Return of the Sword God-Rank Civil Servant novel Chapter 30

The Nexus Guild headquarters in Seoul was in chaos from the crack of dawn.

The cause? The unexpected visit of a VVIP guest.

Because of this, the Guild Master of Nexus, along with the Vice Guild Master, Director Kim Soo-ae, and other important guild executives, were all summoned urgently.

As they waited at the front entrance, the sound of a supercar engine grew louder.

*Vroom!*

From far away, a red Ferrari came into view, stopping right in front of the guild’s main entrance.

It was the *Chariot* of Jo Jin-hwi, one of his many prized supercars.

"...Is this really the only one available?"

"Haha, yes. Apologies."

"It can't be helped... but I'll be grateful for the ride."

And so, the choice was made.

After the car stopped and the door opened, Suho stepped out, and the Nexus executives quickly greeted him.

"Ah, you've arrived. Hunter Ahn Suho."

"Thank you for coming all the way here this early in the morning, it's an honor."

The identity of the VVIP guest was none other than Suho.

Just as he had told Jo Jin-hwi, today, Suho had come to join the Nexus Guild.

Responding to their enthusiastic greetings, Suho replied warmly.

"Yes, nice to meet you. CEO Bae Dong-hyuk. By the way, where should I park?"

"Someone help park the car for Hunter. You can leave it with valet service, and we’ll go right ahead to the meeting."

"Alright, I'll leave it to you then."

After handing over the keys, they started moving together.

The meeting, surprisingly, was held in the highest conference room next to the CEO’s office on the top floor of the Nexus building.

As Suho looked out the window at the expansive view of the city, he spoke.

"Your office view is quite impressive."

"Haha, of course. We didn’t just move into this building for nothing. But before that..."

A glance was exchanged between the people present.

They were confirming the information Kim Soo-ae had relayed.

That’s why Kim Soo-ae, as the representative, was the one to ask.

"Suho, the call you made earlier... is it really true?"

"That I’m joining Nexus?"

"Yes."

"Yes, it’s true."

"......!"

At that, everyone—from Guild Master Bae Dong-hyuk to Vice Guild Master Yoon Doo-won, Academy Director Kim Soo-ae, and Secretary Kim Yi-gang—all silently clenched their fists, holding back cheers.

No wonder.

Suho was currently the most talked-about rising star in the country... no, perhaps even the best rising star in the industry.

Perhaps that’s why Kim Soo-ae was the most relieved.

‘He’s grown absurdly fast in just a few days, I honestly wasn’t expecting this...!’

It was true.

Suho’s resume was nothing short of spectacular.

Even before becoming a Hunter, he had soloed the Shindorim Station Minor Gate.

He was the top scorer of the notoriously difficult Hunter Exam.

In addition, he had soloed the Tower of Trials, something no one had expected, and during his time in the Tower, articles had even been written about him aiming to become a government Hunter.

Then, out of nowhere, he had contacted her this morning.

Saying that, if the conditions were right, he would join the Nexus Guild.

‘Right. A government Hunter? With abilities like his, countries outside Korea would be eager to recruit him.’

That’s why.

When Suho contacted her, Kim Soo-ae initially thought that the article about him wanting to become a government Hunter was just another publicity stunt.

Some people did that to raise their market value.

Then Suho spoke.

"But as I mentioned over the phone, I plan to join only if the conditions are right."

At that, Guild Master Bae Dong-hyuk immediately responded.

"Please, just tell us. No one can match the conditions we can offer here at Nexus."

"I’m glad to hear that from you, CEO. Then I’ll speak without hesitation. But before that, I assume everyone here has read the PBS article about me, right?"

"The one where you mentioned you wanted to be a government Hunter?"

"Yes."

"Yes, I’ve seen it, but..."

Guild Master Bae Dong-hyuk hesitated, unsure of what Suho was getting at with these preambles.

From his years of experience in society, he deduced...

‘Is he going to say something like... he originally wanted to be a government Hunter, but now he needs more money, so he’s asking for more?’

He could predict that much.

However, the words that followed left Bae Dong-hyuk and everyone else shocked.

"Even though I’ve come here today to join Nexus, my ultimate goal hasn’t changed. I still intend to join the KHA and become a government Hunter."

"Excuse me?"

"What...?"

Is he insane?

Then why did he come here?
