Episode 50
<Glory Guild. The gate that appeared in Dogok-dong was cleared up in an instant!>
<Famous! Glory Guild beat the 5-star (★★★★★) level of difficulty in 10 minutes!>
<Heroes of Glory Guild taken with a drone (PHOTO)>
<Great power!! Goo Geon throws five monsters at once (PHOTO)>
<Hunter Association “This gate has not had the slightest delay since its inception… … .”>
└After all, it’s Glory Guild. I’m sure the performance is good.
└How much money do you receive from the country? Of course it has to be like this.
└It was cleaned up in 10 minutes after the gate opened.. It’s faster than a delivery app, right?
└The jurisdiction is wide. No matter what, I would appreciate it if you could resolve it so quickly.
└Why are there only pictures of the ugly Goo Geon? We want a picture of Maria!!
“hmm… … .”
Checking public opinion by reading articles every morning.
This is an old habit of Goo Geon, the representative of the Glory Guild.
If we had simply focused on increasing the guild’s power, we would never have gotten to this point.
Gu Geon paid special attention to not only secret backroom dealings with the Hunter Association, but also to creating public opinion.
They paid enormous advertising costs to newspapers and broadcasters, and took legal action immediately if any critical articles appeared.
It doesn’t matter whether you win or lose the lawsuit.
Lawyer fees are a joke considering the Glory Guild’s funds.
He just wanted to show off.
‘If you touch the Glory Guild, you will definitely get tired.’
Is it thanks to that?
Recently, critical articles about the Glory Guild have been sparse.
‘This is enough.’
Goo Geon quietly clicked the down button in response to a mocking comment about his face and smoothed his chin.
The chief secretary said that he leaked the source material to the Joongan Ilbo in advance, and some pretty good photos came out.
There is no picture as perfect as a photo of catching a monster in the field.
The battle movements of the hunters and the blood of the monsters splashing here and there.
Is there any scene that is as dynamic and stimulating as that?
He boasted that he had imported a state-of-the-art drone from the United States, and the quality of the photos was truly top-notch.
Click.
After deleting the name of Glory Guild in the search box, Gugeon quickly entered the name of one person.
Cheon Hae-seon.
A man who made a brilliant debut as an ‘S’ rank hunter, but is actually not doing anything.
Goo Geon had reporters spread Cheon Hae-seon’s ‘responsibility theory’ in the media.
The main argument was that talented people should not be confined to a corner of their room.
And when Cheon Hae-seon finally takes action, the first destination will most likely be the Glory Guild.
It is true that there are some unpleasant experiences, but you can pay for that ‘uncomfortableness’ with money.
Gugeon has witnessed countless times how human emotions are resolved through money.
It’s not just money.
Glory Guild can provide ‘growth’ that cannot be achieved anywhere else.
There are a number of ‘S’ rankers here who will pass on their know-how to him, including Maria, who is also an ‘S’ rank healer.
Even if you prioritize your own growth rather than money, in the end, the only option is the Glory Guild.
Of course, it would be a different story if he started a guild on his own, but it was absurd for a new hunter who had not even reached adulthood to create a guild.
“I feel warmed up at this point… … .”
Even if it’s an ‘S’ ranker, a kid is still a kid.
When people throw things at you one after another, your mentality is bound to be shaken.
If you live in an open building, you definitely won’t have any financial resources.
Cheon Hae-seon will take action.
No, we have no choice but to take action.
Gu Geon had that confidence.
Until I saw an article related to Cheon Hae-seon that suddenly became a hot topic of news.
<Cheonhaeseon! His hidden whereabouts are revealed!>
<Unsung Hero Cheon Hae-seon. It is said that he has been quietly solving the poison dungeon.>
<The Poison Dungeon has drastically decreased in a month. The reason was S-rank hunter Cheon Hae-seon.>
<Looking at the extraordinary good deeds. Cheon Hae-seon was working harder than anyone else… … !>
<Clean Up Clan shrouded in mystery. Who is the striker who helped Cheon Hae-seon?>
“what’s this?”
As if they had been waiting for just today, a ton of articles came out.
The headlines were different, but the content was all the same.
Cheon Hae-seon goes around erasing poison dungeons with the Clean Up Clan.
Gugeon’s face, which was leisurely browsing articles, soon became crushed like a piece of toilet paper.
And the more I read the comments below, the deeper the wrinkles on my forehead became.
└Wow. What did Cheon Hae-seon do? He was serving?
└You just picked the poison dungeon and robbed it. Isn’t this the level of talent donation?
└That’s right. The Poison Dungeon is like a time bomb. I feel uncomfortable when I’m nearby.
└Are you secretly doing this kind thing, Cheon Hae-seon?
└Even though ‘that guild’ is within the jurisdiction, they just do nothing. Is this what class is like?

└Hey, does anyone know about Cleanup Clan?
└No one will know, right? Because disclosing the list of clan members is not mandatory.
└They could have received billions, maybe tens of billions, as down payment. Joining a clan and doing bad things…isn’t this really a hero?
└It looks like there are more Clean Up Clan members than you think. Well, any knight would be reassured if Cheon Hae-seon supports him from behind.
‘These rats… … .’
Seeing the people talking randomly, Gugeon felt like his blood was rushing.
The current public opinion was to completely destroy the ‘design’ that Goo Geon had done so far.
The ‘responsibility theory’ that says that since you were born with the greatest talent, you must do your duty.
Unfortunately, Cheon Hae-seon had already performed his duty perfectly.
An S-rank hunter enters a dangerous and unprofitable dungeon and secretly clears it.
As written in the comment, isn’t that what a ‘hero’ is?
Even if someone had laid the groundwork to create a star hunter, it was a development that would make one nod.
‘Strange.’
After sorting out his confused emotions, doubts welled up in Gu Geon’s heart.
It wasn’t some vague denial of reality.
The fact that all the articles were published all at once means that there was a kind of ’embargo’ in place.
This cannot be done unless you maintain close relationships with various media outlets like the Glory Guild.
A hunter who has just finished his probationary period can control public opinion?
This is an absolutely impossible story.
Moreover, didn’t Cheon Hae-seon avoid reporters to the extreme?
Looking at the wording of the article, it was properly countering the public opinion created by Goo Geon.
Cheon Hae-seon, who is a minor, is waging public opinion wars with an embargo on media outlets?
Gu Geon shook his head.
He concluded the following:
‘There is someone.’
This is not Cheon Hae-seon’s work.
Someone who was as good at scheming as he was came forward and helped him.
If you look at the actual article, there is nothing that Cheon Hae-seon said directly.
It is possible to speculate that someone who knew Cheon Hae-seon’s whereabouts intentionally spread the information.
‘no way… … .’
There was one group that came to Gu Geon’s mind.
An organization that is close to media companies like themselves and can influence public opinion.
‘Hunter Association’
But Goo Geon shook his head vigorously again.
This is because there is no way the Hunter Association would do something like this for Cheon Hae-seon.
You could tell just by looking at his facial expression when he was taking the qualification test that he didn’t trust the Hunter Association.
The association is also deeply displeased with the crooked Cheonhae line.
Above all, the vice president’s son, who should be in the spotlight, has now become a half-asshole.
Of course, it’s not because of Cheon Hae-seon, but there’s no way Cheon Hae-seon looks nice to the vice president.
‘Not even Cheon Hae-seon himself… … . Who are you if you are not an official of the association? … ?’
Goo Geon roughly strokes his spiky hair.
It’s a unique habit that comes out when frustration reaches its peak.
I thought that in just a little while, I would be able to embrace the baby who was pushed around by public opinion.
Gu Geon let out a deep groan at the unexpected ambush that he could not identify.

[Hunter, Hunter!!]
As soon as he answers the phone, Yuk Cheol-wan starts making a fuss.
[You look full of energy this morning.]
[Have you seen the article???]
[no. I slept until just now. I’m inside the KTX right now.]
[Ah, I see. Hunter. The world is going crazy right now with Hunter’s story!]
[yes? why?]
[As the rumor spreads that we are raiding the Poison Dungeon, people are praising Hunter!]
[…] … Wait.]
What are you talking about?
I switched the phone screen and tried accessing the portal site.
And I realized that what Yuk Cheol-wan said was true.
When I went to the news home screen, I saw that all the media companies were putting my story on the front page.
[…] … It’s true.]
[Ha ha ha ha ha! Hunter Haeseon Cheon. People are finally recognizing Hunter’s true value! It’s really refreshing!]
Yuk Cheol-wan bursts out laughing, happy as if it were his own work.
He always got angry when he saw articles related to me.
People are criticizing me without knowing anything.
Every time that happened, I said it was okay, but Yuk Cheol-wan got excited, saying it was clear that there was a slanderous force behind it.
Basically, I don’t really care what people say.
There is no way that correct information will be delivered anyway, and it is ridiculous to say, ‘Please evaluate it this way.’
Anyway, the situation seems to have changed a lot due to these articles.
Looking through the comments, I see a lot of friendly responses to me.
There were even people who apologized, saying they were sorry for thinking wrong all along.
[I thought you were only skilled on the battlefield. You really have a deep heart. I knew you could use the media so well at such a young age. I feel ashamed of all the joys and sorrows I have had.]
[Eh?]
wait for a sec.
Are you sure you think I did this?
[Eh… … What do you mean? Didn’t Hunter Cheon Hae-seon leak it to the media?]
[No. I don’t even read the articles that are published. Isn’t that what the clan leader did?]
[I’m not either?]
[Eh?]
There are a total of two people who went to the Poison Dungeon with me.
Yuk Cheol-wan and Bi-su.
Bisu, that can’t be possible, so we exclude him, and the only person left is Yuk Cheol-wan.
It seems that Yuk Cheol-wan thought it was me who did it.
If not all three of us, then who are we?
[No, what the hell is this… … .]
Yuk Cheol-wan’s confused voice is heard over the phone.
In the first place, not many people would know the process of conquering the Poison Dungeon.
Some people in the black market may know this, but they are shadowy figures.
So who on earth did this?
[ah.]
[…] … !! Hunter Haeseon Cheon. Are you pointing out something?]
[There is. A person worthy of that.]
there was.
A person in a group who is good at handling the media like this.
Beyond knowing about dungeon raiding, the person who ‘requested’ the job was there.
A man with horn-rimmed glasses raising his thumb floats out the window.
haha.
Is this what it means to provide support in both material and spiritual ways?
I’ve never really wanted it, but I’ll accept it gratefully.
‘Director’.
* * *
Cheeeeeeeeeee.
As I received welcome greetings pouring in from all directions, I couldn’t help but smile.
At that time, I deliberately pretended to be dead.
But there is no need for that anymore.
Because ‘he’ would know that he is a human being who can survive even in this vicious poison gas.
A tremendous amount of things have changed.
A man who didn’t know how to properly use the poison in his body is now appearing in the newspaper as an ‘S’ rank hunter.
Dr. Jin.
I have grown this much thanks to your device.
Squeak… … .
Dr. Jin remained the same.
The plump and cute physique and the timid movement of opening the door are no different from before.
Oh, one thing has changed,
The look in his eyes that was full of caution behind the gas mask has changed to ‘welcomement’.
“Haeseon!!”
Dr. Jin approached me with a grinning smile, opened his arms and hugged me tightly.
“Nice to meet you, doctor.”
