Chapter 144

“Hello?”

Lee Yu-ri answered the phone with a trembling voice.

─ Is it Yuri? What’s going on? You were surprised when strange people suddenly came to you. Did you have any accident?

“Oh, Mom! “Why aren’t you answering the phone!!!”

─ Wow, it’s noisy. Why are you yelling? Mom, I know you don’t look at your phone when you’re working!

“Oh, what about Dad? “Is your dad there too?”

─ Yes, we are together. But what on earth is going on? Something really happened, right?

Stumbled.

For a moment, Lee Yu-ri’s legs went limp.

Her Jin Yuha supported her from behind.

Yu-ri Lee’s mother and her father were safe.

It’s just that she rarely looked at her cell phone while working, so she was out of contact for a while.

It was truly fortunate that we were able to confirm their safety with just a light background check on Shin Se-hee.

‘However, the locations of the younger siblings have not yet been confirmed…’

Yuri Lee bit her lip again.

*

“Well, I brought in an expert in that field.”

Right after Shin Se-hee’s contact, Kang Do-hee came to visit with a person.

An unsavory middle-aged man wearing round glasses who looks somewhat timid.

“Oh, hello…How are you…? I, I have analytical skills… “I’m working as an awakened person, huh, not a hunter, but a detective.”

He spoke with his head down, unable to meet his eyes.

When Kang Do-hee looked at him as if asking if this man was really him, she clicked her tongue.

“Tsk, this is probably more accurate than the police. I too have been in trouble a few times. “I had a hard time bringing him in because he really hated going outside.”

“······Thank you, Kang Do-hee.”

Lee Yu-ri expressed her gratitude with a suppressed voice.

Then Kang Do-hee scratched his cheek as if he was embarrassed.

“He is a tank who always takes the most dangerous attacks in front of us. “I guess I can repay some of that debt through this.”

I looked slightly surprised by her words. Because I didn’t know Kang Do-hee would say something like this.

“······Well, what are you looking at!”

Kang Do-hee must have noticed my gaze and scolded me.

“No, I just wanted you to say something like that.”

Keuhum─!

“I’m going to go to the police now. “I spent too much time bringing this person out.”

Kang Do-hee turned his back on the road and kicked her foot.

It looks like he wants to go directly to the police and request an investigation.

“Well, can you see the scene?”

At that time, the man fidgeting next to me spoke in a slurred voice.

“Ah, yes. “This way.”

I guided him to Yuri Lee’s room.

As expected from the person Kang Do-hee vouched for, his eyes changed as soon as he entered the scene of the incident. After scanning the room, he slowly opened his mouth.

He spoke in a hard and static voice, not the slurred voice that appeared at first.

“Hmm, four hunters and two children.”

“······Child?”

“Yes, there are traces of a girl who is approximately 150 cm tall and a boy who is approximately 140 cm tall. And it moved in the same direction as those four hunters.”

Paddeuk─

As soon as I heard that story, I heard the sound of teeth grinding next to me.

‘Kim Hye-ji, you crossed the line.’

“But the hunters and the children did not go together, but separately.”

“Where is it?”@@novelbin@@

The detective tried to explain further, but the words did not reach Yu-ri Lee, who had already rolled her eyes.

I just accepted it as the fact that Kim Hye-ji kidnapped her two younger siblings.

“······Kim Hye-ji, that f*cking b*tch. “Where did you go?”

The detective had no choice but to keep her mouth shut due to the bloody force that Yu-ri Lee was emitting.

She then returned to her stuttering form again.

“Oh, well, it doesn’t seem like it went that far… Well, do you have a map? Joe, if it’s made of paper, that’s fine, but…”

“Oh, I have a separate paper map!”

Sofia, who was listening next to me, took out a paper map from her arms.

‘Why do you carry a paper map?’

Let’s look at her with that meaning in mind.

Sophia scratched her head.

“hehehe, if the battery runs out while figuring out your favorite route… Oh no, it’s just a hobby! Yep! Personally, I like looking at maps!”

It seemed very suspicious, but that’s not what’s important right now.

Choak─

The detective spread the map on the floor.

She then added her magical powers on top of it.

Wow─

Then she took a coin out of her pocket and flipped it.

Whispering!

The coin circulated in the air and landed on the map.

Good.

The coin that was thrown was stuck vertically near Lee Yu-ri’s house.

“Hmm, it’s around here. “Is there any hiding place around here?”

Yuri Lee, who was looking at the map closely, opened her mouth quietly.

“······There is an abandoned factory.”

“Then, there is a high probability that it will be there.”

Flames sprang from Yu-ri Lee’s eyes as she clenched her fists.

‘Kim Hye-ji, you f*cking b*tch, if you do anything to my younger siblings, know that you will be punished.’

* * *

It was daytime, but it was a dark abandoned factory with little light coming in.

There, four women were chain-smoking anxiously.

One of them, a woman, was sucking on her cigarette and throwing it down on the floor in frustration.

“Hey, f*ck Hyeji! I heard there must be something in that corner of the house! “It was just dog hair!!”

They robbed Lee Yu-ri’s house today.

It was a planned crime after confirming that no one was home.

“Oh, try saying something! Hyeji Kim!!”

A woman with an evil face scolded.

Then the short-haired woman called Kim Hye-ji spoke in a rather irritated voice.

“Oh, shut up! ·····Lee Yuri, that stupid b*tch, it’s clear that she earned all the money she earned this time and took it all home to give it away, but where did she get it all? “I’m sure he must have kept it somewhere…”

“f*ck you, there was nothing! I wonder if I stung the hive for no reason! “It’s a utopia party!”

Then Kim Hye-ji looked at them with pitiful eyes.

“Hey, do you believe that?”

“What? Ha, but the article clearly states…”

“Ha, well, Yuri Lee can be listed as a Utopia party member. “That must be true.”

Then isn’t it dangerous?

The gathered women exchanged glances.

“But what can he do by going in there? “Why would the scum that was running around E-class dungeons with me just a few months ago carry a shield when Cheonhwa and the fighting dog are there?”

“······Then, why is he in there?”

“He must be that poor person again.”

“······Poor arm?”

“Well, first of all, the face is even and smooth. The image of a girl who takes responsibility for her family is also good for selling the story.”

Then the three women nodded slowly.

Because her opinion seemed quite plausible!

“Ha, f*ck. “Is being poor something to be proud of?”

“I haven’t really liked that guy since a long time ago.”

“I admit it, I really should have stepped on you when I was in school.”

All of their voices were filled with jealousy.

All of those gathered here were Yuri Lee’s high school classmates.

Of course, during her school days, she used the fact that Yu-ri Lee was poor as a weakness and showed up in front of her and then unilaterally kicked her out.

I’ve already forgotten about that past for a long time.

When the atmosphere was set again, Kim Hye-ji nodded her head.

“Anyway, what are the high-ranking people thinking? If I suck at all the stories and it becomes reasonably popular, I’ll throw it away. “Is there any reason to keep dragging that bastard?”

“······But, doesn’t that mean that Lee Yu-ri is of some use in Utopia now? At this rate, if the Utopia party tracks us…”

One of the women spoke in an anxious voice, but Kim Hye-ji just burst into laughter.

“Ha, is he? “That will never happen.”

Kim Hye-ji had known Yu-ri Lee for a very long time, so she knew her personality well.

‘On the topic of a beggar with no money… ‘I really didn’t like the idea of always pretending to be something great.’

Unbeknownst to her, the girl she thought was beneath her suddenly got accepted to the Velvet Hunter Academy.

That wasn’t enough for her. She was so upset when she heard that she was going to join the Utopia party.

In the first place, she is a b*tch who hates causing trouble to others or revealing her weaknesses to the public rather than dying.

A b*tch like that would tell Utopia that her crappy house had been burgled, or report it to the police? Something that can never happen.

So it was today.

From noble mtl dot com

If you mess with her surroundings while she is staying at the academy, Velvet Academy will come forward.

It’s really not a joke, it’s a dangerous thing that could end your life.

But today, during vacation at the academy, was different.

‘So, I was planning to steal some of the wealth that was piled up in that woman’s house…’

However, there were three things she didn’t expect…

One is that all the money deposited into Yu-ri Lee’s family went directly to repaying debts, so there was no wealth left in her family.

Second, the house was in the same shape, and even her family could not be contacted, so there was currently no one to see Yu-ri Lee.

Thirdly, there was a boy and girl who followed them.

“······Hey, Hyeji. But what is that little guy?”

“Little one?”

“Ugh, that kid is hiding behind the pillar over there, staring at us. That······. “What, I look exactly the same as Yuri Lee?”

At that moment, Kim Hye-ji turned her head and her eyes grew as big as a flower lantern.

“······Why?”

The words that came out of her mouth.

Then. Perhaps because she thought she had been caught, I slowly walked out from behind her pillar.

“······Hyeji, it’s been a while.”

Reason I said in a stern voice, hiding her younger brother behind her.

“Oh my, it’s Yuna! How long has it been since this? “It’s been so long!”

They once worked as Yu-ri Lee’s team.

Kim Hye-ji is a dealer and Lee Yu-na is a porter.

Kim Hye-ji pretended to be quiet and spoke to her in a friendly, friendly voice.

“But what’s going on here?”

“······Why did you make our house like that?”

“What? Suddenly, uh, what do you mean?”

Then Kim Hye-ji and her group stiffened her face.

She never thought that she would have witnessed everything that happened at home and followed her here!

“Hey, I heard no one saw it!!!”

“Boo, obviously no one saw it…!?”

“If I catch this from Lee Yu-ri, won’t I die?”

The group spoke gibberish with clearly embarrassed faces.

Kim Hye-ji also swallowed her saliva and looked at me.

“She has no idea what you’re talking about?”

“I saw everything. Hyeji and her sisters destroyed our house… Running away. “Why did you do that?”

It seems like Lee Yu-na already knows everything about her.

Kim Hye-ji’s face suddenly became cold.

“Ha, Lee Yu-na. You’ve grown a lot? “In the beginning, you couldn’t even make a noise in front of me…”

“It’s the growth period, so it’s when you’re at your peak. “So, what happened to my house?”

“······.”

“It’s the same thing with my sister who ran away with money last time. “Do you have any ill feelings towards us?”

Kim Hye-ji had the same face as Lee Yu-ri, and I really didn’t like those staring eyes.

Clear eyes, as if there were no doubts about her beliefs and thoughts.

Hyeji Kim bit her lip without realizing it.

“By any chance, Hyeji, do you have some kind of inferiority complex towards my sister?”

Wook─

Those words pierced her insides sharply.

“You f*cking b*tch… “Let’s see!”

Hyeji Kim raised her hand without realizing it.

Reason I closed her eyes tightly.

But then.

Jaw.

Wrist held tightly.

“Hey, Hyeji Kim.”

An extremely cold voice.

Kim Hye-ji’s eyes turned to the person holding her hand.

“Hey, Yuri…?”

“You f*cking b*tch. “Are you trying to hit my little brother?”

“Well, that’s not it…”

“I won’t accept the gate fee that you ate last time, which I paid for you.”

Puddeuddeuk─

“Just use that as a reward.”
