Sister of the Ranking 1st (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 174

The world looked especially ashen due to the gloomy, thick fog. I glanced away from the buildings outside the window and looked at Min Yu Shin, who was driving.

“Shin A Ya, are you really okay going alone?”

Even though I’d already said I was fine, he asked again and once more urged me to let him accompany me. I let out a sigh and replied,

“You’re being overprotective, ajusshi.”

“…Ah, ajusshi?”

“Honestly, you’re the same age as my oppa, but by my standards, you’re definitely an ajusshi.”

“Aju…ssi…”

No matter how many times I insisted I’d go alone, he’d stubbornly cling on—but with just that one word, “ajusshi,” he was so shocked he kept repeating it like a broken machine. Could he even see the road properly or drive safely like this?

Originally, summit meetings among the four great guilds were held regularly. Though it might sound like collusion when the four largest guilds gathered to talk… with the siege-war system in place and actual battles sometimes erupting between guilds, coordinating their relationships was unavoidable.

Of course, my oppa was so uncooperative and stubborn that Cheon Rang had rarely participated properly in these summits anyway.

Even as I tried to clear my mind while gazing at the ashen scenery, chaotic thoughts swirled relentlessly—everything from what happened at Am Wol’s new guild master inauguration ceremony, to whether it was wise to let Baek Jang Mi and Lee Jin Ha face each other directly, to whether leaving Am Wol as it was truly the right choice.

The reason the four great guilds were called the “four great guilds” wasn’t only because they were the largest—it was also largely due to each guild master being an S-rank.

Before I awakened, there had been only five S-ranks in all of Korea. One of them kept their identity hidden, while the rest each ran a guild—how could anyone not be drawn to such prestige?

Ultimately, it was the reputation of the S-ranks that gave these guilds their status. But since Lee Ryeo Hyun’s death, no new S-rank had appeared in Am Wol. Instead, Cheon Rang now had two S-ranks because of my membership.
