Chapter 133

Yu-hyun’s eyes narrowed slightly at the mention of a congressman, then returned to normal.

He had been wondering when this bastard would show up.

Now that the existence of collectors and tellers had become widely known in the world, politicians naturally tried to make connections with collectors.

Yu-hyun was a teller among them.

And not just any teller, but an outstanding one.

He was enough to make politicians drool with envy.

Yu-hyun shook hands with a smile on his face.

“Nice to meet you. I’m Kang Yu-hyun, an assistant at Celestial Corporation’s Story branch. Wow, a congressman. You must be someone very important in this country, right?”

“Hehe. I’m not that important. I’m just someone who was elected by the people. I’m not a remarkable person.”

“Hmm. Is that so? But why are you here...”

Yu-hyun glanced at Baek Seoryeon, who was sitting in the representative’s seat.

She shook her head and signaled that she didn’t know either.

It seemed that Kwon Dongjin had barged in here without giving any hint to Baek Seoryeon.

A one-sided visit?

Yu-hyun evaluated Kwon Dongjin’s behavior as such.

Kwon Dongjin laughed lightly and said.

“Mr. Kang Yu-hyun, can we talk somewhere quiet?”

“Just do it here.”

Yu-hyun refused sharply to Kwon Dongjin’s words.

Kwon Dongjin maintained his smile and slightly changed his words.

“There might be ears listening...”

“The only ears here are the two collectors from our management and our representative. And my business is the management’s business. It doesn’t matter who hears it. And don’t worry about anyone outside.”

Yu-hyun answered without backing down.

“This place is immune to eavesdropping thanks to my special power.”

“...Hehe.”

The two exchanged gazes for about three seconds.

“Then I guess there’s no choice.”

Kwon Dongjin conceded first and went in.

The two sat face to face on a sofa for guests by the window of the office.

Yu-hyun crossed his legs and got straight to the point.

“So why did you come looking for me? It must be a very important matter for someone like you, a congressman, to come all the way here.”

“It could be, or it could not be.”

“I don’t like beating around the bush.”

“Hehe. Then let me ask you directly. Mr. Kang Yu-hyun, do you have any thoughts of joining us?”

“Us? Join?”

Yu-hyun pretended to be surprised by the sudden proposal and asked.

Kwon Dongjin nodded heavily and explained.

“Our party has taken notice of your existence. Especially the skill you showed in raising White Flower Management from the wilderness to here is admirable. So we thought it would be nice to work together and came looking for you.”

“Is that so? But it’s surprising that someone like you, a congressman, would come personally. And to see me, a teller.”

“You seem to have a lot of interest in things related to collectors. You said you fight alongside collectors, right? You gave up your protection, right?”

“You knew that too?”

“When you work in politics, you naturally hear things like that.”

Kwon Dongjin had done a lot of research on Yu-hyun before he came looking for him. His confident tone showed that.

Yu-hyun shook his head.

“You’re overestimating me.”

“It’s not an overestimation. We think highly of you. That’s why we came here personally to propose a collaboration.”

A connection offered by a political figure.

And if it was Kwon Dongjin, he was not just anyone in his party, but someone with a strong influence.

He was even mentioned as a potential candidate for the next presidency.

His hand would look like a golden rope to most people.

A rope that would never break even if the world collapsed.

‘Well, is that so?’

But for Yu-hyun, who knew the future, it was not like that at all.

“Won’t you please join us?”This chapter was first shared on the Ñøv€lß1n platform.

“Hmm. It’s certainly an attractive offer. Especially since you came looking for me personally.”

“Oh. Did it sound too harsh? Well, sorry about that. This is the best I can do with polite words.”

Yu-hyun’s words scratched his insides with a smile, and Kwon Dongjin couldn’t hide his displeasure.

“Teller Yu-hyun. Are you trying to play word games with me?”

“Did it look like that?”

“If you don’t like it, just say you don’t like it. Did you have to say all that?”

“Yes. I had to.”

Yu-hyun’s confident words made Kwon Dongjin speechless.

He didn’t expect him to be so direct.

‘Damn it. Just a teller, and one who doesn’t know anything at that.’

Kwon Dongjin cursed in his mind as he recalled the face of the person who asked him to make the proposal.

He also found Yu-hyun’s existence annoying more than he had been asked.

How dare a teller act like a human?

He came to see Yu-hyun for a simple reason.

He wanted to offer him a partnership and bring him into the organization, increase his connection with Celestial Stock Company, and prevent Teller Yu-hyun from running around freely.

But Yu-hyun had seen through his intentions from the moment he appeared.

He couldn’t back down now that he had come this far.

“Teller Yu-hyun, you’re as rude as I heard.”

Yu-hyun’s open hostility made Kwon Dongjin reveal his true colors.

He didn’t like him from the beginning either.

He was a congressman with a high reputation in the party, but the human management representative didn’t treat him properly, and that arrogant teller acted as if he was looking down on him.

Kwon Dongjin, who had the idea that he was superior to others ingrained in his bones, found those little actions disrespectful.

“Do you think I’ll just sit back and watch you use your teller status to assault someone? I’m a congressman, for God’s sake.”

“Oh, I see. You’ve received the clan’s sponsorship, haven’t you?”

“...Don’t be ridiculous!”

“You don’t have to be nervous. I know everything. Let me see. Several clans must have asked you for favors at the same time. One of them is Hanul, and another is... Twilight Curtain? And there are some other candidates as well.”

“You...”

Kwon Dong-jin felt uneasy, wondering if his information had leaked out. Otherwise, there was no way Yu-hyun knew all that.

He didn’t know that Yu-hyun had skimmed through his book a while ago.

“Since it’s hard to touch Baekhwa Management, you’re going to involve politicians and try something. Isn’t that right? It’s such a blatant action. It makes me sick.”

“Watch your mouth. How dare you talk like that, you mere teller?”

“Because I’m a teller, I don’t hold back. Let me ask you this. What can you, a mere ‘congressman’, do to me, a teller? Are you going to sue me for defamation by your human law? To me, a teller?”

“...Do you think Baekhwa Management will be fine if you keep doing this? Just because we can’t touch you, a teller, doesn’t mean we can’t do anything else. You’d better give up that idea.”

“Heh heh. There it is. ‘Take the people around you hostage’. That’s a very congressman-like way of thinking. I like it.”

“How dare you insult a congressman? We are people who act for justice! This country has its own law, and you are evil, a teller who doesn’t follow it!”

Kwon Dong-jin didn’t like Yu-hyun’s gentle tone from the beginning. It touched his pride in his profession, and he exploded.

Kwon Dong-jin got up from his seat with a snort.

Yu-hyun spoke with a slightly languid look in his eyes.

“Sit down.”

“What the hell...”

“I said sit down.”

The atmosphere around them became heavy in an instant. Kwon Dong-jin felt a chill run through his body and his legs lose strength.

He felt a sense of exhaustion as soon as he felt Yu-hyun’s gaze pouring over his skin.

As he slumped into his chair, his assistant who had been watching him stepped forward.

“Stop it.”

“That’s enough.”

The ones who stopped the assistant were Kang Hye-rim and Kwon Ji-a. The assistant was not an ordinary person, but a collector, but he was nothing against these two.

The troublemaker was gone. Yu-hyun chuckled with his fingers crossed.

“What’s so funny?”

“You say that you act for justice with confidence. That’s an interesting thing to say. Do you think a righteous person would take someone else’s sponsorship and brazenly threaten others?”

“What do you know about justice, you bastard!”

“Well, I don’t really know the criteria for that. But I’m sure there are people who know very well what you call justice, good and evil.”

“What?”

“Don’t you agree? The Holy Ones?”

Yu-hyun said that to the air. Kwon Dong-jin, an ordinary person who hadn’t even awakened, didn’t understand what Yu-hyun was trying to do.

But one person did. The man who came as his assistant became thoughtful in an instant.

“Co, congressman!”

In the assistant’s eyes, the Holy Ones who had witnessed Kwon Dong-jin’s disgrace were glaring at them with a fearsome aura.
