Chapter 213 – I Was Only Going to Do the Modeling Job Once.

#

Saturday.
I decided to have a party today, and the place was the B-class dungeon I had entered last week.
It’s a place I’ve already entered once, and I didn’t have any major problems with the attack at that time, so I thought it would be finished without a hitch today.

There was no need to set a separate day for a meeting, so we decided to gather and talk for a while before entering the dungeon.

I arrived a little later than scheduled because I had to pick up Park Ye-seo.
It was also because I couldn’t pick her up at her house, so I had to pick her up at her own place.

Anyway, for that reason, when I arrived at the cafe, all the other members were gathered there.
I thought they would make fun of the fact that they showed up with a female member again.
However, Park Ye-seo and I were not in a good relationship yet, and I was confident because I had no specific words to explain.
At least you won’t have to go out and look up at the sky like the last two times.

But among the women, something else was unexpected.

They were buzzing together while looking at their cell phone screens, but when I appeared, they turned their eyes to me all at once.
I felt a bit eerie in the atmosphere.

“Hello.”
“Yes, bye. Choi Seong-gyu, a popular model.”
“Is it a true story with 4 million views on YouTube?”
“I heard this ad was a hit?”
“This week’s hot model 6th hot rank.”
“Wow~ I was chosen as the best couple with Rua Kim.”
“Already a star, star.”

The words they poured out one after another made me realize what had happened.
A commercial I filmed with Rua Kim.
That’s what these women knew all about.

In fact, it was impossible to hide forever.
Because it has become too popular for that.

4 million views.
Even I couldn’t believe it, even though it was based on Kim Rua’s popularity.
Enough to make my head dizzy.

A new video would have been uploaded and I didn’t even want to see what the reaction was to it.

In fact, other customers in the cafe were whispering in my direction.

‘This is true.’

I didn’t know that just one affair could have such an impact.

Park Ye-seo asked me in a surprised voice.

“Were you a model?”
“No, I only did it once.”
“And…”

Yeseo Park and I had only known each other for only a few days, but she was seeing a new side of me over and over again.

“Top Model, please sit down.”
“What would you like to eat? I’ll buy you anything.”
“It is an honor to be with you.”

Women kept teasing me.
Well, it was something I had to go through anyway, so I decided to respond resolutely.

“I am not going to do modeling anymore. I only did it once and I knew it didn’t work for me.”

“But it’s a waste~ It’s so popular. The luck of becoming a lightning star doesn’t come to everyone.”

Gaeun Kim said.
I don’t think that’s what the academy professor would say.
In fact, the fact that she was participating in this party herself was a testament to her open-minded teaching style.

“Well, that’s not the topic today.”

I introduced Park Ye-seo to the other party members.

“Oh? Are you a sorcerer? Do you have really valuable abilities?”
“How can it look, it’s so pretty~”
“A grade? Aren’t there too many high-spec people in our party?”

Park Ye-seo was easily accepted into the party.
Only she whispered to me, she said.

“I didn’t know all the members were female.”
“Somehow it happened that way.”

Even I had no idea that I would be part of an all-female party.
More than half of the party members were in the same position as my girlfriend.

Anyway, after some unimportant conversations, a briefing on today’s strategy followed.
Not much different from last week.
Since an A-rank shaman was added to the party, if the attack was easier than last week, it would have been easier, but not difficult.

That’s how we entered the B-class dungeon together.

#

As expected, and as expected, the attack was completed without difficulty.
However, it took quite a bit of time because it attacked two floors.

What surprised me most was Park Ye-seo’s performance.
Having said just two days ago that the world wasn’t worth living in, she did something amazing.

Her sorcery had a fairly wide spectrum, and in that respect, there was an aspect similar to magic.
Of course, there were quite a few differences between her sorcery and magic in the details.

It was a performance that clearly showed why a shaman was a class that was treated so highly, and why she was enrolled in Gaon Academy’s A class.

She seemed surprised in her own way.

“The skills of the party members are really great. Especially Seung-a’s sister? Is that real? Summoning?”
“Rather than summoning…”

I thought there was no need to hide it because I would continue partying with Park Ye-seo.

“It’s called devilry. It’s just that demons aren’t as dangerous as they sound. If you handle it well, as we saw earlier, it is a very helpful summoning weapon.”
“That’s right. I’ve definitely seen it too. Really great. This is something you will never learn in a classroom.”

I thought it was really fortunate that Park Ye-seo was satisfied with her first party activities.

“Are you going to keep going, party activities?”

But when I asked her that, she didn’t readily answer.
With a slightly hesitant tone, he only replied, “Yes, I want to.”
I didn’t want to push her too hard.

“Yes, you worked hard today. Go in and get some rest.”
“Thank you so much in so many ways, Sungkyu. I don’t know how to pay this back.”
“What are you talking about, what are you paying for? Haha. Anyway, see you later.”
“Yeah, good bye.”

There was no after party after clearing the dungeon today.
Because a few of the women had schedules.

But Park Tae-ri came up to me and said.

“I have something to tell you. Would you like to go to dinner together?”

Next to her was Han Soo-bin.
I nodded my head knowing that this was related to the request we talked about last time.

“Yes.”

#

“We did some research.”

Just as expected.
Before the food was served, Park Tae-ri spoke first.

“The situation was more complicated than I thought. I also know why Seo Seung-cheol sent his daughter to another guild instead of his own.”
“Why?”

I was curious about that part too.
A type like Seo Seung-chul would want to keep a family member next to him if he were a hunter.
He wouldn’t have much interest in his daughter growing up as a Hunter.
Because money was the most important thing to him.
It was difficult to talk about Seongho Guild and Seo Seungchul without mentioning money.

“There is a business in which the guild Seo Yu-ju is in and the Seong-ho guild share shares. Originally, Seongho Guild was a business that had nothing to do with it, but the guild, whose funds were blocked, wanted a loan to Seongho. Later, I found out that Seo Seung-chul put his daughter in it because he became interested in the business. We know each other’s circumstances, so there’s friction. The guild side wants to kick Seo Yu-ju, too, but they can’t do it their way. If we keep going like this, because of Seo Yu-ju, the guild will be ruined and the business will be taken away.”
“That’s why you decided to ask the underground guild to quietly deal with Seo Yu-ju.”
“That’s right. Seo Yu-joo may have played a game, but the real situation was like that.”
“What is that business?”
“It’s an entertainment business targeting hunters.”
“Ah…”
“It is a very promising business. Seongho wants to have a monopoly in this business.”

Because I know the future, I knew that everything Pak Tae-ri said was true.
The entertainment business centered on hunters grows tremendously in the future.
It was only a matter of time before this project took root in Korea as there were already model cases in other countries.

Since I lived a life without much connection with the Seongho Guild, I did not know how much stake they had in the Hunter entertainment business.
But if they now had the monopoly of the business, as they wished, they had a really powerful money line in their hands.
The request that entered Park Tae-ri and Han Soo-bin’s guild was actually a very big one.

“Actually, I was suspicious of why the request fee was so high. The risk was great because it was to eliminate the daughter of the head of the Seongho Guild, but it was not enough to offer this amount. So, that person is putting their lives on the line for this, too. It would be frustrating that they couldn’t do anything on their own.”

Probably, even one side of the request was not expecting much.
It must be the feeling of grabbing at least a straw.
In addition, you will be praying that this work will proceed quietly.
If it was revealed that they commissioned Seo Yu-ju to be eliminated, it would be the end.

At this time, the Seongho Guild was far more brutal and thorough than the Underground Guild.

“That’s why, Sunggyu.”

Park Tae-ri cautiously suggested.

“You’ve come into the limelight as a model this time.”

Ah…
I thought I knew what she meant.
