Chapter 94
Edited By: Sebas Tian
Who was Herhim?
He was like a living legend within the hunter world .
Mikhail, the Phoenix user, was currently the most famous hunter, but Herhim was the most famous before them .
At the hunter training school, Herhim’s na was ntioned during history class .
Even though it’s been a while since he retired from attacking the portals, as a veteran, he played an important role .
And he was right in front of Hyun-Soo .
“Say hi, Hyun-Soo . This is Mr . Herhim . I’m sure you already know him without explaining, right?”
“Of course . It’s an honor to et you, Mr . Herhim . ”
“Mr . Herhim . This is Kim Hyun-Soo and he’s a mber of the clan . This is Hyuna and she’s Hyun-Soo’s younger sister . ”
“It’s nice to et you, Mr . Kim . And lady . ”
The man that had a mix of grey and blonde hair greeted them .
He was pretty old, but because he was a hunter, he looked a lot younger .
Herhim agreed to join Kim Yoo-Na and the others temporarily .
“I heard what happened . Your clan was the first one to clear the colorful portal, right?”
“Yes, and I’ve passed along the information to so of the groups . ”
“Making a decision for sothing like that isn’t easy, but you did well . It’s more important to look ahead than look at the benefits that’s in front of you . ”
“Yes . Oh yeah, Hyun-Soo had the most important role when we attacked the portal . ”
“Oh~ I knew soone was involved when I read the report . With a probability of hundreds of thousands to one, I was curious about the one who was able to find the correct answer . ”
Herhim’s blue eyes were filled with curiosity as he looked at Hyun-Soo .
Hyun-Soo felt himself straightening his back .
Herhim’s eyes looked like they could see into one’s soul and after looking at Hyun-Soo, he started laughing .
“eting a talented person is always fun . When you have the chance, please visit my place . I have high-quality wine, so we can all drink so . It’s very rare for Yoo-Na to complint soone like this . As you know, Yoo-Na gets embarrassed very easily . ”
“Mr . Herhim! What are you talking about?!”
“Haha . See what I an? She’s not like the girls that you see these days . ”
To Hyun-Soo, she seed more shocked than embarrassed because of what Herhim said .
But for Herhim, he must’ve felt that she was feeble and reserved, despite the fact that she was able to take down monsters while swinging her fiery hands .
“I’m sorry that I interrupted your al . The conversation went on longer than I expected . Please co visit when you have the ti . You co too, Yoo-Na . ”
When Herhim left, Kim Yoo-Na smiled .
“What a relief . We were lucky . ”
“Lucky?”
“Yes, Mr . Herhim is a regular here . I didn’t purposely plan this, but we coincidentally t . That’s good . It really does seem like luck is on your side . ”
Kim Yoo-Na quietly explained that the brief eting with Mr . Herhim will benefit him in the future .
She also added that if they purposely went to go et him, others will notice, so making this eting look coincidental was the best way to et him .
What she’s trying to say is .
She said she didn’t plan for this, but she actually did .
With the intent of introducing Hyun-Soo to the famous, Herhim .
If that wasn’t the case, then there was no need for her to make this situation seem like a coincidence since she already knew Herhim .
‘Is this…her way of paying back?’
Up until now, Hyun-Soo refused everything that Kim Yoo-Ana offered .
He would accept them if they were small, but the things that she offered were too much and burdening, so he refused…
‘…Despite that, she prepared this . ’
Whenever he refused, she would always say “Let’s talk again later,” but he didn’t think it would turn out like this .
Hyun-Soo’s assumption must’ve been correct because Kim Yoo-Na had a bright smile on her face .
“Mr . Herhim is a pretty picky person, but he must’ve liked you . It’s a relief . ”
“Why are you doing all of this for ?”
He was curious .
Is there a person alive that would go this far when the recipient refused to accept it?
These days, you have to look out to yourself .
So Kim Yoo-Na could’ve used Hyun-Soo’s refusal as a reason to keep those rewards to herself .
Hyun-Soo said he was okay and no one would say anything bad to Kim Yoo-Na about it anyways .
But she didn’t do that .
She bought him clothes, took him to a high-class restaurant and introduced him to a legend in the hunter world .
When she asked him to follow her, that’s when her repaynt started .
“…… . ”
Hyun-Soo looked at the clothes that he was wearing and the food that he enjoyed eating .
And then he turned to Kim Yoo-Na .
“Hyuna…”
Kim Yoo-Na looked away awkwardly .
It looked like her ears turned red .
It could be because of the reddish light .
“……?”
“She said you’ll feel too burdened if I gave you a yacht or land and recomnded buying you food . ”
Hyun-Soo looked at Hyuna with a “Really?” look .
But Hyuna was making weird expressions, so he couldn’t really read her .
Hyuna probably told Kim Yoo-Na that all she had to do was buy him food .
But who knew that the conversation would turn out like this .
Hyuna was surprised by how much Kim Yoo-Na spent .
“But, I don’t think this is enough…and since you would be burdened by monetary items, I thought about what I could do . Are you…mad?”
Kim Yoo-Na carefully glanced at Hyun-Soo .
After hearing that, Hyun-Soo felt like he was the bad guy .
All of this happened because he refused her offers .
“No . I’m thankful . The food was great and it was surprising to see the person that I’ve read about in books . ”
“That’s a relief . ”
Hyuna watched the two and mumbled after letting out a sigh .
“I expected it, but I guess he really doesn’t understand…”
“About what?”
Even though she mumbled it, it was loud enough for a high-ranking hunter to hear it .
When Hyun-Soo asked, Hyuna shook her head and said it was nothing .
“Um, it’s nothing . It’s sothing you shouldn’t hear . ”
“……?”
***
“Hey, rookie! I heard you went out with the leader . ”
“Was it a date?”
“If you say yes, I’ll kill you . ”
“All she did was buy food . ”
Even though they were smiling, their eyes looked deadly, so Hyun-Soo quickly told them the truth .
When Hyun-Soo denied it, the mbers looked like they suddenly lost their energy .
All but one of them .
One of them had a bright smile on their face .
“Hey, pay up already . ”
“……?”
When Eugene spoke, everyone took out money with an unsatisfied expression and handed it to Eugene .
“Did you guys make a bet?”
“Don’t worry about it . They’re always like that . ”
But Eugene said this bet was pretty fun and laughed while waving the money .
Eugene made fun of them because even though they made a bet that it was a date, they were secretly hoping that it wasn’t .
“Here’s your share . ”
“My share…?”
Eugene grabbed half of his earnings and gave it to Hyun-Soo .
The mbers that lost money were depressed for a mont, but felt good when Hyun-Soo confird that it wasn’t a date and after talking amongst themselves, they walked outside .
“They’re really excited . ”
These days, everyone seed pretty happy .
He felt the sa when Kim Yoo-Na dragged him out and he turned into Cinderella .
The reason .
“We finally took that elder’s land! Hahaha!”
The fight went on for a long ti and they finally won .
‘I think they’re happier about making them miserable than taking the actual land . ’
As long as they’re happy .
Because of this happy atmosphere, the mbers felt joy even in the smallest things .
And making a bet about Hyun-Soo’s outing was part of it .
“Let’s go make so money . ”
“Right . We need to build an airstrip and a control tower . ”
They had more than enough to build a control tower, but they asked Kim Yoo-Na if they had any requests .
Like a skilled trainer, Kim Yoo-Na cald them down by saying that she would go get one if they behave .
The joyful atmosphere was maintained for a few days .
And it looked like it would stay that way for a while .
But one day .
While training in the center room, one of the hunters spoke as if they thought about sothing .
“Oh, I heard we’ll be getting the reward for the last request soon . I heard it from the data processing room before coming here, so the news is pretty new . It’s possible that we got it already . It’ll be a short break before the next request, so why not go sowhere with your sister?”
They recomnded that Hyun-Soo rest when he had the chance .
But the person that recomnded it trained really hard, so what they said wasn’t credible .
That wasn’t the important part .
There was sothing else that caught Hyun-Soo’s attention .
‘Reward?’
After the training, Hyun-Soo imdiately headed back to the dorm .
When receiving money, one must be pious and make sure their body and soul are calm .
“Whew…… . ”
After taking a deep breath, Hyun-Soo checked his bank account .
And then .
“……Oh!”
He almost stopped breathing .
Hyun-Soo completed the request regarding the colorful portal .
It wasn’t a hunt where they simply took down a monster and obtained Energy Stones .
So he thought that his share was going to be different from before, but…
‘How many zeroes are there?’
It was a large amount .
They must’ve given the clan a bonus for completing the request and to pay back for the expenses, so the clan probably got a lot more than what was originally offered .
But still, he should’ve been given a warning for an amount like this .
“What…do I do with this?”
People say that you suddenly lose grip of reality when you obtain a large amount of money .
Hyun-Soo thought about one thing after coming back to his senses .
His parents .
When he looked at the clock, he noticed that it was morning in Korea .
– Ring .
Even though it was an international call, Hyun-Soo didn’t mind since he had a lot of money .
Click!
– “Hello?”
“Mom?”
– “Hyun-Soo? Is that you, Hyun-Soo?”
“Yes, it’s . How are you?”
– “We’re doing just fine . What about you? Are you okay? You’re not doing anything dangerous, right?”
It’s been a while since his mother heard Hyun-Soo’s voice, so she was really happy .
Since so many things happened when he ca, he wasn’t able to call often, so he felt a bit bad about that .
Hyun-Soo’s mother asked about his well-being, his life within the clan and if he was getting along with the other mbers .
Even though Hyuna called often and told his mother the things that happened, she was probably still worried .
After answering her questions, she must’ve felt relieved because she asked why he called .
– “Is sothing the matter? Why did you call?”
