86 – Containment (3)

“Shall we arrange a table for you?”

Eugene took out the business card he had received from Jang Si-hyeok.

“No, I don’t want to face unpleasant things.”

“Then what do you plan to do?”

I looked at Eugene quietly and said.

“Eugene, do you know any reporters?”

“There are a few.”

“Then contact me. It means holding an official press conference at Chaechae Entertainment.”

“… Suddenly?”

He nodded.

“I have to show my face to the public soon.”

Now is the best time when your bank account balance is drying up.

CFs and various events by promoting our guild more widely and giving it a familiar feel. What if you wiped out the monster subjugation?

‘There’s no business left like that.’

Also, take care of some rats.

It was a win-win.

“however. boss.”

Eugene called me with a trembling voice.

“why?”

“I have stage fright.”

He looked at Eugene as if he was dumbfounded.

“I’m not that trashy. Would you like me to do it for you?”

“… No?”

“Of course not… ”

When I thought about it, I was right.

Because recently, almost all the noodle restaurants were run by Eugene.

“Keuheum, anyway, I’ll do it, so you just have to keep your seat next to me.”

“Are you really okay? If you accidentally make a mistake in your speech in an official setting, it is an accident.”

“Yujin. will i buy it? do not worry.”

“… … .”

Eugene looks at me with unreliable eyes. I continued talking while scratching my head.

“do not worry. Because the press conference was like eating rice.”

In a previous life, of course.

Come to think of it, I think I was in a similar situation as I am now.

When he rose to the ranks of the best hunters soon after awakening his ability.

Other hunters tried to keep me in check.

‘At that time, I killed everyone.’

After that, I was rather busy watching myself, let alone checking.

However, this life is not a press conference as hunter Han Seong-hun.

A press conference to express the official position as Han Seong-hoon, CEO of Chae-chae Enter.

You shouldn’t use your abilities.

“The boss is really amazing.”

“what?”

“It may sound strange, but I read novels these days. It’s titled “Diary of a Hero, the second episode of my life,” but when I look at the main character, I always think of the boss. Could it be because they behave similarly?”

“… … .”

I looked at Eugene with a stabbed expression.

“I was just joking. sorry. Were you like Deokhu?”

Eugene smiled embarrassingly when I didn’t say anything.

“… uh. never read that novel again. I’m sorry for the content. It’s the second round of my life.”

“Is that so?”

Scratching his head, he gently avoided Yujin’s eyes.

“Call the kids. I will have everyone attend the press conference.”

“All guild members?”

“Of course. You don’t have to show your power properly.”

“All right.”

**

A makeup shop located in Cheongdam.

“Are the characters living?”

I looked in the mirror and made a cool expression.

“Because the original person is good.”

The designer in charge of my makeup smiled brightly.

“By the way, where are you the CEO of the entertainment industry? All characters… .”

The designer turned his head to either side.

To the side, Xion, Eugene, and Sia are getting makeup.

“You can see something similar.”

He smiled and replied.

“Boss, but we are not idols… Do I really need to get makeup?”

I heard Yujin’s voice from the side.

I said nonchalantly as if I was asking something like that.

“Isn’t it obvious? Whether it’s a guild or business, it’s image making. Okay?”

“All right… .”

“master. Shion is pretty even if she doesn’t do these things.”

“It makes you prettier. After the press conference, I’ll treat you to something delicious. Be patient.”

“yes.”

“I really feel like a celebrity. What will my dad say when he sees… .”

Sia said in a small voice, probably embarrassed.

“Don’t worry, I’ll tell Mr.

It was an irresponsible lie.

If Yoo Tae-seong knew, wouldn’t he rather catch me?

“uh? Seonghun Han?”

It was then.

A man appeared in the mirror as if he knew me.

“Who are you?”

“young. Are you pretending you don’t remember? I am Shim Young-bae. Same class in middle school!”

‘In middle school?’

He delivered newspapers at dawn and worked as a server in the evenings after school.

So I had no choice but to stay asleep at school.

“Is it? I don’t remember.”

“Pretending not to know the bastard. Are you saying that I’ve been bothering you?”

A guy with a big smile.

I sighed.

“Just go. I don’t even remember.”

“Yeah, I’m just going. Who are the women next to you?”

“What are you going to do on your own?”

“No, I go out with a guy like you. I want to have a chance too.”

“What?”

“How much are the ladies? I’ll hit you more than this baby. One million calls per 10 minutes?”

I jumped up from my seat indifferently.

“Why do you want to hit me? it wouldn’t be No matter how I look, I’m a hunter.”

He smiled as if he was about to hit him.

“yes? Great. Shall we go over there and talk?”

It was then.

“Hey, Shim Young-bae, what are you doing! Aren’t you coming soon? Vice-captain, if you’re late, you’ll get scolded!”

A man who seemed to be with him called Shim Young-bae.

“okay! Go soon! Chet. Hey, Han Seong-hoon, see you next time?”

“The next time I see you, you will die.”

“It’s like a bastard and in front of a woman. Goes.”

Shim Young-bae patted me on the shoulder and walked slowly out the door.

‘Using artifact ears.’

[Specify target. Is Shim Young-bae the target?]

‘that’s right.’

[Successfully applied because the target’s resistance is low.]

I just can’t send it.

“Hey, bro.”

“… did you call me now? My name is Youngbae, not Hyungbae.”

“Oh, yes. Be careful on the road at night.”

“… What?”

I said with a grin.

“Because sooner or later your life is going to be f*cking unlucky.”

Still, this is also a fate, but isn’t it humane to give a small gift?

**

‘What… The back of the head is tight.’

Shim Young-bae, managing director of AJ, scratched the back of his neck as he felt something bitter.

“I’m not lucky.”

That time to go to the meeting place.

– Took.

Something muddy fell on his head.

He frowned and held out his hand.

“A~c~bal.”

A white liquid flickered in front of his eyes. It was very gritty and felt bad.

it’s bird poop

Passasac-.

A sparrow passing by had pooped on Shim Young-bae’s head.

“I, that dog! Ah-oh!”

In anger, he tried to catch the sparrow, but he couldn’t catch it. On the contrary, it seems to be aggravating to pay attention once. Shim Young-bae, who was trying to use the characteristics, barely restrained himself after realizing that this was an ordinary downtown area.

“I went to the shop today and polished it. I’m stuck. What is all this going on?”

He trudged along in a natural disaster that was unavoidable as a human being.

**

Meeting room belonging to AJ.

All executives of AJ gathered for an emergency meeting right after watching the press conference of ‘Chaechae Entertainment’, which has recently been attracting attention.

Managing director Shim Young-bae, who was delayed due to bird droppings on the way, hurriedly took his seat. A bit of a bleak view. Fortunately, it wasn’t too late.

“Why are you so late?”

“I’m sorry.”

Shim Young-bae, who couldn’t bear to say, “I was late because I was getting hit by bird droppings on the road and changed clothes,” lowered his head at the vice-captain’s question.

“Anyway, since we’re all here, let’s start the meeting.”

As soon as the vice-captain’s words were over, Han Seong-hoon was illuminated from the news desk as if it had been concocted.

It has been the subject of the most careful attention lately. Shim Young-bae straightened his back.

-I heard you cleared one of the 7 unsolved dungeons, is it true!

-How did you recruit the No. 1 hunter in Japan, Shion!

-I heard that all guild members are S-class, is that true!

The flash exploded every second and hit Seonghun’s face. While everyone was concentrating, he raised his right hand. The noisy conference hall quickly became quiet.

-Everything ‘that’ you imagine is correct.

Sung Hoon’s voice, spoken at a quiet time, was very audible.

As soon as the words were finished, a barrage of questions and shutters poured in as if they had waited.

Vice-captain shook his head and said to Shim Young-bae.

“What do you think? Mr. Sim.”

Shim Young-bae was in charge of AJ’s information. And it was his job to synthesize that information and advise the future of the Korean hunter world and the direction AJ should go.

Hyeong-bae confidently spoke of the results he had prepared in advance.

“A man named Han Seong-hoon, sooner or later… Off.”

However, my stomach was bloated and burps came out.

The vice-captain frowned and covered his nose as he spoke.

“Hey, did you eat kimchi stew this morning?”

“… Yes.”

Shim Hyung-rae blushed. Still, he’s a pro. He reminded me of what I had to do.

“I will say it again.”

“yes. Come on, tell me.”

“As a result of our team’s investigation, Han Seong-hoon had a fear of AJ.”

The vice-captain asked intriguedly.

“fear?”

“That’s right. He pretended to be imposing on the outside, but he was doing his best not to offend AJ. In other words, what we’ve seen so far… It is a kind of defensive device.”

Shim Hyung-rae thought to himself.

‘great. I’m going to say this first, then reconsider the next.’

In fact, whether or not Han Sung-hoon had fears was out of his interest. Even if he was interested, he didn’t have the jaw to read people’s hearts.

However, he was rather quick-witted. It was the one and only advantage, and the key ability that allowed him to keep this position.

Shim Hyung-rae said this and thought to slowly approach Han Sung-hoon.

Well, maybe even taunt AJ at a press conference? No matter what, the second largest company in the financial world?

It’s nonsense.

– And the most important thing. AJ You f*cking worms. Don’t gossip behind my back like a rat, look at my face and say it. I’m going to turn your face into porridge right now.

… Shim Hyung-bae did not know.

It is unreasonable to expect common sense from Han Seong-hoon.

**

“Damn it! As soon as I said that out of shape… ”

Shim Hyung-bae lightly punched the mirror in the elevator on the way home.

Even thinking about it again made my face burn.

“Hey bastard, did your liver stick out of your stomach?”

Hyeong-bae gnashed his teeth, remembering Sung-hoon’s face.

“Let it go. This disgrace must be… ”

– Dripping.

Then, the elevator shook.

Hyungbae narrowed his brows and looked around.

“what?”

The elevator was shaking mercilessly.

Hyeong-bae opened his eyes wide and read the writing above.

35F.

“Eh, oh no way. should i fall Now, at times like this, keep calm and press this red button.”

-Hoo-wook!

It was the moment when what I had been dreaming of became a reality.

The older brother was startled and leaned against the wall. The elevator was rapidly falling down.

I felt my heart drop, and my body seemed to elongate up and down. A flash of light flashed through his brother’s mind for an instant.

But more than that, the news articles I had seen every morning came to my mind first.

– Elevator crash, zero chance of survival.

-20’s Hunter died in an elevator crash. An inevitable death that even a hunter can’t avoid. Shock device, said to have been destroyed due to a crack in the gate that appeared nearby… … .

-Recently, frequent elevator deaths, a topic of probability… Probability of winning the lottery, being struck by lightning three times and surviving dramatically, then slipping and dying from occipital hemorrhage while taking a shower with peace of mind.

I remember laughing a lot when I saw that.

It is said that elevators are the first things that fall after being made in Korea. That’s why the elevator’s stabilizer is reliable.

However, Hyeong-bae remembered all the unfortunate days that had taken place today. If it were today, after winning the lottery and being struck by lightning three times, you might be the protagonist of the probability of slipping while taking a shower and dying instantly from hemorrhage in the back of the head.

“No, that doesn’t make sense!!!!”

His shrill screams filled the narrow elevator.

Now the moment has come when we must face our destiny. Shim Young-bae closed his eyes.

And the moment you prepare for the shock.

– Knock!

The elevator stopped. A stabilizing device has been developed.

“Huh, huh.”

In fact, it’s really rare to die from an elevator fall.

Even so, Youngbae let out a rough breath. The back of his shirt was full of sweat.

“I almost fell behind.”

Youngbae thought as he wiped the cold sweat that dripped down to his chin with his sleeve.

‘What are you doing today? Did you hear a ghost?’

Even if you don’t have luck, you don’t have too much.

If I were to choose the most unlucky moment in my life, the moment I got married to my current wife three years ago is today.

Is this really a coincidence?

“It must have been a coincidence, then sick… ”

Youngbae was momentarily at a loss for words.

I don’t know why, but what happened in the morning passed by.

-Sooner or later your life is going to be f*cking unlucky.

These were the words Sunghoon said before parting ways.

Young-bae shook his head at the ominous yet absurd imagination.

“Stop, please. It must be a coincidence. They are actually alive.”

He pressed the emergency call bell in the elevator with an awkward smile.
