I'm Otsutsuki Toneri

Chapter 14

[Toneri's POV]

Stealthily walking away from the crowd of reporters that surround Jin-Woo, I calmly approached my car.

*Ring* ×2

'Another phone call?'

I opened my phone and checked the caller's name. Again, it's an unknown number.

'Who is this? It can't be Adam because I edited his contact number on my phone...'

I'm starting to be conscious about my security. One person managed to get my contact number in an unknown way, sure I'll bat an eye on that because he's a National-level hunter, but two people? Seriously? I should seriously change my contact info...

"Hah..."
Breathing a helpless sigh, I tapped the screen and spoke to the caller with an indifferent voice

"Who is it?"

[Take a guess...]

Huh? This voice... That tired-sounding and familiar voice...

"Ryuu? How'd you get my number?"

Yeah, it was Ryuu from the raid. The same guy that turned to a... Dragonoid? I dunno... No, aside from all that, how'd he contact me?

[You're surprisingly easy to track down online...]

I flinched for a second and stayed silent.
I spoke to him in the next moment with suspicion
"... Are you stalking me? I'm sorry but I don't swing that way"

Yeah no. I'm straight as I can ever be. If this guy is really stalking me, I'd better turn him down right now

He answered me back with an annoyed tone.
[I'm straight too asshole... I just called you because you were invited to a joint mass gate clearing here in Japan... The number of gates appearing here had been rising at an alarming rate...]

Huh? Gates appearing at an alarming rate... How's that possible? Moreover, I don't seem to remember a 'mass gate clearing' in the original series... Oh wait, maybe it did happen but it wasn't focused on. And as for the many gates appearing... Could it be... Nah, it can't be. That's too early to start haha

Now, regarding Ryuu's request... I guess clearing a few more gates and earning a bit more money won't hurt, right? Moreover, I could get the chance to go on sightseeing in Japan.

"... When will this happen? And can you give me more details later? I still have an appointment right now."

[Okay. I'll call you later for more details...]

"Wait, you still haven't answered my question. How'd you track me down?"

[...]

He stayed silent for a while before speaking again with a somewhat confidence and pride in his tone
[Let's just say I was good at using the internet to my advantage before being a hunter...]

*Beep*

'...'

What the hell is wrong with that guy? He did answer my question but hung up in the next second... Rude.

Closing my phone I made another plan. Reinforce my personal information. First, it was Liu Zhigang, now it's Ryuu. I can't let this continue.

Adding the plan to my personal notes, I approached the parking lot where Adam White said to go.

I searched a bit until I finally saw someone waving at me. I checked his appearance and saw that he had brown hair is wearing a suit.

I approached him and spoke with the English language
"Adam White, I presume?" (Toneri)
