Chapter 46

Ara Hongryeon Guild started running busily from dawn.

“Hey, came early.”

“Where was today? Sokcho?”

“Other kids say gather right that way. Let’s depart.”

Awakeners assigned dungeons or work came to work packing equipment and ordinary employees to assist them also arrived one after another.

Those confirming materials with tablets, engineers inspecting equipment, porters confirming supplies etc.

Performing each role today too the awakener industry was rolling as if gears meshing.

“Hey! Is director Kim Donggil there?”

“Welcome, president. I’ll guide inside.”

Soon business related people associated with the guild poured in and each department ran fiercely.

Not only employees were busy.

As much as Ara Hongryeon could still be called a large guild executives also digested schedules mindlessly and some did advertisements or photo shoots, some prepared collaboration with other guilds turning phones here and there.

But the field was quieter than expected.

“Ah, gradually the subjugation seems about to complete!”

A mountain in Gimpo, Gyeonggi-do.

The employee guarding the dungeon’s entrance said with an excited expression. Guild master Han Seokjun beside him nodded with a calm face.

“Should be around now. Since the plan was made that way.”

Casually confirming the time about 5 minutes remained of the planned time. And before that 5 minutes was even filled the entrance wriggled.

“Coming out!”

The support team waiting hurriedly prepared. Soon from the dungeon entrance awakeners started coming out.

“Good work! Please come this way.”

“No injuries? Treatment vehicle is waiting here!”

Watching team leader Jeong Soyeon coming out last Han Seokjun approached.

“Good work.”

“Ah, guild master. You were out.”

Jeong Soyeon whose appearance became a bit messy but looked fine without injured places.

“No problems?”

“According to plan no disruption in the schedule. Excluding one minor injured person no variables either.”

Saaa--

An employee approached and started spraying liquid on Jeong Soyeon’s body. A kind of disinfection process.

“By the way what brings the guild master directly here?”

“Sorry to the 1st team leader who just came out of the dungeon but can you spare a bit of time today?”

“Of course.”

“Today a meeting with Iron Blood Guild is set. Anyway it seems executives of team leader level or above all have to gather.”

“Ah!”

Jeong Soyeon who was in the dungeon for several days couldn’t know the meeting set in the meantime. Han Seokjun also said with a sorry face at the suddenly set meeting with Iron Blood Guild.

“A bit later decided to meet at our guild building. After this meeting ends I’ll give 2 weeks of holiday.”

“Good!”

Inwardly wanted rest but at Han Seokjun’s words of doubling the rest period that is usually only one week after dungeon subjugation Jeong Soyeon immediately shouted.

Soon leaving behind the employees entering the cleared dungeon to retrieve spoils Han Seokjun and Jeong Soyeon boarded the vehicle.

“But why is Iron Blood Guild suddenly coming?”

“Until now talks between guild masters also became infrequent, and representative Baek Taeseop of Iron Blood Guild has acquaintance with me too. After a long time meet and exchange stories...”

Watching Han Seokjun trailing off Jeong Soyeon who guessed there was something else behind quietly waited.

“Director Choi Yeongseong also suddenly contacted.”

“Former research director Choi Yeongseong?”

“Iron Blood Guild, no representative Baek Taeseop also asked to call the research director. Probably stories went back and forth between the two first, according to Director Choi’s contact it seems because of the antidote.”

“Antidote? No, wasn’t the stinginess poison impossible to detoxify?”

Jeong Soyeon whose two eyes enlarged in surprise waited for Han Seokjun’s next words.

“Team leader Jeong Soyeon.”

“Yes.”

“Remember the fruit and vegetable juice you drank when subjugating the Yeongdeungpo grade 4 dungeon last time?”

“Yes, I remember.”

“Among the effects written there there was also detoxification effect you’ll remember.”

At Han Seokjun’s words Jeong Soyeon nodded.

But she couldn’t even guess why that story was coming out now.

“The result came out that the stinginess poison is possible to detoxify with that fruit and vegetable juice. Director Choi Yeongseong this time directly gave me a hint.”

“Ah...!”

This time she couldn’t help but be more surprised than earlier.

Jeong Soyeon who almost stood up inside the vehicle soon spat out something that came to mind.

“Then sister Siyoung?”

“The state became very good they say.”

“Aaa!!”

Jeong Soyeon who covered her mouth soon reddened her eyes. Though not active together the news of the awakener she admired from childhood improving touched Jeong Soyeon’s emotions.

Actually she was someone who met Kim Siyoung directly receiving Choi Yeongseong’s invitation so this news was more meaningful.

“That... detoxification is possible with Mr. Gyuseong’s fruit and vegetable juice? Sorry. Because unbelievable I end up asking back.”

“Already most of vice guild master Kim Siyoung’s poison has been detoxified they say. Thanks to Mr. Gyuseong.”

Han Seokjun answered smiling.

Jeong Soyeon who heard words no different from confirmation fully excited recalled various thoughts then suddenly muttered with a pale complexion.

“Never dreamed that fruit and vegetable juice would detoxify even the stinginess poison. Drinking such a precious thing just to subjugate a grade 4 dungeon...”

“No. Rather because used such a precious thing such a shortest new record could come out.”

“Thinking like that it’s so again.”

“All Mr. Gyuseong’s ability. Really an amazing person.”

“...I should have delivered the contract directly to Mr. Gyuseong.”

Jeong Soyeon whose complexion returned wiped the barely held tears and smiled brightly.

“Anyway really fortunate! This vacation I should go meet sister Siyoung.”

“Um, actually I also after today’s meeting with Iron Blood Guild ends planned to follow on the way Director Choi returns. To check Miss Siyoung’s state.”

“Uh? Then I go together too!”

“Understood. Later I’ll ask Director Choi.”

Jeong Soyeon whose mood improved at the unexpected positive news smiled brightly then suddenly tilted her head.

“But why not informing this fact to the surroundings? If news of sister Siyoung, no vice guild master’s treatment the whole nation of our country would rejoice...”

In the middle of speaking Jeong Soyeon also realized.

Kim Siyoung was no less a grade 8 awakener.

Nationally stepping forward to treat Kim Siyoung’s poisoning failed but an individual not even affiliated with a guild succeeded in treatment alone?

If this fact is known not only Kim Siyoung’s treatment but Gyuseong’s existence would cause ripples. Moreover is Gyuseong’s ability only that?

‘Even crops with unprecedented effects... The aftermath will be tremendous.’

Watching Jeong Soyeon’s expression Han Seokjun who guessed she found the answer herself said.

“Not simply a problem of only our country. At the time the countries that participated in the stinginess dungeon subjugation total 12. And the number of awakeners who entered was no less 46. Most would have said farewell but some still living also exist.”

“...Mr. Gyuseong really accomplished an amazing thing. Now I really feel it.”

The awakeners who participated in the stinginess dungeon were all people who made names at the time. That too selected personnel throughout the world so people with prominent fame.

Most of them died in the dungeon or couldn’t endure a few years due to poison and died but still living ones also strictly exist.

If their treatment is done it was the same as forgotten past heroes reviving.

“Anyway since Miss Siyoung’s treatment succeeded awakener Baek Seunghyeon of Iron Blood Guild will also be able to get better. Probably if so it will become the form of attaching wings to Iron Blood Guild that is already competing for the top of the Republic of Korea.”

“I think differently.”

Jeong Soyeon shook her head.

At that appearance when Han Seokjun felt puzzled she continued words.

“Awakener Baek Seunghyeon too and sister Siyoung too. I don’t know if they’ll return again.”

“Um, there is reason. Unlike the presence of ability return is a separate problem.”

“I rather hope they don’t return and live comfortably as they want. I know saying such words in front of the guild master is rude but I hope sister Siyoung’s personal life is prioritized more than the guild’s benefit.”

Toward Jeong Soyeon who while casually checking eyes says all the words Han Seokjun burst into small laughter.

“Haha. Team leader 1’s words are unconditionally right. I thought too focused only on ability. Right. Stolen 10 years of time by poison returning to the guild is absurd.”

While exchanging conversation the vehicle before I knew it arrived at the Seocho-gu guild building.

The two who got off the car and entered the building the building security urgently approached.

“Guild master, there is something to tell.”

“Yes, Mr. Jeonggil. What’s the matter?”

“Iron Blood Guild’s guests have arrived.”

“...Came much faster than expected. There was no contact.”

“And another person also came.”

“Director Choi?”

“Yes? A, former research director Choi Yeongseong also came but not that person another...”

Iron Blood Guild and Choi Yeongseong.

Excluding those two was there another guest to visit?

While Han Seokjun and Jeong Soyeon were recalling several people the security continued words.

“Awakener Lee Gyuseong has come.”

“...Mr. Gyuseong now...?”

Due to Gyuseong who visited at a dumbfounded timing Han Seokjun and Jeong Soyeon were surprised.

“When did he come? And where did you guide?”

“Before Iron Blood Guild people came he arrived together with former research director Choi Yeongseong. For now guided to the reception room located on the top floor.”

“Good job.”

Rather it might be a well done matter.

Since representative Baek Taeseop who visited directly here because of the antidote if exchanging conversation with the person who made the antidote it would be convenient.

‘But a bit regrettable.’

Han Seokjun who wanted to place a bridge in the middle if possible. If directly confronting those two clearly representative Baek Taeseop of Iron Blood Guild would covet Gyuseong.

“Don’t tell me came to contract with us?”

Due to Jeong Soyeon’s mutter Han Seokjun’s brows furrowed deeper.

Iron Blood Guild was currently one of the two major mountains of the Republic of Korea together with Terror Guild. If such a guild unfolds a recruitment war set mind the troublesome one was Ara Hongryeon.

“Already might have met above.”

“No problem right?”

Between the two’s conversation the security stealthily intervened.

“Th, team leader Kang Hanul heard the news and went up first for reception.”

“...Not that good news.”

Kang Hanul reception?

Knowing his personality Han Seokjun and Jeong Soyeon’s expressions casually stiffened.

“Let’s go up quickly.”
