Chapter 154

I could not respond to what Hyunjae Sung was saying . While Yoohyun had appeared immediately after my return, I still would have run to Haeyeon Guild even if he had not . I would have needed to confirm that Yoohyun was alive with my own eyes .

Anything else that happened after that would have been similar to what had occurred up to now .

“The reason you cover for your brother and want to do everything for him-“

Hyunjae Sung stopped mid-sentence and looked back at me . I wanted him to shut up, and he did not continue . I felt sincerely grateful this time .

“You became involved because I came back out of my own will . Don’t you feel that you’re a victim? You must have worked hard for five years . ”

“I feel sorry for my past self . ”

Hyunjae Sung clucked his tongue as his expression turned to one of pity .

“To live such a tedious life listening to a foolish lizard’s gibberish . I don’t know how I managed it . ”

He is the same person as you . I wanted to erase the times I wanted to apologize to him even a little . I thought Hyunjae Sung would think his situation a shame but did not expect him to criticize himself . Poor Mr . Hyunjae Sung of before .

“I’ll hear this outside the next time in more specific detail . ”

“In your dreams . ”

Did he really think I would tell him anything? I would not have said anything if he remembered after he got out…and probably would have torn me apart . Why was that guy so powerful on all accounts? I thought I would definitely win this time, but the memories of past battles before the return had sprung out .

I thought it would be enough to have double of Yoohyun’s stats and an attack skill buff, but Hyunjae Sung had memories of having been strengthened . It was inevitable since the buff was powerful enough to get me thinking Hyunjae Sung had been involved with the depraved or the filial duty addict .

‘Then, Yerim would be extremely powerful in the psychological world . ’

She had the memory of having received the Mermaid Queen skill . Only Yoohyun did not have one, and I should remedy this fact . I turned off the skill grumbling inside, and Hyunjae Sung disappeared while I also felt faint for a moment .

It was right then when someone grabbed my wrist, and I heard a familiar voice .

“Hello, Yoojin Han . ”

I saw golden eyes narrow at me . Did one come in when another went out? What was happening?

***

“No, it’s impossible . ”

Soyoung Kang stared at the man in front of her with some force . Minyui Kim from the Hayeon Guild was a B class supporting hunter . On the other hand, Soyoung Kang was an A class, and while she could not receive the effects of the Dragon Rider skill, she was still an attacker who fulfilled her duties .

So, Minyui Kim should not be able to even move in front of her and shrink like a mouse facing a snake at Soyoung’s glare .

However, Soyoung Kang felt the opposite was happening . She felt a tiny bit frightened at his cold eyes that stared back at her . Did he have a special skill? Since Yoojin Han would not go out with only an ordinary B class hunter as his guard, it was a high possibility . Or perhaps his actual class was different .

“Please wait here . You received a message that said Mr . Yoojin Han was fine . ”

“It was only a text message that anyone could send if they took away his phone . ”

“Are you insinuating that our guild leader threatened Mr . Yoojin Han? You’re stepping out of your bounds . ”

“Can you confirm that would not happen? Really?”

Soyoung Kang tightly shut her lips at his cold question . She did not believe her guild leader would harm Yoojin Han, but he would lay a hand whenever it was necessary .

“He, he is not a person who would lie by a false text message and expose that he had caused some mess . ”

Soyoung Kang was certain of that .

“Like pretending he was Mr . Yoojin Han sending a message saying that they would need more time to talk, so come if you’re worried…”

“Then, I can enter . ”

“No, I meant nothing is wrong up to now . So, you can’t . ”

A Sesung hunter approached the two who were causing a skirmish .

“Leave it at that, Hunter Minyui Kim . I’ll guide you to the sitting room so you can wait comfortably . ”

Minyui Kim or Yoojin Han did not even glance at the new hunter . Instead, he took a step forward towards Soyoung Kang, who was blocking his path . The Sesung hunter moved as he decided that action as a threat .

“I cannot overlook any more high-handedness . So excuse me-“

Yoohyun Han grabbed the hunter’s wrist the moment before his hand reached Yoohyun Han’s shoulder . He twisted it widely while Yoohyun Han’s other hand grabbed the hunter’s neck .

“Unf!”

“What are you doing?”

A surprised Soyoung Kang tried to make Yoohyun Han fall by kicking him, as Yoohyun’s grip became stronger . However, the hunter’s body was dragged upward and blocked Soyoung Kang’s kick faster than she could react .

Soyoung Kang quickly changed the direction of her kick, and her leg swung only to fall on the ground . She spun once using the foot on the ground as an axis, and this time turned the edge of her hand towards the back of Yoohyun Han’s neck . However, he was already not there .

The captured hunter rolled on the floor, and Yoohyun Han stood where Soyoung Kang had been and stared at her . Their positions have been reserved, and the two Sesung Hunters vaguely stared at him brushing his hands off as if nothing happened .

“Give me the portal key, and you can say I took it from you by force . ”

“No, wait . ”

“I’ll come back if he does not open the door after I ring the bell . ”

That would definitely not happen, and Soyoung Kang bit her bottom lip . Should she call for more support? But Soyoung Kang had to consider Yoojin Han if she was going to oppress him by force . They seemed to be close, and she could not displease Yoojin Han . In all honesty, Soyoung Kang valued her connection to Yoojin Han more than her position within the guild .

Also, the guild leader who could blame her would want her to focus on the latter .

“I’ll try to contact the guild leader for one last time . ”

She would have to let Minyui Kim go in if he did not answer . Soyoung Kang quickly took out her phone and called a number . Hyunjae Sung finally answered back, and he gave his consent after Soyoung Kang’s short explanation . She let out a long sigh .

“This is the miniature portal key . Please don’t forget to return it . ”

Soyoung Kang handed Yoojin Han the key and helped the hunter still lying on the floor with vague eyes . They stared at Yoojin Han’s back as he walked forward without any hesitation .

“He is not a B class hunter . ”

“No, definitely not . ”

If he were a B class supporting hunter, they would have to be downgraded to C classes .

‘Hunter Minyui Kim from Haeyeon . ’

Where had he come from, and why was he hiding his class? Soyoung Kang tilted her neck and could not stop looking at the corridor the man had disappeared into .
