Chapter 114 – 114. Proof

“You must have checked the documents I sent you after I organized them, right?”

In the car that started driving, her aunt asked in a low-pitched voice.

“Of course. Who sent it?”

“If you don’t know, read it again. Incomplete information is meaningless and discourages attitudes. Conversely, complete information inspires confidence.”

After hearing her thoughts, I turned on her smart phone and looked through the files she sent me once again.

It contained the current Sungshin Group and Chairman Yang’s situation, the amount and items we would be requesting, and the reason for the request.

After completing the memory test by flipping through the lines on the small screen, I threw a belated question to my aunt, who was quietly watching me.

“By the way, Mr. Leeru-ra didn’t come?”

Eyebrows twitching finely.
He was still expressionless, but somehow his gaze felt warm.

“…The name has nothing to do with this case.”

“Well, that’s true. You were always the same. Every time he came to pick me up, he was in the car.”

“It’s just because there’s work to do later.”

“Oh yeah?”

I also thought that Yura was the only escort for her aunt.
As she nodded and tried to move her gaze back to her phone screen, her aunt continued her words.

“Sorry.”

“Well, I’m a fan of Yirura-san.”

“Irura said you look like a pervert.”

“…I’m quitting as a fan from today.”

“Well.”

Not long after she said that she would quit being a fan of Lee Lu-ra, citing defamation, she began to see Chairman Yang Je-sook’s mansion outside the window.

“You’re all here.”

With a word from her, the car slowly slows down and stops in front of the gate, then moves again after being inspected.

After passing through the well-kept garden and arriving in front of the grand mansion, a neatly dressed man led us to the drawing room in the annex.

As she led the way into the living room, she saw the back of a middle-aged woman with her arms behind her back looking out at the scenery through a large window.

“You came. It’s Chairman Yang Je-sook.”

After looking back with a graceful gesture, Chairman Yang Je-suk came up to me and asked for a handshake.

I carefully grabbed the chairman’s hand and shook it. Of course, there was no bending of his back or bowing his head.

The document my aunt gave me also included the attitude to be taken in the negotiations. She was simply told that she should never bow down.

I agreed.

Even though he was just a C-class hunter who lacked the funds to build a guild house, once he started flapping his wings, he would rise higher than anyone else.

“My name is Kang Dae-woong, a C-class hunter.”

“I heard the general story from team leader Seol. Does he have a miraculous ability?”

“It’s not usually a miraculous ability.”

“Saying that, I can’t help but hope. Have a seat.”

After sitting on the sofa, a servant in uniform served tea. After taking a sip of the tea, Chairman Yang slowly took his luck.

“Yes, Hunter Kang Dae-woong said that he could strengthen the abilities of the same Hunter, but is that true?”

“Yes, that’s right. We can strengthen our abilities.”

“Do you have any means to prove that?”

“We need a Hunter.”

“Hey.”

At my words, Chairman Yang called someone.
At that voice, a woman who had been hiding her presence in a corner of her room revealed her own existence.

‘He must be a high-ranking hunter.’

Probably grade A.

Because her aunt said that guardians don’t take on troublesome tasks like guarding unless it’s a special job.

“Don’t worry, I’m a trustworthy kid.”

There was no need to hesitate to come here.
I nodded her head and I executed her provisional contract to her. As the mana was consumed from her body, the A-rank Hunter’s body trembled in an instant.

“It’s done.”

“It will be over soon.”

Chairman Yang’s gaze turned to the A-rank Hunter.
Embarrassed by her ability level raised by her contract, she regained her senses and briskly moved her hand. It was sign language.

“It seems that strength and magic have been strengthened, ra…Amazing. To what extent is reinforcement possible?”

“It varies from Hunter to Hunter.”

“Every hunter is different?”

I deliberately answered vaguely.
Common sense would have you think that when you say this, it is determined by the talents the person has.

Sure enough, Chairman Yang also thought so and asked a question.

“You mean talent affects reinforcement?”

“No.”

“Well?”

I looked straight into the eyes of Yang and said.

“It means that it depends on whether I like that hunter or not.”

“…”

For a moment, silence fell in the drawing room.
Chairman Yang was looking at me with his eyes wide open. It is worthwhile to use strong words on purpose.

“A lot will change in two or three years, President.”

Looking at Chairman Yang, who was quite shocked, he smiled, and his aunt next to him added.

I nodded.

I assure you, by then not even the Guardians will be able to stop me. And I will be the top of the top, just like I promised lying down in front of the F-level gate.

With my lovers.

“…What about the Hunter you like?”

As he was thinking about that, President Yang, who was overcome with shock, asked. Although he said he was a hunter, he was probably asking about the Holy Spirit Group and himself.

I answered calmly.

“You are going up with me.”

To that high place.

“Hmm…”

“Let’s get to the point. As you may have heard from Team Leader Seol, I am thinking of leaving SSLK and establishing a guild. But it takes a lot of money and time.”

“You’re asking me to solve the problem.”

“Yeah.”

“What do I get?”

“It’s my favor and the priority negotiation rights for the loot to be obtained in the future.”

“Favor?”

“Yes, favors. Because you helped me.”

“…I don’t know what will happen in the future, but are you asking me to invest in you in hopes of a favor?”

“You know well enough what will happen.”

There was no way that Chairman Yang could not have predicted what his aunt expected. Bounce now is just an entanglement to make a little more profit somehow.

“I think it’s much better to lock you up now and use that ability.”

“I know you don’t mean to.”

When the aunt next to her opened her mouth again, Chairman Yang looked at her and asked.

“If I were sincere, what would you do, Team Leader Seol?”

“I will not answer.”

“Doesn’t that sound bad?”

“Yes.”

Chairman Yang smiled self-deprecatingly at the answer without hesitation.

“You raised a tiger cub. Well, that’s good Let’s hope for that favor.”

When Chairman Yang said that, his aunt took out the documents he had brought and handed them to her. I came up with an investment estimate considering all of my future plans.

By the time President Yang, who was looking through the documents one by one, looked at the last page.

‘Should I run?’

I opened my mouth.

“Can I ask for one more thing besides that?”

“Um, is there anything lacking?”

“Yeah. Team leader Seol, no, I want you to send Aunt to our side.”

A second silence came at my sudden request. This time, it was none other than my aunt who broke the silence.

“Kang Dae-woong.”

I deliberately fixed my gaze on Chairman Yang, pretending not to hear, and Chairman Yang frowned as he received my gaze.

“I don’t think Team Leader Seol doesn’t know the role he plays in our company.”

“Yeah. That’s why we propose it in the form of dispatch.”

“Dispatch… It sounds like you’re giving it some time.”

That’s correct.

I will borrow it in the form of dispatch until my aunt trains a successor. After that, we’ll have to get it out of our way somehow.

I kept talking.

“Of course, I’m not asking you to send them for free. Instead, I will also reinforce the one you want.”

“…The price is too small for taking out the team leader because there is only one person.”

“Do you think so?”

Even if that person could be a Guardian-level Hunter?
When I asked with such eyes, Chairman Yang stroked his chin and fell into agony.

And in the end.

“…That’s good. I will send it to your guild in the form of a dispatch. If you have nothing more to say, just get up. Because of you, my head is pounding.”

With a smile on my face, I got up from my seat with my aunt, bowed slightly, and walked out of the drawing room. My aunt immediately called me over.

“You did something useless at the end. After training a successor, I was about to move on to your guild. It was something I didn’t have to give up.”

“It is useless. It was the most important thing to me.”

“Important..?”

When I said it calmly, my aunt’s eyes trembled slightly.

“Yes, it is important. It’s my aunt’s business, so it’s not important? And I don’t even know how long it will take to train a successor, so how can I wait? I need my aunt right now.”

“…I need it?”

“Yeah.”

I nodded, and I closed my aunt’s eyes for a long time before opening them. It’s been a really long time. The fact that the emotions are intact in the eyes of the aunt.

“That’s… Not as an aunt…”

“If not…?”

“No…That must be a strange question. Done. Pretend you didn’t hear that.”

When I questioned her, her aunt, who closed and opened her eyes again, returned to her usual expressionless and emotionless appearance, as if she had never done that before.

Another angle, another angle.

My aunt walked at a brisk pace as if avoiding her seat. I stared at her back and then moved her steps.

The drawing room where Kang Dae-woong and Seol Mi-jeong left.
Chairman Yang was immersed in his thoughts, stretched out on the sofa.

“Miyeon. What do you think?”

An A-class hunter called Mi-yeon moved her hand and conveyed her thoughts to Chairman Yang.

“It seems that ability isn’t everything, la. Did you mean there was something more left unsaid?”

Hands moving fast again.

“Hmm… Well, your senses have always been right. Then it would be right to let go of the family.”

Miyeon nodded and Chairman Yang picked up the phone lying next to the sofa.

“Tell me to stop by and see you.”
