Chapter 174 – Bald Head and China Dress (1)
The head of the Singapore Hunter Association came to visit me, so I quickly washed up and went downstairs with Katrin.
In the lobby on the first floor, there was a bald man and a slightly older middle-aged woman.
Two people came closer to me and said.
The bald-headed man spoke to me in English.
… I’m sorry, but I got 30~40 points in English when I was in high school, so I can’t understand a thing.
It was an effect of not being able to properly attend school classes because I was tired from working, let alone an English academy.
Fortunately, a middle-aged woman spoke in Korean as if she were an interpreter.
“Hello. I am Eric, the President of the Singapore Hunter Association. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Hunter, the great monk of engineering, who readily responded to my sudden visit.”
Come to think of it, the majority of Singaporeans are of Chinese descent, but besides Chinese, there are also Malays and leaderns, so they usually speak English and call their names in English a lot.
I did some research before coming to Singapore.
Certainly, this man named Eric also looked a bit like Chinese.
“Oh yes, nice to meet you. It’s an air-to-air victory.”
First, I shook hands with Eric.
He was as tall as a basketball player, and his shoulders were almost twice as wide as mine.
So, it felt a little intimidating.
Katrin was behind me, so I wasn’t too scared.
“Hunter-sama, if you don’t mind, can we move? I want to show you our Hunter Association building.”
“Is it difficult here?”
“I want to tell you something a little secret, so I would like you to go to a room with proper security.”
“Yeah, that’s right then.”
It’s a big hit from the Singapore Hunter Association, which supervises the second qualifying round, but if you go out uncooperatively, you may be disadvantaged unknowingly during the game.
Of course, if that happens, the Korean Hunter Association will protest, but as far as I know, there is no case where the Hunter Association in the preliminary round has withdrawn its decision.
It is better not to suffer any disadvantages as long as you have decided to go to the finals and make your name known.
I followed Eric and the interpreter out of the hotel.
A long limousine parked in front of the hotel.
… I remembered how she picked me up in her limousine when I was dating Choi Da-hyun before her.
“Hunter, let’s get on.”
Eric opened the limousine door himself.
I never thought I’d be riding in a limousine again.
I got the feeling that I was treated very well, but since the limousine was mobilized, I started to doubt it.
What the hell are you taking me to the Singapore Hunter Association to talk about?
I sat in the seat of the limousine.
It was very soft and comfortable to sit on.
Katrin also put her butt next to me.
Then he hugged my arm and held me close.
Eric closed the door and came in.
Looking at Katrin and me, he laughed haha.
“You seem to be on good terms with your servant.”
“That’s why I trust you. As a supporter, Katrin is a valuable partner who fills up my lack of offensive ability.”
“It is said that such a close bond between master and familiar has rarely happened even when familiars were in full swing, but it is Hunter-sama.”
After having a normal conversation with Eric, the car started.
There seemed to be a separate driver.
Catherine suddenly exclaimed in flames.
-Master, be careful of this man! He looks somehow insidious! There is no human being who is not bald and insidious!
“…”
No, baldness doesn’t matter.
I agree that I don’t know what the plan is.
The interpreter lady just seemed like a nice person.
But again, this kind of person also hits people in the back of the head.
… It seemed there would be no end to doubts in this way.
It seemed that he had a suspicious disease because he had recently come across ugly information such as Robert Matthew and In Seok-woo.
[Singapore Hunters Association for Monsters and Villains]
I reached the Singapore Hunter Association building.
It wasn’t too far from the hotel.
It was a building so tall that it was impossible to tell how many floors it had.
I thought it was a skyscraper.
I got out of the limousine and entered the building.
When the busy staff saw Eric, the president of the association, everyone greeted them.
I also thought that the authority of the head of the Hunter Association was strong in Singapore.
“From now on, the place to be enshrined is confidential according to local law in Singapore, so please refrain from leaking it to the outside world.”
“Yes…”
Where are you going to take me?
I’m rather excited to take Katrin to some secret place.
Sometimes I think about it, but she had a bit of an elementary school side…
Eric and the interpreter continued to follow.
I felt like I was going downstairs all the time.
It was difficult to gauge the exact direction or depth because the structure went down the ramp.
Then Eric suddenly stopped in front of a wall.
Just as he wanted something, he pulled out something that seemed to be his ID.
And tagged a wall with nothing on it.
Kiki-.
The wall parted on both sides.
It’s like some kind of secret base.
Catherine said, “Oh, oh oh… !!” She blinked.
Beyond the door disguised as a wall was a fairly large room.
A young woman who was sitting on the sofa jumped up from her seat and came toward me.
“Hello.”
… It was a pronunciation that clearly showed that he couldn’t speak Korean.
Still, since he gave Korean greetings for me, I greeted him too.
“Hello.”
By the way, the young woman’s attire was unique.
Rather than saying it is unique, it would be more accurate to say that it was the first time I saw it in person.
It was a Chinese dress.
… Because you’re Chinese?
However, as if it wasn’t a completely traditional cheongsam, the triangular part of her chest was cut off, slightly revealing her cleavage.
The side slit on the left side of her skirt is also quite deep.
Eric pointed to the couch and said, “Sit down.”
I don’t know who this woman is, but for now, I sat on the sofa as I was told.
Katrin clung to me next to me.
-Master, do you like the clothes that woman is wearing?
Caught
I had a strong desire to make it more risque than that and put it on my girls.
No, that’s right, if you ask me to wear it, I’ll wear anything, but can I not wear it?
Eric sat down on the couch across from us.
The interpreter put her butt on the couch between me and Eric.
Eric opened his mouth.
“Hunter, do you have any small complaints about Korea?”
Why are you suddenly asking this?
Shall I speak of my country in front of Singaporeans?
No, there’s nothing you can’t do, but I was worried about the intention of asking.
“She doesn’t think there are people in her country who have no complaints.”
If there is such a country, that is utopia.
At least, there will be dissatisfaction even if it is a country where you immigrated because you like it.
At my answer, Eric said haha and laughed heartily.
“Hunter is right. Still, we, Singapore, can treat you without complaint at all.”
Ah, I have a sense of what you are trying to say to me.
… You want me to immigrate to Singapore?
I’ve heard
There are several attempts to recruit Hunters of A-rank or higher from other countries.
In fact, Korea has also been on the news several times because it has been taken away by the United States, Japan, China, Russia, and Germany.
Conversely, there are cases where Korea brings in promising players from other countries.
In Korea, public opinion mixed with sarcastic comments that S-level talents are taken away by other countries and that talents taken from other countries are A-level.
‘Do I have to?’
To be honest, love for the country cannot be said to be strong even in empty words.
But if I leave Korea, I have a lot to lose now.
First of all, the president’s expectations that he had been able to achieve were betrayed.
If the president is trying to push me, but I go to another country, of course I won’t feel good about it.
I don’t know what risks it might be.
If I emigrate to another country, my women will automatically follow, but my women have more to lose than I do.
Right away, Seo Soo-ah is pushed out of the race to succeed the conglomerate family.
No matter how much Gilsung Group is a global company, there is no way to pass it on to my granddaughter who has gone abroad since it is based in Korea.
Likewise, Choi Da-hyeon also loses ties with the western guild.
Professor Jeong Na-jeong, Instructor Kim Si-young, and Director Won Eun-gyeong must also abandon their established positions in Korea.
Will Eric be able to offer a merit worthy of such a minus?
I don’t know how much you researched me beforehand.
“First of all, Hunter, we have a system called Hunter directly under the association.”
“A direct hunter?”
“Yes. You do not belong to any guild, and you only need to carry out the quests designated by the association. At most, two or three a year.”
Instead, those two or three are high difficulty gates that are difficult for normal hunters to clear.
Eric continued with a grin.
“Based on the value of the Korean won, I will pay 100 billion won in down payment and 40 billion won in annual salary. We negotiate an annual salary on a one-year contract, but we will make a special contract so that it does not go down further from 40 billion, and it is a structure that goes up every year according to Hunter’s performance.”
In other words, the annual salary was at least 40 billion won.
The conditions presented by Seo Soo-ah are a 10-year contract, a down payment of 60 billion won, and an annual salary of 10 billion won.
When calculating the ordinal total, Singapore presented a condition of at least 500 billion won on a 10-year basis.
The condition Sua Seo suggested was 160 billion won.
It was more than 3 times different.
“That’s more than any other hunter in Singapore.”
Certainly, the amount itself was great.
However, if Seo Soo-ah officially takes over the Gilsung Group, won’t this gap be made up lightly?
The seat of the successor of the Gilsung Group is in the group unit.
While thinking that, he continued with an expression that seemed confident in Eric.
“There is one more thing I can give you.”
