Chapter 26: Kidnapped
"I'll be back before you close the shop!"
Checking his watch, Luck realized he had to get back to his shop in Gliese.
"Okay, boss!"
Not wanting to risk disappearing outside, Luck hailed a taxi and hurried back to his house, passing through the door of his room and heading back to Gliese.
Realizing that he had walked straight through the door of his shop in Gliese, Luck thought, 'I'm beginning to understand this going back and forth between worlds.'
In Luck's experience, he could switch between the doors he had used before at will.
But if he thought of a certain area without thinking of a specific door, he appeared at a random door that was available, just like when he came to Gliese for the second time.
"Boss, you're here!" It was Velma who realized that Luck had come to the shop.
Luck nodded to Velma and a smile appeared on his face as he looked at the still packed tables and the people waiting in line.
'Having a successful business really makes one happy,' he thought.
Luck walked up to Velma behind the order counter and asked, "Any problems?"
"No boss, everyone who takes a bite of your burger has a smile on their face!"
The people happily eating at their tables seemed to confirm Velma's statement.
...
At 8.00 p.m., Luck saw his last customers off, cleaned up the shop as usual, dismissed all his employees, and then stayed in the shop himself so that he could transport frozen food to Earth.
But all this time he was unaware of the people outside the shop who were waiting for Luck to be alone.
Two men, their faces covered with sheets except for their piercing eyes, were looking into the shop where Luck was.
The 1st man said, "As usual, he sent his employees out first."
2nd man "Yeah let's hurry up, somehow he managed to get out of the shop the other day without us realising."
Man 1: "OK, let's get moving."
After a short conversation, the two of them approached the shop stealthily, moving in the shadows with silent steps like a cat.
Meanwhile, Luck was busy carrying the bags of food from his shop in Gliese to his warehouse on Earth.
One of the two men with veiled faces sneaked in through one of the windows at the front of the shop, while the other sneaked in quietly after opening the back door.
When the two men, one from the front of the shop and the other from the back of the shop, finally came together, the confusion in their eyes was obvious.
The shop was not a big place. Checking the kitchen, the toilet, the area with tables, and even the freezer, the duo could not find Luck.
1st man "Did we miss him again?"
2nd man "No way! He sent his staff away not long ago! He should be here!"
Looking around carefully, Man 1 said "Could he have escaped through a secret passage?"
Man 2 shrugged "I don't know, we don't even know where he lives, he keeps disappearing after closing his shop."
Man 1 said thoughtfully "You're right, maybe there really is a secret passage here and he's traveling through it to somewhere else?"
The 2nd man squints his eyes "You mean a magical portal?"
"Probably."
While the two men were talking, the kitchen door opened.
Luck, who was about to fill his bags with frozen food again and take them back to Earth after returning to Gliese from Earth, came out of the kitchen curiously when he heard the sounds of conversation coming from the shop
When he saw the two men standing in front of the order counter, he said, "The shop is closed, come back tomorrow."
The two men, their faces covered with veils, stared at Luck in shock.
"Surely it must be either a secret passage or a magical passage!" was what the first man was thinking.
Remembering that he had locked the door of the shop, Luck was surprised and asked, "How did you get in?"
With Luck's question, the two men suddenly got rid of their astonishment.
Realizing that Luck was standing where he was looking at the two of them, the second man suddenly took action, and immediately after putting his hand in his pocket, he blew a pinch of dust in his palm on Luck's face.
Luck, who did not expect someone to blow dust on his face, said "What the hell?"
Although he tried to avoid the dust attacking him, it was too late. Breathing involuntarily, Luck inhaled the dust particles.
Just 1-2 seconds after inhaling the dust, Luck's vision blurred, his head began to spin as if he was drunk and soon he fainted.
2nd man "Hah he fainted very quickly..."
....
Waking up with a hangover, Luck was confused.
He was lying on a soft bed in an unfamiliar room.
"Where am I?
'Where is this place?'
Then the incident in the shop came to his mind. Two men had entered the shop even though he had locked it and Luck had fainted after one of them blew a powder in his face.
Luck opened his eyes wide open and said, "Have I been kidnapped?"
Luck got out of bed and tried to open the door of the room but it was locked.
Then he noticed the window in the room.
Pulling the curtains in front of the window, Luck was greeted by iron bars that made it impossible to escape from the window. The only view from the window was the endless forest.
Click.
When Luck, startled by the sound of the door opening, turned to the door, a woman in black and white maid clothes greeted him.
"Good morning, my lord is waiting for you in the dining room."
"Who are you, why did you kidnap me?"
The maid did not answer.
"Who is this person you call my lord? What business do you have with me?"
The maid pointed to the door and said, "My lord is waiting for you in the dining room, let's not keep him waiting any longer."
Realizing that the servant would not give him any answer, Luck desperately began to follow the servant.
The house was a small two-storeyed place. After following the maid down the stairs, they passed through a door and met a man sitting at the opposite end of a long table.
Realizing that Luck had come in with the maid, the man took a glance at Luck and then continued with the food in front of him without even bothering to stand up.
"Sit down."
The servant pulled out a chair for Luck to sit on.
Luck stood, refusing to sit down
"Why did you kidnap me, who are you?"
The man looked up from his food and looked back at Luck, his eyes cold.
"I told you to sit down."
A chill spread through the room, radiating from the man. Even the bar glass on the table was iced over.
Gulp.
Luck, afraid of the pressure radiating from the man, did as the man said and sat down.
After Luck sat down, the maid began to put various foods in front of Luck.
"5-star earthworm meat, 6-star glacier wolf meat, 4-star flame eagle meat..." While serving the meats that Luck had never heard of before, the maid introduced each dish one by one.
Luck stood in amazement looking at the food being served.
'Is this how people are treated when they are kidnapped in this world?
