Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 81

Even if Chairman On Suhyung was a reasonable person you could talk to, On Jurim was someone who lived in his own world. The kind of guy who was scary because you never knew how he’d react.

Hunter Association President Ahn Sunyoung bit her lips as she thought of Jurim.

She remembered how she had burst into laughter not long ago when she heard the rumor that Gu Shinhu, who had been cunningly acting up while reading the room, had misspoken in front of Jurim’s adopted daughter and been humiliated by the On father and son.

Though rumors are just rumors…

‘On Jurim is also staying quiet…’

Contrary to her worries, he wasn’t present. Maybe he actually wasn’t that interested in the daughter he adopted?

In fact, she couldn’t even imagine On Jurim raising a child with tender care. That’s probably why On Suhyung stepped forward himself.

Thinking that way made her feel a bit more at ease. If you had to choose between dealing with a scary guy or a crazy guy, you should choose the scary one.

“Chairman On, I’m truly sorry, but if you could just agree to a settlement, we’ll show sufficient sincerity.”

The lawyer Ahn Sunyoung hired wrote an amount on paper and showed it. She nodded her head.

Then the lawyer pushed the paper to Han Gru’s lawyer.

After the lawyer confirmed the amount and handed it to On Suhyung, he returned the paper without even looking at it.

“I don’t know how many more times I have to tell you that my granddaughter doesn’t want a settlement.”

Everyone at the table on the opposite side turned their gazes toward Han Gru.

On Suhyung patted Han Gru’s shoulder encouragingly. At this, Han Gru raised her eyebrows and said bravely.

“Gru won’t settle.”

They said that if she agreed to a settlement, that bad scammer wouldn’t have to be punished.

Then no matter how much money they offered, she wouldn’t do it. She had made up her mind from the moment that scammer met her and said something about a mere 20 million won being pocket change.

Money aside, Han Gru wanted to receive a sincere apology.

‘Gru worked so hard to earn that…’

When they asked how much she could pay as a commission fee, she emptied out all the Onion Coins she had saved up bit by bit. That’s how it came to 20 million won in total.

It wasn’t the 2 billion won she had earned as windfall money at the auction house.

Han Gru remembered everything about how hard she had worked to save that money.

The feeling of the tricycle pedals through the monitor, the temperature of the dungeons, the humidity inside the bear dolls…

She had run away from difficult customers who demanded discounts while causing trouble, and had been grabbed by the scruff of her neck and shaken while people asked if this was really a doll.

Inside the dark dungeons, dealing with scary adults who spoke in threatening voices wasn’t easy.

But she couldn’t give up.

So that someday she could tell her mom and dad to live together, Han Gru was always working hard.

To steal that away and then say it was pocket change, or that they could just give her more, was not right.

Even bowing their heads in apology wouldn’t be enough!

‘Bad villain!’

As she was getting angrier and angrier, the slick-looking opposing lawyer smiled slyly.

“Miss Han Gru, if you look at this, it’s more money than what you were scammed out of. The Association President considered how hurt Miss Han Gru’s feelings were and included a generous amount, so won’t this make you feel better?”

As he tried to hand Han Gru the paper with the amount written on it, On Suhyung blocked his hand.

“It would be better if you didn’t speak directly to my granddaughter while waving pocket change at her.”

“Ah, my apologies, Chairman On.”

Pocket change, he says… This won’t be easy.

The lawyer bowed his head slightly and gave Ham Honggi a meaningful look.

Then Ham Honggi took out a card from his wallet and handed it over.

What’s that? Gru’s eyes widened as he looked at the somewhat familiar card.

The lawyer placed the Hunter License Card he had received on the desk and pushed it forward.

“As you can see, Mr. Ham Honggi is a B-rank Awakened and belongs to Brom Guild.”

Han Gang’s lawyer whispered to On Suhyung and Gru.

“Mr. Ham Honggi’s sister-in-law is Ms. Cheon Gyuri.”

Cheon Gyuri, ranked 2nd among hunters. She was the guild leader of Brom, one of the Three Major Guilds, and also the daughter-in-law of the Hunter Association president.

The opposing lawyer continued speaking.

“Since Mr. Ham Honggi is an Awakened, he falls under the Special Law for Awakened. So if we deposit settlement money and complete community service hours, this level of minor offense won’t even result in a fine. We have plenty of methods we can use on our side, but instead we’re showing our best sincerity.”

On Suhyung looked at our lawyer, asking if what they said was true.

She checked the Hunter License Card and whispered quietly.

“The Special Law for Awakened is established quite favorably for Awakened individuals. If you’re Awakened, there are more diverse mitigating factors than for ordinary people…”

Only Awakened could enter dungeons.

The establishment of special laws due to their unique status was the result of careful consideration of what to give them and what to take from them.

There was something backing up that arrogant attitude.

And that wasn’t the only reason for that insolent attitude.

“And Mr. Ham Honggi’s father is Assemblyman Ham Jinpyeong. That family is also from the legal circle. Assemblyman Ham Jinpyeong is also a former judge.”

It meant their connections were so extensive that going all the way would only cause headaches. There was a high possibility that Ham Jinpyeong’s friends would settle things amicably.

The lawyer who had been voicing pessimistic prospects hurriedly continued speaking to the two with hardened expressions.

“Still, if you entrust this to me, I can get more settlement money. Since the other party is dealing with Doan and has family reputation to consider, they won’t want to be tied up for long.”

That must be why they had requested through various channels to arrange this settlement meeting.

That family also didn’t want to make their relationship with the On Family turn for the worst.

Under normal circumstances, even if it were an unreasonable demand, there was a high possibility they would just accept it to settle things without losing face.

“Then what about an apology?”

At Gru’s question, the lawyer only rolled her eyes to look at Ham Honggi.

Well, she wasn’t sure if getting an apology from someone like that was possible. Let’s try it first, she thought as she straightened her back.

“30% more than the amount you proposed. And we’d like to receive an apology from Mr. Ham Honggi as well.”

Ahn Sunyoung poked Ham Honggi in the ribs.

“Ham Honggi, I’ll unfreeze your card, so apologize.”

“Really? Really? You promised. The lawyer heard it too, right? That you’ll unfreeze the card? Mom, the lawyer heard everything. You can’t back out of this. You know that, right?”

His lawyer bit her lips with a dizzy expression. Ahn Sunyoung was equally bewildered.

Regardless, Ham Honggi said with a big grin.

“Hey, kid. Sorry about that~ Consider it part of your social experience.”

“…?!”

Everyone in the room turned shocked gazes toward Ham Honggi.

Gru felt like someone was tapping his head with a spoon, making it ring.

But even under those stares, Ham Honggi’s babbling mouth wouldn’t shut.

“Who would easily believe such words and give 2,000? You’re at fault too. You shouldn’t trust people so easily, right?”

Gru opened his mouth and trembled with his shoulders. Even kindergarteners wouldn’t apologize like that.

Hiss. His breathing became rough. His two small fists trembled violently.

Han Gru opened his large eyes into half-moon shapes and glared fiercely at Ham Honggi.

“Apologize again. That was fake.”

“Hey, I said I was sorry. Once my card gets unfrozen, I might even give you more money. That’s better for you too, right?”

“I don’t like it at all!”

“You’ll understand when you live a bit longer. You have to take money when someone offers it, okay? My apology? I’ll convert it and give it to you. In a capitalist society, everything is expressed through money. That’s why settlement systems exist, right? Isn’t that right, lawyer? Agree?”

Why are you suddenly turning your gun on me? His lawyer’s mind was in chaos.

“I won’t settle!”

Every word that bastard spoke was a bomb. Ahn Sunyoung quickly opened her mouth.

“Was it Han Gru? Little Gru, he may not look like it, but deep down he’s really sorry. It’s just that his way of speaking is rough.”

Sorry? Even if Guild Master, who skipped kindergarten, apologized, it would have more sincerity than that.

He absolutely couldn’t stand it anymore.

Han Gru opened the zipper of the bag he was carrying.
