Regression Life of a Retired S-Class Mercenary - Regression Life of a Retired S-Class Mercenary chapter 178

Episode 178. Beta (1)

Shane and his remaining men were moving in two vehicles after getting out of an abandoned building in the southern outskirts of Gyeonggi-do that they were using as a hideout.

One of his subordinates, Blake, was at the wheel.

It must have been about thirty minutes. Blake, who was watching carefully, opened his mouth slowly.

“continue… Do you just run like this?”

“… … .”

Because I hadn’t heard anything about the destination.

Another car was just following the vehicle with the two people in it.

“wait.”

Shane took out his phone and picked it up. It’s a different phone than the one I called earlier.

When I pressed the call button with the number, a beep sounded.

turrr—

It didn’t take long to connect. And the voice of Kurt Herringen, the elder five, came through the receiver.

[Has it already been processed?]

It was a question full of expectations.

However, Shane’s answer did not live up to his expectations.

“sorry… … .”

[Is there a problem?]

“The last IP location the elder gave me was a decoy. It seems that Bernard and two of his men were attacked while checking the source of the wiretapping device found there.”

For a moment, a heavy silence fell over the receiver.

The IP was a trace that members of the organization under Elder Oh had difficulty catching. However, when I heard that the IP itself was a trap, I had no choice but to be embarrassed.

Not long after, Kurt Herringen spoke again.

[…] It was embarrassing.]

“There is a way, so I will solve it and go back.”

[no. Please return immediately.]

Shane’s expression hardened.

“Why? Are you sure you want to stop pursuing them?”

[Are you really going to disobey my order?]

“That’s not it. Besides, it is impossible to go outside under the current situation.”

[…] Why?]

“There is a problem with stowaways abroad. Because of this elder and three elders, we cannot use the internal smuggling line that was rebuilt.”

In response, Kurt Herringen let out a sigh.

The reason I asked him to come back in the first place was because of this elder Kamikura Horyuji and three elder Lester Ramos, who are active in Asia. It was clear that they would take issue with it if they learned of the existence of Shane and other Elder Oh’s forces.

[Ask again. Is it really hard to come out?]

“That’s right. It was Bernard who recognized the stowaway line in the first place. Time will linger anyway to find out again.”

[Large— the way I said… . Are you sure? Aside from the success of the operation, your existence must not be discovered by Elder Lee and Elder Three until you return.]

“… I will keep that in mind.”

The call ended just like that.

Shane, who was putting his cell phone in, pulled out a device the size of an adult man’s hand from the glove box.

On the front, there was a screen about the size of a palm. When I turned on the device, three red dots gathered in the lower left corner of the screen.

Confirming that, Shane said to Blake, who was driving.

“First, move to the southwest.”

It was a tracking GPS mounted on team members. It was not meant to be installed temporarily, but to those who moved under the name of Cerberus, it was to be implanted into the body unconditionally.

the time approaching dawn.

Eun Se-hyeon, head of Team 1 of the Crisis Management Office of the National Intelligence Service, hurriedly visited Jeong-jin Oh’s office.

It was a serious atmosphere. Oh Jeong-jin was also nervous at such a sight and waited for his words.

“In two vehicles, three more identities other than Bernard were identified in the front seat.”

The tablet passed from Eun Se-hyeon to Oh Jeong-jin.

Oh Jeong-jin, who was checking it, threw a question.

“someone?”

“Rock Sanders, Blake Mills, Jaden Foster. Each of them, like Bernard Grandt, is wanted in red for crimes such as terrorism and assassination of key figures.”

As soon as Oh Jung-jin heard that, his face was crumpled as if someone had stamped it.

“Why did that come out now!”

“sorry… Unlike Bernard Grant, Interpol said that the confirmation was delayed because they only checked with their faces.”

bang-!

Full of anger, Oh Jeong-jin hit the desk with his fist.

“Why are these guys… … !”

Currently, the expected number is a minimum of four and a maximum of eight. At least among them, all of them were wanted terrorists.

Besides, it wasn’t even a small fish. The biographies of the three people checked on the tablet were as colorful as Bernard Grant’s.

At the same time, a deep sigh escaped Oh Jeong-jin’s mouth.

“Has it not been located yet?”

“There is a limit to the number of people in the Crisis Management Office. I’d rather ask for help from the police… … .”

“Are you crazy? The presidential election is right around the corner! Besides, Cheon Joo-hee is backing the NIS with regards to national security! However, who will suffer if this situation is known!”

What made Green Window Party’s presidential candidate Cheon Joo-hee the next leading candidate after Yoon Jae-seung, who was arrested? It was thanks to her career that she was a chief judge of the Seoul Southern District Court.

A just country, a realization of good and punishment, and a safe country.

With that ideology at the forefront, Cheon Joo-hee promised to support the NIS along with the judiciary.

“… sorry.”

“I’m really going back… … .”

“Find all you can—”

Woo-woo-woo-woo-

Eun Se-hyun’s cell phone rang. It was a call from the search team.

It was an important situation, so I received it right away even in front of Oh Jeong-jin.

“What came out?”

[A cannon vehicle that was being tracked at Yangjae IC was found and tracked, and a suspicious incident occurred near the point where the car was parked.]

“A suspicious incident?”

[Noise complaints came in from the neighborhood, and while the police were patrolling, they found that the Goo communication store was in a mess, and a large amount of bloodstains and shell casings were found in the store and nearby.]

The cell phone turned into a speaker phone so Jeong-jin Oh could hear it.

Oh Jeong-jin and Eun Se-hyun’s expressions hardened at the same time at the name of ‘Goo Communication’.

“I am Oh Jeong-jin, the head of the department. Did you say Goo communication?”

[No, that’s right.]

“Immediately transfer the case from the local police station! Never let that investigation proceed!”

[All right.]

“and!”

I was about to disconnect the call.

The search team agent quietly waited for Oh Jeong-jin’s words.

“Has it been confirmed what happened to the owner of the store called Goo Communications?”

[I haven’t been able to confirm that yet, but I’m currently not contacting you. The location is also not known. As soon as additional information comes in, I will report it.]

“… okay.”

Then the call was disconnected.

Both knew who owned the Goo telecommunications store in Cheonggyecheon.

Eun Se-hyeon looked at her and asked cautiously.

“Is Koo Sang-wook related to those terrorists?”

“I don’t know… Because you might have put your hands on something dangerous to make money. but… Seriously, why did they go looking for Gu Sang-wook? no way… … .”

Oh Jeong-jin’s eyes turned to Eun Se-hyeon. It was a look that gave off a suspicious feeling.

Encountering those eyes, Eun Se-hyeon was taken aback.

“Why, why?”

“You, by any chance, did you exchange some kind of behind-the-scenes dealings with Koo Sang-wook?”

Oh Jeong-jin knew that Gu Sang-wook hung a signboard that read “Goo Communications” and bought and sold various kinds of information using the personal connections he had accumulated during his days in the NIS. If we immediately guessed that Ku Sang-wook disappeared at the hands of terrorists, we did not know that it was related to information trading.

“I have never dealt with Koo Sang-wook before or now.”

“Now believe me. Anyway, look for Gu Sang-wook. If they really took you, you can track them down with their traces.”

“as soon as… I will move.”

Eun Se-hyeon, who came out into the hallway, sighed in relief and bit her lip.

“Ko Sang-wook, what the hell is this bastard doing!”

615 Neunggok-dong, Siheung-si, Gyeonggi-do.

It was the place where Kangsu and Teresa had been nearly defeated by the Savnak gang along with Gil Tae-yong in the past, but were repulsed in reverse. Nowadays, it has become a place where people do not visit more than before because many bodies were found at the time.

Kang-soo, along with his colleagues, put the kidnapped people down inside the old building.

“Cap. We’ll check outside and come back.”

“Do it.”

Jack and Simon went out together.

In the meantime, Kangsu removed Bernard and Clifford’s eye patch, gag, and earplugs while wearing a mask.

The two stared at the river that was squatting in front of them. It was a look that habitually checked the surrounding landmarks along with the situation.

Kangsu said as soon as his eyes met with those two.

“You can die if you want to die. Bernard Grant, Clifford Graham.”

When the full name came out correctly, the two made a surprised expression.

At this, English came out of Bernard’s mouth.

“Was it you who dragged us into our IP here in Korea and hid the wiretap in an abandoned building?”

“… … .”

“Why are you guys targeting us? for what reason!”

At Bernard’s excited cry, Kang-su stared at it and said,

“Do you speak Swahili?”

“… okay.”

Mercenaries are active in the Middle East and Africa. So, Middle Eastern languages, Swahili, French, etc. You will have no choice but to learn the main language used there.

“Good. So now I ask Where is the upper body that came to Korea with you?”

“… … .”

This time, Bernard kept his mouth shut.

Seeing this, Kang-soo laughed under his mask.

“Is this the Elder Kamikura Horyuji’s order? That being said, there are a lot of weak corners… … .”

For an instant, Bernard’s and Clifford’s eyes widened slightly. Even though I tried my best not to react, I couldn’t help but be surprised.

“I don’t know what you mean.”

“You didn’t send it from Ten Tsubasa? So, did you move separately without an order?”

When the name of the company related to Kamikura Horyuji was even mentioned, Bernard’s brows furrowed.

Of course, Bernard didn’t answer this question either.

“Ask me one more thing.”

“… … .”

“DGI Project… Have you ever heard of it?”

In an instant, Bernard’s expression became contemplative and hardened. Clifford, on the other hand, was bewildered. Just by comparing their reactions, it was clear that Bernard knew everything.

Kang-soo said while thinking about what to do.

“I see. How do you know? Is the experiment still going on?”

“Your boy… Who are you? How do you know about it?”

“If you’re willing to tell me what you know, do it, or die.”

From earlier, Kang-soo had been holding a pistol with a silencer in his right hand. It was the equipment that Bernard and his colleagues had.

“If you tell me, I will kill you anyway. Isn’t it?”

“Even if you don’t tell me, it’s the same as dying. In the end, I will destroy you and the entire Bluton Reform behind you.”

“You think that’s possible!”

Bernard was dumbfounded. Of course, I was surprised when the name Bluton Reform came out.

However, it was impossible to discuss the size of the organization without removing it from the individual. It has been rooted all over the world for a long time, and no one has been able to find out the truth until now.

Of course, Bernard himself had only glimpsed the names of a few elders, and had never actually seen them.

“Everyone who died before you said that. But you guys couldn’t do anything about us in Poland. Isn’t it?”

“that-!”

No matter what I tried to say, it was difficult to refute. Besides, if he was provoked and talked excitedly, he might spit out something about the organization.

Bernard gritted his teeth and became cautious. Then, as he turned his head, he looked at his left shoulder.
