It was true that I was half-expecting the Cheng Long Guild to come here with another guild and wanted to see which guild it was . But I did not expect that guild to be the Sunbin Guild . Actually, now that I thought about it, there was a pretty high chance for it to be the Sunbin Guild, especially if I took into account the Sunbin Guild's current strength .
-Is that how it works?-
For some reason, I had completely excluded the Sunbin Guild, even after I had tried to brush myself off of them .
"Jiwon oppa!" Haein had not changed at all . She looked exactly as I had last seen her . That same Haein was running at me full speed with tears welling in her eyes . I did not expect her to act this way at all .
She came to a stop in front of me and looked at me, tears falling down her cheeks . "Jiwon…oppa…"
"Uh… . hi . " It was awkward . Almost five years in all had passed since I last saw her .
"I'm sorry . I'm so sorry . "
"Huh?"
"I should have looked for you earlier…I owed you so much…I'm so sorry . "
"Uh…no, it's okay…" I didn't what to say or do as she stood there, crying . I raised my right hand and patted her head . I didn't know why; I just did .

-How is he here all by himself?-
-Did he actually get here from the first floor faster than us?-
-How did he get through all of those monsters on his own? Is that even possible?-
The officers of the Sunbin Guild and the Cheng Long Guild had many questions, but all wondered the same thing .
-Just who in the world is that man?-
They all knew who he was; Lee Jiwon was pretty famous now . The whole world knew his name from the battle against the Blood Prince and the San Tuan Guild . His power ranking had gone up quite a bit, and many people looked forward to what he would become in the future .
However, none of them could believe that he made his way from the first to the tenth floor on his own . They knew exactly how powerful the dungeon monsters were on each floor . It took this huge group twenty days to get to the tenth floor . They even lost a few on the way .
"Did he come here with the Myth Guild?"
"Maybe they all died and he's the only one left standing . "
"But look at him . He's too clean . He doesn't look like he struggled through the floors . "
"If he truly came with a group, we would have seen signs of large battles throughout the floors . Did you see any? Because I didn't . "
The officers continued to whisper among themselves, but could notcome up with an answer .

Before Song Myungsoo had set out for Mongolia, he had met with his father . They talked about many things as father and son for the first time in a while, and the topic of Song Haein and Lee Jiwon had come up .
"I have to apologize . She's your daughter and my granddaughter, but I was too greedy . "
"No, father, it's all right . "
'I was blinded by all of our success and growth . '
"Father, please . You've done nothing wrong . Look at the guild you've led all these years . We've become so strong that no one can ever challenge us . "
"That's true, but sometimes I think that we grew too quickly . We could have taken it slow, but we didn't even stop to smell the roses . "
"That speed got us this far, father . "
"You're not wrong, but I also think about everyone we kicked away to make it possible . "
"We had no choice…"
'Yes, we can tell ourselves that we had no choice as many times as we want . But know that your own son is one of them . '
" . . . " Song Myungsoo could not retort . It was a deep wound that will never close .
His son, Song Haechang, had never disappointed him before the Great Change . Song Haechang was full of pride and ambition as the third generation heir to the company, but studied and worked very hard to protect his pride and ambition . He also knew when to bend his pride .
"Try to look for Jiwon as discreetly as possible . "
"Lee Jiwon? Why him?"
"These days…the memories of when we first met him aren't leaving me . I'm beginning to see his specialness again . "
"But to look for him now…"
"Just go with the flow . Just find him for now . "
"Understood, father . "
---
Song Myungsoo carefully scanned Lee Jiwon with his eyes . When Song Myungsoo first met Lee Jiwon, it had left such a powerful impression, so much so that he could never forget that day .
-He still…shines brightly . -
Right now, Lee Jiwon was patting Song Haein's head, unsure of what to do, but Song Myungsoo had seen how confidently he stood when they arrived .
"I see you have quite the history with Lee Jiwon," Wai Chung said, after quietly observing the situation .
"That's correct, a very deep history . " That wasn't completely true . In all honesty, their relationship wasn't all that great after the Sunbin Guild had let him go . But Song Myungsoo had developed an instinct throughout the years . It wasn't good enough for politics, but enough for business, and that instinct told him it would be stupid to answer Wai Chung honestly .
"The Sunbin Guild and Lee Jiwon, eh? That's quite the fearsome pair . "
"I'll take that as a compliment . "
---
"You…you don't have to cry . " I never had a grown woman cry in front of me before . Actually, I don't think any woman or girl had cried in front of me before, begging for my forgiveness .
"O…okay . " Haein wiped away at her tears, sniffling . "I heard so many rumors about you . I should have looked for you then…but it became difficult to . I should have been there; we shouldn't have sent you away like that . I'm so sorry . " She began crying again .
"Hey, that's enough now . It's all right . " I'll admit, it wasn't all right back then, but now it was fine . It didn't matter . I wasn't weak, or needed to expect anything from anyone .
"It's been a while, Jiwon . " Song Myungsoo came up with his hand extended . I took it and shook his hand .
"Well, this is very heartwarming . "
I smiled at Wai Chung's sarcastic comment . "This day is only getting better . You seem quite well, Vice-master Song . "
"It's all thanks to you . "
"That's good to hear, sir . "
"I know this isn't the right place to catch up . Would you be opposed to meeting up on a later date?"
"Umm…" Several thoughts surfaced at what he just said . Was he only inviting me after all this time because I made a name for myself, or was I just overreacting? But there wasn't much of a reason to avoid him .
I was strong now and I was only going to get stronger, faster than anyone else . I stood up straight and looked Song Myungsoo square in the eyes .
"Not at all . "
---
After that, both guilds sat down in the safe zone to take a break . In the middle of the zone, the officers of the guilds gathered to plan out the King-Emperor raid . As the first person to arrive at the Tomb, I was part of the planning as well .
"The limit is set to 25 members . "
"The boss type is a humanoid at 4 meters tall and since it uses a sword, it's a fighter class . "
"We may have gone up against several fighter class bosses, but this is a high-grade dungeon . We must go at this with the utmost caution . " The Cheng Long Guild laid out all of their information .
"How do you suggest we fight it?"
"We believe that mages should be the DPS dealers in the raid . Their magic will be the most effective against a fighter class . "
"We'll need a few tanks and healers/supporters to go with them and have the rest as mages . "
No one rejected the idea .
"Perfect . We'll go with that, then . As for the 25 members…" Wai Chung contemplated for a few seconds . "I believe 13 from the Cheng Long Guild and 12 from the Sunbin Guild will be perfect . What do you think?" he asked Song Myungsoo .
I had thought that we would go with 12 from each guild and me since I was the one who got here first . I got up to say something to this bastard, but I felt someone place on my right arm and I looked to see who stopped me .
It was Haein, who hadn't left my side since . She shook her head .
"That sounds good . "
"Perfect . We'll need at least two tanks each; choose your healers and mages accordingly . "
"Yes sir!"
"Understood . "
"You all have ten hours to rest and take care of your equipment . After that, meet up at the eleventh floor entrance . We don't have time to set up tactics with either guild, so we'll go in with two separate parties . We'll just have to make sure to not harm the other party . Does that sound all right?"
"Yes, that's sounds fine . "
"Good . I'll see you all in ten hours . "
---
I found myself amongst the Sunbin Guild's ranks, thanks to Wai Chung's attempt to keep me in check . That didn't really matter to me; what bothered me more was Haein's small smile .
"Sukchul . "
"Yes, Vice-master . "
"Set up a party of 12 . But, be sure to include Jiwon as well . "
"Yes sir . "
"Jiwon," Song Myungsoo turned to address me . "
"Yes sir . "
"I believe you came here first to participate in the raid, am I right?"
"That's right . "
"Good . You will be a free role . Do as you see fit during the raid . We won't interfere . "
"…Thank you . "
---
Ten hours later . . .
All 25 raid participants had gathered in front of the 11th floor entrance . Wai Chung, Song Haein and Song Myungsoo were there as well .
Wai Chung turned to Song Myungsoo . "Shall we distribute the rewards according to the raid contribution?"
"That sounds fair . " Song Myungsoo simply accepted Wai Chung's obvious request . If he was going to be this brazen, there was no convincing him otherwise .
At first, I didn't really want to do much against the King-Emperor . I just needed to do as much as everyone else so that I could be among the first seven to complete the quest .
But now, I wanted to smash that smile off of Wai Chung's face and show the Sunbin Guild the full extent of my abilities . I wanted to show them all who I really was . I wanted to show them all who they were fucking dealing with .
-It'd be nice if Shaman Ko's Stat points activate here, like it did against the Blood Prince . -
I tightened my grip on my Harrier .
