A strange city where people suffering from insanity defeat surreal monsters to change their lives, and large corporations that wield technologies that do not exist in reality accumulate enormous wealth.
In the darkness of a city where it is not easy to go crazy than others, Cheongho is one of the three bosses of the underworld who is gaining more notoriety than anyone else.
Cheongho is a person with many big rumors.
Well, his hands are cruel, he possesses outrageous violence, he harbors incurable madness... … If I were to list them all, it would be a trivial story.
Regardless of such rumors, his love for his daughter must have been sincere. As soon as Tudor contacted him, a shiny black luxury sedan came out to meet Vasilisa's entrance.
It was less than three minutes after Tudor hung up the phone.
"You came quickly."
An older man in a suit sitting in the driver's seat answered in a quiet voice.
"He was the member of the organization I was closest to."
It is said that among the contacts that could be mobilized, the person closest to Vasilisa was mobilized to serve me.
"The Chairman's home is not that far from here."
"okay."
"Yes, it takes about 30 minutes to get there… … "Please understand that I am speeding a little due to the circumstances."
Cheongho's house is a high-end country house located on the outskirts of Paju.
Of course, this does not mean that it is a building with a leisurely atmosphere where a rich, retired person can spend his final years leisurely. In reality, it is a place that should be called a mansion rather than a country house.
From the moment I got onto the automobile road, the car began to accelerate slowly. Since it was late at night and the roads were empty, the elderly driver seemed to have increased his speed to the limit he could drive. Nevertheless, because the ride was so comfortable and it was a heavy vehicle, there was no major discomfort.
The driver introduced himself politely, saying that he was just a member of the organization, and that his name was Chae Tae-won.
And I knew his name before he introduced himself.
It means that he has enough weight to leave his name in [Cthulhu World], and it also means that he has at least a memorable level of ability.
Of course, depending on how things unfold in the future, the day to call his name may never come again, and you may end up fighting over and over again until he dies.
A thin body, long height, and neatly combed hair. Stable wrinkles on the face. In fact, rather than a physically active member of an organization, he looks more like a desk worker like a bank president or an executive of a company.
In reality, his work will generally not be much different from those of those who work at desks. This is because Chae Tae-won is a branch leader who runs a branch of the Triad.
In short, this means that he is not the person who would act as my driver in this situation.
Tudor used this as the subject of a joke, saying, 'I'm not in a hurry, the client is in a hurry.' But it seems like he was in a hurry.
And although they don't show it, the situation is actually urgent.
This is information that only I know and that others cannot know.
[! Time limit: Hyunah Jeong dies after (2) hours. !]
After all, it is an annoying time attack quest. I hope there aren't too many interruptions, but the time left is too short. If something goes a little wrong, you can fail regardless of your skills.
And if you fail, what you get is… … .
[In case of failure: You will have a hostile relationship with the Triad.]
'Oh damn, it's annoying! Why do I have to take on this quest... … !'
The time it took to reach the gate was about 8 minutes. Seeing the car's speed slowly decreasing, it seemed like we had almost reached our destination.
"It can be a little noisy when you arrive. "We ask for your understanding."
Even though I am wearing a mask, a hoodie, a backpack, and even a skateboard, Chae Taewon's polite attitude does not waver one bit. He is truly a person whom it would be a shame to dismiss and call him a gangster.
"I'm just guessing."
It is usually a heavily guarded place with dozens of gang members standing guard at all times, but now the boss of the gang has had his family kidnapped. Probably hundreds of henchmen belonging to the organization are flocking in to form a crowd.
"No, not that kind of situation."
"… … ? "Then what is it?"
"The police will be here."
"ah."
The situation is similar to the abandoned hospital in Gamaksan Mountain. Because of the dynamic real-time active quest system, even if you do the same quest, the details are slightly different every time.
At Gamaksan Mountain, Go Kyung-soo's Wild Gunz gang was rushing in, and the test subjects were armed with firearms and were waiting for me.
This Boss's Daughter quest has a low probability of calling in additional NPCs. And if you're really unlucky, you could end up in a really painful situation.
And it was definitely a very, very, very noisy situation around there.
At the entrance to a large mansion with a high fence, rugged gangsters in black suits are blocking the entrance.
And dozens of police officers confronting the gangsters. Perhaps right after a physical fight had already taken place, the personnel in the area where the two forces met were in a mess, with their clothes torn and their hair matted.
On one side.
"Get out now!"
"Bring me a warrant!!"
"The police don't know where this is!"
On the other side.
"Move! Move!"
"Oh, open the door!!"
"You all want to be arrested?!"
"This is obstruction of official duties!"
This kind of scene is not something you see often in Paju.
If I were to comment on this scene in one line, it would be as follows.
"For some reason, it feels like we've come to conduct a search and seizure rather than to catch a kidnapper."
At my words, Chae Tae-hyun seems to have a headache, so he lowers his head slightly and touches his head with one hand.
"It looks like there is someone who wants to trouble the Chairman."
"that is… … "I think it's him."
A woman holding a megaphone leaps forward among the police. It would not be easy to make such a move in such a crowded situation, but as she made the motion of pushing the police officers, dozens of her men were pushed away at once, splitting to her left and right.
Ah, this is the worst. worst.
An NPC that appears only when you are extremely unlucky, the enemy of all the outcasts in Paju who pretend to be clumsy outlaws, and the craziest civil servant in Paju.
This is Yang Seo-ho.
Yang Seo-ho put his mouth to the loudspeaker and shouted at the Triad gangsters right in front of him.
"ah! ah! Triad gangsters!!!!!"
It's not that the loudspeaker was some kind of artifact, but there was more physical pressure in her shout than just sound.
As her voice bursts out, the gangsters blocking the entrance within close range of her stumble and step back.
"We are just and good police officers who came to find your boss's daughter!!!! "Don't do any nonsense and cooperate with us right away!!!"
That's a really crazy woman.
Still, it seems that there was someone with some spirit on the Triad's side. From the side of the Triad, a large man who appears to be twice Yang Seo-ho's size walks out, stomping his feet.
"No, we said there was no problem, so why did you come here and cause trouble?"
The giant tensed up his entire body's magic as if he was going to punch Yang Seo-ho at any moment, but anyway, on the surface, he maintained at least some common sense.
Meanwhile, Yang Seo-ho, who defends law and justice, pointed a loudspeaker at his face and shouted.
"Ah, so you came to look for your leader's baby daughter? "Why don't you turn it off right now?!!"
This is a reckless act without even the slightest sense of common sense.
The man who had been speaking politely grabbed his ears and hesitated at Yang Seo-ho's shouting, but eventually he got so angry that his face turned bright red and shouted at him.
"Oh, I mean! No need! If you want to come in here, get a warrant!!!"
"I have no intention of touching your boss as long as he is a citizen of this great Republic of Korea, and the same applies to your daughter!!! "What I'm looking for are kidnappers, so open the door right now!!!"
"How can this be a modification!!! "Get a warrant!!!"
"What is this, you bastard!!"
What… … I don't necessarily want to take Yang Seo-ho's side, but there is actually no need to doubt Yang Seo-ho's sincerity. Even if she says that the person she is dealing with is not a gang leader but a serial killer of human waste, she does not care much as long as the person is a Korean who can legally walk on the soil of the Republic of Korea.
The reason she is pushing forward, even misusing her authority, is because the kidnapper who kidnapped Cheongho's daughter is her target, an 'illegal alien', that is, a being from another world.
However, as long as we continue to be inflexible like that, misunderstandings will deepen as time goes by.
This is not the time to spend time hiding in Chae Taewon's car.
I spoke to Taewon Chae, who was looking troubled.
"It doesn't look like this non-happening incident will end easily."
"Umm… … It's urgent... … ."
Chae Tae-won was speechless for a moment, but then he looked determined and continued.
"I will step forward and somehow open the way."
"No, no. wait a minute."
"yes?"
Even if Chae Tae-won steps forward, there is no guarantee that the path will be opened. I don't want to waste more time when time is already limited.
"I will go back alone."
"It would be a similar situation at the back door."
"Perhaps, if the Chairman would understand, I would like to quietly climb over the wall."
"No, you can't do that to a customer…" … ."
Chae Tae-won is embarrassed. Yang Seo-ho's expression is more disheveled than when he was seen making a fuss.
In fact, there is more to this than just being polite to guests. No matter what the situation is, I will be the one who climbed over the walls of the Triad leader's house. There is a problem with the Triad's pride, and Chae Taewon, who fails to perform properly, may also be humiliated internally.
But are you really going to keep wasting time like this?
"You don't have time now, do you?"
"Umm… … All right. But please wait a moment."
Chae Taewon quietly pulls the car back. He moved to a location where he could not be seen by the gathered police, got out of the car, picked up his smartphone, and started making a call.
Get permission... … At least it seems like they are telling me not to be surprised when I enter.
The call wasn't long. Chae Tae-won soon returned to the driver's seat, and his face looked a few years older when he returned to the car.
"Kim Shin-hwa told me not to panic even if he goes in."
"Then you can come in."
"Yes, it can be dangerous if you enter the wrong place… … Can you see the tree branches extending over the wall over there?"
"I can see it."
"Could you please go towards that tree? "I have sent someone to welcome you there."
"No problem."
Chae Taewon turned his head for a moment and seemed to sigh quietly. And he seemed to pause for a moment, but Chae Tae-won suddenly said something out of the blue.
"The chairman is very concerned."
Silence is better than a clumsy response to these words.
"And more than for the president, I ask you again for your sake. "Unlike us, aren't you an innocent little girl?"
"Well, since I've been given the job, I don't plan on doing anything roughly."
"thank you."
