Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 71

“A young brat keeps using fancy words… Better to die than suffer. That’s a Korean proverb.”

The guy who remained calm alone was irritating. He probably thinks he belongs among those monsters.

Even without using any power, he always makes me feel this difference in class. Miserably.

‘But you know what. No matter how much of a monster you are, there’s something you missed, you bastard.’

There were over 100 Mannequins planted in the resort. This meant it would be difficult for Sergey to check all the Mannequins.

Nao Hyung took advantage of this gap to plant his eye in one of the Mannequins.

He couldn’t control it completely and could only place suggestions to make it obey his words, but that was enough.

Seeing how he was casually playing games, it seemed he hadn’t noticed yet.

‘I wonder if he knows that it’s darkest under the lamp.’

If he could seize a decent item when the opportunity arose, it would be a profitable deal.

He had prepared the Mannequin to scout for high-grade items.

Whether it was auction goods or items from one of those many hunters. Anything was fine as long as it could add to his power.

‘I’m going to kill him. That blonde bastard.’

He couldn’t forget that expression like he was catching a mouse. Had there ever been such a humiliating moment since his Re-awakening?

‘I need to show that bastard a lesson someday too.’

If today’s work went well, he might be able to teach this young brat some adult discipline too.

Just then, one of the Mannequins stopped walking next to a noisy group.

It peered around as if checking something in front of a small child, then headed toward a quiet terrace.

Soon the Mannequin’s words came through his earpiece.

– An Unmeasurable Item has been discovered.

Nao Hyung checked the Mannequin’s vision while watching Sergey’s reaction. What the Mannequin had identified was a platinum-haired girl.

* * *

The special lens worn by Sergey’s Mannequin was a Gnosis specialty product made to detect items.

It was just moments ago that something strange caught his vision.

If it was a high-grade item, it would be where the high-ranking hunters gathered, so he had moved toward where Magical Power was concentrated.

In his vision, he saw a child being held by an old man.

And ‘it’ was inside the child’s bag.

An item that showed no information on the lens that should have been linked to information about almost all existing items.

Though he couldn’t identify what it was, this was a result worth reporting.

The Mannequin slipped out to the terrace to contact its master.

“An Unmeasurable Item has been discovered.”

And it was while waiting for a reply.

Suddenly, hazy smoke obscured its vision.

“…?”

A man had appeared on the terrace that had definitely been empty.

The man smoked his cigarette with his hands in his pockets. Hah, as he exhaled, cigarette smoke swirled thickly in the air.

IMAGE

With slow and leisurely movements, his tailored suit flowed like water.

Danger signals went off. To him, the man looked like a beast dressed in a suit.

Suddenly, the man let out a quiet laugh. A beauty mark below his coldly sunken black eyes briefly caught his attention.

“You seem startled.”

“Wh-when did you…?”

The man leaning against the terrace railing looked at the tense face and curved his eyes languidly.

“That thing, who is it?”

He tapped his ear, pointing at the in-ear device.

“It wouldn’t be the organizers.”

“…”

“Your answer is slow.”

He took his hand out of his pocket and checked his watch.

The mannequin, seeing the glove on his left hand, bit its lips as it sensed a nightmare approaching.

Its entire body stiffened as if caught by his gaze, unable to move.

The man approached in one step and placed his palm on the mannequin’s head, a cigarette held between his long fingers.

Thud!

The mannequin collapsed to the floor just like that.

Jurim turned the fallen body over with his foot and tilted his head curiously.

No matter how much he searched through the head, it was completely empty inside.

“Hmm…”

A mannequin that looked exactly like a human.

Jurim picked up the earpiece with quite an interested expression. If he couldn’t find traces from the mannequin, he planned to look for the mannequin’s owner connected through the earpiece.

However, there was only silence from beyond the earpiece. It seemed the connection had been cut as soon as the mannequin was destroyed.

When Jurim clenched his fist, the earpiece scattered into dust.

‘An unmeasurable item…’

The last place the mannequin’s gaze had reached. There were Hyeonak’s strategy team and Gru.

Jurim was lost in thought for a moment.

A notification appeared on the watch on his wrist.

[Gidan: Hyung, when are you coming?]

[Gidan: Gru is here too?]

It was a message from Gidan.

He had first received contact from Gidan 2 hours ago.

This resort is strange. No matter how you look at it, there are tons of things that aren’t human crawling around, but the other team members don’t seem to notice.

Normally he would have ignored it, but hearing that even high-ranking rankers couldn’t sense it, Jurim had no choice but to move.

And seeing it directly, he could understand.

With this level of craftsmanship, it’s natural that they wouldn’t be detected.

‘At this level, they’re practically human.’

Even emotions were implemented. Mannequins that acted just like real people.

Gidan and he possessed Super Sense, so they had barely managed to detect the anomaly.

Jurim was watching in stealth, wondering what the mannequins’ purpose might be, and whether they might be targeting Malikian’s Byproducts.

‘But I never expected Gru to come here…’

Jurim curved his lips as he thought of the troublemaker.

She said she was going out to play with a friend, but here she was at the auction house. Not only that, she had come with his father.

As expected of whose daughter she was, she knew exactly how to deal him the most devastating blow.

Jurim took a drag of his cigarette.

Along with the smoke, On Suhyeong’s words defending him to Gu Shinhu disappeared.

He let out a snicker as he thought of the mudskipper.

Jurim’s gaze briefly turned toward On Suhyeong.

On Suhyeong was holding the child’s hand and moving toward the opposite terrace where there were fewer people.

Jurim slowly stepped toward where they were heading.

As he entered the banquet hall, gazes immediately rushed toward him.

“Jurim hyung!”

“Guild Master!”

The strategy team approached first, and the murmuring of those who spotted Jurim grew louder.

Gu Shinhu looked at Jurim with surprised eyes and drew in a breath.

“…Guild Master On Jurim.”

At Gu Shinhu’s call, Jurim smoothly raised his lips and replied in an unprecedentedly gentle voice.

“Yeah, Shinhu.”

Gu Shinhu’s face instantly hardened.

A snicker burst out from the strategy team.

Gu Shinhu approached Jurim closely and spoke through gritted teeth in a whisper.

“Guild Master On, what kind of mannerless behavior is this?”

As he said, there was a 7-year age difference between them. Even if they were close friends (which they weren’t), it was unacceptable rudeness.

Then Jurim also lowered his head and spoke into his ear.

“Shinhu. I don’t care what you say behind my back, but watch your manners in front of my daughter. You wouldn’t want to see me lose my manners in front of your daughter, would you?”

Instead of saying that he was already being plenty rude right now, Gu Shinhu moistened his lips.

It was true that he had crossed the line in a moment of anger. But Jurim’s reaction was quite unexpected.

He’s not usually like this. He had thought bringing the child was unlike Jurim from the start, but more than he expected…

“Are you serious?”

Gu Shinhu asked, meaning whether he had truly grown attached to the adopted child, and Jurim laughed out loud as if he had heard an interesting question.

“That’s right. On Jurim has gone crazy over his daughter? So who knows what I might do because I want to boost my daughter’s spirits. I don’t even know myself very well.”

Jurim warned him as if giving gentle advice, then turned his head to pat Gu Huiyeon’s head. Then he patted the shoulder of Gu Shinhu, whose face was contorting.

“Well then, Shinhu, I’m a bit busy right now, so let’s talk next time.”

Jurim headed toward the terrace where On Suhyeong and Gru had disappeared.
