Chapter 250 – The Chinese Twin Brothers

Late at night.

Min Do-jun brought Hong Se-yeon to his guild office and served her a warm cup of tea.

“It’s chamomile. It should help calm your nerves a bit.”

“Thank you.”

The reason he brought her to the guild in the middle of the night wasn’t complicated.

“I’ve called someone to protect you, Se-yeon.”

“What? Who?”

“The most reliable person I could think of.”

A moment later, right on time, someone entered the office.

“Do-jun!”

It was Hwang Eui-cheol.

“You said you urgently needed help, so I came. What’s going on?”

Min Do-jun explained everything that had happened.

Of course, he omitted the unbelievable parts like teleportation and mind control.

“What kind of bastards would do such a thing! What era are we living in that people still resort to kidnapping?”

“They have a grudge against me. That’s why I was hoping you could protect the White Lotus Guild Master for a while, Teacher.”

“Sure, don’t worry.”

“Thank you.”

“No need to thank me. After what you did for me, it’s only natural that I help.”

He was referring to how Min Do-jun had actively helped when his daughter was being threatened.

‘I should memorize Se-yeon and Teacher’s scents just in case.’

Since his enhanced tracking skill had no limit on the number of scents it could remember, there was no reason not to.

‘The remaining cooldown on riding is 20 hours.’

In 20 hours, he could ride the Ghost Wolf and track down Jin Weizheng.

‘But that’s too long to wait.’

There was no benefit to letting him live any longer.

Min Do-jun booked a ticket to China on his phone.

It wasn’t a distant country, and he knew the location, so there was no reason to wait.

“Where are you going, Do-jun?”

Min Do-jun answered Hwang Eui-cheol’s question with a serious face.

“I’m going to pay them back in kind.”

“Alright. Go ahead. Don’t worry about things here.”

“Yes. I’ll be off then.”

Min Do-jun walked out of the office.

---

“Ah, so boring.”

Jin Weizheng, who had fled to a secret hideout in Guangdong Province, yawned and stretched.

He had been sitting and playing on his phone for six hours, so it was natural to feel bored.

“How long do I have to stay here?”

This gloomy place with no one to talk to was no different from a prison.

Still, it was secure, accessible only through a secret underground passage.

“I wonder how Min Do-jun survived falling off that cliff?”

As someone who had witnessed the fall firsthand, he found it particularly incomprehensible.

Adam’s order to hide from Min Do-jun was equally puzzling.

“What rank am I to be hiding from such a guy? I don’t understand. Is he really that strong?”

If he had heard that Min Do-jun’s combat power was 8 million, he might not have spoken so boldly, but Jin Weizheng knew very little about Min Do-jun.

“Even if he shows up, how could he kill me with my legendary items?”

A legendary helmet that reduced fatal strike damage by 90%.

A legendary armor that reduced physical damage by 30%.

With just these two items equipped, most attacks would barely scratch him.

“I’m dying of boredom. I almost wish this Min Do-jun would show up.”

“You wish I would show up?”

“Huh!”

As he turned his head toward the sudden voice.

Whiiiiing-!

Slish-slash-slash!

Ten wind blades instantly severed one of Jin Weizheng’s arms.

Thud-

“Aaaaargh!”

“Even with 90% damage reduction, it seems Gust Blade is still effective.”

“Urgh, you bread-eating bastard! You’ll pay for-“

Just as he was about to say “you’ll pay for this” and use teleport, Jin Weizheng was shocked.

“What? Trying to escape like you did at the cliff? Unfortunately, that’s impossible without an arm.”

Now he realized that the arm wearing the Twin Vampire Ring had been cut off.

When his arm was severed, the ring automatically went into his inventory.

Jin Weizheng touched the air with his remaining hand, trying to equip the ring on his other hand.

“Trying to wear it on your other hand? The right-hand ring won’t work on your left hand, you know.”

Just as Min Do-jun said, the option didn’t apply.

The Twin Vampire Rings had a clear distinction between left and right hands.

“You son of a-“

“How does it feel? Your arm’s been cut off, and you can’t use teleport.”

“Damn it. I can call a healer to reattach my arm-“

Whoosh!

Min Do-jun turned the severed arm to ashes with Hellfire.

“Oh dear. Looks like you’ll have to live as a one-armed man for the rest of your life.”

“You bastard!”

Jin Weizheng summoned a hammer in his left hand and swung it wildly.

But perhaps because he was using his unfamiliar hand, his form was terrible.

His accuracy was even worse.

Swish-

As Min Do-jun easily dodged, he cut off the remaining arm with Excalibur.

Slash-

“Aaaah, my, my arm!”

“Now it’s time to give up your attachment to arms.”

Slash-slash-slash-

As Min Do-jun completely shredded the arm that had fallen to the floor, Jin Weizheng’s face darkened.

“You son of a-“

Thwack!

With those words, Jin Weizheng took a blow to the face and passed out.

“He’s bleeding heavily.”

With both arms severed, Jin Weizheng looked like he might die at any moment from blood loss.

“You can’t die yet.”

Min Do-jun placed his hands on the stumps where Jin Weizheng’s arms had been cut off.

The wounds healed, and the bleeding stopped.

“Now, let’s call your brother.”

Min Do-jun searched Jin Weizheng’s pockets and found his phone.

When he tried to check it, he found it was locked.

With fingerprint recognition, no less.

This could have been a problem since the arm was gone, but Min Do-jun had Tarnhelm.

Swoosh-

After perfectly transforming into Jin Weizheng, Min Do-jun placed his thumb on the phone, and it unlocked.

“Let’s see. His brother’s name was Jin Weibai, right?”

Looking through the messages exchanged with Jin Weibai, the brothers seemed very close.

“Perfect. This will make it easy to lure him.”

Min Do-jun canceled the transformation and immediately called Jin Weibai.

-Little brother. I told you not to call at night. Don’t you know this is my sleeping time?

“You don’t have the luxury of lounging around sleeping right now.”

There was a long silence on the other end, likely from surprise at hearing an unfamiliar voice.

-Who… who are you? Who’s calling from my brother’s phone?

“Me? I’m the Grim Reaper, here to take you both to hell.”

-You’re talking nonsense, you bread-eater…

The way he said “bread-eater” indicated he recognized Min Do-jun.

-Where’s my brother… where’s my brother!

“If you want to save your brother, come here. You know where this is without me having to tell you.”

-You, you bastard!

“By the way, you’ll need to come by car. I cut off his hands so he can’t use that teleport of yours.”

-You, you son of a bitch!

From the panicked voice on the other end, it seemed he was checking whether teleport really wasn’t working.

-You, you haven’t killed my brother, have you?

“You can check the rankings to find out.”

-Let, let me hear his voice. I want to confirm he’s really there.

“Geez. So suspicious.”

Though grumbling, Min Do-jun transformed into Jin Weizheng.

Since he could mimic the voice too, it was easy to act the part.

“Brother…”

-Weizheng! Are, are you okay?

“Please save me…”

-Just wait a little! I’ll come rescue you-

“Come quickly. Unless you want to see your brother dead from blood loss.”

Min Do-jun spoke the last part in his own voice before hanging up.

Judging by the reaction, Jin Weibai would rush over immediately.

“I should prepare to welcome him.”

Min Do-jun propped the unconscious Jin Weizheng against a wall and then stealthily hid himself.

---

“Weizheng!”

Jin Weibai burst in, breathing heavily as if he had run all the way.

He looked around the hideout frantically, and his pupils dilated.

He had found his brother leaning against the wall.

“Weizheng!”

Seeing his brother’s horrific state with both arms missing, rage filled Jin Weibai’s eyes.

“Min Do-jun, you goddamn bastard! Come out!”

“Looking for me?”

As Jin Weibai turned toward the voice behind him.

He saw it.

A beam of death rushing toward him.

Boom-boom-boom-boom-boom!

Soul Explosion not only incinerated Jin Weibai but also Jin Weizheng, who was within range.

Rumble-

The beam hit the wall, shaking the entire building.

[You have killed Hunter Jin Weibai.]

[You have stolen the trait ‘Hardened Body.’]

[You have stolen 10 pieces of equipment.]

[You have killed Hunter Jin Weizheng.]

[You have stolen the trait ‘Strength Enhancement.’]

[You have stolen 9 pieces of equipment.]

With a surprise attack, he had killed both brothers instantly.

It was better than expected.

‘He died even with 90% damage reduction?’

Min Do-jun was surprised by the unexpectedly powerful damage.

‘It is my strongest skill, but to think it would be this powerful…’

He had used maximum output, accounting for the damage reduction.

‘I increased my magic power to 30,000 with Rampage and used 10 souls, including Kang Hyuk-su’s.’

As a result, two S-rank hunters disappeared without even a chance to counterattack.

‘With this level of damage, I could kill Adam in one hit too, right?’

If just 10% of the damage could do this much, 100% would be devastating.

If Adam couldn’t block it completely, he would at least be critically wounded.

‘He does have a reflection option, but that’s not a concern.’

With the Second Twin’s Blessing, there was no risk of death.

Having successfully killed the Chinese twin team, Min Do-jun checked his inventory.

‘Not bad loot.’

There were two sets of legendary equipment from each of them.

‘Adam must have equipped his transportation means well, but…’

As evident, even legendary items couldn’t protect them.

[Trait – Hardened Body]

• Grade: S
  
• Description: For every 10 levels, damage taken is reduced by 0.1%.
  

[Trait – Strength Enhancement]

• Grade: S
  
• Description: Increases strength by 50% of your level.
  

One was a defensive trait, the other offensive.

‘At my level of 4,450, damage taken would be reduced by 44.5%, and strength would increase by 2,225.’

They weren’t particularly impressive for S-grade traits, but they weren’t bad either.

‘So I’ve effectively cut off one of his legs.’

He had killed one of the two twin teams.

‘Now only the American twins remain.’

But knowing he could kill them in one hit, there seemed no need to target the twins first.

‘I should kill Adam first.’

If he used Rampage and 10 souls like just now, he could kill Adam with a surprise attack.

[Target with matching scent found.]

[Distance to target: 9,363.27 km]

…

[Distance to target: 9,373.32 km]

…

[Distance to target: 9,392.12 km]

The distance was changing moment by moment, as if Adam was on a plane, but there was no need to worry.

‘No matter where you go, you’re a mouse in a trap.’

Whether by plane or train, once the Ghost Wolf’s cooldown reset, Min Do-jun could catch up instantly.

‘The moment I catch up to you will be the day of your funeral.’

Min Do-jun left the hideout, eagerly waiting for the Ghost Wolf’s cooldown to reset as soon as possible.
