Episode 227
“Congratulations on your promotion.”
With sparkling eyes as clear as a lake, Maria congratulated Jeong Soo-min.
Although this was a congratulatory message from the most beautiful and capable of the hunters, Jeong Soo-min did not look very happy.
“It’s just that there are more seats left.”
Team leader Jeong Soo-min.
No, the man who was now in the position of manager smiled bitterly.
The larger and sturdier the wall, the more uncontrollable it becomes once it begins to collapse.
The current Glory Guild was in exactly that situation.
The missile that Doisu created to destroy the old faction of the association had an effect on other groups as well, like a grenade.
Numerous people who had been parasitic for corrupt forces in the shadows were implicated one after another, and the Glory Guild in particular was much more serious.
“Two-thirds of the executives have been arrested or are under investigation. “I’m just doing the work that the guild’s senior leaders should be doing.”
However, unlike Jeong Soo-min’s humility, his position within the Glory Guild has become more solid than before.
A few days ago, the chimera appeared.
Of the two teams of similar skill, one was destroyed, and the other was able to calm the situation without any significant damage.
Of course, it was the Maverick’s power, not his own, but the decision to call the Maverick in that situation alone was worthy of applause.
The problem was not trust in Jeong Soo-min, but trust in ‘Glory Guild’.
“There are already a lot of rumors here and there that they are targeting the Glory Guild’s jurisdiction. Glory Guild will probably be challenged by numerous guilds in the jurisdictional review later this year.”
The largest and strongest guild in Korea.
Such a guild was unable to solve a monster in the middle of Seoul and received help from the Maverick.
It was a hole that other guilds thought would be too easy to dig out.
To make matters worse, the leadership was shackled in connection with the association’s corruption.
The Glory Guild was literally in a quandary.
“If you commit a crime, you must be punished. “If you don’t have the ability, you give up the job.”
Even while watching Cheon Hae-seon sipping coffee, Jeong Soo-min could not get as angry as before.
Because there wasn’t a single mistake in what he said.
“So, why did you ask to see Maria?”
I wanted to scream and ask why you, who weren’t even involved, were asking that, but I couldn’t.
Because Maria was casting her kind eyes towards Cheon Hae-seon, but could not hide the infinite trust contained within them.
“It’s the same as what I said before. “I hope Maria will lead the Glory Guild.”
Since this had already been said once, neither Maria nor Cheon Hae-seon, who came with her, seemed particularly surprised.
“I already met people from the Glory Guild. “About what to do with CEO Koo’s share.”
“How did you respond?”
Maria’s answer completely shattered Jeong Su-min’s expectations.
“I said I would sell it.”
“under… … .”
Although he knew it was somewhat rude, Jeong Soo-min could not help but sigh deeply.
Maria’s share of Glory Guild is less than half of Gugeon’s.
If someone with a lot of money buys out Gugeon’s shares all at once, the owner of Glory Guild will change overnight.
Of course, the way a guild operates is different from a typical company.
The people who work here are not office workers, but hunters who do their best.
In today’s society where one does not know when and where one will die, hunters cannot tolerate someone who is not stronger than them at the top.
If that happens, existing guild members will leave the Glory Guild en masse, and weakening its power will become as obvious as seeing fire.
The sigh that Jeong Soo-min was currently exhaling contained such meaning.
‘This person truly cares for the Glory Guild.’
Maria’s smooth eyes turn to Jeong Soo-min, who is lowering her head.
I knew from a long time ago that he was a capable and upright person.
If you add up the number of large dungeons and gates that were handled together, even ten fingers were not enough.
So I was considering his request very seriously.
So this was the conclusion I came to.
“Do not worry too much. “I decided to sell it to someone trustworthy and responsible.”
“Is that so… … .”
Jeong Soo-min answered weakly with her head pressed against the table.
These were words that could not be comforting no matter how you heard them.
In his opinion, there was no one better suited to lead the Glory Guild than Maria.
Is it fortunate that I am a hunter?
She, who had never been one to give positive statements, could have been a good person in her own right, to the point where she could be called ‘reliable and responsible.’
‘for a moment.’
Jeong Soo-min felt a slight tickle at the tip of her nose.
A strange sense of discomfort stimulated his nerve endings.
‘It’s a bit much to say this, but… … There must be only a few hunters that Maria knows… … .’
Despite her star quality, Maria tends to shy away from external activities.
Most people did not know her whereabouts even within the guild, let alone broadcasting.
Unless it is something special, he never appears at public events, and despite his brilliant appearance, he has never filmed any commercials other than Glory Guild.
It hurts to say that I don’t have any friends with other hunters.
Does that mean that a person like that would make such an affirmation as if he knew this particular hunter so well?
‘no way.’
There was.

It’s just because it doesn’t make sense.
There were certainly people whom Mary could trust and have confidence in their disposition.
‘Irregular?’
Is there such a rich person among the Irregulars?
Jeong Soo-min thought of the faces of the Irregular members one by one.
‘no. ‘Too young.’
Not to mention Kang Jeong-hyeon, and the same goes for Bisu and Cheon Hae-seon.
Although I couldn’t clearly remember the information about Chen, Chen was also the rice(?) of those herbs.
‘Is it Yukcheolwan?’
But that didn’t make sense either.
As far as he knew, Yuk Cheol-wan was not a very wealthy hunter.
Before joining the Mavericks, he only wandered around the Poison Dungeon and played the role of a ‘cleaner’.
‘I can’t figure out who it is.’
Su-min Jeong chose a direct method instead of making inferences.
I didn’t know if he would give me an answer, but I was planning to ask him directly who the hunter was.
“if… … “Can you tell me who that hunter is?”
Then Maria’s head slowly turns.
At the end of my gaze, there was a genius who was sipping coffee in an obnoxious way.
‘Why are you looking at Cheonhaeseon?’
At first, I thought he meant to ask if it was okay to talk.
When it came to important issues, Maria always asked Cheon Hae-seon for his opinion.
“… … ?”
However, neither Maria nor Cheon Hae-seon said anything.
Only after a long time had passed, Jeong Soo-min was able to realize that it was not ‘asking for opinions’ but ‘answering her own questions.’
“Che, are you saying you’re selling it to Hunter Cheon Hae-seon?”
“yes.”
Su-min Jeong’s eyes turn to Hae-seon Cheon.
Cheon Hae-seon was still sucking on his Americano through a straw.
I turn my gaze back to Maria.
I wondered if he was making fun of me or lying, but Maria was the exact opposite of such behavior.
Su-min Jeong asked the most basic question at this point.
“With what money?”
The reason Cheon Hae-seon was excluded in the first place was because of money.
Cheon Hae-seon, who has just entered into terms of terms, buys half of Glory Guild’s shares?
It almost sounded believable to say that I had bought a luxury bag with a piece worth 1,000 won.
Sigh.
After drinking coffee until the very end, Cheon Hae-seon finally opened his mouth.
“I have a lot of money.”
“No, anyway… … .”
Cheon Hae-seon cut off Su-min Jeong’s words and entered.
“Do you know how much a golden bunch costs?”
“yes… … ?”
“What about 10g of pranium?”
“… … .”
Jeong Soo-min could not answer.
This is because the two items that Cheon Hae-seon mentioned earlier were expensive.
“I have dug up more than a dozen euphorbias so far, and the praniums I have at home weigh in the tens of kilograms.”
“yes?????????”
Jeong Soo-min’s chin dropped as if it was about to hit the floor.
This is because the units he listed alone can be worth hundreds of billions of dollars.
“I was a bit of an angler for a while. “I also caught two or three Giant Treasures, which are the source of Pranium, and since the other world fell into the hands of demons anyway, I also collected a lot of gold coins.”
“Ah, antlers?”
Jeong Soo-min asked back with a shocked expression.
Cheon Hae-seon was saying that he obtained items without any hesitation that the entire guild would have to do their best to obtain.
“In addition, minerals obtained from the Poison Dungeon and the spirit world, and rewards sent by WHPO and the Association. “Well, when you put all this together, it’s worth living, right?”
After saying that, Cheon Hae-seon pouted his mouth towards Maria as if he were being rude.
“I thought they would give me a reasonable discount, but they didn’t deduct even one won from the valuation. “They say you know the insides of ten streets, but you don’t know the insides of people one way away.”
Maria smiled slightly and shook her head.
“The value of the Glory Guild was created through the blood and sweat of hunters. “I can’t sell it at a discount at will.”
“Me too.”
Because of Cheon Hae-seon’s sly attitude, I suspected that he was trying to scam me to my face.
However, looking at the personality of the person Cheon Hae-seon is talking to, ‘fraud’ is nonsense.
‘Cheon Hae-seon really bought the Glory Guild at full price.’
On the one hand, I didn’t understand.
Wasn’t Cheon Hae-seon originally a free spirit who liked to operate as a small elite?
If he had wanted to join the guild, he would not have rejected the offer of Goo Geon, who had made a bundle of money in the past.
“Don’t worry too much.”
As Jeong Soo-min’s pupils continued to swing like pendulums, Cheon Hae-seon smiled warmly for the first time.
“At first, I thought most Glory Guilds were trash blinded by profit. However, I learned that among hunters who have first-hand experience on the battlefield, there are many who do not. It’s all just… … “They were similar people.”
“… … .”
“And among them, there was a leader who knew how to bend his pride to save lives.”
Jeong Soo-bin was able to realize later that those words meant herself.
“Even if we buy shares, Maria and I will not act as representatives.”
“yes?”
That was surprising in its own way.
Isn’t this a position where you can control most of the Seoul area with just a flick of your finger?
Even so, Maria, I never thought even Cheon Hae-seon would refuse to be the representative.
“We have already seen the right person who can run the Glory Guild well. “A person who perfectly dealt with the chimera that appeared in Seoul without any damage to his teammates.”
Jeong Su-min pondered Cheon Hae-seon’s words one by one.
Then, he asked back with a face that looked like he was about to faint.
“Are you talking about me?”
“yes. We believe that Team Leader Jeong Soo-min is truly worthy of being the CEO of Glory Guild.”
“What is that… … .”
It was a story so shocking that I couldn’t even put it into words.
He is a team leader, or rather, he has just become a manager and is the representative of the Glory Guild.
The stories I heard from them here today were unrealistic from beginning to end.
“There will be more than one person who opposes it.”
“If you criticize, you criticize. “If you combine Maria’s shares with mine, it’s well over a majority.”
“There is a possibility that hunters who do not agree will leave in droves.”
“Good for you. “I also plan to rebuild the Glory Guild from the beginning.”
‘He is a person with whom I cannot communicate… … .’
Su-min Jeong had to feel dizzy.
Cheon Hae-seon in front of us was aiming to improve the Glory Guild’s perfect constitution.
Even if the size of the guild is divided into several equal parts.
“Please take care of me. “CEO Soo-min Jeong.”
How bewildering.
Jeong Soo-min couldn’t bear to hold Cheon Hae-seon’s hand, which he held out with a cool smile.
