The Owner of the Healing Therapy Shop is World Rank 0
Chapter 88
The Hunter Association quickly regained its vitality thanks to my mana support.
The healers rapidly treated the injured with their restored mana, and the rescue agents and building reinforcement teams also picked up speed to finish the recovery work.
Once the scene was somewhat organized, Senior Jinseong, Oppa Seondonguk, and I headed without delay to our next destination, Seong Hospital.
We hurried our steps, expecting that place to be a battlefield as well, but the moment we entered the hospital lobby, all three of us stopped as if we had made a promise.
It was different from our expectations.
The hospital had already found stability.
The healers were leisurely managing their mana, and even the critically injured seemed peaceful, as if they had already passed the crisis.
At the center of it all was a woman surrounded by people, the saint, Alice.
“Thank you so much, Saint!”
“If it weren’t for Alice, our child would have been in real trouble.”
“The saint is truly like an angel.”
Alice bowed her head to each person’s praise and accepted their handshakes.
On the surface, she was the perfect image of a saint.
But having seen her duplicitous nature, I couldn’t view that appearance favorably.
“You’re too kind. I just think of it as an ability given to help everyone, so I’m just trying to share it.”
“That’s why you’re called a saint!”
As if facing a princess from a fairy tale, the child’s eyes sparkled as they looked at Alice.
Alice bent down to match the child’s eye level.
“But what should I do? It seems like I’ll have to quit my role as a saint now.”
“Huh? Why?”
The people around stirred at her shocking statement.
Wasn’t she still too young to retire? Moreover, since there was no hunter who could use healing as powerful as hers, her retirement would be a threat to humanity.
Everyone waited anxiously for Alice’s answer.
Even I, who was watching, became curious about what she would say.
“Well…”
Alice, who had been dragging out her words while building suspense, pulled her eyebrows down and muttered.
“It seems like another saint has been born.”
In that moment, Alice looked at me. With a twisted smile on her face.
“A really amazing one at that.”
Following Alice’s gaze, everyone’s attention turned toward us all at once.
“Isn’t that Gangjinseong and Seondonguk?”
“The woman next to them is…”
“Is that sister going to become a saint?”
As the murmuring grew louder, Senior hid me behind him and said.
“Let’s go.”
Senior took my hand and led me out of the hospital.

“What the hell is going on.”
The blatant suspicion shown by the guild leaders and Director Seo Eunhae left an indelible scratch on Jeong Sihwa’s pride.
Having stormed out of the conference room, she kicked the stones rolling on the asphalt pavement as she walked roughly.
“IP logs? Why would I order such a thing? If I coveted those bastards’ maps, I would have just swallowed their entire guilds whole, why would I do such petty theft!”
Jeong Sihwa couldn’t contain her boiling anger and fumed.
In her mind, the faces of the guild leaders who had cornered her flashed by.
Aren’t those crazy bastards plotting something together, excluding only me?
She glared sharply at the building where she had been staying until just moments ago.
Then, leisurely footsteps were heard from behind her.
When she turned around, she saw Jang Dohun with his characteristic brazen smile.
“Why do you keep following me? Do you have something left to say?”
Even at Sihwa’s sharp rebuke, Jang Dohun didn’t budge.
Rather, he answered good-naturedly like a benevolent adult.
“You looked wronged, so I thought I should follow and comfort you. I thought Guild Leader Jeong would be deeply hurt by this incident.”
Jeong Sihwa snorted, but she didn’t coldly drive away Jang Dohun, who was the only one who had taken her side.
“This industry has always been this dirty.”
“I have nothing to gain from destroying guilds, and I’ve never tried to steal maps. Those three guilds? Even if I left them alone, my guild would do much better, so why would I use such dirty tactics!”
At Sihwa’s confident outcry, Jang Dohun burst into hearty laughter.
“Hahaha! The spirit of youth is indeed good. But Guild Leader Jeong, shall this old man who’s been through all sorts of battles give you some advice?”
Jang Dohun’s eyes instantly became seriously subdued.
“This game can’t be survived with just spirit and passion. It’s truly commendable that you’ve made it this far, but now you have to deal with cunning snakes and foxes to see higher places.”
Jeong Sihwa didn’t take those words as light banter.
Jang Dohun was certainly a figure who divided opinions sharply, but she knew he was a fox who had survived through political maneuvering alone even as governments changed and high-ranking officials’ heads rolled one after another.
Sihwa stopped and stared at him intently.
“So what advice do you want to give?”
Jang Dohun paused for a moment and looked around.
“What should I say first… First of all, don’t believe everything those people say. Truth becomes lies, and lies become truth in this industry.”
“Then you mean what I didn’t do becomes fact?”
“It’s a predetermined process. Isn’t it a common trick to suppress the spirit of a new guild that’s grown too big?”
Jang Dohun continued as if generously sharing some tremendous secret.
Jeong Sihwa frowned and asked.
“Then this incident was orchestrated by the director and guild leaders?”
“No, they probably don’t know. They’re being used too.”
“You talk as if you know who did this?”
A meaningful smile appeared on Jang Dohun’s lips.
He approached Sihwa’s ear and whispered in a lowered voice.
“Of course I know. It’s a cute little stunt pulled by S-ranks who have completely escaped the Hunter Association’s control.”
Jeong Sihwa made an expression of incomprehension.
“Why would S-ranks do this? What would they gain from causing such a major incident?”
“They’ll definitely gain something. A stage will be created for ‘the hero’s spectacular entrance.'”
“What hero? In this chaos?”
Jang Dohun nodded and kindly added an explanation.
“Think about it. Why did only ‘Shinnara’s’ workshop and related places blow up among all the many workshops? When Korea’s top enchanter loses her tools and raw materials evaporate, who would benefit the most?”
“Well… other enchanters, I suppose.”
“Correct.”
“Which enchanter?”
“The media will be chattering about it soon. It’ll be truly the spectacular entrance of a hero.”
“…What the hell.”
Before leaving, Jang Dohun lightly patted Jeong Sihwa’s shoulder and left his final words.
“Think carefully about why I gave this information to you of all people.”
Jeong Sihwa stood there for a long time, watching Jang Dohun’s retreating figure.

Isn’t this the woman who predicted the Mapo-gu Maze Gate last time?
Comments
└This guy’s at it again lol Isn’t this the same dude who posted that intersection prophet thing last time?
└Why are those two S-ranks Gangjinseong and Seondonguk with that woman?? What’s their relationship???
└I saw it too in front of the Hunter Association! Whatever that woman did, suddenly all the healers got up like zombies and started pouring out heals
Guys, this is real – I saw that combination at the STD clinic ㄷㄷ
└What was Maeng Seokwoo doing while the Hunter Association got completely wrecked?;; So fucking incompetent
[NEW] Holy shit did you guys see the news? State-certified Hunter announcement? Yebichnna?
Comments
└ Holy shit, isn’t that the thing only hunters who’ve made national contributions receive?
└Is this official? Not bullshit?
└ㅇㅇ This is a constitutional committee announcement, registered 5 years later after Seon Dong-wook and Kang Jin-seo
└Why did she lie about being Shinnara? I don’t get it;
└I heard this woman is the Mapo Intersection prophet
[NEW] They say she also applied for registration with the World Hunter Association?
Comments
└Legendary; what class
└I heard even Gangjinseong is still pending, how did that woman get registered
└If she can predict Gates then that’s totally possible
└You actually believe that? lol
└What’s good about getting registered there? Is it difficult?
└ㅇㅇ Only Alice and Edward have been registered recently. Being listed in the Federation means you’re at the level of a global hero, so only crazy strong people can get registered
└You can assume it’s nearly impossible to get registered, but that woman gets registered? She’s fucking overpowered
