It was 3 days later, a figure was standing on a parking lot's rooftop. He were wearing a exquisite suit with a strange cute mask covering his entire face, there was even a black top hat slanted slightly. It was of course, Malso.
Chu Mal-Chin furrowed his brows, the outfit had taken quite some time to assemble and was already abit behind schedule. The screen has a set of instructions posted.
As he continued looking around, he saw a dark blue haired beauty walking through the alley. Bingo.
To be a member of the ever growing Protagonist's harem, one had to be quite the individual. Such as the person in front of him.
Nicknamed Queen Celestia, Mary Kay was an A rank ice manipulator who specialized in offense and speed. Combined with her beauty was enough to make her a fan favorite. She also cleared many gates, or portals that monsters resided in.
But the screen or system seemed to be all knowing, as it had prepared a meticulous plan for Mary.
Malso was around S grade and usually an SS grade like the protagonist and villain could easily catch him, but Malso specialized in hiding his tracks and teleporting away. The mere A rank in front of him was basically a rabbit in front of a lion, even a baby could kidnap her as long as they followed the system's instructions.
Chu Mal-Chin activated Malso's ability, [Teleport Anchor] to his apartment already, so he just used Malso's second ability, [Card Toss].
{Note: it is possible to awaken 2 abilities, but it isn't IMpossible.}
It was basically a ability for card throwing. Malso infused his mana into ordinary playing cards, thus making it deadly ability that could slice off an ordinary person's head at a flick of a wrist.
However Chu Mal-Chin obviously wouldn't kill someone so he used the blunt end of the card and activated Card Toss. He accurately hit the back of her head thanks to his memories of the original Malso.
"Aurgh-?!" Mary Kay blinked her bright blue eyes, before fainting.
He carefully put on a shutter item, which had the power to stop circulating mana around the body, thus making a gifted person into a normal human being. Thankfully Malso was an irresponsible rich thief who liked to collect expensive supernatural items…
It was a red ruby bracelet and Chu Mal-Chin carefully searched her for a phone before blindfolding her and teleporting her to the previous rooftop.
His heart was already pounding in nervousness as he easily unlocked her phone using face ID on Mary Kay's unconscious face.
Scrolling through her contacts, he saw a name that made his heart tighten.
Samuel Livox, a handsome black haired man with a firm personality. He was a decently strong SS rank in {Kalio}, and was one of the most sought after bachelors due to his young age of 28.
Hesitantly, he clicked on the FaceTime option on Mary's cell phone. As the call kept ringing, he pointed the camera towards the sky.
Just as he thought he wouldn't answer, the call picked up, and a husky voice was heard.
"Hello?" The sound of his cold, threatening voice immediately sent shivers down Malso's spine, and made him speechless for second.
Seeing the blaring system to his left caused him to snap back and into actor mode.
"Oh, hey there Samuel! Been a while hasn't it~?" A cute mask appeared in the camera's view.
"You-! What have you done to Mary?!" Samuel's handsome face immediately contorted. He already had a deep hatred towards Orchid, who stole his only S class sword, and was an infamous vigilante who did eccentric things.
"Haha~ Nothing much thankfully~ But she's taking a small nap right now…" The camera shifted towards the unconscious Mary on the rooftop. "It would be a shame if something…happened to her." Malso's voice turned low as it warned him.
"…what do you want?" Samuel grit his teeth at the sight of the unconscious beauty helplessly lying on the ground like a pitiful damsel in distress.
"Come over to 2639 Bazaar Street, if you try to come closer then 10 feet, I'll immediately drop her off this roof and teleport away. And she's wearing a shutter item, so if she drops she'll really die~ And I don't think you'll want that now hm~?" The camera shifted back towards Orchid as he did a thumbs up.
"You got 15 minutes! And you know what will happen if you bring people… Haha, Au revoir!" Malso waved before ending the call.
After ending the call, he slumped down to his knees. That took way too much energy to act like that…
Just seeing his beloved protagonist's face was enough to make him bow down and kiss his shoes. Hell, he was pretty sure he had some merch with his manhwa image stamped on…a true fanboy.
His eyes turned back to Mary, he had nothing against her in the novel, she was actually quite nice. Too bad they had to meet like this.
Not even 5 minutes later, just as Chu Min-Chin tied some weights to the chair, Samuel arrived looking pissed. He seemed to have listened to Malso's instructions as there were no other people in the vicinity.
"Good good, what a cute and obedient boy."Malso had to stall for time as he steadily filled up the Anger meter. It was already at 35/50 percent so he just needed to get on his nerves.
Samuel couldn't say anything as the situation was worse then he had additionally thought, the weights leaning off the edge would immediately drop Mary towards the ground. The only thing holding onto her was Orchid's hand. Samuel didn't think that such a infamous vigilante would do something like this to a girl.
"Why so silent~? Maybe I'll just drop her now~" Orchid laughed.
"What…do you want?" Samuel asked again bluntly.
"Hmm, would you believe me if I said I just wanted to chat with you~?" Orchid shyly put his free arm around his back.
"Cut the crap Orchid." The moody Samuel glared daggers at Malso.
"Get on your knees." Orchid got his free hand back towards his chin underneath the mask and held it.
"Beg me not to kill her, clasp your hands bark like the disgusting dog you are~" Orchid's amber eyes were seen through the mask, turning into crescents. A faint laugh was heard as well.
"…I'll kill you…" Samuel stopped himself from swearing aloud and his eyes turned even fiercer but didn't hesitate to go on his knees. It was his fault Mary had been targeted anyways, they had been getting close as of recently, and it would always attract trouble from his enemies.
"Clasp your hands like a good dog…." Orchid motioned him to hurry up.
Just as the veins in Samuel's forehead were about to burst, Orchid suddenly stopped him.
"Ahh! I'm late for a Doctor's appointment~ It seems the fun will end here~ See ya later Samuel!" Orchid threw the chair which Mary was in at Samuel, laughing before hurriedly teleporting away to some unknown location.
Samuel, who had caught the chair with Mary, bit his lips. If he caught Orchid, he would make him go through the 7 layers of hell before granting him the mercy of death!
