Chapter 545 – Abduction 48) Crying and Crying
48) I cried and cried again
It’s already been a month since I walked the streets with my young hero. I knew it from the beginning, but after walking around the night streets of Dark City with Young Hero, I realized again that there are really many villains.
What kind of bastards are there in every back alley? Are they really human cockroaches?
Still, thanks to this, many people in danger were saved, and the young hero was able to accumulate a lot of experience.
Certainly, unlike the (?) Villains raised on a bug farm, wild Villains were strong. Young heroes sometimes won and sometimes lost. Still, if Young Hero seemed to be in danger, he was immediately involved. Thanks to my intervention, he was never seriously injured or his life was in danger.
“Bitter… I’m sorry. I couldn’t last there.”
“No. You had multiple enemies. I should have stopped the others from attacking you. This is my fault.”
On the day they lost to the villain, the young heroes gathered in one place and passionately discussed what mistakes they made and what should have been done in such a situation.
Oh my God… To tell each other that they were wrong…! Shit! Aren’t these guys so nice! It’s different from lol! If you lose there, you start by blaming others, but our kids say they did it wrong!
I’m not saying this because my daughter and her friends are real, but young heroes are truly talented and kind-hearted.
-Boss. I found out about what you asked me to find out the other day.
Anyway, then I got a call from Jungbo. I was told to investigate the past of Rachel’s best friend Laura, but the investigation is over.
So he headed to the hideout of the Skull Head group to give him a reward for the first time in a while.
Sparkle!
“Kuh! It’s too bright!”
Even though it was broad daylight, the hideout was very bright. It’s like having hundreds of lights on all over the place.
“The ruined pups! Why are these guys like bald?!”
The reason why hideout was so dazzling was because of the Skull Head members. One of the conditions for joining the Skull Head was to shave their heads and get a tattoo of a skull on their crown, so the hideout was full of them.
“Voluntary baldness… You really don’t understand?”
Shaving your own hair when there are people whose hair is more precious than gold. From my point of view, I couldn’t fully understand the mental world of the Skull Head members. (?: Boss?)
Anyway, I went upstairs to hear about Laura’s past from the mediator. Because I erased my presence with the power of chaos, no one stopped me.
“Jungbo, hyung is here!”
“Ah, welcome boss.”
Jungbo, who was sitting in a chair and checking documents, got up and greeted me. I burst into laughter at the sight and patted him on the shoulder.
“Hiya~ So you really do look like the CEO of some kind of conglomerate? Cool!”
“The boss. I’m still lacking a lot. Rather, thanks to the help of the boss’s wives, I’ve been able to protect the Skull Head until now. All I’ve done is very trivial.”
“You don’t have to be so humble. The boss of the notorious Skull Head needs to be a bit arrogant.”
“The boss of the Skull Head is only the boss, not me. And I can’t be arrogant in front of the boss, can I?”
Haha! That’s right! Anyway, you found out about Laura’s past?”
“Yes. Here you are.”
Intercessor took a piece of paper from his desk and handed it to me.
‘Huh?’
Seeing Jungbo’s face, I tilted my head. His complexion was dark and he seemed a little angry. What’s going on?
I decided to ask about it later… I checked the documents.
-Laura Histel-
Gender: Female
Age: 14
Family Relations: Boo – Halo Histel (deceased), Mo – Linda Histel (deceased)
.
.
.
“Ummm…”
Checking the paper, I drool. Laura’s parents are dead and she knows what happened to Laura in the past.
‘This is why he got angry when the topic of heroes came out.’
Laura’s parents lost their lives in a battle between heroes and villains in the past. To be precise, he was seriously injured.
‘Help! Mom and Dad are in danger!’
‘Mistress bother… Ask others. ‘Cause I’m tired.’
‘…!’
At the time, the heroes who defeated the villains bitterly refused Laura’s request to help her parents. Only the fallen villains were captured and disappeared.
“These bastards!”
A hero isn’t just someone who takes down villains. It was the role of the hero to protect the citizens. However, the heroes left behind the people who had fallen in front of them.
An ambulance arrived late and treated Laura’s parents, but unfortunately she could not save her life. The incident shocked Laura and made her distrust and hate the hero.
‘But the reason why I entered the Hero Academy… Is it for revenge?’
Despite her hatred of her hero, Laura was accepted into the Hero Academy. She wondered if it was to get revenge on her heroes for killing her parents.
‘Oh, isn’t that right?’
But that was my mistake.
It was a very difficult world for a young girl with no relatives to live alone. Entering Hero Academy provided good dorms and good quality meals every day.
The reason Laura entered the Hero Academy was really simple. She suppressed her rage because a little girl just wanted to live, and she entered the Hero Academy.
‘Oh, Laura…’
Laura’s story was so bizarre that she nearly burst into tears before her intercession. Her heart thumped. Why did she have to go through something that even an adult could not bear?
‘This is what the mediation is like.’
It was clear that Intercession had also seen Laura’s past. That’s why his complexion was so dark and angry.
“Here’s this hero baby, where are you now?”
“They are missing.”
“Missing? Why?”
“They say that since the boss saved the world three years ago, his actions have become obscure.”
“… 3 years ago? Holy shit.”
After shoving Cthulhu into the black hole, I used my chaotic powers to bring back all the dead that day. And he killed the monsters who received parts of Cthulhu and became his followers.
That is, if it went missing three years ago, it means that it is dead.
In conclusion, it’s like I took the place of Laura’s revenge… But it wasn’t very refreshing. People like that deserve to die painfully.
‘Uh?’
While checking Laura’s past, I saw something and my eyes lit up. This… Happened just fine.
“Anyway, I had a hard time figuring this out.”
“There was no suffering whatsoever.”
“Take care of yourself with this. Your face has become half.”
“Yes? No need to…”
“Uh-huh! I just say thank you and receive what the boss gives me.”
Taking out a wad of money from my inventory, I forced Jungbo to leave it and came out.
*****
“Really? Boss?”
“Is that so?”
‘Huh?’
As I was leaving the hideout, I heard the members talking in my ears. I didn’t know what they were talking about, but when the word ‘boss’ came up, I couldn’t ignore it.
The current Skull Head members did not know that I had returned. So, the boss they were talking about meant the mediator, not me.
“Aren’t they crazy? There’s no one to scam the boss’s mother…”
‘Fraud?’
“They’re really crazy. But where are these crazy people going to scam people? And what are the old people? They say they’re vulnerable to bo-bo-pussy phishing.”
“Crazy bastard, it’s not pussy phishing, it’s voice phishing.”
“That or that.”
“Because it’s completely different?”
‘Voice phishing?’
Listening to what the members said, it seemed that Jungbo’s mother had been victimized by voice phishing. I wondered why Joongbo was so dead… It wasn’t because of Laura, but because of her mother?
“But that sucks? How dare you cheat on the boss’s mother? We can’t just leave those bastards alone!”
“That’s right. But they say it’s difficult to pursue them because they’re so careful. The damage is serious because of them, so the police and the Hero Association are chasing them, but it doesn’t seem easy.”
“What the fuck…”
“…”
After overhearing the crowd talking, I quietly left the spot. Are you saying that the swindlers dared to make our intercession difficult?
*****
“Is Laura having a hard time?”
“Huh? Ah, no. This much is fine.”
As Rachel looked at herself anxiously, Laura shook her head. It was honestly hard for her to walk around for over 3 hours, but she didn’t want to show it.
“Don’t you have anything to buy? I’ll buy it for you!”
“No, I’m fine. You don’t really need anything?”
Currently, Rachel and Laura are walking around the department store, happily swiping cards and shopping. Of course, Rachel was the only one enjoying the shopping, and Laura didn’t buy anything.
Laura was poor, but that didn’t mean she didn’t have money at all.
Hero Academy pays 100 dollars every month to each trainee as a maintenance fee. It might have been a small amount of money to the other students, but to Laura it was a lot of money.
That’s why Laura didn’t waste the money unless it was absolutely necessary, and she was collecting it one by one.
‘I have to pay for living expenses.’
But there was a place to spend that money. It was intended to be given to Rachel’s parents for her living expenses. How can a man stay at a friend’s house with his bare mouth when he is shameless? Hero Academy’s vacation lasted two months.
No matter how much money Rachel’s parents had, she didn’t think it was polite.
Anyway, if she said that she would pay for her living expenses, she couldn’t use the money recklessly. Besides, she had to buy fruit to feed Apple and Mango. Shopping was a luxury for Laura.
“Do you have anything Laura wants? I’ll get you!”
“Oh, no! Really, I’m fine. I’ll take your heart.”
“Huh…”
When she refused again, Rachel pursed her lips in disappointment. Seeing that, Laura felt sorry for Rachel.
“Let’s go home now!”
“Huh.”
After walking around the department store for an hour or more, the shopping was over. It was already dark after walking around for 4 hours.
So let’s go back home…
Pop-! Pop-! Puff-!
“…”
Suddenly, fireworks exploded right in front of her eyes. Surprised, Laura clinked her eyes.
“Happy birthday~ Happy birthday~ Our dear Laura~ Happy birthday~!”
I heard the happy birthday song. Kai was holding a cake with 5 candles on it, and behind him were the Dark Knight, Emily, and Young Hero friends.
Hee hee! Happy birthday Laura.”
“Hey, Rachel…”
Rachel hugged Laura from behind. Rachel, who had been laughing brightly, suddenly pursed her lips and grumbled.
“Why didn’t you tell me today is your birthday? I almost skipped over this year!”
“That, that’s…”
“Sister! Turn off the candles quickly!”
“…”
Kai handed Laura a cake. Laura stared blankly, unable to blow out her candle.
“… Black!”
And she started to cry. Tears – Tears flowed.
“Oh, you idiot. Why are you crying?”
Hannah came over and wiped Laura’s tears with her handkerchief. She then held out the gift she was holding in her hand to Laura.
“Happy birthday friend.”
“Hey, it’s Hannah…”
“Don’t cry, you idiot.”
Hannah’s face was also red, as if she was ashamed to say these things herself. Hannah, who had stroked Laura’s cheek, placed a present in her hand.
“Happy birthday!”
“Happy birthday Laura.”
Other friends also gave Laura gifts. Laura’s hand was full of presents.
“Hee hee! I prepared the most presents!”
Rachel said behind her, holding up the gift bags she was holding in both hands. She walked around the department store for four hours, and everything Rachel bought was a gift from Laura.
“I-I…”
“It’s Laura.”
“Ah, mister…”
“Happy birthday. And did I tell you? You can always lean on me when you’re having a hard time. Although you’re lacking a lot… If you allow it, I’d like to be your father. Can you be my daughter?”
“Uh, uh… Uhhhhh!”
Those warm words made Laura finally burst into tears. They were the first people to love her this much since her parents, whom she could no longer see.
Laura cried and cried.
