Regressor Instruction Manual (PART 1)

Chapter 157: Hypocrite (1)

"Hahahaha. I think we understood each other better than I thought."

"I think so, too. Blue Vice Guild Master."

"There will be a lot of business meetings in the future. You'll be sure to benefit a lot from this agreement."

"Yes..."

"Wow... And the stories I heard today was very interesting. In particular, the one related to Hyejin."

"Yes. In fact, I was a little surprised that she was in Blue. I told you today, but as you heard, she is not a good quality person. Some talk as if she is an apostle of justice... Tut-tut. It must have been because of their personal grudges. Actually, our guild was cleared of its charges."

"Ah! I see."

"Actually, we didn't agree with each other in almost every case. At first, I thought she was a little complacent, but she started intervening in everything as soon as she got the executive position. I didn't know if she was asking me to raise her salary or to do something else, but it was very difficult because this happened constantly."

"What were you accused of?"

"That's..."

"If you don't want to tell, there is a way for me to find out personally, Song Jungwook-ssi."

"Ha... Haha. Of course, I can. The charges were cleared anyway. It was a monster deal."

"Ah."

"Apart from the tax issues... There was a problem with the treatment of the guild staff, but the most important thing was the charges of illegal monster trading."

"I see."

"She turned small things into big problems, and she is not flexible enough. There were a lot of problems in the dungeon and elsewhere. She also caused various troubles with other guilds."

"Ah. She looked a little like that. There was a strong feeling of being stubborn."

"She is a person who has a lot of problems in many ways. Ah! You should also have a drink, Hayan-ssi."

"N-No... I'm good, Song Jungwook-nim."

"It seems that Hayan-ssi doesn't like alcohol very much."

'This guy lays flat better than expected.'

His arrogance from before had completely dissipated. He was now like a dog wagging its tail.

His ability to suck up to me certainly stimulated my sense of superiority.

'Well, I still don't know if it's real or not.'

If one were to think about his unique characteristic, there was a high probability that he was planning something. He was either going to backstab me, or find a way to use me properly.

'That's why it's more fun, but...'

Particularly, it felt amusing seeing him badmouthing Cho Hyejin. I'd have to filter half of it, but I could still get a rough idea of what kind of situation she had been in. Jungwook had probably manipulated the public's opinion of her.

I thought he would have isolated Cho Hyejin with words such as 'I don't like her' or 'She a bit suspicious.' The words of those in power garnered the most trust, after all.

It would have taken less than a few months to isolate a woman like Cho Hyejin.

As the conversation dulled, Song Jungwook glanced at me.

"It's late. How about sleeping here tonight, Lee Kiyoung?"

"Ah! It's already this late. Thank you for the favor, but I think it would be better to return. Marlin Young-ae will be worried. Haha."
