Chapter 169 – Chapter 169
Moontown… This is my first time coming here.
I knew that Baek Hwa-yeon’s family situation was not good, but I could never have imagined that she would live in a place like this.
It was this year that she started earning her money.
She’s only been about six months now, so even though she’s a well-earned Awakener, maybe she’s not ready to move out yet?
Even so, at the same time as she entered the academy, the government subsidy would have come out regularly every month, as well as tuition, but she suddenly became interested in what happened.
“Mr. Jeong-Hyuk. Did Baek Hwa-Yeon have any problems? Why is the Awakened in a place like this… The money paid by our company is enough to move to a proper place nearby… You don’t have to buy a building. There is no, right? There is a charter and a monthly rent.”
“How do I even know that personal history? I just heard that someone in my family is sick.”
“Why are you angry with me. I’m worried about you…”
“Okay, so please be quiet.”
It didn’t even rain today, but the narrow alley was very dark and damp.
Now that the rainy season has ended and the hot summer has begun.
When the discomfort index was high, I was confused about what had happened to Baek Hwa-yeon, and I took my anger out on Hong Eun-young for no reason.
“Is this right?”
“… Yes.”
It wasn’t a banjiha, but it was an old house that looked like it was going to collapse any minute.
The bell was broken and I knocked on the door several times, but I couldn’t feel anyone inside.
The same goes for maximizing your hearing.
In a hurry, I lightly jumped over the iron door, where the paint was mostly peeling off.
It is not difficult to overcome such a low wall because Hong Eun-young is of course, and her magic power is also F-1.
“Bo, don’t look.”
Hong Eun-yeong, who was wearing her short skirt, rolled up, revealing her pantyhose and her underwear.
I’ve seen it, but do you think it’s a situation that will catch your eye now?
“I’ll put up with the nonsense just this once. It looks like no one’s here anymore, so don’t make a mess and look for traces carefully. Footprints or something suspicious are fine.”
Peeping inside through the window, I quickly realized that no one was there.
At least it was fortunate that there was no body.
It is rather reassuring to think that even her family was abducted as a group.
As long as she’s alive, she’ll be able to get her back somehow.
I quickly changed my mind.
If they moved as expected, they couldn’t have left clues stupidly.
Even if there is, what we can do as non-professionals who only know how to use strength is limited.
Of course, all you need is an expert.
It is also a law that requires the best talent in the country.
I immediately contacted the secretary of Tsinghua University and asked for help.
There’s no way they can easily move on to other people’s affairs, but there is a way to do that.
– Yes? Is it really?
“Probably has something to do with the kidnapping of the president.”
– All right. I’ll send someone there right away.
“And please quickly secure the CCTV around here. Everything from now until two weeks ago.”
– I’ll call the police right away.
“Can I check it myself?”
– Of course. Junghyeok Kang Transcendentalist. Aren’t we already on one side? Park Yu-ri’s rescue was also helpful… Oh, how is Park Yu-ri?
“My spirit hasn’t returned yet, but I’m alive and well. Na Hyeon-hee will be with me now, so nothing big will happen.”
After finishing the call, I headed straight to the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency.
The CCTV I wanted to check was secured while I was moving, and even the police officer in charge came to meet me and kindly guided me.
However, it was very difficult to find traces.
I checked the video, but there was nothing left from 12 days ago.
All the security cameras in the area were destroyed by someone.
In the meantime, there have been several reports received, but I only heard that it has not been restored yet, perhaps because it is in a moonlit area.
They said they would secure the black boxes of cars parked nearby, but they’re meticulous, so they won’t be caught easily.
Too much time has passed.
“Please wait. The district unit will contact you soon.”
I wonder if the police have their own thoughts, but this wasn’t the end of everything.
Through several phone calls, it was possible to talk to people related to Baek Hwa-yeon’s family.
The fact that I learned that way is that the whereabouts of Baek Hwa-yeon’s family have been unknown since about ten days ago.
There were even voices saying that he had won the lottery and escaped at night.
They said there was money to be received, but it disappeared.
The person in debt was Baek Hwa-yeon’s father.
The moment she heard that she liked to gamble, I knew roughly why her family was like that.
She even said that Baek Hwa-yeon had enrolled in her academy and that she had borrowed money from various places under the pretext of getting a job as an awakened person.
Her mother, as she had been told, was lying in her house, immobilized by her chronic disease.
A sigh burst out at the behavior of the father.
Having left my parents at an early age, I was envious of others just for having a family.
But when I heard about the family situation, I changed my mind.
Even if you cross the line, it seems like you’ve crossed a long way.
When I thought that Baek Hwa-yeon would have been responsible for not only her sick mother but also her little brother who was still in high school, I felt very frustrated.
How much pain that quiet and kind guy must have suffered…
I don’t know what kind of guys they are, but it’s better to be prepared.
A soft hand rose above my clenched, trembling fist.
Startled, I widened my eyes and turned my head toward the owner of the hand.
The veggies were.
“You’re right. He…They might be a little different… From what I thought.”
“I’m glad you know now.”
Can I trust this guy now?
Oh, now is not the time to worry about things like this.
Her lack of power right now doesn’t mean she has any trouble dealing with her enemies.
Returning all of her mana is a little later.
Hong Eun-young, who had been quiet the whole time after being scolded by me, opened her mouth.
“What are you going to do now? I don’t even have a clue to track them down right now.”
“First of all, we need to check what happened while we were in the dungeon. We need to figure out the identities of the Transcendentalists who are said to be next to Congressman Na Il-pyo.
“… I just need to know. Chi…”
Seeing that they have not been negotiating this time, such as asking for an award, Hong Eun-young seems to have finally understood the seriousness of the situation.
I don’t know why you pretend to be cute at the end.
Anyway, even after mobilizing the police force, I couldn’t find a clue to pursue them right away.
It will take some time to investigate.
Please, if you can find anything, I would be grateful.
While I was away, I was in a hurry on the way back because they might be tricking Park Yu-ri or maybe Kim I-sol and Lee Dong-geul.
I was in a hurry and tried to call and check.
And sure enough.
Eventually things exploded.
Rather, the senior contacted me first.
– Jung Hyuk, come quickly.
“What’s the matter? Has anyone come?
– No, Na Hyun-hee…
Na Hyun-hee, this fucking bitch.
When I said there was a doubt, it seems that the work has been opened in the end.
“Why. What did she do!?”
“What happen?”
“It looks like something happened. I need to go as soon as possible.”
“Ah, okay.”
Hong Eun-young, who was driving, increased her speed as much as possible.
Over the phone, the senior urgently raised his voice.
-She said that at first she only checked for a moment, but suddenly she said that she would take Yuri Park herself.
“Are you talking about Na Hyun-hee?”
– Okay.
“What about the others?”
– Anyone else? Right now, Lee Sol is blocking it. But Yuri Park is threatening her with her sword at her throat. If she doesn’t let herself go, he’ll kill her right here.
“Has she and someone on her side come? She is her husband, or some other transcendental being…
– She’s still alone.
I ordered Chae Min-woo before leaving the house.
Wait by the window on the 3rd floor and tell me to call me immediately if a suspicious person or vehicle approaches the house.
Seeing that he is still quiet, it becomes the voice that Na Hyun-hee was the only one who made everything up.
At least not yet.
“It doesn’t matter if Mr. Park Yu-ri dies. Never let Na Hyun-hee go. No matter what means she uses.”
Na Hyun-hee’s magical power is still only S-2.
I couldn’t trust her, so I was rejecting her request to raise her magical power.
On the other hand, Kim Isol is S-10.
Although she may fall far behind Na Hyun-hee in terms of the operation of her unique skills and experience, she will be able to handle it with this level of magic attribute difference.
Besides, the cheat key, moving text, is attached to the side.
If I hadn’t believed in their abilities, I wouldn’t have acted this way in the first place.
Unsurprisingly, Hong Eun-young, who was completely unaware of this fact, asked in a very worried voice.
“Are you okay?”
“It’s okay. Na Hyeon-hee is one.”
“Then…”
“Please move as quickly as possible in case other helpers appear.”
“Ah, I get it.”
We hurriedly headed home while listening to the situation in real time without hanging up on the phone with our senior.
Hyunhee Na…
She had already felt sorry for her husband of that year, but in the future she felt even more sorry.
I’ll make you deeply regret who you did this to.
