European Financial Emperor - European Financial Emperor chapter 253

253 Legend(1)

Lee Hwan could not hide his embarrassment at the unexpected person who had visited him since early morning.

“… … Yuhara from Kanto?”

“Now, I’m calling you Yoo from Hanyang.”

“Hmm, I’ve heard of that reputation. It’s really surprising that you’re coming to see me after I’m retired.”

“Would you like to see me?”

Lee Hwan had no reason to dismiss Yoo Ha as saying that he had come to visit him.

He invited Yoo Ha to a drinking party in the morning.

In front of distilled soju, Lee Hwan drank a glass of sashimi with fresh sashimi.

The sliding door opened in front of him and Yoo-ha entered.

“Your Majesty, Shin Yuha! Greetings to His Majesty!”

“Hey, it’s because he’s in Easterfield now.”

“Still, isn’t the title still unified with your Highness? We have no choice but to follow the rules.”

“You also lived in Joseon, and now you have become a scholar.”

“… … I’m sorry.”

“Well, please sit down.”

Lee Hwan placed Yoo Ha in front of him and handed him a glass of wine.

The reason he has been watching the drinks since morning is because he wants to talk openly with Yoo Ha.

“I heard a lot about you from your uncle. A very good admiral.”

“It’s overrated. I think it may be because the master has been too generous in his evaluation of the villain.”

“I heard you are a loyal navy, but what if your uncle suddenly disappeared?”

“Now I have to find my way.”

“Are you planning to go back to the sea again?”

“If possible, I would like to work at Grim Reaper.”

Lee Hwan offered him a drink.

Then, Yoo-ha empties the glass without a sound.

Then, Lee Hwan secretly handed him a word.

“It’s nice to be part of the Grim Reaper. To be free and to be able to go back to the sea that I so longed for. But there is one thing to keep in mind.”

“Yes, my lord. You go to school.”

“We are the shadows of Easterfield. If we die on the battlefield, no one will remember our names. Even balls made on the battlefield are not counted. Officially, the Grim Reapers are like a non-existent ghost group.”

“You mean you can’t get the honor?”

“Our honor lives only in the shadow of Easterfield. I can’t go outside.”

Yoo-ha handed over one more drink that Lee Hwan had poured.

Then, the glass was turned over.

“I will step down from this position now. Also, I am ready to live the rest of my life like a shadow as someone out of this world.”

“Is that really enough?”

“If honor can be continued in the shadow of Easterfield, the honor of a small child will be remembered by allies. That is enough for me.”

“Hmm.”

“What greater luxury can a man have?”

Clearly, Yoo-ha was a much more upright person than Lee Hwan had thought.

Lee Hwan gave his cup to Yoo Ha.

“From now on, we will be together until we die. Let us die with honor.”

“Yes, my lord! From now on, I will serve you as a lord!”

Yoo-ha broke the cup on the table with her hand.

Clink!

So, the blood was poured into Lee Hwan’s cup, and alcohol was poured over it.

Then, Lee Hwan also hit a piece of glass with his hand and bled.

Quang!

Lee Hwan also put blood in a glass and drank half of it.

“From now on, call me brother.”

“Yes, brother!”

Yoo Ha drank the rest of the cup, and the two formed a brotherly righteousness.

a few days after that.

Yi Hwan led the fleet to the vicinity of the South China Sea.

“Is there a den of pirates around here?”

“Yes, brother. As far as I know, pirates who were active in Japan in the past have moved to China. Originally, this was a place where gangs of pirates lived, but I think they might have established a foundation here.”

Perhaps because he was a former pirate, Yoo-ha had a clear understanding of how this neighborhood’s dark district was running.

According to the scattered information brought by the criminals of Wang Limeh, whom Lee Hwan captured recently, criminal organizations are scattered sporadically in Southeast Asian countries near the South China Sea and numerous countries in the Indochina Peninsula.

The information seemed to be true, and it was consistent with what Yuha knew to some extent.

Lee Hwan decided to set up a temporary fleet base here and start a full-scale investigation.

“The main bases of the pirates are the Philippines and the Paracel Islands, and as you know, their area of activity is the South China Sea. In addition, the largest gathering places for criminal groups on land are Thailand and Burma, and they are said to be active in the Mekong River basin.”

“Where are our main bases and fleet bases located?”

“This is Taiwan’s Pratas Islands.”

“Okay, anchor in the Pratas Islands, form a line, and then sortie.”

In the Pratas Islands, the Grim Reaper Fleet Base is located, which is lined with coastal artillery and air bases, as well as various military facilities underground.

Grim Reaper’s agents live here and prepare for the operation.

Yi Hwan intended to take over the largest criminal gangs in the Pratas Islands.

A few hours later, the fleet reached the vicinity of the Pratas Islands.

Upon arriving at the Pratas Islands, Lee Hwan restocked his weapons and fuel and set out on a full-fledged pursuit.

The first organization that Lee Hwan targeted was the ‘Dark Star Cluster’.

“Primarily committed to assassination of factors and inducing international conflict, it is one of the largest international criminal syndicates, but lacks detailed information.”

“It’s a factor assassination. It appears to be an organization that mainly deals with contract killings.”

“According to experts, it seems highly likely that the South American War or the American Civil War were also provoked by them for money.”

“… … Yes, in the case of the South American war, it seems more likely.”

At the outbreak of the South American War, Colombia was accused of brutally murdering Brazilian businessmen.

However, the Colombian government said Brazilian businessmen were spies, and if both of their claims were true, the possibility that a criminal group such as the Dark Star might have intervened was very high.

Lee Hwan hastily prepared to infiltrate the predicted area inhabited by the Dark Star cluster.

“What kind of tactic would we need to infiltrate their lair?”

“I think it would be quickest to first capture the affiliated organizations of the Dark Star and then disguise ourselves as them.”

“It is an affiliated organization. Do you want to distribute drugs?”

“These days, the slave trade seems to be the most lucrative on the floor.”

“Let’s disguise ourselves as human traffickers, that’s what I mean.”

“Yes, it is. There are a lot of useful young friends among our agents, so I think we have good news.”

To catch a tiger, it is standard to go to the tiger’s den.

Lee Hwan decided to meet the people who were optimized for this mission once.

that afternoon.

Twelve agents entered the commander’s office.

chuck!

“See you, Commander!”

“Relax.”

“thank you!”

Even at first glance, they were not at the average level of appearance.

He had such a beautiful appearance that it was hard to tell whether he was a woman or a man.

Lee Hwan asked them about the operation outline.

“How are you planning to infiltrate?”

“First, we will bring in a few shady agents and wipe out the human trafficking organization, and then we will dress up as women and mobilize for the transaction.”

“… … do you dress up as a woman? And what if something bad happens to you?”

“In that case, you can rest assured that we will not be left alone.”

“Well, who am I worried about right now?”

Even though they look pretty, these are the characters who cut people’s necks almost like watermelon in special warfare missions.

I didn’t even know it was a bit ironic to discuss personal safety with such human weapons.

Lee Hwan shook hands with the agents.

“I wish you all the best.”

“thank you!”

“Then get on with it.”

“Yep! Then let’s go!”

***

Quiet Sunday afternoon.

There was a drinking party in the hideout of the human trafficking group ‘Tonggeodan’.

“Come on, drink! Good drinks have arrived, so let’s have a proper drinking party!”

“By the way, where did you get these things from? It’s a very good product, so I think the Dark Star will like it.”

“I bought it at a high price from a black market merchant in Joseon to get a premium.”

“Haha, shall we first check the quality of the product?”

Behind them, a total of 50 women were imprisoned and trembling in fear.

The Tonggeodan treated people abducted as slaves regardless of their will as ‘commodities’ and treated them worse than livestock.

In a nutshell, to them, people were nothing more than money.

Yang Chan, the leader of the Tonggeo gang, opened the prison door to see the women.

Yang Chan lined them up in a row and slowly began to appreciate their beauty.

All of them barely covered only the places they wanted to cover, so their body and skin were exposed as they were.

He touched their skin and savored their whole body.

“Hmm, good! Yes, she should smell like this!”

“you’re right! I know what your brother is talking about. Very pheromone fragrance free!”

Then Yang-chan stopped for a moment at a certain point.

Where he stopped, a fairly tall woman stood with an expressionless face.

“… … . What does this bitch smell like? Smell like widower toes?”

“Isn’t it because I ate too much with my boyfriend?”

“What do you mean, you’re not even a virgin? Hmm, then the price would drop quite a bit.”

“older brother! Why, there are some people who like that?”

“… … Ah, that’s it again. There are a lot of perverts in this world, so it shouldn’t be such a big deal.”

Wang Chan, who wandered around harassing women round and round.

Then he stood in front of a beautiful blonde, and immediately smiled a sinister smile.

“You, listen to me today.”

“… … City, are you a maid?”

“You don’t know the federal language? Up and down, four times a day.”

“Well, I don’t know about that.”

“I don’t know? Then I can tell you.”

Yang-chan slowly begins to unwind.

That was then.

“The public will listen to me.”

“… … What, what? Why is your voice like this? Your voice is thicker than mine!”

“Of course. Because he is a man with a dick!”

The woman who just said that she smelled something strong was actually a man.

He put a right-handed straight punch into the nape of his neck.

Yang-chan immediately began to suffer from breathing difficulties and collapsed.

Quick!

“Cool! Cool! Hey, this shit… … .”

“These bitches look at people as pitiful!”

Tonggeodan, who each pulled out their weapons.

Bullets started raining behind their heads.

Tang Tang Tang!

“Ahhh!”

“Ahhh! It’s a bullet!”

The bullets flew so sporadically that it was hard to tell where the gun was being fired.

Grim Reaper’s agents, who were disguised as women, instructed the women brought into slavery to bow their heads.

“Shut up! It is more dangerous to move here!”

“… … Save people!”

It was at that time that it was truly a mess.

At some point, the gunfire stopped, and soon men with large Hwandudaedo entered.

“Stop moving! Do these poor bastards sell people as if they were goods? I can’t use it so much!”

“Hey, these bastards! Know who we are!”

“You know who you are. Babies whose hairs will be cut off soon!”

The Hwandudaedo wasn’t just about being stylish.

Scratch!

In fact, a person’s head was cut in half in one blow.

It was then that the Tonggeodan could feel deeply that something was wrong.

“Tongue, brothers! There must be some misunderstanding about this, but we are not like that!”

“Did I listen carefully to what you just said? Is that something you guys were talking about, or did the ghost speak for you?”

Grim Reaper’s agents gave each captured women a pair of clothes, and told them to wait for a while after putting them on.

Everyone was wrongly arrested, so they were going to send them home.

“Everyone can go home safely. If you want, we will escort you home, otherwise you can safely fly home with the money we give you.”

“… … Why are you even doing this?”

“Aren’t people supposed to be like this? Such scum cannot be considered a human being.”

When it was finally recognized that they were safe, they sat down and started crying.

“Damn, thank you! I will never forget this grace!”

“Everyone, please stay safe so this doesn’t happen again. Of course, the federal government will send someone. I will take care of you for a while, but please do not rely too much on the state and do your best to keep yourself safe.”

“… … thank you I was fortunate enough to end up in trouble like this, but on the other hand, I was lucky enough to be released like this.”

The members of the Grim Reaper group expelled the captured women outside as quickly as possible.

It was because from now on they would do things that would seriously hurt their stomach.

According to Grim Reaper’s instructions, Tonggeodan lay down on an operating table made of stainless steel.

“What are you doing?”

“I will put bombs in your ships.”

“Po, a bomb?!”

“I know that if you do not follow our instructions, there will be an explosion in the belly button on the spot.”

“… … Sah, please save me! No, please call the police!”

“The police are just looking for them in hell. Now, shall we begin?”

The Tonggeodan were all anesthetized, and immediately the doctors came in and started the operation.
