Housekeeper in the dungeon

EPISODE 96

He wasn’t wrong.

Going through the guild would only make things more complicated, but he didn’t need Wen Dexam to solve it.

“No, it’s not fair, it’s a very fair trade, they’re offering to save my life, how could I refuse!”

Wen Dexing squirmed as hard as he could, afraid that the barely descended cord would disappear.

In response, Hee-Na held up the remaining pieces of magic stone.

“Then this is our contract.”

Hee-won only untied Won Deok-sam’s bound body after the contract was finalized.

“Oh, Saxin.”

Won Deoksam rubbed his numb limbs.

Hee-na and Hee-won hadn’t even given him time to warm up.

“So what are you going to do to help us?”

“Hanxi is busy, so say something quickly.”

Won Deoksam squirmed at their urgency.

“Oh, okay, first of all, we need a computer.”

“Why a computer?”

“I need it to get into the hunter net, hack it, and block the information.”

“Oh. You’re going to hack into the hunter net?”

Hee-won asked in disbelief.

The hunter net was a communication channel for hunters not only in Korea but around the world, and security was tight.

It was said that breaking into the Hunter Net was harder than hacking into the U.S. Department of Defense website.

“Yes, it is. It’s hackable with a little bit of tweaking.”

Won Deoksam was saying that he could get his hands on such a hunter net now.

If this was true, then unlike his seemingly flimsy kidnapping skills, he was indeed quite capable.

“Well, good, then. I need you to erase our information from your computer.”

Needless to say, Hee-Na, who didn’t know much about the hunter net, wasn’t impressed.

“I’m going to go into the house to find out where I put my laptop, so clean up here and come back in.”

Instead, she asked the other two men to clean up the mess, and Hee-Na quickly set out to find the laptop.

Fortunately, the old laptop was in good working order.

It was a little stuttering, but considering it hadn’t been used in over a year, it was in pretty good shape.

“Once the Blue Dragon Guild got their hands on it, most of the information was erased. Instead, it was the intermittent authentication posts that are the problem, and it was people like me who didn’t catch them in time.”

Won explains, tapping away at the keyboard of his laptop.

It was out of character for him to say something so serious with a grizzled face.

Regardless, Hee-Na and Hee-Won bombarded him with questions.

“So, can Mr. Won Deoksam delete those posts right away?”

“But what if people who saw the old posts track us down?”

Won Deoksam looked at them and waved his hands as if to calm them down.

“Unless I’m Big Brother, I can’t control everything that happens on anonymous message boards. What I can did is prevent them from digging around with these ‘peanut’ keywords.”

At his vague explanation, Hee-Na prodded him.

“Explain a little more.”

“Well, I’m going to set up a trap in the virtual space that only responds to your special word ‘peanut,’ so if someone tries to access the key information about peanuts, the trap will be triggered.”

“What happens if I get caught in the trap?”

“I’ll be contacted, and at the same time, their computer will be attacked, and it’ll be so hardened that they’ll never be able to touch it again. Even if you manage to escape the attack, the algorithm will just go around in circles again and never find out anything about you.”

“……Well, you’re risking your life, so I’m sure you did a good job.”

Hee-na was an ordinary office worker who only did paperwork on her computer, so she didn’t understand what Won Deok-sam was saying.

But she believed in the validity of the contract.

In this house, Won Deok-sam had to tell only the truth, and he could never harm Hee-na and Hee-won.

Otherwise, he would lose so much. Starting with his abilities, and maybe even his life!

Snort.

In his thoughts, his belly clock chimed somewhere.

When I looked for the source of the sound, I realized it was coming from Won Deoksam’s stomach, where he was typing away.

“K, Hmm.”

He coughed embarrassedly and excused himself.

“My hacking ability is also a skill, so it takes up a lot of energy…….”

“So you have to keep eating to use that hacking skill?”

“Well, that’s true. Otherwise, I might get an energy drain and become incapacitated…….”

Purr, purr.

At the same time, there was another loud purr.

“Ouch…….”

It was quite pitiful to see the swollen and bumpy stomach, and it even made a stomach grumbling sound.

“Ugh. Eat this.”

Hee-Na couldn’t bear to look at him, so she rummaged through the kitchen and handed him a leftover egg sandwich.

She hated him for kidnapping her, but she also felt bad seeing him so hungry.

‘I guess this is what I’m made of.

Hee-na sighed to herself.

Meanwhile, Won Deoksam swallowed hard when he saw the egg sandwich in front of him.

He was so hungry that the sandwich looked several times bigger than usual.

“Go, thank you!”

He gulped, grabbed the sandwich, and shoved it into his mouth.

“Yum!”

His bloodshot eyes widened as he took a bite of the sandwich. The mashed egg gently coated his tongue with a delicious flavor.

He inhaled the remaining three sandwiches in one fell swoop.

His mouth must have been ragged from the beating, but he didn’t seem to feel any pain.

“You must be hungry, you haven’t eaten since yesterday.

Hee-Na clicked her tongue and looked at him.

“Drink some water, you’re choking.”

I pushed a glass of water in front of him, and he downed it in one gulp.

“Gulp!”

Won Deoksam slammed the cup down with a flourish and wiped the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand.

“That was the most delicious food I’ve ever eaten…….”

He muttered as he recalled all the food he had eaten in his 40 years of life.

Hee-na, who had grown accustomed to this kind of behavior thanks to Kang Jin-hyun, shrugged her shoulders as if it wasn’t a big deal.

“I’m glad to hear it. If you’re done eating, get back to work. If you’re good, I’ll make you a nice dinner.”

“That…… right, I’ll do my best!”

Won Deoksam glared at the laptop screen with enthusiasm.

The mistake was irreversible, and he’d already sworn an oath to the gemstone. It was best to clear his mind and focus on the task at hand.

His fingers began to move excitedly.

Wen Dexam raised his hands in the air.

“It’s done!”

Hee-na, who was preparing dinner, glanced back.

Won Deoksam was smiling triumphantly.

“Done? Perfectly?”

Hee-won, who had been hovering around and spying on Won Deok-sam, couldn’t resolve her suspicions and questioned him.

“Within my capabilities, it’s the most perfect. It would be impossible to find the information inside the hunter net, and even more impossible to get it through any other route……. I, Mr. One, would not allow it.”

Won Deoksam replied with a smile.

I didn’t have much faith in him when he said that with his bluish face and shabby appearance, but…… I decided to believe him.

“Go will punish you for any untimely resolution.”

The old man who crawled up next to me secretly scared me.

At his words, Baduk sneaked up on him and picked up a leaf. It was the same leaf that had slapped Won Deoksam.

“Hmph, hmph. That’s perfect. I can guarantee it. You don’t think I’d play with my own life?”

Won Deoksam shrank back as if terrified by the bravery of Oh Sae-yi and the Go player.

Hee-won put his arm around Won Deoksam’s shoulders.

“You’d better stay on your toes, you were the one who kidnapped my brother after all, I’m just withholding judgment for now.”

“I’ll never do anything like this again, and I won’t say a word about you, and if you don’t believe me, I can promise you that against a magic stone, too! Now that I’ve cleaned up my act, if you’ll let me go, I’ll never forget this favor!”

Won Deoksam clasped his hands together, almost begging.

But Hee-won didn’t even bat an eye as the gaunt middle-aged man groveled in front of him.

The politeness and respect that runs deep in Korean blood was unrelenting in front of his family.

The atmosphere quickly turned ugly, and Hee-na spoke up as she scooped the cool bean sprout soup into her bowl.

“Mr. Won Deok-sam, you can’t leave our house right away. We’re in trouble for the peanuts, and we might need your help in the future.”

Won Deok-sam was now bowing to Hee-na.

“If you let me go as I am, I will do everything in my power to help you outside.”

But Hee-na was adamant.

“No. How can I trust you to let her go? I need to stay with her and keep an eye on her.”

Hee-Na snapped and slammed her soup bowl down.

“Hey, come over here and get me a bowl. Don’t be silly. You should be grateful that you’re not tied up limb from limb right now.”

“Oh, okay.”
