261.Business Is Not Done With Words (9)
“Nunaa!”
“Shut this guy’s mouth!”
“Ahh! “This b*stard bit my hand!”
“Cub! “You just need to gag, you idiot!”
At the shout of the man with the eyepatch, the thin man picked up a nearby bundle of cloth and put it in Terry’s mouth. As soon as the wad of cloth was stuffed into my mouth, the room instantly became quiet.
The man wearing the eyepatch looked outside through the crack in the window with a nervous look on his face and sighed in relief.
“I don’t think anyone heard it.”
“Hey, can anyone come all the way here?”
“Damn. Things like this should be done as quietly as possible.”
“Oh yes.”
‘I kidnapped her, but how long will I have to keep her?’
I really want to leave this city, but it will be a few days before I get paid. Until then, I had to eat together with this noisy kid.
“Hey, kid. I’ll be able to go home in a few days, so it’s better to stay still. If we feel bad, they might punish us.”
“Bboobboobboob!”
“Hey, tie that guy to a pillar.”
“Yes, brother.”
The skinny man lifted Terry by the scruff of his neck, sat him on a nearby pole, and began wrapping him with a rope. He wiped the sweat from his thin, knotted forehead and asked the man wearing an eyepatch, just in case.
“Brother, isn’t it time to eat? “What should I do?”
“Buy it in moderation. This little one too. “I can’t starve at all.”
“I’ll be back quickly!”
The man with the blindfold took out five silver coins from his pocket and threw them at the skinny man. He snatched up the flying silver coins and left the building, humming.
‘Even if the leech gang hadn’t collapsed, I wouldn’t have accepted such trivial work.’
He recalled the organization he had worked for. A gang that dominated the back alleys of Calon City. However, starting from a certain transaction, the organization was destroyed by the security forces. And the years of hiding from the security guards.
A person who knew the location of the hideout and had occasionally done business with the gang since it was still alive gave them a new request.
Kidnap the kid who comes out of the small hole in the top wall of Dern. He lured her out with a child from the slums and succeeded in kidnapping her.
The client’s request was to take care of the little boy so that he wouldn’t get hurt, so all she had to do was feed him properly and keep him there. He pulled a nearby chair and sat down.
‘I guess I should take a nap.’
He began to enjoy a short, sweet nap.
—————-
“John! Help me!”
“…Sif? “How did you get in here?”
“That…That’s not important!” Terry! Terry has been kidnapped!”
At the shocking news that came out with a heavy sigh, I got up from my chair and approached the two people. Sif and Lulu, covered in dust, looked up at me with moist eyes as I approached.
“Keep calm and explain the situation calmly. “I can’t help you without an explanation.”
“Terry was kidnapped in the morning!”
“Terry? Suddenly? When?”
“I went to pick up my younger siblings for lunch today, but they weren’t at the dorm, so I went looking for them and met Lulu beyond the front door, and she said someone had taken Terry… “
“Huh.”
I don’t know who took him, but I think I know who instigated it. I gritted my teeth, remembering Gross and Adam. I never thought I would touch a child, but it turns out like this, right?
Should we give it a try?
“…Carina. I guess something happened.”
“John, is there anything I can help you with?”
“I hope you will continue to monitor the state of the Dern Upper State. “If he can’t get out of bed, things will get complicated.”
“I’ll help you too…”
“Thanks. Elisha. “Then can you take care of Lulu?”
“Yes, yes?”
“I need to protect this child from her her her her dawn coffin her her her her, so take care of her her. Lulu. She needs to stay with this sister while we come find Terry.”
Lulu nodded her head helplessly and hugged Elisa’s waist. Elisa looked down at her Lulu with her puzzled face, and she stroked her Lulu’s head as she buried her face in her stomach.
First of all, I wonder what happened over there.
So now we have to find Terry…
“Lulu. “Can you explain in detail the circumstances under which Terry was kidnapped?”
“Well…”
Lulu’s tearful explanation was as follows. While playing in the yard in front of their accommodation, the two discovered a hole they had never seen before, and Tommy appeared through the hole. Tommy tempted me to go outside through a secret passage and have a little fun.
As she followed her, a skinny man with a skull tattoo on his right arm snatched Terri up and kidnapped her.
Teri escaped her her wrath her her by sneaking into the crowd while her her her her Lulu her her her her was making a fuss in her man’s arms her her her to get her to run away . And then he ran to her front door and met Sif.
“It was a planned kidnapping.”
“Why my younger brother…”
“Adam or Gross… Maybe both…”
I can roughly imagine the intention. The plan is to gulp down the top of Dern while my attention is diverted.
It’s a little sloppy, but if you kick out all the Dern merchants and even deal with Bedin, there’s nothing the Dern merchants can do even if they go back.
If there is no evidence for kidnapping, just arrest them.
Although it was dirty, it was not a bad strategy to tie up one’s feet. There’s no way they don’t know that Sif and I have a pretty close relationship, and if we take them hostage, Sif and I won’t be able to move freely.
But…
If you think you can stop me with that, you are mistaken.
“I think I need to teach you what happens when you make someone angry.”
“Well, is there a way?”
“What did you think Tommy was getting for his cooperation in kidnapping Terry?”
There is no way that a person who betrayed people with money would not betray them with even more money.
“Wait a moment. “I’ll have you hand over Terry on your own.”
—————————
“What is this?”
“I guess they’re looking for someone.”
“They say they’ll give 500 gold coins to anyone who finds or brings this kid back?”
“500?!”
“That’s enough money to live on for the rest of your life!”
“You mean we just have to find that kid?”
“The kidnapper is a thin man who looks to be in his mid-20s … I heard he has a skull tattoo on his forearm?”
Unconventional news posted on posters on the exterior walls and posters of buildings was constantly on people’s lips.
A poster offering a reward of 500 gold coins just to find the person. At the sight of such a large amount of money that they could not easily touch it, people turned on their eyes and started looking for the person depicted on the poster.
‘Fuck, what is that! They say it’s easy!’
And those who read the poster included the kidnapper himself.
People’s voices can be heard behind him as he freezes in front of the poster.
“Isn’t that person similar to the kidnapper written on the poster?”
“That’s what I heard?”
Gaze.
Gaze.
Gaze.
Gaze.
Countless eyes are focused on his whole body
How do you appear to those people?
The skinny guy gave up thinking.
Because I was keenly aware that there would never be a pleasant answer.
‘I have to deliver the news to my brother quickly!’
Now that it was like this, I had to leave this place as quickly as possible. The people here are just looking at themselves with blank expressions, but the slums they are hiding in…
…Because they will be ready to sell them at any time.
‘Damn, damn, damn!’
I run frantically towards the slums. And people sensed a suspicious atmosphere on his back.
“Doesn’t that guy look similar to the guy written on the poster?”
“I saw it running away. Could it be real?”
As I heard the conversation in the crowd, all people’s eyes were focused on the skinny guy. The gaze that he seems to be looking at something to eat pierces my back like an arrow.
The skinny guy who turned into a hedgehog started running down the alley, avoiding the people who started chasing him with a scared face.
——————–
“Now you won’t be able to care about us for a while.”
“Okay… “
Gross looked at Adam with a very uncomfortable expression. It was because I was reluctant to see the man in front of me who came up with a crazy strategy to attract attention by kidnapping a child.
But since we are already in the same boat, we cannot part ways. Gross asked Adam while smoothing the teacup.
“What are we going to do now?”
“Those who will be ours should be brought in, and those who are not should be kicked out. We need to thin them out as quickly as possible and take control of the inside.”
“We have to kick out the Bedin group first.”
“Please take care of that, Mr. Gross. “Didn’t you always dislike it?”
“The car will be there soon. “The last car of my life.”
The two people looked at each other with smiles on their lips, but their eyes did not smile.
If the Dern upper lord failed to return and even Bedin was expelled, it was now time to bite each other’s necks.
“As expected, it’s Mr. Gross.”
“Why do you paint my face with gold when you are so formidable?”
“Then slowly… “
“Can I speak a little bit?”
“Who are you!?”
Adam and Gross’ heads turned in the direction from which the voice was heard.
A person came into the field of vision of the two people. I don’t know when he came in, but the man who had been leaning against the window walked leisurely and sat down on the sofa.
“It’s been a while. That’s the first meeting.”
“How did we get here…”
“It’s not the time to talk about such trivial things.”
The man, Johan Quartz, floated a ball of fire the size of a ping-pong ball on his finger and rotated it.
Cold sweat began to pour down the backs of the two people due to the heat that could be felt even from a considerable distance.
“It seems like you were telling an interesting story… Because I also like chatting. “It’s going to be a bit tight.”
