Episode 233. Arrival in São Paulo

Due to the image of being a country of passion and samba, it’s easy to think Brazil is hot all year round, but that’s actually not the case.

 

As Yeon-woo got off the airplane, he put on a shirt made of slightly thick material and buttoned it up.

 

Brazil, located in the Southern Hemisphere, has seasons completely opposite to Korea.

 

That said, when it’s summer in Korea, Brazil isn’t as cold as the dead of winter, but the nights were cool enough to require wearing a light coat.

 

“You must be tired.”

“Mm, I’m still okay.”

 

Yeon-woo smiled as he answered Kim Min-su’s question.

 

Kim Min-su, who was asking, actually looked much more tired, with dark circles extending down his face.

 

“Sister, are you okay?”

“Honestly, I’m dizzy. I want to go and get some sleep quickly.”

 

Lee Ye-eun shook her head at Yeon-woo’s question.

Since SL Electronics was taking full responsibility for security issues and schedules, they had come with a minimal crew.

 

Manager Kim Min-su, stylist Lee Ye-eun, and Yeon-woo—a total of three people—followed the security personnel’s guidance as they got off the plane and entered São Paulo’s Guarulhos Airport.

 

The singers participating in the concert had departed the day before for rehearsals, and today’s flight that Yeon-woo took was a chartered plane carrying domestic celebrities invited to the concert like him.

 

There are no direct flights from Korea to São Paulo.

Most airlines go through at least one stopover in places like Dubai, Rome, or Doha.

 

When scheduling became difficult for attendees due to the flights, SL Electronics chartered a private plane.

 

And on the way here, listening to the conversation of models sitting in the back seats, it seemed one of the invited celebrities had accidentally mentioned today’s Brazil visit during an SNS live stream.

 

‘No wonder there were so many people at the airport…’

 

He had expected the airport to be relatively quiet since it was supposed to be a private schedule, but he had been puzzled seeing the crowds of reporters and fans gathered like storm clouds.

 

“Yawn. I keep yawning.”

 

Yeon-woo chuckled seeing Lee Ye-eun constantly yawning as she walked following the security personnel.

 

It was understandable that she was tired.

 

Even though they took a chartered plane on a direct flight, Brazil was so far away that they couldn’t fly there in one go.

 

So while it was called a direct flight, it was actually a route that landed in Los Angeles for maintenance along the way.

During the brief landing, the plane was refueled and it seemed the pilots and crew were also changed.

 

After the long flight, they finally arrived at São Paulo’s Guarulhos Airport, and Yeon-woo, having completed immigration, stretched and loosened up his body.

 

“Please come this way. We’ll move directly to the accommodation by vehicle.”

“Yes.”

 

As Yeon-woo and his group boarded the bus with other celebrities, he could see the security personnel using their radios.

 

“VIP boarding complete. Moving immediately.”

 

As Yeon-woo boarded the bus, he observed the neck muscles of the security personnel giving guidance and noticed they were quite tense.

 

Their faces pretended to be calm, but Yeon-woo could see signs of nervousness.

 

‘Probably because the person who leaked the schedule exposed the entry and exit routes, making security more burdensome.’

 

Since Brazil’s public safety wasn’t good, they seemed quite on guard.

 

However, Yeon-woo’s expression was relaxed.

In fact, this wasn’t his first or second time in South America.

 

Most Ponzi scheme criminals and drug offenders who cause trouble domestically initially flee to Southeast Asia, but eventually head to South America.

 

It’s the region where domestic investigative authority has the least influence, and even the local authorities in South America struggle to deal with criminal organization cartels.

 

In such cases, nine times out of ten, black agents like Yeon-woo’s previous life are dispatched to the area.

 

Since they had to catch criminals hiding who knows where by any means necessary and repatriate them to their home country, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say Yeon-woo had experienced South America in full course.

 

From his previous life’s experience, when conducting such large events in South American countries, they make sure no problems occur.

Of course, the entity exerting that power isn’t the police or government.

 

‘Hosting such a large concert means there must be some kind of contract with the cartels.’

 

While SL Electronics wouldn’t have directly contracted with criminal cartels, local brokers would have definitely involved cartels in the interests to smoothly proceed with the event.

 

Therefore, there would be no idiots with the guts to mess with Korean entertainers who are moving for the profit of the cartel that controls São Paulo.

 

As a joke, there’s a saying that even police officers report to cartels when they get slapped somewhere, showing how deeply criminal organizations are involved in everything in South America.

 

As Yeon-woo expected, they arrived safely at the hotel without any incidents.

 

“Accompanying managers and company representatives, please gather briefly in the hotel lobby. We’ll deliver individual schedules.”

 

When the SL manager dispatched locally spoke to the group getting off the bus, Kim Min-su looked at Yeon-woo.

 

“They say the security personnel have already completed check-in, so please go up first. I’ll listen to the schedule briefing and come up.”

“Min-su hyung, your dark circles seem to have reached your chin. You’re having a hard time.”

 

At Yeon-woo’s words, Kim Min-su smiled slightly and headed to a corner of the hotel lobby, while Yeon-woo went up to his room.

 

As soon as he entered the room, Yeon-woo took out ultra-small wireless earphones from his bag, put one in his ear, and opened his laptop.

 

As he connected to the server, he was immediately linked with Han Hae-woon in Korea.

 

“I’ve arrived in São Paulo.”

– Oh, you’ve arrived. There’s exactly a twelve-hour time difference here, so it must be dawn there now.

“Yeah. It was already past midnight when I arrived at the airport.”

– Lee Kyu-jin and Park Jung-hyeon aren’t here yet.

 

Yeon-woo nodded and replied to Han Hae-woon’s words.

 

“That makes sense. They’ll be taking commercial flights, so it’ll probably take about six more hours. They’ll arrive tomorrow morning in local time. What about Kim Su-hyeok?”

– He already arrived last night and is doing preliminary work.

“In local time?”

– Yes. That’s correct.

 

If it was last night in São Paulo time, that meant he had arrived about six or seven hours before Yeon-woo.

 

“My schedule is a whole week anyway. There’s no rush, so tell him to rest first, maintain his condition, then join up with the other two agents in the morning.”

– Understood.

“I’ll keep the communication channel open continuously while I’m in the local area, so report immediately if anything happens.”

– Yes.

 

The earphones were so small that unless someone looked directly into his ears from right beside him, they wouldn’t notice he was wearing them. He planned to keep the communication channel open with Han Hae-woon continuously while carrying out his schedule in Brazil.

 

Yeon-woo took out a specially-made brooch and watch from his suitcase and put them on.

 

“Check the reception.”

– Yes. There’s a slight delay, but it’s outputting normally.

 

It seemed the video transmitted from the brooch and watch was coming through properly.

 

“Then I’ll start by checking the external routes first.”

– Understood.

 

Yeon-woo left his hotel room.

As he entered the hallway, a security agent sitting on a chair placed in front of the elevator for guests glanced at Yeon-woo and quickly stood up.

 

‘No CCTV in front of the room, one by the emergency staircase, one at the end of the hallway.’

 

As Yeon-woo checked his surroundings and approached the elevator, the security agent spoke to him.

 

“Is there anything you need?”

 

Yeon-woo smiled and replied.

 

“No. I’m not sleepy yet, maybe because I haven’t adjusted to the time difference. I thought I’d take a light walk and look around the hotel interior. It’s fine as long as I don’t go outside the hotel, right?”

“Ah, of course. Our agents are maintaining perfect security inside the hotel, so don’t worry.”

“You must have a hard time working all night. Thank you.”

 

Yeon-woo gave a light bow and got on the elevator. The elevator heading down to the first floor stopped at the 4th floor.

 

When the doors opened, the male YouTuber he had seen on the airplane got on the elevator.

 

“Oh?! Hello. I saw you on the flight, but I didn’t want to bother you so I didn’t say anything. I’m YouTuber Lee Jong-yeon!”

“Ah, yes. You’re the YouTuber who films travel content, right?”

“Oh! You know me? Amazing.”

 

While responding to the man named Lee Jong-yeon, Yeon-woo glanced sideways to check outside the open elevator doors.

 

‘Same setup – one person directly in front of the elevator, doesn’t seem to be anyone else in the hallway. Looks like they’ve stationed one on each floor where invited guests are staying.’

 

Perhaps because they were confident in the first-floor security, it seemed there was only one agent deployed per floor.

 

“But thanks to the security agents SL provided, it feels quite reassuring, right? This is my first time receiving bodyguard work like this. When we came from the airport, I felt like I was the president or something.”

“Yes. That’s true. After all, this isn’t a country with security as good as Korea.”

 

As he continued the conversation, appropriately responding to the YouTuber’s questions who seemed eager to talk more, the elevator arrived at the first floor.

 

Similarly, there was a security agent standing on the first floor as well.

 

Since the company had invited various celebrities from all walks of life to this corporate event, they were providing ironclad protection to prevent any possible unpleasant incidents. However, from Yeon-woo’s perspective, who also had to carry out agent activities, the stronger the security, the more troublesome it was.

 

‘Well, there will be more in the lobby, but still, if it’s about one person per floor on the other floors, the work will be easier.’

 

Security agents and CCTV were troublesome for Yeon-woo’s activities, but at the same time, they were also valuable assets that could prove his alibi if anything happened.

 

Since he couldn’t stare intently at the CCTV cameras positioned throughout the lobby, Yeon-woo turned his wristwatch this way and that, adjusting the angle so it faced the ceiling.

 

Han Hae-woon was probably calculating the blind spots within the lobby by identifying the positions and filming angles of the CCTV cameras shown on the screen.

 

After walking around for a while pretending to take a stroll, Han Hae-woon’s voice came through his earphones.

 

– I’ve checked everything. Good work.

 

What hard work was there? Since he actually couldn’t sleep anyway, he had simply walked around the hotel interior taking a stroll.

 

***

 

“Ugh, I’m dead tired.”

 

Arriving at Guarulhos Airport and passing through the immigration hall, Lee Kyu-jin yawned languidly and stretched.

And Park Jung-hyeon rubbed his stomach.

 

“I’m hungry. Let’s go to the city center.”

“You ate eight in-flight meals on the way here and you’re hungry? You didn’t even go to the restroom once.”

 

Hearing Lee Kyu-jin’s words, Park Jung-hyeon scratched his stomach this time.

 

“Hmm, is that so? I should empty it before eating. I’ll go to the restroom for a bit.”

 

Watching Park Jung-hyeon shuffle away, Lee Kyu-jin scratched the back of his head.

 

“Is that guy’s brain made of muscle too?”

“No, it seems like stomach acid flows instead of blood.”

 

Lee Kyu-jin was startled and turned around at the voice that suddenly came from behind, and there stood Kim Su-hyeok.

 

“Team, Team Leader? I thought you went on vacation…”

 

Lee Kyu-jin’s eyes widened at the sudden encounter, as he hadn’t known Kim Su-hyeok would be joining due to the many security-related confidential matters before the mission began.

 

“I’m joining this mission too. You don’t seem very pleased to see me?”

“What are you talking about? My head was throbbing at the thought of carrying out the operation with just Park Jung-hyeon and myself.”

 

While Lee Kyu-jin was chattering away about what had happened during Kim Su-hyeok’s absence, Park Jung-hyeon, who had just finished handling things smoothly on the other side, walked over.

 

“Team Leader, good to see you.”

“Yeah. You’ve worked hard getting here. Let’s move to the vehicle first and discuss the details there.”

 

At Kim Su-hyeok’s words, the two agents nodded and moved locations.

 

Once the agents boarded the operations vehicle, Kim Su-hyeok took out micro earphones from his bag and distributed them to Lee Kyu-jin and Park Jung-hyeon.

 

“Lee Kyu-jin is communication line 4, Park Jung-hyeon is 5. Set them up to communicate with headquarters.”

“Yes!”

 

After putting the earphones in their ears and securing them properly, they picked up their smartphones and finished setting up communication with Han Hae-woon in Korea.

 

“Connected. Please confirm.”

– Lambda (λ), Delta (δ), Tau (τ) connection confirmed.

 

Then Lee Kyu-jin tilted his head.

 

“Come to think of it, with Alpha Beta (αβ) at headquarters and the three of us, that’s four people total, so why are there communication lines up to number 5?”

 

Then communication came through from headquarters again.

 

– Communication line 1 is Omega (Ω). They’re currently in the local area as support. We can’t reveal their identity for security reasons, but we plan to carry out the operation in coordination with them.
