SSS - Class Suicide Hunter
Chapter 19's
Chapter 19 – Luxury Coffee Cup (1)
Mumbled.
So who really conquered the 10th floor?
“I've watched the news but there's nothing. Just gossip.. ”.
“Didn't the Black Dragon deliberately hide it? And they will make a big reveal.. ”.
“Ah. I said it was Sword Saint for sure! ”
In the first-floor city of the tower, people were busy.
People were happy because the difficult 10th floor was finally cleaned. But they all gathered in the cafe to discuss who the secret challenger was.
How did they react?
“Mm.”
If they know the person himself is sitting right next to them.
“It's sweet.”
I took a sip of my caramel macchiato. This cafe across from Sangryun is the only Starbucks in Babylon.
I admire the fact that even though you cannot leave the tower once you enter it, there is still a franchise. And there's even a franchise with a red-nosed fat old man as the mascot.
Uh. Human desire!
“What do you think, Sword Emperor? Isn't victory sweet? Actually, I feel like even an espresso is going to taste sweet right now. Hm? ”
-… ..
“Hm. Are the earphones damaged? Thats odd. There's no answer. ”
I tapped the earphones in my ear. Of course, no sound came out of it.
It was a simple trick of the eye.
I would look like a crazy person if I talked to myself, so I pretended like I was calling someone. It actually works pretty well. No one in the cafe saw me like I was weird.
“Sword Emperor-nim? Sword Emperor? Excuse me, Mr. Psychopath. Excuse me, Mr Madman? ”
-.what.
“Ah. Now I can hear you. I think you're deaf now. Ck ck, you're making Gong-ja-nim's boss worried. Humans shouldn't do that. ”
-…
“Ah, correct. You are a ghost, not a human. I was stupid, so I forgot. Oh yea! Sword Emperor. Can I talk informally to you now? It's strange if I speak formally to you when you call me Gong-ja-nim. Okay?”
-. fuck…
Floating before me, Bae Hu-ryeong's shoulder trembled.
- I have never experienced this humiliation in my entire life .. Emperor .. how could someone referred to as Emperor be like this …
“Well. It was just a joke. Even if I am called Gong-ja-nim, I cannot speak informally to such a senior. Although I can. I can. I will call you Emperor Sword-nim from now on. How about that? Satisfied?”
just kill me instead!
Bae Hu-ryeong shouted.
- Get a new skill and replace the Sword Constellation slot! You can do that, motherfucker! Just kill me!
“Oh no. This guy said things he shouldn't have said. Aren't we partners, partners? Friends forever. Companions! Who in the world would kill their best friend? From now on, we'll be together forever. ”
- Hold sobbing. Whatever. I won't say anything. Grandpa Marcus. I want to go back to Grandpa…
Ah, that's sweet.
I looked up at the sky while sipping my coffee.
[ 22:32:50 ]
The clock in the sky indicates that an hour has passed.
Just when I thought it was time to show up.
meow.
“Mm?”
A brown cat crawled towards me. It was too clean to be lost. If there was anything special about him, it was that there were two gold pieces around his neck, not a bell.
“· …………….”
Gulp down.
I wonder how I should deal with this situation.
‘Cat a Piece of Gold.’
-hm?
‘Cat a Gold Piece. It's really famous. People won't know about it now. ‘
This cat is no ordinary pet.
It would become the Tower's famous mascot about 5 years later.
‘... I didn't know such an important person would come to me.’
I guess I have to pretend I don't know anything.
I calmly looked at the cat. Control my face.
“Are you lost?’
meow.
The brown cat rubbed his head at my feet. I'm a little dumbfounded. If I didn't know his true identity, I would just think it was a friendly cat.
“Do you want to stay with me until your owner comes?”
meooooow.
I lifted the cat into my lap. The cat calmly licked his paws on my lap like that was what he wanted all the time. He even yawns with meow.
‘I can't believe people are crazy about cats. Her acting is amazing. ‘
I rubbed the cat's head.
-meooow.
As I listened to the snoring of the cat, a group of hunters came towards me. One of them spoke to me.
“Excuse me. Is your name Kim Gong-ja? ”
“Mm.”
At first glance I know their equipment is expensive. They're not just a bunch of patchwork. If not the guild master, at least the executive. A group of such people gathered around the cafe.
I showed them my ID.
“I wonder how long it will take. I see, it takes exactly 1 hour and 30 minutes. ”
“…!”
The eyes of the hunters vibrated when they saw my ID. They frantically pulled out their phones and started contacting other people.
“Iya. I found it!”
“In the cafe right across the bank.”.
“No. Other Guilds were here as well. Yes sir! Understood, boss. ”
“Do not worry. I won't let him be taken by another guild! ”
It was storm night.
I was happy to see what was happening in front of me.
‘I feel like I'm a VIP.’
-good. Most guilds will try to stalk you. You cleaned the 10th floor yourself. It was really VIP.
‘Mm. I guess. Even someone cleaning the 99th floor called me Gong-ja-nim, so it would be strange if I wasn't a VIP. ‘
-****! Goddamn bum! Fuucko!
The hunters ended their calls one by one.
And they all looked at me with nervous faces.
As I waited for the first guild to speak, a big blonde hunter took a step forward.
“I am the HR team leader of the Civil Militia Guild. Kim Gong - ja hunter - nim. As you probably already know, Civil Militia is the most honorable guild in Babylon. If you enter our guild…! ”
“Sebentar.”
I raised my hand. HR team leader Civil Militia quit.
“…”
“First. Do not leak anything to the media. ”
I slowly looked at the hunters. I can guarantee that none of these hunters are ranked lower than me. Before I retreated, I did not even dare to look at them. But now, I did not fail for any of them.
My appearance.
I have the achievement of being the first person to conquer the 10th floor.
This was like a landmark that no hunter could destroy regardless of their level.
Competent hunters consider performance important. If they are competent, they will not be able to treat me like I am nothing.
“I will not sign a contract with any guild leaking my name to the public. I won't even hang out with them. Please be careful.”
“Uh... u, until when?”
The other hunts raised their hands to ask.
“Golden Newspaper Reporter is interfering with all guilds. I don't know how long we can hide this. ”
“Yeah, I didn't say to hide this forever.”
I pointed to the sky.
All the hunters were also staring at the sky.
[ 22:25:31 ]
“Only to this day. Until the clock reaches 00:00:00, please maintain the ban. ”
“Ah! Good. Somehow until then. ”
All the hunters breathed a sigh of relief.
I smile.
‘I cannot be detained by journalists. Not when I have to run as fast as I can to the 11th floor when it's open. ‘
I opened my mouth again.
“That's the first condition. And for the second- ”
“…”
All the hunters looked at me with stiff expressions. They may be nervous about what difficult conditions I would ask for.
I grinned and looked around.
“-This is a public area so let's respect other customers.”
“Sorry?”
“Can't you see customers looking in this direction? They were shocked because you all suddenly gathered here. ”
I'm correct.
All the other customers are looking this way. Most of the customers whispered to each other with suspicious looks. There was even a customer who looked like he was recording this.
“This interruption.”
“I know you're all in a hurry looking for me, but let's slow down. Not that I'm gonna run. ”
“S, sorry.”
The hunters realized the environment and dispersed.
“I'm sorry. I can't tell you the reason but if you can move .. ”
“Pak. How much does it cost to rent this cafe for 1 hour? ”
“Everything, thank you for your understanding! If you ever come to Chen Mu-mun, we will. ”.
The scale of the great clan executives was definitely different.
It took them 5 minutes to get everyone to go and rent to the cafe from the owner. The cafe was empty after only 5 minutes.
“Good.”
We entered the corner of the cafe and started talking.
“Kalau begitu mari kita mulai negosiasi. Nyatakan kondisi Anda. ”
Funny thing is, they all hold a cup of coffee in their hands. That's because I said they were annoying. Funny thing.
“... Our Civil Militia offer 10,000 Gold for contract fee.”
That was the starting point.
“10.000 Gold? Dang. You show that you are poor in a place like this. Kim Gong-ja hunter-nim! Please sign up for Adventure League. We promise 20,000 Gold, and executive positions. ”
“Come to Chen Mu-mun, hunter-nim. Our guild develops combat-specific hunters and we will accept you as a trainer with 25,000 Gold. ”
“The position of the coach is indeed disturbing. Please think carefully. Kim Gong-ja hunternim! If you come to our Ten Thousand Shrine, we guarantee a position of honor. To be honest, we hope that you promote our clan. With 30,000 Gold and a separate salary for another job.
“Association! Please work as an ambassador for the Association! ”
That's messy.
All the HR team leaders pleaded with me. I understand how they feel. All the high guilds might feel pressured by the Sword Saint.
A single hunter who did not register in any of the guilds that were at Rank 1!
Therefore, people may wonder. If there really was a need to register in a guild. If solo play is the best option…
‘Although it is because Sword Saint is special.’
It still ruined the guild's reputation.
‘And if a new hero as famous as the Holy Sword has been born?’
I smile.
“They will do anything to keep an eye on him.”
At least, block the other guilds from taking them!
Maybe the orders that these team leaders got. That's obvious.
“C, Civil Militia can provide 36,000 Gold as contract fee ..”
“Sheesh. Poor Guilds had to retreat. Hm? ”
“Are you trying to fight us with thousands? Do you not understand the situation? ”
“We Alchemy Castle can..!”
That was.
“Sangryun.”
A heavy voice came from somewhere.
“50.000 Gold.”
“…”
All the hunters looked. Their gazes landed on my lap. To be exact, it was a cat on my lap.
The cat meowed and jumped. Her feet were soft claws when jumping from my lap, but when landing, that was not the case. They landed lightly with shoes.
“50.000 Gold. I can give it to you here if you want. ”
The man looked back. The 2 gold pieces on their necklaces made a clear sound as they trembled.
And the position of vice-leader Sangryun.
Hunter Rank 3.
The union chairman of the Traders Association. Compute.
“50,000 Gold and vice-chairman of the union. How about that.”
A woman with the skill of [Metamorphosis] smiled brightly and spoke. Although she may be over 40 years old, she appears to be in her 20s. He probably drinks potions every day.
He was the richest man in the tower.
“Mm.”
An important person I would not have met in the past.
I forced myself to calm down and smile.
Now we're talking.
The first step of negotiating for my body
it ends.
