I Became a Scoundrel From a Wealthy Family 254

## Chapter 254 – 26. Incheon (3)

+++

“New mission has been issued.”

Bright and early, Dorothy gathered the Pacific Knight 1st Platoon for a briefing.

Originally, their mission for the day was to escort a super yacht while displaying their force, riding in a dedicated aircraft.

However, the newly issued mission was to assassinate specific targets.
A simple task for a Knight.

The only problem was that these targets were the heads of the Incheon districts.
Unlike other cities, Incheon was practically an autonomous state, and with its population and economy, it was practically a nation in itself. A mere district head held power exceeding that of a metropolitan city mayor in the rest of South Korea.

In an emergency, they could mobilize military forces, the police, and prosecutors, and even declare a partial martial law within their jurisdiction. They were important figures, so naturally, security was tight, and approaching them was difficult.

Gomuyeol being able to punch the Namdong District head in the face was only possible because he was Gomuyeol.

But there was no need to worry.

What was a Knight?
A weapon capable of blending into any place at any time, possessing abilities like invisibility, camouflage, and soundproofing without any implants.

Assassinating district heads?
That was nothing to a Knight.

“Dedicated armaments, full active.”

Platoon Leader Dorothy was the first to deploy her dedicated armament.
A suit that looked like a mecha shrunk to a size of two to three meters unfolded, and Dorothy soared into the sky.
Energy wings that seemed to scatter light spread to the left and right, and she floated in mid-air.

Following her, the 14 members of the platoon also deployed their dedicated armaments and took to the sky.
Gathering in the air, they completed their final checks and then scattered in all directions of Incheon, towards their targets.

“Nice to meet you! I should have visited you sooner, Young Master! I’ve been so busy with work that I’m late…!”
“Haha. It’s alright. Now that you’re here, let’s take this opportunity to build a good relationship.”

“Ahem, I’m from the Western District Prosecutors’ Office. With the Young Master personally arranging this gathering, I couldn’t refuse to attend.”
“Welcome. Please, come in.”

From morning, the harbor was bustling.
People arriving by ship from Incheon, people crossing the sky in AVs, people arriving by helicopter, people arriving by speedboat, people arriving by yacht, and so on.

All sorts of people arrived at Muyeol Port, where the super yacht was docked, using various means.

As the host of this grand gathering, I went out to greet the people in advance.
Even if their status didn’t quite match mine, they were still people I had invited, so I had to at least show my face.

I’m a courteous young man, after all.

“…It’s been a while, Young Master.”
“Oh, it’s been a while, Chief Secretary Kang Hyeyeong.”
“How have you been?”
“I’ve been a little down from not seeing our Chief Secretary for so long.”
“…It hasn’t been that long.”

I gave an especially warm welcome to the people my family had sent.
If it was a woman I had slept with, like Kang Hyeyeong, even better.
I greeted her with a smile like a business owner welcoming a guest.

“….”

The secretaries seemed unable to adjust to my behavior.
Soo-ah and the others kept stealing glances at me.

Well, it was understandable.
The anger that had risen from my core earlier hadn’t subsided yet, so I was trying to manage my expression. As a result, I was smiling and being more friendly than usual. It was only natural that they weren’t used to it.

“Nice to meet you, Young Master. I’m Kim Seoye, the team leader of the exploration team sent by Miss Gominji.”
“…?”

Anyway, as I was greeting people,
there were occasionally strange individuals.

People like Gominji, whose tone was very polite but whose vulgar and childish voice could not be hidden, and who tried to hide their true selves with a ridiculous disguise.

She had styled her hair into a neat bun, wore rimless glasses, and added some tattoos to disguise herself, but of course, I recognized her immediately.
What kind of secretary gets tattoos in the first place, you idiot….

“…What are you doing?”
“What do you mean?”
“I mean, you said you’d send a team leader, but you came yourself. And what’s with this shoddy disguise?”
“…”

Kim Seoye, or rather, Gominji, avoided my eyes.
Did she really think I wouldn’t recognize her if she wore glasses and put a heart-shaped tattoo under her eye?

“How did you know?”
“Seriously. Aren’t you busy, Sis? Why are you always slacking off? You’re a director.”
“What, you little brat? I come all the way here, and you’re still complaining. I even put on a disguise so I wouldn’t stand out.”

A disguise only works if it looks like a disguise.
I was so dumbfounded that I smacked her butt.

“Ow!”

Everyone’s attention suddenly focused on us.

“Just go inside for now. I’m busy.”
“Ugh.”

Gominji flipped me off and strode inside.
The point was that she didn’t even take off her glasses and kept pushing them up.
It seemed like she intended to maintain that ridiculous disguise.

The secretaries who had followed her bowed to me with embarrassed faces and followed Gominji, but one of them calmly bowed 90 degrees.

“I’m Kim Seoye, the exploration team leader. It’s an honor to meet you.”
“Oh…okay. You’re working hard. Hurry up and go inside. That one’s going to cause trouble again.”
“Yes, Young Master.”

Except for the tomboyish Gominji, it was generally uneventful.

“Y…Young…Master…♥.”
“Welcome, Chief. I’ve been waiting for you. Ah, is that your daughter?”
“Yes, this is Yuna. Say hello, Yuna. This is the Young Master.”
“…I’m Do Yuna. Young Master.”
“Oh…. Okay. It’s cold, so hurry up and go inside. See you later.”

Do Yunjeong, who brought a daughter with a doll-like face, or,

“D-D-D-D-D, D-D-Young…Master…!”
“…Don’t stutter, and make yourself comfortable. It’s been a while, Yeseul.”
“Yes, Young Master.”

Min Jia, whose stuttering had returned, and Min Yeseul, who was calm in contrast.

By the way, Min Jia’s outfit is amazing.
It’s getting me all worked up from the morning.

“Oh…? You’ve arrived, Special Participant Gwang Jinseok.”
“You…invited me, after all.”

Someone I didn’t really expect to come actually came.
Special Participant Gwang Seokjin. Judging by his status alone, he wasn’t someone who would be invited to this event, but he was someone I had a certain acquaintance with, so I had given him an invitation directly.

And well, he wasn’t exactly lacking. At least, he was someone who could act as a connection to the police headquarters, limited to the Namdong Industrial Complex.

“Chief Do Yunjeong happens to be here already. Why don’t you two talk for a while? If you tell a staff member, they’ll take you there.”
“…Yes. Thank you.”

Gwang Seokjin looked up at the super yacht with an overwhelmed expression.
As a colossal luxury yacht with a total length of 299 meters and a displacement of 99,000 tons, it was perhaps natural for him to make such a face.

“Don’t forget to always carry your phone with you, or you might get lost. If anything happens, be sure to ask a staff member.”
“I understand….”
“Hey!”
“Did you call, CEO?”

When a staff member ran over, I smacked Gwang Seokjin on the back.
He looked at me in surprise, but soon lowered his eyes.

“This is Special Participant Gwang Jinseok. He’s someone I know, so take good care of him.”
“Yes, I understand. Let’s go, Special Participant Gwang Jinseok.”

Gwang Seokjin opened his mouth as if to say something, but soon gave up and followed the staff member.
He no longer corrected the way his name was being said.

Meeting and greeting people in this way, time passed quickly.
I had come out quite early in the morning, and the sun was already rising. Even though it was winter.

And finally, I received a report from Baekseol.
Dorothy and the entire Pacific Knight platoon had located their targets and could begin the operation as soon as the order was given.

I analyzed the burning emotions with my brilliant brain and reason.
This fierce anger, which had made me show an excessive kindness that even the secretaries found unfamiliar, argued for the justification of the operation.

“What shall we do, Master? Shall we really execute it?”

Baekseol asked with a slightly worried face.
Assassinating all the district heads of Incheon, not just one or two, was a bit of a crazy idea.
The aftermath would be considerable.

But,

“Proceed.”

There was no turning back.

“We have a meeting with local residents’ representatives around 3 PM today. Regarding the Special Act on Regulation of Business Activities… (omitted).”
“Ah, is it that day already? It feels like we made the appointment a long time ago. As I get older, a day feels like an hour.”

Kim Doosang, the district head, who was receiving a briefing busily inside an AV, lamented the quickly passing time and tapped the vibrating armrest.

A transparent display unfolded in front of him, and a video call opened.

“Oh my, who do we have here? The Chief Secretary calling me.”
– It’s been a while, District Head Kim Doosang.

The Chief Secretary served the mayor, and Kim Doosang was a district head.
Although they held different positions, they had been in the same party during their time as council members, so they were quite close.

After a brief conversation, the Chief Secretary got to the point.

– It seems that the District Head needs to attend D’s banquet.
“What, suddenly?”
– The situation is a bit more complicated than we thought. Our side and the Equality Party, as well as the Future Party, are not attending in large numbers, so the appearance is not good. If the group were to show their displeasure, it would be a major setback.
“Hmm.”
– We have to cooperate with D in the long term anyway, so it doesn’t seem good to be too confrontational.

Kim Doosang frowned for a moment and then sighed.

“Chief Secretary, if you draw a sword, you have to at least pretend to swing it. We’ve already drawn our sword. We’ve already taken action, so we can’t just put it back in its sheath as if nothing happened. It would be better to continue with the motion and face them again later.”
– But that’s,

It was the moment the Chief Secretary was about to continue speaking.
Kim Doosang felt a burning sensation on the top of his head for some reason.

“…?”

The burning sensation gradually turned into pain.

“Uh…?”

The AV that Kim Doosang and his aides were riding in was split in half in mid-air and exploded.
