Chapter 287: Wil goes to Wular city

The interview didn't take too much of his time. After finishing it, Wil logged out of the game. As he has nothing to do for the next two days, he decided to take some vacation for a day.

However, a call from an unknown mobile phone number.

"Hey, Wil."

"Trainer Hyo?"

"Yeah, it's me."

"Is this your new number?" Wil asked her.

"No, it belongs to the nurse." She replied to him. Wil noticed her tone appeared strange. It's as if she was in some kind of hurry.

"Nurse?" Wil was taken aback, "where are you, right now?" He asked her.

Instead of answering, his question, Hyori said, "Wil, I need your favor."

Upon hearing her tone, Wil frowned. He wondered what happened. Hyori never asked him for a favor before. He knew she was a prideful girl.

Combined with the nurse and her tone of restlessness, he wondered whether she made an accident or something…

'Is she calling me to talk to the police?' Wil thought in his head. "Sure, what is it?"

"I missed my flight. I need your private jet." She asked him.

"Eh?" Wil was taken aback by her words.

Her favor was completely different from his thoughts. "private jet? Are you going somewhere?"

"Yeah, I need to go to Wular city but there are no flights… Taking any other transportation will be too late… Help me out. I'll pay you all the fuel and pilot charges, whatever charges it will cost you…"

"Wular city?" He definitely didn't think she asked for vacation or something. He then, wondered whether something might have happened to her close relative who is staying there…

Or else, why would she talk like it's the end of the world. Wil's thoughts run wild. A number of theories popped up in his head.

However, Hyori's explanation brought him back to his senses. It was nothing like he imagined at all.

"IAC is going to start in a few days. This year, I told you that Wular City is going to host the tournament, right? If everything went well, I would have been on the flight to Wular but I was robbed in the airport while I was taking my luggage."

Hyori started to explain clearly so that Wil might get some clarity or else, with his personality, Hyori was sure that Wil would ask her questions like a reporter. At least, her intuition tells her that…

"Maybe, the thief tried to cut the handle of my handbag. I had a light cut at first and when I tried to protect my bag, he tried to scare me with the knife and I had another cut accidentally. In the end, my bag was stolen.

Right now, I'm at Sunshine Hospital. I don't want to worry my dad and others. And also I need to report to the dorm by tomorrow. Now, the next flight is only tomorrow. I really need your help."

Although Wil thought the robbery was common and the police can't do anything at the scene, happening at the airport made him frown. He wondered what airport security is doing?

"Sunshine Hospital, right? I'm coming, right now… Oh! I'm also going with you to Wular. After dropping you safely, I'll get back to Ares."

Since he has nothing to do for the next two days, Wil decided to accompany her. "I need to drop by Headquarters by this weekend, anyway. Might as well go now…"

Seeing like Wil doesn't take no for an answer, she agreed with him tagging along with her.

She was also in a hurry. So, she doesn't want to waste time arguing with this protective friend.

Half an hour later;

As Wil arrived at the hospital, he saw she was lying on the bed with a bandage above her left eyebrow and another one below her right elbow.

Wil was surprised to see the injuries. "You only said it was a light cut…"

As Wil narrowed his eyes, Hyori looked away, "it wasn't a big deal. Anyway, hurry up and get me out of here."

"You arm…" Wil raised his hand and touched her left arm, not at the injury but right below it.

"Tsss…" She grimaced in pain and tried to swat his hand away.

"You aren't in a condition to play the tournament," Wil said in a serious tone. "Which idiot of a doctor said that you are free to get discharged?" He was angered.

As he looked around, he spotted a resident nearby. Just as he was about to call him, Hyori grabbed his arm. "It's alright. There are still five days. I can recover… Now, please don't waste the time. I need to report before 7 p.m." She spoke in a hurried tone and stood up from the bed.

"I can just make a call and tried to convince them, instead." Wil wanted to say that to her but swallowed his words as he can expect what would be her reaction. In the end, he nodded. "Fine, then, let's go…"

"Thanks…"

Both of them walked towards the reception to pay the bill.

"What is your relation to the patient?" The lady asked him, taking the card, "Boyfriend?"

"No." "No" Wil and Hyori answered at the same time.

Taking back the card, Wil answered calmly, "Just friends."

As Wil took her away while supporting her by grabbing her left arm, the lady mumbled, "I feel like I saw him in television… Is he a celebrity?"

***

It took another half an hour to reach the airport. With Silver's assistance, no one bothered both of them until they board his private jet.

Little more than ten hours later, the flight landed at Wular City. It was already evening 9.

There, he was received by a team of bodyguards.

Wil ordered them to take care of Hyori and left to hotel alone. Wil felt it isn't also good to accompany her all the way to Wular University.

As long as she's safe, it would be fine.

By the time he reached the hotel, he received a call from Silver.

"Silver."

"Young Master, we caught him." Silver spoke from the other side. "It looks like it isn't just a robbery like how Miss Lee claimed to you."

"Hmm?" Wil frowned as he heard the news. "Who is it?"

"He was hired by someone. The one who ordered it runs a nightclub. That's all he knew…" Silver informed everything he knew.

"Are you sure he is telling the truth?" Wil asked him again.

"Yes. We used a level-3 truth serum. I don't think he was someone that can resist its effect."

'Level-3?' Wil didn't know that there are levels even in truth serums but he trusts Silver's words and said, "Okay, hand over the guy to police, then, file a complaint. Help them with the investigation but don't take action on your own. Just make sure they are punished by the law…"

'Handing him to the police?' Silver was surprised that Wil ordered that. In his 22-years of work, he never heard such a strange order. But, then, he remembered Wil's words when he brought them back to Leafway city. 

From now onwards, they are no longer the Mafia and are law-abiding citizens. So, they'll behave the same…
