Reality (1)
frustrated.
I never thought that not being able to do things the way I want them to be could be so stressful. I used to think that the most stressful thing was trying to clean up things that I didn’t see coming.
This kind of thing rarely happened at the management office. What happened inside the dungeon was actually the responsibility of the strategy team, so if they just gave me a strategy, I barely had anything to do. As for Han Tae-kyung’s license suspension… It’s because the process of remediation is annoying, but if you blame that crazy guy, the arrows of criticism that were poured on the management office were less than expected. Han Tae-kyung’s antics were famous.
Occasionally, when something happened that required me or my father to step in… . Most of the time, my father left it up to me. I sold Hong Seok-young’s face and name to somehow minimize the scale of the incident and let it be covered up.
Those working in the management office were also familiar with the structure. To be honest, I have never been unreasonable. I can’t say that I have never pushed for something that was somewhat unreasonable, but I have always resolved it within legal boundaries. I have never forced anyone to go on an overseas business trip that was unnecessary.
therefore.
“Of course not!”
“why?!”
“Are you in your right mind?!! America at this time? Absolutely not!!”
I’m not suggesting that you go to America to play!
He stared at Yimiseon with displeasure.
“No.”
“… … .”
“What… If you look at it that way, it can’t be done, right?!”
Yimiseon didn’t avoid my gaze. Instead, she opened her eyes wide and glared at me in the same way.
“I’m not a kid. You know that too, teacher. It’s a sensitive time, so you have to refrain from any conspicuous behavior.”
“A sensitive time?”
Is the dungeon issue caused by the Myeongdong incident still a problem? The media made a lot of noise for a few days when the dungeon management entity was transferred from a private guild to the state. Of course, it didn’t last more than a week. I just thought it was something like that and let it go.
Well, that’s the perception of the civilians, but the perception of the country is different. As Yim I-seon warned me.
No, but that’s a different story. Did I make something up or did I say I wanted to go on a tour of America?
He said he wanted to go to America because there was a guy named Henry Lehman there.
Alex Hope was finally stripped bare.
…although it’s not quite complete, at least we’ve managed to divulge some personal information about another one of Noah Michel’s henchmen, a man named Henry Lehmann.
Nationality: German. Permanent resident in the United States. Moves frequently, but often uses a small apartment in Chicago as personal space.
At first, the idea of going to catch him was something I said impulsively after struggling with countless thoughts. But that day, I lay in bed and thought about it carefully.
I have to go anyway.
Am I still impulsive?
… No. I think it’s right to go.
“Yes. It’s a sensitive time!”
Yimiseon suddenly became irritated.
“Honestly, I have too many things going on here and there!”
“That’s the Hunter’s situation.”
“Whose fault do you think it is?!”
Are you sure you want to come?
I shrugged.
“Mr. Hong?”
“Yes! That person is about 80%!!”
Yimiseon screamed loudly.
If Hong Seok-young had been there, Lee Mi-seon might have finally lost her self-control and grabbed Hong Seok-young’s head.
I touched my chin.
There was no one who could watch Alex Hope at the moment. The hunters of the other lines, including Im Ji-seon, couldn’t handle Hope, and I… I don’t think I’d lose a fight with him, but I don’t think I could catch him if he decided to run away. I don’t think Hope would run away like that, though, as long as Gamble is here.
Instead, I looked at Hope’s confiscated cell phone. Hope’s plan was set anew. Never leave Sandra Gamble alone. Eliminate any means of communication between the two.
“and!!”
“yes?”
“What is that?!”
“What.”
“Son! Son?”
“Oh. That’s it.”
When Hong Seok-young first started complaining to me about his son, I forgot that Hope heard it.
Actually, that wasn’t important at the time.
Honestly, I still don’t think it’s that important.
“What is it! What were you talking about?!”
Are you more curious about this than Henry Lehmann?
I replied calmly.
“I guess you want to adopt my younger brother as your son.”
“… Is this it?”
“Haven’t you noticed that Mr. Hong has been acting friendly with Irok lately?”
“Uh, um.”
Yimiseon hesitated.
“It’s strange that you don’t care when a child runs around.”
“… I see.”
I shrugged my shoulders nonchalantly.
It looks more suspicious to get angry and raise your voice here for no reason. Let’s keep our composure.
“Anyway, I don’t know if you really want to have a son or if you just want to play family games….”
“Hong Hunter never says such things even as a joke. If he really said that, it means he will do so.”

“… … .”
Yimiseon interrupted me with a face that looked extremely tired.
He had been looking tired lately due to his heavy workload, but now he seemed to be exhausted in a slightly different way. I wanted to ask why, but the moment I opened my mouth, I knew the reason.
Yes. Hong Seok-young would never lightly mention the word family, especially the word son.
I didn’t want to talk about this topic any further. I tried to ignore Im Ji-seon’s complicated gaze and returned to the original topic.
So, why are you saying that I can’t go to the US to catch Henry Lehman?
“Is it because when Hunter Hong moves, so many people look at him?”
“yes?”
“I am against going to America.”
The hunter representing South Korea has a reputation that matches his status. There are many people who listen to Hong Seok-young’s every move.
“You said that the work increased because of Hong Hunter. It would be problematic to say that it is not possible simply because there is more work.”
“Do you think I’m some kind of kid?!”
“If Hong Hunter can’t do it, I’ll go and come back.”
Hope’s words… I don’t know how much I can believe, but according to him, Henry Lehman is just an average human, much weaker than Noah Michel.
It would be nice if I could deal with Henry Lehman right away, but even if I couldn’t, I at least needed to see how the ark was doing in the Americas. I also wanted to see with my own eyes whether the children Gamble had taken were safe.
Actually, I’ve never been given such a secret mission… but in this world, where can I just do what I want? Judging from the information about the ark that has been revealed so far, I can’t just sit there and wait for the ark to roll into my hands. If there’s something I want to get, I have to take action. Whether it’s information or something else.
Besides, if they’re the special activities department of the association office, they’re the ones who are good at this kind of work. Surely Yimiseon wouldn’t tell me to go alone.
“That won’t do any more.”
But Yimiseon answered with an even more stiff face.
“… You say it’s not possible?”
This is a completely unexpected answer.
“Leave Henry Lehman to me. I’ll figure out how much of what Hope says is true, and then I’ll deal with it.”
My chest started to feel tight again and I started to feel irritated.
“therefore….”
“He’s not an ordinary criminal. If Hope’s words are true, he’s running a criminal organization with ties to the South American black market. If you mess with someone like that without thinking, if you mess with him and miss by even one chance, it’ll be a disaster.”
“… … .”
“And I don’t think we’re the only ones chasing him.”
“…What does that mean?”
Yimiseon’s expression relaxed a little.
“Look at the areas he’s dealing in. The Hunter’s body is a body, but he’s also dealing in drugs, illegal weapons… Gamble covered it up, but he’s probably dealing in grave goods and stolen goods as well.”
“… … .”
“He’s not just a subordinate of an eccentric wizard, he’s an international criminal. The FBI and the National Security Agency are all on the hunt for him, as are South American countries. Our Association of Psychic Abilities, and even Interpol have probably put out a search warrant for him.”
“hmm.”
“The investigative powers will be incredibly complicated.”
“How can this Hunter not do that? Hunter Hong is here.”
Most complicated issues were resolved by mentioning Hong Seok-young’s name.
Will it be different this time?
“Ah. That’s right. If Hong Hunter steps in, the process will become a little simpler.”
“Yes. So.”
“But that’s only for Hong Hunter. Mr. Woo is not allowed.”
Yimiseon’s face hardened again.
“Um… I was wrong about this.”
“yes?”
“Actually, rather than saying it was a mistake… I should say it was humanitarian. Hong Hunter isn’t the type of person to do that, and since Mr. Woo’s motives were so clear, he was somewhat turning a blind eye to it.”
Yimiseon sighed deeply.
“Professor Wu, aren’t you forgetting that you yourself escaped from the ark?”
“… … .”
“Professor Woo, your identity. Do you remember that we made it for you?”
“… … .”
“I can’t let you go abroad. Of course, you won’t get permission either.”
Suddenly I realized that this was not the administrative office.
The Yimiseon in front of me is not a woman who quietly follows what her father says with a dry smile. There are no employees who come with reports and make detailed plans about what my father or I say.
Right now, I am not in a position to give orders; on the contrary, I am in a position to listen to orders.
Yes… . From the beginning, Hong Seok-young suddenly handed me a contract to become a model high school teacher, so I was mistaken. When I was first questioned about this and that in the investigation room, I was on guard. At that time, that contract was so shocking that all my emotions flew away.
“… Mr. Woo?”
“No. Now that I think about it, what the hunter said is right.”
Yimiseon looked slightly uncomfortable, but did not correct her words.
It’s not Yim Seon who has to deal with this situation. It’s Na Ji.
“I was too impatient. The ark….”
“ah.”
“The ark, you know. I’m in a hurry.”
“That could be possible.”
“Because someone who can be held accountable has appeared. Noah Michelle is Noah Michelle, but the Archmage is not someone who can be touched right away… .”
“No, I know what you mean. If I were Mr. Woo, I would be impatient too.”
Was it all calculated that Hong Seok-young had pushed in the employment contract at that time?
Maybe he was just waiting for me to let my guard down a little and make a mistake.
If it was Hong Seok-young, whom I had seen after returning to the past, it seemed quite believable. It seems that my father was a much more meticulous person than I had thought.
“And even if that weren’t the case, it really wouldn’t work at this point. There’s already a lot of talk about the demonstration project.”
“Is this a demonstration?”
“Isn’t it true that Hunter Hong is trying to create a personal guild with support from the country…?”
ah.
How come… nothing has changed. So many other things have changed, so it would be nice if even these little things changed along with it.
Even though I was seeing the exact same thing my father had experienced twenty years ago happening right before my eyes, all I could do was sigh.
