Episode 1517. This is a notification from the Ministry of the Interior and Safety’s Civil Defense Alarm Control Center!
Incheon Renaissance Hotel.
Executive Suite.
Gu In-hoe who was looking down at the night view of Incheon from the living room took out his cell phone.
After a few beeps the person on the other end answered the phone.
―….
“This is a recruiting party for a great master.”
The master is the title of Ma Tianyu the dragon head of the Hong Kong Red Lotus Bang.
He preferred to listen to the sound of the master rather than the widely known Yongdu or Sanju (山主).
―So are you still in Korea?
“Yes it’s in Incheon Chinatown.”
-What was it like when you met?
“I don’t know… yet.”
―You can’t tell even with your magic eyes. That’s fun.
“Seeing as there were no restrictions on the departure process it seems there is a way to avoid MDM (genetic mutation monitoring).”
China was banning mutants without family in the mainland from leaving the country.
However in the case of Yeon Jeok-ha he was classified as an ordinary person and left the country without incident.
It was not unreasonable for Gu In-hoe who handled Yeon Jeok-ha’s departure procedures to be mistaken.
―Have you found out why Mr. Yeon went to Korea?
“It looks like they are looking for someone or something.”
―If it were a person it would be the Yeon clan who lived in Seokgyeongjang… I wonder what the object is.
“I’ll figure it out.”
―Director Koo.
“yes.”
-Sooner or later the post-heavenly world will begin. The protagonists of the post-heavenly world are mutants. China probably knows that by blocking mutants from leaving the country. I’m probably not the only one with precognitive abilities. Mutation is an asymmetrical force comparable to nuclear weapons. Even between countries it goes without saying that there are underworld groups.
“yes.”
―Mr. Yeon is at least a level A mutant. No maybe it’s a special grade that goes beyond even that. This is your only chance to get your hands on him.
“I will do my best.”
―If what Mr. Yeon is looking for is a person recruit him. If it is an object get it before Mr. Yeon.
“…yes.”
When asked to steal rather than help Gu In-hoe responded a beat late.
Ma Cheon-wi added perhaps sensing Guinhoe’s hesitation.
―I’m not saying to be hostile towards Teacher Yeon. I want to paint a picture where you move quickly and we find what Mr. Yeon needs.
“yes.”
―If I succeed in this task I will give you the position of head of the division.
“I will do my best….”
Before I could finish speaking the phone was hung up.
Guinhoe let out a long sigh and turned his head out the window.
I understand what Macheonwi is aiming for.
He wants to take the lead in his relationship with Yeon Jeok-ha by getting his hands on the item first.
If everything goes well nothing can be better but what if things go wrong?
The relationship between Teacher Yeon and Hongryeonbang which had been good until now was about to go down the drain.
“Tsk! “I heard the master likes things that are too dramatic.”
You can maintain a good relationship by just staying quiet but he insists on putting you in debt.
Of course I can’t say anything because that’s the Triad’s way of handling things.
Rather since his position as head of the division is at stake he has to do his best.
“What is Mr. Yeon looking for?”
Gu In-hoe’s eyes became heavy as he looked down at the night view of Incheon.
***
Juan-dong Incheon.
When morning came four people sat across from each other at the table.
Except for Yeon Si-woo who went to school early Yeon Jeong-woon and his wife Yeon Seo-yeon and Yeon Jeong-ha.
As the meal was coming to an end Yeon Seoyeon asked Yeon Jeongwoon.
“Dad how long will this person stay at our house?”
“This person is my cousin.”
“Oh yes that’s right. How long is he going to stay at our house?”
“I don’t know.”
“Yeah? Why don’t you know? “Don’t you have to decide in advance when you bring someone with you?”
“I was so happy that I just decided to go to the hotel…”
Yeon Jeongwoon trailed off.
Last night I was so intoxicated by the atmosphere that I almost dragged someone to the hotel.
After hearing her daughter say ‘Oops!’ I would like to.
I felt like I had left something out but now I see that the period was not set.
When Chinese people meet people from their hometown abroad it is ingrained in them to treat them like family.
Even more so they deserve to be treated more closely than the people from their hometown with whom they share a close relationship.
Even so it was a mistake not to set a deadline.
Yeon Jeok-ha who thought he was talking about himself quietly intervened.
“Uncle what’s going on?”
“I’m asking how long you’ll be staying at my house. “I said I didn’t know either.”
“ah….”
Yeonjeokha looked at Yeonjeongwoon with new eyes.
Normally he would give up on difficult questions but he was surprisingly honest.
When his cousin stared at him he said with an embarrassed look on his face.
“I want to stay at my uncle’s house for a while and learn Korean. While staying here… I will pay hotel rates for accommodation. I think I can learn Korean faster if I stay at my uncle’s house. If you have a lot of money you don’t have to worry about paying for accommodation. Rather I think you should accept it so I can stay at peace. Please discuss this with your family and give us an answer.”
Yeon Jeong-un interpreted Yeon Jeok-ha’s words on the spot.
Yeon Jeong-un’s wife readily accepted.
There was an empty room and all that was needed was one more spoon.
Since business had not been going well recently and there was no income I welcomed him with open arms.
Yeon Jeong-woon asked his daughter who had an ambiguous expression.
“Seoyeon what about you?”
“As long as she likes her mother that’s fine. “She asked because I was afraid her mom would be uncomfortable.”
Yeon Jeong-woon who nodded his head as if he understood spoke to Yeon Jeok-ha.
“The family is all in favor. But let’s think about offering to pay the same amount as the hotel cost. “If someone else takes it like that I’m a thief.”
“Uncle it’s okay. You have to accept that much so that I can stay comfortably. And if I get paid a lot for accommodation shouldn’t I be able to think about leaving as soon as possible? If I receive less I may be able to hold out until Junwoo is discharged.”
“Oh really? After listening I think I should do as you said. ha ha ha!”
Soon Yeon Jeong-un told what Yeon Jeok-ha said to his wife and daughter who looked at him with puzzled faces.
Only then did smiles appear on the faces of Yeon Jeong-woon’s wife and daughter.
After finishing the meal Yeon Jeong-woon spoke to her daughter.
“Please take the time to help him register for the academy.”
“I will. Songdo International University’s Korean language school would be better than an academy. The semester starts in March so if you do well you might be able to take it. “If you don’t accept me after the application period I’ll look for an academy then.”
“You can take care of that. Applications should have ended when the semester starts in March… Go check it out today. “Because it’s not someone else’s business it’s my cousin’s.”
“Yes can I go with you Mr. Jeokha?”
“What is Mr. Jeokha? Just tell them to do it. “We will be living in the same house for a while so we need to adapt quickly.”
“Yes yes. Just say something to your enemy. “Follow me later to look for an academy.”
As Yeonjeongwoon interpreted his daughter’s words Yeonjeokha nodded his head vigorously.
This is because he also wanted to quickly adapt to life in Korea.
Around 10 am.
I left home with my older cousin Yeon Seo-yeon.
Seo-yeon Yeon turned on the simultaneous interpretation function on her cell phone then held it close to her mouth and spoke.
“I’m the older sister so I’ll let it go. Are you okay?”
What she said came out of her cell phone in Chinese.
“yes.”
“Are you still living in China?”
“yes.”
“So is this your first time abroad?”
“yes.”
“What did you do in China?”
Yeon Seo-yeon casually asked a question that could be sensitive to her.
Yeon Jeok-ha thought for a moment and answered.
“I ran a lodging business for a while.”
“Oh! hotel?”
“no. “It’s more like a motel or inn.”
“For all that he seems rich right? “I heard you said you would pay the same amount as the hotel fee while you stay at my house?”
“I had some possessions here and there.”
This was said with the merchants who helped the emperor in the past in mind.
“Oh! Ancestor’s chance!”
“What is Chance?”
“You don’t know English? opportunity. “I raised my ancestors well.”
“aha.”
Yeon Jeok-ha laughed awkwardly.
It made her feel strange hearing such things from her descendants.
At that time a strange scene suddenly caught Yeon Jeok-ha’s eyes.
A police officer in uniform stopped a man with long bones and hit him with a black pad.
When he looked at me with strange eyes Yeon Seo-yeon spoke as if explaining.
“The mutant registration period has ended. That’s why people who look like mutants are being randomly searched. “I heard that mutation registration is more stringent in China but don’t they do inspections on the street?”
“Ah in China if you don’t register your mutation the fine is as much as 100000 yuan (about 18 million won). “Nobody is unregistered.”
“After all China! In Korea if you get caught the fine is less than 100000 won. So there are a lot of people who hold out and watch. So I try to find it in that way.”
“They say Korea has weak fines and that’s true.”
“Do you think only fines are mild? Judges are more generous. Even if you are caught using drugs you will be disciplined. That’s why they say it’s a criminal’s paradise. “If you get caught doing something bad in a foreign country you’ll beg to be sent back to Korea.”
“That much?”
“After a while you won’t want to go back to China right?”
“Do I look like such a bad person?”
“That’s what it says. Look look at that mutant guy. “They grab the police by the collar and lift them up.”
Yeon Jeok-ha who was turning his head to Yeon Seo-yeon’s words opened his eyes wide.
A man eight feet tall (approximately 2 meters 40 centimeters) was lifting a police officer with one hand.
“Can I do that?”
“Are you sure?”
It’s just as she said.
The police officers nearby swarmed like bees and surrounded the tall man.
The police fired a Taser but the tall man was unharmed.
Instead he laughed out loud and threw the police officer he was holding on the floor.
The police officer who was thrown from a height of about 3 meters did not move as if he had lost consciousness.
When Yeon Seo-yeon saw that she trembled and said.
“Mutations are scary. That police officer must have been seriously injured…”
“Why don’t you shoot?”
“If you shoot a gun civic groups will make an uproar saying you fired a gun. Then the police chief or the person in charge of the field becomes distressed. “Apologise to the public write a letter of apology and take disciplinary action… Instead you just use your body like that.”
“Is someone going to die if I do that?”
“I can’t help it. You said it was a criminal’s paradise. “If you shoot someone who doesn’t have a weapon you’ll go to hell.”
“The very existence of mutations is a weapon isn’t it?”
“Still in Korea protecting the human rights of criminals is the top priority. The climate in the legal profession is such that there is nothing we can do about it. oh my! Another person was caught.”
The tall man lifted the police officer who had been caught by lightning above his head.
“Put it down!”
“Stop it!”
“teacher! “You must not throw it!”
The police shouted but he cursed and threw the police officer he was holding away.
The body of the police officer who flew and collided with the wall started convulsing.
One of the younger police officers pulled out a pistol and shouted.
“Stop! You bastard! If you move I’ll shoot!”
“Shoot! Shoot! You idiot! Do you know how to shoot? Kkkkkkkk! If you follow me you will be defeated! “You bastards!”
The large man suddenly turned around and ran towards Singi Market.
An angry police officer fired a blank bullet into the air.
bang!
Citizens startled by the sound of gunshots began to scream and run in all directions.
That’s it.
Ahhhhh!
A siren sound loud enough to make one’s heart sink shook the city of Incheon.
“What is this again?”
“Is it war?”
“Civil defense? “I didn’t say anything about it?”
The moment the fleeing citizens stopped the sound coming from the loudspeaker covered the street.
