114: Take control and see (3)
‘Since when?’
[A vehicle followed from 1 minute ago was attached.]
Cheol-woo glanced at the side mirror. He was able to find the suspicious vehicle in it at once.
‘Why did you decide to follow me?’
[We’ve been keeping the same distance from 1 minute ago, and copying the behavior of this car within 3 seconds.]
As you can tell just by looking at them, their follow-up was simple. Just keeping the same distance with a few cars in between was enough room for doubt.
Cheol-woo also noticed that the Warrior had learned his pattern. Each individual may have a different method of identifying the vehicle following, but the Warrior is undoubtedly just learning his method of identification.
So I was more confident. For a mercenary to see another person around him 24 hours a day, it was like a blessing from God.
‘Expand the surrounding situation and do a detailed search.’
[It requires more energy than before. Should I use electricity from a car battery?]
[…] expands and activates the precision search. Approach of suspicious vehicle has been confirmed.]
The map that the Warrior had projected onto his retina widened in an instant. At the same time, the locations of several vehicles following this car were marked.
“Who is this area?”
Cheol-woo asked Paul, who was sitting in the passenger seat. He replied lightly, snooping at the grotesquely modified truck.
“…if I had to ask, it would be a bummer. Because this side of the river is close to their territory. Why, what, those Chinese guys are waiting here… standing there, maybe?”
“There is such a proverb in Korea. There is a proverb that says, ‘You can catch people.’
“This is nonsense! There is an unwritten rule on this floor. He never makes a fuss in places close to Manhattan… If you break this rule, the police won’t be able to stand still… Why are they running at such a risk?”
If you value efficiency, some people will be marginalized. If the government tightens its belt like that, it becomes impossible for everyone to have equal access to public services.
It was the same here in New York. In Manhattan, where land is expensive and wealthy, police are overflowing, but when crossing the river, security is relatively poor.
As a result, the gangs were all kicked out of Manhattan. Only the mafia was quietly acting as a businessman in it.
Thanks to this, there was an unwritten rule between the gangs and the police. It was an implicit rule that there would be no major accidents on the side close to Manhattan.
Because of this invisible rule, New York is proud of its safety in the United States. Of course, going out at night was still dangerous.
“Do you think it’s a big deal to break that rule, or someone poked that much money…?”
“Damn, this is such a big deal. Even the incident that happened over there is going to shake the whole of New York.
“What do you think, it was going to happen someday anyway? It was just a matter of when.”
New York was a place where gangs from all over the world flocked to eat the bonanza. The New York police, unable to handle them, secretly handed over all the problems to the federal government and pretended to be ignorant.
It was even more surprising that in a country where gun ownership is legal, the crime rate is so low. Of course, statistics always have a hidden trick behind them.
Cheol-woo changed lanes while talking to Paul. It was to close the car to the edge and block it from being surrounded on all sides.
Then he changed the direction of the car. The Queensboro Bridge through Roosevelt Island was modified from the plan to enter Manhattan through the Queens Midtown Tunnel.
“Hey, what the hell are you going to do?”
As soon as he changed lanes, Paul asked with an anxious expression. In this dark area, I try to make big things small, but this little guy seemed to be only contemplating making big things bigger.
“The people I had to meet someday came to me. So, I’m going to try to sort this out right now. In Korea, this is said to be ‘there is a ancestral rite after seeing rice cakes.’ Huh!”
“Hey! Are you crazy, psychopath? Why are you making things big on purpose?”
“That way we can do it all at once.”
“The backseat…, what are you going to do with the backsides?”
“Why do I have to do that? As you said, the car is an MS-13, and the case is from the Houkchung area. And I’m wearing sunglasses like this. Unless I’m caught on the spot, who’s going to hold me accountable?”
Cheol-woo tapped the steering wheel with his finger and said slowly. Hearing his words, Paul immediately wanted to get out of the car.
At the same time, Cheolwoo was slowing the car down. As if trying to seduce those who are following them…
“Hey, I’m out of here. No, as of today, I will retire from security.”
“like! Have you ever made some money? Even on the Chelsea side, if it was not in Manhattan, the office rent would have been too high, wouldn’t it?”
“…Damn it!”
At that one word, Paul’s movements, as if he was about to jump out of the car at any moment, stopped. And spit out the swear words of resignation from his mouth.
It was just as Chul-Woo said. I couldn’t survive in this damn place without spending as much as I had earned.
Thanks to this, he continued to eat pizza every day, and his weight was bound to increase.
“What do you want from me?”
“Linda’s bodyguard! Your force is of little use, but only your brain and experience would be credible.”
“Sheesh! Anyway, it’s completely rubbed off on you.”
“How many people in the world have skills like me? And do you think there will be someone to stop them?”
“… 5,000 dollars a week. And let me pick the three team members I want.”
“call! Please take good care of Linda in the future.”
The car following from behind suddenly accelerated as if to congratulate them on their deal. And on Cheol-woo’s retina, cars coming from all directions were displayed.
Now that the pursuit group had gathered, it was about to start a full-scale hunt. The car was just entering Queens Boulevard.
[There are 8 chase vehicles. The two are trying to return to the front.]
‘What do you mean you’ll never let me cross the bridge? Warrior, can you find out if there is a boss of Hookchung among them?’
[··· As a result of CCTV search, no one is known as the boss of Hookchung. Instead, a second-class character named Hong Tao was found.]
‘The bosses don’t work together. I don’t know that I’m an example. Erase all screens that show me on the Warrior CCTV!’
[··· Already in edit mode.]
“good!”
Again, he was a warrior. Now he seemed to have completely adapted to his pattern of behavior.
Because there was a Warrior, I was able to proceed with my work with confidence. Of course, even when the Warrior wasn’t there, it was his favorite way to grow things and organize them all at once…
A car tried to block the direction of the truck. Their car was an ordinary car.
Pablo’s horse was a Humvee-styled monster truck. The weight of the vehicle and the power of the engine were good enough to push such an ordinary vehicle as it is.
“Shall we see how good their driving skills are?”
“Are you going to follow them, …?”
Paul noticed his intentions and asked. As they blocked the lane to the bridge, Cheol-woo turned the steering wheel in the direction they wanted.
It was as if the lion was moving as the hyenas drove. As if to watch what kind of jokes they make…
As Cheol-Woo moved as intended, they moved closer to the car with great momentum. Like a pilot who docks a large ship at the pier, they struggled to move the monster truck at will.
Boo and King! thud! Snuggle up! Woodang Tang!
The truck driven by Cheol-woo behaved as if it was going in the direction they wanted. Then, suddenly, he accelerated and caught the rear of them slightly.
In addition to its speed, the car immediately lost its balance and staggered when a heavy truck collided from behind. He then deviated from the route and smashed into the steel frame of an overpass under construction.
Perhaps thanks to the sacrifice of the car that had become a tragic loss, the truck driven by Cheol-woo stopped in the direction of Woodside, not Roosevelt Island. If you keep going like this, you will be heading towards the base of Hookchung.
“Do you know the geography of New York?”
“I know better than you!”
“Ebosho, I’m a New York native…”
“Even if you were a native, wouldn’t you have gone out of town?”
“…that’s it, but…”
Living in Seoul didn’t mean I knew all the roads. If you just follow the road you’ve been going to, you might have seen more places you haven’t been to than people from other countries.
It was his first time in New York, too, but he had a warrior. He was a faithful helper who navigated the route around him just by thinking of the desired destination.
It was intended to approach their stronghold, pretending to be chasing them as they wished. Those who did not know his intentions worked hard to drive them to their stronghold.
All ordinary vehicles, noticing an unusual sign, were driven into one lane. Thanks to this, the range of activities of Cheol-woo has expanded that much.
Boo Woong! thud! Gee geek! Woodang Tang!
Another vehicle approached in front of Cheolwoo’s car. Now, his desire to control the speed of his car was clearly visible.
When the car stops, they’ll fire a blast of bullets in unison. No matter how hard he was, he could not survive in that situation.
He had no intention of making the paintings they wanted. So he gruntedly picked up one of the rear wheels of the car that was slowly slowing down at the front corner.
Again, the lost car staggered and crawled into the building’s empty parking lot. And then there was a loud noise.
Gee geek! Boo!
Two cars quickly tried to fill the empty spot, but Cheol-woo turned the car to the right. The car left Northern Boulevard and entered the road that crossed the subway depot.
Die The two cars that were about to run just disappeared from view. The four cars behind them hurried around the corner and could barely catch up.
“Certainly you know the geography here better than I do.”
“Not enough to go around without a navigator.”
“Now what?”
“Shouldn’t we be able to see the end of what we started?”
“Damn, are you going to turn New York into Gotham City? What, are you thinking of becoming Batman?”
“I have no interest in cosplayers like that, and I want to be richer than Bruce Wayne.”
“Bruce Wayne is worth $80 billion.”
“Five! Are you sure it’s authentic?”
“Comic books are a must read for New York kids. Huh!”
80 billion dollars. In Korean terms, it was about 91 trillion won. Since Chul-woo currently has a fortune of over $600 million, it was not yet at the level of a bid to Wayne.
‘Warrior, how much is the richest man in Korea?’
[$19.1 billion, about 22 trillion Korean Won.]
‘What is the wealth of the Gangho group’s inspiration?’
[Officially, it’s about $4.4 billion.]
‘That yangban is not a big deal.’
As the liver grew bigger, it felt like it wasn’t a big deal anymore. If I earn diligently, I thought I would be able to easily get past the level of inspiration sooner or later.
“Then who is the richest man, Paul?”
“T-Calna! You are the king of Wakanda.”
“What about property?”
“91 trillion dollars.”
It was about 10 Korean Won. Paul still knew he was just talking about a set of cartoon characters.
“Damn, you’re Wakanda Forever!”
“Are you really planning on defeating him?”
“Your goals shouldn’t be big!”
“Why, to protect the Earth…?”
“Why are you keeping that?”
While the two were chatting, the guys who had fallen behind diligently caught up. This is because Cheol-woo deliberately waited for them.
“Ugh! Where are you?”
Then Brian, who had been sleeping in the back seat, woke up. While he was bewildered, a car came close to the truck and slammed into its body fiercely.
