Chapter 146

Chapter 139 A Shard Within (1)

“With only a B class hunter as your bodyguard, there might be a third attempt to kidnap you today . ”

Yoohyun laughed while he respectfully held an umbrella over my head . He would look like Hunter Minyui Kim to other people .

“If there are people who try to take such a foolish chance, I’ll burn their roots as a welcome . So please don’t worry . ”

“You’re a dependable person like my brother . ”

I walked along while trying to stifle my laughter . Other hunters worried over me and continued to ask if I was all right with only a B class hunter as I went to the parking lot .

“Hunter Minyui Kim is more than enough . ”

The hunters looked at Yoohyun with surprised eyes . While Minyui Kim had a useful skill, he was only a B class supporter who had officially met me for the first time . It would be strange for me to trust him .

However, I did not want to be indifferent to him and thought it would be useful to raise Minyui’s value . After all, I was the person to be connected with nowadays .

Minyui Kim’s car was a small and yellow foreign compact model, and his novice driver sign had a character on it .

“Even his air freshener is cute . ”

There was a famous children’s character mini-doll hanging on one side . I wondered whether kids nowadays liked this sort of thing, and remembering Yoohyun’s bleak car saddened me a little .

“Do you have a hobby?”

“A hobby? No . ”

Yoohyun replied while turning on the engine .

“You really don’t have anything you want to do and the like?”

“I didn’t have time to think of such things . ”

Yoohyun’s quiet reply made me think my question was an unnecessary one . However, my brother might have the time to find a hobby if his surroundings allowed it in the future . He should not become Hyunjae Sung or Riette . There were not any S classes from birth that would serve as a suitable example, and I might have to count on the other two .

‘I have to search for them anyway . Please let them be the right people . ’

My life was already going crazy, and I needed a break now . Riette would appear soon, and I might have to meet her with my lowered fear resistance . The thought made my head spin .

I first replaced my broken cell phone . While the television and the Internet moved on to new issues, people inside and outside of the communication service branch store [still] recognized who I was . A grandmother held my hand and told me I had gone through much trouble .

I had my USIM chip replaced in embarrassment and called our dear Sesung Guild Leader after getting back to the car . However, he did not answer for once . Was he busy? I called him again to no avail, so I changed tactics and tried to get Soyoung Kang on the phone .

[Hello, Mr . Yoojin Han!]

“Hello, Ms . Soyoung . Do you know where Sesung Guild Leader is? He’s not answering the phone . ”

[Guild Leader is um, officially conquering a dungeon right now . ]

“I met him last night . ”

Her lie was transparent as there would have been multiple witnesses who saw numerous lightning bolts shower down in an otherwise dry sky . The association lapped it up since they wanted the credit, and yesterday’s processing of the dungeon break was said to be by association hunters headed by Taewon Song on television .

I had not seen another hunter, although it would have been bothersome if they had come even though they had been notified that an S class monster appeared . There was no healer present anyway .

[Oh, you did . I did not know that because you were not mentioned . It’s no surprise since when our Guild Leader moves without prior notice nowadays, his actions have to do something with you on a 99% average . ]

Was I that bad? I did act on a whim often, and someone like Hyunjae Sung would move on a planned schedule .

[Would you come to the guild? I’ll get in touch with him . ]

“Yes, thank you . ”

We should tie up the ends as soon as possible . I called Taewon Song after I ended the phone, but he did not answer . He probably was still unable to replace his phone, as his cards would have become unusable .

“Let’s go to Sesung . ”

“I know we are not up to their level, but I’m still pissed off . I wish you wouldn’t have to go there . ”

Yoohyun turned the handle while he continued to grumble . While Haeyeon Guild would match Sesung regarding domestic dungeon conquering abilities when we assembled an S class team with Yerim, we were still far behind in other fields . Of course, a guild founded by a teenager going this far was an impressive feat in itself .

“You’re only twenty . How can a minor who started from scratch catch up to an adult who already carved his place in society in such a short time? I heard that the Sesung Guild Leader was going places even before his awakening . ”

“I know that he did not have any trouble with funds . ”

“Do you know what he did?”

I had no personal interest regarding Hyunjae Sung, but I was curious . Did he really have foreign blood in him? He would have stood out before awakening as a hunter if he had lived in Korea . Since I did not have any information, there was a high possibility of him having been abroad .

“I don’t know, and I have no reason to know . ”

“I can’t say to be on friendly terms with him as he is also an S class hunter, but he is a good business associate . ”

He was special, and Yoohyun could learn how to be a better guild leader .

“Don’t become friends . You might pick up something bad . ”

“I’m not friends with him . ”

“Yeah, Ms . Hyuna Moon would be the best bet to be friends within the guild leaders . Noah and Ms . Soyoung would make good friends . It’s best to be friends with someone your age, and you should ignore old men . ”

I felt better when I thought of them in the same place, including Yerim . It was a fresh and comforting sight .

“When we finish up this-“

It was then Yoohyun reached out to me with his hand . A longsword burst out and ripped my seatbelt . The blade spun over my head to penetrate the car door and became embedded on the road .

Then I heard a loud screeching noise of tires hitting the ground, and something crashed into the yellow compact car . At the same time, Yoohyun’s sword absorbed the impact of the crash and struck out at the car that had hit us .
