237 – [4] Certain Weakness
#237
It was truly an amazing thing.
Did someone like the cartel’s deputy leader really not know this?
The fear of SNS in this day and age!
Oh my god, my friends at Nartica Security Department had no idea that even if they did a little rummaging, not only my account but also sensitive information would come out.
You could say it was a fake account, but that was unlikely.
According to what the attendants still remaining in Arecibo tracked based on SNS information, everything was true.
– “Yes, yes, I live in that location according to the information you provided. There are about three or three people who appear to be bodyguards. However, if you look at their roughness, they don’t seem to be that great people.”
– “As Chief Hunter said, the people we hang out with are always consistent. But if you see him walking around on a regular basis, he just seems like a gangster.”
– “Are you doing drugs? Drugs…… From what I’ve seen so far, it doesn’t seem to work. “He doesn’t look like a druggie at all.”
– “It seems like your skills are quite amazing. We also confirmed that he entered the B-class gate alone and broke it to come out. It was also confirmed that he completely trampled his opponent in sparring.”
– “But my nationality is Irish, but no matter how I look at it, I don’t think I am Irish. Like some British people, they are demons. It has a devil tail and horns…….”
This is why SNS is scary.
This gives room for all information to be tracked with just name, age, and nationality.
A place where the intelligence reduction debuff is basic.
It is not for nothing that cartel leaders and their children are assassinated or arrested for posting nonsense on social media.
“Huyu.”
For reference, the house where the male leader’s daughter lives is 15 minutes away from me and Cheonmari’s house.
It is about 40 minutes away from Shannon’s house.
If they got it wrong, they could kidnap it and throw it into the Atlantic Ocean.
Or something…… Or just make them slaves of Nartica.
“I’m glad you don’t want anything wrong with your child attending Palaistra Academy.”
“Yes, because I understand. Please, just my daughter…….”
“Try not to touch it. “If you keep this promise.”
Clear weakness.
I was able to see what kind of existence my daughter was to this person.
You will be able to use it well in the future.
Honestly, I didn’t expect it to be revealed so honestly, but if it’s good, it’s probably good.
I motioned for him to sit down again.
He sat down crying, which was unbecoming of his large size.
“Do you know what? “This matter is a complete secret except for a few people.”
“…… Secret? “That’s natural—”
“Not this meeting, but the police and the security company. Do you know why they don’t know about this?”
“…… “You don’t know?”
“Isn’t it strange that this incident was reported in the media and there was no police investigation? “It’s also the case that the security company never visited.”
There was clearly a camera or sensing device.
No matter how much we tried to avoid and break through, there was nothing we could do about what was captured on the camera on the road when we entered and retreated.
But why did no one give feedback?
It was truly a mystery.
“Well, judging by your reaction now, it looks like you weren’t very interested.”
“Well, that’s…” … !”
“Well, the first thing I said when I contacted you last time was to make the boss’s disappearance permanent. “He was a person with such low loyalty that he just carried it out.”
“… ….”
He did not deny it.
For this reason, I decided not to answer the question of how it was drilled.
It was just something that only a few people in Nartica needed to know.
What equipment was used, what bribes were paid, and what was destroyed.
There was a short silence.
The chef served the food.
It was my first time seeing meat food.
The chef spoke some unidentifiable French and left.
It was the turn to raise the spoon, but neither one raised the spoon.
As dawn approached, the silence was about to become endless.
“By the way, did you bring the items we lent you?”
“Something you borrowed? “Are you talking about an old video player?”
I nodded.
The male leader gestured to the security guard who barely stood up again.
It was still painful, but I had to do it.
The security guard opened the back door and went out, bringing out a VHS player.
The plastic case is old and has faded slightly from black.
Items worth going to the museum.
“Just give it to this person here.”
The security guard handed the VHS player to Cheonmaly.
As soon as he received the thousand, he started looking around.
I looked into the hole where the VHS tape goes, pushed the button, and carefully shook it to hear the sound.
He seemed to know how to manage things like an owner.
“I’m fine. It looks like it might be a little dusty. “I think you can do that by watching a cleaning video.”
I made a promise and received the rental item.
Then the business was over.
I stood up from my seat.
The male leader looked at me in confusion.
“Then, enjoy your meal with your bodyguard. “We paid the money, so don’t worry.”

“Sleep, wait a minute. Are you leaving like this?”
“Because I have nothing more to do.”
They looked at me as if I was strange.
Then the gaze asks, “What was it that you threatened to leave earlier?”
However, there was business at the time.
There was no business for either side at the moment.
“Gye, is it okay to not write a contract? Or recording─”
“Are you afraid we might break our promise?”
“Oh, no, that’s not it… ….”
“If you are worried about harm to your daughter.”
I turned my head.
I looked down at him with my hands in my pockets.
“As long as it doesn’t pose a direct or indirect threat to us, we won’t do anything, so don’t worry.”
“That…… Well then, I’m glad…….”
“What reason would there be for us to touch your daughter first? “The current situation is ideal in the first place.”
Well, you may encounter them while living at the academy.
But there will be nothing more than that.
Of course, I had some personal questions and curiosities, but I didn’t have any intention of confirming them.
As for his daughter, if nothing special happens, she will be able to attend the academy normally.
“Of course, I have to maintain at least some contact with them… ….”
I approached the counter.
Then, I borrowed the notepad and pen that were there and wrote something down.
A short combination of English, numbers, and special characters and the name of an application.
I placed it on the table in front of me.
“This is my secure messenger ID. Below are the names of the mobile phone apps.”
“…… Secure Messenger?”
“If you register my ID here, you will be able to contact me.”
“Ah… ….”
“However, we will not be able to give you an answer right away. And if you make a fool of yourself with this, we will take action that day.”
Don’t think nonsense.
If you do something stupid, I won’t leave your daughter alone.
Of course, even if you do something stupid on a messenger, it won’t pose much of a threat.
Because a security messenger is not a security messenger for nothing.
“Then, let’s make sure we don’t have to meet again next time.”
“Wait!”
“Yes?”
They caught us to see if we still had any questions.
I tilted my head.
“Our boss! Old boss! “Exactly what happened to that person!”
“I’m sure you’ll be doing well.”
You will be moving towards a new life and new dreams.
Soon, I will become a person who does wonderful and wholesome work that makes many people smile.
The downside is that the profits go straight into Cheonmaly’s pockets.
“No! Even if no one else knows! “Couldn’t you tell me what really happened to the boss?”
Uneasy eyes.
There was a vagueness in his gaze, as if his future would be like that.
However, I did not want to tell all the facts.
I had no intention of showing what I had.
Just as I was about to say something.
A thousand birds stopped him from approaching me.
“Huh…… Really.”
A thousand birds laughing.
She crossed her arms and shook her head at her male leader.
“Boss nobleman.”
“Huh?”
“Is that important now?”
Speak informally openly.
His pupils dilated as he saw the woman, who was a bodyguard, behaving informally.
He showed an attitude of trying to say something, but it was soon retracted.
It seemed like he realized something about Cheonmae.
“The boss just left to find his own life. I understand it that way. “If you don’t understand, remember it that way.”
“…… I get it.”
Heads were nodded.
There was nothing more to see.
With those words, we left the store.
The dark riverside illuminated by the moon caught my eye.
“This is why there is a saying among hunters not to use SNS.”
It was just a thought.
* * *
Time passed again.
The troublesome work has been completed and I am relatively free.
Is that why it is like that?
Cheonmaly whined that she was bored, and Shannon headed home first.
I couldn’t just play, so I put off the things I used to do.
Issues of relatively low importance were quickly concluded.
A representative example was the blue gem obtained in the dungeon before vacation.
A somewhat unusual item that did not yield a good conclusion even when analyzed using Hunter Watch.
To confirm accurately, it was necessary to contact appraisers.
They would be able to know about this unidentified gem.
Luckily, there were many appraisal offices in Limerick, proving that it is the center of European hunters.
Rather, the price was lower than Arecibo, and the size of the office was also much larger.
“If I have anything to appraise later, I’ll just have to come here.”
Among them, I went to a place that had a moderately good internet rating.
I didn’t go to any place that got more than 5 or 4.8 Out of 5.
Instead, I headed to a place with a reasonable number of reviews, around 4.5 Points.
This was a judgment based on personal experience.
The places with abnormally high scores often had worse results than those of local grandmothers, perhaps because they used part-time jobs.
Of course, those grandmothers are elves whose ages are impossible to tell who roam the far north.
“Please appraise this jewel here.”
“I understand.”
People in suits took the jewels and put them in various machines and rotated the jewels.
After about an hour, the jewel was returned to my hand along with some documents.
“Oh.”
When I scattered the documents, it turned out that it was an item I knew about through the game.
It could be said that the place where these items would be used was determined.
“First of all, we can process it and then bring it to you.”
I left it to a good jeweler in Limerick.
An object that was just a rough gem was transformed into a ring.
A jewel ring with an expensive feel.
But selling this was short-sighted.
I kept it deep in my bag.
And I loaded all my luggage into the rental car.
Now there is only one thing left to do.
“Gangsi, there’s nothing special to do in Ireland anymore, right?”
“Except for going to Shannon, right?”
Last destination in Ireland.
Shannon’s hometown.
We will head to Waterville.
