Chapter 8 Number One Hacker In World Extorts Protagonist's Money
Chapter 8 Number One Hacker In World Extorts Protagonist's Money
?One hour later.
Issei had woken up from his stupor and the police officer told him to leave as he had been released without punishment.
Just kidding.
The police agency did not punish Issei further, but Issei himself had been personally punished by Roygun.
So even though he was released from prison, he suffered bruises from being beaten by the iron rod of the beautiful policeman he had a crush on.
With his face still swollen like a pig, instead of going to the hospital, Issei smiled happily as he walked on the sidewalk.
Ignoring the strange looks from the people who passed him along the way.
It was cold tonight, but an eight rank martial artist like Issei did not feel cold at all.
The bruises on his body even began to heal little by little automatically as the QI in his body could speed up the wound healing process.
In a few more hours, it was certain that the bruises on Issei's body would soon disappear.
And his face would not be swollen like a pig's, although it would still look ugly afterwards.
While walking Issei took out his cell phone from his pocket and started calling someone.
"Hello L, I need your help to check someone's identity." Issei said.
The man's hoarse voice from the phone responded. "Do you want details or not?"
"I want details, the target is a pretty pink-haired cop in Kuoh city."
The image of Roygun in a tight police uniform instantly came to Issei's mind, he liked that brave woman with the spirit of justice.
Even though that woman had beaten him badly, but he didn't hate her, instead he liked her and was eager to conquer her.
The person behind the phone was silent for a moment.
"...20 million."
"Huh? Why is it more expensive than usual? L, aren't we friends? Can't you--"
"The price can't be lower than this. If you don't want to, Dragon King, you can find another hacker. And please walk away with the misunderstanding that we're friends, we're just mutually beneficial business partners."
"...."
Issei was dumbfounded, what was wrong with this man. During these two years usually the other party was quite polite to him when he had orders, why now suddenly became cold?
Issei wanted to scold the other party, but he sighed and did not do so. After all the other party was the number one hacker in the world, having a good relationship with him was quite important to him.
Soon he was transferring money to the other party's account number from his cell phone. As a Dragon King and mercenary captain who had a lot of influence overseas, 20 million was actually just small money to him.
Even so, money is money, Issei before becoming a Dragon King was an orphan who did not have much money. If something could be gotten for free, he would naturally choose free.
But it's a pity that this number one hacker somehow changed his mentality, leaving him confused and upset.
"I've transferred the money, quickly give me the information."
"Okay, here we go!" The woman's identity was Roygun Bephegor, the eldest daughter of the Bephegor family. Her family background is not inferior to the seven great families in Japan, only slightly worse because this family is not ambitious enough in politics. They focus more on stability and have connections with the ancient martial artist family for more than 10 years."
"Having connections with the ancient martial artist family? Interesting. By the way, do the Bephegor family members have cultivation?" Issei asked with interest in his eyes.
"Due to talent limitations, only three people have it. That is Roygun's father and grandfather, and finally Roygun himself. As for their cultivation levels, apart from Roygun who has the power of a rank three martial artist, the others are only rank two martial artists."
The man from behind the phone said boredly and added. "That's all the information, I'm hanging up."
"Huh that's all?" Issei frowned.
"Yes, Dragon King. That's all because I'm sleepy, so I want to sleep."
Hearing this, Issei got angry and almost slammed his cell phone to the ground. "You, you... I already paid 20 million, this is the only information you gave me?"
"I'll hang up."
"Shit! Wait, wait a minute! At least one more, tell me who was the person who called the police to arrest me earlier?"
Issei was actually curious about this, if it was not Grayfia's side who called the police. He naturally had to take revenge on the person who dared to send the Dragon King to prison, even if it was only for a few hours while he was in prison, but it was a matter of his Dragon King's face feeling slapped.
Of course the love slap from Roygun didn't count.
Issei waited for L to answer, but he didn't expect the other party to just yawn and hang up.
*Bip Bip*
"...."
Issei's face darkened, he sighed and held back his emotions. Otherwise, he would have punched a hole with his fist in the building next door and scared the passers-by.
He suddenly thought of something, although he had never met L in person, and even only knew the other party's pseudonym, he felt that the other party's voice that he often heard was fake.
Perhaps it was deliberately made into a hoarse male voice to disguise its gender.
As protagonist, Issei's sixth sense for finding beautiful women was very high. So he began to guess something, could L be a woman?
And that is a type of beauty over 90 points?
Issei felt it was possible.
A lascivious smile appeared on his face at this thought. He replayed Grayfia's grandfather's message on his cell phone when he had just been released from the police station a few minutes ago, his smile growing wider.
[Hahaha that old man Lucifuge invited me to stay at his house. That means I'll be under the same roof as Grayfia!]
[My beautiful wife, your husband will be coming home soon~]
...
Grayfia, who was walking out of her company to go home, almost tripped when she heard Issei's inner voice.
Her expression turned to anger and she gritted her teeth as she got into her car.
"Grandpa invited that wolf to stay at home? Then I won't go home there!"
"Better go home to my private villa." Grayfia said coldly before driving her car in the other direction of her family home.
Her destination was her private villa in the suburbs of Kuoh. Grayfia had bought the villa a long time ago, but since it was quite far from the company she worked for, she had almost forgotten about it.
Now she remembered it, so it was also a good opportunity to try living there.
As long as Issei was still living with her grandfather, she might as well move home.
There was no telling what was in her grandfather's head to invite a dangerous man like Issei to live in his house. His granddaughter wasn't married yet, how could he make a wild man live under the same roof with her?
Even if Issei was her fiancé, it was only a fiancé from her grandfather's mouth. Grayfia would never agree to this engagement, especially when her fiancé was Issei.
That man was already blacklisted in her heart, so being with him was a "Big No".
Very, very, impossible.
Especially after hearing his inner voice all this time that made her shudder with disgust.
...
Meanwhile on a remote island where there is a villa surrounded by many trees.
At night that villa looks very beautiful because of the many chandeliers that illuminate the surrounding area.
Although it looks a bit extravagant, but the owner of the villa actually deliberately put a lot of chandeliers outside to reduce her fear because he lives alone on an small island.
The owner of the villa was a beautiful woman with long black hair down to her hips who was currently sitting in her room staring at the monitor screen in front of her.
There wasn't just one screen, but there were so many that it took up the one side wall of her room.
The woman had pretty and cute facial features, wearing a black gothic dress with white lace covering the sides of the dress and half of her ample bosom.
Her dark black eyes seemed to be focused on watching one of the screens featuring a handsome blond man who had just finished taking a shower and was only wearing a white towel to cover his lower half.
The woman in front of the screen drooled slightly and said, "So hot!"
"This villain's appearance is much better than protagonist~"
"What Dragon King protagonist? Dragon King farted."
"Next time if he wants to ask for my help, I should make a higher price. It's a bit regretful to only ask for 20 million before."
The beautiful woman who was the number one hacker in the world under the pseudonym "L" sighed, slightly regretting not tricking protagonist harder.
As for why she didn't tell Issei who called the police to arrest him before.
Actually, she had deliberately hung up because she did not want to tell Issei that the young master of the Phenex family had done it.
The person who called the police was Riser Phenex. It was Issei's natural enemy, as the other party was villain.
Why did he seem to be supporting the villain instead of the protagonist?
Well the answer is simple, because villain is very handsome and more attractive than protagonist.
For example now, she is daydreaming while peeping at Riser who is changing clothes in his room.
With her hacker skills, she was able to hack into a laptop camera that happened to be facing Riser who was changing.
The world's number one hacker swallowed hard, he was actually a hidden pervert.
"Nice muscles, looks like he works out a lot."
"And the stuff is pretty big too~"
...
The riser on the other hand does not realize that someone is peeping at his while changing.
After taking a shower, that night he went straight to bed in his room and remained motionless like a piece of wood until morning.
The next morning.
Riser woke up at 9am and took a shower immediately after waking up.
He slept well last night, and felt satisfied with his sleeping hours. Because in the previous world he was a workaholic, he was often dissatisfied with his less than 5 hours of sleep a day.
Now after transmigrating to another world as a rich second generation, he could sleep as much as he wanted and didn't have to worry about being late for work.
Riser liked living in this world even more.
The only problem was that he was a villain, he had to deal with the protagonist to prevent the other party from rising up and killing him.
"System, I want to sign-in."
[Host, please don't joke. System is not the daily check-in system.]
"Oh, come on a little joke is fine."
[...Instead of joking around, why doesn't the host go through today's plot?]
Riser smiled wryly, his system meowing again about the plot. He suspected that this system actually only liked to be a melon eater when he participated in the plot.
After watching a good drama, this system would give him a reward.
System:...
[Cough, host.]
"Yes, yes, I will mess up the plot again today. Even without your urging, I'll do it."
"Take it easy, system. This host of yours is actually starting to enjoy making protagonist suffer. Looks like I'm starting to develop a special hobby for that."
System was silent.
But it's good that the host thinks that way.
I'm support you, host!
Walking casually and getting into his car, Riser was filled with excitement to mess with protagonist.
[There's a plot today!]
The heroines who heard villain excited voice, began to wait and listen quietly.
The mentality of waiting for drama is activated.
What will the protagonist do in this plot?
And who is the heroine this time?
[It's that clichéd routine again where protagonist who is on a random walk suddenly encounters a high-status old grandfather who suddenly has a heart attack on the street.]
[I've seen this kind of plot a lot in urban novels, and the next scene is predictable.]
[It's actually a bit implausible that a 70-year-old old grandfather who was originally very healthy suddenly had a heart attack just because protagonist Issei was walking not far from him.]
[Almost like a deliberate joke! Author basically gave Issei a hot potato to pretend and slap the faces of the people who belittled him after he managed to save the life of that old grandfather who had a heart attack.]
[In addition to possessing strong combat power as the number one mercenary captain overseas. Issei actually also possessed high medical skills that he learned from his masters overseas.]
[Today's plot is Issei's chance to be able to have a connection to one of the seven great families in Japan. The old grandfather that Issei was going to save was from the Sitri family. It was the grandfather of the heroines Sona, Sona Sitri.]
