Surprisingly, there were almost no cases of targeting the families of hunters.
Of course, there were people who asked to borrow money because they were the family of a famous hunter, and people who tried to stick straws in the background.
What kind of society is it now?
A modern information society where force is respected rather than the law, and when a hunter, who is the pinnacle of force, decides to start searching, he is bound to be caught quickly!
Unless he wanted to commit suicide, it was safe to assu that no one would kidnap or take hostage Hunter’s family.
That’s why Lee Yu-ri’s words were shocking.
The Utopia party mbers who gathered at Jin Yu-ha’s house at his house were honestly…
‘Jin Yu-ha, what on earth happened to this house!?’
‘Noorung, you have a house like this, so why on earth…’
‘Your junior, was he by any chance an extrely wealthy person who was controlling our country from the back world? The source of the highest grade magic stone is, of course…’
‘Wow─. If you are Jin Yu-ha, you live in a house like this… Ah! Tea, thank you!’
And so on.
There was so, so, so much I wanted to say about Jin Yu-ha’s shocking hidden wealth!
I felt like a halo was coming down on Jin Yu-ha’s appearance, which I’m now sowhat familiar with!
Even now, I’m still moving around in the air with the pinnacle of magical engineering, making a bewildered expression at the kettle serving hot tea in front of !
Yes, but!
“Well, her younger siblings haven’t contacted …. Oh, my mother and father too… And the house is a ss…”
I was not tactless enough to raise my curiosity in front of Yu-ri Lee, who was explaining the situation with her hands and feet shaking.
The party mbers tried not to pay attention to their surroundings as much as possible and focused on Yuri Lee’s words.
And what was absurd was the sa for Jin Yu-ha.
I just called the party mbers to get advice on what to do with Lina’s too-large gift that I received right away…
‘Gukbap’s family was kidnapped?’
Of course, among the personal stories I rember from Lee Yu-ri, there was one in which she was contacted by private loan sharks who had lent her money.
─ Are you Mr. Lee Yu-ri? This is SWC Bank. What I contacted you this ti was no different…
However, even they did not have any neck strain from the Velvet Academy cadets who had built up a certain reputation.
I couldn’t even think about holding my family hostage or making threats.
Rather, in order not to offend Lee Yu-ri, we approach it cautiously, citing as many legal grounds as possible.
If we were to identify the culprit who did this…
“Is it Mine?”
Then the party mbers gasped at those words.
“······Ma, mine?”
“Mine?”
“······!”
Yuri Lee bit her lip until it bled.
Because she rembered the vicious side of those demons that she experienced during the mid-term evaluation.
I imdiately stopped Yu-ri Lee, who was about to get up from the spot.
“Wait a minute, soup. Sit down. Mine has a low probability. “They are capable of doing sothing like that, but now is not a good ti.”
“Jin Yuha is right. “Now is the ti for horsen to buy.”
After Shin Se-hee stepped forward to help, Yu-ri Lee sat down again.
“What does that an?”
Lee Yu-ri asked back in a cool, subdued voice.
If the demons were in front of , they were going to hit right here and there again and again.
“Speak clearly.”
Gulp.
Shin Se-hee, who was originally weak to Lee Yu-ri, broke out in a cold sweat due to the bloody montum.
“······Now, Mine people have offended Chairman Lina.”
“Yes, the Mines screwed Lina a lot during this mid-term evaluation. “No matter how public opinion and the dia claim that eradicating demons was also a test for Rina, it doesn’t an that she didn’t get screwed.”
Then Shin Se-hee nodded.
“Yes, it is unlikely that Maje will do such a notable thing when he is already searching through the demons.”
“But really, if it’s a demon…!”
“Don’t worry. “It’s not like there’s no way when you’re a demon.”
Yuri Lee got angry and tried to say sothing, but I cut her off.
“There are experts in that area.”
“······Expert?”
“Yes, a person who is good at tracking down demons. “There is no one in our country better at chasing down and killing demons than him.”
Totodog─
Tiring─♬
I sent her a text ssage right on the spot.
And the answer ca back right away.
“I received a reply. He said he would check it right now. “They say they are also forming a pursuit team.”
“······!”
Then the party mbers widened their eyes.
I was thrilled by his connections!
You’re an expert at tracking down those dangerous demons! When did Jin Yuha create such a pipeline?
‘Ah, don’t they know that Instructor Baek Seol-hee is the head of the Demon Killing Squad?’
As expected, coming here straight away was the right answer.
Jin Yu-ha tries to help as if it were his own business.
The gratitude Lee Yu-ri felt was on a different level.
“Thank you… Jin Yu-ha…”
“Because the matter is not resolved yet. “You can say thank you later.”
Jin Yuha looked around at the party mbers with a serious face.
“Everyone, please take this matter seriously.”
“Yes, I understand.”
“Yes.”
The party mbers who did not respond also nodded heavily.
“We will split the party for efficiency.”
In the current situation, it is inefficient for everyone to move together.
It is good to at least have each person take on a role.
“First of all, Shin Se-hee. “Please gather information along with background checks on Lee Yu-ri’s family.”
“Yes, I understand.”
“Kang Do-hee, you arrange for hunters who are good at tracking, and also ask for cooperation from the police.”
“Okay.”
Kang Do-hee and Shin Se-hee each have fa and connections, so it would be a good idea to use this to investigate their surroundings.
“······And, Sophia and Gaeul, let’s move together with .”
“Yes, yes! “Okay!”
“Yes, I understand. Junior.”
“Then, if you find anything, please contact imdiately.”
After nodding to Kang Do-hee and Shin Se-hee once, I headed straight to the scene.
* * *
Shin Se-hee lent her car with Secretary Kim.
Jin Yu-ha, Yu-ri Lee, Sophia, and Ga-eul Lim departed for Yu-ri Lee’s house to check the scene.
Lee Yu-ri’s heart was beating violently with anxiety and tension.
‘Really, sothing didn’t happen to my younger siblings or parents…?’
I’m sure it will be okay.
It will be okay.
Nothing will happen.
I kept repeating it to myself, but I couldn’t help but think that my imagination kept going in a negative direction.
I couldn’t control my anxiety and was squirming with my hands clasped together.
“It’ll be okay.”
Sigh.
Jin Yuha, who was sitting next to her, covered her hand with hers.
Lee Yu-ri’s head turned.
“Don’t worry. “Everyone will be safe.”
He spoke as if there was no doubt whatsoever.
Even though he was saying sothing without any certainty, his words had a strange magic that made you want to just ignore them and believe them.
“Yes…”
Yuri Lee slowly nodded his head.
*
And then we arrived at Yuri Lee’s house.
“Senior Gaeul, please investigate the surroundings.”
“Yes, okay! Junior. “Leave it to .”
It was Sofia and I who checked the inside of Gukbap’s house.
At the chaotic scene, my expression hardened.
Clothes are strewn about in a cramped and worn-out room.
Everything in the house is open and broken.
It seems like there was no intention to hide them, traces left behind.
I took off my shoes and went into the house.
And imdiately checked the floor.
“For sure, soone ca and went.”
Footprints remain in the room, as if there was no intention to take off the shoes.
Using the tracking technique he learned from Baek Seol-hee, he recited the characteristics of the criminal.
“There are four people. Both genders are female. And it seems like it’s not much longer than I thought.”
“······!”
“I guess you were in quite a hurry? “They forced the door open and ca in.”
A sense of reality has been added to the truly shocking family kidnapping theory.
“Is this a planned cri aid at Gukbap, knowing he would co today?”
“······Well, I don’t think that’s right.”
“Sophia?”
I didn’t expect her to say sothing like that, so my eyes widened.
Nod your head as if asking to say a little more.
“···Well, if it was a kidnapping, I don’t think there would be any need to search here like this.”
“There is no need?”
“Umm, kidnapping ans taking soone with you?”
“But?”
“Well, was there a need to search the house to take soone away? “Even if you take her with you when she falls asleep, you won’t have ti to worry about things like wealth because you’ll be so focused on people.”
“Ah.”
After hearing it, it really seed plausible. If he was actually trying to demand ransom from Yu-ri Lee, there was no need to search the house!
To commit such a serious cri, would they even search such a shabby room?
It was only then that I was able to relax a little.
“First of all, I don’t think my family was in any danger right now.”
“······Yes?”
“Yes, if there had been any resistance, there would have been traces left, but there was none. There are shattered furniture, but the attack was not directed at people, but rather at the furniture itself. Of course, you can’t be sure. For example, take your family out by threatening them. “It is possible that the remaining people searched the room.”
Yuri Lee still looked a little more determined than before.
“Well, I think I should take a look around first. “Please take a closer look at the room with Sofia and Yuri Lee.”
“Yes!!”
I left them inside the house and went out.
“Squinted eyes and darkness! Blind-eyed darkness! “Squinted black eyes!!”
When I ca outside, I heard the voices of children.
Whiriliririk─!
“Wow! “I’m really fast!!”
“Sister! Sister! Sister! too!!!”
“Waaa!! Do it again! “Again!!”
The neighborhood children were all glued to Lim Ga-eul.
And in the middle of it all, Lim Ga-eul covered half of her face with a solemn expression.
“With the black fire on my back, with the power of the black fla dragon, I have feet that allow to run faster than anyone else…”
I looked at her and burst out laughing out of embarrassnt.
“······Senior, what are you doing?”
“Hatred in the world—eh!? Hike!?”
Lim Ga-eul blushes bright red as if she has been caught being embarrassed.
Normally, I could have seen such vicious behavior as cute, but now is not the ti.
From noble mtl dot com
“······In a situation where Gukbap’s family may have been kidnapped. Are you playing now?”
“Hey, junior! I didn’t play! It was an investigation!! “It’s true!!”
Then Lim Ga-eul blurted out as if it was a misunderstanding.
“Question?”
No, you have to be able to trust it.
Let’s look at her with eyes full of disbelief.
“······I asked the kids at first, but they were so wary, so… “I was playing with him to lower his guard, so I guess he got a little caught up in it, Joe!”
Lim Ga-eul whispered to in a low voice.
“Hmm?”
“Looking at them, it seems like they co here every day and play. “I was wondering if anyone suspicious could tell if they saw it…”
‘I was doing it better than I thought?’
I looked at her Lim Autumn with new admiring eyes.
“······Junior, your eyes look a little strange.”
“So, did you recognize it?”
“Oh, huh? Huh! Now, just a mont!”
Lim Ga-eul stroked the head of a boy hanging over her head.
“Hey, kid. “Have you not noticed a group of evil n entering this house?”
“A bunch of evil?”
“My older sister is the hero who defeats the villain, ‘Silent-eyed Darkness’!”
‘Aren’t you embarrassed to say sothing like that with your own mouth?’
But, those words were really effective for the child.
“······Hero of justice! Si, narrow-eyed darkness!”
“Yes, yes, it’s soone you don’t normally see. Have you seen anyone unusual?”
“A unique person you don’t normally see?”
The little boy thought deeply and then glanced at Jin Yuha in front of him.
“Oh, no! This brother is a friend of the narrow-eyed dark side! “You’re talking about soone else!”
“Ah! “Those four ladies who ca here this morning?”
I opened my eyes wide.
Four won.
It matched exactly with the traces seen at Lee Yu-ri’s house.
I beca a little anxious and asked the child directly.
“By any chance, were there any other characteristics? For example, having one eye or having a crooked leg. “I called your na…”
Lim Ga-eul looked at with a bewildered expression, as if it was impossible for a child like this to know such specific characteristics.
Party!
“Ah! The other ladies who ca with us are Hyeji! “I called her Hyeji!”
“······Is it there?”
“······Hyeji…?”
A cold voice suddenly ca from behind.
When I turned my head, I saw Yuri there, her face distorted grimly.
“What the f*ck…?”
Hyeji thought about soone for a mont at her violent reaction.
I opened my eyes wide.
“Oh, really…?”
Now it is a distant sight,
First eting with Lee Yuri.
A mory of when her party was conquering the E-class dungeon, Calla’s Forest.
At that ti, there was originally a dealer in Yuri Lee’s party.
And when she escaped, I was lucky enough to join her as a substitute.
‘The dealer who escaped… Surely her na wasn’t Hyeji?’
