Chapter 412

Episode 412

“Thank you for your cooperation.”

“Just pass through the inspection gate like this.”

Wearing a suit that feels awkward at any time, Shin Yoo-seong underwent a body search and identity check.

‘Should I call it Eunah’s mansion? Even the number of city guards standing guard is huge...’

Of course, the difference from before was that Shin Yoo-seong wasn’t the only guest at Eun-ah’s mansion.

“Long time no see.”

“I heard there is some pretty good news in Jinsan.”

“The news is fast. But today, let’s talk about work later. Wouldn’t it be better to see the president now?”

“haha! you’re right. Since you invited us to this kind of event, it is only natural that we greet you first.”

Even the two people who were talking right in front of their eyes were the guild leaders of Jinsan and Myeongwol. It was one of the top 5 guilds along with Yoo Min-seo’s Yusu family and Shin Oh’s family managed by Shin Kang-yoon.

Of course, it wasn’t just Hunter-related people who were invited.

“Oh, is our big star here? I heard that you are busy with overseas schedules, but what are you doing in Korea?”

“It’s a seat prepared by the president, but is the schedule a problem? How much do I owe?”

There was a wide variety of celebrities, from famous celebrities who can be recognized just by looking at their faces, to big names in the political world. There was no need to explain how great the position of Chairman Kim Seok-han of Shinsung Group was, since the entire mansion was even crowded with such celebrities.

However, Shin Yoo-seong was a VIP invited by Kim Eun-ah, who stood out among these celebrities.

“Shin Yuseong! I was waiting! I am the one who will guide Shin Yoo-seong at this banquet!”

Thanks to this, Kim Eun-ah even sent a dedicated guide to Shin Yoo-seong. The man wearing hair gel in an antique tuxedo greeted Shin Yoo-seong with a 90-degree straight bow.

“Nice to meet you.”

“As expected... as rumored, he is a very handsome man. He has participated in numerous banquets, but he is truly... unique.”

As soon as Geil saw Shin Yoo-seong, he sincerely admired it. The story of a young lady from Shinsung Group, famous for her high nose, falling for a male student from Gaon was rumored in the social world.

No matter how Shin Yoo-seong is a newcomer who dominates the hunter world, Kim Eun-ah was bound to have a higher degree of attention from the social world.

‘I was wondering what kind of boy captured that tomboy girl famous for his high nose... I guess I can see it myself.’

Rather, Gil was not interested in the Hunter world to the extent that he did not even know Shin Yoo-seong’s name. However, Shin Yoo-seong’s appearance made him understand in an instant that he was faced with it.

“Then, I will serve as the introduction of the banquet hall until the young lady arrives.”

“Ah yes thank you.”

With a smile on his eyes, Gil pointed to the inside of the banquet hall with both hands and led Shin Yoo-seong. On the table placed on the grass, Shin Yoo-seong’s first food and beverages were set with bent upper legs.

“It’s basically a buffet party, but if the food isn’t to your liking, you can order a separate menu from the usher.”

Geil was worried that the party food might not suit Shin Yoo-seong’s taste, but Shin Yoo-seong did not even hear such a story.

Shin Yoo-seong settled down and ate dozens of different types of food, from dessert canapes to barbecue sandwiches. ‘It’s amazing... It’s the first

time I’ve ever had a guest like

this at a home party...’

‘No matter what food you eat, it’s really delicious. I’m sorry to Sumire, but... some dishes...’

I felt guilty, but I couldn’t help it. Some of the banquet dishes tasted better than Sumire’s. In fact, it was right that there was no way for Sumire to win since the best ingredients were prepared by the best chefs.

‘...I really enjoyed the meal.’

Shin Yoo-seong, who finished the meal with an angle for 30 minutes, greeted Sumire with a little sorry. The quick-witted Seil pointed to the table next to Shin Yoo-seong as soon as he finished eating.

“They’re already playing table games over there. Well, the game H&M is very popular these days.”

“H M?”

“You don’t know? A hologram table game recently announced by Shinsung Group! As soon as it was released, it achieved the No. 1 market share in offline stores and pockets!”

Apparently, Geil was a big fan of HM or something. As soon as he brought up the story, watching him excitedly explain it, Shin Yoo-seong gladly suggested it first.

“Then shall we try it?”

“clothes! Are you sure?”

He was so happy that a man older than himself would play table games with him, so why couldn’t he?

Shin Yoo-seong smiled and headed to the next table, and Geil continued to explain excitedly.

“H&M stands for Hunter & Monsters! The way to proceed is also simple. Use monster cards and hunter cards to reduce your opponent’s points to 0 and you’re done! Is it really that simple?”

Shin Yoo-seong sat down after being familiar with the simple rules from the guide. The opponent was a middle-aged man wearing glasses.

“No, but that old-fashioned bowler hat... is that person...”

But at that moment the air changed.

“Huuuu... To press the attack button without a doubt against a trap card theme... Even if you’re lucky, a beginner is a beginner.”

Geil smiled and activated the combo card he had laid out.

[Reflection Barrier]

[Combo Card]

[Effect: Reflects an attack received by the player to all opponent monsters at 1.5x ATK.]

Bang!

Daddy Bear’s red nails hit the blue reflective barrier. The reflected red light poured down like an explosion toward the bear family. Even a jar of honey was meaningless in front of the power of combo cards.

– Kiek!

– Kyaaak!

Yooseong Shin could hardly keep his mouth shut as he listened to the screams of the dying bears. Shin Yoo-seong, frustrated with victory right in front of his eyes, shook his head devastated.

“My bear family...”

“Oh my God... I had to have that card...”

The development after that was natural.

– You are defeated.

– Winning player Mr. Chen.

Yoosung Shin was defeated and Mr. Chen was victorious. Yoosung Shin continued as if possessed and played three more games, but there was no further reversal.

“Hehe, I have a lot of willpower, but this is not a game that can only be played with the mind. All of this requires a high degree of brain warfare.”

Yooseong Shin sat at the table in a state of dismay, listening to Mr. Chen’s advice.

“Shin Yoo-seong, if you do this... that’s it. If you did this for your first game, you did really well.”

Even Zeil, now a colleague, shook his head. Geil couldn’t see Shin Yoo-seong being defeated mercilessly anymore because of his regret.

But then.

“What are you doing? I thought he was eating, but he looked everywhere.”

The appearance of Kim Eun-ah drew the attention of the people who were playing the game.

“Oh, is that it? That card game that your brother made as a whole? How many times have you won?”

“That’s...”

If the subject was a battle, Yuseong Shin would have folded Mr. Chen’s spine in half in an instant, but this was a card game.

Even the opponent, the world of professional matches in this field was a harsh law for losers.

“I lost all four times.”

“what? 4 times? It won’t work. Beat Yooseong 4 times?”

Kim Eun-ah frowned at Mr. Chen at the news that Shin Yoo-seong had been killed. After playing table games for no reason, the atmosphere turned strange, and Mr. Chen broke into a cold sweat.

“Because it’s just a game...”

Fortunately, however, Mr. Chen was not kicked out by the City Guard. Rather, Kim Eun-ah made a very unexpected proposal.

“Stick with me.”

Despite Shin Yoo-seong’s worried expression, Kim Eun-ah strode towards the table. And Kim Eun-ah, who turned her back to Shin Yoo-seong before sitting down, said this.

“In this game instead...if I win. Yoosung, you have to stay with me all day, okay?”

It was a story full of determination, like a hunter leaving for a difficult dungeon.

“...huh.”

Shin Yooseong then laughed.

Kim Eun-ah learned to sit down without giving up. It was Shin Yoo-seong who taught me that.

“The card theme is Treasure Goblins.”

Eunah Kim chose a non-mainstream card theme. Treasure Goblins was an unpopular card theme due to its unstable effects, where all cards depended on chance and luck.

However, Kim Eun-ah had a strangely strong luck at an important moment. The touch was too good.

It was good to call it a talent because it was out of the category of simple luck.

Pew-! pop!

Firecrackers of beautiful victory exploded towards the sky. When the game was over, Kim Eun-ah looked at the sky. She suddenly laughed at the stars embroidered in the night sky.

“Ah, it’s harder than I thought...”

Kim Eun-ah was defeated.
