Trait Absorption Hunter Hunter Part 2 Episode 54
54. Hostage crisis
‘It’s a little late. Are the kids already here?’
Yang Baek-du got out of the car and entered the restaurant five minutes later than the appointed time.
“Welcome. Are you a guest with a reservation for 6 o’clock?”
“That’s right.”
“Come this way.”
Yang Baek-du, who was following the manager, discovered something strange.
‘I don’t see any customers. And the employees… … .’
But I didn’t doubt it any longer, thinking that it might be so.
“Here it is.”
When the manager opened the door, Yang Baek-du’s eyes widened in surprise.
‘No one came?’
Contrary to expectations that there would be someone waiting, there was no one in the room.
‘What happened? The kids are rarely late for appointments?’
I didn’t feel good.
At that moment, an ominous feeling began to well up in my mind.
Knock knock-
The sliding door opened and someone came in.
It was Song Chi-hyeon.
“Your, your great hero… sir?”
“Oh my, who is this? Isn’t that Secretary Yang Baek-du?”
Song Chi-hyun smiled brightly as if he was happy to see me.
On the other hand, Yang Baek-du showed caution.
Because I’ve never seen anyone smile like that before.
“Hey, how did Great Hero Song Chi-Hyeon get here… … .”
“Because it’s a restaurant I visit often.”
“I never told the Great Hero about the restaurant… … .”
At that moment, an ominous feeling appeared in Yang Baek-du’s head.
“Did you know I was coming here today?”
“Hmm, well?”
Looking at Song Chi-hyun’s playful expression, my ominous feeling turned into certainty.
“Where are you… … .”
“What are you talking about out of the blue?”
“… … My children must have come first?”
There was no trace of laughter on Yang Baek-du’s stern expression.
A look of extreme seriousness.
Song Chi-hyun burst into laughter at that sight.
“Hehehe. Even though you’re old, you’re still quick-witted.”
Song Chi-hyun’s gaze changed along with his tone.
From a hypocritical gaze to a poisonous gaze.
“I didn’t know you would give your children an escort. Even so, they wouldn’t be able to withstand a surprise attack by our subordinates.”
Yang Baek-du trembled at the words that were practically an admission.
“… … What did you do?”
“Huh? Are you speaking informally to a great hero?”
“What have I done with my children!”
“You even yelled? Wow, are you going to stop now? Heh heh.”
Song Chi-hyun was relaxed.
Because I was the one holding the gun.
“Where are you?
“Oh my, the old man is being noisy. I can’t help it. He wants to see me like this, so I have to show him.”
Song Chi-hyun winked at his subordinate who was disguised as a manager.
After a while, subordinates dressed as employees brought in the hostages.
“Condition! Condition!”
“Ah, father… … .”
The faces of the captured children were already a mess.
Anyone who looked at it could tell that it was evidence of assault.
“Song Chi -hyun touches my children!
“Woah, don’t get excited. But you didn’t kill him, did you?”
In other words, that means I can kill you at any moment.
Yang Baek-du, who realized that fact, tried to calm his excitement and said.
“What do you want?”
“Hehehe, since you’re quick-witted, you probably know without me saying anything, right?”
“… … .”
Yang Baek-du sighed as he looked at Song Chi-hyun’s bright smile.
“It’s my life.”
“As expected. Your perceptiveness is extraordinary.”
“If you want my life, let my children go. Then I will hand over my neck without any resistance.”

“Ah, father… … .”
The children’s eyes turned red at the sight of their father choosing to sacrifice without a second thought.
“Don’t worry. This happened because of me, so take responsibility for it.”
“Father, sob sob… .”
A touching atmosphere was created, but that was short-lived.
“Huh, is this a melodrama that I can’t watch without crying?”
The atmosphere was broken by Song Chi-hyun’s intrusion.
“You want me to send my children first? Who does this rascal think he is?”
Song Chi-hyeon spoke in a cold voice and nodded to his subordinate.
Then the subordinate lifted the arm of the eldest son, Yang Jo-Geon.
Crunch-
As Song Chi-hyeon’s sword flashed, Yang Jo-gagon’s wrist fell off.
It happened in the blink of an eye.
“Ugh, euaaaah!”
“Hey you! Get out of here!”
An enraged Yang Baekdu immediately put on his hunter gear.
But even sooner, Song Chi-hyeon’s sword reached the hostages’ throats.
“Would it be faster for you to attack me or for your children to lose their heads?”
“… … .”
“If you don’t want to be a childless widower, disarm when you speak nicely.”
Tseueueuut-
Yang Baek-du had no choice but to return to his normal clothes.
“What are you doing, Song Chi-hyeon? You said you would die without a word if only your children were sent back to you… … .”
“What do you mean, kill me? Do you think I don’t know your true intentions? As soon as your children’s safety is secured, you will break your promise and turn your sword on me. Your fighting ability will be similar. If you do well, you can turn the situation around. Don’t you think so?”
“… … .”
Yang Baek-du’s eyebrows twitched momentarily as if he had hit the nail on the head.
“If you were just going to let your children go, why would I have gone to all the trouble of taking over a restaurant and kidnapping them? Huh? Your children, who are also your weaknesses.”
Yang Baekdu swallowed his sigh.
Judging from the way he spoke, it seemed like he had no intention of letting her go easily.
“So what do you want me to do?”
“under.”
Song Chi-hyeon, who had been making a dissatisfied expression, suddenly swung his sword.
The second son, Yang Jo-wi, had his wrists cut off.
With this, both brothers lost their wrists.
“Ahhhh! Eww!”
“What the heck is this! Song Chi-hyun!”
“You’re speaking out of order, out of order. Shouldn’t you be more polite before asking questions? How is that the attitude of someone who’s been taken hostage? Huh?”
Song Chi-hyun cut off the hostage’s wrist simply because he felt bad.
“Sob, sob, father… … It hurts so much. Please save me… … .”
“Ugh, ugh… … .”
Yang Baek-du bit his lip as he watched his children suffering.
With his weakness exposed, he had no other choice.
“… … I’m sorry. I’ll do anything you tell me to, but please spare my children.”
For the first time, Yang Baek-du put aside his pride and showed a cowardly attitude.
“Heh heh heh.”
Song Chi-hyun couldn’t hold back his laughter at that sight.
“Even the snobbish powers of the association take their children hostage, so there’s nothing we can do about it?”
“… … I’ll do whatever you want.”
“Haha, okay. First, apologize to me.”
“sorry.”
“f*ck, apologize properly and sincerely. Remember how you were so rude to me last time!”
“I must have lost my mind back then. How dare I act so arrogantly in front of the great hero. I deserve to die a hundred times over. However, my children did nothing wrong, so please show mercy… … .”
At this moment, Yang Baek-du put aside all his pride and bowed his head.
I hope Song Chi-hyeon will show mercy.
“Haha, okay. I’ll accept your apology.”
“Thank you… … .”
“This time, cut off your own right arm.”
“… … .”
“What are you doing? Don’t do it quickly. Do you want to see your children die?”
A situation where you have no choice but to do as you are told.
“Phew.”
After Yang Baek-du prepared himself mentally, he took out his sword.
He put the sword on his shoulder and looked at Song Chi-hyeon for a moment.
“Oh, you better not have any other thoughts. I might just kill you.”
“Ugh… … .”
Yang Baek-du, who was thinking of taking Song Chi-hyeon by surprise, made an awkward expression.
Since I was reading his thoughts, I didn’t have time to think of any other options.
“If you don’t do it in 5 seconds, your children’s heads will fall off. 5, 4… … .”
A time-critical situation.
Yang Baek-du had to choose.
Should he simply cut off his own arm, or should he attack Song Chi-hyeon by surprise?
‘I can’t help it for the sake of my children.’
Yang Baek-du instinctively knew which choice was the best.
Crunch-
Blood spurted out with an eerie sound.
Even Baekdu Yang didn’t know whose blood it was.
What is certain is that it is not his or Song Chi-hyun’s blood.
Because he didn’t cut off his arm or attack Song Chi-hyeon.
“Ugh, euaaaah!”
The second brewer was terrified when he saw his brother’s head fall.
On the floor, there was a head of an unmistakable Yangjoga.
“Songchihyeoeeeeeeee!”
Yang Baek-du, who realized the situation too late, was furious and tried to rush in.
chuck-
Song Chi-hyeon was able to regain his senses because he pointed a sword at his remaining son’s neck.
“Yang Baek-du, you know better than me why I killed that guy, right?”
“Ugh… … .”
Yang Baek-du decided to attack Song Chi-hyeon at the end.
Of course, it didn’t cross my mind.
No, I tried not to think about it.
But it seems like the thought leaked out because it was difficult to block it completely.
“You shouldn’t have such impure thoughts. Or you should control them well.”
“Ugh, this kid won’t be satisfied even if he fries it… …!”
“Oh, you still don’t understand the topic and are trying to offend me?”
Song Chi-hyeon’s sword lightly stabbed Yang Jo-wi’s neck.
Blood is gushing out.
“Oh, Father… … I don’t mind dying, so don’t worry about it and do whatever you want.”
“Wh… What are you talking about! How could I leave you behind…?”
“I, I know that I am a son who does not live up to my father’s expectations… … That is why I do not want to hold back my father until the end… … Please allow me not to remain a stumbling block.”
“Jo-wi… … .”
“Hahahahaha!”
Song Chi-hyun burst into laughter, touching his forehead in an absurd situation.
“What great filial piety! To choose death rather than embarrass your father!”
I wasn’t being sarcastic.
Song Chi-hyeon was honestly impressed by Yang Jo-wi’s courage.
“The eldest son, whose head was cut off, begged for his life, and the second son, shaking like a scared puppy, spoke with courage. Even though he is a hostage, I can’t help but admire him.”
Song Chi-hyun was smiling as if he was relaxed, but inside he was gritting his teeth.
‘That kid is seriously thinking of giving up his life.’
If a hostage gives up his or her life, he or she loses the function of a hostage.
In other words, it is impossible to use the hostage to injure Yang Baekdu.
‘If we want to secure a sure victory, we’ll have to cut off that guy’s arm… … .’
No matter how superior Song Chi-Hyeon’s fighting power is, his characteristics are known to his opponent.
On the other hand, Song Chi-hyeon does not know Yang Baek-du’s characteristics.
‘Can I win a fight against a healthy Yang Baek-du?’
Even if you intentionally think of random thoughts to avoid reading the attack path, Song Chi-hyun’s trait becomes useless.
‘You can tell what skill they’re using, but at best you can only know it a second in advance. That’s useless.’
Therefore, direct confrontation should be avoided.
Because there is no guarantee that you will win.
‘It’s better to grab hold of their weakness and shake them.’
However, the hostage, who can be considered a weak point, is giving up his life and Baekdu Yang is in agreement with it.
This way, there are no hostages to take advantage of.
‘Come to think of it, that guy had another son?’
Although threats may not work because he is an illegitimate child who is being looked down upon, it is a situation where he must fall for even a straw.
Song Chi-hyeon warned Yang Baek-du, who seemed ready to rush in at any moment.
“If you think this guy is the only hostage left, you’re mistaken.”
“That means… … .”
“The life of the Association’s illegitimate child is also in my hands.”
Although Yang Jo-young was taken hostage, Yang Baek-du said indifferently as if it didn’t matter.
“The life of an illegitimate child is none of my concern.”
“……father?”
When Yang Jo-wi looked at him with surprised eyes at his cold words, Yang Baek-du avoided his gaze.
Song Chi-hyeon, who found the rich man’s reaction suspicious, read his son’s thoughts.
Then, I was able to reap an unexpected harvest.
“Heh heh, what is this? I thought you were treating me like an illegitimate child, but it was actually on purpose?”
“… … .”
Did Yang Baek-du actually care about Yang Jo-yeong?
This was a perfect opportunity for Song Chi-hyun to threaten.
“Say it with your own mouth. Do you really care what happens to the life of an illegitimate child?”
“……okay.”
“Really? Then I guess I should order my subordinate to kill him right now.”
When Song Chi-hyun picked up his cell phone, Yang Baek-du’s eyes lit up with excitement.
Song Chi-hyun didn’t miss that sight.
“Haha, really? Do you really care about an illegitimate child?”
“… … .”
“Even if you cheated and had a child, a child is still a child, right? Heh heh.”
“… … Where is Jo Young? I can’t help but think she’s not here, considering she’s trying to call.”
Song Chi-hyeon felt bad when Yang Baek-du returned to speaking informally.
“F*ck, if you ask me where it is, do you think I’ll tell you?”
“I don’t know where he is, but it looks like he wasn’t kidnapped. After all, kidnapping a hunter isn’t an easy task.”
Although Yang Baek-du, who was quick-witted, figured it out, Song Chi-hyeon just laughed it off.
“Huh, don’t let that fool you. I’ve already given the assassination order to my direct subordinate. He’s probably preparing to stab me in the back of the head by now.”
“I trust Jo Young. He’s not someone who can be easily fooled.”
“Is that really so? The subordinates I sent have never disappointed me.”
“Then I guess this is my turn to be stabbed in the foot by the axe I trusted.”
“Seeing you talking like that without being able to tell the difference between heaven and earth… … .”
Crunch- thud-
Song Chi-hyeon cut off Yang Jo-wi’s neck while he was asleep.
“It seems like you don’t care about your children’s lives.”
“Joe, Jo-wi… … .”
‘Now is the time.’
Song Chi-hyeon took advantage of the gap left by Yang Baek-du’s shock and extended his sword.
however.
Teeing-
Yang Baek-du, who was already wearing his equipment, deflected Song Chi-hyeon’s sword.
“Songchihyeoeeeeeeeeeeee!!!”
As Yang Baek-du, whose anger was at its peak, rushed towards him, Song Chi-hyeon shouted urgently.
“If it comes to this, it’s an all-out war! Everyone, attack!”
The wall collapsed and his immediate subordinates who had been waiting on all sides jumped out.
They were the elite of the elite, made up of Class A and Class B.
Song Chi-hyeon smiled at Yang Baek-du, who was surrounded in an instant.
‘Here, you and your children will die like dogs!’
But things didn’t go as expected.
“Ugh!”
“Cough!”
Even while under concentrated attack, there was not a single wound on Yang Baek-du’s body.
Rather, the damage to his subordinates only increased.
‘What’s going on? I’m not taking any damage at all?’
Song Chi-hyeon was about to step forward when he was attacked by his subordinates and was exhausted, but Yang Baek-du was running wild like a wolf among sheep.
“Damn it, everyone back off! I’ll handle that guy!”
Song Chi-hyeon, who could not afford to lose any more subordinates, confronted Yang Baek-du himself.
Kang- Kang- Kak-!
Swords clashed and each unleashed their skills on the other.
‘I will read your thoughts and figure out your attack path!’
However, Yang Baek-du, who already knew Song Chi-hyeon’s characteristics, was going into battle with a mind free of thoughts and worries.
Song Chi-hyun’s face was distorted in a pleasing way.
‘Damn. My trait is so useless.’
It was as expected, but when I actually experienced it, I couldn’t help but feel bitter.
Kang- Kang- Kang!
The battle dragged on.
Song Chi-hyeon, who had been relying solely on his skills and not relying on his special ability, had cold sweat forming on his forehead.
‘f*ck, f*ck, f*ck, f*ck, f*ck!!!’
As time went by, it was getting pushed back.
Not only the momentum of a veteran who is crazy with anger, but also his skills.
Song Chi-hyeon was no match for Yang Baek-du.
‘I can’t lose, I can’t lose!’
His subordinates, who had grasped the situation, attacked here and there when they had the chance, but it was no use.
For some reason, Yang Baek-du was invincible against attacks from his subordinates.
On the other hand, Song Chi-hyeon’s attack definitely hurt him.
Of course, there were more wounds on Song Chi-hyun’s body than that.
‘If we keep going like this, we’ll lose, damn it!’
A frustrating situation where no one can help.
After fighting like that for a long time.
An unexpected person appeared in Song Chi-hyun’s eyes.
It was none other than Choi Seong-min.
‘Why did Choi Sungmin come here?’
But it wasn’t just Choi Sung-min that surprised Song Chi-hyun.
Because there was an unexpected person right next to me.
‘Hey, Yang Jo-young?’
