Episode 34

34. What would you put in the pocket of someone who has nothing?

Gongduri’s, famous for being the house with the loudest decibels in Sangdo-dong, started the morning with the loud voice of Mrs. Kim, who is trying to break the record again today.

“Gongduri! Where are you going this early in the morning?!”

“Where are you going? I’m moving. I was told to leave the house yesterday.”

“What are you talking about wiping dog shit? I was telling you to go out and do something.”

“I got a job.”

Mrs. Kim opened her eyes wide and clung to her son. When she looked at him, she saw that he was now dressed in a suit. She asked suspiciously because he looked so unfamiliar.

“What about the job? Did you get scammed again?”

“Accommodation provided, 4 major insurances, good salary. Taesung Group. I heard you were scouted by a large company.”

“Oh my! What is this? Is it true, my son?”

“I just told you a little bit, but your speech is so different? Anyway, I’m in a hurry, so I’m going to go first. I’ll call a moving company later for the rest of the things.”

“Are you going out of the house?”

“It’s time to become independent.”

“Let’s talk about that later. Haha, my son. You should eat breakfast before you go.”

“There’s no time. I have to leave now if I don’t want to be late.”

“Yes. Our busy son. Come home for dinner. I’ll make something delicious.”

“Oh, dear. I have to stay there for a while. I probably won’t be able to come in. Well, I’ll be back.”

“Have a nice trip, son.”

Mrs. Kim waved her hand behind Gongduri, who opened the front door hurriedly and went out.

Gongduri was excited to go to work in Taesung. Although he was a top-tier security professional, his natural curiosity caused him to carelessly swing his keyboard, resulting in several incidents.

For socially isolated hackers, crime is the only way to make a living.

Fortunately, thanks to Kang Mu-hyeok, I was able to put food in my mouth.

I couldn’t help but feel deeply moved when I was given the chance to wear the badge of a large company.

‘Ah, I’m a big business person now.’

Gongduri set off to work with a much lighter step.

* * *

‘Miss, you said it was a big company?’

I was so happy that Kang Mu-hyeok made a spot for me in Taesung Group, so I came running.

The place I got a job was also a guild.

Well, Taesung Guild is also part of the group. But since they changed their guild name, I doubt they are affiliated with Taesung.

Gongduri looked at the people standing next to him and frowned once again.

“Kid, it’s been a while. Please don’t play around with the keyboard this time. You’ll get stabbed.”

“I didn’t know Team Leader Pyo would come. Haha… … .”

The person who was caught secretly opening confidential documents from the Titan Guild was Pyo Beom-hee.

A relationship where they are enemies and natural enemies at the same time.

Gongduri immediately averted his gaze and closed his eyes.

No matter how much he didn’t like it, there was no way a rabbit could look at a tiger.

I didn’t want to get tangled with the leopard print so I pretended not to know and turned around, and there was an unfamiliar face.

He was a two-meter tall man with a full beard on his face.

“Who is that hairy old man?”

“Support Team Leader Yeom Soo-hyung. You’ve probably never seen him before, since he’s always been stuck in the warehouse.”

The one who answered Gongduri’s question was An Ji-il, who happened to be entering the office.

When he confirmed that An Ji-il, who was in the same science department as Titan and had a lot in common with him as a non-hunter, Gong Du-ri shouted in joy.

“Brother Ji-il! Are you here too?”

“Why? Can’t I come?”

“That’s not it…. I don’t really like Director Kang.”

“Do you go to the guild to see people? You go to see work.”

“I came to see the money… … .”

While An Ji-il was greeting other people, Kang Mu-hyeok entered the office.

Joo Se-ah was next to him.

“Wow! Hyung. Give me, give me.”

“I know. Just stay still.”

An Ji-il criticized the noisy Gongduri.

Kang Mu-hyeok looked around at the people and opened his mouth.

“Welcome everyone to our Ironwill Guild. This is Guild Master Jusea.”

“Hello. This is Joo Se-ah. I am happy to be able to invite you to our guild through the recommendation of the leader, Kang Mu-hyeok. I look forward to your great activities. I ask for your continued support.”

Clap clap clap!

Gongduri, who had been clapping, looked embarrassed when he saw the others standing still and lowered his raised hand.

“There are still some people who haven’t joined yet because they are busy cleaning up, but we have filled the parts that are needed right away, so we will start working right away.”

Gong Du-ri, who was disappointed at having joined a guild that was not part of the Taesung Group, had hoped for a grand welcoming ceremony, but was upset when he heard that he would have to start working right away.

Kang Moo-hyuk grabbed each person one by one and told them what to do.

“Mr. Gong Du-ri will work as the situation room operator team leader.”

“Tea, team leader?”

“First, I’ll be in charge of system security. When I get up there, I’ll ask you to do a security check. Also, check the firewall. If there’s any leaks, please block them.”

Kang Mu-hyeok gave instructions to Gong Du-ri, who was dumbfounded by the unexpected hat. He nodded absentmindedly, but soon realized that the work he was given was difficult to handle alone, and raised his hand in a hurry.

“Wait a minute. You want me to do that alone?”

“Of course you can’t do it alone. There are people in the department, so hire them appropriately and use them. Since personnel management is also the team leader’s job, it would be good to get used to it in advance.”

“Tea, the team leader’s job… . Yes. That’s right. Haha… … .”

“Should I be in charge of warehouse C?”

When An Ji-il came forward and asked, Kang Mu-hyeok handed over a USB and said.

“Here is the plan to subdue monsters that will interfere with the guild relocation. Please take a look and select the equipment that meets my requirements. Due to the size of the warehouse, I cannot move everything right away, and I will take over the rest after the guild relocation.”

“Let me check.”

“I’m the management team, right?”

“Yes. Team Leader Pyo, I will introduce the team members separately. The management team is the team with the fewest resignations due to the guild relocation, so it will be good to continue working together in the future.”

Kang Moo-hyuk looked at the last remaining hairy man. He was so big that his head almost touched the ceiling.

“Team Leader Yeom Soo-hyung will be in charge of the support team.”

“Is what you do the same as before?”

“yes.”

“Can people use it however they want?”

“Please don’t bully me.”

“Let’s try.”

* * *

After assigning the new recruits to each department, Kang Moo-hyuk went up to the guild leader’s office. It was because of Joo Se-ah’s call.

She immediately let her curiosity run wild as soon as Kang Mu-hyeok came in.

“Who was that bearded guy earlier?”

“This is Team Leader Yeom Soo-hyung.”

“You know I didn’t ask for your name.”

“I was a former hunter.”

“Right? You’re a Hunter, right? I thought I was seeing things wrong. But the support team? At first glance, you look like you could jump right into being the main tank for Guild A.”

It was natural for Joo Se Ah to be surprised.

The support team was colloquially called porters.

A team that is responsible for managing the warehouse and moving the luggage while taking care of hunting supplies.

Although the type of work they do is small, it is the team that requires the most effort, so not many people last long.

“It’s ridiculous that the Management Team Leader is a Hunter, but the Support Team Leader is a Hunter? And someone who doesn’t even look like he has a low rank? What a waste of manpower. It seems like Titan’s Hunters have rotted away.”

“Actually, Team Leader Yeom Soo-hyung is a B+ rank. He stopped hunting due to some circumstances. The reason I said earlier that I was a former hunter is because Team Leader Yeom’s hunter qualification has been revoked.”

“cancellation?”

“It’s a personal matter, so I can’t tell you anything about it.”

“No, I don’t necessarily need to know… But B+? Not A- or higher? That’s strange. That can’t be… Are my intuitions dead?”

Kang Moo-hyuk shut his mouth as he watched Joo Se-ah tilt her head.

Her senses weren’t dead.

‘Team Leader Yeom’s characteristics are a bit special.’

Just as Joo Sea had physical and magical defenses that surpassed her rank, Yeom Soo Hyung also had something special.

If there was one part that was strange about Joo Se Ah, Kang Moo Hyuk thought it would probably be that part.

“Have your questions been answered?”

“There’s nothing to be done about it. I don’t think you’ll tell me everything anyway. I just need to be a good worker.”

“There’s not much time left. This expedition will be fought with the highest rank hunters excluded as much as possible, so please put more effort into training the hunters.”

Joo Se-ah asked, grabbing Kang Mu-hyeok who was standing up from his seat.

“But are you really only going to go to B rank or lower?”

“This is an operation aimed at improving overall skills for the future. Unless a major risk factor occurs, we will attack with thorough party play.”

“But I thought it would be better for me to step forward and focus on resolving the issue quickly and establishing the guild.”

“If it is possible for the guild leader to cover the entire Bukpocheon area 24 hours a day, then it is okay to do so.”

“I understand. What do you mean? I was a little worried, so I asked.”

Kang Moo-hyuk asked back at Joo Se-ah who seemed troubled.

“Is it that bad?”

“No, it’s not that it’s bad… I just got a little worried after seeing our members while watching the Slayer Guild… … .”

“Compared to the Tier Guilds, even A-rank is inferior.”

“I’m worried because goblins have such a large level difference. Looking at the data, it seems like they’re a large tribe that’s maintained their village for quite a long time. I think there must be quite a few evolved ones.”

“There will probably be irregular ones too.”

“That’s what I’m saying. I don’t know what kind of variant that will come out.”

Goblins were so prolific that each generation lasted only a few months.

If there is an abundance of food, they can quickly grow to hundreds or thousands.

No matter how large the special activity area is, there are limits to its scale, but since it is a tribe that has been around for over 10 years, its overall level would have risen over several dozen generations.

It was expected that among them there would be exceptional mutant monsters called Irregulars.

Kang Moo-hyuk was also considering that part.

“We will prepare, but some sacrifices may be unavoidable.”

Joo Seah focused on the word ‘preparation’ rather than the word ‘sacrifice.’

As his history on Titan shows, Kang Moo-hyuk was a trustworthy person when it came to hunting.

“Then, I will do my best to prepare.”

* * *

As time passed,

Kang Mu-hyeok stopped by his officetel for a moment the day before the operation began.

I came to get a change of clothes because I’ve been staying in the guild duty room for a while.

In addition, I had to supplement with injections and medicine to relieve my mana addiction.

After a quick shower and before packing up his bags and leaving, Kang Moo-hyuk used a laser syringe on his arm that doesn’t require a needle.

Although they were more expensive and harder to obtain than regular syringes, they were easy to use and left no needle marks, so they were kept in large quantities.

The injection was a drug administered once every two weeks, but it did not completely suppress the disease.

If a large amount of gate mana was drained due to an outbreak like last time, you had to immediately inject one more to survive.

As the medicine took effect, I felt a slight dizziness. I felt like I was motion sick, but it gradually went away as I sat down with my eyes closed.

“Whew, even though I don’t feel so good, I’m still thankful that it didn’t get any worse.”

Kang Mu-hyeok, who shook off his motion sickness and muttered to himself, packed his bags and came down to the parking lot.

‘This is it. Waiting in the parking lot is a cliche these days.’

Kang Moo-hyuk checked the men blocking his path. They didn’t seem hostile. They were keeping their distance and maintaining a polite attitude, as if they had something to do.

“The chairman wants to see you.”

“Mr. Chairman?”

At this point, when it comes to the chairman, only one person comes to mind.

‘Tae Jin-seong, Chairman of Taesung Group.’

Actually, ‘this point’ was really annoying.

It was quiet when the guild name was changed and when the previous announcement was made.

You called me just as I was about to go to Pocheon.

‘In some ways, you could say that this is my most vulnerable moment.’

Could this be the answer of the head of a conglomerate that leads one axis of the national economy?

If it wasn’t intentional, it would have been a more annoying old man.

‘I expected we would meet someday anyway… … .’

Because Chairman Tae Jin-seong is more interested in Joo Se-ah Gil-ma, who can be called ashes rather than the offering.

The fate of the guild, which would determine her future, was left to the new leader, so there was no way the chairman would not be interested.

Since it was a call that could neither be avoided nor avoided, I thought this would be a chance to catch a glimpse of what the Chairman was thinking.

“Please guide me.”

* * *

The first impression Kang Mu-hyeok got from the chairman he met was,

‘They look alike.’

It was.

Her stubborn eyes were exactly like Joo Se Ah’s.

The power of genes that cannot be hidden.

I had no feelings when I entered the neighborhood where only the richest people in Korea live, but I was impressed in a useless place.

“Chief Kang Mu-hyeok,”

The lips, which had been tightly shut as stubbornly as the eyes, opened.

Kang Moo-hyuk answered, thinking it was fortunate that Joo Se-ah didn’t resemble him.

“yes.”

“When I look at it, they say there are lines everywhere?”

Although it was a common expression, Kang Moo-hyuk was inwardly nervous.

‘Perhaps you mean meeting your own sons? But you say ‘see’ rather than ‘hear’. Does that mean you take care of the group yourself?’

The confidence that he had complete control over the group was evident in the expressions that were subtly revealed.

If you try to hide it or lie, it could be messed up from the start.

Although he had not intended to do so in the first place, Kang Mu-hyeok answered even more cautiously.

“We are not so rich that we can reject an outstretched hand. If you throw cold rice at us when we are hungry, we should be grateful.”

“Well, that’s a good attitude. If someone who doesn’t have any pride tries to take care of it, it’s only hurting themselves.”

“That’s right. Those who don’t have money should always keep their pockets open.”

Although it was a metaphor for ignoring the opponent, Kang Mu-hyeok responded nonchalantly.

At that sight, Tae Jin-seong’s eyebrows furrowed sharply. One eye closed slightly and he looked closely at Kang Mu-hyeok.

Is it really that unpleasant for someone to look at another person? It was as if they were judging a product.

Kang Mu-hyeok calmly looked at Tae Jin-seong’s gaze and asked back.

“What would you give to someone who has nothing, Mr. Chairman?”
