【Bloodline is a Thug Chapter 93】

Chapter 93: War (1)

“…W-we won’t just sit back and do nothing!”
Ashely screamed at Kwon Mi.
“Do you know who stands behind Jose Dil Pablo? The Godfather! With just one word from him, every cartel in South America will move!”
Even a cornered rat will bite a cat, as the saying goes.
Ashely clenched her teeth and shrieked.
“Even if our cartel’s power doesn’t match Heukcheon’s, we can definitely kill everyone here, including you! Remember that… Kyaaa!”
Kwon Mi reached out again, seizing Ashely by the throat.
“Not everything that comes out of your mouth is worth listening to. You said the entire South American Cartel could move and kill me and everyone here, didn’t you?”
But a rat is still just a rat. It can’t do anything to a cat.
Much less when Kwon Mi wasn’t a cat—she was a tiger.
“I wondered why you were so full of confidence… turns out you were just barking in your own backyard. I can’t let such insolence go unanswered.”
Kwon Mi pulled out her smartphone and made a call.
“Secretary Kim. It’s me. Relay my orders immediately to our people on the ship.”
Kwon Mi spoke in a voice devoid of any hesitation.
“Destroy all major cartel strongholds in South America right now.”
After saying that, Kwon Mi hung up. In that moment, Ashely cried out with a dazed expression.
“Y-you’re bluffing. Even if you brought hunters with you, you only have barely over ten of them. There’s no way you can fight the Alliance with such small numbers…”
“Who do you think we are?”
Kwon Mi spoke with a contemptuous expression.
“Did you really think you could measure Heukcheon by your pathetic standards?”
The moment Kwon Mi finished speaking, a phone rang.
Ashely slowly pulled out her smartphone.
-A-Miss!
A horrific scream came through the phone.
-E-enemies suddenly appeared! They’re destroying our people and buildings!
Ashely asked with a face as if possessed by a ghost.
“…How many of them?”
A loud explosion sounded. Soon, a voice came through.
-One person!
In that instant, the call cut off. Moments later, another phone rang.
-Ashely! Thank goodness you’re answering!
This time, the voice was slightly different.
-We’re under sudden attack! All our people have been completely wiped out! You might be in danger too, so run… Stop them! I said stop them! Why can’t you stop just one person… Gaaahhh!
The call cut off again.
Ashely looked up at Kwon Mi with a dazed expression.

* * *

Ashely screamed and fled from the hotel.
Kwon Mi didn’t bother chasing her. As if there was no need to.
“I owe you an apology.”
Kwon Mi spoke toward Kwon Han-ul.
Kwon Han-ul couldn’t help but be surprised. Kwon Mi was apologizing to him?
“It was your assignment. I went ahead and handled things on my own.”
“Well, there’s nothing we can do about it.”
Kwon Han-ul brushed it off casually.
In truth, he thought the destruction was a bit excessive.
But since Heukcheon had a habit of acting recklessly, he decided to let it slide.
“Instead, Aunt, please leave Jose Dil Pablo to me.”
“…That guy?”
Kwon Mi’s face showed distress.
“Think it over again. Jose Dil Pablo is… far too dangerous.”
Kwon Han-ul couldn’t help but be surprised once more.
Right now, Kwon Mi was genuinely worried about him. He never thought the day would come when she would worry for him.
“No, I’ll take him.”
But regardless, Kwon Han-ul had no intention of yielding Jose Dil Pablo to anyone.
“As you said, Aunt, this was originally my assignment. I believe I must at least finish it with my own hands.”
Jose Dil Pablo was the root cause of this entire incident. It only held meaning if I dealt with him directly.
Besides, there was someone else on my mind.
GG.
He harbored a grudge against the Pablo Family—there was no way he’d miss this opportunity.
Jose Dil Pablo would surely have GG nearby.
If he were a stranger, it would be different. But I couldn’t simply walk away owing a debt for my teammate’s life.
“However….”
Kwon Mi still looked worried. But when Kwon Han-ul showed no sign of backing down, she sighed and spoke.
“Fine, I understand. But you must defeat Jose Dil Pablo without fail.”

* * *

After contacting Ashely, Jose Dil Pablo headed straight to the meeting place.
The kidnapper had summoned him to a village along the coast.
In the past, it had been a thriving harbor town.
But now, with the port no longer in operation, the village was declining day by day.
Jose Dil Pablo made his way to an old warehouse—a massive, sprawling structure used for storing cargo.
“There’s no one here?”
Yet the warehouse was empty.
“Is this not the place?”
Jose Dil Pablo checked the text message several times over.
This was definitely the right location.
“What the hell is this bastard trying to pull now…”
With no choice, Jose Dil Pablo had to wait in the warehouse.
He retrieved an abandoned chair from nearby and sat down.
No matter how much time passed, the kidnapper never appeared.
Eventually night fell and the sun rose again. Still, he didn’t show for quite some time after that.
How long had he been waiting?
Someone appeared before the wide-open warehouse door.
“Finally, you’ve shown yourself.”
Jose Dil Pablo rose from his chair.
His body, stiffened from sitting for so long, stretched and extended as he worked out the kinks.
“Where is my uncle?”
The kidnapper said nothing.
Jose Dil Pablo clicked his tongue inwardly. Of course. There was no way he’d return him so easily.
“Who the hell are you?”
“Do you know why I made you wait here?”
Jose Dil Pablo’s expression darkened.
“What are you talking about?”
“It seems you don’t remember where this warehouse is.”
“Why would I need to know about this filthy dump?”
The kidnapper removed the hood covering his head.
In that instant, Jose Dil Pablo could only stare in disbelief.
“…Rabbit ears?”
Fluffy rabbit ears protruded from the rough man’s head, their fur bristling outward.
At the sight of this grotesque spectacle, Jose Dil Pablo burst into laughter.
“Puhahahaha, what kind of insane bastard wears something like that…”
He stopped laughing. From the depths of his memory, from a place shrouded in darkness, something surfaced.
“…Hwan Soo-hyul?”
Jose Dil Pablo spoke to the kidnapper.
“You’re from the Garcian Family. Then this warehouse is…”
“Yes.”
A kidnapper.
GG ground his teeth as he spoke.
“This is the warehouse where you locked up the Garcian Family members.”
“Ah.”
Jose Dil Pablo pointed at the man with an outstretched finger.
“Now I remember who you are. It was you.”
Jose Dil Pablo spoke with a laugh.
“That stupid bastard who fell for my trick and revealed the family’s location!”

* * *

“I never expected you to appear before me like this.”
Jose Dil Pablo spoke with delight in his voice.
“That day, I caught all the others. Only you slipped away. I’ve been curious about where you’ve been and what you’ve been doing…”
Jose Dil Pablo examined GG as he spoke.
“So why did you show up before me?”
“You’re asking because you don’t know?”
The sound of grinding teeth echoed. GG spoke with fury.
“I came back to reclaim the Garcian Family members from you.”
“What? What did you say? Reclaim? Puhahahaha!”
Jose Dil Pablo burst into raucous laughter.
“You sold out the family members and ran away alone, and now you want to reclaim them?”
Jose Dil Pablo eventually clutched his stomach. GG’s eyes twitched.
“Where are the family members?”
GG spoke in an icy voice.
“Among the Pablo Family executives I attacked, there wasn’t a single person I knew. But you would know. You orchestrated everything.”
Jose Dil Pablo wiped his eyes with the back of his hand. He had laughed so hard that tears streamed down his face.
“Well, since you’ve gone through all this trouble, I should let you meet them.”
Jose Dil Pablo reached into his clothing. He slowly pulled out a necklace.
It was a teddy bear pendant, carved from ivory and gleaming with a milky white hue.
“Go ahead. Say hello.”
Displeasure appeared on GG’s face. His expression asked what kind of tasteless joke this was.
“Look carefully. What do you think this is made from?”
Jose Dil Pablo toyed with the necklace.
“A unicorn’s horn.”
“A unicorn? Don’t talk nonsense. A unicorn’s horn wouldn’t be so crude…”
GG’s voice cut short. He stared at the pendant without blinking once.
“Surely not…”
“You catch on quickly. That’s right. The material used in this necklace isn’t just any unicorn’s horn.”
GG’s body began to tremble slowly. Blood dripped from his clenched fists.
“It’s a unicorn horn created by the bloodline of your Garcian Family.”

* * *

Beast-form Blood.
A bloodline capable of mimicking the abilities of other creatures.
It wasn’t entirely wrong, but the reality was somewhat different. Beast-form Blood wasn’t a bloodline that mimicked abilities.
It was a bloodline that manifested power by ‘mutating’ one’s own body into that of another living creature.
“I can’t tell you how fortunate I was to have discovered your Garcian Family back then.”
The higher the purity of the bloodline, the more accurately one could mutate their body to resemble the original.
“I was preparing a gift worthy of earning the Godfather’s favor. I wanted to create artwork from the byproducts of rare monsters… but I was short on materials.”
The duration one could maintain a mutation depended on their stamina.
But there was one method—the only one—that allowed permanent mutation.
“A unicorn horn, a salamander’s heart, and what else was I missing? Ah, the eyes of a phoenix bird.”
Death.
If one died while mutated, their body would remain permanently transformed.
“Those made from mixed-bloods with low purity were useless, but the pure-bloods were quite serviceable.”
A sound escaped—a cry.
It was a sound mingled with rage and sorrow, almost bestial in nature.
“Ah, would you like to see my other friends? You can see them if you come to my room. I took the ones that couldn’t be used as materials for the Godfather’s gift.”
GG kicked off the ground and charged forward. Thanks to the rabbit’s leg strength, he crossed the distance in an instant.
His thrown fist struck Jose Dil Pablo’s face hard. Yet it was GG who grimaced in pain.
“Quite angry, aren’t you?”
Jose Dil Pablo spoke with a sneering smile.
“But what can you do? You’re nowhere near strong enough with just this level of power.”
Jose Dil Pablo’s body moved. GG quickly mutated into a different monster.
“An ogre!”
Bluish-green skin wrapped around GG’s body in an instant. Jose Dil Pablo’s fist drove through it.
In that moment, GG’s body was sent flying backward. He bounced off the ground, shot upward, and crashed into the wall.
“Ugh!”
A single blow.
Just one attack had turned his internal organs inside out. GG coughed blood and writhed in agony.
“You were the strongest among the Garcian Family. Your blood purity was high too.”
Jose Dil Pablo spoke while dusting off his hands.
“The Godfather’s birthday is coming up soon. This works out perfectly.”
“…How did they die?”
GG forced out a single sentence.
“How did the people of the Garcian Family… die?”
“How would I know?”
Jose Dil Pablo spoke with a frown.
“I left them with the organization’s people. Well, they probably died well enough.”
Laughter echoed through the air.
It wasn’t coming from Jose Dil Pablo.
GG was laughing, blood trickling from his mouth.
“They all died like dogs.”
GG pushed himself up. He glared at Jose Dil Pablo and uttered a single word.
“Mammon.”

* * *

Jose Dil Pablo tilted his head in confusion.
“Mammon? What kind of monster is that…?”
In that instant, mana erupted from GG’s body.
It wasn’t ordinary mana. It was a sinister, dreadful power that inspired terror merely by witnessing it.
The mana coiled around GG’s form. Simultaneously, a sound emerged.
Crack.
The sickening sound of bones twisting echoed repeatedly. With each sound, GG’s body transformed.
The spine elongated. The limbs thickened. The jaw extended. Fur bristled across the entire body.
A beast.
A colossal creature stood on two legs, its gaze fixed upon Jose Dil Pablo.
“A demon…?”
Before he could finish speaking, Jose Dil Pablo’s body was hurled backward.
The impact to his abdomen sent him flying.
“Gack!”
Jose Dil Pablo quickly regained his footing.
“This bastard was hiding something like this…?”
A fist descended from above. Jose Dil Pablo’s body crashed into the ground.
“…#%$#%#!”
The beast shrieked in an incomprehensible howl, trampling Jose Dil Pablo relentlessly.
With each stomp, the ground crumbled and shattered beneath its weight.
Suddenly, the beast’s movements ceased. As it lifted its foot, Jose Dil Pablo emerged, embedded deep within the earth.
The beast seized him by the head and wrenched him free, glaring at him while gripping his skull.
“…Kuh.”
Jose Dil Pablo opened his mouth.
“Impressive. You seem like you’ll make excellent material.”
Jose Dil Pablo extended his hand, placing his palm against the beast’s chest.
In that moment, an invisible force struck the creature. The beast’s body was driven backward. Blood dripped from the corners of its mouth.
“%#$%$#.”
Yet the beast quickly shook off the pain and lunged at Jose Dil Pablo once more.
“Quite resilient.”
Jose Dil Pablo snapped his fingers upward with a smirk, and the beast’s body lifted into the air.
The creature thrashed its limbs desperately, but its body only continued rising higher.
“Dig.”
Jose Dil Pablo flicked his fingers downward, and instantly, the beast’s body slammed into the ground.
The impact was so tremendous that the earth trembled. The beast struggled to rise.
It barely managed to lift its head, but Jose Dil Pablo was nowhere to be seen.
“Look up.”
GG raised his head.
Jose Dil Pablo was descending with a spiked sword gripped in both hands.
As he plummeted downward, Jose Dil Pablo brought the spiked sword crashing down.
The jagged blade tore into the beast’s flesh.
In that instant, an aura exploded, and the entire warehouse collapsed.

* * *

“Ptui.”
Inside the devastated warehouse.
Jose Dil Pablo spat out blood.
“All this trouble for some worthless bastard.”
Jose Dil Pablo’s gaze fell downward, where GG lay collapsed with his transformation undone.
He still clung to consciousness, but was on the verge of losing it entirely.
“Where is my uncle?”
When GG didn’t respond, Jose Dil Pablo slapped his cheek hard with his palm.
“This bastard won’t snap out of it.”
He struck repeatedly, and with each blow, GG’s head whipped back and forth.
“I’m asking where Ricardo Pablo is.”
Suddenly, a phone rang. Jose Dil Pablo frowned and picked up his smartphone.
“What now? I’m swamped, so why are you calling….”
-B-Boss! This is bad!
An urgent voice came through the phone.
-Heukcheon… Heukcheon has gone insane!
“What are you talking about?”
-Heukcheon is attacking us right now!
For a few seconds, the world seemed to freeze.
“What do you….”
-All our men are dying! You need to come now!
“Ashely… what the hell did that woman do….
Veins bulged across Jose Dil Pablo’s forehead.
“Well, this works out. I was sick of seeing those bastards acting out anyway. I’ll ask the Godfather for a favor and have them all killed….”
Upon hearing the name Heukcheon, he felt no fear. Instead, his competitive spirit ignited.
A subordinate shouted at Jose Dil Pablo.
-That won’t work!
“Who do you think you are to contradict me?”
-It’s not just our family—every family in the Alliance is under attack from Heukcheon!
It felt like I’d been struck in the back of the head with a hammer. Jose Dil Pablo’s brow furrowed so intensely his eyebrows nearly touched.
“That’s absurd! How could our families be attacked when we only brought a handful of hunters from Heukcheon?”
Ashely had investigated this beforehand.
Among Heukcheon’s people currently in South America, barely more than ten were combat-capable.
So how could every family be under attack?
-Those maniacs split their forces one person at a time!
Already confused, the subordinate uttered something even more incomprehensible.
-They’re sending one person to each family and causing chaos!
