The Main Characters That Only I Know (Novel) Chapter 115


Chapter 115

Shin Dong-chul, the leader of the second team of Hanul Clan, was very interested in the new report that came up.

“Kang Yu-hyun, the Teller of Celestial Corporation.”

He had heard of his reputation. 

He was a Teller who traveled around the world with Collectors, unlike other Tellers who were aloof and arrogant. 

He was said to be very courteous and respectful.

If someone met him for the first time, they would mistake him for a real human until he revealed his identity.

Shin Dong-chul knew who he was before his fame spread.

‘So that’s who beat up Jeon Kwang-seok.’

The day Jeon Kwang-seok led his newly contracted Collectors and went out confidently, he came back battered and bruised. 

Of course, Hanul tried to take some measures, but they couldn’t.

The culprit was a Teller.

‘I thought he was annoying since then.’

They couldn’t touch him because he was a Teller. 

But the recent false accusation of sexual harassment changed Shin Dong-chul’s mind.

‘He’s a Teller without any protection. He’s different from other Tellers, he’s more like a freak.’

So he must have wielded his own sword and lived with Collectors. 

That’s not all. 

Hanul, who was watching Baek Seo-ryeon’s movements, noticed one more thing.

The two Collectors affiliated with White Flower Management, Kang Hye-rim and Kwon Ji-ah, were all recruited by the Teller Kang Yu-hyun.

‘He has a great eye for people. Is that a privilege of being a Teller?’

Shin Dong-chul shook his head.

‘If all Tellers were like that, we wouldn’t have such a shortage of allies with our clan. It must be his talent, or ability.’

When he found out that much, Shin Dong-chul started to feel annoyed by Kang Yu-hyun’s existence.

It was just an excuse that he provoked them. 

What really irritated him was that Kang Yu-hyun, the Teller, was the actual leader of White Flower Management, and he had grown Baekhwa, which had no recognition or reputation, in a short time.

‘He’s an excellent negotiator. He’s smart and good at fighting with a sword. And he uses his position as a non-human Teller very well.’

He was something different from the Tellers he had met so far.

Shin Dong-chul felt a strong sense of caution towards him.

Maybe that’s why. 

He was deeply pondering over the proposal that Jeon Kwang-seok sent him, to eliminate the Teller Kang Yu-hyun.

‘He is annoying indeed.’

Shin Dong-chul tapped his desk with his fingertips.

Jeon Kwang-seok must have made this proposal because of his personal grudge against him, but Shin Dong-chul had a bigger picture in mind.

‘If White Flower Management succeeds, Baek Seo-ryeon’s status will also rise as she was their former employee. That will damage our image as Hanul Clan who kicked her out. And above all, I can’t stand that Teller Kang Yu-hyun.’

He didn’t like the feeling of a Teller impersonating a human and slowly invading their industry.

He was a Collector and a businessman. 

He could easily do things like taking someone’s life if necessary.

And today. 

A piece of information came to Shin Dong-chul.

‘White Flower Management is secretly clearing one world this time?’

He couldn’t tell where the information came from, but it was certain that it came from a ‘Teller’.

Shin Dong-chul doubted the authenticity of the information at first, but he realized that some Tellers also found Kang Yu-hyun annoying and someone was trying to use them to get rid of him.

‘It feels a bit annoying to move according to someone else’s intention, but I can’t miss this opportunity.’

Thankfully, White Flower Management seemed to be planning to sneak into this world without attracting other people’s attention.

Then he didn’t have to worry about hiding himself from people’s eyes either. 

No, it had to be done now.

‘If it were before, I would have gone myself, but now I have a position and I don’t have to bother moving.’

Shin Dong-chul immediately picked up the phone and contacted Jeon Kwang-seok.

“Hey. It’s me.”

-Gasp! Yes, yes. Team leader.

“Yeah. I saw your report well.”

-Is, is that so?

“Yeah. It wasn’t bad.”

Maybe it was because he agreed with him, but Jeon Kwang-seok trembled with joy. 

Shin Dong-chul could feel it even over the phone.

A simple guy.

“So I’m going to send some people there, but I need one more person. That’s why I called you.”

-Who, who is it?

“Send the Mobile Team 3.”

-Gasp!

Jeon Kwang-seok swallowed his breath. Mobile Team 3 was a secret force of Hanul Clan. 

The clan couldn’t always do clean and honest things, and Mobile Team 3 was a specialized team that handled the dirty work that the clan couldn’t do in the daylight.

The teams that did honorable work as Collectors in Hanul Clan were 1 to 5.

The teams that did dirty work were 1 to 3.

Among them, Team 3 was the most recently formed one. 

But the name of Mobile Team 3 weighed heavily on Jeon Kwang-seok, who was a business manager.

“Can you do it well?”

-Of, of course! Just leave it to me!

Jeon Kwang-seok didn’t want to miss this rare opportunity. 

He had been clinging to Shin Dong-chul desperately to achieve that. 

He hoped to become the leader of Team 1, the representative of Hanul Clan, someday.

Today he received the reward for his past years.

“Good. I trust you.”

It wasn’t bad for Shin Dong-chul either. Mobile Team 3 was a group of inexperienced people who hadn’t been in real action yet, but they had been trained well and had skills. 

This job would also give them some experience, and he was using Jeon Kwang-seok.

If they failed, he would be responsible for everything.

‘Of course, there’s no way they’ll fail.’

The opponents were one Teller and two Collectors.

No matter how famous they were recently, they couldn’t match the numerical advantage.

‘You have to pull out the annoying weeds early. And you can’t leave any roots behind.’

That’s how he climbed up to the position of the leader of Team 2. 

He crushed and stepped over his competitors without regard for means and methods, and aimed for the top.

He would do the same this time, and in the future.

In the quiet office where no one was, only Shin Dong-chul’s eyes sparkled coldly.

***

Jeon Kwang-seok left the clan with Mobile Team 3.

“…”

He looked back at the people who followed him in a line with a tense expression. 

They didn’t look like they were doing anything ordinary. 

There were 15 of them, regardless of gender. 

They wore uniform outfits and had bleak eyes.

The aura that only those who made killing their business could have.

The unrefined energy made Jeon Kwang-seok feel uneasy.

“…Get ready.”

He barely opened his lips that wouldn’t part and said that.

They were still the team that Shin Dong-chul entrusted to him. 

No matter how scary they were, he felt a bit more confident when he thought of them as his comrades.

Just then, a piece of information arrived on Jeon Kwang-seok’s phone.

It was a report that White Flower Management had moved.

‘Finally!’

As he recalled the sight of Yu-hyun humiliating him in front of everyone, Jeon Kwang-seok felt a surge of rage in his heart.

Now was the time to pay him back for that grudge.

“Let’s go.”

At Jeon Kwang-seok’s words, Mobile Team 3 didn’t answer. 

Instead, they raised their spirits and boarded the prepared vehicles.

Several black cars that departed quietly without making a sound.

There was one pair of eyes watching them from above.

A white ball of fur flying in the sky, Baek-hyo. And what Baek-hyo saw was shared with Yu-hyun.

“They’re on the move.”

At Yu-hyun’s words, Kang Hye-rim and Kwon Ji-ah were slightly surprised. 

It was true that Hanul had shown some movement, just as Yu-hyun had said.

“What did they do?”

“Nothing much. I just asked Celine to let Hanul know that we’re moving today.”

Yu-hyun thought that Hanul would move. 

If they were cautious, he would make them move by setting up a trap for them. 

To avoid any suspicion, he even asked Celine, a Teller, to do it.

“They must have doubted it. But if the bait is so tempting, they can’t help but move.”

“…”

“…”

Kwon Ji-ah felt a chill as she watched Yu-hyun’s scheme unfold before her eyes. 

Had she ever acted so thoroughly and ruthlessly when she tried to do something?

‘What kind of life did he have in his previous life…’

The one who looked at Yu-hyun with a different meaning was Kang Hye-rim.

‘As expected, Yu-hyun is amazing!’

She felt her awe for him grow stronger as everything went according to his plan. 

She thought that she could trust and follow him no matter what he did. 

Kang Hye-rim reaffirmed her will once more today.

“Shall we get ready too?”

Following Yu-hyun, Kang Hye-rim and Kwon Ji-ah also got up. 

They said they were ready, but they had already prepared their weapons and everything else.

At the end of their sight. 

A quiet residential area beyond the construction site. 

There were six signs of life. 

They seemed to have increased their surveillance personnel. 

Even stronger ones were guarding the place.

‘But that’s not enough.’

Yu-hyun smiled slyly and took the lead.

In 10 minutes. 

Mobile Team 3 of Hanul Clan would arrive here. 

So he needed to time it right and lure them in.

“Let’s go.”

The returnee, the sword master, and the Teller who was once human.

It was the first time that the three of them moved together.

***

“Craaack!”

The Twilight Veil Clan member who was guarding the entrance to the world was caught off guard by the sudden attack.

As soon as the three unidentified people showed themselves, it happened in an instant. 

They overpowered the six Collectors who were guarding this place with their unbelievable combat skills.

Five were unconscious with serious injuries, and only one who had a tracking ability managed to stay sane in pain.

“Who, who are you! How dare you…!”

“Are you so curious about who we are? Twilight Veil. I didn’t expect you to hide such a good thing.”

The man who seemed to be the leader among the three. 

His face was not visible, but his gender could be guessed.

As soon as he heard his dark voice, the man shivered.

“Who sent you!”

“It doesn’t matter who sent us. Besides, we weren’t always on good terms, were we? We were all competitors. So don’t be so upset.”

Thud!

The unidentified man, Yu-hyun, said that and deliberately hit his head lightly.

He pretended to knock him out, but he made sure he stayed conscious.

“We’ve taken care of them enough, so let’s go in. Tell the ones who are coming later.”

“Okay. I got it.”

‘They’re coming later?’

The man who pretended to be unconscious perked up his ears at Yu-hyun’s deliberate slip of tongue.

‘Is this dangerous? I have to contact them!’

Maybe it was divine intervention. 

Yu-hyun and his party soon entered the world inside. 

He looked around to see if they would come out right away, but they didn’t seem to have any intention of doing so.

‘I have to hurry!’

The man who pretended to be unconscious carefully grabbed his radio on his waist.

‘Those idiots! They think I’m unconscious?’

If he had been a little more rational, he would have wondered why the enemies didn’t destroy his radio and left it alone. 

But the situation didn’t allow him to do so.

He was so shocked by the sudden attack that he couldn’t think straight, and when his comrades were all taken down, he felt a duty to report this somehow.

He didn’t even know that this was what Yu-hyun had been leading him to from the beginning.

‘How dare you mess with our Twilight Veil? No matter who you are, you’ll pay a heavy price!’

He turned on his radio and contacted the headquarters.

“This is… Beta Six. Do you copy?”

-What’s going on?

“They’re here. Intruders… have appeared.”

-…Got it. We’ll be right there.

The radio was cut off.

And just then, he saw several black cars stopping and people getting out of them. 

They were the reinforcements that the man had just mentioned.

The Collector who sent the radio glared at them with a murderous look.

Without knowing how big a mistake he had made.
