Chapter 841 – Know Your Level
Around the time Jinseok Lee was moving towards where Mai Nishina was with Yozora.
“Why haven’t I heard from you yet?”
“I think we still see an opportunity.”
“Ha… How long until the next contact?”
“Already, about three minutes have passed. “I think it would be a good idea to strengthen security as unexpected situations may arise.”
“Okay, first of all, tell everyone to be more nervous.”
“Yes.”
After hearing that Yozora had broken into the inn where her partner was staying, she was contacted at regular intervals, but when the contact stopped, Mai Nishina became anxious.
She was a really talented child. So she was cherished even more and is now the most trustworthy child.
Since she couldn’t contact me at the appointed time, she couldn’t help but think about all sorts of things.
If she was caught and tortured to reveal this location, it would be dangerous and security had to be strengthened.
When she was worried that she might have driven her beloved subordinate to death for no reason.
“My, my!! She said she confirmed Yozora’s return.”
“Is that really true?!”
“Yes! But… There is one problem…”
“Why! Are you saying it’s dangerous?!”
“No… That… She said she came with someone she had never seen before.”
“What…? “A completely new person?”
“It’s not entirely the first time since he was with me when I was investigating Yoo Ha-young, but I don’t have any information beyond that.”
“Huh, he’s the man that Yoo Ha-young takes with him…”
After hearing her subordinate’s words, Nishina Mai was troubled for a moment.
Seeing that Yozora came with the man that the Sangvis Queen personally carried, it seems that she definitely delivered her own message.
Also, seeing as she sent a man who could be said to be her confidant without any other personnel, it would be safe to assume that she accepted it.
‘As expected, they don’t know about our situation.’
If so, the gamble paid off. Taking risks in the current situation is very crazy, but looking into the future, if it succeeds, it will be a really big gain.
And Mai Nishina, who succeeded in that gamble, couldn’t help but smile with an even deeper smile.
Doesn’t the fact that they sent Yoo Ha-young’s henchman mean that they are willing to follow their intentions as much as possible?
But.
She didn’t know. She knows that the man who is coming with Yozora can single-handedly wipe out the entire yakuza force.
Well, who could have predicted it? No matter how talented a person is, there are limits.
Was it for no reason that he said there was no business in front of Su? Moreover, all the people she has here are elites that she has put a lot of effort into earning her loyalty.
If you tell them to risk their lives, they really will, so their pride rose even more.
Even a mutt could gain confidence in her front yard.
So Mai Nishina sat down in her seat, not even noticing that her monster had entered her front yard.
Is there a need for her to come forward and meet first when the other person stoops to such an extent that she leaves?
It was thought much better to just sit back and press on, consolidating her position.
Of course, it was all a mistake.
Disaster was slowly approaching, not knowing that it was Lee Jin-seok who was now holding their leash.
———————-
Yozora, who was currently leading Lee Jin-seok into the secret safe house of the agents, was in a state of death.
‘I knew everything…’
When we first went out together, we moved quietly, hiding our gaze as much as possible so as not to be noticed by others.
For an agent whose main job is infiltration, moving quietly is the most basic thing.
So I moved while worrying that the other person might make a fuss, but there was no need for that at all.
‘You can do something like this?’
No matter how talented a person is, moving while completely oblivious to presence is something that requires tremendous training.
When I looked at it that way, I thought that the monster in front of me, which was so powerful and overflowing with presence, was impossible, but that thought quickly disappeared.
-Ssssseu.
Unlike myself, who moved as fast as possible and made a little sound of stepping on the grass, the monster made no sound at all even when it moved.
-…
It’s so clearly moving right in front of you that you wonder if it’s a real ghost, but you can’t hear any sound.
And what’s scarier than that is that when you look at yourself, you can’t feel where your overflowing presence has gone.
I couldn’t even sense their presence, to the point where I wondered if this was what the ninjas used to assassinate high-ranking officials in Japan in the old days.
‘Ah…’
As a result, Yozora felt even more scared and had to momentarily put strength on her shaking legs.
But.
The fear she feels from Lee Jin-seok does not end here.
-Ssssseu!
As he was moving quickly to find a secret safe house, the monster that had been following him gradually increased its speed and began to move ahead.
Yozora, who was trying to stop him, had no choice but to stop right away because he didn’t know the way, and he would be wasting time if he did that.
‘This way.’
Because the direction he was moving while muttering to himself was the same direction as where the secret security house was located.
‘It must be a coincidence… A coincidence, right? It has to be a coincidence…’
At first, I thought it was a coincidence, but the more we moved together, the more I realized I was wrong.
In the end, the monster in front of me arrived at the secret safehouse without a single hesitation.
When Yozora arrived, there was only one thought in her head.
The idea was that they had to let Mai know that the other party had much more detailed information about them than expected.
———————–
As I entered the secret safe house, I thought it was a bit strange to see the people inside.
‘Are you saying they are some kind of assassin?’
There were less than 40 people here, and none of them were normal.
Hiding on a roof somewhere, waiting on the floor, hiding in a pillar, etc.
Instead of walking around like a normal person, he hid to avoid my gaze as much as possible.
Even if you did this, you could know everything if you just sharpened your senses a little, but it was really unnecessary.
‘It’s even worse inside.’
As I went inside with guidance, the depth became even more spectacular.
Of course, I understand that there is something important that needs to be protected, but is it really necessary to protect it like that?
I just sighed when I realized that there were people hiding in the secret room.
“Huh…”
I sighed because I was pathetic, but Moroha, Mai Nishina’s secretary and a talented person, heard that and thought with a smile in her heart.
‘You seem very nervous?’
Since he was a man with a fairly sturdy physique, he was on high alert to prepare for any untoward incident, but seeing him sigh so openly made me think that the other person was also very nervous.
Well, no matter how good a person is, if he enters the enemy camp alone, that is a natural reaction.
Looking at his face, he looked young, so I could say that such a reaction was natural.
‘It might be easier to attract than you think.’
She knew from researching information how terrible the Sangvis Queen was to her enemies, so she thought this negotiation would go well.
It would be natural to think positively if you were to send away a confidant you found out while researching alone.
Let’s move on while drinking some strange kimchi soup.
“I will do a physical examination.”
“I did it earlier.”
“It is a necessary procedure. Also, please take off your top and pants, as well as your panties, before entering.”
“Now you want me to go in naked?”
“It is a necessary procedure. Instead, I will give you a gown to cover your body, so please wear this.”
Even if you know that the other person is nervous, you must strictly follow what was originally decided.
What if he was brought in as a throwaway card and planned to assassinate Mai?
When coming in from outside, everyone was thoroughly checked to make sure there were no location trackers.
Still, it was her job as a secretary to be careful to avoid any untoward incidents as much as possible.
“As you wish.”
In response to the secretary’s words, Lee Jin-seok told him to just do whatever he wanted.
It was really easy to kill everyone here with my bare body anyway, and being treated like this was like something out of a movie.
‘This really feels like a movie.’
You are treated like an assassin, all the blades on your body are inspected, all your clothes are taken off in case you brought something else, and you are even given a gown.
This experience, which an ordinary person could never experience, was more enjoyable than I expected.
After putting on the gown, I was able to go inside, and I was finally able to meet a woman named Mai Nishina.
“Mai, I have brought a person to negotiate with.”
“Good job.”
After receiving a polite greeting from her secretary, Moroha, Mai smiled leisurely and looked at the man wearing only a robe in front of her.
He must have trained hard, so even under the gown, all his muscles were visible, and he looked quite muscular.
Mai liked her eyes even more because they were clearly the eyes of someone who had experience killing people.
It’s not easy to kill someone in Korea, but if you’re a veteran who even commits murder, wouldn’t you be someone the Queen of Iron Blood cherishes?
I couldn’t help but feel good when something I had only thought about became reality.
But.
‘I need to let you know…!’
Yozora, who knew even a little bit about Lee Jin-seok’s true appearance, wanted to share the information she had as soon as possible.
They say that bragging that they may already know everything about their situation will not work.
The good news is that even a monster cannot do something alone.
That was Yozora’s only comfort. Of course, even that thought will be shattered today.
“You had a hard time coming, it must have been quite difficult to avoid Otoji’s eyes.”
Thanks to her belief that she was superior to her opponent, Mai Nishina’s expression of congratulations on her relaxed face was quickly shattered.
“Not much?”
“Ha…?”
It was because she was not the Queen of Iron Blood herself, but she was just her confidant, and she could not have imagined that she would speak informally in her yard.
It was so absurd that the secretary Moroha next to her moved, leaving Mai Nishina dumbfounded for a moment.
“Who are you talking to now?”
I glared at the man with murderous eyes, as if I wanted to kill him at any moment, but nothing changed.
No, rather, the man sighed and spoke with a very relaxed expression, as if the nervousness he had just moments ago was gone.
“Why are you speaking informally? I said the same thing.”
How can I stand it when someone who is not even the Queen of Iron Blood says something like that to the head of an organization?
Additionally, this is a safe house where all of Nishina Mai’s loyalists gather.
A place where no one has any idea what happens here.
If I didn’t like it, I could have cut off its head in an instant, but that was too arrogant.
“That won’t work. I need to correct that careless habit before we talk.”
So Moroha, the secretary, nodded to help people understand the topic.
-Chuck.
-Teotuk
-Sreuk.
Then, the subordinate waiting in the secret room, the subordinate hiding in the pillar, and the subordinate waiting at the door.
More than 10 people appeared and began to surround Lee Jin-seok.
“Even now, kneel down and tell Mai that you were wrong. “Then I will overlook your rudeness.”
Getting off the ground at the start of a conversation is very important. So, in order to discourage him, everyone except the current external security personnel came out.
No matter how confident the opponent is in their skills, if they see this many people, they will have no choice but to give up.
Dealing with armed powerful people without any weapons was nothing short of crazy.
But.
‘Hmm, that’s good.’
As soon as he was able to demonstrate his skills, Jinseok Lee actually laughed.
And Yozora, who watched his expression right next to him, put her strength on Yodo to avoid being rude as much as possible.
His expression now was quite ferocious, like a wild beast that had found a suitable plaything.
His smile was so fierce that even the thought that he couldn’t win because there were so many people disappeared.
Even more so than when he first saw himself and exuded death.
