The Beginning of the Filthy Conspiracy
The guild leader of Baekho Guild, Baek Hyeong-won, let out his anger in a quiet voice from his office.
Every time he thought about Kim Ho-jun, the SSS-class hunter, Baek Hyeong-won grew angrier.
He couldn't believe that this cheeky brat, who was only fifteen years old, was acting so arrogantly toward himself, the guild leader of one of Korea's top ten guilds.
'This is troublesome.'
He had tried to recruit him first before other guilds, but seeing his arrogant attitude, even if he had to take him from other guilds, it seemed he should prioritize bringing him in.
He didn't need a troublemaker in his kingdom, Baekho Guild, who would cause a coup.
And he saw the woman attached to him, Seomun Ye-jin.
Even at fifteen, the young girl had an amazing beauty and figure.
If she were sold at a secret auction place that villains often use, it would fetch an enormous sum.
Of course, Baek Hyeong-won hadn't touched the human trafficking side because he feared the Kangin Guild's surveillance, but he had looked up the price.
'It's a pity, but there's no choice.'
There was no clean guild among the top ten. Everyone had some corruption as a given, and if it weren't for the Kangin Guild, they might have been even more corrupt behind the scenes.
No, they might have even engaged in power struggles and violent clashes.
As an SS-class hunter, Baek Hyeong-won, it was truly fortunate.
If other guilds with SSS-class hunters as guild leaders, like the Chilseong Guild or Taehan Guild, were to run wild without the Kangin Guild's restraint, it would be terrifying.
There was a bit of regret that they couldn't extend their hand to high-profit human trafficking, but compared to the benefit of avoiding Baekho Guild's threat, it was a minor loss.
'For the sake of our Seo-jin, Baekho Guild must be nurtured well.'
It had to be nurtured well and passed on to his beloved son Baek Seo-jin.
Baek Hyeong-won thought he was a good parent.
He thought himself more precious than Baekho Guild to his son Baek Seo-jin, and he had worked hard to pass all the power of this Baekho Guild to his son.
The son Baek Seo-jun, his eldest son, had been erased from memory long ago since he was dead now.
No, he hadn't completely erased him.
He needed to remember to pretend to be a grieving father after losing his son.
His wife Kim Yu-jeong had the same thought, so the couple had suffered at first to pretend to be sad, but now they had become quite skilled at acting.
'He was meant to be useful and then disposed of after use. But for the sake of Seo-jin, it was useful to sacrifice him.'
Baek Seo-jun was going to be disposed of anyway someday.
He was a useless existence that would only stir up trouble inside Baekho Guild.
But since he had talent, he was useful to use first, then dispose.
It was truly unfortunate that the fact that he was born as the older brother and could inherit the legacy meant for his beloved son Baek Seo-jin.
Since he was handed over to the villains for Baek Seo-jin and died, he had been useful enough.
With his beloved beautiful wife Kim Yu-jeong and his kind and talented son Baek Seo-jin.
The perfect and happy family formed by the three had always warmed Baek Hyeong-won's heart.
"Seo-jin is interested in Seomun Ye-jin, that girl."
This matter couldn't be lightly dismissed.
Seomun Ye-jin.
The girl with amazing beauty that he saw was too good for that thunderclap-like brat Kim Ho-jun.
Since she was likely still a virgin who hadn't experienced sex at fifteen, he needed to educate her from now on.
To make her a girl who obeys and is loyal to his son, Baek Seo-jin.
'I need to discuss this with my wife.'
It wouldn't be that she would obediently follow if he kidnapped Seomun Ye-jin and brought her.
More importantly, if he forcibly kidnapped her, he would have to fight against the SSS-class hunter Kim Ho-jun, and he couldn't be sure that Baekho Guild's power could handle an SSS-class hunter.
And if he used kidnapping and Kangin Guild noticed, it would be troublesome.
The fact that Baekho Guild, one of the top ten guilds, would eventually be under the control of the Kangin Guild that controls all guilds in Korea had not changed.
"Honey, come here for a moment."
Not long after Baek Hyeong-won called his wife, his wife Kim Yu-jeong entered.
"What's the matter, dear?"
"Ah, I called you because I wanted to discuss an important matter for Seo-jin."
"If it's important, is it about that girl Seomun Ye-jin?"
"Yes. It's about that girl that Seo-jin is desperately wanting."
Baek Seo-jin had interest in Seomun Ye-jin.
Just that fact alone, the couple was planning a conspiracy.
* * *
"Tsk."
Baek Hyeong-won and Kim Yu-jeong.
These two were testing his patience to the limit.
They were plotting to somehow get Seomun Ye-jin into their grasp just because Baek Seo-jin showed interest.
He had confirmed that he could just give instructions to the guy who specializes in such things normally, but in their conversation, the identity of that guy wasn't mentioned.
'Should I investigate?'
As he thought that, Seomun Ye-jin approached him.
After finishing her photoshoot and lightly showering, she came to him with her body still damp.
"Mr. Seo-jun, would you like a lap pillow?"
"Aigoo, why suddenly lap pillow?"
She was saying she would give him a lap pillow out of the blue. Hearing that, Seomun Ye-jin smiled bashfully.
"Just~ The humans who are Seo-jun's parents. They were really the worst. I heard that guild leaders of top 10 guilds are scary people, but those people were completely disgusting humans."
Guild leaders of top 10 guilds were rarely clean humans, as they rose to the position through power and skill.
But those whose leash they held was the Kangin Guild, and they were obediently following the order out of fear of the Kangin Guild's power.
In the original story, there was an implication that if the Kangin Guild disappeared, Korea would become an abeyance hell with power struggles among the top 10 guilds.
But because Baek Hyeong-won and Kim Yu-jeong are the protagonist's parents, in the original story, their evil deeds weren't depicted, just that they weren't clean.
"So, are you comforting me because my situation is pitiful?"
"Yes! Lie down. Lie down here. I'll comfort you~"
Hearing Seomun Ye-jin's words, I just laughed lightly.
As we spent time together, we could now casually share such words.
"Alright. Miss, I'll take a moment of your time."
I lay my head on Seomun Ye-jin's thigh and lay down. Lying my head on Seomun Ye-jin's thigh in short dolphin pants, the touch of her soft skin stimulated me.
Moreover, the scent of her body from close distance felt more and more stimulating rather than becoming familiar as days passed.
And Seomun Ye-jin started stroking my head with a soft touch.
"Miss, what are you doing now?"
"I'm comforting you. Mr. Seo-jun is strong in power, but don't you need someone to comfort you from the side? Hehe~"
I looked up at Seomun Ye-jin's face smiling while saying she was comforting me, and I felt that her large breasts were quite obstructing the view.
It seemed there was no need to bring this up in words.
"Miss."
And in the position of lying my head on her thigh, I told her about the fact I had just learned.
"Baek Hyeong-won and Kim Yu-jeong are targeting you, miss."
"Me?"
"Yes. Because Baek Seo-jin, that guy, likes you, it seems they want to make you Baek Seo-jin's plaything."
Seomun Ye-jin's expression upon hearing my words was filled with deep disgust.
"Truly disgusting things."
"I gave up on kidnapping you with power because I was scared."
"Even kidnapping? Really, there are no villains."
"If it weren't for the Kangin Guild, they would have done it anyway. Anyway, shall we act before they make their move?"
My words meant that I was partially giving up on my revenge.
Upon hearing my proposal to cut the buds before they harm Seomun Ye-jin, she opened her eyes wide, then smiled slightly and asked.
"For me? They are trying to stop them before they harm me?"
"...That's right."
Hearing my answer, Seomun Ye-jin smiled as if satisfied.
"I'm fine. It seems they're making some scheme... but anyway, won't Mr. Seo-jun protect me from kidnapping? Right?"
"Yes."
"Then it's okay. Just stay still, Mr. Seo-jun. If you intervene early because of me, your revenge won't be properly realized, right? Seeing those people earlier, they were really human trash that killing them wouldn't satisfy."
Hearing Seomun Ye-jin's words, I just closed my eyes.
While listening to her voice, in this moment with my head on her thigh, it was just peaceful.
But a few hours later, the content that appeared on the internet articles of women's exclusive newspapers made Seomun Ye-jin's expression harden.
