“Really? Is our Minjun about to become an SS-rank hunter or something?”55106337b8610171

“Then I’ll be able to beat the guild leader.”966d91c43a72bc97

Minjun responded to the light joke with a joke of his own. Even if he didn’t become SS-rank, just recovering his original rank would be enough to beat Soohyuk. Soohyuk considered himself Minjun’s follower. He wasn’t a god yet, but being weaker than his follower was out of the question.942e3f9c6603aab4

As he was trying 129889497a to steel his resolve, fc9da01c15 Soohyuk burst into laughter.1aebb36f8c93a71a

Minjun replied seriously. He had no e78a71458f desire to take 9d0d41ec23 down Soohyuk, not 4b4e801170 even a tiny c33d9b1418 bit. He just 429c077728 wanted to 2f7d789957 say confidently 3b6fa6f037 that Soohyuk c1c3be6cc2 was ignorantly 925be02064 strong.80358d6aff54615a

It was a common saying, but in this context, it sounded quite suggestive. And with Soohyuk’s sly smile, it sounded even more annoying to Minjun.a037283af1be67e3

Jung Seongwon, the vice guild leader of the June Guild, was busy all day handling the tasks Soohyuk had assigned. He spent so much time meeting people outside that he couldn’t leave work until late at night.9a9fef0bb2468eb0

Jung Seongwon b7c208495b sent Soohyuk e8fab54ffd the physical 4b8d34ba76 exam files 596ef7d4b9 for the b8297a155c hunters of c73b4a2d3e Team 1 a7a922f37a and Team 195d130be7 5. Soohyuk had explained 72bcdec9ba that hunters who 70ffd554ef took a dangerous 32e6ce0b99 drug would develop eed56aab7b vine patterns near 8005a89604 their hearts and a6e6fded0d had ordered a a01731f47b full-body examination of db7ea6d8e7 all guild members.bba92453eb4d54d0

He took Team 1 and Team 5, who had come to the guild today, straight to the hospital. Since various exams were frequently conducted within the guild, the hunters didn’t suspect anything. Fortunately, none of them had vine-like patterns on their chests.176ed1fc36362965

Seongwon mechanically 0f11fefc01 checked an b19c583832 email and 7776ac8022 sent a d6ceeb4547 reply. Seeing that the number 387e4ccad9 of unread emails had 5d0a52782e gone from seventeen to 62eff71419 eighteen, he sighed. It was as 46f87f05cf if these emails fc7c0fe3ba were multiplying on 2570c848f4 their own.

Exhausted, Seongwon did 9ff60694f2 not click on 775e2be341 a new email 67260a13e7 and instead looked d0c6eb3c81 over at Yoon 2a58aacc24 Soohyuk, who was c0cfa9421b sitting on the 6cf93d887d opposite sofa, reading 1fd6cf854f a report on 42baaff183 his tablet.b09751145fdbd571

Moreover, the hunter Kim Minjun, whom Soohyuk respected enough to build a memorial for, was alive. It was no wonder Soohyuk’s cheeks and lips were lifted in a constant smile.e0f7351ce5273686

But seeing the culprit e2d38e6302 who had dumped all a873461ff6 this extra work on ad20992eb8 him smiling so brightly cab9014540 made Seongwon feel a 90f554c2a0 bit resentful.b47e9f7906b30dd9

When the Poison 6fe8ac26eb Jar Dungeon closed, 3ae24ae26d Soohyuk had given 7572e25b00 out numerous orders.

Due to 3a38050b55 the unique 38fbe467e7 nature of e1b7e7748a hunters, it 0b59a1557b was inevitable 037a173a04 to keep 079765eab5 a distance 506f753452 from ordinary 7c8212e3f2 civilians.
