I Became the One Who Takes. 157

## Chapter 157 - (9)

As soon as I got into the motel, I set up my phone.

I was going to video call Hornet.

I planned to threaten him by showing him.

If he didn't hand over the ledger, I'd show him something fun.

I didn't think he'd give it up easily.

If that were the case, I'd have to play with Yuri in front of Hornet like this.

Originally, the quest was to find the ledger of a gang or corporation and publish it in an article.

Even if Hornet didn't work out, there was still the means of a corporate ledger.

However—

"It feels like getting both is the hidden quest..."

My hunches in these kinds of situations were never wrong.

I finished setting up and bowed my head to make sure I was being filmed well.

Future cell phones were different for a reason.

Usually, with videos on regular phones, the frames would skip or the quality would blur a lot.

But like a phone from the future, there was almost no difference from seeing it in person.

If anything, Yuri looked even prettier on the phone.

I guess she looks good on camera.

"...What are you doing with my phone?"
"Preparing a video call."
"Haa... Keep your promise. If Hornet gives you the ledger—"
"Yeah, I won't touch a hair on your head."

Yuri sighed after hearing my answer.

She probably doesn't trust me, but she knows there's no other way.

I touched the phone number labeled "Hornet" and started the video call.

Beep.

[Yuri? Are you okay?]

The call connected before the ringing even finished.

He might have been desperately waiting for a call.

Quite the sweet greeting for a gang's right-hand man.

Maybe he's just warm to his girl... something like that.

Unfortunately, the first person Hornet saw on the call wasn't Yuri, but me.

I grinned, revealing my pearly white teeth.

"Hornet? Are you Hornet?"
[Who, who are you... What are you doing with Yuri's phone—]

Hornet looked more ordinary than I expected.

Average height and build for a man, but his arms looked a bit mechanical, like he was a modified human.

Maybe it wasn't just his arms.

Only Hornet's upper body was visible on the screen.

For Hornet, who was talking excitedly, I slowly moved away from the screen.

Only then would he see.

Yuri, sitting on the bed with an awkward expression, looking at the screen.

[Yuri!]
"Hornet... I'm sorry, I've been kidnapped."
[It's okay! I'll save you!]

It was a touching moment.

I would have been moved if they weren't a gang.

In other words, as long as they were a gang, there was no way I'd be moved.

[What do you want...]
"Your secret ledger."
[How did you know about that...!]

Hornet looked at me with wide eyes.

I nonchalantly sat down next to Yuri.

Seeing me and Yuri sitting side by side, Hornet gritted his teeth.

"Either hand over the ledger, or watch your girlfriend get it on beyond the screen."
[Gi, give me a moment to think!]
"...Hornet...?"

Yuri looked shocked at Hornet's hesitation.

I understand Hornet's dilemma.

Hornet's ledger contained information that would cause friction with the gang boss.

It could be a matter of life and death.

I had assessed Yuri's kinks in advance.

[Kinks: Boyfriend, Kiss]

Relatively normal kinks.

Almost boring in a way.

[Yuri, don't misunderstand, if the contents of the ledger are revealed, everyone will be in danger! Everyone, including you and me!]

Those words didn't comfort Yuri.

She was already looking at the screen with a hurt expression.

"So, have you thought about it?"
[It's not something I can decide so quickly...]

I don't think he understands the situation very well.

I slowly put my hand on Yuri's shoulder.

That alone caused a reaction from both of them.

"Wait, get off..."
[You, you bastard!]

Yuri flinched uncomfortably, and Hornet jumped up from his seat.

"I don't have all day to wait. Make a decision quickly."

My hand slowly stroked Yuri's shoulder.

Yuri trembled.

Hornet also became desperate and shouted.

[Okay, how do I give you the ledger!]

"I'll send a car, put the ledger in the car, and then send the car back to me."

It was an instant delivery service made possible by the era of self-driving cars.

Hornet's expression darkened even more when he realized there was a way to trade the ledger without meeting.

[Damn it... I might be...]

For Hornet, who couldn't muster the courage even after I explained the method, I finally moved my hand.

Yuri's eyes shook violently.

***

A man's large hand grabbed her shoulder.

And slowly, the man approached.

She resented Hornet.

Why?

Why wouldn't he save her over some stupid ledger?

No matter what the reason, she couldn't accept it.

"Ho, Hornet..."

[Wh, what should I do...]

She called out desperately, but Hornet only tore at his hair and looked at her with shaking eyes.

The man, who was already right in front of her, whispered in her ear.

"Open your mouth. You know? If you resist—"
"...Kuh..."

If she resisted, he would do even more intimate things.

It was an offer she couldn't refuse, but it wasn't easy to accept either.

To open her mouth to a strange man in front of Hornet.

No, it wasn't just her fault.

If he had just handed over that damn ledger...

She was annoyed.

At Hornet, and at this man who was mocking her again after she had vowed revenge.

"Ugh... Ah, aah."

She had no choice but to open her mouth.

There was no affection.

She just opened her mouth roughly, as if she were getting a dental examination.

She hoped the man would stop after seeing her cynical reaction, but that didn't happen.

The man looked at her with amusement and said to Hornet.

"Watch closely."

[Wh, what are you doing? Stop it! Yuri!]

Hornet's desperate voice now seemed a bit contrived.

"Are you nervous?"
"...Not really?..."

That's what she said, but of course she was nervous.

The man's face got closer and closer.

She tried to pull her body back little by little, but she couldn't escape completely because of the hand that was tightly holding her shoulder.

She turned her head one last time, but the man lightly grabbed her chin and turned it back.

As the man's face got closer—

Their lips met.

"Eup?!"

She tried to push the man away because of the foreign sensation entering her mouth, but she could only feel his solid body and couldn't push him away.

She also tried to clench her lips, but the man's tongue forced its way in.

Still, she continued to resist.

Because Hornet would be hurt if she didn't resist.

But, the strength in her hands gradually weakened.

She was blankly accepting the man's tongue little by little.

'Why is he so good at kissing?'

The man was too skilled.

He mixed his tongue wildly as if he were going to devour her, but sometimes he lightly touched her lips as if birds were touching beaks.

He deliberately played with her lower lip little by little, biting it, and then grabbed the back of her neck and inserted his tongue deep between her teeth.

"Hoo... Haa..."

Just a moment ago, it wasn't this kind of atmosphere at all.

The atmosphere in the room had become a bit lewd because of this kiss.

She didn't want to react at all.

But because of that, the atmosphere became quieter and stranger.

"Chup... Chup..."

The man grabbed her neck roughly and kissed her again.

Before she knew it, she was responding to the man's kiss.

Her mouth slowly opened, and she bit the man's tongue a little with her lips.

[You, you son of a bitch! Get off her right now! Yuri!]

Hornet's shouting voice felt far away.

She felt like her head was floating.

It was her first time kissing like this.

'He's skilled...'

How many women had received this kiss?

She was sure that everyone who had kissed him like this had thought the same thing.

She had to stop.

It was getting weird.

"Puh-haa..."

The man pulled away after a long kiss.

She looked up at the man with a slightly disappointed expression.

She felt strange about herself.

'Was I originally this horny...? Damn it, it's all because of this man.'

He knew her weaknesses and attacked them.

He made her react and then made her feel guilty.

"How was it? Did you like it?"
"D, don't be ridiculous... I didn't...like it at all."
"Really?"

The man had an expression as if he already knew everything.

Annoyingly, it was probably as the man had expected.

This time, the man asked Hornet.

"How about it? Haven't decided yet?"

[You son of a bitch! I'm going to kill you! Where are you!]

Hornet was no longer in a state to have a conversation.

His face was red and he was spewing out curses with veins popping out of his neck.

He was furious, as if he was going to break his phone.

"Hornet..."

It wasn't a bad feeling that he was angry for her sake, but it wasn't a good attitude for negotiation.

"Hmm... We can't have a conversation."

After saying that, the man ended the call.

She was taken aback by that.

"Why... the call?"
"Because we can't communicate. Don't worry, I told him to text me if he feels like giving me the ledger."

The man looked at her and smiled.

Then he held the phone out towards her.

"From now on, I'll have to take pictures or videos and send them."
"Ah..."

Even though the call was over, the threats to Hornet hadn't stopped.

Because she and this man were still in the motel room.

The man slowly approached and added one word.

"And isn't it easier for you too, since you don't have to hide your reactions?"
"Wh, what... I'm not reacting."

That's what she answered, but she felt uneasy when she thought about the kiss from before.

Could she really not react?

She swallowed hard.
