Chapter 59
The competitive match between Ronik Guild and Circle Guild was scheduled for two weeks from now. And the meeting Kwon Taehyuk arranged for me, the one I’d requested, was happening today — just two days after I asked.
“I couldn’t even bring myself to ask for it quickly, but he set it up right away.”
Did he pick up on my intentions? Kwon Taehyuk really was sharp.
"Welcome, Guildmaster Won."
As I came down from the office with Cha Sahyeon, the driver — who had been waiting with the car ready — greeted us politely.
It was the car Kwon Taehyuk had sent for us. I had no problem accepting hospitality from someone so wealthy, but compared to last time, the driver’s excessive politeness felt a bit awkward.
On the ride to the meeting location, I organized my thoughts.
The "natural setting" Kwon Taehyuk had chosen for me to meet Ryu Sunghyun was a simple lunch gathering. It was an ordinary, low-key approach — which made it all the more effective.
Officially, it was a follow-up to apologize for the unpleasant events during the last dungeon. All participating guilds were invited. Of course, that included Circle Guild.
Kwon Taehyuk surely knew that the Circle Guildmaster rarely showed up to events like this. The odds were high that Ryu Sunghyun — who had personally entered the dungeon — would come in the guildmaster’s place.
Kwon Taehyuk had exceeded expectations in helping me. Now, it was up to me to make this count.
“We’ve arrived.”
