Regress and Eat

Kim and I left the black market after our last shopping trip to Iponia.

He sat in the driver's seat and said,

“Sir, when are you going to explain yourself? ”

In the back seat, I was wearing a mountain bracelet today. The car was automatically resized and looped to fit my wrist at the moment. In that state, you blow the Mana slightly.

Weeing!

The flow of Mana that is only visible to me disappears after wrapping the bracelet.

Confirm the user imprint is complete and smile quietly.

I raised my head to Kim's assistant.

“I'll explain later. Let's go home first. ”

Kim kicks off the car with his tongue.

While he was driving, I sat in the back seat for a moment thinking.

Instead, it was about the woman who led us to the misevolution of the product.

I peek at the driver's seat. You didn't notice Kim's assistant at all, did you?

When misevolution first appeared and greeted me, I was quite surprised.

Why can't I remember her name and her impression?

And · · ·.

I muttered a little.

“Why would a hunter of that size be out in the black market, handing out goods? ”

I saw it in my eyes the whole time I was guided by her. An enormous amount of active Mana boiling explosively around her Mana Core, near the heart of misevolution.

In this time, it was on average a Class S Hunter.

*

“Oh, it's been a long time since I've worn heels. ”

The reception room in the black market, where all the customers have left.

After escorting those who had finished shopping, Misevolution threw the heel in the air without a single hand.

Next, take off your glasses and place them on the table and unbutton your shirt. He then buried himself on a plush couch prepared for his customers and shook his feet on a black leather footrest.

Then, along with the misevolution, the employee who was carrying out the customer quickly approached.

“Well done, sir. ”

“Yes, you too, Silver Thread. ”

Employees come to the feet of misevolution and kneel on the carpet. Then he began to massage the misevolutionary calves and feet on the soles of his feet. Meanwhile, misevolution picked up a Cuban cigar from his arms.

Spatula!

I didn't need a cigar cutter. Simply flick your finger and the tip of the year is cut off, leaving a sharp cross-section.

Bloop!

I didn't need a lighter either. A burning blue flame ignites the cigar at the tip of her index finger.

Smoke was tasted with his nose, and misevolution asked.

“What did the source of the Celestial Dragon say? ”

The masseuse raised his head and replied.

“The eldest son of Seo Kyu-chul's guild leader went out informally three hours ago. ”

“Don't you think the guests we served are pretty sure? ”

“I think so, too. ”

“Hmm.”

Smoke was lightly breathed into the air and misevolution broke the stiff neck to the left and to the right. I was tired after holding the angle for a while.

Black Market is not interested in and doesn't want to dig up customer information, even if the opponent is a level of thugs they don't need to know about.

What Black Market does is buy and sell goods, and one of the key points of sales activity is, of course, managing regulars well. It was natural that only 5% of all customers increased sales by more than 70%.

And there's one little-known secret, which is that the black market has a fairly advanced intelligence organization.

While one of the trader's important virtues is information gathering, their information organization has been large and specialized enough to far exceed its general level due to the nature of the products it deals with.

In addition, the Black Market just visited Seo Jin-wook is the only Hunter-related black market in South Korea at this point, and the Cheongryong Guild was, of course, on top of their VIP list.

It was not necessary to say that biometric information such as Seo Jin-wook's voice print and footsteps, the successor of the Celestial Dragon Guild, had been obtained beforehand.

However, Seo Jin-wook, to be precise, did not even know Choi Seung-hyun possessed his body. He had never experienced the black market in his lifetime, and had all of his knowledge through historical records and testimonies.

He could not have known the informal part that was not recorded in the document.

His unique skill is to memorize visual perceptions, not even uncover them.

“Why would the Celestial Dragon Guild Master come all the way here to hide his identity and buy a bracelet and a three-month-old starving cat? ”

“I'm not sure. ”

“And you said he was an asshole. You look absolutely fine today. ”

“That was a surprise to me, too. ”

Once again, a deep smoke misevolution mutters, chewing on the tip of the glasses' legs.

“This difference between the collected information and the confirmed entity means that it's time for us to replace all the sources in the Celestial Dragon Guild? Or was everyone fooled in the first place? ”

The silver thread reading the line asked.

“Are you purposely acting like a lunatic? But why · · ·. ”

“Wouldn't it be even weirder if you said you were doing it for no reason? And what he picked up, unfortunately, was a handful of items that we haven't been able to fully identify and use. I don't see many of those nowadays. You just picked up that kind of stuff? I smell something. ”

Silver thread looks me in the eye and asks.

“What smell? Something stinky? ”

“No.”

Misevolution smiled brightly with its teeth.

“I smell very nice money. ”

Silver thread shrugs.

“You're right about your gut, I'm sure. ”

“So put some more people on the side of the Celestial Dragon. I feel like I could touch a lot of money if I had the chance. Besides, they're celestial dragons. ”

Think again about misevolution. I had a very good feeling.

And as Silver Thread said, her hunch was rarely wrong.

*

On the way home, I sat in the back seat and asked Kim a few questions.

I can see his eyes widening against the rearview mirror.

“Yes? Who would stand to gain if something bad happened to you? ”

And I said, "Oh, my God! ’I groan.

“Is that the first thing you want to know after you lose your memory? ”

“Yes, I'm curious. It's actually very important, isn't it? ”

Successor of the Celestial Dragon Guild, which is expected to change the game of the Korean Hunter. It is not an ordinary problem to put a curse on Seo Jin-wook.

Moreover, at a time when there are no such skills at all.

Who found this rare method and set a trap for Seo Jin-wook? The motive?

Kim's secretary tilted his head and muttered.

“No, no, no. It's important if it's important.”

I urged an answer.

“Well, the competition between guilds is intense, so if the successor of the Celestial Dragon Guild told the leader that it has tremendous potential, it would be great for other guilds. ”

“Not outside, but inside? ”

Kim's secretary puzzles his eyes as if he doesn't understand the question.

I asked more explicit and specific questions.

“Is there a guild insider who will benefit if I go wrong? ”

There was a slightly dark light on Kim's face. I didn't miss that change.

“What's the matter? ”

“· · · Suspicious parts of the surrounding area that are endlessly underneath and below seem to remain unpleasant. ”

One of Seo Jin-wook's personality traits, he considers almost everyone but himself as a potential enemy and has absolutely no credibility.

“Anyway, you used to make a lot of strange conjectures and elixirs. Every time you say that, if I give you one more answer today, you don't have to worry about me. ”

Kim began explaining the brief structure of the force within the guild.

In fact, it was embarrassingly simple to explain that it was a power map.

“So it's a peaceful system of cooperation between the father who has absolute power and the vice guild leader who has absolute power? ”

“Yes. The hunters brought in from the Vice Guild Master follow the Vice Guild Master more than the Guild Master. ”

Scratch the chin.

“The vice guild leader trusts the guild leader completely in the first place, and there are very few conflicts. ”

But no matter how friendly you are, the forces are clearly divided and the Vice Guild Master is firmly positioned as the Second Factor, right?

Of course, hearing such a story makes you suspicious.

“If that were the case, wouldn't number two want to contain me? Ah, if it weren't for him, I would have thought, Awareness. ”

I was unable to finish my sentence because Kim's face had changed to the strangest shape I had ever seen.

“What's the matter? ”

“Wait, what's the vice guild chief? Restraint? Haha, really. Listen, the boss hasn't been completely out of his mind. ”

He looked at my face with a rear-view mirror and trimmed his voice. Then I changed my words and said, "It's a harmonious expression."

“I think it's all thanks to the Vice Chairman, that you're holding yourself together intermittently instead of going over to the realm of the complete ascetic. ”

What the hell is that supposed to mean?

Kim shrugs.

“Wow, I'm not going to say hello anymore. Boss, I think I really lost my memory. ”

As I was running along the highway, Kim explained briefly.

The process of raising Seo Kyu-chul is close to emotional abuse, as you can see from the remnants of her memories of her dominance today.

In particular, it was confirmed that Hunter's talents had become even worse. More of a tool guy than a son?

Kim also talked about Seo Kyu-chul in front of me. He thought his father had done a solid job of making things worse, like Seo Jin-wook's mental illness.

“People around me had their tongues ripped off! It's not like I don't understand you being like that. ”

In fact, the symptoms are pure (?) Rather than a disease, I now know that someone planted a curse on this body, but I've been listening to it.

“I see.”

I'm a little curious to think about it. If the goal of doing harm is to do harm, why did he plant this kind of curse?

If Seo Jin-wook is annoyed, the best way to do it is to make it impossible to behave or kill it at all · ·.

“The one who's been taking care of me all these years? ”

“Yes, since I was five years old. From that point on, the boss was already very pissed off · ·. Hmm, hmm. Anyway, even though he was such a bad kid, the deputy guild chief was so fond of you, right? You are also very patient in front of the vice guild leader. As I've seen myself. ”

From what I heard, I even felt like the vice guild leader had replaced me as a parent.

“That's the kind of person who doesn't come to see me when I'm down? ”

“I'm attacking a dungeon right now. ”

“Vice guild leader scouts from other guilds? And yet you became my father's right-hand man after defeating the sacred relics of the Heavenly Dragon Guild? ”

“Yes. A strong faith that never breaks. ”

I asked him about it.

“While a few guilds were exploring dungeons as a coalition, the vice guild leader who owned another guild at the time saved the life of our guild leader. “

You're even a lifesaver.

As Seo Kyu-chul, it is a powerful reason to trust.

However, there was clear evidence that I witnessed to clear my suspicions after just hearing this.

“Is Park Chang-hee the one who brought the vice guild leader from outside? ”

Park Chang-hee, who said he was going to be disciplined, clearly heard Kim's ridicule. ‘I'll end up with a Cow Bat after seeing the Vice Guild Chief anyway.’ I said.

Kim gives you a nod.

“Yes.”

The head quickly returns. Park Chang-hee who tried to spy on me secretly. The deputy guild leader said he built an independent force within the guild. And Park Chang-hee is the deputy guild leader · · ·?

Whatever the apparent power relationship, whatever the relationship was between Seo Jin-wook and Vice Guild Master, I have to believe what I saw with my own eyes.

I thought about it, but at some point, Kim's assistant flinched at the rearview mirror outside the car several times. It was still a long way to Seoul.

“Hey · · Maybe, but not really. Sir.”

A serious voice that I rarely hear.

Now he asks me, fixing his gaze at the rearview mirror at all.

“Did you notice and ask? The question of who is your enemy? ”

“Why?”

“I think I'm being followed. ”

When I heard that, I also looked in the rearview mirror. Black passenger following our vehicle. I look at the license plate. It's exactly what I saw 25 minutes ago.

Focusing on his mind, he sees a bunch of Mana scurrying past the tanned passenger car window.

The people in that car, they're all hunters.

I have a cool feeling about this.

“I just went the other way, just in case, but I keep following. I will put an application request into the guild. ”

At that moment.

Suddenly, the opposing team seems to have noticed our situation.

The door of the passenger car opens, and the hand that comes out of it throws a small metal material toward the front.

After knowing who he was, Kim and I frowned at the same time.

“Jeez! ”

Pa!

A colorless sphere diffused in the metal material and covered the surroundings. The barrier of Mana encircles a radius of 100 meters.

We could see that the density of the air was completely different.

“Consolidated!”

I read Mana patterns. Blocking vision and interference with radio waves.

“Damn, I knew it. ”

Kim saw that the communication was completely paralyzed and finally stopped.

“It may be more dangerous to be in a car. Come out and stand behind me. ”
