“I do it every day without fail.”
Furthermore, Siwoo’s attitude towards the A+ rank hunter from a large guild was too calm and composed.
Choi Sung-il had heard about it, but this was the first time he had seen it in person, and he was taken aback.
He didnโt even treat him, the Guild Leader, like that. . . .
“Why don’t you do that for me?”
“D-Don’t talk nonsense.”
At Choi Sung-il’s words, Chu Ha-min grimaced and replied.
“Hehe. A fight between our Hunter Min Siwoo . . . I knew this had happened, but you’ve become quite close.”
Baek Geon-ho said, looking bewildered.
He knew that Chu Ha-min had been severely punished after watching the unreleased video, but he hadn’t known that they had developed this kind of relationship.
โYes. I went to him and asked him to teach me. I am currently Hunter Min Siwooโs first disciple.โ
Chu Ha-min’s proud reply.
Park Ji-cheol was stunned as he watched the head of the [๐๐ก๐ข๐ญ๐ ๐๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐๐ฎ๐ข๐ฅ๐], who he had wanted to get in touch with, and the rising rookie speak so casually to Siwoo.
‘๐๐๐๐จ ๐๐จ ๐๐ง๐๐ฏ๐ฎ! ๐พ๐๐ช ๐๐-๐ข๐๐ฃ ๐๐จ ๐๐ค๐ฌ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐ฉ ๐ 90-๐๐๐๐ง๐๐ ๐๐ฃ๐๐ก๐ ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ช๐จ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐ค๐ฃ๐ค๐ง๐๐๐๐๐จ?!’
He had never heard of such a hunter in HSIU.
If he had known, he would have found him sooner and put him in his own line.
As they were talking,
“Really? I thought I was your first disciple.”
A well-dressed man joined the conversation.
All eyes turned to the other VIP who had arrived.
“Isn’t this Hunter Min Si-joon of the [๐๐ฆ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐ข๐๐ฅ ๐๐ฎ๐ข๐ฅ๐]! Thank you for coming.”
Baek Geon-ho greeted him warmly with a bright smile.
While Choi Sung-il, who was directly targeting Siwoo, was a rival, Min Si-joon, who cooperated with HSIU, was a good partner.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Branch Manager. And long time no see, Hunter Choi Sung-il.”
“I didn’t know that the Guild Leader of the [๐๐ฆ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐ข๐๐ฅ ๐๐ฎ๐ข๐ฅ๐] would come in person.”
Choi Sung-il shook hands with him and welcomed Min Si-joon’s appearance.
The heads of two large guilds, both of whom were ranked in the TOP 10 in South Korea, had gathered here.
People began to murmur at the rare sight that they didn’t often get to see.
โIs it real that such high-ranking hunters are coming to an HSIU party?โ
“Wow, this is the first time I’ve seen an S-Rank hunter in person.”
“Two S-Rank hunters, Chu Ha-min, Sung Chang-won, Ha Jun-tae . . . Three A+ ranks, and one A-Rank, Hwang Jeong-gu.โ
“This is crazy. My chest is swelling with pride. We could clear an A-Rank gate with just these guys.”
“But who is that guy? I’ve never seen him before.”
People were curious about the stranger standing next to Baek Geon-ho.
What was he doing there?
“I see Hunter Lee Ye-ji didn’t come.”
“We invited her, but she said she felt uncomfortable at events like this.”
Baek Geon-ho shrugged his shoulders at Min Si-joon’s question.
S-Rank Hunter Lee Ye-ji.
She was the head of the [๐ ๐ซ๐จ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ก๐จ๐ซ๐ง ๐๐ฎ๐ข๐ฅ๐], one of the Heptagram, and held a high-ranking position in HSIU.
As her nickname ‘Cold Nightingale’ suggested, she had been very helpful in cracking down on criminals.
“Is that so? I wanted to thank her for her help.”
โBut what brings the Imperial Guild to this place?โ
“. . . . . .??”
“. . . . . .?!”
At that moment, someone asked the head of the [๐๐ฆ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐ข๐๐ฅ ๐๐ฎ๐ข๐ฅ๐] in an informal way.
It was Siwoo.
The HSIU executives and the people around him, including Choi Sung-il, frowned at Siwoo’s rudeness.
Despite his harmless appearance, Min Si-joon was the head of a guild and the 9th-ranked S-Rank hunter in South Korea.
They wondered if he was trying to match Baek Geon-ho or Chu Ha-min.
However,
“I was invited, and I came because I’m related to my older brother.”
โOh, is that so? Iโll ride in your car when we go back.โ
Everyone was doubly shocked at the sight.
The two of them seemed so close.
โOh. . . My little brother. Are you close to the head of the Imperial Guild?โ
Since they hadn’t officially announced that they were brothers yet, most people didn’t know about their relationship.
Even Baek Geon-ho didn’t know that they were brothers, so he couldn’t help but ask.
Siwoo winked at Si-joon.
The two of them had recently decided to announce their brotherhood at the right time.
Choi Dae-soo knew that Siwoo was alive anyway, so there was no longer any need to hide it.
Instead, Siwoo planned to increase his own presence so that Choi Dae-soo would have to pay attention to him no matter what he did.
That’s why this banquet was going to be a great turning point.
Min Si-joon looked around for a moment before answering on his behalf.
“He’s my real brother.”
“W-What?!!”
“H-Hunter Min Si-joon . . . Min Siwoo . . . weren’t your names just similar?!”
โMaster brother is the Guild Leader of [๐๐ฆ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐ข๐๐ฅ ๐๐ฎ๐ข๐ฅ๐]. As expected, heโs amazing! I have nothing but respect for you!โ
Hwang Jeong-gu was the only one who wasn’t surprised, while Sung Chang-won, Ha Jun-tae, Yong-gu Lee, and Park Ji-cheol all had a hard time accepting it.
In the midst of all this, Chu Ha-min stared at Siwoo and Min Si-joon with his hands clasped together.
That was the kind of look a fangirl would give a celebrity she idolized.
“So I came to ask you to take good care of my older brother, as the Guild Leader and as his younger brother.”
Min Si-joon looked at Baek Geon-ho and the HSIU executives with a faint smile.
Simply put, he had come in person to let them know that ‘Min Siwoo has the [๐๐ฆ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐ข๐๐ฅ ๐๐ฎ๐ข๐ฅ๐] behind him.’
The executives couldn’t hide their embarrassment.
Hunter Min Si-joon was not someone to be ignored.
One of the guilds that had the strongest cooperative relationship with HSIU was Min Si-joon’s [๐๐ฆ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐ข๐๐ฅ ๐๐ฎ๐ข๐ฅ๐].
“Hahahaha, of course! I will take responsibility for it with my name, Baek Geon-ho. It will be even more reassuring with Hunter Min Si-joon here!”
From Baek Geon-ho’s point of view, it was like he had gained another strong ally, so it was like hitting the jackpot.
Moreover, Min Si-joonโs position was not โto take his older brother awayโ but โto take good care of his older brotherโ, so it couldnโt be helped.
“Wellใ ก Sir Hunter Siwoo seems to be a great person the more I get to know him. But why don’t you join the [๐๐ฆ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐ข๐๐ฅ ๐๐ฎ๐ข๐ฅ๐] instead of HSIU?”
Choi Sung-il asked the most important question.
If he was a real brother and had such great skills, there was no way he wouldn’t have let him go.
Was there a reason he would join a place with poor welfare and low pay?
“Well . . . I didn’t really think about joining, and Si-joon didn’t tell me to join either.”
“Oh, come to think of it, I didn’t invite you to join our guild.”
Siwoo and Si-joon replied as if it were nothing, and the others were left to be bewildered.
โBranch Manager, we have a guest.โ
In the midst of all this, a staff member at the entrance approached Baek Geon-ho and spoke to him.
“Guests? Where are they from?”
“They say they’re from the ใGerman Hunter Associationใ?”
