I Became the One Who Takes. 160

## Chapter 160 - (12)

"What the..."
"Why, why here..."

People were terrified and avoiding the area, seeing the menacing men who had taken over the motel's surroundings.

Even though they were practically blocking the road and street, the police didn't show up.

It made me realize once again that the setting of this world was cyberpunk.

Hornet, standing at the center of it all, was frowning as he smoothed down his short hair.

I took a picture of him with my phone.

"The image quality is good, so it's fun to take pictures."

I could understand a little why women took selfies.

Taking pictures was a very addictive activity.

You could always take out memories or moments you wanted to see again.

"Why are you taking pictures of that?"

Sian frowned deeply and glared at the gang members.

Gang members were no longer within her walls.

In a true sense, Sian hated gangs.

"Just thought it would be good to use as a photo for an article later."
"Ah... you were a reporter."

Sian smiled as if she had just remembered.

I hadn't really acted like a reporter.

I understand that too.

I was more like... what should I say?

A hitman suited me better.

Infiltration, kidnapping, even threats.

What kind of reporter does that?

I was no different from a gang member.

"He must have brought the ledger too."
"Hmph, good. If that ledger gets exposed, it's the end for Hornet too."

She wasn't looking at her ex-boyfriend.

It was the gaze of a woman filled with hatred.

It seemed even fiercer than the way she looked at Yuri.

Did she feel more betrayed by Hornet than Yuri in the past incident?

I looked at Sian's profile and decided to start moving.

"Shall we go?"

I didn't want to watch them block the street and make people uncomfortable forever.

Just then, Sian suddenly grabbed my sleeve.

"Are you okay? There are a lot of people..."
"Huh?"

I looked at the gang members occupying the street outside.

Are there a lot?

No, it seemed like he couldn't bring that many gang members with him in a hurry.

Nevertheless, Sian was worried about me.

"Even though his personality and actions are trashy, Viper is a pretty famous gang. It might be a little dangerous..."

Is that so.

Sian had never seen me fight properly.

If it were Yuri, she wouldn't have worried about me.

"It's okay."
"...Hmm..."

Sian had a slightly uneasy expression, but when I flexed my bicep as if showing off, telling her to trust me, she chuckled and nodded.

Sian stared intently at my body.

"...Put your hand on my shoulder. Wear your clothes a little looser... and then—"

Then she started correcting my posture one by one.

She said the first impression was important when appearing, so she adjusted me a little.

Soon, a familiar look was completed.

It was the complete image of a thug and a woman being targeted by that thug.

"Hornet will be flustered if you appear like this, right?"

Of course, he would.

He came to save his current girlfriend from a kidnapper, but I appeared with his ex-girlfriend.

That alone would be surprising enough.

It would be even more surprising if I was a thug.

We looked at each other, nodded, and slowly headed towards them.

"H-Hyung-nim! Over there! They're coming out!"
"They finally crawled o—"

A man who seemed to be Hornet's subordinate pointed at us and shouted, and Hornet slowly turned to look at us.

He had a deep furrow in the middle of his forehead from frowning so much, but when he saw Sian next to me, his expression immediately relaxed.

He made eye contact with Sian and stood still like a statue, not moving.

"...Sian?"

Sian, who was called by Hornet, made a blatantly disgusted expression and snuggled into my arms.

Then, Hornet's expression distorted.

He looked like he was about to charge at any moment.

"You... what's your relationship with Sian?"
"Whatever the relationship is. What's it to you..."

When Hornet put on an intimidating act and snapped at me, Sian answered for me instead.

Her bold answer made me and Hornet's subordinates chuckle.

"Laughing?"

Hornet gritted his teeth and glared at the subordinates who laughed around him, and the subordinates scratched the back of their heads awkwardly.

I added a word, following Sian's lead.

"Never mind our relationship, let's make a deal."

With those words, I hugged Sian tighter.

"This bastard..."

Even though they had broken up, Hornet still had feelings for Sian, and his expression distorted every time.

Sian knew that, so she clung to me with an even more seductive expression.

Hornet's shoulders were trembling.

He must be very angry.

"...Yuri, where's Yuri?"

I shook my phone.

It was obviously Yuri's phone.

"She's in here, exchange it for the ledger."
"...How can I trust you?"
"I don't trust you either."
"..."

At my words, Hornet glared at me and threw the ledger towards me.

I lightly caught the ledger and threw the phone.

Catch.

We both received the items we were given.

Yuri's phone was now in Hornet's hands, and Hornet's ledger was now in my hands.

I opened the ledger and lightly read its contents.

"You've done a lot."

There was evidence here of him secretly embezzling the organization's money.

But something was missing.

What should I call it, the core content?

It felt like the largest transactions were missing.

"W-What is this..."

Suddenly, Hornet, who was checking the phone, made a noise and moved his hands in a flustered manner.

While I was looking at the ledger, he was looking all over the phone to find out where Yuri was.

In the end, he seemed to have checked the gallery.

"...Heok..."

He breathed roughly, as if he was about to suffocate, and he couldn't take his eyes off the gallery.

I could feel his hot breath all the way over here.

'...Look at this?'

To be honest, I thought he would immediately rush at me in anger or swear at me, but his reaction was strange.

He couldn't take his eyes off the pictures.

He was even muttering in a small voice.

"Yuri making this kind of expression..."

[Fetish: Girlfriend, NTR]

Hornet was staring at the pictures with a blank expression.

He probably didn't even know it himself.

That something that shouldn't be added to his fetish had been added.

It's better this way.

This way, we can make a deal.

I let go of Sian's shoulder and slowly approached Hornet alone.

Hornet's subordinates were wary of me when they saw me.

Hornet himself was so engrossed in the pictures that he didn't even notice that I had come close.

I checked to see why he was staring at one picture for so long, and it was a picture of Yuri lying on the bed with a disheveled expression.

It was a picture I took right before coming here.

"Do you like that picture?"
"...W-What nonsense! This..."

Hornet was surprised and turned off the picture when I spoke to him with a subtle smile.

He belatedly tried to hide it, but it was already too late.

I could already see everything.

His excited face, his changed fetish.

I whispered softly, just loud enough for Hornet to hear.

"If you want, I can give you more pictures like this."
"...I'm Yuri's boyfriend. I don't need pictures like this."
"It seems like Yuri's heart has already left, though?"

At those words, Hornet's eyes widened as he looked at me.

"T-That can't be. Yuri loves me..."
"Look at the picture, what kind of expression is Yuri making."
"..."

Hornet slowly turned on the phone again and looked at the phone.

In the picture, Yuri was looking up at the camera with hazy eyes.

There was no sense of coercion there.

There was even a little affection mixed in.

"No way..."
"That's why you should have given up the ledger right away."

At my words, Hornet covered his head with his hands.

In fact, he probably knew it himself.

Even while he was talking to Yuri on the phone, Yuri's voice was getting colder in real time.

His eyes looking at the picture became more affectionate.

"Don't worry, I'll talk to Yuri."
"...What..."
"I'll tell her not to break up with you. Because that's my type."
"What...?"

Hornet looked at me with a shocked expression.

It wasn't anger.

He was looking at me as if he was really scared.

It wasn't important whether Yuri's choice could really change with my words.

Lies are more effective the more brazen they are.

The only truth among the things I just said was that I really had that kind of taste.

Stealing other people's women.

That taste was not a lie.

"Why don't I take a video for you next time?"

Hornet's eyes started to shake at my casual words.

He was almost completely 넘어왔다.

I glanced at Sian and said.

"Not only Yuri, but Sian is also possible."
"..."

At my words, Hornet's tightly locked lips slowly opened.

"...What do you want?"
"First, fill in the missing parts of this ledger."
"...And?"

He must have expected this much, as he quickly asked for the next condition.

"Bring the secret ledger of Nobody Corporation too."
"How can I do that...!"
"I'll tell you who might have it. Then try to get it yourself. How about it? Will you do it?"

Hornet's gaze went to me, then Sian, and finally to the phone.

The picture of Yuri in the phone was still explicit and beautiful.

"...I'll do it."

To be honest, I only threw out the Nobody Corporation's ledger in case, but.

I didn't know he would really say he would do it.

"Good."

Hornet and I shook hands, and Sian wiped my hand with her clothes, saying it was dirty.

She really hates Hornet.

And exactly 3 days later.

Hornet brought both ledgers, and I was able to complete 3 hidden quests at the same time by writing an article based on those ledgers.
