Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 68

He turned around in surprise, but the boy’s figure had already disappeared from sight.

‘Strange…’

In Korea, excluding Gru, there were a total of 6 S-Rank hunters.

On Jurim, Gidan, Shin Nayeon, Jin Siwon, Gu Shinhu, Cheon Gyuri.

Gru knew five of them, and the remaining one, Cheon Gyuri, was ranked 2nd and was a hunter who frequently appeared on TV.

Then could that older brother be an S-Rank from another country?

‘Like Uncle Jin Siwon?’

Even thinking that, it was still strange.

If someone was S-Rank level, just stepping foot on Korean soil would cause articles and news to pour out from all kinds of media.

Not long ago, there was a commotion about an S-Rank hunter from America visiting Korea and eating Whole Chicken Soup in Myeongdong.

[Alice Cole’s unstoppable love for Whole Chicken Soup… I think I’ll miss Korea because of Whole Chicken Soup!]

For a while, the main photo was Alice Cole smiling brightly in front of a Whole Chicken Soup restaurant.

But since then, he had neither heard nor seen news of any S-Rank visiting Korea.

‘Did they come secretly?’

Is that even possible?

Gru was thinking blankly when he shook his head. This isn’t the time for this! Let’s defeat the villains!

Finally, he opened the door wide.

“Huh?!”

The location was definitely right. But all he could see in front of him were two collapsed men.

When he went further inside to check their faces, they were the villains he had seen from the ventilation duct. The man whose pronunciation was slurred from drinking and the man with some flesh on him.

Then…

‘He stopped Gru from going in and defeated the villains?!’

Whether the boy had called the staff, employees soon began rushing in behind Gru.

The employees checked the collapsed men and screamed while sending radio messages.

“Executive Director Gang!”

“Please call the medical team to the casino. As quickly as possible.”

Gru puffed out his cheeks and glared at the collapsed villains and the employees.

To think his plan failed because of an S-Rank who secretly snuck into Korea.

* * *

‘Failure. Failure. All failures.’

Gru trudged back to the Kids Center.

“Everyone, did you have a fun time at the Kids Center today? It’s unfortunate, but now it’s time to return to the banquet hall. Let’s all move so we’re not late!”

It happened to be time to move to the banquet hall where the auction was being held.

Gru followed behind the escorting staff and entered the large banquet hall.

It was a structure with a stage at the very front of a spacious area with dim lighting, and round tables placed here and there.

Gru was guided to a table with “Doan” written on it.

The attendants who were already seated helped Gru sit down in a chair.

“Did you have fun playing? The Chairman will be here soon.”

“Yes.”

When he looked around to where the attendant pointed, On Suhyung was having a conversation with some elderly men at another table.

Gru nodded his head and turned his gaze to the nearby tables.

‘Hyeonak!’

The table with the name plate “Hyeonak” was also empty.

Seeing that the front tables were mostly empty, it seemed everyone was somewhere else having social gatherings.

‘Since everything failed anyway, it doesn’t matter if I get caught.’

Just as he was pouting his lips like a duck and turning his gaze forward again.

Something small came trotting up to Gru’s side.

“Hey.”

It was that kid who had been eyeing Gru’s sand shovel at the Kids Center.

Gu Huiyeon.

“Huh? Hello.”

“You, you. Why are you sitting in such a front seat?”

Gu Huiyeon put her hands on her hips and narrowed her eyes.

Even children knew that the position of tables was extremely important at events like this.

These front seats weren’t places for a child whose father was unknown.

“Gru doesn’t know either.”

I knew it! She must have just sat down at any random seat.

“You need to go back to your seat!”

Huiyeon threw a tantrum and pulled at Gru.

At this, all the attendants jumped up and stopped Huiyeon.

“Hey, what are you doing?”

“Let go of this. Miss, are you okay?”

“Yes. I’m fine.”

Gru said she was fine while taking the hand of the grinning Huiyeon and standing up.

“Where are you trying to go with Gru?”

Huiyeon grabbed Gru’s wrist and moved backward.

“I don’t know! Anyway, to the back!”

“Eh.”

She had just sat at the table she was guided to, but she couldn’t understand what the complaint was about.

Huiyeon kept pulling at her wrist, and Gru sighed deeply and sent a look to the attendants that she’d be back shortly.

The attendants nodded while standing up awkwardly.

“Where are we going?”

“We need to find your seat. Where are your parents?”

“Huh? I don’t know that either.”

Gru replied glumly.

“You don’t know that either? Then just stay here for now. He’ll come this way anyway.”

In the rear area where Huiyeon had brought Gru, children who seemed to be Huiyeon’s friends—the same ones he had seen at the Kids Center earlier—were standing in a circle.

“Huiyeon, why is he here?”

“He was sitting in the front. It’s not even his seat.”

‘But I was guided to that seat.’

Gru sighed and kept his mouth shut.

There were often kids like this at the kindergarten too. The type who thought they were always right and never listened to what others had to say.

‘I’ll just play along for a bit and then leave.’

Either way, once the auction started, On Suhyung would come looking for him. Gru planned to just go along with them until then.

“What’s your name? Where do you live?”

“Our house is Yeseong Confectionery, so what do your parents do?”

The children surrounded Gru and began asking questions.

Gru stood there blankly and blinked.

“My name is Han Gru and I live in Yuden Village.”

“Ah, that’s a new development, isn’t it? Nice. I want to live in a new apartment too. But my dad keeps saying you have to live in a house to be really rich. How many square meters is your house?”

“Huh? I don’t know that.”

Why do they keep asking about houses and parents? Gru rolled his eyes around.

“I’m asking what your parents do for work!”

Then Huiyeon answered for him.

“He doesn’t know stuff like that.”

“Why doesn’t he know?”

“Why do you think? Because they don’t do anything important, so he doesn’t know.”

Suddenly the children’s gazes turned a bit cold.

“Hmm, I see.”

“Yeah, that could happen.”

Having apparently lost interest in Gru, the children began talking about other topics.

“My dad said that this Malikian was also a really weak monster that he caught by himself.”

Huiyeon brought up stories about hunters she had heard from her dad, lifting the corners of her mouth.

Famous hunters were always popular topics, and Huiyeon, who could talk endlessly about them, often took the lead in gatherings.

Gru felt awkward in the atmosphere and tapped the floor with the tip of his shoe, then stood there like a bean in dog food, just turning his head this way and that.

Huiyeon smiled sweetly and deliberately grabbed Gru’s wrist to prevent him from going anywhere.

‘He doesn’t even know what his parents do, yet he was talking about my dad’s ranking dropping.’

How upset she had been when dad dropped to 4th place!

So Huiyeon decided to be a little spiteful.

Since they were next to NAG’s table, Huiyeon’s dad would come this way soon.

When Gru’s parents came looking for him, she planned to make them face her dad.

She felt like her anger would only be relieved if she could see Gru’s parents bowing and scraping in front of her dad!

“Huiyeon, I think Gru needs to go now. Let go of his hand.”

“Where are you going? There’s still plenty of time left.”

It was while the children were bickering.

Before they knew it, a long shadow had fallen over the two of them.

“Our Gru is asking you to let him go, so couldn’t you let him go?”

“Huh?”

Huiyeon looked up.

When the gorgeously handsome boy smiled with his eyes prettily crinkled, Huiyeon stiffened.

Gidan looked at Gru and bent at the waist.

“Why are you here, stupid Gru.”

Gru puffed out his cheeks sulkily.

“Gru not stupid.”

Gidan smiled mischievously, and behind him, Hyeonak’s Strategy Team approached.
