Episode 53

Any commander who goes into battle draws up a plausible operational plan and then rushes into the battlefield.

But the real world is not like a domino system where the dominoes fall from 1 to 10 without fail.

Most operations go awry before they even begin, with all sorts of variables creating unexpected situations.

Even veteran soldiers have a hard time in real combat, so how much harder must it be for civilians?

There’s no need to go through all that trouble.

Simple and efficient is best.

‘Just keep this in mind.’

I called my party aside and told them to stop making plans and just fight while keeping these three principles in mind.

First, never attempt to breach the fourth floor; second, if there are casualties, move them to the rear immediately; third, make as much noise as possible to create a disturbance at the scene.

I especially asked that the third instruction be given first, as it was not that difficult.

And the group seemed to have not forgotten this, so they made a bit of a ‘too’ loud noise.

Waaaaaaaaa – – -!!

The noise was so loud that anyone who heard it would have thought it was a top star concert.

Most of the noise was the screaming and shouting of the crowd, and the cracking sound of things breaking.

I can roughly guess what the situation is without even looking at it.

Those who receive instructions will make threats with the most exaggerated movements possible.

The gang, sensing that the atmosphere was tense, concentrated their efforts on the barricade.

A line that seems too close to be crossed, a tense standoff and a moment of imminent conflict where insults are exchanged.

The situation I wanted was this moment when all eyes in the shelter were focused on one side.

widely!

I quickly got off the roof and went down the emergency ladder that connected to the lower floor.

And as soon as I arrived at the 5th floor observation deck, I pulled up my mask to the tip of my nose and looked around.

‘quiet.’

This was an unused space, so all the lights were off and a cold air was blowing in.

Did you ever expect that people would come here?

Of course, the 5th floor didn’t even have a lock on the emergency exit, let alone a barricade.

I crossed the dark lobby and entered the stairs leading down.

Sniff sniff!

At that moment, Coco finally flares her nose as she detects a smell floating in the air.

At the same time, it began tracking the target along a line of smell that humans could not sense.

‘Found it.’

The woman said that she was only his personal secretary in name, but in reality she was his young lover who followed him around like a concubine.

Since they usually bite, suck, and do all sorts of things together, their smell will be deeply ingrained in each other.

There is a high probability that they are still together or wandering around nearby.

I followed Coco, who was running after the smell, down to the 4th floor, which was the gang’s base.

‘This is a mess.’

The fourth floor is an office space densely packed with various airlines and partner companies from various countries.

Additionally, it was also the location where a military unit in charge of the shelter was once located.

Maybe that’s why the atmosphere was definitely different from the messy downstairs.

In particular, the military supplies and temporarily built facilities visible here and there seemed very useful.

However, most of it has been abandoned or left in disarray for a long time due to the gangs that have since occupied the place.

If you stole it, you might as well use it well. No matter how much I thought about it, I was no better than the plunderers.

Okay.

Leaning my back against the wall, I slowly looked around as I became absorbed into the darkness.

quiet.

Their base was completely empty, as if they had all rushed in after hearing the commotion outside.

As I lowered my footsteps, Coco, who had been sniffing for a while, also bent down and chased the smell.

We quickly passed through the fourth floor hallway and began to penetrate deep inside.

‘fizzle.’

But at that moment, an urgent voice was heard from an office at the fork in the road right in front.

“What are you doing! Quickly bring me your bag!”

“Chang-sik, is it really okay for us to be like this?”

“Haven’t you seen those bastards? We need to run away before they come rushing in here!”

“No matter what, it’s still like that… … .”

“Take one more thing while you talk.”

Still, it seems that among the remaining group, there were a few who understood the situation.

The two men who had escaped here without their colleagues’ knowledge were hurriedly gathering the remaining supplies.

Boom.

After that, I quietly approached him and grabbed his neck, turning him around.

“What are you doing? Why have you been talking like this since a while ago… … Huh?”

A man who has lost his comrade in an instant opens his eyes wide as if he has seen a ghost.

Crunch!

He covers the person’s mouth to prevent them from screaming, then gently turns their jaw to break their neck.

After taking care of both of them without shedding a drop of blood, I hid the bodies and cleaned up the scene.

It’s a bit of a hassle, but there are times when bare hands are cleaner than guns or blades.

Keep walking.

At first, Coco was hesitant, but gradually, she started to get a firm grasp on the direction and guided me.

After some time, we finally arrive at the partitioned space.

‘Are you here?’

Hehe!

Unlike the messy 4th floor hallway, the atmosphere from here on out is somewhat clean and organized.

In particular, paintings and decorations that should be in the terminal lobby are displayed throughout the hallways.

Should I say that it’s definitely a space for VIPs?

Looks like Coco has found her way to the right place.

Sreung!

I pulled out the greatsword that was stuck in my right thigh and slowly walked into the hallway.

“… … !”

At that moment, a faint scream began to be heard from the end of the dark hallway that turned to the right.

“It makes sense that we’re being pushed around! What are you doing with that ragtag bunch of trash!”

[Oh, it’s not as easy as you think, sir! There are so many things to shoot besides air guns!]

Adding the captured air guns and sling bows, there are nearly 40 people carrying weapons.

No matter how crude the lead bullet or the crude arrow, if it hits a person’s head, it will still kill them.

“You fucking idiots! Do you think I told you to do this? Stop it no matter what! If you get pushed back, we’re all finished!”

[……All right.]

The man on the other end of the radio answered with a trembling voice, barely holding back his anger.

Well, I would be angry too, since they’re just yelling without any concrete measures.

But it seemed like they couldn’t say anything because they had accumulated karma over time.

“You damn kids! All you know how to do is eat! It’s because you keep these guys around that I’m in this mess! What’s going on here? There’s not a single one of you worth doing!”

Director Kim, still angry, threw down the walkie-talkie he was holding and shouted.

“What are you thinking about! Hurry up and pack your bags!”

“yes yes!”

And he himself is trying to escape from here, so he is having his secretary pack his bags.

I walked to Director Kim’s room, listening to a conversation that sounded like a farce.

At the end of the hallway, two men with air guns were guarding the entrance with anxious faces.

Phew!

Kwajik!

Swing your arms briefly.

The great sword flew in a sharp curve and pierced the opponent who was standing there unawares.

“… … !!”

The startled colleague tried to aim his air gun in the direction the broadsword had come from.

widely!

But as soon as I threw it, I flew up and was already right in front of the bastard’s nose.

Phew!

Push the muzzle up.

Kwajik!

The lead bullet that was fired hit the ceiling helplessly, and at the same time the guy whose jaw was broken fell helplessly.

After dealing with the two in an instant, I retrieved the bloody greatsword and pushed the corpse back.

“Wh, what’s going on!”

“Gyaaaah!”

Director Kim and his secretary screamed as the body fell limply along with the door.

A wrinkled forehead, freckles as thick as greed, and a plump body that looks like a suit might burst.

You can tell at a glance that it’s Director Kim.

I was planning on quickly finishing up and leaving work, so I lightly threw down the greatsword I was holding.

Kwajik!

But at that moment, a man appears from the opposite door and grabs Director Kim and drags him away.

The greatsword flew in a straight line, missed by almost a sheet of paper and lodged itself in the other side.

The silence flows.

The man who suddenly appeared spoke in broken Korean while shaking the dust off his clothes.

“Please take care of yourself, sir.”

“Eek!”

At this, Director Kim screamed loudly and ran away to the office inside.

It’s my first time seeing your face.

Is that another bodyguard that Director Park was talking about?

He seemed to be a mercenary brought from the Philippines, but the aura he gave off was stronger than Director Park’s.

Sreung!

I pulled out the greatsword I had brought as a spare and began to observe the man calmly.

If I had known this would happen, I would have used my silencer ammo sparingly, but I used it up too quickly.

Crunch!

As I let out a deep sigh, the bodyguard drew his sword from his waistband as if he had been waiting for it.

The sword was not a knife or a sword, but a sharp kukri used by Gurkha mercenaries.

The guy who had closed the distance in an instant swung his kukri as if he was going to split my head open.

Phew!

At first I avoided it.

Bang!

However, the subsequent flying attacks could only be blocked with a greatsword.

Dismissed!

The force with which he swung his sword was so strong that the teeth on the blade broke off and sparks flew out.

Bang!

And by the time I had managed to block the third attack, I could no longer hold the greatsword and had to let it go.

At this, the bastard’s eyes flashed like an animal’s, and he made a loud noise and swung down his kukri.

widely!

I was aiming for this moment, so I ducked to avoid it and quickly rolled on the ground.

Crunch!

At the same time, he snatched the greatsword that had fallen and cut the bastard’s right thigh with a long cut.

Phew!

He has the upper hand in physical condition, strength, speed, and even weapon reach.

But I covered up the unfavorable conditions with my experience and easily balanced the weights.

Bam, bam!

A series of attacks, like a tidal wave, follow.

The guy is startled by the sudden change in momentum and desperately blocks the knife fight.

The persistent stabbing aimed only at vital points was enough to catch even the most seasoned mercenary off guard.

It’s eating away at me little by little.

It’s like cornering a wild boar.

“Eww!”

The man who sensed something was wrong screamed and swung his kukri.

But because the cut went deep into the thigh, it didn’t even lead to a valid hit.

Percussion!

I took a slight step back and caught my ragged breath with a chubby step.

I’m in great shape today, and my hand feeling great while holding the knife is at its best.

Thinking back to my active days, I still feel regretful, but I still don’t feel like I’m going to lose.

“… … Where are you from?”

“Just shut your mouth and come at me.”

I don’t understand why Director Park and these guys are so obsessed with his origins.

I skillfully brushed the blood off my greatsword and slowly began to close the distance.

Gulp.

But unlike his impulsive early days, he rolls his eyes as if he’s thinking about something.

It seems that he sensed that his opponent was serious from the way he came in while breaking his thigh.

The bleeding is increasing.

If we want to gain the upper hand here, we need to finish quickly, not waste time like we are doing now.

Whoa!

At that moment, the bastard grabbed the secretary’s hair, who was trying to run away slowly, and dragged her towards him.

And then he suddenly rushed towards me, pushing me as if he was trying to use me as a human shield.

‘Yeah, that’s right.’

If you roll around on this floor for a few years, you will experience all kinds of dirty tricks.

I half-expected his next move, so I quickly stepped back and threw the knife with all my might.

The target is neither the secretary nor the guy.

Right above our heads, there were glass decorations and lights shining brightly and uselessly.

Clang!

As the white light bursts, large and small shards of glass scatter in all directions.

The bodyguard and secretary underneath were suddenly hit by sharp shards of glass.

“Kwaaaaak!”

As if it had gotten into his eye, the bastard screamed terribly and grabbed his face.

I pushed the secretary who was in the way aside and leapt forward.

Woozikkun!

A flying knee kick to the face causes a shattering sound and blood to splatter.

Without stopping there, Kim Jin-kyung lightly continues with the weaving and combos she likes to use.

Phew, crunch!

Kwajik!

Jab, jab, pushes the face twice, then smashes the chin with a right and left hook.

“Ugh, ugh… … .”

The bastard staggered and shook his body, then his large body fell to the floor without a trace.

Crunch!

After I finished the clean confirmation kill, I picked up the kukri that had fallen on the floor.

And then, walking towards the room that Director Kim had run away to, the door was quietly opened.

Kwajik!

But the moment he grabs the handle and tries to turn it, a bullet goes through right next to his head.

I hurriedly hid my body to the side and carefully opened the door using only my left foot.

Phew!

Then another bullet passed right where I had just been standing.

“Oh, don’t come!”

Director Kim is trembling as he aims a six-shot air gun of unknown origin.

That’s a product that can’t be imported into Korea at all, so I’m really curious where you got it.

“Should I throw the gun away? It’s over anyway.”

“Don’t come here, you monster bastard!”

I tried to convince Director Kim, who had lost his mind, but he just kept yelling and shooting the air gun.

The sight makes me frown as it reminds me of a pig just before it is headed to the slaughterhouse.

Yeah, wait a minute.

How many steps did you just take?

Didn’t it go over 6 feet?

“Huh, huh?”

At that moment, Director Kim, who was firing an air gun, panics when the trigger won’t come off.

Beep!

Without missing that gap, I quickly whistled and summoned my strong partner.

Boom!

Coco, who had been waiting for this moment, runs towards me, steps on my shoulder, and jumps.

“Kwaaaaak!”

Director Kim, who was trying to reload in a hurry, gets his wrist bitten by a guy who flew in like a bullet.

You bullied my sister!

Coco bit the flesh with a really violent ferocity, as if she was taking revenge on her sister.

The loud screams gradually died down, and the man wearing the expensive suit became covered in blood.

“Don’t kill me.”

Hehe!

But when I step in and stop him, he stops moving as if nothing happened and steps back.

Fortunately, Director Kim, who was still breathing, trembled all over and pleaded.

“Ugh, ahhh… … Please, save me! It was my fault! I’ll be punished for what I did wrong! I, I apologize too! Huh? There was no need to go that far!”

The hem of his trousers, soaked with blood, snot and tears flowing down his face, is stained with yellow urine.

The arrogant man obsessed with power was gone, and only a pig remained.

“To whom?”

“Dr. Jang! I’ll apologize to Dr. Jang directly! Huh? I’ll go to the people below and kneel down, so please just spare my life!”

“No, who will punish me?”

“Th, what is that… … .”

Regretting what has already passed does not bring back the time that was lost.

Apologizing to those who are already dead does not bring the dead back to life.

That’s what repentance is.

Echoes of foolish evil deeds that are fleeting, meaningless, and of no use whatsoever no matter how many times they are repeated.

I wanted to believe that if there was a god, it would take the form of this sword.

I covered the mouth of Director Kim, who was crying, and left the will he was supposed to say on his behalf.

Crunch!

silence.

Be silent forever.

The last thing he has to do is to disappear like a grain of sand from people’s memories.

Krrrr!

After neatly cutting off the windpipe, I stood up and took out the walkie-talkie.

“The situation is over.”

A little later, when news of Director Kim’s death was reported, a huge cheer was heard from downstairs.

Then, the gang began to surrender one by one, and people finally came up to the fourth floor.

I walked down the hallway with Coco, the shouts coming from below playing as background music.

“Hyung, your skills aren’t dead yet, are they?”

Boom!

The old dog and the old agent, who had completed their mission, happily shared a cigarette and dog gum.

All the trash has been cleaned up.

Now all that’s left is to return to Seoul.
