Chapter 236 – Kang Seong-Gi, the Strongest Player in Korea (57)

#

When she returns to the hotel and goes down to her lab, as expected, Kim Yeon-hwa is immersed in her work.
No matter how quickly she ended the conversation and came back, the time was now closer to eleven at night.
Still, should I say that she’s glad she came back today?
If it was later, she would feel sorry for Kim Yeon-hwa.
However, Kim Yeon-hwa was showing with her whole body that my worries were unfounded.

The energy she radiated while engrossed in her work was transmitted to me as well.
I also have the same kind of mana as her.
Her energy touched what was inside me.

The desire to attach myself to her workbench with her also crept up, but it was too late for that.
Even if it was a day off tomorrow, the symbolic meaning could not be ignored.
Ladder climb.
Its condition was that one person come to my room every night.
Wouldn’t it be a bit like that if the date changed?

“Mr. Yeonhwa.”

When I called out to her in front of her door, Kim Yeon-hwa raised her head slightly.
Perhaps if her regular people were doing her thing with as much concentration as she did, she wouldn’t have heard my voice.
However, people with hunter abilities have excellent hearing that is incomparable to ordinary people.
Moreover, Kim Yeon-hwa and I were deeply connected to each other, so there was an aspect that allowed us to notice each other’s presence more quickly.

“Mr. Seonggi…”

Kim Yeon-hwa looked this way while wearing her work goggles and gloves.
When she saw the soft smile on her lips, she knew that she was beautiful.
She doesn’t have a discriminatory idea about her job, but she looks like a waste to just make something while stuck in a lab.
If she was well-dressed and had talent in that area, she would have looked more than enough to become an actress.
I have a good height and style, but I’m not skinny, so I’d rather be an actor than a model.

Speaking of that, there was another beauty who had awakened the ability to make equipment and weapons for hunters.
She called her on the way back to her hotel with her, and although she was taking care of her sick friend, she decided it was okay to take a few days off, so she decided to come to the hotel.
It’s late today, so I told her to come tomorrow and sent her address.

This wasn’t news I was alone in knowing.
Na-Ri Choi was familiar with her Kim Yeon-Hwa, and she aspired to collaborate with her as well as him.
She had heard something similar from Kim Yeon-hwa.
Although they had never actually met and worked together, the two were aware of each other’s existence from a distance and hoped to work together if there was an opportunity someday.
If I hadn’t thought about setting up a company and the girls hadn’t formed a relationship with me, and time passed as it was, the two of them could never have worked together.
Because both of them were seriously considering going abroad.
In addition, Nari Choi had a bad feeling towards Hunter because of her friend problem, and she had declared that she would never design equipment and weapons for Hunter.

The thought that I had connected them made me feel happy.

“You came quickly.”

Kim Yeon-hwa said as she took off her goggles.
She could have put her head down for hours and worked, but she wasn’t breaking a sweat.
In terms of parts management, the temperature of the laboratory itself was kept low, but basically Hunter has good stamina.
No matter how much a technician is, he has abilities comparable to an S-class, so I thought he would have the physical strength of a B-class combat hunter, even if he didn’t know about A-rank.

“Yes, the story ended quickly. How is your work? Are things going well?”
“It’s relatively smooth, but it’s nothing compared to when I was working with Seonggi. I left the part that needs help. No matter how much I worry about it, it’s something I can’t solve on my own.”

A top-notch technician coolly acknowledged his shortcomings.
It would be painful to admit that he lacked his skills if his original skills were poor.
However, Yeonhwa Kim had never worked with a technician or designer of a similar level to herself.
Didn’t she say that there were many times when working together was rather frustrating?
Working with her from her point of view would have been a good time to resolve that kind of stuffiness.
It was my first time doing a work like this, so there is no standard, but Kim Yeon-hwa and her chemistry matched well, so I immersed myself in the work happily without realizing that time was passing for hours.

“Well done. I want to do it too, but I think it’s a bit late. Would you like to go to the room with me?”

Kim Yeon-hwa sneakily checked the time with the clock hanging on the wall.

“Oh. It’s really past eleven o’clock. I thought Sung-gi came back in an hour or two.”
“Haha.”

Kim Yeon-hwa took off her overalls and took off her gloves as well.

“I’ll go to my room and take a shower. I will knock, so please open the door.”

Saying that, she did not look like an engineer who was already absorbed in her work.
She was blushing with embarrassment.

“Yeah. Are you hungry? Do you want me to bring you something?”
“That’s fine. Actually, I want to eat something sweet.”
“I see.”

I opened the door and stood holding the doorknob.
Kim Yeon-hwa smiled and passed me and left the lab.

The silhouette of her walking ahead was clearly visible even though the clothes weren’t tight.
When she thought that she would have sex with her soon, she naturally felt heavy between her crotch.

I was a bit late, but I called the staff to make a dessert and bring it to me.
Considering the number of staff here and the quality, ordering food, no matter how late, would not be something to be sorry about.
Rather, the fact that there are few guests during the year.
In addition, given that the number is small, it can be said that the working environment is overwhelmingly better than that of general hotels.

However, dealing with S-class hunters was completely different from dealing with regular customers.
It’s not just a metaphor, it’s something you could lose your life if you didn’t do it.
Just by violently releasing mana from an S-class hunter, ordinary people could have left aftereffects that they could suffer for the rest of their lives.

Even in that sense, KF was not a customer that the staff would dislike.
Even if it’s not necessarily an S-class hunter-only hotel, even if you’re a regular hotel guest, you’re kind and have good manners.
I could see that the staff’s expressions were much more comfortable than when we first entered the room.

I didn’t know if they were aware that a different woman came into my room every night.
Still, it didn’t bother me much.

There is an extremely small chance that what an S-class hunter is doing becomes a rumor and leaks out.

Even if I didn’t have a lot of interest in the world of hunters, I didn’t know that the reality of hunters would be such a mess.
Especially S-class hunters.

They were like walking nuclear bombs.
That wasn’t an exaggeration, considering the harm they could do to the world if they set their minds to it.

In fact, didn’t Kang Dong-kwon and Han Cheol-gwan, etc., Try to lead negotiations on the enactment of dungeon privatization laws in an advantageous way by delaying the attack on S-class dungeons?
It was the attitude that it didn’t matter much if a dungeon break occurred.
Rather, it was that it might be helpful in the sense that the importance of S-class hunters could be imprinted on the general public.

I shook my head thinking about that.

It’s a good thing Baek Sung-hoon died.
And it was a good choice to go to Kang Ah-jin’s house and meet Oksana today.

Her short conversation gave me a sense of what kind of person she was and what kind of life she had lived.
And about what happened that day.

What I was most worried about was that the South American soul mage organization might be connected to this incident.
But fortunately, it happened while Baek Seong-hoon was working alone, completely independent of them.
It happened because he realized the possibility of becoming stronger and became obsessed with it.

The pleasure he must have felt when absorbing a Class A soul was quite understandable.
S-class hunters are beings who rarely grow, but you must have felt that mana increased greatly at once.

He must have thought what would happen if he was injected with an S-class soul.
The urge was never of the kind that could be suppressed.

Oksana knew he was going to die, but she couldn’t stand his threats and injected her with an S-class soul.

And boom!

What we had to pay attention to in the future was Han Cheol-gwan and the rest of the S-class hunters.
But common sense presumed that there was little they could do.

Rather, it would have been better to quickly bow down and enter when Kang Dong-kwon, who was in charge of the leader position with Baek Sung-hoon, was confirmed to be dead.
Objectively, that seemed like the best option.

But still no contact.
There is no evidence that they were involved in Oksana’s escape from the scene, so a delay in contact shouldn’t be a problem.

‘Still, I can’t be careless.’

The desire for profit, especially the desire to make big bucks, can turn people’s eyes upside down.

I figured I shouldn’t completely let go.

Smart.

As I finished my thoughts, I heard a quiet knock on the door.
