Chapter 46

“Eh? Who is that guy?”

“Why is Mont acting like that?”

In the bright room there were five or six men. In the center of the room there was a large oval table and on it various cuisine plates.

Then from the innermost seat a large man rustled and sat up.

“Who are you?”

Yi-hyeon looked at that man carefully and asked the one whose nape he was holding.

“Is that John?”

“Yes···. That’s right.”

Yi-hyeon nodded and said low.

“Understood.”

And slightly gave strength to the left hand holding the nape.

Udeudeuk!

A low sound of bone breaking occurred and the man quietly collapsed.

“That, that bastard···.”

Seeing the collapsing colleague the guys who only then came to senses began to move each. Looking quickly there is no guy whose belly protrudes and looks dull. Meaning guys who use a bit of strength in their own way.

“Don’t move!”

Then Lee Seung-uk who entered following Yi-hyeon aimed dual pistols and said. He entered holding even the gun taken from the van in addition to the Glock he had.

Originally when Yi-hyeon enters the room Lee Seung-uk is set to guard the door. Precisely attacker and backup agent.

The basic of street fighting and such things are familiar to the body without needing to match words separately but Lee Seung-uk entered the room.

“There was one guy standing guard outside so I handled.”

Yi-hyeon without even turning only nodded and asked toward the guys in front.

“Everyone step aside a bit, you come this way.”

Yi-hyeon shook the drawn gun and said. The later words are words to the leader John sitting inside.

“This, this!”

Someone who was frozen looking at Lee Seung-uk and Yi-hyeon’s guns eventually moved. Lowering the posture like lightning and trying to draw the pistol at the waist.

But the result was one shot!

Pshoot!

Without Yi-hyeon even needing to step forward Lee Seung-uk shot first, and the man who was hit in the head by the gun sat down with a thud on the chair and dropped his head. Blood burst out from the back of the broken head and painted the white back wall with blood, and the guys beside opened their mouths and stiffened their bodies.

Yi-hyeon exhaled a sigh and opened his mouth.

“This is really bothersome.”

When Yi-hyeon raised the Glock, Lee Seung-uk stepped forward before that.

Pushoong pushoong!

Pushoong pushoong!

Shot four shots and when Lee Seung-uk raised the gun there was no need to shoot more. Because a close distance of not even a few meters there is no need to confirm kill.

“Keuheum···!”

Now the man who survived alone, John spat a groan through his teeth. These kinds of guys are the first. Entered the room and shot and killed the subordinates without particular words.

Since eating and living doing shootings for decades from army days, though knowing his own end would also not be good, he did not know that day would be today.

Now looking around the room vibrating with the smell of blood Yi-hyeon said simply to Lee Seung-uk.

“Let’s take this guy.”

“······.”

Lee Seung-uk omitting even the answer aimed the gun at John and said.

“You this way.”

John raised his huge body and walking leaning on the table felt his legs trembling. He met a real death god today.

But it was only the beginning. He was not even guessing the terrible time that would come yet.

The two people passed the restaurant whose business ended and dragged John down the passage they came up first. Coming to the back of the building the van is parked as is.

Lee Seung-uk hurriedly moved the dead driver aside and sat and Yi-hyeon took John and rose to the back seat.

“Let’s go to a quiet place. Somewhere the pier.”

“Yes.”

Lee Seung-uk turned on his phone instead of the old navigation attached to the van and began to drive familiarly. Though it seems long since the two people entered the restaurant the actual time did not take even 15 minutes. Organized one organization in only 15 minutes.

Soon the place the van arrived was an abandoned factory by the seaside smelling of fish. Simply broke the lock clumsily filled at the entrance of the factory and drove the car inside and in the empty factory building fishing nets and broken plastic were scattered here and there.

“Here is good.”

Yi-hyeon took John into the single-story office building attached beside the large building. And dragged an empty chair and offered it to John. Fortunately the fluorescent light in the office turned on.

“Sit here, John. It might become a little long talk.”

“······.”

When John sat on the chair made of wood, Yi-hyeon raised his foot and lightly stamped John’s knee. Kok kok.

“Heup!”

John could not block the scream bursting from his mouth. Because Yi-hyeon’s light kick gave terrible pain as if piercing both knees with a spear tip.

And, after a moment the sensation below the knee disappeared. Even trying to stand no strength enters at all.

“Well, let’s talk a bit. Know that the pain you receive also changes according to your attitude.”

Yi-hyeon also dragged one empty chair and sat and put the Glock on the table and looked straight at John’s eyes. And turned on the ballpoint pen type recorder in his top pocket. Unknown what can be obtained from such a guy, but just in case.

To him who was only swallowing with fear and pain Yi-hyeon asked low.

“Who’s instruction did you try to abduct me?”

“······.”

John was blank with his mouth open. Now his head inside is tangled like a thread ball so not a situation to do normal thinking. Yi-hyeon also knew that fact seeing his empty eyes.

Cheolsseok!

“Keuheuk!”

When spreading the palm wide and hitting his face a few white teeth popped out from John’s mouth. And whether the eyes dyed with fear and a little came to senses light returned to the pupils.

“I have no time···.”

“O’Neil! Theodore O’Neil. Received that guy’s service and did the work.”

Seeing Yi-hyeon raising his hand again John quickly opened his mouth. In this situation there is not a bit of room to think of loyalty to O’Neil or something. What loyalty does a gangster in Harlem’s back alley have.

“Yes. Theodore O’Neil. Tell the talk about that guy. As detailed as possible. If nothing to talk··· you will die quite painfully.”

Yi-hyeon said looking into John’s eyes.

John shuddered seeing Yi-hyeon’s expressionless eyes. And said about O’Neil as he knew. Desperately racked his head fearing he forgot something.

That way a little time passed, John closed his mouth and Yi-hyeon asked again.

“How much of such services have you done? My words so when did you start this work, and mainly what kind of work did you do.”

“That, that···.”

Cheolsseok!

Seeing the hesitating John Yi-hyeon slapped the cheek once more, and muttered low.

“You still know me as a good person, huh?”

Yi-hyeon who stood up from the seat grabbed the lower part of the chest of John who was sitting on the chair and trembling. And when beginning to flow qi John’s eyes opened wide as if tearing. Opening the mouth and trying to say something but it does not come out of the mouth.

Now Yi-hyeon is flowing his qi thinly and scraping John’s nerves. Because the qi is scraping the entire nervous system of the upper body like sawing humans cannot endure that pain. Probably even wild beasts could not endure this.

When Yi-hyeon let go of the hand, John collapsed as if sticking to the chair. Though a short time flowed, John’s upper body became covered in sweat.

“Keuheuheuk!”

And howled. A man with a mountain-like build is crying streaming tears like chicken droppings from the eyes.

A little passed John who came to senses began to open his mouth again.

“Meeting O’Neil was 8 years ago but in fact before that mainly···.”

John’s not short talk began, and Yi-hyeon only listened silently.

That way John now began to spill not only the talk about O’Neil but even the story about himself and how much passed.

“Wait!”

“······.”

John stopped the words and looked at Yi-hyeon. But Yi-hyeon’s expression was a little strange.

“Tell again. That part.”

“Yes, so···.”

Yi-hyeon cut John’s words and said one by one.

“That, the thing of pushing the Eastern couple coming out of Quaker Ridge Golf Club with a truck. 5. 6 years ago.”

The speaking Yi-hyeon’s voice was cracked. At the unusual appearance John who was trembling his body without knowing also began to open his mouth squeezing the memory.

“So, that service was also received from the organization O’Neil belongs to. At that time not O’Neil instructed but a guy named Stampo, on some day in June came and···.”

“Wait! From now on don’t speak vaguely in the way of some day. Squeeze all your memory and speak accurately. If not··· you will resent being alive.”

“···Yes yes. So···.”

John filled with fear opened his mouth stammering. In this situation there are no words he cannot say. Prepared to spill everything if only not receiving that pain again.

Yi-hyeon made John repeat the same content several times. And concentrated all spirit and listened to the guy’s words.

This guy!

The guy who pushed the car the parents rode with a truck 5 years ago. This guy did that work. Saying ‘work’.

Finally Yi-hyeon raised the upper body. Whether concentrated excessively the eyelids ache. Somehow time passed midnight and was becoming dawn.

“Representative···.”

Lee Seung-uk who was secretly guarding outside entered and called quietly. The time to go came.

“Handle this guy. The sins committed are too many, but don’t even want to touch the hand.”

“······.”

Lee Seung-uk silently approached John and aimed the gun at the forehead.

“Um, hey. I···.”

Though John desperately opened his mouth in a hoarse voice, Lee Seung-uk mercilessly pulled the trigger.

“Let’s go. From now on there is a lot to do.”

Yi-hyeon said to Lee Seung-uk while going outside.

The two people did not ride the van. Since there are also three corpses in that car one cannot ride around now that the day is brightening.

That way walking quite a while and catching a taxi and getting off near Columbus Circle and went to a nearby public restroom. Yi-hyeon and Lee Seung-uk first confirmed whether there is a surveillance camera.

- Yi-hyeon don’t mind such things. There is one on the ceiling of the entrance there but it is broken.

‘Yes. Then, relief.’

“Well, if doing this isn’t it identical?”

When Yi-hyeon released the qi projected on Lee Seung-uk’s face, Lee Seung-uk’s face returned to the original appearance.

“Really amazing, representative. Can I also learn this?”

Seeing his appearance that became lively Yi-hyeon laughed.

“Well, if you train about a hundred years perhaps unknown.”

The two people going out of the restroom took off the jumpers they were wearing and stuffed them into a large trash can. Since wearing these clothes and doing action scenes in New York city one cannot continue wearing. And though Yi-hyeon’s clothes were clean, on Lee Seung-uk’s jumper blood splattered a lot here and there.

“Running all night the belly is hungry. Shall we go to Koreatown and eat haejangguk?”

At Yi-hyeon’s words Lee Seung-uk brightened.

“That is good. I also heard. If going to Koreatown everything in Seoul is there. The taste is also better than Seoul.”

The two people rode a taxi again and went to Koreatown near West 32nd Street and Lee Seung-uk who got off the car admired.

“Wow. There is even a Jongno bindaetteok shop, Seoul kkaktugi and that is Bukchang-dong sundubu. Kyaa.”

Yi-hyeon who experienced many things overnight also was glad of the Korean signs. But Bukchang-dong sundubu is said the origin is LA in the US.

Of course there is also a haejangguk shop that opens 24 hours so the two people entered that shop.

Cheongjin-dong haejangguk.

Yi-hyeon has not been but there is what he heard from father.

Now the vicinity of Cheongjin-dong is all redeveloped so almost no traces of the past except Insa-dong and Samcheong-dong side. Though there is a place called Pimatgol composed imitating the old atmosphere between huge buildings Yi-hyeon has also not been there. Have to match the atmosphere with young people.

But the place father researched overnight and occasionally stopped by with disciples at dawn and did one glass of soju with seonji haejangguk was precisely Cheongjin-dong haejangguk. Unexpectedly coming to New York’s Cheongjin-dong haejangguk shop at dawn on the day catching one strand of the clue entangled in the parents’ death.

Yi-hyeon was immersed in thought looking at the large seonji lumps in the clear broth.
