Chapter 249 – I’ll Make You a Hunter.

Pretending not to know what I just saw, I asked Choi Soo-jeong.

“Do you know what the GP is doing right now?”
“Hmm…”

Choi Soo-jung’s expression became serious.

Then food was served for the first time.
Certainly, this was a great appetizer you would only find in a fancy restaurant.
The materials and build quality were unusual.
The atmosphere was more lively in that the place was not a restaurant but a private building.

“Would you like a glass of wine?”

Choi Soo-jung asked.
I nodded, wondering what to do.

“I see.”

There were people waiting, but this investment is also formidably important.
Any amount of wine could be deciphered, so there was no problem.

We clinked glasses, drank wine, and ate food.

“It is delicious.”
“Thank you.”

The conversation didn’t progress much after I asked if I knew the current situation of the GP.
But I was in no hurry.
The fact that Soo-jeong Choi did not take this question lightly meant that she knew the circumstances at least to some extent.

“Yeah, I know.”

When the main dish came out and I ate some of it, Sujeong Choi said.

“Is Lee Nam-cheol interfering?”
“Yes…”

Choi Soo-jung’s information power was also amazing.
I don’t know how far you know.

“So it is not easy to get investment. Even if you invest, disadvantages may follow. I wonder if I can afford that.”

I said everything honestly.
If I don’t say this anyway, the conversation has no choice but to go round and round.
Choi Su-jeong was well aware of that fact.

“I am not afraid of Lee Nam-cheol. I would rather bring him down.”

Choi Soo-jeong put down the tableware she was holding.
He wiped his lips and raised his wine glass.
Now it turns out that she ate very little.

I could see why she seemed a little uncomfortable.
It was clear that she was well aware of the GP’s circumstances.
She and she seemed to think that she must participate in this.
The reason seemed to include personal reasons as well as being a good investment.
No, that part seems to be much bigger.

“Disadvantage… I can accept it. Rather, I think it’s a good opportunity for me. The timing came earlier than I thought, but um…”

Choi Soo-jung’s brow narrowed.
There seemed to be a lot of circumstances, but it was something I couldn’t ask persistently.

“Then how far can you invest…”
“Right now, the amount of assets I can move is about 20 billion won. If you handle all overseas assets, it’s about two to three times that amount. I’ll go all-in.”

Saying that, Soo-jeong Choi drank the wine from her glass.
I stopped her from picking up the wine bottle and I picked it up and filled her glass.

“Can you make the decision so easily?”
“I don’t normally make decisions like this. Quite the contrary. I’ll just say that I’ve been investing very carefully so far. It’s a fortune made that way.”
“You mean you want to go all-in on that.”

Of course, the ‘Recovery Potion’ was an item that was expected to succeed.
Choi Soo-jung made a very desirable choice.
But the problem lies elsewhere than in itself.

It is Lee Nam-cheol who is interfering with the GP.
He was the most likely man to become the next president.
It was clear that an individual investor like Soo-jung Choi would be difficult to handle.

In any case, it was clear that she had made a difficult decision.
I don’t think it’s because there is a corner to believe in something in the atmosphere.
Rather, I felt that I should protect her.

“Why don’t we leak it to the media instead?”

Sujeong Choi took an interest in my question.

“The press? About my investment?”
“Yes. Lee Nam-chul will find out anyway. If Soo-Jung Choi becomes famous, wouldn’t it be rather difficult to touch him openly? ‘Potion-R’ is also about to be released, so it should be able to gather topics. Choi Soo-jung is young and has a great beauty, so he will be able to attract attention in many ways.”
“Someone younger than me speaks so boldly.”

Choi Soo-jung smiled softly.
Her face was very red because she ate little food and drank a lot of her wine.

Thinking that this is her chance, I asked her.

“What do you think of Hunter?”
“Hunter…”

It was a simple question, but Choi Soo-jeong had a surprisingly serious expression.

“It’s a little hard to say this in front of Hunter, but I don’t like it. Rather, I have feelings closer to hatred. Still…”

She raised her wine glass with a self-deprecating laugh.
She replied that she did not drink wine.

“Because it’s a world like this, there are opportunities for investment, and I can make money, so I can’t say it’s bad. What, isn’t it?”
“Yes…”

I could read that she had a bad experience not only with Lee Nam-chul, but also with her hunter.

“Then let me ask you a different question. What do you think about Sujeong herself becoming a Hunter?”
“I…?”

Choi Soo-jeong looked at me with an expression asking what kind of question she was asking.

Awakening happens without warning.
She didn’t know whether or not she was a Hunter.
It means that it is generally so unless you have special abilities like me.

“Let’s just make an assumption. If Sujeong Choi becomes a Hunter, how will she use that ability?”
“Hmm…”

This time, Sujeong Choi’s expression was serious.
It is true that we should be serious as this is the place to talk about investment, but we were talking about getting off topic.
Rather, it’s a topic that can be more loose.

I could sense that Choi Soo-jeong had not thought about this matter once or twice.

So Choi Soo-jeong wanted to become a hunter.
That said, she was talking about what she wanted to do after becoming a Hunter.

“Am I able to choose abilities and grades?”
“Yes, well… I assume so.”
“I want to become an S-class Hunter. As you know, S-class hunters can do anything. There are people I want to end with this hand.”

Choi Sujeong raised her hand.
Her hands were small for her height and physique.
She also had hands that looked very white and soft.

It means a hand that doesn’t go well with the words ‘I want to end it’.

“And well, if it’s a skill, I want to have things like ’emotion’ and ‘analysis’. Because it helps me in my work.”

I thought of Choi Soo-jeong.
I was able to see her information with the ‘Scouter’ ability, and I learned that she has the potential to awaken as her Hunter with a high probability.
After that, what came to my mind was Han Yeon-joo.
She did it just in case, but in one performance she knew how to awaken ordinary people to become hunters.
Of course, she also had limitations here, so she had to target people who had the potential to awaken as hunters.

The decisive reason for Choi Soo-jeong’s success as an investor was probably her hunter ability.
She must have had the ability to ’emotion’ or ‘analysis’ as she wished.
Otherwise, her international reputation as an investor is difficult to explain.
It was a formidable feat for a young woman to accomplish alone.

“What would you do if I could make Sujeong into a Hunter?”
“Yes?”

She made an expression that Choi Soo-jeong was absurd.

“Are you kidding?”

The reason I asked was probably because my expression was overly serious.
Because I said it without any hint of a joke.

“No, I mean it. Do you know that GP President Joo-Ri Choi is a Hunter?”
“Really?”

Even after Choi Ju-ri woke up, she was living a life that was no different from before.
She was invariably focused on her own business, and because of that, few people would know that she was her Hunter.
Maybe most of the people in the company didn’t even know.
Even so, her hunter abilities are definitely helping her in her work.

Choi Soo-jeong, who had excellent intelligence, did not know that Choi Ju-ri had become a hunter.

“I helped. She was originally a normal person, and he too.”
“I beg your pardon?”

Choi Soo-jung frowned.
She put the back of her own hand to her cheek.

“Are you kidding me because I’m drunk? I didn’t see it that way, so it’s disappointing.”
“You will not be disappointed. I’m serious. Then you do this.”
“How?”
“If I can’t make Choi Soo-jung a hunter, it’s okay to not invest.”
“No, I mean that…”

Choi Sujeong frowned even more as if she still thought I was making fun of her.
Even if she wasn’t me, her experience of being ignored would be much more than necessary as she did her own thing.
It wouldn’t be easy for a young woman to engage as an investor in a business involving hunters.

“Instead, if I make you a hunter, please promise me that you will be with me unconditionally in future GP-related matters. Promise me to invest all available funds.”
