When the two arrived, there were several black sedans parked there. The only person sitting inside is a man who seems to be a low-level mafia. The accompanying characters probably went inside. The old warehouse behind the car is the meeting place today.
Kwon Taek Joo and Zhenya waited nearby very early. He observed the move around him while looking for the right time to go in. The two waited a little longer as a precaution, but none of the forces joined late or any notable surprise attacks.
Kwon Taek Joo inspects the Colt's magazine. At that time, Zhenya also threw away the cigar he was holding. The moment the cigar rolled on the floor stopped moving, no one told anyone, the two of them moved forward.
Kwon Taek Joo took long steps forward and pulled the trigger. Two bullets were fired from a Colt equipped with a silencer. But the sedan is equipped with bulletproof glass, so the car window cannot be smashed immediately, but only a large radial crack in the windshield. The low-level mafia who was leisurely smoking rushed out his rifle.
Just as the gun was aimed at Kwon Taek Joo, the body of the sedan vibrated. There seems to be something like a rock falling onto a bonnet. The object pierced through the cracked windshield before Kwon Taek Joo could judge what was going on. The low-level mafia was pulled out by the collar. Kwon Taek Joo only confirmed that he had been grabbed by Zhenya and looked away. If you watch it to the end, your dream will be chaotic.
Zhenya returned not long after. He took out a handkerchief and threw it at him. The bastard just feel free to wipe his hands on it. The white handkerchief quickly turned a fiery red colour.
Kwon Taek Joo looked at the old warehouse at that time. There is a name 'Sonchef' there. He didn't know if the weapon that was intervening there was really Anastasia, but if he caught him, he would be able to get some clue.
He suddenly turned to look directly at Zhenya. The eyes of the two met immediately. Kwon Taek Joo nodded as if signalling to enter. Zhenya just laughed without responding.
He opened the door and went inside. The rising dust obscured his view. Kwon Taek Joo waved the dust in front of him and looked around. Office furniture and building materials are tossed everywhere. The four-sided brick wall has partially collapsed, there is also a large hole in the ceiling.
A middle-aged Russian man is sitting in the middle of that messy space. As soon as Kwon Taek Joo looked, he realised that he was Boris, a big name of 'Sonchef'. Five or six large figures stood behind him like a screen. Even though it was only a short confrontation, the scary atmosphere still covered.
What was unexpected was Boris's reaction. He was not confused even though his summoner was not Psych Bogdanov. He seemed a little surprised but then quickly smiled with interest.
"You're a little late, aren't you?"
Boris opens the conversation.
"I heard there was a big riot last night at the Bogdanov mansion, didn't I? Do you hear that you are the one who caused the trouble? Now it doesn't seem like a joke anymore?"
Boris's eyes were directed at Zhenya. It seems that he heard about what happened at the Bogdanov mansion. Zhenya neither denies nor asserts specifically. He just raised one side of his mouth and shrugged. Both look like real players of the underworld so such special events are no longer surprising.
Boris scanned Kwon Taek Joo's gaze from head to toe, then looked at Zhenya with a questionable face, as if looking for an explanation.
"Why did you start this?"
"It will probably be interesting."
Zhenya grinned. A tone too soft to turn the Bogdanov family or, more broadly, Russia, into an enemy. Of course, if this strategy is successful, he will make a huge profit that is difficult to measure. But until then, countless difficulties have to be overcome. Boris immediately dismissed that fragile possibility.
"You're too reckless."
"Isn't it bold? It's normal."
Zhenya remained cold and did not pay attention to Boris's words. He shook his head and looked at Kwon Taek Joo with curious eyes and asked 'Why do that?'. He felt uncomfortable, not because he was looked at from head to toe, but being treated on a par with Zhenya made him uncomfortable.
Kwon Taek Joo did not hesitate any longer but immediately intervened in the conversation.
"Just chatter like that, let's get to the main point. Where is Anastasia?"
Is there anything unexpected? Or was he said to hit a weak point? Boris raised his eyebrows and expressed doubt.
"Anastasia? I don't know why you searched for it from me."
So he still won't say it, right? In fact, there is still no evidence that 'SS-29' is 'Anastasia'. Moreover, from the beginning Kwon Taek Joo did not expect this to be easy.
"So 'SS-29' you probably know? I have a few things to confirm about that weapon."
"I seem to be a mouse falling into a trap on its own, isn't that your original purpose? I don't know if you are brave or innocent. Surely don't you think I'll answer everything easily?"
"Then there is no other way. If you can't talk, you can only use your body."
Before Kwon Taek Joo could finish his sentence, the bullets began to fly. He rolled quickly towards the pile of building materials. The rain of bullets made the thick dust rise blindly, making Kwon Taek Joo's vision blurry. His ears buzzed. Even so, the gunfire continued non-stop.
Kwon Taek Joo watches exactly the time of the counterattack and throws a smoke bomb at the building. Black smoke quickly enveloped the surroundings. He took that opportunity to crush the fluorescent bulbs inside the warehouse one by one. The pieces of light falling to the floor create the characteristic sound of breaking glass. The inside immediately became chaotic. There was a continuous gunshot somewhere, and there was a scream of people screaming with the vivid sound of broken body parts.
Zhenya is not around but Kwon Taek Joo is not worried either. No matter what the circumstances, he will survive. What you need to care about now is your own safety.
Kwon Taek Joo put on special safety glasses. As soon as the reaction sensor of the body's activity, the movements of the mafia are recorded. Unable to distinguish between friends and enemies, Kwon Taek Joo just pulls the trigger and constantly moves between the people around him.
"Augh!"
"Ugh!"
Along with the screams, the figures of people moving in front of his eyes fell one after another. Kwon Taek Joo continued to walk towards the chair where Boris was sitting.
But Boris wasn't there. He searched everywhere but couldn't find his shadow anywhere. And so does Zhenya.
Kwon Taek Joo slowly watched the surroundings. How far have you travelled? Suddenly he felt a tight back of his head. When Kwon Taek Joo turned around curiously, a figure suddenly rushed towards him. He dodged reflexively, but then a sharp pain ran along his arm. His sleeves were wet, it seemed that a weapon had slashed into it. He quickly took a step back and aimed at the opponent's head but did not rush to pull the trigger, because if he were Boris, it would make no sense to come here.
While Kwon Taek Joo was hesitating, his opponent slashed into the air with a weapon. The attack is aimed directly at the neck. He tilted his upper body to avoid the approaching blade, suddenly a shadow near the door hit his eye.
He was about 2m tall, standing on his side with his arms crossed arrogantly. The indifferent attitude observed when a sharp blade almost touched his partner's neck. No matter how you look, it's Zhenya. At his feet is a pile of people who seem to be members of the mafia. It seems that he has enjoyed all the interesting things and has no intention of helping quickly.
The blade in the blink of an eye was directed at Kwon Taek Joo's stomach. He hit the blade with the Colt barrel and aimed at the opponent's knee to pull the trigger.
"Bang!"
The opponent fell to the ground after a shot rang out. The voice moaned is Boris. Kwon Taek Joo sighed and took off his goggles. Meanwhile, blood flowed from his arm on the tips of his fingers and fell to the floor. The more blood flows. It seems that you need to stop the bleeding immediately.
Kwon Taek Joo rummaged in his pocket for a while and then stopped. He suddenly remembered throwing a handkerchief to Zhenya. Kwon Taek Joo had no choice but to take off his dusty jacket and button off his shirt. At that time, Zhenya slowly approached.
"It's dangerous. If you have a hole in your stomach, you can't pound rice cakes for a whole month."
* pounding rice cakes: pounding, making love
Thanks for worrying.
Kwon Taek Joo shook his head and focussed on unbuttoning his shirt but working with one hand was entangled. Zhenya stood with his arms folded to observe and then said: "Let me help" and took Kwon Taek Joo's hand. Then he started to take off the buttons to help Kwon Taek Joo. When I really need help, you pretend not to know and then show goodwill at unnecessary times like this.
Zhenya raised his left arm where the blood was oozing drop by drop as if mocking.
"Proud to die, right?"
"Of course."
Although he was frankly sarcastic, he still laughed naturally. Now that's not surprising anymore.
Kwon Taek Joo urged in a low voice "There is still a lot of work to be done"but Zhenya did not respond. He was surprisingly silent. Just opening a few buttons and he put his whole mind into it like that? Zhenya was so focussed that he didn't know that Kwon Taek Joo's eyes were staring at the tips of his fingers gently twisting each button.
"Okay. It's done."
Annoyed Kwon Taek Joo knocked out that annoying hand and took off his shirt himself. Because it was thrown hard, the last button before it could be opened, it must have popped out. He did not hesitate to wrap the shirt a few times around his bleeding left arm and then grabbed the end of the sleeve with his teeth and tied it into a tight knot. Things like this are not uncommon for him to perform tasks alone.
He stopped the bleeding for a while and then approached Boris. He dragged his injured legs and was about to pick up a gun. Kwon Taek Joo grabbed the nape of his neck and pressed him to sit in the chair just now. He pulled both Boris' hands behind his backrest and handcuffed tightly to it. Then Kwon Taek Joo put one foot on the chair and pushed it back.
The chair rumbled for an hour. Boris fell down with a heavy moan. Kwon Taek Joo lifted the chair again and he repeated the same action three or four times.
Boris did not flinch despite being thrown to the floor many times. On the contrary, he seems to be mocking Kwon Taek Joo. He suddenly pulled his hair. Even when his head was completely back, Boris still burst out with an unpleasant laugh.
"Do you think I'll reveal that?"
"Just wait and see, you'll know."
Kwon Taek Joo also smiled artificially. He quickly walked to the computer located close to the wall. He took out an old keyboard after throwing away all the miscellaneous belongings and smashing it against the wall to separate each key. He grabbed the keys that fell out and returned to Boris's place. Then he opened his mouth and stuffed the keys he was holding into it.
Boris's cheeks immediately swelled. Kwon Taek Joo glued the tape to his lips in case everything inside spilled out. Zhenya took a step forward and watched the scene with interest.
After preparing, Kwon Taek Joo slowly walked around Boris.
"A North Korean engineer will come to solve the problem of SS-29, right? 'I heard that I will arrive tomorrow, where do I have to go to see him?'"
Boris is motionless. Kwon Taek Joo bent down to be at his eye level. There was no emotion in his black eyes. Boris also glared at Kwon Taek Joo with red eyes. He suddenly punched his bulging cheek. The face, which was relaxed, is now distorted by pain, because the keys in the mouth are mixed with each other, causing severe pain. Just imagining the feeling of being hit with a fist is already in terrible pain.
But Boris stubbornly kept quiet. It is also not without reason that 'Sonchef' became famous. Kwon Taek Joo straightens his last body down. Boris took a quiet breath. Then he suddenly hit him in the face with his fist. Boris's whole body trembled because of the pain that made his eyes turn yellow in front of his eyes, moaning like screaming even though his mouth was full.
Kwon Taek Joo clenched Boris's cheeks grimacing with pain. His face turned even more pan. "Are you in the mood to talk now?"Kwon Taek Joo asked. He shook his head stubbornly, his eyes looking at him indignation. Kwon Taek Joo's face at that time also became cold. Zhenya stood watching and laughed.
Kwon Taek Joo clenched his fist mercilessly punching Boris like a sandbag. He, who had been persistent for a while, suddenly collapsed. Saliva and blood oozed from the tightly closed mouth. When Kwon Taek Joo removed the tape, his lips helplessly opened. Computer keys and teeth covered in blood spilled out.
"I asked again. Who is the technician who came to fix SS-29 and where is his destination?"
Boris grinned at the persistent question. Then suddenly he spit. Saliva mixed with blood clumped around Kwon Taek Joo's eyes. He didn't bother to wipe it away, but just silently picked up Boris's knife that was falling on the floor.
"Why don't you go out?"
He coldly suggested to Zhenya, which It can be considered as interest or advice.
"You just consider it like you don't know me."
I was a little interested in him but it didn't seem necessary. The eagerness to look forward to seeing an interesting spectacle filled his curled eyes.
Okay. Kwon Taek Joo said and walked towards Boris. He took a deep breath and glared at Kwon Taek Joo who was approaching, almost able to tear him apart more than 10 times with just that look. He was still very vigourous even though he lost all his strength. It seems that Kwon Taek Joo will have to resort to the last resort.
"Indian warriors hunt down as many enemies as they can to prove their might. They are famous for their brutality and cause terrible pain to the opponent until the last moment. Compared to them, the method of killing by cutting off the head and separating the flesh from the body can be considered more humane, because it is only painful at that moment. I heard that they often scalp their enemies when they are alive."
Kwon Taek Joo muttered while stroking Boris's forehead. His hair dropped to reveal his broad forehead. He used the knife he was holding to draw a line on it.
'…Eughhh!'
Boris twisted his bound body in pain as the raw meat was cut. It's not an unbearable pain. A little blood oozes from the wound cut by the blade.
"They made a small crack in the forehead with two fingers and slowly tore it apart. Most people die of shock before they can remove the skin on their head. 'It is said that pain cannot be compared to being shot by a gun, slashed by a knife or having a broken bone.'"
A bizarre smile looms on Kwon Taek Joo's lips. Zhenya's excitement peaked. Boris for the first time in his life felt afraid of the difficulties that had been foretold.
"Aaaaahhhhh!"
A scream as if tearing through the whole building sounded shortly thereafter.
The closed warehouse door opened. Unlike Kwon Taek Joo, who is obviously very unhappy, Zhenya looks extremely happy. He kept following behind him to the point of discomfort when he went to the car.
"Are you going to peel real leather?"
"...I feel uncomfortable. Let's go."
Kwon Taek Joo ignores Zhenya's question. He rubbed his right hand against his pants. The blood on his hand was wiped quickly. Zhenya was still noisy without knowing what was going on.
"Didn't you look a little sexy just now? Me, it's dangerous for me. My bottom is all hard."
"Next time if so, let's talk about it? If it's your scalp, I'm always willing to peel it off."
Kwon Taek Joo angrily gritted his teeth and growled and pulled Zhenya's collar. The beautiful face was pulled right in front of his nose. His blue eyes slowly rotated and moved from Kwon Taek Joo's eyes to his arms. That movement is full of discomfort, like the eyes of a reptile.
He frowned and glared at him, but Zhenya removed the hand that was holding his collar. In just that moment, the flesh where the two touched each other was as cold as an iceberg. Kwon Taek Joo was unconsciously startled and shook his hand away. It would probably be a shame to be so blatantly dodged, but Zhenya just smirked as if nothing had happened.
"So the next thing to do is that?"
Kwon Taek Joo nodded instead of the answering. Zhenya said "Okay"and then ran forward. The back swayed gently as if humming. Kwon Taek Joo just stood there and stared at him.
Sometimes Zhenya still makes a serious face and if the partner is aware, he seems not to notice and smiles. Although he pretends to be a generous person, he often suddenly reveals his true self without hiding it. He himself is a destroyer. He is a dangerous monster who is passionate about unusual interests.
Just one step. For Zhenya, the line between normal and abnormal is only one foot apart. Unconsciously destroying that thin boundary and then quickly rebuilding it, is entirely up to him.
Kwon Taek Joo's instinct, which is faster than his mind, constantly speaks.
