Chapter 104
Edited By: Sebas Tian
“……Excuse ?”
“Is there a reason to pressure you in making those potions? Before you joined, all the mbers were already above average hunters that received attention wherever they went . ”
It ant that there was no reason to make the potions exclusive .
‘Well, soone is overflowing with confidence . ’
Even if other hunters increased their stats by using a potion, Kim Yoo-Na was confident that the mbers would still win .
She was definitely worthy enough to be the clan’s leader .
She was confident that they would rule over even without using those tricks .
And her dignity .
Hyun-Soo felt that Kim Yoo-Na was able to beco this confident and have pride because she didn’t question her skills .
‘I knew it . ’
He had a keen eye .
The more he spent ti with her, the more he admired her .
The confidence that a strong hunter displayed was really beautiful .
“I see . I guess there was no point in asking . ”
“It’s fine . I understand why you would ask . But, I am a bit sad though . Did I do sothing to make you not trust ?”
“No, it’s not that . You already know all the things that I went through…”
“Oh, right . You did . Right . ”
Hyun-Soo was surprised, so he tried to co up with an excuse .
It felt like sweat was rolling down his body .
Hearing a beautiful woman sorrowfully express how sad she was wasn’t good for anyone’s heart .
Hyun-Soo felt like it was his fault .
When he ntioned the past events, Kim Yoo-Na must’ve understood because a small smile appeared on her face .
‘……She’s not doing it on purpose, right?’
Hyun-Soo was confused by how quickly the conversation changed .
“Are you free this afternoon?”
“H-huh? Well, I don’t have any plans . ”
“Then, do you want to go to the black market together? As you know from Mr . Herhim’s personality…it’s better to go as soon as possible . ”
Hyun-Soo felt a bit disappointed because there were so potions that were incomplete, but he nodded his head .
“Then let’s et at the entrance in an hour . ”
“Okay . ”
When Hyun-Soo stood up, Riri, who was playing on his shoulder, slid off so they started flapping their wings .
Kim Yoo-Na’s eyes naturally turned to Riri .
“It’s…Riri, right? When you do sothing with Riri, please call too . I think it’ll be good research material . ”
Kim Yoo-Na’s eyes were filled with excitent and expectation when she made that request .
Even though she said it was for research material, it looked like she was trying to fill her personal greed .
She reminded him of Hyuna .
It didn’t really fit well with Kim Yoo-Na, but Hyun-Soo thought it was pretty cute .
Maybe that’s why .
“Ha ha, okay . ”
He laughed .
He felt Kim Yoo-Na looking at him with disappointnt as he left the room .
‘I guess Riri must be really cute . ’
Honestly, Riri was pretty cute .
But since Hyun-Soo was a guy, it was hard to understand why Hyuna and Kim Yoo-Na were desperately trying to look at Riri .
‘Is it because they both like cute things?’
Hyun-Soo assud it’s because of Riri’s appearance and returned to his dorm to grab the potions .
Other than Hyuna and Kim Yoo-Na, Hyun-Soo never imagined there would be others that would react the sa way .

“Welco . So, you brought the potion, right?”
After they passed the security check, they were led to the most private in the black market and Herhim welco Hyun-Soo with open arms .
Like the first ti, Herhim walked towards him with a warm smile .
But Kim Yoo-Na already inford Hyun-Soo about Herhim’s personality, so Hyun-Soo smiled awkwardly and handed the shopping bag he brought with him .
“Oh my! Precious items shouldn’t be placed in a bag like this . I’ll provide you with a bag next ti . ”
Herhim was extrely shocked when he saw the shopping bag .
“Did Yoo-Na tell you?”
“Yes . ”
“Great . That makes things a lot easier . We’re going to auction it first so that we can promote it as well . I’ll make sure to give you a big share . After we deduct the processing fee, we’ll give you the rest . If you want, we can give you that amount in cash . And in the future, we’ll do whatever you ask, as long as it’s possible . But . ”
Hyun-Soo didn’t know much about this world, so to him, it sounded like a good deal .
However, Herhim wasn’t finished .
“I want you to sell only through us . ”
“Didn’t we already agree to do that?”
“Ha ha ha! You’re right . We did . I just wanted to make sure . I look forward to…huh?”
Hyun-Soo was nervous about what he was going to say, but released a sigh of relief when Herhim said sothing he already knew .
But Herhim’s smiling face turned into a serious one .
Hyun-Soo felt overpowered by his stern expression .
Hyun-Soo knew what it was regarding, so his body beca stiff .
Herhim probably wouldn’t do this, but Hyun-Soo thought that maybe Herhim would try to backstab him after getting Hyun-Soo to put down his guard . That thought made Hyun-Soo nervous .
“What is that?!”
Herhim yelled .
“The thing on your head! That! Am I hallucinating?”
“This?”
“Yes! You can see it too, right? That ans it’s actually there . What exactly is that?!”
He rembered putting Riri into his coat pocket, but it must’ve flew out and went to the top of his head .
The well-mannered gentleman quickly stood up and after running up to Hyun-Soo, he yelled because he couldn’t contain his excitent .
Hyun-Soo almost fell, but after calmly stepping back, he extended his hand out .
Riri’s wings gently fluttered and flew in front of Hyun-Soo .
“Gasp . Pant……!”
His heart……!
Herhim jokingly grabbed his chest .
It ant that he was that shocked to see Riri .
“That…what is that?”
“Mr . Herhim . We ca here to talk about selling the potion . ”
Kim Yoo-Na intercepted when she noticed Herhim’s hand shaking like soone that was experiencing drug withdrawal .
Kim Yoo-Na must’ve felt embarrassed because her cheeks beca red and she knew she reacted the sa way as him .
But Herhim reacted more aggressively .
“I’ll exclude two, no three percent of the processing fee . How about it?”
When he gave a specific amount, Kim Yoo-Na looked at Hyun-Soo and waited for him to make a decision .
‘There’s nothing for to hide . ’
He was going to show it off anyways .
On top of that, a lot more people were going to see Riri as ti passes .
And that’ll raise Hyun-Soo’s and the clan’s value .
“It’s a monster . ”
“Monster! Is it from the colorful portal? No . I heard the corpse was taken to the research lab . ”
Even though they didn’t tell him, Herhim already had the information and he mumbled as if sothing was wrong .
“That’s correct . The fairy is from the colorful portal . It was in an egg when I found it and then it hatched . ”
“Tell the details . ”
“There isn’t much to say, but…”
“One million!”
“Where should I start?”
***
Hyun-Soo was going to tell him anyways, but after stalling for a bit, he earned one million won .
‘It’s really easy to make money . ’
He never imagined this happening .
Herhim agreed to categorize the information into the special category and not reveal it to anyone .
Hyun-Soo asked why he was gathering information he wasn’t going to sell and Herhim said .
“There’s nothing more pleasing than satisfying my curiosity . ”
After telling him about Riri, they finished talking about selling the potion and how they were going to share the money .
After talking about the official duties, they started talking about more private matters .
“Right, I heard . You’re not getting approval?”
“Yes and according to them, there’s an issue in managent, so that’s why it’s being delayed . ”
“Bullshit . ”
“That kind of language is…but I agree . ”
“Is it because we got involved?”
“That’s probably part of it . But it’s probably because they’re disgusted by us . ”
Herhim clicked his tongue .
“Did you know that the number of portal hunts are decreasing?”
“The number of hunts are decreasing?”
“That’s right . The number of approval have decreased significantly . Because of that, the portals that are closer to their pop-up ti aren’t being taken care of, so it has beco a big headache . ”
“Why is that?”
Kim Yoo-Na was confused .
Hyun-Soo was also curious .
Other groups and guilds were probably getting approvals, but after listening to what Herhim said, the hunters refused .
“The reason is simple . It’s because of the colorful portal . ”
“Aren’t ordinary portals and colorful portals different? Why are they avoiding the ordinary portals?”
Hyun-Soo had an idea why .
“Are they getting more scared of the colorful portal?”
Herhim nodded his head after being surprised by what Hyun-Soo said .
“You’re right . That’s the answer . Since there aren’t a lot of information regarding the colorful portal, everyone is trying to be careful . Not that long ago, two very famous groups entered and didn’t co back, so it impacted heavily amongst the hunters . ”
“Did they receive the request?”
“No, they didn’t . They said they were confident so they volunteered . ”
Kim Yoo-Na’s clan was the only clan that succeeded in hunting the colorful portal .
Even though the information about the colorful portal was revealed through the black market, it wasn’t that effective .
The colorful portal always changed .
It was different from the ordinary portal that had a majority of things set in place .
It ant that there was no information about what was inside or how they should hunt .
Everyone failed to attack the colorful portal before, but it was different now .
But one .
There was one clan that cleared it .
The two clans that failed to clear the colorful portal probably felt like they were in danger after hearing about the one clan that succeeded .
If they don’t go for it now, they’ll be left behind .
That feeling drove the two groups to their death .
High risk, high return .
The more dangerous it is, the more profit one earns .
They knew it was dangerous, but if they clear it, they knew they would receive a big reward so they put their life on the line for that reward .
“When considering the rank, the group was pretty high up there . But in the end, they failed . Because of that, things got out of hand . ”
Majority of the hunters knew of the colorful portal’s existence because of the information that was revealed .
It’s all thanks to Kim Yoo-Na . She revealed that information to warn the other hunters to not throw their life away because of the reward .
But they didn’t realize how dangerous it really was .
They knew other groups failed in the past, but since a clan succeeded in clearing it, they believed that the past groups that failed were just unlucky .
Because of that, when the hunters found out that the two, confident groups failed, they beca more anxious .
“If they succeeded, things would be the total opposite . ”
