The Law of Webnovels - Chapter 262

Chapter 262: Chapter 262

.

Despite what happened, Eun Hyung told me the following words repeatedly on our way back home after that incident while dusting off the rock dust on my hair.

‘Donnie, it’s okay. Things will gonna be fine.’

And there was a pause before he uttered,

‘I’ll make it happen.’

Recalling those memories, I looked forward again. Yeo Ryung wouldn’t know the conversation that went between us at that time; however, how could she react the same as Eun Hyung?

“No, this is… I’m really fine, but I’m just afraid that you aren’t.”

“…”

“Donnie, everything’s gonna be okay… I’m gonna make that happen.”

Although she said so, I noticed that her face was looking unusually pale. She then twisted her upper body that was tied to the rope.

‘What is she doing?’ Keeping a fixed stare at her for quite a while, I suddenly realized the reason for her action.

Ban Yeo Ryung wasn’t trying to untie the rope. She was just helping herself to hold my hand. Her gaze was fastened on my hand the whole time.

While I was at a loss of words, Ban Yeo Ryung’s voice approached my ears.

“No one can touch you. I’ll make it that way.”

When she spoke to me like that, I somehow got all choked up. Although she couldn’t stretch out her hand to me, her words and the look in her eyes were already enough to make me feel her warmth on my hands.

Looking at her black eyes that were burning aflame, I murmured, ‘How on earth can you guys react like this when these episodes were centered on you guys?’

The car accident happened in front of Eun Hyung to stir him up, whereas this abduction aimed at arousing Ban Yeo Ryung. The two were, however, putting me as their first when they must have been feeling indeed a whole lot more frightened than me.

Scowling at the floor for a while, I finally opened my mouth.

“No one can touch us BOTH. That’s what we should do, Ban Yeo Ryung.”

“Oh…”

“I will also let no one dare to lay a finger on you.”

Her eyes, which were on me, widened. She then nodded while flaunting a vibrant smile, which looked unbelievably radiant for a person who was tied and trapped in an unknown warehouse.

Soon, a chain rattling noise reached our ears.

As if we had never shown a smile since we came here, Ban Yeo Ryung and I quickly turned our heads at the same time with a look of deep anxiety.

After a long rattle, we heard what seemed like a heavy iron ball dropping on to the floor with a loud thud outside the door. Maybe the lock fell off.

While both of us directed our eyes in that direction nervously, the door sprang open. It was wide enough for not only people but even a car to get in.

The headlight of the car, which was still on, lit up the people’s silhouettes like a lamp. Their shadows were long shaded on the warehouse floor.

Knitting my eyes against the bright light, I soon opened my eyes wide, thinking, ‘Hold on, who’s that?’

Those who stepped into the warehouse one after another had blue, red, and gold hairs. These extraordinary hair colors were something that I very much did not anticipate that my mouth just fell agape with wonder. ‘Oh, come on… it won’t be what I’m thinking…!’ I thought.

However, when I found the last guy whose ebony hair entered, I crumpled the hopes that sprung within me for a very short time.

‘Yeah, sure. How could those who kidnapped us turn out to be another Four Heavenly Kings? No way that couldn’t happen. We aren’t having a surprise party or so.’

While I had that thought in mind, the guys walked across the warehouse with confident steps like models on a runway. As they finally stopped in front of us, the guys then slightly raised their chins and dropped their gaze at us.

I was too flabbergasted to speak while looking up at their faces that were revealed through the lighting.

This crazy novel should PLEASE stop wasting the supporting roles’ handsome appearances on these silly episodes.

For which reason should the kidnappers look so damn gorgeous like celebrities?

The guys, who looked like they were in their early to mid-twenties, wore black from their suits to their ties. However, they didn’t look creepy at all. Instead, due to how their hair colors looked as fancy as those of the Four Heavenly Kings, the guys looked like an idol group wearing some outfits that matched their group’s concept.

The guy with red hair among them then detached his lips.

“You girls look seemingly normal, but what the hell have you been doing?”

What he just dropped made us grimace immediately.

I muttered, ‘What we have been doing? Does that mean they also don’t know why we are being kidnapped?’

This time, a blue haired-guy, standing beside the redhead, spoke to us.

“Maybe because of their grades? You know, there’s a story about a kid who always gets the second-highest scores in school, pushing the top student out of the window.”

“That’s just some stupid ghost story. Why are you bringing up such an old-school joke now?”

The red haired-guy replied out of shock upon hearing this absurdity. Someone with blonde hair then stuck his head out behind the redhead and asked, “Are they then fighting over boys?”

‘Oh, please, I wish we knew the reason too,’ saying that to myself, I quickly put my brain to work. At first, they started to point out if we were having problems with our grades; next, it was about boys. Both were related to things that would happen in school.

‘Then…’ I murmured, ‘Does it mean the person, who requested this kidnapping, is a student our age?’

Perhaps it was an unquestionable fact given the circumstances so far.

Oh, this god damn web novel! If there was someone that anyone didn’t like in school, wouldn’t it be much more reasonable to call that person to the schoolyard or the rooftop?! Why would anyone hire people to kidnap someone they hate? Was that something a reasonable person could attempt?

No… that wasn’t what I should be thinking at this moment. I fell into thought again.

Okay, so this person was wealthy enough to hire people to abduct someone whom he or she hated. I would have then definitely encountered this person earlier at Hanwool Group’s party.

Quickly recalling those whom I saw at the party, a clear and ringing voice awoke me to my full mind.

“Who are you guys, then?!”

‘Ban Yeo Ryung! If you’re abducted, please stay calm for now or, at least, use some honorifics! What’s the point of provoking the kidnappers?!’ I shouted inwardly.

What I thought earlier was correct. It was Ban Yeo Ryung, whom I should worry about instead of the kidnappers. Feeling my liver fluttering, I switched my gaze to the guys.

Thank goodness, the kidnappers didn’t seem to care about Ban Yeo Ryung’s behavior at all. As if feeling invigorated, they slightly pointed her with their fingers and giggled about how wild she was. The guys then tossed a question.

“Who are we?”

Their voices sounded meek as if showing us mercy.

I, however, just turned my head apathetically without any need for expectation. I didn’t expect them to let us know who they were so easily. Besides, if I used my common sense, I would start asking why the kidnappers would tell their names to the hostages without making any fuss? Not just their names, but they should also hide their faces if they’re thinking rationally.

Furthering my thought to that point, I suddenly realized that those guys didn’t even wear any face masks upon their impressive appearances. The pattern of this story was then…?

I turned my head blankly to check the look on their faces.

They were showing a sign of pride and confidence through their overall look while standing there triumphantly. With these thoughts in mind, I suddenly started to remember that the genre of this novel was none other than a web novel.

Those guys would then belong to a pattern of villains who would love to chatter about their names and their plan when a hostage yells to know why…

There was nothing more fortunate to us then. ‘Indeed,’ I nodded, ‘The genre of this novel goes on as expected…’ Watching me keep murmuring, Yeo Ryung flung a question.

“What did you say, Donnie?”

“Shush… be quiet, Yeo Ryung. These people are talking right now.”

“…”

Whether she was looking at me in wonder or not, I lowered my body close to the floor and showed a glance at them filled with fake admiration. Enjoying the gaze I was sending for quite a while, the guys then opened their mouths again.

“You asked who we were, huh?”

At that very moment, I prayed with all my might. Their identities and the purpose of this abduction, which would leave their mouths, would determine the age group and the ending of this novel.

The guys then detached their lips again.

“We are…”

‘PLEASE!’ I murmured.

“… Called…”

Oh, please… rated G! All ages admitted!!

As I put every ounce of my energies into my prayer, a low voice then finally declared something.
