Chapter 59

“Oh, Yoon Jaehun? He’s really famous. He must be strong.”

When Sung Jarim, who had been listening quietly, stepped in, Gong Haeyeon raised her head.

“Don’t you remember? Hunter Yoon Jaehun has been active since 8 years ago.”

“I don’t know. In fact, I forgot all of the domestic S-class except for the big bread.”

Having lived on another planet for over 100 years, it was no wonder she’d forgotten.

“He belongs to Athena, an overseas mercenary guild. He was the youngest to become an executive, so there’s a lot of talk about him.”

“Ah, he’s the S-class doing overseas activities. It’s said that if there’s a problem in Korea, he will come right away.”

“That’s right, that’s right!”

Cheorwon Dungeon, which was locked with a Lock that was barely obtained at the expense of a Hunter.

Sung Jarim, who had heard Song Hanna’s remarks, glanced at Seora. But she didn’t look like she cared much. It was just-

‘I see. Brother has finally decided to swallow that dungeon in this opportunity.’

She just thought so. It was Jaehun’s long-time dream, so there was nothing special now.

‘Can he do it?’

She was only ten years old at the time, so she couldn’t exactly remember the horror of that day. She had no idea how terrible it must have been.

So she was worried. Because Jaehun was someone who would not hesitate to take any risk to destroy that dungeon.

“Wait a minute.”

As Jarim continued to show interest in Jaehun, Seora stood up alone because of a text message. It was Song Hanna’s message calling her to the association’s president’s office.

“From your expression, you must’ve already heard about it.”

As soon as she entered, she heard a smiling voice. Seora sighed deeply.

“You know how surprised I was to see it in the community? Why didn’t you tell me in advance?”

“I thought you wouldn’t go to work if I told you.”

“…”

You’re very quick-witted. Seora clicked her tongue openly. Song Hanna smiled as if she was happy.

“Don’t worry. Jaehun promised he wouldn’t come in contact with you in a conspicuous place.”

“I guessed so. My brother hates me being exposed to reporters more.”

No one didn’t know that Yoon Jaehun was the son of Hyun Jaehee, who had died in Cheorwon Dungeon. As much as the media paid attention to him, Jaehun desperately prevented Seora from being exposed.

He was an S-class that even reporters couldn’t touch, but Seo-ra was only an F-class working as a civil servant.

Jaehun compulsively protected Seora as she was a fragile prey that was perfect for cruelty.

“His hotel is also far from where you are now, so don’t worry and be comfortable.”

“That’s a relief.”

“Of course, of course. But since you’re siblings, wouldn’t it be very disappointing if you couldn’t meet at all?”

“Yes?”

Just in time, someone knocked on the door.

At that moment, Seora couldn’t help but notice. Beyond that door was someone who was strong enough to be compared to Song Hanna and Joo Eun.

“It’s been a while, President.”

That was the power of Jaehun that Seora felt for the first time in her life.

“It’s been a while, my sister.”

Upon entering, Yoon Jaehun showed a much heavier presence than in the photos on the community. His gently smiling face was more mature than when she’d last seen him. It was a little unfamiliar.

But some things didn’t change. His face, resembling their beautiful mother, was still the same.

“Are you a little taller?”

Seora, embarrassed by his act of raising his hand to measure, burst out laughing.

“You’re still saying things you used to say when I was a teenager? I’m an adult. How much taller can I be?”

“No, I really think you’re getting taller. Are you not? Then has your bearing matured?”

Unlike Seora, who resembled their father, Jaehun, whose clear brown eyes resemble their mother, looked at her slowly. Seora felt guilty even though she knew he had no special eyes like Sung Jarim.

‘Come to think of it, Brother has always been very quick-witted. I-I have to be careful.’

[Administrator: ٩(* ‘ω’ *)و]

‘Yes. I can only trust Elizabeth.’

Work hard, my blessing.

Jaehun would be very upset if he found out that she’d reawakened thanks to her near-death experience, so it would be better to stay quiet.

“I’m glad you look healthy. I was very worried when I heard that you were attacked again.” Jaehun sighed and ruffled Seora’s hair lightly. “So, where is he now?”

His face changed in an instant. There was not even a single warmth on his face that gave anyone goosebumps.

Ooh, his smiling face is so scary.Although I know he’s had this cold side since a long time ago, it still gives me goosebumps.

“I-In prison…”

“When will he be released?”

“Uh…”

“In 20 years. There’s still a long way to go.”

When Song Hanna, who had been listening quietly, intervened, a wrinkle formed on Jaehun’s beautiful forehead.

“Okay. 20 years… I’ll have to wait a little bit.”

Neither Song Hanna nor Seora asked what he would do while waiting. Seeing that ominous smile made Seora think not listening would improve her mental health.

“I heard that one of the L-class Hunters saved you from a catastrophe. I’d like to say thank you, but I can’t reveal our relationship.”

Oh, Kang Sejun. Instead of answering, Seora rolled her eyes. Well, he did help. Thanks to this, he became an L-class who shot people with a slingshot in the middle of the night…

“Do it later. For your information, that person will also join the Cheorwon Dungeon raid.”

“Okay. That’s fortunate. It’ll be good with the L-class coming.”

“We’ll have a meeting with the raid team soon. I’m letting you know in advance.”

“Yes.”

When talking about Park Jinyong, he’d always looked mad. But when he looked at Seora, he suddenly hesitated.

Seora snorted.

“You don’t have to look at me like that. I know you came back for that damn dungeon. I’m not scared anymore. I don’t care.”

[Administrator: (ಠ_ಠ)]

“… Of course, there were times when I was a little concerned, but not now. Now I really don’t mind.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“…”

“Do I look scared?”

Seora looked straight at Jaehun and smiled vigorously.

It was true. Although the dungeon where her mother had died might appear, she was not afraid at all. Rather, she was surprised at how her heart raced so often.

But it was not out of tension or fear. It was anticipation.

“So, don’t worry about me, and just focus on the dungeon raid. And although it wasn’t what I wanted, I also have a bodyguard-like figure.”

“A bodyguard? Who?”

“That’s… The other L-class Awakened beside Kang Sejun. I’m taking care of her right now.”

Seora pulled the corner of her lips and smiled. It was a face full of sorrow, smiling but not smiling. Jaehun couldn’t even ask a light question like “What had happened?” after seeing her face looking like an office worker who had lost her mind from hard overtime.

During his eight-year career as a mercenary, his younger sister had become a perfect office worker.

Jaehun quietly patted the shoulder of his younger sister, who was muttering, “Hicc, hicc. I want to resiiign…”

***

[Yoon Jaehun of Athena’s return. What is the possibility of attacking Cheorwon Dungeon?]

[Can Yoon Jaehun end his 12-year grudge?]

[The departure of the Cheorwon raid team, which Yoon Jaehun participated in, is imminent.]

“Your Brother must be really famous. I hear his name more than Kang Sejun’s.”

Yoon Jaehun was always in articles, including the internet, news, newspaper, and so on that poured out all day.

Jarim, who was lying on the hotel bed and looking at her cell phone, pulled Seora’s clothes.

“Kang Sejun has just appeared, but my brother is an S-class who has been active for eight years. And he’s active overseas, which is rare.”

“He hasn’t been active in Korea at all?”

“As soon as he awakened at the age of 20, Athena contacted him, saying they wanted to sign him. My brother accepted it, and the association’s president also permitted him, so he left immediately.”

“Huh? He got a direct call from Athena? I heard they’re really picky.”

They were very picky. First of all, Athena’s general, Ali Russo, was famous for not looking at anything but the strong. So she selected the members through a very difficult judging process. There were very few cases where one was immediately accepted without a review.

But Yoon Jaehun had been accepted that way. That’s why his return to Korea alone drew attention.

“It’s unique. My brother was quite strong, but that didn’t mean he was uniquely ranked No. 1 in Korea.”

It was not known why Ali had taken Jaehun right away. Jaehun had never told her the reason. Seora only knew he was that good.

“My brother only worked abroad, and there’s no video of him attacking, so I don’t know his abilities well. I think he should be using a sword?”

“Didn’t you see his information when you met last time?”

“What’s the point of seeing it? And I don’t want to see it because it won’t make me happy.”

Like Returnee-ssi. Or the 100-year returnee…

When Seora glanced at her slowly, Jarim hurriedly avoided her gaze.

“Did the administrator say anything? About the Key stealer?”

“Mm. Let’s see…”

As Jarim changed the subject, Seora looked into the air.

[Adminstrator:  ˃̣̣̣̣̣̣︿˂̣̣̣̣̣̣ ]

It’s been like this for a while. When the administrator is sad or depressed, there’s almost a 90% chance that something would happen.

“They’re not talking, but I’m worried. If Lizaliza can’t tell anything, it means there’s something wrong.”

It was the same when the returnee Kang Sejun appeared and when the returnee Sung Jarim appeared.

‘Elizabeth-ssi, we’re not going to see someone like them again, are we?’

[Administrator: ✖(˃̣̣̣̣̣̣︿˂)̣̣̣̣̣̣✖]

It doesn’t seem like that’s the case, looking at the violent denial.

The problem is that whenever I asked them, ‘Is there a high probability that the Cheorwon Dungeon won’t open?’, the returning answer was never positive. I have to be prepared if there’s even a 10% chance that it would open.

“Cheorwon, Cheorwon Dungeon.”

The damn dungeon that killed Korea’s first S-class Awakened and the strongest mother. The enemy that killed most of the first generation Awakened.

If it’s released, will the current Awakened win?

If not, can we escape?

“Are we going to stay in Seoul?”

Jarim’s eyes widened at Seora’s outrageous question.

“Yeah. Song Hanna told me to keep an eye on you. I said I wouldn’t let you go even if something goes wrong.”

“Mm… Perhaps the one who’s most disturbed about this is the association’s president.”

Yoon Jaehun now only wanted to destroy that damn dungeon, and Seora could endure it better than expected because she was an S-class Awakened that no one knew about.

But Song Hanna didn’t know this, so she was probably going crazy with worries. To be honest, that bothered her a bit.

“Seoraseora, I think you can trust her. Can’t you tell her?”

“Actually, it’s not that I didn’t think about it…”

If it had been in the past, she thought it would be okay to tell Song Hanna and Yoon Jaehun since the situation had become like this, but-

“Well, wouldn’t they both be very angry if they knew that the reason I was reawakened was that I was thrown into Werewolf’s Dungeon?”

Song Hanna, who was already on the verge of anxiety, and Yoon Jaehun, who was burning with revenge.

In a situation like that, can I say, ‘Haha, actually, at the moment I felt the fear of death, I re-awakened to S-class!’?

It was fortunate that the two people, who were furious, did not immediately attack the prison where Park Jinyong was imprisoned.

“Well, pretend you didn’t hear me.” Jarim, who had briefly assessed the strength of Song Hanna and Yoon Jaehun, immediately withdrew with a bright smile. It was the right choice.

“I’ll tell them when this goes well.”

Of course, they may still not accept it at that time, but at least it will be better than revealing it right now.

And I’ll have to mention resigning again.

Will you accept my resignation this time? Please. Please fulfill this wish.
