Hunters Keep Coming To My House - Chapter 33

Chapter 33

Tsk.

After finishing the call, Han Seung-hoo couldn’t help but put his hand on his forehead and laugh silently for a while.

“Seriously, how can this be?”

Whether it’s fearlessness, recklessness, or sheer strength.

Han Seung-hoo frowned for a moment with a chubby expression.

There was only one reason for the expression he made.

“Do you think this plan will succeed?”

Considering the plan just explained by Yeon-oh, it seemed difficult to succeed no matter how much one thought about it.

Her crazy plan was as follows:

? I’m going to shoot a video. From an angle that captures my yard, you know. There, I can plant flowers in the yard… or I can decorate a vegetable garden. But in return, make sure Arvani and the inside of the gate are captured in the video.

If that happens, people will surely discuss whether this video is real or fake.

Up to this point, Han Seung-hoo thought it was plausible. After all, no one had ever filmed inside the gate before.

But the fact that Yeon-oh had such an ability…

It was an ability that would astonish everyone in the world.

Moreover, the surprising part was still to come.

? But this is not enough to generate interest. It could be dismissed as a composite with just words. So, I hope you can just let your voice come out a little at the end of the video. Seung-hoo, since your voice is known to all Koreans. You’re so famous.

? And when the video gains some attention, I’ll upload a second video. It will contain a casual conversation about Han Seung-hoo’s ‘Janwol’ scout content.

From here, Han Seung-hoo began to open his mouth in amazement.

? Well, if you were the only one showing interest in me like this, I wouldn’t know… but it seems like Kang Yoon-soo is also interested in me. So, my story might have come up in ‘Janwol’… Well, it can’t be helped… But still, listen for now.

Although Yeon-oh’s cool laughter could be heard, Han Seung-hoo’s wide-open mouth remained closed.

Because what she said was true.

‘Janwol’ was currently indisputably the top guild in the guild rankings of South Korea. Of course, there was also ‘Overflow’ operated by Jung Tae-il, but it still had a strong sense of being an exclusive and elite place. Thanks to this, ‘Janwol’ gained a reputation as a guild that welcomed anyone with skill, regardless of their level.

So, the scouting by Han Seung-hoo, the guild master, for ‘Janwol,’ carried significant influence in society.

In other words,

? If it goes like this, the video will garner explosive attention. Not only among hunters but also among the general public. But there’s something important here. The crucial point is that I should not appear in the video, and it should be revealed that, due to some circumstances, I sadly cannot join ‘Janwol.’

At this point, Han Seung-hoo could understand what Yeon-oh wanted.

“Sis, do you want to get out of the government?”

? Yes. I ran into Mr. Kim Chok today, and it seems suspicious, you know. I don’t think I can retire just by submitting a resignation letter.

“So, this is why this plan is necessary.”

? Yes, well.

Han Seung-hoo nodded slowly. However, this plan had a fatal side effect.

“If this happens, your information will be exposed as well. Is that okay?”

? I’d rather become famous, the government won’t treat me lightly. If I, the protagonist of the video, am revealed, I’ll attract attention for a while, and how can I carry out espionage in front of those gazes?

After all, the government is different from a ‘guild.’

It was a valid point.

No matter how compelling the government might be, it was still just the government.

? In the minds of ordinary people who are not hunters, the idea of a public institution may run deeper. If public opinion arises that ‘Janwol’ is in trouble because the government won’t let a skilled person go, the government will have no choice.

They have to save face.

If there are no watchful eyes, one might be able to do whatever they want behind the scenes. But what if all eyes are on them?

“The government can’t do anything. Just like Yoon-soo pressured the government.”

? Yes, that’s right.

“Sister Yeon-oh, you’re more cunning than I thought.”

? If you want to survive, there’s no choice. It’s a survival instinct.

And thus, the last person needed for Yeon-oh’s crazy plan was filled. After carefully considering the plan, Han Seung-hoo thought through all possible scenarios in his mind and then shrugged.

“If that crazy plan succeeds, Brother Yoon-soo and I can handle it.”

No, Janwol will firmly support them afterward.

With that conclusion, Han Seung-hoo picked up his phone again and made a call somewhere. Right to the Janwol promotional team.

“Guild Master Han Seung-hoo here. By any chance, how much can our promotional team shake up the South Korean media?”

A sinister smile, reminiscent of Yeon-oh, was present on the face asking this question.

* * *

[Who is the protagonist in the video?]

[What are the circumstances preventing entry into ‘Janwol’?]

[Han Seung-hoo’s description of the ‘video protagonist’ was amazing! The scouting is always open!]

[Who is the owner of the hatchling, capturing the guild ‘Janwol’?]

“Hmm, is this satisfaction at this level…?”

Today, while reading internet articles, I blinked my eyes. Always seeing provocative titles made this feel like nothing more than baby food.

But it was the first time I had woven such an elaborate plot… I was most nervous about doing it secretly.

How much my body shook after the second video was uploaded.

“Wow, if this had failed… it would have been a big problem.”

I had already thought about the next steps. Well, bringing Arvani out and causing a scene? Or maybe the use of force…

Anyway, the plan was successful as expected.

Currently, the hottest topic being discussed was my video, and various media outlets were making efforts to contact me.

All these facts were just revealed to me by Han Seung-hoo.

“At this point, the government has no choice but to let me go.”

Considering the public opinion, most reactions hoped for a quick resolution to the situation so that I could go to ‘Janwol.’

So, if it’s said that the government is not letting me go ‘forcefully.’

“The effect will become even more dramatic.”

So, you know, after working so hard, why didn’t anyone tell me that my house would fall into the gate… It was frustrating.

This is more than an achievement, it’s a jackpot.

I smiled satisfactorily and slowly prepared for work. Considering it’s already 12 PM, it’s a bit of a late start, but I had no worries since I had taken a half-day off in advance.

This was also a half-day off that I could afford, as I had been glancing around to see how the government would react to me.

After the first video was uploaded, I worked hard.

And just in case of potential surveillance, I also moved to a suitable one-room apartment when leaving work. Pretending to open the entrance door, I mentally invoked the convenience of the ‘door to reality’ while thinking about ‘home.’

Ah, the suitable one-room apartment was provided by Kang Yoon-soo, who joined in with interest in this plan. So, I believe that within the limits of what I can do, I could perfectly deceive the government’s eyes.

“Now, the only thing left is…”

Is it just revealing that the protagonist in the video is me?

I pondered for a moment. According to the plan, I intended to leave about a day before disclosing my identity tomorrow.

But…

“Will the government stay silent?”

The government, now aware of this situation, wouldn’t stay silent. The reason for allowing about a day was also to prepare for how the government would react.

“…I don’t know what kind of reaction to expect.”

They couldn’t be sure that I was the protagonist of this video. But they could make educated guesses.

Kim Chok, the head, would likely know about my private meeting with Kang Yoon-soo.

“…We shouldn’t give them time. Instead of waiting to see how the government reacts, let’s push forward without giving them a chance.”

Yeah, there’s no need to give them time, right?

After slowly nodding my head, I sent a text to Han Seung-hoo. Asking him to come to the main entrance of the government building at 2 PM today.

Then, reporters and people who might expect Han Seung-hoo to go meet the protagonist of the video could follow him to the main entrance of the government building.

“So, quickly revealing that I am the protagonist of the video…”

I would immediately submit the prepared resignation letter.

Hmm, this should be a perfect scenario.

Dreaming of the sweet resignation that was about to happen, I opened the entrance door and stepped outside. What I saw was the entrance of the building I had diligently observed for the past week.

Could steps to work be this light?

Even the building that looked like a distant fortress seemed dazzlingly beautiful today, like a sacred place.

With brisk steps, I reached the front of the government building.

And then.

“…?”

What? It’s not even 1 PM yet, why are there so many people?

Did I give the wrong time…?

Huh…?
