Even the Association's website does not reveal Hunter's home address, just their name and rank.


Individual hunters may choose to add additional information on their profile, but Jin Woo is not one of those people.


So if they know not just his phone number but where he lives as well, they are for sure


he has done a thorough investigation on her.


"Now if I think about it ..."


He remembered something from the day before.


“I feel someone watching me from afar today.Is that you guys? ”


Jin Woo's voice was filled with hostility.


Hearing this, the person at the end of the telepin explained in an apologetic tone,


“We are sorry for bothering you like that.There is something we want to confirm.


If we wanted to get you into trouble, we wouldn't call you like this


understand when you meet and hear our explanation"


Jin Woo hesitated, then replied,


"... I'll be there soon."

“Hunters,Grim Reaper,Knight,Myungsung, and us, Baekho.I'm sure you've heard


they each at least once"


Ahn Sangmin had mentioned the top 5 Guilds in South Korea.


Number one among them is "Hunters".


But that doesn't always happen.


Originally, Korea's number one Guild was the "Grim Reaper", but several members of the Grim Reaper were


get out and form their own Guild, "Baekho", so the Hunters take the place


number one.


And like a disciple who exceeded his teacher, Baekho had already surpassed the Grim Reaper as a Guild.


Now, they're chasing the number one spot.


Ahn Sangmin was sure.


The man sitting in front of him, Sung Jin Woo, will be the one to push Baekho to the spot


that number one.


He hands his business card to Jin Woo.


[Second Management Division of Baekho Guild,Ahn Sangmin]


"I was the one who oversaw recruiting and managing a new Hunter for one of the


the top five Guilds, Baekho.My name is Ahn Sangmin, head of the Second Management Division"


Other Hunters would bow their heads in a 90-degree angle even before


receive a business card.


Unless you're a Rank-S or someone standing at the top of Rank-A, Guild Baekho is


the greatest target of desire for most Hunters.


To be honest, Ahn Sangmin expected such a reaction from Jin Woo, but he was disappointed.


As if he was not impressed, Jin Woo calmly asked the question he wanted to ask,


"Why would someone working for the Baekho Guild conduct my background investigation?"


Ahn Sangmin flinched, though,


"Thinking that he would raise his head high after hearing our name ..."


Just from the introduction, he realized that recruiting Jin Woo was no easy task.


However, this made him even more desiring this Hunter.


A new recruit with fighting spirit is not a bad thing.


'Yes.You need at least this much spirit to be able to use anywhere'


Ahn Sangmin renewed his resolve once again.


"I'll make it short.Guild we want to bring Sung Jin Woo-ssi to be our part.


Whatever Yoojin Construction has to offer you, we'll double it"


The division head smiled.


He believes that Yoojin Construction is in the process of testing Sung Jin Woo.


'How stupid of you to do that'


Rank-C cleaning time Jin Woo.


The fact that he was a Hunter who experienced Double Awakening.


And the calm attitude he showed now.


Considering all that, obviously if you don't have to test this Hunter again.


‘They tested him as if they did not understand his true value.It is impossible for us


it will not beat the price. "


Therefore, Ahn Sangmin was convinced that Baekho could more than double the bid


Yoojin Construction.


Suddenly, Jin Woo's eyes were filled with coldness.


"How do you know?"


"H-hmm?"


Surprised by the unexpected answer, Ahn Sangmin stuttered in his words, which he did not


it was worthy of being done by a Section Chairman of a large Guild.


"How do you know and look for me?"


If words have physical weight, Ahn Sangmin feels like she will be destroyed by Jin Woo.


"What pressure is this?"


It seemed that the man sitting in front of him listed him as an enemy.


Now that she thinks about it, she puts a tail on Jin Woo and has asked for


met him out of nowhere.


Looking at him from Jin Woo's perspective, it made sense that his actions would invite hostility.


Ahn Sangmin began to explain in panic,


"Ah,ah, please don't misunderstand.We accidentally chose you for the investigation.Just


someone had already taken all of the Rank-C Gates in our Guild territory, and when we searched through them, and your name came up. "


" ..."


Jin Woo turned his face into the distance.


"So it is so."


Contrary to what he thought, it seemed that the man sitting in front of him did not start


investigation after realizing the truth about her.


Jin Woo is naturally noticed after finishing his Raid quickly.


"I especially don't feel any ill intent from him."


Jin Woo slightly relaxed his expression.


The nervousness between the two men subsided as well.


"Film ..."


Ahn Sangmin sighed, but all he had accomplished was just returning


their relationship to neutral.


Now will begin a real trial to earn Jin Woo's trust.


‘There is no better way to gain someone's trust than to share information.’


Ahn Sangmin is a recruitment specialist!


He wiped his panicked expression and smiled again.


"This may be confidential information, but we are well aware of Chairman Yoo Myunghan's plans to


create a new Guild."


"..."


Jin Woo neither confirmed nor denied.


Ahn Sangmin continued,


"And when we recorded Yoo Jinho, the son of the man, and Hunter Sung Jin Woo-nim who had been


make contact, we can gather conclusions.If Hunter Sung Jin Woo-nim is


The resurgent Hunter, and Yoojin Construction want you for their Guild”


Double Awakening.


'Well, I'll let him believe that'


Jin Woo has no reason to dispute it.


Ahn Sangmin quickly added,


“We look forward to talking to you before you sign an official contract with


Yoojin.That's why we contacted you suddenly like this.We apologize again for


our roughness”


"It's okay."


It would be different if they approached him with ill intentions, but now they were asking


sorry like this, there's no need for Jin Woo to get angry.


'More important…'


How to handle the current situation.


This is what Jin Woo thought.


Realizing his doubt, Ahn Sangmin spoke again, saying,


"Have you happened to have already signed a contract with Yoojin Construction?"


Maybe the man said that because he saw his hesitation.


Jin Woo shook his head.


Ahn Sangmin, who looked somewhat defeated, immediately became happy.


'Perfect! He is a free agent!'


This was an opportunity to obtain a Hunter who could complete a Rank-C Dungeon


in just 30 minutes.


Although a Rank-D had followed him into the Dungeon, to a man who


being above Rank-B, Rank-D would be nothing more than a baggage boy.


"Imagine if Sung Jin Woo retests as Rank-A under the Baekho Guild!"


Ahn Sangmin continued to suppress his smile and struggled to keep a calm expression.


Meanwhile, Jin Woo was scratching his chin.


‘This guy, he counted chickens before they even hatched ...


Well, Baekho won't be that bad.


It was one of the top 5 Guilds and was even spurring to become number one.


But right now, Jin Woo had no desire to enter a Guild.


'My grade only goes up when I level up'


Besides, although it's difficult ...


"Just like how I single-handedly cleared a Rank-C Dungeon right now, what if


I can finally clear Rank-B, or maybe Rank-A Dungeon alone?"


The income from high ranked Dungeons surpassed imagination.


Conquering those Dungeons was what allowed large Guilds to grow as strong


large company.


When you consider a high-quality magic core, the mosnter, the mineral, the Runestones,


and artifacts, a huge amount of money involved in Hunter-related business.


If he could maintain a monopoly of all the income from the Dungeon, was there a reason


another for him to have to join a Guild?


'As long as I level up, that's not an impossible scenario'


Therefore, it was still too early for him to enter the Guild.


The corner of Jin Woo's mouth rose.


Thinking of her smile as good news, Ahn Sangmin also smiled.


"Have you made a decision?"


"You said it cost twice as much, right?"


"Yes of course.And if we feel that the price is less compared to the ability


Hunter-nim, we might even raise it even higher"


"Then what is the value of the building that Baekho uses as his headquarters?"


Ahn Sangmin froze for a moment.


'Is he questioning the financial strength of our Guild?'


Well, no need to panic.


This was an opportunity to show off the strength of a Guild.


There is no need to hide or hold his tongue.


Ahn Sangmin was rather pleased with this opportunity.


“The estimated value is about fifty billion.We do not use the whole building, but


the deed is in our name"


Ahn Sangmin spoke proudly.


In the past, they had rented their offices in a building, but when the Guild


strengthening its position in the country, they immediately bought it.


It took them a year to achieve this feat.


It was proof of how much large Guilds obtained.


Ahn Sangmin was ready to go into detail about Baekho's finances and income but


it freezes when Jin Woo speaks,


"That building, can you give it to me?"


"What?"


Ahn Sangmin's eyes were wide open.


He doubted his hearing and asked,


"What do you mean by that?"


Jin Woo happily explained,


“Yoojin promised to give me a building worth thirty billion on his contract


not enough to double, I will gladly accept the price of fifty billion from


baekho Guild Building"


"Thirty billion?"


Hunter Sung Jin Woo's career is already 4 years old, but it's as Hunter Rank-E.


He has not done anything prominent to date, meaning his revival


must have happened recently.


So, what kind of strength did this person show up to even Yoo Myunghan, a man


who was known for his business intelligence, would offer him 30 billion won?


And even before he's retested?


'What, is he bluffing because we have no way to confirm?]


Ahn Sangmin looked at Jin Woo with a suspicious look.


As if reading his thoughts, Jin Woo pulled out his phone and called someone.


ring


clique


"Yes, hyungnim."


It was dinner time, and the cafe was almost empty.


Jin Woo deliberately puts volume at its highest level.


"Jinho, let me ask you something."


"Of course, anything, hyungnim."


Jinho's? Yoo Jinho's? Ahn Sangmin swallowed.


'Is he planning to trap me into Yoo Jinho?'


But the guess was wrong.


Instead, Jin Woo brought up a different topic,


"The building you promised me, how much will it cost again?"
