Accidentally Becoming a Great Prophet?!

Chapter 22 - Invited by the Wolf



An appointment was made suddenly and out of the blue.
Aish, but since it’s an invitation from Hatieri, an S-rank superhuman and a big shot in the underworld, I can’t refuse…
“Han-ul, whose call was that?”
“Ah, I don’t know if you know, but it was a customer called Hatieri. He says he wants to see me tomorrow, haha…”
“…Hatieri? You don’t mean the monster wolf who owns Vargfang, do you?”
“Huh? You know him? They did say he was the owner of Vargfang.”
“Aha… So that’s why the bracelet… I was wondering how you had that bracelet given only to Vargfang executives, but you had a connection with Hatieri?”
“Yes, well… I do have a connection, haha…”
There is a connection… It’s just that I’m uncomfortable with it…
Sigh, it would be awkward not to go when he wants to meet… But I guess I should go?
I may feel a bit uncomfortable, but… He does throw quite a bit of compensation my way.
Looking at how he even attached Ricone as my subordinate, it seems he has goodwill towards me…
Anyway, not long after the call ended, I received a text from Hatieri.
He sent the meeting place…
The place is…
“A club…??”
I, Dam Han-ul.
I’m about to go to a club like this, a place I’ve never been near in my entire life.

After an extremely anxious night passed and time flowed, the appointment time soon approached.
“Hmm, I should get going soon… Would you like to come along?”
“Of course! I’ll definitely accompany you!”
First, Akame, the high-class personnel who volunteered to be my subordinate, joined…
“Ah! I also received a call to come, may I go with you, Executive?”
“Well, I guess we should go together then…”
And Yuri Ricone, who seems to have received orders from Hatieri, also joined.
And when we went outside… We saw an expensive, shiny sedan parked in the parking lot.
“…Is this a Bentley…?”
With the advent of the age of superhumans, the world faced a huge transformation, and the automobile industry was one of them.
Numerous special resources won by superhumans, and the singularity and safety through the abilities of many superhumans.
In an instant, old brands quickly collapsed and new brands rose incredibly fast. It was almost miraculous.
As such, with significantly lacking safety, insufficient output, and even high prices, naturally fewer people sought them out.
But there are people who like such paper-thin cars.
So these cars are still traded at high prices among enthusiasts.
And to think that I would come to own such a thing…?
“It seemed to suit Han-ul quite well. It’s not without problems… but I think it would be good to use occasionally to show off a bit.”
“Uh… Thank you. I’ll use it well?”
I know the brand, but I’m not sure about the car’s name. Should I look it up later…?
This kind of car isn’t my dream car, but… Considering that I didn’t even have a decent car of my own before, I should be grateful for this…
“How… Will you drive yourself?”
“Well, since it’s my car, I’d like to try driving it myself at least for the first time.”
So, using the car key I received yesterday, I got into my first car and headed to the club Hatieri told me about, with Ricone and Akame on board.
It wasn’t too far away, so we didn’t arrive late…
“…The line is long?”
“It sure is?”
The line for the club was really long. It must be a popular club.
Moreover, coming in just ordinary clothes made me feel self-conscious.
Kugh… To be standing awkwardly in a new world I’ve never been to before… It was a bit uncomfortable for me, an ordinary citizen who prefers rolling around in my room.
Well, it’s not unbearable… But we didn’t have to wait too long.
When I texted Hatieri that it might take a while because we were in line, a few rough-looking guards popped out and very politely guided us.
And the place we were guided to was a completely quiet VIP room on the 3rd floor of the club, with not a single person around for some reason.
When we entered the largest room there, Hatieri was waiting for me.
“Hey! Our cold-hearted friend! You finally came!”
“Haha… It’s been a while, Hatieri…”
“Kyahaha! I’m just kidding! But it sure is hard to see your face! Kyakya!”

Hatieri poured whiskey into a rather expensive-looking crystal glass and slid it over to me, then showed off by downing a whole bottle of whiskey in one shot.
…My goodness, usually people mix it with something, but he’s as extraordinary as he looks…
Anyway, although I received the glass, downing it in one shot was impossible for me, so I took a small sip and put the glass down. Then Hatieri put his arm around my shoulder and clung to me.
Flinch!
“By the way, you seem to have been doing quite well? I heard you’ve already been up to interesting things here and there! Ricone, whom I sent you, was quite good, right?”
“…Uh, she seems capable. It’s a bit burdensome though…”
…But can that be expressed as doing well? If we consider the mental suffering, it’s quite ambiguous…
Of course, if we only consider the money earned, I’ve been doing very well.
What with being a Vargfang executive, subordinate, bodyguard, external director of Cheongson Guild with a 3% stake, 10% of Black Dog Association’s profits, and even the money from Toyoda Yamatake that Akame brought…
If we only consider money, I’ve earned an enormous amount to the point where I wonder if this is really reality. To the point where there’s a disadvantage of it not feeling real because it’s too much.
“Kyahaha! Lighten up your expression! How can someone with your ability be so stiff?! You’ve even got an S-rank subordinate now!!”
Hatieri laughed as if amused and patted my back heavily.
…No, it really hurts. I’m an ordinary person! You’re an S-rank superhuman, control your strength a bit…!! My back is going to split…!!
“Kehe, by the way, it’s really interesting. Both the Jade Cheong So-ha I saw when coming to Korea this time, and this Flower Sword friend here… They’ve become incomparably stronger than before, haven’t they?”
“Uh… Is that so?”
Things like Cheong So-ha surpassing her limits, or Akame becoming stronger. To be honest, from my perspective, I don’t really feel much difference.
I don’t even know how strong they were originally. I just think, ‘Oh, they got stronger.’ I’m an ordinary person who hasn’t awakened.
“Hmm… If I compare a bit with myself, before I could have torn them apart without much effort, but if we fought now, I’d have to be prepared to get hurt? And as time passes, they’ll become even stronger than that!”
“…Aren’t you all S-rank superhumans? Like when Akame fought with that superhuman called Toyoda Yamatake, it seems there are differences even within the same rank?”
Akame shows no particular reaction to those words.
“Hahaha! Of course! Even if they’re grouped in the same rank, they’re not all equally strong! Especially for S-rank, that’s even more true! Other ranks are further divided into plus and minus, but S-rank isn’t, so the gap can be even greater even within the same rank!”
When my curious gaze turned to Akame, she smiled and nodded, then came and sat next to me, downed the whiskey I had sipped in one shot, and opened her mouth.
“Usually, S-rank superhumans are specially strong in many ways. As such, they also have strong pride… Even if they subconsciously know that they’re weaker than someone else, they dislike it being publicly stated. That’s why S-rank is called a rank, and isn’t divided into plus or minus.”
“They can’t even resist! Realistically, we S-ranks are the closest and most powerful force! Just being S-rank alone brings overflowing privileges! You can see it just by looking at how much S-rank superhumans earn sometimes, right?”
“Uh… That’s true.”
Well, just yesterday Akame said that a monthly salary of 30 million won was rather cheap… They all have something extraordinary about them.
“Anyway, so there are big differences even among S-ranks!”
“I see?”
This is something I’m learning for the first time. It’s quite an interesting story.
“Among them, ‘Monster Wolf’ Scolia Fenrir Hatieri is special. Except for her, Vargfang can’t be said to be large in scale, and has only one S-rank, but the reason Vargfang has such a fearsome reputation now is because of the monster that is Hatieri.”
The strength of Hatieri, called Varg or Monster Wolf, is extraordinary even among S-ranks.
At the very least, she might not be one of the extremely few geniuses, but she’s a superhuman who can be called a ‘prodigy’ who enjoys life, and she’s a monster who has surpassed her limits four times by her power alone.
Just looking at recent examples, in the case of an organization that planted a traitor in her organization to upset her and waged war with Vargfang as a result, she demonstrated that her strength was still intact by tearing apart and killing three S-rank superhumans of that organization without a single major wound.
“Hooh? Our swordsman friend, even if you gild my face, I don’t have anything particular to give you.”
“It doesn’t matter if it’s not for me, but you have something to give Han-ul, right? That’s enough for me. It’s also just a plain fact.”
“Well well, you two seem quite close even though you haven’t known each other for long? Kuku… Our fortune teller teacher has chosen a good subordinate, hasn’t he?”
“Of course? Despite how it looks, we live in the same house, you know.”
“What? Kyakya! They say heroes are lustful, is our teacher showing his true colors?”
What?! No, what nonsense is this…!!
“Oh geez, don’t say such things. I’m going to choke…”
“What’s wrong with that? If you have ability, you can do that. That’s the kind of world it is, right? Haven’t you heard stories about other superhumans?”
“…I have heard of people who live with harems, or someone who even built a palace and created a reverse harem or something.”
Probably all of those people were S-rank. There are quite a few such stories, and most of those people are S-rank…
“Kyahaha! There are such guys too! I’ve even personally smashed one of those guys who lived like that! Well, it’s not my taste though?”
“Haha, I see.”
I laughed soullessly and nibbled on some fruit nearby.
“Ah, right. Come to think of it, I had one more piece of business besides meeting and hanging out with our teacher?”
“Huh? Business??”
“I told you yesterday, didn’t I? That I had something to give you!”
Now that I think about it, that’s right! Damn it!!
“Hehe… It’s quite an interesting gift, so you can look forward to it.”
Ah, the moment I hear those words, I get the feeling that I’m doomed.
…Damn, what kind of burdensome thing is going to shake my mental state this time?
