Chapter 100
Edited By: Sebas Tian
Herhim is probably…… .
‘The owner of this black market . ’
Or has a position that’s equivalent .
It was obvious that the rumors within the black market couldn’t be easily ignored .
‘Did she predict this?’
He couldn’t help but think that because she introduced Hyun-Soo to Herhim for his future .
Herhim looked back and forth between Hyun-Soo and Kim Yoo-Na and smiled .
He nodded his head and mumbled, “It’s nice to be young . ”
“Okay, so what’s going on? I’m sure you’re not here to tell me some good news . ”
“…I’m not sure what kind of misunderstanding you have, but please stop . The reason I’m here is because I wanted to sell information . ”
“Sell information? What kind?”
“I’m sure you already know . ”
When Kim Yoo-Na replied, Herhim’s expression changed .
“You’re right, I do . And also the reason why you’re wanting to sell that information to us . ”
“Then I’m sure this conversation will end soon . I’ll sell the information and you can pay me by releasing the information to others . ”
“That’s doesn’t seem very beneficial to us . What would we gain from it?”
Herhim asked after interlocking his fingers .
The nice, middle-aged man turned into a strict dealer .
It was totally different from when he asked Kim Yoo-Na about her well-being .
A seller and a dealer were the only ones in the room .
“You’ll be the exclusive source . ”
“Oh . Does that mean you’ll be releasing all future information regarding the colorful portals through us?”
“That’s right . ”
“Hm, that’s not a bad deal . ”
“We both win . It’s good for us and you benefit from this, Mr . Herhim . ”
When Kim Yoo-Na spoke with a smile, Herhim nodded his head .
“You’re definitely a clever one . You thought about including the black market into all of this . That’s why your grandfather won’t let you go . ”
“…I’ll pretend I didn’t hear that . ”
“Oh, that was my mistake . I believe we have a deal . ”
Kim Yoo-Na took out the documents that was in her bag .
Herhim took the thick contract and looked over the information .
After skimming through it, Herhim displayed a satisfied smile and extended his hand out towards her .
They shook each other’s hands .
The agreement was made based on trust .

“Hm? Is there something else?”
Kim Yoo-Na didn’t leave despite of the fact that their meeting was over, so Herhim stopped organizing the documents and asked .
“We’re looking for information and if you have something related to it, we would like to purchase it . ”
“Oh, I did hear that you found something interesting . Guess the rumors were true . ”
When Kim Yoo-Na mentioned it, Herhim immediately knew what it was regarding and that surprised Hyun-Soo .
It was clear that it was an interesting item .
“Hm? Please don’t ask how I know . That’s our job . ”
Prior to her asking, he said he wasn’t sure if the rumors were true and Herhim reassured that there wasn’t a spy within the clan .
He even explained that he gathered the information elsewhere and put them together .
“I’m usually not this nice, but since it’s Yoo-Na . Hm . ”
Herhim mumbled as if he was making an excuse .
“Unfortunately, I don’t have the information you want, Yoo-Na . It’s our first time encountering that type of information . Since the colorful portals appeared, isn’t it natural for new things to appear? There’s always a first for everything and you guys experienced it . ”
Kim Yoo-Na looked disappointed .
Hyun-Soo was the owner of the egg, but Kim Yoo-Na was the one that was really disappointed .
“If you’re curious, I’ll find out myself and let you two know . ”
“……How?”
“It’s simple . You just have to sell it to me . I’ll pay you any amount you want . ”
It sounded like a joke, but his face looked serious .
‘He’s serious . ’
Well, this is the black market .
When thinking about the items that they had, there’s no way they wouldn’t be interested in items that was obtained from the colorful portals .
“I’m afraid I can’t do that, Mr . Herhim . ”
Karazhan’s egg was Hyun-Soo’s .
That’s why, instead of letting Kim Yoo-Na decline, it was better for him to say it .
Hyun-Soo displayed a warm smile while looking straight at Herhim .
“Many people withdrew their decision after I offered them what they wanted . What is it that you want? Money? Power? Tell me what you want . If you give me the egg, I’ll offer you an equivalent amount . ”
Hyun-Soo felt like he was being tempted by the devil .
But Hyun-Soo countered with a question .
“Why do you want it that badly? You don’t know anything for sure and are only making assumptions . ”
He was implying that it could not be worth anything .
After hearing his question, Herhim smiled childishly .
“A collector that wants to collect items that others can’t have . That’s me . It can’t be helped even if you think it’s foolish . That’s what I want . ”
Hyun-Soo smiled at Herhim when he mentioned that the collector is the one that decides the worth of an item .
“Then, Mr . Herhim . Rather than giving you a mysterious item, I’ll give you something better and not as mysterious . You won’t regret it . ”
“Oh? What is that?”
Hyun-Soo took out a small, glass bottle from his bag .
The bottle contained a unique potion that emitted a bright, silver light that was shining elegantly .

It was the same recovery potion he gave to Kim Yoo-Na before .
The same potion that help Kim Hye-Na with her surgery .
‘It’s also my masterpiece . ’
The potion increases one’s stamina and the recovery of both the stamina and physical abnormalities . It’s a potion that has amazing effects .
“What…is this?”
“You can check it yourself . ”
Herhim carefully took the potion that Hyun-Soo handed him .
He checked while shaking the bottle and after removing the cap, he carefully sniffed the potion .
As soon as he opened the bottle, an elegant flower scent filled the room .
“I’m assuming you drink this?”
“That’s right . ”
“And it’s not poison?”
“Mr . Herhim . I’ll show you that it isn’t . ”
Because of his position, when Mr . Herhim started getting suspicious, Kim Yoo-Na stepped up to prove that Hyun-Soo was telling the truth .
After contemplating for a bit, Herhim drank the silver potion .
And then .
“……!”
His eyes widened .
Herhim suddenly stood up and started moving his body .
It looked like he was warming up, but his movements was about the same as when he was a hunter and even in Hyun-Soo’s eyes, Herhim was moving fast .
“Whew! That’s surprising . To think an item like this actually existed!”
He moved so fast, that smoke started rising up from his shoulders and instead of going back to this seat, he approached Hyun-Soo .
“Where did you find this? No . I almost made a mistake . Are there more of this? I’m also wondering if this can be continuously supplied . ”
“I can’t guarantee that it can be continuously supplied . ”
“Oh, then I’ll assume that you have more and you can provide them . But since you’re saying it’s impossible, I guess there’s limited inventory . That’s actually better . If the item is rare…haha . Just thinking about it is giving me ideas . Good, good . ”
Herhim became extremely excited as he grabbed Hyun-Soo’s hand .
And then he aggressively shook his hand .
“Don’t forget about giving it to me . I won’t return it . How do you want to set up the contract? And you’re exclusively contracting with us, right?”
Hyun-Soo nodded with a big smile .
It changed from bargaining over the egg to creating a contract regarding supplying potions .
Honestly, this was what Hyun-Soo wanted .
As soon as he found out that Herhim was the owner of this black market, he was thinking about it .
What if the potions were sold here?
He had thought about how well the potions would sell even before coming here .
Even Kim Yoo-Na didn’t mention it .
The latest_epi_sodes are on_the novel35.COM website.
If it was released to the world, it could cause chaos .
But there were several issues that got in the way .
Release the potion .
But he doesn’t want the world to know who made it .
There was no need for him to gain all that attention .
That’s what Hyun-Soo’s instincts told him .
If he were to reveal the potion, this would be the best place .
Strict identity protection .
And a huge distribution network .
This black market didn’t lack anything .
“There’s a reason why Yoo-Na introduced you to me . ”
“I also agree . ”
No one knew how far ahead she planned it .
She just looked at them both with a small smile on her face .

“I’m surprised not many people know about this place . ”
“It’s definitely not a popular place . But from what I know, a good handful of hunters know about this place . The black market is limited to a few people . ”
That was true .
If that wasn’t the case, then there’s no way this floor would be overflowing with items .
Hyun-Soo recalled the extremely rare items that he saw .
They had expensive monster corpses that were used on weapons, extremely expensive scrolls and interesting items .
If the hunters knew about the black market, they would definitely rush over here and try to purchase at least one of the items .
And as they upload it on the internet, more rumors will float around .
“It’s not a place where anyone can come in . ”
They won’t let you in just because you have a lot of money and power .
Aside from a small group of hunters, they don’t make deals with individuals and will only work with a group or organization or those with certain qualifications .
“And they have an implicit rule of not saying anything about this place . Since it’s the place the government can’t reach, they acknowledge and respect the power that the black market has . ”
The black market was basically the hunters’ space .
Since it’s by the hunters, for the hunters and hunters only, this place isn’t affected by any outside force .
That’s why everyone respected this place and didn’t say a word about it .
‘Is that why not many people know about the black market?’
In Korea, not many people know about the black market and its branches all over the world .
Of course it’s because they don’t make deals with individuals .
But Hyun-Soo thought of a different reason .
If it’s the black market’s intention to keep quiet, then there’s a high chance that the large groups and organizations only kept quiet so that they could benefit from it .
‘Well, we left anyways . ’
