The Main Characters That Only I Know

Chapter 80:

Chapter 80

“You think you can mess with us and get away with it?”

In a cold alley where no one passed by.

A thug who had fallen to the ground raised his head with difficulty and spoke with a spiteful tone. 

Yu-hyun, who had been loosening his hands, shook his head as he heard that.

These guys always spat out the same patented words whenever the situation turned against them.

“Do you guys have some kind of macro or something? Or do you memorize a script?”

“What, what are you saying?”

“How can you all say the same thing?”

“This bastard is now…”

Thud!

Yu-hyun lightly stomped on the guy’s shin, and he clenched his teeth and swallowed a scream. 

Yu-hyun admired the guy’s face that was flushed with blood.

“Still, you have some guts for a thug, huh?”

“Huuk. Huuk.”

Yu-hyun lifted his foot, and the thug breathed heavily. 

Yu-hyun squatted down in front of him and looked him in the eye.

“Do you realize who you picked on today?”

“…”

The leader did not answer. 

Instead, he gritted his teeth and glared at Yu-hyun as if he wanted to kill him. 

He knew that the other party was much stronger than him, but he maintained that attitude because he had confidence in his back-up.

Yu-hyun sensed that it would not end with just subduing these guys.

“It’s annoying, but I can’t help it.”

He couldn’t leave them alone to bother Choi doyoon’s mother. 

If he stopped here, they would only harbor more resentment and harass her more persistently.

Just like pulling out weeds, he had to pull out the roots as well. 

If he started something, he had to finish it properly. 

That was Yu-hyun’s principle.

“Your office. Tell me.”

“…”

“I won’t ask twice.”

“You think I’ll tell you? Why? Are you regretting it now?”

“Regret? That’s funny.”

Yu-hyun chuckled and grabbed the guy’s hair roughly. 

He tilted his head back and stared at him with a fierce gaze.

“Do you think I asked you about your office because I wanted to apologize for beating you up?”

“Then, then…”

“Then, what? Of course, I’m going to wipe out all the rest of you guys too.”

The man shivered as he read the sincerity in Yu-hyun’s eyes. 

He realized that Yu-hyun was saying that without any bluff or exaggeration.

“You’re crazy. What do you think you can do by yourself? If you make a fuss, the police will move.”

“A thug talking about the police. Well, seeing how you do this stuff in broad daylight, you must have some connection with them.”

“So…”

“So, what? You think I’m afraid of the police? You think I care about them?”

“…Do you want to challenge the authority? If you do that, the collector squad will come out.”

The man tried to threaten him with a menacing tone, but Yu-hyun laughed softly. 

He felt an irresistible joy as he looked at the foolish man who still couldn’t guess his identity.

“Go ahead and try if you can. But that’s one thing, and this is another. Where is your office? Tell me everything.”

“Like hell I will! Go eat shit!”

“Hmm.”

Yu-hyun shrugged his shoulders as if he expected such a response from him. 

He didn’t really think he would answer right away. 

And Yu-hyun didn’t ask him because he wanted an answer.

“Hmm. Let me see. Your office is in the building at Seolhwa-ro 72nd street?”

“What?”

The man’s eyes widened at the information that came out of Yu-hyun’s mouth. How did he…? 

He realized his mistake too late and tried to fix his expression, but it was already too late for Yu-hyun.

“Why? Is it strange that I know?”

“You, could it be…! You knew from the beginning! Who sent you? Who paid you?!”

The man mistakenly thought that Yu-hyun had approached them knowing everything from the start. He thought of Yu-hyun as a hitman sent by someone else. 

Yu-hyun was grateful for his misunderstanding and didn’t bother to confirm or deny it.

“It doesn’t matter who sent me. What matters is that I knew everything about your office and who’s behind you from the start.”

“…”

“So why do you think I asked you what I already knew? Just to double-check if my information was right or wrong?”

“…”

“Of course not. I gave you a chance. You’re just grunts who don’t know anything and get screwed. That’s unfair, right? Right?”

Yu-hyun’s words felt like a snake crawling up their bodies and strangling their necks. 

His voice echoed in their ears and shook their brains. 

They felt chills running down their spines.

“But, you’re like this. Well, I can’t help it.”

“W-what are you going to do to us?”

“I’m not going to do anything. You can’t move anyway with your current condition, and you’ll need a few weeks of recovery. I won’t do anything.”

“What?”

“But, your office colleagues might be different.”

Yu-hyun’s words made the man’s face turn pale as if he had noticed something.

“I’m going to your office and make a mess inside. And when the guys there ask me who the hell I am, I’ll answer them like this. I’ll call out your names and say that thanks to you, I could find them easily.”

“What, what?! You crazy bastard! Who do you think will believe that?!”

Another one shouted with spite, but it was nothing but denial of reality.

“You don’t want to believe it, do you? But when your office is turned into a wasteland by a stranger who suddenly appeared, and you’re ruined to the point where you can’t operate anymore, how do you think they’ll react to what I said?”

They betrayed us. 

They leaked the location of our organization, and that’s why this happened.

As soon as that happens, the next step would be obvious without saying.

“You know what happens to traitors in this business, don’t you?”

“Y-you crazy bastard!”

“Yep. I like that word.”

Yu-hyun smiled and got up from his seat. He had smashed all their mobile devices, and they couldn’t do anything to escape from here with their arms and legs broken.

No one would call the police. 

If anyone came first, it would be someone much scarier than the police.

“Look forward to it. I always keep my word.”

“Hey, hey you crazy bastard! Why! What did we do to you!”

The man, who felt belatedly wronged, shouted as if he wanted to grab Yu-hyun who was leaving.

“What did we do to you! Why are you doing this shit!”

“Don’t you remember what you did earlier?”

“Yo-you mean just because of that…”

When he pointed out the part where they tried to kick him out of the store, the man lost his color. 

No way, just because of that?

“That’s not all. But you guys touched me anyway. Not just me, but other people too. Didn’t you think that someday this would happen to you if you did this kind of thing?”

“…”

“From your reaction, it doesn’t seem like it. Too bad. You should learn from this opportunity.”

Yu-hyun turned his back on them as if he had nothing more to see.

“Just because you don’t have that much resolve and do this job.”

The desperate screams from behind couldn’t even catch his coat. 

It was just that.

Yu-hyun went out of the alley and immediately did some work near the alley.

He engraved letters on the wall using some of the text he had.

It was a skill of the title [Engraver] that he acquired while awakening Baekryeon.

Engraver could use engravings on objects to exert special powers, and the most common way was to use text combinations.

What Yu-hyun did this time was a kind of soundproof barrier that blocked the noise.

Of course, it consumed text points, but the amount was so small that it didn’t matter. 

Rather, with such a small amount of points, he could use various engravings depending on the situation, so it was a very versatile ability in terms of usability.

“If I do this, there won’t be any sound leaking out.”

The sorrowful cries for life were trapped inside the alley and echoed like echoes.

Even if they screamed their throats out in there, no one outside would hear them and help them.

They had nothing to do but wait for their former colleagues who were filled with malice in the dark and damp alley.

Yu-hyun returned to the store and saw Choidoyun’s mother who was worried since earlier. 

She ran up to him as soon as she saw him and asked.

“A-are you okay?”

“Yes. I’m fine.”

“What about those people…”

“Don’t worry. I sent them away nicely.”

“R-really?”

“I’m a teller, so it’s easy for me to handle these things. And you don’t have to worry. Those guys won’t come here again.”

Yu-hyun said that and secretly moved his fingers and used [Engraver]’s power.

The place was in front of the snack bar’s door. 

The content of the engraving was to block intruders and notify him if something happened.

It took some time because it was a double engraving, but it wasn’t difficult.

As he snapped his fingers, the letters that flowed from his fingertips formed sentences and were engraved on the front door of the snack bar like tattoos, then disappeared as if they melted away.

The lady didn’t notice the process.

‘It’s a bit annoying to combine letters into sentences, but it’s pretty good?’

Yu-hyun felt that his ability to use text had improved a lot thanks to becoming a teller. 

With this, he could use engravings to attack the enemy’s weak points in combat.

He thought so and greeted the lady.

“Then, I’ll be going now.”

“Oh, thank you so much for today.”

They parted like that, and Yu-hyun’s footsteps headed to another place.

“Well, shall I go and take care of the rest?”

He checked the power of [Engraver]’s title lightly and moved to the office written in their book with light steps.

***

An architectural office used for regional redevelopment.

The door of the office where a dozen burly men were gathered was smashed with a loud noise.

“What, what is this!”

“An enemy!”

“Who the hell are you!”

They all scowled fiercely and glared at the intruder. 

Unlike what they had expected, the other party was only one person.

He was a man who looked like he was in his mid-twenties. 

He was quite tall and handsome with sharp features. 

But the smile on his lips felt somewhat creepy.

More than anything, his confident attitude.

He definitely had something.

“Who do you think you are, barging in here like this!”

They couldn’t just let him go, so the youngest one stepped forward and shouted at him. 

At the same time, his body flew several meters in the air and slammed into the wall.

Boom!

With a loud noise, he slid down the wall and fell to the floor. 

The thugs’ eyes shook violently as they saw their colleague. 

They could guess the other’s identity from his extraordinary strength.

“He’s a collector!”

“What the hell! Why did a collector suddenly come!”

They couldn’t rashly attack him if he was a collector. 

They would end up with no bones left. Yu-hyun whistled lightly as he saw that.

They were surprisingly spirited for being surprised.

“I’ll handle him.”

A man came forward. 

He was different from the one who had blindly charged at him before.

“You’re a collector too?”

The other was a collector. 

It was strange that a collector would do this kind of thing, but some of the lower collectors who couldn’t make a contract with a teller early on fell into this side.

Besides, they were definitely stronger than ordinary people, so they were born to use their power.

“But to hire someone like a collector, you must have some serious back-up, huh?”

Yu-hyun smiled and said that. 

The other didn’t answer and swung his baseball bat in his hand.

A bat swung by an ordinary person was dangerous, but a bat swung by a collector was even more dangerous. 

It wouldn’t end with just breaking bones if it hit.

But.

Clang!

Yu-hyun caught the swinging bat with his bare hand. 

The thugs looked at him with incredulous eyes and Yu-hyun smiled at them.

“I accidentally caught a big fish.”

Then merciless violence engulfed them.
