Chapter 330 – Uninvited Guest (3)

“What, what nonsense…”

Do Ye-hee instinctively spit out the denial at the shocking remark, but Do Ye-hee replies with a relaxed smile, as if not caring about such a reaction.

As she was already confident in the unidentified hunter her own sister was meeting, she fully expected this kind of reaction to pop out.

Do Ye-hee leaned toward the front of the table, fluttering her red sidetail as if there was no use in denying it.

“I hope Sihee doesn’t drag the story out too long. I’m already certain that you, Si-hee, are making someone from the union into a new network.”

“Um, on what grounds…”

“Well. Isn’t this reaction you just showed me as a solid proof?”

“…”

“Of course I am joking. There’s no way you could have come to a random conclusion without any feelings.”

I wanted to say right away that I would do it without hesitation if it was to torment myself.

To say such a thing was to prove her own agitation, so Doshi-hee quietly shut her mouth and grasped the situation.

“It must have been after checking the records of your visit to the shared dungeon a while ago, Sihee.”

“…”

“Si-hee, who is busy just building a position within the foundation right now, isn’t it a general judgment that you waste a day visiting a shared dungeon?”

“I used shared dungeons often before, but based on that…”

“Because you act illogically, you get caught up in ‘just like that’. If you wanted to avoid being noticed, you should have been more careful.”

Certainly, this action he committed was, in many ways, an unmistakable mistake.

Intoxicated with the desire to have a hunting date with Mr. Seong-chul in the dungeon with his back, he didn’t pay attention and his tail was stepped on.

Looking back, it was clearly his mistake, but Doshi-hee also had his own excuses.

Because, in the past, she had a history of using the Foundation’s dedicated dungeon and shared dungeon alternately as needed.

Even if she entered a shared dungeon and met someone from another guild, she didn’t expect Do Ye-hee’s suspicions to reach this far.

However, as soon as Do Ye-hee, who has a much more thorough personality than she expected, checked her city-hee’s dungeon activity records, she was able to find out that her sister had visited the public dungeon ‘for no reason’.

It soon led to Doshi-hee’s external hunter network, which he had been suspicious of before.

“There is no way that smart Si-hee entered a ‘normal’ dungeon like a black mud swamp without thinking, and if so, it would be a reasonable judgment to assume that there is something that can only be found in it, right?”

“… It’s a leap. I just hunted with Eunbyeol in a different dungeon to change my mood…”

“Then, why didn’t I attend the Ariel Foundation dinner hosted by Baumedia at the same time that day? If the purpose was to change my mood, I would have been able to finish my work before evening and come back.”

“… That, that…”

“Perhaps it’s because Si-hee thought that the connections he gained from the union were more important than the dinner, right? Otherwise, there is no explanation.”

It was only after listening to her there that Doshi-hee was able to realize that her sister, Do Ye-hee, had already grasped almost all the circumstances.

She just didn’t say it because she didn’t have to say it, but she had already come to her own conclusion based on sufficient grounds for why she came to see her.

The reason she came to see herself was that she was just to be sure of the decision she had made.

I wasn’t sure how far Do Ye-hee’s information power continued, but the more she mixed her words, the more she noticed that she was at a disadvantage to herself.

Thinking that if she couldn’t refute properly, it would be better to hide her expression and remain silent, and Doshi-hee quietly lowered her head and shut her mouth.

“Maybe he was the one who took care of the Kraken at the villa in Indonesia, right? The A+ rank swordsman that even her sister couldn’t find.”

“…”

“I never imagined that I was from a union, not a company. I didn’t know that the arrogant Si-hee would be preoccupied with building connections with the insignificant losers of the Guild.”

“He’s not like an insignificant loser… !”

“I’m not done talking yet.”

In response to her remarks that seemed to insult Kim Seong-cheol, words to defend him came out reflexively, but Doh Ye-hee’s mouth was immediately shut by Do Ye-hee’s continued words.

“Yes, it would be wrong to say that I was a loser. It would be a bit inappropriate as a title to modify the great man who defeated the Kraken and protected the private property of the Dokyung Group.”

“…”

“So, as the representative of Dokyung Group, I think I should give thanks to the person who protected private property. Sihee, don’t you think so too?”

The intense gaze directed toward him was enough to evoke a familiar sense of déjà vu even if he didn’t meet directly.

His terrifying eyes seemed to see through everything from head to toe, as if his entire body was being stripped naked.

There was no point in lying or making excuses anymore.

The girl who already has a perfect understanding of everything about her, even if she adds her own white lies to her, it won’t affect her as much as the pellets of her.

So in the end, Doshi-hee had no choice but to indirectly admit the existence of Kim Seong-cheol to her own half-sister.

“… I’ve already thanked you enough, so there’s no need for you to come forward.”

“Sihee, did you say that you would like to thank your sister as the ‘representative of Dokyung Group’? Sihee, aren’t you the representative of our group yet?”

“You’re not really the representative of Dokyung Group…”

“But Sihee, wouldn’t one of you and your two sisters be taking over the Dokyung Group someday? Then, of course, my sister also has an obligation to express her gratitude to that person.”

It was a superficial sophistry that could be refuted with a slight opening of the mouth, but Si-hee could not bear to express resistance to her words.

It was because he knew from many experiences that if he rebelled against Do Ye-hee’s words, the result would not be better.

As soon as Doh Shi-hee shuts her mouth with her worries, Do Ye-hee prepared in advance as if she had expected it, and then took out her appeasement.

To carry out her main purpose today she visited her sister’s room.

“It would be better if you introduced me in your line. I’m the only one in my group who still knows that your new colleague is from the ‘guild.'”

“…”

“As far as I can tell, it’s ‘not yet’.”

“… What does that mean?”

“It means that I should not make the employees investigate behind the scenes and spread rumors about him within the Dokyung group. I also found out which guild he was from, so from now on, I can find him within three days at the latest.”

Hearing her words as if they were not bluffing at all, Doshi-hee closed his mouth again and was engulfed in worry.

Regarding her pottery’s intelligence, she had already experienced it countless times.

As her half-sister said, she insisted on keeping her silence here, but it was only a matter of time before Kim Seong-cheol’s presence was discovered by her.

I’m just afraid of how many people will become known to my own little Kim Seong-chul in the process.

Do Ye-hee’s last appeasement was conveyed to Do Shi-hee, who did not get an answer.

“Sister, she is always giving you options. Does she know that for sure?”

“…”

“Si-hee, I can’t help it if you want to remain silent. She has no choice but to show the power of her sister to her sister who made her foolish judgment.”

“… If I introduce you, is that the end?”

“Well? Wouldn’t that be up to the child to do?”

Again, it was this pattern.

Every time she takes away her comrades from herself, Do Ye-hee always makes contact with her person in this way.

‘Didn’t I say Hae Na from the New Year’s group? If he really thought of you as a colleague, would he have fallen for my party at my suggestion? He says all sorts of strange things.’

‘Eunseo? Alas, the lady of the torch group? The torch is ruined, so there is no need to carry her around anymore. It’s been a rough year from the start. … If so, why did you take it away? Well, Sihee, you don’t have to know for the rest of your life.’

‘No matter how urgent it is, stop hanging out with idiots like Dongshin. How many times are you going to disgrace Dokyung’s group? I drive away dung flies once or twice, but it’s because I don’t have eyes for people like that.’

Tears began to well up in the corners of Doshi-hee’s eyes as she recalled the memory of losing all of her colleagues except for Eun-byeol, who was active as a gold nari.

Because she had too many things to protect, she couldn’t resist Do Ye-hee’s stubbornness.

“According to the information I gathered, it seems that I was going to meet that person tomorrow at the shared dungeon. Is my guess correct, Si-hee?”

“… Is it so.”

“Okay. Coincidentally, since I also don’t have any other plans for tomorrow, it’s been a while since I’ve had to do party activities with my Sihee? Just to meet Si-hee’s new friend.”

“…”

“Don’t even think about running away with some lame excuse. This is not a proposal, but a notice.”

“… If you’re done with your business, leave immediately.”

“Yes, yes.”

Unlike Do Ye-hee, who woke up with a cool expression as if she had said everything, Do Do-hee’s head fell to the floor in the shadow of the table.

“Oh, and ventilate your room. A musty, unpleasant smell vibrates throughout the room. Could it be that you brought a man into the room without my knowledge?”

She disappeared until the end, picking Doshi-hee’s chest, and slowly moved away beyond the hallway of her mansion.

The blonde girl who was left in her room held her breath silently, her tears falling like chicken droppings onto her own lap.
