Recruitment Fraud(2)
“Uh, ah, uh, ah, hello!”
Twenty-six-year-old Sandra Gamble, whom I finally met, was young.
No, he’s not particularly young, but he looks strangely young. Is it because of my poor Korean? Or is it because Pharos’s gamble is stuck in my head?
If we were to simply discuss the difference in impression, Lee Mi-sun is just as different as Sandra Gamble. He was a person who sometimes got lost in depression while looking at the photos on his desk. Although she was more familiar with the sight of her screaming at Hong Seok-young, telling him not to treat her like an errand center, or screaming in a voice that didn’t know whether she was angry or giving up when an academy student blew up the director’s office.
Lee Mi-seon, who used to be, was now just a young aunt who made fun of her niece and told silly jokes and giggled. Between Hong Seok-young’s work, Da-seon’s work, taking care of her nephew, and the association’s work, she has been walking around with a blank face lately.
That’s what time is like. When did Gamble create Pharos? By the time we make it, Gamble may have gained experience and become someone I used to know.
okay. It could be possible.
“hi… do?”
Although I doubt that’s possible right now.
Besides, we no longer know what the future will be like. Pharos’s Sandra Gamble may not exist.
So I erased the face of the older Gamble I knew and looked at Sandra Gamble.
Nothing has changed from when I saw it through the video call.
Short, unkempt hair and thick horn-rimmed glasses. Even the checkered blouse, which can be said to be the model of an engineer.
“… … .”
I frowned.
At the same time, Gamble’s eyes quickly shifted between me, Lee Mi-sun, and Hong Seok-young behind me.
“… excuse me?”
Gamble eventually saw me at the front.
“That, uh, phone call… “You’re a hunter, right?”
The hesitation in his tone strangely reveals the innocence of a model student living in a greenhouse who studied all his life. The Sandra Gamble I know and the Sandra Gamble that Lee Mi-sun investigated were exactly like that.
A model student daughter who grew up under a father who was a magic engineer.
Because his father worked with the guild where Hope’s parents were located, Gamble moved to Australia and lived there when he was young. By the time he entered high school, he had returned to the United States.
Unlike Alex Hope, who could be said to have awakened at an early age and taken the elite course as a hunter, Gamble only awakened after entering college. Aside from the recent creation of Museon, his life has been nothing but study.
Creating a paper company and completely erasing any connection with himself was something a model student who only studied could not do.
I reached out to Sandra Gamble.
“My name is Woo Hee-jae.”
“ah! yes hello!”
As expected, Gamble shook hands with an awkward gesture.
The reason Lee Mi-seon wanted to gamble wasn’t just because of her research into magical engineering. Lee Mi-seon, who checked how he made Museon, was quite impressed by it and repeatedly expressed his admiration while relaying the information he heard from Gamble. It’s hard to believe when I see the woman shaking while holding my hand.
Or was there a reason why Gamble had to become such a cold-hearted businessman without blood or tears? Considering he died under suspicious circumstances… There is a possibility that Hope would not be safe in that future either.
Well, whatever.
I completely shook off the image of the future Pharos company’s gamble that was still lingering in my mind. There is a high probability that the Sandra Gamble in front of her will not become that woman.
When Gamble let go of his hand, Hong Seok-young, who had been quietly watching, took a step forward.
“Hello, lady.”
Gamble swallowed.
“We can finally talk face to face.”
Gamble is an awakener. It’s not enough to be active as a hunter, it’s just that you can barely feel the magic power. It is an appropriate level for a horsepower engineer.
But to feel magic is to feel it. Gamble’s body began to tremble as she felt the slight intimidation emanating from Hong Seok-young.
I sighed.
The future Sandra Gamble was explained in advance, but I don’t know why they bothered to test it.
It’s not that I don’t know the feeling of having to see it with my own eyes… .
If Gamble faints like this, it gets annoying.
I pushed Hong Seok-young aside.
Gamble’s eyes widened.
“I don’t want to stand here and talk, so let’s go in.”
I left Uirok in the hands of Daseon Hunter… . hmm. Still, it was quite useful as a hunter, but I felt a little sorry to be using it like a babysitter. That doesn’t mean I won’t use it in the future, though.
I took Gamble to the conference room. Now, we can finally get a clue about a world whose destruction is certain.
* * *
“Uh, yes. “The purpose of the ark is to open the dungeon door.”
Once the conversation began, Gamble quickly regained his composure.
“To be exact, it increases the lifespan of monsters that come out of the dungeon.”
“life span? “Is there a way?”
“I don’t know. Shan and Alex said that it wasn’t their specialty, so they couldn’t give Michelle the help she wanted, and Michelle didn’t want it either. So he doesn’t know how far the research has progressed… .”
Even the mouth that had been closed to Lee Mi-seon opened without resistance in front of Hong Seok-young.
“Inside the Ark… “I only know about the work that Michelle manages directly through Alex, so I don’t know anything more than that.”
“What if it’s something Michel isn’t directly involved in?”
“… “Some things Alex found out, and some things I found out.”
“The lady found out?”
I don’t know if he thought that he could get Hong Seok-young’s help by telling everything like this, or if he was scared of the attack by the men in black suits.
To be honest, I guess they were taken there by force. If you think about it that way, Gamble is accepting the situation surprisingly well.
“yes. Since it is a job that is done as a person, there are no gaps. Anyway, if you use a computer and a network, somehow… . But can you stop talking about that girl? “It’s very embarrassing for him to say ‘ma’am’ in Korean.”
“But that doesn’t mean we call each other by name in a friendly way.”
“… “That’s the way it is.”
I think I adapted well to the situation. You don’t have to worry. Although I am not in a position to worry about gambling.
“Then please call me doctor. “I have a Ph.D.”
“Well, sure.”
Seokyoung Hong shrugged his shoulders and accepted Gamble’s request.

“Then Dr. Gamble.”
“yes.”
“Let’s say Noah Michel increases the lifespan of monsters and opens the dungeon gate.”
“yes.”
“What next?”
“yes?”
“Is the goal of human extinction?”
“… … .”
Gamble, who had been answering well, stopped for the first time.
“Similar, right?”
“Why the question?”
“… “I can’t tell you this.”
“why?”
“Shanshan… .”
Gamble rolled his eyes and fiddled with his fingers, avoiding Hong Seok-young’s gaze.
“Because Shanshan said that you would protect me if he died.”
This is what Hope said before running away from Kim Chae-min’s magic.
“I’m the same. Me, Lee Jun, uncle… When Shanshan’s father dies, Shanshan is left alone. I hope he doesn’t go on a rampage for revenge. “I just want them to go back to their own people and live well.”
“… Are you betraying humanity?”
“Everyone wants their family to live without suffering, right?”
Gamble spoke confidently.
“But if too much of the inside story is leaked out, they will think that Shanshan betrayed me. “I have to leave a way for her to return.”
Lee Mi-seon, who was watching quietly from the side, was impressed. She would have said something if Kim Chae-min had not stopped her.
However, Hong Seok-young looked at Gamble’s face without saying anything. This time, Gamble did not avoid her gaze and looked directly at Hong Seok-young.
The stubbornness of never backing down was on his face.
“good.”
“… yes?”
However, when Hong Seok-young nodded without saying anything more, Gamble opened his mouth with a dumb expression on his face. Even though she said it, she didn’t think it would be accepted as is.
… Good luck too. I got caught. That guy is weak to stories like that. family.
Well, there are ways to force someone to open their mouth. It was mainly piglets who came forward. I remembered Oh Hyun-wook’s information, which was full of censorship.
But then you lose more than you gain. In any case, Gamble maintains a cooperative attitude, and Hope’s power is enough to commit suicide along with the Archmage. It becomes even more bothersome if we touch on that guy’s weakness and hold a grudge against us.
and… .
“Aren’t you saying that you will tell me when there is no way back?”
“… yes?”
“Isn’t it strange to say this?”
Hong Seok-young looked at me while scratching his chin.
“It’s strange.”
“yes?”
“yes.”
I sighed. So what that guy is trying to say is… .
“Can you tell me if Michelle or the Ark’s power is weakened enough that it doesn’t matter if Hope betrays her?”
“… … .”
Gamble blinked slowly.
Gamble did not understand what I was saying, or perhaps he was calculating my remarks and what would happen in the future. It took a long time before Gamble opened his mouth.
“Then I’ll tell you.”
“great.”
“yes?”
“Let’s just do it that way.”
The reason you want to crawl out of the dungeon itself is not important. The fact that it was successful twenty years later is important.
And that the grace period that I thought was twenty years may actually be shorter.
Because Gamble lasted for nineteen years, it may be that dungeons around the world opened twenty years later. As promised to Hope, they would not proceed with the work as long as Gamble was alive.
If that’s true, it would be impossible to know exactly when the ark was ready. If Gamble and Hope’s parents die, even tomorrow, monsters might crawl out of the dungeon.
… If Gamble survives, won’t destruction occur?
The destruction of the world depends on this woman’s lifespan?
This is absurd. Did that really happen? The only reason I’ve been saving the world all this time was because of the monster’s love? A heart for your family?
A feeling that was difficult to define arose in my heart. She wanted to laugh like crazy, and she also wanted to scream.
But I swallowed it. Because there was someone here who felt the same way I felt.
Hong Seok-young’s hand on the table was seen clenched into a fist.
Let’s think positively.
As long as Gamble survives, destruction will not occur.
There is a much simpler solution right in front of us than running around in all directions, nurturing talent, and preparing for unexplained destruction.
“however… Mr. Gamble?”
“Ugh. “Can’t I just call you Doctor?”
“Then Dr. Gamble.”
“yes.”
I raised my finger and tapped it on the table.
“Anyway, since it’s like this… “Shouldn’t you maintain a cooperative relationship with us?”
Gamble hesitated for a moment and then nodded.
“You originally wanted to create a company, right?”
“yes… . Because there is something I was researching. “If I want to help Shanshan, I have to increase my influence.”
“But you also know that it will draw attention to the Ark, right?”
“… … .”
“So, would you like to join our guild?”
“Gil, do you?”
“yes. “Hunter Seokyoung Hong’s guild.”
I smiled softly.
