Yoo Jinho was shocked.

‘... Red Gate?’

Why was it brought here?

Due to the large amount of news in the media, Yoo Jinho was well aware of the incident.

However, he was not sure why his father had brought him to this meeting.

"And the man ..."

The so-called survivors of the incident.

The press is searching for anyone associated with the incident with passion.

How was that person called to this place?

Various questions came to Yoo Jinho's mind.

Observing him, Yoo Myunghan slowly opened his mouth,

"You don't seem to be conscious."

"Master?"

Putting aside the confused Yoo Jinho, the chairman turned to Go Myunghwan

looks nervous.

"Hunter-nim."

"Yes?"

"Please tell my son who was there that day, in addition to the new member Baekho"

"Understand."

Go Myunghwan turned to Yoo Jinho.

Looking at the man, Yoo Jinho still showed confusion on his face.

"There's a young female Hunter, as old as a high school student, and-"

"Hunter young lady?"

Until then, Yoo Jinho could not imagine the name that would be Go Myunghwan

say next, please,

"Sung Jinwoo - ssi."

sink

Yoo Jinho could almost hear if his heart sank into his stomach.

"H-hyungnim was involved in the Red Gates incident?"

How did this happen?

Yoo Jinho's mind fell into chaos.

But then the young man remembered something,

"Wait a few days ago ..."

Han Songyi, who had completely ignored hyungnim in the past, shared a conversation

friendly with that guy.

"Who's Hunter's name?"

"This is Han Songyi."

My god.

Yoo Jinho's mouth was wide open.

Thinking that this was the secret of hyungnim and Han Songyi's relationship.

'That means…'

"The "unknown hunter" that is all over the news is ... As if confirming his thoughts,

Go Myunghwan continued,

"That's thanks to Sung Jinwoo-ssi, so that Miss Han Songyi and our Baekho members can

leaving Red Gates safely"

'Oh my God…'

Hyungnim, what are you doing there.

Yoo Jinho was half surprised and half happy to hear his hyungnim name.

The young man forgot about the father in front of him and boldly asked,

"What's happening at Red Gates?"

Go Myunghwan looked to his side to ask permission.

Yoo Myunghan nodded.

Hunter himself was already itching to explain further, so the man was happy

the heart explains everything that happens in the Red Gates,

"Well, where should I start ..."

Yoo Jinho listened with sparkling eyes.

“We were confused at first, when we heard that two Rank-E Hunters would be

join in our training.But…"

Go Myunghwan began to retell the stories that happened like a child

he showed off his new toys to his friends.

However, he wasn't the only one who was happy with the story, either,

"Hunter Rank-A?!"

"What I know! He slapped her with pow! And Kim Cheol just fell!

"Wow…"

Every time he heard of hyungnim's new achievements, Yoo Jinho's heart beat faster.

"As expected of hyungnim."

Killing high-level monsters was nothing.

But to think that he could knock out a Rank-A Hunter in a single blow.

The fact that the man was his hyungnim made Yoo Jinho amazed and proud.

Go Myunghwan continued his story,

“Then dozens of ice elves appeared.I really think we're done by then, but- "

Is it because they are so focused on the story?

Time passes quickly.

The story of Red Gates is not a short story, but in a short time, Go Myunghwan

reaching the end of the story.

The man spoke with a little too much excitement,

“It was something impossible.Sung Jinwoo-ssi is the savior of everyone there”

Yoo Jinho nodded unconsciously.

He fully understood Go Myunghwan's feelings.

He himself was saved by the hyungnim several times.

"And to think that we can't tell the story of our savior!

It's hard for me to accept Baekho's decision on this issue

call me dan- "

Yoo Myunghan cut Go Myunghwan off at just the right time,

"Hunter Go Myunghwan - nim."

"Master?"

"I think that's enough"

"Ah, I'm sorry.I became a little overzealous"

Go Myunghwan slightly lowered his head in embarrassment.

Yoo Myunghan returns to her son,

"And when I investigated Hunter Sung Jin Woo, an unexpected name appeared"

Yoo Myunghan pointed to a name in the document in front of her.

The guy's finger is in Yoo Jinho's name.

The document was one of the reports Raid gave the young Hunter to his father

in the beginning.

The finger slid to the second name on the document, Sung Jin Woo.

Raid Leader Yoo Jinho.

Raid member Sung Jin Woo.

Evidence clear.

'He caught my wet…'

The fact that he had borrowed a powerful Hunter ability to license plans

Guildmaster.

Yoo Jinho's expression hardened.

“The fact that the help of Hunter Sung Jin Woo is very clear in your plans to get

guildmaster License.Do you deny it? "

"...No, dad"

"Do you have anything else to say?"

"..."

The road ahead looked gloomy to the young man.

When hyungnim's involvement in the plan is revealed, it becomes impossible to

convinced his father that he deserved to own the Yoojin Guild.

‘...’

His father kept looking at him with a sharp look.

In the past, Yoo Jinho would have lost all strength in the face and that view.

'But.'

He can't back off like this.

For the first time in his life, Yoo Jinho mustered the courage to

against his father.

The young man lowered his head and raised his voice,

"Can you leave the Yoojin Guild to me, father?"

"All right"

"Eh?"

At his cold answer, Yoo Jinho raised his head.

"I'll leave Yoojin Guild to you"

"Huh…?"

"You yourself said so.It is too risky to leave the Guild to an outsider.

With your existence, is there a need for us to take unnecessary risks? "

"B-but, I'm trying to trick you, dad-"

"Keep.Do you think I'll scold you and throw you out?"

Is he wrong?

His father's face remained firm; his mouth was covered in a straight line.

But Yoo Jinho felt as if his father was smiling.

"If you carelessly enter the Dungeon without a plan, maybe I will.

I don't remember raising a fool to be my son”

Yoo Jinho felt his face become hot.

"If I had never met hyungnim, I would have been scolded and kicked away by father now"

Well, he's probably dead before that.

Yoo Jinho let out a sigh of relief in his mind.

"However, I have a requirement"

"Yes"

"Hunter Sung Jinwoo's ... Can you take him to the Yoojin Guild?"

"Hyungnim to our Guild?"

"Did you just say hyungnim?"

A light flashed in Yoo Myunghan's eyes for a split second.

"Yes"

Yoo Jinho could not answer easily,

"Nrp ..."

The young man knew he had to appear confident in front of his father now.

However, the target in question is hyungnim.

All he could do was ask and hope for the best.

So, he spoke honestly to his father, he said,

"I'm not sure."

"Well, there's no point if the terms if it's easy to do"

Chairman Yoo Myunghan drank water and wiped his mouth with a handkerchief.

"If you fail, I will hand over the Guild to your brother,

would you try it? ”

Yoo Jinho's face was filled with determination.

"I've worked hard for this opportunity ..."

If he were to leave now, he would not be able to raise his head in front of hyungnim, either,

who helped him to the end.

Yoo Jinho spoke with a serious look in his eyes,

"Yes, I'll try."

"All right"

With his father's last words, the agreement between father and son was completed.

Yoo Myunghan nodded silently looking at her son, and Yoo Jinho uttered

goodbye and go.

Yoo Myunghan took the handkerchief out of her mouth; the man had trouble hiding it

a smile on his face.

"That's the boy ..."

To think that he would ask the Yoojin Guild.

He had a rough idea of what Yoo Jinho wanted when his son asked

this meeting, but it was beyond Yoo Myunghan's expectation that his son would come

with such determination.

"As expected, the son of a tiger is still a tiger"

The smile on Yoo Myunghan's face slowly widened.

‘Yeah! Chairman Yoo Myunghan is smiling! "

Go Myunghwan was shocked.

The chairman's nickname is "Pokerface".

Whether something good or bad happened, the man was famous for maintaining his expression

the hard and fierce.

Sensing Go Myunghwan's amazed gaze, Yoo Myunghan turned to her side and asked,

"Hunter-nim, is there anything you want to say?"

At that sudden question, Go Myunghwan hurriedly shook his head,

"N-no, Master."

... 47, 48, 49, 50.

Jin Woo climbed upstairs at a terrifying speed.

[You've defeated Mid-Level Demons]

[You got 300 EXP points]

[You got 1 Demon Soul]

...

...

[You have defeated Mid-Level Demons ..]

[You have defeated Mid-Level Demons ..]

However, after seeing the EXP points and soul piling up every time he defeated the Demon, he,

Jin Woo is not tired.

[Collected Demon Souls: 4,388/10,000]

"Don't even make it halfway, huh?"

He felt like he had hunted the endless hordes of Demons here, though,

but the wall known as 10,000 is still very high.

What about the level?

[Level: 69]

He had increased by two more levels after a day.

It must have slowed down, but it was still fast compared to the soul gathering rate.

Even now, he continued to earn EXP points.

"Kkieeeek!"

[... Mid-Level Demons]

[You got 300 EXP points]

[You got 1 Demon Soul]

"Wah-o!"

After defeating the last Demon in front of him, Jin Woo stretched his back and

looking around.

Amongst the Shadow Soldiers who stood with attention, the lifeless Mid-Level Demons

countless scattered.

claps

Jin Woo smiled and patted her hand.

"Good work, everything."

The soldiers who fought hard returned to their shadows.

While they could be used to collect magic nuclei in normal Dungeons,

here, only Jin Woo can collect drop items.

[Do you want to get it?]

After all, only he could respond to System messages.

‘This part is a little troublesome.’

So, if the number of demons is small, Jin Woo will take care of it himself.

Only if against a larger group would the soldiers be called.

After each battle, he went from corpse to corpse, extending his hand towards the

light and collect items.

"What was so much fun about this that Jinho kept wanting to do it?"

Remembering his dongsaeng, Jin Woo smiled as he continued to work.

There's one more inconvenience here.

In the Demon Castle, Shadow Extraction was impossible.

The Low-Level Demons and Mid-Levels he fought did not emit any black smoke

which indicates a soldier can be lifted.

"Even when I stare at the bodies, all I get is-"

[Polluted]

[That's not a possible target for Shadow Extraction]

The message telling him the extraction was impossible because mana was contaminated.

"Well, what can I do?"

Disappointed, Jin Woo goes from corpse to corpse and gets a pile of messages.

ring ~

[You have found 29 "Mid-Level Demon's Horns"]

[Do you want to get everything?]

Jin Woo smiled broadly, though,

'Of course!'

Seeing the items piling up on the ground, Jin Woo forgot about the disappointment about

Shadow Extraction's.

"There's nothing I can use."

Then everything has to be sold!

Mass sales of junk goods in recent days have been

massively increase his savings.

[Gold Current: 914,690,772]

DAMN IT!

Looking at the amount of gold he had collected, Jin Woo was satisfied once again.

Its "Shop" System fund increased to 900 million.

'One Demon horn is about 200,000, and I have hunted 4,000 of them. '

And adding other random items on sale, the gold piled up at a terrifying speed.

"Should I buy a Rank-S weapon or armor?"

Jin Woo shook his head.

He did not feel much need at the moment and did not want to spend the gold forcefully.

"I'm sure someday I'll need it."

Jin Woo closed the storage and cleaned his hands.

The area has been roughly cleared.

He had long since obtained the entrance permit for the 51st Floor.

All that is left to do is go to the magic elevator ...

Jin Woo turned his gaze to the pillar of light.

Keeping the magic circle was a gigantic Demon surrounded by several High-Level Demons.

Jin Woo looked over the head of the giant Demon.

His name was floating in an ordinary place, in black letters:

‘Overlord of the Lower Floors, Volkhan of Avarice’

The demon had a gigantic muscular body that looked like it weighed several dozen, no,

a few hundred tons.

In his hand was a huge, terrifying stick.

Still, Jin Woo was still smiling,

"So that's the 'Mid-Level Boss' boss'?"

Jin Woo has no bad memories when it comes to the boss of Instant Dungeons.

They always give out a large amount of EXP points and drop good items.

Compared to low monsters that often gave small rewards, boss-level monsters

it is practically a treasure box.

Jin woo wondered what item he would drop.

gulp

Jin Woo smiled to anticipate it.
