Episode 46. sincerity

Jennifer Han took up residence in a penthouse overlooking Seoul.

In such an abode, Jennifer Han stepped out of the shower and put on a gown.

Charles, who had been waiting in the living room, approached.

“They say that the handling of Jo Young-gil has failed.”

“How is the situation?”

Jennifer Hahn went to the kitchen in her gown and poured whiskey into a glass.

The glass of clear, brown whiskey waved in her hand.

In the meantime, Charles explained the things that had been sorted out.

“It is said that Jo Young-gil was kidnapped by a woman. And there is a masked man who appears in the middle.”

“Are there any signs of identification?”

“They said there was none. For now, the officials at the mansion told me to put everything in order.”

Jennifer Han’s head nodded calmly.

“Kidnapped… why did you kidnap Jo Young-gil?”

“To guess, there may have been a dangerous organization among the places where Jo Young-gil drew money.”

“You mean they hired a pro?”

“There is no possibility at all. First of all, Jennifer Han blocked Jo Young-gil’s connections, so he must have been desperate. Then, it is judged that the place where the money was scattered may have been touched by mistake.”

It was my own inference.

In response, Jennifer Han nodded slowly.

“Well… Jo Young-gil’s existence can be annoying to them as well.”

Hard work at Infectus Investments.

I deliberately turned ‘chirashi’ to the stock market. This is because we need to inform them that the head of the Infectus Korean branch has changed.

With that alone, all of Jo Young-gil’s ties were severed.

The explanation made some sense, and Jennifer Han pondered.

“Is tracking difficult?”

“I asked the police to check the CCTV, but after falling into a blind spot on the outskirts of Gyeonggi-do, tracking became impossible.”

“I’m worried. Aren’t you talking nonsense…”

“I will try to find more.”

Jennifer Han shook her head and the whiskey glass she was holding.

“no. Don’t stand out any more right now. Rather, has Kim Chang-soo’s side been completely organized?”

“We’ve even sorted out the lines that the parents’ stations have been in contact with recently.”

“It’s good. Ah, if Jo Young-gil is found alive. Even then, overdo it a little and finish it. It’ll be annoying if you get cornered and brag about it.”

“Still, he was the one who served as the head of the Korean branch. You will not easily open your mouth to things that do not benefit you. I would trade anything.”

Even in the organization, it was not that Cho Young-gil was promoted to the head of the Korean branch without any reason.

It did have its own advantages.

That’s negotiating skills. My head worked so well that I felt mean in the part of the transaction. Thanks to this, I was able to come into contact with a significant number of figures in Korea’s political and economic circles under the name Infectus.

However, such abilities were useless in the face of overwhelming power.

Just like in front of Jennifer Han…

same time.

Theresa spread a large piece of plastic all over the floor.

Jo Young-gil, who saw this scene, swallowed only saliva.

“Sir, you’re not trying to kill me… are you?”

He had been outraged until just now, and then his words rose.

In response, Teresa held a red drawing knife between her right fingers.

It seemed like magic.

“You have to hold it upside down to slit his throat.”

“Now, wait a minute. Isn’t there something you want from me! I’ll tell you anything!”

It was because he was in the mood to cut his neck right away.

In addition, because of the sunglasses and mask, it was impossible to see Teresa’s face, so it was difficult to identify gaps in her expression or reaction.

If I could confirm anything, I would have tried to persuade her with words…

All actions are simple and blind.

“Tell me what? I don’t really need it. Oh, where did you put the rope?”

Theresa went back to the seat where the paper bag had been.

When his back was completely turned, Jo Young-gil tried to move the chair with his toes.

Shu Woo-wook – Tak!

For a moment, Theresa fired the red drawing knife without even looking at it like before.

The target this time was between the eyebrows, not the front of the groin.

However, the knife stopped right in front of Jo Young-gil’s nose.

The handle of the knife was held in the hand of Kang-su, who had jumped out from somewhere.

The tip of the knife and Jo Young-gil’s forehead slightly touched.

“Ahh······.”

At that moment, Jo Young-gil felt his lower body getting warm.

Theresa stood up at the sight and spoke in French so that Cho Young-gil could not understand.

“What is it, Soo. still alive But what is that strange mask?”

Since he must have kidnapped Jo Young-gil, he used the same mask he wore earlier.

Theresa genuinely wondered if that was odd even for Theresa to see.

To this Kangsu replied in French.

“It was just there. And where did you learn those words?”

“A movie or a drama? But did you come sooner than expected?”

“Someone gave me the exact address. And what is this doing? Why are you kidnapping Jo Young-gil?”

“Isn’t that the one Soo was after?”

Theresa seemed unconcerned.

Kangsu let out a sigh in response to that response.

“I will take care of my own business.”

“Soo. Isn’t that too far fetched? Where did Soo, who was once the head of Ejisto’s special part, go? Have you completely lost your senses after taking a break for two years?”

“What do you want to say?”

Kang-soo threw away the light-hearted atmosphere and looked at Teresa sharply.

“This is what it means.”

In response, Theresa swung her wrist.

At that moment, two red drawing knives flew aiming at Kang-su’s head.

Shuuk?!

Kang-soo ducked to the side and avoided it.

At the same time, Teresa approached at high speed and raised her foot in the direction Kangsu avoided.

puck?! Aww.

A shock that was heavier than expected was transmitted to Kang-soo’s arm.

It was an attack that increased the impact with exquisite swing and speed, not strength.

“You seem really blunt.”

“do not be like this.”

“Nope?”

Theresa approached faster than before. Then he swung his arms with three drawing knives between the fingers of each hand.

Shaaagh!

The attack aimed precisely at the inside of the neck and elbow drew a trajectory.

It was a place where blood vessels passed through, and if the blade dug even a little, it would be a fatal wound.

Shuak! Shook!

It got faster and faster.

Kang-soo, who was narrowly dodging, grabbed her wrist and threw it with a reverse bend. It was a technique that Hawk O’Brien’s bodyguards were also helpless against.

hook-

But Teresa jumped up, twisted her way out, and landed cleanly.

“Are you serious?”

“…”

Maybe Teresa wasn’t wrong.

I just said two years, but in fact, it was because Kang-soo lived away from battle for 9 years before returning.

In the meantime, there were fights of their own, but they couldn’t even compare to when they had been fighting real battles.

“Sorry.”

“···what?”

“I forgot.”

“what?”

“What does it mean to be sincere?”

awesome

Kang-soo gave strength with his fist, just like at Jo Young-gil’s mansion.

Kangsu’s mood began to change in the ritual-like action of something.

“S, Soo…?”

“From now on, I won’t be moderate.”

At the same time, Kang-soo kicked off the ground.

Pak-

In an instant, the distance with Teresa grew closer. At the same time, Kangsu’s attack led to a one-two and rushed to Teresa.

Even though it was a simple attack, Teresa did not attempt a counterattack, only dodging backwards.

But that was a trick.

The fist, loaded with heaviness, changed to a straight line and followed her.

Pak-

Theresa tried to kick Kang-su’s wrist with her foot.

At that moment, Kang-soo withdrew his arm and twisted his elbow along with his body.

puck!

Startled, Teresa barely raised her arm to block it.

However, the body floated up and crashed into the wall.

Quaang?!

“Wow!”

[Oh yea!]

At the same time as Teresa’s scream, Gong Chi-yeong’s cheers erupted from Kang-soo’s earphone.

It was because the situation of the two was being relayed like a radio from the beginning.

Since it had been empty for a long time, dust rose thickly from the floor.

Shuaaa

Two drawing knives flew through the dust.

‘How many bags do you have?’

Chae Chaeng.

Kangsu lightly dodged the knives and fired a kick into the dust.

puck-

Something heavy touched Kangsoo’s shin.

Theresa had picked up a pipe lying on the floor and plugged it up.

“…”

“…doesn’t it hurt?”

“at all.”

Kangsu calmly swung his foot harder and even removed the pipe.

At that moment, she quickly backed away from Theresa and threw the drawing knife again.

It was closer than before.

The knife seemed to be driven into Kang-su’s shoulder and chest, but cut through the air and got stuck in the wall.

“…!”

I thought Teresa would be able to hit it this time as well.

However, it ended in vain, and I urgently found where the river had moved.

Chow ah-

“surrender. After all, it won’t work for Soo.”

The person who just heard the sound of dragging the floor was Kang-soo.

Before he knew it, Kang-su stood behind Teresa and tried to kick it, but stopped.

“What are we going to do? He showed up after a long time and interfered with my work. Are you saying that if you stop after provoking it, it will stop?”

Kangsu asked sincerely.

Gong Chi-young’s collection even shook his mind and robbed his computer. It couldn’t have ended quietly if there was no good reason.

If it was nonsense, even Theresa would not have thought to look at it.

As a result, Kang-soo’s sincerity came out as a way to live.

Teresa, who was caught behind her, shouted with both hands raised.

“Harold! I knew Uncle Harold was getting information about Savnak.”

“···mister?”

I was referring to Harold Hudson, the bodyguard of New York Senator Megan Taylor.

I never dreamed that that name would come out of Theresa’s mouth.

“How do you know him?”

“He’s a man I’ve known since childhood. But do I have to stay like this all the time?”

Just in case, Kang-soo was still standing behind Teresa, giving off a hint of murder.

Theresa didn’t even look back because she wasn’t giving her a chance.

“If you know Harold, you know. Why did you do this?”

“Soo is…”

Kangsu glared fearfully at the back of Theresa’s head, spewing a stronger life force than before.

If it was an excuse that didn’t work, it was the will to attack.

[Hit one, hit one, hit one.]

From earlier, the timid Gong Chi-yeong’s voice continued to be heard in my ear with earphones plugged in.

Of course, Gong Chi-young was cautious because he knew that the situation was serious.

belt-

Once I turned off my earphones.

[one-]

“If you don’t speak properly, you will know.”

“Me too because of Savnak!”

“you? why?”

“The enemy of my parents.”

“···enemy?”

Come to think of it, Teresa had never talked about her parents.

First of all, in Ejisto, it was forbidden to ask the outside about the family members or the relationship around them…

“At the age of 5, both of you were working as doctors for NGOs and died at the hands of mercenaries who supported the rebels.”

“…You mean that mercenary is Savnak?”

“that’s right. They killed my parents. Then I was raised by mercenaries. I have foster fathers now, but I can’t forgive them.”

Sabnak of the mercenary world. I knew it was the worst in any way, but it was outrageous that they even attacked doctors from NGOs.

This was a shock to Kangsu. It was because it was Teresa, who always won on her own, but never felt wrinkled.

I never dreamed that there was such a big wound.

It was so surprising that it made me laugh out loud.

“There is no more Sabnak on the mercenary side.”

“I know. That they were all killed by a mercenary called Night River.”

“…Did you hear from Harold?”

I didn’t know how far Teresa knew.

“I don’t know who. I’ve only heard that Night River is now fully retired… Well, a mercenary like that would be stuck in the mountains of Alaska or Switzerland and live fishing.”

He seemed to think of it as an old mercenary. However, it was similarly matched.

Besides, Harold also lied to protect the river as much as possible.

“I’ll check with Harold about you.”

“Whoa—thank you.”

Kang-soo let go of his life.

Only then was Theresa able to stand up with a sigh of relief.

“But how did you avoid it earlier? What is that move?”

It was referring to the situation where Kang-soo quickly dodged the knife he had thrown while falling back.

If it was a human being, it was because the timing was unconditionally right.

At that moment, Kang-soo’s mind recalled the words his deceased mother had told him.

“Kangsu-ya, you must never let it be known that you are different from other people. Understand?”
