Chapter 70 – Aren’t You a Stalker?
I was taken aback by Kang Mi-ra’s behavior.
No matter how much it was, drinking unverified potions all the time.
Of course, I didn’t know how the ‘artisan’ class hunters showed their abilities.
Seeing Choi Joo-ri still, I wonder if this is what it used to be.
“How is it?”
At Choi Ju-ri’s question, Mi-ra Kang slightly furrowed her brows.
“Hmm…”
As she licked her lips, I could tell she was working on her skills.
I noticed that she has two special powers: ‘Analysis’ and ‘Development’.
“I’m sure you mixed the two potions…”
Mira Kang put her hand on her own belly.
“Why are you doing this? Isn’t it time to eat yet?”
“Why? I’m hungry?”
Choi Ju-ri, who heard about the side effects of the recovery potion, asked in surprise.
“Yeah, I think I might be sleepy. Regardless of that, I’m sure the energy will go up. It’s a normal potion effect, so there’s nothing special about it.”
Mi-ra Kang, who seemed to be thinking about something like that, shook her head.
“I can’t. I need to eat something. And…”
She looked up at her wall clock in her office.
“I’m going to sleep. Then let’s talk Understand?”
“Yeah, it doesn’t matter…”
Choi Ju-ri seemed to be sorry that she did not immediately know the effect of the potion I gave her.
However, she confirmed that Mi-ra Kang’s immediate response matched what I had told her.
I watched Mira Kang leave her room and asked me.
“Are you sure? Does this really have an over-recovery effect?”
“Yes, I am sure.”
I answered seriously.
There was no need to hesitate even 1 percent.
Historical facts have already proven the effectiveness of recovery potions.
There was no reason for me to emphasize the value of this in front of Choi Ju-ri.
It was fortunate that there was Kang Mi-ra, who had two abilities, ‘Analysis’ and ‘Development’, and at least level 5.
Thanks to her, I’ll be able to see the effect of this potion sooner.
“If this really has an over-recovery effect…”
I saw Choi Ju-ri’s complicated face.
If true, this will be a good product to save the GP.
I saw the recovery potion becoming an essential item for hunters in the future.
Until then, of course, there was trial and error.
The companies that developed the original product set the price too high for it.
Since most hunters had already shared the recipe, I thought it would be better to make and drink it myself rather than paying that price to buy it.
As other companies started selling the same potion, competition naturally ensued, and the quality gradually improved and the price went down.
If the GP would immediately release a finished product without such trial and error.
It was clear that this would be a groundbreaking product sweeping the hunter item world.
“It will take some time to know the results. Even if Mira unnie verifies it, several more steps are needed to commercialize it. Do you understand?”
“Yes, of course.”
I smiled.
Even if there are some realistic procedures, the GP will try to commercialize the recovery potion as soon as possible.
Even if funds were cut off from Park Cheol-gwan, if a product like this had been developed, funds could be drawn from anywhere.
Even if it was impossible in the past, the current GP had the ability to raise funds even from abroad.
“Thank you. Bring it to me If the product is released, it will be of great help to you. I’ll take care to make sure your share is as large as possible. Understand?”
It was reassuring to hear Choi Ju-ri say that.
All sorts of fraud and betrayal were prevalent in the Hunter world, especially in matters related to money.
Recipes brought by a 20-year-old college student were easily swindled and fraudulent.
Choi Ju-ri did not seem to have the slightest desire to do so.
It won’t be like that just because you know me.
I’m actually 40 years old, and I’ve been through a lot of people in my own way.
Even though he had very little eyes for people when it came to dating, it wasn’t like that at work.
Even though my position has nothing to do with it, I have gone out several times at the request of the guild leader to sign new contracts.
Shin Hye-yeon of the future also met like that.
“Then I’ll be gone.”
“Really? Let’s go eat together later.”
“No, it’s fine. I’m going to meet Hyeyeon.”
“Oh yeah.”
Choi Ju-ri smiled.
Yet she saw it as dangerous to keep her relationship with her any closer than she needed to.
It can be dangerous for me too, but it is especially true for Choi Ju-ri.
Park Cheol-gwan was a dangerous man, and I had no power to do anything with him.
It was when I said goodbye and was about to leave the room.
Before I could grab the doorknob, the door swung open.
And a man stood in front of the door.
Although I hadn’t been introduced directly, I quickly recognized that he was Choe Ju-ri’s husband, Park Cheol-gwan.
Of course, there are things I often saw on TV, but the impression and atmosphere made me automatically make that decision.
Because I saw enough of this man’s bare face through the ‘Book of Truth’.
I felt an unpleasant feeling rise through my stomach more than when I faced a tolerable underground guild hunter.
“Ah, honey.”
Choe Ju-ri got up from her seat in embarrassment.
Seeing her appearance, she could tell that Ni Park Cheol-gwan did not come here with a promise in advance.
Park Cheol-gwan did not look at his wife, but was still looking at me.
I sensed that he was suspicious of something.
“Who is this handsome man?”
“Hyeyeon is my boyfriend. She came because she had something to discuss with me about item development.”
“Hyeyeon?”
“This is Shin Hye-yeon. She is Chairman Shin Seok-joo’s daughter.”
Choi Ju-ri dared to introduce me as Shin Hye-yeon’s boyfriend.
She also said that she came for item development.
I sensed that it was so that her husband would not think strangely.
“Ah~ Chairman Shin~~”
Only then did Park Cheol-gwan smile and stretch out his hand to me.
“Nice to meet you. My name is Park Cheol-gwan. That person will be your husband.”
It was a look full of confidence.
It would be more correct to be arrogant rather than confident.
“Sir, it is an honor to meet you.”
I spoke politely so as not to offend him.
I shook hands with him and added a word.
“I heard a lot from the representative. My husband complimented me a lot.”
“Ah, is that so?”
Park Cheol-gwan looked at Choi Ju-ri with a satisfied face.
Choi Ju-ri also seemed relieved by my response.
In fact, there was nothing suspicious today.
As Choe Ju-ri said, I came to discuss items.
If there is a problem, it is rather the last meeting.
It must have been a time when we had an intimate conversation in a quiet and secluded restaurant.
At that time, I remembered the sad image of Joo-Ri Choi who hugged me.
I let go of her hand and bowed her waist before I could get emotional.
“Then I’ll be leaving.”
“Is it so. Call me if you need any help.”
Park Cheol-gwan took out his business card and held it out to me.
I took the business card with both hands.
“Thank you.”
As I walked away from the door, I heard Park Cheol-gwan’s laughter coming from inside.
It was also the moment when it was confirmed that my response was appropriate.
‘Let’s see.’
When I met Park Cheol-gwan in person, I got goosebumps for no reason.
A man who spontaneously radiates evil energy.
I vowed to save Choi Joo-ri from him.

Park Da-in received information about Park Eun-ha and paid the price.
Details about what happened within the guild were not provided.
The guild ‘Iron’ that Park Eun-ha belongs to seems to be a very powerful guild, so no matter how much money they give, they can’t get that information, she said.
Park Da-in looked over the information he bought.
“Fuck…”
It was lousy information for the price.
School of origin, family ties.
There were only the basics, and the contents did not exceed two pages.
‘A college student?’
Park Da-in found something unexpected among Park Eun-ha’s information.
Being a member of an underground guild and attending a university at the same time was unique information.
You probably don’t know about this at university.
If you find out, you probably won’t be able to continue going to school.
Park Da-in classified it as useful information.
“Hmm…”
It seems that she suffered quite a bit because of the debt her father left behind, but it seemed that the debt was sorted out when Park Eun-ha entered the underground guild.
In other words, he was sold to an underground guild when he was a teenager for money.
I don’t know what the circumstances were, but Park Da-in roughly understood that the story was like that.
Continuing to look at that insignificant content, I felt a sense of incongruity.
She recalled what had happened the day Kim Doo-seong was hospitalized.
‘Are you an exchange student?’
Choi Seong-gyu was a special scholarship student who was allowed to transfer to the academy while attending university.
The school he attended and the university Park Eun-ha entered were the same.
‘If…’
Park Da-in came up with a plausible assumption.
‘Aren’t you a stalker?’
Choi Seong-gyu had a look that any woman could fall for.
Not only that, but the atmosphere is also excellent.
The conversation we had before and after Kim Du-seong disappeared was about Choi Seong-gyu.
She began to become more and more convinced of her guesses.
