Chapter 35 – – Patron Lee Yoon –
After crossing the border between civilization and the wild in a laboratory truck, the accomplished group changed cars once more in the middle.
Passing through the outskirts of the wide rice field, the density and height of buildings gradually increase, and finally to Seoul, where skyscrapers are lined up.
“Wow…”
Returning to the bosom of proper civilization after several years, Nayuri exclaimed.
The city of exiles also had traces of civilization in its own way.
But in the end, the shallow light that criminals gathered and made into slaves was like fireflies in front of the sun compared to the brightness of true civilization.
There were a lot of people walking in the streets, and there was laughter and energy.
People who each wear clean and smart clothes in their own way and wear at least one shiny accessory.
Only resignation and melancholy… Otherwise, the opposite atmosphere of the city of exiles, full of ridicule and lowliness, was clearly embedded in Nayuri’s eyes.
Even though they are cities built with the same concrete and rebar, there is such a difference.
Okay. It was like this.
In the past, the world that Nayuri belonged to was definitely this side.
He also knew that there was a deep darkness under the colorful exterior.
However, compared to the world of outcasts, which didn’t even have a fancy exterior, it wouldn’t be necessary to say which one was better.
“Pretty…”
The past, who thought she had been worn out and completely shaved off, felt that she actually remained, and Yuri secretly stole her tears.
Of course, she knew very well that the current me, Yuri, was a completely different person from her then.
As her outcast, the meaning of taking her A grade was already the same as proving that she was not just a victim, but a great perpetrator among perpetrators.
Perhaps in my future life I would never be able to enjoy true freedom there.
No treatment, no power.
Nothing would be less than what Nayuri enjoyed as a Class A outcast…
But she didn’t care.
The brilliant light of five colors engraved in the eyes.
It was enough for her to be able to see these lights again.

The van they rode drove around the city and entered the underground parking lot of a building.
It was a fairly large building, and the underground parking lot also boasted several floors, and a significant number of vehicles were sleeping quietly.
It’s amazing that so many cars still exist after the gate debacle.
Finally, deeper… Deeper underground, the van stopped, dropped off passengers, and left without a word. Another vehicle appeared next to them who were standing in a daze.
The car, which is the representative model of a certain car group that can be seen most commonly on the street, moved forward smoothly and stopped in front of Sung Ye-han.
Kiik-
Clap.
Han Si-won was the one who opened the car door and greeted the noble party.
“It’s been a while, Sung Ye-han.”
A non-Western style that seems to have come out of a painting.
She is a woman who looks really good in a suit.
Masculinity and restraint. Contrary to the stoic atmosphere, the antinomic charm of the feminine soft and rounded curves catches the eye.
Seong-ye-han coughed and looked away at the feeling that her chest was itching somewhere.
“Kuhm.”
However, as if she was already aware of his reaction, Seong-ye-han quickly regained her senses and answered at Si-won’s staring gaze.
“Yes, it’s been a while.”
“The lady told me to take her to the lodging right away.”
An inorganic voice that is polite but devoid of any emotion.
It seems that the degree of cold has become stronger. Sung Ye-han felt regret that his score seemed to have been cut.
But what? It is a man’s instinct to look at a beautiful woman.
Seongye Han smiled shyly and got into her vehicle.
Na Yu-ri and Shin Ye-hwa boarded after him.
Han Si-won looked at them once and then opened his mouth again.
“I’m sure… I’ve heard that woman is an outcast.”
“Yes?”
“Then wouldn’t a minimum restraint device be necessary?”
“…”
“What?”
Rather, it was Na Yu-ri who was surprised by Han Si-won’s words.
It wasn’t that she had any ulterior motives or anything else, it was just her calm reaction to getting her frog hit by a stone that came out of nowhere.
From Na Yuri’s point of view, she suspected that a weak A-class superpowered person like herself was doing something with an S-rank in the physical system right next to her, so she was even worried that the woman in front of her was not crazy.
If she showed even the slightest hint of something suspicious, she would be beaten to death by her bare fists, but she did something, but what did she do?
Could this be a plot to assassinate himself?
Yuri, who was trembling with her, glared at the woman in front of her and quickly moved her sides with her quivering eyes.
Fortunately, the monsters sitting next to her didn’t react to the secretary’s words, so Na-Yuri rolled her body a little more and shrank, shouting with her body that she was harmless.
Seeing Na Yu-ri’s reaction, Sung Ye-han laughed and replied.
“You don’t have to worry about that. If it were me and my partner, I’d be confident that I could subdue this bitch before she could do anything.”
“Is that so…”
Han Siwon with sharp eyes somewhere. Sung Ye-han shrugged her shoulders and didn’t answer.
In fact, Siwon Han’s words are an unmistakable theory.
As already mentioned, the perception of the outcasts was no different from that of humanoid monsters, so Sung Ye-han and Shin Ye-hwa, who had been freeing Na Yuri without any restraint, were unusual cases.
However, there was no way that she would do nonsense with two S-class beside her unless she was an orthodox Awakener or Yuri, so she didn’t really use physical restraints.
This is like a tacit promise made between Na Yuri and Seong Ye-han and Shin Ye-hwa.
However, for Han Si-won, who had no way of knowing this, it was understandable enough to think that Sung Ye-han and Shin Ye-hwa were too complacent.
From Han Siwon’s point of view. Of course, she was well aware that Seongyehan was not just an E-class hunter, and she knew that the woman next to him, whose face was covered by large goggles, was Shinyehwa, a former S-class hunter, but she couldn’t help it.
Even considering that the two of them are at least Class A, it was not her personal problem to leave an outcast of the same class defenseless like that. Because it was about the safety of the lady who would meet them in the future.
“Anyway, he’s an awakened person from the supernatural realm, so ordinary restraints are useless. Also, this ability itself is specialized in suppression, not murder… If you do something stupid, you can kill it right away, so don’t worry.”
When Shin Ye-Hwa also assisted Seong Ye-Han, Han Si-Won eventually had no choice but to bend her will.
Apart from Shin Ye-hwa being an ant-crazy bitch… And even if she didn’t become an S-class, Shin Ye-hwa’s reputation gained through 4 years of hunter activity wasn’t light enough to creak against an A-class outcast.
“If the lady is in any danger, I will shoot her immediately.”
Even so, it must be Han Si-won’s personality that can’t be helped by adding a word.
“At that time, I will move first than Siwon.”
Seong Ye-han answered, wrapping her one arm around Na Yuri’s shoulder.
He felt the woman’s reaction, flinching and trembling, but he said nothing more.
You should have understood this well enough.
“By the way… I heard you’re going to the dorm?”
Why are you meeting Lee Yoon? To Seong Ye-han’s words with such questions, Han Si-won answered calmly and in a calm voice.
“You will find out when you go.”
***
Seoul.
The heart of Korea, which was famous for rampant land and house prices even before the Gate incident.
After the gate crisis, people inevitably moved more to the city, and as a result, house prices skyrocketed even more.
“Wow…”
That’s why Seong Ye-han couldn’t hide her admiration at the sight in front of her.
A mansion like a huge castle that only appeared in dramas or movies somewhere… It’s definitely not.
However, the house in front of her was definitely a mansion.
It would be cheaper to use the top floor of any hotel, building, or apartment alone.
When Seong Ye-Han negotiated with Lee Yun, she asked for a house for one hunter team to stay as a condition of proving that she was A-level, but she expected a rather large apartment, but she did not think of a mansion like this.
In fact, she is an S-class hunter, and even the newcomer Hwa, who was raising her stock price, did not live in a mansion like this, so how much money would she require from the owner to live in a house like this?
Sung Ye-han, who was an ordinary person not long ago, could not even imagine it.
In any case, this revealed that Lee Yun was not just a person with a lot of money, but a man with a lot of money.
“We welcome your visit.”
The tall walls and heavy iron doors groaned open.
In front of him, Han Si-won bows in the form of a picturesque serviceman.
“The lady is waiting for you.”
While opening their mouths in amazement that they could not hide, Seong Ye-han entered the mansion following Han Si-won, who was walking ahead.
What is Yoon’s true intention?
Seong Ye-han captured her heart while imagining in her mind the image of a beautiful woman with her intelligent eyes.
She wasn’t a nice person to begin with.
Now, even if she was actually rich beyond imagination, nothing had changed about her.
Seong Ye-han, although not officially recognized, she was a hunter with a certain S rank, and even Shin Ye-hwa was next to her, so she said that no matter what Lee Yoon was, he would not be lacking.
