These Lunatics are Obsessed With Me

Chapter 35

ED: Cheerycheri

The fact that Sung Yoo-bin really liked Han Yi-jin meant that her scouting skills showed unprecedented power as a result of that liking. It is also proof that Hunter Han Yi-jin, who has an S-grade auxiliary skill, is strong.

“So everything he said at the press conference was true.”

The vice master, Song Yul, muttered quietly, and glanced at Song Cha-hyun. Song Cha-hyun’s expressionless face made it impossible to guess what she was thinking. However, Song Yul stayed by her side longer than anyone else and could guess Song Cha-hyun’s thoughts to some extent.

“Could it be that… you are trying to scout Hunter Han Yi-jin?”

“…”

As everyone knows, the Freya Guild is a guild that only accepts women as guild members. But that doesn’t mean there haven’t been male guest members. In the early days, when management was strict, they even signed mercenary contracts with male hunters to clear dungeons.

However, after recruiting Sung Yoo-bin and other key members of the Valkyrie combat unit, they stopped signing mercenary contracts. In fact, most of the current members of Valkyrie have never entered a dungeon with a man.

If they brought Hunter Han Yi-jin over with a mercenary contract, they had no idea what kind of mess he would cause. The fact that only women were accepted as guild members did not mean that the guild itself was a non-male zone, but Song Yul had a strong position of maintaining order in the guild as vice master.

“What if we don’t? Can we clear the next Sæ dungeon on our own?”

“…”

“…”

Unlike other dungeons, the Sæ dungeon was a dungeon that opened in the middle of the sea. The gate is known to open on the sea of ​​Incheon, but it is such a special place that the dungeon opens only once every few months.

Moreover, the rating changed every time the dungeon was opened. Not long ago, the rating had risen to the point where the dungeon abnormalities overlapped, making it nearly impossible for Valkyrie members to clear it.

The estimated rating when the dungeon was opened before was S-rank. If things get worse, it could be close to the SS-rank dungeon that Kang Yoo-hyun and Han Yi-jin cleared. If the next Sæ dungeon opened again, no one could predict how drastic the rating change would be.

“It would be impossible…”

“However, will Park Yoon-sung hand over Hunter Han Yi-jin?”

Shortly after the press conference, there were countless articles claiming that Hunter Han Yi-jin had signed a contract with the Odin Guild. It was unknown whether it was a formal guild member contract or a mercenary contract, but it seemed true that Han Yi-jin had entrusted himself to the Odin Guild.

There was no way a competent person like Park Yoon-sung would let go of a rare S-grade auxiliary skill. As a hunter in the world’s top ranks, he is not only strong but also has a cunning side that is incredible at calculations. On the other hand, Song Cha-hyun’s strength came from rule of thumb.

“So we have to make a deal.”

Sæ was a special dungeon, so the compensation had to be exceptional. There were so many rare items in the dungeon that even Park Yoon-sung could not refuse. The Sæ dungeon bidding will be fierce. Perhaps Park Yoon-sung would not be able to refuse.

“And I’ll check it for sure. The ability of an S-grade auxiliary skill…”

Song Cha-hyun’s eyes shone sharply as she muttered with a smile. The other guilds were still wary of the emergence of an uncertain S-grade auxiliary skill. However, if he played an active role in the Sæ dungeon, the fight to recruit Han Yi-jin would begin in earnest.

What will Park Yoon-sung do then?

And the Laufey Guild…

Song Cha-hyun’s face became gloomy as she recalled Laufey’s guildmaster for a moment. Song Yul looked at Song Cha-hyun with concern.

“Unnie, are you okay?”

“… I’m okay.”

Song Cha-hyun nodded, trying her best to smile.

Sooner or later, the large guilds would make their move.

Song Cha-hyun stared ahead with sunken eyes.

After leaving the accommodation, Park Yoon-sung headed to his office.

He was a little worried, but the accommodation problem seemed to have been resolved. Park Yoon-sung who sighed, looked at Yeon Seung-won who had just entered the room while looking at the documents.

“What did you find out?”

“…”

Yeon Seung-won shook his head quietly.

Park Yoon-sung, who put down the documents, groaned with a doubtful face.

“Hmm.”

There must be someone helping Han Yi-jin. But they can’t even be tracked.

“Is this possible?”

“I’m sorry.”

Park Yoon-sung waved his hand at Yeon Seung-won, who bowed his head.

“No, it’s not your fault, there’s no need to apologise.”

The temporary accommodation where Han Yi-jin is staying had CCTV installed everywhere. Han Yi-jin, who had indeed been in the temporary accommodation until morning, spoke to someone on the phone and immediately disappeared.

Teleportation items were rare and had unstable performances, so they weren’t well distributed unless they were of high grade. Therefore, the teleportation item that Han Yi-jin used had to be at least A-grade or higher, but it wasn’t an item that could be supplied to him with the ability of the Loki guild.

Moreover, there was Han Yi-jin’s mobile phone. The Odin Guild’s Hackers had tried various wiretapping attempts, but none have ever succeeded. They couldn’t even find out who the caller was or where he was.

Fortunately, Han Yi-jin’s disappearance was discovered by the CCTV on the street and Kang Soo-hyun’s tracking skills, but the fact that the unknown person helped Han Yi-jin made Park Yoon-sung upset.

“Ah, perhaps Hunter Han Yi-jin is related to the Laufey Guild.”

Yeon Seung-won spoke carefully. The fact that it couldn’t be tracked by the Odin Guild made it a high possibility that the Laufey Guild interfered and was involved with Han Yi-jin.

But if that was the case, it would mean that everything Han Yi-jin said before was a lie. However, according to Park Yoon-sung’s skill, Han Yi-jin had never lied during the time he spoke to him.

“It’s not Laufey.”

“Then…”

“Come to think of it, Han Yi-jin’s summon was an S-class.”

A dragon summoned with a strange name, Yong-sik.

“No… Is it above S-Class?”

He had yet to do a detailed appraisal, but when Park Yoon-sung applied his appraisal skills on Yong-sik, he didn’t get the proper information. The system’s information on Yong-sik might be unstable because Yong-sik had just hatched. But if that wasn’t the case, it meant that the dragon summoned by Han Yi-jin was of S-Class or higher.

In any case, to hatch summoned beast that is ranked S-class or higher, a incubator of at least an S-grade or higher is required. Of course, that was also something that Han Yi-jin alone could not obtain with his ability.

Someone who is able to provide instant teleportation items of A-grade or higher and hatching items of S-grade or higher. In addition, that person has a system that makes it so they cannot be wiretapped or tracked.

Park Yoon-sung, who was frowning, said someone’s name in a small voice.

“….Sim Dante?”

“Yes?”

Regin Guild’s guildmaster and an S-class item maker. It was possible with his ability. However, perhaps because he was an unpredictable person, even Yeon Seung-won’s mouth opened stupidly.

“However, the Regin Guild has never taken action before.”

“That’s right.”

The Regin Guild’s Guildmaster, Sim Dante, was a terrible egotist. Originally a scientist majoring in mechanical engineering, he treated the people around him like they were insignificant bugs and was also a mad scientist who could only see such bugs as experimental subjects.

Nevertheless, the items he made had excellent performance, and the items Sim Dante threw away after losing interest usually cost hundreds of millions of won at the auction house. Some of the things were even of better quality than items obtained from the dungeons, so there was no doubt about his ability.

Even Kang Yoo-hyun, who was extremely indifferent to many things, was interested in Sim Dante’s items. Park Yoon-sung’s eyes narrowed.

“Why is Sim Dante helping Han Yi-jin?”

Park Yoon-sung was frustrated because he couldn’t understand the reason at all. If that extremely selfish scientist helped Han Yi-jin, there must be a good reason for that. However, no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn’t find any connection between the two. There was no way Sim Dante would be interested in Han Yi-jin’s S-grade auxiliary skill. He was a man who would never go into a dungeon.

“What is he up to?”

Park Yoon-sung, who frowned, murmured quietly. 

Han Yi-jin must be completely under his control. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to properly respond to unexpected events that may occur in the future.

“Look into Sim Dante’s recent activities.”

“Yes, guildmaster.”

Although Sim Dante was a person who hid his information thoroughly, there would definitely be loopholes that would be exposed.

Yeon Seung-won, who lowered his head and answered, immediately opened his mouth carefully again.

“And… about the younger brother of Hunter Han Yi-jin, Mr. Han Do-gyul.”

“Didn’t you say you found him and that he has been placed under our protection?”

“Yes, but there’s something that the guildmaster needs to know.”

Yeon Seung-won handed a small file to Park Yoon-sung. Park Yoon-sung received the document file with a curious look.

“Han Do-gyul’s doctor was a specialist whose specialty had nothing to do with his rare disease.”

“That’s what Jang Tae-san would do.”

Jang Tae-san must have left the child unattended without proper treatment. What treatment? He must have deceived Han Yi-jin with clever words and exploited him. It was obvious without looking at it.

“But what’s wrong with it?”

“Actually… there was something strange in the doctor’s note, so I inquired about it at the Awakening Center just in case.”

“…!”

“We haven’t received the exact results from the centre yet. First of all, it seems certain that Mr. Han Do Gyul is an awakened person.”

“What’s his estimated rank…?”

Estimated S-class or higher. He is a mental hunter.
