Chapter 62
Tap tap. In the quiet room, only the sound of a keyboard being typed on echoed.
Hyun Dowoon, who had been intently focused on the monitor for quite a while, suddenly rubbed his forehead and furrowed his brow.
[Cover is siding with the Circle Guild in the upcoming competitive match.]
Cha Seohu’s voice rang faintly in his ears. Running a hand through his hair with a puzzled expression, Hyun Dowoon muttered to himself,
“What the hell... is this?”
Cha Seohu had stormed out of the C-281 district, claiming he couldn’t take it anymore, and then disappeared for several months without a word.
Hyun wondered if something had happened to him—or if maybe he was just living the good life and couldn’t be bothered to check in. No searches turned anything up. Just when it was starting to feel strange, Seohu had suddenly returned. With a boy no one had ever seen before.
Seohu sold off who-knows-what kind of item, got himself an office, and established a guild. Then, one by one, he started asking Hyun for favors.
They were all suspicious requests, but the most incomprehensible of them all was the one where he asked Hyun to anonymously register a ranking match with Kwon Taehyuk.
He’d been so persistent that Hyun had eventually just given in. And the person who entered the ranking match wasn’t even Seohu—it was some stranger. But somehow, that stranger became the hunter currently ranked number one: Cover.
Hyun had already been curious about Cover—about what kind of relationship he had with Seohu. And now, Seohu was asking him to spread the news that Cover would be joining the competition?
And he said it right in the middle of the call—didn’t even give me a chance to ask.
