[ Expiration date ]
“Never, never, ever commit violent acts. “You can’t do that!”
Baek Young-hee had already repeated the sa thing several tis.
I nodded with an expression of disgust.
“I understand. “Do you really think I’m going to get into trouble there?”
Baek Young-hee nodded with a distrustful expression.
“yes. If you’re the team leader, that’s enough…”
“Really.”
What on earth is this woman looking at for?
Even though I wasn’t full of common sense and culture, I was a person who knew how to choose the right ti and place.
How dare you go and recruit a team mber and start punching them?
“I’ll just go there and quietly watch. “He’s good at recruiting.”
“Really? “You promise to stay calm no matter what?”
“Oh, that’s right.”
We were now on our way to the Black Hound Guild headquarters in my private vehicle.
Preparations for conquering the ‘Labyrinth of Corrupted Souls’.
The first was a sturdy tank.
There would be a lot of dangerous situations, so I needed soone who would stand strong in front of .
Coincidentally, there was a tank that I had already added to my list.
King Guho of the Blackhound Guild.
Three days ago, I asked Baek Young-hee to recruit him, and when I asked him, he said that negotiations were being prolonged due to the penalty issue with the guild over there.
I asked Baek Young-hee to finalize Wang Gu-ho’s recruitnt within today.
Five days is a pretty tight amount of ti to even make that guy usable.
“yes? Today? Anyway, today…”
Baek Young-hee shook her head, saying it was impossible.
“It’s not like you don’t have that level of ability, right?”
“…I beg your pardon?”
When her pride was slightly touched, Baek Young-hee got angry and called sowhere.
And not long after,
“First of all, I scheduled a eting with the Blackhound manager this evening. But…”
Baek Young-hee continued with a slightly uneasy expression.
“I put a condition on the team leader over there that he also attend the eting. I feel bad for so reason…”
“Really? “You can just go sowhere.”
So, we were now on our way to Blackhound headquarters in my private vehicle.
Baek Young-hee’s expression was not good the entire ti she was in the car.
“Originally, we were going to lower the penalty by continuing negotiations for about two more weeks… but to recruit soone in such a hurry, you have to pay a much higher amount than expected.”
It’s not my money anyway.
I leisurely leaned back on the cushion.
The team leader’s exclusive vehicle provided by the guild was extrely comfortable to ride.
“Don’t waste your money. “No matter how much you pay, he will give you several tis that amount.”
“Really? In fact, our guild’s self-evaluation is the opposite.”
“It’s because I don’t know what. “You’ll bow down to thank later… Hey little guy!”
Instead of speaking, I scread in surprise.
While I was chatting with Younghee Baek, Lily seed to have found a box of snacks in the car like a ghost.
Only then did the little boy with chocolate on his mouth look back at .
“why?”
“Ugh. “Co here.”
I took out a wet tissue from the cabinet and wiped everything off the little boy’s mouth and hands.
“don’t do it!”
My hands beca busier as I pulled the little boy who was struggling to escape.
“Can’t you stay still? “It gets all over the car seats!”
Such a damn little boy. I marked the area with snack crumbs on the new car I picked up today.
I said, closing the snack box and putting it next to .
“No snacks allowed in the car.”
“no! “It’s sothing to eat!”
I punished the kid who was running towards the snack box by grabbing him and putting him in a headlock.
“It’s okay to fuss over a child’s subject.”
“Ugh! “Let go of this!”
At that ti, a laughing sound was heard from the front.
The main character of the voice was my private driver, Park Young-bae.
“I heard you two are brother and sister. “You guys get along really well.”
“…Does it look like that?”
Youngbae Park was a veteran driver over 50 with a good-natured appearance.
“yes. And don’t worry about the sheets. “I will clean it up.”
“…I’m sorry for giving you more work because of this little guy. hey. “I apologize to you too.”
As I translated into Gaia, Lily spoke in the short Korean she was just learning.
“…Harabuji. Jaeseonghae.”
At that mont, a big smile appeared on Park Young-bae’s lips.
“Oh my, you’re pretty. it’s okay. It’s my job. By the way, are you three experiencing any inconvenience? “I’m not good at driving at this age…”
I shook my head at his excessive humility.
“It’s very comfortable. “Your driving is very smooth.”
“haha. Thank you. If you have any inconvenience, please let know right away.”
“…….”
Actually, I feel a bit awkward and uncomfortable when I et soone who seems so nice.
It’s easier to deal with people who are rude and speak informally.
Is it because I’ve seen so many people like that in my life?
I spoke softly so that only Baek Young-hee could hear.
“The driver will be soone younger who will be easier to handle.”
Then Baek Young-hee also spoke quietly.
“oh. “At so point, you told to pick everything on my own?”
“I didn’t know a secretary could be so senseless.”
Baek Young-hee glared at at those words.
“…Then will you replace with soone else?”
I shook my head as if I was annoyed.
“That’s Okay. “We’ve already exchanged greetings.”
Moreover, this older driver was already becoming close to the little boy.
“Little girl. “Do you want grandpa to give you a snack?”
Lily couldn’t understand what he said, but she nodded as best as she could when she saw the jelly he was taking out of his pocket.
“…Yes!”
“Oh my, you’re so pretty.”
The driver who handed the jelly to the little boy stroked his head a few tis with one hand.
The little boy was busy eating the jelly without paying any attention to the touch.
I clicked my tongue at that sight.
“Tsk tsk.”
What are you going to do if you get in trouble after taking everything like that?
After a while, we arrived at our destination, the Black Hound Guild headquarters.
I opened the car door and was about to get out, but the driver quickly got out and opened the door.
“…….”
I got out of the car without saying a word. The driver took a step back and bent his back to close to 90 degrees.
“Then have a nice trip. “I will wait here.”
I said, frowning.
“Hey, knight.”
“yes!”
“Don’t do this again.”
“yes? “What if I made a mistake…”
I sighed softly as I looked at the driver who raised his head in surprise.
“Please don’t bow down in front of . Don’t open the car door for them either. “I feel uncomfortable.”
Baek Young-hee got out of the car after and was looking at with a slightly surprised expression.
Lily glared at , asking why I was frowning at a good old man.
Of course, the driver was the one who was most embarrassed.
“Because this is my job…”
“I don’t like it. Just drive properly from now on.”
“…yes. All right.”
Driver Park Young-bae smiled awkwardly and nodded.
I passed him and headed to the elevator.
Baek Young-hee followed behind and said.
“I’m a little surprised, isn’t it?”
“What?”
“I thought the team leader would like it when soone supports him…”
“Are there people who don’t like that?”
Unless the other person is soone who reminds of my father who passed away during the First Gate.
“Shall I change the driver?”
“Oh, I heard it’s done. “Why are you trying to make a good driver unemployed?”
At that mont, Baek Young-hee made a sinister expression.
“Honestly, the team leader doesn’t have a handso face. “Do you know that you’re looking more and more cool?”
“Oh my. That’s it. “Let’s get to work.”
We took the elevator and went upstairs.
The Black Hound headquarters was larger than the White House because this was a guild that competed on quantity rather than quality.
This was the guild I first signed with when I was 20 years old before I returned.
For the first three years after awakening as a superhuman, I literally suffered to death here.
A place with far more nightmares than mories.
Coming back there again….
All the mories from that ti were condensed into one word and flowed out of my mouth without my knowledge.
“Fuck…”
At that mont, Lily looked up at with a very expectant look on her face.
“Is there anything delicious here?!”

When I went to the appointed place, three people from Black Hound were at the eting.
Wang Gu-ho, the party involved.
Jang Seok-hyeon, the team leader of the team he belongs to.
And Kim Hyeon-tae, Blackhound recruitnt general manager.
Smirk.
Kim Hyun-tae, a man with the pale appearance of a vampire, smiled heartily and offered to shake my hand.
“nice to see you. “My na is Hyuntae Kim, and I am in charge of recruiting for Blackhound.”
The mont I saw Kim Hyun-tae, I had a strange thought.
Why did this idiot co out?
Kim Hyun-tae was the younger cousin of the head of the Black Hound Guild and was a villain who did all sorts of dirty things.
He was also famous for using any ans to achieve his goal.
The characteristic grinning laugh made the other person feel anxious or uncomfortable.
He’s usually involved in dirty work that requires threats or blackmail…
I smiled as I held Kim Hyun-tae’s outstretched hand.
“nice to see you. “I am the landlord.”
After a while, the six of us sat facing each other.
In addition to us, there were more than 10 security guards waiting in the room.
They all had guns, and it was a ploy by Blackhound to create a sense of intimidation and make the deal more advantageous.
Of course, none of us would be discouraged by sothing like that.
Younghee Baek said.
“We’ll both be busy, so let’s get straight to the point. “We want to bring Wang Guho from the Black Hound Guild.”
Smirk.
Hyuntae Kim said with a genuine smile.
“I heard the story. But as you well know, Guho Wang is a very important talent in our guild.”
It’s so important.
If you had to choose the most useless superman in Black Hound, the one who would definitely be in the top three was the current Wang Guho.
In other words, they are trying to sell Wanggu Lake at a high price.
But Baek Young-hee was also skilled.
“We know very well what kind of person Wang Guho is. “You have good abilities, but unfortunately, you are not compatible with your current team, so you are going through a difficult ti.”
Wang Guho flinched at her words and then lowered his head.
Hyuntae Kim glanced over and said.
“Wang Guho is still young and we believe in his potential. “I think what’s important is the future, not the present.”
“The future does not guarantee the present value.”
“I don’t think so, but…”
I just quietly listened to the conversation between the two people.
“…….”
I was planning to stay quiet until the transaction was completed, as Baek Young-hee told .
While eating coffee and cake placed in front of the table.
Hello.
While drinking coffee, I glanced at the kid.
The guy had already finished his share of the cake and was aiming for another cake with his fork raised.
I pushed my cake towards the kid and looked at Wang Guho.
Rattling.
Wang Guho had been restless since a while ago.
His anxious gaze kept moving back and forth, and cold sweat was forming on his forehead like he was sick.
…He was originally a timid guy, but was it really that bad?
Negotiations continued while I was observing Wang Guho.
Kim Hyun-tae was in the position that he could not reduce even a single penny from the total penalty.
He showed Wang Guho’s contract to Baek Younghee and said.
“You must pay the entire penalty of 5 billion won as written here.”
Of course, Baek Young-hee tried to reduce the amount sohow.
“When evaluating Wang Ku-ho’s performance during his ti at Black Hound, his value cannot exceed 1 billion, no matter how high you set it.”
I can’t believe you’re talking like that when you’re in front of .
In tis like these, Baek Young-hee is also quite harsh.
Anyway, the tug-of-war between the two continued, and in the end, the story seed to settle around the 3 billion mark.
It was then.
Smirk.
Hyuntae Kim smiled unpleasantly and took sothing out of his pocket.
“Oh, co to think of it, I forgot.”
That was Wang Guho’s contract.
However, the content was different from the contract Baek Young-hee had been looking at so far.
Smirk.
A sadistic smile blood on Kim Hyun-tae’s face.
“Before you ca, we renewed our contract with Wang Guho.”
“What…”
When Baek Young-hee turned her head and glared at Wang Gu-ho, Wang Gu-ho avoided her gaze.
…Ugh, that bastard. That’s how it happened.
Kim Hyun-tae said, holding back his laughter.
“Now, as you can see here, the penalty is 10 billion won. “Then shall we begin negotiations again?”
At that mont, Baek Young-hee jumped up from her seat.
“you…!”
Baek Young-hee probably couldn’t bear the fact that she was teased for over an hour.
It was a situation that was enough to make angry, and I could have slapped Kim Hyun-tae in the face.
But the situation didn’t escalate from there as I grabbed her wrist before that.
“Stop it. “If you hit them, things will only get ssier.”
I know black hounds better than anyone else.
These bastards were hoping we would cause trouble here.
The security guards over there were recording our conversation and there were caras filming us everywhere.
“but…!”
Baek Young-hee looked back at with bloodshot eyes. I sighed and said to her who was angry and didn’t know what to do.
“He told to stay calm.”
“…….”
“Calm down. “Let’s go back.”
“…all right.”
We got up from our seats. Hyuntae Kim continued to grin.
“Are you just going to leave? Don’t you need it, Wang Guho?”
“…….”
Baek Young-hee ignored Kim Hyun-tae’s words and packed her bag.
“Please contact when you feel better. “We have no intention of selling it that expensive.”
When Baek Young-hee did not respond, Kim Hyun-tae changed the target and stimulated .
“Landlord. I heard that the landlord directly requested the recruitnt of Wang Gu-ho. “What was it that made you fall in love with our relief?”
Being sarcastic and sarcastic is Kim Hyun-tae’s specialty.
Because I knew Kim Hyun-tae well, I didn’t feel anything about his provocation.
Of course, if you have a tank like Wangguho, conquering the dungeon will be easier. But it didn’t an it was impossible.
There is also a Guardian’s Bracelet, and you can replace it by obtaining and taking it with you.
“Mr. Younghee. let’s go.”
Hyuntae Kim didn’t stop arguing until we turned around and headed for the door.
This ti Lily was the target.
“Baby. “Did you enjoy the cake?”
Lily, who couldn’t understand what was being said, didn’t even know that Kim Hyun-tae was calling her.
“You ate really well. it was tasty?”
The guy twitched and continued talking.
“But that cake was long past its expiration date. “I might have an upset stomach, so it would be better to go to the hospital quickly, right?”
Stand tall.
At that mont I stopped walking.
“…These fucking bastards.”
The next mont, I was standing in front of Kim Hyun-tae.
Before his eyes could widen in surprise, my palm hit his cheek.
Wow!
The inside of my cheek burst and my teeth spilled out.
“Hyuntae!”
Jang Seok-hyeon was startled and rushed towards .
Seok-Hyeon Jang. He was the team leader I used to serve in the past, but he is no longer a match for .
Ba-ba-ba-baak!
After a few punches, Seok-Hyeon Jang collapsed on the floor.
I kicked him into the corner and helped Hyuntae Kim up as he fell to the floor.
“Ugh…”
The guy was so shocked that he couldn’t even speak properly.
“what? “It’s past its expiration date?”
“Ugh…”
“Recognize that your life has passed its expiration date today.”
I stuffed all the cake left on the table into Hyuntae Kim’s mouth.
“Uk ….”
I was forced to spit out and put it in my throat and swallowed it.
I threw the unconscious Kim Hyun-tae to the floor and looked back at the security guards who were standing there with shocked faces.
“There’s no need to talk too much. Just ask your representative to co.”
