Episode 27. unknown
It was enough to blame the sudden hallucinations for the security guards and mercenaries.
The river didn’t have to worry any more.
“I’ll just get up.”
“Then what about this one?”
Harold took out a photo from his chest and held it out.
Because it was stretched out in front, it was easy to see what was stamped in the river water.
A middle-aged woman with bobbed hair wore a luxurious scarf around her neck.
And Kang’s expression hardened.
“Uh… no. What picture is this?”
“You don’t know what kind of picture it is.”
bang-!
Kangsu hit the table with his palm.
At the same time as the loud sound resounded, the life force gushed out from Kang-soo’s whole body.
“Are you kidding me right now?”
“Oh, how can you call it Night River, which was also called silent terror because it was so excited?”
“Tell me. ···What is this.”
“This is for people. And if you do my favor, I’ll tell you. As well as information about this woman.”
Soon, Kang-soo held up the photo on the table and stared at it.
The woman in it had no choice but to be too familiar even if her face was familiar.
Harold smiled mysteriously at Kangsu’s actions.
“I was honestly surprised too. You look exactly like the woman in the picture you were carrying around.”
There is only one picture that Kangsu has been carrying since his days as a mercenary.
So Kang-soo took out the photo from his bosom and put it next to the photo he had just held.
Although older than in the picture in the pocket, she clearly resembles her mother.
“At that time, I heard that he had definitely passed away. Besides, you said you had no relatives.”
Of course, I’m not talking about personal details.
However, Kang-su was completely alone. Then, while he was tired of living as a mercenary, there was a time when he had a drink with Harold and complained.
“Really this way…. You have a good head.”
“You don’t even have a good head. Honestly, I didn’t know the day would come when I would use this information.”
“But I can’t listen with just that.”
“Really? I think that’s enough.”
“If you don’t like it, get up. If there is a photo anyway, it will be a real person, so it will take more time, but there is no problem.”
Kang-soo got up again and tried to head for the cafe door.
In response, Harold hurriedly opened his mouth.
“What more do you need? I’ll listen and then decide.”
“Do you still have information on the mercenary side?”
“It’s not bad.”
“Then, I would like you to find out if there is any evidence that Savnak has moved in the mercenary market.”
This time, Harold’s expression hardened.
Because he knows what kind of place ‘Savnak’ is.
“Isn’t it gone?”
“Recently, it was discovered that the account was operated there. And since I can’t explain the exact reason, please answer me if you’d like to find out.”
Who is in a hurry right now in this situation?
Of course, even while looking at the photos of Kang Soo, his fingertips trembled.
“How long will it be?”
“Listen when the requested request is finished. Instead, information about this… person right now.”
“Ugh, isn’t that against the rules?”
“Shall we not?”
Harold let out a sigh at the suggestion of pushing and pulling the river.
“Because I couldn’t see you, people have become quite clever.”
“It’s because you showed your hand first.”
What about the security mission? no. It was wrong that Harold had come all the way from America to Korea in the first place.
If Harold’s proposal had been pitched when Gangsoo was in Los Angeles, he might have already been caught up.
“My name is Jennifer Han, and my Korean name is Jinhee Han. Infectus Investment is the New York branch manager there. Age is 53 years old. I only know that far. All I met was while protecting the person I serve. Anything more than that is dangerous.”
Her mother’s name is Han Jin-hye. The woman in the photo is Han Jin-hee. Also, the face is similar.
The precipitation was bound to become more severe.
“Is the person you need to protect the one Harold mentioned?”
“that’s right. I will be in charge of security, but I need your skills.”
“Who is that?”
“New York State Senator Megan Taylor.”
It was then. PD Choi Yoon-ho’s chattering voice flowed into Kang-soo’s head.
“If you stay here, you won’t be able to hear anything outside, right? I heard in the past that during the Korean War, people who lived in a small village didn’t even know there was a war.”
“Please, I only want you to tell me your business.”
“No, there was a sniping incident in the middle of Seoul not too long ago. Do you know Meghan Taylor? Are you a U.S. senator? He is also considered as the next presidential candidate…”
This hallucination lasted longer than usual.
Kang-soo’s dazed eyes returned for an instant.
Seeing that, Harold tilted his head.
“What’s going on?”
“no. Rather, that Megan Taylor. Are you receiving assassination threats?”
“Did you know…?”
For a moment, Harold’s mood became heavy.
Woo-woo-woo-woo-
Then, a message alert came to Kang-soo’s cell phone.
Kang-soo glanced at him and answered his question with the corner of his mouth slightly raised.
“no. I guess. I’ll do a favor, so please hand over only the information necessary for security. . . . You can give it here.”
Kang-soo got a pen and memo from the cafe staff, wrote down his e-mail address, and handed it to Harold.
“It’s a belated request, but it could be really dangerous.”
“I have never done anything that was not risky. Rather, I should be sorry. I have an appointment, so I’ll go right away.”
“Thank you for listening.”
After saying goodbye, Kangsu immediately took a taxi and headed home.
.
.
.
Since it was midday on a weekday, there was not much traffic jam.
Arriving in front of the house, Kang-soo quietly opened the door to the semi-basement stairs.
rustle- rustle-
It is a semi-basement house where light does not come in well.
In addition, even the blackout curtains were meticulously drawn, so even during the day, the house could not be seen properly.
A black figure was seen from inside the house along with a suspicious sound.
“I feel very bad right now. I sincerely hope you do not stand still.”
With Kang-soo’s voice, the two black figures were startled and hurriedly took an attacking stance.
Anyway, all the windows in the semi-basement were blocked with iron bars, and the entrance was guarded by Kang-soo. There was no hole to escape from.
Then, the black figures seemed to exchange glances in the dark, and then immediately rushed at Kang-soo.
First, a kick flying from the left side of Kangsu.
Kang-soo moved forward faster than that and grabbed the nape of the black figure with his left hand. At that moment, the black figure on the right stabbed Kang-soo in the face with a knife he didn’t know where he pulled out.
Shuuk-
There, Kang-soo threw his head backwards to avoid it and swung it while holding the scruff of his neck.
“Gagging—!”
It was a technique he had used on Harold’s men earlier.
The black figures who were pinned to the wall immediately got up. The sword was held upright.
They watched as they caressed the nape of their necks.
“It’s real from now on. hold on well Otherwise, I will fold each bone in reverse.”
Kang-soo rushed at it, emitting terrifying lifeblood from his entire body.
There are two opponents with swords. In addition, the place was not wide, so it was difficult to avoid.
In such a narrow living room, the men who had grown on both sides swung their swords at high speed as if cutting through the darkness.
Even if one fails, I knew that the other would succeed.
puck-
Kang-soo lightly dodged the trajectory of the two knives that flew toward his neck and stomach, and cut the throat of a person with his elbow.
It was close to the front.
The other person, who was embarrassed by this, stabbed Kang-soo’s jacket in front of him.
Hook – hook!
A hot and sticky feeling is transmitted from the tip of the knife.
The black seal considered it a success. However, his face turns pale at the voice he hears from the other side.
“Goofy······!”
Only the black jacket remained. Because he passed by, another man who had been gasping for breath after being hit in the neck by Kang-soo was stabbed.
“Where have you been?”
I looked around, but I couldn’t see it.
It was obviously a situation that they should have gotten used to even in the dark.
Confused, In-young ran to the door.
Pak-
Then Kang-su’s hand jumped out from the side and grabbed In-young’s neck.
At the same time, In-young tried to swing the knife in her right hand, but was caught as well.
Wooddeuk- Chang.
The knife fell to the floor.
Kang-soo wanted to overturn the man he was holding onto, but as soon as In-young’s heel touched the floor, he stepped on his knee.
Wood deuk-
“Big!”
At the same time, Kang-soo covered his mouth with a sock that was rolling sideways.
This was to keep the screams from escaping.
The two figures were subdued like that.
When I turned on the lights, there were men in typical thief outfits, one with a knife in the stomach and the other with the knee bent the other way.
“You don’t have to tell me who it is. Even if I reported the current situation, I might use poison with excessive suppression… Because I intend to clean up things like this.”
Of course it was Japanese. Upon hearing this, the pupils of the two men begin to tremble violently.
Kangsu’s voice alone made me feel that those words were not lies.
Kang-soo, who was staring at them, called Gong Chi-young.
[What’s going on?]
“Lend me your car.”
[car? What kind of car is it all of a sudden? What’s going on?]
“I think we need to get rid of the body.”
[You really did have an accident after all? did you kill it already? how many?]
Gong Chi-young’s voice was sincere.
At this, Kangsu took a deep breath and said.
“Two, and I’m not dead yet. So bring some tea to my house. Carry it on and bury it or leave it out.”
[ah······.]
“If it’s a matter of laundry, I’ll give it to you later.”
[That’s not it, it’s my car that seats two.]
Kang-soo clenched his fists as something hot welled up in the nape of his neck.
“Get me some tea on your own.”
[wait.]
After hanging up the phone, I sent Gong Chi-yeong my home address.
Kang-soo’s gaze turned back to the two men. When the mask was removed, a face I had never seen before was revealed.
Are you in your late 20s?
Searching between the two of them, only a clamshell phone was found.
However, it was locked with a code number.
“If I ask for your password, won’t you tell me?”
“…”
“OK got it. You don’t have to tell me.”
widely-
“Big!”
Kangsu grabbed the stabbed man by the stomach. At the same time, as I was about to scream, I picked up another pile of socks and stuffed them into my mouth.
“Ugh!”
“know. that I don’t want to say I don’t even want to hear it Well, I don’t know if you really want to tell me…”
At that moment, the man whose stomach was caught nodded frantically.
“I’ll be very sorry if you don’t tell me that you know.”
Kangsu removed the socks from his mouth. The stockings were soaked with saliva from his pain and moaning.
“I will never wear this again. yes tell me It would be better if you could tell me who did it.”
“2… 4… 3… 1.”
He didn’t answer about the background, as if it was his last pride.
When I entered the number into my phone, it opened.
There was only one number on the call list.
Kang-soo entered the message there and looked at it. Dozens of messages were filled with only numbers.
Sending and receiving commands only through messages, not calls.
And this method is used by organizations that also serve as special agents among mercenaries.
“If you look at their skills, they are not Savnak, but what about those who use Savnak?”
Even when the name Savnak came up, the men’s expressions did not change.
I stabbed it just in case, but the expected reaction did not come out.
So I rolled up the men’s arms, but there were no tattoos that should have been there.
A picture of a large lion head with crossed swords and spears.
It was Savnak’s tattoo on the forearm of the man who killed Kangsu before returning.
