Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 70

At that, Gu Shinhu lowered his head and snickered.

“Stop acting like a hunting dog. Don’t cry when you get abandoned.”

Then he continued coldly.

“Jurim is really good at abandoning people, isn’t he? That’s how he survived in the Tower too.”

Everyone from Hyeonak was struck speechless by the sudden surge of anger. From somewhere, a sharp voice was heard.

“4th place mister, don’t say bad things about Guild Leader.”

At Han Gru’s scolding, Gu Shinhu’s jaw tensed, and Huiyeon opened her mouth. Someone finally couldn’t hold back their laughter.

Jongwon poked the side of his team member Son Jaeha, who had burst into giggles.

Gu Shinhu turned toward where the sound came from with a hardened face.

A child as pretty as a sculpted doll was glaring at him with an angry face. The way he stared with those big eyes wasn’t scary or unpleasant at all, just cute.

“So you’re Han Gru? The kid Jurim brought.”

Instantly, Hyeonak’s team members surrounded Han Gru protectively.

“Hey! You should call our dad Guild Master!”

“What’s with this atmosphere? Anyone would think I’m about to harm a child.”

Gu Huiyeon snapped back, and Gu Shinhu laughed as if incredulous.

“And bad things? I’m just stating facts. You probably don’t know much, do you?”

“Han Gru knows everything too.”

“Really? Then you must know that Jurim left his brother in the Tower and came down alone? You know that? That’s what you call doing something bad. I wasn’t saying bad things.”

“Ah, you’re crossing the line.”

“What are you saying to a child, Guild Master Gu?”

Gidan and Son Jaeha stepped forward.

“What, did I say something wrong? Doesn’t Hyeonak have hierarchy? You’ve been coming at me since earlier. We’re in the same industry, so you should maintain basic respect. The more you act like this, the more you tarnish Hyeonak’s reputation. Know your place.”

Jongwon gestured to his team members to stop and said.

“Let’s stop this, Guild Master Gu.”

“Stop what, talking badly about Jurim?”

Han Gru took a deep breath in anger. Heat rose to his face and it turned bright red.

Guild Master was a hero.

Not only had he lost his family, but he had to live with mana leakage while carrying something terrifyingly powerful beyond his capacity in his left hand.

Just because he survived didn’t mean his achievements could be diminished. That wasn’t right.

‘Guild Master risked his life to protect the world.’

For a world where even people like these could survive!

That’s when it happened.

“You mention my son at the end of every sentence, and it’s utterly unpleasant.”

Icy words fell from behind.

It was On Suhyeong.

On Suhyeong took Han Gru from Gidan and gently lifted him up.

Spotting him, Gu Shinhu flinched and quickly bent at the waist in greeting.

“Ah, hello. Chairman On Suhyeong. I’m Gu Shinhu from NAG.”

“I’ve heard a lot about you from Representative Kim.”

When he mentioned Gu Shinhu’s father-in-law, the man shut his mouth like a clam.

He was well aware of how much effort his in-laws were putting in to secure investment from the Doan Group.

“I didn’t know the son-in-law they bragged about so much would be such a scoundrel who brings up other people’s sons.”

“No, that’s not it. You’re misunderstanding. I meant it with good intentions…”

“Good intentions?”

Blazing blue fury flashed in On Suhyeong’s eyes.

“Good intentions are what my son showed when he risked his life climbing the Tower to protect your family. Not what’s contained in your scheming tongue that disparages my son in front of my granddaughter!”

Gu Shinhu squeezed his eyes shut at the sharp rebuke.

How did things end up like this?

On Suhyeong had never stepped forward to defend Jurim like this before.

Jurim was usually good at letting gossip slide off him, and On Suhyeong was also the type to spare his words, so situations rarely got bad because of stories about Jurim.

Moreover, there were even rumors going around that On Suhyeong and On Jurim had cut ties.

But why now?

‘Granddaughter, he said. Is it because of that little girl?’

He couldn’t bear to see his son humiliated in front of his granddaughter? Even though that child wasn’t even blood-related to him.

Not only Gu Shinhu, but Hyeonak’s strategy team also had bewildered expressions.

It was natural since everyone knew about the relationship between On Suhyeong and On Jurim.

On Suhyeong glanced at Gu Huiyeon, who was shrinking back, then said quietly.

“Your father-in-law must be waiting, so how about you get going?”

It meant he didn’t want to humiliate him further in front of the child.

“I’ll take my leave for today. If there’s an opportunity, I’ll greet you again and explain today’s incident in detail.”

“That’s enough, so get going. And don’t think about showing your face in front of my granddaughter again.”

“I’m truly sorry about today, Chairman. I also committed a great discourtesy to your granddaughter.”

Gu Shinhu repeatedly bowed his waist and tucked his tail between his legs.

However, On Suhyeong only comforted Gru with a cold expression.

“Gru, don’t mind what that fool said. He’s jealous and can only muddy the waters.”

“Bad fool.”

“That’s right. A bad fool indeed.”

Gu Shinhu gritted his teeth at the grandfather and granddaughter’s banter. After groveling, he soon left his spot while glancing at Gidan and Hyeonak’s team.

“Dana, let’s continue our conversation next time.”

“Me?”

When Gidan laughed out loud as if to say ‘Why me?’, Gu Shinhu whispered as he passed by.

“Ah, right. While Hyeonak is dawdling like that, we’re taking Jjapso.”

Cough! Gidan covered his mouth while coughing at the unexpected appearance of that name.

Gidan was well aware of the recent rumors about the production-type hunter who had appeared like a comet.

The quality was so good that they even created a new intermediate grade called ‘excellent’…

Because the level had improved dramatically compared to when they were active on Onion Market, gossip about who Jjapso really was had been circulating among guilds lately.

There were theories that someone with that level of skill had to be an alt character of a top-ranked production-type player, but the problem was that their identity was completely unknown.

By the time they reached the conclusion that he was a ‘reclusive genius,’ the guilds began searching for Jjapso in earnest.

And Gidan knew. Those adorable Bear Syrup Bottle Potions were Han Gru’s signature.

“Hmm, it seems like Guild Master has some idea where Jjapso might be?”

“That’s no comment. Just don’t be surprised.”

He doesn’t seem to know it’s Han Gru. Maybe he found some knockoff somewhere.

Gidan felt a bit relieved as he muttered.

“Ah… I’m not confident I won’t be surprised.”

Gidan looked at Han Gru while desperately holding back his laughter.

“Anyway, good luck.”

“You’re such a cheeky bastard.”

“Such praise again…”

Gidan smiled mischievously.

Meanwhile, at that moment.

Nao Hyung, who had been swinging his legs, looked toward the back.

“Another commotion.”

The auction should continue.

How long had it been since they beat down those idiots who tried to cancel the auction earlier, and now it was getting restless and noisy again.

It was fortunate that Sergey had planted mannequins. Otherwise, they might have had to just sit there helplessly watching the auction get canceled.

“Take a look over there. Huh?”

Nao Hyung pointed toward the back with his thumb.

However, the guy who had planted the mannequins didn’t take his eyes off his mobile phone and only answered indifferently.

“It won’t get canceled. Just an argument.”

“Damn it. They should just sit quietly and wait for the auction. What are they doing making us worry?”

The guys gathered there were obviously hunters. High-ranking ones at that.

It was incomparably more dangerous than those idiots from earlier.

Most Awakened are belligerent types. Even those who aren’t become that way because of their power.

He worried it might escalate into a big fight and trembled his legs nervously.

Unlike the anxious Nao Hyung, Sergey, who was calmly playing a game on his mobile phone, said indifferently.

“It’s because it’s full of trash. There’s a Korean saying: ‘When 5 people gather, one is trash.'”

“What kind of Korean saying is that? I’ve never heard it before. Stop playing that game. You only learn weird things from it. Huh?”

[“Yes, next trash.”]

Sergey blew gum bubbles while continuing his game.

It wasn’t his usual game with disgusting characters, but a Korean word game.
