chapter 6
“What are we going to do?!”
Blood dripped from Scott’s neck.
“Get my laptop right now! Does it make sense to condone breaking down and stealing the door?”
Beneath his raised voice, Jake answered briefly.
“An investigation request came in.”
“Don’t talk sh*t! You should have told me to give it to you! How could you break down the door and get in? You really want to try it?!”
Jake had no other excuse for that.
I didn’t know when Kang-tae brought the laptop, but when I went later, he broke the doorknob and brought it out.
Soon Jake’s mouth opened.
“I found out later that I was broken too… Wait for the results, Scott.”
“so why?! What did I do?”
“There was a bad report.”
“Report? What report?”
“It’s hard to say more. But I trust you, Scott.”
“You believe? Do you believe in such a ridiculous investigation? Play with words in moderation, damn it!”
“I’m waiting because I believe in you.”
At the end of Jake’s words, which had been answering calmly, weight was added before he knew it.
It was an intimidating voice.
Scott, whose face turned red and blue, hesitated.
That was right. Jake was not the kind of person to be so calm with a distrustful person, a person who shouts in excitement.
He must have smashed his face first with his rocky fist.
I saw it when I was in Delta Force. There were also terrifying rumors about it.
The current Jake has only limited actions due to his responsibility as a team leader, but he was fiercer and more powerful than anyone else in G&G Corp.
Scott, who let out a long snort, also came to his senses belatedly. Eventually, the voice automatically went down a tone.
“… When did you take it?”
“How many hours has it been? I brought it right after you went out.”
“… … !”
Scott’s eyes widened. The twinges almost came out of my mouth again.
It had been almost half a day before he had gone out.
I don’t know what kind of investigation he conducted, but he didn’t know that the crime he had committed would have been discovered in that amount of time.
Internal Data Leakage.
Of course, I deleted every e-mail and didn’t leave any related data, but it didn’t feel good.
That’s how things went back.
‘You must know something, I don’t know how you know… … .’
Matching the timing he went out, he pulled out the locked doorknob and entered the room and took out only his laptop.
It was something with a clear purpose.
Scott, who was embarrassed, opened his mouth half a beat late.
“… Who the hell is that?”
“I’ll tell you when the investigation is finished, so stay in your room. It won’t take that long.”
“Are you trying to detain me?”
“That’s not it, Scott. Do what is comfortable for you.”
said Jake calmly.
It was sincere.
Jake trusted Scott as much as Kang-tae was confident enough to break the doorknob and bring the laptop.
It was he who invited Scott, who had gone through life and death in Delta Force, to become a mercenary in G&G Corp. It was because he was capable enough and was a trustworthy person.
‘… I hope all of this is happening.’
While Jake thought so, Scott turned around.
He was not a person to dream of even if he appealed. Moreover, the risk of information leakage being discovered is imminent.
I got out of Charlie’s team’s container, but there was nowhere to go.
‘… Should I run away?’
Possibly, but you will be wanted and live as a fugitive for the rest of your life. It was clear that it would be impossible to return to the United States, and that it would be difficult to live properly even if smuggled into a country like Europe.
It would be difficult to properly use the virtual currency that he had accumulated while working as a mercenary and the wealth he had accumulated through information leaks.
‘But if everything gets caught like this… … .’
His mind began to work out possible numbers.
There would be legal proceedings in the future. It was natural that he couldn’t use his wealth, and there was a high possibility that he would end up using the dump until Luke’s death.
Maybe something like murder.
Scott lifted his lowered head slowly.
‘I can’t even be guilty of murder. I was going to earn a few more months and then wash my hands, but f*ck… … .’
It didn’t take long before a conclusion was reached.
‘Float here, as soon as possible.’
As he recalled the things he needed to pack, he entered his container with a broken doorknob.
And it was time to take out the pistol, bullets, and cash in a hurry.
“Deputy chief? What are you so busy taking care of?”
Kang Tae appeared.
Kangtae, who pushed the door open and looked around, smiled.
“You bespectacled traitor bastard.”
“… What, what?!”
The sudden and completely unexpected words froze Scott.
“You want to bounce? Hey, it’s almost the same as a game.”
In many of the options he played, Scott never readily admitted guilt, rebelled, and tried to run away.
Each time, it was Scott who was killed, maimed, or arrested by force.
That situation is now happening again.
“Get your hands off the pistol.”
Swoop.
Kangtae, who took out his Glock 19 before he knew it, pointed it at Scott and continued.
“Stay quiet.”
“you… Are you crazy? aim at me I’m serious?”
“So you think I’m kidding?”
“I am your deputy team leader! Wake up, you crazy bastard!”
“Oh, you want to take a picture by rank?”
“What are you doing… … .”
Scott’s eyes widened as he spoke.
It was the timing when Kang-tae came, and it was because it was so natural for him to aim the gun as if he had waited.
At the end, one conclusion was drawn.
“no way… Was it you who took the laptop?”
“I have notice.”
“You are… … !”
The moment Scott, overcome with rage, was about to attack.
bang-!
A booming sound rang out. At the same time, Scott, who was about to stand up, sat down.
The bullet hit the shin. The cargo pants burst and blood spurted out on the bedroom floor.
“Ahh! This crazy bastard… Are you really shooting me?!”
“What can’t you shoot, you renegade man with glasses. Should I be merciful to the guy who sold my information for coins?”
The moment Kang-tae answered calmly, Scott’s eyes widened.
“Well, how do you… … ?”
In an instant, the pain and anger that had been filling up were gone.
Obviously no one knew, except for Scott himself and the person who bought the information.
Scott’s eyes were busy rolling.
‘no way… Did that bastard sell me out? No, it can’t be… … .’
While Kang-tae smiled, the door burst open.
“what’s the matter?!”
He heard gunshots and his team members rushed in.
It was Marcus and Jose with assault rifles.
“Down the gun! lee!”
“Isn’t that room Scott’s room? Did you really shoot Scott?”
It was when the two voiced their voices one after another.
“Marcus, Jose, put down the gun.”
Jake appeared.
And the moment when Marcus and Jose, like soldiers, tried to question him without taking their eyes off Kang-tae.
Jake’s mouth opened again.
“I have proof that Scott is a traitor.”
“yes? I beg your pardon?”
“He might have killed Luke, so take the gun down. They must be arrested immediately.”
* * *
The situation is settled.
Scott, who suffered a gunshot wound, was taken away and began to undergo treatment and interrogation, and I, who had fired a gun without permission, was quarantined in my bedroom.
Three or four hours passed like that, and it was around bedtime.
smart.
There was a knock that hadn’t been heard before, and the door burst open from the outside.
It was Jake who had accompanied Rachel.
“Lee, I want to go with you.”
“Alright, chief. I was bored anyway.”
I was just getting tired of doing bare-body exercises in my room.
Of course, I was happy that my sore knee was fine and that my stomach had become strong abs, but I was less happy because I had confirmed that on the first day. It was like my original body now. To put it into perspective, the only difference was my height, but my body was similar to that of 10 years ago.
It was after I picked up my coat and followed Jake.
Rachel, who was still quiet, opened her mouth.
“Lee, Scott says he never confided to you like that while drunk, and he wasn’t even that drunk. What do you think of this?”
That was right.
Scott and I drank alone, but we weren’t drunk, and we didn’t talk about anything else.
That time was very short.
But there was no need to talk about it as it is. Because I also created the situation by rolling my head.
“It is men who say that they were not drunk even when they were drunk. I couldn’t remember, or I must have been embarrassed.”
“Scott rather called you, saying how the hell did you know.”
“Then are you going to meet me now?”
“Yes, I made sure to bring you.”
“Okay, what.”
There was nothing to complain about.
The evidence is revealed anyway, and Scott’s credibility as a traitor has hit rock bottom.
I walked confidently and entered the container office.
After briefly greeting Ron, the head of G&G Corp’s Southwest Asia branch, and the stern-looking high-ranking mercenaries, he sat face-to-face with Scott, whose arms were bound.
The look was spectacle.
Instead of being treated, it looked like an extra beating. The blood vessels in his eyeballs burst, and his cheeks turned red.
Still, like a mercenary from Delta Force, his eyeballs seemed to glow with poison.
As soon as I arrived, Scott reacted.
“you! How the hell did you know? Did he tell you? uh?”
“Who are you talking about?”
“Volkov.”
It was a slightly delayed answer.
And it was a name I knew well.
Sergey Volkov.
True to his name, he was a terrorist from Russia and one of the villains of Lareple.
And Jake and Rachel, criminals the U.S. government is after.
It was not too late to answer this.
“Volkov? is that a person’s name? Which me? russia?”
“Don’t pretend you don’t know, just tell me! Did that bastard abandon me? Did I say it was worth my use? ok?! Say it, you bastard!”
“Huh? Look at the saliva splashing. This sounds like a confession, should I listen to it more?”
He looked back at the people standing with their arms crossed and said.
In the meantime, Scott shouted as if in a fit of fuss.
“Answer me, you son of a b*tch! If this is the case, I can blow it all up!”
Bloody saliva splattered again.
As I sneaked back as if to avoid it, I heard Jake’s voice from behind.
“… no, you can go lee.”
It was a word with closed teeth, as if holding back the boiling emotions.
I also got up without a murmur.
I dealt with Scott more easily and quickly than I thought. It was satisfactory. There were also additional achievements.
His name is Sergei Volkov.
It is a mid-boss character that will appear in the future, and it is a villain that must be eliminated as vicious and powerful.
But there was something else important.
It was the fact that he was the right-hand man of Pikal, the main villain who would start a nuclear war.
