Solo Leveling: Ragnarok – 82



Episode 82

“Representative Dae….”

Yoo Jin-ho was glaring at himself with glaring eyes.

When the name of the guild he belonged to was even clearly mentioned from his mouth Youngho Lee’s complexion became increasingly pale.

“No matter how the situation is the law is supposed to be followed right? “It seems like hunters these days live above the law as is the case with the Shinigami Guild.”

“That can’t be right! “Absolutely not CEO!”

“If not that then what is? Is this only the Hyeonmu guild? “Where did you spy with the drone?”

“That…”

Manager Lee Young-ho was unable to find anywhere to focus his eyes.

This was because he was the one who personally placed the drone in the hands of his subordinate this morning.

Drones these days have really good performance.

Not to mention ultra-high-resolution wide-angle cameras and recording functions flight capabilities and controls have also improved tremendously.

Now if I decided to zoom in I could even find a single hair that had fallen in every corner of the house even beyond the window.

With such good performance it was natural that laws and regulations for privacy protection were tightly structured.

But things have changed a lot with those laws since the cataclysm.

Even during this immigration crisis weren’t there countless broadcasting station drones floating across the sky for live broadcasting?

When a situation such as a dungeon break similar to a natural disaster occurred hunters did not hesitate to use any means possible to hunt the demonic beasts whether it was a drone or something else.

However even in this world it was not acceptable to break into the homes of ordinary citizens without permission.

“Manager Lee Young-ho it seems that the Hyeonmu Guild is not a good fit for our company. “I think you can leave now and not wait for us to contact you.”

“omg. Representative! Please reconsider that…!”

“You know ten when you see one. “When our game is released later if the image of Hyeonmu Guild deteriorates even a little I think it will have a big impact on sales.”

“…!”

Manager Lee Young-ho who was on the verge of having all his hard work come to nothing overnight hastily lowered his head with a look on his face as if he had been sentenced to death.

“Representative! I will apologize on your behalf. It was my mistake to mismanage my load. I think the desire to recruit a good talent like Hunter Seong Su-ho was too much. Instead I will take responsibility and ensure that Hunter Seong Su-ho’s conditions are the highest in the industry or even better!”

When he even mentioned Suho’s name Jinho Yoo’s eyes turned to Suho next to him.

“Suho they say you have the best conditions in the industry. “Do you have any conditions from other guilds?”

But that wasn’t a question in the first place.

Before Suho could reply Jinho Yu continued speaking.

“No matter what don’t sign a contract. No matter if he is the best in the industry or not I cannot see Suho being sold for that kind of money. “I would rather have this uncle open a guild.”

“yes? “Hunter guild?”

Suho looked puzzled at the unexpected suggestion.

“okay. “With companies growing professional baseball teams and soccer teams why can’t they create a hunter guild?”

Jinho Yoo was sincere.

Although it was an impromptu remark it was already one of the items on the agenda at the planning department meeting.

The moment he finished speaking he turned his gaze to the Hunters of the Hyeonmu Guild standing behind him.

“Are you still here?”

His expression became cold again as if it had been like that for some time.

“Representative Dae please reconsider once again….”

Manager Lee Young-ho clings earnestly with the feeling of holding on to the last rope.

However Yoo Jin-ho’s decision was not just because of the personal reason that they bothered Su-ho.

“I’m sure you’ve heard my explanation so far right? This means that the Nahon Level game is such an important business.”

Thorough business.

“What I’m saying is that there shouldn’t be any noise about the hunters that appear in the game. In that sense the behavior of the Hyeonmu Guild is a bit precarious. “Please go back now.”

“….”

It felt like a cold dagger was flying at me and hitting my chest.

Manager Lee Young-ho realized that nothing he said made any sense anymore.

All he can do is trudge out of Ajinsoft with the hunters he brought with him.

And all he could do was figure out how to kill the subordinate he had sent to Suho’s house today.

* * *

Yoo Jin-ho brought Su-ho into the representative office.

“Yes our Suho. Now that the intruders are gone shall we take it easy and hear what’s going on?”

The secretary brought coffee in front of the two as they sat facing each other.

“How’s the Hunter thing going? “Isn’t it very difficult?”

“It’s worth it.”

“It’s worth it boy. When I watched the news it seemed like I was living too dangerously. “You say your grade is C-grade but you happen to be caught between S-grade and A-grade so you’re putting too much effort into it.”

Despite Suho’s resolute answer Jinho Yu clicked his tongue and looked at Suho with pitiful eyes.

To Yoo Jin-ho… Su-ho’s existence was a kind of sore finger.

Seong Su-ho a child whom Yoo Jin-ho had seen since he was young was an extraordinary child who grew up with a good personality under a strict father and a caring mother.

I wonder if he never rebelled or got into trouble which is common during adolescence.

Of course that father was the strictest person in the world.

Because he was a police officer by profession he was a legend of a violent crime detective who took down all the scary gangsters with force.

‘But how did it happen like this….’

Looking at Suho’s face which looked so much like his father’s made Yoo Jinho particularly bitter.

A few years ago.

Suddenly misfortune came to Suho’s life where he had grown up well and without any shortcomings.

Disappearance of parents.

At first no one could accept that fact.

They were a couple who were so close that they sometimes went on impromptu trips.

But one day passed two days passed.

Weeks passed and they did not return.

From then on Yoo Jin-ho started looking for them using all his connections and money.

But no matter how much we searched we could not find a single trace of them.

Afterwards Yoo Jin-ho decided to take responsibility for Su-ho on his behalf and in fact it was he who recognized Su-ho’s painting talent and made him take the art school entrance exam.

‘I didn’t know that I would go to Korea University.’

Is it because I was so immersed in the painting?

Or is it because the world was soon struck by a cataclysm a disaster even more absurd than the disappearance of my parents?

Fortunately Suho didn’t harbor any bad thoughts and grew up properly.

“Is your aunt okay?”

“Hmm. “Your aunt…”

Yoo Jin-ho who was lost in his thoughts couldn’t help but be taken aback by Su-ho’s sudden question.

“…Well I’m still busy looking for your parents.”

“ah.”

Suho’s expression hardened at those words.

Actually it was natural.

They were Suho’s parents but Suho’s aunt Seong Jin-ah also had her own brother and his wife go missing.

An immediate family member went missing overnight but Seong Jin-ah was not the one to wait quietly.

At first there were times when they only trusted the police and waited but these days they even hired detective agencies and hunters to search the whole world.

“Hmm.”

But what is this?

The topic of parents came up and Yoo Jin-ho who noticed that Su-ho’s reaction was a little different from usual opened his eyes.

“What is that expression? “Have you found out anything?”

“Oh no. It’s not like that. Um… I thought it would be a good idea to focus more on looking for your mother rather than your father.”

“…Sister-in-law rather than brother?”

“yes. “I guess my father is someone I don’t have to worry about no matter where he is.”

“That is correct. From the beginning we were looking for the possibility that the two of you went missing separately so don’t worry too much. “These days we are tracking the possibility of being caught in a dungeon break.”

“Dungeon break?”

“okay. Of course he went missing before the cataclysm but surprisingly experts say that gates may have been opening intermittently on Earth even before the cataclysm. “We are looking into that as well so don’t worry too much.”

At this point Suho couldn’t help but nod.

‘Apart from my father there is a very high probability that my mother got caught up in a dungeon and went missing.’

Suho recalled something he once heard from Ber.

‘Now that I think about it my mother said she knew my father’s identity from the start. Moreover it is said that people who once awakened in the forgotten time zone have become hunters just like that.’

Awakening was ultimately the realm of talent.

This means that if the person’s ability to adapt to magical power is high he or she will eventually awaken no matter when the time comes.

‘And my mother said she was an S-class hunter in the past so she must have regained that power eventually.’

And the S-class hunter was able to survive no matter where he fell alone on Earth.

However if it were not Earth it would be a different matter.

‘In the end we have to investigate the dimensional gap.’

widely.

“Anyway Suho.”

As if trying to brighten up the increasingly dark atmosphere Yoo Jin-ho put his coffee cup down loudly on the table and spoke directly to Su-ho.

“What I said earlier was sincere. “I’ll start a guild for you so don’t bother joining a strict guild.”

“yes? Uncle didn’t you just say that out of anger?”

“I was a little angry but we were already planning to grow a hunter guild in our company.”

Yoo Jin-ho took out a folder and held it out in front of Su-ho.

[Hunter Guild New Establishment Project]

“Do you see this? “It’s a plan that hasn’t even taken its first step yet but now that the word is out I have to tell them to start right away.”

“Oh it was true.”

The business plan was heavy as if it had been prepared in great detail.

“Of course because your level is low I cannot appoint you as the guild leader but instead I will assign senior hunters who can be of help to you.”

From the expression on Yoo Jin-ho’s face as he triumphantly showed the folder the thought ‘Isn’t it good to have a rich uncle?’ quickly emerged.

But then.

suddenly!

[There is no need for those guys.]

“…!”

Suddenly Ver jumped out from Suho’s shadow and glared at Yoo Jinho.

[Because the Solord has me.]

“This…!”

When Yoo Jin-ho saw Ber his eyes widened and he jumped up from his seat.

Ber’s eyes narrowed at that violent reaction.

[You guys don’t even remember…]

“Fuhaha! “Suho come on!”

[Hmm?]

Yoo Jin-ho pointed to Ber’s appearance and burst into laughter at Su-ho.

“So you always drew pictures of ants and eventually developed the skill to summon ants? Hahaha!”

[…Did you just draw a picture of ants?!]

At those words Ber opened his eyes wide and looked back at Suho fiercely.

Then boom!

He clung to Suho’s head and started shedding tears of joy.

[Little Lord-! Have you missed Soin so much all this time?]

“No whatever. Let’s say this is also an instinct engraved in the subconscious…”

Isn’t this a similar principle to unconsciously creating a game or drawing a picture of an ant?

Suho feeling embarrassed for no reason forcibly removed Ber and pushed him back into the shadows.
