Guide Me If You Dare novel Chapter 19

Chapter 19: HISTORY 101

THIS PUNK is laughing?

Ki Gayoon couldn't believe that Noh Yuno was laughing as if he just didn't say the most ridiculous thing Gayoon had heard in a long while.

But it was nice to see and hear Noh Yuno laugh without being sarcastic.

Wait.

Why is this obnoxious punk starting to look adorable— no! What the fuck, Ki Gayoon? You should really donate your eyes to someone who needs them like that little shit said if you suddenly find him pleasant.

"Ahjuhyung, you're paying for the table you broke."

"It's made of wood, so it's something I can fix," Gayoon said, placing his hands on the table. "Easily."

Golden light soon shot out of his palms, then the light spread and "spilled" on the table— quickly filling the cracks. After that, the golden light pulled the broken parts together to work its magic.

It was a boring show, though.

After all, the table was fixed in an instant.

"Wow," Noh Yuno said while clapping his hands. "Ahjuhyung, your skill is really amazing."

Gayoon raised an eyebrow while observing the punk.

Is he being sarcastic again?

Noh Yuno looked up at Gayoon with sparkling eyes. "Ahjuhyung, I think I understand now why you prefer to use your ability to run a business than be fully dedicated to your duty as an Esper."

Oh, he's being genuine.

Even so, Gayoon wanted to tease Noh Yuno again.

It just felt weird that they were talking normally— by their standards— without exchanging insults or sarcastic remarks.

"You just called me a capitalist pig a few days ago," Gayoon reminded Noh Yuno while snapping his fingers. And then all the floating objects carefully landed on the table. "That's what most people call me after I stopped reconstructing buildings and other properties destroyed by a Dungeon Break for free."

And that was the reason why the government wanted to steal his company— the Beom-seok Constructions— from him.

"Ahjuhyung is a capitalist pig, and so I am. What can we do? We live in a capitalist society," Noh Yuno said, shrugging. "But I heard Sajangnim doesn't charge Civilians when you fix their private homes or small businesses that got destroyed during a Dungeon Break."

"Where did you hear that from?"

"Ahjuhyung knows my boss is a blabbermouth, right? He also said that even though you have a slush fund, at least you give back by donating a huge month of money to several charities and foundations—"

"If I can't kill Moon Noa, then I'll at least sew that big mouth of his shut."

"Sajangnim wasn't always like that, though. He used to be a cold-hearted bastard when I first met him. But he suddenly changed and became crazy after Esper Ryu Sungbin-ssi abandoned him for Guide Bambi-ssi who appeared out of nowhere three or four years ago? I can't exactly remember when."

Right.

However...

Anyone can search about the First Generation's history on the internet anyway.
