I am not a returner Episode 279:
Dog and Wolf (4)
“Be quiet, you bastards!”
Wow!
With a violent cry, the young beastman girl’s head turned.
The girl’s cheeks were red and swollen, with a trickle of blood as if the inside of her mouth had been torn.
“Don’t hit me in the face. “The value of the product is dropping.”
“Oh, I’m so sorry. “Stop running wild.”
A beastman with brown ears and a tail bowed to the beastman who appeared to be the leader.
“Liru!”
The beastman boy who was watching the scene let out a fierce roar and kicked his feet.
Slam!
The thick iron chains that tightly bound the boy’s body made a clanging sound.
“Aaaaa!!”
The boy let out a wild roar and twisted his entire body, but was unable to escape from the chains as thick as his forearms.
“I can’t hear you telling me to be quiet… ugh!”
The beastman, who was frowning and trying to cover the boy’s mouth, screamed and grabbed his forearm.
The boy bit his forearm with his sharp teeth and glared fiercely at the hunters with his eyes wide open.
Tsk.
The boy’s eyes, spitting out bits of bitten flesh, still had a fierce glow of fighting spirit burning in them.
“ha. Anyway, all silver-maned bastards are like this.”
One of the beastmen who appeared to be the leader approached the boy with a frown.
“You damned little bastard!”
Bah! Sigh!
The leader hunter knocks the boy to the ground and kicks him roughly.
“haha! “Didn’t you tell me not to touch you?”
“Isn’t that guy going to be dragged to the dog fighting ring anyway? “Then wouldn’t it be better to get beaten up in advance and develop tenacity?”
“Hehehe. “That is also true.”
The brown-furred beastmen burst into laughter as if the sight of the boy being beaten was comical.
A scene of violence filled with soggy malice.
Ojin and his party, who heard the screams and ran, hid in the bushes and took in the scene.
“Those bastards…”
Ha-eun let out a harsh curse and tried to get up.
“Wait a minute, sister.”
Oh Jin grabbed Ha Eun’s shoulder and pressed it, as if she was about to run forward at any moment.
Ha-eun glared at Oh Jin fiercely.
“Are you telling me to look at that and stay still?”
“Just wait for now.”
Oh Jin narrowed his eyes while comforting Ha-eun, whose head was feverish.
Two young beastmen being kidnapped by brown-furred beastmen.
‘Is this why they said silver was not allowed?’
The young beastmen chained up had silver ears and tails.
Ojin narrowed his eyes and looked at the brown furred beastmen.
The number is eight.
It wasn’t difficult to come forward and subdue them right away.
‘If I do well, I can use it.’
I thought that I could use it as a good guide for Ojin and his group who need to infiltrate the Khan Kingdom in the future.
“Sister Isabella.”
“…why?”
“Yes, Mr. Ojin.”
“They are standing behind me and bowing their heads slightly. “As calmly as possible.”
“…What are you going to do again?”
What are you trying to do?
Isn’t there only one thing for you to do?
“Follow me and you’ll find out.”
Ojin grinned and turned his head towards Riak.
Riak was looking at the young beastman boy and girl with eyes full of complex emotions.
“Riak, you just need to stand still next to me and watch those guys.”
“….”
Instead of answering, Riak slightly moved next to Ojin.
Oh Jin nodded lightly and got up from the bushes.
“Who are you?”
Did you hear a rustling sound?
One of the hunters quickly pulled out a mace from his belt.
Ojin didn’t care and walked towards them.
“What are you doing here?”
Keep your back straight.
Step without hesitation.
So that there is a lot of arrogance in your voice and eyes.
“Who are you…”
“Are you just asking me a question? dare?”
He frowned and glared at them fiercely.
The hunters looked at each other and kept their mouths shut.
“answer.”
Oh Jin spoke briefly to those who were watching.
He could feel the eyes of a group of hunters watching him.
What they see reflected in their eyes is a young man with black wolf ears and tail who looks at them with arrogant eyes.
Behind him, two eye-poppingly beautiful women were quietly bowing their heads, and next to him was a large wolf glaring at them so fiercely as if he would tear them to death at any moment.
One of the two women even had black ears and a tail, and the wolf that appeared to be the guard also had black fur.
There is only one conclusion that can be drawn from this.
The other person is a ‘noble’ who holds a high position among the Black Mane tribe.
“I meet you, a nobleman of the Black Mane tribe.”
A beastman who appeared to be the leader of a group of hunters urgently bowed his head.
Ojin smiled slightly as he looked at them bowing their heads like gentle sheep.
‘As the old man said, it’s the same here and on Earth.’
Obedience to authority.
It was a phenomenon that inevitably occurred in a society where classes exist.
Regardless of whether there is truth or not, if the person appears to be a person of high rank and rank, they naturally have no choice but to feel intimidated.
It would be especially effective for those living in the underworld by kidnapping young beastmen and engaging in human trafficking.
“We are from the Brown Mane tribe…”
“I asked what they were doing here. “Is there any reason I need to know who you guys are?”
“That’s a good thing!”
The saying that a good word is good only when it is good can be established only when both are on equal footing.
When the ups and downs are clear, the more strict and rude you speak, the more polite your words become.
Because respect comes from fear.
“So… that’s it.”
The hunters glanced at the chained boy and girl, sweating profusely.
Oh Jin clicked his tongue at the sight of him hesitating and not being able to speak properly.
‘Still, it doesn’t seem like kidnapping a member of the Silver Mane clan is legal.’
If kidnapping and buying and selling members of the Silver Mane tribe were legal, there would be no reason to sweat and pay attention like that.
Ojin looked back at the two captured boys and girls and frowned in displeasure.
“Did you capture those fabrics to sell?”
“…ah.”
The hunters’ eyes sparkled as they heard Ojin’s next words.
With a single word uttered in passing, it was determined that Oh Jin was a high-ranking official who was one of their ‘major customers’ and did not have a strong law-abiding spirit.
“That’s right!”
“Hmm. Have you already decided who to sell to?”
“Males have reservations, but females do not!”
The head hunter answered with a bright smile.
Oh Jin crossed his arms and his eyes lit up with interest.
“Who decided to buy the male?”
“That’s…”
The hunter trailed off and avoided eye contact.
The head hunter, who continued to ponder, slowly shook his head as if he had made up his mind.
“sorry. “I can’t tell you that.”
Buying and selling Silver Wolf Mane is completely illegal.
For hunters, revealing who the buyer was was one of the taboos.
“Right.”
Oh Jin grinned as if he was satisfied.
“thank god.”
“yes?”
“If you had told me who was living, you would all have died right here.”
The head hunter’s shoulders trembled.
A line of cold sweat ran down my spine.
“ha ha ha! “Who can survive on this floor if they speak lightly!”
“by the way.”
Ojin’s eyes turned to the girl called ‘Riru’.
The corners of the mouth turn up in a mean way.
“Did you say there are no reservations for females?”
“That’s right!”
The head hunter approached with shining eyes.
He raised the corners of his mouth and opened his mouth in a soft voice.
“How are you? Are you trying to save a slave this time?”
“Hmm. “Is there really any reason for me to buy that lowly thing?”
“haha! “You haven’t rescued a Silver Mane slave yet!”
The hunter’s words, who thought he had seized the opportunity, continued like a clear stream.
“The Silver Mane Tribe may be fierce, but once you tame them, they are very useful in many ways.”
“is it?”
“sure! “Because their physical abilities are so superior, depending on their training, they can be used as escorts or servants!”
A frivolous tone of voice like a home shopping host.
“And again…”
The head hunter took a step closer to Ojin with a sinister smile.
He glances at the two women standing behind Oh Jin and continues speaking.
“There is no tribe as beautiful as the Silver Mane tribe, is there?”
“….”
Ojin’s fist was clenched roughly.
Although I expected it from when I told you not to touch your face earlier.
The Silver Wolf Mane tribe was also being exploited ‘that way’.
“You may be young now, but later…”
I felt a sickening feeling in my stomach.
A putrid, rotten smell mingled with every word he spoke.
ha.
A deep sigh flowed from Ojin’s mouth.
Baek Moo-gang’s words came to mind once again.
“Really… there’s no difference whatsoever.”
“yes?”
“No, keep talking.”
“Ah hmm. “Of course, I know that it’s uncomfortable to touch cloth.”
Did he notice that Oh Jin was not interested in the young girl?
The head hunter cleared his throat and quickly changed the subject.
“But if you buy one, it will be useful in many ways! Look at that beautiful silver fur! “Don’t you know that shearing the fur of the Silver Mane tribe and making it into jewelry is very popular among noble ladies these days?”
The head hunter’s gaze turned to Ha-eun, who was standing behind Oh-jin.
“Maybe your wife will like it….”
“Ojina.”
Ha-eun, who had been standing behind Oh-jin with her head bowed, raised her head.
Two eyes that are burning as if they are on fire.
Ha-eun gritted her teeth and took a step forward.
“I’m sorry, I can’t stand it anymore.”
“Wait a moment, sister.”
If you can’t hold back here, the lies you prepared with so much effort will be useless.
Of course, it is possible to force cooperation by subduing someone by force, but unless there is a technique that can completely suppress the mind, such as ‘domination’, the risk is too great.
“Just hold on a little longer…”
When Oh Jin tried to stop Ha Eun from exploding.
Wood clatter!
With the sound of bones crunching, the head hunter’s body bounced as if it had been hit by a large truck.
“Wow! Wow! What?!”
The leader hunter is spewing blood and panicking.
“uh?”
Ha-eun turned her head in surprise.
“Krrrrrrr.”
Riak is howling fiercely with his pure white teeth exposed.
He moved his legs, which were standing strong like a pillar, and slowly approached the fallen chief hunter.
The head hunter crawled on the floor with a pale face.
“Cough!” Now wait! Why suddenly… “Wow!”
Quack!
Sharp teeth digging into the back of the head hunter’s neck.
Riak chewed and swallowed the piece of flesh he had bitten off and glanced back at Ojin.
“I know you have other plans, kid.”
The whole reason for this ridiculous act is probably to take advantage of those hunters.
“I know that it is efficient and that there is a lot to be gained.”
but.
“There are times in this world when you must not tolerate it.”
The wolf’s burning eyes turned towards the hunters.
