From now on, it was a real game.

AJIN Soft's legal team, led by Jin Ho Yoo, and Scavenger Guild's legal team, led by Laura.

They exchanged numerous documents using all their skills and argued fiercely for a long time.

The scene was reminiscent of a war between hunters and demons, and it was a series of tense tensions without any concessions.

Finally, the outcome of the game was decided.

"It's Suho. We decided to split the net profit exactly 5-5 in half."

Yu Jin-ho appeared in front of Su-ho triumphantly, like a triumphal general who had returned from a victory in the war.

"Instead of spending all of our money to purchase the exclusive rights to the Glacier Dungeon, the Scavenger Guild will take care of all future operations related to the Echo Forest's spring water, including supply and demand, distribution, and sales."

In fact, this was the part that Suho had asked Yoo Jin Ho to do first.

After all, he didn't have the staff to take care of such a thing.

Above all, while he was busy leveling up, he didn't want to be distracted by such business matters.

Suho nodded and asked.

"That's great. So what do I care about?"

"You? You just have to sit back and get a deposit."

It was Yoo Jinho, one eye squinting at Suho's question.

"Don't worry, there's nothing you need to worry about. In the course of our work, we have decided to assign our employees to monitor and supervise them so that they do not mess with the distribution volume or the settlement."

In fact, this was a lot of concessions.

In short, Suho had a monopoly on the spring water of the Echo Forest.

The Scavenger Guild, on the other hand, was a thorough warrior who couldn't get a drop of spring water without a guardian.

Of course, in order for this to be possible, Suho would first have to purchase the exclusive rights to the dungeon from Fa?ade Island, where the glacier dungeon is located, and then take care of the dungeon thoroughly and take responsibility for the safety of the people of the fa?ade.

However, the Scavenger Guild has decided to take over the management of the dungeon, so Suho has nothing to do.

In addition, the money to purchase the exclusive rights to the glacier dungeon was to be paid by Yu Jin-ho.

In other words, AJIN Soft has given a large amount of investment to an individual named Seongsuho.

And AJINSOFT had the rightful authority to monitor Scavenger's every move in order to oversee how the money was spent.

Listening to Yu Jinho's explanation, Suho suddenly saw Laura sighing tiredly in the distance.

'... It's awful.'

Laura was able to experience the notoriety of CEO Yoo Jin-ho, who is famous in the industry.

The process was long and arduous, but in the end, it all came down to the 50% that Yoo wanted from the beginning.

Along the way, Scavenger had no choice but to grant him everything he wanted.

"You've literally been robbed. Is this the position of Eul?'

Even if the Scavenger Guild was the largest Hunter Guild in the United States, its name was still common among the same Hunters.

In the first place, Yoo Jin-ho's AJIN Soft was not even a Hunter Guild, but a completely different business, so he was in a position where he was not afraid of repercussions or anything to worry about later.

On the contrary, he was even the majority shareholder of the Scavenger Guild, so he had no choice but to unilaterally detach from the sword match between Gab and Eul from the beginning.

'But... It's not a bad condition for us. No, it's just too good.'

Laura's wavering gaze landed on Yoo Jin-ho, who was smiling brightly beside Su-ho and Cha Hae-in.

The reason why Scavenger had no choice but to accept all of these unilateral conditions.

It was because of the sweetest offer Yoo Jin-ho had ever offered.

"I can't believe that Scavenger is the distributor of the Echo Forest's springwater. This will at least double Scavenger's brand value among Hunters.'

The value of a guild's brand was not something that could be easily increased simply because it had a lot of money or power.

It was a question of how much the guild could have a positive impact on the hunter world.

"In the end, he's playing the way he wants, but I don't feel too bad."

Is this the CEO of Sangvis businessman Yoo Jin-ho?

Reflecting on the meaning of the name again, Laura sighed softly.

Then he approached Suho again and spoke to him.

"Holy Guardian Hunter."

Suho, who was talking to her mother, turned around, and Laura raised her glasses and continued.

"Now that the business is done, the personal business of Thomas André remains."

"Personal?"

"Our Master would like to thank the Holy Guardian Hunter and the Holy Guardian Hunter's mother for their help in many ways. If you want anything, let me know."

"Oh, that's fine. Thanks to me, I was able to find her."

Suho politely declined.

He entered the glacier dungeon at the behest of Thomas Andre, but it also led to a dramatic reunion with his mother, who had been missing for years.

Rather, it was the guardian himself who should be grateful.

But Laura wasn't going to back down either.

Laura had been Thomas Andre's assistant for decades.

So I knew how long he had been plagued by nightmares and anxiety.

The reason I came to this difficult glacier dungeon was because of Norma Selner's advice that the way to overcome it was in the glacier dungeon.

-Conquer the Thomas Glacier Dungeon and you'll be able to escape the nightmare. However, a hunter named Seongsuho in Korea...

However, it seems that the prophecy has finally come true.

The expression on the face of Thomas Andrew, who giggled as he tormented his men in the distance, brought a smile to Laura's lips.

"... Our master is a man with a strong desire to win, so if you think that you owe him, you can't help but pay him back. It doesn't matter what it is, can you tell me? It's also an expression of my personal appreciation."

At Laura's repeated requests, Suho looked confused.

I thought it wouldn't be polite to refuse to come out like this from the other side.

But there's a problem.

"I don't need much."

I found my mother.

Thanks to the glacier dungeon, he was now making a lot of money.

When I asked him what he wanted out of nowhere, he couldn't think of anything.

'Wait.'

Suddenly, something flashed through Suho's mind.

"If so, can you give me some advanced Magic Gems?"

"Advanced Magic Stone? Absolutely. How much do you need?"

"The more, the better."

"The more, the better...."

At Suho's request, Laura thought for a moment and nodded willingly.

"I see. However, since the supply of high-grade magic gems is so small, it may take a little time to get them. Are you okay?"

"Absolutely."

Suho was well aware of this.

It had only been two years since the Cataclysm occurred, so it was only natural that the amount of high-level Magic Gems was low.

In addition, such items were not easy to obtain for ordinary hunters like Guardian because there were so many companies that wanted them from the Hunters' equipment and the scientific community.

But if it's a large guild, Scavengers, you'll be able to save it with a little effort.

After receiving the answer from Suho, Laura returned to a satisfied face.

Cha Haein asked, looking puzzled.

"Magic Stone? Didn't you ask for a weapon that you could use?"

"A weapon worth it. You've seen Thomas Andre marvel at his mother's sword this time."

Suho's judgment was correct.

Still, it was unreasonable to expect items that could be used by the Scavenger Guild.

Even if he were to start developing weapons as soon as he returned to the United States, it would take a considerable amount of time to create a usable weapon. freew(e)bnovel.(c)om

"Then why the magic stone?"

"I'm going to feed it to Ver."

"Ver?"

"Yes, Verdo has run out of power...."

[Kieeee

Boom!

"...."

Before he could finish his words, Berga was so moved that he clung to his face and burst into tears.

"Hey! You think of me so much! After all, there is only our little lord! It's worth it for me to carry him on his back and wash his poop diapers and raise him!]

"base...."

Contrary to Suho, who had a poop-chewed expression, Cha Hae-in, who was next to him, couldn't help but smile.

I'm not exaggerating, I really was.

Anyway, Suho was going to feed all of the high-grade Magic Gems he had obtained from Scavenger to Ver to replenish his strength.

In the meantime, Ver had been following the guardian and devouring the demons and gems in the mines, regenerating his mana power from time to time, but the amount of recovery was too poor.

The reason for this was basically that Ver's original strength was so high that no matter how much he ate, he poured water on the poison that had fallen to the bottom.

However, if he feeds the high-level Magic Gem to Ver, the lack of power will be made up for a little faster.

* * *

After talking to the Scavenger Guild, Suho and Cha Hae-in re-entered the Glacier Dungeon and stood side by side in front of the gate that led to the Tomb of the Deep Dragons of the Echo Forest

Wheeoh.

An ominous gate oozing gray ash.

Cha Hae-in passed through it with Sirka and suddenly looked back at Suho.

"I'll be back then."

"Your mother. Be careful... Take good care."

Suho bowed his head, feeling somewhat depressed.

The separation was regrettable, but as her mother said, she had to do her own thing.

First of all, until my mother restores Caesel's power within me and returns...

"To stay here and level up."

And by the time she returned, she would at least be stronger than her.

'... I knew for sure from this incident. How weak I am.'

After watching the completed S-class Hunter Cha Hae-in's battle, Suho had a clear goal.

In order to be useful to my father, I must first become stronger than my mother.

In addition, this incident made me realize one more important thing.

'Ver always said.'

His father had always fought alone.

In a place where no one remembers.

I've always fought such a lonely battle alone.

But not anymore.

'Now I am.'

He was no longer alone.

'And there we are.'

This time, Suho realized it properly.

That he is not alone in wanting to help his father, who is fighting alone.

Mother.

Uncle Yoo Jin-ho.

Thomas Andre.

And now I'm going to meet the president of the association, Woo Jin-chul.

Of course, none of this could have been enough to help my father in his struggle against the enemies of outer space from on high.

They weren't hunters who leveled up like themselves.

But not so much as that.

'It's the same. As much as I, my son.'

All of them were trying to be a strength to their father, Sung Jin Woo, in their respective positions, in their own way.

"... I mean."

Suho's gaze lit up at the endless sky.

'Wait a minute. Father.'

I'll be right away.

Thoroughly prepare things that can help him.

Suho watched for a long time until his mother disappeared completely from the gate.

And.

"Ver."

[Yes.]

He turned around with Ver and spoke calmly.

"Let's go back. to Korea."
