only formal apologies and compensation for the players who died in Chungnam would continue and then end.

But this prediction was spectacularly wrong.

Compromise proposals for all problems that had been stagnant for a long time – history, islands, trade, etc. – were presented from the Japanese side.

In a direction overwhelmingly favorable to Korea, enough to make other countries as well as Korea draw question marks.

All in just one day.

‘And all of that was thanks to Runner.’

It was beyond absurd to the point of being completely unrealistic.

No matter how much of a Runner, he’s just an individual.

Yet such an individual brought about this change overnight.

Kang Young-hun, who had been looking at Han Ji-won, continued speaking.

“Early this morning, the Ministry of Economy and Finance unofficially approved the Hunter Bureau’s budget proposal. An official announcement will come soon too.”

A bundle of documents was pushed across the table.

It was a report stating that a Runner had caused the Sugihara Gate incident.

“This is the report I sent to the Ministry of Economy and Finance before the approval came through.”

# Reporter: Personnel Bureau Chief Lee Chang-gi.

I glared at Lee Chang-gi sitting across from me.

Lee Chang-gi shrugged his shoulders and made his characteristic sly smile.

While I understood it logically, I couldn’t help but find him damn annoying.

To pull this kind of stunt at the crack of dawn, when everyone should be sound asleep. As expected, I hate that man.

“To make a somewhat lame excuse, I did give approval and the order, but I told them not to use it immediately. I said we should discuss it first when you came to work.”

“I apologize, Director. I arbitrarily judged it as a recommendation rather than an order.”

“Even if it was just a recommendation, I’d appreciate it if you at least pretended to listen.”

“I’ll make an effort.”

Lee Chang-gi even bowed his head properly.

Even more annoying.

To the point where I wanted to slap him immediately.

“…I understand.”

Han Ji-won let out a deep sigh and ran her hand through her hair.

It was frustrating and infuriating, but what could she do?

He had even solved the Hunter Bureau’s budget issue in one go, so she had to give him credit.

“Of course, understanding aside… Bureau Chief Lee Chang-gi, I won’t forget what happened today.”

Setting everything else aside, the fact remained that she had been openly outmaneuvered, regardless of the reason.

She planned to pay him back someday.

Absolutely. Several times over.

“Whoa whoa. Calm down a bit, Bureau Chief Han Ji-won. We haven’t finished talking yet.”

“If the Director is done speaking, I’d like to get up now. I don’t want to hear what Bureau Chief Lee Chang-gi has to say. I might unconsciously swing an axe.”

Lee Chang-gi made an “ugh” expression at the chilling coldness.

It was even scarier because he knew she was serious.

So, before getting hit by an axe, he threw a curveball.

“Strategic Operations Division Chief. How about getting on the same boat now?”

“The same boat? You and me? What do you mean? Are you playing word games?”

“No. I’m serious. I’d like you to focus on developing strategies for the Runner going forward.”

“Is that getting on the same boat? Or is it pushing the boat you and Team Leader Jin Yun-ho are on from underwater? Anyway, I don’t even know who the Runner is…”

“I’ll tell you. Who the Runner is.”

Han Ji-won’s eyes widened.

Did she hear wrong? What did he just say he’d tell her?

“Of course, that’s only if the Strategic Operations Division Chief promises to get on the same boat.”

When Han Ji-won looked at him, Kang Young-hun shrugged his shoulders.

“I’m not forcing you, but I’d also like you to think about it positively. Because I don’t know who the Runner is either.”

Kang Young-hun pointed at Lee Chang-gi.

“He says he’ll tell us. If you join, he’ll tell me too.”

Han Ji-won rubbed her face with her hands.

Whether her makeup got smudged or not didn’t matter.

She wanted to refuse immediately.

Because she wanted to reject every word and proposal that man Lee Chang-gi offered.

But for that… it was too attractive and sweet a proposal.

After deep contemplation, Han Ji-won made her decision and opened her mouth.

“I am…”

Seoul Central Hunter Bureau lobby.

The elevator doors opened and Han Ji-won appeared.

Ryu Seung-gwon, who had been waiting anxiously while shaking his legs, sprang up like a spring.

“What the hell is this supposed to be?! Making people wait like this! What about the bag? Ji-won! Say something…”

“Strategic Operations Division Chief.”

“What did you say?”

“Call me Strategic Operations Division Chief, not Ji-won. You should have basic manners, shouldn’t you? You’re an adult, not a child.”

Ryu Seung-gwon’s eyes widened.

What is this?

He wondered if he had heard wrong.

“Ha! Hey, Strategic Operations Division Chief Han Ji-won! Can you handle this?”

“Handle what?”

“Can you handle the higher-ups or public opinion?! Articles about naturalization to China or Japan will come out today!”

“Go ahead.”

“What, what?”

“I said go ahead.”

She had transferred to the powerful aircraft carrier called Runner.

There was no reason to feel regret for a pirate ship like the one in front of her.

“Player Ryu Seung-gwon. Don’t you get it yet? Even though you keep singing about bags, neither China nor Japan has made any offers. To give you a bag. Does a big country like China not have a single spatial bag?”

Han Ji-won took a couple of steps closer and continued.

“They have them but won’t give you one. Because it’s ambiguous. Because you’re mediocre. It means you don’t have that kind of value. That astronomical amount you claim you were offered? You won’t receive all of it anyway. They’ll pay for a month or two, then cut it off the moment you naturalize. Do you think I’ve only seen one or two cases like that?”

Ryu Seung-gwon, who had been trembling, raised his voice.

“Hey, you bit…”

“If you’re going to bark, think carefully about where you are before you bark.”

“!!!”

Only then feeling the gazes, he looked around.

Hunters who had finished preparing to subdue him at any moment and were glaring at Ryu Seung-gwon.

When Ryu Seung-gwon became speechless, Han Ji-won brushed off her shoulders.

“I know. Me too. That I’m a trash bat bastard who changes my words back and forth. So I’ll let it slide. You putting your hand on my shoulder carelessly. And.”

Han Ji-won turned around with a sneer.

“Younger men are nice, but punk kids like you are rejected. Well then, goodbye.”

Han Ji-won walking away with clicking sounds.

“Aaaaaaahhhhh!!!”

Ryu Seung-gwon, who had been watching in a daze, screamed roughly.

That was the best and all he could do.

In front of Genex, South Korea’s largest steel company.

# I’m coming out now.

Jinhyeok, who confirmed the KakaoTalk message, started walking.

Since he had started the morning busily anyway, he planned to fulfill all the appointments he had postponed while he was at it.

Handling all outside business while he was out.

That was the characteristic of a homebody who loved staying home.
