Chapter 98 – Jinah Kim

Kim Jin-ah came.
I had roughly heard the story from Hannah beforehand.
“Someone from the government came?”
She was so proud that she had been sent by the president before, so I knocked on her a little and it seems that she contacted the company.
It could be said to be a desirable phenomenon.
“So you want to meet me? When?”
“Unho-nim said it was possible whenever he wanted. And flame guild master Kwak Sang-hyeon also wants to meet Woon-ho.”
“Why is that person?”
“I think it might be because of the work in Jeju Island.”
The attack on Jeju Island has been temporarily suspended.
The Flame Guild ardently explained that it was not their fault.
They also released a video saying they didn’t touch anything.
It was a scene where the egg cracks and a monster appears and flies into the sky.
It was an unusual one that hatched from an egg.
In the meantime, fortunately, there were no Class A dimensional cracks.
I wonder if the person who was supposed to wake up in the first place has woken up.
Or maybe he woke up as the Flame Guild approached, though it is unknown.
If it’s true that they hatched at the right time, the Flame Guild could have been unfair, since it was like the crow’s ship fell apart when it flew.
But the truth doesn’t matter.
In that disaster, they were already made like sinners.
Public opinion was overwhelming that the monsters came out because of a needless attack on Jeju Island.
However, the intensity of the criticism was not as strong as expected.
First of all, the fact that the Flame Guild Master is only 4 A-class Awakeners in Korea was great.
If they hit me hard for no reason and went to another country, it would be a huge blow, so I couldn’t help it.
And throwing a huge amount of recovery funds also worked to some extent.
After all, I wasn’t worried about celebrities and awakened people.
Still, I couldn’t understand why he wanted to see me.
In conclusion, it’s like I’ve cleaned up the shit Emperor Kwak Sang-hyeon has accumulated, so what are you trying to say thank you for?
‘I’m satisfied with just a little poke of money.’
Even so, these days, the surroundings are noisy and annoying.
I didn’t really want to meet an old man who wasn’t even a pretty woman.
“Should we meet?”
“I don’t know about the flame emperor, Kwak Sang-hyeon, but it would be good to meet the chief of staff at least once.”
Well, if you’re not going to do villainous things, it’s better to take care of what the government needs.
If so, it was necessary to see the face once and talk about it.
“When do you want to meet?”
“They said they would come if you call them when they want.”
“Any time?”
“Yes. If Unho-nim wants, he can call me here.”
That said, I didn’t want to bring an unknown man into this private space.
“Yes, take out the horns too, so let’s watch with Hannah now.”
It was obvious that I would be very nervous and tired to handle it by myself.
Just in time, there was someone who could help.
I was thinking of giving some guidelines and entrusting it to Hannah.
“I will see you.”

When she went to work, Hannah smiled brightly and welcomed her with great hospitality.
“Welcome to such a shabby place, a precious person.”
And I could see a neat middle-aged man in gold-rimmed glasses in the waiting room.
“Nice to meet you. I am Lim Jae-won, who served as the chief of staff to the President.”
It seemed that this man was the president’s chief of staff.
“This is Park Woon-ho.”
I had no intention of prolonging the time.
It wasn’t that I didn’t have a living, and I didn’t even want to tear it apart.
The more you receive, the more you have to do.
If you received the benefits, you couldn’t just throw away everything and play because you were an S-class Awakener.
If you don’t like that, don’t take advantage of it.
But the benefits were too great.
In particular, I couldn’t give up on this even if I didn’t know anything else.
I decided to speak directly without wasting time.
“Isn’t it tax free?”
“Yes?”
Tax exemption was a benefit given to all S-class heroes in other countries.
“Why. No?”
“Oh, no. Yes. Available.”
The chief of staff was taken aback at the sudden direct request, but the answer came back in the affirmative.
There may be other benefits, but I don’t know.
However, I wondered if there would be a benefit as great as this for a person who earns a lot like me.
In particular, the A-rank monster corpse caught this time will cost a lot of money.
If you earn a lot of money, the amount of tax you take away is considerable.
So, without knowing anything else, I wanted to take care of duty free.
And I wanted to reduce my work as much as possible.
“I’ll take care of things that I think are dangerous.”
“Ah…. Yes.”
This was the default in any country.
If there is no promise to protect the nation’s crisis, there is no reason to hold onto the S-class Awakener while giving benefits.
Such crises do not come as if they were eating rice, and they happen more than once a year.
Other than that, I didn’t want to care too much.
The hunting efficiency in this world was too low, so there was also a lack of motivation.
“Let’s talk to CEO Hanna about the rest.”
“Yes?”
I told Hannah in advance.
It was a waste of time to talk to a middle-aged man by spending time on trifles.
There was also a reflection of her face to let Hannah know that he was giving her negotiating power to some extent.
Talking on the phone and talking in person like this feel different.
“Ah, I’m sorry, but if you don’t let it go, I have no intention of leaving either. Don’t worry too much.”
I’m not patriotic, but it was comfortable living in a familiar place.
The chief secretary didn’t say a word to me and just stood there blankly.
I don’t know what I was expecting, but when I saw the middle-aged man’s face, I didn’t want to have a long conversation.
“Then I just get up. Representative Hanna, please take good care of me.”
“Yes. Leave the rest to me.”
“Now, wait.”
The chief of staff seemed to grab him from behind, but he ignored it.
So I said only what I had to say, left Hannah behind her, and left.

He was returning home in the back of a luxury sedan provided by the company.
Jina Kim was driving.
The sun goes down….
She had nothing to say to her, so she quietly and blankly watched the sunset outside her window as it passed by.
“Have you eaten?”
It was Kim Jin-ah who opened the door first.
“Me? I still… Have to go and eat.”
“……Would you like to have a meal together?”
“……..What?”
“I said I would treat Unho to a meal.”
To think that Kim Jin-ah, who hadn’t been able to get over it even if he twisted it like that, suggested it first… It was something to be done after becoming an S-class.
I’m such an easy guy….
That’s right.
“The meal is good.”
A meal with a beauty was always welcome.
“……I will guide you.”
Kim Jin-ah led me to the hotel restaurant.
‘A hotel… Can I expect something like this?’
My heart was excited with anticipation.
And the hotel restaurant was already reserved.
‘Hmm…Did you expect me not to refuse?’
It wouldn’t have been difficult to anticipate that he was an easy man who was weak to Beauty because he had seen it all along.
If so, Kim Jin-ah’s plan was a success.
‘Do you have anything to say?’
She cut the steak neatly laid out on the table.
“Do you like me?”
Kim Jin-ah was straightforward, but I also answered honestly.
“Well… That’s right.”
“I… I am not pretty. Are you okay though?”
Was a beauty
‘Am I not aware?’
I can’t see her as a gorgeous beauty like Hannah.
But neat short hair that comes to the neck.
Charming eyes that look a bit sharp without double eyelids.
It felt like an elegant and classy oriental beauty.
“You are a beauty.”
“I… You mean?”
I don’t know if her face was from the wine or my compliments, but she was slightly flushed.
It was still pretty.
“Are you not interested in the CEO?”
“Yes.”
Hannah is also beautiful.
She would be lying if she said she wasn’t interested.
A bit of an absurd expression passed over Kim Jin-ah’s face at my unstoppable answer, but she sighed and said,
“……Huh……That was a stupid question. I want to tie you to the company.”
Came to the point
‘Is it because of that? But I don’t think Hannah would have ordered it.’
Just looking at it, the two seemed to have a very trusting and close relationship.
Although she had her purpose, she didn’t care.
“I have no intention of being tied down.”
No matter how much I liked women, I hated being tied down to something.
It is for that reason that she lived a Simmani life alone during her time as a non-awakening hunter.
“Is that so too? Are you thinking of leaving the company?”
“Well…I don’t have much of an idea right now….”
I don’t know what people do.
I was honestly satisfied with my current life.
I didn’t think the relationship with the company was bad either.
It was strange to think badly of it since I had been working on it most of the time.
Of course, now that I have been recognized as an S-Class Awakener, it might be a bigger benefit to do something that used to be business alone.
But that had to be followed under the precondition that I worked hard.
Of course I didn’t mean to.
“Are you saying that the current relationship is okay?”
“Yes, if you do it like now, nothing will change unless something special happens… If Jin-ah puts in some effort, won’t you become more attached?”
I think it’s a good opportunity, so I secretly appeal.
“Whoa… You can’t help it.”
“Then?
Jin-a nodded her head as she gently touched her.
Her face was slightly red, and she seemed to be ashamed.
‘S, did you accept it?’
“What if I pretend not to know and leave?”
He could have literally fucked her and pretended not to know.
“Then there is nothing you can do. I must blame my eyes.”
It is a situation where she gives up her body for her own purposes.
But I’m not a saint, so I didn’t care.
In fact, it is also true that if Jina becomes my woman, she has no choice but to pay a little more attention to her request.
In any case, I called for joy in my heart.
She quickly stuffed the remaining meat into her mouth and headed to the hotel room with Jina.
