“Congratulations on your promotion.”
Maria congratulated Jeong Soo-min, her eyes sparkling like a clear lake. It was a congratulatory remark from the most beautiful and competent Hunter, yet Jeong Soo-min's expression wasn't entirely pleased.
“It's just that there was a vacant position.”
Team Leader Jeong Soo-min. No, the man who had now risen to the position of department chief gave a bitter smile. The bigger and sturdier a fortress wall, the more unstoppable it becomes once it starts to crumble.
The current state of Glory Guild was exactly like that. The missile Do I-su created to crush the Association's old guard had affected other groups like a stray bullet. Countless people who had been leeching off the corrupt powers in the shadows were implicated one after another, and it was especially severe for Glory Guild.
“Two-thirds of the executives are being arrested or investigated. I'm just filling in for what the Guild's senior members should be doing.”
However, contrary to Jeong Soo-min's modesty, his standing within Glory Guild had become incomparably solid compared to before. The day the Chimera appeared a few days ago. Of two teams with similar skills, one was annihilated, while the other managed to calm the situation without any significant damage.
