Chapter 131: Chapter 131: Located one of them(2)



He opened his status screen again and navigated to the map icon. The map displayed two distinct dots: a red dot and a blue dot, the latter of which was quite distant from the red one.He pointed at the blue dot.

[Host. The blue dot represents your current location, while the red dot marks the location of the child.]

Seojun nodded, taking in the information. He reflected on how this side quest and the map icon had suddenly appeared yesterday. It seemed the system had introduced this new function to aid him in his quest.

This new feature allows Seujun to locate the children by showing their positions on the map. Whenever he are near one of them, a crystal will appear. Crushing the crystal will teleport him directly to their location.

Now, Seojun moved quietly through the forest, his senses alert. As he listened, he heard voices nearby—loud, irritated voices. He paused, eyes narrowing, and Silla, sensing his caution, slipped further under his clothes, only its small head peeking out.

The bushes ahead rustled, and a group of people emerged. At the front was a man who seemed to be the leader, holding a sword and wearing a necklace with a wolf\'s fang. His gear was covered in wolf skin, giving him a rugged, almost feral look.

His expression was harsh, eyes scanning the area like he was looking for a fight. Behind him was a girl clutching a staff nervously, A mage and another girl who looked strangely familiar to Seojun. Two men trailed behind, struggling with heavy bags that also look familiar that are porter.

The man with the sword—Jae-hyun seeing Seojun stepped forward with a scowl. "Hey, you!" he barked, his tone already confrontational. "What are you doing here?"

Seojun kept his eyes on the leader, saying nothing, .He could see the leader\'s patience wearing thin, his fingers twitching on the hilt of his sword. his eyes narrowed, and he stepped closer, clearly looking for an excuse to start a fight.

Just as he opened his mouth, one of the guys at the back of the group quickly moved forward, stepping between them. "Wait, Jae-hyun!" the man said, raising his hands in a placating gesture. "He\'s my cousin!"

Jae-hyun turned sharply to face him, disbelief etched across his face. "Are you messing with me?! You don\'t even look alike" he snapped, his voice low and threatening.

"N-no, really!" the man stammered, glancing nervously at Seojun. "He\'s my cousin. He\'s Korean, right, couz?" He put his arm around Seojun\'s shoulders, leaning in close and whispering urgently, "Please cooperate with me, Master."

Seojun looked at the man, trying to remember where he had seen him before. The man seemed familiar, but Seojun couldn\'t quite place him. He caught the man\'s pleading look and realized he had to play along, at least for now.

"Yeah," Seojun finally said, keeping his voice neutral.

Jae-hyun stared at them both, clearly suspicious. He eyed Seojun up and down, as if searching for any reason to doubt the man\'s claim. "Why didn\'t you say that earlier?" Jae-hyun growled, still unconvinced.

The man beside Seojun swallowed hard. "He… he\'s just quiet, you know?" he explained, trying to sound casual. "It\'s just his way. We should keep moving and not waste time here, right?"

Jae-hyun glared at him for a moment longer, then sighed and shook his head. "Fine," he muttered, though his tone was anything but friendly. He shot Seojun a dark look. "Lucky motherfucker," he spat before shoving Seojun roughly as he pushed past, stomping ahead of the group.

The man sighed with relief, his shoulders relaxing a little. Seojun finally turned to him, his voice low. "Who are you?"

The man\'s face faltered for a moment. "Don\'t you remember me, Master?" he asked, looking genuinely surprised. He pointed to the other man who had been carrying the bags. "What about Jin-hyu?"

Seojun\'s eyes followed the direction of his finger, landing on the second man. He frowned, searching his memory. Nothing. He had no idea who this man was.

Seeing the confusion on Seojun\'s face, the man seemed to panic a little. "Ehh? What about Hannah?" he asked, pointing to the girl, following Jae-hyun but looking at them

Seojun\'s face remained blank, Before the man could say another word, Jae-hyun\'s voice cut through the tense silence like a knife.

"Hey!" Jae-hyun barked from up ahead, his tone full of irritation. "What\'s taking so long back there? Move it, or I\'ll leave you all behind!"

The man beside Seojun flinched and quickly raised his hands in a placating gesture. "Coming!" he shouted back before turning back to Seojun, his voice low and urgent. "Look, we\'ll talk later, okay? Just go along with it for now, Master. Please."

Seojun nodded, though his mind was still spinning with questions. The man seemed to know him, seemed desperate for him to play along.

Jae-hyun stomped back toward them, glaring furiously. "If you three don\'t get moving right now, I swear I\'ll—"

"We\'re coming!" the man name Jin-hyu beside Seojun interrupted, his voice a little too eager. "Just a little misunderstanding, that\'s all. We\'re good now."

Seojun kept his silence, watching the group move ahead. Silla\'s small head peeked out from inside his clothes, and he heard the snake\'s voice in his mind. "Play along, Master," Silla whispered, sounding a bit nervous.

Seojun sighed quietly. He didn\'t want to make any more trouble. He picked up his pace and followed the group, his eyes scanning their surroundings. The guy who had claimed to be his cousin moved closer to him again, his expression a bit anxious.
