Chapter 103 - : Unidentified Man (2/2)
Second, this secret residence was discovered.
Third, there might still be enemies lurking around the house.
Fourth, Haccid was kidnapped.
After his thorough analysis, Soo Hyuk closed his window.
‘Let’s start with the first clue.’
Right now, the first thing to do was to find the three clues hidden somewhere inside the house.
‘Will they shine just like the other time?’
When he had searched the former house of Ketan, a green glow had come from within the wall, and there was an item there. So, would the clues glow like previous times?
‘Well, there is nothing in the living room.’
There were no glowy lights hovering in the living room. So, Soo Hyuk entered the left room. As he entered the room, he couldn’t help but smile.
‘Ah, there are two of them.’
There were two places that emitted the subtle glows. Soo Hyuk moved close toward the wall, then, pressed against the softly shining light touching the wall. Though, the wall didn’t move like last time.
[Obtained Clue A.]
Instead, the light disappeared and a notification appeared.
‘What, I just needed to touch them?’
He thought he needed to find something, but everything was solved with just being in contact with the lights. After looking at the message, Soo Hyuk moved towards the left corner of the room. Then proceeded to touch the floor, as it was emitting the same light as the wall.
[Obtained Clue C.]
Just as Clue A, as soon as he touched the floor, the light faded and a message appeared in front of him. So, just like that, he acquired the two clues and left and headed for the next room. Having obtained two clues, Soo Hyuk left the room. In the next room, he found a single light emitting from the room.
[Obtained Clue B.]
Soo Hyuk touched the table that was emitting the familiar light, and as soon as it disappeared, a message appeared. So after obtaining all the three clues, Soo Hyuk came out and entered the living room.
‘Now, one more condition left.’
As the criteria given for the quest, he had to complete one more condition before completing the quest. That is to find those unidentified men surrounding the house and annihilate them.
‘Let’s get started.’
Soo Hyuk came out of the house.
‘Where could they be?’
leaving the house, Soo Hyuk stood still and looked around the surroundings of the house.
‘They are good at hiding themselves.’
Those unidentified men that surrounded the house, their numbers were unknown but not a single person could be seen.
‘I know they will come out.’
So he waited.
He would complete the quest if he could get rid of those unidentified men. In other words, it’s fine if he didn’t hunt them down.
‘When will they come out?’
He didn’t want to chase them, nor want to run away. Soo Hyuk intended to take care of those people here, in front of the house.
Soon after.
People started showing up from all over the place because they felt strange when they saw him standing still.
‘They’re NPCs.’
That thought came into Soo Hyuk’s mind as soon as he saw those mysterious men approaching him. Those men were wearing clothes with the same pattern gold dragon painted on them. Even if the pattern of the organisation was clear, no guild mark was hovering on their head. So it was clear they were NPCs.
Those men stopped walking and kept a moderate distance from Soo Hyuk. They didn’t stick together at one place, scattering themselves covering the whole area. It seems that they were prepared for any unforeseen events, and stayed alert among themselves.
“Hello.”
The man who stopped in front of Soo Hyuk said.
“Ah-yes, hello.”
Mirroring, Soo Hyuk too greeted his company.
“We are just looking for the owner of the house.”
“Okay.”
“Do you happen to know where he is?”
“No.”
Soo Hyuk didn’t hesitate with his answer. Where was Romian? Well, he didn’t know either. Don’t they know he wanted that answer as well?
At Soo Hyuk’s mannerism, the man frowned.
“Look, we don’t have time.”
He continued while glaring at Soo Hyuk with his fierce eyes.
“I’ll be blunt. Show me where Romian is. And if you don’t cooperate…”
That man emphasising his last words continued.
“You can see these men beside me, right?”
“You might not have a good ending.”
As soon as he stated those words as if they were commanded more men appeared.
“Not a good ending?”
Looking at those newcomers, Soo Hyuk repeated the same words as the man stated.
‘At this rate…’
Looking at the location.
‘It’ll be perfect for a Poison Storm.’
If he cast the spell, then those men would be wiped out in no time.
‘The problem was those criminals.’
He wanted to try ‘Poison Storm’ at such a big scale, but he couldn’t. And the reason being the spell is being reported as the most used spell among the criminals.
“Yes, not good. Don’t pretend as if you don’t know.”
“I really don’t know. What could happen?”
Right now, what Soo Hyuk needed was them to attack first.
“This is crazy…”
The man shook his head and as if replying to him Soo Hyuk smiled back.
Seeing the smile, the man’s face turned ugly.
“Let’s see if you can hold on.”
Frowning, the man told Soo Hyuk. Those words were a declaration from the man.
‘It’s starting!’
An alert message appeared, stating a great presence of hostility.
‘…Huh?’
Despite that the notification he was waiting for appeared, Soo Hyuk was surprised, and the reason was the message itself.
[You’ve become hostile with Parville Merchants’ Corps armed group, the Red Wolf Gang]
‘Parville?’
