โSo thatโs what Gold River ordered, right?โ
Yoon Seung-gyu nodded at Min Si-joon’s question.
They had captured and tortured the men who had confronted Siwoo and had extracted information from them.
The information they had so easily spilled was as follows:
[๐๐จ๐ฅ๐ ๐๐ข๐ฏ๐๐ซ ๐๐ฎ๐ข๐ฅ๐] Urgent summons from Ryu Ji-hwan.
ใCatch the awakener who came out of the Tutorial Tower today and bring him to us. He looks just like Min Si-joon. If he resists, you may beat him half to death.ใ
“Ryu Ji-hwan, that son of a b*tch. . . !”
Min Si-joon’s teeth gritted.
He had talked about needing someone with his skills when he was talking to Choi Sung-il.
But in reality, his actions had shown that he knew full well that the person he was after was important to Min Si-joon.
The despicable, snake-like man thought only of using other people’s misfortunes to fill his own belly.
“What should we do?”
Min Si-joon was lost in thought.
If he announced that his older brother had returned alive, it could cause a huge stir.
‘๐๐ซ๐๐ฃ ๐๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ช ๐ ๐-๐๐ฌ๐๐ฃ ๐๐จ ๐ ๐ฃ๐ค๐๐ค๐๐ฎ, ๐๐ ๐พ๐๐ค๐ ๐ฟ๐๐-๐จ๐ค๐ค ๐๐๐ฃ๐๐จ ๐ค๐ช๐ฉ. . . .’
Would that man really welcome his older brother’s return?
Of course not. If he didn’t send assassins after him, it would be a blessing.
Min Si-joon was angry with himself.
He had built up the [๐๐ฆ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐ข๐๐ฅ ๐๐ฎ๐ข๐ฅ๐], acknowledged by all as the best guild in South Korea, from nothing.
Even though it was one of the largest guilds in the world.
Despite all his efforts, Choi Dae-soo’s position and power had grown to such an extent that he could not keep up.
Did he have to become a monster to catch a monster?
Such thoughts bound his weary body like chains.

Min Si-joon came to a conclusion.
He was a top-tier hunter of the same generation as his older brother, and one of the Three Venerables of South Korea.
His enormous experience and monstrous strength had even made him president, so what did it matter?
‘๐๐๐ง๐จ๐ฉ, ๐’๐ก๐ก ๐๐จ๐ ๐ข๐ฎ ๐ค๐ก๐๐๐ง ๐๐ง๐ค๐ฉ๐๐๐ง ๐ฌ๐๐๐ฉ ๐๐ ๐ฌ๐๐ฃ๐ฉ๐จ ๐ฉ๐ค ๐๐ค.’
Min Si-joon rose from his seat.
Due to his urgent business, his brother was currently in the break room with his bodyguards.
What a way to treat his brother, whom he had finally met again.
“For now, just tell [๐๐ก๐ข๐ญ๐ ๐๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐๐ฎ๐ข๐ฅ๐] that you found the awakener and resolved the issue. Don’t say anything to [๐๐จ๐ฅ๐ ๐๐ข๐ฏ๐๐ซ ๐๐ฎ๐ข๐ฅ๐] and Ryu Ji-hwan.”
“What should I say if [๐๐จ๐ฅ๐ ๐๐ข๐ฏ๐๐ซ ๐๐ฎ๐ข๐ฅ๐] contacts us first?”
“They probably won’t. They wouldn’t dare contact us now that they’ve been caught, stirring things up. But if they do contact us, send them these pictures and audio files.”
Min Si-joon said, showing his older brotherโs pictures with the C-rank and D-rank hunters from the [๐๐จ๐ฅ๐ ๐๐ข๐ฏ๐๐ซ ๐๐ฎ๐ข๐ฅ๐] who had ambushed him, kneeling and surrendering.
He had taken them just in case.
“Add that if they don’t want to be the number one trending topic on Naver, we can all get along nicely.”
“Understood.”
Min Si-joon opened the door and was about to go out when he stopped.
He remembered the woman who had watched over his older brother up close.
“And the awakener who came out of the Tutorial, see if you can get her to come to our side as much as possible. I think it would be safer to keep her close.”

“Wow, your place is nice.”
Siwoo entered his younger brother’s house and gave a sincere compliment.
Shiny marble floors, a living room spacious enough to play soccer in, tasteful decorations, and a magnificent view of Seoul’s night sky.
It was the epitome of the rich man’s house that he had only ever seen in old movies or on TV.
The thought that his younger brother had built all of this by himself without anyone’s help made Siwoo’s lips curl up in a proud smile.
ใ๐ป๐๐๐๐๐ฅ! ๐๐ฅ’๐ค ๐ค๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐ฆ๐ก ๐๐๐ฃ๐! ๐๐’๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐ฅ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ก๐ค๐๐ค! ๐พ๐๐ฅ ๐ ๐ฆ๐ฅ ๐ ๐ ๐๐๐ฃ๐, ๐ฝ๐ ๐ ๐! ๐พ๐ ๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐ช๐ ๐ฆ ๐ฆ๐ค๐๐ ๐ฅ๐ !ใ
Ignoring Freeloader’s squawking from inside, Siwoo finished looking around the house.
“You must have worked hard, my little brother, to buy a house all by yourself. Good job.”
“Oh, it’s nothing. . . I just used the skills you taught me.”
Despite Siwoo’s modest compliments, Min Si-joon felt like he was on cloud nine.
He was the person he most wanted to be recognized by in the world.
After all, he had bought this house with the intention of living with his older brother.

Min Si-joon swallowed back the tears that were threatening to fall and smiled.
A house with his older brother.
