chapter 33
Episode 033 After being slapped in Jongno, I go to the Han River and shed my eyes
When Yoo Seo-jun and Han So-yi reunited, Pyo Tae-min approached Seol Min-young.
“Are you the healer of the Avengers?”
“Who are you?”
When Seol Min-young, who was taking care of the wounded hunter’s wounds, asked, Pyo Tae-min smiled and held out his business card.
“This is a person.”
Seol Min-young was dumbfounded.
‘When are you blowing enemy lines? They are about the same age as ours. uh? Pyo Tae-min, director of the association?’
When Seol Min-young glanced at the man in front of him, Pyo Tae-min smiled with an arrogant expression.
Feeling why Pyo Tae-min came to him, Seol Min-young pointedly said as he returned his business card.
“So, what do you mean?”
“what?”
Pyo Tae-min knew Seol Min-young’s attitude would change when he received his business card, but he was embarrassed when it came out sharp.
“Can’t you see the injured hunters here? If you come out of the association, I will go quickly and help you. Oh, where are you hurt? Then I will heal you.”
“Isn’t it helpful just because I brought the association hunters?”
“Aren’t you an Awoken?”
“Right?”
“Are you hurt?”
“No, I just came… … .”
Seol Min-young pushed after Pyo Tae-min stopped talking.
“If you have just come as an Awakener, go and fight. I’m busy helping the injured here.”
After saying that, Pyo Tae-min grabbed Seol Min-young’s arm as he turned around.
“No, why are you so picky?”
“What are you doing? Let go of this.”
“I can’t let go. Do you think you have become a great person because the whole nation praises you? what is four years Will you refuse my favor?”
“Which part is favor?”
“Isn’t it a goodwill in itself that a person like me came to you first?”
“Is it that great? Oh, did you ever fall for me? So if you were trying to be friendly, it was out of order.”
“what? See you, see you. Only the face is flat and the personality is completely cheap? Can I embarrass someone who is trying to be friendly with goodwill like this?”
“Does someone with goodwill stop you from doing your work by grabbing someone’s arm?”
“what?”
“Hunters, is this situation normal?”
As Seol Min-yeong looked around and said, the hunters all glared at Pyo Tae-min.
They were the people that Pyo Tae-min, who was smoking nonsense as soon as he arrived, did not pick them up.
“Profit, you guys! Don’t you know we owe everything to my grandfather? Without the Awoken Society, everyone would have been taxed and become government dogs?”
In such a situation, Pyo Tae-min’s words were like pouring oil on a burning house.
As the atmosphere got worse, Pyo Tae-min got even more angry.
“These are groups! Show me the fear of real association? I can talk to my grandfather about this revision and put all the corporate guilds at a disadvantage… … .”
match!
It happened in an instant.
Min-young slapped Pyo Tae-min on the cheek.
“Hey, what is this… … .”
match!
This time it was on the other cheek.
Seol Min-young shot at Pyo Tae-min, who was taken aback.
“Where are you making threats that don’t work? Is the association that great? What did you do? Try saying that to your great grandpa. I wonder how Wake up, you son of a b*tch.”
The hunters, who were watching the situation, spoke as if Pyo Tae-min listened with a more stern expression as if to give strength to Seol Min-young.
“The bastard’s bastard already believes in it and installs it. Won’t you hurry up and help me?”
“Hey, Pyo Taemin. Yes, your grandpa is great, but this is a battlefield in action. You’re doing it here and you’re putting a ton on your grandfather’s face. Will he listen to you?”
“profit.”
Pyo Tae-min, who was criticized by the hunters, gnashed his teeth in resentment. But I couldn’t refute what they said.
“You can go!”
Pyo Tae-min threw off his suit jacket and approached the monsters with great enthusiasm.
*
‘Oh, I remembered. Isn’t that bastard Pyo Tae-min?’
[Pyo Tae-min? Who is that?]
‘The association’s president Pyo Cheon-deuk’s grandson.’
It was already a well-known story that he had a grandson who raised Pyo Cheon-deuk, whether it was gold or jade.
We met often when we were members of the association before returning, but it was so crazy that being the grandson of Pyo Chun-deuk couldn’t match.
‘He’s a person who personally showed how important the environment he grew up in is.’
[Well, then, being slapped by a healer… … .]
‘I saw Minyoung with water.’
Because of her looks and healing ability, Min-young was called a ‘saint’ among fans.
But Min-young wasn’t such a nice kid.
In the past, many men who approached me only by looking at the outside were slapped on the cheek.
Even if you return, it’s still the same.
“Taemin, did you come out of the association?”
When Pyo Tae-min approached us, it was Lee Hwi-hyung who greeted him first.
I didn’t know you two knew each other.
“Brother, who are you?”
When I pretended not to know and asked, Lee Hui-hyung introduced me to Pyo Tae-min.
“This is Pyo Tae-min. I am currently one of the presidents of the Association. Chairman Pyo Chun-deuk’s grandson. We met at a social event before. Taemin-ah, this is Yoo Seo-joon, an Elementalist. We are the same age as you, so we can be friends.”
“Brother, why did you go under this guy? If it was your brother, you could make a guild, right? Could it be because of that woman next to you?”
Hey, look at this guy
I knew you were ruthless and selfish, but I didn’t know you could openly ignore people like this?
[It must be because of the cheek slapped earlier.]
‘But I think you’re misunderstanding something? Lee Hwi-hyung is with me because of Soo-yeon?’
[Look at Lee Hwi’s expression. It will be a little fun.]
Just as Gilliant said, Lee Hui-hyung’s expression distorted when he heard those words.
It was the same with Suyeon.
In an instant, there was tension all around.
Then, blood demons intervened.
She pointed to the group of monsters and said.
“Ho-ho-ho. Because being young is good. But, you guys. In this situation, can’t we fight for love later? And Seojun, see me later. I have something to say.”
“yes.”
After speaking, the blood demon jumped into the monsters again, and Danny An, who had noticed, followed her.
“Go with me! Grandma!”
“Shall I make you a mummy?”
After the two of them left, Yi Hui said.
“Let’s join in too. If Taemin came to help you too, stop talking nonsense and help.”
Yihui’s expression was angry, but he held it in.
“No, I don’t understand. Why is someone like my brother? That b*tch must see his brother’s background and like it. Ask because you don’t know that?”
“what? what did you just say Where are you getting slapped and fighting with the wrong person?”
Soo-yeon tried to approach Pyo Tae-min, as if she couldn’t stand it any longer.
It was Lee Hui who stopped Soo-yeon.
“Leave this, brother. A kid like that needs to be scolded.”
“It’s okay, I’ll fix it.”
Having said that, Lee Hui said to Pyo Tae-min with a firm face.
“I don’t understand you any more. Were you the only one who could do this?”
“what?”
“Don’t pretend to know me after today. Because I’ve never had a younger brother like you. Let’s go, Soo-yeon.”
After Lee Hwi declared that, she took Soo-yeon and went to face the monsters again.
Pyo Tae-min was looking at their backs with a shocked expression.
“Pyo Tae-min, you need to increase your sociability. cheer up.”
I said that to Pyo Tae-min and I raised my sword again.
I could feel the guy breaking down behind me.
“Oh, these! ignore me?! How could my brother do that to me!”
Kiaag!
A monster rushed at Pyo Tae-min, who was shouting out of his temper.
Well, he’s an awakened person, so he’ll take care of it.
I focused on the monsters in front of me.
*
“Hu, is it finally over?”
Suddenly, the sunset was setting.
It seemed like they had been fighting all day.
The monsters that were pouring out of the gate were no longer coming out.
And soon the gates were closing one by one.
It was then.
[Look over there. Over there, in the middle gate.]
When I looked at the gate Gilliant had mentioned, the glow of the sunset was leaking from the inside of the gate.
If Gilliant hadn’t pointed it out, it was a change that I wouldn’t have known because it overlapped with the setting sun in our world.
‘what?’
[Can I go inside before it closes?]
Dungeon break literally means that the dungeon collapses.
After pouring out the monsters, the gate that had been opened automatically closed.
The amount and time of pouring out were different each time.
Looking at the closing gates in front of me, I saw a certain pattern.
‘It’s closed from the outside. Five minutes for the middle gate to close? It will take that long.’
The 10 gates that were open wide here and there began to close slowly, starting with the gates at both ends.
It takes about 5 minutes to get to the middle gate.
‘What do you want to see inside?’
[I just need to check if my guess is correct. You don’t even have to go deep. As soon as you arrive at the entrance, exit immediately.]
If Gilliant figured out something, it would be helpful in dealing with Gate in the future.
With Hermes’ shoes, getting in and out wasn’t difficult.
‘Okay, let’s go.’
I ran quickly and ran into the middle gate.
“Seojun!”
“hey! you!”
The screams of the people around them disappeared, and a vast meadow spread out inside the gate they arrived at.
At the end of the meadow was a dark forest, and the sun was rising in the east.
In the west, a large, red moon was setting facing the sun.
“and.”
It was so beautiful that I couldn’t help but admire it.
[done. Let’s go back.]
‘Is this what it is?’
[I’ll go back and explain the rest.]
When I came out of the gate again, the team members were standing there stamping their feet.
“Seojun! are you okay? What, all of a sudden! Why did you do that?”
“I need to find out something.”
As soon as Gilliant and I came out, the gate disappeared.
When all the gates were gone, something caught my eye.
It was the shadow disappearing into the shadows of the alleys of the buildings.
“Hyung, please clean up. I have somewhere to go.”
I asked Lee Hwi-hyung to organize it and chased the suspicious shadow.
Entering the alley where the shadows disappeared, Gilliant said.
[Serious Magi. A guy who exudes demonic energy like this is definitely a demon!]
‘A demon?’
So, do you mean there are really demons in the human world?
Is that guy the real culprit of this dungeon break?
[Follow Magi. I will tell you the way.]
‘okay.’
It must have been about an hour since I followed the path Gilliant pointed out.
The place we arrived was near the beginning of Dobongsan Mountain.
Not long after we started climbing the mountain, a person appeared in front of us.
“I felt someone chasing me, but I thought it was a human being. How did you detect my demonic energy?”
“Did you guys do the dungeon break?”
“Yes.”
“Why are you doing this?”
“Aren’t you curious about who I am?”
“I’m not curious about your identities. Just answer my questions.”
“What if you don’t want to answer?”
“I will make you answer.”
I tried to bind him with the element of earth.
However, the demon rather grinned and said.
“Do you think you can deal with me just because you know how to do some tricks?”
“I heard he’s dealing with him instead of me?”
“what? Who else but you… … .”
The guy I was talking to opened his mouth in surprise when the Gilliant came out of my necklace.
“D-Why is the dragon here!”
[Tell me the right way! Demon tribe! What are your plans!]
When Gilliant appeared, he fell to his knees trembling.
“Please, merciful dragon. I am a low-ranking demon with no hierarchy. Please save my life.”
[If you answer our questions correctly, I will spare you. Can’t you answer quickly?!]
“It was Ma, Ma, Ma, Ma, Maou-nim’s order. I don’t know the details of the plan! I just did poetry, poetry, poetry, whatever I was told to do.”
Gilliant, who was looking down at the Demon, who lay flat and stuttered, said.
[Your demons are famous for being clever. Is there any evidence that I believe that?]
“The proof is this, this, this, this.”
What the demons handed over was a stone that looked similar to the Awakening Stone but was strangely different.
[Soul Stone? I hope you guys!]
‘What is it?’
Is it a soul stone?
Even when I asked how angry Gillian was, he stretched out his hand toward the demon with a sigh.
[Those who wouldn’t be happy even if they changed their drink! How many souls have you sacrificed!]
“Ouch. Gagging. my, please Only life.”
[You are not worth begging for your life! Die here!]
It was the first time I had ever seen Gillian so angry.
Even when he fought with us before returning, he didn’t get this angry.
[I will kill you the most painfully.]
After saying that, Gillian cast a spell, and the demon’s body in the air was immediately engulfed in green flames.
“Gagging. sh*t. The other demons won’t let you go!”
Those were the last words the guy left as he burned.
When the demons were all burned away without leaving a handful of ashes, Gillian threw a soul stone at me and went back to the necklace.
[You used too much power. I’m going to rest. I’m sorry, Seojun. You must be wondering. I’ll tell you all tomorrow.]
‘Yes, I suffered.’
I couldn’t bear to ask any more questions about Gillian.
When I went back, the battlefield was somewhat organized.
A bright full moon hung in the darkening sky.
“Baby, did you decide to go see me?”
All other guilds had left, and only our guild and blood horse Han Soi remained.
“It’s late at night. Can you come to the office tomorrow?”
“Huh. Do you think you’ll only have time tonight? Can’t you give me that much time?”
How can this woman be so disgusting?
I started to wonder what the hell was going on.
