The Cop Is Too Strong [EN]: Chapter 42

Jackson, a veteran waiter with six years at the Queen Club, recognized the Ferrari instantly from afar.

Screech-!

He was shocked to see the owner driving the 400 million won car [approximately $300,000 USD] like it was disposable. He drove more recklessly than he ever had in his old Matiz [a small, inexpensive car].

“Take the keys!”

The car owner, radiating an ingrained sense of superiority, tossed the keys carelessly, disregarding the guards and valet.

‘Jackpot!’

The car owner, acting as if it were his due, strode to the front of the line with his entourage. It felt as though the waiting line parted like the Red Sea to make way for them.

The guards exchanged glances and, instead of stopping them, gestured them forward.

Jackson instinctively rushed forward.

“Welcome! I’m Jackson…”

As expected, the car owner recognized Jackson immediately, slung an arm around his shoulder, and pulled him inside.

‘What’s with this strength…’

“I heard the ‘water’s good’ here?” [In this context, ‘water’ refers to the quality and attractiveness of the women at the club.]

“It’s cleaner and better than Jeju Island’s pure water! And there are plenty of open-minded women!”

“Alright, let’s see what you can do today, Jackson.”

Shin Haesoo slipped a check into Jackson’s breast pocket. Jackson quickly glanced at the amount. It wasn’t 100,000 won [approximately $75 USD]. There was another zero on the end.

“This Jackson will risk his life to serve you, sir!”

“Don’t overdo it.”

“Yes, sir!”

They went to the second floor, to a glass-walled room with the best view of the stage.

Haesoo, in a red suit, sat with women on either side, leaning back arrogantly on the sofa.

“Oppa, are you friends with that oppa?” [Oppa is a Korean term used by women to address older brothers or male friends/significant others.]

“I don’t have friends. He’s a bodyguard.”

“Aww, no way, he seems like a total social butterfly!”

“Everyone looks cheap to me.”

“Ah…”

The youngest woman shrank back, feeling awkward.

“Is this your first time at a club, oppa? Why are you so shy?”

“Look how red your face is, aww, you’re so cute, like a teddy bear!”

“Y-you can’t touch me…”

“But why are your hands still?”

-The youngest is having fun? I’m telling your girlfriend?

-The youngest likes it so much, I’m so jealous.

-Stop looking for the hyung [older brother/male friend].

Just as the atmosphere was heating up,

Bang!

Haesoo slightly lifted his foot from the table and slammed his heel down. The women startled, and the room fell silent.

“Ah, shit…”

He frowned and took something from his pocket.

Shwaa-

White paper fluttered in the air. It was a check issued by the Korea Bank.

“Kyaa!”

The women screamed like dolphins and frantically started picking up the checks. Some crossed their legs with pride and watched, then picked them up belatedly.

“Let’s go, this isn’t fun.”

“Yes, President.”

While the women were busy grabbing the checks, Haesoo got up. The youngest instinctively rose with him and left the room.

Jackson was horrified and clung to Haesoo.

“H-hyung, what’s wrong?”

“Jackson, is this the best you can do?”

“I’m sorry! I’ll get you much fresher girls…”

“Forget it. The mood’s gone.”

“Hyung, please give me another chance…”

Haesoo left the club without looking back. Jackson watched his retreating figure with regret.

-Too natural?

-I suspect a rush job. Is this his real self?

-I can’t believe the day would come when I feel the same way as the hyung.

The next day, Haesoo and the youngest entered the Queen Club again. Jackson rushed out and bowed 90 degrees.

“Hyung, you’ve arrived! I was so sorry about what happened last time…”

“If it’s like that again today, you’re dead.”

He gave him another check. This time, two. Jackson’s eyes widened.

“I’ll give it my all!”

In the same room as before, less than an hour later.

Shwaa-!

The same thing happened as if it were déjà vu. White checks flew around the room.

“Kyahaha!”

At the same time, Haesoo and the youngest left the room. Jackson, with an angry face, clung to Haesoo, sweating.

“Jackson, is this the best you can do?”

“I’ve committed a mortal sin! This time, I’ll really make sure…”

“Forget it.”

Haesoo left without hesitation. But he came again the next day. This time, driving a different car.

Jackson received three checks today, like an attendance sheet. He wasn’t just happy. As the money increased, so did the pressure on his mind.

Jackson really brought in A-class girls and put them in. However.

Shwaa-!

That day ended the same way.

“Jackson, is this the best you can do?”

“I… among the girls who came today, they were really the best…”

“Shh, I don’t want to hear excuses.”

Haesoo left, and the cycle of returning the next day continued until the seventh day.

Today, Jackson received one check.

‘Did it decrease again? Well…’

He guided them to their seats and checked the check, but there was another zero attached.

‘Crazy, this person… I can’t handle him.’

He could get his legs broken if he was too greedy. He finally told the manager.

“Yeah, you’re talking about the guy who’s been renting the VIP room for a week, right?”

“…Yes, that’s right. He must have spent hundreds of millions of won in a week.”

“I know, he was a customer you couldn’t handle in the first place. Get out.”

“Yes.”

‘The Kangsan Distribution president’s troublemaker son, Lee Taesoo…’

The manager had already identified Haesoo’s fake identity through the women.

Kangsan Distribution was a subcontractor of Daesung Group, and with Ahn Seo-eun’s help, they had already completed the fake identity work.

Today, as Haesoo was leaving after not even an hour, throwing money around, the manager approached him.

“Sir, was there anything that made you uncomfortable?”

“Who are you? Where’s Jackson?”

“I’m Manager Jung Seok-seung. If you have the time… would you like me to guide you to a better place?”

-That’s it!

-Finally?

“A better place? Then you should have said so sooner? Are you saying you’ve been treating me like a sucker until now? Call Jackson.”

“N-no, that’s not it. The amount you’ve spent so far, we’ll…”

Bang!

“Cough!”

Haesoo pushed the manager in the chest, causing him to slam hard against the wall. The manager was flustered, sweating from the unexpectedly rough behavior.

The guards approached at the small commotion but were blocked by the youngest. The manager raised his hand to dismiss the guards.

“Do you think I’m doing this because of the money? Are you saying that a mere club dared to test me?”

“I-I’m sorry. I don’t know what to say…”

At that moment, Jackson, who saw the commotion, came up and prostrated himself.

“Hyung! I’ve committed a mortal sin! It’s all my fault.”

“Yeah, it wasn’t that our Jackson wasn’t doing his best, it’s your fault.”

Jackson felt a chill run down his spine at the cold voice. Then, a heavy weight pressed down on his back.

“Ugh”

Haesoo stepped on Jackson and said.

“I have a heart as wide as the ocean, so I’ll end it here. Hey, lead the way.”

“Yes! I understand.”

The manager, his haughty attitude gone, quickly ran ahead to guide him.

-Hae, Haesoo, why are you like this? Scary.

-Did the commando get pissed because he spent so much money?

Haesoo kept a slight distance from the manager and spoke softly, holding the button.

“It’s a crazy person build-up.”

-Ah, he’s going to act even crazier?

Before getting on the elevator, the manager spoke very cautiously.

“Um… I’m really sorry, but the bodyguard can’t come with us.”

“It’s okay, Cheol, you can go.”

“Yes, President.”

The youngest left, and Haesoo boarded the elevator alone with the manager.

When the elevator stopped on the second basement floor, a car was waiting right in front. It was so close that there was no way to escape to another path.

-Uh, isn’t the commando a little dangerous alone?

-It’ll be dangerous for them.

-What are you talking about?

-Ah, hyung, why are you acting like you don’t know? The youngest is the brake, not the accelerator.

Haesoo chuckled at Oh Gyeong’s words and got into the car.

As Kim Sangtae explained, the front was blocked, and the windows on both sides were heavily tinted. On closer inspection, the tinting was double-layered on both sides.

“They’re really going all out.”

“I’m sorry. As I said, it’s a closed-off place.”

“If it’s not good when we get there, it’s over.”

“You’ll like it.”

The car drove for quite a while. It drove for more than an hour before finally stopping. It felt like they were going up. They were in a car elevator.

Clunk

The manager opened the door and said with a smiling face.

“We’ve arrived.”

-Okay, location acquired.

-Haesoo, can you hear us?

Haesoo followed the manager and tapped the top button with the microphone.

Toc toc

-There doesn’t seem to be any electromagnetic interference.

As soon as he got out of the car, a wide hallway unfolded. A red carpet was spread out on the floor, and both sides were made of glass so you could see inside. On the right was a warehouse storing wine, liquor, and beer with antique interiors, and on the opposite side was a kitchen where you could see people cooking from behind.

Haesoo tried to capture the things inside on video, twisting his body.

“This way.”

Going down the central stairs, long corridors stretched out on both sides, and dozens of rooms were visible. Each room had a number and was very quiet.

You could only guess that there were people inside from the occasional thumping sounds. No voices could be heard at all, as if the rooms were well soundproofed.

“Here it is.”

“It’s far.”

When he entered the room, the fruit and alcohol settings were already complete.

“If there are any liquors you would like to drink, please let me know.”

“This is enough.”

“Yes, then please wait a moment? When you want to leave, just press this bell.”

It looked like a hotel room. One side was a bar for drinking, the other side had a sofa and sofa table, the bathroom was decorated with marble and gold trim, and the bed was king-size.

A unique feature was that all the windows were blocked, completely isolating it from the outside.

Knock knock

Less than 5 minutes later, there was a knock. Soon, women entered in a line. A total of seven, even Haesoo’s pupils, who wasn’t very interested in women, widened slightly.

-Wow…

-They’ve gathered all the beauties of Korea there.

It was as if they had brought celebrities.

“Hello? I’m Yuri, an announcer from KAS [Korean Announcing System].”

“I’m Seohee, a secretary from Sansam Corporation.”

“I’m Jiyeon, a flight attendant from Asibara Airlines.”

“Hellooo. I’m Seungmi, the youngest of Red Moon [likely a girl group or performance team].”

“I’m Miso, a nurse from Pogyung Hospital.”

Each had a concept: announcer, secretary, flight attendant, idol, nurse, etc., gathering elements that stimulate men’s fantasies.

The makeup and outfits were also tailored to that. The skirts weren’t overly short or the chests deeply cut, and it seemed like they really brought their original outfits.

After the introductions, Haesoo chuckled.

“This is fun.”

“Are you satisfied?”

“There was a reason why you were so confident.”

“I’m glad you liked it.”

Haesoo looked around at the women. There’s a saying that you have to take responsibility for your face when you turn thirty, but even if they were still young, if they were over twenty, their personality showed on their face.

He chose the woman who seemed the most empty-headed.

“You, the rest get out.”

“Thank you for choosing Jiyeon.”

The woman in the flight attendant uniform smiled and took a step forward.

The manager bowed lightly and disappeared with the rest of the women.

Haesoo sat at the bar with Jiyeon and drank wine. Jiyeon leaned close and subtly touched Haesoo’s arm.

“Passenger, have you been working out a lot? You’re very firm…”

Her soft touch gradually went down. Just as the warmth of her hand was felt in a secret place, Haesoo snatched her wrist.

“Oh my”

Haesoo stared at her for a moment and then let go of her hand. Her slender wrist was red with handprints from how hard he had grabbed it.

“Don’t do useless things, just pour the alcohol.”

“Ah, ah…”

Haesoo’s eyes, handing over the glass, were filled with sadness. Jiyeon, who noticed that there was something she couldn’t say, sent a sympathetic look.

-Ah! The unfortunate troublemaker concept!

-He became a troublemaker because he was impotent! Shin Haesoo gets an unexpected loss!
