Chapter 172 – 172.
“Salyeon with SSLK has been concluded.”
The next morning.
When I went to the team leader’s office, my aunt, with smooth skin, gave me good news. Chairman Yang, who wanted to see his granddaughter’s match as soon as possible, set the match date two days later.
When I informed Seo Ga-hee of this and conveyed her quest, she was not embarrassed or disliked, but instead showed arrogant confidence.
“Good. I thought I’d give them a hand. I can’t wait to see what Lee Soo-ri will do if she shakes them all off.”
If it was just that, it would have been better.
But her confidence didn’t stop at her arrogance.
“There must be a reward, right? This time, raise the other stats by about 10. It’s that SSLK, so I’ll give you that much.”
It was like asking for compensation with both dignity as if it were his own right. Even her confidence was lethal.
Her attitude stemmed from the conviction that I couldn’t do anything about myself.
The money received from Chairman Yang and the dispatch of his aunt.
With these two at stake, he thought he couldn’t let himself, the only Hunter in Yang’s family.
That’s how she made herself special.
To the point where she considers herself to be on an equal footing with me.
“If you win, think about it.”
“Heh, I mean that. I have to prepare for sparring, so I don’t have to do other quests, right?”
But Seo Ga-hee did not know.
If I put my mind to it, she won’t be the only Hunter in Chairman Yang’s family. And she said that the stairs she was going up were the stairs of death that I had prepared.
* * *
Guild House has been busy since morning.
Chefs sent by Chairman Yang were preparing a dinner to take place after the sparring in the kitchen and conference room on the second floor, while people in suits moved luxurious chairs and tables to the indoor training ground to create VIP seats.
“Chairman Yang seems to have high expectations.”
When I said it while looking at her, my aunt replied as if it were natural.
“You have to. Ignoring the procedures and directly asking the president for help in Dalian is the same as sending you an invitation to show your granddaughter a powerful figure.”
“Well, thanks to you, President Yang must be in a bad mood today. His granddaughter, no one else, would defeat not one but three SSLK trainees who were inducted into the Hall of Fame. The expectations I place on in the future will also go down.”
“Okay. The fact that you’ve already raised your stats can be interpreted as saying that you liked it that much. Maybe you have other expectations too.”
At the end, I shook her head, saying that it was nonsense at the cold tone, and her aunt looked at me with her face that became serious for a moment.
“Kang Dae-woong. Isn’t it time to talk about it?”
“Yes? What?”
“I hate Seo Ga-hee, but why are you pushing me like this? As far as I know, you’re not the kind of person who would slap an ugly guy and give him another rice cake, are you?”
“Certainly not that kind of person, I am.”
I giggled at her accurate evaluation and put her hand on her slender waist. When my aunt hugged her, she pulled my hand and wrapped it around her entire waist as if to hug her properly.
“Because you have to go up high to become porridge.”
“…Golden porridge?”
Along with the question, a familiar SUV comes up the hill. It was Park Do-gi’s vehicle.
“Mister, did you talk well?”
Park Do-gi, who got out of the car, shook his head with a puzzled face.
“I told you that the trainees would lose, but I couldn’t believe it because I couldn’t explain the details.”
“Your uncle shouldn’t have shown it himself. If it’s your skills, I’d believe half, if not all.”
“No matter how you do it, how can you hit someone you love? Besides, there is nowhere to beat our Suri.”
If you look at his muscles, he doesn’t seem to mind even if he gets hit a few times. Well, it must be because the party is like that. I shrugged and he asked, looking around the parking lot.
“Did all the other guild members go hunting?”
“It’s not like that. It’s going to be noisy, so I told him to go out for a while. You are probably shopping at a department store by now. When is Instructor Lee Soo-ri coming?”
“I said earlier that I was leaving with the trainees, so I will be back soon.”
As soon as the words were finished, a black van with the SSLK mark pulled into the parking lot, and Su-ri Lee, who had bigger muscles than before, and the trainees got out.
“Long time no see. Instructor Lee Soo-ri.”
“Long time no see.”
Following this, Lee Suri, who also greeted his aunt, glanced over the guild house.
“I didn’t know you would actually create a guild. And that too, backed by our Holy Ghost.”
“That’s it.”
“…Hmm. Where is the training ground? The trainees need a place to warm up before the sparring starts.”
Looking at Park Do-gi, he smiled broadly and stepped forward.
“I will guide you, Princess.”
“…”
“…”
Princess?
“…It seems that the words are in vain. Park. Do. Ki. Seed.”
When a bloody sound came from his clenched fists, Park Do-gi’s half-moon-shaped eyes flashed open. It was not because of fear, but because of admiration for the veins in the arm muscles.
“Khehehe. It’s dazzling.”
“…Mister.”
“Hut. Excuse me. Then I’ll show you to the outdoor training ground and come back. Go away, Miss Suri.”
“Go. Let’s go. Park. Do. Ki.”
Judging by how hard he bit his molars, he probably won’t be able to come back safely.
Looking at his back as he left, as he was praying for her peace of mind, his aunt looked at him asking why he was like that. I explained the reason simply and concisely.
“It’s because I’m a fucking pervert.”
“…?”
I went into her team leader’s office with her aunt, who was still narrowing her eyebrows as if she didn’t know. How long has it been since you’ve been chatting with the door locked?
The aunt who answered her phone took her wet wipes and wiped her lipstick off my face, she said.
“You will be arriving soon.”
“What about Seo Ga-hee?”
“They said they were coming together.”
I finished organizing my clothes and headed to the veranda on the second floor.
My aunt was the only one who met Chairman Yang. No, there was also Lee Soo-ri who was contacted, so there are two of them.
As I waited, after a while, a luxury sedan lined up in the parking lot. After confirming the appearance of my aunt greeting Chairman Yang with a polite greeting, I went down the stairs to the lobby.
Exactly when Chairman Yang was coming inside.
“Are you here, President? How have you been?”
“Don’t talk. River Guildmaster. I haven’t been able to sleep since the day before yesterday. Expectations should be low.”
“Is this a big deal? What would you do if your granddaughter missed the moment of victory by blinking your eyes?”
“That’s right. I’m worried because it’s not easy to strain your eyes at this age.”
Hahahoho, when the greetings were over, Chairman Yang introduced the people behind Gahee Seo one by one. Seo Ga-hee’s parents, as well as relatives and SS Knights executives.
After greeting them, I personally escorted Chairman Yang to the indoor training ground, and the SSLK trainees who were warmed up and waiting politely greeted me.
“Sit over here, sir.”
I gestured to the seat of honor and sat down next to him, and Ga-hee Seo went out to the center of the training ground with a cheeky expression. A baseball bat swinging while everyone’s eyes were focused on it.
As it strikes the air at a speed that ordinary people can’t even catch up with, the air is torn and screams come out.
“Oh oh!”
“Is Kahi that good?”
“Didn’t I say D-class?”
Chairman Yang and the audience are agitated by his power. Seo Ga-hee’s expression looks happy as if the sound were the sound of music.
After she warmed up to some extent, I turned my eyes to Park Do-gi, who served as the referee. When he nodded and was called, an SSLK trainee with a sword came forward.
“I do not need it. It wouldn’t fit anyway, so what?”
When Park Do-gi asked if he would wear protective gear, Seo Ga-hee pointed the tip of a baseball bat at the opponent’s equipment and said,
The audience sighed again at those words.
When I sent a sign that it was okay, Park Do-gi proceeded with the sparring.
“Preparation!”
Silence comes to the training ground with the theft of shouts. The black-bearing trainee lowered his stance with a grim look. You must have heard what Suri said. I mean win no matter what.
But unfortunately, he had no chance of winning.
“Fight!”
Ability means fundamental strength.
Strength, Agility, Endurance. And even magic attribute. From the time I raised Seo Ga-hee’s abilities. No, from the moment she signed the contract, her strength was already beyond D-class level.
So, no matter how famous the trainee was, he couldn’t be her opponent.
Seo Ga-hee showed that obvious and self-evident fact as soon as the game started.
Chin!!
“Kuk!!”
Hee hee!”
Overwhelming power, overwhelming speed.
A mercilessly swung baseball bat pours out violence. The moment when the trainee’s arms slowed down as he was only focusing on defense without a chance to counterattack.
Puck!!!
“Ohhh!!!”
Chairman Yang goes wild with a blunt hitting sound.
There was no old man who hadn’t slept for two days. A deep smile caught on my lips as I jumped up and down like an ardent girl fan.
“Dalian end! The winner, Seo Ga-hee!”
The more Yang liked it, the thicker the rope around Seo Ga-hee’s neck would be.
“Hey, who’s next? Come on quickly.”
* * *
Haha!! Did you see it? Saw? Our singer-songwriter knocking out all those SSLK trainees!?”
The Dalian ended quickly.
As expected, it was Seo Ga-hee’s victory. It was a little difficult for the trainee who came out at the end, but the tension rather made the Yang run more.
“Gahee! Gahee! Our granddaughter!”
“Yes, Grandma.”
“Oops, great. Disturbance!”
“What are you doing with the obvious? Embarrassed.”
Unlike his words, his face showed no hint of shyness. As she raised her spoon in her arrogance, her chairman Yang personally brought her a side dish.
“Eat a lot. Eat a lot, my granddaughter. Eat a lot and more to come! Be stronger! Until I become a Guardian!”
I just smiled at the gaze that glanced at me while spitting out the word guardian.
