Chapter 263 – Sungkyu, Choi Sungkyu

“Poisonous… Substance?”
– Yeah… It’s getting a lot of press right now, so I was wondering if you know anything…
“No way…”

The ‘Recovery Potion’ was basically an item made by mixing a health potion and a mana potion.
If there are no problems with the two products, basically there should be no problems with combining the two.

I had never heard of a ‘recovery potion’ causing problems in my previous life.
Even though so many hunters used it so much.

I thought there must be some reason here.

As for the reason, there could be several reasons.
First of all, there may be forces that are jealous of GP’s growth and want to hinder it, or there could be a real problem due to someone’s mistake in the production process.
At another time, I might have considered that possibility first.
But not now.

‘Kim Seo-yul…’

More precisely, it was clear that her father had moved.
As expected, clearing the name of ‘SG-Team’ from the party rankings was just the beginning.

– Is it Sunggyu?
“Yeah, don’t worry. I’ll find out. No problem with the product. That’s for sure.”

I ended the call with Rua Kim.
The worry disappeared from her voice.
When I told them there was no problem, they immediately seemed to believe that.

I thought how to solve this problem.
The opponent was too strong.
I also thought that I should have thought about this part when I was carrying out Kim Seo-yul’s quest.

‘No.’

It is a mountain that must be climbed anyway.
With just two more stats, I was an S-class hunter.
I thought that overcoming it without stepping back would be the way to properly enjoy the changed life.

“Yes, Chairman. I’m really glad we agree. Don’t you know that I always respected you? Haha! If you help me, GP won’t last long. Yes, yes, I will definitely take care of what you said.”

Namcheol Lee put down his phone with a satisfied face.

A recent case of toxic substance detection in ‘Potion-R’.
This made the rapidly rising share price of GP slow down at once.
He was drooling over the GP in his heart.
A corporation that has eliminated the static and fallen out of his reach.
Because it was the best thing to swallow.

Moreover, at good timing, GP recently developed a new product.
As a result of checking, the item really worked and was even groundbreaking.
With this product, not only would GP’s stock price soar, but its future would be bright.

So, I put pressure on various places to block the funding line, but unexpectedly, an investor recently appeared in the GP.
A young female investor whose name is unfamiliar.
I don’t know if there is only one of her, but she also joined a woman named Julia, who is called her big hand in Europe.
If the two of them financed it, there was no need for other investment sources.
If the recovery potion started to be sold in earnest, the GP would be more difficult to control because the money line would be open.

Then, the hand of salvation reached out.
Hansu Kim.
He was the head of Hankwang, the third largest conglomerate in Korea.
Originally, Hankwang was an ambiguous two-legged company that did not support only one political party.
But I got a call recently.
She says she knows she’s interested in being a GP, and she’ll help, so ask her to take care of her work.
It was a very simple thing to ask for a look.
There is one hunter who has a thorn in his eye, but he wants it to be dealt with so that it cannot be active again.

It was a trivial request from the head of a conglomerate to the next presidential candidate.
Moreover, the young Hunter he pointed out was the one he had been keeping an eye on.
She provides the recipe for the ‘recovery potion’ to the GP, and according to her latest information, it was he who introduced her investor to the GP.

She was a thorn in the eye from the start, but the reason she was left alone was because she was worth using.
Because she was admitted to Gaon on a special basis and even made a groundbreaking recipe.
Hunters were difficult beings to easily grasp.
If Choi Seong-kyu is a talented person who can do more than that, he thought that he could use it himself later.

But I couldn’t do anything more than this.
He is a 20-year-old hunter with a bright future, but he couldn’t compare to GP and Han Kwang.
The GP will be his inexhaustible source of money, and Han Kwang will give him a big boost in winning the election as the next president.

“Whoop whoop.”

Namcheol Lee took out a cigarette.

“I can’t be wrong.”

Didn’t you always come this far with overflowing luck?
He was undoubtedly the man God chose.
Even the things he wanted to be twisted turned out so well.

He even considers himself lucky that his son died.
Because I found out what my son was doing behind the scenes.

Grinning to himself, he held the ringing cell phone in his hand.

“Oh, yes. Gyu-chan.”

He connected with himself and made a phone call with Lee Kyu-chan of the Black Lion Guild, who was handling the dirty work underground.
Needless to say, the instructions were to deal with Choi Seong-gyu.

‘The reason why I got the right to increase stats…’

I thought it was because I had completed a quest that had the greatest degree of shock among NTR experiences in my previous life.
Otherwise, there would be no reward for carrying out F-class quests and raising A-class stats to S.

‘I have to get rid of it quickly.’

I thought a crisis was right around the corner.
The opponent was Han Kwang, one of the three largest companies in Korea.
In addition, even Lee Nam-chul started to move together.

It was only after receiving a call from Choi Ju-ri that I found out about it.
Lee Nam-cheol, who always sent people to talk, but himself was behind, personally visited the GP headquarters.

He said that what he said to Choe Ju-ri was very insulting.
Choi Joo-ri knew.
He knows he has fallen into a trap.
All production processes of the recovery potion were meticulously managed.
That was the reason why they made products only at a level that they could manage directly without deliberately mass-producing them.
It was planned to increase production by winning contracts later if word of mouth spread slowly.
It was also a last resort that could be done in a position where funds were lacking right away.

However, toxic substances were detected in such products.

I thought Choi Ju-ri would be more than enough to panic.
But she was braver than she thought.
All the harsh things she’s been through so far.
It must be because they made her stronger.

There wasn’t much I could say to her, she rather worried about me.
Don’t worry, I wanted to take care of it, but the opponent was too strong.

The only way I could think of was to become an S-class Hunter.
Because no matter what she tries to do by gathering her colleagues now, only they are in danger.

‘This work alone…’

I thought so and thought of two people who would make me an S-class hunter.

Needless to say, they were the ones who made me plunge into despair and even return.
The people who drove me to death due to the regurgitation of mana.

It was her ex-wife, Lee So-min, and Park Il-seok, whom she once believed to be her best friend and colleague, with whom she had an affair.

‘Now…’

They were the fate I met after I started my social life.
As Park Il-seok was a member of the same guild, they became close friends for several years, and a few years later, through his introduction, he met Lee So-min.
Looking back, it seems that the two had already had an internal relationship before that.

I met my ex-wife, fell hopelessly in love, and lived a happy married life that made me forget all the curses of the past.
But what awaited me at the end was the same end I had been through.
No, a far more vicious and cruel end was waiting.

Since Lee So-min was an ordinary person, it would be harder to find.
Even at this point, which is relatively easy to find, I decided to start looking for Park Il-seok, who must be a hunter.

“Who…”

When I tapped the back, Park Il-seok looked back in surprise.
It will have no choice but to be.
Because at this point, I was a complete stranger to him.

If someone you don’t know calls your name and pats you on the back, you have no choice but to make this kind of expression.

As soon as I saw his face, I felt a tingle and something rise in his chest.
He had to be like that, and it had only been a few months since he NTRed me.
It’s something he didn’t do in this life, but I did it just a few months ago.

“Baby~~”

Coming out of the convenience store, I shifted my gaze to the woman calling for Park Il-seok.

‘Unbelievable…’

At one time, he was a hateful opponent enough to cause mana to flow backwards, but now he was a very welcome person.
The corner of my mouth went up on its own.

“Do you know me?”

Park Il-seok asked me again.

“Don’t you know me?”
“Yes…?”
“You went to the same elementary school as us. We were close then.”
“…”

Park Il-seok stared at my face.
It’s really hard to recognize the face of an elementary school friend ten years later.
When I said this, he stuttered in response.

“Ah, ah… Yes. But what was his name?”

I held out my hand and said.

“It’s Sunggyu. Sungkyu Choi.”
