The Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial

He steadied his churning stomach and picked up the phone.

"Yes, Father."
— Jurim-ah, where are you?
"Ah… I’m nearby, so there’s no need to worry—"

— Gwampa, Gwuu wantsh to talk to Daddychann toooo!
— Alright, come here then.
“Guru?”

— Yeshhh. Daddy, come home fast pleeeaaaase yawwwnn!
"Why aren’t you asleep?"
— The wights kep’ bwinking, and Gwuu couldn’t wead… it got aww dawk…

"It won’t happen again."
— Why not? Why not gonna happen again?
"Because Daddy heard Guru’s voice."
— Bwinky-wights stopped ‘cause Daddy did that?

"Hmm, I guess that’s how it worked out?"
Guru giggled like she’d just heard the funniest joke.
He closed his mouth so he wouldn’t miss the sound of her laughter.

Ridiculously enough, just hearing that laugh calmed the turmoil that had gripped his heart in an instant.
"Daddy will be right there. You go to sleep."
— Mmm… Gwuu can maybe stay up and wait for Daddy…

— Guru, let’s sleep now. Grandpa will read the book. Daddy’s not that great anyway, right?
When On Suhyeong gently poked at her competitive streak, Jurim sat up straight.
"I’m coming to read you a story right now. Just wait."

— No need to rush. I’ll read her a book.
— Gwampa can wead, so itsh okie dokie.
"Really? But Daddy reads better than Grandpa."

— Hah. That’s hardly true, is it?
— Weawwy?
"Really. I’ll come prove it."

— Don’t trust anything your daddy says. I’m hanging up, Jurim-ah. No rush.
"Father, Father! Please don’t hang up!"
Jurim quickly spoke as he hurried his steps.
A gentle warmth glowed from the phone’s screen.

The man on the 99th floor sat unmoving, silently watching as Jurim left.
His silhouette disappeared into the city lights.
Just as he promised, the lights would no longer blink.

And the deep footprints he left behind on the snowy rooftop remained, as if time had frozen.
What calms raging fury in an instant?
What turns a heavy, despairing step into a feather-light one?

The man on the 99th floor still didn’t know.

— Is this even real????
Doan owns 59% now
Didn’t they just buy 10% yesterday??
Word is the original founding shareholder of SSPED secretly sold their stake to Doan.

They wouldn’t have handed it over for free. With what money did they buy that? And secretly??
That’s what power looks like.
He sold his own son, so you think he doesn’t have reserves? lol

Here we go again with the “sold his son” narrative...

— Cut this traitor (image of someone tearing up a Japanese flag)
— Should’ve gone all in on national stocks, smh. I told you 500 times this is when the luck of Ungnyeo gathers in Korea.

+1 for the patriotic fortune-teller
— With that kind of judgment, let your wife go, man.
[Post Title: Only clueless normies are buying Doan now]

How much could you possibly make jumping on Doan at this point?
Weakling: buys at ₩290K “30K, let’s gooo~”

[Post Title: (Analysis) Doan has nothing but °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° upside]
Doan’s got a puppet CEO—Jjapso
Amakusa’s naturalization is still a card on the table
They’ll probably give him some kind of advisory role in this new subsidiary

Also… Doan is run by Jurim’s dad ㄷㄷ
Jjapso + Amakusa + SSPED partnership?
You don’t hear that big boom coming??
Now’s the time to get in on Doan while it's still low.

[Comments]
— Patriotic investors, rise and go all in on Doan~~~
— If you’re Korean, you go Doan
— Even with a dream team lineup, it’s just a water rocket psssshh~
PM Takahashi with 4% approval, this is not the place for you lmao

4%??? HOW is that real lmao
[Post Title: But seriously, why did Amakusa suddenly naturalize?]
Who leaves their country just cause they fought with the prime minister?

It’s not like Korea offered him some insane deal or anything
[Comments]
— He met Guru, duh (photo of Kazuki, Jurim, and Guru talking at Yeonhamsa)

What’d Guru even do?
Amakusa Kazuki visits Korea → meets Guru (the only S-Class drug approved by the state) → situation: “complete”
“Complete,” omg lol

It actually… makes sense!
— I’m the one who told Guru to bring Amakusa. Was it me?… Guru, are you reading this?
You insane b**** lmaoooooo

Guru: It is done.
Thank you thank you
f***kkkkkkkkkkkk
— At this rate, shouldn’t Guru be president? She’d collect every S-Class in the country lol

Please take care of Korea, Her Excellency Guru
S-Class magnet, God Guru
I just wanna see her once—what’s she up to now?

Apparently she just got a new bike lmaoooooo
WHAT? lmaooooooo
[Post Title: Smiley Hyeonak Guild Update lolol]

(photo of Guildmaster’s office with a 20km/h sign)
Speed limit signs installed now lol
(photo of Guru getting pulled over by Jurim while riding her trike)

   1. Amakusa made Guru a ₩20 billion dragon-head tricycle
   2. It has muscle buffs and boosters, so it’s extremely fast (for a trike)
   3. Guild set a 20km/h limit to avoid accidents

[Comments]
— This is insane and adorable lol
— Why is Hyeonak suddenly cute now
— The little fluffball is saving even Hyeonak Guild lol
— A ₩20 billion trike, wtf, literal God-tier life
— It’s Amakusa brand, so there’s a premium on top~~
— Is this what it’s like to be a 5-year-old celeb?
— I wanna speed and get pulled over on a ₩20 billion trike too lol
Agreed lmaoooooooo
