The Skill Maker-Chapter 115
Chapter 115
“I’m glad you’re here . We were discussing about how much information we should reveal regarding the colorful portal . ”
Kim Yoo-Na greeted him warmly because Hyun-Soo contributed a lot during this hunt .
However, Leon didn’t know the reason, so he felt displeased .
“Technically, we only participated, so we need Xeon’s agreement . ”
“What is Team Xeon suggesting?”
Leon looked a bit uncomfortable, but he replied .
“There’s…really no need to reveal it . ”
“Then, Yoo-Na is on the side of wanting to reveal it . ”
Since they’ve been through a lot, it’s understandable that they would suggest that .
On top of that, he probably felt that there wasn’t a need for Yoo-Na to have control over the information .
Hyun-Soo agreed with that .
‘Even if we reveal it, there’s a lot of people that won’t be able to use it anyways, so it’s better to boast about it a little’
Another reason was to annoy the higher-ups .
There was no reason to give them more power when they were trying to control the hunters for their own selfish gain .
‘Our life is on the line as well . ’
Many lost their lives because they didn’t have enough information .
Of course some would still die even if they had the information .
Just in this portal, they managed to avoid death four times thanks to Hyun-Soo .
No one knew how things would turn out .
However, if another hunter decided to hunt in this portal and they were given information about it, wouldn’t their chance of survival increase?
Hyun-Soo agreed with Kim Yoo-Na .
“I also agree with Kim Yoo-Na suggestion . ”
A frown appeared on Leon’s face .
And he glared at Hyun-Soo .
If his glare had a physical form, it would be a knife and that knife would probably stab Hyun-Soo several times .
But his expression changed because of Kim Yoo-Na .
‘Oh……?’
He suddenly started understanding what David and Ismael said .
“But, Yoo-Na . Think carefully . This could be our strength . Don’t you think that having power is important? This could be that power . Think carefully . ”
Leon ignored Hyun-Soo and started persuading Kim Yoo-Na again .
The conversation turned into him trying to persuade her .
Hyun-Soo now understood why Ismael and David asked him to pull Yoo-Na away from Leon .
“Hm, I see . You’re right about that . What do you think, Hyun-Soo?”
A frown appeared on Leon’s face when Kim Yoo-Na asked Hyun-Soo .
Hyun-Soo looked straight at Leon and spoke .
“You can’t call that power . If we succeeded in clearing another colorful portal, that small power won’t have much of an effect, so I think it’s better not to stock up on them . ”
Under the condition that they clear another colorful portal .
They won’t be able to get much out of this small information .
Team Xeon lacked the power to clear the portal by themselves while Kim Yoo-Na’s clan could clear it many times .
And Leon wanted to gain power over one data when they’ll be able to gain plenty . Hyun-Soo had a hunch of how powerful Leon was .
Maybe Leon what Hyun-Soo was implying .
Now Leon looked really mad .
“This isn’t something we should be discussing with a member . ”
It was obvious that he wanted Hyun-Soo to go away .
“Leon, my clan makes decisions based on everyone’s opinions . And Hyun-Soo’s opinion is more important . ”
“More important…? How come?”
“That’s something you don’t need to know . ”
‘Wow . ’
Hyun-Soo couldn’t hide his surprise when he heard her reply .
Kim Yoo-Na wanted to protect Hyun-Soo’s secret and didn’t want to reveal the clan’s primary power .
The issue was that she rejected without any hesitation .
“I-I see . I guess I overstepped my boundary . ”
Hyun-Soo felt bad because he was a leader of a clan, but he couldn’t do anything in front of Kim Yoo-Na .
Leon was attacking Hyun-Soo, but Kim Yoo-Na was the one that put him in his place, not Hyun-Soo .
He was probably doing that to look good .
Leon was now beyond mad .
Kim Yoo-Na noticed that Leon tried to keep calm, but he wasn’t able to hide his anger .
“Yes, that’s right . ”
On top of that, Kim Yoo-Na was straightforward .
It didn’t seem like she felt sorry for him because she spoke very calmly .
But that wasn’t the case for people that were listening .
‘Wow…… . ’
Hyun-Soo kind of felt sorry for Leon .
Kim Yoo-Na must’ve reacted that way because of how Leon was acting before .
Since she was there with the members and not by herself, it was understandable as to why she was watching over the members .
‘Tsk, tsk . Looks like you just revealed your weak point . ’
And he’s trying to team up with Kim Yoo-Na again .
Is he just brave or shameless?
Team Xeon was one of the well-known guilds and Hyun-Soo started question whether a clan has to be shameless in order to become bigger .
“I think it’ll be good to reveal the information . ”
“No, Yoo-Na . Don’t you think it’ll be better to think about it again? This is our chance . ”
They’ve had that chance many times .
That’s why they weren’t hesitant about revealing the data .
Kim Yoo-Na looked like she was contemplating for a bit .
“Then, let’s not reveal it . ”
Was her answer .
A bright smile finally appeared on Leon’s face, but .
“But, we’ll reveal it starting from the next hunt . ”
A frown appeared on his face again .
That meant .
‘There’s a chance that this alliance will break . ’
The reason for her deciding to reveal the data starting from the next hunt was simple .
Do what you want this time .
Because there won’t be a next time for you .
They had different opinions, so there was no reason to stick together .
The alliance was formed today, so it’ll be a problem if things go wrong already .
And that alliance is leaning more on one side anyways .
‘Breaking the alliance may be better than having him as an ally . ’
Hyun-Soo thought deeply .
Kim Yoo-Na’s clan will become the best .
Because he was going to make it the best .
But he didn’t like having a fishy guy like him in the group .
On top of that, as time passes, Leon will definitely take more control .
It was obvious that he had the better future .
Those that have discerning eyes will be able to read the flow and do something about it .
‘We have nothing to lose . ’
He was worried about the alliance breaking up because he got involved .
But Hyun-Soo soon realized that there was no need to worry about that .
Was it because Hyun-Soo looked more relaxed?
Or was it because he understood his place after what Kim Yoo-Na said?
Leon looked like he was about to bite his lips, but a soft smile appeared on his face .
But Hyun-Soo’s eyes were fixed on Leon’s fist .
“I think your suggestion is a lot better . Let’s do that . We’ll keep getting more of these data anyways, right?”
“I’m sure . So, are we done? Let’s get the corpse and luggage we brought and leave . We’ll be heading to our base, so make sure to follow us . ”
Kim Yoo-Na gave a small nod .
Kim Yoo-Na walked away from Leon, just like David and Ismael had hoped .
Since Kim Yoo-Na wasn’t there, there was no need for Hyun-Soo to stay there .
Right when Hyun-Soo was about leave, he heard Leon’s whisper .
“…Don’t think it’s going to end like this . ”
“Did you even start something? I can’t really tell . ”
“Haha, you’re funny . ”
“Really? Well, I guess it’s a relief since you thin it’s funny . I’ll be taking my leave . ”
Leon continued glaring at Hyun-Soo with a smile .
But his eyes were different .
‘There’s no need to be afraid of someone like him . ’
Hyun-Soo just smirked .
***
“I’m overloaded with work because of you guys . ”
Herhim called a few days ago .
Even though he was old, many considered Herhim as a legendary hunter .
He was just exaggerating so that others would hear his complaint .
Hyun-Soo had no choice but to visit the black market .
Herhim asked him to come with Kim Yoo-Na .
Thanks to that, Hyun-Soo rode in Kim Yoo-Na’s red sports car .
Hyun-Soo was now used to greeting the people there and when entered the deepest part, Herhim greeted them .
“Welcome . The two hottest people are here in my office!”
Herhim opened his arms while greeting them .
Hyun-Soo felt like he needed to run to Herhim and give him a hug .
In American movies, the characters do that when they haven’t seen each other for a long time .
Hyun-Soo kind of wanted to do that .
“Mr . Herhim, why did you want to see us?”
Kim Yoo-Na must’ve felt the same way because she lightly pushed Herhim’s arm .
“You youngs ones aren’t romantic at all . ”
“I’m sure you didn’t call us just to complain . ”
“Amd I not supposed to?”
“……Mr . Herhim . ”
Kim Yoo-Na quietly said his name .
Herhim coughed and motioned them to take a seat .
“Since you’re here, let’s take our time . If it weren’t for you guys, I wouldn’t have time to rest . You guys are 80% of the reason why I’m so busy, so let me complain . ”
Kim Yoo-Na thought it was absurd, but decided to listen .
Hyun-Soo suddenly became the culprit, so he quietly sat down .
“You didn’t bring it with you today?”
Even though the subject was missing, Hyun-Soo knew what Herhim was talking about .
“Riri, come out . ”
Riri grew a little after consuming the monster’s skill .
Her physical form didn’t change, but it was easy to tell by how she acted .
Before, she was like an innocent child that was just born into world, but now, she knew what she liked and disliked .
Kyuuuuuu .
Riri, who was inside Hyun-Soo’s hood, released a small cry .
She was being more cautious than usual, which meant that she wasn’t going to leave Hyun-Soo’s hood .
“Riri?”
When Hyun-Soo called her name again, she flew out with an unsatisfied look on her face .
After spinning around Hyun-Soo once, she carefully sat on top of Hyun-Soo’s hand .
“Oh! So you did bring it . Great!”
It was obvious that Herhim liked it .
Herhim liked interesting things, so Riri was a monster that Herhim really wanted to have for himself .
“There was something I wanted to give Riri . ”
Herhim looked through his desk drawer after saying that .
Moments later, he took out…
‘Energy Stone?’
It was an Energy Stone that had a green light .
Kyuuuuu?
“It’s a present for you . ”
Hyun-Soo wasn’t sure if Herhim was really rich or if he was really obsessed with Riri .
The Energy Stone was worth over a million dollars and if it wasn’t for Herhim, Hyun-Soo wouldn’t have believed that it was a real Energy Stone .
“Is it okay…to give that away?”
