Jin-Woo now stood on top of a skyscraper that afforded him a view of the entire city. His eyesight, better to severe heights via his notion Stat, started out scanning the city from the streets right beneath the skyscraper all the manner to the residential homes located inside the some distance-off distance.
while doing that, his hearing was focused at the noises his Shadow squaddies picked up.
[Hey, Smith! How have you been?]
[Dear customer, our store doesn’t accept returns based on a customer’s sudden change of mind….]
[C’mon, man. Why didn’t you come to the party last night?]
quite plenty they all were vain idle talks.
aside from the ones, the horns of passing automobiles, noises from tv audio system, cats meowing, splashes of water from lavatories, and so on. – all types of sounds made by way of a living town entered Jin-Woo’s ears.
Sweat drops formed on his forehead as he utilised his 5 senses, plus the 6th one to come across magic electricity, to their fullest volume.
‘I wouldn’t be going via this lots problem if I just left the Shadow Soldier in Jin-Ho’s shadow….’
Didn’t someone say this before? It turned into already too late the moment you start regretting it.
The ant soldier he had inserted in Yu Jin-Ho’s shadow simply in case had been used to get to Chairman Yu Myung-Han’s clinic room. Jin-Woo have become sincerely busy after that, and due to the fact he become making plans to accompany the child at some stage in their trip to america, he had forgotten about inserting a alternative.
And the stop end result from all of that is him working his a*s off like this.
‘Kamish’s shadow is gone, and Jin-Ho’s whereabouts are unknown….’
Veins popped up separately on Jin-Woo’s brow. His already gloomy mood had now hit rock bottom and changed into approximately to convert into a storm cloud.
His knife-like glare, sharp enough to nearly shoot bolts of lightning, darted this manner and that as though he didn’t want to miss a unmarried movement occurring down underneath.
alas, in no way mind Yu Jin-Ho, it proved very hard to discover an Asian young people that resembled him on this metropolis.
‘may want to it be…. they’re no longer inside the city in any respect?’
To Jin-Woo, Yu Jin-Ho is probably a adorable little brother, but the truth became, the kid became nevertheless a melee-type rank D Hunter. Any ol’ organization of ordinary people trying to soar him wouldn’t paintings in any respect.
If the car supposedly heading for the Hunter Bureau’s HQ all at once drove out of the town limits, Yu Jin-Ho might have realised some thing became amiss and commenced resisting his kidnappers.
the sole hassle was…
‘The b*stard kidnapping Jin-Ho was a rank S Hunter.’
Jin-Woo right now widened the scope of his shadows’ movements.
‘His call was Hwang Dong-Su, wasn’t it?’
Jin-Woo didn’t understand why that man faked his name and took Yu Jin-Ho away. however, this changed into about ‘deliver and Take’. He changed into decided to ask for appropriate compensation for provoking him like this.
And, if something untoward befell to Jin-Ho for some reason…
A risky gleam flashed eerily inside Jin-Woo’s eyes.
not too long after, the Shadow soldiers expanding their seek variety despatched in countless bits of records that encompassed everything of the city.
***
in the long run, Hwang Dong-Su clearly went for it and induced an incident.
An emergency state of affairs descended on the Scavenger Guild as soon as that truth was revealed to its participants. Their opponent this time changed into Seong Jin-Woo.
just one misstep and Hwang Dong-Su’s existence will be forfeited.
He was one of the pinnacle aces in the Scavenger Guild and need to be considered as one of the center pillars of its combat pressure, too.
Thomas Andre couldn’t come up with the money for to lose someone like that. but all he could do in the intervening time turned into to sit down in his office and anxiously watch for any information.
“something new?”
His subordinate shook his head with a darkened complexion.
“No, sir.”
The frowns on Thomas Andre’s brow grew deeper by using a degree.
monitoring Hwang Dong-Su via his cellphone changed into impossible on account that he had switched the device off. The places he frequented were searched very well by means of the Guild’s members, however unluckily, nothing worth of observe were exposed to this point. It appeared that Mister Hwang have been planning for at the present time for pretty a while.
‘Isn’t he afraid of demise?’
No, Mister Hwang become also a rank S Hunter. He ought to be aware of the differences in strengths between himself and Seong Jin-Woo, on the naked minimum.
Even then, he nonetheless went in advance and did some thing so monumentally silly. because he probable had something he could place his bets on.
‘He knows that I’ll step up on his behalf.’
well, that fool wasn’t incorrect together with his calculation. no matter whether or not that man could cause every other incident inside the future or not, he’d nonetheless stay as Scavenger Guild’s asset till the settlement length expired.
The Guild saw capability in Hwang Dong-Su’s competencies and had invested a ton of money on him. He bravely started this crap without a take care of the aftermath because he knew that Thomas Andre might in no way willingly surrender on his assets.
‘….Did I treat my Hunters too nicely till now?’
Thomas Andre repeatedly instructed himself to strictly area his underlings as quickly as this issue have been looked after out so that they wouldn’t motive some other trouble like this one within the future.
The Guild personnel within the close to vicinity needed to live more careful, inspite of their respiratory, as Thomas Andre’s disenchanted temper continued to stew quietly.
It become then, his phone unexpectedly commenced ringing. Thomas Andre had been ready too anxiously for news, irrespective of what nature it took, and hurriedly yanked the receiver up.
– “We might be able to music down Mister Hwang’s vicinity, sir.”
The voice on the line belonged to Laura. Thomas Andre shot up from his chair.
“How?”
She knew what he became feeling proper now, so Laura didn’t pause for a 2d earlier than she quickly carried on with her explanation.
– “I asked for help from the Hunter Bureau and changed into able to examine Mister Hwang’s motion patterns for the closing 3 months. i found out that there were a total of 3 times while he broke away from his standard place of pastime and moved to an unknown vicinity.”
‘very good!’
Thomas Andre nodded his head. as a substitute , they have been capable of find a clue earlier than he notion.
“ship absolutely everyone to that region. I’ll be on my manner there, as properly.”
– “Understood, sir.”
Thomas Andre was approximately to give up the decision there but hesitated slightly, before raising the receiver up once more.
“by means of the way… how did you persuade the old codgers inside the Hunter Bureau, Laura?”
The Hunter Bureau had a addiction of recording the places and motion patterns of all the Hunters through GPS attached to the Hunter-issue smartphones.
Of route, they have been no longer an agency known for giving away their statistics willy-nilly. even if it turned into the Scavenger Guild making the request, the approval procedure have to take numerous hours at a naked minimum. however to think, they spat out Hwang Dong-Su’s information, similar to that.
This didn’t sound logical in any respect. Thomas Andre couldn’t help however get curious approximately the methods Laura employed right here to persuade them.
however, her solution became instead simple in nature.
– “I simplest instructed them that if we don’t discover Hunter Hwang Dong-Su as fast as feasible, then there’s a risk that Mister Seong Jin-Woo and you, master, would possibly collide in opposition to every different.”
***
“each unmarried Guild member has started moving, sir!”
Adam White, currently staring at the behaviour of the Scavenger Guild, cried out in an urgent voice at his phone. The deputy director on the opposite aspect of the line speedy asked again.
– “All 100 of them?!”
“I just determined out that the raid they have been getting geared up for has been cancelled as well, sir. All in their Hunters are being mobilised to move someplace.”
– “What in the world…. simply what goes on right here?”
“…”
Adam White couldn’t without difficulty open his mouth here.
A rank S Hunter from the Scavenger Guild used Hunter Seong Jin-Woo’s name and kidnapped Yu Jin-Ho. and then, both Seong Jin-Woo and the Scavenger Guild had started mobilising.
This couldn’t were some thing easy in any respect.
now not to mention, with the whole thing of the Scavenger Guild being mobilised like that, it could handiest suggest that Thomas Andre changed into in the back of the flow. The ominous foreboding crept up on Adam White and he fast wiped the sweat off his face.
sure enough – Adam iced up up instantaneous after coming across Thomas Andre stroll out of the Guild building’s front.
‘Heok….’
the yankee Hunter took a sweeping look around as soon as before mountain climbing into a waiting vehicle. The car then hurriedly activate to an unknown vacation spot.
And it simply so befell to be inside the identical direction where the Hunters of the Scavenger Guild had disappeared to, as properly. Adam White did his nice to calm his trembling voice and defined what he saw to the deputy director.
“S-sir… The Goliath… Thomas Andre has made his circulate as properly. Sir.”
***
“is this in reality o.k.?”
a person checked out Yu Jin-Ho mendacity subconscious on the ground and worriedly asked. Hwang Dong-Su to his side nodded his head.
“look, I’m no longer gonna do anything horrific to him, o.k.? I simply want to invite him approximately this one aspect, that’s all.”
The Guild grasp Thomas Andre warned him. He stated no longer to provoke Seong Jin-Woo.
but, Hwang Dong-Su never planned to initiate that man from the get-go, besides. Why? due to the fact there was yet another man or woman beside Seong Jin-Woo that might solution the question burning a hole in his head. That turned into why.
The question of what occurred on that day – the events that befell in the dungeon in which his older brother Hwang Dong-Seok, Seong Jin-Woo, and Yu Jin-Ho entered collectively. Hwang Dong-Su promised Yu Jin-Ho that he’d be freed as soon as he spoke back that query surely.
alas, Yu Jin-Ho didn’t squeak a word out right until he ended up in this sort of pathetic, wretched kingdom. The longer Yu Jin-Ho saved his mouth shut, the stronger Hwang Dong-Su’s convictions have become, although.
All he desired to listen turned into one element.
[“Seong Jin-Woo killed your brother.”]
If he could just listen that one sentence, he’d no longer have any commercial enterprise with Yu Jin-Ho. but then, with what balls was a punk with a small body and a naive-searching face keeping his mouth close against a rank S Hunter? His braveness on my own turned into well worth praising him for.
‘Of course, his foolhardiness won’t get him off the hook right here.’
Hwang Dong-Su gently kicked the waist of Yu Jin-Ho’s closely-wounded-all-over body.
“Oii. awaken.”
might this be the fourth time the kid fainted and become woken returned up once more? Hwang Dong-Su’s infection grew particularly at Yu Jin-Ho’s tenacious persistence and his kick have become a little extra vicious than earlier than.
“I said, get the hell up!”
Pow!
“Keo-heok!”
Yu Jin-Ho curled up on the ground as he spat out the pooled blood in his mouth. The third guy of Hwang Dong-Su’s organization started cackling out.
“nevertheless, this child’s supposed to be a tanker, wasn’t he? He sure can face up to some punishment, can’t he? A normal character would’ve died via now.”
Hwang Dong-Su’s face now pondered no emotion whatsoever as he grabbed the lower back of Yu Jin-Ho’s head to yank it up.
“concentrate here. I don’t need to kill you. you spot this guy over here laughing his a*s off? let me let you know, he’s a Healer with a few big skill. He’ll carry you lower back simply before you’re about to die.”
Yu Jin-Ho’s blurry gaze become directed to the cackling guy, and the Hunter grinned brightly and wagged his finger round as though to greet the child.
Hwang Dong-Su’s viciously moved his hand.
“Keo-heok!”
Yu Jin-Ho’s head, nevertheless grabbed by using that hand, also needed to viciously swing to the aspect. He now could see the dirt-stuffed interior of a decrepit constructing. Hwang Dong-Su persisted on.
“This here is a manufacturing unit that closed down over 5 years in the past. you may scream all you want, but no person’s gonna hear you.”
After grabbing and solving Yu Jin-Ho’s head inside the location, Hwang Dong-Su delivered his personal face right up in opposition to the kid’s nose. Their locked gazes grew nearer and closer.
“which means that, you will be afflicted by extreme ache forever. this is, till you inform me what I need to listen.”
after they got near sufficient for his or her noses to the touch, Hwang Dong-Su fashioned a toothy grin.
“So, how about it? Do you experience like talking now?”
“…”
Yu Jin-Ho’s busted lips bobbed up and down however his voice turned into too small or even Hwang Dong-Su couldn’t pay attention it.
“What did you say?”
“….”
Hwang Dong-Su tilted his head slightly in confusion and taken his ear close to the kid. while the ear become only a few millimetres away from his lips, Yu Jin-Ho whispered softly.
“…..F*ck off.”
Hwang Dong-Su’s expression crumpled right away.
Ka-boom!
He slammed the aspect of Yu Jin-Ho’s head on the floor and panted like an irritated bull.
“Oii! Did you just kill him?”
The Healer’s brows shot up and he quickly checked for Yu Jin-Ho’s pulse.
“Whew-woo.”
After confirming that the child’s heart become nonetheless beating, the Healer spat out a sigh of comfort. nevertheless, there was absolute confidence that this younger and vulnerable Hunter’s existence might’ve been cut short if Hwang Dong-Su had used a little more of his power.
“Mister Hwang, be greater cautious, will ya? I don’t need to emerge as an partner to a assassin simply due to money, all right?”
“…I’ll be greater careful.”
Hwang Dong-Su recounted his mistake.
turned into it because of the precariousness of the state of affairs? the person who couldn’t cover his issues from the get-pass determined to influence Hwang Dong-Su.
“allow’s just call it a day and flow on. Haven’t you determined out all you can via now?”
“What are you speakme approximately? We’re only getting began.”
The corners of Hwang Dong-Su’s lips arched to form a sinister smile. His vicious, cruel nature become pretty a whole lot the carbon-copy of his older brother.
the person knew he didn’t exchange Hwang Dong-Su’s thoughts. nevertheless feeling worried and worrying, he continued to experiment his surroundings. And it came about at that moment. He determined something status over on the opposite facet of the disused manufacturing facility.
What could it’s?
the person’s eyes narrowed to a slit.
after which…
“Uh? Huh, uh??”
He have become amazed by way of his discovery and pointed in that direction. Hwang Dong-Su and the Healer both raised their heads to take a look. There it became, a excessive Orc kitted out in black armour status over yonder.
“….An Orc?”
Hwang Dong-Su stood up. The Healer checking Yu Jin-Ho’s condition also got up from the ground.
“Is there a dungeon ruin going on close by?”
Hwang Dong-Su shook his head. If that turned into the case, their surroundings should’ve emerge as a pandemonium via now.
He extended out his sensory perception simply in case and searched for different presence inside the vicinity, but he couldn’t experience every other monsters in any respect. This high Orc became all alone.
“Now that’s quite bizarre.”
That wasn’t the handiest bizarre element, although.
The excessive Orc become virtually shivering.
As a remember of reality, its facial expression contained terror. It seemed as if the creature become barely keeping lower back tears threatening to burst out at any second. And all four of its limbs have been quivering from natural fright, too.
“Mister Hwang. I assume that issue is fearful of you.”
“….I don’t have time to idiot around like this.”
White rays of light began coagulating on Hwang Dong-Su’s clenched fist. He didn’t know in which this Orc came from, however now that he had observed it, of path, he wouldn’t permit it just walk away.
Hwang Dong-Su strode right up to the Orc and raised his fist so he ought to blow the monster’s head easy off. before he should do this, although…
….The heavy voice of a man all of sudden called out from somewhere.
– “trade.”
