Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 82

At that moment, On Suhyeong firmly grasped Gru’s hand and stood up from his seat.

Screech- As the chair was pushed back, everyone looked at On Suhyeong.

He simply spoke affectionately to his granddaughter with an expressionless face.

“Gru, let’s get up now. If we listen any longer, we’ll only waste our ears.”

“Chairman On, if you leave like this here…”

Gru stood side by side holding hands with On Suhyeong and spoke with a terrifying expression.

“Gru doesn’t get along with bad guys who can’t even apologize.”

“That’s right, do whatever you want.”

Having said that, On Suhyeong raised his voice as if for everyone to hear.

“I hear that Assemblyman Ham Jinpyeong is waiting for contact from above.”

Among the puzzled people, Ahn Sunyoung’s shoulders flinched.

On Suhyeong curved his lips diagonally into a barely visible smile.

“Being in this position, you hear things.”

“Chairman On. My heart isn’t at ease because of my worthless son. Please show mercy just once and let this pass quietly.”

“I don’t want to make a big deal out of this either.”

They could fight if they wanted to, but if things got big, it would be Gru who’d become the talk of the town.

“Then, then…”

On Suhyeong turned around and spoke coldly.

“Ham Honggi? You’re going to do that community service as an Awakened, right? I’ll be watching to see how well you do. You’d better show proper sincerity.”

He wouldn’t make a big fuss about it.

But it was a declaration of war that he would desperately find fault and see it through to the end.

* * *

“Hey, Gyuri, what should we do about this?”

Cheon Gyuri looked at her mother-in-law who was leaning against the sofa and gulping down ice water.

When her daughter-in-law’s reaction was lukewarm, Ahn Sunyoung even let out a groan.

However, for Cheon Gyuri, all she could say was ‘That bastard, I knew he would do that.’ Raising him so protectively and indulgently, there was no way he’d grow up properly…

“At this rate, your father-in-law’s ministerial position is going to fly away. We can’t let that happen.”

“That’s right…”

Ham Jinpyeong was currently being mentioned as a candidate for Minister of Justice.

In such a situation, the ministerial candidate’s son scammed Chairman On Suhyeong’s granddaughter and On Jurim’s daughter?

It was such a delicious scandal that it was irresistible.

Actually, that wasn’t the only problem.

If they dug deeper into the story and it came out that ‘Actually, Ham Honggi needed money to buy drugs,’ it would really be the end.

“They say a few dungeon runs would make him a lawyer in no time. Can’t you take some guild members and go around with him? Chairman On is eagerly waiting to pounce, so make it A-rank or higher so he can’t find fault. Looking at that man, it seems like he’d only be satisfied if our Honggi lost an arm or something in the dungeon, but that can’t happen. What kind of son is Honggi…”

A-rank or higher… Cheon Gyuri let out a sigh.

Even though he was a B-rank Awakened, taking such a burden who would just whine the moment they entered a dungeon to such a place would be unfair to the guild members.

“But, Mother. This is something Guild Master On Jurim doesn’t know about, right?”

Actually, taking the burden to an A-rank dungeon wasn’t the problem.

The problem was that the moment On Jurim found out, there might not be any dungeons left to enter…

Hyeonak’s notorious reputation for crossing lines didn’t come from nothing.

Usually guilds maintain business-friendly relationships with each other, so they don’t fight over trivial matters, but when it comes to their main business, the situation becomes a bit different.

This was about a certain guild that had trouble with Hyeonak’s newcomers over dungeon strategy issues.

When Hyeonak heard the story, they followed that guild’s strategies everywhere and devastated them like thugs, then sent all the byproducts from the dungeons directly to that guild by delivery.

Actually, these kinds of problems usually centered around disputes over byproduct ownership, so they ended it with a preemptive delivery strike.

Hyeonak’s intention was clear.

‘Stuff from your dungeons? Don’t need it. I’ll give it all to you, you take it. But I’ll block your growth instead.’

Even when the Management Bureau tried to mediate the dispute, they just shrugged saying, ‘It seemed difficult for those people to strategize, so we helped them out a bit. That’s why we handed over all the byproducts too.’

Since this kind of mediation usually ended with all byproducts being handed over to the victim guild, they could curse them as bastards but had no other alternative.

Not long after, one guild completely dissolved.

There was also this incident with another certain guild.

It was a large guild that mainly focused on attacking Fire Dungeons, and Hyeonak hoarded that guild’s essential items.

They threatened suppliers to cut off deals and outbid all the remaining market items.

It was impossible to obtain items directly either, because Hyeonak went around defeating all the dungeons that produced those byproducts.

This time, even the Association’s dispute mediation was difficult.

I’m buying with my own money. I’m clearing my own dungeons. Telling them not to buy items or not to clear those dungeons was clearly overstepping authority.

The famous ghost story was that Gidan tried to sell items he had outbid to that guild in front of the Fire Dungeon.

He supposedly offered prices about 100 times the market rate, or spilled them on the ground saying ‘don’t buy if you don’t want to’…

In the end, that guild’s guild master came forward, bowed his head apologetically, and declared surrender. It was nothing short of utter humiliation.

Like this, all kinds of powerful bastards were gathered in Hyeonak, and while On Jurim got beaten up as their representative, his natural disposition kept him always calm, serving as a reliable tanker role.

It was essentially nurturing disguised as neglect.

Hyeonak had a large share in Korea’s major guilds shrinking from the once-called Big 5 Guilds to the Three Major Guilds.

Whatever the beginning was, those bastards acted like thugs making life miserable…

Though On Jurim had never taken the lead before, if Hyeonak were just bastards, then he was the king of bastards. He would obviously try to torment them to death somehow.

“Well. Guild Master On hasn’t contacted us or shown himself. Since the kid is adopted, there might be no affection.”

“But Gu Shinhu said it wasn’t like that…”

“When does that kid ever tell the truth?”

“Still, Gu Shinhu has an amazing sense for knowing where he can stretch his legs.”

Being an opportunist, he was good at pretending to be friendly everywhere and quick to sense which side to align with.

He mentioned On Jurim and Hyeonak because it served as marketing that his guild NAG was equal to Hyeonak, especially since On Jurim himself didn’t particularly care.

He would definitely have a better grasp of the situation than the Association President who was blinded by supporting her second son and husband.

That’s when it happened. Both their mobile phones rang loudly.

Emergency alerts for disaster messages. And urgent contacts from guild members and Association staff.

The two people who checked the notifications made eye contact.

“Mother. Hong Giyo, let’s just send him here.”

“Still, this is…”

“You know that dungeon grades aren’t determined by their danger level.”

Dungeon grades were classified based on what kind of impact they could have on reality if a dungeon break occurred. And this dungeon’s danger level had some aspects that were a bit different from other dungeons.

“This place might actually be better. I’m going too. And wouldn’t it be good for that kid to start pulling his own weight and mature a bit? If we leave him alone, this won’t end with just this incident.”

Would the troublesome matters really end with just this time? Cheon Gyuri’s words weren’t wrong.

The Association Chairman, who had been pondering while recalling the endlessly chattering mouth at the law firm, let out a groan and nodded his head slightly.

On Suhyung

Are you feeling okay?

(Squirrel sending a heart emoticon)

I’m fine!

(Squirrel shooting a heart arrow emoticon)

The Chairman had almost no change in expression, spoke little, and looked scary due to his large build, but he was actually a kind person who carefully looked after others’ feelings with delicate attention.

Feeling warmth from the worried message, Gru sniffled through his nose.

Gru scrolled down on his mobile phone screen and opened his chat window with Jurim.

When is Guild Master coming?

On Jurim

Go to sleep first today

Should I buy that strawberry whatever?

Strawberry Creamy Sweet Fairy Blast Bomb Light Fuse Candy

On Jurim

Yeah that one
