Chapter 63 – The Underground Arena (2)
The day after the report about the Black Lotus came in.
Seo Ji-yu, Kim Jeong-tae, and Han Ye-jin and I headed to Incheon International Airport.
Seo Ji-yu stuck out her tongue as if wondering how I had gotten her permission in one day.
She said, “Your wife has allowed it.”
“There are ways.”
By the way, the secret is to say it when you are in a good mood in bed.
Tia hung on to my leg this morning, but she couldn’t believe it would work?
Meanwhile, Han Ye-jin, who was following her from a distance, showed a slightly dissatisfied face.
Originally, she should play the role of my lover, but…
Han Ye-jin is Esquire in charge of my health, so she is very uneasy about her acting skills and makeup.
I don’t want to leave Seo Ji-yu in good shape.
I passed the magic detector installed at the airport very casually and presented my fake ID.
This detector, which can identify hunters disguised as civilians, is quite high-performance, so there is no guarantee that it can fool even Yeriel…
In my case, I can completely suppress the magic reaction with the green dust in my body, so it’s a free pass.
‘Thanks to that, it’s comfortable.’
Thanks to Seo Ji-yu’s coordination, her hairstyle has also completely changed.
These days, my head is infiltrating all over the place, so I don’t have a good day to be calm.
Seo Ji-yu herself also changes her outfit a lot, to the point that her baby’s mother and elderly people who pass by her slightly frown at her.
She’s playing the role of the soon-to-be rich man’s lover, so it can’t be helped.
She clung to me, blushing slightly.
Anyway, one acting ability is innate level.
“If she gets caught doing this with Yeri El Frost’s husband, she might really die.”
“Then do your best not to be noticed.”
“Ha…”
Arriving safely in London, we joined the Servant sent by the company.
He put us in the car and started running without hesitation.
“Welcome to London.”
The reason why there was no title of master was because of Seo Ji-yu’s existence.
I nodded roughly and asked for a briefing.
“Explain right away.”
“Yes. You will be introduced to the black market by an existing member.”
“Is that existing member a member of our company?”
“No. It’s an outsider. If it bothers you, feel free to throw it away.”
Irene Wilson had already intended to abandon this line entirely.
As she was grateful for her consideration, Seo Ji-yu trembled beside her.
She seems to have felt that she was treated similarly to herself.
I kept asking questions.
“Can’t we just change the nationality of the disguised status? Chinese or Japanese…”
Now, there is no patriotism left to worry about the national status of the Republic of Korea, but it will be difficult if the tail is caught.
Unfortunately, the Servant firmly shook his head.
“I’m sorry, but that seems difficult. Chinese people actually do become members often, although they are quickly driven out by the territorial attitude of existing members.”
“Then what about the Japanese?”
“Among the key members, there is one with a very close relationship with the Japanese hunter industry.
Is that why I have no choice but to infiltrate as a Korean?
Korea has also become a hunter powerhouse for a while, so it wouldn’t be strange if there were one or two new members.
Seo Ji-yu, who was admiring the scenery outside her window, asked cautiously.
“In England, is that… Atmosphere good? Things like raids and dungeons.”
“Yes. The situation in London is very stable even in Europe. Because it is an island country, it is relatively easy to defend. The population is also quite large.”
Of course, the UK is not a very small country, but…
At least you won’t be ‘thrown’.
Seo Ji-yu tilted her head at my supplementary explanation.
“Toss?”
“Usually on land, if a monster appears in the border area, it is kicked out to another country. In particular, if a raid boss appears, it’s a real hell. It’s not a complete mess because we don’t want to catch each other.”
“Ah… Come to think of it, I think I’ve seen it on the news a few times.”
“Right?”
Korea is also an island country, so it is the same that it does not get thrown well.
In addition, England was able to absorb many hunters from other countries based on this superior geographical condition.
Thanks to this, the UK’s hunter power is very strong in Europe.
“That’s why you can do nonsense like an underground arena.”
Of course, no matter how much English hunters fly and crawl, all of them are cut on the Yeriel line.
I went into the house of an existing member to introduce us with a sense of needless pride.
Seo Ji-yu opened her eyes wide when she saw her mansion, which seemed to be using her old name as it was.
“Wow, that sounds great.”
“Yeah. I think the management fee in particular will be exorbitant.”
It’s hard to see because it’s night, but if you look closely, only the noticeable places are cleaned.
Places such as fences and corners have long been untouched by humans.
“Are you in debt?”
“Exactly. Then let’s meet right away.”
The guide for this operation was a young man who felt much younger than expected.
When he saw me and the Servant, his body immediately trembled.
I don’t think I’m being treated very well by the company.
“I-over there…”
“You don’t need to be too scared. It’s not my role to threaten or silence you.”
“If you really cooperate this time, will you pay off the debt?”
We looked at him and laughed silently.
I took the Servant aside and asked quietly.
“By the way, can a guy with debt get in and out of the black market? I heard that only rich people go there?”
“You don’t have to worry about that. The debt was due to gambling in the underground arena in the first place.”
“Ah, that’s how it happened.”
“And if you look at the Korean proverb, even if a rich man perishes, his third generation will last, right?
But. Gathering hunters and doing underground fighting competitions, there was no way gambling was missing.
Losing sympathy for him, I started checking his stealth profile.
My role this time is an executive of the association and a traitor who flew all the way to England to sell the latest Korean hunter equipment.
Kim Jeong-tae is, of course, an escort, and Seo Ji-yu is a secretary and lover.
Of course, I’m the most important role, so I’ve been memorizing the settings since yesterday…
The eyes of people who saw me like that were not so bright.
There is nothing wrong with my memory, so the acting looks very awkward.
But everyone around me was not in a position to point it out easily.
“Then let’s do this for today. There’s still a bit of preparation time left…”
“Chi… You can use this side of the bedroom.”
“Thank you.”
After using the guest room of the mansion, I quietly called Seo Ji-yu and asked him honestly.
Apparently, she is the one who can speak the most honestly.
“Mr. Jiyu, is there something wrong with my acting?”
“A problem? It’s okay to be honest.”
“When have you seen me get mad about something like this?”
Seo Ji-yu, who nodded her head slightly, hesitated, then she confessed.
“Should I say that the acting is too hard compared to the role?
“Yes? Which part exactly?”
When I took a step closer and asked seriously, Seo Ji-yu smiled awkwardly and took a step back.
“Overall, the attitude towards me was very clumsy.”
“Clumsy?”
“I-I am the lover of the team leader Seol Seol-sang, right? But the team leader still has the attitude he used to treat his wife his, so should I say that he is too polite and strict …”
Seo Ji-yu, blushing slightly, emphasizes the part called ‘set-up’.
Her explicit use of words made me feel ashamed as well.
“A lover…”
“A lover or a concubine, that’s it. An enjoyment partner who has no thoughts of marriage. They may be in love, but it’s only a physical relationship. There’s no need to sincerely cherish and care for them.”
Seo Ji-yu calmly said only the right things.
This woman, she has always been sincere when it comes to scams.
Even though I knew she was right every word of it, I ended up replying defensively.
Since she is famously married, she can’t help it.
“Should I go that far?”
“This time, the team leader is a much more dissolute and immoral role than before. He’s a so-called guy who knows how to enjoy life. But even if I’m close to him, it’s not like I’m still like a wooden stone.”
Certainly, the role this time is different from the previous ones.
It’s hard to go back to a more modest setting now.
I wanted to leave out Seo Ji-yu altogether, but she was far above me when it came to acting like this.
In the end, I apologized to Yeriel in my heart and made up my mind.
“Okay.”
“No. It’s a bit difficult even if you suddenly say you know… Alas…”
As she hugged the embarrassed Seo Ji-yu with one arm, she felt her rather voluminous body with her.
In fact, this one’s physicality is no less than Yeriel’s.
It was no wonder that the men who had been deceived by her came to her trial and defended her.
When she remembered Seo Ji-yu’s past her, she strangely calmed down and became comfortable with her.
To be honest, I think it’s okay to be a bit mean because the opponent is the opponent.
“Because I got permission from Yeriel anyway…”
“I-I see. Then me too…”
Seo Ji-yu let out a small sigh and nodded to her, and she kissed her lips somewhat abruptly.
I flinched at the moment, but that side is also formidable.
Two people who are constantly fluctuating throughout the kiss will never look like a natural couple.
“Oops.”
“Puh, ha, ha… Sa, there’s no need to decline. It’s acting anyway.”
“Who said no?”
“Then… Shall we do it again?”
We couldn’t bear to make eye contact with our faces blushing.
Moments later, in the darkness, a soft touch approached once more.
