Chapter 385 – Confrontation
While I was thinking about how to deal with them, I arrived at the car before I knew it.
“”Are you here!””
When Han Jin-cheol and I arrived, two of my subordinates, who said they would start the car in advance, were waiting in front of the car and bowed their backs at a perfect 90 degree bow.
“It’s evening, don’t make noise.”
“I’m sorry.”
I just had to say hello in moderation, but when I greeted them loudly, I gave them a warning and asked them how long it would take.
“How long does it take to get to the agency?”
“It takes about an hour and a half.”
“For that long?”
“Joe, it’s because it’s a little far away…”
When I contacted them, I was told to come as slowly as possible, so when I asked, they said it would take another 30 minutes.
‘It doesn’t matter how much you prepare, but…’
Whether I prepared for an hour or two, to be honest, it didn’t make any sense to me.
Everyone knew how many people were currently at the Secret Service, as well as how many would return in the future.
‘I even prepared weapons.’
As if they had already heard about my level of skill, the guys at the secret agency kept their weapons by their side one by one.
Some of them had knives, some of them had iron pipes, and some of them prepared for patta.
Still, when he came in, he didn’t hold it, as if he wanted to let me know that he had no intention of fighting.
“Let’s go.”
“Yes! Let’s go!”
I got into the car and was sorting out my thoughts, but it hadn’t started until then, so when I said a word, one of my subordinates sitting in the driver’s seat started driving in awe.
The subordinate sitting in the passenger seat kept an eye on Lee Jin-seok and sent a text message saying that he was leaving.
——————–
Kang Cheol-shik, who was waiting after getting ready in the office, received a call from his subordinate that he had departed and came out to explain what was going on to the members of the organization.
As usual, they seem to be sitting in their seats and doing their work, but currently, their favorite weapons are hidden around them.
He looks a little bewildered, probably because he hasn’t heard a proper explanation yet and just tells him to bring his weapon.
In addition, he took a weapon, but he seemed more incomprehensible, perhaps because he was told to hide it nearby.
‘Still, they follow me well.’
I don’t understand it well, but since it’s an order, I follow it. Kang Chul-sik smiled at the military-like appearance.
If you’re this fast, you have a higher chance of surviving when something happens.
Everyone was curious, but he laughed at the sincere practice without questioning, and now decided to give a proper explanation.
“Everyone did exactly as I said.”
“Yes! Older brother!”
Normally, he would have been angry that he hadn’t called him president, but Kang Cheol-sik, who had taken care of the tools and was out of business now, started explaining.
“I think a lot of people are wondering why I suddenly told them to pack their tools.”
When the subordinates offered to explain the cause of their curiosity, they all waited without opening their mouths.
‘They’re definitely big guys.’
Those who are currently here are not newcomers who have just joined, but those who have accumulated quite a lot of years.
I’m currently working at a detective agency, but I was calm because there were other people who ran the field together.
“To put it simply, I am coming here with an outsider because Han Jin-cheol was defeated while making a request to scare someone.”
When Han Jin-cheol failed the request and said that he lost the fight, all the members of the organization flinched.
Han Jin-cheol is a person who likes to fight, to the extent that people say he is a fighting ghost.
He was a man who liked to fight so seriously that he was nicknamed Doo-gwi, a joke, among his men.
However, as much as he likes to fight, his skills are solid, and he is three fingers in force, so everyone believed him, but such a person was defeated.
Besides, I didn’t go there alone, even with the two new recruits I was taking with me.
‘It’s not unreasonable to be surprised.’
Most of the gang members here had fought with Han Jin-cheol at least once, so it was natural to be surprised.
“An outsider who fought and won against Han Jin-cheol is now coming here, so please don’t act hastily.”
“How did you lose to say that?”
During the explanation, one of the members, who had been silent, spoke out to gauge the level of skill of outsiders, and Kang Chul-sik told it as it was.
I didn’t know what would happen if I didn’t properly judge the opponent’s ability and attacked, so it was good to be honest.
“It is said that we lost overwhelmingly. To the point where you can’t even hit one and lose.”
“That…”
To be honest, it wasn’t that I couldn’t hit one, but it was good to say that there were no hits at all.
“I’m not sure what the opponent’s skills are, but I’m sure he’s a great guy, so don’t move until I give you an order.”
After all Kang Chul-shik’s words were over, the members of the organization began to get nervous when he heard that the strong Han Jin-cheol had been defeated overwhelmingly.
Kang Chul-sik, who had instilled awareness of the other party in them, went back to his office thinking that he was done.
“What do you think?”
“You mean that?”
“Okay.”
Returning to the office, Kang Chul-sik asked his subordinate, who always accompanies him to give him information, for his opinion.
“I don’t have any proper information yet, but I think it’ll probably be fine if I don’t touch it.”
“Why do you think so? They could come in and destroy this place.”
He was overwhelmingly defeated by Han Jin-cheol, whom he might not be able to win when he was a little older here.
Of course, they have a numerical advantage and weapons, but it is natural that such a person will cause enormous damage once they start rampaging.
I wondered if someone with that level of power would come to this place and say that if I didn’t touch it, nothing would happen.
“Once you have something you want, you’re probably coming.”
“I guess so.”
“Then, if I get what I want, won’t I just leave?”
I come here because I want something, and when I achieve what I want, I will simply go.
Hearing that, Kang Chul-shik couldn’t think of anything positive.
If the other party made an unreasonable request and they couldn’t do it, a fight would be unavoidable.
“What if you ask us for an unreasonable favor?”
“Then we just have to fight, can we do anything?”
“Yeah…We were like that…”
Kang Chul-shik, who instinctively thought of avoiding a fight because he was older and had not been on the field for a while, came to his senses.
‘I’ve withdrawn a lot too.’
From the moment he joined the organization, he took it for granted that he would not die in peace.
He must have made at least that kind of a resolution from the time he stepped into the back world, but he regained his composure thinking that he had stepped back.
If a fight comes, fight. Now he might be playing on the field for the last time, but he didn’t want to live like a coward.
“For now, send a message to the boss.”
“What can I send you?”
“Send a brief summary of what has happened so far, and send all information about outsiders intruding in advance.”
“All right.”
Fortunately, the information about the outsider coming here was collected in advance because of the request.
All of the data had disappeared, so there was no photo-like information, but I still remembered a simple impression, so that was enough.
‘Now…Then let’s go.’
Kang Cheol-sik, who had a hard time in his heart, decided to treat his opponent with all his might, even though there was still time left.
———————
Around the time Kang Cheol-shik was preparing for Lee Jin-seok.
[The other side seems to be ready.]
When I heard that the preparations of the people at the security agency to arrive now were complete, I had high hopes.
‘How much can I fight…’
To be honest, I didn’t think I would lose, but it was my first time fighting so many people, so I was really looking forward to it.
It could end peacefully without a fight, but personally I didn’t want to.
There is a combat power meter that is still in active service, but it would be a waste if not used.
In addition, no matter how much I was commissioned, I didn’t like the fact that Lee Se-yeon and Yuanna’s background investigation was carried out.
Anyway, in my current state, even if I fought, I was able to beat overwhelmingly without getting hurt, so I didn’t have any worries.
“How much is left?”
“We will arrive in 5 minutes.”
With the thought that I would be able to meet them in the next five minutes, I pondered how far I would break my limits.
‘Although the number of people has increased since before, since there are weapons…’
If you were using your fists, it would be okay to be at this level, but if you had a weapon, the words would be different.
Especially if it’s a sharp knife that can hurt directly.
So, for the sake of safety, I decided to limit myself to the point where my body could withstand the blade.
“Im here.”
As I was thinking about that, when I heard that I had arrived, I got out of the car and prepared for the upcoming meeting.
Led by Han Jin-cheol and guided by two of his subordinates, I entered the agency and was surprised by the older appearance than I thought.
I heard that the system made quite a bit of money, but I couldn’t believe it was in such a remote and shabby place.
‘Do I send more money to the headquarters than I thought?’
As I was walking along with the trivial thought that most of the money I earned was being sent to the head office, I soon arrived at the agency.
“We will go in first.”
“Okay, I go in first.”
Han Jin-cheol, worried that he might attack the monster as soon as he entered, said he would go in first, but I refused.
There was no danger because they weren’t willing to fight properly inside anyway.
Han Jin-cheol, who was watching Lee Jin-seok grabbing and turning the doorknob, hoped that the gang members inside would stay still.
‘Even if I fight a monster like that, I can’t win…’
When he fought Lee Jin-seok, he felt it for sure. The fact that no matter how hard you hit it, that monster wouldn’t do any damage.
He wasn’t at full strength, but he was fine even after being hit by a fist that he had thrown with his own strength.
Rather, it was hard enough that a little pain came from the fist that struck the monster.
How effective would it be for a person with that level of strength to pick up a weapon?
Han Jin-cheol has already broken his heart at the body of the monster, worried that the sword will not break even if he is hit by it.
-Kiik
The door opened with the sound of an old hinge, and when I went inside, I caught the eyes of about 10 people.
His eyes were filled with curiosity as to whether such a person had really beaten Han Jin-cheol.
The eyes that think of me as an enemy and are hostile to me, ready to take out their weapons and attack at any time.
As I went inside, receiving various looks, a fairly stout man came out from inside the office, as if he had heard me come in.
He doesn’t have a big body like the gangsters here, but his face is tough and his eyes are alive.
At first glance, he looked like a captain, so I checked him using the sixth sense of the ‘Half-Body’ skill.
‘Hmm… He looks a bit stronger than Han Jin-cheol.’
I checked with my sixth sense, which I didn’t use well because I had nothing to use in everyday life, and he was a little stronger than Han Jin-cheol.
I soon turned my attention to her weakened appearance due to the decline in physical ability due to aging.
The rest of them were pretty much inferior to Han Jin-cheol, so I had no choice but to be pretty disappointed.
‘I thought it was a combat power meter, but I don’t think there’s much benefit.’
Still, it was a den of gangsters, so I thought there would be stronger ones than Han Jin-cheol, but there was only one tiger without claws.
“I was waiting.”
“Yeah, everyone was ready with their weapons ready.”
“…”
Kang Chul-shik, who greeted Jin-seok Lee as soon as he entered, hid it somewhere out of sight, but he was nervous to see him knowing that he was preparing a weapon.
‘It seems wrong to pass easily…’
Having your weapons ready means they are ready to fight you.
So I was hiding it on purpose, but when I thought everyone was caught, I couldn’t help but be nervous.
