A Civil Servant Who Hides His Strength Is Exceptionally Good at Possession – Episode 126
I stared at Lee Yu-gyeom’s flushed chest and shifted into cowering mode.
“I’m… I’m sorry…”
“You know that if an athlete hits a civilian, it’s attempted murder.”
“…”
“You know that if you hit someone wearing glasses, it’s attempted murder.”
“But you didn’t hit my face? And to call it hitting…”
I turned my head away, looking at Lee Yu-gyeom’s stretched-out t-shirt.
“When a hunter from an athletic background hits someone wearing glasses, you have to assume there was intent to kill.”
“I’m… I’m terribly sorry…”
—or rather!
“Wait a minute! You said you weren’t going to cram school! What’s this about cram school?”
I suddenly pointed at Lee Yu-gyeom’s phone.
Kang Min-joo clearly said in her DM that she met Lee Yu-gyeom at cram school, right?
“That… that is…”
At those words, Lee Yu-gyeom’s pupils wavered unsteadily.
“You’re going to cram school behind my back? With what money? I told you I’d raise your allowance, but you said you didn’t want it last time.”
“It’s just… well…”
Lee Yu-gyeom bit his lip.
Tsk.
Seeing that, I clenched my fists tightly.
“Are you… doing something bad?”
My sister was working so hard catching bad guys, and my younger sibling was…?
Before my angry gaze, Lee Yu-gyeom shook his head.
“I wouldn’t do that.”
“…”
Right.
There’s no way Lee Yu-gyeom would do something like that.
He was someone even that insufferable Kang Won-yeon cherished.
“I’ve been doing some part-time work. That’s why I use SNS too.”
“What kind of part-time work requires SNS?”
I looked at Lee Yu-gyeom with suspicious eyes. Could it be something like voice phishing…?
“SNS management and customer service for the Hatsune Dalnim Workshop.”
“Huh?”
The surprisingly grand job title caught me off guard for a moment.
“Kang Il-yeon can’t do that sort of thing at all, so I offered to help out.”
“That’s… well, that’s possible. But do you have time for that? You need to study too.”
“Just a few days a week.”
“A few days a week—how much money could that possibly be…”
Well, customer service isn’t really anything that grand anyway—
“120 a month.”
“…?”
Does that even make sense?
“The hourly wage is 30,000 won.”
“You bastard!”
I grabbed Lee Yu-gyeom’s stretched-out t-shirt, this time with somewhat less force.
“You’re ripping off Il-yeon, aren’t you? You can’t do that!”
Those twins were actually pretty dangerous villains in the original work.
If they turn evil again, are you going to take responsibility for it?
“Ugh, seriously! Let go of this! At first I thought the same way! But once I got into it, it became fun, and after I saw the CS and made an SNS account, my followers increased and sales went up too, so it’s worth the money in its own way.”
Lee Yu-gyeom said this while showing me his phone.
There was an SNS account displayed on it.
@sun_moon_masterpiece
120,000 followers
What?
That’s a ton of followers.
Even for someone like me who doesn’t know much about SNS, 120,000 seemed like a sufficiently high number.
Plus, it didn’t seem like much time had passed since starting the part-time job, yet this many followers?
“What have you been doing….”
I unconsciously scrolled down and clamped my mouth shut.
‘Ha….’
Of course.
At the center of this viral trend was my video.
My videos sporting various Hatsune Dalnim items.
A video of me hanging various sun and moon items.
Some of them probably weren’t directly used by me but were items from the Hensuguk supplies, and they were selling downgraded versions at the Hatsune Dalnim Workshop.
There was even a link to a site where you could purchase them directly.
‘While I was busy and couldn’t check, money was piling up….’
“What about my portrait rights?”
I asked while flaring my nostrils, and Lee Yu-gyeom shrugged.
“Family privilege.”
“Hey.”
“And you’re getting a share of the workshop profits anyway. Isn’t that enough?”
“Well, I suppose….”
No, if I’m already making this much money, why am I working a part-time job here without taking my own money?
I was puzzled, but I understood the reason.
‘Don’t try to take responsibility for me.’
It was what Lee Yu-gyeom had said the day before I enrolled in the boarding school.
‘We know. Responsibility is something we can’t bear for a lifetime anyway.’
After that, Lee Yu-gyeom truly never properly relied on me for anything.
‘Somewhat… disappointing.’
Yet on the other hand, I’m impressed?
This guy has talent for marketing, doesn’t he?
“Shouldn’t you be asking for more money?”
“Actually, they already brought up incentives, but I’m planning to negotiate that later.”
As expected, he’s smarter than me.
This isn’t the time to feel disappointed.
I thought that to myself and turned my mind back to the problem.
Kang Tae-seon had made contact with Officer Oh.
Officer Oh was said to be on Choi Jun-gu’s side, so did that mean Choi Jun-gu and Kang Tae-seon were scheming something together?
But in the original story, it was the Han-seong Guild Master who was indicted.
The Han-seong Guild Master was also responsible for the Jeong-an City incident.
Bribery allegations between the Hunter Association and Han-seong Guild were also confirmed.
‘Then what’s this?’
They received money from Han-seong Guild without going through Choi Se-a, and the Vice Guild Master and Officer Oh are also making separate contact?
But the Guild Master and Vice Guild Master have terrible relations.
‘This is definitely a double deal.’
I need to look into this.
And when dealing with such a difficult problem, I should—

* * *
“Aunt!”
A man in a flashy leather jacket with sunglasses perched over his ball cap embraced Choi Se-a with a bright smile.
It was Choi Woo-jin.
Choi Woo-jin had come to the Hunter Association immediately on Monday, the day after the weekend ended.
“Woo-jin, you’ve grown so much. You’ve become much more handsome.”
The two of them, who looked more like an older sister and younger brother than an aunt and nephew, touched shoulders as if delighted, but it never developed into an embrace.
‘Those fake people…’
I watched this while standing by outside the Director’s office as the headquarters staff shuffled about.
Officer Oh and Team Leader Kang were there, of course, and there was a reason Pee So-won was waiting too.
‘Choi Woo-jin’s here! Everyone to your positions!’
Following the Team Leader’s instructions, all headquarters personnel had to ‘receive’ Choi Woo-jin from the lobby.
They opened car doors for him, didn’t press elevator buttons themselves, prepared tea of various kinds, and procured desserts—they’d been working hard since morning.
‘So this is what it feels like to go cheer at the owner’s youngest daughter’s sports day.’
Ugh.
Of course, it was me who contacted Choi Woo-jin.
‘While you’re looking into Team Leader Kang, could you also look into Officer Oh?’
[Officer Oh?]
‘I’m going to send you a photo. Take a look at it.’
And after seeing the photo I sent, Choi Woo-jin understood immediately.
[Officer Oh made contact with Kang Tae-seon? There’s a high probability he bypassed Team Leader Kang.]
And immediately after that, this happened.
“Aha, but our nephew has been so busy working at the Hunter Management Office these days.”
“That’s right. I got tired of just lounging around at home, so I asked Grandfather for a position, but it’s busier than I expected and it’s annoying. Should I just quit?”
Choi Woo-jin sat in the one-million-won chair we’d prepared since morning and chuckled with amusement.
I went all the way to Cheongdam-dong to buy those British tea bags you’re drinking right now, you bastard.
I clenched my mouth shut, thinking that if I could go back to when I first met Choi Woo-jin in the dungeon, I would definitely want to kick him twice.
‘I’ve already hit him once, so this time it’ll be twice.’
It was while I was thinking that.
“That won’t work. You know. Once our chairman does something, it can’t be undone.”
Choi Se-a said coldly.
To those words, Choi Woo-jin responded while maintaining a subtle smile.
“I know. That’s why I’m running around like this.”
He spoke with a slightly joking tone.
“You’re not coming in today?”
“Oh, right. I am coming in today. The Hunter Management Office asked me to come for some kind of audit? I volunteered to come. And I wanted to see my aunt too. Did I do well?”
Damn it.
Why are they conducting collusion so openly like this!
The Hunter Management Office, which should be monitoring the Hunter Association, is sending the association chairman’s grandson as an auditor?
But this was undoubtedly all orchestrated by Choi Woo-jin behind the scenes.
“So I need to look at a few documents….”
As Choi Woo-jin said that, he looked sequentially at the employees standing in a row, then pointed to one location as if he were shopping.
“Hey, you there. Could you help me out?”
And that was me.
Why?
Shouldn’t he have pointed to Officer Oh or Team Leader Kang!
