Sooho

Chapter 225: < Protect – Episode 215 – Russian Roulette [2] >

“Where are you?”

“Prague.”

“Ha!”

A total of 4 European representatives existed in the CIA Europe headquarters. The four people were responsible for Germany, France, Spain, and Italy. But why was England left out? That was because America’s biggest ally was England, and London was managed by Langley.

Czech was taken care of by the one in charge of Germany. Actually, most of the East European countries were taken care of by the CIA’s Berlin branch. And they, who were in the front lines of the European terrorist attacks, didn’t see Ahn Soo Ho coming. And he, who was mocking those who were keeping a close eye on him, was countless kilometers away from making an appearance in Prague.

Even among the CIA European representatives, there were ranks, and Germany was at the top while the rest were at a similar level.

“Where’s the hotel monitoring team?”

“We didn’t see them coming out.”

“I’m not surprised.”

If they had, it would have been reported to him.

“What a headache. What about Langley?”

“Don’t you know? The director has no interest in getting involved.”

“I don’t want to either.”

“But!”

He blocked the mouth of the French representative with his hand.

“I think the Krupp issue is a big problem, too. But there are too many obstacles to overcome before we can deal with it.”

“The Krupp Organization already formed a secret group with all of Western Europe including France. At this rate, Europe will suffer from far-right nationalism.”

“I know.”

“Then you should also know!”

“No assassinations.”

“Sir!”

Otto Krupp’s new Nazi organization was a scary group indeed. They were on a whole different level from the Skin Heads that drank beer at a pub and bluffed.

“If Europe splits up, Russia will start to act.”

“I know.”

“Then that would really mean a world war.”

“I know.”

“Then we should stop it.”

The German representative knitted his brows in frustration.

“To be honest... I think the ones at the top think differently.”

“What do you mean?”

“They want Europe to split up.”

“Why?”

“Why? That’s such a stupid question.”

It was because Europe’s chaos was beneficial to America. It would have been different before the Davis Scandal, but right now, the world had to be in chaos in order to put the dissatisfaction and complains of the American citizens to rest.

‘See this? We’re not the only ones!’

Europe’s division was an excuse that American politicians desperately needed. Europe was bullshit, the Middle East was always crazy, and Asia surrounding North Korea and their chaos was welcome as well. The African continent had always been disastrous, and South America was in the process of tumbling down.

The entire world was screaming for help.

“Branch Manager!”

They also screamed at their subordinate who gave them a briefing.

“There’s a gunfight in Prague!”

******

Was there a woman that did prostitution because they enjoyed it? Actually, there were. There were more of them than people imagined. Whether it was for religious or personal reasons, most found prostitution as something to be ashamed of.

That applied to both the east and the west.

“Saying that society made them go into prostitution is all bullshit. They just wanted a fast way to make cash.”

“Aren’t you oversimplifying it?”

“It’s not a sin to like having sex. They’re just highlighting their specialty. That’s a good thing, isn’t it? To make money by doing something you like.”

Everyone laughed at Alexa’s way of speaking. She also had one firm belief. She never turned back on a woman that wanted help, but if they didn’t have self-reliance and strong will, she didn’t help them a second time. Those who didn’t make an effort to get stronger on their own always roamed around in one spot. Change had to start from within.

“I’m not trying to criticize prostitutes, Soo Ho.”

“Then what are you trying to do?”

“I’m cussing out the idiots that only think about stuff like that.”

‘Since prostitution is legal, I’ll do it to make money?’ That wasn’t something other people should interfere with. But being pointed at was something they had to accept. After all, being a prostitute followed them for life.

There were very few who actually got into the field because their livelihood was at risk. Most liked the feeling of having a lot of cash, and some of them saw it as an opportunity to dream. However, there were also those who were dragged into it against their will.

Miselaf, who died in Alexa’s hands, was a son of a bitch.

He once worked under Yusef and was a thug that used bribery and threats to get what he wanted. After all, instigating murder was harder to get caught for than murder itself. Even if they got arrested, as long as they didn’t have any traitors, it was impossible for the Czech prosecution to verify Mislaf’s charge.

They knew he was a bad guy, but they couldn’t punish him. That kind of injustice existed all over the world. Systematic justice was also important, but the nature of justice didn’t exist in the system. Today’s court was greatly crippled.

Ahn Soo Ho’s justice was simple.

‘If I want to kill him, I just do it.’

That didn’t mean he was some psychopath that killed everyone, but in the eyes of human rights activists, he was a monster that deserved to die.

Bang-

One bullet per man.

Every enemy that ran out with a weapon died. Licensed prostitution meant they got permission from the country, but there were always cheaters. Mislaf bribed pretty much all the capable men of Prague including the police, government workers, and politicians.

Despite the strict laws, they managed to demonstrate strong lobbying that allowed them to dominate the nights of Prague. He thought of himself as a capable businessman, but Ahn Soo Ho just saw him as a typical scumbag.

Bang, bang, bang-

Alexa shot countless bullets when they stopped responding, she looked back at him with a sad look on her face.

“I think that was the last guy.”

“The police will be here soon. Make it short.”

Even if they bribed the police and government workers, they weren’t just going to ignore a gunfight.

“Ugh.”

Mislaf’s right hand and accountant trembled as if he was going to piss his pants. A man and a woman swept up the hideout with something that they had never seen before, and this left them with a trauma that they would never forget.

Alexa stared down at Bonan with an uninterested gaze.

“Tell me. Who’s the Russian that your boss met recently?”

“Milosevic.”

“Oh, yeah?”

She looked back at Ahn Soo Ho. Most thought of a famous dictator when they heard that name, but that last name was actually very common. However, he could only think of one Milosevic that was involved with Russia at the moment.

“Gazprom?”

“My boss said that a big one was coming in and ordered us to prepare some beautiful women!”

As soon as she asked that one question, Bonan spilled everything he knew. It was obvious he was desperate to get out alive.

“Keep going.”

“A big incident will take place in Russia soon...”

“A big incident?”

“I don’t know the details.”

“What else?”

“The distribution networks in Poland and Austria need to be rebuilt...”

He said something of which the context was hard to understand.

“Do you understand this, Soo Ho?”

“No, but if Milosevic is involved, this is no small matter.”

Armidan Milosevic was a name that only some knew. As of right now, Vitali was on top of the world, but the one that pushed him to the top was his wife’s big sister, who was also his sister-in-law.

They failed at a dictatorship, but if there was something they did for human civilization, it was the expansion of gender equality. In both capitalism and communism, the glass ceiling was the same, but in the Soviet Union, women’s rights were more advanced.

‘It’s impossible for Vitali to manage Russia alone.’

If he wanted to control Moscow on his own as a Russian ambassador to Korea, he needed an army that would never betray him. And on top of that, they had to be the most capable men.

‘They probably called upon all the powerful cousins they know.’

There was no one more trustworthy than family, but at the same time, family was the hardest to control.

‘It’s not like they can kill their family if something goes wrong...’

If Vitali had to abandon his family to survive, he was willing to do so. He was uncertain about his own children, but he was willing to abandon his wife.

“Piss off.”

As soon as Ahn Soo Ho waved his gun around, Bonan ran off. Alexa smacked her lips and then looked at him.

“Are we going to the embassy now?”

“No, there’s somewhere else we need to go first.”

“Where?”

“Let’s get moving. The police will get here soon.”

As soon as he stopped talking, the police arrived with loud sirens ringing. There was no need for them to run into the Czech police. They were a close neighbor of Germany, but Czech had a different vibe from the rest of Western Europe.

The Czech of the days of the secret police wasn’t completely gone. The people that roamed around the streets at night were either the police or thieves. If one got drunk and passed out on the streets in Europe, they would probably never wake up again.

The red-light district was bustling. It was hard to guarantee safety at night, but young people were always rash. The young people didn’t have good judgment as they lived as if there was no tomorrow, and in Europe, drugs were easier to obtain than alcohol.

Also, guns were even easier to obtain than drugs.

‘They dream of democracy while also being hung up on the past.’

It wasn’t like that from the very beginning.

But toward the end of the 20th century, the division and openness made the people get drunk off of freedom, which prevented them from being aware that they crossed the line. It was good to be greedy, but those who were greedy beyond control were dangerous to other people.

It wasn’t just fanaticism that created terrorists.

“Prague has changed a lot, hasn’t it?”

“Yeah.”

Alexa didn’t have any expression on her face.

“Are you going to visit your mother’s family?”

“What’s the point in that? If I do, I might end up killing all of them.”

Those that pushed her into a living hell were devils dressed up as angels.

“Maybe there was a misunderstanding.”

“A misunderstanding? That can’t be, Soo Ho. I still remember the facial expression of my uncle, who sold me off.”

“Do you think your other family feels the same way as him?”

“It’s not like they talked him out of it... Anyway, I don’t want to kill my mother. I just... want to live on and forget about it all.”

“Is it okay if you live on all by yourself?”

“You live alone and die alone, right?”

The white community had a strong individualist culture.

For humanists that had individualist tendencies put themselves before any nation or religion. America was weird for stressing patriotism on television.

Despite the fact that there was a gun battle not long ago, the club vibes were as lively as ever. In contrast to the quiet night in the city, the businesses of Prague were bustling even at night.

The two of them left the alley and entered the crowds, but not a single person minded them. Actually, the pocket thieves were probably the only ones to mind them. Since it was a famous tourist destination, there were many thieves.

Ahn Soo Ho stood in front of a club and Alexa tilted her head.

“Here?”

The lines were long as if it was a popular club.

“Cross?”

The city of art and music was home to clubs that were out of the ordinary. The city was full of history, and as a result, the people were surprised by the worldly music it hosted. The major clubs of Europe were at a whole different scale from that of Korea.

The upper class enjoyed banquets while the rest enjoyed noisy parties. The two decided to enter through a back door, and there were big men who were covered in tattoos. As soon as Alexa approached with a gun and a smile on her face, they all ran off.

“Those damned con artists.”

“All gatekeepers are like that.”

As soon as they got in, they heard exciting music. They were playing popular EDM music. All of Europe was currently obsessed with electronic music.

The way the stairs led to the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th floor reminded them of an opera house. Actually, it was probably a failed theatre that was remodeled into a club. The men and women were having a good time under the vibrant lights and electronic music, and some proceeded to the bar or left quietly in order to enjoy a more private time.

Ahn Soo Ho and Alexa proceeded to make a sneak attack on the VVIP room. They repressed the thugs at the front and then kicked the door open.

They all stared blankly.

They were half-naked men and women.

Why did this always happen?

“Ugh, keep going.”

Ahn Soo Ho smiled and told them to keep going, but the mood died down immediately. He then noticed a familiar face in the crowd.

“Hi, friend.”

The person that received Ahn Soo Ho’s greeting felt like it was déjà vu.

“Haha.”

However, he didn’t plop down on the floor like last time. He was already sitting down this time, and since he repaid Ahn Soo Ho by helping with Han Chae Kyung’s cause in Italy, he had no reason to fear him.

Eric Rupee

The shameless French businessman pushed the woman in his arms off him and welcomed Ahn Soo Ho.

“Soo Ho! Soo Ho! My hero!”

The alcohol also suppressed his fear.

“This is my first time seeing you since Italy last year. Who’s this?”

“Don’t you remember?”

“We’ve met before? How could I forget such a beautiful woman?”

“This is Alexa.”

As soon as he heard Alexa’s name, his face went pale.

“Al... Alexa Ivanof?”

He was a businessman that managed a European modeling agency. He didn’t conduct human trafficking, but he did use some violence from time to time.

“Gulp!”

He was afraid of Ahn Soo Ho, too, but the woman in front of Eric was like a cousin to him.

‘Damn it!’

He covered his groin with his hands. That was because he was reminded of Alexa’s nickname.

Pea-Collector and Hunter.

People called her the pea collector as well as...

“Penis Hunter.”

He trembled in fear.
