Episode 188. It Was a First in This Life

 

Numerous monitors installed in the room displayed footage transmitted from various cameras.

 

Yeon-woo sat in front of them, checking the real-time progress of the operation.

 

 

 

“Get ready. Target passing Point D.”

 

 

 

At Yeon-woo’s words, Han Hae-woon nodded and radioed the agents.

 

 

 

– Get ready. Target is currently passing Point D.

 

– 6th Floor standby.

 

– Target movement check.

 

 

 

Lee Kyu-jin and Park Jung-hyeon, holding positions in the 6th Floor aisle and stairs of the luxury villa that was Kim Ju-seong’s home, heightened their tension and waited.

 

 

 

Then the car carrying Kim Ju-seong entered the underground parking garage, and simultaneously a radio transmission came in from Kim Su-hyeok who was pursuing ‘Hwang-geum’.

 

 

 

– Target DM. Should I follow?

 

 

 

DM (Dismounted Movement) meant that ‘Hwang-geum’, whom Kim Su-hyeok was pursuing, had gotten out of the car and entered the building on foot.

 

 

 

Since Lee Kyu-jin and Park Jung-hyeon were already waiting inside the building anyway, it was better for Kim Su-hyeok to guard the parking lot entrance in case of unexpected situations.

 

 

 

“No. Maintain current position.”

 

 

 

When Yeon-woo gave the instruction, Han Hae-woon relayed it as is.

 

 

 

***

 

 

 

Meanwhile, at that moment, Kim Ju-seong got out of the car while pressing his throbbing head.

 

 

 

“Thank you for your hard work. You may go home now.”

 

“Yes, CEO.”

 

 

 

At the driver’s words, Kim Ju-seong smiled bitterly.

 

 

 

Click─.

 

 

 

He closed the car door and turned around, muttering quietly to himself.

 

 

 

“I’m not even a CEO anymore.”

 

 

 

Kim Ju-seong trudged along, used his security key to open the door, and got on the elevator.

 

 

 

Ding─.

 

 

 

The elevator Kim Ju-seong had taken from the basement arrived at the 1st Floor and the doors opened.

 

Looking ahead, three sturdy men with faces he had never seen in this villa were standing in front of the elevator doors.

 

 

 

They were hired killers that Hwang-geum had sent ahead.

 

 

 

“······.”

 

 

 

Sensing something strange, Kim Ju-seong pressed the 6th Floor button that was already lit to cancel it before the men got on, and pressed the 3rd Floor instead.

 

 

 

Then the men boarded the elevator.

 

 

 

When Kim Ju-seong stood in front of the elevator doors, the men who had positioned themselves behind him pressed the 4th Floor button and stood quietly.

 

 

 

Kim Ju-seong had lived here for quite a while, so he knew roughly who lived on the same line.

 

 

 

‘People like that don’t live on the 4th Floor, and there’s no reason for rough-looking young men to visit there either.’

 

 

 

Ding─.

 

 

 

When they arrived at the 3rd Floor and the elevator doors opened, Kim Ju-seong immediately ran out of the elevator.

 

 

 

“Catch him!”

 

 

 

They had originally planned to attack from behind when Kim Ju-seong entered his home, but when Kim Ju-seong suddenly ran out, the men in the elevator shouted and chased after him.

 

 

 

Hearing that sound, Kim Ju-seong immediately opened the emergency staircase door and hurriedly went down.

 

 

 

Meanwhile, Lee Kyu-jin, who was waiting on the 6th Floor, sensed that something had gone wrong when loud noises came up through the emergency staircase and ran to the elevator.

 

 

 

– The elevator stopped at the 3rd Floor!

 

– Go down!

 

 

 

Hearing Han Hae-woon’s words, Lee Kyu-jin and Park Jung-hyeon ran down the stairs at high speed as if flying.

 

 

 

– Kim Su-hyeok, enter.

 

– Yes. Entering.

 

 

 

Kim Su-hyeok, who had been waiting outside, got out of his car and entered through the side gate of the villa complex.

 

 

 

Meanwhile, Kim Ju-seong came down to the building’s 1st Floor and ran toward the villa’s rear gate where the security post was located, with the hired killers employed by Hwang-geum pursuing him.

 

 

 

Kim Su-hyeok, who spotted this, radioed in.

 

 

 

– Target spotted. Running toward the rear gate of the villa complex. Will pursue.

 

 

 

Then Yeon-woo heard Han Hae-woon’s personal communication in his ear.

 

 

 

– Team Leader. Target didn’t come to the 6th Floor and deviated midway. In pursuit.

 

 

 

Yeon-woo nodded.

 

 

 

“I confirmed it on screen too. It’s fine. Just pursue leisurely. Their primary objective isn’t to harm Kim Ju-seong.”

 

 

 

This would be Plan B.

 

 

 

Plan B, set up in case they couldn’t handle things inside the building or if an unexpected situation arose.

 

Kim Ju-seong would have a hard time, but the results could actually turn out better.

 

 

 

‘CEO. It might be a bit scary, but please endure it.’

 

 

 

Those guys would never intend to actually harm Kim Ju-seong.

 

There would be no benefit in harming him.

 

 

 

They would just try to scare him moderately to induce him to sell the stocks he currently held.

 

But considering Kim Ju-seong’s usual personality, he would definitely resist roughly without yielding to threats.

 

 

 

As a result, to protect Kim Ju-seong and deal a blow to Baeksol, some degree of directing was necessary for everyone.

 

Also to move on to the next stage of the blueprint he had drawn.

 

 

 

***

 

 

 

Kim Ju-seong quickly ran to the rear gate, but there was no one at the security post.

 

 

 

And he could see men chasing from behind.

 

With trembling hands, he searched for the smartphone in his pocket while running.

 

 

 

‘Damn! Did it fall while running down the stairs!’

 

 

 

Kim Ju-seong tried to report to the police, but with his smartphone gone, he had no choice but to enter the alley of the residential area behind the villa.

 

 

 

A chase was unfolding through the residential area where the sunset was dimly falling.

 

 

 

Kim Ju-seong was running, the hired thugs were chasing behind him, and finally the agents were pursuing them.

 

 

 

“Hae-woon, launch the drone.”

 

– Understood.

 

 

 

Han Hae-woon launched a drone equipped with electronic optical equipment and immediately switched it to infrared mode.

 

 

 

While checking the cameras of the agents running through the alleys, Yeon-woo looked at the drone’s screen displayed on the monitor.

 

Then he turned on the voice modulation program and gave instructions.

 

 

 

“I’ll command directly, so open the communication channel.”

 

– Understood.

 

 

 

Crackle─.

 

 

 

– From now on, follow the instructions of Agent Omega.

 

 

 

When Han Hae-woon’s voice was heard, everyone tilted their heads wondering about Omega’s identity, but since hierarchical obedience was basic, they nodded.

 

 

 

– Understood.

 

 

 

And Yeon-woo’s modulated voice began commanding the agents over the radio waves.

 

 

 

“Lee Kyu-jin and Park Jung-hyeon turn right at the next corner, Kim Su-hyeok proceed straight.”

 

“The target is heading toward the open field in front of the hill behind the two-story house beyond the stone wall. Turn right there now.”

 

 

 

***

 

 

 

Kim Ju-seong’s breath had risen to his chin.

 

He felt like he couldn’t run anymore.

 

 

 

Although it was the alley right behind the house where he had lived for several years, Kim Ju-seong, who only commuted by car with a driver, couldn’t possibly know the neighborhood’s geography.

 

 

 

“Huff, huff.”

 

 

 

The hired thugs followed up behind him as he gasped for rough breaths.

 

 

 

“Why does this old man run so well? If you had just accepted the demands, you wouldn’t have had to meet us. Right?”

 

 

 

Kim Ju-seong, who had been panting, glared at the thugs.

 

 

 

“···Demands?”

 

“You already heard it in the company building parking lot. Hand over your shares.”

 

“So those bastards really sent you? Do you think you’ll be safe after doing this in South Korea?”

 

 

 

The hired thugs who heard Kim Ju-seong’s words snorted.

 

 

 

“Those bastards? You seem to know something half-assedly, but you should know properly. Our employer is someone far above the law.”

 

 

 

Then Kim Ju-seong took a fighting stance as if he had no intention of yielding to the threats.

 

Seeing that, the hired thugs approached with snorts as if they found it absurd.

 

 

 

“This old fool will only come to his senses after getting beaten up.”

 

 

 

Then a man with a large build and a man with a nimble physique appeared at the entrance to the open field.

 

 

 

“Hey, are you guys extorting that old man right now? You punks.”

 

 

 

It was Lee Kyu-jin and Park Jung-hyeon who had caught up.

 

 

 

The hired thugs who saw them were initially wary thinking they were police, but soon smirked.

 

 

 

“Kids. Don’t mind other people’s business and get lost quickly.”

 

“Right. Otherwise you’ll really get hurt? Looking at your faces, seems like you’re living somewhere. Which gang are you guys from?”

 

 

 

Then Kim Ju-seong saw the agents and shouted.

 

 

 

“Please report to the police right now!”

 

“Oh my. Mr. Kim Ju-seong. If you come out like this, we’ll have no choice but to get rough too?”

 

 

 

Lee Kyu-jin, who was listening to the conversation between Kim Ju-seong and the hired thug, shrugged his shoulders and smirked.

 

 

 

“We don’t really like the police. We’ll just solve it ourselves.”

 

 

 

Then the hitman, looking incredulous, pulled out a knife from his jacket.

 

 

 

“Looks like you’re some punks who think you run the neighborhood, but if you act cocky relying on your backing, you’ll really be in big trouble. Which crew are you kids from? Chungjang Faction? Daerim Association?”

 

 

 

As one of the hitmen approached and spoke, Park Jung-hyeon scratched his head and replied.

 

 

 

“Daerim Association? I don’t know about that, let’s just say we’re from the Green Mothers Association.”

 

“What?”

 

 

 

Then Park Jung-hyeon immediately rushed forward, knocked the knife out of the hitman’s hand, and struck his jaw and abdomen in an instant.

 

 

 

It was incredible speed that didn’t match the size of his fists, which were as big as cast iron pot lids.

 

 

 

Thwack─.

 

Kugh─.

 

 

 

The approaching thug lost consciousness and collapsed from the lightning-fast strike.

 

 

 

Then the panicked hitmen became wary and pulled out knives from their jackets as they approached, and Lee Kyu-jin chuckled.

 

 

 

“The Green Mothers Association is that thing, right? The ladies who wave flags in front of schools to stop cars.”

 

“That’s right. This guy just didn’t follow the stop line.”

 

 

 

With those words, Lee Kyu-jin and Park Jung-hyeon rushed forward and instantly subdued the hitmen, beginning to beat them like sandbags.

 

 

 

Lee Kyu-jin, who closed the distance in an instant, kicked away one thug’s knife-holding hand with a kick, then immediately struck his jaw with a spinning back kick.

 

While attention was drawn to those flashy movements, Park Jung-hyeon stuck to the remaining thug with incredible speed that didn’t match his build, grabbed him by the collar, threw him to the ground, then mounted him and began mercilessly pounding down with his pot lid-like fists.

 

 

 

Park Jung-hyeon’s appearance as he indiscriminately pounded down looked not like a person but like a wild bear.

 

One famous for tearing people apart···.

 

 

 

“Aren’t these guys supposed to be pros? Why are they so weak?”

 

“Kughh.”

 

“Hey. These types originally just know how to bare their teeth and act tough with knives. What pros.”

 

“Gughh.”

 

 

 

Then a man appeared from behind.

 

 

 

“Hey, you little rats. Stop right there.”

 

 

 

Click─.

 

 

 

When Lee Kyu-jin and Park Jung-hyeon threw down the hitmen they were beating and looked back, codename ‘Hwang-geum’ was standing there holding a pistol.

 

 

 

“I came to check since I didn’t get word that the job was finished, and what do I find but some little rats interfering?”

 

 

 

Then Lee Kyu-jin chuckled incredulously and pointed to Park Jung-hyeon beside him.

 

 

 

“Oh ho. Have you ever seen such a big rat?”

 

 

 

Hearing those words, Hwang-geum’s eyebrows twitched.

 

 

 

“You’re calm even seeing a gun? Don’t tell me you think this is a self-defense gas gun?”

 

 

 

Then a sharp, cold sensation touched the back of Hwang-geum, who was holding the pistol.

 

 

 

“Drop it.”

 

 

 

When Hwang-geum slowly looked back, he saw a man aiming a submachine gun at him.

 

 

 

It was Kim Su-hyeok.

 

 

 

Then Lee Kyu-jin’s voice came from the opposite side.

 

 

 

“Our gun seems a bit bigger than that tiny pistol, what do you think?”

 

“···So you weren’t just neighborhood punks after all.”

 

 

 

When Hwang-geum dropped his pistol to the ground, Kim Su-hyeok kicked it away with his foot.

 

 

 

“Don’t move.”

 

 

 

Then Hwang-geum raised both hands and opened his mouth.

 

 

 

“Listen. I don’t know where you came from, but there seems to be some misunderstanding. I’m a natio···.”

 

 

 

Then Kim Su-hyeok aimed his gun at Hwang-geum’s head and barked.

 

 

 

“Shut up!”

 

 

 

Meanwhile, Park Jung-hyeon approached Kim Ju-seong.

 

 

 

“Please come down with me. I’ll escort you to a safe place.”

 

 

 

In the rapidly developing situation, CEO Kim Ju-seong had no choice but to follow Park Jung-hyeon.

 

For now, he judged that since they were opposing the people who had chased him, they probably weren’t bad people.

 

 

 

As Park Jung-hyeon and Kim Ju-seong moved away from the open field, Kim Su-hyeok stared intently at Hwang-geum.

 

Then Hwang-geum opened his mouth again.

 

 

 

“Listen. If you do this, you’ll only be in trouble. I don’t know which side you’re from, but I’m···.”

 

 

 

Pop─.

 

 

 

A bullet was fired from the silencer-equipped submachine gun Kim Su-hyeok was holding.

 

The muffled firing sound from the silencer was somewhat comical, but its power was no joke.

 

 

 

“Kgh, kghaaa!”

 

 

 

Hwang-geum, shot in the knee, collapsed and screamed.

 

 

 

Then Lee Kyu-jin opened his mouth with a flustered expression. But what came out of Lee Kyu-jin’s mouth was Chinese.

 

 

 

“What are you doing! This isn’t a place where Caihong’s influence reaches! You’ll be in big trouble if you use guns carelessly!”

 

“It doesn’t matter. You saw this bangzi had a pistol. He’s definitely someone with a shady background.”

 

 

 

Lee Kyu-jin grabbed Kim Su-hyeok’s arm and pulled him.

 

 

 

“Let’s go quickly! Before the Korean Police arrive.”

 

“But we should definitely kill this guy before we go…”

 

“Hurry!”

 

 

 

Kim Su-hyeok and Lee Kyu-jin ran and left the open field.

 

 

 

The hitmen who had been lying down pretending to be dead, startled by the sudden gunshot, looked around cautiously before getting up.

 

 

 

Then they discovered Hwang-geum who had collapsed after being shot in the knee and rushed over.

 

 

 

“Call 119 quickly!”

 

 

 

Hearing the hitman’s voice, Hwang-geum who had been lying face down flipped over to lie on his back and shouted.

 

 

 

“Stop! A regular hospital won’t do!”

 

 

 

And he took out his smartphone from his chest.

 

 

 

‘Those guys definitely said Caihong. So the Chinese Triad got involved?’

 

 

 

It means rainbow in Chinese.

 

If it had been someone else, they wouldn’t have understood, but codename ‘Hwang-geum’, who was originally in charge of covert operations in the Uyghur Region, immediately knew which organization they were referring to.

 

 

 

‘Damn it! Why did the triad guys have to get involved of all things. What could there be worth eating in a Korean entertainment company.’

 

 

 

They absolutely must not create conflict between Baeksol and the triad.

 

If they make enemies with them, there will be disruptions in the supply route where Baeksol receives drugs.

 

 

 

 

 

Meanwhile, Kim Su-hyeok and Lee Kyu-jin who had left the open field reported via radio.

 

 

 

“We threw the bait as planned.”

 

– Well done. You two gather at Point A, and Park Jung-hyeon, connect Kim Ju-seong to the call.

 

 

 

The three agents who heard Han Hae-woon’s words nodded simultaneously, and Park Jung-hyeon took out his smartphone from his chest and handed it to Kim Ju-seong.

 

 

 

“Please take the call.”

 

 

 

When Kim Ju-seong received the smartphone that Park Jung-hyeon handed over, he was connected to Yeon-woo with voice modulation.

 

 

 

And Yeon-woo opened his mouth.

 

It was something he had said countless times in his life, but it was the first time in this lifetime.

 

 

 

Yeon-woo’s voice-modulated voice was transmitted through the phone receiver.

 

 

 

– Mr. Kim Ju-seong. This is the National Intelligence Service. We will protect you from now on.
