Episode 188. Shake (2)
A few days later. Representative office of Ten Tsubasa International.
Jennifer Han waited impatiently for an answer on the extension line.
Tee-
[CEO.]
“say. How did it go?”
[…] Camo CEO Han Kang-soo said that it would be difficult to find time again.]
At that moment, Jennifer Han’s expression contorted.
It was already the fifth time that I was blacked out without being able to offer a promise. I tried to visit him first, but I was rejected because I couldn’t meet him unless we had an appointment.
couldn’t even make a phone call.
Woo-woo-woo-woo-
Then, as if he had been waiting, Kamikura Horyuji called.
“… I got a call.”
[Is it still with the CEO of Camo Investment?]
I have already received a number of confirmation calls.
Each time, Jennifer Han was in trouble because she couldn’t make an appointment.
“sorry… … .”
[Why is it so slow? Is there anything you hate about that side?]
“There is no such thing.”
[If you do, is it because you are arrogant?]
“… That is not being figured out.”
Usually, when you become a representative of a famous company, there are many external activities along with exchanges between companies. At first, I tried to arrange a place so that we could meet by chance using such a gap.
However, Han Kang-soo, CEO of Camo Investment, did not make a separate appointment with anyone.
Even though it has been months since the company was created, nothing has changed. At the same time, it continued to stimulate the curiosity of those interested in Camo Investment.
[Or— is it because you are lacking?]
“… No face. Because CEO Han Kang-soo did not engage in any external activities… … .”
That was the explanation I gave last time.
Over the receiver, Kamikura Horyuji’s quiet voice flowed.
[Big—He seems to be a troublesome man in many ways.]
“I will try to find more ways.”
[I do.]
The call hung up with an answer.
Jennifer Han let out a sigh with her brow furrowed.
At that time, Jihuchen, who was standing next to him, quietly opened his mouth.
“At this level, I wonder if I can go out with a little force.”
“If it’s coercive— you mean kidnapping?”
“No matter how great it is, it is only the representative of a single company. I don’t think we can keep putting off what the elder wants for no reason.”
There was no clear purpose. To turn down just one meeting like this… … .
It was because it was frustrating to just watch Jihuchen from the sidelines.
“hmm… no. Let’s try to find it again.”
“Didn’t you refuse last time too?”
“This is not a company. Let’s get out right away.”
Jennifer Han got up right away, getting ready. Jihoo Chen and Travis Floyd followed behind her.
I knew the address because I had previously done a background check.
It was still before work time, so it took about 40 minutes to get to the nearby area.
However, Jennifer Han sat in the back seat of the car and made a puzzled expression.
“Is it really this way? Aren’t you on the wrong track?”
In response to Jennifer Han’s question, Jihuchen from the passenger seat checked the navigation system and said.
“… It seems right.”
I left the main road and entered a narrow road. It didn’t end there.
I wanted to keep going up the long slope, but I passed a road that only two cars could pass for a long time.
As I continued to climb, the car stopped.
Travis Floyd, who was driving, also wondered.
“arrive… I did.”
There were only old villas and multi-family houses of two or three stories around.
Jennifer Han was unfamiliar with such a neighborhood, so she wondered if she should get off.
“Are you really here?”
In response to such a question, Jihuchen checked the villas around.
“I am… I haven’t learned Korean yet.”
“all right. See for yourself.”
After getting out of the car, Jennifer Han took a few steps and found the villa at the address.
「Dongwoon Villa A01」
Jennifer Hahn’s gaze moved over the floor to the villa window. He muttered slowly with an expression of disbelief.
“Really here… live?”
It was an unimaginable place where the CEO of a company that moves billions of dollars a day lives.
Jennifer Han was dumbfounded at this, then went back to the car and waited.
.
.
.
It was past 10pm.
Kangsu got into the back seat of the car and got off when he arrived near the house. Simon and Jack, who were riding in the front seats on either side, got off together and followed.
click—
At that time, Jennifer Han got out of the car parked on the other side and showed her face.
“I can finally see you.”
Of course I could figure out who it was. At the same time, seeing the same face as her mother, the displeasure soared.
Kang-soo stopped walking and pretended to be a first-timer.
“who… Do you?”
“My name is Jennifer Han of Ten Tsubasa International. I kept in touch with you, you remember.”
“ah… … .”
At her question, Kang-soo paused.
At the same time, Jennifer Han frowned slightly between her eyebrows. It was because I was trying to make an appointment just a few hours ago.
Kangsu thought a little more before opening his mouth.
“I seem to remember. Rather, how did you get here?”
“I really want to see you.”
Kangsu stared at her words.
“When Ten Tsubasa meets someone, he blindly visits them like this.”
In response to the obvious displeasure, Jennifer Han put on a slightly embarrassed expression.
“Please misunderstand. That’s because CEO Han Kang-soo didn’t meet him… … .”
“I mean. If you don’t meet me, it’s always like this.”
It was a situation where we met each other anyway.
Jennifer Han brightened her eyes to make sure to use the situation.
“I tried to make an appointment several times. However, CEO Han Kang-soo is very busy, so it was inevitable.”
“I don’t like meetings like this. So, make an appointment again next time.”
Kang-soo ignored her and tried to enter the villa’s semi-basement entrance.
At that time, Travis Floyd, a bodyguard attached to Jennifer Han’s side, ran in front of Kang-soo, stopped him, and spoke in English.
“Our representative said he has something to say, so stay still.”
At this, Kangsu stared at Travis Floyd.
Then Jack, who was standing next to Kang-soo, strode forward.
“Our cap… No, didn’t the representative tell me to make an appointment again?”
Travis Floyd was also not at all small with a thick body and a height of nearly 190 cm.
However, standing face to face with Jack, who was well over 2 meters tall, made a huge difference.
“… Do you think size is everything? Getting out of the way would be good for your health.”
“That’s awful… Where do mosquitoes bark?”
At Jack’s muttering, Travis Floyd’s eyes turned to Jihuchen and Jennifer Han.
In response, Jihuchen exchanged glances with Jennifer Han and nodded. The sign of acceptance is gone.
“Are you going to come to your senses only after getting hurt?”
At that question, Jack’s gaze was directed elsewhere as if looking at a distant mountain.
“Where do mosquitoes keep barking?”
“… I was impatient to die.”
hook-
Travis Floyd reached out to grab him by the collar. However, before reaching the collar, Jack’s large hand grabbed him.
“It looks like you rolled this into kimchi soup out of courtesy.”
“What is he saying now! Big!”
Travis Floyd, who tried to pull his hand away, felt that he did not budge. At the same time, Jack’s wrist began to throb.
Travis Floyd immediately swung his left elbow. It was an attack that no one could easily block because it was right in front of them.
puck-
But again, Jack raised his hand to block it.
“Are you going to attack first? Do you really want to try it with me?”
Travis, whose ego was crumpled, kicked up his knee and forcibly grabbed his right hand and removed it.
Pak—
It was blocked by Jack’s elbow, which was lowered before he knew it.
Travis’ attack did not end there. I grabbed Jack’s arm and pulled him forward to break his balance and then continued to attack.
hook-
But Travis’ hand cut through the air.
In the meantime, Jack swung his log-like elbows and knees in quick succession.
Puff puck— Pup puck—
Travis also made fun of himself, but he couldn’t avoid all of them and several of them broke through the guard and were pushed back.
Quadang—
Travis fell to the floor and immediately got up and tried to fight back.
“Stop!”
It was Jihuchen’s voice.
Travis Floyd paused and glared at Jack.
Meanwhile, Jihuchen stood by Jennifer Han’s side and spoke.
“you… Isn’t that Mad Bear?”
“… … .”
Jack didn’t answer, frowned and twisted his neck, glancing at Jihuchen.
“Mad Bear, Jack Cortez… . is not it?”
“what-“
Unsure answers were more like yes.
Moreover, Jihuchen was convinced that he was not mistaken.
“Latinx and taller than 2 meters. And his Muay Thai skills are fast enough to be out of proportion to his size. Jack Cortez is right.”
“whatever.”
“… I don’t know why you are CEO Han Kang-soo’s bodyguard, but our CEO just wants to talk. So, why don’t you settle it amicably?”
“Nope.”
At Jack’s neat answer, Jihuchen’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.
Travis Floyd was already overpowered. It was obvious that nothing would work out if things just happened there.
In such a situation, Ji Hu Chen met Han Kang Su’s eyes.
“CEO Han Kang-soo. Our representative just wants to talk. Could you give me a minute?”
“I don’t like it.”
Kangsu’s answer made the atmosphere heavier.
Then Jennifer Han, who had been quiet for a while, stepped out.
“… Do you really have to do this?”
“Forcibly coming to a person who doesn’t want to meet and using force, is there any reason to face it?”
“that… … .”
“Excuse me, I don’t want to hear more or talk to you.”
Kang-soo did not give even a small gap to start a conversation.
Jennifer Han also felt that, so she thought it was a formidable opponent.
“… Let’s go back.”
“CEO.”
Jennifer Han secretly thought about kidnapping.
But they had already shaken hands.
In response, Jennifer Han spoke in a quiet voice to Jihuchen’s ear.
“That man named Jack Cortez. Are you an easy-going person?”
“… That seems difficult.”
Besides Jack Cortez, Simon was also beside Kang-soo.
It was difficult for Jihuchen to force anything because he hadn’t even grasped the character’s skills.
“Then it’s right to get out of here.”
“… All right.”
“There have been many mistakes. I promise to see you next time.”
Kangsu did not answer.
Meanwhile, Jennifer Han got into the car with Jihu Chen.
In the meantime, Travis Floyd, who had been glaring at Jack, also walked slowly, got into the driver’s seat, and started the engine.
The car with three people went down the alley like that.
Kangsu stared at the back of the car. Meanwhile, Simon spoke from the side.
“Are you okay? I think they recognized Jack.”
In fact, Kang-su tried to fix them with Jennifer Han.
However, they may have informed someone of their destination in their own way. Even disappearing under such circumstances could ruin the plan.
Besides, there were other reasons for not touching it.
“That man. This is Jihoo Chen, who was a member of the Black Kirin.”
I didn’t know when I saw her standing behind Jennifer Han at a party the other day. I just knew it when I heard the voice for the first time.
“Black giraffe? The Black Kirin that was rumored to be secretly operated by the Chinese government? Have you ever met them?”
However, Simon had never met the Black Kirin, and there was only information he had heard about the name.
Kang Soo met him and the Black Kirin only once. In the meantime, Jack, who was dissatisfied with his lack of relaxation, also thought of Jihuchen.
“Ah—that Jihuchen. I remember. Cap.”
It was the person I met when I was Nightwing.
Of course, Nightwing’s crew were wearing masks so that only the eyes were visible on their faces, so only the pupils could be recognized. Nevertheless, Jack’s size and skills were so outstanding that Jihuchen recognized him.
“Now they’re going to sell Jack’s back first. Well, until recently, there was only mercenary activity, so there will be no problem with being officially tracked.”
There would be no entry records for the Polish side, so there would be nothing to be discovered. And I was prepared for any unforeseen circumstances.
So far, precipitation has been within the expected range.
In the meantime, Simon muttered while listening to Kang-soo.
“Come to think of it— didn’t the Black Giraffe disappear a long time ago? Is it 2009? I heard that they all died in a failed operation in Zand, Islamabad, Pakistan.”
“I knew that too, but I don’t think so.”
Kang Soo also recalled the image of Jihuchen.
