Chapter 169

"I like their logo. It's shaped like a wave. It reminds me of the sea."

KangYoon frowned after hearing the unreasonable explanation. "What's?"

Shin-oh family's patriarch, Shin KangYoon, and Shinsung Group's beloved, Kim EunAh, looked at each other.

A ki fight between both had started.

* * * *

The Shin-oh family was famous among hunters.

Patriarch Shin KangYoon was a rank 7 hunter. He'd married Yu MinSeo, who was from a family that owned a large guild. Thanks to that, he'd obtained money and power. He was quite a famous person in the hunter world.

To think that a 17-year-old kid would dare challenge him.

KangYoon did his best to ignore EunAh and looked at Vice President Kim SungHan.

"I think that it would be better to discuss this on another occasion."

He wanted to continue somewhere without EunAh present, but she had no intention of letting him go.

"But Father is a busy person."

'She has talent in wracking someones nerves'

KangYoon had made a mistake in considering EunAh as just a kid. After all, she'd received elite heir training since she was a toddler.

"Dad, think about it. The difference between the Shin-oh family and that Wave or whatever its called guild is almost double."

As EunAh began supporting him, Terrian's eyes started to shine, and he began trying to make his appeal.

"That's right! We've already prepared residences for our guild members, so we can reduce it even more. Once the subjugation is done"

"Metro City's underwater monsters outbreak the gate leading to the sea was closed, right?"

"We've confirmed 14 rank 5 monsters and also detected mana above that level."

"It's clear that there isn't a boss. Three rank 6 hunters should be more than enough. Is there a need to call on the Shin-oh family?"

EunAh didn't lack even compared to the specialists hired for the subjugation.

As the flow began moving in Terrians favor, KangYoon couldn't keep his calm demeanor. "Vice President Kim SungHan, I'll repeat it once more That's like playing with the lives of civilians and the city's safety for the sake of money."

"That's" Kim SungHan fell into thought while playing with his glass.

EunAh clicked her tongue in disbelief. "Father, I'm not saying we should save money. Rather, we should spend it wisely. With such an amount of money, it would be better to ask for support from Metro City's guards."

After completing a city patrol and gaining real-life experience, EunAh became a stronger opponent than KangYoon had initially thought.

"Metro City's guards already have a contract with the city and our group. Even if it's an outsourced request, hiring one costs about 300 USD. How many floodgates are connected to the gate?" EunAh asked him to get some precise information.

Terrian replied with a smile, "There are four in a radius of 1km. We just have to control the ones flowing into the sea. The area around it is about 500 meters, so 40 extra people should be more than enough."

"What's the difference in cost?"

"Wait!"

Money-related topics were sensitive to everyone. KangYoon tried to stop him, but Terrian didn't mind him.

"12 million dollars!" Terrian quickly said to EunAh. He was sure that she was on his side.

"I'm embarrassed to talk highly about my little brother, but still, he's a very good prospect who's very dedicated."

"Huh?!"

EunAh pointed to the picture in surprise, and Terrian made a proud expression. "As expected. You've heard about him. Leon is a Seven of the prestigious Italy's Bianca Academy."

EunAh hadn't pointed to Leon. Her interest was in Adela, who was standing next to him while making a blank expression.

"Why is she here?!" EunAh shouted in surprise after seeing her 'previous' rival.

At an archery dojo in Japan, Sakura, who was wearing neat clothes, put down some snacks and tea next to SiWoo.

"The green tea can be a bit bitter. That's also why I've prepared yokan for dessert."

"I can't get used to that way of speaking and those clothes," SiWoo complained as he grabbed a yokan.

Slide-

Sakura smiled like a fox and sat beside him. "You don't like them?"

"That's not it It's just that you look different from usual." SiWoo avoided looking at her.

It seemed like Sakura was having fun messing with him. "Can I take that as you think I'm pretty?"

"As you wish."

SiWoo took a bite of the yokan, and Sakura's mischievous side emerged. "You shouldn't eat it like that."

She turned toward SiWoo and pointed to the line on her yokan.

"You need to cut it first. See how the colors are different? Their taste is different too."

Sakura grabbed the yokan and put it in SiWoo's mouth. "How does it taste?"

It seemed like SiWoo thought that showing awareness of the situation was equal to losing, so he just ate it while trying to remain calm.

"Well It isn't bad."

Seeing SiWoo flustered stimulated Sakura's playful side. "Why is your face red? Do you have a fever?" Trying to act as if she were worried, she touched his forehead.

"A f-fever?! It's nothing of the sort, so get out! The sun has set. Why are you entering a man's room? Aren't you afraid?"

Sakura sighed.

She'd noticed it, but SiWoo was old-fashioned in things like that. However, that made poking fun at him more entertaining.

"Of what?"

At Sakura's question, Lee SiWoo coughed. Sakura mumbled in a low voice. "And, well SiWoo, unlike how you might look at first glance, you're manly, fun to be with, and hard-working."

Then she moved closer to SiWoo and whispered into his ears. "I wouldn't mind it"

Lee SiWoo's face went red.

"Hey! What!"

Sakura laughed and smiled at him. "It's a joke~ A joke."

SiWoo and Sakura had become close enough for him to go and visit her on the weekend.
