Chapter 150: Piece of Cake

“My name is Kim Young-chul. It seems the information circulating on the streets isn’t accurate at all. No wonder dozens of C-rank hunters got wiped out last night.”

Young-chul was the broker who offered ten billion won, ten tier-3 Portal Gates and added the information about Black Market and its access in the complete offer.

“None of my business. Those hunters come knocking on death’s door. I only fulfill their wishes with pleasure.” Ji-woo replied with a chuckle. He was amazed to see Young-chul. According to him, the impression he got from the meeting was different from Seok-jin’s.

With Seok-jin, Ji-woo felt fake friendliness and greed in the broker’s every word and action. As with Young-chul, he sensed arrogance and pride in the broker’s tone and gesture. Particularly with seven A-rank foreign hunters by Young-chul’s side as bodyguards. That in itself already distinguished the two of them as brokers.

“Those are terrible words coming out of a young man. Well, arrogance is often attached to the image of young people. So it’s only natural that you think and act like that. But you need to tone down your attitude if you still love your life.

“If you’re not careful, your head might separate from your body out of nowhere. Here’s a little advice from me as an older person with more experience than you. Don’t think badly of me. It’s for your good.”

Young-chul advised Ji-woo while handing him a card containing ten billion won and several piles of paper containing the possession of the Portal Gate.

Ji-woo was quite surprised to see that. It was different from what he used to do together with Seok-jin. As for the words Young-chul just said, he didn’t care about it.

Young-chul, who saw Ji-woo’s surprised face, smiled slightly and immediately explained.

“As far as I know, you’re a member of the Demigod guild. Right? Indeed, this kind of thing is common. But, seeing your reaction, it seems Ji-woo~si has dealt with a broker before. Considering that brokers usually provide Portal Gates illegally because they don’t qualify as an entity that owns state property. It’s the same with an individual. And, of course, you’ll be busy taking care of this yourself with the Hunters Association later.

“Unless you hand over these ten Portal Gates or declare them to be the possession of the Demigod guild. It would be difficult to keep hold of this property without a lengthy process with the Hunters Association’s people. The possibility that you fail to take care of it is also there, and the proposal to own the Portal Gates will get rejected.

“Anyway. Then how come a broker like me can legally own Portal Gates? It’s because I’m a Black Market VVIP seller. I have a guarantee as an entity that can possess Portal Gates.

“Besides money, I am also declared an individual capable of hunting in dungeons although not one endowed with Mana. It is one of the benefits obtained from the Black Market. Also, this is the power and authority of that place towards the Hunters Association. Not only in South Korea but globally.”

Young-chul explained at length with his superior smile. He wanted to show that the Black Market was both a place and an organization above the Hunters Association in every way.

Ji-woo also carefully digested the information he just got in his head.

“I thank you for broadening my horizons. But, why are you telling this? I think it’s too much detail if you only want to explain about the Portal Gate’s legal possession papers.”

Young-chul took a leisurely breath and opened his mouth again.

“I want you to consider me as a suitable intermediary to sell magic items. Information about the source that provides good quality magic items in the Hunter Association’s armory shop is already there. Who doesn’t know about that?

“Even if you have previous broker connections, they can’t get compared to me. You can confirm this to Chairman Yu and a few other S-rank hunters. They know that I’m the only Black Market VVIP seller in South Korea.

“Just so you know. I also have business with Chairman Yu indirectly. How about it? Wouldn’t it be more convenient for us to work together? Rather than with the low-level brokers out there, I’m the best choice.”

Young-chul continued and handed Ji-woo a USB containing information about the Black Market. He also gave a black gold business card to Ji-woo.

Ji-woo received the items and studied the black and gold card. He could feel the magic embedded into the card. Well, it was not surprising because in this world alone. They could make magic items even though their quality was below average. But he still found it interesting.

It was probably because this world was getting more and more similar to the previous world he was in. Especially in terms of the use of magic, Ji-woo felt nostalgia in his heart because of it.

Ji-woo then handed over the Spatial Bag he got from the Mapo district’s Red Gate incident, whose dungeon owner was the Werewolf.

“This is the magic item. Sorry to interrupt, but are you sure you won’t get robbed in the middle of the day because of this thing?”

Young-chul’s eyes widened at Ji-woo’s words when he received the Spatial Bag. He then laughed a little loosely because of that.

“Hahaha! Who do you think you’re worried about? I’m a Black Market VVIP. Who dares to rob me? You’re so funny, Ji-woo~si!”

“Well, good to hear that. Thanks for the deal this time. I’ll consider future affairs later. Also, sorry about your C-rank hunter who had to die for nothing watching over me last night.”

Ji-woo got up, about to leave the room Ma-no provided to finalize his deal with the broker. He knew about hunters watching his movements because, among the dozens, there was one who was not Korean. And seeing the composition of Young-chul’s bodyguards, he estimated that a C-rank hunter from last night was this broker’s subordinate.

“Hah! No need to worry. It doesn’t matter to me. They’re just C-rank hunters, and see you later! I’m sure you’ll contact me again in the future.”

When Ji-woo disappeared from Young-chul’s sight, his face, which was initially full of smiles and joy, vanished in an instant.

“Use that Magic Rune. I’m about to make a call.” Young-chul said in English.

One of the A-rank foreign hunters behind Young-chul walked to the center of the room and took out an object filled with magic inscriptions. The hunter then placed the magic item on the floor and triggered it with his Mana. Before long, the magic inscriptions that seemed to be in Dragon’s Tongue spread across the floor and walls. It even covered the ceiling of the room too.

That Magic Rune had a function to block any sound from outside or from within. It was suitable for having secret conversations without wanting anyone to know.

Moreover, the hunters had a sense of hearing above ordinary people. Talking in any place without such a thing was very dangerous. Even though Young-chul had the confidence of being a Black Market VVIP member, that didn’t mean he wasn’t afraid of death. Many Black Market secrets couldn’t get known to the public. And if it leaked, it was inevitable that he would lose his life just like that.

Young-chul then used his smartphone. “Hello, it’s me. Smuggle four S-rank hunters into South Korea. It is important. I have a Spatial Bag. We can show it off on the Black Market later.” He didn’t want to be caught by the Hunters Association entering S-rank hunters without notice.

From S-rank to ArchMage, they had special obligations and permits to enter each country. And this also applied to entities like the Black Market. Although, it was just a formality that many did not follow it.

However, the International Hunter Association heeded the rule as an important matter because they needed to monitor every move of the world’s high-ranking hunters. And things would get extraordinarily complicated if caught violating it. The worst possibility would be civil war if the hunter came from a big guild or massive organization.

Before long, Young-chul hung up after speaking in English. And ordered the hunters to pull out of the place. They also didn’t forget the Magic Rune on the floor and deactivated them before leaving.

Meanwhile, Ji-woo decided to give 300 million won to the weapon shop as compensation where he’s holding an impromptu event. He also didn’t forget to apologize to Ma-no and Ji-hye.

Ji-woo also briefly spoke to Chairman Yu. He also apologized for the rumors and bowed, paying his respects and gratitude. He immediately said goodbye and promised to take care of the matter of the Portal Gate ownership another day. He hurried to go home because he was worried about his sister and mother.

Meanwhile, what was happening earlier at the Hunter Association’s armory shop had been broadcast live on the streaming platform.

Yu-jin was in the small yard of Ji-woo’s house, watching the incident on her smartphone.

“Yu-jin~si, what are you watching? Auntie told you to come inside and offer some food.” Dong-hyun asked as he approached. However, his steps stopped when he heard Yu-jin’s surprising response.

“Watching Ji-woo hold off two S-rank hunters at the same time alone.”

“What!!?”
