Chapter 558 – Rebellion (6)
Twilight Guild’s stock price is soaring every day.
Of course, since it wasn’t listed, the stock price isn’t really rising.
“Daeshin Corporation requested a meeting regarding collaboration.”
“I won’t do it.”
“Yes, I refuse. Next is a meeting for goods-related business…”
“I don’t want to do that either.”
“Then I will refuse this too.”
To be precise, reputation has increased.
When the guild was first established, companies and people who were intimidated by other large guilds wanted to meet somehow.
Disadvantages of a few elite guilds?
That has been broken for a long time.
There are two S-class hunters.
Here, Seoyeon applied for a promotion, and the stock price soared again.
If she successfully passes her promotion exam, there will be as many as three S-class hunters in one guild.
S-class hunters are excellent enough to develop their own power.
As such, it is rare in the world for a guild to have three S-class hunters.
Ji-an Yoon, who quit the association and joined the guild as my exclusive secretary, asked me.
“Are you really going to reject all offers?”
“Well.”
I don’t think I’m that narrow-minded.
Of course, on the contrary, if you ask whether the inside is wide, it is just as embarrassing.
Anyway, I don’t consider them all enemies just because they once ignored me.
But why do you refuse?
Because it’s not appealing.
“I don’t really like the offer. I feel like it’s okay to do everything or not.”
If you don’t have enough money, you’ll do anything, but that’s not the case.
After hearing the news that my guild members were active in the Sanctuary of Blood, the saint’s interest in the Twilight Guild increased even more.
So much so that whatever you want, just say it, and it will happen right away.
The saint’s wealth is enormous.
So much so that even the head of a large company can’t easily hand out a business card.
I have someone like that as my sponsor, so is there any need to be inferior to them?
It’s better to spend that time training than to waste time on useless things.
“That is certainly true.”
Her eyes become as bright as ever.
“I don’t think it’s just because I don’t like the proposal.”
“…”
This is why I don’t like quick-witted secretaries.
It’s just as she said.
Right now, I am preoccupied with other things and my functions have stopped.
Isn’t it obvious where I was distracted?
“Lim Na-eun Hunter… “Are you going to bring me back?”
“I guess so, right?”
The last look of the guy leaving is vivid in my mind.
It seemed like he was trying his best to cut everything off.
Like a person trying to erase the very fact that he existed in this world.
As if he planned to disappear after completely isolating himself.
But that can’t be true.
Because she wasn’t pessimistic enough to take her own life, and her life wasn’t in danger.
Then, there is only one answer.
The facade of that family must be suffocating her.
She speaks again.
“The opponent is Future Group.”
“Yes, I know.”
“And that you can’t predict what will happen next?”
“Of course I know.”
I do not overestimate my strength.
At the same time, we do not look down on the power of Mirae Group.
If I think about it calmly, I might be at a bit of a disadvantage.
Not only did he have financial power, but he also seemed to have considerable military power.
Last time I saw it, the vice president’s driver was S-rank.
“And yet you are willing to step forward.”
A cold, subdued voice flows through my ears.
I asked her with her blunt expression.
“Do you wish I didn’t do it?”
“To be honest…, Yes, it is.”
Yoon Ji-an seemed to hesitate for a moment, but then nodded.
“If you look at it calmly, the risks are too great compared to the benefits.”
“Yes, of course.”
“First of all, I… “I don’t want the guild leader, no, Mr. Dojin to get hurt.”
Affectionate gaze is directed straight in this direction.
Is it a benefit or a risk?
That’s what she said, but the only thing she was worried about was me.
I don’t want you to get hurt.
I don’t want you to get caught up in something dangerous and go wrong.
She opens her mouth again, clutching her heart that burst out in worry about me.
“Her hair says it needs to be curled, but her breasts say no.”
Clash between reason and instinct.
“Because I like Mr. Dojin like that.”
A smile appeared on her face, distorted by her worry.
“More than anything, I like Dojin who values his people. No matter what happens to me at any time, I have faith that Mr. Dojin will save me.”
“Mr. Jian…”
She returned to her usual blunt expression and continued her words.
“So do whatever you want. Please bring Hunter Lim Na-eun back at all costs.”
However, there is a red stain on both cheeks that cannot be erased.
“If you return safely with Hunter Lim Na-eun…, I will buy it and give you a reward.”
Wow.
Suddenly, I start to feel motivated.
“What award?”
“That…”
Yoon Jian can’t speak easily with a red face.
She cooled her face several times with her hand fan and continued speaking with difficulty.
“Well, last time…, That thing you said…”
“What I said last time… ?”
What is it?
I think I said more than one or two things.
When she tilts her head, unable to find her way, she closes her eyes and cries out.
“Yes, office desk… !”
Office desk?
“Well, go downstairs…, We are happy to serve you… !”
“Wow.”
I raise my body like the wind and leave the guild leader’s room.
“I’ll be back soon!”
Wait.
My fantasy!
* * *
Stones and floor that look like they were made by roughly cutting and removing uneven stones.
I walk absent-mindedly along a road where torches flicker at certain distances.
-“Okay, this way. There isn’t much left.”
Something is constantly whispering in my ear.
-“This way, sister!”
Sometimes in the voice of an innocent boy.
-“Kikiki… “Welcome to come.”
Sometimes in the voice of a kind grandmother.
-“Ohhohohoho! How ecstatic… !”
Sometimes in the coquettish voice of an arrogant woman.
Her diverse voice, regardless of age or gender, constantly dazzles her.
At first it was just scary.
I was filled with only fear of the unknown being lurking at the end of this long road.
But not now.
Now I just want to know.
‘Who on earth could it be?’
What is the identity of the being that calls me with so many voices?
The reason why you call me so desperately.
What will the future look like when you reach the end of this road?
The intense curiosity burns even fear and swallows it up.
Lim Ji-hoon, who was walking ahead, constantly looked back and examined his younger brother’s expression.
I was curious.
When you encounter something unknown that surpasses even the infinite imagination of humans.
What kind of expression will she make?
Yes or no.
‘Just a little more.’
Lim Na-eun walked constantly.
It whispers in my ear.
-“It’s soon.”
-“We can finally meet.”
-“Hold on a little more.”
A young man, a child, and a grandfather remind us that the destination is not far.
Eventually, the end of the long road becomes visible.
At the end of the road, which was either a cave or a tunnel, was a huge temple.
A huge stone pillar reminiscent of Ancient Greece.
A huge roof placed on top of it.
Also, there are statues of all kinds erected in front of it.
Children, adults, seniors.
Man and woman.
Each statue with a different appearance was accompanied by a book.
In a child’s arms, on an adult’s hand, between the armpits of an elderly person.
As I approached as if possessed, the huge door of the temple that had been tightly shut began to open of its own accord.
Creep… !
The interior, which is as large as the exterior, is gradually revealed.
A long worship chair made of stone.
Various statues standing next to it.
A torch that softly illuminates the surroundings.
Stepping on the red carpet spread between them, you lightly advance and arrive at the end of the temple.
A being sits on a huge throne in a bored posture.
Yes.
An unknown being that can only be described by saying what kind of being it is.
It raises the body.
Height seems to be easily over 3m.
Long lace that adorns the puffy shoulders and wrists.
A costume made of colorful fabric that would have been worn by royalty in the Middle Ages.
Several people’s faces are placed on the large frill at the neck.
“Welcome.”
A fascinating young woman.
“Hol hole…, It’s finally here.”
A kind-looking grandmother.
“Nice to meet you!”
A kid who looks like a naughty boy.
“Did you boil and eat slugs? How can it be so late, so late!”
An impatient grandfather.
“But it’s okay. Because it’s not too late.”
A handsome young man.
Her various genders, her young and old’s heads turn one by one to welcome and scold her.
A chilling energy runs down her spine.
Facing this strange being, she recalled the fear she had forgotten for a while.
“Ah…, Eww…, OMG…”
I’m so oppressed by fear that I can’t even speak.
Still, it’s really strange.
The more scared I became, the more curious I became.
What is it?
The true identity of that being that evokes fear in humans.
Deeper curiosity suppresses fear.
Finally, I ask.
“Who…, Who…”
An answer comes back to an unanswered question.
“I am a seeker of knowledge.”
A fascinating woman.
“I am a predator of knowledge!”
A grandfather with an impatient personality.
“I can read human minds!”
An innocent kid.
“He is also the one who controls the past, present, and future of this world.”
A handsome man.
“Finally, that knowledge will widely benefit humanity.”
A kind grandmother.
Each person introduces themselves in their own way.
After each of her faces turns around, another face faces her.
“My name is Dantalion.”
A middle-aged man wearing a crown on top of his voluminous hair.
He.
“He is the savior who will lead ignorant and blind humanity to eternal abundance through knowledge.”
Concluded her own existence.
