-TWO DAYS LATER-
-TIME : 9:45 P.M-
Jinhyuk , Sumi , Minji and Sophie all gathered at the airport as they had their flight scheduled . Sophie had her flight the next morning so she just came to see them off . Sumi and Sophie were chatting with each other as Jinhyuk was sitting on one of the chairs in the waiting lounge . He was scrolling through his phone as Minji came and sat beside him . He looked towards her once before turning the phone off . He turned towards Minji
"So , what are your plans after I join the Guild ?"
"Plans , huh …? I guess you could go to some dungeons to gather experience on hunting"
"Alone ?"
"No . This is your first time inside , so I will send a guild member with you but you have to go in alone or in parties eventually"
"I'm scared "
"Don't be . I am not a monster"
Sumi and Sophie came towards them as she said
"Jinhyuk let's go . Our flight has been announced "
"Alright"
They both got up and headed towards the immigration counter . They completed all the necessary procedures and headed towards the flight gate . Their gate number is 2 which they found out very easily .
They went inside the plane and occupied their seats .
-17 HOURS LATER-
-INCHEON INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT-
They all got off the plane as they came out of the airport after picking their bags . Seol-ah came to receive them . She called out to them as they went towards her . It was her first time seeing Minji so Jinhyuk introduced .
"Seol-ah , this is Deok-gu's cousin , Kim Minji"
"Hello Minji , I am Cha Seol-ah . Nice to meet you"
"Y-Yeah , its nice to meet you too"
"Sis , can you please take Minji and go . I have somethings to discuss with Seol-ah"
"Alright"
Sumi didn't ask anything as she agreed and took Minji with her as she went forward . Seol-ah was confused as to why Jinhyuk send them but then he turned towards her .
"Seol-ah , listen . I have some important things to tell you"
"I'm hearing"
"To put it simply . Minji has yet to awaken her mana which is dormant inside her"
"And ?"
"Its too big"
"The mana pool ?"
"Yes"
"Is she an A-Rank ?"
"No . She is a S-Rank"
"What !!!!!?"
"Yes "
"But …."
"I know . It's impossible but it's the truth"
"Then Korea will get another S-Rank ?"
"No . I will make her evaluation A-Rank"
"How ?"
"A seal on her mana . It will be temporary but it will be enough until her evaluation ends"
"Then ?"
"She will join our guild"
"That's a relief "
"Please make preparations for her membership and keep her file confidential . Only you , me and Sis will know"
"Understood"
Seol-ah and Jinhyuk followed Sumi and Minji towards the garage . Jinhyuk's car was parked inside . Seol-ah came here with a cab so she also got in Jinhyuk's car . She warned Minji to fasten her seatbelts . Minji was confused at first but when Jinhyuk pressed the accelerator she understood why she was given the advice .
Jinhyuk's car rushed through the busy streets of Korea as they reached the guild . Seol-ah got down of the car and came near Jinhyuk's window .
"Oppa , come to the guild after you drop the others"
"Why ?"
"Who is the Guildmaster ?"
"Ah , okay"
"Good"
Seol-ah went towards the building as Jinhyuk frowned his face . He turned towards Sumi as he said
"Sis , please do something . She is turning into you"
"What's that supposed to mean ?"
"Intimidating like you"
"I will say she is a good girl"
-sigh-"Who am I even talking to ?"
Jinhyuk forwarded his car as both Sumi and Minji let out a chuckle . Jinhyuk entered the car inside his complex and parked inside the garage . Minji got out of the car as she couldn't believe her eyes . She has only seen images of this place as the safest place in Korea . She also wished to stay here but the prices of the apartments made her forget the thought . She couldn't believe she is now inside the complex . She turned towards Jinhyuk with a spark in her eyes . He noticed it and smiled .
'I bet the real surprise is upstairs'
They all entered the lift as Jinhyuk clicked on the floor of his apartment . As they entered , Minji was shocked again . The huge place which was like an entire villa . The view which was like a dream .
"You will stay here as well " said Jinhyuk
Minji turned towards him with surprised look . She stuttered while speaking
"I-I w-will s-stay h-here ?"
"Yeah , why not ?" said Sumi
"But..."
"Leave your buts . You will stay here because you have a secret"
"I understand"
Jinhyuk nodded his head before turning towards the direction of the bedrooms . He shouted
"Bastard , come out !!!!"
Minji was surprised to hear him shout . Sumi noticed it as she smacked Jinhyuk . He bent forward while holding his head .
"Don't shout infront of her"
"Sorry"
Deok-gu came out of the room . He had bags under his eyes , his face was dry . He came out and looked up . He first saw Jinhyuk and Sumi but as soon as his eyes fell on Minji his face brightned up . He rushed towards her as he picked her up in excitement . Minji was surprised by the sudden hug as she said
"O-Oppa ?"
"Don't speak . You don't even know how worried I was"
"It's alright now"
Minji patted Deok-gu's head . Deok-gu let her go as he turned towards Jinhyuk
"Thank you Jinhyuk"
"When did you start to become grateful" said Jinhyuk (unbelieving tone)
"I really am now"
"Look , don't mention it . You are my friend after all and childhood friend at that"
"Alright"
Jinhyuk smiled a little . He turned towards Sumi as he said
"Sis , take care of these two . Let them have their reunion . I am gonna go to the guild"
"What about dinner ?"
"Order from outside . I will bring Seol-ah on our way back "
"Okay "
Jinhyuk left the room as he headed downstairs towards the garage . He took the car and went in a direction opposite to his guild . He was headed to the car wash . His car was like the lower version of abandoned car . He reached the car wash as he washed his car thoroughly . He paid the bill and headed towards the guild . He reached there , parked the car and headed inside .
He received many greetings as he replied to everyone and headed towards his office . He entered his office and found that Seol-ah was already there . She looked towards her watch and said
"Thirty minutes late"
"Sorry , I had to take the car at wash"
"What will I do with you ?"
"Hehe"
Seol-ah placed a file infront of Jinhyuk as he sat down . She opened it and said
"This is the estimation of the net worth of the guild , the monthly income and the record of raided and non-raided dungeons"
"That's quite a lot"
Jinhyuk looked through the papers as his eyes widened upon seeing the net worth .
"300 billion won !!?"
"That's right"
"Our guild has 300 billion won as it's net worth ?"
"Yes"
"It also has a monthly income of 2 billion won ?"
"That's right"
"Ohh , I became a billionare"
"Congrats"
"Thanks"
"What will you do with all the money ?"
"First , let me complete reading it"
"Alright"
Jinhyuk read through the documents of the dungeons . It said that his guild has 35 raided dungeons and 42 non-raided dungeons . From the raided ones , there are 21 C-Rank , 10 B-Rank and 4 A-Rank . The non-raided ones are 22 C-Rank , 15 B-Rank and 5 A-Ranks . He was quite impressed .
"Seol-ah , what do you wish to do ?"
"I think investing the money will be a good choice"
"Alright , I will separate somethings . 200 billion won will be invested by the finance team and the 100 billion will be given between us . Each of the S-Ranks will get 20 billion each . How does that sound ?"
"Impressive"
"Thanks but we have to make sure we don't become too greedy otherwise…."
"I know Oppa"
"Good"
"Oppa , these are some papers you have to sign"
"Alright , how many ?"
"150"
"What ?"
"I'm sorry"
"What kind of absurd number is that ?"
"That.…"
"No , don't apologize . I'm sorry for putting the load on you"
"Not a problem"
"Now leave . I will sign these now and head home"
"Okay"
Seol-ah was about to leave as Jinhyuk said
"Seol-ah , complete your work fast . You will come home with me"
"Why ?"
"We are having a small party"
"Sounds fun "
"Yeah . Sis told me to bring you"
"I will go"
"Complete everything then meet me here "
"Okay"
Seol-ah left . Jinhyuk clenched his fists and submerged inside the pile of papers .
