Welcome to Dungeon Hotel - Chapter 68

At that time.

 

Hunter Association President Kim Junsoo left the meeting room after finishing the meeting.

 

His jacket was draped over one arm, and his shirt was rolled up in the other.

 

“Do you want me to hold your jacket?”

 

His secretary Myunghan asked, but Kim Junsoo refused.

 

He pointed to the smartwatch he was wearing on his arm.

 

“Shouldn’t everyone see this brilliant appearance? Huh?”

 

The smartwatch was a new model bought by Junghyo.

 

“…Everyone must have seen it since you boasted so much from the beginning of the meeting.”

 

“No, no. There may be people who haven’t seen it!”

 

It was impossible.

 

Because they’ve seen his smartwatch well on his appearance in every schedule for several days already.

 

All the employees in the association were whispering, “What on earth is that smartwatch?”

 

“By the way, is that brat Han Minhyuk okay? That brat didn’t listen when I told him to get another checkup at the National Hunter Hospital….”

 

Junsoo let out a deep sigh as he talked about Minhyuk.

 

After Minhyuk returns alive from the S-Class dungeon, Junsoo secretly pays attention to Han Minhyuk.

 

It couldn’t be helped because he was an old friend, although he usually acted like an antagonist.

 

“The healer told me about his condition, and he said he was really fine. He said there was a scar on his shoulder, but he said it seemed to have healed already.”

 

“Is it healed?”

 

“Yes. Isn’t he probably using a potion? The healer joked about whether an S-Class healer accompanied him.”

 

Even when Junsoo thinks about it, he still finds it strange.

 

This time, the rank of the final boss detected in the ‘Castle of the Demons’ is EX-Class.

 

It was out of class.

 

It means that even if there were two S-Classes, it was a level that was difficult to handle.

 

I don’t know what caused the sudden dungeon flooding, but Han Minhyuk explained that he could also go through a similar dungeon and come back alive.

 

—Stats have temporarily increased.

 

‘Is it because of dungeon energy?’

 

—Maybe.

 

Han Minhyuk replied calmly, but the explanation actually made no sense.

 

It is flooding in which C-Class becomes B-Class or re-accidental sometimes occurs, but it’s flooding when S-Class becomes EX-Class.

 

The difference in energy required between the flooding of C-Class becoming B-Class and the flooding of S-Class becoming EX-Class was huge.

 

There is a saying that the difference in strength increases by a square number as the rank increases.

 

‘Did you eat some kind of elixir? It’s like a secret elixir. I heard that some kind of potion was passed between the raid members.’

 

Kim Junsoo heard that a fairly high level of mental attack blocking potion was circulating among the raid members at the time.

 

It doesn’t make sense for one person to make such a good potion in large quantities, so he must have spent quite a bit of money on something like the Alchemist Association.

 

‘Anyway! Take care of yourself from now on, punk!’

 

—….Tut–Tut….Tut…

 

That’s how the call ended.

 

Junsoo clicked his tongue as he pondered over the brief phone call he had with Han Minhyuk.

 

“What do you mean an S-class healer? There’s no way Yoojun that brat would heal Hanwoon’s guild leader.”

 

Yoojun, Korea’s only S-Class healer, was like a dog in the Baekho Guild.

 

He doesn’t know why that fool is so tightly bound to the Baekho Guild.

 

“Nevertheless, it is not. I was going to report it today, but I heard that Yoojun will come out to the free agent market at the time of the expiration of this contract.”

 

“Yoojun is leaving Baekho?”

 

“Yes. He will only join the last raid.”

 

“Why all of a sudden? That brat gave up his American citizenship and hung himself only on Baekho.”

 

“I don’t know, the reason is not yet known.”

 

“Huh… really…”

 

Ah, wait.

 

No way, could it be that Han Minhyuk really recruited Yoojun?

 

The contract period has not ended, but is it a situation where he’s already helping in secret?

 

Junsoo suddenly felt a boiling competitive spirit.

 

Kim Junsoo’s competitive spirit toward Han Minhyuk was running rampant from the moment he saw the photo of the sea that Han Minhyuk sent to him yesterday.

 

The leader of the Hanwoon Guild punk

It’s a picture sent by Junghyo. The sea was beautiful.

 

You hung up on me like that!

 

You even exchanged pictures of the sea with Junghyo!

 

Kim Junsoo was burning with jealousy that was ambiguous to say where.

 

‘This is an obvious provocation. I’ve been to Junghyo’s guest house and bragged about it several times in the chat room!’

 

Of course, it wasn’t just a few times, it was dozens of times, but Kim Junsoo, who had completely erased that fact through self-justification, turned on the light in his eyes and clenched his fists tightly.

 

“No! S-Class healers must be brought to the association! Does it make sense that one guild monopolizes S-Class healers in the first place? I was upset that Baekho took it away, but Hanwoon couldn’t take it away! Never!”

 

Then, Myunghan’s cell phone rang.

 

After receiving the phone call, Myunghan’s expression immediately hardened.

 

“…What? S-Class…? An S-Class has appeared? Did you check the documents to confirm that the person is a non-combat type? Then that person is either a healer or a producer! First of all, contact the public relations team to make sure the media is controlled, and prevent S-class from leaving the room. Do you understand? Wait a second… That name…  What’s her name?”

 

Myunghan’s soul is escaping from his face.

 

“Lee Junghyo…?”

 

The moment he heard that, the president of the Hunter Association dropped the jacket on his arm.

 

* * *

 

It must have been 10 minutes since I was trapped in the space where the awakening machine is located.

 

I was soon moved to the president’s office and met Uncle Junsoo.

 

“…U, Uncle…”

 

“Junghyo-ya…”

 

“H, how did this happen…”

 

I mean, I don’t even know what happened.

 

I couldn’t understand that the awakening machine was forcibly shut down because of only a D-Class Awakener, and I couldn’t understand more that all the facts were revealed to Uncle Junsoo in 10 minutes.

 

However, since I had decided to inform Uncle anyway, I explained everything to him as calmly as possible.

 

From the fact that I had awakened to the fact that my awakening class was a bit unusual, and that I was told that I was an S-Class paladin thanks to that awakening class.

 

“Are you saying that you are that S-Class Paladin! You saved Porter Hong Sungoh?!”

 

Uncle’s eyes widened.

 

“No… so my awakening class is… it’s a hotel manager.”

 

“….!”

 

Junsoo’s eyes widened.

 

“Then the S-Class healer who saved Han Minhyuk a few days ago….”

 

“S-Class healer? Ah. I did go to deliver coffee. I happened to help with the treatment.”

 

“…Coffee…?”

 

“Because the hotel has a good coffee machine.”

 

Due to the nature of the class, I had to take care of the guests’ food, clothing, and shelter.

 

Uncle was quiet after that.

 

When I looked at Uncle’s face while he was thinking hard, I was a little nervous because he seemed to be very angry.

 

It was then.

 

“Then… Your secret, not me but Minhyuk, who knows first…? Really…? Junghyo… Our Junghyo… Last time you said I was the only one….”

 

Uncle muttered with a sad face.

 

“How could you talk to Han Minhyuk first?!”

 

“Because Uncle Minhyuk is in danger?”

 

…No, more than that, I think the focus of getting angry in the first place is a bit off!

 

“Still, I thought I would tell you when I registered for Awakening and finished the contract with the Hanwoon Guild.”

 

I was trying to appease Uncle, but Uncle’s face suddenly turned cold.

 

“Wait. Where and what are you doing?”

 

“A contract with the Hanwoon Guild. A few days ago, Uncle made a scouting offer.”

 

“W, what? N, no! He can’t take our Junghyo away!”

 

It’s not being taken away, it’s a contract, right?

 

But Uncle was already on the verge of something.

 

“Secretary Lee! Bring the contract right now! The contract I was going to give to Yoojun…No, wrote a new one and brought it with more conditions!”

 

…?

 

Uncle called secretary Lee Myunghan before I could stop him.

 

And soon, the contract that appeared hotly printed in front of me had a down payment of 2 billion won written on it.

 

In addition, this news quickly entered the Hanwoon Guild, and as soon as I left the Hunter Association building, I was called to Minhyuk’s office.

 

“I heard that Kim Junsoo talked about a 2 billion down payment.”

 

Uncle sitting in front of the glass window showing the high-rise building looked ominously solemn.

 

“Oh, that’s….”

 

“This side will be 3 billion. It is the same amount as Han Woohyun’s ransom.”

 

“Money is not important to me…”

 

“The treatment will also be the best.”

 

That’s it, of course, I know. I know.

 

Shortly after accepting the messy Hunter Association contract, I was called to the Hanwoon Guild.

 

In fact, it wasn’t that I wasn’t fascinated by the Hunter Association’s contract.

 

‘If you come to the association, you can hide the hotel’s identity at the national level. Not only that but you can be treated as a semi-official. Including you and the manager you mentioned, of course.’ 

 

It was a very tempting proposal.

 

Being able to hide the identity of the hotel, being treated as a semi-official, and a down payment of 2 billion won.

 

“C, can I think about it a little more?”

 

It wasn’t a matter of money.

 

The conditions seemed to be similar, but they were subtly different, so I worried a lot.

 

“…I hope it doesn’t drag on for too long. For your safety.”

 

After Uncle’s words, I left Uncle’s office.

 

And while waiting for the elevator, I saw the manager’s KakaoTalk message on my cell phone.

 

Manager

 

(Photo)

 

Yes. How are you doing? By the way, I copied the latte art the boss made and ruined it ㅠㅠ Please come back soon~

 

I didn’t even tell her to learn how to make latte art, but she made a ruined heart, took a picture of it, and sent it to me.

 

I’ve hired someone who’s sincere in many ways.

 

I was thinking about asking Miyeon for a moment which one to choose between a 3 billion and a 2 billion contract, but I closed my cell phone.

 

Then the elevator door opened on the 7th floor.

 

A man in a semi formal-suit and wearing glasses stood in the open doorway.

 

Dressed as an office worker, he was definitely the face I knew.

 

It’s Han Woohyun.

 

Ah, come to think of it, this was the Hanwoon Guild.

 

I waited for him to get on, but he didn’t get on, just standing still and looking at my face.

 

And at that moment, a strange window popped up.

 

The ‘VIP guest’ is confused about whether this is a dream or real life.

 

The satisfaction level of ‘VIP guests’ increases.

 

…?

 

The elevator door started closing automatically.

 

I hurriedly pressed the open button and grabbed his hand.

 

“What are you doing? You have to come in.”

 

Why are you distracted?

 

Anyway, he’s a bit clumsy.
