Civil Servant Hunter’S S-Class Resignation Log Chapter 223
Episode 223
“You never told your brother where this is, right?”
Even though he was busy checking on his younger brother’s condition, he seemed to be aware that he should not just ignore Ali’s words.
Even though tears were streaming down his face, he nodded.
“I never said it. “I didn’t even wonder about it in the first place because I knew that the location of Athena’s headquarters was confidential.”
“Then how on earth did you know this place? Even quite a few gods don’t know the location of this place… Is it possible that Yoon Seo-ra’s contract body is related to the Olympian gods?”
Athens, the sacred city where the headquarters of the mercenary group Athena is located, is literally a place under the protection of Athena, the god of war.
Because of this, it is a place that even the gods do not know properly, but the gods of Olympus might know.
“I don’t know either. I don’t know anything about the Sacrament that signed a contract with Seora. “Except for the fact that I care about Seo-ra very much.”
“Was there a god in Olympus who cared so much about his contractors? There, the god of wisdom. “I know you’re listening, so please talk to me.”
?It is said that the Holy Body ‘God of War and Wisdom’ has nothing to do with Olympus.?
“Then how on earth did he know about this place and appear here?”
?The person who signed the contract with Seo-ra Yoon is said to know about this place.?
“No, so who is the contract holder?”
There was no answer. Why make secrets like this in a contractual relationship? Ali grumbled that she was disappointed, but Athena never opened her mouth.
“I will have no choice but to hear more details when Yoon Seo-ra wakes up. Bring me when you wake up. Please contact Song Hanna as well. Since there hasn’t been any word yet, it seems like Yoon Seo-ra didn’t stop by in Korea and just showed up here.”
“all right. “Thank you, Captain, for accepting Seo-ra instead of kicking her out.”
Yoon Jae-heon stood up and bowed deeply towards Ali.
Until now, no one who was not a member of Athena had ever crossed this secret sacred place. Especially because it is the sacred place of the god Athena, not anywhere else.
That’s why Jaeheon was thankful to Ali for taking Seo Ra to his room instead of kicking her out or killing her.
“God allowed it, so it’s done. But I really need to know how you got here, so bring me back when you wake up.”
“yes.”
All the members went out together with Ali.
Yoon Jae-heon, who carefully covered Seo-ra with a blanket, first called Song Hanna to inform her of Seo-ra’s safe return. Song Hanna asked several times what he meant when he heard that his nephew had suddenly appeared at Athena headquarters, but he had no other explanation.
In the end, Song Hanna hung up the phone, asking Seo-ra to call her again when she wakes up. Still, I was glad that I felt relieved rather than surprised.
Jaeheon put down his phone and sat down in his chair with a sigh. The joy that Seora had returned safely, the worry about whether she was really okay, and the wonder of how she knew about this place were mixed inside.
However, the emotion that rose before that was none other than anxiety.
“Seora, more people are angry with you than you think.”
Victor, who barely participated in the invasion of the labyrinth, also fought to protect the country, and Lu Enyu was eaten by a god and died.
Rector Roderick and Garcia were wounded and many others were killed.
Meanwhile, Yoon Seo-ra was attacked by an unknown enemy and lost consciousness, so she could not participate in the war. It appeared late, but as soon as it was revealed, it hid again.
This made many people angry and criticized her.
Because Jeong Ho-young died, Koreans’ anger was greater than anyone else’s.
“That’s why I’m worried. “I’m afraid you’ll be really hurt.”
Fortunately, L-class awakened people around the world believed in Seo-ra’s innocence, but those who did not know about her demanded proof.
From the time when I was in F-class to becoming S-class and rising to L-class. Although he never ran away and fought against the enemy, people couldn’t believe that he was attacked by the enemy even once and poured out criticism.
Jaeheon Yoon was distressed. This child never wanted to be a hero, but why do people arbitrarily place expectations and hope, only to be disappointed in the end?
Why don’t you trust her?
“Actually, I was hoping you would just leave for good and never come back. “I missed you and wondered if you were healthy and safe, but other than that, I wanted you to stay for the rest of your life next to a god who only cares about you.”
Then Seora won’t be in pain anymore. I would have lived happily buried in the blind love given by God.
Even though he had to swallow his longing for his younger brother for the rest of his life, he could endure that level of pain as long as Seo-ra lived peacefully.
“…Of course, there’s no way you would make that choice. “Because there are a lot of people you love here.”
Jaeheon Yoon laughed bitterly. Seeing her sleeping with a comfortable face, it seemed like the god had put Seo-ra’s mind at ease.
“They said they wouldn’t live like mom and dad. “I guess we are family.”
Jaeheon turned off the light so Seora could sleep more comfortably. And he also laid down on the sofa to rest.
The sound of my younger brother’s even breathing coming from close by helped ease my heart that had been pounding anxiously for two weeks.
Jaeheon fell into a peaceful sleep for the first time in a very long time.

“How on earth did he get there?”
Even after the call from Jaeheon hung up, Song Hanna held on to her phone for a long time.
what? Showing up at Athena’s headquarters unconscious? A place where even WDO doesn’t know where it is? how?
“What do you think, Seora Yoon?”
Do Jun-young, who came to the association president’s office to report on the situation and overheard the call, urgently asked.
“He’s unconscious, but he’s not hurt anywhere. “The complexion is also very good.”
“You’re unconscious? “I wonder if there was any problem on the way to Athena headquarters…”
Do Jun-young’s body shook. Maybe it’s because he saw Seo-ra since she was a baby, but he was just as overprotective as Yoon Jae-heon.
“I see you’re sleeping soundly with a very comfortable face. While other people can’t sleep because of worries, I can’t believe I’m sleeping well on my own. I’m glad. “He also slept well.”
“…okay.”
Do Jun-young was still restless with only the answer. His complexion was also very haggard as he nervously shook his shoulders.
“It looks like Seo-ra is okay, so Director Do can take a breath. “I’ll leave work early today and get some rest.”
“…No, thanks. “There is a lot of work to be done until Yoon Seo-ra returns.”
“I’ll be sure to tell Seo-ra that Director Do worked very hard.”
“You don’t have to. “It’s not something I want you to know.”
That was what Song Hanna knew best. Because she never showed it in front of Seo-ra, who had no idea that Do Jun-young was her brother’s friend who she had known since childhood.
I was so proud and grateful that Seo-ra stood firm and watched her back every time she was ignored for being in the F grade.
So she thought for a long time before saying this.
“I’m thinking about having you resign.”
Do Jun-young’s eyes widened at the sudden words.
“I feel like being a public servant is Seo-ra’s limitation. The reason Gil-sang Lee holds on to Seo-ra like that is because he has the shackles of being a public servant. “Once the shackles disappear, Seora will be able to live more freely.”
“If Seo-ra Yoon agrees, that would be fine.”
Song Hanna was surprised by the answer, which was more obedient than expected.
“Wouldn’t it be a pity?”
“I have nothing to regret.”
“The reason I stubbornly rose to the position of manager at that age was to help Seo-ra, who joined the association.”
“I did it because I wanted to do it. “That is no reason to block Yoon Seo-ra’s path.”
Rather, Do Jun-young looked like he didn’t understand Song Hanna’s words. Song Hanna was speechless.
“It is natural for Seo-ra Yoon to pursue her own greed, just as I pursued my own. Well, if I don’t see you as often as I do now, I’ll probably feel a little lonely.”
“oh my god. “She should know that Director Do thinks of Seo-ra this way.”
“I don’t want that either.”
Do Jun-young laughed softly. A blunt man who usually didn’t smile, he laughed a lot whenever he was related to Seo-ra.
“I’m okay with anything as long as I can keep Yoon Seo-ra from crying anymore. “I never want to see myself like I was when I was 11 again.”
The winter of the new year was the loneliest and coldest in Seora’s life.
Song Hanna also didn’t want Seo-ra to spend that kind of winter twice.
“…so do i.”
His face looked so satisfied that she couldn’t help but ask. The question of whether he has Seo-ra in mind.
I think Do Jun-young would just laugh instead of answering. Just like the past three years when he didn’t say a word even in front of Seo-ra who didn’t recognize him.
He simply chose to remain silent and watch his back, and his mind would never change in his life. Hanna Song expressed her gratitude by patting her trustworthy shoulder.
No words were exchanged, but Do Jun-young answered with a smile that showed that he understood her feelings.

Seong Ja-rim had been chased for several days already.
I jumped over a building under renovation and quickly hid in a dark alley, but this damn thing must have used a tracking spell so I was quickly caught again.
Even though Jarim screamed, this bad guy didn’t let go of his hold on the back.
“Where is Yoon Seo-ra?”
The person who screamed was none other than Kang Se-jun.
“Does it make sense that you haven’t shown up for almost 15 days already? “I know the Holy Body is worried about Yoon Seo-ra, but this is a bit harsh!”
So, that was the cause. Seong Ja-rim knows about Seora’s contracted body that he does not know.
“What are you saying to me? But that doesn’t mean I can go to the place where that god is! “I know who they are, but I don’t know where they are!”
“So tell me who it is! “Because it could be the God I know!”
“You don’t know! “You don’t know God!”
“How many gods did I see during my retreat!”
“No, you never know! “Seora said he was that god’s only contract!”
Seong Ja-rim, who was stronger than Kang Se-jun, eventually succeeded in escaping from his grasp. However, Kang Se-jun put up a shield around himself as if he knew that would happen. Seong Ja-rim, whose escape route was blocked, jumped up and down.
“Oh, it’s not a lie!”
“Even if I am the only one in this life, who knows if I may have contracted with someone else before returning.”
“Absolutely not! I don’t know anything about what happened before the return, but he said there are a few gods he remembers. “The god of Seora is one of them.”
Kang Se-jun looked suspicious, but Seong Ja-rim did not blink an eye. Finally, he relaxed his eyes.
Unlike Yoon Seo-ra, who has a perfect poker face that can make a Hollywood actor cry, Kang Se-jun also knew that confident Seong Ja-rim can’t lie anytime, anywhere.
“…Then where on earth should I find Yoon Seo-ra?”
