Chapter 150: Dragon Siblings (3)
-Mr . Government Official, isn’t it cheating to threaten me with my pet? You’re a civil servant!
“I’m asking you to act sensibly . ”
While Taewon Song held a monster prisoner, a request to stop causing damage to the city could hardly be called a threat . Riette growled, and the jewel snake bit into Taewon Song’s hand in response . While shiny liquid that looked like poison splattered from its teeth, his black shadow nullified it all . The small snake twisted its body in anger, and it looked like it had a strong personality like its owner .
“Um, will this be reported to the guild?”
Soyoung Kang slid quietly from Riette like someone who had been caught drunk driving . She seemed to have realized that she had gone too far .
“Yes . ”
“I mean, we hadn’t done much yet . ”
Taewon Song’s eyes looked over the ruined dungeon building and the shattered ground . The paved roads and precast pavers had disappeared without a trace . Soyoung Kang frowned at Taewon Song’s quiet but firm gaze . While Riette had been the main reason, Soyoung Kang was responsible for Riette’s transformation .
“Director Song, can you help me out for once? I might not receive equipment auction tickets if I receive any minus reports, since I have too many speeding tickets this month already! I have to get equipment for Comet!”
“No . ”
Taewon Song was firm, and I realized how important this guy was . Who would be able to enforce the law to an A class attacker if not him, and also to an S class? I mean, grabbing an S class hunter’s pet and flashing it in front of her could not be done by anyone . Riette had been in her dragon form that was adorned with thorns and scales like armor . An ordinary individual would not be able to say a word .
‘There had been countries where an S class hunter had been a king . ’
If a small country had only one S class hunter, the individual could not be controlled or replaced . It would be a difficult task to bring a free hunter in this dungeon saturation state .
“Mr . Yoojin Han!”
Soyoung Kang targeted me to know after being blocked by Taewon Song . She walked up to me after I had got down from Noah’s back to a safe place due to a lowered fear resistance and looked up at me with desperate blue eyes .
“Can’t you put in a word for me to the Guild leader?”
“Yes?”
“You’re close to him, and I really need that auction ticket! Hyuna has her eyes on that equipment, and I can’t buy it even if I had the money since her priority rankings are higher than me . It’s an S class equipment for a riding beast, and S class equipment is prioritized to S class hunters . So I need the Guild leader’s auction ticket!”
An S class equipment for a riding beast? Yoohyun would need it, and Soyoung Kang added a word the moment the thought passed my mind .
“It’s good for flying-type monsters . ”
So, that was why Hyuna Moon was after it since I hinted at assigning her Blue .
“I’m not close, and how about asking him directly?’

“He does not look over minus points regarding public image management . The only exception is him . ”
Soyoung Kang looked sullen . So, he was the exception . One thing that large-sized domestic guilds paid the most attention to was the public image management of its high-class hunters . Them causing trouble outside dungeons rather than inside them was more challenging to control and might become an exploitable weakness .
“Then I won’t be of much help . I’m not close to him . ”
“Yes, you are . Please, just once! I’ll help you out whenever you need me! You can ask me to clean!”
Why cleaning? Does she hate it?
“Stop there, Hunter Soyoung Kang . ”
Yoohyun spoke coldly as he came up next to me . He was like ice, and perhaps the rumors I heard before the return might have been false . Or was it because he was Minyui Kim now? Being friendly as someone else would make things difficult, and being cold would be the right answer now .
“I’ll put in a word . ”
I smiled at a despondent Soyoung Kang, since making her indebted to me would pay off when I considered her skill .
“Don’t be expectant . ”
“Thank you!”

Soyoung Kang bowed with a bright smile as if her problem was solved already . I had said not to be expectant .
“Why are you listening to her whines?”
Yoohyun spoke in a whisper .
“Being involved in another guild’s affairs will not have good results . ”
“I’m only going to be a messenger and take credit . ”
Hyunjae Sung would not agree to it if he had any sense anyway . Riette came back to her human form, and her glare sent chills down my spine . However, Taewon Song did not move a muscle, since sadly, he would have been used to this kind of situation .
“How about fighting after you let go of Velare?”
“I’ll force you out of this country if you cause any more trouble . ”
“You’re touchy . ”
Riette laughed sharply, and while her face said she wanted to rush as Taewon Song, she did not move for the jewel snake’s safety . She must care for that snake more than I had thought, but what use did she have for the beast since she did not need one to ride one?
‘What characteristics did a jewel snake have?’

It had not been seen in domestic dungeons, and I thought I had seen one on a TV special for beautiful beasts .
“Hey, Pebble . ”
Riette crooked her neck and looked up to Noah, who was flying above in his dragon form . Noah raised his scales behind his neck, and his pale gray eyes rolled in tension .
“I’m amazed that you gave a monster I’m raising to someone else . I had only told you where I hid it just in case . ”
-…You told me so I can raise it instead .
Noah replied, even as he shuddered .
-You’re too aggressive . You didn’t even listen as Mr . Yoojin Han tried to stop you .
“What’s with this sudden nonsense? I have been like this all my life .
-Being used to you does not mean I like your actions . And I’m Noah and not Pebble .
Riette’s laugh was quiet as Noah spoke with clenched teeth and the end of her foot spun as it crushed the ground underneath . She flew up in the air .
