BXBX NOVEL Chapter 380 - What...?
Chapter 380 - What...?
The next day, 9 AM.
Vroooom!
A man wearing a black trench coat over a white shirt with a black necktie and a pair of black denim pants is cruising through an expressway on a black and white 800cc motorbike with a briefcase strapped over his shoulders.
Michael arrived at a relatively large town almost an hour later, and booked a room in a cheap looking hotel, then he walked around the neighborhood like he was looking for something, and came back at the hotel two hours later and didn’t do anything after that except playing Fate Online until 6 PM.
He came down from the third floor and asked the receptionist if there are food streets around here, and made his way over there and ate the local snacks for dinner before making his way through a sketchy neighborhood, where the people he met on the streets gave him weird looks. Probably wondering to themselves what a foreigner like Michael is doing all the way to such a dangerous place.
Night had fully covered the entire sky when Michael arrived at the foot of a hill. He took out a small flashlight and started his trek up to the top.
The trek up looks so creepy because there’s barely any lamp post around the trail that an ordinary person wouldn’t have dared to go alone by themselves, but Michael is someone who had already seen almost what the world can offer.
In fact, he was even hoping someone would come to trouble him just like the other night and rob them.
Unfortunately, no one followed him, and Michael safely arrived at the top five minutes later.
It wasn’t a long trek, and Michael picked this spot because it’s desolate, rumored to be haunted and most of all, it gives him a good vantage point for his target tonight.
"A construction site would have been good, but this place is isolated enough. I just hope no one is dumb enough to come here tonight or else..."
While Michael is setting up and making sure that no one is around other than him.
At an old looking house, a shabbily dressed man came walking out from the front door with wobbling steps while mumbling angrily in a drunken state as he held a bottle of alcohol in one hand.
"That...b*tch! She des...troyed my...life! Now, I’m a poor...bloke that can’t...find a job because of...what happened! Good thing...I...still have my...house though~" said the drunken man in between as he came out of the gate in a wobbly manner, like he would fall any second now because of how drunk the man is.
"Why~? Why?!!! Hahaha!"
"Tsk! That bastard is at it again tonight!" One of his neighbors couldn’t help but complain to the person before them when they heard the familiar yelling on the street outside their homes.
"He deserves everything that happened to him. Most of all, he doesn’t deserve to live after what they did to that poor child, he should have been shot to death! I really don’t understand why the prosecution didn’t sentence that bastard to death!" replied a woman, her face looks particularly scary while weaving the fabric in her hands that it gave her husband cold sweat.
Thud!
The two looked at each other when they heard the sound of a heavy object falling on the ground, then they shook their heads when a thought occurred to them.
"He must be so drunk that he’s sleeping in the streets again"
"That bastard should just go to sleep instead of troubling us like this"
A minute earlier.
"I’m so lonely. My parents and siblings hate me, my relatives cut off their ties from me. No one wants me anymore, boohoo~"
Psschhh.
Thud!
Suddenly, something pierced through his head and he fell on the ground a second later after uttering those possibly last words of his, and he laid there on the cold hard ground as his blood dyed the road red.
"One down, two more to go," said Michael as he moved his head away from the sniper rifle in his hands as he let out a cold breath of air and started packing up and made his way down the hill.
"Kyaaaaa!!! Murder!!"
An hour later, a piercing scream filled with horror reverberated throughout the quiet neighborhood, startling those already sleeping and still awake as they slowly came out of their houses to take a peek outside.
And not before long, multiple police cars came and quickly cordoned the crime scene.
Earlier in the morning, two police officers came to the hotel that Michael is staying at and met him to ask him some questions.
After all, he was reported as a suspicious person after someone died the day he arrived in town, but he just dismissed them claiming that he’s some kind of backpacker, which he is if you think about what he does that he needs to travel from many areas.
Even though they were still suspicious of him, they let him go after that as they didn’t have anything to hold him down.
Michael didn’t do anything after that except for walking around the neighborhood and eating every food that the town could offer, and while eating, he would overhear the local people talking about the man he killed last night that he deserved his death, making him smile that other people also think that the man deserved it.
He noticed that a couple of police officers were tailing him, but he just ignored them as he made sure to not leave any evidence that could be traced.
When he grew tired of walking around, he went back to the hotel and went to play the game.
The next day.
"Alright, time to take care of the last one as I only have a few more days on my leave of absence"
Michael checked out of the hotel and once again got back on the road.
And the next day, another shocking news sent shockwaves throughout the country. Hajeong, an infamous woman who killed a child who’s only over a year old was killed when she was taking a run at the field where she was imprisoned.
Only then did the authorities who were investigating her husband’s death realize that the killer’s objective was both of them.
The officers who were dealing with the case were delighted instead of feeling angered and sad, resulting in them doing their work of finding the one behind the mess half heartedly.
While the entire nation celebrated their deaths, some were angered, especially to those people who thought it was a challenge to their authority.
On the internet, people called him a bringer of justice, a vigilante and most of all, a hero.
Especially to those people who had been long unsatisfied with the punishment those two criminals got.
And while this is all happening, the culprit behind this event had just arrived at Fox’s inn in the afternoon.
Walking inside, Michael was quick to notice that except for Fox, there’s only him inside.
"My worker went to take a break. It’s just us. Go on, take a seat" said Fox the moment Michael stepped foot inside while gesturing for him to take a seat at the bar.
"Did you see the news this morning? Your recent activities became a sensation"
Michael chuckled and replied, "I know, people are talking about it on the streets"
"Anyway, did you get the information on that person? I want to finish this by tomorrow as I need to fly back for my classes"
Fox couldn’t help but laugh saying, "An assassin going to university, how unusual"
He just chuckled with a snort before taking a read at the document that she passed to him.
"Lee Chang Yoo, CEO of Queens Entertainment. Second son of the boss of Hwangje Gang, one of the five largest gangs in Joseon"
Michael placed the document down and looked at Fox, "This is a big fish"
"Right?" smiled Fox and continued, "The other paper is his daily routine, study it and see what time you want to take him out"
Michael took the two papers, folded it and stuffed them inside his coat’s inner pockets and stared at Fox with a serious expression.
"Before I leave, give me your autograph and then let’s take a selfie with each other too"
Fox stared blankly at Michael and wondered if she’s suddenly hearing things.
"What..?"
