"Hmm~"
"Hm~ Hm~ Hm~"
A humming tune of a melody and the cheerful smile of a beautiful lover. The first week of January and a year without snowfall.
Alice was in a joyful mood.
"You seem pretty happy."
"Well~ Of course, I am~ I was so excited last night that I couldn't get a wink of sleep~" Alice replied cheerfully.
Listening to this Shin smiled wryly. Last night they had to eat takeout for dinner. Reina and Alice were so enthusiastic about choosing dresses last night that Shin had to sleep alone.
At this moment an announcement sounded.
[I am captain Brock of this flight no. 1223. Please be at ease and have a happy journey with us...]
...
Yes, they were inside an airplane. Although Polaris city is only 6 hours route via car. It's not recommended to take that route.
There are many monster bets and dungeons there. So people travel accompanied by an Awakened.
Most of the Awakened go hunting in the field to level up. The range is wide and competition is less.
If they are lucky enough to encounter a rare material or an item. It's their fortune.
Well, Shin had no time to explore. Currently, his goal was Polaris city. To be more precise, 'the Scrap Dungeon'. A dungeon that was determined to be a waste but it turned out to be a treasure.
"Aaaahhh"
Snapping him out of his thoughts a scream sounded.
"Don't move." A man shouted.
'What's going on?' Shin frowned.
"The plane is hijacked." Someone shouted.
"Everyone stay where you are or don't blame us for being ruthless." As soon as that man said that. Five more people stood up. They were probably together.
'What???' Shin's eyes widened.
'No way, why only at this time? Am I cursed, or what? I was going via airplane to avoid trouble. But trouble just found its way to me.' Shin thought while sighing in annoyance.
'They don't have any guns. So they are probably awakeneds.' Shin thought and used his Magic eyes.
All of them were at the average of rank C. Their levels were in the '40s. Taking them down was an easy thing, but others may get hurt.
"Just sit where you are and don't try anything." One of the Hijackers shouted as his palms were covered in purple light. He had a wicked grin on his face.
At this moment few awakened passengers tried to fight against them but failed. Their teamwork was great.
If one person was attacked another one will take someone hostage. More specifically none of them were alone. They were in groups of three. One of them will watch the hostages. The other two will overwhelm the attackers. If one team was fighting another team will attack the passengers.
This way they kept everyone in control. Soon after they started searching for someone.
"Not here."
"Not here too."
...
'Who are they searching for?' Shin thought. He can easily take them down. But should he be getting involved? Until now no one life was in danger. They are only searching for someone.
Shin noticed one hijacker whispering something to the hijacker beside him.
The voice was very small but with his amazing stats Shin managed to pick some words like 'haven't found her', 'Tricked', and 'our Hyunja Corporation'.
'I see now, these hijackers are from Hyunja Corporation. They are searching for someone and that person is probably a passenger on this plane.'
Although he figured it out he was still confused. As far as he knows Hyunja Corporation is a big group located in Polaris city. If it was before the cataclysm they can also be called the rulers of Polaris.
But Shin doesn't have much information in Leonard's memory. By the time he came to Polaris city it was already full of criminals. The Green Serpents were in control over the city from the dark.
Hyunja corporation was not there anymore.
This thing piqued Shin's interest. What happened to Hyunja Corporation? How did it suddenly decline?
There was no information about it. They were just suddenly eliminated. Was it another group or some powerful entity there was no information?
But one thing Shin does remember is that, Rubert Hyunja, the chairman of the Hyunja group. His headless corpse was all over the news. Leonard remembered the headless corpse which was ruthlessly killed. That news left a deep impression on him. He wanted to know what methods were used to kill him.
But anyway, that's the only piece of information Shin had about Hyunja's future.
It's not that he pities them. After all, their leaders were also a bunch of scum. They had committed several crimes. He would never want to associate with them.
Eliminating the Hyunja corporation should not be an easy task. But if Shin had trouble with them, he won't hesitate to fight them.
"Hey you what are you staring at?" Shin noticed a hijacker pointing towards him and shouting.
He raised his brows in confusion and asked.
"Who me?"
'When did I stare at him?' Shin thought in confusion.
The hijacker shook his head.
"No, not you. The girl beside you."
"Huh?" Shin subconsciously glanced at Alice.
He gulped and let out a cold sweat.
Sure enough, she was glaring at him. But that's not the problem. For some 'unknown' reason, she was already transformed in her dark firm.
'This, what is going on?'
At this moment Alice was pissed. Whenever this poor girl is having a good date with her dear Shin someone surely comes to ruin it.
And now that this pitiful girl was going on a pre-wedding honeymoon with her husband. Once again, some annoying rats come to ruin their time.
How could she not be angry?
She spend so much time and effort yesterday to look good in front of her darling.
Are they all messing up her plans on purpose?
Whether it is true or not.
'I won't let them get away with this.'
Alice and Shin's sweet time was disturbed. Her thoughtful husband was worried about the safety of others.
These rats should be cleaned up.
"Hey, girl, can't you hear me I said what are you looking at?" The Hijacker shouted. Many people turned their attention to the girl with black and red hair who was silently staring at those hijackers.
Under Shin's gaze, Alice simply uttered.
"Reaper Chains."
