โChoi Dae-soo’s Guild Reform, Will She Be at the Center?
โ[๐๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ ๐๐จ๐จ๐ง ๐๐ฎ๐ข๐ฅ๐] Is It Eventually Becoming the ‘Blue House Guild’?
โThe President’s Hunting Dog Makes a Move
“These articles are pretty interesting.”
The Presidentโs Office in the Blue House.
Choi Dae-soo smoked a cigarette while looking at the news headlines.
Humans seem to like to judge and be swayed by looking only at the surface.
If you think about it one more time, it’s a problem that you can see a different answer.
How could you control them without manipulating them?
Smart.
At that moment, someone showed up with a knock.
“Oh, my, look who decided to show their precious face.”
Choi Dae-soo put the cigarette he was holding on the ashtray.
“Who called for me.”
Korea’s 7th ranked hunter,
The head of [๐๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ ๐๐จ๐จ๐ง ๐๐ฎ๐ข๐ฅ๐] and an S-Rank hunter,
Empress Kang Yeo-hwa.
She sat down on the sofa with her long, bright red hair fluttering.
A seductive appearance and a sharp face.
And a cold expression with no corners of her mouth raised.
She literally looked like an empress of ice.
“Are you being so cold because no men are chasing after you? You need to be a little more inviting.”
โStop talking nonsense and tell me what you need.โ
Choi Dae-soo got up from his seat with a chuckle.
His huge, mountain-like body and the aura emanating from him lightly pressed down on the office.
“Don’t be like that. How does it feel to live being called Choi Dae-soo’s watchdog?”
“How dare you call meใ ก!”
Kang Yeo-hwa’s eyes flashed and she poured out a fierce momentum.
The marble table shattered, cracked, and the teacup on it broke with a bang.
Choi Dae-soo frowned at the burning momentum.
“Let’s calm down. If we make a scene, it’ll be a mess for both of us, right?”
“Are you telling me to go somewhere else and talk about this nonsense?”
Kang Yeo-hwa growled like a beast, as if she wouldn’t back down.
Choi Dae-soo shrugged his shoulders and sat down in the seat across from her.
โYeah, letโs not talk about that anymore. I called you today to talk about ‘work’.โ
โ. . . . . .What is it?โ
Choi Dae-soo turned on a large screen on the cracked table.
It was a map of ‘dungeons’, ‘permanent gates’, and ‘towers’ located throughout the country.
โThere is a gate without a guardian in the uninhabited Seongji Mountain. . . There is a rumor that there is an artifact here.โ
โWhat is the gate rank?โ
โA-Rank.โ
Choi Dae-soo said with a nonchalant smile.
โSurely youโre not telling me to go in here alone?โ
โThat’s why I’m ‘asking’ you now.โ
Kang Yeo-hwa gritted her teeth.
“If there’s no owner, the government should just buy it and officially take care of it.”
“Ha ha. You sound so naive sometimes. That’s why I called you because we ‘can’t’ do that.”
His remaining one eye sparkled with greed and desire.
Why did I believe this bastard in the first place. . . .
Kang Yeo-hwa continued, suppressing her rising anger.
“It’s not that I’m not going, it’s that I’m being forced to go.”
Choi Dae-soo did not respond to her grumbling.
โAnyway, you have to go there as my loyal dog.โ
โIโll do it, but when will you keep your promise?โ
โPromise? Oh, right. We have a promise.โ
โYou. . . Don’t tell me you forgot. . .!โ
Kang Yeo-hwa’s expression turned angry again.
But this time, a different kind of murderous intent rose like a needle.
A thick, violent flow of magic power, as if she really intended to kill him.
If there had been a low-level hunter nearby, they would have been crushed by her spirit and unable to breathe.
However, Choi Dae-soo just smiled at her pressure.
To Choi Dae-soo, who had become SS-Rank, Kang Yeo-hwa’s momentum did not feel that great.
โCalm down, I’m sorry. Even the empress has limits to what she can do.โ
“Then speak properly. . .!!”
โAhem, I apologize for joking. I didn’t know you would be this angry. I will keep my promise.โ
Kang Yeo-hwa bit her lip until it bled and calmed her down.
She was not listening to Choi Dae-soo because she was weaker than him.
Even if she was beaten one-sidedly, the Empress Kang Yeo-hwa would charge forward.
However, she couldn’t do that.
To her, the ‘promise’ she had made with Choi Dae-soo was more precious than anything else in the world, and she wouldn’t mind giving up her life for it.
โHey, don’t glare at me like that. At least when it’s private.โ
โ. . . . . . .โ
People considered Kang Yeo-hwa to be Choi Dae-soo’s closest aide and his hunting dog.
An opportunist who chose power for the prosperity of [๐๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ ๐๐จ๐จ๐ง ๐๐ฎ๐ข๐ฅ๐] and her own success.
They called her an S-Rank Hunter who had become the government’s dog.
But that wasn’t the image she ever wanted.
Rather, it was an image she wouldn’t have been able to imagine even in her dreams ten years ago.
โI promise this is the last time.โ
Choi Dae-soo patted her on the shoulder.
โOnce you retrieve the artifact, I will give you what you want.โ
It had been over five years since she fell for that sweet temptation.
She had no choice but to take the poisoned candy.
Even if she died from the poison, it was fine.
No, it was fine even if she had to live as Choi Dae-soo’s dog for the rest of her life.
Just,
“Promise. . . You have to. . . keep it.”
If only she could see him one more time.
If only she could be held in his arms once before she died.
Kang Yeo-hwa swallowed her bursting resentment and anger.
Choi Dae-soo, facing her turbulent emotions, smiled with one side of his mouth twisted.
How could you control them without manipulating them?
“Alright. I’ll let Min Siwoo return to Earth.”
