Episode 173
Metro City ‘Attack the Underground Waterway’
Shin Kang-yoon felt very sharp when he lost the contract he thought he had won because of Kim Eun-ah.
‘...I said Kim Eun-ah.’
Shin Kang-yoon wanted to cool his head, but Kim Eun-ah’s triumphant expression kept coming to mind and interrupting his rest.
Shin Kang-yoon is a 7th-class hunter and the head of the Shin-oh family. Kim Eun-ah was really nothing but a child.
However, the background of Kim Eun-ah, Kim Seok-han, was a different story.
Kim Seok-han, the chairman of Shinsung Group, is the so-called iron-blooded king of gold. No matter how Shin Kang-yoon, there was nothing wrong with hating Kim Seok-han, the pinnacle of the Korean business world.
‘I’m getting tired.’
Shin Kang-yoon clenched his chin and clicked his tongue. More than anything, Shin Mi-hyang is now aiming for the position of head of household. Missing the contract was the worst timing.
‘...If I don’t do something. It’s really dangerous.’
It all started after Shin Yuseong was abandoned.
The fact that King Kwon suddenly took away his son who had been sent to an orphanage.
The fact that such a son is growing up to be a rookie at the top.
The fact that he was hated by the successor of the Shin-O family.
Now, with that one judgment, Shin Kang-yoon gave Shin Mi-hyang a good weakness.
In the worst case, it was possible for Shin Mi-hyang to hold a general meeting by persuading the 3rd guild master belonging to the Shin-o family.
The position is too unstable to increase the number of enemies. So even now, Shin Kang-yoon had to avoid losing to Shinsung Group.
‘...in between. Seducing the successor of Shinsung Group. You have a lot of talent.’
Let’s think until there. Shin Kang-yoon’s expression hardened involuntarily.
‘...no. Was this revenge planned from the beginning? He must have put Kim Eun-ah in the party just for this moment.’
Or something that Kim Eun-ah has no reason to set an edge on herself. Shin Kang-yoon was already convinced.
‘It’s really meticulous to use a party member to stab while hiding his intentions.
Abandoning Shin Yoo-seong was his own fatal mistake. But the mistake had to be corrected.
‘But if I wait a bit, it won’t matter... Hayoon will help.’

Rebellion’s hideout.
Cheet muttered as he stared at the screen of the monitor in awe.
“Hey, can we bet?”
The only thing left in the room with cheats is yourself. Yuwol replied to Cheet with a face that he couldn’t help it.
“A bet. What?”
“They. I heard that you’ve been friends for 10 years, but what kind of expression would you make if you were betrayed by your partner?”
“It doesn’t matter, does it? Anyways...”
Yuwol was tired of cheating.
I just admire Claw who accepts people who say such nonsense. Cheet, who was not sincere in everything, was at odds with himself.
“What do you guys think?”
In response to Shin Yoo-seong’s question, Isshin briefly moved his gaze to his pocket. Then he sighed and said.
“That is a matter that can only be decided with Seiji and Sakura. ...but I can at least convey the words. Sakura is also friendly with that gunman.”
The story that he will somehow convey the message to the party leader, Seiji. Considering Isshin’s personality, this was a clear favor.
“thank you. It is enough for you to tell the story of the union.”
Let Shin Yoosung smile again. Isshin laughed bitterly.
Also the opposite personality.
The person who would make Sumire happy was Shin Yoo-seong, not himself.
“...Coming to think of it, the previous request was presumptuous. Now Sumire and I are party members too. It’s nothing...”
Thinking that, the bitter taste lingers in my mouth again. Isshin sighed and asked cautiously.
“Even so, I ask despite my shame. Yoosung Shin. Sumire... how are you?”
The fact that she worried so much was proof that she cared for Sumire. Shin Yuseong was rather grateful for Isshin’s heart.
“I get along well. Before coming here, we went to Academy City together.”
“...Academy City on the weekend. Right.”
A date that is obvious to anyone.
Isshin couldn’t hide the bitterness on his face. But to Sumire, it was strange that Shin Yoo-seong didn’t go out with her if she was the one she trusted so much.
“Academy City’s parks are rumored even in Japan. I’d love to visit with you. ...because Sumire likes flowers.”
Isshin continued with his gaze fixed on an unknown white flower.
“...And since he likes to cook, it wouldn’t be bad to have a meal with him once in a while.”
Isshin laughed at the fact that he had been kicked out before he even confessed to Shin Yuseong.
Perhaps what he said now were things he wanted to do for Sumire.
“The park is already gone. Have dinner with Sumire. Even in the morning...”
However, at Shin Yooseong’s words with a smile, Isshin suddenly made a puzzled expression. It seemed like an ordinary word, but I couldn’t hear it somewhere.
“...dinner? morning? Does that sound like they spent the night together?”
In response to Isshin’s question, Shin Yuseong answered casually.
“that’s right.”
Yoosung Shin’s simple two-letter answer.
Unlike usual, Isshin was calm and stammered.
“That’s it! what! Did you even share the same bed?”
However, it was clear that Yooseong Shin fell asleep in bed talking about the past with Sumire.
“yes. Because I wanted Sumire to be with me.”
Let’s say Shin Yoo-seong casually saying something that could be misunderstood.
“Ha, but you’re still students...”
Isshin
muttered, his nose bleeding from his runaway imagination.
With such an innocent face, he and Sumire had such a relationship. In the end, Shin Yoo-seong smiled as brightly as before at Isshin, who had a foolish expression.
