Chapter 64:
The morning after the kidnapping incident was resolved.
~ ~
Seonwoo Yeon moved her hand when she heard the bell ringing in her pocket.
Hello?
When she answered the phone, she heard a familiar voice coming through the receiver.
-I called because there was a missed call.
Its Kim Kiryeos voice.
But a missed call? Seonwoo Yeon thought for a moment, recalling a previous incident. Ah, right, there was a time when she briefly called this person while talking to Ahn Yoonseung.
Aah, that call.
-What did you contact me for?
It wasnt anything special. Im sorry for bothering you for no reason.
As Seonwoo Yeon politely apologized, a sudden thought crossed her mind, and she voiced it aloud.
But I called two days ago, did you happen to go in and out of any gates?
Isnt it too long of a time to think that he missed a call just because he forgot to charge his phone?
-No, I was briefly kidnapped.
However, the following response was shocking. Kidnapped. It was not a word one would expect to come up in ordinary conversation.
Yes? What did you say?
-I was kidnapped. But Im okay now. I just got back all my belongings.
No, please tell me more. Where were you kidnapped?
Seonwoo Yeon was shocked and urged, but the kidnapped person himself didnt seem very interested in this topic.
-Its already over
But still!
-Its a Rakshasa temple.
Yes?
-I came out from that terrorist hideout you told me about.
Rakshasa Temple had targeted Kim Kiryeo. There were a lot of things she wanted to ask, but Seonwoo Yeon prioritized this question.
A, are you feeling okay?
At that moment, there was a sound of wind over the microphone on the other end of the line. It was unclear whether the person on the other end was laughing or sighing.
-My body is fine.
Seonwoo Yeon felt a little relieved after hearing his confirmation. But then.
Im glad it wasnt anything urgent. Ill hang up for now then.
Huh? Wait a second.
-I might be busy today, so I may not be able to answer calls. If you have something to say, please leave a text message.
Tuk.
The other party hung up the call. Seonwoo Yeon stared blankly at the black cellphone screen and muttered softly.
What on earth happened?
There are still many things she is curious about, though. However, it is impossible to ask a person in detail when he is busy. Seonwoo Yeon had no choice but to find another way. Since she was on good terms with many police officers, it wasnt difficult to gather information about what Kim Kiryeo mentioned.
Hello? Detective Cha, this is Seonwoo Yeon. I called because I have something to ask you.
However, she didnt expect the outcome of that incident to be like this.
Did it fall apart?
Soon, news arrived from the police.
-Yes, yes. Since the news will come out soon anyway, Ill just tell you.
Pseudo-religious Rakshasa Temple. One of its senior members was arrested last night in an emergency operation. However, the circumstances leading up to the arrest are quite extraordinary.
Rakshasa Temple operates in a way similar to a clandestine organization, making it very skilled at covering its tracks, which has made it extremely difficult to trace its whereabouts. For some reason, it is said that Kang Changho attacked the Teacher Daes hiding place.
So when asked how Kang Changho knew about the location, it was said that he was only going to rescue Kim Kiryeo. On the contrary, Kim Kiryeo claimed that he knew nothing because he was a kidnapping victim
Haa.
The testimony of the surviving indoctrinator here plays a crucial role. The man, who worked as a supplier of Rakshasa Temples believers, caused a stir during the trial when Kim Kiryeos name was mentioned.
Hes trembling greatly?
-It was very chaotic. He was calling him a complete demon in human skin, making a huge fuss about it.
Isnt it a bit strange? Why would he be so scared after seeing the person he tortured?
-He says this was all planned by that F-Class person. Did he intentionally get caught to infiltrate the cult?
.
-Hahaha, but does that even make sense? Honestly, who knows when hell be abducted while just living his life.
.
-Anyway, hes just making a fuss. The victim was also shocked, asking what nonsense it was.
Seonwoo Yeon drops the hand holding the cell phone.
-Hunter Seonwoo Yeon?
In her mind, a scene from a summer night passed by. Under the faint moonlight, a clean-cut figure of an awakened person, looking down at others while wearing handcuffs.
Thank you for your time despite your busy schedule.
-Phew, its nothing. How could I forget the help I received from Hunter Seonwoo Yeon?
Tuk.
Hunter Kim Kiryeo, no way
Her nervous face was reflected through the turned off screen.
***
Youre younger than you look, huh?
During the conversation, Kang Changho suddenly asked for my age, and then immediately uttered the following sentence.
Then, I will be straightforward.
There was only one condition of the deal he offered.
Hunter Kim Kiryeo, is it okay if you die by my hands at the age of 34?
.!
If you promise me that, I will let you live like a noble as long as you live.
As soon as I heard that, I broke into a cold sweat.
It had been several months since I escaped from that hellish home planet. I thought I was finally enjoying my new life, but what? Die in just 10 years?
Kang Changho-ssi, how old are you this year?
31.
Then, think about it for a moment. Would you want to die in three years if you were in my shoes? 34 is still such a young age!
I naturally refused the offer. Honestly, I thought it was absurd. But the other person seems to have a slightly different perspective.
Is this something that makes you jump out of your seat like that?
Kang Changho looked up at me preparing to leave and spoke calmly.
In my position, even waiting ten years is a lot, and hunters, after all, have a short life expectancy.
Life expectancy?
Even those top-tier A-Class can die from just one wrong move against a monster. Are you trying to save money for retirement by working hard in a place like this?
.
Do you know what will happen in the future?
Haa.
Rather than that, isnt it better to enjoy what you can while youre young? Ill support you with a minimum of 50 million won each month.
.
And Ill provide you with a house, a car, anything you want.
Kang Changho expressed his thoughts without even changing his facial expression.
I guarantee you, there will be a line of other lower rank hunters eager to accept this deal.
Lower rank hunter.
Wow, you said it right.
Hunter Kang Changho, youre forgetting something
I stopped leaving and sat down on the sofa again.
The condition for using the improvement is to kill the strong, right?
Yeah.
Im not sure about the exact criteria, but F-Class wouldnt fit into the category of strong.
Thats right.
Then its settled. Im truly an F-Class! Dont get me wrong. Theres nothing to gain from killing me.
I voiced my frustration, but Kang Changhos response was subtle. He just rested his chin on one hand and rolled his eyes with a sour expression on his face.
Then how did you attack the Golden Fragrance? The cultists were saying that in the police station. They said they captured you because you were the awakened person who killed Grid.
I quickly answered that question as well. Capturing Grid was purely a stroke of luck, and the only fault here was slipping on the ice.
It is truly the truth without any lies.
Hahaha.
The S-Class hunter laughed out loud as soon as he heard the process of clearing the gate.
You stumbled, and then the boss died.
If you dont believe me, ask another awakened person in the Golden Fragrance
So, youre coming out like this.
Kang Changho looked at me with a smiling face for a while and then said,
Then how are you holding up now?
Yes?
Just look around for a moment.
What do you mean by look around?
I looked away. Only then was I able to understand what the other person was saying.
Ah.
The customers, who were sitting there for a while, are now lying unconscious in silence. Moreover, even the cashier at the checkout counter who was far away was frozen with a blue complexion.
That means.
I slowly increased the intensity from a while ago, but I never thought you would be fine until it got to this point.
Kang Chang-ho was releasing his magic throughout the conversation. And he did so subtly enough that even a grand magician wouldnt notice
Damn it.
In my hometown, even newborn children had this much magical power, so I got used to it without even realizing it!
You suddenly became quiet, huh?
Drrrk.
The S-Class hunter asked vaguely, leaning his arms on the table.
What is your real awakening class?
To be honest, the answer itself wasnt difficult. But before that, I need to polish up the sentence a bit.
Hey you b*stard! F-Class, its an F-Class. How many times can I say that I am a low-rank, you b*stard!
Because saying something like that will only worsen the situation.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
