Episode 31 Bait Guild (3)
31. Bait Guild (3)
Kang Hyun, who saw Kim Tae-soo fall down, came running in a hurry.
“Ugh…”
Kang Hyun was relieved to see that Kim Tae-soo, who was groaning, was alive.
“What kind of guy is that?”
“Is that kid your friend?”
The men giggled at the sight.
“Hey, you piece of shit friend. Get out of here with that piece of shit. It’s making me sick.”
The man who had beaten Kim Tae-su earlier approached and said.
“Huh… is that you?”
“What? If you’re asking about the bug I stepped on, then it’s me.”
Kang Hyun was relatively tall at 179cm. However, the man was tall enough to completely look down on Kang Hyun.
“What? Are you dissatisfied? You want to show off that you worked out somewhere? When I say something nice, take that piece of trash and get out.”
The man looked down at Kang-Hyeon and grumbled.
-Sudden…
Having experienced countless deaths, Kang Hyun’s normal human emotions have become worn and distorted.
It was the rest he had found after a long time.
Kang-Hyeon’s eyes rolled back at the fact that his peaceful time had been interrupted and his friend had collapsed.
“ha…”
But to those already heavily intoxicated by violence and alcohol, such facts were of no importance.
“Hey. Crooked leg.”
“what?”
“If you apologize sincerely right now… I will spare your life.”
“Hey. What is that idiot talking about?”
“ha ha ha!”
At Kang Hyun’s words, the men laughed, holding their stomachs. That got on Kang Hyun’s nerves even more.
“And don’t look down.”
“…”
“Because I feel bad.”
“But this kid is a total braggart to the end!”
As he spoke, the crippled man swung his fist at Kang-Hyeon.
-puck!
The fist of the croaker landed squarely on Kang-Hyeon’s jaw. However, Kang-Hyeon’s head remained still without moving an inch.
“What, what is it..?”
Crooked Legs stuttered in confusion, feeling as if he had hit a huge wall.
“I told you not to look down.”
-Crack!
A lightning-like low kick struck the leg of the crippled man.
In an instant, the bastard’s knees were twisted abnormally, the bone poking through the flesh.
“Kkaaaah!”
“Should I just bury my head in my mouth and apologize now?”
Kang-Hyeon hit the head of the crippled man who was screaming while kneeling with all his might.
-Bang!
The head of the sledgehammer crashed down at a tremendous speed, shattering the tiles on the floor.
“Hey, what’s that kid…?!”
“Hey. Jeong Sang-yeon!”
The short-legged man named Jeong Sang-yeon did not respond at all even when the group called him.
“Isn’t this dead?”
“That dog like that!”
“f*ck, everyone get your gear out!”
The villains took out their equipment from their inventory and rushed at Kang Hyun.
“Hiyaaaa!”
“asleep!”
Three capable people armed with swords.
It was a situation that anyone would feel was a crisis, but Kang Hyun was very relaxed.
He just stood there blankly without even taking out his equipment.
I just smiled as I felt the pain piercing through my body due to ‘Wayne’s Secret’.
“I guess I should try cooking for the first time in a while.”
Those who swung their swords with increased agility appeared slow, like turtles.
-Boohoo, boohoo!
Kang Hyeon leisurely dodged the sword strikes that were swung haphazardly.
The sight was as if he was the only person existing in another world.
“Profit..! Why isn’t this right?!”
“What is this!?”
Kang Hyun approached the flustered man and slapped him in the face.
-Tsk!
“Phew!”
The guy who got hit in the cheek and flew away was thrown straight into the table.

With his head down and his legs shaking, it seemed difficult to get up again.
“Ugh… Beast transformation!”
Another guy used the skill after seeing his colleague get knocked out in one blow.
Then the bastard’s eyes turned red and hair grew all over his body like an animal.
‘You have that kind of skill too.’
That was the end of the appreciation.
Kang Hyun looked at the man with an expressionless expression.
“Kwaaah!”
A man transformed into a beast, with claws growing out and his arms becoming enlarged. He swung his vicious arms at Kang-Hyeon.
-chin
But despite the strong momentum, the bastard’s hand was held in vain.
As Kang Hyun tightened his grip and twisted his wrist, the bastard’s body gradually collapsed in pain.
“What is this…”
‘I used beast transformation, but I was outstripped in strength!’
The bastard’s eyes widened at the unbelievable thing.
-Woodduk
“I thought it would be different because it was so fancy.”
“Kkaaa!”
“It’s disappointing.”
Kang Hyun completely twisted the man’s wrist.
The creature howled in pain as its arm was forced back into an unbreakable angle.
“What the heck is that… What the hell is this freaking thing?!”
The last remaining man panicked as he saw his colleagues being destroyed in an instant.
“Use some nice words, you punk.”
-Quick
Kang Hyun approached the man, grabbed his head, and slammed him against the wall.
“Ugh!”
“Why did you do that?”
-Crack!
“Ugh.. Sa, save me…”
-Crack!
“what?”
“I… I’m sorry…”
“Can’t you hear me?”
It was when Kang Hyun was about to hit the man’s head again.
Someone grabbed Kang Hyun’s hand.
“what?”
“Stop it. I’m fine.”
Kim Tae-soo, who had gotten up from his seat, grabbed Kang Hyeon.
“uh?”
“Stop it. There are a lot of people here.”
Only then did Kang Hyun come to his senses and look around.
All the people who had gathered were looking at him in fear.
-Quadang
“Ha, I’m so stressed out, I don’t even have anything to do.”
Kang Hyun, who had thrown the man away, approached the counter.
“I’m sorry. I’ll compensate you for the loss of business and the broken items today.”
“No! You don’t have to do that!”
“It’s okay, just tell me the account number.”
The owner, who had been watching the situation up until now, waved his hand in shock at the word compensation.
“It’s really okay!”
“Don’t make me a punk, just call me that.”
“No! You really don’t have to do that….”
When the owner stubbornly refused, Kang Hyun’s eyes sparkled.
“Please call me.”
“This is Agricultural Bank of Korea, 15-4231-5446-xxxx.”
The owner, whose eyes met mine, froze and gave me his account number.
“I sent you the money, so check it carefully.”
After finishing the transfer, Kang Hyun turned around and approached Kim Tae Soo.
“Whew, let’s go.”
“I never thought you’d be able to do that, but you’re also a power user?”
“That’s what happened.”
The owner greeted Kang Hyun with a loud voice as he left the store with Kim Tae-soo.
“Thank you! Have a nice day!”
The owner smiled broadly as he instantly earned two months’ profit for the store.
**
Kang Hyun, who came out of the store, told Kim Tae Soo what had happened.
The story of a man who lost his parents in an accident and started running dungeons after that.
It was something that took over half a year, but it didn’t even take 30 minutes to convey it to others through conversation.
“You’ve worked hard. Why don’t you at least contact me?”
“Sorry. I was out of my mind.”
After hearing the whole story, Tae-su Kim brought up the topic of the guild to Hyun Kang.
“I’m not in a high position or anything, but I can give you a recommendation. You’re more than enough, so if you’re interested in the Dangun Guild, let me know.”
“Okay. Thank you.”
Kang Hyun had no intention of belonging to any organization yet, but knowing Kim Tae Soo’s feelings, he expressed his gratitude and parted ways.
“Whew… I was out of my mind.”
Kang Hyun finally arrived home and sighed at the comfort he felt.
“Who did you meet? You smell like alcohol.”
“I just met Taesu.”
Ah-hyeon, who was watching TV in the living room, waved her hand and said hello.
“Good job. Don’t just stay locked in the dungeon all day like a crazy person. Go have some social life.”
“Anyway, what a bunch of nonsense you say. Tsk tsk.”
Kang Hyun clicked his tongue and went into the bathroom.
“Hey. What did you do?
A while later, Ahyeon spoke to Kanghyun as he was coming out of the shower.
“Wh, what are you doing?”
Kang Hyun, who was feeling stuttered, stuttered.
“Just. Someone came to the office today. They said it was someone you knew.”
“what?”
Kang Hyun made a questioning expression at the unexpected words.
No matter how much he searched through his narrow network of relationships, there was no one who would go to his brother’s company.
“He said he was a member of the Bait Guild and that he knew you well?”
“Bait..?”
Kang Hyun’s expression quickly hardened at the mention of the Bait Guild.
“I heard you suddenly stopped responding. Could you please pass this on to me?”
“Give it to me.”
Kang-hyun hurriedly snatched the note that Ah-hyun handed him.
————–
Mr. Kang Hyun.
hello.
This is Jeong Ui-Hyeon, the leader of the Bait Guild.
Although Mr. Kang Hyun declined our offer a few days ago, we are contacting you again with regret.
If you change your mind, please contact us below.
010-5296-1… .
I will wait.
————–
“These little bastards!”
After reading the note, Kang Hyun quickly took out his clothes and started putting them on.
“Hey. What’s going on? What’s going on?”
“You don’t go outside. Stay here!”
“Where are you going at this hour!?”
Kang-Hyeon opened the front door without answering Ah-Hyeon’s question.
“I’ll be back soon!”
-bang!
Kang Hyun, who came out in a hurry, called the number written on the note.
-hello.
There were a few ringtones, and then a familiar voice came over the phone.
“What do you want to do now?”
-Ah, so it was Kang Hyeon. Thank you for contacting us.
The voice on the phone was so bright, as if it was really welcoming Kang Hyun.
“Get the f*ckin hypocrisy out of here!”
Kang Hyun shouted into the phone.
“If it’s a threat, you picked the wrong person. If you touch Ah-hyeon even once, you’ll all die.”
-You are thinking such extreme thoughts.
“Is it extreme?”
-I just came to contact Kang Hyun. Phew…
The voice of Jeong Ui-hyeon speaking clearly showed signs of holding back laughter.
“You f*cking punk! Where are you?!”
-Please calm down. Not yet. I have no intention of harming you.
“…”
-Wouldn’t it be unfair if you got so angry that you collapsed from high blood pressure before your mother, who was lying in the hospital? Hehe.
Kang Hyun roughly ran his hand through his hair and sighed.
“ha…”
After taking a moment to catch my breath, I felt a little calmer.
The bastard had already finished his investigation. There was no use getting excited here.
“What do you want?”
-This is a guild membership. I’ll give you two days to spare, so if you change your mind, please contact me again.
Jeong Ui-hyeon, who answered Kang Hyeon’s words, hung up the phone unilaterally.
-Stop
Even after the call ended, Kang Hyun just stood there blankly staring at his phone.
“You crossed the line.”
Kang Hyun spat out his words with eyes filled with anger.
**
-Wow.
Ambitious vision.
Kim Tae-soo took out his smartphone as it suddenly rang.
“Kang Hyun?”
Kang Hyun’s name was displayed on the smartphone screen.
“What’s going on at this hour?”
Kim Tae-soo pressed the call button, looking puzzled.
“hello.”
-uh.
“What’s going on all of a sudden?”
-I’m sorry, but I have something to ask you.
“Please? What kind of favor do you want?”
Kang Hyun’s voice was very subdued, as if he was angry.
Kim Tae-soo asked in a worried voice, feeling that something was about to happen.
-Do you know of a place called Bait Guild?
“I’ve heard of the name since it’s a large guild. Those guys are really evil. Why those guys?”
The original purpose of the guild was to clear dungeons.
However, there were more guilds than expected that forgot their purpose and ran wild after money.
Among them, the Bait Guild was famous for making money by engaging in illegal activities such as occupying dungeons and stealing from capable people.
-ha…
“Why? What’s going on..?”
Kim Tae-soo’s expression became more serious as the name came out of Kang Hyun’s mouth.
-There was a fight with the Bait Guild. Those guys are using Ahyeon and her mother as an excuse to threaten us.
“What?! What are you talking about?”
Kim Tae-su shouted in surprise.
-He tells me to come into his guild and follow him like a dog.
“her…”
-Can you find out some information about them?
“Whew. Just wait. I’ll organize it and send it to you by lunch tomorrow.”
-Okay, thank you.
Kim Tae-soo ended the call and hurriedly contacted those around him.
