22 Daddy helped his friend
“Uhh! Can we discuss this later? People are watching.” Brian puts his finger on her lips and stopped her from taking it. Everyone around them started staring at them with a weird gaze. Even Brian was a little embarrassed by this.
“Hehe!” On other hand, Charlotte giggled seeing his embarrassed look. But, the next moment, she suddenly collided with someone.
Thud!
The man in front of her fell to the ground. She hurriedly bowed a little and said “Sir, I am sorry. I didn’t see you coming.”
“Humph! Watch your steps next time!” The man was wearing a brown hat and a brown coat. He hid his face well with the hat and snorted at her while standing. But just when he walked away, Brian caught his hand.
Brian looked straight at his head and said “Sir, would you mind returning her purse?”
“What? My purse!” Only then did charlotte recognize that she had lost her purse.
“Go away!” The man shook away Brian’s hand easily and ran away but the next moment, a shadow dashed in front of him.
“Do you think you can outrun a werewolf?” Charlotte knuckled her fist and punched his face.
Thud!
The man fell to the ground and her purse fell down from his coat.-(0)ᴠʟ.
“Whoa! She was really a werewolf. Dad, look she is super strong.” Suddenly, a little girl whose hand was held by a middle-aged man shouted while pointing at Charlotte.
“Lily, don’t point fingers at others!” Her dad put down her hand and walked toward Charlotte. He looked at her and said “Isn’t it a little too heavy for him? No matter what, he is still a normal human.”
“Normal! I don’t think so.” Suddenly, Brian spoke from behind.
“How could you say?” Looking at the man who passed out, the middle-aged man looked at Brian and asked frowning.
(O)ᴠʟ Brian crouched down and picked up his hand. There was a watch with a touch screen on it.
“GW- Model 546! It is a special watch only worn by rankers. This watch allows them to track down the dungeons and portals that open up and also allows them to communicate with other superheroes.”
“From the looks of it, he isn’t a ranker, or else he wouldn’t go around stealing from them. Since he has it, it means he stole it from someone.”
Saying so, Brian clicked the screen a few times and suddenly two small boards came out of the sides.
Whoosh!
The next moment, a powerful but tiny thruster shot down at the ground, and the watch flew away. (O)ᴠʟ
“Where is it going?” The middle-aged man was satisfied with his explanation but still didn’t understand how the watch was able to fly. But, instead of asking such a question, he asked about the watch’s target since it would be made it easier for him to understand Brian’s intention.
“To its rightful owner! A self-tracking mechanism is designed in the watch so that it can fly off to any contact or the owner of the watch. I will leave this guy in your hands.”
Brian turned around and picked up Ely in his arms, smiling.
“General Troy!”
When the middle-aged man heard his name, his eyes shrunk but just when he tried to speak, Charlotte held his shoulder and smirked with a dark expression.
“Shouldn’t you give more time to your lady and not bother our date?”
Hearing her words, Troy pulled down his hand and turned around.
“Sorry but it seems like we will be sticking together for a while.”
Saying so, he took out three golden tickets from his pocket. Charlotte immediately ignored him and caught up to Brian.
A lady wearing a grey skirt and grey coat with brown hair walked up to Troy and asked “Are we really going to waste our time on him?”
Troy shook his head and crouched down. He touched the chest of this man and two metallic chains came out of his hand, covering his body. After chaining him, Troy stood up and took out his phone.
“I marked a location. Come to this location and take the guy chained with my chains.”
“Yes, General!”
Then, Troy puts back his phone and looked at his wife “We should enjoy our family time without disturbance, shouldn’t we?”
His wife looked at him with a bright smile on her face and pulled her daughter in her arms. Lily looked at her father and asked with confusion.
“Daddy, daddy, who was that person? Was he your friend?”
Troy shook his head and smiled “It seems like your daddy is more famous than he thought.”
“Hehe!” Hearing those words, his wife giggled as they walked toward the Amusement Park.
“Hey, what’s with that laugh? I am famous.” Troy spoke to his wife while taking Lily from her arms. Then, he let her hold his arm.
Troy looked straight and saw Brain and his family several meters away from him.
‘I feel like I met him somewhere but why is he here? UMA technical department especially those who are involved in that project do not get to leave.’
Troy shook his head and finally stopped thinking too much.
In front of him, Brian and his little family were having a talk while walking.
“How did you know that he stole my purse? My senses didn’t catch anything.” Charlotte was truly surprised. As a werewolf, she had a keen sense but she didn’t expect to get tricked so easily.
Brian turned his eyes at her and spoke “In a game, there is a class called Bandit. They are like a thief version of Assassins. They have a special stat called Silence. It allows them to make their target completely blind from their sense’s perspective.”
“Well, this class was a bad class but it was created to maintain balance with Monk Class. While Bandits steal and plunder, Monk does not even kill, giving them a righteous stat. As their Righteous Stat increases, their strength in the moment of a battle can increase.”
“Of course, they will lose it as soon as they do something that society perceives as a bad thing.”
“Oh… I didn’t expect that game to have such a class. But wait, what does this has to do with you? I mean even my senses were down so how did you find out?” Charlotte nodded her head with understanding but she didn’t get her answer. So, she immediately asked again.
“Hmm… How do I say this? That watch told me.” Brian spoke but when she heard him, she stopped walking. For a moment, she couldn’t process his words but until then Brian had already escaped far away. After a while, she realized that Brian had already reached far away, and she immediately dashed towards him, shouting.
“Hey wait, I don’t understand what you mean.”
…………
“Sigh! I grind the hordes of monsters for an entire night to reach level ten and finally became the First Rank Superhero, just to lose my watch. Argh!!!! It sucks.”
A young man in his twenties grunted with frustration while staring at the sky. He was walking down the street while grunting with frustration. When he shouted, the people around looked at him with strange eyes.
“Hey George, what’s up with your mood? Shouldn’t you be happy for reaching the First Rank in three days?” A girl wearing a hoody and a tracksuit appeared behind him and spoke. She had glasses on her eyes with her black hair covered with a hood.
She had a lollipop in her mouth.
“Argh! I just got my Superhero license and the gear which included the special watch made by Golden Wing Industry. But, some insane thief stole it from me. Now, I can’t even find it.” George had a tall but buffed body just like Brian. He was wearing a black coat and black pants with black shoes, like a true gentleman.
“Can’t you report it to the UMA branch office? I am sure they can track it unless that thief is smart enough to turn off the special tracker of that watch.” The girl looked at him and answered.
When George heard her words, his eyes widened.
“Ahh! How come I didn’t think of that? Thank you so much, Sherly.” George shook her shoulder and bowed in order to show his gratitude. He immediately turned around but just when he was about to run, a watch floated in front of him.
“I think I read this somewhere. It is said that Golden Wing has inserted a self-tracking system in their high-end model watches which allows Superheroes to send or receive the watch from any place they want. I didn’t expect it to be true. But, they won’t fly unless they are taken out of someone’s wrist and personally activated.”
“Which means someone who send this to you hacked into this watch in case you did put security. So, did you?” Sherly asked with doubts in her mind.
“Yes, I did put a lock and look! Not only did this person send me the watch but also wrote a message. Look!” George shook his hand in front of her. Sherly also curiously stared down at the watch and read the message.
[Congratulation on becoming a Superhero, George! Hard work always pays off!]
