Chapter 134

Chapter 134 – Traces of the Mask #4

Anne bit her lip as she recalled what she had just seen . It was an unbelievable sight .

Caterina had once mobilized an elite crew for an assassination . They were those who could fight against the soldiers of other countries .

However, a similar number was now wiped out by only one person . He was also only armed with a submachine gun and a pistol . The mafia members had an anti-tank rocket and sniper rifles that boasted a range of 1000m .

Phantom alone had taken out 30 people . It was a difference that she thought couldn’t be overcome . Phantom had fired his gun without even aiming . However, the result was amazing . The RPG-7 exploded, and the sniper with the PSG-1 had his head explode .

“T-This is ridiculous . How can you snipe a sniper with a submachine gun?”

Phantom scratched his head as Anne made a fuss . It was a feat that was possible due to the Shooting Spree skill . He had no answer for how he did it .

“I just did it?”

“……”

Anne’s answer was a low moan . Then her butler appeared behind her . It was Semon who had gone around the battlefield to see if there was any more danger .

“Young Lady . The enemy has been wiped out, even the snipers waiting at a distance . ”

There were more snipers than the one that Anne saw . Anne looked at the man wearing the opera mask . He didn’t have any wounds despite dealing with so many people alone .

Rather, he seemed hungry as he watched his work .

Anne nodded a few times, like she had made up her mind, before speaking .

“Phantom…I followed the traces of the mask . As I said, I was going to use you to deal with the Yakuza and the Triads . Of course, I am going to pay you for your abilities . ”

“Well, don’t you know me very well despite just meeting today?”

Anne laughed at his words .

“I have more spies in the police than just art appraisers . I can’t tell you their identities, but I was able to learn about you through them . ”

“What, there are more spies in the police? Aigoo . There might even be spies among Mister Park’s group . ”

“I won’t deny it . At any rate, your abilities are more than what Mister said . I honestly wouldn’t have believed it if I didn’t see it with my own eyes . ”

It was because he had just gotten the Shooting Spree skill . Phantom smirked . It was a fact that his crime skills were still growing .

“Once today’s incident reaches the ears of the Yakuza or the Triads, they will try to set you on fire . Originally, I intended to promise you the boss seat of the Korean branch . But any other organization can offer that, so I can only offer one more thing . ”

Anne looked at the Phantom with a slightly red face .

The person behind the opera mask was definitely a man . Among the Red Mafia, the Yakuza, and the Triads, she was the only female boss . That’s why only she could offer this .

“I will give you all of the Red Mafia . Could you please marry me?”

“…Wait . Is that a proposal?!”

The other person was the boss of the Ivankov family . He knew what it meant to marry her . It wasn’t just the boss of South Korea, but ruling over all of the Red Mafia .

“Fortunately, I am still in my 20s and still haven’t been married . In addition, I think I am fairly beautiful . ”

“20s…?”

“Yes, I am 29 . ”

“……”

Phantom…

No, Tae-hyuk gulped . Although he tried to be as calm as possible, he was several times more nervous than when he was fighting the mafia . He never thought he would receive a proposal from a woman more than 10 years older than him .

‘I thought she was around the same age as Noona, but she is five years older?!’

She was beautiful enough to become a model right now . Furthermore, she would bring along the Red Mafia .

“If your answer is a yes, can you take off the mask?”

At that moment, Tae-hyuk’s spirit recovered .

Anne proposed to Phantom, not Seo Tae-hyuk . In order to protect his precious ones, this line couldn’t be crossed no matter what .

As Phantom seemed to hesitate, Anne moved closer .

“Perhaps you already have someone in mind? First place is good, but I can be satisfied with being the second . ”

“Cough . That isn’t the problem . And I’m sorry, but can you back away a little bit?”

“Do you not like me?”

It wasn’t unpleasant to marry a beauty like Anne . However, problems would arise after accepting .

“…At any rate, I will accept half of Anne’s offer . First, I will deal with the Yakuza and the Triads . However, I will be doing it by myself, and will not be working with the Red Mafia . Of course, I’ll be happy if you provide weapons . ”

“Hrmm… then are you rejecting my proposal? My appearance…”

“No, don’t you think it is too fast to marry someone after only meeting them for one day?”

Anne clapped in pleasure .

“Then it isn’t a refusal? Shall we date first? It is okay if you don’t want to show my your face . It is like a real phantom so I don’t think it is bad .

Tae-hyuk couldn’t help sighing . It seemed like the number of females around him who gave him headaches had increased .

“First of all, let’s leave this place . The police will soon come swarming . ”

“My car… Oh my . The anti-tank rocket destroyed it . ”

It was probably to prevent any escape . Tae-hyuk scratched his head and replied,

“I already stole cash from the mafia . Let’s try Vehicle Theft . ”

As Tae-hyuk touched it, the truck started up without the car keys .

Anne clapped in amazement . It seemed like she wouldn’t have to worry about catching a taxi on the honeymoon .

Shin Se-ho, the chief of ABS Broadcasting, opened his eyes as a familiar voice was heard over the phone .

“…P-Phantom!”

-It has been a while . Have you recovered from your injuries?

“Ha, ha, ha! Yes, of course . Thank you for saving my life . I thought you forgot our promise because you haven’t contacted me in a while . ”

Shin Se-ho had a deal with Phantom . If he wanted to broadcast something then he would release it only through Shin Se-ho . Shin Se-ho was an ambitious person and didn’t miss the opportunity that Phantom gave him . In the end, he was promoted from being a PD at ABS . Since then, he acted like he was Phantom’s good friend .

–I’ve been away for a while now, so I think I need a big hit .

Shin Se-ho’s hands shook .

Just Phantom alone would cause the audience ratings to skyrocket .

But a big hit? It was a word that Phantom never said despite several broadcasts .

“T-Thank you . I’m sorry but can you give me a quick hint? I would like it to be a dramatic story like the organ trafficking…”

A laugh was heard from the phone .

–Did you know that China’s Triads were behind that situation?

“O-Of course . Due to that, fan clubs were created for Phantom . Then this story…”

Destroying the Chinese criminals that the police couldn’t catch . The public was enthusiastic about the appearance of the criminal who judges criminals . But what about it?

–A few days ago, I was bored and smashed a cult .

He knew about that .

“Ah! Are you talking about the Sun group? The scoop was sent to our station . That was Phantom’s work?”

–Yes . By the way, the Japanese Yakuza were involved .

“Ah…is that so?”

Shin Se-ho’s eyes shone . He had his scoop for the evening .

–The Triads and the Yakuza . Do they think that they could act as they like in South Korea? So I thought I would give them a warning .

“……!”

In other words, he was talking about war . It was a big hit since he was targeting criminal organizations from other countries that were active in Korea .

H-H-Huge scoop .

–Of course, I’m sure that you will do well, but I want to specifically direct this . And make sure the video is registered on the UCC site so that people around the world can see it . ABS Station can have the advertising fees as long as it is spread as much as possible . How about it?

“O-Of course . ”

Phantom had only done four broadcasts, but they had earned billions of won worth of advertising revenue . But the scale this time was completely different . Phantom had declared war . The contents were provocative enough to get the public excited .

It would be tens of billions of won . Even if he only took 10% of this…

Shin Se-ho mind thought of a foreign car that he had been noticed for ages . It was more than 250 million, so he had been hesitating . Now it wouldn’t be hard to buy it with a lump sum .

The screen slowly brightened and showed the terrible scene of the ‘Doll Play’ incident caused by the Chinese Triads . Then the killer Big Brother murdering innocent Koreans with a gun was reenacted by actors . Finally, the terrible images of children becoming addicted to drugs were shown .

A voice narration flowed over it .

“They came to South Korea to commit crimes that they couldn’t do in their own country . ”

The screen changed . It was the Death Circus, where people had to kill someone else to live . Then the fanatics from cults were shown .

“To them, we are just toys that can be played with . ”

The narrator took a breath that allowed the viewers to focus on the images of the brutal crimes .

At that moment, the screen cracked . No, it looked like it was broken . Something white started to emerge on the black screen . It was the now familiar Phantom mask .

The voice narration stopped and music started playing . Beethoven’s Symphony No . 3, Heroic . It was the climax, causing an excited atmosphere .

Phantom spoke .

“Everybody, I am sad . Before I knew it, this land has been filled with crimes committed by the Yakuza and the Triads . I remember the tragedy of T Medical Centre . They kidnapped the children and took their lives for their organs . That is why I punished them . Remember the case of the Chinese killer? He threatened me by holding innocent civilians hostage, so I judged him . However, the crimes by the mafia are still occurring . That is why I will give an order as Phantom . Leave this country right now . If you ignore the warning and invade my area— . ”

Phantom paused for a moment .

The screen turned black . It faded out . Soon, the music changed to Beethoven’s piano sonata No . 2 . And a phrase that would be remembered for a long time was heard .

“— I will punish them!”

The melody quieted while the people watching became excited . The public started to pay attention to the movements of the criminal Phantom who judged other criminals .

-Did you see Phantom’s video? It has already surpassed three million views on YouTube .

-Soy milk Phantom?

–I’ve watched it over 100 times, and I had to change my panties three times .

–Isn’t it very Korean? We no longer have any imports, so we are now importing criminals .

–Brothers, would you like to use this opportunity to change from a Hahoe mask to a phantom mask? Isn’t a true Hallyu star born? ㅇ ㅇ ㅇ ㅈ! Phantom!

–I will smile as the Yakuza and the Triads get what is coming to them .

The video of Phantom was uploaded to video sites and recorded millions of views in a single day .

Of course, among them…
