Civil Servant HunterâS S-Class Resignation Log Chapter 223
Episode 223
âYou never told your brother where this is, right?â
Even though he was busy checking on his younger brotherâs condition, he seemed to be aware that he should not just ignore Aliâs words.
Even though tears were streaming down his face, he nodded.
âI never said it. âI didnât even wonder about it in the first place because I knew that the location of Athenaâs headquarters was confidential.â
âThen how on earth did you know this place? Even quite a few gods donât know the location of this place⦠Is it possible that Yoon Seo-raâs contract body is related to the Olympian gods?â
Athens, the sacred city where the headquarters of the mercenary group Athena is located, is literally a place under the protection of Athena, the god of war.
Because of this, it is a place that even the gods do not know properly, but the gods of Olympus might know.
âI donât know either. I donât know anything about the Sacrament that signed a contract with Seora. âExcept for the fact that I care about Seo-ra very much.â
âWas there a god in Olympus who cared so much about his contractors? There, the god of wisdom. âI know youâre listening, so please talk to me.â
ãIt is said that the Holy Body âGod of War and Wisdomâ has nothing to do with Olympus.ã
âThen how on earth did he know about this place and appear here?â
ãThe person who signed the contract with Seo-ra Yoon is said to know about this place.ã
âNo, so who is the contract holder?â
There was no answer. Why make secrets like this in a contractual relationship? Ali grumbled that she was disappointed, but Athena never opened her mouth.
âI will have no choice but to hear more details when Yoon Seo-ra wakes up. Bring me when you wake up. Please contact Song Hanna as well. Since there hasnât been any word yet, it seems like Yoon Seo-ra didnât stop by in Korea and just showed up here.â
âall right. âThank you, Captain, for accepting Seo-ra instead of kicking her out.â
Yoon Jae-heon stood up and bowed deeply towards Ali.
Until now, no one who was not a member of Athena had ever crossed this secret sacred place. Especially because it is the sacred place of the god Athena, not anywhere else.
Thatâs why Jaeheon was thankful to Ali for taking Seo Ra to his room instead of kicking her out or killing her.
âGod allowed it, so itâs done. But I really need to know how you got here, so bring me back when you wake up.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âyes.â
All the members went out together with Ali.
Yoon Jae-heon, who carefully covered Seo-ra with a blanket, first called Song Hanna to inform her of Seo-raâs safe return. Song Hanna asked several times what he meant when he heard that his nephew had suddenly appeared at Athena headquarters, but he had no other explanation.
In the end, Song Hanna hung up the phone, asking Seo-ra to call her again when she wakes up. Still, I was glad that I felt relieved rather than surprised.
Jaeheon put down his phone and sat down in his chair with a sigh. The joy that Seora had returned safely, the worry about whether she was really okay, and the wonder of how she knew about this place were mixed inside.
However, the emotion that rose before that was none other than anxiety.
âSeora, more people are angry with you than you think.â
Victor, who barely participated in the invasion of the labyrinth, also fought to protect the country, and Lu Enyu was eaten by a god and died.
Rector Roderick and Garcia were wounded and many others were killed.
Meanwhile, Yoon Seo-ra was attacked by an unknown enemy and lost consciousness, so she could not participate in the war. It appeared late, but as soon as it was revealed, it hid again.
This made many people angry and criticized her.
Because Jeong Ho-young died, Koreansâ anger was greater than anyone elseâs.
âThatâs why Iâm worried. âIâm afraid youâll be really hurt.â
Fortunately, L-class awakened people around the world believed in Seo-raâs innocence, but those who did not know about her demanded proof.
From the time when I was in F-class to becoming S-class and rising to L-class. Although he never ran away and fought against the enemy, people couldnât believe that he was attacked by the enemy even once and poured out criticism.
Jaeheon Yoon was distressed. This child never wanted to be a hero, but why do people arbitrarily place expectations and hope, only to be disappointed in the end?
Why donât you trust her?
âActually, I was hoping you would just leave for good and never come back. âI missed you and wondered if you were healthy and safe, but other than that, I wanted you to stay for the rest of your life next to a god who only cares about you.â
Then Seora wonât be in pain anymore. I would have lived happily buried in the blind love given by God.
Even though he had to swallow his longing for his younger brother for the rest of his life, he could endure that level of pain as long as Seo-ra lived peacefully.
ââ¦Of course, thereâs no way you would make that choice. âBecause there are a lot of people you love here.â
Jaeheon Yoon laughed bitterly. Seeing her sleeping with a comfortable face, it seemed like the god had put Seo-raâs mind at ease.
âThey said they wouldnât live like mom and dad. âI guess we are family.â
Jaeheon turned off the light so Seora could sleep more comfortably. And he also laid down on the sofa to rest.
The sound of my younger brotherâs even breathing coming from close by helped ease my heart that had been pounding anxiously for two weeks.
Jaeheon fell into a peaceful sleep for the first time in a very long time.

âHow on earth did he get there?â
Even after the call from Jaeheon hung up, Song Hanna held on to her phone for a long time.
what? Showing up at Athenaâs headquarters unconscious? A place where even WDO doesnât know where it is? how?
âWhat do you think, Seora Yoon?â
Do Jun-young, who came to the association presidentâs office to report on the situation and overheard the call, urgently asked.
âHeâs unconscious, but heâs not hurt anywhere. âThe complexion is also very good.â
âYouâre unconscious? âI wonder if there was any problem on the way to Athena headquartersâ¦â
Do Jun-youngâs body shook. Maybe itâs because he saw Seo-ra since she was a baby, but he was just as overprotective as Yoon Jae-heon.
âI see youâre sleeping soundly with a very comfortable face. While other people canât sleep because of worries, I canât believe Iâm sleeping well on my own. Iâm glad. âHe also slept well.â
ââ¦okay.â
Do Jun-young was still restless with only the answer. His complexion was also very haggard as he nervously shook his shoulders.
âIt looks like Seo-ra is okay, so Director Do can take a breath. âIâll leave work early today and get some rest.â
ââ¦No, thanks. âThere is a lot of work to be done until Yoon Seo-ra returns.â
âIâll be sure to tell Seo-ra that Director Do worked very hard.â
âYou donât have to. âItâs not something I want you to know.â
That was what Song Hanna knew best. Because she never showed it in front of Seo-ra, who had no idea that Do Jun-young was her brotherâs friend who she had known since childhood.
I was so proud and grateful that Seo-ra stood firm and watched her back every time she was ignored for being in the F grade.
So she thought for a long time before saying this.
âIâm thinking about having you resign.â
Do Jun-youngâs eyes widened at the sudden words.
âI feel like being a public servant is Seo-raâs limitation. The reason Gil-sang Lee holds on to Seo-ra like that is because he has the shackles of being a public servant. âOnce the shackles disappear, Seora will be able to live more freely.â
âIf Seo-ra Yoon agrees, that would be fine.â
Song Hanna was surprised by the answer, which was more obedient than expected.
âWouldnât it be a pity?â
âI have nothing to regret.â
âThe reason I stubbornly rose to the position of manager at that age was to help Seo-ra, who joined the association.â
âI did it because I wanted to do it. âThat is no reason to block Yoon Seo-raâs path.â
Rather, Do Jun-young looked like he didnât understand Song Hannaâs words. Song Hanna was speechless.
âIt is natural for Seo-ra Yoon to pursue her own greed, just as I pursued my own. Well, if I donât see you as often as I do now, Iâll probably feel a little lonely.â
âoh my god. âShe should know that Director Do thinks of Seo-ra this way.â
âI donât want that either.â
Do Jun-young laughed softly. A blunt man who usually didnât smile, he laughed a lot whenever he was related to Seo-ra.
âIâm okay with anything as long as I can keep Yoon Seo-ra from crying anymore. âI never want to see myself like I was when I was 11 again.â
The winter of the new year was the loneliest and coldest in Seoraâs life.
Song Hanna also didnât want Seo-ra to spend that kind of winter twice.
ââ¦so do i.â
His face looked so satisfied that she couldnât help but ask. The question of whether he has Seo-ra in mind.
I think Do Jun-young would just laugh instead of answering. Just like the past three years when he didnât say a word even in front of Seo-ra who didnât recognize him.
He simply chose to remain silent and watch his back, and his mind would never change in his life. Hanna Song expressed her gratitude by patting her trustworthy shoulder.
No words were exchanged, but Do Jun-young answered with a smile that showed that he understood her feelings.

Seong Ja-rim had been chased for several days already.
I jumped over a building under renovation and quickly hid in a dark alley, but this damn thing must have used a tracking spell so I was quickly caught again.
Even though Jarim screamed, this bad guy didnât let go of his hold on the back.
âWhere is Yoon Seo-ra?â
The person who screamed was none other than Kang Se-jun.
âDoes it make sense that you havenât shown up for almost 15 days already? âI know the Holy Body is worried about Yoon Seo-ra, but this is a bit harsh!â
So, that was the cause. Seong Ja-rim knows about Seoraâs contracted body that he does not know.
âWhat are you saying to me? But that doesnât mean I can go to the place where that god is! âI know who they are, but I donât know where they are!â
âSo tell me who it is! âBecause it could be the God I know!â
âYou donât know! âYou donât know God!â
âHow many gods did I see during my retreat!â
âNo, you never know! âSeora said he was that godâs only contract!â
Seong Ja-rim, who was stronger than Kang Se-jun, eventually succeeded in escaping from his grasp. However, Kang Se-jun put up a shield around himself as if he knew that would happen. Seong Ja-rim, whose escape route was blocked, jumped up and down.
âOh, itâs not a lie!â
âEven if I am the only one in this life, who knows if I may have contracted with someone else before returning.â
âAbsolutely not! I donât know anything about what happened before the return, but he said there are a few gods he remembers. âThe god of Seora is one of them.â
Kang Se-jun looked suspicious, but Seong Ja-rim did not blink an eye. Finally, he relaxed his eyes.
Unlike Yoon Seo-ra, who has a perfect poker face that can make a Hollywood actor cry, Kang Se-jun also knew that confident Seong Ja-rim canât lie anytime, anywhere.
ââ¦Then where on earth should I find Yoon Seo-ra?â
