Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 146

 

‘Why is Nayeon unnie here?’

 

It was puzzling, but.

 

Anyway, how nice to see her!

 

Should I get Nayeon unnie involved in this operation too?

 

Just as Gru was cheerfully approaching Nayeon to greet her.

 

Gidan stopped Gru in his tracks.

 

‘Hm?’

 

‘Wait a minute.’

 

Signaling with his eyes, he tucked Gru under his arm and hurriedly escaped to the garden. Then he brought Gru to a bench and sat him down.

 

‘What’s wrong? I wanted to greet Nayeon unnie.’

 

Then Gidan, who had been pacing back and forth in front of Gru, suddenly stopped and muttered quietly.

 

“…Could it be Nayeon noona?”

 

“Hm? What?”

 

“You know… the princess.”

 

“Gasp!”

 

Gru covered his mouth.

 

In front of the speechless Gru, Gidan spoke seriously.

 

“Nayeon noona also… comes from a good family.”

 

Nayeon was also the only daughter of a distinguished business family.

 

“From a wealthy family, pretty, young, and a precious daughter…”

 

As Gidan pointed out several suspicious factors, Gru gulped and said.

 

“Th, then could Meongyang Princess be, Nayeon unnie?!”

 

Gidan nodded with trembling eyes in confirmation.

 

Gyaaaah! Gru covered his mouth to stop himself from screaming wildly.

 

But Gidan had also fallen into panic just the same.

 

“Wh, wh, what do we do?”

 

“C, calm down! Ahem, stay calm.”

 

Gidan, who had turned pale, gathered his words.

 

“Y, yes!”

 

But the one who was least calm was Gidan himself.

 

“Nayeon noona? With hyung? But they’re… family, aren’t they? They’re Hyeonak, aren’t they?”

 

Gru’s cheeks also turned bright red in the end.

 

Nayeon unnie might become mom!

 

‘I feel like my heart’s going to burst!’

 

Gru clutched his chest and staggered.

 

‘I need to go to Sergey oppa!’

 

Before even getting to Sergey, he had encountered a huge obstacle!

 

It was when the two people were flailing like live fish, unable to contain their excitement.

 

Gru, who had been staggering, bumped into someone.

 

“S-sorry!”

 

The expressionless woman looked at Gru intently.

 

Gru also stared blankly at her jet-black pupils where the iris and pupil were indistinguishable.

 

So black. How fascinating.

 

She eventually answered dryly.

 

“It’s fine.”

 

Gru smiled brightly at her. What a kind person!

 

Upon seeing that smile, a slight blush seemed to bloom on her pale face before quickly sinking back into gloom.

 

“….”

 

For some reason, after hesitating briefly, she poked Gru’s chubby cheek.

 

“…!”

 

So cold!

 

A chilling coldness that sent shivers down one’s spine.

 

When Gru shuddered and trembled, she hastily pulled her hand back in surprise.

 

In the meantime, Gidan had already stepped in front of Gru and spoke sharply.

 

“It’s troublesome if you carelessly touch the child, miss.”

 

“Ah… ah.”

 

She lowered her eyes.

 

Though no particular emotion was evident, one could sense a very faint hint of confusion.

 

“I’m sorry….”

 

Contrary to her cold expression, she seemed at a loss and soon bowed deeply in apology.

 

Though fluent, her pronunciation carried the distinctive accent of a foreigner.

 

‘A foreigner?’

 

From her appearance, she seemed to be from one of the countries near Korea.

 

“Gru, let me see your face.”

 

“Hm? I’m perfectly fine though….”

 

When Gidan checked Gru’s cheek despite his protests, she clenched the fist that had touched Gru’s cheek and turned away abruptly.

 

Gru clasped his hands together and stared intently at her retreating figure.

 

She had a cold, rigid face, and her hands were indeed very cold.

 

But she wasn’t a dangerous person.

 

‘Because….’

 

Ding!

 

[Potential caregiver detected. Caregiver registration is possible if attachment level is increased.]

 

This message appeared!

 

‘Hmm, it’s been a while since I’ve seen this….’

 

Gru stroked his chin while looking at the popup window. He hadn’t seen caregiver registration messages at all lately.

 

That was only natural, since there aren’t many S-Ranks….

 

‘Hot!’

 

No, then.

 

‘That unnie, S-Rank…?!’

 

“Are you really okay?”

 

Gidan looked at Han Gru, who was alternating between hardening his expression and looking surprised, and asked worriedly again.

 

“Ung ung! Gru is fine.”

 

This isn’t the time for this.

 

I almost lost focus again.

 

“But oppa, Gru is hungry.”

 

“Ah, what do you want to eat?”

 

Gidan unfolded the guide map to check the resort facilities.

 

Since it was such a large ultra-luxury resort, various shops were located throughout.

 

Han Gru pointed to one place on the guide map while hiding a sinister smile and said.

 

“Gru thinks this place looks good!”

Inside the spacious lounge.

 

Sergey, dressed in waiter uniform and carrying a tray, lightly tugged at the bow tie that was choking his neck.

 

A mascot costume, waiter uniform… he even wore contact lenses to hide his distinctive eye color.

 

‘Really doing all sorts of things.’

 

Sergey struggled to suppress his irritation.

 

– This tie is so suffocating.

 

– Sorry, please bear with it a little longer, Sergey.

 

It was Jin Siwon.

 

Sergey furrowed his brows and let out a sigh.

 

Deep down, he knew the mascot costume and bow tie weren’t the real problem.

 

The truth was that these tangled and twisted human relationships were more exhausting.

 

Jin Siwon and even Gidan….

 

When he thought about it, Sergey had only ever created problems, never knowing how to solve them.

 

Since he didn’t know any amicable solutions, he often became more defensive or aggressive instead.

 

In the end, Sergey bristled with thorns again and asked more bluntly.

 

– Why are you answering? Where did Yoon Arin go?

 

– We switched shifts temporarily. What about the target?

 

– Still haven’t seen them.

 

Based on the New Corps’ testimony and with cooperation from Infinity Wave’s CEO Allen Cravis, it had already been three days since the Management Bureau Special Investigation Division came to Jeju Island.

 

It was still quiet, as if no serious transactions had begun yet.

 

The information obtained through the New Corps and Allen was this.

 

The monster trafficking would take place in conjunction with Infinity Wave’s new product launch event.

 

Using the tablets given to participants, they could check the items and make payments, with delivery to follow later.

 

However, this time there was one very large item, and that alone would be brought into Jeju Island.

 

The Special Investigation Division’s goal was to find the monster brought into Jeju Island or identify the tablet handoff scene.

 

This case had to be solved by catching the tail no matter what.

 

Sergey suddenly recalled the photo that Allen had shown to the investigation team.

 

‘Irina.’

 

It was a photo showing Irina together with Infinity Wave’s co-CEO Zachary MacLaren.

 

This smuggling operation was undoubtedly connected to Gnosis.

 

Sergey clenched his fists tightly, struggling to suppress the magical power that threatened to surge.

 

“Hey there, brown hair. Come over here.”

 

A drunk customer?

 

The middle-aged man was arrogantly beckoning Sergey with his index finger.

 

– Sergey… Should I go over there instead?

 

Jin Siwon, who had overheard the situation, asked worriedly.

 

– It’s fine.

 

Sergey replied coldly before approaching the man.

 

“Yes.”

 

Jang Hyeonmin, the representative of the distribution company that handled most of the domestic Silver Herb distribution, looked Sergey up and down while continuously drinking.

 

He had planned to make a tidy profit from this Silver Herb crisis, but perhaps his greed had been excessive.

 

Everything had been ruined because of some strange eccentric called Jjapso or whatever.

 

On top of that, reports came out that the distribution company had deliberately withheld Silver Herb, causing public sentiment to boil over, and political parties were even proposing regulatory bills to win votes.

 

No matter how much lobbying he did, at this rate it would be nothing but a downhill path.

 

In the end, seeking a way out, he had deliberately shown his face at this uninvited event.

 

But didn’t everyone show troubled expressions and avoid him the moment they saw him?

 

Infuriated by this, he had been drinking in anger.

 

‘Damn it!’

 

He gripped his glass so tightly that veins stood out on the back of his hand as he stared at the waiter.

 

Looking at the pretty face of the boy with neatly combed brown hair, anger welled up in him again for no reason.

 

‘This guy and that guy, all they have are smooth, shiny faces.’

 

Jang Hyeonmin gritted his teeth.

 

Everyone was busy praising Hyeonak here and there, and because of his handsome appearance, photos and videos of him appeared constantly in various media, making it impossible to avoid even when trying deliberately.

 

Jang Hyeonmin roughly grabbed a champagne glass from the tray Sergey offered and took a sip.

 

Then he poured the rest of the alcohol over Sergey’s head.

 

“Hey, did you bring this calling it alcohol?”
