The Return of the Disaster-Class Hero

Chapter 29: Who made this? (2)

'What did this bastard just say?'

He was Lee Gun. So what the hell was this? He didn't recall ever taking in a disciple.

The appraiser, who was impersonating as Lee Gun's disciple, spoke with great pride, "Amongst the disciples Lee Gun-nim took under him, he treasured me the most."

'I never nurtured a disciple like this man.'

The appraiser remained oblivious as he continued to praise Lee Gun. "You can't be Lee Gun-nim's direct disciple considering your age, but you're pretty good. You almost fooled me with this item"

'Should I sue this man for being a charlatan?' Lee Gun thought whether he should punch the man or drag him out by his feet when...

"There's a problem, Appraiser-nim!" An employee burst into the room.

The appraiser angrily replied, "I'm in the middle of an important conversation. Can't you see that?"

"But... Outside..."

"Get out! I'm talking with an important guest."

In the end, the employee was chased out of the room.

Lee Gun limbered up in the meantime. 'I should get decent data from hitting an SS rank appraiser, right?'

The appraiser started looking for something. As Lee Gun walked up behind him, he brought out an unexpected item. "I received this when I was accepted as Lee Gun-nim's disciple."

Lee Gun was surprised at the sight of a familiar item. It was a pocket notebook, one that he had used in the past. The only problem was...

'I lost it a long time ago.'

Lee Gun realized that he might have met the appraiser before. 'There's no way. Is he the kid who was crying after being dumped by a girl?' Lee Gun had once traveled to China after receiving a commission. There, he had met an annoying boy, who had chased him around.

The appraiser continued, "He had an excellent eye for appraising items, and he thankfully passed on some of his knowledge to me."

That was true. Lee Gun remembered that the dirty kid had continued to follow him, so he had cussed out the kid in annoyance. He remembered chastising the kid.

"Then, he disappeared after leaving this in my quarters."

'I wondered where I had lost it. Did this bastard steal it from me?' Lee Gun thought.

"I cannot read his penmanship, but this is a notebook where he jotted down his ideas. I was able to receive such a precious item."

It was just a list of people Lee Gun wanted to kill at a later date. The appraiser's name might be in that notebook too, but he didn't volunteer this information.

Anyway, it wasn't as if Lee Gun didn't know him. The kid he had met in the past had become an SS rank appraiser; it was something to congratulate. However, Lee Gun refused to do so. 'This bastard dared to keep my item.'

He was about to extend his hand when...

"I like you, so I'll let you have this. I'll give you free merchandise from the store too," the appraiser said.

Lee Gun's hand froze in the air.

"You are a Maker, right? If you see any ingredient you like, you can take it all for free."

A smile instantly appeared on Lee Gun's face. "Your teacher was that awesome?"

Sometimes people misrepresented facts, and that was fine.
