Guide Me If You Dare novel Chapter 292

Chapter 292: AMBUSH

KI GAYOON was the original #1 Esper in South Korea.

Even today, people still recognized him as the strongest, even though Ryu Sungbin was now the country’s official #1.

However, many didn’t like Ki Gayoon for his arrogance and rudeness.

It didn’t help that Ki Gayoon neglected his Esper duties to become a business tycoon. Many Civilians accused him of being a ’traitor’ because he chose his personal profit over the safety of the country.

Hence, to say that all Korean citizens were shocked after seeing Ki Gayoon bow his head while talking to them politely would be an understatement.

Of course, there were still some who scoffed at their nation’s strongest Esper.

"Is he bowing his head because he’s feeling helpless?"

"He shouldn’t have declared Esper Law if he couldn’t handle it."

"I never trusted Ki Gayoon. He’s such an overhyped Esper."

"Can we really trust a businessman who chose profit over his duties?"

However, the majority of the citizens were pleasantly surprised.

"It’s either you live long enough to witness the zombie apocalypse... or witness the arrogant Ki Gayoon-nim use polite speech while bowing his head..."

"But the fact that Esper Ki bowed his head must mean the situation is dangerous..."

"Weird, but I feel safe even though the entire thing sounds serious? I mean, Esper Ki Gayoon-nim is arrogant, yes. But he has the skill to back it up. I may not like him as a person, but I trust him as an Esper."

"I don’t generally agree with the Esper Law because I’ve seen how it ruined other nations, but I’ve never felt safer in my life as a Civilian until now."

"What happened to the other Top 5 Espers, though? Only Ki Gayoon-ssi is working hard."

"The news about Esper Ryu Sungbin-nim and the others being traitors must be true..."

"GAYOON-AH, please bring Noh Yuno here soon."

Ki Gayoon clicked his tongue, annoyed that Kwak Hakjae was spouting bullshit when he was already busy as hell. "For what?"

"I want to bow and kneel in front of Noh Yuno to thank him for turning you into a decent human being," Kwak Hakjae said bluntly. "I’ll even kiss the ground that he walks on if I have to. It may not seem much to Noh Yuno, but taming you is no different from saving the world."

Aigoo.

Ki Gayoon wanted to say something about that, but he figured it would only encourage Kwak Hakjae to tease him more.

This hyung-nim is no different from the sly fox.

Ah, that got Ki Gayoon thinking.

Do I have to call the sly fox ’hyung-nim’ as well?

Tsk.

"Hyung-nim, just arrange the press conference for now," Ki Gayoon said, waving his hand dismissively. "We need to address the issue about Ryu Sungbin and the others."

Kwak Hakjae grinned while nodding. "Yes, sir. Leave it to me."

Haaah.

Finally, Kwak Hakjae left him alone.

But that didn’t mean Ki Gayoon was free now.

He just actually went to another conference room to take care of another issue.

"Boss."

"Boss Oppa."

"Oppa."

Ki Gayoon just nodded when the people in the room greeted him.

Lee Sarang.

The Gu Twins.

Lee Woonhak.

Kang Dabin.

Lucci.

Leehan.

Im Sori.

Kwon Hojun.

Kim Jaeha.

Haru.

Moon Noa.

That was a pretty big group with impressive individuals.

But I can’t send all of them on an errand.

After all, it doesn’t change the fact that losing Ryu Sungbin, Jin Sooin, and Matthew only hurt Korea as a whole.

If 17 said that, then something is about to happen there for sure.

I just sent this hyung-nim on an errand, and he’s already back?

Those are his co-workers, after all.
