Chapter 76 – Change (6)

Yoochun admitted that he thought it was a luxury hotel, but he admitted that he was at ease when he stood at the front gate of the Grand Paeta Hotel.

After winning the lottery in the past, he visited a hotel called Bellagio in Las Vegas because he wanted to spend money at least once.

And gave up. I thought that if I went there for only a few hundred million and made a mistake, I could be robbed of everything and come back. Can’t we give up Easy Life because of a momentary deviation?

But… I never thought that a bigger and more luxurious hotel would exist in Korea.

Yoochun slowly looked around and entered the front door in order to avoid appearing as unfashionable as possible.

And there was a splendid interior scene that made me wonder if El Dorado, a world made of gold, was like this. High ceilings and huge chandeliers. It didn’t sting his eyes, even though it was a golden light. Obviously, unlike the beauty of medieval castles, the optical design must have been made.

“I see… That’s why I told you to wear this kind of clothes.”

This space, which is not overdone and has a gorgeous fragrance and a calm yet beautiful classic, is a luxury in itself. I could feel the force gently pressing down on the shoulders of the one who didn’t have the proper formality and releasing it naturally.

Meeting someone in a place like this wearing a 200,000-300,000 won coat would be no different than insulting them.

Yuchun looked around as he felt various gazes.

Mainly, curiosity, vigilance, and hostility were the main ones. Perhaps those who are curious are wondering who the young man is wearing luxury items that are not easily seen.

‘Some people seem to know me…’

Those who were vigilantly wary of Yuchun or glared at her with hostility, regardless of gender, had a body that looked solid even if it was covered by her clothes.

Perhaps the Awoken. It is Yoochun who appeared in public but did not appear in the media. Even so, it is highly likely that he is a fairly high-ranking Awoken person who knows that he is the only insider of Balto. In fact, each one of them felt similar to, or even more powerful than, the masked captain of Haewon that we met before coming here.

But, of course, Yuchun was not intimidated by such things. The people he has dealt with so far are rankers and above. In a world where there is no creator, there are also beings who are no different from gods.

I wonder if it was Yuchun who was a petit bourgeois before he was summoned here. Yuchun’s mentality, which was born as a predator and has realized it himself, is not affected by that kind of gaze or this kind of atmosphere.

“Gyeongha! What’s the matter?!”

Suddenly, Yuchun turned his head to the source of the sound.

‘Why are you like that?’

A short-haired woman holding her hair and closing her eyes as if she had an epilepsy from one of the groups of Awoken who glared at her, a woman with long brown hair gathered in one place comforting her, and a sudden teammate The rest of the personnel panicked at the seizure.

It could have been a random scene. It wasn’t that rare to see an Awakener who gets mentally ill when a close teammate dies.

But it didn’t fit in this place either.

‘I’m sure he was fine at first.’

Just as they observed Yuchun, Yoochun also watched them. And they were there too. I saw it as if I was passing by, but even then I hadn’t seen anything so striking.

“Aren’t there any staff?!”

“Call an ambulance here!”

“Mi, Mi, Minkyung… Everything, everyone… Me, I’m fine, I’m fine. Therefore…”

“Now what’s okay with that?! Hey! No doctor?! Somebody please come!!”

“Get out of the way!”

The high-pitched voice of a brown-haired woman pulling her hair together and the rest of the team pushing around to pick up the hotel staff quickly turned the hotel front desk into a mess.

‘Is it a team from a fairly famous clan?’

Even with the Awoken, there were people who frowned, but there were no sanctions for being noisy. I recognized Yuchun, and it was clear that he was a famous team in this country.

‘There’s not a bad atmosphere there either.’

While knowing that there must be quite a few famous people in the political and business world among the personnel here, he took care of his team members before the eyes of those around him.

‘That guy wearing glasses looks pretty cold and rational, but he’s like that…’

Yuchun’s observation of strength was able to grasp the opponent’s personality. The man who seemed to be a captain wearing glasses with the strongest momentum among the five reacted quite violently even though his temper was sharp and rational.

‘Does she care for her teammates like her family, or does that woman, Kyung, matter that much? Or maybe both.’

When I remember the faces of the hoteliers who hurriedly approached me with a premonition that we would meet later, as they were being guided somewhere.

Buzz buzz.

In a different sense, I felt an atmosphere of distraction.

Tumble.

At the same time, I felt a splendid and intense energy approaching from behind Yuchun, containing fragments of power and talent that could not even be compared to anyone here.

There were quite a few Awakeners who had gone out earlier, but Yuchun slowly turned his head at the familiar momentum that made him forget all of that.

“Seeing it in a place like this is different. Right?”

“Yes… That’s right.”

Two long ears unlike humans. Her voluminous platinum blonde hair was gently wavy to her waist. A woman with green eyes that contained her vegetation was staring at Yoochun with a smile like a fresh willow tree under a blue sky.

“Um…That…How should I say hello…”

You are beautiful. Lady?

Should I kiss the back of the hand?

Yoochun, who doesn’t know the etiquette of the upper class, dazedly scratched the back of his neck and didn’t know what to do. She would have been forced to face her breathtaking beauty head on.

The woman in front of her in a white evening dress covered her mouth with the back of her hand and smiled as if Yoochun was cute.

“You just have to treat me like you normally would. It’s all about words with a bit of pretense and actions that are a bit slow and calm. Like this.”

She opened her mouth slowly, but without interruption, gently lifting her hand towards her yucun so that the back of her hand was visible.

“Nice to meet you. Yoochun, you look very nice today.”

Seeing her blush blushing shyly, Yuchun also relaxed her and smiled at her, then slightly lowered her upper body and gently clasped her hand under her and opened her mouth.

“Yes, Miss Ha Yeon is also very beautiful.”

The sound of urgent contact somewhere and the sound of talking to the person next to him increased the hum, but the two of them ignored those things and continued the conversation.

“Next time, Mr. Yoochun, please tell me first. Give her a hand first. Cha-am~ Originally, this is what a man does to a woman.”

“Haha… I’ll be careful next time. It’s the first time I’ve been to a place like this…”

Hearing her words puffing out her cheeks cutely with her mouth, Yoochun tried to tease by saying, ‘That’s a sexist remark,’ but she had a premonition that something she couldn’t handle was about to happen, and she answered plainly.

“Then let’s go up. A beautiful lady?”

“Ugh…That kind of cringes a little…”

“Huh…Me too.”

The two of them trembled at Yoochun’s exaggerated and playful words, but Yang Ha-yeon didn’t seem to be offended by those words.

‘I’m glad.’

Yoochun who said something like a lady made her feel like a thorn was growing in her neck, but with that word, the awkwardness between the two went away, so it was a good sacrifice.

In such a natural atmosphere as Yoochun had intended, the two of them held hands and boarded the elevator to the top floor of the restaurant, leaving their focused eyes behind.

*

As the Grand Paeta Hotel is large, it is equipped with facilities comparable to those of a general hospital.

There, her team members, including the team leader of the Cerberus team, the first team of the Fire Dragon Guild, which is famous for her elite team, although small in scale, gathered together and looked anxiously at her passed out Kyung-Ha Yoo and her doctor examining her.

“Whoa…”

After examining her using magic, the doctor raised his head, and Min Jeong-soo, the team leader of the Cerberus team, who was standing there silently, immediately opened his mouth.

“Are you all right, congratulations?”

“Yes, there is no damage to the magic circuit or the inside of the body. I can’t even look at the nervous system with my skills, but… It’s expected… Ah! If this person has a chronic illness or something…”

“Yes, there is no such thing with Kyungha.”

All members of the Cerberus team have been together for a long time even after graduating from the academy as seniors and juniors. If there was a chronic disease, anyone would have realized it a long time ago.

“Then it looks like some kind of panic disorder.”

“Panic disorder… You mean?”

“Yes, body cramps, sudden cold sweats, rough heartbeat and breathing. If this reaction occurs even though there is no abnormality inside the body, there is a high probability that some kind of damage has occurred to the nervous system as a rebound due to sudden stress. Any shocks or traumas lately…”

“There is something to be expected. But it’s a bit personal to tell you…”

Min Jung-soo, who narrowed his eyes at the doctor’s words, refused, and the doctor looked at him quietly and stood up.

“I am not qualified to dig into the personal histories of the Awoken. I don’t know what happened, but I hope you read it well. Then I’m just…”

“Yes, thank you. Teacher.”

The doctor, who thought that there would be many stories as they were combat awakeners, bowed his head and left.

“…”

“Hey…This…”

“Yes, it seems that Kyungha saw something again.”

Kyungha Yoo She has one of her special abilities. One day, when Min Kyung-soo, his teammates, and the guild leader of the Hwaryong Guild were in agreement to create a clan later, she was able to know through her confession.

Her eyes transcend the boundaries of the sixth sense beyond the five senses, and observe the seven senses outside the timeline of the past, present, and future, and the secret scriptures of the soul. And because of that idiosyncrasy, she was abandoned by her parents and developed a timid personality.

From that day onwards, everyone in her place cared for her even more and at the same time thanked her.

Thanks to her who told me such a difficult story without hiding it, everyone who was there really became a family-like relationship, and we were able to be together like this until now.

In fact, she was of great help in establishing the Fire Dragon Guild. At first glance, the ability of her eyes may seem complex, but in simple terms, it serves as a ‘combat power meter’, according to her teammate Kang Woo, measuring the strength of her opponent.

Thanks to this, I was able to rise to this position while avoiding monsters that were difficult to deal with and defeating monsters that could be defeated, gradually increasing my performance and skills.

“Senior.”

“Hmm?”

Her brown-haired woman, Kim Min-kyung, opened her mouth as she looked down at her sleeping Kyung-ha Yoo, as if fainting from her worried expression.

“Gyeong-ha, like last time and this time, she fell down twice. She says it’s a huge help, but… Shouldn’t it be stopped?”

“You know I didn’t say that?”

However, there were also masters with such power. Mental fatigue builds up. If you keep an eye on a bigger existence, a bigger rebound will come back.

‘For turtles…’

Min Jeong-soo wanted to know what a monster named Named was like, so he remembered the day he went to see the sleeping giant monster from afar in Harbin.

‘It was terrible.’

The overwhelming magic power soaring through her gigantic carapace was enough to shatter the curiosity and fighting spirit of a fledgling who had only been out of her academy for a year. And, seeing it with her ability, Kyungha Yu fainted on the spot. As she collapsed as if in a seizure like now.

“At that time, since then, she has told me several times that her eyes are dangerous, so don’t use them carelessly.”

“But…!!”

“You know more about my congratulatory personality. One insistence on a timid subject is the end.”

“…”

“In front of you, you said you would understand, but when you go into battle, you see how much I have been saying that you use it as you please, but why are you doing that? Or don’t you take Kyung Hwa with you from now on?”

“Okay, let’s go there, dude, you’re so excited.”

“…”

“Our Minjeong Sugi, who only drinks water from the water purifier, was so excited with him, huh?”

“…Stop it, son of a bitch.”

“Uhhhhh~ I like it…”

“Please shut up.”

Min Jeong-soo, the team leader, and senior Lee Kang-woo, including the head of the Hwaryong Guild, stopped the excited Min Jeong-soo. More playful than anyone else, he played a role in dissolving the hardened atmosphere within the team.

‘I don’t like that bastard’s water purifier… But thank you.’

And this time, thanks to that nonsensical joke, the atmosphere was heightened, and Min Jung-soo bowed his head to Kim Min-kyung, thanking him inwardly.

“I was talking too much. I’m sorry, Minkyung.”

“No, senior, I was mad at the moment… I’m sorry…”

“Okay! We get along well-“

“But… Isn’t that strange?”

“… I’m talking about a ruined baby.”

A tall man who ignores Lee Kang-woo, who sticks out his mouth and mumbles. Jeon Min-ho, who is in charge of the team’s tank, looked at Min Jeong-soo with a serious expression on his arms with folded arm muscles that could be seen through his clothes.

“At that time, it was through the safe Chinese Federation, but it happened after several days of passing through monsters.”

“So?”

“Don’t you know? Senior, at that time, it happened after crossing the field of monsters and encountering a turtle dragon named Named. Where was such a monster here?”

Min Jung-soo also thought of it. Even though the situation is different now, it was very different from the time when I faced the fierce power of the monster for the turtle in a state where my mental power reached its limit beyond countless monsters.

“Who were we looking at then?”

“When are you talking about?”

“When Gyeongha collapsed.”

“That bastard, senior.”

Kim Min-kyung, who relieved her sullen mood, opened her mouth with a frown on her face.

“Yang Ha-yeon, a bastard named Yu-won, who is the inside director of Balto, the guild she founded.”

“Okay. It did.”

Balto A new guild created by Yang Ha-yeon, who had been secluded in her house, suddenly appeared.

Yu-won, an internal director there, was unknown and rumors about him abounded. From the word that he is a hidden talent in the central world to the low-level rumor that he is Yang Ha-yeon’s male prostitute.

Min Jeong-soo had also seen it once. But at that time, he was alone with Kang Seung-hoon, a friend and guild leader, not with his current teammates.

‘It was a well-trained body, but I didn’t feel any special momentum…Is there something in him?’

As Balto reached the pinnacle of Korea’s guardian contract guild in an instant without any conflict, he was getting backlash from many awakened people. And the Fire Dragon Guild is also dissatisfied with it.

‘If it’s Gyeong-ra, there’s a high probability that he read our dissatisfaction and used his ability on that man.’

I knew it was a questionable guild. It is known that they were the ones who solved the Golden Bird terror case by the villain, but the only witness is the association and the rest are unknown.

‘No, there may be people who know.’

Those who complained about not properly proving their abilities were middle-ranking guilds like themselves. However, aside from the ruined Golden Bird, giant guilds such as Dawn and Haewon or overseas forces are not responding in any way.

Even though it’s called Yang Ha-yeon, it’s a guardian contract guild that suddenly appeared on Earth.

‘There’s something we don’t know…’

Min Jeong-soo said that in the world of the tops, there is a huge flow that even hotbari like the Fire Dragon Guild don’t know about. And I had a hunch that the person at the center must be that Yu-Won.

He thought of a man with a nonchalant expression in luxurious clothes entering the front door of the Grand Paeta Hotel.

‘Yuwon… Who are you…’
