The Skill Maker

Chapter 115

“I’m glad you’re here . We were discussing about how much information we should reveal regarding the colorful portal . ”

Kim Yoo-Na greeted him warmly because Hyun-Soo contributed a lot during this hunt .

However, Leon didn’t know the reason, so he felt displeased .

“Technically, we only participated, so we need Xeon’s agreement . ”

“What is Team Xeon suggesting?”

Leon looked a bit uncomfortable, but he replied .

“There’s…really no need to reveal it . ”

“Then, Yoo-Na is on the side of wanting to reveal it . ”

Since they’ve been through a lot, it’s understandable that they would suggest that .

On top of that, he probably felt that there wasn’t a need for Yoo-Na to have control over the information .

Hyun-Soo agreed with that .

‘Even if we reveal it, there’s a lot of people that won’t be able to use it anyways, so it’s better to boast about it a little’

Another reason was to annoy the higher-ups .

There was no reason to give them more power when they were trying to control the hunters for their own selfish gain .

‘Our life is on the line as well . ’

Many lost their lives because they didn’t have enough information .

Of course some would still die even if they had the information .

Just in this portal, they managed to avoid death four times thanks to Hyun-Soo .

No one knew how things would turn out .

However, if another hunter decided to hunt in this portal and they were given information about it, wouldn’t their chance of survival increase?

Hyun-Soo agreed with Kim Yoo-Na .

“I also agree with Kim Yoo-Na suggestion . ”

A frown appeared on Leon’s face .

And he glared at Hyun-Soo .

If his glare had a physical form, it would be a knife and that knife would probably stab Hyun-Soo several times .

But his expression changed because of Kim Yoo-Na .

‘Oh……?’

He suddenly started understanding what David and Ismael said .

“But, Yoo-Na . Think carefully . This could be our strength . Don’t you think that having power is important? This could be that power . Think carefully . ”

Leon ignored Hyun-Soo and started persuading Kim Yoo-Na again .

The conversation turned into him trying to persuade her .

Hyun-Soo now understood why Ismael and David asked him to pull Yoo-Na away from Leon .

“Hm, I see . You’re right about that . What do you think, Hyun-Soo?”

A frown appeared on Leon’s face when Kim Yoo-Na asked Hyun-Soo .

Hyun-Soo looked straight at Leon and spoke .

“You can’t call that power . If we succeeded in clearing another colorful portal, that small power won’t have much of an effect, so I think it’s better not to stock up on them . ”

Under the condition that they clear another colorful portal .

They won’t be able to get much out of this small information .

Team Xeon lacked the power to clear the portal by themselves while Kim Yoo-Na’s clan could clear it many times .

And Leon wanted to gain power over one data when they’ll be able to gain plenty . Hyun-Soo had a hunch of how powerful Leon was .

Maybe Leon what Hyun-Soo was implying .

Now Leon looked really mad .

“This isn’t something we should be discussing with a member . ”

It was obvious that he wanted Hyun-Soo to go away .

“Leon, my clan makes decisions based on everyone’s opinions . And Hyun-Soo’s opinion is more important . ”

“More important…? How come?”

“That’s something you don’t need to know . ”

‘Wow . ’

Hyun-Soo couldn’t hide his surprise when he heard her reply .

Kim Yoo-Na wanted to protect Hyun-Soo’s secret and didn’t want to reveal the clan’s primary power .

The issue was that she rejected without any hesitation .

“I-I see . I guess I overstepped my boundary . ”

Hyun-Soo felt bad because he was a leader of a clan, but he couldn’t do anything in front of Kim Yoo-Na .

Leon was attacking Hyun-Soo, but Kim Yoo-Na was the one that put him in his place, not Hyun-Soo .

He was probably doing that to look good .

Leon was now beyond mad .

Kim Yoo-Na noticed that Leon tried to keep calm, but he wasn’t able to hide his anger .

“Yes, that’s right . ”

On top of that, Kim Yoo-Na was straightforward .

It didn’t seem like she felt sorry for him because she spoke very calmly .

But that wasn’t the case for people that were listening .

‘Wow…… . ’

Hyun-Soo kind of felt sorry for Leon .

Kim Yoo-Na must’ve reacted that way because of how Leon was acting before .

Since she was there with the members and not by herself, it was understandable as to why she was watching over the members .

‘Tsk, tsk . Looks like you just revealed your weak point . ’

And he’s trying to team up with Kim Yoo-Na again .

Is he just brave or shameless?

Team Xeon was one of the well-known guilds and Hyun-Soo started question whether a clan has to be shameless in order to become bigger .

“I think it’ll be good to reveal the information . ”

“No, Yoo-Na . Don’t you think it’ll be better to think about it again? This is our chance . ”

They’ve had that chance many times .

That’s why they weren’t hesitant about revealing the data .

Kim Yoo-Na looked like she was contemplating for a bit .

“Then, let’s not reveal it . ”

Was her answer .

A bright smile finally appeared on Leon’s face, but .

“But, we’ll reveal it starting from the next hunt . ”

A frown appeared on his face again .

That meant .

‘There’s a chance that this alliance will break . ’

The reason for her deciding to reveal the data starting from the next hunt was simple .

Do what you want this time .

Because there won’t be a next time for you .

They had different opinions, so there was no reason to stick together .

The alliance was formed today, so it’ll be a problem if things go wrong already .

And that alliance is leaning more on one side anyways .

‘Breaking the alliance may be better than having him as an ally . ’

Hyun-Soo thought deeply .

Kim Yoo-Na’s clan will become the best .

Because he was going to make it the best .

But he didn’t like having a fishy guy like him in the group .

On top of that, as time passes, Leon will definitely take more control .

It was obvious that he had the better future .

Those that have discerning eyes will be able to read the flow and do something about it .

‘We have nothing to lose . ’

He was worried about the alliance breaking up because he got involved .

But Hyun-Soo soon realized that there was no need to worry about that .

Was it because Hyun-Soo looked more relaxed?

Or was it because he understood his place after what Kim Yoo-Na said?

Leon looked like he was about to bite his lips, but a soft smile appeared on his face .

But Hyun-Soo’s eyes were fixed on Leon’s fist .

“I think your suggestion is a lot better . Let’s do that . We’ll keep getting more of these data anyways, right?”

“I’m sure . So, are we done? Let’s get the corpse and luggage we brought and leave . We’ll be heading to our base, so make sure to follow us . ”

Kim Yoo-Na gave a small nod .

Kim Yoo-Na walked away from Leon, just like David and Ismael had hoped .

Since Kim Yoo-Na wasn’t there, there was no need for Hyun-Soo to stay there .

Right when Hyun-Soo was about leave, he heard Leon’s whisper .

“…Don’t think it’s going to end like this . ”

“Did you even start something? I can’t really tell . ”

“Haha, you’re funny . ”

“Really? Well, I guess it’s a relief since you thin it’s funny . I’ll be taking my leave . ”

Leon continued glaring at Hyun-Soo with a smile .

But his eyes were different .

‘There’s no need to be afraid of someone like him . ’

Hyun-Soo just smirked .

“I’m overloaded with work because of you guys . ”

Herhim called a few days ago .

Even though he was old, many considered Herhim as a legendary hunter .

He was just exaggerating so that others would hear his complaint .

Hyun-Soo had no choice but to visit the black market .

Herhim asked him to come with Kim Yoo-Na .

Thanks to that, Hyun-Soo rode in Kim Yoo-Na’s red sports car .

Hyun-Soo was now used to greeting the people there and when entered the deepest part, Herhim greeted them .

“Welcome . The two hottest people are here in my office!”

Herhim opened his arms while greeting them .

Hyun-Soo felt like he needed to run to Herhim and give him a hug .

In American movies, the characters do that when they haven’t seen each other for a long time .

Hyun-Soo kind of wanted to do that .

“Mr . Herhim, why did you want to see us?”

Kim Yoo-Na must’ve felt the same way because she lightly pushed Herhim’s arm .

“You youngs ones aren’t romantic at all . ”

“I’m sure you didn’t call us just to complain . ”

“Amd I not supposed to?”

“……Mr . Herhim . ”

Kim Yoo-Na quietly said his name .

Herhim coughed and motioned them to take a seat .

“Since you’re here, let’s take our time . If it weren’t for you guys, I wouldn’t have time to rest . You guys are 80% of the reason why I’m so busy, so let me complain . ”

Kim Yoo-Na thought it was absurd, but decided to listen .

Hyun-Soo suddenly became the culprit, so he quietly sat down .

“You didn’t bring it with you today?”

Even though the subject was missing, Hyun-Soo knew what Herhim was talking about .

“Riri, come out . ”

Riri grew a little after consuming the monster’s skill .

Her physical form didn’t change, but it was easy to tell by how she acted .

Before, she was like an innocent child that was just born into world, but now, she knew what she liked and disliked .

Kyuuuuuu .

Riri, who was inside Hyun-Soo’s hood, released a small cry .

She was being more cautious than usual, which meant that she wasn’t going to leave Hyun-Soo’s hood .

“Riri?”

When Hyun-Soo called her name again, she flew out with an unsatisfied look on her face .

After spinning around Hyun-Soo once, she carefully sat on top of Hyun-Soo’s hand .

“Oh! So you did bring it . Great!”

It was obvious that Herhim liked it .

Herhim liked interesting things, so Riri was a monster that Herhim really wanted to have for himself .

“There was something I wanted to give Riri . ”

Herhim looked through his desk drawer after saying that .

Moments later, he took out…

‘Energy Stone?’

It was an Energy Stone that had a green light .

Kyuuuuu?

“It’s a present for you . ”

Hyun-Soo wasn’t sure if Herhim was really rich or if he was really obsessed with Riri .

The Energy Stone was worth over a million dollars and if it wasn’t for Herhim, Hyun-Soo wouldn’t have believed that it was a real Energy Stone .

“Is it okay…to give that away?”
