Chapter 200 – Threatening Video

After conquering the dungeon, the twin brothers arrived at their lodging and showered first.

It was to wash away the smell of blood.

“Ah, that feels refreshing.”

Despite having murdered nine people, there wasn’t a trace of guilt on their faces.

In fact, they were planning to commit one more murder when they returned to Korea.

“Brother, did you book the return flight tickets?”

“Yeah. We leave in the morning. Should I book one for you too?”

“No. I shouldn’t leave immigration records, so I’ll follow you using Teleport.”

“Alright. Just relax at the lodging while I go ahead.”

With Teleport at their disposal, there was no need for both of them to travel together.

Though they couldn’t use it recklessly all the time.

“Brother, I’m not sleepy at all. Want to go get a massage?”

“Why not?”

The brothers casually left their lodging and took a taxi.

There was no trace of mass murderers in their demeanor as they exchanged pleasantries with the taxi driver.

“We’ve arrived.”

“Here’s a tip.”

“Oh, thank you very much!”

The brothers, who had even cheerfully given a tip, got out of the taxi and were about to enter the building when:

“Huh?”

Turning their heads, they saw a familiar face on the roadside.

It was Choi Woo-hyun, his own face.

‘Holy shit!’

Choi Woo-hyun was startled, thinking he was seeing a ghost.

But his brother saw differently.

“Brother, it’s that bastard! The one who transformed into your face!”

Choi Woo-hyun finally realized the figure wasn’t a ghost.

“Is it you? The one who killed Pil-young hyung and injured my brother?”

“Yes. It’s me.”

Choi Woo-hyun felt a chill run down his spine at the grinning face.

‘He looks exactly like me!’

He had heard the face was transformed, but what if it was actually his real face?

It would be quite shocking.

“Woo-jin, how did this bastard know to find us here?”

“I-I don’t know?”

It was strange that they’d encounter him in front of a massage parlor they had spontaneously decided to visit, not even at the dungeon.

‘Does he have some kind of tracking ability like a hunting dog?’

Regardless, what mattered was that the person they needed to kill had appeared on his own.

“This is perfect. We were planning to find you when we got back to Korea, but you’ve saved us the trouble by showing up.”

“Do you know who I am?”

“You bastard, you’re Min Do-jun, we know everything!”

Choi Woo-jin growled, but the opponent merely shrugged.

“Let’s not talk here. Let’s go somewhere quieter. Follow me.”

With those words, he started walking ahead, leaving the twin brothers looking at him with bewildered expressions.

‘How dare he turn his back on us.’

‘Is he out of his mind?’

It was a perfect position for an ambush, but the brothers restrained themselves.

They couldn’t commit murder in a place with CCTV, even in a foreign country.

‘If we’re going to kill him, it should be somewhere without witnesses.’

They didn’t even consider the possibility of losing.

The two were already feeling invincible after killing nine S-rank hunters.

As they followed, constantly looking for an opportunity, the brothers’ eyes lit up.

Their target had conveniently entered an alley with no people around.

‘This is perfect – no CCTV and ideal for an ambush.’

With that thought, they began equipping their hunter gear when the target turned his head.

“Wait a moment. Someone’s passing by.”

“What?”

The brothers, who were about to draw their weapons, held their breath.

As their target had said, footsteps could be heard.

A moment later, a drunk passerby walked through the alley.

Hidden in the darkness, they weren’t discovered.

“Alright. It’s safe now.”

When they looked at their target again, his face had already changed to a different one.

It was Min Do-jun’s face.

“So it was you after all.”

“I knew it was you!”

“Oh, yes. Congratulations. Should I give you a prize?”

Min Do-jun, who had been clapping halfheartedly, took out a tablet PC from his pocket.

The twins’ faces hardened as he played a pre-prepared video.

It was footage of them killing Go Du-sik.

“What would happen if I uploaded this video to the internet? You’d probably go to prison, right?”

“You fucking bastard…”

Choi Woo-jin, who hadn’t realized they were being recorded, trembled with rage.

“Don’t be too upset. You’re not the only one going to prison.”

Min Do-jun then played another video.

It showed Choi Woo-hyun killing Kim Pil-young.

In reality, Min Do-jun had killed him with the ghost sword, but the clever editing made it impossible to tell.

“What the hell! What is this fucking video!”

Choi Woo-hyun shook with anger.

Since he hadn’t been at the scene, he couldn’t help but feel wronged.

“That wasn’t me!”

“I know. But will the public think the same when they see this?”

If it was proven not to be a manipulated video, it would be decisive evidence of murder.

The brothers would inevitably end up in prison.

Realizing this, killing intent flowed from the twins’ eyes.

They even drew their weapons as if ready to tear him apart right there, but Min Do-jun remained calm.

“What? Planning to kill me and destroy the evidence?”

“Hand it over while I’m still asking nicely.”

“Alright. Here you go.”

Min Do-jun tossed the tablet without hesitation.

Choi Woo-hyun caught it with a bewildered expression, but the reason soon became clear.

“You don’t think this is the original, do you?”

“…Give me the original.”

“Why should I?”

“Do you want to die?”

“Killing me won’t stop the videos from spreading. I’ve set up scheduled emails to be sent to the police station in an hour. I’ve also scheduled uploads to YouTube.”

“……”

If this was true, killing Min Do-jun wouldn’t prevent the videos from being made public.

Rather, they needed to persuade him not to release the videos, not kill him.

Of course, there was another option.

‘What if we torture him and force him to cancel the scheduled uploads…?’

They considered using force to persuade him, but the brothers knew:

Subduing a strong opponent like Min Do-jun was even harder than killing him.

‘Damn. We’re completely cornered.’

The twin brothers, who had been thoroughly caught, suppressed their anger and asked:

“What do you want…?”

“That’s more like it.”

Satisfied with their change in attitude, Min Do-jun stated his demands.

“Justin Walker, Shin Kyung-min, Kang Hyuk-su, Seo Jin-cheol. Tell me everything you know about them.”

The four people mentioned were targets for his revenge.

The more information he had for his revenge, the better.

‘My own information is limited.’

But the twin hunters weren’t the type to reveal information just because they were asked nicely.

‘There’s no guarantee they’d talk even under torture.’

That’s why he came up with the idea of threatening them with the videos.

Fortunately, it seemed to be working as the hunters’ killing intent subsided.

“If I’m not satisfied with your answers, you’ll end up in prison, understand?”

“…Alright.”

The twins shared what they knew in a disorganized manner.

Most of it was useless information.

But occasionally, they revealed something valuable.

“I’ve had beer with Hunter Seo Jin-cheol a few times. He uses dual swords as his main weapon and lives in Jungnang-gu, Seoul. I don’t know his exact address, but I heard he was a high school classmate of Hunter Shin Kyung-min.”

‘So he knows Shin Kyung-min?’

Surprisingly, the twins also had information about Justin Walker.

“I haven’t seen him personally, but I’ve heard that Justin Walker’s one-hit damage is incredible. It’s probably due to his characteristic, but there are rumors that he can take down mid-bosses in a single hit, though not main bosses.”

There wasn’t much other useful information.

They also revealed what they knew about Shin Kyung-min and Kang Hyuk-su, but most of it was already known to Min Do-jun.

“Are we done? We’ve told you everything we know.”

“Now keep your promise, cancel the scheduled uploads and hand over the original.”

But Min Do-jun still didn’t look satisfied.

“Is this really all you know?”

“That’s what I’m saying! We’ve been talking for over 30 minutes. What more do you want?”

“How much more do you expect us to say?”

The twins, who had been reluctant, now pressed him with urgent expressions.

“It’s almost been an hour. Hurry up and delete them as promised.”

“If they get uploaded by mistake, you know what will happen.”

“What will happen?”

The twin hunters raised their weapons again.

“If we’re going to prison anyway, you die, we die, everyone dies.”

They threatened him with intense gazes, but Min Do-jun remained unfazed.

“Really? That sounds interesting. Go ahead, try it.”

“…Are you serious?”

“Yes. Kill me if you can.”

His confident attitude confused the twin brothers.

“Just cancel the scheduled uploads. We’ll let you live.”

“I can’t cancel them. I’ve already sent them.”

“What?”

Min Do-jun chuckled at their reactions, finding them amusing.

“I said there was an hour left before sending, but in reality, there was less than 30 minutes.”

“……”

“30 minutes have long passed, so the emails have probably been sent and the videos uploaded to YouTube.”

“Fucking hell, stop lying.”

“Check YouTube if you want to know whether I’m lying. Search for ‘Kim Pil-young’ and it should come up.”

The twins immediately searched for Kim Pil-young on the tablet Min Do-jun had given them.

They found a video that had been uploaded just 10 minutes ago.

“Holy shit!”

“This bastard really uploaded it!”

The crime video showing the murder scene in explicit detail was right there for all to see.

The only fortunate thing was that it had only been uploaded a few minutes ago, so the view count was still in single digits.

“It’s not too late! Delete it quickly!”

“Why should I?”

“Shut up and delete it, you bastard!”

“Even if I delete it, won’t you still go to prison? I sent emails to the police station, remember?”

“Y-you fucking bastard! This is different from what you promised!”

“You’re the idiot for believing me. Right?”

“You son of a bitch!”

Unable to contain his sudden rage, Choi Woo-jin charged explosively.

His battle axe came down like it was splitting firewood.

However, what happened in just a few seconds appeared very slow to Min Do-jun.

“Don’t worry too much.”

KWANG-!

The battle axe that came down was deflected upward.

It was because Min Do-jun had struck the center of the axe with even greater force.

“I have no intention of sending you to prison.”

Choi Woo-jin, who was staggering from the recoil, widened his eyes.

Min Do-jun’s sword was aimed at his heart.

“Die.”

Just as the sword was about to pierce his chest… WOONG-

Choi Woo-jin’s skin turned golden.

TING-!

Min Do-jun showed a surprised expression for the first time.

‘It was blocked?’

Without time to think deeply, he leaped backward.

Flames that passed by with a hair’s breadth hit the building wall.

KWAKWAKWANG!

Looking up, he saw flames flickering at the end of Choi Woo-hyun’s staff.

“Woo-jin! Are you okay?”

“Yeah, thanks to you.”

“Let’s kill this bastard quickly.”

Killing intent poured from the brothers’ eyes.

Min Do-jun smirked at the sight.

“Interesting. To think you could block my attack.”

Min Do-jun’s sword blade was tinged with rainbow colors.

“Is that the effect of a characteristic?”

“Do you think I’d tell you if you asked? You idiot.”

“Fair enough.”

Min Do-jun, who had been nodding his head, suddenly changed his gaze to a cold one.

“I’ll just have to find out by killing you.”
