Chapter 141 – Everybody Gather! #7

The Bomber’s jailbreak!

He was an atrocious criminal who made bombs with great power designed to commit terrible acts . It was a case that overturned the whole country . But the problem was what led to the breakout .

“Did you sense home?”

“……”

“Wah? Did you know? I’ll tell you the truth . You’re returning home in two hours, you really do have a homing instinct . ”

Yoo Cheol-ho glared at the investigator in charge of questioning him .

“Investigator-nim . Let’s be honest here since we know each other so well . Give me a pen and I will tell you who the leader that escaped with Kim Tae-sung is, and everything else you want to know . ”

The investigator clicked his tongue and muttered,

“Is it because you escaped from jail twice? Well, it is good that this will end quickly . ”

“Instead, I have one condition . ”

“What is it?”

“Once the investigation is finished, I want to be sent to another prison…”

“If you cooperate with the investigation, then I’ll see what I can do . ”

Thus, the whole truth behind the Red Phoenix escape was revealed by Yoo Cheol-ho . A groan emerged from the mouth of the investigator .

“Kuooooh… P-Phantom and the Bomber have joined hands . If the commissioner hears about this, then he will have a headache for a while . ”

“Yes, that’s right . This time, I didn’t break out because I wanted to . I was forced into it due to Phantom… Doesn’t Investigator-nim know about his tricks?”

Then the investigator laughed,

“Really? Then this is also fake?”

He pulled out the tape recorder that had Yoo Cheol-ho’s voice recorded on it . Yoo Cheol-ho’s eyes trembled as he saw it .

“P-Phantom has the ability to change his face and voice into me…”

“Really? Then I should discuss it with the warden . Anyway, I won’t forget what you told me and will talk to the warden . ”

What? Tell the warden?

Yoo Cheol-ho’s face turned white .

The tape recorder showed that he betrayed the warden . He would be dead if it entered the warden’s ears!

The newly appointed police commissioner, Chae Bum-ho, was eating in a high class Korean restaurant . There were delicacies such as abalone, sea bream sashimi, roasted eel, fresh roe, etc . Even so, Chae Bum-ho’s reaction wasn’t impressed .

A man in his 30s with a scary atmosphere was sitting in front of Chae Bum-ho .

“Yes, Mister Park . Did you get the job done?”

Mister Park put wasabi on top of the sea bream sashimi and said,

“Don’t worry . The evidence that Hyung-nim is related to us has been disposed of . ”

“Really? If that is so… You went through a lot of effort . ”

Chae Bum-ho’s stiff face became much softer . He grabbed his spoon and started to eat the rice .

Mister Park finished the sashimi and reached out for the grilled beef . The charcoal gave it a mouth-watering scent .

“The meat is very soft .

“I see . Eat a lot . ”

“Ah right, today Hyung-nim is a reborn person who has nothing to do with the Yakuza . Congratulations . Let’s have a drink . ”

Mister Park passed a cup of sake to Chae Bum-ho .

Their words were dangerous, but there was no need to worry about anyone overhearing . This was a place where large business executives and high ranking bureaucrats gathered . Thus, it was very strictly managed . Secret conversations shared over meals wouldn’t be leaked .

Chae Bum-ho and Mister Park drank the sake and smiled at each other .

“To the newly reborn Hyung-nim!”

Chae Bum-ho smiled in satisfaction .

With this, he could focus on catching Phantom without any worries . It hadn’t been exposed, but the Japanese Yakuza were already deeply embedded in South Korean society .

“Then I would like your help with Phantom, as well as in covering up the Taesung Group case . ”

“Kukukuk . Phantom doesn’t know how big of a group he has declared war against . Only the tip of the iceberg has been revealed . ”

Chae Bum-ho was the local police commissioner . He was credited for finishing a mysterious illness case and was considered a genius at taking opportunities when they arose . Although the Bomber had run amok, he was now in prison . That case wouldn’t be mentioned again .

“Please note that the research is proceeding safely . This is all thanks to Hyung-nim’s efforts . ”

“Yes . This time, pay more attention to managing the staff . ”

“Haha! Don’t worry . Sooner or later, I will use this face to enter the political arena . Then we can focus more on the research . ”

Chae Bum-ho smiled at Mister Park’s words .

“Then let’s talk about Phantom . ”

Mister Park replied with a smile .

“He is our enemy . What other explanation is needed? The organization will lend its full support . ”

“I heard from Kazuo hyung-nim . Sooner or later, a major Phantom extermination plan will be implemented . What? Working with criminals to catch criminals? I will let him know whose home he is playing in . ”

The Yakuza and police had a common goal to catch Phantom .

At that moment, a vibration was heard .

“Hyung-nim . Is that a message?”

“…I told them not to contact me while I was eating . ”

“There must be an important reason . You can check it out . ”

Chae Bum-ho looked at the screen of his phone and was at a loss for words .

“Hyung-nim?”

Mister Park got up and approached Chae Bum-ho, who had become like a stone statue . What the hell was going on?

He looked at Chae Bum-ho’s phone . It was written that Phantom was the ringleader who broke the Bomber out of Red Phoenix Prison .

“Hu, huhu, huhuhuhu…”

Chae Bum-ho chuckled in a low voice . Then he muttered in a small voice,

“You dared touch this area?! Yes, let’s do it Phantom . I will take it as a declaration of war . Yes . This is war . ”

The next day, the police changed their policy from cooperation with Phantom to catching him . Phantom absolutely had to be arrested . The police declared a war against the criminal Phantom .

In secluded rural village deep in the mountains of Gangwon Province was a place that tourists rarely ever visited .

It boasted only 20 households and even that number was gradually decreasing . However, there was a sudden boom a few years ago . A dozen or so robust men came to the area to do farming .

This was the first time .

In addition, the crops they brought were far more profitable than the ones previously grown . It was like gold was literally growing from the ground . It was delicious food for worms .

The village thoroughly restricted access of outsiders . The advantage was that people couldn’t enter the village unless they crossed a long bridge between two cliffs .

“Hwang-ssi! I heard that last month’s harvest was 2,000?”

“Huhu, it was 500 more than expected . It is because there was a lot of rain . ”

“But the crops are also very good this time . If this continues on, then we will be able to harvest more than usual . ”

“Haha . I didn’t know that barley would sell for such an expensive price . ”

The old man said this but he actually knew the truth . The crops being grown here were drugs . However, he learned that terrifying fact too late . The numbers written in the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation (NACF) account was growing and the village was becoming rich . He could ignore his conscience . He hadn’t been in touch with his family for several years . The village changing was exciting .

“Huhu, I am going out to work in the fields today…”

The old people followed behind the young people who came to town . However, the things they were carrying were strange . They were holding black rifles, not plows, or sickles . They were the escorts and watchdogs of the elderly .

As the elderly people arrived at the fields, they saw something red .

“W-What? T-That!”

“The fields are burning!”

“F-Fire!!!”

They dropped the farm equipment that they were carrying . The person holding the steering wheel of the tractor rushed out . The sight before their eyes was completely different .

The drug farm was burning like a bomb had gone off . In the middle was a white mask .

“A-A person?”

“H-How can he stand there without burning?!”

As the elderly people stared, the masked person disappeared like the wind . Only the mask he was wearing remained on the completely burnt fields .

A man with a gun muttered,

“Phantom…?!” (Japanese)

“P-Phantom…”

The monster with the mask disappeared like the wind after blowing away one of the Yakuza’s drug farms . Then the police sirens were belatedly heard in the secluded village .

@

Tang!

A man in a white suit and black sunglasses struck the table .

“W-What? 10 places have been hit in just a week?”

He was Kazuo Takeshi, the Yakuza member in charge of all of South Korea .

“I thought it was easy to manage the farms . What is Mister Park doing?”

He pressed the call button with an agitated face . Then a familiar voice was heard,

-I’m sorry Hyung-nim . We are doing our best, but we can’t even find a shadow…

“Does that make sense? What is Chae Bum-ho doing?”

-…… .

“A week . If you don’t catch that bastard in a week then it won’t end with just one finger . ”

–U-Understood .

Kazuo hung up and muttered,

“How could one bastard do so much damage?! Damn . ”

There was a nameplate reading ‘Park Il-bu, president of the Taesung Industries’ in front of his seat . (President is lower than chairman) . It was a lower title than what his men called him . However, he needed to hide his identity as a Yakuza member in South Korea .

“If the supplies are delayed then the research will be delayed, and our wish…”

It was at that moment . There was a flash, and the office where Kazuo was sitting in was hit with a huge explosion .

Kwa kwa .

Kwa kwa kwa kwang!

There was a huge thunder like sound in front of him . Kazuo died without feeling any pain .

Tae-hyuk watched the explosion from 500m away from the Taesung building and lamented .

“Ah, the timing was a little wrong . ”

He wanted to make a speech before pressing the detonation switch, but he had accidentally blown up the building before he could do so . It couldn’t be helped .

“Ah, I don’t know . ”

Tae-hyuk pointed at the burning building .

“Fire!”

It was a little late but he still felt good . He had destroyed the enemy’s base and their supplies . The only thing left was to deal with the remaining people .

“Now, my turn still isn’t over yet . ”

The Yakuza and police were looking for him at the same time .

Nevertheless, Phantom’s movements were unaffected . He was always one step ahead .

Tae-hyuk thoroughly destroyed the places run by the Yakuza .
