Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 80

He was so heartbroken that he started wailing, making it impossible to hear the units properly.

“Two thousand won?”

“Twenty thousaaaaaand… Huuuung!”

Tears fell like chicken droppings without pause.

Shin Inyoung wiped away the tears and snot with a handkerchief.

“You were scammed out of twenty million won?”

“Huuuung…!”

Han Gru nodded while blowing his nose into the handkerchief.

“Twenty? You said twenty million won, right?”

Han Gru sniffled and took out his mobile phone to open Onion Market.

The onion coin transaction history clearly showed not 2,000 won or 20,000 won, but 20 million won.

“Really twenty million?!”

“…Huuuuung…!”

“No, don’t cry again… Stop, can you give me your parents’ contact information?”

* * *

‘…I thought it was rental deposit money.’

Not long ago, there was quite a buzz about an incident where a child secretly withdrew rental deposit money from their parents’ bank account and spent it recklessly, so he had thought it would be something like that.

‘I never thought it would really be pocket money extortion…’

Shin Inyoung stared at the grandfather and grandchild sitting side by side in front of him.

The elderly man with the build of some organization boss, wearing a fine western suit and an expensive-looking coat, had a face that could occasionally be seen on TV.

Chairman On Suhyung of Doan Group.

He never expected to meet a major corporation chairman at a neighborhood police station. And because his 4-year-old granddaughter got scammed out of her pocket money…

On Suhyung’s secretary beside him bowed politely to Shin Inyoung, so he returned the greeting.

The secretary was in the middle of contacting someone. From eavesdropping on the conversation, it seemed to be a lawyer.

Meanwhile, On Suhyung was patting Han Gru while sincerely comforting the child.

“Han Gru, there’s no need to cry over such small change.”

“Sniff! Sob!”

Shin Inyoung turned his body to the other side, thinking he shouldn’t have heard that.

Just in case, he entered Onion Market on Han Gru’s mobile phone, clicked on the scammer’s profile, and looked around here and there.

Looking at the conversation history, the other party seemed like a young punk too, but what nerve.

Meanwhile, Han Gru thought it was fortunate that he called On Suhyung. The Chairman warmly comforted him (though it was somehow more heartbreaking that he called it small change) and said he would handle the report properly.

‘I really did well to call the Chairman.’

On Suhyung was puzzled that Han Gru called him instead of On Jurim, but Han Gru had his reasons too.

“Onion Market trading prohibited.”

In exchange for joining Hyeonak, onions had to be forbidden. Unlike other matters, On Jurim had confirmed this several times.

“If you keep this up, the scary police uncle will come and take you away.”

He made a nonchalant expression while making flashy beeping sounds to scare him.

“Han Gru, then I’m a criminal?!”

He was scared. Just before meeting On Jurim, he had seen police officers who had come out for enforcement.

Though he knew nothing, instinctively stepping on the pedal and running away had been a good decision.

It seemed that On Jurim had somehow smoothed over the previous Onion Market transactions, though he didn’t know how.

When Han Gru blinked, large teardrops fell with a patter.

‘Han Gru, you’re so stupid.’

Blinded by momentary temptation, he had broken the prohibition.

If On Jurim found out he had broken the promise that had been emphasized so many times, he would be greatly disappointed.

‘I’m really going to get in trouble.’

On Jurim wasn’t usually strict with Han Gru, and Han Gru had been smoothing over accidents and troubles with all kinds of aegyo and charm until now, but this time he might really get in big trouble.

“Sob. Chairman. Please don’t tell Guild Leader… Hic.”

Han Gru rubbed his tear-stained face while buried deep in On Suhyeong’s arms.

On Suhyeong held Han Gru tightly and patted him comfortingly.

“Yes, I’ll definitely keep it secret. Don’t worry. We can handle it quietly.”

The Section Chief of the police station, who had been in complete panic at the chaotic situation after returning from his meal, finished his phone call and hurried over to On Suhyeong, bowing repeatedly.

“First, it will be handed over to the Cyber Crime Investigation Team. Chairman, I’m sorry to say this but… Onion is an anonymous market, so it’s difficult to find users… It would be great if we could catch the thief, but please understand that it might be a bit difficult…”

Clang-!

Difficult? Han Gru’s eyes trembled with a shocked expression.

On Suhyeong comforted Han Gru again and spoke coldly.

“Do police these days say such things without even trying to investigate?”

“Oh no, of course not. How could that be? It’s just that it might be like that~ something like that…”

While the Section Chief was sweating profusely and making excuses, Shin Inyoung, who had been checking Onion on Han Gru’s mobile phone, spoke up.

“Section Chief. I think we can just catch this guy easily. He seems like a beginner.”

“Huh?”

“Look at this. There’s a history of having the map turned on.”

At his words, everyone looked at Inyoung.

“I also use Onion, and since it’s originally a secondhand trading app, you can set your location to make it convenient to trade nearby. But look at this, here. It looks like his home. Probably…?”

Does a scammer live in such a nice place?

Shin Inyoung tilted his head puzzledly. Being this sloppy, it didn’t seem like he had made it big through scamming.

When Han Gru wiped away his tears with his sleeve and stood on his tiptoes to look up, Shin Inyoung lowered the mobile phone to show him the screen.

Han Gru confirmed the dot marked on a luxury apartment complex and asked.

“Sniff, then, if we go here, can we catch the bad person?”

“Hmm, probably? We’ll have to check first. It could be set as fake. But I think it’s here. I have a feeling.”

“…!”

Hope that he could catch them surged within him.

Gru, filled with anger, clenched both fists tightly.

* * *

A high-stakes scammer who reeked of being a novice on the Onion Market app.

According to the Cyber Crime Investigation Detective’s confirmation, the address registered on Onion Market was indeed the scammer’s home.

The scammer was truly a beginner, and his identity would have been easy to reveal. They thought punishment would proceed swiftly, but….

In fact, the big obstacle was his identity.

In the office building of law firm ‘Han River’, Gru sat on a high chair with his legs tucked up together.

Next to Gru sat On Suhyeong and Han River’s lawyers in a row.

On the opposite side of the table long enough for a meeting, a high school student sat with his arms crossed and an annoyed expression.

Ham Honggi, 18 years old.

Sitting there as a fraud suspect, he consistently wore a frown without showing even a hint of remorse.

“Of all people, it had to be a 4-year-old. How embarrassing.”

Gru clenched both fists tightly and glared with wide eyes.

‘Bad villain.’

There had been a couple of contacts over the phone, but that scammer had maintained this attitude every time.

At first, he said he’d spent it all and couldn’t return it, but when Ham Honggi’s guardian was contacted, the situation changed.

“We’ll give you whatever you want, we just want a settlement.”

The scammer’s side wanted a settlement for any amount, but Gru wanted punishment.

It was a deadlock.

Therefore, at law firm Han River, Gru and On Suhyeong, along with Han River’s lawyer gathered. On the opposite side were scammer Ham Honggi and his mother, along with their lawyers.

Ham Honggi’s mother clasped her hands together, placed them on the table, and let out a sigh.

“I’m truly sorry, Chairman On. We raised our son poorly and caused you trouble. I have no face to show you.”

“….”

On Suhyeong simply responded with silence.

“You apologize too.”

She tried to forcibly bow her son’s head.

“Ah, why are you doing this! It’s just 2,000 won… It’s because mom cut off my card. I told you so many times I needed money!”

“If I had known you would do this…!”

She glanced around and cleared her throat awkwardly.

She was so embarrassed that her neck felt stiff. Her son didn’t even realize this and was still grumbling that it was mom’s fault.

Since he was the youngest with a big age gap from his older brother, they had spoiled him, and his behavior had gotten terribly bad.

She could tolerate his rudeness, but when he seemed to be getting into drugs after going wild, she couldn’t stand it anymore and cut off his card.

‘How long has it been since I cut it off, and he’s already doing this.’

She pressed her throbbing temples.

This was such an important time for her husband. She couldn’t let family scandals drag him down.

Actually, when he first heard about some scam at a market, he had shaken his head in disapproval, but figured he could just pay a hefty settlement and send the kid on his way.

The financial situation of kids dealing in those places was obviously tight anyway.

But who would have thought his son had scammed Chairman On Suhyung’s granddaughter? And the amount he’d swindled wasn’t just pocket change—it was 20 million won. It was absurd.

And that wasn’t all? If she was On Suhyung’s granddaughter, that automatically made her father On Jurim.
