Chapter 338 – Sihee Camp (1)

“I will surely repay you for today’s humiliation, so remember it clearly! No matter what I do, only you…”

“…”

“Hee, hee, hee… !!”

Do Ye-hee, who looked at me as if she had seen a ghost and made a terrified expression, cursed me for the last time and hurriedly ran away out of sight.

People who say things like ‘see you next time’ actually exist, though.

In a sense, it was an exit greeting that was just right for that woman.

After ten minutes of firmly imprinting her fear of me on her, the two people who had been watching her unfinished duel with me until the end carefully opened their mouths and approached me.

“Seo, Mr. Seongcheol… ?”

“Are you all right?”

“… Well.”

“Well! What are you going to do if you get retaliated against by that woman later? !”

To be honest, the idea that I was a little overreacting came to my mind belatedly.

That woman was probably thinking of a fair duel, so from the moment she was laid on the floor and tortured, it must have been an unexpected situation.

Besides, since they were deliberately harassed with purely painful acts in a way that did not leave external trauma, in a sense, they might feel humiliated.

If I say this, it may sound like a joke on her part, but what bothered her in the end was my own sensible method of revenge.

Up until this point, I had been harassing Shi-hee in places I didn’t know about, and her attitude of brazenly saying “Surrender” When she lost made me very angry.

From the time I pressed my fist around the pit of my stomach, I must have twisted my fist with one-sided malice without even realizing it.

Even when I grabbed a handful of the inside of my thigh and pinched it, or bent my fingers toward the back of my hand.

It wasn’t a very righteous act in my opinion. At the end, even for such a woman, my heart almost weakened a little.

In the first place, I myself was not the kind of person who held a grudge against Do Ye-hee. It was more of an impromptu torture that I did because I was momentarily feverish seeing him suppressing Si-hee and Eun-byeol.

After my head got cold, I thought it was a bit excessive, but that doesn’t mean I regretted what I did.

Judging from the group of people he has experienced, including his past life, a human who thinks he is the center of the world in that way is not corrected until right before he is beaten properly.

Of course, violence doesn’t solve everything, but most of the general human beings were bound to calm down in the face of direct danger.

“… If you show up again to retaliate against me, then you have to deal with it again. I don’t think I’ll lose just because we meet next time.”

“Last time, you jumped out of a helicopter alone to deal with the Kraken, and in many ways, you really are the type to jump in without thinking about countermeasures.”

“From the moment I saw that woman drowning you and Eunbyeol on the muddy floor, my fever ran high, but I couldn’t control my emotions after I confirmed that it wasn’t just this one time that I had harassed you. I’m sorry if I caused you trouble.”

“… It didn’t bother me at all. I’m just worried about you.”

“Hmm…”

To be honest, she wasn’t afraid of her personal helplessness, but it seemed that it would be difficult to defeat her if Do Ye-hee, who harbored a grudge, rushed to retaliate with the capital power of the Do-kyung group.

The only way to respond would be to reveal the fact that I am the only male Awoken Hunter and become a ‘public figure’ who cannot be touched carelessly.

I was planning to reveal that I was an Awakener only after I had risen to the level of an A-rank hunter, but I might have to be prepared to reveal it at any time if things go wrong.

“If I openly reveal that I am a male Awakened person, wouldn’t even the heir of Dokyung Group not be able to touch me easily? What do you think about it?”

“… If you’re worried about that woman pressuring Seongcheol with Do-kyung’s capital, I’ll make sure you don’t have to worry about that part.”

“How?”

“By using this.”

Saying that, Doshi-hee brought her hand to the chest of the hunter suit he was wearing and slightly turned the second button on her to make a ‘click’ sound.

Immediately, the voice of Do Ye-hee, who had been lying on the floor until just now, began to flow from her hunter’s chest.

“Eh, what is this?! Surrender, surrender! Could it be that the Guild Hunter is so ignorant that he doesn’t even know what the word surrender means?! It means admitting defeat… Turn it off, turn it off?!

Hey, what is this! In a duel, it is only natural for the winner to accept the surrender of the loser… Evil, ah!! Aagh!!」

“It’s a recording that tells you that you lost a duel with a Guild Hunter in an unsightly way and begged for surrender, so it’s probably good enough for negotiations.”

“Uh…”

“Thanks to that woman talking about the combination hunter and all, the work has become much easier. The fact that Seongcheol’s voice was barely used is also great. On the condition that this recording is not released to the outside world, I will not use Dokyung Group’s capital to pressure you.”

“…”

“Most of that woman’s connections are made under that shameless charisma. Perhaps, if the true nature of this ugly mogol is revealed, the other side will also suffer an unexpected blow from their personal connections. She’s a quick calculation girl, so she’ll probably accept my offer.”

“… Hey, since when did you start recording?”

“I always leave the tape recorder on in private situations. Just in case you use it this way.”

… Indeed, is this the way chaebol girls fight for succession?

It was also the moment when he realized that Shi-hee and Eun-byeol were enough to get involved with a Foundation woman.

Well, getting involved with the Foundation Hunters was something that even Si-hee wasn’t planning on doing in the first place. Although it was a precious bond that I had gained thanks to an emergency quest that happened by chance.

When it came to Eunbyeol, it was because of unexpected unexpected events.

After actually meeting that woman who was Do Ye-hee or something, my interest in the whole guild called the foundation cooled. Including her former co-workers who were said to have fallen for such a woman and left Si-hee’s side.

In the first place, if they had gone over to such a carefree and self-centered woman, they wouldn’t have been very good people originally.

After confirming that Do Ye-hee had completely disappeared out of sight, as if she had gone out of the dungeon, she turned her gaze to Si-hee and asked.

“Is that the end of today’s schedule?”

“Yes?”

“You broke your promise yesterday saying something suddenly happened and you couldn’t meet today. Is that the end of meeting that woman?”

“If I had to ask, there was only that woman…”

“That’s fine.”

As I wiped Sihee’s face, which was somewhat dirty from rolling on the floor of the mud bog, I brought up her story about the time she should have spent with me today.

“Then let’s go on a leisurely date as originally planned, even from the afternoon. If that was all, time would probably be empty until tomorrow.”

“…”

Doshi-hee avoids my gaze with a hesitant expression on my proposal.

She put on a worried expression as if thinking about something, and then slowly turned her head toward me and asked cautiously.

“… Are you okay… ?”

“What.”

“Um, I cheated on my promise to Seongcheol the day before… He lied as if he had other urgent schedules… I even made Seongcheol pay attention to my personal problems…”

“What is it?”

“I-I wonder if I have the right to dare go on a date with Mr. Seong-cheol today… Because that’s a question…”

… I was wondering what you were going to talk about, and you were thinking about something that wasn’t very trivial.

To put it bluntly, what Sihee did today was something I didn’t really like either.

If it was the way it was originally, it would have been a duel unexpectedly behind the scenes that I didn’t know about, and the right to inherit the group’s heir would have been blown away.

Of course, to me, Doshi-hee is just a masochist girl, whether or not she has the right to inherit the Dokyung Group, but that doesn’t mean I can’t praise her reckless challenge.

Of course, I had no intention of giving up the fun time with Doshi-hee just for that reason.

In the first place, giving ‘punishment’ was an act that could be done enough while dating, so dating Sihee was an element that could not be given up even to give ‘punishment’.

“That’s why you shouldn’t run away even to be punished. Isn’t that right, Sihee?”

“… That’s right! I-I made a mistake with Seong-chul today too… Burr, you have to be punished…”

“There is still a lot of time left, so think slowly. Or should I go to the place you were originally going to take Si-hee from today’s date? Do you have any plans?”

“… Whoa, I had an original plan. Can I use it now or not…”

With those words, as soon as Si-hee looked away, her exclusive maid answered in a calm voice that she could of course do it.

“I will finish the preparations in advance within an hour. In the meantime, please come and have a leisurely meal with Kim Seong-chul, Master.”

“As expected, there is only Eunbyeol.”

This time, where the hell are you even making preparations in advance to take me?

If possible, I only carefully hoped that it would be finished in Korea.
