Chapter 194 – Kang Seong-Ki, the Strongest Player in Korea (15)

Baek Seong-hoon did as I said.
He seemed to be calling right away and doing an identity check.

He looked at Sein Kim and Eunbi Kim with surprised eyes.

With his arms drooping, he chewed and spat.

“That’s right…”
“If there is nothing more to say, we move on to the agenda quickly. We are all busy people.”

Baek Sung-hoon’s face turned pale.
As usual, he was confident of victory, and that thought was evident in his expression.

However, the new variable seemed to complicate his mind.

Then someone raised their hand.

“I object.”

He was a tall man, Hunter, with curly hair.
I knew it was Mr. Kang, but I couldn’t remember his name.

Anyway, he objected and said:

“This time we gathered to cast a vote to select a leader. It’s an extension of the last meeting. If so, it would be right not to give the right to vote to the two people who are attending this meeting for the first time today. I think that will be a fair vote.”

What bullshit is that again?

When I looked at her with a frown, Seo Na-yeon jumped up first.

“What bullshit? All S-class hunters in the S-class meeting have the right to vote, which country’s logic is that they have the right to vote just because they are here for the first time today?”
“Don’t raise your voice. Please, let’s be polite.”
“What? This greasy lump of fat! Who wouldn’t know that you fell for Baek Sung-hoon out of greed for real estate?”
“What, what do you mean by that again?”

The ponytail that was pointed out by Seo Na-yeon was taken aback.
I didn’t know the details of the situation, but it seemed that Seo Na-yeon was right.
I was so obviously embarrassed that even a person like me who didn’t know anything started to wonder if he was right.

“Keep quiet.”

Baek Sung-hoon smiled again as if he had found a hole to escape from.

“What Kang Dong-kwon said is correct. The purpose of this meeting is to reach an agreement on the conclusions that could not be reached last time, with a delay of a few days. Newcomers won’t know what it is, so it seems appropriate to leave out this vote.”
“Are these crazy now? Whoever wants!”

Seo Na-yeon argued, still holding a blood vessel on her neck.

Seeing her give it so hard, it seemed that her prejudice against her in me was broken a little.

Baek Sung-hoon ignored Seo Na-yeon and asked me.

“What do you think, Mr. Kang? Aren’t you confident you can beat me without the votes of the two newcomers?”

The intent of the question was clear.
Provocation against me.

I wouldn’t be shaken by a provocation like this, but I decided to let it go just once.

“It can’t be. Who loses to drug lords?”
“What, what?”

Baek Seong-hoon, who heard my words, stumbled while standing.
If it had been groundless, he would have been taken aback, but just like Kang Dong-kwon a moment ago, Baek Sung-hoon’s expression clearly had a stabbed corner.

“Aren’t those S-rankers talking too harshly?”

Another Hunter on Baek Sung-hoon’s side said to me.
Perhaps they were desperate too.

Baek Seong-hoon must seize power so that they can enjoy the benefits too.

I smiled at him.

“It’s a joke, a joke. Or are you really a drug addict?”

Baek Sung-hoon’s face turned red.

“Hey, stop it. Seonggi Kang, this is your second meeting, so you may not be able to adapt, but S-level colleagues should respect each other. Voting is voting and basic manners should be followed, right?”
“It sounds ridiculous for someone trying to win votes in a poor way, but I get it. I agree. Let’s vote without the two newcomers.”

“Brother!”

Seo Na-yeon, who had been standing up for me, looked at me in embarrassment.

However, when he saw me relaxed, he seemed to think that something was a little strange.
She, moreover, even Kim Seul-bi had a confident expression on her face.

Next to her, Kim Eun-bi just asked me quietly.

“Brother, are you okay?”

I nodded her head to Eunbi Kim and said to Baek Sung Hoon.

“Let’s start.”

Seo Na-yeon said, “A-ssi!” He let out an indignant voice and sat down.
All she could do was open her eyes to Park Hyeon-jun and Kim Hyeon-chul.

“OK.”

Baek Sung-hoon declared with a refreshing expression.

“Now, without further ado, let’s go ahead with the voting.”

Two pictures of faces from the last meeting appeared on the screen.
It was embarrassing to see my face reflected on the big screen.

“I am number 1, Mr. Kang Seong-gi is number 2. Please choose the person you want to be the leader.”

Voting started in the same way as last time.

Each time the hunters pressed the button on the device, the number at the bottom of the picture went up.
The number of people voting was the same.

Baek Seong-hun had a relaxed face, but when the number reached 4 to 4, he was embarrassed.
I could see that my prediction was correct, as his gaze went toward Park Hyeon-joon and Kim Hyeon-cheol.

He would have approached those two first, and Park Hyeon-joon and Kim Hyeon-cheol said they would vote for Baek Sung-hoon, but at least one of them betrayed them.

And…

The number under my picture became 5 first.

“This…”

Baek Sung-hoon’s eyebrows moved to the center.

6.

The result was 6 to 4.
The rest of the people voted the same as last time, but only Park Hye-na chose Baek Sung-hoon and this time voted for me.

“Yeah!”

When Seo or Yeon, who was worried about her, got the results she wanted, she jumped up and clenched her fists.
On the other hand, the three hunters, including Baek Sung-hoon, did not manage their facial expressions.

“These bastards!!”

Baek Seong-hoon blatantly spit out disgust while looking at Park Hyeon-jun and Kim Hyeon-chul.
The two avoided eye contact and pretended not to know, and Seo Na-yeon jumped to her feet.

“What? What do you have to say to them?”

After threatening to expose the eunuchs, he goes out to protect them this time.
In a situation where it is unclear who will win if a real fight breaks out.
Of course I was behind her, but it was clear that she didn’t care.
What can I say?
There was definitely a corner that was reliable as the same side.

“The results are in.”

I got up.

I walked to the podium and stood next to Baek Sung-hoon.

“Thank you for choosing me who is lacking.”
“You…”

Baek Sung-hoon glared at me like he was going to kill me.

“Be polite with the same S-class hunters.”
“Fuck! Like fuck!”

Baek Sung-hoon seemed to have lost his reason.

“Nonsense! I can’t admit it!”

He punched the large monitor.

Kwajangchang!

Naturally, the monitor hit by the S-class Hunter’s fist shattered.

“You’d better be careful.”

Lastly, Baek Seong-hun, who said that to me, strode toward the door.
The three hunters who chose him also jumped up.
They also followed Baek Seong-hun out the door.

‘As expected.’

I expected that Baek Seong-hun would not accept the result.
Because he tried to stand at the top of the Korean hunter world in name and reality with this vote.
As he said, he wanted to become the vanguard of the upcoming raid on the S-class dungeon, but he didn’t come out for a cause.

“Thank you to those who voted for me.”

I glanced around the conference room.

Except for Park Hyeon-joon, Kim Hyeon-cheol, and Seo Na-yeon, everyone was close to me.
Also, there are people who do not need to have a meeting here.

“Today’s meeting will end here. We will discuss the S-class dungeon raid later.”
“Brother!”

Seo Na-yeon said as if pleading.

“Are you just going today? Have you seen it in a long time?”
“I’ll contact you.”
“Yes?”

Seo Na-yeon’s face turned red at my words.

He shouted into my back as I headed for the door.

“I promised! You really need to get in touch!”

Like the three hunters who followed Baek Sung-hoon and colluded with him, Seulbi Kim, Hyena Park, Sein Kim, and Eunbi Kim followed me.

#

“It’s really not long now.”

I ate at the hotel restaurant with four women.

She said that while citing the remaining period until Seulbi Kim cleared the S-class dungeon.

“What kind of place is Hongcheon Dungeon?”
“The three dungeons in Korea are generally similar in difficulty. It’s not easy because it’s S-rank, but since we attack often, the pattern is already out.”

However, only Kim Seul-bi and Park Hye-na knew the pattern.

It was the first time for the other two girls, including me, to enter an S-class dungeon.
And as we saw at the conference hall, it became difficult to expect cooperation from other S-class hunters.
That means we have to attack each other.

The attack date was only a few days away.

“It will be fun~”

As Eunbi Kim cut her steak, she spoke like a child about to go on a picnic.

“I am also looking forward to it. I would like to know as much detail as possible. Monsters, attack routes, and things to farm.”

Kim Sae-in seemed to be looking forward to the first S-class dungeon he entered.
It was safe to say that she was the most advanced among us in terms of her awareness as a hunter and her passion for raiding dungeons.

First of all, I briefly informed Choi Yoon-mi of the results of today’s meeting.
As if I had been waiting, the reply came soon.
The contents of several hearts were drawn as follows.

– Good for you! Yeonhwa will love it!!
