＜ Episode 26 ＞
Ekaterina’s complexion turned pale at the unfamiliar voice, and John’s eyes narrowed.
For Ivan, who cannot make contact with the outside world, John handed over the communication device he had in case of emergency.
– Well done. It can be said that it is a solution that is on the rise these days. Why don’t you try our side too?
“I’ll consider that after this is over.”
Listening to the voice that did not hide his excited feelings, John calmed down.
No matter how perfectly you plan, variables always happen on set.
John had too much experience to be embarrassed by this.
– Is your job a priority? ha ha ha! I like this one more! Work is fast and reliable!
“Enough and change Ivan.
You can tell a lot just by your voice and way of speaking.
Considering that he doesn’t use profanity for an underworld person, he may have been highly educated, or on the contrary, he may be a person who cares about his tone due to his inferiority complex for not being educated. Judging from the light tone, it would be closer to the latter.
An exaggerated smile and seemingly generous words meant Lee Ja was paying attention to his surroundings to solidify his position.
‘Then I can guess who it is.’
And these people are not so unfamiliar characters to John.
– You don’t have to. Now I’m replacing Ivan. You can think of my words as Ivan’s.
It’s a soft tone that seems to be conciliatory, but the coercive tone inside it tells you that you are a person who wants to do everything according to your own will.
“But not Ivan. isn’t it? Igor.”
– ···Have we ever met?
“I know that much even if we don’t meet each other.”
– ···You know who I am
“It doesn’t matter who you are. The important thing is that you’re blocking my conversation with my client.
A groan like a growl of a beast came from beyond the communication device, and Ekaterina’s shoulders flinched at the violence contained in the sound.
Because you have the ability to manipulate the other person’s crush, you react sensitively to the feelings of others.
That moment when the girl who had been flinching was about to turn pale.
Took.
John’s hand touched the girl’s head.
“Okay.”
It was a whisper so small that it could not be heard over the communication device, but it was enough to pierce the girl’s ear, and thanks to the clumsy hand gestures, the blush rose again on her whitening face.
– ···John Doe. A fixer from the slums. Knowing this much is enough. You know what it means to disobey me in Area 53?
The boldness from before had disappeared and a voice filled with violence was heard.
– Don’t be cocky and hand over the kid! Before you slaughter everyone around you!
Ekaterina’s face was about to turn pale again at the voice full of vile energy, but John’s expression was rather plain.
“try.”
– ···What?
“Try it.”
– Are you crazy?
“Then you really don’t understand the situation.
John’s cold voice silenced Igor.
“I don’t really know what it means to come from the slums. Even if you say that he is a tycoon of the underworld, it is a story that he is a flower in a greenhouse.”
John continued, having turned Igor, who was covered in blood and violence, into a child.
“There is nothing soft like an acquaintance to me. So does family. If there is such a thing, I would like to ask you to find it.”
– ···Damn it.
Ekaterina’s expression widened at Igor’s voice, which contained a lot of anger.
“So don’t talk nonsense and change Ivan. Are you sure you don’t know the situation? Time is wasted.”
– You will regret it.
“Don’t worry because you always have regrets.”
Igor was silent at John’s curt reply.
Because he was fully aware of the situation John was talking about.
I knew that an unknown organization was attached, and I couldn’t ignore John’s words, who secured Ekaterina faster than anyone else.
– It’s Ivan.
“Now it will be a story. I will ask.”
– Talk.
I could feel that Ivan’s voice was a little more energetic.
“Your request is to secure and protect Ekaterina. Can we say that the request has been completed at this point?”
John narrowed his eyes and chose each word carefully.
Normally, as soon as Ekaterina was secured, it would be enough to leave the area and hide, but the moment he met Ekaterina and figured out the girl’s identity, doubts arose in John’s mind.
The child who looked like a miracle was not the result of reproductive activity, but a design child, and even a person with supernatural powers.
It is said that the biological father is correct, but is there really fatherhood?

Maybe Ivan was playing a father trying to protect his daughter with a different purpose?
From the point of view of the solver, it is not a matter of knowing the details of the client’s circumstances, but this time it was not a general request, and considering the compensation for it, I thought I should know the details.
Because it’s common to be used and abandoned.
– ······.
Ivan was silent over the communication device, and John was able to harden his feelings a little more.
“Ask again. Has the quest been completed? If it is incomplete, it means that we must continue to protect Ekaterina. For how long?”
Ekaterina’s face stiffened as if she had read the unusual expression in John’s words.
He is an extraordinary child that is as good as an adult.
She, too, sensed that things were going strangely.
– Say it’s done!
At that moment, Igor’s rough voice rang out.
– You really think there’s no way to get rid of you? yes! I can’t kill you! But you can bury them completely! If you harden it into concrete and bury it in the ground, it’s over! Then one day I will die!
“Hoo.”
John gasped in admiration at Igor’s cry.
It was one of the ways John himself had thought of it, and it was odd that Igor thought of it too.
– I think I kept him alive because I didn’t know how! Fucking face or you’re done!
Igor also had his own difficulties.
No matter how hard he tried to cause a coup and hit the back of the head, Ivan is the one who made the organization.
Isn’t it worth knowing that they are still using the name of the Pushkin Mafia?
To change the name of the Pushkin Mafia to the Borkov Mafia had to be symbolic.
It was the public execution of Ivan.
Ivan, who is said to be immortal, must be killed by Igor in front of everyone’s eyes to gain a perfect position, but if not, he hardens it in cement and buries it?
Just like Igor had done, it was clear that those seeking his back would appear like mushrooms after rain.
That’s why Igor’s patience had reached its limit when this situation came.
How long had it been since Igor’s hissing breathing echoed over the communication device?
– ···The request will be completed.
– Great!
Ekaterina’s face turned white as she heard Ivan’s weak voice and Igor’s cheers.
“i get it.”
– great! good! Then solver! Bring the kid here…
“I’m sorry I interrupted you.”
John cut Igor’s voice full of joy in the middle and asked in a cold voice.
“How are you going to pay the balance?”
– ···uh?
Ignoring Igor’s bewildered voice, John continued.
“The request between you and me has been completed. If that’s the case, I’ll have to pay the rest of the commission.”
– If it’s money, I’ll give it to you. I’ll even pay the express fee!
Igor’s voice echoed as if he was trying to show off his grandiosity, but John shook his head.
“It’s not about money. Igor. I don’t accept requests like this with money.”
– . . . What is it?
“That’s for the two of you to talk about. First of all, my business comes first. Will you admit that?”
– …you’re nasty too.
Ivan sighed behind Igor’s subdued voice, but John snorted and sneered.
“I did my duty diligently, and I got a confirmation. Then you have the right to be compensated for it. What’s wrong with that?”
– ······.
Through the silent device, John opened his mouth.
“Then pay the balance. Otherwise, I don’t know what I would do.”
Ekaterina’s shoulders twitched at those cold words.
There was no way that the clever woman couldn’t understand the meaning behind John’s words.
– ···This is not a story to be told by telecommunication.
“Then we can meet.”
Igor’s voice echoed at John’s blunt tone.
– great! Then let’s meet and talk. The fixer gets the balance! We’re getting a kid! how is it?
“That’s a good idea.”
Looking at Ekaterina, who flinched, John answered.
– great! Then come over here! I’ll even pay extra!
“That would be difficult.”
– ···What?
“What do I believe in entering the Mafia’s lair?”
Igor couldn’t answer what was so obvious.
***
His slim appearance and long limbs made the suit look good on him.
Neatly combed hair, distinct features, and a natural smile on the lips reminded me of a confident elite salaryman, but all of that impression was destroyed by a single object.
knife.
The existence of a sword slanted around his waist showed what kind of person this person was more than anything else.
“It is an honor to meet you.”
“What glory?”
The man waving his hand with a friendly smile was quite likeable, but the man did not let go of his tension.
The body seen in the scan is obviously a fragile body without a single implant, but as soon as that fragile body moves, no one will be able to sustain life here.
“Here you are.”
The man frowned at the low, melancholy voice.
“What do you do with fashion? It’s not like nobody’s looking for you because you’re dressed so gloomily every time. It’s not like I’m pretending to be a shaman.”
“Remember.”
At the man’s words, Kurak replied with a smile.
It was a bruising tone, but he knew that he was saying it because he was worried about himself.
“So what happened? It’s not like I don’t know your abilities, so why bother calling me?”
“yes.”
Kurak wiped the smile from his lips.
“I think there is a talent on the other side. It doesn’t matter if you’re halfway, but that’s not how you work.”
“Hmm.”
The man nodded as if he understood Kurak’s words.
The value of life is insignificant Luna, but because of that, the value of life is greater than anything else.
In particular, if you are a person with abilities like Kurak, you could say that it would be a loss even if you exchanged it with a truck of insignificant guys gathered here.
“Then it’s obvious what I’m going to do.”
“right. As always, please.”
“Don’t worry about that.”
A warrior who has been recognized for walking confidently with a sword.
A fishy smile bloomed on Tyrone’s lips.
