The Spoon Villain Is Obsessed with the Hero Again Today - Chapter 106



Unheard-of Interns (2)

The scuffle was brief. Park Won-hyuk soon sat in his grand executive chair and greeted us warmly.

“Anyway, welcome to Geumseonggak.”

Geumseonggak. As expected of a large corporation, the building was extraordinary.

It wasn’t just the CEO’s office that was luxurious. The underground parking lot was vast. Moreover, the ladies at the information desk on the first floor were very kind.

No doubt, the restrooms would be impeccably clean, unlike those of small companies.

“Hmm. There are quite a few familiar faces. Not to mention that spoon ghost. Rashid, I saw you during the last physical test, right?”

“Oh.”

“Yeah. How’s school? Are you enjoying it?”

Having turned down Geumseonggak’s offer to join, Rashid chose Hanyul Military Academy. Park Won-hyuk asked Rashid if he was satisfied with his current life.

And Rashid replied.

“Oh.”

“Glad to hear you’re satisfied.”

This time, Park Won-hyuk turned his gaze to Kang Tae-hoon.

“Wow. I didn’t expect the young master of Kangyoon Group to come. But are you sure? Our guild can be quite tough.”

“Who are you calling a kid? Do you want to die, old man? Should I fold your back like that chair you’re sitting on?”

“Hehe. Just as the rumors say, you have quite the nasty personality. Yeah, interns should have that kind of sharpness. Kids these days are too bland, it’s no fun at all.”

Then, Park Won-hyuk looked at Yoo Ji-woo.

“So, you’re Yoo Ji-woo. I’ve heard about you. They say it’s been a while since a talent worth using appeared in the technical department.”

“Yeah.”

“By the way, our guild is also recruiting technical staff, so feel free to contact us after you graduate. With your skills, you can join without an interview.”

“How about the pay? Is it good?”

“Is it just the pay? We’ll even provide you with a personal lab.”

“Wow!”

Yoo Ji-woo’s eyes sparkled as he asked us.

“Should I just drop out now? Getting a job right away doesn’t seem too bad.”

But Park Won-hyuk, looking horrified, stopped Yoo Ji-woo.

“Wait! Do you want to get fined again? If we get fined again this time, we’re in big trouble! So, get a job after you graduate. Okay?”

“Ugh. Graduation is still a long way off.”

Yoo Ji-woo pouted in disappointment.

Lastly, Park Won-hyuk looked at Kim Han-bit.

“You were the operator back then, right?”

“Yes, sir!”

“You’re quite brave. It wouldn’t have been easy to change tactics against the orders of the chief coordinator.”

“Well… actually, that was…”

Kim Han-bit glanced at me. During the battle with Marbas, I was the one who designed the new tactics.

But Park Won-hyuk waved his hand dismissively.

“Enough. What did that spoon ghost do anyway? You were the one who led the charge back then, weren’t you?”

“Yes…”

“Oh, by the way. Did you see it on your way up? The situation room on the first floor of our building.”

Kim Han-bit’s eyes widened.

“Oh! I think I saw it briefly!”

“If you’re interested, feel free to drop by anytime. We replaced all the equipment with the latest models this quarter. It’s worth seeing.”

“Yes, sir!”

After exchanging greetings with each person, Park Won-hyuk stood up from his seat.

At that moment, I raised my hand.

“I am still here, though.”

“Well, now that the personal interviews are roughly over, shall we talk about work?”

“…”

I am being completely ignored. He still seems quite upset about the fine.

For an older man, he sure is narrow-minded.

“Hayul.”

“Yes, sir.”

Park Won-hyuk called his secretary, Park Hayul. Park Hayul operated the remote control to lower the window blinds.

In an instant, the office became dark.

Beep─!

Then, a screen on the office wall was activated. The screen showed a map.

Park Won-hyuk approached the screen and explained to us.

“Sorry to ask this on your first day as interns, but I need you to go on a business trip.”

“A business trip? Where to?”

“Gangwon Province.”

Park Won-hyuk pointed somewhere on the map. It was the area around Seoraksan Mountain.

“What? A hike on the first day? Is this for real?”

Kang Tae-hoon frowned. He wasn’t the only one. Everyone had similar reactions.

A business trip to a mountainous area on the first day. It was naturally unwelcome.

“It’s not a hike. Actually, there’s been some trouble at the Gangwon branch of Geumseonggak.”

We are currently at the Seoul headquarters of Geumseonggak. For reference, large guilds like Geumseonggak have branches all over the country.

“What are we supposed to do at the Gangwon branch?”

I asked. This was our first assignment. I wanted to know the details and objectives of the mission.

“Hmm.”

But Park Won-hyuk didn’t give a clear answer.

He just smiled.

“You’ll find out when you get there.”

“Ugh… Long drives are really tiring…”

To think I’d have to drive all the way to Gangwon Province on the first day of the assignment. Kim Han-bit got out of the car and stretched lightly.

“….”

Meanwhile, the rest of us, including myself, had no intention of getting out of the car. That’s because we were all in dreamland.

This also meant that Kim Han-bit’s driving skills were quite comfortable.

“Wake up already…!”

At Kim Han-bit’s shout, everyone opened their eyes. One by one, they started getting out of the car.

“Ugh, damn it! Why is it so hot? Wasn’t Gangwon-do supposed to be cool?”

“Where is it cool in the middle of a summer day? It’s all the same.”

Under the strong sunlight, Kang Tae-hoon frowned. Yoo Ji-woo had a portable air conditioner in hand, prepared for this moment.

“Hey, kid. That looks cool. Let me have it.”

“No. This is mine.”

“Just lend it to me for a bit.”

After a long drive, we arrived in Gangwon-do. Specifically, in front of the building of Geumseonggak’s Gangwon branch.

The building itself was modern, but due to long neglect, the surroundings were full of green weeds and household trash.

─Meow!

So it was easy to see stray cats and bugs roaming around.

“Let’s go inside first.”

“Huh? Can we just go in? Don’t we need to write our names on the visitor list?”

Kim Han-bit asked if we needed to fill out a visitor list before entering the building.

“Are you saying that after seeing this?”

I gestured towards the security booth installed in front of the building. There was no one inside. The power to the vehicle control system was also off.

It seemed there was no access control.

“What the heck. Isn’t this Geumseonggak? Why is the security so lax? It’s completely different from the headquarters.”

Everyone had the same thought as Kang Tae-hoon. It was too shabby to be called the famous Geumseonggak.

“It’s locked.”

Moreover, the door to enter the building was also blocked. The sensor was working normally, but the automatic door remained closed.

“There’s a call bell here.”

Yoo Ji-woo pressed the call bell installed next to the door.

“….”

But even after pressing the call bell, there was no response from inside. No one came out. There was no sign of life.

“Hmm… the phone isn’t working either.”

Meanwhile, Hanbit Kim tried calling the Gangwon branch. It was no use.

“Is there anyone there or what? What kind of guild is this? And they still get paid? Wow, the world has really improved.”

“Oh.”

Rashid nodded in agreement with Taehun Kang’s scolding.

It’s reaching the limit. It’s already unbearably hot, and we can’t stay outside any longer. I looked up at the top floor of the building.

“Let’s go up and check. See if there’s really anyone there.”

“What? How? Are we going to break down the door?”

“There’s no need for that. I have this.”

I pulled out a spoon in front of everyone.

*

“What should we do? I’ve got too high a hand.”

This is the Gangwon branch of the Geumseonggak Guild, specifically the branch manager’s office on the top floor.

A gambling game was in full swing in the branch manager’s office. Not only members of the Geumseonggak Guild but also people from other guilds had come after hearing rumors.

“Hehe. Do you see this beautifully blooming plum blossom? It’s a pair of aces! I’m taking this round.”

“Wait.”

The table with the highest stakes. A heavy hand appeared over it. It was Shim Junyong, the branch manager of the Gangwon branch.

Shim Junyong showed his yellow teeth to the opponent trying to take the money.

“You’re going to take this round with just a pair of aces? Team leader, you’re trying to take it too easily. It’s already summer, you should be careful. You’ll get in trouble.”

“Uh… What do you mean…?”

“I have a pair of sixes.”

Shim Junyong laid his cards on the table. It was June, with butterflies and blue flowers dancing over the red flowers.

“Do you see how beautiful this peony is? It’s completely different from the plum blossom. It’s so full that it calls for money.”

“A pair of sixes…”

“I’m taking this round.”

Shim Junyong reached out his large hand and swept the chips piled in the center. The opponent could only watch with their mouth wide open.

“Come on, team leader, don’t be too upset. You can win next time, right? This isn’t the only round.”

Shuffle, shuffle, shuffle.

Shim Junyong quickly shuffled the cards for the next round. Despite his large hands, his movements were surprisingly delicate.

Tap, tap─

Tap, tap, tap─

“Huh…?”

In the midst of shuffling the cards excitedly. There was a sound from somewhere. It was coming from the window. Something was tapping on the window.

“Is it a bird?”

The opponent also noticed the sound and looked towards the window.

Tap tap─

Tap tap tap─

“Hold on a moment, Team Leader. I’ll chase it away quickly.”

Shim Jun-yong put down his cards and stood up.

In this gambling den, one must focus not only with their eyes but also with their ears. What you see is not everything. Sound is also very important.

Therefore, the sound that is heard now is extremely annoying.

Shim Jun-yong pulled back the curtains covering the window.

“Ah, damn it…!”

Then he fell on his butt. He was startled by what he saw outside the window.

It wasn’t a bird, but a person flying around.

“What the hell! That guy is riding a spoon!”
