The Owner of the Healing Therapy Shop is World Rank 0
Chapter 56
Back to the present.
The air in the VIP lounge at Incheon International Airport was particularly cold.
Outside the window, a private jet bearing the WHP logo sat on the runway, and as soon as its doors opened, the barrage of camera flashes resembled the visit of a head of state.
Shortly after, the heavy doors of the VIP lounge opened and a man walked in.
Jang Dohun. A former Korean national representative hunter who currently held the position of regional director overseeing WHP’s Asia branch.
Seo Eunhae, a director of the Korean Hunter Association who stood waiting to greet him, watched him with an expressionless face.
“How long has it been, Eunhae. You’re still as flawless as ever.”
Jang Dohun extended his hand with a business-like smile.
It was a typical social greeting, but there was a strange edge in his voice.
“I heard about Seondonguk. He miraculously regained consciousness? I’m sincerely praying he’ll recover quickly and get back on his feet.”
Eunhae briefly grasped and released his hand without even glancing at his disgusting greeting.
She couldn’t help feeling unpleasant.
Three years ago, during that horrific gate accident when Seondonguk lost consciousness, the person responsible for coordinating WHP’s information and personnel deployment was none other than this Jang Dohun.
There was no physical evidence, but her suspicions ran deep. If that accident had been an elaborate trap to eliminate Seondonguk, then this man was surely the architect.
“I’ll pass on your empty congratulations. Are you here to check things out personally because you’re afraid the truth might be revealed?”
Dohun’s eyebrows twitched at Eunhae’s cold question.
However, like a veteran, he responded without losing his smile.
“Afraid? That’s absurd. I’m simply here to interrogate Hunter Gangjinseong and uncover the truth according to international hunter regulations. Consider it official business.”
“Official business… If you so much as touch a hair on my son’s head in the name of that official business, I won’t let it slide, WHP or not.”
Frost formed in Eunhae’s voice.
As the aura of the former female warrior who once commanded Korea filled the entire VIP lounge with pressure, Dohun snorted and retorted.
“Son? Well, yes. He is your son, isn’t he.”
At that moment, reporters swarmed beyond the glass wall of the VIP lounge.
As if by agreement, both instantly composed their expressions. Then they forced smiles toward the cameras and posed shaking hands.
On the surface it was a harmonious scene of cooperation, but from their clasped hands, crushing magical power silently collided.
After finishing her tiresome encounter with Jang Dohun, Eunhae headed straight to Seondonguk’s hospital room.
Her days began in Seondonguk’s hospital room and ended in his hospital room.
She even brought all the mountain of paperwork she needed to handle as an association director here to resolve.
The moment she opened the hospital room door, Eunhae paused upon discovering a familiar yet unfamiliar figure.
“You’re here?”
It was Shinnara. She sat in the auxiliary chair beside Seondonguk’s bed, leaning her head back in a very impolite posture as she greeted Eunhae.
Sohee was probably the only person who would act so rudely in front of Seo Eunhae, one of the most influential women in Korea.
However, Eunhae secretly liked Sohee’s informal attitude because it felt genuine rather than fake.
“What brings you here, Sohee? From Korea’s busiest enchanter.”
As Eunhae smiled and set down her briefcase, Sohee spun her chair around to face Eunhae directly.
Her eyes lost their playfulness and shone seriously.
“I’ll skip the introduction and get straight to the point. Please use your skill, auntie.”
“Hmm? My skill?”
Eunhae stopped organizing her documents.
She had already retired from being a hunter years ago, and was famous for not using her skills for personal reasons unless it was a national emergency.
Sohee’s sudden request for her to use her skill was bound to be confusing.
“Let me hear your reason. Are you confident you can persuade me?”
To Eunhae’s calm question, Sohee answered with an attractive smile curling her lips.
“That’s super easy.”
Sohee pointed with her chin toward Seondonguk lying with an oxygen respirator.
“I’ll completely wake up the patient, so please just use your skill once.”
In that instant, Eunhae’s pupils shook violently.
The veteran composure and dignity of a great hunter who had made her mark in the hunter world crumbled instantly. She grabbed Sohee’s shoulders with a desperate voice.
“What are you saying? Yebichnna… Yebichnna can come?”
Yebichnna was currently unable to visit the hospital room due to identity restrictions and surveillance from those around her.
Because of this, Eunhae had been suppressing her rising desires.
Sohee grinned and shrugged her shoulders.
“Our master is already ready. It was incompetent us who couldn’t create the situation until now. So, I’ll set the stage and auntie just needs to use your skill. Okay?”
Sohee’s eyes were full of confidence. Eunhae nodded while exhaling a trembling breath.
If she could just wake up her son, she was prepared to abandon the principles she had maintained her entire life as many times as necessary.
“What do I need to do?”
* * *
The hospital lobby was truly chaotic.
Reporters had gathered like clouds after receiving news that Seondonguk might wake up.
Then, the main entrance opened and Jinseong confidently walked in.
“It’s Hunter Gangjinseong!”
“Hunter Gang! Please give us an interview!”
“Please say something about the Alaska Gate conquest!”
As planned, he stopped in the middle of the lobby and held an impromptu press conference.
Countless camera flashes burst toward him and people’s gazes were drawn to him like a black hole. He disappeared into the crowd.
Taking advantage of that gap, I squeezed my body through the spatial rift that Director Seo Eunhae had twisted open for me.
After passing through the hole that had appeared in what was an empty wall, I found myself in front of the elevator leading to the VIP ward.
I didn’t disguise myself as Yebichnna. Because Yebichnna’s appearance had become unexpectedly too famous, I judged that an ordinary appearance would be safer.
Wearing a mask and hat pulled down low, with the hood of my usual clothes pulled up, I quickly moved my feet.
My heart pounded as if I were committing a crime.
When I reached the VVIP ward corridor corner with Sohee’s guidance and escort.
Medical staff were guarding in front of Seondonguk’s hospital room.
As I was just fidgeting about how to get past those people, a familiar and cheeky voice came from behind me.
“What are you doing here? Sohee, huh? You’re here too, sis?”
Startled, I turned around to see a red-haired, model-like man, Ohyeongtaek, standing there.
Sohee grabbed Ohyeongtaek’s collar in shock and quickly hid him behind the corridor.
“Hey! What if we get caught! Can’t you be quiet?”
“What is it, what is it. Are you doing some kind of spy operation? Let me join too.”
Ohyeongtaek’s eyes sparkled like a child who had found an interesting toy. Sohee sighed deeply and poked his chest.
“Can’t you tell by looking? You go distract those doctors over there. We need to get into Seondonguk’s room.”
Ohyeongtaek’s eyebrows drooped.
“Sorry, but my charm only works on women. It doesn’t work on those dark-looking men.”
“Do something before you get hit!”
“No matter how handsome I am, men are a bit much.”
“You talk too much. Just do it when I tell you!”
“I’m telling you it won’t work? Anyway, sis, it’s been a while.”
Ohyeongtaek casually greeted Yebichnna.
Sohee tapped Ohyeongtaek’s lips with her hand and frowned.
“Hurry up and draw their attention. Stop staring at my master.”
As Sohee kicked him away, Ohyeongtaek approached the medical staff with a swaggering gait.
“Hello, doctors?”
As he greeted them while showing off his characteristic flashy aura, their gazes immediately fixed on him.
Not missing that opportunity, Sohee and I slipped into Seondonguk’s hospital room like thieves.
