In the Name of God - Chapter 43.2
Woo Hyeran’s face contorted with bewilderment.
“My, my, you are a dangerous person.”
Her voice quickly shifted into a pleasant tone.
At any rate, she seemed extremely pleased with the fact that she had recruited two excellent talents.
***
After Seong Do-yoon and Lee Sunho signed the contracts and departed.
Woo Hyeran, remaining alone in the representative’s office, was watching a video on a tablet.
Inside a black-tinted translucent barrier.
Within the black veil that surrounded the space like a glass film, the figures of two men facing a bizarre monster composed of black fragments of a golem filled the screen.
Not only was their synchronicity as vanguard and rearguard excellent, but their individual combat senses were also superb.
A swordsman who cut through a barrier that even high-ranking awakened ones find difficult to penetrate with a single strike.
A marksman who showed a level of mana manipulation that suggested he wasn’t just sensing it, but dominating it entirely.
Both possessed talents that made it impossible to believe they were awakened ones who had only just received their Rank 7 tags.
‘It is no wonder the large clans were interested.’
To anyone watching, these were the finest of raw gems.
At that moment, the presence of someone was suddenly felt in a corner of the office. A woman who looked like a shadow in a black suit stood in a spot that had certainly been empty just a moment ago.
As if meeting her was not a rare occurrence, Woo Hyeran spoke to her nonchalantly without even a greeting.
“Thanks to your side, I picked up some good gems.”
The woman in the black suit did not even bat an eyelid.
No change that could be called an expression could be found on her face.
“When you told me to send first division members as scouts to a lower-tier promotion exam site, I wondered what kind of scheme you were up to.”
Woo Hyeran laughed as she snapped the tablet shut.
She spoke as if joking, but her underlying intent was to probe for information.
“The person I know is not someone who would do something beneficial for others for free. What exactly are you after?”
“Do not question my actions.”
It was a short sentence.
“That should be our agreement.”
It was a warning and a form of pressure to keep the promise.
Woo Hyeran shrugged her shoulders while holding up both hands.
“Okay. Understood.”
The air inside the representative’s office loosened slightly.
She leaned against the back of her chair and switched which leg was crossed.
“Just pass a message to ‘that person’ behind you.”
After exhaling a short breath, she grinned.
“I would welcome this kind of cooperation anytime.”
The woman in the black suit did not give an answer.
However, her gaze lingered briefly on the tablet screen before being withdrawn.
A moment later, her presence vanished as quietly as it had first appeared.

After finishing the signing and stepping outside, Lee Sunho and I encountered Park Junggeon, who was standing at the end of the hallway with his arms crossed and a wide grin.
As if he were someone who had prepared congratulations in advance, believing the contract would be finalized, his face was full of satisfaction.
“Judging by the atmosphere, it seems things went well?”
“The Clan Master was very generous and straightforward.”
“Our Clan Master is nothing if not bold.”
When I shrugged, Park Junggeon approached with a look of delight.
“Now then, since I am your first division senior, follow me and I will show you new recruits around the facilities!”
Looking for some reason quite excited, he led us around the interior of the building step by step.
The gym, the common lounge, the indoor shooting range, and the simulated combat arena.
The facilities were diverse enough that each floor seemed to be organized with a different concept.
As we passed between them, Park Junggeon asked casually.
“I am your first division senior and your older brother figure, so I can speak comfortably, right?”
If he added the title of ‘older brother’ on top of ‘first division senior,’ I couldn’t really say no.
“Go ahead.”
I nodded, and since something had just come to mind, I took the opportunity to ask.
“How are the dormitories?”
According to what was specified in the contract, we should be able to enter the dormitories for free even if we were currently in the third division.
At the thought that I could leave the house I currently live in, which is like a ruin, while only spending money on moving costs, I was extremely curious about the dormitory environment.
Park Junggeon said it was a good question and mentioned that he had been living in the dormitory for two years himself.
“It’s comfortable. Since I live in the middle of Gangnam for free, life is ve—ry much worth living.”
I couldn’t tell if his tone was serious or joking, but judging by his expression, he seemed fully satisfied.
“Are you two moving into the dormitory? It’s two people per room, so I think it would be perfect if you two moved in together.”
As soon as he heard that, the eyes of Lee Sunho, who had been quiet until then, sparkled.
“Two people per room…”
The point the guy was dwelling on was a bit strange.
