I wasn't a philanthropist. I was actually the opposite and was similar to Lee Ji-Hye, who was smiling like an idiot in front of me.

When we walked in with our spear and sword, a few survivors nodded at us as if they were happy to see veteran warriors join them.

'This wasn't what I wanted...'

At this rate, I'm going to end up being the meat shield.

"I said guide in order to make it sound impressive, but there isn't really much I can show you. Besides the fact that the males and females have separate rooms, there isn't much to see here," Lee Ji-Hye explained.

"We're still thankful for this," Park Deok-Gu commented.

"Thank you for your understanding. I was a bit worried..." she said.

"There's no need to worry. We're thankful that we were even invited here," he told her.

"Hehe, you're very nice. Would it be okay if I called you Deok-Gu oppa?" Lee Ji-Hye asked.

"Well... do as you please..." he answered.

"You're reliable," she complimented him.

The innocent Park Deok-Gu was kind of getting fooled by Lee Ji-Hye. Despite the fact that she was six years older than him, I guess he liked it when she called him Oppa.

"Is that alright for you, Mr. Ki-Young?" she asked me.

"I don't care about titles, so do as you please," I answered.

I noticed her not looking in Jung Ha-Yan's general direction.

"Then I'll call you Ki-Young oppa from now on. Hehe. Oh! Please come this way Ms. Ha-Yan. There aren't any particular rules about living here, but Hyun-Sung will explain the details about this place to the rest of you. As for you, Ms. Ha-Yan. I'll be the one to explain the details to you, so you should just rest for today," Lee Ji-Hye suggested.

"Oh... okay! M-Mr. Ki-Young, I'll see you in a bit. Thank you for bringing me all the way here," Jung Ha-Yan thanked me.

"Okay, I'll see you in a bit," I told her.

"Okay!" she responded energetically.

Jung Ha-Yan bowed her head before entering the women's section with Lee Ji-Hye. I was sure she was being told of the various rules about this place, but I honestly wasn't really interested in what they were doing.

I was more interested in what we should be doing moving forward.

"Hyung-nim, don't you think this place is somewhat a good place to live?" Park Deok-Gu asked.

"It is, but..." I said, not finishing my sentence.

"Something wrong?" he asked curiously.

"It's not a big problem, but," I answered.

"But?"

"It's nothing," I said.

"How lame..." Park Deok-Gu commented.

I frowned a bit at the thought that I could become a meat shield that would protect this safe shelter, but after thinking about it more, I realized that it wasn't a bad deal.

'All I need to do is get what I need.'

There were so many things I could obtain from this place. After safely hunting with Kim Hyun-Sung, I could obtain a job through the hunt, and then I would bring Jung Ha-Yan to our side. I'm sure there would be a few problems along the way, but it was none of our concern.
