“hold on.”
Jin-Woo blanketed the mouthpiece of the phone together with his hand and asked Ahn Sahng-Min.
“in case you nonetheless can’t believe it, why don’t you communicate to him individually?”
Ahn Sahng-Min wiped the cold sweat forming on his brow and shook his head.
“good day, Jin-Ho? It’s pleasant. thanks. I’m hanging up now.”
“ok, hyung-nim. so long.”
After finishing the call, Jin-Woo noticed that the appearance on Ahn Sahng-Min’s face had modified absolutely now.
certainly, Ahn Sahng-Min’s eyes have been trembling non-forestall.
‘Even before their Guild is established, Yujin has promised 30 billion because the contract signing rate?? after which, the second one son of Chairman Yu Myung-Hwan keeps to use honorifics, too?’
Ahn Sahng-Min became now deeply mired in uncertainty and confusion.
“That, that, that is… I, I have to say that, this kind of massive quantity is, nicely, uh, well past my ability to… if you just provide me some time, i will communicate to the better-u.s.a.within the Guild and then….”
Jin-Woo suddenly reduce him off.
“if so, our discussion ends right here.”
Ahn Sahng-Min have become speechless.
His head drooped barely, as his head become speedy packed with the purpose for this failure.
‘in the end, we simply didn’t have sufficient facts.’
Being too hasty introduced about this failure.
After he picked up at the fragrance of this massive jackpot, he were given too excited and forgot to transport in a extra cautious and organized way.
If he had learned of what Yujin’s provide was like, get the entire backing of his Guild, and move about his enterprise step by step, then…..
‘For now, I want to file this to the Guild grasp.’
If he changed into a Hunter that Chairman Yu Myung-Hwan become inclined to position forward 30 billion, then possibly his price may be over 50 billion, no, one hundred billion, rather.
It turned into not too past due.
‘If i get the promise of the Guild’s complete backing, dig out all the records on Seong Jin-Woo, and come out swinging even more difficult, then…’
It become at this factor that Jin-Woo’s voice may be heard.
“I need to ask you about some thing.”
Ahn Sahng-Min raised his head.
Jin-Woo become no longer smiling.
The weather had warmed up nicely with the hint of Spring these days, but for a few motive, the surrounding air felt chillier than typical.
Gulp.
simply as Ahn Sahng-Min swallowed some dry saliva, Jin-Woo requested him a question with a low, heavy voice.
“what number of human beings recognise approximately me?”
“It’s… It’s handiest me at the moment. i was too hectic to scout you so I didn’t even forestall to file to my superiors yet.”
truly, there was one more character. Hyun Ki-Cheol, his subordinate but additionally his proper-hand guy.
Ahn Sahng-Min hid the presence of Hyun Ki-Cheol in the mean time. He turned into worried that Jin-Woo may get actual unhappy if he learned that there had been people in preference to one.
but, Jin-Woo voice became even chillier and perilous than earlier than.
“For the sake of accept as true with, permit’s no longer deceive each different, we could?”
Ahn Sahng-Min started panicking visibly now.
‘what’s this? Did he attain a few statistics on us earlier than coming right here?’
If that had been the case, then matters would possibly get worse if he persevered to argue that he changed into the best one. He didn’t even want to imagine what would appear subsequent.
‘I gotta be sincere here.’
the connection among a Hunter and a Guild was pretty just like that of an entertainer and the skills corporation.
They may not be able to sign a contract right now, but by using keeping an awesome dating, some thing could take place in the future.
on the naked minimal, he have to now not reason friction with some other Hunter. That became one of the iron-clad policies of the second one division.
Ahn Sahng-Min fast opened his mouth.
“definitely, certainly one of my subordinates also is aware of approximately this matter. I’m telling you the honest truth.”
Jin-Woo nodded his head.
‘certainly….’
It became as he suspected.
All these items, there have been too many for one individual to address – investigating him, observing him, and calling him, too.
most importantly, what made Jin-Woo positive of this truth become the timing of the cellphone name. As quickly as he become near his place, Ahn Sahng-Min referred to as him with such great timing.
‘that means, someone changed into ready near my domestic and called him as soon as I confirmed up.’
This guy desired to meet Jin-Woo as soon as viable but it’d be terrible if Yu Jin-Ho observed out inside the procedure, in spite of everything.
‘nevertheless, it’s not the complete White Tiger Guild.’
He should inform from that in advance response, returned whilst he changed into speaking approximately 50 billion gained. Ahn Sahng-Min become so overtly flustered when an amount of cash he couldn’t cope with become added up.
If he was being ordered round with the aid of the upper management, then he’d at least try giving them a name after listening to that quantity, didn’t depend whether or not that quantity become even viable or not.
That was why Jin-Woo suspected that a small group including two, maybe 3, people had been concerned right here, and lo and behold, the man or woman in price confessed to it being handiest .
‘What a relief.’
Jin-Woo clearly didn’t need to complicate the matter any further than vital. two human beings were inside his ability to manipulate.
If he left them by myself like this, no doubt they would preserve to bother him down the road. That become why there has been a definite want to warn the alternative birthday party, back down him for appropriate.
Jin-Woo opened his mouth.
“really, I additionally refused Yujin’s gives.”
Jin-Woo’s explosive, sudden revelation!!
Ahn Sahng-Min became even extra greatly surprised than before.
“Pardon me?!”
It became right at this second, Jin-Woo all of sudden vanished from the spot.
“What?!”
Ahn Sahng-Min hurriedly stood up from his chair.
He quick scanned the interior of the cafe, but couldn’t spot Jin-Woo everywhere.
‘What turned into that?? should he have moved faster than the attention can see?!’
Ahn Sahng-Min was too flustered and realised that someone had grabbed his shoulder from the side quite belatedly.
“Heok.”
all the hair on his returned stood up straight away.
“Don’t turn around.”
a chilly voice came from his side.
Jin-Woo, who were sitting across him until then, had vanished with out making a valid and was now standing right subsequent to him, nonetheless no longer seen to the bare eye.
‘S-Stealth??’
cold sweat drops shaped on Ahn Sahng-Min’s brow.
‘ought to…. may want to he be…. angry at me….?’
Hunters had been, in fashionable, monsters.
He knew this nicely, due to the fact he got to observe them from a near vantage factor every single day.
That became why he became constantly terrific-respectful in the direction of them.
‘Did me spying on him and following him around purpose an issue here? need to i have asked safety from the Guild earlier than coming here? No, hold on, no person knows what his rating is, so how am i able to request protection, then….?’
His mind have become messy and his coronary heart pounded relentlessly. Even the sound of him swallowing his saliva echoed round too loudly in his ears.
Jin-Woo spoke, almost in a hushed whisper.
“sit down down slowly. I don’t need to scare you.”
Ahn Sahng-Min slowly nodded his head.
‘but, you’re masses scary sufficient already…’
He then slowly sat back down on his chair. Jin-Woo revealed himself and settled down right next to him.
‘proper…’
Jin-Woo’s phrases of now not wanting to scare Ahn Sahng-Min sounded about right. His eyes while he said he desired to ask something, had been cold sufficient to chill the encompassing air.
If Ahn Sahng-Min had to stare into those eyes even as being attentive to Jin-Woo’s words, then he would possibly have experienced what his coronary heart falling to the pit of his belly felt like.
‘You’re being considerate towards me, is that it?’
Of path, he couldn’t get the thoughts of Jin-Woo being a completely scary guy out of his head.
inside the period in-between, Jin-Woo opened his mouth.
“The motive why I refused Yujin’s gives is simple. I’m now not making plans to enroll in any Guilds in the interim.”
two guys conversed at the same time as staring forward, by no means locking their eyes as soon as.
“S-so that’s the way it became.”
“additionally….”
Jin-Woo took a 2d before continuing on.
“I don’t need to see the range of folks who recognise approximately me boom.”
What he wanted here turned into rather simple.
He didn’t need to enroll in a Guild, and he didn’t need anybody talking approximately him.
Ahn Sahng-Min fast understood the ones points.
but, there has been one factor he turned into nonetheless curious about.
“T-then, why are you continue to being observed by means of Mister Yu Jin-Ho?”
“He’s supporting me out on a few personal matters. He’s the handiest one that is aware of approximately my Re-Awakening. additionally, I agree with he’s a pal that i will accept as true with. That’s why I asked him for a favour. And so….”
Jin-Woo’s voice became heavier still.
“So, if I start listening to matters approximately me, can i assume that it came from you, chief Ahn Sang-Min, or your subordinate?”
It’d been some time due to the fact Jin-Woo stopped grabbing his shoulder, but Ahn Sahng-Min felt like he became being overwhelmed by way of the younger man’s words.
‘He’s not placing on airs, either.’
Why did he experience this way?
Ahn Sahng-Min changed into so sure of the fact that Jin-Woo turned into completely capable of harming him.
‘My gut intuition whilst comparing humans is almost usually proper.’
Jin-Woo survived several devastating, frightening incidents.
Wasn’t there a announcing approximately burying the matters of the dungeon inner a dungeon? nobody knew simply what type of things Jin-Woo did internal the ones dungeons.
‘On pinnacle of that, this man possesses the Stealth talent, too…..’
managing the Stealth skill become noticeably difficult. If the ability holder determined to dedicate a crime, he’d be capable of off all and sundry without so much as leaving at the back of a unmarried clue.
such things as CCTV, safety guards and alarm gadget would all end up totally vain towards such someone.
A thick strand of cold sweat rolled down the side of Ahn Sahng-Min’s brow.
‘Who knew he ought to use Stealth….?’
exquisite abilties, and even a unprecedented talent, too.
It become now not for nothing that Yujin came up with a suggestion of 30 billion.
‘They aren’t ones to begin a dropping enterprise deal, certainly.’
Thump, thump.
Ahn Sahng-Min’s heart persevered to overcome in pleasure even though he turned into trembling in worry. His lips parted with notable problem.
“I-I’ll never speak about this be counted ever again. I’ll make sure that Ki-Cheol… No, my subordinate will maintain his mouth shut as well.”
retaining the whole thing hush-hush became something Ahn Sahng-Min additionally wanted, too. Heck, he in all likelihood would’ve requested it himself first!
An wonderful Hunter no longer affiliated with anyone!
there was no reason to boom the competition by means of spreading the rumour around, nor did Ahn Sahng-Min want to proportion the glory and recognition by means of telling other people, either.
‘certainly, although, the biggest cause being I’m too afraid of him and don’t want him as my enemy….’
“I’ll accept as true with you, leader Ahn.”
With those words, the presence beside Ahn Sahng-Min disappeared completely. He speedy took a go searching.
It changed into as though Ahn Sahng-Min fell out of a extraordinary measurement, because the atmosphere in the cafe became as an alternative serene.
“Huh…..”
Ahn Sahng-Min remained speechless. He may want to best pat his pounding chest down.
It changed into here that Hyun Ki-Cheol bumped into the cafe.
He’d been staring at the 2 men thru the window from the out of doors, and as soon as Jin-Woo completely disappeared from the view, hurriedly entered the cafe to check up on his superior officer.
“leader!”
Ahn Sahng-Min’s complexion become negative. Hyun Ki-Cheol requested, his voice full of fear.
“What occurred? Did it now not workout with Seong Jin-Woo?”
Ahn Sahng-Min’s trembling palms controlled to drag out a cigarette. whilst sliding it among his lips, he made his reply.
“hello, Ki-Cheol-ah… I assume, we just bumped into a far larger jackpot than our preliminary estimates.”
He clearly needed to scout that guy.
That become the best line of concept in his head. luckily, there has been nonetheless a threat.
It was then, Hyun Ki-Cheol lightly grasped Ahn Sahng-Min’s wrist.
“Uhm…. Pardon me, leader.”
Ahn Sahng-Min raised his head just before he may want to mild the cigarette up.
“Yeah?”
Hyun Ki-Cheol took a go searching, then carefully whispered.
“this is a no smoking area.”
Ahn Sahng-Min slowly overwhelmed the cigarette.
“You dumba*s…..”
As soon as he were given home, Jin-Woo summoned his repute Window.
