Revenge with the Power of the Final Boss

By the next day, neither Baek Hyung-won nor Kim Yoo-jung had developed any genuine remorse for their actions.

However, they did come to accept the grim reality: if they continued down this path, they would only face utter ruin. Trying to cling to what they had would lead to nothing but further destruction.

"Hah... I'm sorry, Seo-jin. It seems I won't be able to pass the Baekho Guild down to you," Baek Hyung-won muttered with a heavy sigh.

In the end, Baek Hyung-won and Kim Yoo-jung chose to donate a significant portion of their wealth and relinquish the Baekho Guild entirely. They accepted that this was the only way for the three of them to survive together.

Still, their expressions betrayed their lingering resentment, as though they were victims of some great injustice. This left Baek Seo-jin with a bitter taste in his mouth from the moment he woke up.

"In the end, they never truly understood."

The weight of it all bore down on him, but Seo-jin suppressed his feelings as he made his way to Kangin Academy. As he stepped onto the campus grounds, he immediately felt the stares and whispers directed at him.

"They say it was actually Lee Ha-yeon who took down Ham Kang-min, not him."

"How shameless can you get, stealing someone else's credit?"

"He might be an SSS-Class Hunter and the top student, but he’s really lacking as a person."

"And he went up against the Dean? Anyone who sides with him is bound to be in trouble."
