Of course, everything was legal to a certain extent. The reason for trusting Kim Mi-young manager, an expert in imperial law, was that she made good use of the law. This was because there were secretly many ways to avoid the dense net known as the Imperial Law.

There was no room for a problem once the investigation came in, but this in itself might already seem a little dangerous from Cho Hyejin's eyes.

If she was a woman of principles, then perhaps she noticed the ills within the guild while I was away.

'That's not the only problem...'

Sun Hee-young's volunteering service could also be a problem. The work of removing garbage in slums may be viewed as contributing to society by catching and killing criminals from the point of view of some people, but to be precise, it was also a crime.

The fact that I could control the media on my own might not sit well with people who adhered to their own values. People like Cho Hyejin would probably think that the press should be transparent.

From my standpoint, she would be a hindrance. As her authority and influence within the guild increases, I would become more limited with what can do.

'Hyunsung...

Why did he have to do this now? For a moment, resentment filled me up. However, this was no time to be picky. I needed Blue to grow as much as possible. Though it sounded selfish, I didn't want to be held back by my conscience.

I thought Cho Hyejin would refrain herself from doing the same due to her past experience, but I knew it would not be easy to change personal values. She might overlook my activities the first few times, but I knew she and I would not get along in the end.

First, I had to gauge how things would go.

With this in mind, I gently disentangled myself from Jung Hayan, heading to the bathroom to wash up. In no time, I was dressed and on the move. I'd initially thought that Jung Hayan was only pretending to be asleep, but it appeared that she genuinely was still unconscious.

Right off the bat, I decided to visit Kim Mi-young. I felt a little sorry, seeing as it was her day off, but it would certainly be better for me to take care of things in advance.

The whole Guild House was quiet, as if everyone was still sleeping. When I went to knock on Kim Mi-young's door, a little kid opened up.

"Ah!"

"Hello. Is your mom here?"

"Mom! Uncle is here!"

"Mom!"

I knew I wasn't old enough to be called an uncle, so that definitely hurt.

As the children frantically called for their mother, I had to shake my head. I knew nothing felt more uncomfortable than having a boss suddenly call on an employee during a holiday. The sorry feeling came back again, but there was nothing I could do.

'You have to suffer as much as you receive.'

Since she had been promoted to manager, situations like these were inevitable.

After some time, Kim Mi-young had come to the door, obviously having done so in a hurry.

"V-Vice Guild Master. Why did you come?"

"I'm sorry for bothering you on your day off, but I have something to talk about. And I have to write a new contract too. I actually came to do both..."

"If you could tell me..."

"Ah. It's a personal affair that I don't want to tell others about."

"I'm sorry?"
