"LET’S ET at the agreed date, Big 4! Make sure to bring Chu Wonhee! You can’t hide her from APA forever!"
Yejun rolled his eyes at what Kwon Jiwoong said while running.
Yes, the APA President hurriedly left the room.
[I think I heard his secretary say that Cyborg Hyung was leaving.]
Why was Hamin there in the first place?
Yejun realized that he didn’t have to worry about that because Semi and Soobin were glaring at him.
[Thank goodness Master already left to check on Do Ahyeon.]
"Chu Wonhee just fulfilled her duty as my Guide, so don’t scold her," Yejun said. He knew that Semi and Soobin noticed the different glow in his eyes– the glow that practically announced that he had been intimate with Wonhee in the dungeon. "I don’t need to explain, but I’m saying this much because I don’t want you to bring this up with Wonhee. All Soobin Hyung and Semi Noona have to know is that everything that happened between and Wonhee is completely consensual."
Since he put it that way, Soobin and Semi couldn’t say anything.
[Because we shouldn’t be talking about this anyway.]
"Wow, Hwang Yejun," Graham said sarcastically. "You were never this considerate about other people before. Have you changed because of Chu Wonhee?"
"Who gave you the permission to call by my full na without honorifics?"
"I’m older than you, punk."
Yejun smirked at Graham. "Hey, I’ve gained half of my sanity now. Call ’hyung’ since I cleared the dungeon alone."
Graham clicked his tongue. "I was hoping you wouldn’t rember..."
Yejun raised an eyebrow at Graham who imdiately caved.
"Hyung."
"Good."
"It’s good to see the two youngest are playing well, but let’s talk business now," Song Moonho said, smiling. "Yejun-ah, how much for the giant white tortoise’ corpse?"
"I’d like to buy the monster’s eyes. They’re made of precious gems that can withstand my fla," Graham said, and then he turned to Song Moonho. "You don’t need the eyes, do you?"
Song Moonho nodded. "I just need the body."
"Then I’ll buy the monster’s tongue," Semi said. It looked like she had given up on threatening Yejun. "The monster’s venom seed to be stored in its tongue."
"I’ll take the shell," Soobin said, and it sounded like a command rather than a request. "It will make an excellent material for my new weapons."
[These greedy people...]
"I’ll sell them to you," Yejun said, smirking. "But I don’t need your money– let’s just do a trade."

"THEN I’LL be back."
Yool bowed politely to Yeon Suk-yong, Wonhee’s grandfather, who checked on Ahyeon’s condition. "Take care, Mr. Yeon."
The A-Class Hunter grandpa just patted Yool’s shoulder before leaving the room.
Now, it was only Yool and Ahyeon there.
By ’there,’ he ant a guestroom in the Blue House.
"Ahyeonnie, you worked hard," Yool, sitting on the chair, said to Ahyeon who was sleeping on the bed. "Thank you for protecting our Wony."
Ahyeon, of course, didn’t respond.
[I’m just glad that he’s fine.]
Jang Semi fed Ahyeon a few potions earlier, and she assured Yool that Ahyeon had just drained his Mana.
[They said they’ll send a Guide for Ahyeon.]
Yool still rembered his conversation with Guildmaster Hamin and Chef Ryung Dae when the two visited Ahyeon earlier...
["Yool-ssi, we’ll send a Guide for Ahyeon. I’m sorry, but we need to leave. President Kwon is hunting our Guildmaster."]
["Do Ahyeon no longer belongs to the Fall Guild, but we’ll make it official later."]
Yool was curious about what Guildmaster Hamin ant by that, but he didn’t get the chance to ask.
[But what’s important is they’ll send a Guide for Ahyeonnie.]
As if on cue, he heard a knock on the door.
Yool was surprised by who entered the room.
[Song Moonho and his Guide?]
"Yool-ssi, my Guide will provide Guiding to Do Ahyeon-ssi," Song Moonho said. "Do Ahyeon-ssi doesn’t have an exclusive Guide. Mid to lower-ranking Hunters don’t have that privilege."
"But Guildmaster Hamin and Chef Ryung Dae said they’ll send a Guide for Ahyeonnie."
"I already talked to them, and they agreed to let my Guide provide Guiding for Do Ahyeon. Fortunately, Shun is nearby."
"I wasn’t," guro Shun grumbled, pouting. "Moonho-san summoned here."
Song Moonho just smiled and pretended he didn’t hear guro Shun’s complaint. "Anyway, we suspect that Do Ahyeon has leveled up. And, so, it’s better for an A-Class Guide like Shun to Guide him right now. Hamin-ssi and Chef Ryung have the sa thoughts as well."
"Is it really okay to do that?" Yool asked worriedly. "We’re not sure about Ahyeonnie’s level yet. And is he compatible with Guide guro Shun?"
guro Shun scoffed at Yool’s worries. "If I can Guide Moonho-san, I can Guide anyone below his level."
Ah, that was a valid point.
[guro Shun is an elite A-Class Guide, after all.]
Yool was worried, but he figured Song Moonho wouldn’t put Ahyeon in danger since it looked like everyone was interested in Ahyeon at the mont.
[And I know Ahyeonnie needs Guiding right now.]
And, so, Yool bowed his head politely. "Please take care of our Ahyeonnie, Guide Shun."
guro Shun just scoffed before approaching the bed. "Please give us so privacy. I’m just gonna hold Do Ahyeon’s hand, but I still want my privacy when working."
Yool and Song Moonho left the room, and then they stood side-by-side in front of the door.
It would have been fine, but a certain old man was making the situation awkward.
"Ahjussi, why are you staring intently at ?"
"You’re adora–"
"I’ll kill you if you finish that sentence."
Song Moonho chuckled, and then he dropped a ridiculous question. "Yool-ssi, aren’t you a Guide yet?"
"What the hell are you saying?"
"I have a feeling that Do Ahyeon’s level advancent was influenced by Chu Wonhee. So, I wonder if Chu Wonhee has the ability to awaken people who are close to her."
"What a crazy theory," Yool said sarcastically, wondering if Song Moonho was on the verge of insanity to spout such nonsense. "But even if your theory was correct, why would you assu that I’d be a Guide?"
Song Moonho smiled charmingly. "Because I want you to be my Guide, Yool-ssi."
[Crazy old bastard.]

IT WAS a very looong day.
Wonhee actually wanted to talk to Geon, but before she knew it, she had already fallen asleep.
"My little sleepyhead, should we go ho?"
Yejun’s soft voice woke her up.
She couldn’t open her eyes, though.
Wonhee unconsciously leaned against Yejun’s warm and solid body when he carried her in his arms. "Is it okay if we go ho first?"
"I did my part, so it’s their job to clean up after my ss."
Ah, he must be talking about the Big 4.
"My family..."
"I already told them I’m taking you ho first."
"Okay, let’s go."
Wonhee almost fell asleep again.
Almost.
But she forgot two things because of her sleepiness.
First, Yejun’s teleportation skill would take them ho in only a few seconds.
Second...
"What the hell happened while I’m gone?"
Oh!
Wonhee imdiately opened her eyes, now fully awake.
The first thing she saw was Yejun’s shocked face while looking around her ssy penthouse.
A barrier covered the broken glass walls.
The broken pieces of glass were already cleaned up, but the destroyed furniture and appliances were still there.
To simply put, it was obvious that there had been a fight there.
"I forgot to tell you, Yejun-ah," Wonhee said, smiling apologetically at Yejun. "I was attacked by square-headed villains. And I’m currently living with Semi Unnie’s house."
Yejun looked shocked, and then he let out a sigh. "Let’s spend the night in my Inventory, Wonhee-ya."
