Chapter 463 – Disquieting Signs
Coming out of the hotel alone, I wandered aimlessly around there, feeling the cool breeze.
My parents haven’t escorted me yet, and I’ve been talking at work, so there shouldn’t be any problems.
I was walking around thinking it was my last outing because I had to keep an eye on him while he was being closely escorted.
Around the time I was walking around alone and eating street food, calmly erasing my anxiety.
[There is a follower near you.]
‘Yeah, I know that too.’
As soon as I left the hotel, my transcendent senses noticed that someone was following me.
I don’t know exactly who it was because there were a lot of people, but it was certain that they had been following me from the hotel.
‘He’s so good at tailing that the escorts don’t even notice.’
At first, I thought it was a new escort that my parents put on, but after a bit of concentration, I realized that it was not.
Unlike them, who always talk to each other over the radio, the person currently following them didn’t say a word.
In addition, the other escorts kept their positions according to the pre-arranged route, but they moved quite freely alone.
Noticing that I was quite talented, I wondered why I was being followed in America, where I first arrived after becoming an adult.
‘I didn’t do anything wrong…’
After arriving here, I spent time with my parents and went out alone for a while to just look around.
I’ve never had trouble with anyone, and in the first place, I couldn’t speak English very well, so I was only able to communicate a little.
To find out why he was following me, I pretended not to know anything and focused my senses, and I suddenly realized why the other person was doing this with a thrilling feeling in my spine.
It was because it hadn’t been long since I had focused my senses, and I felt the growing anxiety I had felt from yesterday.
‘There is something.’
When I think about the escort that my parents went to, I get a little bit of anxiety on my back.
If I, who have transcended human beings, felt insecure enough to cause abnormalities in my body, it would be quite a big deal.
I could instinctively know that the anxiety was connected to the person I was following.
‘I thought it was just a simple escort, but it seems it wasn’t.’
At first, I thought it was a simple escort job that my parents always talked about, but it wasn’t like that as I was also following me.
Someone deliberately blackmailed and dragged in the granddaughter of Keitel Corporation for the purpose of my parents. Otherwise, there would be no reason to follow me, who has nothing to do with the mercenary business.
The person to be most suspicious of is Chairman Ron, who directly entrusted the request, but when the system investigates, he is just an ordinary grandfather who likes his granddaughter.
If the system with state-of-the-art technology did not come out with suspicious circumstances, he would have been caught up in the opponent’s plan this time.
‘Can the system investigate the information of the guy who is currently following you?’
[It will take some time due to the large number of people, but it is possible.]
‘Then I’ll ask you.’
Realizing that this incident had something to do with the person who is currently following me, I asked the system to investigate.
It was because no matter how ‘half-body’ he had, he hadn’t yet adapted to it, so he was confused in a place with so many people, so he couldn’t make out details with his senses.
‘I thought I wouldn’t be able to use my abilities this way, but that’s not the case either.’
I thought I would spend my whole life seducing women with the ability I received, but it felt a bit different when I used it this way.
Around the time I continued to walk around the streets pretending not to know what I was following, the system that had completed the investigation spoke to me.
[The investigation is over. The person who is currently following you is a member of the Skull Mercenary Corps, a terrorist group that is not well known.]
‘Skull mercenaries? What are they doing?’
[According to my research, it is a group that gathered only for revenge while doing mercenary work.]
‘They’re mercenaries gathered for revenge?’
[Yes, there are not many traces because it is thoroughly active, but it is judged to be certain.]
When I heard that a group of mercenaries gathered for revenge were targeting my parents, I had no choice but to stop and just stand there blankly.
‘Are you targeting my parents? Why?’
It is unavoidable to develop resentment while working as a mercenary.
Not to mention, my parents had a history of participating in war as well as escort work, so it was quite possible.
However, even if a grudge arose, few mercenaries would take revenge in this way.
What madmen would go out for revenge, intent on terrorizing a nation’s capital?
That’s also in the United States, which is quite sensitive to terrorism around the world.
‘Is it that much of a grudge?’
I couldn’t help but be dumbfounded by the appearance of a crazy group that would take revenge unconditionally even if they disregarded their lives.
[Shall we investigate further?]
‘I’ll ask you first.’
Parents have already received an escort job, so they are conveying the current plan to the same mercenaries.
I know I don’t have much time, but I wanted to know the reason, so I asked to investigate.
‘I’ll have to be really careful with this.’
When it became clear that he was doing this not just to escort, but to get revenge out of a grudge, he became even more nervous.
The opponent is a group crazy enough to think of terrorism in the capital of the United States.
Most humans always put their lives first and act accordingly.
Since such a person made a plan to take revenge while ignoring his own life, something beyond imagination would probably happen.
I just wanted to keep an eye on my parents, but if the goal was not to be escorted, but to this side, it seemed that I would inevitably have to move myself.
‘It won’t be easy.’
—————————–
By the time Lee Jin-seok decided that this escort day was not just a simple request.
“Once, the route we laid out is like this.”
Arriving at the company, Park Ha-eun and Lee Jong-wook, who had gathered with the mercenaries who received this request, were briefing on the revised plan all night.
“Does anyone have any other questions?”
After the briefing, Park Ha-eun looked around and talked to the mercenaries in order to make those who had complaints understand them.
In this industry, no one dared to dispute the plan of Lee Jong-wook, who is famous for planning well.
“Then, let’s move like this. First of all, the contract period is one week, so let’s do well in the meantime.”
After all the explanations, he is about to go to the place where Chairman Ron’s granddaughter is located to escort him.
“I have a question for you.”
“Haa…What is it?”
He had already asked all of them, but he didn’t answer. When the mercenary asked a question just when he was about to move, Park Ha-eun sighed and asked him to say it.
“Is it only moving with this amount of people?”
“Anyway, there will be personal escort powers there, so this is the end.”
“Umm… I got it.”
A total of 6 people gathered for this escort, including Lee Jin-seok’s parents.
It was true that the number of people was insufficient to protect the granddaughter of a world-class military company, but it was inevitable.
It was because the personality of the escort target this time was dirty, so many people said they didn’t like it.
‘The escort isn’t even a kid’s game.’
It’s not just a regular escort, it’s an escort created because a threatening letter was found in the room where he lives.
It is natural to arrange more people to promote safety, but I heard that he had quite a lot of scuffle with Chairman Ron even though he was so demanding that he gathered this number.
‘I’m bothered by one immature child.’
Park Ha-eun sighed inwardly because she was born as the granddaughter of a rich family and was oblivious to the world and stubborn.
If there are more people, you can rotate and take a break, but because there are so few, you have to move almost without rest.
In the past, the intensity of this kind of work would not have been difficult, but now it was difficult because of my age.
“Honey, Jin-seok will be fine, right?”
“It’ll be fine, I’ve got the best in that field around me.”
When Park Ha-eun said that she was worried at the thought of her only son being alone, Lee Jong-wook told him not to worry with his blunt face.
In fact, the mercenaries around Lee Jin-seok are the ones who have the best skills in tailing and tracking, as well as assassinating agents.
He had deliberately prepared for those who were in debt while serving as a mercenary because of his only son.
“We just need to do our job well.”
“That’s it, I’ll finish it perfectly and go to Jinseok and show off.”
Park Ha-eun laughed at the words of Lee Jong-wook, who always saved her life with unwavering cool judgment.
With that plan in mind, the mercenaries moved to meet the immature young lady who was the target of the escort this time.
The interior of the vehicle going to meet the escort target.
“I heard that the character of this escort target is considerable, but is there a countermeasure against it?”
One of the escort mercenaries, Los Angel, who was sitting in the back seat and chewing gum, spoke to Lee Jong-wook, who was sitting in the passenger seat.
A man with a fairly frivolous tone who shaves his head and chews gum while polishing his gun.
However, he was quite serious when he was working, so he was a very popular mercenary because of the difference in the gap.
“I didn’t think much of it.”
“No, what do you mean?! Didn’t he come up with a plan after considering the personality of the escort target?!”
“It has a rebellious temperament, so if you try to restrict it, it will go wild, so I didn’t include it in the plan.”
“Then what are we going to do?”
“The two women will have no choice but to stick together and escort them.”
He tried to come up with a plan for the escort target, Swan Keitel, but Lee Jong-wook had no choice but to give up.
It was because she had a history of running away that the bodyguards who escorted her in the past had a lot of restrictions.
It is useless to plan for an escort target who does not know when and where to jump.
He thought it best to just keep silent and escort them closely.
“They say Swann’s face is so pretty, but I want to see him soon…”
Upon hearing about the escort target, Chris Wallet, one of the mercenaries with short sports hair and importing his own firearms, opened his mouth in anticipation of Swann’s beauty.
Chris likes women so much that he uses all the money he earns while working as a mercenary to stay with women.
Although he was the youngest and had a fairly short career as a mercenary, he was a man with excellent fighting skills.
Of course, President Ron tried to refuse in that he revealed a lot of women, but Chris contacted him first because he wanted to work for a small amount of money, so he couldn’t help it.
No matter how much he cherished his granddaughter, as long as the blood of a merchant ran, it would be advantageous if he could roll a rank A mercenary with proven skills at a low price.
“…”
A female mercenary is quietly staring at Park Ha-eun, who is driving and sitting next to him.
Rachel Christopher never took her eyes off Park Ha-eun from the beginning of the company meeting.
‘Finally met…’
She longed for Park Ha-eun, who was called a legend because of her female body, which was difficult to work as a mercenary.
A reversal mercenary who is very quick-tempered and creates the optimal situation even when something unexpected happens.
Rachel, who has that level of skill, said nothing and continued to look at Park Ha-eun, whom she longed for.
“For now, it seems that there are no suspicious people around.”
Around the time we were talking about each other, a man sitting in the trunk of the SUV he was currently riding and working on a laptop by himself spoke up.
The name of the long-haired man with dark brown hair that extends to his wing bones is Oliver Price.
His nickname was money-crazy mercenary, who specializes in machinery and quickly obtains information.
It costs a lot to recruit him, but surveillance is the main factor for escort, and he was an important person who could significantly reduce fatigue by replacing it with a machine.
It was because the number of people in Howwich was small, so it was easy to solve the situation that could cause fatigue.
Leading the mercenaries with strong personalities who only talked about themselves, the vehicle quickly arrived at its destination.
—————————————–
Guided by a butler to a mansion that boasts of being a world-class company, they were finally able to meet the escort target.
“Wow…”
A beauty with long, wavy, almost waist-length hair that is well-maintained and shiny.
Her beauty was so beautiful that Chris, who was not amused by most beauties because he was so revealing about women, naturally widened his eyes and admired her.
The deep eyes that make viewers fall in love, the moderately sized nose that goes well with the small face, and the immaculate skin without any blemishes are creating great synergy.
In addition, the proportions of the body are also perfect, and all the places to go in and out are included, so everyone has the body they want.
By the time everyone in the place was admiring her beauty for the first time.
“Why are you here so late!!”
Sitting on the sofa and looking at her cell phone, as soon as she saw the mercenaries who had come to protect them, she screamed why they had come so late.
“Arrived on time.”
“It’s about meeting me, but you shouldn’t have come at least 30 minutes earlier!!”
When Lee Jong-wook said that she was on time, she got angry, saying that she should have come at least 30 minutes earlier.
“Can it be because the people who will escort me are like this?!”
Her mercenaries felt their hearts disappear from admiration for her beautiful appearance.
They said they arrived on time, but they arrived 15 minutes early.
Still, when I arrived 15 minutes earlier than that time and was told that I had to wait first, I could understand why she said her personality was amazing.
