However, in the manhwa, Yoo Myunghan also explains why he was planning to build a Guild in the first place. He wasn't looking to make money but to make strong connections to help keep them safe. With strong Hunters emerging every day, Myunghan believed they needed some good allies.

Thus, with Jinwoo being Jinho's friend, Myunghan was willing to make him the Yoojin Guild's Master. Unfortunately, Jinho had other plans.
