Chapter 705 – Side Story Episode 39. The Story After That (39)
Huuuuung-
A private plane slowly landed among the woods.
“Hmm… “This is the air of France.”
Lee Ho-yeon got off the private plane, took a deep breath, and stepped onto French soil.
Inside the Iris Guild grounds, this is where the private plane lands.
This is a place I haven’t visited in a long time since my last visit.
“It’s been a while since I’ve been here. “You also saw Scarlett’s friend here, right?”
“That’s right. It’s a good memory. “You can just go in today.”
After greeting the pilot, Scarlett took the lead and entered the Iris Guild.
Since he was in the position of an attendant who brought wizard Lee Ho-yeon with him, he should act more confidently today.
“Hoyeon. Bend your shoulders and walk confidently. “Today is an official visit.”
“Don’t worry. “There are not many people as confident as me.”
Lee Ho-yeon walked through the forest and looked around.
CCTV and hidden guild members were seen everywhere.
As expected from the best guild in the world, it had good defense.
‘I hope Ellis and Irene get along well.’
Thinking of the blonde sisters, I walked for about 10 more minutes and saw the Iris Guild building.
Hoyeon Lee followed Scarlett’s lead and entered the building.
As soon as I entered the building, several guild members recognized Scarlett and approached her.
“Oh my, Scarlett!”
“Scarlett! “It’s been a while!”
“Nice to meet you all. Nice to meet you.”
Scarlett naturally greeted others.
Anyone could see that he was a guild member who had returned after a long time.
‘But why is he so natural?’
Didn’t you hit the Iris guild?
I don’t think anyone will know if I just return like this.
Ttogak- Ttogak-
“Long time no see. Her complexion still looks good.”
At that time, a familiar voice was heard from inside.
Lee Ho-yeon spotted the blonde beauty approaching and approached her with a smile.
“Irene, you’re still pretty, right?”
“… Huh. Thank you for coming to help today. “You must have been busy, but you responded to my official request.”
Irene answered while slightly avoiding Lee Ho-yeon’s eyes.
Lee Ho-yeon, who was happy to see that, took a step closer and opened her mouth.
“No way. What. Between us. Where are the guild leader and Ellis?”
“I’ve been waiting since you said you were coming. Let’s go inside.”
“All right. Scarlett. “Stop saying hello and let’s go.”
“Oh, yes. I understand.”
Scarlett finished her greeting and adjusted her clothes again.
She was nervous for no reason because it was the guild leader she hadn’t seen in a long time.
However, the Iris guild members around Scarlett had no intention of sending her away.
“No way. Scarlett. Where. It’s been a while since we’ve seen each other, so I should also say hello to the intelligence team.”
“Hmm? Yes? No. I am an important person who came with wizard Lee Ho-yeon today… “Aaaaak!”
He wrapped Scarlett’s arms on either side of her and dragged her somewhere.
Scarlett, who was swept away by the large crowd, gasped! She said, and she disappeared to the other side of the building.
“… Huh?”
“What are you doing? Scarlett seems to have a reason. Let’s go by ourselves.”
Hoyeon Lee looked at Irene, blinking her eyes at the sudden situation.
Is this really okay? Still, he followed me as my attendant…
“Mr. Irene. “You don’t need Scarlett today?”
“Are you okay. “It’s also important to say hello to Iris guild members.”
“Isn’t it true that Irene ordered it?”
“…
Irene walked ahead without answering.

Iris Guild’s guild leader’s room.
In a room with luxurious interior, a blond man and a woman were sitting.
When Lee Ho-yeon entered her room, she smiled happily.
“It’s been a while. Wizard Lee Ho-yeon.”
“Guild leader. “It’s been a while.”
Hoyeon Lee bowed her head towards Isaac.
A handsome man with dignified blonde hair wearing a neat full length suit.
This is Isaac, the guild leader of the Iris Guild and the father of Ellis and Irene.
Every time I see this guy, I feel like he’s really handsome.
Of course, he is not as good as he is.
“Wizard Lee Ho-yeon is so busy that she’s only now showing her face.”
Ellis, who was sitting next to Isaac, twisted her blonde hair and opened her mouth.
Ellis looked at Hoyeon Lee with her dissatisfied eyes.
It’s my first time seeing you in a month, but I feel like I’m not happy enough.
Shouldn’t you show yourself more affection?
“… No, weren’t you busier than me? “I missed you too.”
“Even if I say I’m busy, isn’t it polite to make time to come see me at least once?”
“Sorry…’
Honestly, I don’t understand, but I apologized.
This is because dark circles were visible under Ellis’ eyes.
If you touch Alice in that state, she bleeds.
“Now. Let’s talk about that later, and just sit there. “I came today to have an official talk, so Ellis, don’t make that face.”
Fortunately, through Irene’s intervention, I was able to escape Alice’s scary gaze.
I gave Irene a grateful look and sat down.
“Okay. Lee Ho-yeon Wizard. “I have a lot to talk about today, so let’s get started quickly.”
“Yes. “Guild leader.”
“… But it seems like you’ve become closer to our daughters?”
“Father. “We need to stop and discuss!”
“Tsk. I understand.”
Contrary to his words, Isaac was glaring at Lee Ho-yeon.
‘Is this why I didn’t want to come here…? ?’
There’s something strange about this family.
Although the face is pretty and handsome, there are times when the atmosphere is scary.
Clap-
Irene, who brightened the mood with applause, led the conversation.
“Now, wizard Lee Ho-yeon. “You said you only vaguely heard about it from the Korean branch manager. How much do you know?”
“I understand that there is a plan to attack the party venue. I also heard that guilds that are dissatisfied with the Iris Guild are supporting terrorist groups.”
“In summary, that’s true, but… “I’ll tell you in more detail.”
Lee Ho-yeon heard detailed information about terrorism under Irene’s leadership.
There were more groups that predicted terrorism than expected, and the guilds and companies involved were large and complex.
In particular, the hostile guilds were larger than Lee Ho-yeon expected.
“In the end, the guilds that lost their positions when the Iris Guild started doing business were angry.”
“That’s right. But we deal fairer than anywhere else. “Businesses do not come in simply because they are strong.”
“I guess so. Irene and the guild leader both seem to have good personalities.”
“Why am I taking it out?”
“Ellis, of course you are nice too.”
Hoyeon Lee completely trusted the Iris Guild.
There is no way that Irene and Ellis are a bad place.
“This is the layout of the party hall. The area where terrorism is expected is the right annex. So guilds that are associated with terrorist groups were placed on the right.”
“Is it so? If I hit the barrier anyway, no one will die.”
“Uhm. That’s right…”
As Irene hesitated, Isaac continued.
“They are the ones who decided to cause trouble internally when a terrorist attack occurs. It’s easier to deal with them if you push them to one side.”
“If you know that in advance, shouldn’t you be arrested from the beginning?”
“They are aiming for that too. Even if information about terrorism leaks out, it is Iris Guild that ultimately claims it. “I guess they’re planning on waging public opinion by linking it to terrorism and eliminating rival guilds.”
“Isn’t the Iris Guild holding a tight grip on the world’s media?”
“Even if you’re not in the media, you can still wage a war on public opinion. The world really hates pictures of the strong persecuting the weak. “Whether it’s true or not.”
Isaac looked at Lee Ho-yeon and continued.
The most important thing in this terrorist attack is to quickly suppress the internal enemy.
“Wizard Lee Ho-yeon. As soon as a terrorist attack occurs, they will make a fuss. We must suppress them as a top priority.”
“Hmm, guild leader. Don’t call me Lee Ho-yeon wizard, but feel free to call me that.”
For some reason, it feels burdensome for everyone to call Lee Ho-yeon the wizard.
In particular, Isaac is currently the guild leader of the world’s best guild, the Iris Guild.
It’s not very comfortable for someone like that to treat me with respect.
“No. I think the strong should be treated equally. “We need titles that fit each other’s positions.”
“Okay, I’ll focus on work, too. Well, it’s getting tiresome. Then, it would be better to set up a barrier outside and quickly clean up the inside.”
“Okay. I feel sorry for you, but I hope you subdue it as much as possible without killing it. “If you don’t want backbiting, it’s better that way.”
“Do not worry. Because that’s my specialty.”
Controlling your strength, so you don’t die is a tedious task, but it’s not difficult.
Humans are surprisingly strong as long as you don’t aim for vital points.
“From the EK guild to the Seoyu guild and the HA union… “All the trash is gathered together.”
“Huh. It’s safe to say it’s a gathering of criminals.”
“Are those people that mean?”
Hoyeon Lee spoke to Ellis and Irene who were looking through information next to them.
I heard from the Korean branch manager that they were bad guys, but I didn’t know how bad they were.
“Now look at this. Because it’s roughly organized.”
Hoyeon Lee frowned as she looked at the hologram monitor that Ellis gave her.
Starting with small crimes, tax evasion, murder, sexual harassment, rape, kidnapping…
I was curious how these guys became a large guild.
“There was a lot of slander about the Iris Guild. She also revealed the sexual scandal between me and her older sister.”
“Ellis. “What did you just say?”
“You mean the sexual scandal between me and my sister? It was pretty interesting. There is a man named Rivera in the EK guild, and he was considered the strongest hunter before you appeared. I ran into that person at a party and took a picture of him…”
“Guild leader.”
Hoyeon Lee interrupted Ellis and looked at her Isaac.
Her heart grew cold. He quickly figured out how to deal with them.
“Just kill it.”
“What?”
“Let’s kill him. Just leave it to me. If you instill fear in the emotions of the people at the party at the moment of the terrorist attack, it will be easier to testify. “I will handle it so that no one can find fault.”
“…”
Isaac blinked her eyes as she saw the sudden change in Lee Ho-yeon.
It’s good to be cooperative, but it has become too violent.
‘I thought you had a docile personality, but didn’t you?’
Isaac edited her information about Lee Ho-yeon.
