Chapter 154 – End of the Revenge #1

Wolsang was a research institute specializing in particle physics .

The task that they were focusing on now was a new energy development project that could potentially be several times more efficient than fossil fuels . If it succeeded, all the researchers who participated would be able to win the Nobel Prize in physics .

‘The looks in their eyes are ridiculous . Besides, isn’t that a particle accelerator?’

It was a device that boasted a huge price, but there was a lot of dust piled up on it . It meant it hadn’t been used for research in a while .

A researcher was sitting on a desk and seemed to be writing a report with an annoyed expression .

‘It is typical of a research institute with no money . ’

In any case, the situation of the Wolsang Institute didn’t seem that great .

‘Certainly, this seems more difficult than robotics or developing a new material . ’

There seemed to be a lot of empty chairs, indicating that the management of this institute wasn’t so good . Great achievements required a lot of money, but if there weren’t any results, then they wouldn’t get any investments .

It was literally a Mobius strip .

“Ah! Director Go Ah-tae! Hello, it is Ha-ran . ”

Ha-ran said with a smile and the man sitting in the corner lifted his head . The ramyun noodles cups piled up on his desk indicated how long he had been here .

He had a beard from not shaving for a few days . The skinny body also indicated the time spent here . Was he around 40 years old? He was fairly young for a director . He also didn’t have a separate office, working in the same space as the other researchers .

“Ha-ran? Ah, please wait a moment . I’ll bring some drinks . ”

Go Ah-tae headed to the refreshments room with a friendly smile . He swayed strangely like he was ill .

“Haha! I ran out of coffee . Sorry but this…”

Go Ah-tae brought out cups containing cold water . There wasn’t a trap so he held all three cups in his hands with an anxious expression .

“Help yourselves . ”

“Wah! I am thirsty . I’ll drink it well . ”

Go Ah-tae had heard about Tae-hyuk through Ha-ran .

“Are you Seo Tae-hyuk? I’ve heard a lot about you from Ha-ran . Nice to meet you, I am Go Ah-tae, the director of this institute . ”

“I am Seo Tae-hyuk . ”

Tae-hyuk secretly used Spying to check his status window . Stamina was almost zero, but his intelligence was enormous . Furthermore, he had a profession other than the director of a research institute .

‘Isn’t this quite surprising? Fortunately, there aren’t any problems . ’

Tae-hyuk analyzed the situation of the research institute . The facility had received a good amount of investments, so the equipment was good . It was comparable to places like the European particle physics institutes . But the companies that invested in these type of places were in a rush, so if no visible results were shown, then they would withdraw themselves from the project .

This situation was just like that . The researchers moved to other places and this was what remained . The director was somehow leading the project by himself, but it seemed like there was a limit . It was just before the sinking of the ship .

‘He had a reason to invest in Noona . It is a situation where he even needs to borrow the hands of university students . ’

Still, it seemed like there would be a lot to learn from working under such an enthusiastic director . It was enough if Ha-ran was satisfied . If it was money then he would soon be able to earn a big amount anyway .

‘Yes, help the Bomber get revenge and then go find the gold . Most of the Yakuza in Korea are returning to Japan so this is a great opportunity . And the remaining ones are probably…’

As Tae-hyuk smiled, Go Ah-tae asked him .

“I think that Tae-hyuk’s mind is very good . Do you want to make something like a black hole?’

“…I’m sorry but I have to go to university . ”

“T-That’s right . If you change your mind then here is my contact number…”

After spending an hour talking, Go Ah-tae had another appointment . He had to go to another research institute for assistance . Even though he seemed quite busy, he still called them there to talk .

Director Go Ah-tae’s expectations for Ha-ran seemed quite big .

Tae-hyuk turned to the Bomber sitting in the back seat of a stolen Mercedes and asked .

“Can you artificially create a black hole?”

“It is impossible with the current technology . Won’t it be hard unless the Higgs Particle is discovered?”

“Indeed . ”

“But why are you asking about such a thing?”

“Ah, it is nothing . Just a personal matter . ”

The Bomber laughed and checked the bombs filling the back seat . They were enough to blow up the entire Taesung Chemicals research institute .

“By the way, I didn’t know that the perpetrator of the disease was Direct Jang Ik-sam . ”

“Do you know him?”

“Not really . I just thought that he was a good person . Yet my family… K-Kuheok!”

The Bomber bit his lip and suppressed his anger . He formed tight fists and said,

“Please let me handle Director Jang Ik-sam with my own hands . ”

“I was already planning on that . ”

Tae-hyuk parked 500m away from the Taesung Institute of Physics and Chemistry . Then he pulled out a large map . Last night, he had gone to the destination and used Spying . This was the result .

“This is a blueprint of Taesung Institute . The bombs will be installed in the places shown here . If they explode at the same time, then we can blow up the entire institute . ”

“Yes, I understand . Then this place with the O mark is…”

“The director’s room is there . Do you understand what I mean?”

“Thank you for keeping your promise, Phantom . ”

The Bomber memorized the locations of the bombs .

“Let me explain an outline of the operation . Currently, the Taesung Institute had a huge increase in the number of guards . I will go into the institute first and deal with them while you install the bombs in the specified points . After that is done, go to the room where Jang Ik-sam . Do you know what to do after that?”

“…Of course . ”

“What weapon do you want?”

The Bomber picked out a pistol from the weapons in the car .

“Can you shoot it?”

“Haha . I also went to the army . ”

“Well . This should be fine . ”

The Bomber confirmed that there were six bullets in the magazine and placed it in his pocket . This would be enough to take care of Jang Ik-sam . Tae-hyuk nodded and started walking silently in the darkness .

The Bomber followed quietly with a heavy bag .

‘This is truly the end of my previous life . The Psychotropic Incense is really important so Mister Park has kept it all in the institute and guarded by Yakuza members . I can change my fate if I take care of this . ’

Mister Park was also in the laboratory . Tae-hyuk had been falsely framed thanks to Mister Park .

Jang Ik-sam had killed the Bomber’s family .

‘Whoops, I almost forgot . After this, should I go and buy a wedding gift for Noona?’

Seo Ha-ran and Cho Kang-suk’s wedding ceremony was taking place next week . Tae-hyuk moved through the darkness as he thought about what to buy his sister .

And after a while…

The operation to break his ties with Mister Park began .

@

The Taesung Institute of Physics and Chemistry was in the research complex until a year ago . After public opinion turned against them for the mass killing event, the location was moved to a secret place .

It was right here . Tae-hyuk looked at the research institute in front of him . It seemed like there was nothing inside . However, that was just a camouflage to conceal the identity . The Taesung Institute of Physics and Chemistry was hiding underground .

Tae-hyuk placed his hand on the wall and triggered ‘Spying’ . Then he was able to see how many people were hiding in the building . As if it had been waiting, the Demon Revealing Mirror assigned him a mission .

[Kill Mister Park and the Yakuza members .

The remaining number of Yakuza members: 117]

This was the first time it said to kill the opponents . He wasn’t planning to keep them alive anyway so he decided to follow the Demon Revealing Mirror’s mission . After receiving the mission, he could see the targets on the map .

In front of Tae-hyuk’s eyes, the map of the research institute appeared like a hologram . The red dots were shining brightly . They were the Yakuza members guarding the institute .

“The Psychotropic Incense is really important . Aren’t most of the Yakuza members remaining in South Korea?”

Of course, there were other remnants left . However, most of the people who could fight were gathered here .

“It means that if I get rid of them, the ones who will interfere with my treasure hunt will also disappear . It is good luck . ”

Tae-hyuk licked his lips . It tasted oddly of blood .

“Then let’s go . ”

The Bomber tilted his head and asked,

“But the surveillance cameras watching the walls…”

“Who said we were going over the wall? I am going in this way . ”

Kikikikik!

Tae-hyuk raised his robotic arms and cried out .

“Machina, mode Smash!”

Both Machina arms were pulled back to their limit . Then they shot towards the wall in front of him .

Kuwaaaaaang!

Then the wall made of cement shattered with a huge roar . The Bomber was speechless .

“……”

An excavator was needed to break a wall of that thickness . However, a human had punched it with the force of a machine . He could imagine what would happen if that was used to attack humans . They would literally become chunks of flesh .

But this wasn’t the end . Tae-hyuk was dressed in a modified version of the body armour worn by Big Brother from the Triads . One or two bullets wouldn’t give him any fatal injuries, and most aggressive actions were possible .

‘Furthermore, Machina can be used to protect my exposed head . ’

He could see the trajectory of the bullets and had Bullet Time that accelerated his mind . He was confident that he alone could win against an army .

Tae-hyuk had two pistols hanging from his waist and a FA-MAS 62 rifle on his shoulder . There were 20 magazines containing 12 bullets . He had a bunch of pockets in his body armour, allowing him to hold them all . He was significantly armed but this wasn’t that much if he was to fight over 100 Yakuza .

If they all attacked at once, it would be difficult to avoid all the shots, even with Bullet Time . Therefore, he chose an appropriate route .

Tae-hyuk placed the skull mask on his face . The Bomber was wearing a mask of the same design .

“Then it is a showdown between two bombers and 117 Yakuza members . It would be a plausible action movie if this was filmed . Unfortunately, that will have to wait for the next opportunity . ”

Once Tae-hyuk gave the signal, the Bomber started running towards the place where the bombs would be installed .

The skull mask shone white in the darkness .

“Then it is time to kill . ”
