Arcane Sniper [Matan’s Shooter]

Even Ram Hwajeong laughed while covering her mouth.

“What’s funny?”

“He really is a likable man. Isn’t that right, Hwajeong?”

“He’s funny.”

“What?”

Leeha was still seriously lifting his musket, but Ram Hwayeon and Ram Hwajeong looked at each other and laughed.

“There’s nothing more unattractive than a man without loyalty. Good. I like it. But I can’t tell you who the parasite is. I really don’t know who it is. Hwajeong wasn’t even there when he approached me.”

Ram Hwayeon shrugged her shoulders while lowering her wand. Leeha got flustered at the sudden disappearance of the tension.

Did these women…… test me?

“Hmm, sorry. We tried to recruit you to our guild, but everything’s a mess.”

There was no way Ram Hwayeon didn’t know. Their relationship had gone awry, there was no way for Leeha to join Hwahong guild now. No, at least ‘not now’.

“Are you going to keep holding your gun like that?”

“Damn it! You’re making me feel embarrassed .”

“Leeha, my proposal itself is real. I didn’t do it to test you.”

“Huh?”

“I am willing to pay you at least 3,000 gold, whether it’s an incentive or an annual salary, including the downpayment of 1000 gold. Join us if you have any thoughts. Don’t you think it’s more efficient to find the traitor when you’re in our guild?”

Ram Hwayeon certainly was an entrepreneur and negotiator.

None of what she said was wrong.

[Come to Hwahong.]

But how did the atmosphere change? Unlike when they stared at each other nervously, now they are smiling harmoniously and Leeha got offered to join the guild again.

If one was an awkward person and with enough persuasion, one would answer ‘Right, that’s a good way.’

Leeha burst into laughter

“Leeha! I really can’t. Did you know that I almost nodded my head without realizing it? Thanks for the offer, but you knew that I would not join anyway, right?”

“Leeha, right. Good. Good luck. Musketeer Ha Leeha-ssi. I will call you again next time.”

“Call? You just suddenly appeared out of the blue this time though.”

Ram Hwayeon turned around without answering.

“Let’s go, Hwajeong.”

“Yes, unni.”

Hwajeong slightly waved her hand toward Leeha.

Were the sisters acting earlier? holding up their wand and ready to shoot magic at any moment? If Leeha had pulled the trigger, would Ram Hwajeong have stayed still?

While he was thinking about that, the Ram sisters used teleport and disappeared.

“Phew……. What should I do?”

Leeha, who was left alone at Kunigo hill, scratched his head.

He wouldn’t be able to solve the problem in Middle Earth if he was blocked. He had no choice but to log out first.

“You are here, director-nim And young lady.”

You’re here!

In front of the Hwahong guild house, eleven people bowed their heads.

“……Didn’t I tell you not to call me director here?”

“S-Sorry, guild master-nim.”

Ram Hwayeon walked without hesitation. The front-most person who greeted her followed Ram Hwayeon.

“Did anything special happen while I was not here?”

“That…… It’s the [Outsider] related matter you had mentioned…”

“What?”

The man looked at Hwayeon as she walked. His brow slightly furrowed.

“I contacted 20 people from the outsider list, but they all said they were not interested in the guild war.”

“Did you tell them they could fight Faust, Shin Nara, and Lee Jiwon?”

They were names that were mentioned in the Byeolcho meeting. Even Ram Hwayeon knew that information in detail.

“Y-yes. They said that those rankers would not come out in these battles. Oh and they even said that they would target Hwajeong-nim.”

“Those hyena-like bastards. Well, I knew it would be like this from the beginning. So, you didn’t get one?”

“No, I didn’t. It falls short of the 20 you mentioned but, one of them accepted our proposal and is currently under negotiation. Here, that person.”

As the man finished, he handed out a paper, and Hwayeon quickly scanned it.

Hwayeon, Hwajeong, and the man continued walking. It was a conversation that could have been done in the office

but they did not waste any second.

“The Alchemist…… he would be perfect for the war. Okay. Keep going and report from time to time”

The three of them opened the office door and entered. There were no fancy decorations. Only materials for practical use. She also watched Ramlong’s work while in Middle Earth.

“Yes, director- no, guild master-nim.”

“We must obtain Dale Castle.”

Hwayeon lightly bit her lip.

Since she started Middle Earth, she wanted to get as much profit as possible. As the Ramlong group announced the discovery of new business, it was impossible to satisfy her father with mediocre profits.

“In that case, the next successor position…”

Since the discovery of the new business, they have not yet reached any breakthrough. It was the beginning of a full-scale business in Dale Castle, so Hwayeon could not miss this event.

“Yes, I will keep that in mind. That, uh, the recruitment of the user who is connected to Shin Nara.”

The middle-aged man followed Hwayeon and served as her assistant.

One of the deputy guild masters of Hwahong guild, and the deputy director of the new business development department of Ramlong group head office.

‘Jacheong’ opened his mouth.

“That thing will be on hold for a while. Things got a little complicated, no, it turned out to be fun. Right, Hwajeong?”

“Yes. I look forward to seeing what oppa would do.” Ram Hwajeong said with a faint smile. Uttering pretty shocking words.

“O-Oppa?”

“Did you just say oppa, Hwajeong-nim?”

“I-It’s not that…” Hwajeong’s body, who sat in the swivel chair, turned around and stiffened. Hwajeong got shy, but Hwayeon and Jacheong thought-

‘Have you ever called someone oppa?’

‘The youngest lady…… smiled and called someone oppa? She doesn’t even call the young masters oppa!’

Hwajeong, who had bewildered the two of them, only dropped her blue hair in front of her and bowed down.

Hwayeon was speechless for a while but soon thought of something else.

“Ah. And.”

“Tell me, guild master-nim.”

“Find out who is giving information to Byeolcho.”

“……Are you talking about that person?”

“Yes. Do you know something?”

“I don’t know anything, but we should be able to find out. I’m going to search from the bottom up.”

“Okay. Please do it quickly.”

“Yes, guild master-nim.”

It would be easy. Jacheong said goodbye and left the office.

When there were no other listeners, Hwayeon smiled and said to Hwajeong.

“Phew, Ha Leeha is as good as expected, right?”

“Yes.”

“He rejected our offer and was ready to fight us.”

“Silly oppa. It wouldn’t even have taken a second to kill oppa.”

“Leeha, right.”

Ram Hwayeon hugged her younger sister and rubbed her hair.

“Do you think he acted like that to raise his own value?”

“Unni probably liked it.”

“Right. There are too many calculating people and the like. Tsk, There are still men who are pure and loyal.. I want him…”

Ram Hwayeon’s eyes twinkled. It had several meanings.

Leeha sent a long message and connected to Middle Earth again.

Kijeong was still connected and hadn’t answered the phone.

‘That child…… When will you read my message? Ah, I’m sorry.’

This time, he revealed everything without hiding anything.

How he got into contact with the Ram sisters, and why he didn’t tell Kijeong. What was the situation and so on?

‘Cough, I have no choice but to explain why I didn’t tell him.’

It was understandable that Kijeong was angry. Even without Kijeong saying it,

Leeha could hear him say, ‘You like women more than your dongsaeng’.

‘I just didn’t want to interfere. I thought he might get upset.’

Phew, Leeha let out a huge sigh, fiddled with Hummingbird, and reloaded.

“Chwiik-! Chwi_!”

As the High Orc’s nose blew, a gunshot swept over it.

The High Orc got knocked down by the bullet that barely pierced its neck.

One shot, one kill. Even with a destructive power that could kill a High Orc in one shot Leeha still sighed.

‘This is the first gun that is so difficult to aim. I should be able to shoot the head by now…’

Leeha was in a rush. It was already afternoon in Middle Earth time. When the next morning came, the war between Hwahong and Byeolcho would begin.

That war had absolutely nothing to do with Leeha.

He had nothing to do with Hwahong or Byeolcho, it was just an interesting spectacle for Leeha.

He had no intention of intervening in the first place.

He simply wanted to protect Kijeong.

‘If Agromni Igor appears, I want to give him a small shot of revenge. But I’m not greedy anymore. I want to clear my misunderstanding with Kijeong.…’

He should help Kijeong. Of course, it didn’t mean that he would belong to Byeolcho and help them. Still, as an [Outsider], he was determined to follow them.

He wanted to get revenge on Agromni Igor in front of Kijeong.

There was a clear purpose for putting a bullet in the head of that madman who would definitely appear.

‘What I need for that is a secret weapon. Right now……? No, no. It shouldn’t be done in a hurry. Shit! I couldn’t take the trump card out in such an important war!’
