SSS-Class Suicide Hunter

20 Coins. Coffee break. (2)

“Hmm. You've got some nerve. ”

The Earl gently raises his mouth.

“The cat turns into a person and doesn't seem surprised · · ·. You're not so young these days. Oh, this is a compliment. ”

“Thank you. I've always been bold. They just see ghosts. ”

“Hahaha. You've got time for jokes. Amazing.”

The Earl pulls out his debt and smiles.

I wasn't joking. I was joking.

“Huh · · ·. ”

“Hmm · · · ·. ”

Hunters notice each other. Only the Earl bursts into laughter. As soon as the Earl appeared, the HR chiefs who had just called for a loud deposit were silent as if dead rats.

“I, Ryuzhou. Excuse me · · ·. ”

The big blonde hunter was cautious.

“Excuse me.”

“Isn't the deputy guild leader insured for 500,000 gold contracts? No, of course, a 10-story attack is amazing. But still, how powerful is Kim Gong-ja Hunter? ”

The hunter stammers more and more backwards. It wasn't sudden aphasia. The Earl gazes at him, covering his mouth with debt. by making a smile beyond debt.

“ · · · · · ·. ”

Eventually, Hunter shut up. He realized later that nothing he said would work. The opponent is ranked third in rank. In my own words, ‘class’ was different.

“Will you excuse me? ”

“· · · Yes. ”

“Then call your superiors before you have any more excuses. I'm sorry, I can't talk to you. Ah. I don't care if anyone here can beat up more than 500,000 gold. Sit tight. ”

It meant, "Get lost."

The karma of a mid-management job is to get the hell out of here. The HR leaders stood up one by one.

And 10 minutes later, new hunters walked into the cafe, as if they were touching HR leaders and Barton.

“Fuckin 'pair! Damn it!”

Rank 5th. Leader of the Celestial Moon Guild, Serpent.

“Well. Hansoo's been taken away. I have to admit, it was our mistake. ”

Ranked 4th. Grand Shrine Guild Leader, Inquisitor.

“It's strange to say it was an accident. Our mission today is not to welcome new heroes, but to prevent existing Hunters from getting confused. Too much juice.”

Ranked 8th. Deputy Chief of the Vigilantes, Paladins.

“ · · · · · ·. ”

Rank 2nd. Head of the Black Dragon Guild, even the Black Witch.

‘Wow.'

I stick my tongue out in my heart.

‘That's a hell of a shot. Gunfire.’

The face was shy.

Top rankers who have only been interviewed videos or articles in the past. They lived and moved in front of my eyes and sat down across from the table. I realized how much my price had gone up.

“Welcome aboard. ”

The Earl crouches and smiles.

“I don't know how long it's been since I've been in one place. It's the same as yesterday when we were raiding the second floor together. Time is of the essence, isn't it? We're getting old. ”

“Douchebag. Shut up before it boils in butterfly tub. ”

The serpent growls.

Guild Master of the Celestial Moon. One-Eyed Hunter. A middle-aged man, known as the first man to attack the second floor, had his eye patch wrapped around his face.

The wound you inflicted on the sword.

“I was on my way. What, 500,000 gold? Vice guild leader? You met a beast and fell to the level of a headache? You're a pro, so you're a pro, but the vice guild leader isn't chewing. ”

“Here! Let's order some coffee first! ”

Inquisitor said clearly.

“Excuse me if you don't trade even though you're in the store. That's why the heads of the giant guild responsible for the tower have to use it! I order a cafe mocha. What about you?”

“Oh, I'd like a warm Americano, please. ”

“I like the cool cafeteria. ”

“· · · Hazelnut latte. Hot. More shots. Grandero.”

It seemed like the guild leaders were waiting for you.

There was only one serpent who was embarrassed.

“Coffee? No, hey. Now that the 10th floor is clear, the world is in chaos, and you can't afford coffee in your stomachs? What kind of caffeinated brains are these bastards? ”

“The astronomer is a steamed espresso. I understand.”

“This fucking religious man · · · ·? ”

“Ms. Grant! Here's your order! ”

The Inquisitor ignores the Serpent and shouts. Twitch. The barista on the counter shivers. The star-studded barista, who appears to be making coffee from the top rankers in his slumber, has a blurry complexion.

“Would you like to order · · · state · · · ·? ”

“Yes!”

The Inquisitor smiles brightly.

The guild leader of the Manchurian Temple. A blonde hunter. A young man who played a role in preventing religious conflicts from spreading across the globe was famous for being respectful to everyone.

Even when torturing terrorists.

“Iced cafe mocha tall. A warm Americano tall drink. A tall glass of ice cafeteria. Warm hazelnut latte, extra shots, glass of Grande size. Espresso dopio! Here's what I'm ordering!”

“Yes! Yes, yes! ”

“Oh, my God. ”

The Inquisitor slowly turns his head.

“What's Kim Gong-ja Hunter going to order? ”

The gaze of the left was drawn to me. The table was silent in an instant. Funny eyes. Nasty eyes. Clear eyes. Cold eyes. The expressionless look of five faces and ten eyes stared at me quietly.

Like trying to test my reaction.

- Don't be afraid.

Until then, the messenger who was silent said.

- They're no big deal. Think of it as nothing! You've been killed by Grandpa Marcus. None of them are smarter than Grandpa.

‘I know.'

I knew it.

It's just neurological warfare. ’

And it was a go-to place to squeeze and play.

I shrug.

“Chairman, do you have a menu here? ”

“Yes?”

“I don't want coffee because I drank a macchiato earlier. I'd like to take a look at the menu. Um, no. If you have hot chocolate, just give it to me. ”

“Oh, I see. ”

Relaxation.

What I need to show you now was a relaxed attitude.

‘These people didn't just come by accident. ’

Even when the HR chiefs had just arrived, and even now, different guild hunters had arrived at the same time.

Is this a coincidence timing?

Absolutely not! ’

A ploy to disguise coincidence.

It was nothing but smoke.

‘It's a plan to get my mind off things all at once. ’

It was a very classic technique. It's like blackmailing a bunch of gangsters.

‘Well, a lot of scary hunters for a gangster. ’

The air is as tense as ice.

‘Nothing compared to burning to death alive. ’

In other words, it was nothing more than frozen flesh.

Before they died, they would have trembled with fear, but · · not now. I wasn't scared at all.

The reason was ignorantly simple.

‘Cause if you do, kill him. ’

If they killed him, I'd be fine!

The messenger nods.

- Yeah, I told you. That's your gift, that's your advantage! If you're going to kill me, try to kill me. Keep your eyes peeled! You're the top ranker and you don't even want to kill me!

‘Well, thanks for cheering me on. But it doesn't get you off the hook. ’

- Oh, shit!

The messenger is frustrated with his head.

“Hmm."

Meanwhile, the Inquisitor changed his face.

“That's curious. They were spotted as hunters with no leverage until they hit the 10th floor. Suddenly people change · · ·. I really don't know anything about the world! ”

“It's not like there's no action figure at all. ”

The Earl blindfolds the lower tube with a debt and smiles.

“That young man just won the Von Guild lottery. You're lucky. You have guts. I don't know how they got there, but they must be pretty good at taking the 10th floor. Luck. Courage. Skills. If a young man has three things, he can succeed at anything. ”

“Ha · · · That's what I said. ”

The serpent sighs across the table.

“Don't be so skillful with this! The guy who broke the 10th floor doesn't know anything. Tsk. Because of the smoke that won't work for nothing · ·. ”

“It doesn't matter what you say. ”

Suddenly.

The guild leader of the quiet Black Dragon. A witch opened her mouth.

“Just because the face of the Buddha is broken doesn't mean the Buddha's face is broken. We're busy with each other. Let's postpone the blame a little later. ”

“Hmmm · · ·. ”

“Hunter Kim. ”

The witch saw me.

“I'll be honest with you. Which guild are you going to join? ”

Silenced eyes.

“Tell me beforehand if you intend not to join any guild like the sword. That's why we need to discuss how to respond to the press. ”

“What if I want to join a specific guild? ”

“There's going to be an intense bidding competition. ”

The witch said without hesitation.

“We've stayed too long on the ninth floor. I'm ashamed of the word" underdog. "It was just awkward. But now that you've broken through the 10th floor, we have a chance to advertise the value of the tower back to the outside world. ”

“Opportunity.”

“Yes. Opportunity. Opportunity to attract not only war refugees, but many humans from the outside world. ”

Barista brought a tray and served coffee. The guild leaders received coffee cups one by one quietly. No one said anything. Witches also drank a bunch of hazelnut lattes without saying a word.

“First and foremost, when the 10th floor opens, the hunters who have only lived in the first floor city will feel a bit at ease. What mysterious world awaits them from the 11th floor? Even the realists who forget their adventures will look down on them. ”

Indeed.

“Food difficulties should be resolved. ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

She looked at me with a surprised look on her face.

“· · You're quick to understand a word. That's right. It's hard to handle the demand for food just by selling items excavated below the ninth floor. ”

“I've kept the trade corridor open to the outside world for 24 hours. ”

The Earl smiles.

“It's not as energetic as it used to be. I'm getting a little old. ”

“It's time for a new product. ”

The witch was a horse.

“We need to draw adventurers into the world after the 10th floor. We need to find items that are only excavated beyond the 10th floor. ”

“Then you'll need a way to actively appeal to the outside world and towers. [A new era has begun!] and make a great advertisement. You mean that's who I am? ”

“· · Yes. Exactly.”

It was all going to happen in the future.

This is why the Giant Guilds did not treat humans who lived alone like salt. Heroes, for better or worse, have become icons of a new era.

You definitely need a hero like that to keep growing your tower!

‘And yet, in the Black Dragon, I heard they tried to assassinate the salt. ’

I recalled a conversation I overheard in the alleyway of Slum.

- Who ordered you to kill me? Just answer it.

- Did the Black Dragon witch put you up to this?

At that time, the girl slowly nodded.

If the saint did not lie, the witch in front of her eyes actually tried to poison the salt. I don't know why I did it now, but · · ·

‘I think you and I will get along. ’

Why?

"No one hates a son of a bitch! ’

Enemies are allies.

I felt like I was going to have some kind of friendship.

“I understand what you're saying. The guild that captured me can be a symbol of a new era. The rest of the guilds won't be able to escape as best men. ”

“Yes.”

“I'm a little sorry about that · · · Here's the deal. ”

Hunters focused on what I said.

I took the trump card out of my arms.

· · · Trump card? ”

The witch tilts her head.

“Do you really want to make it a game? Your guild?"

“Yes.”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

“I'm going to play poker and join the guild of the first person. No contracts, no status. Dan!”

I smiled.

“If I win, I will [simultaneously] join the guild of everyone here. ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

“Oh, I'm going to be a guild member on the outside. In fact, they treat it like a match for you. You're happy to be able to sell my image. It's nice to be treated alongside the top guild leaders. What do you think?”

At that moment, the eyes of the guild masters changed.

“Ah-ha-ha.”

The Earl bursts into laughter.

“Are you suggesting that the young man who has raided one floor will be treated the same as us? ”

“Yes, if I were to play cards with you and eat first place. ”

“Funny. I like you. ”

The Earl lowers his cup of coffee and looks around.

“How are you? ”

“As long as you don't cheat, I'm fine with it! ”

The Inquisitor responded first.

“· · We don't even use skills. Otherwise, you're too good for me. If he gets caught using a skill, he's automatically disqualified. ”

And then the viper.

“Our guild is poor anyway, so we won't win if we enter the tender. You lose, and you win. Well done.”

And the paladin agreed.

“ · · · · · ·. ”

Finally, the witch nods.

“Fine. I'll take your offer. ”

Gambling has been established.

We set detailed rules for poker. The rules themselves were ordinary. The top rankers carefully examined the cards for quality mischief, no doubts about deception, and themselves.

‘Sword man. ’

When the card is dealt.

- Huh?

Honestly, you don't want to call him that, do you? ’

I summoned the frustrating messenger.

‘Let's do this. ’

- What should I do?

‘Call me Confucius only until the end of this game. ’

The beholder's eyes widen.

Can I really do that?

‘Yes, of course. ’

I laughed.

‘Instead, let me know what the hunters here are holding. ’

- Yay! Azzanou!

The messenger jumps up and down.

- It's fucking easy! I don't know who the Confucius is. Look at his personality. My Prince, you are so generous! You want me to tell you what these bastards are holding? Oh, don't worry. We'll let you know whether or not you want to remove the bottom at all! Confucius!

There you go.

Let the games begin.
