229) The Chaser(128)
“Kyaahhhhh!”
“Run away!”
The sound of the explosion was heard in the distance, and people started to run away screaming.
Too-ta-ta-ta-ta-!
Where there was an explosion, there was also a gunshot.
“Brother, this…”
“What kind of crazy people have appeared?”
At that sound, Yeon-joo and I looked at each other at the same time.
Since ancient times, the world was wide and there were many crazy people. Even if the ruling families held a tight grip on Red Town, madmen loyal to their desires were everywhere.
“Mister! What was that noise?!”
Hearing explosions and gunshots, Dokgo Mae and Dok Go Yoon ran out of the ice cream shop. Their eyes widened as if they were surprised by the sudden explosion.
“I can’t believe that monster then…”
“Uh, sister… Black!”
At the word “Monster,” Dok Go-yoon’s younger brother hugged him and began to weep. In the ruined Dokgo family, they were relentlessly pursued by human monsters and suffered a lot thanks to them.
It seems that what happened then has been left as a trauma.
“Yoona! It’s okay! Unni is here. I’ll protect you no matter what. So don’t worry.”
“Sister…”
Dokgo Mae hugged her younger brother, who was struggling with her trauma.
“Um…The little ones over there?”
Scratching my neck, I said to the two sisters who were filming a new wave.
“There’s no monsters there. They’re just criminals.”
“… Yes?”
“Really? Are there really no monsters?”
“That’s right. And Yoon, since I killed the monster you’re so afraid of, there’s no need to be so anxious. There’s no reason to be afraid of someone who’s already left behind, isn’t it?”
“Ah… Ah ah…”
“Yuna!”
“I’m fine, sister. It’s because my legs are weak.”
When I nodded, Dok Go-yoon sat down on the floor, perhaps feeling relieved. Dokgo Mae looked at her sister with her young eyes, worried.
‘Still, trauma doesn’t seem to go away so easily. I guess it’s okay because I’m here.’
I was the one who saved two sisters from being eaten by a human monster. Even that was not enough, so he even killed the human monster himself.
With me like that, Dokgo-yoon felt relieved that he was safe even if a monster that surpassed the human monster appeared.
However, this was not very good for Dokgoyun.
It is because the trauma disappeared because I was by my side, but it was not completely overcome. If an environment similar to the day he was being chased by a human monster is created anytime now, Dokgo-yoon will experience trauma again.
‘I’ll have to discuss this with him.’
I looked at Dokgo Mae holding Dokgoyoon. If Dokgo Mae allows her, she intends to sleep on her head without Dokgoyun’s knowledge.
Anyway, since these are the guys I saved, I should make sure to provide after-sales service.
Bang-! Bang bang bang-!
The gunfire continued.
“It’s a performance. I’m taking the kids into the store. Oh, should I say the opposite?”
The performance is also super talented. However, her level of psychic power is low, and above all, her psychic power is hypnosis, the effect of which is amplified only when accompanied by drugs.
So when I say go to a safe place, it is more appropriate to say it to Dokgo Mae, who is a body enhancer, rather than to the musician. Moreover, since Dokgo Mae is from the Dokgo family, she is good at fighting.
“Yes? Then what will you do?”
“I want to see what kind of crazy people are fucking. And if these bastards do weird things, I’ll give them a shot.”
“Ah…Then I’ll be waiting for you here.”
“Huh.”
After sending Yeonjoo and Dokgo sisters into the ice cream parlor, I headed towards the place where the loudest noise was reverberating.
“Reel?”
There, men armed with black bulletproof vests, full-face masks with skull drawings, and guns were moving in perfect order, as if special forces were carrying out operations.
It is correct that the operation is being carried out.
“… A child?”
It’s just that the operation is kidnapping.
Dare to try to kidnap a child in front of me, these guys must have really come out of the boat.
Besides, I hate kidnapping to the extreme. Because Rachel, the cutest daughter in the world, was kidnapped not once, not twice, but three times, just like in the Taken series.
That’s why even hearing the word ‘lead’ in kidnapping makes me shudder.
But I didn’t have to step out.
“Stop!”
It was because there were talented people who had the Hong family’s patterns engraved on their clothes, probably waiting nearby.
They will rescue the child who is being kidnapped in real time.
“How dare you do something like this in the realm of the Hong family! Do you think you guys will be safe even after doing that!”
“…”
The kidnappers turned to each other at the cry of the person in the forefront.
“Pu, puhahahaha!”
“The Hong family? Why? The Hong family is a sanctuary of some kind? If you guys manage it, can’t we do anything? Haha!”
And they laughed at the talented people of the Hong family. I couldn’t help but wonder at the sight.
“Why are you so proud?”
The powers of the Hong family are literally made up of people with powers and psychic powers. In contrast, only one of the kidnappers had psychic powers.
However, instead of being afraid of the talented, the kidnappers were busy laughing and ignoring them. What on earth do you believe in?
“This, these bastards… What are they doing! Arrest those scumbags right now!”
“Yes!”
Enraged at the kidnappers’ ridicule, the powerful tried to arrest them. Then, the only one among the kidnappers with supernatural powers shouted.
“If you interfere with us, the Hong family you are so proud of will be destroyed!”
“What? What nonsense are these crazy people talking about…”
“We are serving the great ruler of Red Town, Steel Armor!”
“… What?!”
At the words of the kidnapper, Steel Armor, that is to say, my subordinate, the powerful men of the Hong family were astonished.
“… What?!”
And I couldn’t help but be amazed.
No fuck, there were subordinates I didn’t even know about?! The only ones I can call my underlings in Red Town are the three goblins, aren’t they?
‘Are those guys subordinates? But they told you to kidnap the kid? Doesn’t that make sense?’
Those guys love kids as much as I do. Oh, I don’t mean pedophile. If they were pedophiles, they would have died at my hands first.
Anyway, if those guys were really underlings of the three goblins, they should have said they were underlings of the three goblins, not my underlings.
Of course, saying my name is much more effective.
“S-If it’s steel armor…”
“Captain! What should I do?”
“Ummm…”
Look at that. Aren’t the powerful men of the Hong family hesitating even though they haven’t been proven to be my subordinates?
Currently, I was the very symbol of fear in Red Town.
But just in case, I took out my cell phone and called Park Jang-dae, the eldest of the three goblins.
– Why didn’t the boss come and call?
“Hey, do you have any subordinates?”
-Eh? Load? What kind of subordinates are you talking about all of a sudden? Why? Send the kids?
“What? Do you really have subordinates?”
– No, my brothers.
“Ah~ so you don’t have subordinates?”
-I’ve lived with my younger siblings all my life, so what kind of underlings are they? Even though I was the leader of an alley when I was young, I never made a subordinate after growing up.
“You mean? I see.”
– But what happened…
Pop-!
Park Jang-dae said something, but he just hung up. Because he doesn’t have to explain to him word for word.
“The life of a celebrity is hard indeed.”
I took out a mask with a picture of a skull on it, the symbol of my steel armor, and jumped over the railing.
“Shouldn’t you bow your head in front of this skeleton right now!”
“Hook your head down. You should bow down, you self-proclaimed underlings.”
“Eww?!”
Coo-!
I got excited and fell in front of the kidnapper who was shouting at the powers of the Hong family. He was frightened as if he had met a ghost.
“S, steel armor!”
“You really were a subordinate of Steel Armor!”
“Ah, ah, ah…”
When I suddenly appeared, the powerful people of the Hong family, who were dubious, were in despair.
Even though the four family heads united and attacked me, they were unable to defeat me. Rather, one of the family heads, Baek Ki-won, even died.
Even though the four strongest players in Red Town had gathered.
I couldn’t defeat even those powerful family heads, but there was no way they would be my opponent. The talented people of the Hong family were well aware of this fact.
“… For what reason do you want to kidnap that child, Steel Armor?”
Still, as if there weren’t any manly men at all, one of the talented people spoke to me. The colleagues next to him tried to stop him, but the man didn’t care.
I shrugged my shoulders and said.
“I don’t know either.”
“…?”
“I don’t know why these bastards kidnap that kid, and why they have subordinates I don’t know.”
And I looked back at the kidnapper bastards who claimed to be my men.
“Let’s listen. Who are you, do you say you are my subordinates?”
“Hey, nice to meet you, Steel Armor! We usually respect and adore Steel Armor!”
One of the kidnappers groaned in front of me. I tilted my head to the side.
“No, can’t you hear me? Did I ask that? Who are you guys talking about as my underlings? You’re asking that.”
“That’s why…”
The long-tailed kidnapper, he was wasting his time.
Time for what?
“Now!”
Aaaaagh-!
“Wow?!”
“Kuk! Be careful everyone!”
“Whoaaaaah?!”
The moment the only psychic among the kidnappers shouted, the floor we were standing on exploded and we were sunk beneath. It’s not that the bomb was planted in advance.
While the kidnapper in front of me was wasting time, a psychic turned the entire floor into a bomb with psychic powers.
Weiyiing-!
Then, as if the hijackers had waited for the floor to explode and sink, they shot wires at the ceiling of the department store and climbed up.
I watched the hijackers climb up as they fell.
“Heh heh heh. Aren’t they very funny bastards?”
After laughing, I used telekinesis to follow the kidnappers upward.
