Episode 61
Unlicensed doctor Park Min-jun.
The man, commonly known as Mr. Park, had a troubled expression on his face as he looked at the human lying on the bed.
“I’ve seen all sorts of people since I started doing this, and this is really… … .”
For Mr. Park, it was difficult to describe the situation in which the Titan Guild Master had come to this illegal facility and was being treated as a patient.
“Isn’t there really anything wrong with me?”
Mr. Park was worried about his own safety, thinking that he might have gotten involved in something unnecessary.
“You’ve seen too many movies, sir. How could anything happen if you save someone’s life?”
“Why do you keep looking out the window when nothing is happening?”
“hmm…….”
“I have no intention of kicking you out, so please be honest with me.”
Hearing Mr. Park’s words, Kang Jin-hyeok smiled awkwardly and scratched the back of his head.
“I can’t tell you the details, I’ll just say that I was being chased.”
“X-hey! I knew it!”
The Titan’s guild leader can’t even go to a proper hospital.
Just looking at it, it was clear that this was by no means a light incident.
If you’re not careful, your life could be lost along with the building.
But Mr. Park, as he had said at the beginning, had no intention of kicking out Seo Sang-ho and his group.
The most important thing in life as an unlicensed doctor is fairness in accepting any patient.
If you do business by accepting some and rejecting others, you will have nothing to say if you get stabbed by someone who resents you.
‘Damn, but it’s not human to just send a patient who came all the way here away.’
Even though his license had been lost for seven years, Dr. Park still considered himself a doctor.
Mr. Park regained his composure with a small sigh that no one else could hear.
“Now that we’ve put out all the urgent fires, you should be able to open your eyes in about two weeks.”
“Two, two weeks? Are you talking about being in a coma for that long?”
“There’s nothing I can do. If it was an ordinary hunter, I wouldn’t know, but an S-class hunter has been poisoned by this poison… … .”
The Basilisk is actually a monster that doesn’t pose much of a threat to ordinary people.
To a non-hunter, the basilisk’s venom would be only slightly stronger than that of a wasp.
The basilisk’s venom was like a natural enemy created to target only hunters.
As the Hunter’s stats increase, the danger of poison increases dramatically.
For S-class hunters like Seo Sang-ho, even a small amount of poison can put life and death on the line.
If he had taken just one more sip of the poisoned liquor, the cure would have been impossible.
It would have been unavoidable that he would become paralyzed at least on one side.
“It’s a blessing that I only sleep for two weeks and it’s over.”
“I guess it’s fortunate that you’ve been safe during this time.”
Kang Jin-hyeok clutched his head and slumped down on a nearby chair.
“What should I do with this?”
I didn’t expect that Seo Sang-ho would return to full power right away just because he was receiving treatment.
But it took two weeks.
Kang Jin-hyeok didn’t have the confidence to pursue the Titan alone for that long.
No matter how well you keep your mouth shut, birds hear what you say during the day, and rats hear what you say at night.
Given the Titan’s capabilities, they would probably figure out where they are in less than three days.
Mr. Park could guess what Kang Jin-hyeok was worried about, but he couldn’t give him any advice.
‘Tsk tsk, they don’t seem like bad people, but that’s too bad.’
While watching with regret, Mr. Park heard the doorbell ring and headed to the front door.
After confirming the other person’s face through the intercom, Mr. Park approached Kang Jin-hyeok again.
“I guess I should stop worrying about that.”
Kang Jin-hyeok, who had been bowing his head, realized that someone was outside only after hearing Mr. Park’s voice.
“Could it be already… … ?”
Kang Jin-hyeok took out a baseball bat from his inventory, thinking that the Titan Hunters had arrived.
Then Mr. Park shook his head and stopped his actions.
“They don’t seem to be the kind of people you think they are, so let’s talk about it first.”
“Who is it?”
“Well, I guess you know him well?”
Kang Jin-hyeok tilted his head and approached the intercom, whose screen was still on.
“uh?”
Kang Jin-hyeok discovered an unexpected character through the screen.
“Why are those people here?”
After a brief moment of conflict, Kang Jin-hyeok opened the door.
There must be a reason why you came all the way here, so I thought I’d listen to what Mr. Park had to say as he advised.
* * *
Sitting across the table from Kang Jin-hyeok were Lee Jun-cheol and Jo Hyeong-il.
First, they placed an object on the table.
A pouch that can fit about one camera.
Most likely it was inventory.
“First, I brought the potions you ordered.”
“You didn’t come all the way here just to give me this one thing, did you?”
There was no need for Lee Jun-cheol to personally take on this type of delivery work.

Moreover, tracking someone to a place like this, not even their home, was something they would not have done unless they had some objective in mind.
“As expected. The potion delivery was just an excuse.”
“Then what is your real purpose?”
“We want to get on the same boat.”
“… … .”
When she came to him out of the blue and said something like that, Kang Jin-hyeok began to have doubts before he could even make a decision.
“why?”
It was a literal question, not a question mixed with suspicion.
They were neither hunters nor employees of any large guild.
To put it bluntly, they were just people who picked up and ate the fallen beans.
“Do you know what is happening right now?”
Lee Jun-cheol nodded to Kang Jin-hyeok’s question.
“I don’t know the details, but I know that the Titan Guild Master has been involved in something unusual.”
At that moment, Kang Jin-hyeok glared at Mr. Park.
There was no one else here who could have told Lee Jun-cheol about Seo Sang-ho’s whereabouts.
“Ahem.”
Mr. Park, who had a prickly corner, intentionally avoided Kang Jin-hyeok’s gaze and coughed in vain.
“Didn’t you say that keeping secrets is the rule here?”
“No, that’s… … .”
“Why? Why don’t you try to make excuses?”
Kang Jin-hyeok reached for the baseball bat he had taken out in advance.
If you leave someone who leaks secrets to an outsider alone, there is a risk that they will confess to the Titans as well.
Seo Sang-ho’s treatment has just ended.
For Kang Jin-hyeok, it was wiser to keep Mr. Park’s mouth shut for safety.
Mr. Park was terrified when he saw Kang Jin-hyeok’s serious eyes.
If I said the wrong thing here, I felt like my head would get smashed in by a baseball bat.
“Oh, I see. It was my fault. I will refund all the medical expenses, so please calm down.”
He said he would pay back the medical expenses, which were several times higher than what a regular hospital would charge, but Kang Jin-hyeok was not satisfied with that alone.
“If we tell the people who are tracking us later, how can we get away with just that money?”
It would be better to break the pot now and live in peace.
That was Kang Jin-hyeok’s argument.
Mr. Park racked his brain to figure out how to refute that claim.
“If you want to live, don’t think about rolling the crowbar, and just do as you’re told.”
“Do as you are told? What on earth do you plan on making me do?”
“First, hand me your cell phone.”
Mr. Park obediently took out his cell phone and handed it to Kang Jin-hyeok’s extended hand.
As soon as he received it, Kang Jin-hyeok smashed the phone with the force of his hand and then extended his hand again.
“Give it back to me.”
“Again? Who else has more than one cell phone… … .”
“Use it.”
While dealing with Lee Jun-cheol’s organization in the black market, Kang Jin-hyeok learned enough about the situation here.
The obvious lie that ‘a person rolling around on this floor only has one contact network’ did not work on him.
“If we come out, should we do it one by one?”
“Ugh.”
Mr. Park took out all the cell phones he had, crying and eating mustard.
“Please, I gave it all away, so please don’t break it. I need to eat to live, too.”
Mr. Park prayed that he could become his hands and feet because if he lost all his contacts here, it would be very difficult to work here.
Kang Jin-hyeok also knew about that situation.
Kang Jin-hyeok had no choice but to hand over all the confiscated cell phones to Lee Hye-na.
“No matter what that man says, never hand it over until the job is done.”
“Of course.”
Even after all contact with the outside world was cut off, the punishment for Mr. Park is not over yet.
Mr. Park’s face turned pale as he saw Kang Jin-hyeok walking up to him.
“What are you trying to do now?”
“What is it? I just want to make a suggestion.”
Kang Jin-hyeok, who put his arm around Mr. Park’s shoulder like a close friend, pointed with his finger at Seo Sang-ho, who was lying on the bed.
“You need to follow us around and take care of him until he wakes up.”
“Ma, what if I refuse?”
“Do I really need to tell you?”
Kang Jin-hyeok smiled brightly and spun the baseball bat around like he was twirling a pen.
Mr. Park swallowed without realizing it and accepted the offer in order to survive.
Even though it was an unreasonable suggestion, it was he who created the opportunity in the first place.
Since it was Mr. Park who broke the rules, there was no one I could go to and complain to.
If word gets out on this floor that you’ve broken trust, you’ll be out of business.
“Have all the problems been resolved?”
When Lee Jun-cheol, who had been just watching, asked, Kang Jin-hyeok sat down across from him again.
“The problem starts now. To be honest, I don’t understand how you feel.”
“What does that mean?”
“No, what do you have to gain by getting involved in this matter?”
Far from being profitable, there was only danger here.
Of course, if things go well, the benefits that follow are great.
But the chances of that happening are extremely slim.
Kang Jin-hyeok owes Seo Sang-ho a debt and he can’t just leave them alone, so he helps them, but Lee Jun-cheol can’t possibly have that kind of loyalty.
Although Kang Jin-hyeok is in business with Lee Jun-cheol, he does not trust them.
Rather, I was of the opinion that I did not believe it.
How effective would things like loyalty and affection be for noblemen who even create black markets for money?
The situation here is such that a few pennies can make the difference between friend and foe.
As Lee Jun-cheol was a person who worked in such a place, he understood Kang Jin-hyeok’s suspicions better than anyone else.
Even when I thought about it myself, this suggestion seemed extremely suspicious.
Here, in order to gain the other person’s trust, you have no choice but to reveal your true feelings.
That was the method Lee Jun-cheol came up with.
“How long do we want to live our lives just cleaning up after the hunters?”
“… … What does that mean?”
“I want to take this opportunity to do business with pride.”
“No, then how?”
At Kang Jin-hyeok’s question, Lee Jun-cheol’s gaze turned to Seo Sang-ho.
“My guess is that there is serious internal division within Titan.”
“… … .”
“I see that it will be difficult for you to return to the old Titan. Then wouldn’t it be better to just split up?”
Only then did Kang Jin-hyeok understand what Lee Jun-cheol was trying to say.
“So, in short, create a guild?”
“Yes. What good would it do if an S-class hunter were here?”
“Are you in your right mind?!”
The one who shouted in anger was Lee Hye-na.
She had been chasing Seo Sang-ho since the first formation of Titan, so it was difficult for her to accept the suggestion to abandon Titan and create a new guild.
“Are you telling me to give up on Titan like this!?”
“Yes.”
“What, what did you say?”
“To be honest, the guild leader has reached this point. It is no exaggeration to say that Titan is no longer on Seo Sang-ho’s side.”
If not, then tell me why there are no followers of Seo Sang-ho around here.
Lee Jun-cheol demanded a rebuttal from Lee Hye-na.
But she couldn’t say anything.
As Lee Jun-cheol said, there were more enemies than allies on Titan.
They were all antipathetic to Seo Sang-ho’s policy and only sought to gain greater profits.
“You can’t fix a rotten group. You have to create something new. This is a method that has been proven historically.”
“But isn’t it a bit premature to be talking about that at this time?”
“This is a story that needs to be brought up even more now.”
This moment is the optimal timing.
Lee Jun-cheol had a firm belief.
