Chapter 49

“here is….”

Sungjin got out of the car and looked at the store in front of him.

She thought she would go to a nearby cafe or something, but she wanted to go pretty far.

Still, I wondered if there was a famous tea house that I knew.

“Isn’t it a bar?”

“Yes. This is my favorite place. If you say tea at night, isn’t it alcohol? Do you not drink alcohol?”

“No. It’s not that I can’t, I didn’t know I could drink right now.”

“Haha. It can be. But considering what we’re going to talk about, wouldn’t a heavy drink be more atmospheric than a light drink like coffee?”

Kim Gak-ryong said that and entered the store naturally.



And he went into one of several rooms, and he followed himself into it.

“You wait there. Make sure no one comes near.”

“Yes, I understand.”

Druck, thump! As he went in, he closed the door to the men in black suits who had come with him.

“Security is strict once.”

It wasn’t just because there were people guarding the entrance.

It was a story that included the security of this space itself.

Judging from the sound of the door being dragged and closed, it looked like a door made of full iron.

The wall feels cold to the touch and makes almost no sound when you tap it lightly, probably like a door.

There is also considerable thickness. It seemed that he would hardly ever go out and count.

“That’s pretty basic, considering the topic of the story I’m going to talk about.”

“is that so.”

“Yes. Oh, I ordered alcohol on my own, would it be okay? It’ll be okay because it’s a delicious drink.”

With that said, the drink he picked up looked like ‘I’m high-class’, and there was a hint of fermented liquor.

It was a heavy topic, so I brought alcohol with me as well.

“…I don’t drink that much.”

“Is that so. Then let’s eat a little lighter.”

As if he had lost his appetite, he poured the liquor into a straight glass, weighed it, and poured it into an underlock glass.

Then he put a certain amount of carbonated water and about three ice cubes in the water, stirred them with a glass stick, and gave them to himself.

“Try it. It will be delicious.”

“Yes.”

After saying that, Kim Gak-ryong poured a lot of liquor into the underlock glass.

He seems to be quite a drinker.

It was a sight never seen before.

At the end of the day, alcohol was scarce, so maybe it wasn’t possible to get tea.

Sungjin took a sip of his drink with that thought in mind.

“Great!”

A strong alcohol smell emanated from the esophagus, even though the carbonated water was mixed.

And after a while, the hot drink settled on the stomach, and I felt my stomach turn sour.

Tuk, click. When I put the glass down, the ice inside clashed and made a sound.

It just didn’t quite suit her taste.

“Did you rinse your mouth?”

“Yes. What…”

As she answered, she looked at her opponent’s glass.

More than half of his glass, from which he must have drank the undiluted liquid, was gone.

However, his face did not turn red, and he drank quietly without making a sound unlike himself.

… I feel like something is missing.

“I’m glad that it suits your taste. As expected, it’s sad when you lose alcohol while having a conversation. Don’t you think people say that their nature comes out when they’re drunk? Well, I’ve never been drunk, so I don’t know.”

“I’m envious of that. What kind of skill is it? I want to learn it too.”

“It’s not possible because it’s an innate unique skill.”

He exchanged jokes to lighten the mood before engaging in heavy conversations.

When the atmosphere was somewhat ripe, Kim Gak-ryong entered the main topic.

“To be honest, we’re in a bit of a difficult situation because of you right now. We’re going against our plans a little bit.”

“It’s off-putting, about what specifically?”

“Don’t pretend you don’t know. You already know everything, don’t you?”

Judging from this, it seemed that he had already finished talking with his older brother, Kim Gak-hwan.

After all, what’s the point of not telling the spy that the spy was discovered?

“I’ll ask first. How did you find out about our hideout, or drug dealer, to be exact? That’s information I didn’t know.”

He spoke with his hands clasped and his elbows on the table.

It felt like the police were interrogating the suspect.

‘Even if you eat gangsters, the police are police, right?’

So, how do you answer?

I’ve known this before, and a vague answer like that doesn’t work.

The person in this place right now is the Bugilma of the Fire Dragon Guild. While he was leading the Fire Dragon Guild, it would be strange to think that he did not know anything about himself.

If so, he should think other than the Fire Dragon Guild.

An organization that is not an individual, but also a place where it is difficult to obtain information or where information that is now available to you is available.

“I don’t know how I got it either. It’s just something the guild asks you to do.”

“Guild? You wouldn’t have a guild?”

“It’s not officially, but it is unofficially. If you’ve done a background check on me, you might have guessed a little bit?”

Kim Gak-ryong was immersed in his own words.

It was difficult for him to believe that an individual did this in the first place.

It was clear that he had a hind stomach.

At first, though, I thought that the rear might be one of the villain guilds, but they are afraid of Kim Gak-hwan.

He would not have used the means of going to see him in person.

So, I searched thoroughly for Sungjin.

Starting with his birth, where is the greatest connection with recent times?

And there was one and only great connection.

“Argonaut, you mean?”

“It’s a little bit difficult to say directly.”

Argonaut.

It is the largest Hunter Guild in Korea.

Of course, it’s not without rivals, but if you’re looking for an elite hunter, there’s nothing strange about having a hunter like that.

I thought maybe it was an elite hunter who was secretly raising him.

There was a conflict with the Fire Dragon Guild this time, and their intelligence is above them.

In fact, one of the reasons for this uproar this time was that Argonaut reported the Fire Dragon Guild as villains.

‘Besides, it’s not like there was no contact.’

The time to pursue Seong-jin.

Considering that he put Choi Geon-woo in the Argo Note, there is a very deep bond.

Even if he belonged to the informal Argonaut, there was nothing he could not believe.

“Then how much do you know about our business?”

“I know everything about dirty things. Drugs, prostitution, smuggling, fraud. What kind of answer do you want to hear? If you ask me to hand over the information, I’ll give it to you in lieu of the price of alcohol.”

Kim Gak-ryong’s expression distorted at Sung-jin’s answer.

He has more types of business than he knows.

Also, it seemed that Lee Hwa-ryong wasn’t trusting him properly.

‘Well, it doesn’t matter.’

Now, I thought I’d throw it all away anyway.

“I have a request for you including that information.”

“Please, what?”

“We want you to take a little responsibility because our plans have been twisted because of you. We are planning to redo the board this time.”

“Are you going to put the plates back on?”

Originally, it was planned to break in as a spy for villains, gather their information, induce action, and then strike out at once.

But things have changed.

If Seongjin continues to attack like this, the Fire Dragon Guild will attack to catch him.

He is Seong-jin who thought he was an individual, but behind him is an Argonaut.

The Fire Dragon Guild has no choice but to lose to Argonauts who have many A-class hunters, and the guild itself will eventually disappear.

This is not good.

According to this plan, one villain guild called Fire Dragon might disappear, but he could not catch other villains.

So he had to straighten the plate again.

“Yes. Help me eat the Fire Dragon.”

Kim Gak-ryong raised the glass and tilted it slightly.

If he accepts this offer, it’s like he’s going to make a toast.

“Eating the Fire Dragon, it must have been for security. But there must be some conditions?”

“Eh. By the way, can you give me a little trouble for the time being?”

He said so and he talked about what to do next.

It was definitely a tedious task.

I mean, it was cumbersome and I had to pay a little attention to the reputation of those around me.

However.

“It’s not bad for me. I’ll have to tell the guild, but good news is waiting for me.”

“Thank you for that.”


Seongjin said so, and he also picked up his glass and bumped it against his. The glasses made a light sound and each brought their drinks to their mouths.

gulp. Unlike the first time I drank yangju, I felt like my stomach was full.

After all, drinking with friends is the best way to feel the taste.

***

“Ummm…”

Hwaryong Lee, the master of the Fire Dragon Guild, was frowned upon receiving the progress report.

Income has dropped significantly.

I can’t even keep up with the previous half.

It’s not about the game being bad or anything like that.

‘Kim Seong-jin… !’

It happened because of that damn bastard.

The decline in income was because useful sources of income were shutting down one after the other.

The guild members are dying, and they come to a place where money is made and they are doing their part.

He sent villains to deal with him, and when that didn’t work, he sent them to his father as well.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

But somehow the senders lost contact with each other.

Obviously he’s here, but someone was protecting his father.

‘But I can’t even kill my mother.’

The gnome’s mother was in a special room at the Hunter Hospital, probably because the money was rotting.

Even if not, it is a special room at Hunter Hospital where the security is strict.

It was too much of a burden to attack here.

“Damn it!”

This time, he grabbed a piece of furniture that had been newly decorated in the room and threw it at the door.

His pathological stress-relief method is on the rise again.

Chuck, but there was no sound of breaking and cracking.

It is the sound that relieves his stress.

Hwaryong Lee did something and looked at the door.

“I told you last time? It’s expensive to be here.”

“…okay.”

“You can still see why I was angry in the past. What is it this time?”

This is Kim Gak-ryong.

Bugilma, he was still bringing data stolen from the police today.

That was his main job.

Running a guild with stolen information like that.

‘Would you like to talk?’

Hwaryong Lee pondered for a moment.

He hadn’t told him anything about the shadows yet.

He made sure he didn’t care that far.

So he couldn’t understand why he was angry.

So he has no choice but to steer clear.

“…Do you remember the guy named Kim Seong-jin I brought you last time?”

“Yeah. Last time I saw it, it was also on the news. Isn’t he the first to clear the dungeon? If you’re still touching him, it’s better to blow it now. He’ll do more damage if you touch him.”

“No, that’s… damn.”

He has to ask him to somehow create a way to deal with him, but since he’s an ignorant bastard, it’s hard to convince him with words.

If he is a member of another guild, he just has to bully him, but this guy has a lot of trust among guild members and ranks second only to himself.

After annoyed, Lee Hwa-ryong exhaled and held out the report he had received.

“…What is this?”

“This is a report that shows how much we lost this time. If you look there, Kim Seong-jin is paying most of the loss.”

In the end, Lee Hwa-ryong taught me all the things that I had done in the dark.

He didn’t even know that Gak-ryong Kim, who was listening to it, was smiling and looking down at him.

– As planned.
