Chapter 182 – Kang Seong-Ki, the Strongest Man in Korea (3)

#

I went to the building where the S-class meeting was held with Seulbi Kim.
When I asked if it would be a good idea to sing Sein Kim and Eunbi Kim as well, Seulbi Kim said that it would be better to look at the situation for now.

Kim Sae-in and Kim Eun-bi are hunters who were awakened to Class A in the first place.
If it suddenly appeared that he had become an S-class, it could have caused confusion.
Moreover, since this meeting itself seems to have a political character, it wouldn’t be bad to attend by ourselves and see the atmosphere first, as Seulbi Kim said.
In any case, they were all allies, so there was no disadvantage to joining later or later.
Wouldn’t it be better to start by showing all the cards from the beginning?

“Are you here?”

I looked up at the building, which was more stylish than I thought, and asked.

“Yes, it is a building built for S-rankers. I rarely write except when I’m in a meeting. Employees are hired more than necessary. In a word, it is a waste of tax money.”
“Tax…”

However, it was difficult to say that someone built this building at their own expense.
Perhaps the beginning was to provide a good environment for S-class players and to help them establish strategies for stably conquering S-class dungeons?
It was built for that purpose, and if it was used that way, there was nothing wrong with paying taxes.
However, what if it was just a place where people sometimes gather and hold meetings, and the contents of those meetings were also political?
At least, it seems that meetings were often held when Jo Dong-geun was present, but no one led the meeting after he disappeared.
Until Baek Sung-hoon came out this time.

I followed Seulbi Kim into the building.

The inside of the building is much more refined and spacious.
Smartly dressed security guards greeted us.
It’s a place where S-class hunters gather, but who guards whom?

Seulbi Kim walked towards the information desk.
A female employee there greeted her politely.

“Hello, Hunter.”
“Yes, there is a newcomer today.”
“Yeah?”

The female employee was a little taken aback.
He looked at me and said, “Ah.” And gave a low exclamation.

“Could it be Kang Seonggi-sama…”
“Yes, that’s right.”

Since the license was issued by the Hunter Management Center, I wondered if there would be a record in the data.

“Nice to see you.”

The staff greeted me with a new attitude.

After passing through the front door like that, Seulbi Kim and I went up in her elevator.

Judging by the number of elevator floors, this building had eight floors.
In addition, the scale of each floor was considerable.
Considering that it was built for only ten S-class hunters, there was definitely an exaggerated aspect.
Considering the presence of an S-class hunter, no matter how much it costs, it’s not a tax issue.

The meeting seemed to be held on the top floor.
The purpose of the rest of the floor was unknown.

When the elevator opened, another employee waited and bowed.

“Hello.”
“Hello.”

The top floor could not be said to be very high, but because of its good location, the view through the glass was good.

As I entered the conference room, I saw several faces.

Among them, Kim Hyeon-cheol and Park Hyeon-jun stand out in particular.
Fortunately Seo Na-yeon was nowhere to be seen.

The two made eye contact with me and were startled.
Looks like you didn’t expect me to appear here.

They met each other’s eyes and stood up.

He came to me and pretended to know me.

“See you here, brother.”

Compared to the last time I saw Kim Hyun-cheol, the shameless atmosphere that had flowed all over his face had disappeared.
It might have been only in front of me, but he even looked a little servile.

“Long time no see.”

No matter how dispirited Kim Hyun-cheol looked, it was not as much as Park Hyun-joon.
Still, her complexion looked better than when she appeared together at Seulbi Kim’s house.
Is it because he has a fellow S-class eunuch?
His bond with Kim Hyun-cheol also looked good.

“Yeah.”

I answered simply.
The same goes for my opponent, but I wasn’t a very pleasant person either.
Unless you have no choice but to see them because of a meeting, they are not the faces you purposely want to see.

Kim Hyeon-cheol and Park Hyeon-joon glanced at each other and returned to their seats.

The rest of the Hunters looked this way carefully.
These were faces I knew.
People who have been occasionally mentioned and reflected on the Internet or on TV.

They appeared with Kim Seul-bi and greeted Kim Hyun-chul and Park Hyun-joon, but they didn’t come close to say hello.
In any case, they are humans with arrogance.
It felt like you had to do it first to say hello.
But I didn’t have the heart to introduce myself to them first.

Based on my experiences so far, it was difficult to be sure whether or not he was someone I could open up to and become friendly with, and if I had to say it, it was highly likely that it was the latter.

When Seulbi Kim and I sat side by side, the door opened and a person appeared.

She took a quick look inside her and she came straight to Seulbi Kim.

“Seulbi! How long has it been? How have you been?”
“I haven’t seen you in such a long time, so what~ How have I been? You?”

As you can see, he seemed to be close friends with Seulbi Kim.
I looked at the woman who greeted Gil Seul-bi with a smile.
The face is familiar, but I can’t remember the name.
He appeared at the S-class Hunter meeting, so of course he was an S-rank Hunter.

She looked in my direction and tilted her head.

“This is… Who?”

I attended the S-class Hunter meeting for the first time today.
Among the S-class hunters, there were surprisingly quite a few people who were familiar with me, for good or bad, but those who saw it for the first time would be puzzled.
For a long time, the number of S-class hunters in Korea was fixed.

Seulbi Kim replied, blushing slightly.

“Seonggi-san. You have awakened as an S-class this time.”
“Ah…”

The woman who pretended to know Kim Seul-bi opened her mouth.
However, her reaction was a little strange.
It was rare for an S-class Hunter to awaken anew, but it was not unheard of.
It’s surprising, but not to the point of opening your mouth like this.
Like Seulbi Kim’s shy reaction, it seemed like there was something between these two that I didn’t know about.

“Could this be…?”
“…”

The woman asked, and Kim Seul-bi only lowered her head without answering.

“Didn’t you say you’re not an S-class hunter? Surely you’re asking me…”
“That’s… That’s how it happened.”
“Oh my God.”

Judging from the atmosphere of the conversation, it seemed that Seulbi Kim and the woman were quite close, even if not close friends.
And maybe Seulbi Kim said something about me before.

“Nice to meet you! I’m Park Hye-na!”

It wasn’t until I saw her holding out her hand as she said that that I could remember her name.
In fact, only her face was familiar, and so were the other S-class Hunters I had never met.
I couldn’t remember their names, as I was deliberately not interested in what the Hunter world was doing.

“It’s a strong period.”
“Oh my! The name is…”

Park Hye-na covered her mouth and smiled.
It’s been a while since I’ve seen people react like this to hearing my name.
Before college, my friends teased me quite often.
Because the strong character of the name Sunggi is attached.

“I’m sorry~ But you look really strong. Ho ho ho.”

Park Hye-na was still smiling.
She didn’t seem malicious, just seemed to have a pleasant personality by nature.
In addition, the intention to make fun of Kim Seul-bi is also visible.

She said as she sat down in her seat.

“I was worried because Seulbi didn’t date a man, but now I feel a little relieved as her friend.”

She was a face that I was curious about.
Park Hye-na was also a beauty, even if she did not stand out like Kim Seul-bi.
He had a face and body that anyone could say was pretty, and the aura of an S-class hunter was a bonus.

“Haha.”

As long as Seulbi Kim stayed still, I couldn’t respond to her jokes with a smile.
I don’t know if Seulbi Kim wants to disclose that she’s close with me or not.
It wasn’t strategically right to give the appearance of an open close relationship.
Because the source of my ability was to steal the hearts of women.
For some reason, the more successful women were, the more likely they were to connect with me.

It was not a good thing to dare to expose her power first in a place where her political air flows.

“Shall we eat together later? Of course, the three of us with Seulbi.”

Park Hye-na came to an S-class meeting after a long time, and she seemed to be in a good mood because something interesting had happened.
In general, the atmosphere here would not be very pleasing to those who had no political ambitions.
I’m going to attend because I can’t help it.

If it is not the influence of Dong-geun Cho, it is difficult to bring S-class hunters together.
Even though he sent a message asking everyone to attend, it was difficult to see Baek Sung-hun as having such an influence.
The reason most of the S-class hunters showed their faces was probably because of the upcoming raid on the S-class dungeon.
The details of the attack will be decided here.
Since Jo Dong-geun, who would have been the leader of the attack, was missing, there was a possibility that new content would be updated.
