Episode 66
Episode 66: The Tiger’s Daughter (3)
After getting out of Chae Taewon’s car, I relaxed my wrists and ankles for a moment and lightly stretched, then put the skateboard I had brought with me on the ground.
There is no need for auxiliary jumping methods such as explosions.
[Fox’s agility]
[Invisible Hand]
A dazzling pattern of light began to appear on the black hoodie I was wearing. Because it is still a magic circle implemented with a focus on practicality rather than visibility or regularity, its form looks like randomly scattered messy graffiti or graffiti.
Magic has been completed to control posture and compensate for the lack of agility stats. I got on the board and stamped my feet cheerfully, and at the same time, the board started accelerating furiously.
And [leap].
A silver magic circle that looks like a crack was implemented on an ordinary-looking board. Without any other warning, the board flew into the air as if bouncing, and my body riding on the board also quietly cut through the cold night air and jumped over the high wall.
Whiik – tattat!!
The surrounding scenery changed rapidly.
Inside the wall that was frustratingly blocking the view, there was a neat, well-manicured garden that could only be found in an old house.
And three broad-shouldered men wearing black suits are looking at me with surprised expressions.
It looks like he forgot what to say for a moment… … Oh, you didn’t expect this guy to show up?
“Hey, I came through Vasilisa’s mediation. “Aren’t you going to give me directions?”
“W-what?”
An absurd sound came out of the mouth of one of the big guys. I’m not ready for this. The moment I was about to say something again, a bald gangster who seemed to have a slightly higher rank among the similar-looking guys started yelling at the subordinate who was making fun of his mouth.
“Oh, no, wait! Move!”
Then, with an awkward smile, he slightly bent towards me.
“I was waiting. “I’m a little surprised, so please understand.”
“Ah yes.”
“Please come this way.”
Without another word, I followed him, holding the still shining board at my side.
Cheongho’s house was a large and luxurious mansion whose size was difficult to guess.
But as messy as the situation is right now, the inside is… … It was a total mess.
First of all, a large decorative cabinet has collapsed.
It must have been a cabinet for storing dishes, but as expected, the dishes that had been stored inside the cabinet were spilled out and smashed to pieces.
Looking at the fragments, they are luxurious plates that appear to be used more for decoration or collection rather than for actual use.
And all the household items that were big enough to be thrown had lost their places and were scattered everywhere and broken.
The living room must have been spacious and filled with luxurious decorations, but it was a terrible sight, as if a crazy gorilla with about eight arms had run amok.
Outside the living room, past the mansion’s employees who were standing there helplessly, and entering the living room, I saw the figure of a madman in the center of the living room, in as much disarray as the living room itself.
He was wearing what could be called a formal attire anyway. A suit is a suit, although all his buttons are ripped and the sewing on his left shoulder is completely torn. Meanwhile, shoes were on his feet.
He looks like a crazy person, but anyway, that man in his early 50s is Cheongho, one of the three heads of the Triad.
It looks like a scuffle with kidnappers, but that is not the case. As if he had guessed what I was thinking, the big man who guided me came up to my ear and whispered.
“This was not done by a kidnapper, but by our chairman.”
“Are you saying that the person who destroyed the house and beat up the chairman was the chairman himself?”
“yes. You can’t control your anger… … .”
Well, it’s worth knowing. It seems that Cheong-ho, who had his daughter kidnapped in the middle of the mansion in broad daylight, could not understand the fact and went on a rampage.
“who is this?”
Cheongho roughly brushed up his scattered hair and looked this way.
Then, large scars across his forehead and eyes, which were covered by his hair, were revealed.
Now I can see that there are many long horizontal scars on the body under the torn shirt. It is an ugly scar that looks like stripes at first glance.
“This is the solution that came to me through Vasilisa’s mediation.”
The big man guiding me answered.
“Are you a wizard?”
“That’s right.”
“… … Oh, it’s going to spin. “Are you a proper guy?”
After seeing this reaction twice in a row, I started to miss the gentle and polite Chae Tae-won. While I was missing Chae Taewon, Cheongho slowly began to approach me, glaring at me with bloodshot eyes.
Ah, if I reacted incorrectly here, a crazy event would have occurred.
“Please stop.”
“what?”
“Aren’t you busy right now? “It’s not some old martial arts movie. Wouldn’t it be better to find your daughter quickly rather than attack me and waste time with tests?”
“her… … This bastard… … .”
But Cheongho did not stop. The air stings because of the menacingly raised magic power and life. I could even hear the sound of someone falling from behind. But it’s not at a level that can affect me.
I could stand there forever without any reaction, but it seemed like it would take another year. I had no choice but to slightly increase my magic power and slightly push away his magic power. At that moment, the blue blood vessels on Cheongho’s forehead twitched, and he began to increase his magical power in earnest.
‘It won’t work.’
I extended my magic power and influence in earnest and pushed it into the magic power rising from his body. I could completely twist his mana core like this… … Since I was the client, I politely created a wave that was opposite to his magic power and began to neutralize his rising magic power.
Magic control that moves like water without much effort or concentration. Although it is the other person’s magic power, not mine, I control the direction in which his magic moves with perfect sensitivity… … Ah, but this shit is also annoying.
Impulsively, I unleashed my magic power in an instant, grabbed his magic power, and twisted it.
“Aaaah!”
dump.
Cheongho turned pale and sat back down. Just by looking at his expression, it seems as if I had twisted his nose or groin rather than using magic power.
“What are you?!”
“As I introduced earlier, I am a wizard. And the problem solver came through Vasilisa’s mediation.”
“No, f*uck not that! “How did you just do that!”
“Oh really… … . I came here after hearing that the chairman’s family was kidnapped. “If I came to the wrong place, I’ll just go back.”
“Oh, no! for a moment! for a moment! Sorry! I’m sorry! Please help me find my daughter, our Hyuna! “I did you a disservice by going crazy over my daughter!”

I seriously thought about just going back or giving up completely, but I decided to hold out for the sake of future developments.
“If in the future you want to ask for more than what was proposed in the request, please pay the corresponding fee.”
“Oh, I get it, I get it! Please, I won’t do that again! I wish you all the best! Sorry!”
Cheongho was sitting on the floor and came towards me in a half-crooking position.
The sight of an elderly man, who is treated as a legend in his industry, rolling around on the floor and pleading with me… … Well, it’s refreshing and I don’t want to see it, but it’s kind of like that.
“Now that we’ve stopped begging, I’d like to talk about work.”
However, Cheong-ho was unable to get up quickly, and only after a brief commotion was he able to start a normal conversation while being supported by his subordinates.
No, saying it was a normal conversation was a hasty expression. It was only then that Cheong-ho began to speak incoherently, probably as if he had become urgent again.
“Please find my daughter! This is kidnapping! These damn bastards… … ! How could a child who was in his own room in broad daylight… … ! How could something like this happen! “There were over 40 people guarding it!!”
“Because I have no idea what you’re talking about… … .”
When I said that, Cheongho started hitting his own head.
puck! Puk puk puk! Sigh! Bah!
I didn’t suddenly start threatening self-harm. That’s the kind of personality he originally had. After beating himself up for a while, Cheongho was able to come up with some neat words.
“What do you want me to do for you? I’ll help you with anything. “If you ask me to appoint someone, I will appoint someone, and if you need a down payment, I will give you an upfront fee.”
“First, I want to see your daughter’s room.”
“Oh, I see. “Come this way.”
Cheongho’s daughter, Hyuna’s room was on the second floor. If I remember correctly, Hyuna was a high school student. And although the interior of her room seemed appropriate for her age, it was now quite a mess, although not as messy as Cheongho’s living room.
A particularly impressive part is the completely smashed window.
“What crime did my daughter, Hyuna, have to commit to suffer something like this?”
Well, the daughter is probably not guilty. But if she wasn’t Cheong-ho’s daughter, she wouldn’t have been kidnapped.
I slowly approached the window. Since this quest has a time limit, there are several fixed clues placed there compared to other quests, but the clues fluctuate randomly according to several patterns. Naturally, the culprit changes to a different person according to the change, and the location of the kidnapping also changes.
As if playing a room escape game, the player is set to deduce the location where Hyuna was kidnapped by collecting clues placed in the room within a limited time.
“First of all, it was the work of an insider.”
“what?”
It’s a trivial story, but the fragments of the shattered window are spilling outward, not inward. This means that an outside intruder did not break the window.
From now on, I could have shown a great mystery show by slowly revealing the clues one by one, but I thought it would be awkward, so I skipped it all and just said the conclusion.
“There are probably people who took advantage of the chaos and disappeared.”
“Unbelievable… … There’s a kidnapper among my men? “What on earth are they for?”
Umm… … That part is difficult to explain.
“Anyway, I will quickly find your daughter’s location using magic, so please wait a moment.”
You’ll find it with memory, not magic, but it’s quick in any form.
I picked up a piece of paper in a strange shape from among the items that fell on the floor. It was a piece of paper that looked like the cover of a book, but there was no book, just a single cover.
Luckily, it’s one of the closest kidnapping places.
“Has confirmed.”
“what? Where are you? “Just tell me the location and I’ll take care of the rest!”
Well, that’s also a way. If you get paid here and leave… … I am very comfortable, and Cheong-ho rushes in with his men, causing a commotion and running amok, and Jeong Hyeon-ah dies.
Then, the opportunity to gain the trust of Cheongho, which will help me in the long run, or a separate bonus based on mission performance, will also be lost.
I’m not here talking to Cheong-ho just because I want to make a few bucks and put up with my bad mood.
“There is nothing good about a lot of people moving. “Your daughter will become a hostage.”
“Oh, please… … ! “Then what on earth should I do?”
I briefly opened the quest window to check the remaining time.
[! Time limit: Hyunah Jeong dies after (2) hours. !]
“The request includes finding your daughter and bringing her to you safely, so I will bring her to you. “You just need to rent someone to drive the car.”
