Kuhne was a special pharmaceutical company. It was because they only made medical products for ability users. Not only that, they also did work for people with rare and incurable diseases.
A good pharmaceutical company. That was Kuhne’s image. That’s why it was also one of the companies retired espers and guides wanted to go to. The recovery candy I’d fed Han Miyeon was also made by Kuhne.
Seeing Kuhne’s name here wasn’t pleasant. Kuhne shouldn’t have been that kind of place. I also wanted to transfer to Kuhne after my guide life ended. It was a company that had given me such a good impression too.
Kuhne had an unwavering strength. No matter what regime came in, no matter what external pressure there was, Kuhne had its own stubbornness. That saved countless ability users. All ability users owed their lives to the company called Kuhne.
When I was a novice guide, I’d even read biographies about the founders, the Perez Kuhne and Franklin Kuhne brothers.
Why was Kuhne involved here? What people from Kuhne had joined this ruthless plan? I scrolled down. Author HatefulCat had explained in detail in the author’s note section what kind of place Kuhne was. Readers looked at that explanation and started speculating among themselves.
[Reader1] The 4 organizations seem to be MK/Pamundong/VENT/Kuhne like this. Is the Alliance Leader not affiliated with any of them?
[Reader2] Could the white-haired bird hunter ajusshi be affiliated with Kuhne?
⤷ 2222
⤷ Or maybe VENT, Haewon’s dad!
⤷ Oh then somehow Haewon’s dad and Haewon would be fucking hostile lol
[Reader3] But Haewon, if you like him that much, why don’t you express it? ㅠㅠ Does Garam seem like a psychic-type esper too? He doesn’t know~~
⤷ Really so frustrating. Please add the frustration ball keyword, author-nim ㅠㅠ
⤷ But it is cool though….drool…(Haewon’s heart)
The readers who wrote comments weren’t certain about the white-haired gunman ajusshi’s identity either. To reveal that, Will Taylor’s identity was important. Depending on where that person was affiliated, the four organizations would be sorted out.
The most mysterious one was MK, which was based in San Francisco. That place where a person named Alexa Lu was. I had information I knew about VENT and Kuhne. But MK was a company I didn’t know at all. What kind of organization could it be? Thinking I should look into it slowly, I started reading Chapter 19.
In this chapter, after returning to the Chinese Ability User Association research facility, the argument between Kim Haewon and me was depicted. After hearing the words I spat out in the waiting room, he fell into thought. It was because he felt that Garam in the novel spoke honestly.
A strong distrust was felt in Garam’s tone. Dissatisfaction and hatred toward him were felt in his eyes too.
‘Did I do something so wrong? Enough to be hated like this.’
Haewon couldn’t understand. It was because he’d done his best to carry out the operation. But soon he looked back on his actions and started to understand a little.
It was because when he asked himself if he’d done his best to protect Garam throughout this operation, it was difficult to say yes.
Ryu Heegang’s condition was worse than expected, and Pamundong had acted extremely. Since someone’s life was at stake every moment, Garam was always second priority.
Moreover, the danger of the information he knew made Haewon afraid. Because the more he knew, the more dangerous it could become. It wasn’t that he suspected him of being a traitor.
He didn’t know where he got his information, but if he continued to find out in the future, the danger would repeat like when he was harmed by Suo Weiqian.
Haewon quickly realized his mind was now full of excuses. He made Garam regret all the words and actions he’d done trusting him. To distrust him and hate him. That fact tormented him.
The thought that he would continue to hate him in the future began to rise. Along with a bit of impatience.
“Guide Park Garam, I…”
At that moment, Director Kim Jeongseon appeared.
I scrolled down with an indifferent expression. Because author HatefulCat packaged Kim Haewon as favorably as possible, there was a high possibility this narration didn’t exactly match the heart of Kim Haewon here.
‘Damn BL.’
If it weren’t for that genre, I could have known Kim Haewon’s honest inner thoughts. Then again, even now it’s problematic because he’s too honest, so if he spoke more directly, would only I get hurt?
I scrolled down with a sigh. There was nothing useful in this chapter. It was all just Kim Haewon’s emotions written out in a row.
Haewon couldn’t hear how the meeting was progressing. It was because he kept thinking of Garam’s face, sitting still alone among numerous foreigners.
{Haewon, focus even if it’s boring.}
To the extent of receiving light advice from Gabriel. Haewon nodded his head. The SS-class espers continued their conversation about Ryu Heegang’s situation very seriously.
{If we can’t reveal who did this, we’ll end up pointing our swords at ourselves again. The Association must not act conservatively anymore.}
Emily, who had been deployed to the operation first, spoke in a strong tone. Akutagawa, who had returned to America as soon as the operation ended, answered indifferently.
{The Association hasn’t always protected us either. Let’s not have expectations this time either. It’s every man for himself.}
Haewon looked at information from his personal informant and continued speaking.
{It’s been confirmed that Alexa Lu from the MK Group visited Pamundong.}
Haewon’s words stopped the murmuring of the SS-class espers. The information Haewon had was the fastest level in the world, and its reliability was also high.
{I think we should investigate MK and Pamundong in detail. There will be clues there.}
Haewon tried to end the meeting with those words. He had that authority.
Implicitly, SS-class espers also had rankings, and among them, Haewon was definitely the strongest. When Haewon stood up from his seat, Akutagawa continued speaking.
{There’s no mention of the last technique you used when catching Heegang?}
Even though he said he’d disguise it, he seemed to have figured it out with cameras. Gabriel and Emily, who had been at the scene, kept their mouths shut. It was an overwhelming technique shown in an instant.
{It’s a technique not worth seeing. I’m ending the meeting.}
With that one remark, Haewon dismissed the question and left the conference room. When a management department employee appeared, he asked immediately.
“Where is Guide Park Garam?”
He had to see the gloomy face that hadn’t left his mind the whole time. Because he had words he needed to explain.
“No, does everyone all know what MK does? Who Alexa Lu is? Is it all good if only they know? Shouldn’t they tell the readers too?”
I couldn’t even shout loudly because of the soundproofing. I scrolled down while venting complaints in a small voice. Kim Haewon comes looking for me as soon as the meeting ends. He tries to open the door and enter, then waits a moment knowing I’m on a call with someone.
“Hello. Yes, I’m okay. I’m not really hurt either.”
There was no strength at all in Garam’s voice. Who was he reporting to? For a moment, half doubt and half curiosity rose in Haewon’s heart. Garam continued speaking in a voice still lacking strength.
“Yes. But well… I didn’t do anything.”
It was words that belittled himself. Garam had done a lot. Because he desperately tried to help at every moment. Regardless of what suspicions he received. That much had to be made clear.
Haewon reached out and grabbed the doorknob. Regardless of who he was on a call with, he wanted to face him. When Haewon impulsively opened the door, he faced Garam with reddened eyes.
Haewon was swept up in indescribable emotions. He was crying. While desperately trying to hide it because he didn’t want to show him.
I read the text without being able to get rid of my displeased expression. The author was too biased toward Kim Haewon. There was no way Kim Haewon actually felt like this. I scrolled down mercilessly.
He got angrier at the fact that the person on the call was Nam Ihyeon. Nam Ihyeon and Park Garam had no relationship, so why did they keep contacting and meeting separately? In fact, shouldn’t he rely more on him? Why did he show tears during a call with Nam Ihyeon?
Haewon couldn’t understand everything. He was so angry he couldn’t hold it in. As he slammed the door and came out, his breathing became rough. His head was hot. Haewon didn’t look back and just crossed the corridor.
It was an absurd description. Anyone would feel as if Kim Haewon had fallen for me and was lovesick or something. Chapter 19 ended like that. From my perspective, there was no gain at all. But the readers’ reactions were hotter than Chapter 18.
[Reader1] Hey Kim Haewon you bastard, if you’re just going to burn inside alone like that, give up the main gong position you son of a bitch
⤷ Just give Garam to Ihyeon…give him.. that would be better
[Reader2] But still, now that I know Haewon’s heart, it’s a bit better ㅠㅠ Until now I didn’t know what he was thinking so he was just annoying
⤷ 2222 definitely when Haewon’s perspective comes out, the frustration is relieved a bit
[Reader3] With this, the Nam Ihyeon stocks I bought are safe. I confirmed they’re blue-chip stocks on an upward trend. The era of the sub-gong winning is coming! Fighting fighting
Even though in Chapter 18 they’d been sharply deducing, all the readers had returned to being BL maniacs. No one talked about MK.
Someone looked for Kim Haewon, someone looked for Nam Ihyeon. But no one thought to take me out. If they like those two, can’t they pair those two together? I put down my phone thinking I wanted to leave a comment about a development no one was doing. Knock knock, a knocking sound was heard.
“Guide-nim, the plane has arrived.”
“Yes.”
I got up from my seat. Outside the door, there was only one management department employee. I looked around the vicinity. Kim Haewon wasn’t there.
