My Right Hand Is Too Strong Episode 99
Episode 99. New Guild
In a way, it’s obvious, but I’ve never belonged to any other guild.
Still, when I worked for the Association, I did hear about the benefits that guilds provide.
‘Starting from potions that restore your body to covering healing costs when hunters get injured.’
A place that supports everything a hunter needs.
That’s what I heard guilds were like.
Although guilds take a percentage of what individual hunters earn as commission, even considering that, guilds are attractive enough places to join.
After all, relationships bound by money and contracts are safer than friendships or loyalty that could break at any moment.
‘So, what are you going to offer me?’
Honestly, I’ve already made up my mind.
Still, the reason I’m asking is because I’m curious what conditions she’ll propose.
I smiled and focused on Cheon Yu-na’s opening mouth.
Soon I was flustered and my smile cracked.
“Wh-what did you say?”
“There’s nothing I can do for you.”
Aren’t you a third-generation chaebol?
Shouldn’t you be offering some kind of amazing support or something?
When I stared at her in confusion, Cheon Yu-na spoke while reading the room.
“Actually… the guild is a business I haven’t reported to the group. So I can’t receive any support. I probably can’t use the wealth I have as Hwiseong Group’s granddaughter either.”
Wait a minute.
If you’re starting with nothing, isn’t that just the immature antics of a spoiled third-generation chaebol?
I spoke to Cheon Yu-na with slightly sunken eyes.
“Do you at least have proper contracts and startup funds prepared?”
“Ah, yes. There’s no problem with that part. I have quite a bit of money I’ve saved up separately from Hwiseong Group’s wealth.”
Cheon Yu-na scratched the back of her head and held up her phone.
I widened my eyes looking at the chart displayed on her phone.
“What is this…”
“Stocks are easier than I thought, you know?”
On the phone screen was Cheon Yu-na’s stock chart, and all the numbers were colored red.
I’ve never seen such a clean stock chart in my life.
“The startup funds are ready. I’ve also figured out everything about how to run a guild.”
“…”
This feels somehow futile.
It’s like I witnessed money being copied right before my eyes.
What the hell was I doing manual labor for, saying I’d make money?
For a moment, doubt welled up, but even that evaporated like bubbles.
‘Hmm, I guess not doing it is right after all.’
Wasn’t the person closest to me at the construction site someone who came after doing cryptocurrency?
Thinking about that, this must surely be a kind of talent too.
Anyway.
“I won’t be able to offer you anything special compared to other A-rank guilds, Black Dragon.”
Of course, she’d give the best treatment within the guild, but it would be lacking compared to other guilds.
There’s nothing else she can do for me.
However.
“I will support whatever you do, Black Dragon.”
“Anything?”
“Yes. Even if Black Dragon becomes evil and tries to dominate the world, unconditionally.”
Because you’re my fan?
No.
This isn’t because of such a trivial reason.
“A life debt can’t be repaid with just meals or money, can it?”
She owes a life debt.
She was saved by a single person at death’s door.
And yet she repaid that kindness with betrayal.
How could she repay that with mere meals or money?
This is the maximum gratitude she can show.
And it will be the repayment she can offer to him for trusting her and joining the guild.
Therefore, she smiled and declared.
“I will do my utmost to make the guild I established the best in South Korea.”
Cheon Yu-na placed her hand on her chest and looked at me with upright eyes.
Her pupils were filled with confidence, without a trace of wavering.
“And I’m certain that without Black Dragon, it’s impossible for me to walk that path.”
“…Aren’t you rating me too highly?”
“If that’s the case, then I’d be wrong. But do you really think I’m wrong, Black Dragon?”
“No.”
As I felt before, pure goodwill is really heavy.
Should I say I don’t know how to react?
I clicked my tongue softly and decided to respond to her faith with a raised corner of my mouth.
“Fine. I’ll join your damn guild.”
“Wow…!”
“But I have conditions on my side too.”
I held up three fingers before Cheon Yu-na could even rejoice.
“First. Even if I’m away, don’t look for me. I’ll tell you before I leave, but I can’t give you a definite answer about when I’ll return.”
“Yes, I understand.”
There might be others besides me who can travel between Orishion and Earth.
I’ve been to Orishion several times, but I still don’t know what kind of world it is.
Therefore, I was planning to enter as quickly as possible the moment the next Tower opens.
“Second, the path I’m taking won’t be safe. Are you prepared to take risks?”
“Of course.”
I learned that Hyung is connected to those related to magi.
And I’ve already stirred up that hornet’s nest.
Nobody knows when, where, or what kind of danger might approach.
The possibility of Cheon Yu-na, who failed even the D-rank promotion exam, resisting magi is infinitely low.
“Lastly, the third and most important thing.”
“Please tell me anything.”
Gulp.
Cheon Yu-na swallowed dry saliva and looked at me.
I smiled at her and said.
“Keep all the words you just said.”
“…Is that all?”
“Yeah.”
Once you set a goal, you absolutely keep it.
Isn’t that cool?
Hearing an unexpected answer, Cheon Yu-na had a blank expression for a moment, then soon smiled brightly and nodded.
“Th-then the contract… Ah! I left it behind!”
“…”
“Wait a moment! I’ll call my manager and ask him to bring it!”
Cheon Yu-na frantically tapped her phone and let out a sigh of relief as she sank into her chair.
Seeing that, I get the feeling I made the wrong choice, but it’s probably just my imagination.
I cleared my throat and stabbed my spoon deep into the slightly melted ice cream as I asked.
“So, have you thought of a guild name?”
“Ah, yes. I’ve picked one out.”
“Let me hear the name.”
I had agreed to join, but I hadn’t heard the name of the guild I’d be entering.
At my question, Cheon Yu-na smiled confidently and opened her mouth proudly.
“Strongest Black Dragon Guild!”
“…What?”
“The guild name is Strongest Black Dragon—”
“Stop.”
I looked at Cheon Yu-na with a coldly hardened expression.
“Let’s change the guild name.”
“Huh? Why?”
“That’s… no good.”
What’s not good is not good.
At my muttering, Cheon Yu-na’s expression deflated as she hunched her shoulders.
She looked somewhat like a puppy soaked in rain, making me feel a bit sorry, but it couldn’t be helped.
I absolutely wouldn’t join with a guild name like that.
“Don’t you have any other names in mind?”
“I don’t. Actually, I’m not good at coming up with names.”
“I can tell.”
If that was the name she came up with after thinking, it was clear her naming sense was rock bottom.
I put the spoon in my mouth and tapped the table with my index finger as I spoke.
‘A guild name…’
Cheon Yu-na had chosen me as the first button of her guild.
I had responded to her choice.
As I thought of a name suitable for being the first button, I unconsciously muttered.
“Twisted Underworld…”
“Huh?”
“Right, how about Underworld?”
Twisted Underworld Lord, Black Dragon.
In a way, the source of my power dwelling in my body.
When I thought of usable words, somehow nothing else came to mind besides this.
“Underworld…”
Cheon Yu-na muttered quietly, then raised the corners of her mouth and nodded.
“It seems to suit Black Dragon-nim well, so I like it!”
So the standard for the guild name is me.
More than that, should I take it positively that Underworld suits me well?
Anyway.
“Please take care of me from now on, Guild Master of Hwangcheon Guild.”
“I’ll make it a guild worthy of you, Black Dragon-nim.”
It was the moment the new guild Hwangcheon was created.
* * *
Afterward, I received the contract from a manager who seemed to have rushed over, and quickly skimmed through the contents written in the contract.
The contract contents were filled with benefits that, as she had said, weren’t industry top-tier but were comparable to them.
“The settlement ratio is 9 to 1? And that’s conditional too? Is this really okay?”
“Since I won’t be able to do much for you, I should at least do this.”
I know this kind of settlement ratio is what only S-rank Hunters receive.
Looking at the contract, I could tell how much she wanted me.
I took the pen and lightly scrawled my name in the signature section.
“Here you go.”
“Thank you!”
“So, have you decided where the guild will be located?”
“Yes! Of course!”
Cheon Yu-na answered without a moment’s hesitation.
Somehow feeling uneasy at her appearance, I asked with a sense of foreboding.
“It’s not Gangnam, right?”
“Of course not. The moment I start the guild, I’ll be separated from Hwiseong Group.”
She would succeed proudly with her own strength and prove it to the group.
That’s why she planned to move away from Gangnam where the group was located.
“Then where are you going?”
“Jang-won-dong.”
“…Jang-won-dong?”
“There’s the fact that it’s where Black Dragon-nim lives, but the land prices are cheap too.”
“…”
“I do have initial funds, but when they’re not that abundant, there’s no place more suitable than there, right?”
I couldn’t even offer any rebuttal to her comment about cheap land prices and kept my mouth shut tight.
Having lived there for 6 years, I felt it was really cheap land.
Considering that the rent only went up once during my entire time living there, that says it all.
“Well, since we’ve finished eating, shall we go take a look?”
Tap, tap.
Cheon Yu-na hugged the contract preciously to her chest and grinned broadly.
I nodded and picked up Cheo-ri, who was licking the remaining ice cream in the bowl, along with my copy of the contract.
“Hey. You ate mine too, so what are you licking at like that? Aren’t you full?”
“Kkyuik kkyuik kkyuik!”
“Because it’s delicious? I’ll buy you more later, so be patient.”
“Kkyuik…”
Cheo-ri looked at me with reproachful eyes as if saying ‘yeah right.’
I avoided the little guy’s gaze and quietly cleared my throat.
“But you know, I suddenly got curious about something.”
“What is it?”
Step by step.
In the corridor leaving the restaurant.
I turned my head toward Cheon Yu-na and asked about the curiosity that suddenly arose.
“How did you find me today?”
Perhaps because I hadn’t shown myself on TV for nearly a month.
I had arrived in Gangnam quietly without anyone recognizing me.
The promotion exam had just ended, so stories about me wouldn’t have spread on SNS yet.
How on earth did she find me like a ghost?
Cheon Yu-na answered my question lightly while pressing the elevator button.
“I just waited.”
“You just waited?”
“Since Black Dragon-nim would naturally become an A-rank Hunter, I thought you’d apply for the promotion exam right away without worrying about it.”
Because she believed in me, she waited without any concern from around the time the promotion exam would end?
And I had applied for the promotion exam just as she expected.
Getting on the elevator, I shook my head.
“Now that I have your phone number too, you can just call or text to ask.”
“Hehe, I will.”
Arriving at the 1st floor like that.
Getting off the elevator and coming out through the back door, I looked up at the sky.
‘Quite a bit of time has passed.’
The sun’s position had tilted considerably.
Night would be coming soon.
‘I was planning to stop by Im Seung-hun’s house on the way back…’
I should take the bus straight to the subway station.
Nodding my head, I turned to look at Cheon Yu-na.
“That was delicious.”
“Not at all, as long as Black Dragon is satisfied, that’s enough.”
“Good work, I’ll be waiting for your contact.”
I waved my hand slightly toward her in greeting and walked toward the bus stop.
But then.
“….”
“….”
Why the hell is she following me?
I rolled my eyes to look to the side.
Cheon Yu-na was following behind me, carrying a bag and document envelope in her hands.
“Um, do you perhaps have something more to say?”
“Huh? No? There’s nothing.”
“Then why…?”
“I need to take the bus too.”
“…?”
With a question mark floating above my head, I stared intently at Cheon Yu-na.
“Actually, I came here secretly today.”
“….”
“Well, I came out openly but no one paid attention…”
Cheon Yu-na trailed off and smiled, showing her teeth.
“Anyway, I take the bus too. No one recognizes me, so there’s no need to drive around like my older sisters and brothers, right?”
Having said that, Cheon Yu-na’s eyes widened as she saw a green bus approaching from far away.
“Oh, I need to catch that one!”
Dash!
Gone was the dignified appearance of a third-generation chaebol heir, as Cheon Yu-na ran toward the bus stop with urgent steps.
“I’ll contact you! Get home safely!”
“Oh, okay.”
I watched Cheon Yu-na board the bus while taking out my card from my wallet.
I stood still until the bus she boarded turned the corner and disappeared from sight, then muttered quietly to Cheo-ri on my shoulder.
“Cheo-ri.”
“Kkyung?”
“She’s really someone you think you know but don’t. Right?”
“Kkyung kkyung.”
Sigh.
Letting out a small sigh, I boarded the blue bus that came next.
Now it was time to go home.
