Chapter 188

Wrongly Pointed

Even the fluster confirming the bribe ledger brief, the smuggling king smiled faintly.

“Seemed I thought all kinds of unnecessary. Too obvious?”

As discovered room for compromise, the smuggling king’s complexion brightened visibly.

“Wondered why central intelligence caught us, indeed because of presidential election and general election?”

The smuggling king’s voice also released leisurely.

“If such enough even without exercising skill. Okay if actively moving for the ruling party and president’s election?”

“Wrongly pointed.”

I said cutting.

“That side not my business.”

“Not for political maneuver and removing political enemies? Then why mobilizing such public power and taking the bribe ledger?”

“How many times saying I only came to buy tanks?”

“······.”

My purpose the same from beginning to end.

“For reference the proposal I made still valid.”

“Proposal? The one saying will undercut and cut tank price with skill, with ability, with sense?”

“Receive and recruitment proposal additional.”

I grinned.

“Won’t work under me?”

“······Sincere sound?”

“Of course. Promise industry highest treatment. Comfortable enjoying peaceful old age life without being chased by public power and knife fights! How?”

“······Threatening?”

“Recruitment proposal.”

The smuggling king’s expression distorted strangely.

Whether or not.

Since the knife drawn, I decided to slice refreshingly.

“For reference threat will do mentioning the president.”

When brought out the same words, the smuggling king snorted last time and answered as follows.

-Stop. Such not even scary to a person like me.

-If something enough briefly fleeing abroad. I also a person doing deep-sea fishing.

-If can’t obtain tanks the regrettable not me but little kid you. Time tight preparing two months later immediately?

Brought out the same words this time too, but today can’t answer easily.

Head seemed complex.

The words the smuggling king barely brought out of the mouth this.

“Really moved the president?”

Unlike last time fear embedded instead of suspicion.

“Maybe?”

“······What that meaning?”

“Not yet, but the meaning the Blue House will move if reporting the situation?”

“······!”

The smuggling king’s complexion fully changed.

That the same for Han Myeong-ho.

“Was planning the Blue House intervening in this matter?”

Han Myeong-ho whispered small in my ear.

“Young Master, scale becoming too large? If Blue House hard to bear.”

A worried voice.

“Presidential election right in front. At this time even the president can’t not look at Busan public sentiment’s reaction.”

Clearly a conversation exchanged as if whispering.

The smuggling king sensed and shouted loudly.

“Please save!”

A despairing expression.

“If political maneuver at least a way to live. This··· this really······.”

Unbearable.

As Yu Jong-tae’s prediction the smuggling king’s answer already fixed.

“His Excellency the president staking life on the domestic tank performance test, and you said came to buy tanks receiving the order? Good! Will sell!”

The smuggling king with many suspicions, good head, good guts, good skill and ability.

No choice but to prostrate flat in front of the great disaster of public power, that the Blue House’s power.

“10 million won per unit!”

100 million won per unit goods fell to 1/10 price at once.

The smuggling king didn’t stop there.

“Bribe ledger? Limit only receiving and writing opening executive bastards’ mouths. I will actively cooperate!”

Not even spread the bribe ledger still holding at the side.

Not even brought out the ‘hyup’ character of threat in the president’s name.

The smuggling king promised voluntary cooperation.

“If desired just say! Will obtain anything somehow except drugs!”

Conclusion.

“So please open a way to live.”

Han Myeong-ho looked down at the smuggling king with strange eyes.

Words thrown as if probing.

“Empty mouth?”

“If promising only saving our kids’ lives······ will certainly pay the price.”

“Smuggling king, seems misunderstanding something······.”

“Jeju Island warehouse hiding tanks! Okay if informing the address?”

The sound of giving 100 million won per unit tanks for free.

As life price.

“What to do this. If Jeju Island warehouse searched yesterday.”

“Th, no way!”

Thud.

Han Myeong-ho opened the briefcase and took out one black document file and threw on the table.

Title <​Jeju Island Warehouse Seized Goods List>.

“Tanks 12 units. On the way coming reporting.”

“Hmm! Th, then Nampo-dong, Gamman-dong, Uam-dong, Yongdam-dong······!”

“Guns 80,000? That searched three days ago.”

“······!”

Han Myeong-ho opened the briefcase this time too and threw the black document file thud.

Title <​Warehouse Seized Goods List>.

“Don’t drag negotiation boringly. Ah, rather this faster?”

Han Myeong-ho took out black document files in order from the briefcase and threw thud thud thud thud.

“Seizure search of total 17 warehouses in only 8 districts in Busan such as Daecheong-dong, Bosu-dong, Choryang-dong, Sujeong-dong, Daegyo-dong, Sinseon-dong, Namhang-dong, Yongho-dong, Bansong-dong completed as of yesterday.”

“······!”

“Aquatic product warehouse investigation that had bases in 19 ports such as Busan, Ulsan, Geoje, Pohang, Changwon currently in progress.”

“······!”

“Now scheduled movement and warehouse search along the East Sea, South Sea, West Coast to Incheon.”

Han Myeong-ho smiled tapping the black document files thrown thud thud thud with fingertips.

“Only left confirming searching one by one according to the statement. More negotiation distance left?”

The smuggling king tightly closed eyes.

“Then nominee accounts and hidden assets······!”

“Lawyer Jang Sun-il, Accountant Kim Yeong-deuk, Tax accountant Choi Yeong-uk, Broker Lee Seon-pyeong, Finance director Go Dong-cheol, General affairs director Shin Hyeong-guk, Managing director Baek Geon-yeong, Outside director Jeong Ho-gyun.”

Thud. Thud. Thud. Thud. Thud. Thud. Thud. Thud.

Black document files organized by list continuously came out from Han Myeong-ho’s briefcase.

This series <​Hidden Assets List and Management Ledger>.

Made and brought such in mere ten days.

“If thoroughly searching even back alley merchants of International Market and Jagalchi Market even empty holes all filled.”

“Surrender.”

Finally the smuggling king raised both hands.

“Whatever will follow the upper line’s meaning.”

The smuggling king thudded the forehead on the negotiation table.

“If say die will die, if say kill will kill, if say obtain will obtain, if say prostrate will prostrate!”

Thud!

“Dirty work, hard work, shameful work, dangerous work, annoying work, headache work whatever just order!”

Thud! Thud! Thud!

“Whether searching warehouse, searching assets, searching ships no matter. Will give all!”

Thud!

“So please only save our family’s lives!”

Tak.

I inserted a hand between the smuggling king’s forehead and the table.

Only then the smuggling king’s head banging ended.

“When did I say came to eradicate the smuggling organization?”

I’m not police, not prosecution, not central intelligence?

Not even came out from Financial Supervisory Service or National Tax Service, what catching smuggling.

“Saying repeatedly I came to buy tanks.”

Incidentally if can recruit talent better.

“Young Master, even searching more only small money will come out now.”

Han Myeong-ho stealthily stepped into mediation.

Looking at me with subtle eyes.

“If putting all these bastards into prison won’t finish cleanly without worrying aftermath?”

Eyes expecting reward for the merit of driving the smuggling king to the dead end cliff.

The smuggling king added at this time.

“If have to go to prison will go willingly! Instead please see enough to paint mouths of remaining family!”

Wrongly pointed so.

I looked straight at the smuggling king.

“Tank 10 million won per unit, call.”

“······?”

“Can’t add customs clearance fee, insurance fee, entertainment expense, value-added tax but will take care of goods price and transport fee, effort fee, risk allowance.”

“······??”

“Of course used tanks rolling in the battlefield so half of half of half price of new tanks. So 10 million won per unit! Dissatisfied?”

“Uh, none!”

The smuggling king raised the head with a whoosh.

An unbelievable gaze.

“I said will undercut and cut the price with skill, with ability, with sense, when said will swallow empty mouth like a daylight thief?”

“Th, then prison life······.”

“When did I threaten saying sending to prison?”

“Such public power mobilized, someone has to take responsibility······!”

“If you go to prison who does Busan Gyeongnam’s orphanages, nursing homes, night schools, war veteran sponsorship?”

One of the secrets the smuggling king tightly holding International Market and Busan Port could survive on this floor for long.

Quite many among back alley guys living bottom life received the smuggling king’s help.

-Jeong-hyeok, if not that person think still rolling in the market back alley.

My only sworn brother who served as Taeseong University Hospital director.

One of the people who received the smuggling king’s sponsorship benefit.

“People caught in the detention center simply investigated and all safely returned home long ago.”

“······!”

Behind operating smuggling organization.

Strictly also fishermen continuing livelihood catching mackerel and cutlassfish, shrimp and tuna.

Agriculture forestry livestock fishery the primary industry forming the foundation of this country the country protects?

“Instead can’t see guys with dirty crime quality.”

I opened the coin wallet.

The roster separately written while reviewing the black document file received from Han Myeong-ho.

I pushed the paper largely written ‘kill list’ as title.

No matter how I rolled in the back alley, style not associating with drug addicts.

“Seemed trying to hire cleaners and mercenaries with drug selling money.”

To kill the smuggling king and seize the juicy International Market and smuggling route.

“Not my business how to process guys who tried to point knives at brothers because of drugs.”

I pointed the kill list names with red lines drawn with fingertips.

“A bit that kidnapped and sold women while opening drug smuggling route.”

Don’t want to argue women going to Japanese smuggling brokers saying will earn money.

Can’t turn a blind eye up to kidnapping women without connections and selling to yakuza saying that earns money.

“Know so these bastards’ diverted drugs and drug factory I burned.”

Private loans at least put out urgent fire, gangs at least protect merchants, solvers at least solve household disputes, cleaners at least process human trash.

My theory drugs only harm society without one good thing.

Tak.

I took out the neatly folded contract from the coin wallet.

A tank purchase contract specifying delivery date and delivery place, purchase amount.

“Read and sign and seal.”

The smuggling king didn’t even look at the purchase contract.

Instead only staring at me piercing.

Thanks to that could recall the matter almost forgot.

“By the way, will offer the guns and bomb types discovered when searching the warehouse to the Blue House.”

The Republic of Korea a gun control country.

Also bomb types punishment target just manufacturing and possessing, distributing.

“Think that life price and donate to the country.”

Guns about 80,000.

Tanks 9 excluding the 3 tanks I will purchase.

Bomb types about 10 tons amount.

“Submarines also five. Thinking of offering that to the Blue House too.”

I said cutting.

“Instead will receive the eye seal stamping price for this solidly.”

“Eye seal?”

“If the president somehow seems will like very much.”

“······!”

Han Myeong-ho and the smuggling king simultaneously were shocked.

“His Excellency the president······?”

“Submarines······?”

“Wrongly pointed.”

President, that old man a person who falls for a few submarines?

No way!

I snorted.

The more so the number of question marks rising on Han Myeong-ho and the smuggling king’s faces seemed increasing.

“If the Blue House reports this fuss and gets heated mutual troublesome the same?”

“······!”

“So if anyway thinking of receiving reward refreshingly instead of reprimand.”

“······Reward?”

The smuggling king muttered like a person half spirit gone.

“Smuggling the country prohibits, sprayed bribes evenly up and down from Busan area high-ranking officials······.”

The following words Han Myeong-ho received instead with a blank expression.

“There illegal gun and explosives smuggling. Possible receiving reward instead of punishment even doing this?”

“Nothing not possible?”

I opened the coin wallet and took out the neatly folded paper.

“In that meaning person to write contract?”

Of course the employment contract I prepared for 2 people, prepared separately each.

Instead this time threat together.

“If dislike receive the president’s rebuke with bare body.”

This precisely the threat mentioning the president!

“Think such firepower looks pretty in the eyes of a person who seized power with military coup?”

“······!”

“Perfect dying framed as rebellion?”

“······!”

Answer fixed from the beginning.

* * *

Blue House president’s office.

The president threw the report on the office desk.

“What? Guns 80,000 tanks 9, bomb types 10 tons?”

The president couldn’t endure and stood up with a whoosh.

“Rebellion?”

“If rebellion would I leisurely reporting such?”

The central intelligence director.

Already finished talking sharing the merit regarding Taeseong’s tank development plan.

“If not rebellion what?”
