Chapter 338 – Seven Deadly Sins (5)
Right before leaving the guild hideout.
He stood in front of the full-length mirror placed on one side of the guild room and looked at his changed appearance.
Instead of the suits he wore every day to work, silver-grey armor.
The image of a successful entrepreneur that I felt when I was wearing a suit has disappeared.
The only thing left in front of the mirror is a veteran who has overcome countless deaths.
He shuddered at the dignity and charisma that could not be captured in photos or videos.
“Is this my country… !”
Everything you see in the mirror is your own.
Even the armor that everyone knows by name put their heads together by ten artisans.
A sword obtained from the S-class dungeon, ‘Ahryong’s Nest’, which is considered one of the worst dungeons in Korean history.
Artifacts armed with various stat boosts and useful features.
And the body of a majestic warrior wearing all of this.
“Heh, heh…”
I feel it all over again.
He realizes that he has become S-class Hunter Son Siu.
I was desperate when I found out that Han Joo-hee and the show window couple, who looked like a parakeet couple on the outside, and that their bodies were gradually deteriorating due to damage to their magic circuits, but that’s not the case anymore.
Didn’t I get a way to heal my body and a strong helper to help me with it?
There are still a lot of uncertainties, but it doesn’t matter anyway.
If you can recover your broken body and hold Han Joo-hee in your arms, would that pseudo-religion be great?
Around the time when I was standing in front of a mirror and immersed in self-love.
Clever!
“Guild leader, it’s time to leave.”
The voice of the female secretary coming from outside.
In response, Son Si-woo hid the excitement that was evident in his expression and left the guild room with a stylish step.
“Egg plant.”
Eventually, he took the elevator and arrived at the lobby.
Click!
Click click!
Dozens of reporters repeatedly press the shutter of a camera reminiscent of a cannon.
“Kyaaaaa It’s Son Siwoo Hunter!”
“Ah, what should I do… ! It’s so cool!”
Siwoo Son! Siwoo Son! Siwoo Son!
Fans shouting my name continuously filled the building.
I hesitated for a while at the hot gaze I felt for the first time in my life.
He walked leisurely across the lobby and out of the building, waving at reporters and fans.
A short question and answer period followed.
“Son Siwoo Hunter! How do you feel about returning after a year and a half after a sabbatical?”
“Haha, it’s been a while since I’ve had a real fight, so I’m a little nervous.”
“They said it was time to treat an injury they’ve been secretly hiding for the past year and a half, is that right?”
“Not at all.”
“All the party members who are going to attack together this time are faces you have never seen before, did you pick them yourself?”
“Yes, I picked them myself through meticulous testing.”
The level starts to rise little by little with each question.
By the time a question that is difficult to answer hastily begins to come out of the reporter’s mouth.
Employees who were watching the situation from behind blocked his way.
“Sorry, reporters! Let’s go now!”
Reporters who take a step back with a sad expression.
They say they are struggling to get more information somehow, but they couldn’t do that right now.
The opponent is the national hunter Son Si-woo.
In fact, it was only possible because of him that he answered some of the questions.
If you had blocked the way of another S-class hunter and asked this question, you would have heard a bad command instead of an answer.
Knowing that, they meekly took their steps back.
“Brother! I love you!”
“Please take a look here!”
“Please shake my hand just once!”
After responding with a smile to the relentless fans, Son Si-woo gets into the car.
He let out a thin breath and stuck out his tongue.
“And… , This wasn’t easy either.”
I thought the attention that celebrities receive was always good, but it wasn’t.
I don’t even know how far I have to answer the pouring questions, and there are so many demands from the fans.
In the meantime, one unpleasant word or facial expression can destroy the image, so it is very exhausting to be careful and careful.
I have respect for the real Son Si-woo, who has lived in such interest for decades.
But that was it.
It was burdensome, tiring, and a little annoying, but it was good nonetheless.
For the first time in his life, his interest in himself made even the annoyances that followed feel good.
But for a while.
“Im here.”
He swallowed dry saliva with a nervous expression in front of the crack he faced after getting out of the car.
The dungeon to be attacked today is ‘Forest of Giants’.
A forest where everything in the dungeon is geared towards a giant 7-8 meters tall.
A dungeon that is too strong to be an A-class, but a bit short of an S-class, and is in fact classified as an A+-class dungeon.
There is only one reason why this body is loved by the whole nation.
Because he is a guardian.
To defend the Republic of Korea by attacking atrocious dungeons that others cannot even dare to enter.
In other words, the moment you can’t fulfill your role, everything is over.
‘I hate that.’
From the moment he joined hands with the Church of Invidia, he was determined.
I want to live while enjoying everything in the world.
Wealth, honor and power.
‘I will never lose to him.’
Dojin Kim.
I will never go through the humiliation of being pushed away by the body I abandoned.
To do that, we need to let everyone know.
That he and Son Si-woo are in good health.
It means that the one who still defends this Republic of Korea is himself, not anyone else.
As he approached the rift with heavy steps, he chanted to the four paladins who had arrived earlier.
“All preparations for the attack must have been completed.”
“Of course.”
“Hoho, of course.”
“Hold on to your worries, brother!”
“…”
After seeing the four paladins showing their confidence in their own way, I feel a little relieved.
He gives orders to the amputee who will protect him until he can become a whole person.
“Let’s go.”
As if they had waited, the four of them reach into the crack and enter the dungeon.
Eventually, left alone, he let out a small sigh and stretched out his hand without hesitation.
* * *
Articles on the Internet were all covered with one person’s name.
[National Hunter Son Si-woo returns!]
[Son Si-woo, who is going to attack the dungeon after a year and a half, “I’m nervous because it’s been a while.”]
[Semi S-class dungeon ‘Forest of Giants’ clearing complete! Son Si-woo, who is not famous.]
[Son Si-woo, who started raiding the dungeon with a new party member. The beginning of a generational change within the guild?]
[As soon as you return, the crime rate of villains drops by 30%! Is this the ‘Son Siwoo effect’?]
As if waiting, all newspapers are writing articles about Son Si-woo.
When I click on one of them, I wave my hand at the reporters after clearing the dungeon… It’s not Son Si-woo.
“You’re losing money.”
Looking at it just makes me laugh.
“I heard that the bear does tricks and the money is taken by the bear.”
I think this photo is a clear example of the proverb.
The guy who must have been busy hiding behind the four people in the picture while clearing the dungeon made a fuss.
The two faces that appeared together in the photo centered on Son Si-woo caught my attention.
A skinny, skinny guy and a mysteriously attractive beauty who coexist with innocence and charm.
“Just look at this guy.”
That skinny guy with dark circles under his sunken eyes down to his chin is that guy.
The guy who threw the knife in the back of my head.
And that woman must be the Paladin who was chasing Son Si-woo.
“Oh… , It’s pretty good.”
She is a beauty of a level that is rare to see around.
“Son, you are blessed.”
It seems that he is finally blessed after doing good deeds by giving his body to a middle-aged father who is living a difficult life.
Thanks to that, I’m enjoying my life, so he should enjoy it a little too.
By the way.
“How far will that smoke go?”
There are no perfect secrets in this world.
Especially if it’s famous like Son Si-woo who is receiving everyone’s attention.
The skit created by the four paladins and the fake Son Si-woo is just a stopgap.
That’s why I’m curious.
“What do you want?”
What is the ultimate goal of those guys who earned time by acting like that?
What is certain is that both sides held hands because they had something to gain from each other.
And what’s more certain.
“Sup… , Things are not going very well.”
My current situation is not as optimistic as it is.
If my hypothesis is correct, there is a high probability that the main person in the religion that worships the dubious goddess named Invidia is also a “Person with qualities.”
And the same goes for the boss of ‘Zodiac’ that I bumped into once.
“How come the mass of enemies is as big as one?”
All the enemies you might face in the future have built their own forces.
On the other hand, all I was given was a body and four chick team members.
“Oh, one has been added.”
I forgot.
One more was added a few days ago.
As of right now, she is the most trustworthy and has a sense of power right away.
Hearing the name of the guild called Ansimhoe, this guy who was gritted and straight accepted his offer on the condition that he create a guild with a name he liked.
“… Are relief meetings really that bad?”
Intuitive, cool.
I think it’s really good.
“… Shall I ask someone else?”
Strictly speaking, the situation is 1:1 as both me and Xia Jung have different opinions.
Ask someone else and you’ll know for sure.
I close the article with Son Si-woo’s picture on the door and make a phone call somewhere.
A call that connects as soon as it starts ringing.
What.
Why so fast
– Wow… , What day is it today? Does Dojini contact her noona first?
I was worried for a while at the words of the other person, Juyeon, over the receiver.
Is this pure joy, or is it sarcastic for me who usually doesn’t keep in touch.
Of course, the answer is fixed.
“Hmmmm… , I will call you often from now on.”
-Really? Should I keep that promise? If you don’t keep… , Get punished?
I’m just reciting the answer.
– By the way, what happened? I’m sure he didn’t contact you simply because he wanted to hear your voice.
Quick-witted guy.
Skip straight to the main point.
“That… , I have something to ask you.”
-What is it?
What I need most right now is people.
A capable, trustworthy person who can stand alongside any enemies that stand in my way.
For that reason.
The phone call to Juyeon.
“That… , If I create a guild, do you plan to join?”
Juyeon is the most capable and trustworthy person I know.
If you have to gather your strength to deal with the guys who built their power earlier… , Among the talents that must be recruited in the first place.
A strange answer comes back to the question I threw at the risk of shame because I think I’ll regret it if I don’t put a word properly and miss it.
-My sister’s ransom is very, very expensive… ?
Okay.
That’s why I was ashamed to even say it.
Juyeon is currently one of the most expensive property hunters in the world.
If you contact a large rich Chinese or American guild, the down payment alone will easily exceed 100 billion won.
To a guy like that, without any specific conditions, saying, ‘Do you want to come in?’.
Where is there no mouse hole?
Hit me in the head and die.
“Hmm… , Just forget what I just said.”
-Huh? Suddenly?
So I decided to just do something that didn’t exist.
Even I think this has gone too far.
It would be better to ask after the guild has grown even a little bit later.
… Of course, that was when Juyeon was still a free agent until then.
-What… , Do-jin run away when she hears that your sister has a high ransom?
“No, what… , It’s true that your sister’s ransom is high.”
-That’s right, but… , If Do-jin is you, you can handle it.
“… ?”
What is he talking about now
I don’t know if it’s later, but how can I handle your ransom now.
While wondering, the guy’s words continue over the receiver.
-In exchange for the down payment, Dojin can give you you.
“No, but that’s a bit…”
I guess I’ll have to give up my soul.
Trying to seduce me with the excuse of joining a guild!
-Once that happens, my sister is ready to sign a lifetime contract… ♥
… It was too great a temptation to scold.
