Episode 362
The reporters and students who simply came for an interview were handled by the talented Amy, but Shin Yoo-seong had no choice but to talk to the so-called ‘big player’ among them.
“I tried to contact you from before, but the communication channel was not good, so I came to see you in person. I’m sure you’ve already heard the introduction, but I… I’m doing this here.”
A woman who looked good with a single smile gave Shin Yoo-seong a business card.
[Belonging to the Brilliant Guild]
[Human Resources Team: Seongah Jin]
“…Brilliant Guild?”
Brilliant was a famous guild that any active hunter would have heard of at least once, but it was far from Shin Yoo-seong, who was still a student.
“There are countless guilds in Korea. They are doing various activities by spreading their power overseas, but the name that stands out among them is… Yusu Shinoh Shinseong Heuksan Myeongwol Jinsan. It will be just like this.”
Jin Seong-ah, who carefully sat on the sofa, looked at Shin Yoo-seong. She smiled with a relaxed, grown-up smile.
There are a total of three large guilds in the Shinno family. A total of 4 large guilds belonged to Shinsung Group and Yusu Family. Such a huge guild could receive various benefits and help just by belonging.
“Brilliant boasts the largest scale among the guilds belonging to such a divine group. In a way, you could say that it is a guild that is closely related to the party member, Lady Kim Eun-ah.”
Jin Seong-ah did not forget the appeal of ‘one family’, referring to Kim Eun-ah, a party member, with the skill of a personnel team.
“okay. So, did you come to propose to become a member of Brilliant’s guild?”
However, Jin Seong-ah’s proposal to Shin Yoo-seong did not have much merit yet. The Hunter Association and Kang Yoo-chan were in the back of Shin Yoo-seong, and Kim Eun-ah, as Jin Sung-ah said.
Even without joining a guild, he already had enough help and benefits from Brilliant.
However, Jin Seong-ah shook her head as if expecting Shin Yoo-seong’s reaction.
“no. Brilliant is a large guild, but Shin Yoo-seong is a rookie in the hunter world that the whole country is paying attention to. I have no intention of making such a cheeky proposal.”
Jin Seong-ah then took something out of her pocket and handed it to Shin Yoo-seong. The key looks rough on the outside, but Shin Yoo-seong knew what it was.
“Is this… an artifact?”
“you’re right. It is a symbolic item given only to our brilliant guild masters.”
Seongah Jin grabbed the key and blew mana into it. Then, a huge door made of mana was created in the infirmary.
“This key can open the way to Brilliant’s hideout like this. It is full of gold and silver treasures and artifacts that the current guild master, Myungwang Lee Hyeon-jo, has achieved.”
Even though Myeongwang Lee Hyeon-jo was out of active duty, he was a hunter with a reputation for his level 6 skills. The estimated value accumulated by Lee Hyeon-jo in his hideout through personal hunter activities and guild activities exceeded 100 billion won.
“The guild master said that he would be happy to give you this key if Yuseong Shin took the next position.”
It was a story that he would gladly give up such a huge fortune if he promised to take the position next to him.
“FYI… Even if the estimated value of the artifacts and treasures contained in the hideout is low, it is about 100 billion won, which is half of the wealth of the guild master. Among the 6th level hunters, there are only a handful of hunters who have achieved more wealth than our guild master.”
This was a truly unconventional proposal.
It was a proposal he would never make unless he believed that Yooseong Shin would revive and lead his guild. However, Lee Hyeon-jo bets such a huge fortune on a student who has never seen his face properly.
“Student Shin Yoo-seong attacked Louis, the 7th level boss, at a young age. The guild master trusts Shin Yoo-seong’s ability without any doubt.”
Remembrance!
Seongah Jin, who was talking, raised her index finger high.
“Someday I will reach the pinnacle of this Hunter world!”
It wasn’t as much as Yoo Min-seo’s offer to give half of Yusu Company’s shares, but the Brilliant Guild’s proposal was a huge proposal that would make even Shin Yoo-seong worry.
“…okay.”
“I’ve seen a lot of headhunting in the industry… but this is a great opportunity! I had never heard of such great conditions!”
Jin Seong-ah, who put her hands together, appealed with her eyes shining. Of course, that was natural. If only Shin Yooseong was invited, promotion in the guild would have been ridiculous.
chin!
But a new face appeared.
Kim Eun-ah, who had been nowhere to be seen, had returned.
“Ah wait! Secretly make such an offer to Yooseong!”
“Uh Eun-ah… Ah, nice to meet you again. How is Suhyun? I should have greeted the mistress first…”
Jin Seong-ah seemed embarrassed as soon as he saw Kim Eun-ah. There is no one in the business world who does not know Kim Eun-ah. In particular, there is no one who does not know Kim Eun-ah under the umbrella of Shinsung Group.
No matter what anyone said, Kim Seok-han was the first commander of Shinsung, and Kim Eun-ah was receiving a lot of protection. No matter what kind of power you have within the group, in front of Kim Eun-ah, it is literally the life of a fly.
“What do you know about my secretary?”
“sure. Didn’t Suhyeon tell you? I also sent a congratulatory wreath to class A when the lady entered Gaon…”
Kim Eun-ah frowned, perhaps remembering Seong-ah Jin only then.
“Oh was it you? Please don’t do that! What kind of wedding is the entrance ceremony? After embarrassingly sending dozens of them in a row…”
In the end, in front of the logic of capital, an absurd situation arose in which Jin Seong-ah, who had a high rank among active guild members, was embarrassed by one of the students.
“ah! yes All right! They talked about preparing something for the graduation ceremony… I’ll do my best to deliver it!”
“okay. It’s burdensome, so tell me to quit. And… this proposal came out pretty strong for that salty man….”
Who would dare to give the humiliating title of [Sadly Uncle] to Lee Hyeon-jo, the guild leader of Brilliant?
But Kim Eun-ah was able to do that.
It was all thanks to Seok-Han Kim that Brilliant was able to come under the umbrella of Shinsung Group, and Hyun-Jo Lee was close to Eun-Ah Kim’s father, so they got acquainted with each other at banquets since childhood.
Thanks to this, Kim Eun-ah knew Lee Hyeon-jo well. He knew his goal all too well.
“Because Yooseong is doing well and he’s close with me. Aren’t you trying to make your connections tighter? Anyway… The people on my father’s side don’t like it! It’s too calculated.”
“ha ha ha! Ah, lady…”
Jin Seong-ah, who looked embarrassed, somehow overlapped with the appearance of his exclusive secretary, Lee Soo-hyun.
Kim Eun-ah was a good precedent that showed how to bewilder the people around her when her unpredictable self-paced and omnipotent power are combined.
“Still, seeing that the next guild master is being given, it shows a bit of sincerity… Are you interested in Yooseong?”
At Kim Eun-ah’s question, Shin Yoo-seong smiled and shook his head.
“I think it is too early. There are too many things I have to do to be a guild master.”
Kim Eun-ah nodded.
“I understand. Being in a high position means taking on a lot of responsibility. And… even now, we haven’t shown all our values, have we? Our party is about to begin.”
At least when calculating calculations and profit and loss, Kim Eun-ah was faster than anyone else. Kim Eun-ah knew that Lee Hyeon-jo was very resourceful and knew that his actions were an investment.
“I bet the old man knows. Compared to the value you will soon show, your current reputation is at a low point.”
After hearing Kim Eun-ah’s words, Jin Seong-ah did not deny it.
“you’re right. Our Brilliant believes that Yooseong Shin’s party can become the best hunter in Korea and around the world. …just like King Kwon. That’s why it’s a judgment that the current investment is not expensive.”
“I still have my eyesight. I don’t like being too calculating.”
Kim Eun-ah seemed to like Jin Seong-ah’s candid attitude and smiled with a satisfied face. Detracting from products and lowering prices were not the only trade techniques.
“Then, student Shin Yoo-seong, our Brilliant proposal is…”
“Sorry.”
When Shin Yoo-seong politely refused, Jin Seong-ah stood up with a face full of regret.
“…All right. Thank you for your time.”
Surprisingly, when Jin Seong-ah was about to leave her seat, Kim Eun-ah let out a soft snoring sound and tapped the table.
“however. Why are you trying to decide the next guild master right now… is it because of that position?”
It’s a question without even a subject, but Jin Seong-ah was surprised by Eun-ah Kim’s wisdom. I wonder if she can’t deceive her bloodline, but Jin Seong-ah couldn’t believe that Kim Eun-ah could have figured out Lee Hyeon-jo’s purpose with only this amount of information.
“…if you say that place?”
In the end, when Jin Seong-ah threw out the words that she was thinking about once, Kim Eun-ah looked at her well-managed nails and answered casually.
“Please don’t treat me like an idiot. Who will be the next Hunter Association president? It’s such a hot topic. Of course, until now… the head of the Shin-O family is the most influential.”
Jin Seong-ah was genuinely surprised.
It was never an easy guess that Lee Hyeon-jo was aiming for the next president of the Hunter Association, unless he was an aide by his side. Currently, the most likely candidates for the next president of the Hunter Association were the Shin-Oh family and the Yoo family, to which 7th-level hunters Shin Kang-yoon and Yoo Min-seo belonged.
“Because the position of Hunter Association president is not decided only by ‘strong’. If you bring Yooseong, who is considered the most outstanding rookie,… that uncle’s influence will increase. Did you think it was a possible fight?”
Kim Eun-ah, who checked all her nails, looked at Jin Seong-ah with a satisfied face.
“Right?”
Jin Seong-ah said that Kim Eun-ah’s attitude, which was so leisurely, was ‘Is this enough hair?’ It felt like he was praising himself.
“…As expected, the lady is amazing. I think I know why the president cares for her so much.”
Kim Eun-ah looked at Jin Seong-ah and smiled. Jin Seong-ah seems to have already admired it, but Kim Eun-ah did not reveal her real self.
In this part, Kim Eun-a had a good head. He even liked revenge by giving back what he received, just like his grandfather and father.
‘So…’
The Shin Oh family abandoned Shin Yoo-seong.
As long as I knew the goal of Shin Kang-yoon, the head of the Shin-O family, I had no intention of letting him get what he wanted. Even without Shin Yoo-seong’s permission, Kim Eun-ah was already full of thoughts of interfering with Shin Kang-yoon’s plan.
“Don’t worry. Even if you don’t take Yooseong with you, someday… we might be able to help.”
