Trait Absorption Hunter Hunter 248
248. Kidnapped Girlfriend
‘Why did this kid call?’
Min Do-jun tilted his head at Adam’s phone call.
“What’s going on? Are you calling to make one last plea before you die?”
-Haha, look how well he talks about this guy having a piercing mouth.
“From what you say, it seems like you want me to kill you quickly. Just wait a moment. I’ll come and kill you when the time comes.”
-Since you’re so confident about coming, I guess you can track the location?
“If you knew, you would run away until your feet sweat.”
-Hehehe, you seem very confident.
“You, what are you planning to do now when you can’t even beg for your life?”
Min Do-jun didn’t like Adam’s confident voice.
“You’re going to die anyway, so did you call just to talk things out?”
– Hehe, no way. I called to tell you some news that I think you’ll be very happy to hear.
“Good news?”
-My subordinate just kidnapped your girlfriend.
“what?”
-How is it? Aren’t you happy? You cleaned up after your girlfriend who was just a nuisance and not helpful at all.
“… … .”
Min Do-jun looked dumbfounded at the absurd claim that his girlfriend had been kidnapped.
“What are you talking about? Where is my girlfriend… … .”
-Hehehe, it’s no use pretending. Did you think I didn’t know that your girlfriend visited the guild?
‘what……?’
Min Do-jun was so surprised that he couldn’t say anything.
-Hehehe, you must have been quite surprised to see how quiet it was.
“… … .”
-As expected, even the best Min Do-jun had a weakness. His plan to kidnap his girlfriend was truly a stroke of genius.
“… … Don’t talk nonsense. You seem to be mistaken. The person you kidnapped is not my girlfriend.”
-Oh, really? Then it wouldn’t matter if I killed you?
“… … .”
-You thought I’d let you go if you pretended I wasn’t your girlfriend, but that kind of bluff doesn’t work on me.
‘f*ck.’
Min Do-jun clenched his fist.
“… … So? What do you want?”
-First, come to Jeju Island within 3 hours. I’ll tell you the exact location later.
“What evidence do you have that you kidnapped your girlfriend?”
-I’ll show you that via video call when you arrive in Jeju Island.
“How can I believe what you say?”
-If you don’t want to believe it, don’t believe it. I’m a person who has no regrets.
“… … .”
-But if you don’t arrive on time, you’ll never see your girlfriend again. Heh heh.
The call was disconnected with that.
“What the f*ck!”
Min Do-jun got angry in an unusual way.
It wasn’t because I was upset about being threatened.
It was anger at himself for not being able to protect Cha Ye-rin.
‘I’ve been avoiding Yerin all this time because I was afraid something like this would happen… … !’
Just once.
I never imagined that something like this would happen because Cha Ye-rin came to the guild.
‘How did that kid know about my relationship with Yerin? Did he just assume I was his girlfriend?’
That was good, I guess.
The important thing is that Cha Ye-rin was kidnapped.
‘No. You never know. You might be mistaken for someone else.’
Hoping that would happen, Min Do-jun got into his car and went somewhere.
It was to confirm whether Cha Ye-rin had really been kidnapped.
‘think.’
The place Min Do-jun arrived was a residential area in Seoul.
It was Cha Ye-rin’s house.
‘If I remember correctly, he’s still living here with his family.’
The location was clear, as the high school she attended was nearby.
Tiiiii-
Min Do-jun immediately rang the doorbell.
I was hoping someone would come out, but there was no response.
‘There’s no need to detect movement.’
The house looks empty.
‘Come to think of it, isn’t it time when everyone is going to work or going to school?’
It was 3pm on a weekday so there couldn’t have been anyone there.
‘Should I go to the school? No. If I do that, our paths might diverge.’

In the end, Min Do-jun decided to wait for Cha Ye-rin in front of the house.
‘It’ll be time to go home from school soon.’
But after an hour or two, she didn’t show up.
‘It’s way past school time, how did this happen? Was I really kidnapped…?’
A feeling of anxiety slowly rose in a corner of my heart.
I’ve been keeping my distance from her all this time to protect her.
It was killing me not knowing where it was when I really needed it.
‘I should have remembered the smell when I came to the guild that time… ‘
If that were the case, I wouldn’t be so anxious because I don’t know the location.
‘The three hours we promised are almost up.’
Now it’s too late to go to Jeju Island on time.
Of course, if you were riding a ghost wolf instead of an airplane, it would be a different story.
‘What the hell happened? Why aren’t you coming?’
At that moment, as I was feeling anxious, a car parked in front of the house.
“Huh? Hunter Min Do-jun?”
The person who got out of the car was his brother-in-law, Cha Seung-hoon.
“What are you doing here?”
“What about… … No, Mr. Cha Seung-hoon? What about your younger sibling?”
“My brother?”
“Yes. Where is Cha Ye-rin?”
“You’re not home yet? It’s past your time to come… … .”
Rather, Min Do-jun frowned as he looked at Cha Seung-hoon who was questioning him.
The ominous premonition became reality.
‘Ha… … Yerin was really kidnapped… … .’
Cha Seung-hoon asked with a calm expression, not knowing whether he knew Min Do-jun’s true feelings or not.
“But, Hunter, what business do you have with my little brother? Why did you come all the way to my house… .”
“That’s not important right now.”
“Yes? Really?”
“Maybe if you call your brother you’ll know… … .”
“Brother!”
Min Do-jun turned his head at the familiar voice.
‘Yerin?’
Cha Ye-rin, who was thought to have been kidnapped, was walking towards us in her school uniform.
“Are you here now?”
“Brother, what’s going on? Is this person that… …?”
When she saw Min Do-jun, she bowed her head and greeted him.
“hello.”
On the other hand, Min Do-jun just stared blankly.
Because until just a moment ago, I thought I had definitely been kidnapped.
Min Do-jun, who had come to his senses, looked at Cha Seung-hoon.
“What happened? You said it was past your time to come earlier.”
“Huh? Ah… … It did pass. About 10 minutes.”
“… … .”
Cha Seung-hoon asked his younger brother, leaving Min Do-jun behind who was looking dumbfounded.
“You’re a little late today?”
“I was just talking to my school friends.”
“academy?”
Cha Seung-hoon answered Min Do-jun’s question.
“Yerin is currently attending an academy to get her guild manager license.”
“ah…….”
Min Do-jun belatedly recalled his memories.
‘By the way, Yerin had a certificate, right?’
If you have a Guild Manager license, it is also easy to get a job at the Hunter Management Center.
‘I said I wanted to join the branch where my brother is and take care of him directly.’
Perhaps because of the fear that I might have been kidnapped, I never thought that I was going to school at this time.
“But Oppa, what’s going on? Are you talking to the guild leader? Have you decided to join the Guardian Guild?”
“No, that’s not it. I just happened to run into Hunter Min Do-jun.”
“You said we ran into each other by chance? In front of my house?”
“Yeah. He was looking for you.”
“me?”
Cha Ye-rin looked at Min Do-jun with a look of surprise.
“What’s going on?”
“It’s nothing. By the way, Mr. Cha Seung-hoon.”
“yes?”
Min Do-jun changed the subject for no reason.
“I guess you haven’t found a guild yet?”
“Oh, yes.”
“I see. Okay, I understand. That’s all.”
With those words left behind, Min Do-jun returned to his car.
After confirming Cha Ye-rin’s safety, there was nothing more to see.
Boooooong-
Cha Ye-rin muttered with a bewildered expression as she watched the back of the car leaving the residential area.
“You came all the way to my house just to ask that?”
“well…….”
Cha Seung-hoon also didn’t understand the current situation.
“But Yerin.”
“huh?”
“Have you ever told Hunter Min Do-jun your name?”
“no.”
“But how do you know my name? And my home address… .”
“… … .”
In many ways, it was impossible not to be questionable.
* * *
‘The person who was kidnapped wasn’t Yerin.’
Min Do-jun’s expression improved significantly.
If Cha Ye-rin had really been kidnapped, he might not have been able to forgive himself.
‘I should remember the smell because this kind of situation might happen again.’
Min Do-jun instructed the ghost wolf to remember the scent of two people.
It’s something I should have done a long time ago, from the first time I saw it.
‘I don’t think it’s a good idea to just keep your distance.’
Now, the thought that I could track down my brother-in-law and Cha Ye-rin at will made me feel less anxious.
‘Yerin is fine. Then who is the girlfriend you kidnapped?’
At that moment, a call came to Min Do-jun’s cell phone.
It was Adam.
-The promised 3 hours have passed. Min Do-jun. Have you arrived in Jeju Island?
Even though they hadn’t even set off yet, Min Do-jun was calmly telling lies.
“Yeah. I just got here.”
-Okay. Then I’ll tell you where your girlfriend is.
The call was disconnected, and soon after, a video call came from another number.
As soon as I picked up the phone, I saw a man shouting in Chinese.
“Stop whining and look over here, you bitch!”
“Sob, sob, let me go. Please… … .”
The woman who had been kneeling with her hands tied raised her face.
‘Guild Leader Hong Se-yeon?’
The person who was captured was none other than Hong Se-yeon, the leader of the Baekryeon Guild.
‘The girlfriend you said you kidnapped was Se-yeon?’
Come to think of it, the sales manager of the Overlord Guild once came to visit me at dawn.
‘At that time, I mistook Se-yeon, who was with me, for my girlfriend.’
I told you to keep your mouth shut so that no unnecessary rumors would spread, but it seems like you reported it to the guild leader, Adam.
‘Damn it. Se-yeon got caught because of me… … .’
The Chinese man adjusted the angle of his phone with a sinister smile.
Hong Se-yeon’s eyes were red and swollen from how much she cried.
The Chinese man who was shining a light on Hong Se-yeon showed her the surroundings by turning his cell phone without saying anything.
‘Are you showing me the place where I was kidnapped?’
I could see trees and bushes on the top of the mountain, and the sea in the distance.
After showing the background like that, the video call was disconnected.
A while later, Adam called again.
-Have you confirmed whether your girlfriend is alive or dead?
He mistook Hong Se-yeon for his girlfriend, but he didn’t bother to correct her.
‘If he finds out that you’re not his girlfriend, he’ll know you’re useless and try to kill you right away.’
Min Do-jun asked in a voice that seemed to be suppressing his anger.
“You little punk… … You didn’t do anything weird to Seyun, did you?”
-What a strange thing. Are you hoping to rape me or something? Just tell me. I can do it right now.
“… … .”
– Heh heh, don’t be so scared. I didn’t touch your woman. I just ordered her kidnapping. Well, that depends on how you act.
“What do you want?”
-My subordinate will show you the location. It’s called Sanbangsan Mountain in Jeju Island. When you meet my subordinate at the top, call him again. Then he will tell you what to do.
“Is that all?”
-Yeah. You better not even think about taking my subordinate by surprise. If you do, you’ll immediately teleport away with your girlfriend. And since she’s wearing a legendary item anyway, you can’t kill her in one shot.
“… … Okay. I won’t do anything useless.”
-Heh heh, good, good. That’s what it means to be a good adult.
The call ended with Adam’s satisfied smile.
But the one who really wanted to laugh was Min Do-jun.
‘I guess I have some idea why you called me.’
Not only did I figure out Adam’s plan, but I also ended up meeting the Chinese twins I had been looking for.
‘If he even smells the Chinese twins, his remaining legs will be cut off.’
If we kill one twin from each of the Chinese and American teams, Adam will have no way of escaping.
‘Maybe he’s trying to kill me by throwing me off a cliff, but it won’t be easy.’
Min Do-jun rode on a ghost wolf whose cooldown had returned.
‘Seyeon, please wait. I will save you right away.’
It’s quite far to Jeju Island, but if you take the Ghost Wolf, you’ll get there in 10 minutes.
‘Let’s go. Hey, let’s go to Jeju Island.’
[Crunch!]
Min Do-jun disappeared in the blink of an eye.
