Chapter 17 A Prestigious Raider Familys Youngest Son (1)

After JaeHyun left, Re-Enews shop manager, Park Jin-Cheol, received a few more customers.

Most of them were all rich 2nd or 3rd generations with inflated self-esteem and a love for spending money. They thought of the legal gambling of unappraised items as a fun game.

Well, thats how Im able to earn my living.

Park Jin-Cheol sold items to them by outwardly acting amiable while inwardly scoffing at them.

However,

there were also customers who were hard to deal with.

One of those was Baek JiHyun, who was currently browsing through the shop.

The state of the items today doesnt seem to be very good is this everything?

Ack, yes. Thats right. These are all the items that were brought in today.

That cant be.

Baek JiHyun muttered while crossing his arms.

The woman who was the guildmaster of Curator had the Unique Skill Insight that could discern precious objects.

Based on her Unique Skill, she helped the Curator Guild make great progress and grow into one of the top five wealthy merchant guilds in Korea.

Although it wasnt a guild that fought on the frontlines, her guild had also brought great influence to the country.

Recently, thanks to their gaining fame abroad, the evaluation of their guild was rising with each passing day.

Although she had such great fame, for some reason, she didnt look very happy today.

It was because of the items displayed in the shop.

No matter how I think about it, its strange.

She crossed her arms and thought intently, but she still couldnt understand right away.

Baek JiHyun usually visited Park Jin-Cheols shop Re-Enew to buy items. It was because using her skill allowed her to quickly find good items in Re-Enew, and those items could also be used in business.

But today, no matter how she peeled her eyes open, there were no items that gave off a good aura.

Why was that?

Baek JiHyun carefully looked around while chewing on her lower lip.

It was something she couldnt understand at all. Normally, at least one or two C-rank to B-rank items would be displayed.

At this juncture, there was a 6% chance for C-rank or above items to appear.

At this time, there should still at least be some C-rank and above items remaining

It really is strange

Just looking around for a moment could show that there were almost a hundred items in the store. Did it make sense that there wasnt even one C-rank item among them?

After contemplating for a moment, Baek JiHyun strode over to Park Jin-Cheol. Looking like he had seen a ghost, Park Jin-Cheol hesitantly shrunk back.

That woman! What mess is she going to make this time

Because of her ferocious temper, Baek JiHyun usually caused incidents wherever she went.

There had been a time in the past when Baek JiHyun harassed Park Jin-Cheol over the fact that there werent any items in Re-Enew that she liked, making him deathly afraid of her.

Baek JiHyun asked Park Jin-Cheol, who was smiling while trembling, in a fierce voice.

There must be a person who came before me and bought items here. And one that swiped all the good items at that.

What?

At Baek JiHyuns cold stare,

Park Jin-Cheol fumbled and continued to talk with a look of bewilderment.

Th-There was one, but It isnt something that Ms. Baek JiHyun should pay attention to

Thats for me to decide.

That person who swiped all the items here. Who the hell was it?

E-Even if you are a guildmaster, asking me to expose someones private information is

Baek JiHyun narrowed her eyes at Park Jin-Cheols ambiguous words. At the same time, the air turned cold and war clouds hovered in the store.

A-Aack! This crazy woman is at it again!

When he took a few steps back in alarm, Baek JiHyun approached him again with a sadistic expression and shortened the distance between them.

It seems that you are looking down on our Curator Guild.

Heuk!

It was clearly a threat. A drop of cold sweat flowed down from Park Jin-Cheols forehead.

I-I understand. Pl-Please calm down. Ill tell you

According to the law, it was illegal to give out the private information of buyers.

But in a world where strength had become everything, getting marked off by a top guilds master was the same as never opening shop again. In this situation, the only choice was to bow ones head.

Folding his body in half, Park Jin-Cheol spoke in a very shaky voice.

Min JaeHyun That was his name.

***

Just his abilities made him a worthwhile connection to have, but if he could use Lee JaeSang as an excuse to get closer to the Lee family while helping them reduce their shameful burden, he would be able to obtain a better card.

The problem was that to meet the current Lee JaeSang, he had to go to Millaes Academy.

Millaes Academy is an exclusive area. Outsiders arent allowed in at all.

But this didnt apply to JaeHyun.

He had already proudly passed as a prospective student at the academy. There were few certificates that were as effective in this world as a Millaes ID.

I should take a portal.

After arriving at the station, JaeHyun talked to the guide so he could take a portal.

Hello, I would like to take a portal.

Where would you like to go?

To Daegu.

At his answer, the employee looked a bit surprised but quickly put on a bright expression.

That was something he expected.

In this world, Daegu was already closed off due to demonic creatures. The current Daegu was a place where magic poured out from all sides and where youd have to worry about your life the moment you stepped in.

But there was a single reason people still went to Daegu.

Are you a student at Millaes Academy?

No. Im still a prospective student.

After simply confirming his qualifications with a smartphone app, JaeHyun took the portal.

With a bit of motion sickness, his mind blinked out like a lamp before returning quickly.

It was very momentary, but from the perspective of the person going through it, the portal was quite befuddling. Like with seasickness, one felt waves ripple through the mana in their body.

<A moment later>

The portal took JaeHyun to the portal station in the center of Daegu.

Surrounded by a blue light, he took a step forward as he muttered.

Its been a while. Coming here.

JaeHyun looked around with a sentimental expression.

The place was as gloomy as he remembered and dotted with a disgraceful past.

A plant growing randomly stuck out from a crack between an abandoned building and the concrete. It was akin to an apocalyptic setting that appeared in games after a nuclear war had gone off.

After a moment of hesitation, JaeHyun cleared his mind and took a few steps. A little further from where he was was the main entrance of Millaes Academy

a place which, to him, was very familiar and filled with memories.

JaeHyun took quicker strides and muttered in a calm voice.

Now, shall we go in?

He didnt have the luxury of spending a long time being immersed in memories. JaeHyun quickly got out of the portal station and walked to the main entrance of the academy.

Although the area was shielded by temporary magic, it was nevertheless dangerous. This was because there were still a lot of demonic creatures roaming all around.

In a kind of instinctive action to avoid being noticed by demonic creatures,

JaeHyun slowed his breath.

***

Having arrived at the Millaes Academy after some time, it was still emitting a high-pressure atmosphere.

JaeHyun squeezed between tall buildings and headed to the main gate.

The time was currently 1PM. The academy was also on winter break, so classes should already be concluded at this time.

It should be anytime now.

JaeHyun stood in front of the main gate of Millaes Academy and put his hands in his pockets. Lifting his head and looking up, his sight was caught by the tall building in front of his eyes.

It was on an enormous scale that made it look like it combined 5 to 6 large university buildings.

Millaes Academy occupied all the restored area in Daegu, an abandoned city destroyed by the creation of magic, so the size was overwhelming.

While he was busy admiring, JaeHyun heard the voices of the cadets leaving school. He looked at the faces that were returning to the dormitory from afar.

30 minutes passed in that manner and then an hour.

JaeHyun waited for a long time, but he couldnt see Lee JaeSangs face anywhere.

Where is this bastard. Phew

JaeHyun stood right in front of Millaes Academys gate while scratching his head.

There was no other way right now. He had to go in and look for Lee JaeSang.

Hiding an annoyed expression, JaeHyun talked to the security guard guarding the gate.

Good afternoon.

With a face of innocence he rarely showed, JaeHyun tried his luck.
