Guide Me If You Dare novel Chapter 8

Chapter 8: GUIDE ON TOP

YUNO had so many questions, but he didn't have the chance to ask Moon Noa.

How could he do that when the CEO gave him a ride in his superbike?

Superbikes were already built for racing, and Moon Noa was a reckless driver. If his boss wasn't a chaebol and an S-Class Guide, he would have been arrested already for several traffic violations.

At least, Sajangnim hasn't hit a person or damaged a property yet. That's where I draw the line. I wouldn't work for a boss who has caused a road accident due to reckless driving.

Anyway, the point was Yuno didn't get a chance to talk to Moon Noa.

We left the Bureau as soon as Guide Bambi gave us "permission" to leave.

And when they arrived at the Esper Training Center, Moon Noa practically treated him like a P*kemon.

["Go, Yuyu! Use attack on Esper Ki Gayoon!"]

["Sajangnim, I'm not getting paid enough to go along with your childish—"]

["I'll double your salary this month."]

[" attack it is, whatever that means."]

["Esper Ki Gayoon is in the rooftop of the Center's main building, so go there."]

The freaking elevator in the building wasn't working, so Yuno ran up the stairs just to reach the rooftop.

And when he got there, he was greeted by Ki Gayoon who looked "sober" to him.

This old man hasn't gone on a Rampage yet.

"You're faking your Rampage, aren't you?"

"You can tell?"

"Well, I'm still a Guide."

"I was faking it earlier, but I'm about to snap for real this time. Before I lose my mind, let's make a deal first," Gayoon said, putting his hands in his pockets while approaching him. "Be my Guide, you little shit."

Yeah, "little shit" is probably the only insult he knows.

Yuno gulped hard, his shoulders trembling from anger— and yet he raised his head and looked at Ki Gayoon straight in the eye. "Or else what?"

"Name your price," Ki Gayoon said arrogantly, raising his chin like the obnoxious bastard that he was. "Sell yourself to me, Noh Yuno."

Haaah.

As expected, most high-ranking Espers really had two "illness."

First, they think all Guides want them. Second, they think Guides need Espers and not the other way around.

"I don't know why you're working for Moon Noa, but if that's the case, then it only means you're a Freelance Guide. I've only heard about Freelance Espers before, but if Moon Noa is behind you, then it's possible that he used underhanded tricks to get you out of the Bureau."

What a quick-witted bastard.

It was true that Freelance Guides were unheard of since all Guides were "government property."

To be honest, Yuno didn't know how Moon Noa saved him from the Bureau.

But Esper Ki Gayoon was right— my crafty boss probably used his usual evil schemes.

"I'll double the salary you get from working for Moon Noa," Ki Gayoon continued with his bullshit. "Since you'll need to stay by my side for most of the time, you'll have a room in my house. You'll also be required to accompany me in the office..."

Blah-blah-blah...

Okay, Yuno had already stopped listening to the arrogant Esper.

This grumpy man talks like I've already agreed to be his Guide.

"Are you listening, you little shit?"

Esper Ki Gayoon won't let me die since I'm the only Guide he can tolerate— that much is obvious.
