Chapter 49 South Korea's Most Powerful Guild (3)

The Road Guild became the 30th place in the Republic of Korea after Zero and Choi, the top S rankings, registered as Class A Hunters, officially joined the rankings.

It was the first time an elite guild of fewer than 10 members was entered at the top.

Hanseok joined the Road Guild and stayed in Dong B with the train. Han Seok was living in a quite luxurious mansion, not as much as Seong-jun.

That's why there were complaints, but Loyal Runes solved even such trivial problems.

“I can't believe I'm seeing this again. I didn't have enough top ranking in the guild...... This much... ”

Seolja, who came to Seongjun's house for guild matters, said, looking like a loyal deputy assistant, she set up a floating position behind Seongjun.

She had never seen Han Seok in person, but now I think the two of them are joking because she had heard so much about his personality.

“Rumors are often exaggerated. ”

“That's right. ”

I nodded and agreed to what Seong-jun said.

“It's not the Middle Ages, though, and it's awkward to leave people behind like that. ”

Actually, it was an excuse because I wanted to be with Seong-jun in the reception room.

“It could be. ”

Seong-jun didn't notice. He thought it might be uncomfortable because it was the first time he and Hanseok met.

He answered happily and sent a signal to Hansuk to stay out for a while. As Hansuk left the reception room, Seohya took out the document house from her bag and opened her mouth.

“It's a stallion sale report. Take a look. ”

Seong-jun was going to rest until the settlement of Raid, but Shin-cheol and Jang-hoon went to the dungeon attack because the break was over.

The stone they routed was to be sold to them under contract with the Blue Dragon Group. He was asking for confirmation of relevant documents.

“I heard you have a lot of troubles as guild leader. ”

While checking the documents, Seong-jun said. Seola drew a vague smile on her mouth.

“Everywhere I go, he's busy. ”

“There's no problem with the paperwork. I think we can proceed. ”

Seong-jun returned the house of documents to Seolma.

“Yes, and my grandfather asked me to thank you. ”

Her grandfather was the chairman of the Blue Dragon Group. The Road Guild has benefited a lot from the Blue Dragon Group because the amount of the stone tablets that are routed as elite minority is small, but all of them are of high quality.

“You asked me to give you this, too. ”

Seola takes out a thick envelope and puts it on the table. Seong-jun picked it up with curious eyes.

“Can I open it? ”

“Yes, check it out. ”

What was in the envelope was first 10 tickets of ownership. It was one of the most important things a hunter with a guild needs.

“We didn't have enough ownership... Can you tell her thank you?" ”

“Yes, I will. ”

Seong-jun smiled and replied. She unpacks the briefcase. And before saying good-bye to Seong-jun, I opened my mouth with a nervous expression.

“It's Christmas soon... Do you have plans? ”

I said it out of courage. Did he really want to be with you? Seolja watched Seoljun while swallowing dry saliva.

“I'm thinking of renting a party room and having a little party with the guild members. ”

Seong-jun's answer was different from Seohya's expectations. But she was also able to hide her disappointment because her social experience was rich.

“Why don't you use our hotel banquet hall instead of your room? ”

“There are too few people to use the ballroom. ”

“Invite others, too. It's a great opportunity to make connections. ”

South Korea has changed a lot since the arrival of Dungeon Raid, but relationships have still been important.

Since Seong-jun is an SS class hunter, many high-ranking people wanted to make kites. I already knew that Seong-jun was related to the Blue Dragon Group and was trying to contact through Seohya.

If they had the chance, they would have come for it with a sweet price.

“Creating a network will also help Kang Sung-jun a lot. ”

Seong-jun also agreed with what Snow said.

“Then can I leave the preparations to you? ”

“Yes, I'll do it. ”

He replied with joy. I was glad that it could help Seong-jun.

The only thing she can do to help, not Hunter, is deal with this kind of office work.

“I'll just ask for a final confirmation later. ”

The final verification of the number of people to attend the banquet was the most important issue. So Seolja thought that Seong-jun should do it. Seong-jun nodded at her words and opened his mouth.

“Of course I will. Please try again.”

“I'll take care of it perfectly as always. ”

“Take good care of her. ”

He smiled. Seong-jun hurriedly got up from the chair because the work talk was over.

Then she followed him with a sad expression and walked to the parking lot.

I had to go through the garden to get to the parking lot. Zhang Hun was walking around the garden with Soohyuk in a wheelchair. Armed guards guard the perimeter thoroughly.

‘Father……. ’

Seong-jun bit his lip slightly looking at Su-hyuk. He was receiving high quality treatment from the best medical staff involved, but his health has been rapidly deteriorating in recent months.

So it was hard to walk through the courtyard of the house without a wheelchair.

“Sir!"

Jang-hoon, who found Seong-jun, called to him with a resounding voice. Soohyuk's gaze, which was looking at the tree shaken by the cold wind, was also towards Seongjun.

He waves his hands with a happy look. I thought it was a sign to come this way. Suhyuk didn't see much of Seong-jun with a woman.

That's why I became curious. Seong-jun realized that Su-hyuk, the father, was singing together as well as himself, and let out a short sigh.

“Would you like to see your father for a moment? ”

“Can I really do that? ”

Seong-jun asked, thinking Seolma might be annoyed. However, unlike his expectations, she replied with a bright voice.

In her answer, Seong-jun smiled. Then I took my first step. The face of Suhyuk, who came closer and saw it, was even more awkward. Seong-jun was hurt.

“Girlfriend?”

It was the first sentence Suhyuk uttered while looking at Seohyuk. Seolja was so happy that she was mistaken as Seong-jun's girlfriend. So I smiled brightly, but Seong-jun smiled awkwardly.

“This is our guild secretary. Father.”

“I see.... ”

Suhyuk looked down at the grass, answering resolutely. It was to hide the unfortunate face, but Seong-jun could notice it easily. He opened his mouth to Suhyuk.

“I'll have some good news for you soon. ”

“Really...? ”

“Of course.”

Seong-jun nodded and replied. Even Suhyuk's mouth smiled.

“I'm sorry to keep you so busy. Go away.”

Soohyuk said. Although I felt a little empowered by his voice, Seong-jun was relieved.

He drove snowflakes to the parking lot. Choi Young's assistant, who had usually assisted him, was waiting next to the parked car.

“Well…… I'll get back to you soon. ”

Even though it was because of work, Seong-jun was happy to be able to continue to communicate with him.

I thought that this relationship was getting a little better, too. After she got in the car first, Ara got in the driver's seat. When Seong-jun waved his hand, the car left.

“Choi Han Seok.”

Seong-jun called Han-suk after the car in Seola left the gate. A stone appeared somewhere. He opens his mouth with a calm expression.

“You wanted to see me?”

It was a distinctly different polite tone from the first time I met him. It was because the ‘Rune of Allegiance’ unconsciously continued to interfere.

“Loyalty runes work better than I thought. ”

Seeing the change in Han Seok, Seong-jun said to herself. It was a small voice, but I could hear Lischewald right next to him.

- I think it's a good thing. It is better to have this full dominant relationship than to have any rebellion left.

Lischevald said.

Even though there was still a shred of rebellion, there was no reason to actually disobey orders due to the interference of the 'Loyal Rune’, but it was convenient to change into a submissive attitude in many ways.

“I'm going to the West." ”

‘Seoguk' was the name of the New Drug Development Institute that Seongjun acquired.

“Bring the car. ”

“I understand.”

Han-Seok took a step with the answer. Seong-jun's Hunter Sedan was parked in the garage.

About five minutes later, his Hunter Sedan arrives in the parking lot. There was a seat on the driver's seat. When Seong-jun boarded the back seat, the Hunter Sedan left.

The destination was the Western New Drug Development Institute. It was to encourage the development of new drugs. While Han Seok was driving, Seong-jun called me, the principal of the research facility.

- Yes, sir. I'm the principal of the lab.

“That's what I know, because I'm on my way. ”

Seong-jun hung up before he even heard a single answer. I arrived at the lab shortly after. Han Seok skillfully parked his car.

“Stay here and wait. ”

“I understand.”

Han Seok nods. Jooseong had a lead researcher waiting for him at the entrance on the first floor.

Soon after finding Seong-jun, she greeted him and led him to the warden's office. When I opened the door, I could see how hard I was trying to hide my nervous expression.

Seong-jun naturally walked in and sat on the couch. Hansoo sat in front of him.

Seong-jun didn't even open his mouth yet, but Hansoo was nervous because the unknown weight seemed to depress his body.

“How long has the development been going on? ”

“It's going well. ”

“Don't just say what you always say in your periodic reports, be honest. ”

Seong-jun urged Hansoo to open his mouth while swallowing dry saliva.

“Before February next year, I think the development of a new drug that will stop the progression of rare blood cancers that Kang Sung-hyuk suffers from... ”

“Animal testing? ”

Seong-jun asked. Hansoo nodded.

“Yes, this is an experiment to make sure the drugs are safe. Human experimentation is the best, but it's hard to find a similar case and I don't think the Institutional Review Board will approve it easily. ”

Seong-jun did not know much about the process associated with the development of new drugs, but he could estimate that it was quite complicated by looking at one number of serious expressions.

“Does animal testing also require a permit? ”

“Of course, if you just do it, it won't sit idly by the Animal Ethics Committee or the Animal Protection Organization. ”

Hansoo was frightened, but Seong-jun calmly cleared his mind.

‘Christmas party...... maybe there's a way here. ’

Seong-jun's eyes sparkled.
