Chapter 426
Episode 426
Delta Tower 1st floor.
Survivors were returning one by one to the base camp where the City Guard formed a siege.
“For now, send the unconscious people to the emergency treatment room! Hunters with mana rehabilitation capsules! Oh, and any death reports?”
“There is not a single person among the missing persons yet!”
“Huh… Maybe I should say it’s fortunate that I’m a Banshee.”
As busy as the paramedics who are moving to treat the survivors, Kim Jin-cheol went around looking for someone anxiously.
“Please… I was told they were here…”
As soon as the story of the survivors returning to the base camp came out, Kim Jin-cheol ran anxiously. As the situation was, it was impossible for the general public to enter, but I even asked a high-ranking person in City Guard.
He was so desperate.
“CEO! Here it is!”
Kim Jin-chul turned his head to the secretary’s voice.
“Ah ah…”
Jincheol Kim sighed. The moment when the gate of the Delta Tower, which was an ordinary department store in the city, opened and the only daughter went missing, that day. From that very day on, there was not a single day that Kim Jin-cheol did not have nightmares.
“Jinha!”
“Dad…”
The reunion was so emotional that even the blunt attendant’s secretary stole tears.
“Listening to the story of the scene, the majority of Banshee go crazy when they hear the incantation… They said that having a broken hearing aid actually helped them survive.”
“Heaven helped. The lady is said to be in relatively good condition, so we were able to visit her.”
At the words of the dispatched doctor and the secretary who was relieved, Kim Jin-cheol checked his daughter’s ears. Kim Jin-ha was wearing a new hearing aid, not the one she was wearing before.
“That’s a good thing! Is there any uncomfortable place?”
“huh! are you okay! Dad?”
Even in this situation, Kim Jin-cheol shed tears of emotion when he saw a good daughter who thought of her father first.
“Then, I need to do a mental evaluation of the patient, so I’ll move for a while.”
“Among monsters, Banshee is an essential procedure. We ask for your understanding.”
Kim Jin-cheol is shocked when the doctors ask for permission to take Kim Jin-ha away! He bowed his head and cried loudly.
“I wish you well! If there is anything you need during the appraisal, please let me know!”
“dad! It’s really embarrassing.”
Kim Jin-ha waved a white hand and left, as if seeing his father like that was interesting. Kim Jin-chul waved his hand for a long time until he couldn’t see the back of his daughter, and then let out a sigh of relief.
“…that’s good.”
“I felt relieved when I saw him skipping meals by the CEO’s side… Thank you so much for your hard work.”
“Who did you say was the Hunter who entered the Delta Tower just now?”
“Yura, a 6th-class hunter. And I am a student named Yuseong Shin.”
“Both are familiar names.”
“Yura is a very famous hunter in this area. Did the CEO even know the name of the rookie?”
Hunter Bion was a company that supplied large quantities of hunter supplies and munitions. So most of my connections are related to guild masters or city guards.
There was no interest or relationship with rookies who were just starting to rise. Of course, the fact that Kim Jin-cheol knew Shin Yoo-seong’s name wasn’t because of Hunter-related reasons.
“Because rumors have already spread on our side. There are rumors that the man chosen by the young lady of Shinsung Group is Shin Yoo-seong’s student.”
“yes? If it’s Shinsung Group, are you Kim Eun-ah by any chance?”
“Perhaps for sure. There are rumors that he will be made the next president of the association, and there is also a situation where the president is directly moving for Shin Yoo-seong.”
“It’s complicated. It’s a meeting between the political world and the hunter world…”
Apparently, the attendant’s secretary interpreted Kim Jin-cheol’s story very politically.
“…So, normally, I would have thought about punching him in the face, but I don’t feel like it this time. Please transfer everything prepared this time to the Forest of Greenery.”
“yes. I will add the money for the destruction fund to be sent to Myeongwol and the request money that I put on the official document.”
“No, I saved my daughter’s life, but that penny is not enough. Add one more zero. Even if the other person was Myongwol anyway, I was thinking of giving it to them separately if only my child was safe.”
What Jincheol Kim offered was literally jaw-dropping amounts. Basically, considering that the hunters’ commission itself was high, 10 times the basic salary was beyond common sense.
But considering who they saved, it was understandable.
The one imprisoned in the Delta Tower was the only daughter of Kim Jin-cheol, the CEO of Hunter Bayon, a leading company.
“Even if it seems excessive, am I not an entrepreneur with nothing but money? But I don’t want to become a person who obsesses over petty money for my benefactor.”
“…As expected, CEO. The bowls are different. We will take care of it as you said right away.”
Of course, this was not the end of Kim Jin-cheol’s kindness toward his benefactor. Kim Jin-cheol was a person who valued practical actions more than 100 thanks.
‘Money is money, but it would be nice to show my capabilities here.’
Without hesitation, Kim Jin-cheol called Jin Seong-ah, a member of Brilliant’s guild.
“Long time no see. Jin Seong-ah.”
– Yes, Mr. Representative! No, he gave me a direct call like this…
It was natural for Jin Seong-ah to be embarrassed. All contracts related to Hunter Bayon were handled by executives. It was unprecedented, at least in Brilliant, for a representative to make a phone call like this.
The case where the representative of Hunter Bayon directly stepped forward was only in guilds with a large ‘weight class’, such as Shin-oh, Yu-su, Myeong-wol, Heuk-san, and Jin-san.
– Is it because of the new product this time?
“you’re right. This contract is because I want to sign a contract with the other side instead of the down payment.”
– yes! tell me anything!
Jin Seong-ah, who was quick-witted, seemed to smell some kind of money in Kim Jin-cheol’s behavior.
“Can I accept part of the down payment as manpower support? Instead of money, Brilliant is in the form of supporting Hunters in the Forest of Greenery.”
The guild was an interest group that dispatched hunters in exchange for money.
As long as the manpower support was properly measured, there was no reason for Jin Seong-ah to refuse.
Rather, considering that there were cases where some Hunters who were playing without a request were dispatched for a reasonable price, this was an unconditionally profitable contract.
-sure! It’s something the representative is asking for, so I’ll try my hand without reporting it!
After the phone call ended, Jincheol Kim sat down at his desk and clasped his hands. Until now, I had never changed a familiar business partner. In any case, most of the hunter world had a down payment similar to performance.
‘I’ve driven it until now. I’ll have to change my mind.’
Kim Jin-cheol suffered greatly from Myeongwol because of this incident. Since his daughter is in danger, he ordered hunters to be sent to Delta Tower immediately, but Myeongwol sent third-class hunters.
Considering that the level of difficulty was level 3 at the time of the first measurement of the Delta Tower, it wasn’t that wrong.
However, the story changed when the Banshee Queen eventually appeared from the upper floors. The reset difficulty jumped from level 3 to level 5, and in the end, Myeongwol failed to save Kim Jin-ha.
It was a disaster that would not have happened if Kim Jin-cheol had sent reliable people from the beginning as he bet a huge commission.
So Jincheol Kim had to set an example. He had to show what would happen if he couldn’t handle his request correctly.
‘Because of this incident, if I change my business partner, the forest of greenery would be good as expected.’

Life is free.
Roger rolled on the floor while tightly holding the mana stone that was over a meter long. Even though he was a guild master, there was nothing he could do because he was ill.
Lying around under the guise of rehabilitation is the joy of life.
“Where doesn’t money fall from the sky?”
While Roger was wasting time talking nonsense like this, the secretary, who was busy with work, opened the door with a puzzled face.
“Lo Roger Niyim-!”
“okay. Hearing the voice, it must be Philip. Is there really a kid in the world who makes a fuss like you? If it’s not a big deal again… I’ll just kill you today.”
But Roger, who was still rolling around the room, didn’t even look at Philip. This wasn’t the first time Philip had made a fuss.
“What are you saying when you don’t even have mana! No really, this time it’s real!”
But this time, at Philip’s voice, which seemed so unfair, Roger woke up with a troubled face.
“OK. Let’s see. Come on. Come here and explain, if it’s nothing special, I’ll put you to sleep with my own hands.”
The secretary, Philip, sighed as if he couldn’t understand, and showed a hologram instead of an answer.
Roger counted with an insensitive face. After making such a fuss over the money he had barely received, he thought he would have to change the position of Philip’s left and right feet.
“huh?”
However, Roger soon raised doubts about his expression.
“Are you sure you didn’t make a mistake? One more zero than I thought?”
“I called and checked. They say there is no problem.”
“No, is this too big?”
“This is a reward from the representative of Hunter Baion for saving his daughter…”
“Really? No, I know the barrel is big, but 10 times.”
“For individual requests, the association does not charge a fee. I’ll be left with a lot No worries for a while!”
Rosa nodded, saying that there is such a thing as luck.
“Shin Yuseong seems to be a lucky guy as well. Are you lucky enough to be with him? Look at how he survived even though his stomach was pierced.”
Roger was satisfied with Shin Yoo-sung, not complimenting him.
“In a way, I am still an outsider. Give Shin Yoo-seong’s share hotly. Of course, Yura took off everything.”
Looking at it this way, Shin Yoo-seong was also the savior who came to save the green forest that was facing a financial crisis.
‘And I heard that there are many colleagues. I can’t wait to see how strong they will be.’
Roger was not the type to turn down such an opportunity.
As a Five Star, I was going to use everything that was available to confirm the qualities of Shin Yoo-seong. That’s what Roger thinks is a win-win strategy.
‘Of course, I don’t think my decision will change the outcome.’
Even if there are rumors that Shinsung Group will look after him, there are already two Five Stars on Shin Kang-yoon’s side. The only thing that can change that unfavorable victory or defeat is Shin Yoo-seong’s ability.
The moment Roger thought that he would thoroughly examine Shin Yoo-seong’s abilities in neutral.
[Brilliant (cheating)]
[Requesting a call…]
Jin Seong-ah of Brilliant contacted Roger directly.
“Why is Brilliant calling all of a sudden? When I asked to borrow some people for this year, they all refused without hesitation.”
There was no particular bad relationship between the Forest of Greenery and Brilliant. It was all that Roger unilaterally requested support and was unilaterally rejected.
If it had been before, he could have helped, but when Roger was injured and the green forest declined, Brilliant felt that there was no need to form a close relationship with Roger.
– hello?
“We have nothing more to say. What is it?”
-Roja-sama is very talented. Should I say I’m lucky?
“Did you call to make a fuss? Are the 5th graders trying to match me? Kill them as soon as mana is restored?”
– Oh no! Isn’t that what you talked about with the representative of Hunter Baion?
“What story?”
– You spent a lot of money this time. You asked for 10 people, right? That’s 3 months too.
“huh?”
– I thought you asked for it, but I guess you really didn’t know? I’ll send you a list soon, so check it out.
Roger sat down in a chair with a bewildered face at the tremendous stories that passed like a storm. I just thought I was lucky, but this was a different weight class.
“…Things that were not resolved are resolved in one day after he comes.”
Apparently, if there is such a thing as a goddess of fate, it seems that she really likes Shin Yoo-seong.
