Chapter 26

After the battle in the stalker's hotel room, I shoved his mouth with a towel from his room. And after checking his room, I see some stuff that a man shouldn't have. Girl's underwear. He has some of them in his room.

"Don't tell me that they're Bora's stuffs. He's disgusting," I said.

[You're not excited seeing a girl's underwear?] G asked.

"I can only be excited when seeing them being worn by pretty girl. If it's just the underwear, I'm not interested," I said before I continue checking his room.

[You're not going to return them to Bora?]

"As if she wants them back. Who knows what he used them for? It's best to leave it here so when the cops arrived, they can see the evidences that he's the stalker. From the look of it, it seems like he has sneaked into Bora's room several times after she stayed here. Not just to install hidden cameras. But also to steal her underwear. He probably did other unspeakable things in her room," I said.

[Unspeakable? It's different from your "Unspeakable" that you can't tell us, right?]

"Big different."

My unspeakable stuff is about my previous life. I can't say that because I'm cursed to be electrocuted when I try to say them. I can't even teach anyone about the symbols inside magic circle. At least until I break the curse once I reach level 8 as a magician. But that will not be anytime soon perhaps.

"By the way, do you want your fingers to be attached back on your hand again?" I asked the stalker after I grabbed the fingers I cut from his hand.

He's currently being tied with a rope so he can't do anything. He has no weapon with him. I guess he's pretty confident with his speed.

When he tried to attack me before, I used my knife to cut his fingers. He's an inexperienced idiot who reaches out toward his enemy with an open hand trying to grab his opponent. But he's not a wrestler or a judo expert. He just thought he can do that.

So when his hand got closer, I quickly cut down his fingers simply by using Enchant magic on my knife. That's enough to make it sharper and able to cut the flesh and bones of a level 3 warrior. So the stalker has his index finger, middle finger, and ring finger severed.

Because he never felt that pain, it became easy to subdue him. Now he didn't even bother to fight back.

To my question, he nodded his head repeatedly. He can't speak because his mouth is being covered. So he can only nod.

"That will depend on Bora. She will be here soon. Though personally, I want to step on your fingers right in front of you to see your reaction knowing that your fingers will never return," I said.

Yeah, I have a sadistic way of thinking. Being in a gang, we rule with fear.

Soon after, someone arrived. It's Frank. As for Bora, she hasn't reached here yet.

"…You cut his fingers?" Frank asked.

"Whoa, you must be a genius at seeing," I said sarcastically.

"How did you find the stalker so quickly?" Frank asked.

"Someone can actually do it much faster if she had just focused on this job more when she hacks things. She's still not used to this kind of job. If she found out that this guy has been entering the same hotel as Bora soon after every time she moved to a different hotel, we could just come here right away," I said.

[I'm sorry, okay. And you should have told me about it beforehand,] G said.

"I thought that since you have been helping with finding information for a long time, you should have been able to realize what you need to do. I guess you're still not experienced in this. Well, we both are. So let's improve our efficiency from today, partner. And stalker. You're not much different than him," I said to G as I pointed at Bora's stalker.

[Let's stop here. Bora is already here.]

She changes the topic as quick as she can hack. Well, that's fine.

Soon after Bora is here in the stalker's room. I covered the stalker's hand and his fingers on the ground just in case she couldn't handle seeing blood.

I showed her the things that the stalker took from her room. And the beautiful face frowned in disgust for the first time.

"Arrest him. No, wait. Kill him. I don't feel safe even if he's in prison," Bora said.

"Hmmmph! Hmph!"

The stalker tried to resist. He doesn't want to die.

"Before that, I want to hear his excuse first," I said.

So I removed the towel covering his mouth.

"Please spare me, Bora! I regret doing what I did!" he begged.

"I just want to ask you why you did it. Did you do it alone or perhaps you got help from someone. I want to make sure that this mission is over," I said.

Then he told us how he started stalking Bora. And it was a horrible.

So he really got help. And it was from another fan who supplied him with hidden cameras. At least he thinks that the other party is a fan. 

He told us where and when they met. And I had a bad feeling after hearing that.

"G, investigate everything that you found about the other guy's identity. I feel like something bad is happening," I said.

After a few minutes, she finally got it.

[The one helping this stalker to stalk Bora is one of the suspicious security guards that the agency hired! And it seems like they're planning to kidnap the two members of Wishing Well who are superhumans!]

"…Of course you only noticed it now. You must have enjoyed talking with us so much that you forgot to investigate about them. Well, at least we now know what happened. This stalker is just a distraction for the members of the group to focus on Bora. When in fact they are aiming for the two superhuman members," I said.

"But why? And does it mean that the agency is involved?!" Bora asked.

I ignored her. And instead, I stabbed the stalker in the heart to kill him after realizing that we can't get any more information from him.

"Well, now we have finished the mission. Bora, the reward please," I said. Asking for the reward shamelessly.

"After you learn that my friends are being targeted?!"

"Yes. They are not part of my mission. If you want me to protect them, you can give another commission to us. Of course the reward will need to be bigger than this one," I said.

"Shameless! You are shameless! How could you find out about all that and only care about the reward?!" Frank shouted. He's the one who said that he didn't want to take care of another problem before though. He only wanted to finish this mission.

"Then you can go and protect those two. I'll stay until she gives me our reward. I will get G to split the reward evenly between the three of us. Even though I did many things by myself. And G helped a little," I said.

"Fine, I'll pay you!" Bora said.

"And what do we do about this guy?" I asked Frank.

"We can get the cops to help us. Or we can just use the cleaning service from the app and they will come and clean up everything," Frank said. Still looks angry at me.

"Then let's ask for the cleaning service. This way, we don't have to stay here any longer," I said.

Soon after, Bora showed me the screen of her phone. To show me that she has paid me for the commission I completed.

"Well, thanks for the reward. If you excuse me, I have something important to do," I said as I tried to leave.

"Wait, I haven't finished putting my request to you guys. Wait a bit and then help my friends!" Bora said as she tapped on the screen of her phone rapidly.

"No need for that. Now that the mission is over, I don't need to act like a pro anymore. But now, it's personal. I'm going to save them so you can keep the money for yourself," I said.

"Personal? Wait, you're going to save them?" Bora asked.

"I'm half a fan of your group after all. It will be a shame if your group disbanded out of nowhere. So I will help," I said.

Bora looks relieved hearing that. And I can see Frank is all smiles now hearing that.

"That's great! Let's go help them as their fans! Though why are you calling yourself as half a fan?" Frank asked as he wrapped his arm around my shoulder in an extremely friendly manner. 

"I'm half a fan because only half of their songs are good. The rest are horrible. Their third single for example. It's nothing good at all. It's popular because of the choreography and not for the song. I want to hear good song not see great dancing," I said.

Then I told the relieved Bora to return to her room and lock the door. I also told G to watch the other members of the girl band including the manager.

The other two who are not superhumans returned home safely. But the superhumans members of the group are being chased.

"Tell me where they are going. Let's rescue them. Tell them to resist when they can but not too much that they will end up getting themselves harmed trying to resist. We'll be coming soon," I said to G.

[Sure. But still, why are they aiming for the superhumans? Bora should be the most beautiful one in the group, right?] G asked.

"In the end, Bora is not a superhuman. Her beauty will disappear as she ages. While the other two can still grow prettier if their level increased. Maybe the kidnapper wanted them for collection. So they will continue to grow prettier and will be used by the kidnapper however they like," I said.

I'm probably right. That's what I feared.

Superhumans will be worth more money. A beautiful female superhuman, especially if she's a virgin, will be worth even more because she can still grow prettier if she increases her class' level. I haven't seen human trafficking in this world but if it's similar to the one in my world then I should be right.

Not that I have involved myself in it. It's just the rival gang who usually did it. And my gang would free the captured people. Those without a home can join our gang. In the end, we gained new recruits easily and their loyalty to us is unquestionable because we rescued them.

"G, have the girls been kidnapped yet?" I asked.

[Not yet. They are still being chased.]

"Tell the other two members to be careful as well. What about the manager?" I asked.

[The manager is… with one of the superhuman members! She's not a superhuman so will she be safe?] G asked.

"No. She will suffer. She's pretty and she's not the target. So the kidnapper can do anything they want to her since the other two are the important targets. Well, that's just in case they are from human trafficking organization. If they are rapists, then all three of them are already in danger," I said.

Though with how much preparation they made to annoy Bora and even use fake security guards, they should have a lot of money. So it's highly likely that they are from human trafficking organization.

Well, I will know about it soon enough.
