Chapter 27 - New Member

That's what Hyun thinks when he sees what's behind the door. A room as large as the reception lobby with a very magnificent and charming design and architecture, it is at a loss to describe it. In front of him, two people were seen on a long sofa. One was seen sleeping with headphones on his head and the other was a small child eating a pile of candy. Child?

At the end, behind his desk, sat Oliver with a woman standing next to him.

"Sit down" Oliver's voice filled the room.

Hyun didn't see any other seats other than the large sofa facing in the middle. He walked over and decided to sit next to someone who looked like a child with his candy. Oliver was still busy with the paper in his hand. Those who are asleep also don't seem to be disturbed. Beside him, Ji Hu still looks engrossed in eating candy. Only the woman standing next to Oliver looked at him as if judging.

"Are you that new kid?" Jin Woo's lying voice startled Hyun.

"Sorry? new kid?"

Ji Hu offered Hyun a piece of candy, "Ah is it possible that you haven't been told?" Hyun received the candy.

"Areum! explain!" Jin Woo said indifferently. Areum looked upset, but she did it anyway.

"So, milord saw a potential in you and decided to recruit you to enter the guild"

"Of course the final decision remains in your hands"

Hyun still looked confused by this arrival. He didn't know how to react. On the one hand, Oliver was the one who helped him the most. And on the other hand, he has chosen to be with his noona, Sylv.

"I..."

"Are you still confused?"

"You can ask in advance about the details and yeah... you could say that this is a free guild with no binding rules," Ji Hu explained a little.

Oliver was seen finishing with his documents and walked towards the sofa followed by Areum.

"Are you thinking of continuing to follow Sylv?" Hyun looked surprised to hear Oliver's guess and nodded.

"Areum, sit down" Oliver took a piece of candy that belonged to Ji Hu.

"I know you'll think that way"

"But are you sure you'll continue to follow Sylv? she only took care of dungeon breaks and never got into them" Oliver ate the candy.

"Which means, you won't have a chance to enter a higher dungeon"

At first Hyun was a little angry because Oliver seemed to be demeaning to his noona. However, what Oliver said wasn't entirely wrong. By only being a freelance hunter without joining a guild, it would definitely be difficult to gain access to some dungeons.

"Sylv herself asked me to put you in the guild,"

Hyun was surprised to hear it. But maybe that's what Sylv would do if he saw her nature. Hyun sighed before giving an answer. Like any other guild, he needed to see what the contract would be like.

"That's what noona is like"

"Then, what about the contract?"

"None..." Oliver answered without hesitation.

EH?! eeehhh!! what does it mean that there is none? isn't a contract required to enter the guild?!

"Ahahaha there is finally a new member who is a little normal" Ji Hu looked laughing with satisfaction seeing Hyun's reaction.

"Etto... Doesn't it at least take a contract and a signature to join the guild?"

Ji Hu still laughed at Hyun's words and then handed a piece of candy back. Hyun accepts it.

D-did I say something strange?

"You just need to give your hunter card and I'll put Oliver's guild name in it" Oliver said.

I—it's that easy?!

"What about the distribution of revenues, profits, salaries and others?"

"Ahahaha you're so funny Of course, there is no sharing of the results. Everything you earn from the dungeon will be yours and about everything else. all will be borne by the guild"

Hyun still doesn't understand about Ji Hu's explanation. "So, you could say that everything we get from the dungeon is our salary? And if we need something like a weapon or something, the guild will bear it?"

"Ohh, it turns out you're smarter than the music head there," Ji Hu pointed at Jin Woo.

"W-wait! Won't it be the guild that will lose money?"

"...."

Everyone is staring at Hyun."Ehhh!! Don't you know anything about this company?!"

Of course, isn't this a company that belongs to one of the giant companies in Korea?!

Ji Hu's bewildered face explained everything.

"Milord's company is one of the world's giant companies with trillions of won in revenue in a month," Areum tried to explain it as simply as possible.

W-woah!! What a social gap that is very gaping.

"Wahahaha, your stupid face looks funnier than the music head!" it seemed like Ji Hu ate something strange because he couldn't stop laughing.

"Oliver! we have to recruit him anyway"

"Honestly seeing the faces of these two fools makes me almost crazy" Ji Hu made a movement as if he was very tired of facing it all.

"Shut up, kid!" Jin Woo who had been asleep earlier, when Oliver started to sit up, he also straightened his back.Oliver looked dizzy at the behavior of his members. "Enough of you guys!"

"As you can see, I gathered those who had potential and gave them freedom and all the facilities available"

"In return, I just need loyalty..."

"Those who stab in the back..."

Ugh! It seemed like Hyun knew what Oliver's remarks were going to go through. Seeing the pressure in his voice.

"You know?! even if Oliver takes all the loot of the dungeon, we won't have a problem with that"

"Because indeed all our needs are always prioritized. And you don't have to worry about your family, Oliver's guild will fully guarantee their safety and needs"

"That's why we, as members, only have one goal, which is to follow wherever and whatever Oliver commands"

"That's what we pay for, loyalty"

Areum and Jin Woo nodded hearing Ji Hu's words.

The price of loyalty is very high. And that's why Oliver rarely takes on a new member.

After taking a long thought.

"Well! I'm going to join your guild, Oliver nim!"

Oliver nodded. "In that case, hand over your hunter card. I'll fill up your membership and return it tomorrow,"

Hyun gave him his hunter card.

"Finally!! There was a new member who looked normal"

"Introduction, my name is Ji Hu, the most genius in the whole world! And that's the one who always wears headphones, Jin Woo. You can ask him for a good musical reference!"

Ji Hu pointed at Jin Woo. "Osh!"

"And this one..."

"Introduction, I'm a knight of milord, Jeong Areum!"

"G-greetings! My name is Hyun, a beginner hunter"

Eehhh!!

The three of them were shocked to learn that Hyun had only been awakened for a few months.

"Enough of you three," Oliver stopped the barrage of questions given to Hyun.

"Follow me" Hyun obeyed Oliver's orders and followed him.

While at the door, Oliver stopped and turned around. "The three of you…Upgrade your level to UR as soon as possible"

"Okay sir!"

"Osh!"

"Yokayy!"

Along the way, the two were just silent. Hyun doesn't know why Oliver told to follow him and there's nothing Hyun wants to talk about either.

"This..."

When he got to the elevator, Oliver gave him a red elixir.

"What is this?" Hyun received the elixir and was confused as to why he was suddenly given the elixir.

"It was a gift from the previous fake dungeon boss, a berserk elixir"

Hyun almost forgot that Alvon had once told him that his boss's gift was still kept by Oliver.

Remembering Alvon, it made a feeling of sadness and anger permeate Hyun.

Oliver saw Hyun's expression. "There's no need to cry for those who have left..."

Hyun was surprised to hear Oliver's words who didn't seem to appreciate anyone. However, Oliver's next words make Hyun realize that there is no need to be stuck with the past. And every colleague we meet. will always be in our hearts.

"Be stronger than anyone so that no one will dare to hurt your loved ones"

Hyun understood, "thank you"

Oliver nodded.

"Before that, can you take your time for a month from now?"

"I'm not sure but, maybe I'll be in closed training for a time that I can't say"

"No, it seems like I mis chose the word"

Hyun looking at Oliver. "I'll give you a month to solve your problem and come to me after that!"

At first, Hyun was confused to hear Oliver's words. However, it sounds like a challenge for Hyun that he must be able to overcome with the utmost effort. Hyun solidified his determination and expression, "Alright! Wait for me in a month! I'll exceed your expectations!"

Unbeknownst to Hyun, Oliver smiled hearing it.

The two arrived at the lobby and walked outside. Some of the staff bowed and greeted Oliver as he passed. Oliver replied to the staff's greeting. "Do you want to go to Sylv's place?"

Hyun nodded.

"Alright, I'll escort you" Oliver grabbed Hyun's shoulder. And in an instant, they were in front of Sylv's house.

Woahh what is teleportation?

Answer. It wasn't teleportation, but rather the speed of Oliver's hunter.

Hyun knew that Oliver's power was light, but he didn't think that it really moved as fast as light. "T-thank you!"

Oliver nodded.

Then at the same speed, it disappeared.

"Hey system! when you possess my body, will you be able to fight Oliver?"

Of course not, a stupid master! So immediately raise your level to be equal to Hunter Oliver and maybe we can balance against him.

"H-hey! I just asked, okay?"

System only answers.

"What answer is that!? Are you having Period or what?!"
