Chairman Nam was On Jurim’s Father’s College Friend.
Chairman Nam had been the first love of On Jurim’s mother, a wealthy conglomerate heir. To win her heart, he threw himself into business with everything he had.
But love didn’t work out. His father ended up marrying late, and even had two children.
Still, as his father’s business flourished, their connections remained intact.
That was how Jurim and Chairman Nam’s paths eventually crossed.
“This was the last thing I wanted to hear, but I’ll thank you for the effort.”
She let out a dry chuckle.
“Still as rude as ever.”
“Now that I think about it, didn’t you once tell me that I had the kind of face to be an impudent brat my whole life, Chairman Nam?”.
“Yeah, I did. It was supposed to mean you were living up to your looks. And damn, you really are.”
Jurim shrugged.
Chairman Nam hid a bitter smile as he recalled the On family.
Jurim’s mother had died in an accident shortly after giving birth to her, and On Jurim’s father worked tirelessly to ensure his daughter never heard whispers about how she grew ➤ NоvеIight ➤ (Read more on our source) up without a mother’s touch.
That only made the three of them—father, daughter, and Chairman Nam—more precious to each other.
“Jurim, whether you wanted it or not, family is what’s left in the end. Don’t go throwing away the resources you have just because you feel like it. You have a lot more to take responsibility for now.”
Jurim remained silent.
“While you’re at it, you should properly talk to your father and—”
“Chairman. If that’s all you have to say, we’ll be heading out first. Guru needs some rest... and if we keep talking here, I feel like I might say something I’ll regret.”
She was politely telling him she didn’t want to argue.
Chairman Nam clicked his tongue.
“You used to call me ‘Auntie’ so sweetly back in school, and now it’s ‘Chairman’? So cold... Fine, whatever. Our little one, let’s meet again sometime, okay?”
“Yes! Guru will be helpful next time too!”
Guru gave a deep, proper bow, making Chairman Nam burst into hearty laughter as he ruffled her hair.
“Such a cute kid, really.”
Jurim swiftly pulled Guru into her arms, holding her close.
Chairman Nam clicked his tongue as he side-eyed her.
Among the On family, Jurim was the most aloof and emotionally detached. It seemed like that hadn’t changed at all—except for how fiercely she cherished this child. No wonder On Chairman was beside himself with curiosity.
Chairman Nam waved them off, signaling them to leave.
As they headed toward the parking lot, Guru quietly mulled over the conversation.
‘Guildmaster’s father...’
A family connected by blood.
Now that she thought about it, of course the Guildmaster had a family. It wasn’t like he’d appeared out of nowhere. But she’d never heard him mention them, never seen them, so the thought had never crossed her mind.
‘What kind of person is the Guildmaster’s father?’
Her mind filled with billowing clouds of imagination. If he was a grandfather, maybe he had a mustache.
Guru squeezed Jurim’s large hand tightly.
‘I’m jealous.’
A sharp, prickling sensation spread through her chest, like dozens of thumbtacks dancing in her heart.
It was envy over the simple fact of having blood relatives. A small, growing curiosity.
What does it feel like to have a family connected by blood?
Could she... find her real parents too?
‘If I earn more money...’
If she made enough for her mother and father to want to live with her again—if she became rich enough to make them choose her—maybe they could be together.
After all, they couldn’t just live in the Guildmaster’s house with her.
‘I just have to earn enough to get a house for my family to live in together!’
The Onion Market often had listings from people offering to track down lost relatives.
If she made enough money, she could start searching for real.

Heard Guildmaster Gu Shinhoo stormed into an agency, causing a huge scene, demanding to know who Jjapso really is, lol.
Apparently, due to system restrictions, even the agency couldn’t find out, but the poor employee got absolutely grilled and ended up crying, lmao.

Bro, I don’t know either, stop harassing me.Gu ‘Shinhoo the Clown’ 🤡 got pushed down the rankings by Gidan, must’ve lost his damn mind.I mean, he’s an S-rank, but getting beaten by a kid?

Just because he got lucky once, people won’t shut up about it.Next up, Gu Shinhoo’s fan club.Up -> Down.If you think being an S-rank solo carry is just luck, why don’t you try it?Ranking fluctuations?

When Guru saw the back-to-back messages, she immediately opened her mobile account.
"Oh."
So far, her total sales had reached ten million won.
If she included the money tied up in the Onion Market, it wasn’t a small sum at all.
Guru clasped her kids' phone with both hands and lifted it high into the air.
"Real money!"
For the first time, she had something that felt like actual money instead of just Onion Coin.
"Guru should earn her own allowance and spend it herself!"
Jurim had once given her a sleek black card to use for spending money.
But as soon as Guru received it, she scrunched up her face in displeasure.
The last time she used a card, it was her bus card, and she’d been kicked out of a company building for tapping it at the entrance.
What good was a card like this if she couldn’t even get into a company with it?
And now she was getting another one?!
With puffed-up cheeks, Guru had declared that this wasn’t real money.
Jurim had only laughed—a very obvious laugh of mockery—before setting up a mobile account under her own name and handing it over.
She had explained that Guru couldn’t open an account under her own name yet because the adoption process wasn’t complete.
Guru let the explanation go in one ear and out the other, nodding as if she understood.
The only thing that mattered was—
She finally had a real account!
Although she was still new to this, her syrup business was booming.
"Alright, it's time to evolve."
Now that everything was going smoothly, this was the perfect moment to start on a new creation.
Guru wriggled onto her desk, opened her inventory, and prepared for her next masterpiece.
The key component for her next creation was—
"Duck Grabber!"
