I Was Betrayed But It's Okay haha

Chapter 128

"Right. That’s what it was.”

Lee Soo-ah nodded her head as she returned to the office. She recalled Baek Ji-hoon’s expression from just moments ago.

An expression that seemed utterly clueless. His reaction was as if it was the first time he had heard anything like it.

‘He’s acting like this... all for me... Ji-hoon...’

She felt her heart flutter slightly.

‘He wanted me to grow quickly... for my sake... So that’s why he acted like he didn’t know anything...’

She nodded slightly. It was a moment where her heart inexplicably trembled.

Until now, she had never met anyone who truly cared for her.

All the men around her had only ever been obsessed with her, clinging to her.

But Baek Ji-hoon was putting immense pressure on her.

For the first time in her life, she had resisted such pressure fiercely...

But then, she started to think it was all for her.

‘Someone who cares for me... Someone who acts for me... Ji-hoon... He’s a true cold city man...’

Her expression turned slightly trembling. She thought it was the first love she had ever experienced.

‘Yes. From now on, I’ll live right. Just for myself.’

With firm determination, she stood up.

Yoo Hana’s situation was the same.

‘He truly cared for me. That’s why he was so cold and forceful... I see now...’

Her pupils trembled slightly. She felt a strange emptiness in her office.

‘I’ve always lived like this... No one has ever truly understood me or cared for me. Everyone only ever tried to gain something for themselves or tried to build a connection with me. This is the first time...’

She couldn’t control her shaking emotions. She felt like she had completely fallen for Baek Ji-hoon in an unusual way.

‘Hana, stay strong. From now on, live your life. You need to repay Ji-hoon’s care...’

She clutched her trembling heart, trying to regain her composure.

“Hey, Hyung-seok. We don’t have to pay taxes on this, right?” “Nope~ That’s all taken care of when you deposit it with the guild. Income tax is almost 50%, after all. Once you give it to the guild, taxes are basically all handled~ Hehe.”

He was beaming, grinning widely.

Looking at the billion won in his hand, he was in an exceptionally good mood.

“Hyung... Thank you so much... sniff... I’m not even a hunter. I never imagined this could happen to me... sniff...”

Tears of gratitude seemed ready to spill from his eyes.

“Hey, this is just the beginning. We’ve only sold one item so far. There’s so much more to do.” “Yeah... sniff...”

He couldn’t help but feel nervous.

He looked utterly sincere.

“Hmm... I’ll think about reorganizing the department. First, let’s gather the S-rank hunters...”

I recalled the six hunters Lee Soo-ah had mentioned.

‘Could it be... those people are coming over to our side?’

If we could gather the S-rank hunters, we could create a super-elite team.

‘If that happens... It’ll be an insane combination... But will the S-rank hunters really come to us?’

I was feeling a bit uncertain.

“Hmm...”

Lee Haru, Lee Yeji, Lee Areum, Cha Ayeon, Park Yeo-eun, and Jo Suji.

The six hunters were gathered in one place.

Their expressions were quite strange.

“Hey, isn’t the Blue Guild acting really weird these days...?”

Cha Ayeon broke the silence.

“Yes... It’s really weird. Soo-ah kept pestering me, so I had no choice but to help... But does any guild assign missions like that?” “That’s what I’m saying. It felt like a mission designed to screw us over.” “Is the Blue Guild leader out of his mind...?”

Lee Haru, Park Yeo-eun, and Jo Suji nodded in agreement. They felt like there had been significant upheaval in the hunter industry lately.

“That guy, Baek Ji-hoon... He seems a bit unusual...” “Right? He suddenly became an S-rank hunter? And after he joined, Yoo Hana came back to the Blue Guild, and Cha Isul too...”

They were struggling to adjust to the situation.

On top of that, they were also a bit worried about their own positions.

The hierarchy of S-rank hunters had been solid for a long time.

But now, Cha Soo-hyun had suddenly risen to the top, and Baek Ji-hoon had appeared out of nowhere, shaking things up.

“Hmm... What if we joined the Blue Guild too...?”

Lee Areum glanced at the others, gauging their reactions. She seemed to have already made up her mind.

“Huh? You’re saying you want to transfer to the Blue Guild...?”

Everyone felt quite confused by the situation.

“Judging by the current state of things... The Blue Guild is growing rapidly. Just look at Lee Soo-ah and Yoo Hana...”

Lee Areum bit her lip slightly.

‘That’s true. The world is changing completely... What on earth is going on...?’

Lee Yeji recalled seeing Baek Ji-hoon’s status window.

‘He can transfer points to others...? Hmm...’

Her eyes wavered slightly.
