I was going to just let it slide, but the comment from earlier was hard to ignore. What did they say? That I received Ye Ilhoo’s favor?3763fc5f3618e0be

Of course, “favor” has two meanings. It could mean a servant receiving grace from a king, but that definitely wasn’t it. Especially since when I came out of the training room with Ye Ilhoo before, the hunters gathered there were babbling about something.2edc8538d9b7c014

“From that guy’s perspective, he did receive Ye Ilhoo’s favor, damn it. Did he even show up in the guild before? He was just hanging around in low-level dungeons.”0c2769e4c0c7df2f

It seemed like someone who knew the insignificant Kang Baram. Probably ranked higher than me. They looked down on someone they thought was beneath them, and now that person was standing out, their inferiority complex exploded. I’ve seen plenty of those types before.765dbf13b061c05a

Suddenly, the 08e2cc91b1 schedule Ryumin 84b5656f14 had given 695d996445 me flashed ca944d842e in my 946229c91e mind. Could the 332df65bb4 reason Kang d7b0fbe921 Baram died aa256756a0 be related c5a961135a to that 2bda325ae8 fact?0d2711b96a20fc54

Heo Taekgyun, 87dc555d9d startled, tried bd8f9edf18 to stop c7bc5e5d08 me, but 1e73c6b460 I was 4d33cc0eee firm. The strength in ab4fd8b6d5 my grip was 180ceef69e strong enough to 9c493d46dd be undeniable, and fc189b62b2 the guy looked 93293181c8 flustered.baee0c4bd313114d

If he had 151aa51e24 rushed at me 06158e23dc recklessly, I would baabed9608 have been knocked 8aeb8aebd4 out, but I 829fe702a6 wasn’t that stupid. I secretly used 5622bddf09 my ability to a2a85aefce hold the hunter b817f3db95 in place so 0c89a0df7e he couldn’t escape.2dffa6518fe36f83

One of the a7a90c2461 reasons I could 87bec9946a be so brazen 08e4e1ed48 was that not 698b9e8043 many people in fef7607c19 this guild knew 66507b51f7 exactly what Kang f2f27284ec Baram’s ability was. They just heard rumors ba56fc1885 and dismissed him as f6533e6c0b a useless D-rank hunter, f2eeb34159 a deadweight who only b9863c8d5d wasted his salary.6b377f51814d1a52

Then it happened.

It was 92824177b8 similar to d4fe7bdefe when I 1eaff3cfa7 first came c5b52118e7 to this 33c4d7724f world and 73108a0487 Kang Baram’s 0802425605 memories occasionally a94358ce54 surfaced.2ee413fc134c3541

How much stress had 0c77c222ab he been under to 3b390dce8e react like that? As‘Kang Baram’screamed almost hysterically, the 6396477bf9 hunters backed away as 03e1a56832 if bitten by a 3f545b5aeb mad dog.2e7927109fd8ccef

The scene 3a1af4eacc ended there. The hunters glanced bcdfbe0065 back and left, df52a9cf16 and ‘Kang Baram’ 1e5f9f8cff wiped away the 45798bffd3 tears with the 727465234b back of his 2b60aa135a hand and continued abf1400f10 on his way.b76d60a5e8dca2c7
