Episode 084
Oh, you weren’t asleep yet.
I guess I interrupted him while he was doing something.
After waiting for a while, Eundam Yoo spoke again.
“It’s enough now.”
It’s really amazing.
The voice sounded as if I was talking to Eundam Yoo right in front of me.
But Seo Ji-han asked, looking a little dissatisfied.
– Are you connected? I can’t hear it.
I nodded instead of answering.
“I guess I contacted you while you were busy. I should have contacted you during the day…”
“Yes? no. I was already waiting for a call. “I’m not particularly busy.”
“ah-ha, I see. I contacted you because I was worried that something bad would happen after you went to the Amhyeon guild. “I have something to tell you.”
“You were worried. Fortunately, it seems that only some of the guild members participated, so it ended roughly. I was just doing some cleaning right now. “I came back after a long time and there was a lot to clean up.”
Hunter Eundam Yoo is the type of person who does the cleaning himself. I like him because he seems to have a neat personality.
“aha. You’re cleaning. You must be busy. Well then, let me tell you quickly. “Please eat the horn I gave you.”
“yes?”
“If you eat it with your mouth, you will develop skills. “I also found out by chance.”
“Why did you chew this? “Are you having a hard time getting food right now?”
I quickly corrected myself because I felt like I was making a ridiculous misunderstanding.
Yeah, it’s strange.
It’s something I don’t usually do.
“No, it’s not like that. After trying everything, I just gave it a try. ah. And I also got that cell phone. “If you tell me your contact information, I will leave your number there.”
Time was a little tight, but after I received and registered Yoo Eundam’s contact information, the connection was cut off just in time.
I called Yoo Eun-dam’s cell phone for a moment and registered the number, but Seo Ji-han stared at me blankly and then asked me a question.
– You clean?
“yes? yes. It seemed busy. “Well, since you’ve been away from home for a long time, you should do some deep cleaning.”
– Hmm, really?
“Why are you smiling like that?”
– no. nothing. I need to clean it. cleanup.
Strangely, he smiled as if he knew it all to himself, and no matter how many times I asked, he wouldn’t tell me.
“But Seo Ji-han.”
– huh?
“The fishing rod is gone.”
In fact, I saw a fish disappear with the bait on the fishing rod beyond Seo Ji-han’s translucent body, but I deliberately didn’t tell him.
* * *
“The guild leader of the Amhyeon Guild has contacted the sky.”
The voice of the secretary reporting was horribly tense.
It was only natural, considering how much of a personality the man standing in front of him had.
If I’m unlucky, the glass in the man’s hand might fly to my head.
“What’s the reaction?”
A short question with a twisted tone.
This is a red flag.
The secretary bowed her head even deeper.
“doesn’t exist.”
“doesn’t exist?”
“Yes, no reaction….”
Kwachang! A bursting sound cut off the secretary’s words.
A whiskey cup with ice clattering flew down, grazed the secretary’s shoulder, and fell and shattered.
Goosebumps appeared on the secretary’s cheeks at the angle at which it was clear that the throw was aimed at the head.
“Secretary Um. Do I have to be detailed when reporting? Or should I just do it roughly?”
“Now, we need to go into detail.”
“okay. There’s no need to go into detail. How should I know if there is no response? uh? What do you mean no response? Are you saying that Ban Seo-hu just ignored Yoo Eun-dam who came to visit? Or did you just have a conversation?”
“sorry. “The two of us had a conversation.”
This time the foot flew off.
Secretary Eom’s black suit jacket, which had not a single speck of dust, was covered in faint shoe prints.
Thanks to her many years of experience, Secretary Eom trembled in advance and took action.
If I hold on, I’ll only get hit more until my ribs break.
“properly. Let’s do it right. huh? “Don’t you need to come to your senses?”
The ‘boss’, who kicked Secretary Eom with every syllable, wheezed and shook his head.
The oily face was flushed red.
His bulbous nose, drunk from alcohol and anger, is also unsightly and red.
“alcohol.”
As I stretched out my hand, another waiting secretary quickly handed me a glass of whiskey.
The ‘boss’ nodded, sipping his drink again as if nothing had happened.
“Look and keep going.”
“Yes old!”
Secretary Eom, very nervous, held up the report again.
It was clear that if I made a mistake this time, a glass of wine would fly to my head.
“It is presumed that the purpose of Guild Master Yoo Eundam’s visit was to understand the current situation. “I did not hear the content of the conversation, but since there was no reaction after guild leader Eundam Yoo left, it appears that the main content was not mentioned.”
“okay? “Why is that impatient guy taking a break?”
“Since something big has happened, I think they are trying to move more cautiously.”
“Tsk.”
When the ‘president’ clicked his tongue, Secretary Eom’s shoulders stiffened.
For a while, there was only the sound of ice clattering in the ‘boss’s’ glass.
“Let’s wait and see. Anyway, the guild leader after Banseo can’t move carelessly. If we use Ban Seo-jin well, I think we can deal with Yoo Eun-dam without even touching him. “So, did you find out how Yoo Eundam was released?”
“All the hunters it was watching were wiped out, so nothing has been identified yet. However, perhaps there was betrayal by an insider…”
The secretary’s back was wet with cold sweat as he answered.
The ‘president’s’ disapproving gaze and tightly clutched glass of wine felt even more ominous.
“No one is doing anything right. This is why people who are used to it can’t use it. “Isn’t that right?”
“That’s right.”
“In times like this, the response is quick. What happened? Attach someone to Yoo Eundam and form a team to prevent him from acting unexpectedly and prepare for the hunt. “I have to be prepared even when I can’t use Banseohu.”
“All right.”
The secretary quickly lowered her head before being asked another question by the ‘boss’.
“What about Baek Gwang-hyeon?”
“I did it as you said.”
“When will the article come out?”
“Within a week, there will be news that he committed suicide out of pessimism over the failure of the attack. We have also prepared related columns in advance.”
“Do it without mistakes.”
Baek Gwang-hyeon was a guy I didn’t like in many ways.
People with no ability or qualifications are just greedy.
The ‘CEO’ really hated people who couldn’t understand such topics.
I felt irritated when I thought of that stupid face that drooled like a pig, fearing that I might lose a place.
If you leave him alive, he will be in trouble later.
I haven’t seen a person who doesn’t understand a topic that doesn’t cause problems later.
Now that it has served its purpose, all that remains is to remove it.
In any case, the fewer people who knew about this, the better.
The ‘president’s’ shining eyes were filled with murder and turned towards my secretary.
Those who know too much.
We need to be wary of those guys.
“And is there anything else to report?”
“I received a call from outside.”
“already?”
Despite the ambiguous name outside, the ‘CEO’ was a face I recognized immediately.
There is only one thing they call outside without a subject.
We are talking about the large overseas guilds that are participating in this great event.
“Prepare for market pressure.”
“Are you sure you don’t mind? The two guilds are still fine…” The
‘president’s’ eyebrows quickly rose at the secretary’s rare act of pouting.
“Are you okay? Does it look fine to you?”
“sorry.”
Even if Yoo Eundam is released, it’s as if the Amhyeon Guild is already in his hands.
Even the Heavenly Sky Guild won’t be able to move if you shake it up with anti-seojin.
In fact, there is only one proper guild left in this regard.
“They’re urging me from over there. This is a situation that needs to be adjusted. “A dungeon was also blown away.”
Step by step, he monopolized the dungeon and persuaded production hunters to join him.
Now that they have dealt with those who do not listen, the production and supply of items in Korea are all in their hands.
What should you do if there is something that only you can supply?
Of course we have to reduce supply.
That way, rare items will become even rarer.
As items become more difficult to obtain, your power to monopolize them will become stronger.
However, as long as there is a global market called the Hunter Market, even if Korea alone reduces the supply of items, the effect will be minimal.
Because you can purchase items registered by overseas hunters.
That is why collusion is necessary.
This is a collusion between the world’s largest guilds that supply so many items that they can control the market.
Although it is still working with a few countries such as China and Japan, this alone can control half of the world’s item supply.
If they stop supplying an item at once, the price of the item will naturally rise in a market where supply has decreased.
In the end, you will be able to control the ups and downs of the market without having to join hands with every guild.
In the meantime, it was heartbreaking that a Korean dungeon disappeared.
It was as if a treasure mine had disappeared.
The culprit is probably Yoo Eundam.
I really shouldn’t let that guy live.
Anyway, it looks like preparations have been completed overseas, so now all they have to do is make their move.
Whatever the form, the goal of preventing the two guilds in Korea from performing their functions has been achieved, so the operation can be implemented slowly.
From now on, the supply of items around the world will be reduced.
The power of the guild that owns the item will become stronger.
A world where the person who holds the items and dungeons becomes king.
A world will come where even the president will have to come to me and pray to get a healing potion.
At the beginning of such a new world, it is nothing more than a few rats running around.
Anyway, soon the whole world will jump into this trend and everyone will be out catching mice together.
“What should we do to monitor the bereaved families?”
“What should I do?”
“How long will I have to monitor you….”
“Tsk.”
The ‘boss’ clicked his tongue again.
There is no way to do anything properly.
It seems like something frustrating that needs to be instructed one by one.
“You said the two of you had no surviving family members, right?”
“yes. “Noh Hee-man and Noh Mi-rae Hunters have distant relatives, but they say they have been disowned for a long time.”
“why?”
“It appears that he got into a big fight because he stole and squandered all of his family’s hospital expenses while gambling and drinking.”
“Tsk, pathetic lives.”
The ‘president’ thought for a moment while quenching his thirst with alcohol and spoke in an unusually calm voice.
“Just in case, give me some money. Shut up. “Send in those who are prone to groveling and make sure there is no backlash.”
“Yes, I understand. “What should Hunter Son Moa do?”
