“Uncle…”

Richie couldn’t keep up with the conversation.

Seonghyun was well aware of how big his uncle’s existence was for Richie, so he lowered his head slightly and placed his hand on Richie’s shoulder and said.

“Now you should be happy. There was only one thing left to improve. But since when have you been sick?”

“It’s been quite a while. About a month?”

“A month? Why didn’t you tell me right away…”

“I can’t help it because I’m busy. Even if you are so precious to me that you cannot rank them, it is not so to Hunter Kim Seong-hyun.”

To be honest, Sunghyun was a little surprised at Richie’s words.

How many people have this kind of thinking among those who have asked Sung-hyun for treatment or gave him such attention?

Probably not.

“Do you have a very unique idea?”

“Gee, is it special?”

Richie was startled by the child-like word, but he wasn’t offended.

“However, I couldn’t receive treatment for a month because of some pain…”

“I don’t know because you rarely talk to me.”

“Then shall we go right away? I have plenty of time, and I don’t have a lot of work to do.”

“Thank you.”

If it was a Richie with the honor and power of being number one in the world, in fact, it was at a level where he could give orders rather than ask Seonghyun like this.

It was also a situation where Seong-hyeon had not yet revealed her power properly, and another healing ability appeared.

On the other hand, Rich had enough power to subdue a small country in an instant with his own power.

The Republic of Korea was not included here, but the fact that Rich moves is that America’s top-level hunters are moving.

Richie’s request was only a request on the surface, and in fact, it had the power and position close to commands and notifications.

That’s why I liked Richie’s attitude even more.

The sincerity in his voice and expression probably made Richie want to listen to even an ordinary person.

“Are you very worried?”

“yes? Ah… that’s right. They are just like your parents.”

“it’s okay. ’cause I’m going I will drive.”

“Driving is fine…”

“I think if I drive like that now, there will be more people I need to treat.”

“Hey, I’m good at driving!”

Perhaps he was proud of his driving skills, but Richie was furious for a moment, but since no one had ever driven his own car, he decided to entrust himself for today.

“Where is your house?”

“You won’t be home now. Even though you are sick, the restaurant continues to operate.”

“okay? So, would you like to go faster?”

Even so, Seonghyeon felt a little relieved because she seemed to be able to move her body, and headed to the restaurant where Richie had gone.

“Well?”

Arriving in front of the restaurant, there was a group of men, neatly dressed in black suits.

“What… is it?”

Richie looked at them with bewildered eyes as if he had not expected such a situation.

It wasn’t good news that an unknown group, usually dressed in suits, was waiting.

“What happened…!”

Seonghyeon blocked the front of Richie who was about to jump out.

“Ritchie-sama, please monitor the situation.”

“How about Hunter Kim?”

“I think we should find out what happened before we came.”

Seonghyeon got out of the car first and went into the store just across the street.

“Come on… huh? I think I saw it somewhere…”

“hello. I have a question for you. Do you know what happened before?”

Sung-hyeon looked at his face and turned the thoughts of the employee who was trying to remember who he was.

“Ah, over there? It has been like this since morning.”

“From morning? And?”

“It’s from this morning, actually, it’s been a few days. that shop. Are you famous? The only haven for people with nowhere to go and no money. Where did all that money come from?”

The store run by my uncle did not take any money at all.

I only received money that was close to the cost, and even if I could buy materials with that money, I would not have been able to lead a normal life.

“Did you borrow money?”

“It’s been quite a while. The shop owners around me were well aware of your good deeds, so they helped me, but the period was too long, and the regular flooding of the first-class doors that appeared nearby recently reduced the number of people coming here. The store’s sales have also declined.”

“It’s a vicious cycle.”

“Actually, what you have endured so far has been amazing. Who knows? A lot of people applaud and praise, but not many send money.”

This seemed to be enough information.

Perhaps he endured and endured like that, and then he died inside without being treated properly.

without telling anyone.

“Thanks for the details.”

As a token of gratitude, Seong-hyun left a stack of banknotes on the table and left.

“Hey, so many…”

The employee muttered as he looked at Sunghyun’s back as he left a stack of banknotes.

“But I must have seen it somewhere…”

It didn’t remain in my mind because I wasn’t American, but it was definitely someone I saw somewhere.

He is also very famous.

“Well, what would be different if I knew…”

Since it had nothing to do with him anyway, the employee turned his gaze away.

At the same time, there was a TV at the end of his gaze, and the TV was talking about Sung-hyun again.

“…uh? That person…”

Even people who couldn’t recognize human faces at all knew this.

The person on TV right now is the owner of the bundle of money.

“I’m glad.”

That was the first thought I had.

I could have wondered why I had come and why they gave me such a large amount of money, but when I found out who this person was, I had no doubts at all.

“I heard that you are not feeling well. It’s really good.”

A man who didn’t even give a helping hand.

It was clear that the man who had sacrificed his whole life and sacrificed for others and even ruined his own body would finally be rewarded for the good deeds he had done so far today.

After leaving the store, Seonghyeon headed for the car first.

Perhaps he didn’t even feel that he was approaching, Richie was looking at his uncle’s shop with an anxious look.

“how about it? Did nothing happen?”

“Ah yes. Not yet.”

But I was even more worried that nothing was going to happen.

“I went and asked, and he said he had debts,”

“Debt…?”

It was something I had never imagined.

It wasn’t that Richie didn’t think of this, either, but he had said in the past that he was running a store with the legacy he had inherited from his parents, and in Richie’s memory, his house was a house where he lived a normal life.

“Neighboring stores also helped a lot, but it’s not good because the number of customers has decreased due to the regular flooding of first-class doors, so sales have also declined.”

“They are sure to be creditors.”

“yes. It looks more gentle than I thought, though.”

As Seong-hyun said, they were different from ordinary debtors.

People who are more likely to use the word creditor than the word debtor.

“But what are you doing…”

Seonghyun couldn’t finish everything he was saying.

Before it was over, another crowd appeared from the other side.

“That’s…”

Pretty familiar look.

The clothes were very similar to the clothes that Seong-hyeon had seen or worn before returning.

Appearing in work clothes worn at the construction site, they suddenly continued to explain the uncle’s shop.

The old man who was in the store at that time also hurriedly ran out.

As if it were already his own, he was poking around in the store, so even the customers inside couldn’t eat properly.

“Gee, what are you doing now? There are still other guests…”

“So are you? If I do a good deed, can I not pay my money back?”

“It’s not…”

what can i say

Whatever the process, I borrowed money, and I couldn’t even pay the interest on time.

“please. Without this store, where do they fill their stomachs and where do they rest?”

“Why do you care about assholes who can’t even cover themselves properly? And now, you can’t be in front of you either. to take care of others like an idiot.”

“…”

No, they should have rebutted that this was not their will, but for some reason nothing came out.

The same goes for saying that he is a sick person.

I wanted to object, but I had no words.

“This is also insignificant compared to the debt and interest you owe, you know? I can’t thank you, but where can I be cocky…”

It was not his will that he became in debt in the first place.

They came to me saying that they would help me first and that they would not charge much interest.

‘…Is it because of the refusal at that time…’

Rejecting the offer to hand over the store due to redevelopment the other day, probably came after that refusal.

“So…if you hand over the store, you’re going to get rid of everything, right?”

“okay. You don’t have a choice in the first place.”

I had already grasped all of their intentions, but there was no turning back.

I didn’t do anything illegal, and I got a low interest rate.

“1 week. I’ll give you just one week, so I’ll wrap it all up by then.”

After saying these words, the men left the seat, and the man sat down as if he had lost everything.

He wasn’t crying, he wasn’t angry, but that dazed expression on his face spoke of how heartbroken he was.

“Only for the money…”

How does it feel to see the person you love the most?

Seonghyun knew that feeling better than anyone else, so Seonghyun patted Richie’s shoulder without saying anything and muttered.

“Chief Manager.”

“yes. All right.”

Now, without going into details, Manager Cha knew what he had to do.

There was no need to pay them back, dispose of them all, or take any other proactive steps.

It’s all about finding out where they are, how many there are, and how long they exist.

“I will find out within today.”

“yes. thank you.”

The handling of them will depend on the information that Manager Cha gets.

Seong-hyeon had to solve the first thing he had to deal with.

“Let’s go at once. Treatment comes first.”

“…yes.”

While Seong-hyeon gave instructions to Cha, Richie seemed to have gathered his emotions.

The uncle was still sitting on the floor, not noticing that Richie and Sunghyun were approaching.

“…mister.”

“Lee, Rich? Up to Kim Seong-hyun Hunter?”

I don’t know if he thinks he hasn’t seen what just happened, or if he wants to believe so, but he got up and greeted the two of them as if nothing had happened.

“haha! What’s happening all of a sudden? You reminded me of my dishes?!”

What more needs to be said?

Sometimes silence is better than words.

And now was then.

The two nodded at the same time, and then went into the store.
