Chapter 117 – New Encounters (2)
“First of all, I don’t think I can investigate further than this because Kim Chun-bae doesn’t know anything. Until another gang member appears, let’s all go back to our own jobs.”
In the meeting room of the Black Dragon Room, Hunter Lee Jun-hyeok spoke in a languid tone. Sighs came out from here and there at the tone full of regret. Ichie and I also looked at the table with mixed eyes. He thought he would be able to finish it this time, but as expected, worldly affairs were not so easy.
Junhyeok Lee Hunter felt the atmosphere subside and forcibly raised the tone of his voice.
“What are you so depressed about? Uh? I don’t even know the size of the opponent’s organization, and I don’t know anything, so will it end in one shot? There is a saying that well begun is half done. Let’s disband for now, and if you find out anything else, you’ll let me know, so until then, act freely. Dissolution!”
The gloomy atmosphere had the terrible quality of proliferating when gathered in one place. Hunter Lee Junhyeok announced the dissolution to curb this eerie proliferation, and we were able to get out of the meeting room and catch our breath. I took one step out of the door and the air changed.
“Nothing is easy.”
Yujeong said that while brushing her hair. I also nodded my head as if I agreed with her. One step forward, but no progress. It was as if I was running aimlessly in an endless tunnel, looking only at the dim light of my destination.
Several Hunters were smoking in the smoking room. Seong Ha-yeon Hunter was fiddling with her cell phone with her cigarette in her mouth with her complex face. Pressing her call button hard, she clicked her tongue today as she accepted the message, ‘Cannot answer calls.’
“Sister.”
Senior Yoojeong approached Hunter Seong Hayeon. Seong Ha-yeon Hunter narrowed her eyes and looked at us, then put her cell phone in, she said.
“What’s the matter?”
“Are you okay?”
“Are you okay. Well, just a little longer and it will be over soon.”
Sung Ha-yeon Hunter said that and threw her cigarette into the ashtray. The ashtray was littered with half-smoked cigarettes. She looked into our eyes and smiled.
“What are you looking at?”
“No. It’s nothing.”
Senior Yu-jeong said that and shook her head. Seong Ha-yeon Hunter left us and went up to her office again. It is said that the Black Dragon room was destroyed, but the remaining hunters were still acting as if the guild remained together. Hunter Lee Jun-hyeok also declared that the Black Dragon Room was disbanded, but he was still unable to get out of the Black Dragon Room building. Senior Yoojeong stood at the entrance and said.
“Then, shall we go? Mr. Suhyeon and Ms. Ichie. I’ll take you.”
Senior Yu-jeong said so and she walked to the parking lot. We followed Senior Yu-jeong and got into her car. As soon as she got into the car, senior Yoo-jeong looked at Seong Ha-yeon and Hunter.
“Hayeon sister. I followed the ark a lot.”
It seemed like that. It was because he worked hard on the case of the Black Dragon Ark. Even Kim Chun-bae was beaten up, and he tried everything, but the result was not coming out, so it was clear that he was frustrated. Senior Yu-jeong said as we nodded her head.
“Anyway, you’ve taken a step, haven’t you? I think there will be better things, and I have to work hard. I told you to do it freely for the time being, but shall we go somewhere to play together for a short break?”
“Do you want to come to my house? Together.”
“Is it Miss Ichie’s house?”
Both me and senior Yoo-jeong asked in a slightly surprised tone. Didn’t Noboru Ichigaya and the big guys live in Ichie’s house? It was more embarrassing than happy to come to play in a space that was difficult to enter. Ichie said.
“My uncle went up to Japan yesterday. So now I am the only one in the house. The three of us rest and play together. I watch movies and cook.”
“Not bad. I’m also taking a break this weekend.”
“I’m free too.”
After being promoted to Class D, there was no reason to take classes at the academy. There were still a few official academy classes left, but from D class onwards, they were treated as freelancers, and attendance was acknowledged even if they did not take classes. Thanks to this, rather than taking classes at the academy, I explored gates that made money with Ichie or teamed up with senior Yoo Jeong and other members of the Black Dragon Room to earn small amounts of money by exploring gates.
“Oh, it’s Taekyung.”
Senior Yoo-jeong said that and suddenly stopped her car. There stood a face I knew, wearing a suit and smiling. Seeing him talking to other people in suits made me feel like a business man. I knew who that man was. It was [Iron-Blood Fist King] Who was Yu-Jung’s guild mate.
He hadn’t even come to the meeting in the Black Dragon Room, so I wondered if he was busy, but looking at his face today, he seemed to be doing quite well. He looked at Yoo-jung’s car and shook his hand for a moment before leaving the crowd.
Then he knocked on his car window and said.
“Oh, Yoojung. Long time no see?”
“I know? Did you leave the Black Dragon Room and join a new guild?”
“Uh. Look at this. I [Amazing] Went in.”
Amazing was a famous guild that everyone knew by name. Entering that place, the King of Iron Blood Fists seemed to have good abilities as expected. Senior Yoojeong said with a smile.
“Yeah, good. Still, I thought you would stay in the Black Dragon Room.”
“Hey, does loyalty feed you in this day and age? If the guild is ruined, you have to come out quickly. Come out too Because I’ll tell the senior here about you. See the interview.”
At those words, Yu-jeong shook his head and slightly frowned. And he said this.
“No. Are you okay.”
“Oh really. Yoo Jeong-ah. I’m giving you a chance because I’m close with you now. I don’t know if I’ll just cry and make a fuss later?”
“Okay. Okay. [Amazing] Living well.”
Senior Yoojeong said that and raised his car window. As if the story hadn’t ended yet, Tae-gyeong, the ‘Iron-Blooded King’, was a little surprised by senior Yoo-jung’s cold reaction, and knocked on her car window.
“Hey, hey! We are talking!”
Senior Yoo-jeong ignored him and drove the car forward according to the signal that just changed. Ichie said.
“I can’t do it.”
Senior Yujeong nodded at Ichie’s words and said.
“Wherever you go, you are free, so I can’t criticize you that much. Because the Black Dragon Room is actually ruined. Still, I thought Taekyung had affection for the Black Dragon Room in his own way, but it’s surprising to see him leave like this. It makes me happy to see that he is doing well as a motivator.”
“That is also true.”
“By the way. What shall we do when we go home to Ichi? I’m good at cooking, but is Miss Ichie good at cooking?”
“I have never cooked before.”
“Oh, is it? So, do you usually order food delivered at home?”
“My uncle is good at cooking, so I cooked for him.”
I remembered Noboru cooking with that ferocious face. The way he was holding sashimi and cutting the meat suited him very well.
“Are you good at cooking sashimi?”
“Yes. I’m good at frying, and I’m good at sashimi.”
Are you talking about cooking? I understood myself that this was about cooking and nodded my head.
“I think it’s a bit surprising to hear that Noboru-san is good at cooking. Since you said you’re a bar madam, then make your own snacks, but let’s see.”
“I don’t have time to cook snacks myself, so I use a chef. Men who cook are popular, so he said he learned to cook. So he eats a lot of delicious things.”
“Uh, if you’re good at cooking like that, it’s a little embarrassing for me to go and say you’re good at cooking.”
Senior Yu-jeong turned her steering wheel to the side and said so. The car was heading toward Ichie’s house before he knew it. Ichie asked me.
“Is Suhyun-san good at cooking?”
“I am… Well, I only know how to cook kimchi stew, ramen, and soybean paste stew, but I’m not good at cooking.”
“Ah, where is that? A lot of people can’t do that these days.”
“That’s right. Soo Hyun Sang. That’s enough to be good at cooking. I already know how to cook 3 dishes. All I can do is turn frozen food in the microwave.”
It seemed that Ichie couldn’t cook seriously more than I thought. Seeing how you use a knife, you think you’re good at cutting vegetables and meat, but can’t you do that? Senior Yoojung said.
“Then I will teach you to cook this time. I am very good at cooking. While watching V Tube, it sounded interesting, so I tried this and that.”
“Oh, good. Then let’s cook together.”
“Is there a dish you want to try?”
“Hmm… Soo Hyun-sang likes Korean food, so I make Korean food.”
Senior Yoo Jung laughed at that statement. I, too, couldn’t help but laugh as I poked Ichie’s side. The vehicle that took us was heading towards Ichie’s house.
*****
“…I’ve been thinking about it.”
A man intent on revenge. A member of the organization cautiously brought up a story to Kim Hyun-ki, the owner of Young-mi’s pussy. The man who burned his anger sharply reacted by turning her head sharply to every word the organization member said.
“Have you tried it?”
“Still, wouldn’t it be better to talk at least once? You that… We all sympathize with the heartache of the incident, but… It’s because I think you’ll only be ridiculed if you do bad things like this.”
“Do you want to talk?”
“First of all, the question of the tournament… Even so, even if we think about it, expelling you from the academy was very wrong. You should ask for an apology from Jang Ji-wan and the academy.”
All members of the organization nodded. The Black Dragon Ark also spoke with a serious face.
“Don’t you want your revenge to be dismissed as trivial and ridiculous? Let’s talk one more time. We can’t undo the tragedy, but if Ada Bomber is also participating in the tournament, I may be able to return your honor.”
There was only one reason why Kim Hyun-ki joined this organization, and it was his revenge on Jang Ji-wan and the academy, who threw him out when he was in the most difficult time and made him suffer.
Kim Hyun-ki kept his mouth shut and looked at the gang members. He could see what the people here were thinking. He was full of pity and gladness that he did not want to be part of the ‘youngmi pussy owner’.
He closed his eyes.
“…Good. I will ask for an apology just once.”
Everyone in the organization let out a sigh of relief.
