The President’s Whereabouts (2)

“Oh, Sua!”

Sua comes running with quick steps.

Sujeong also runs over, and both daughters jump and hug me.

My daughters kiss me on both sides.

“Did you have fun?”

“Yeah! But I missed you a little, Dad.”

“Missed me, huh? Okay. Now that Dad’s here, let’s play together.”

“Yeah! But let’s fill our bellies first!”

“…….”

Sua’s vocabulary was improving day by day.

Now, she was comparable to her older sister. In a few years, she would be using language at a similar level to Sujeong.

Sua was a little slow to speak, but she had already mastered English and was learning several other languages. Could she have a similar level of intelligence to Sujeong?

“Shall we have a barbecue then?”

“Yeah!”

“Great!”

While I was having a reunion(?) with my daughters, Lisa walked over.

“You’ve worked hard again today.”

“Was there anything unusual?”

“Not at all. To think that a place with such beautiful scenery is a villa, it’s like a dream.”

“I’ll give you even more luxury in the future.”

Lee Seulgi was next to us, but my wife and I didn’t care and exchanged fiery glances.

Lee Seulgi smiled awkwardly and said,

“Then I’ll be on my way. I have some things to finish up.”

“Aren’t you hungry?”

“Well, I am.”

“Eat before you go.”

Lee Seulgi is my right-hand woman.

Even if I’m making her work, I can’t let her go hungry.

Tap, tap!

Sizzle!

The smell of grilling meat fills the air.

Today is a beef party.

I’m grilling thick sirloin on the grill, and I have to decide when to flip it based on the sound and smell. The taste of the meat depends on it.

I listen to the sound of the meat grilling.

“Chairman, what are you doing right now?”

“You see, the thing about meat is, it has to be cooked just right, and the juices have to be locked in. Measuring that optimal timing is the key to grilling.”

“When did you develop such skills?”

“When I was running Gold Hand.”

“Did you sell beef there too?”

“It was a Korean restaurant, but how could beef be left out?”

There were also some so-called fusion dishes.

One of them was steak, but instead of Western style, the surrounding ingredients were Korean.

I think it was over 100,000 won [approximately $75 USD]?

Nevertheless, it sold like hotcakes. That’s because the meat was grilled using a secret recipe passed down from my family.

I flip the meat only once.

Whoosh!

I sprinkle alcohol on it to remove any possible odors.

“Wow. You’re a complete expert.”

“Did you think it was a lie that I ran a Korean restaurant?”

“It’s not that, but I couldn’t imagine you cooking yourself.”

“Look forward to it.”

When the steak is finished, I add the prepared side dishes.

Finally, I sprinkle the sauce and serve it.

“The presentation is impressive.”

“They say you eat with your eyes first.”

“The grill marks are clear, and the juices are flowing…….”

Slice, slice, slice!

Lee Seulgi cuts off a piece and puts it in her mouth.

“Wow!”

And an exclamation of admiration.

“I thought only the Madam was good at cooking.”

“I used to be a chef in a restaurant too.”

“I see.”

“I’ll enjoy the meal!”

The kids say hello, saying they’ll enjoy the meal.

Lee Seulgi smiled bitterly. Somehow, she had become a woman with less manners than the children.

Lee Seulgi went back, and Sujeong and I take a short walk.

Sua had fallen asleep first, and my wife was putting her to bed and tidying up around her.

“Dad. Did the CIA bother you today?”

“They bothered me, but it seems like they can’t do anything officially.”

“Officially, you mean?”

“Yeah. No matter how much suspicion they have, it’s just Director Katherine acting alone.”

“Then they won’t stay still, will they?”

“That’s how it is.”

The country’s president was kidnapped.

In addition to this, the ministers were all kidnapped, and they threatened to paralyze the government. Maybe by now they have succeeded in kidnapping the ministers or are in the process of carrying out the plan.

Even if I were in Katherine’s position, I would come up with something. Katherine, a former army general, was known to have a fairly impulsive personality.

She had toned down that personality a bit since joining the CIA, but judging from the way she swore when things didn’t go her way, I could guess to some extent.

She knew that I was staying at the villa today. It was evening, and the sun was setting, so I thought Katherine would send mercenaries soon. Or, in extreme cases, she could use CIA agents.

No matter how good the mercenaries are, their teamwork can’t keep up with the agents who have been professionally trained at the CIA.

So she’ll probably come today.

Sujeong clapped her hands and rejoiced.

“Then they’re going to invade?”

“I’ve spread out the vampires all over the place.”

“Hehe. That grandma’s going to have a hard time, isn’t she?”

“I think she’ll be shitting blood today.”

“That’s going to be fun.”

“This dad thinks so too.”

“She dared to try to steal Dad’s technology, so she deserves that much punishment.”

“Okay.”

I thought Katherine would move within a few hours.

The area around Seoul’s Mt. Waryong [a mountain in Seoul].

Chairman Lee Yoosung had prepared a villa here and decided to spend the holiday with his family there.

It had been an hour since the sun had set, and a deep darkness was slowly descending.

Even though it was Seoul, it was dark because it was surrounded by mountains, and there was even a chilly wind blowing.

Katherine set up a situation room here.

Setting up a situation room didn’t mean setting up a barracks, but rather using a converted minibus as a situation room.

Twenty agents were mobilized for today’s plan.

They were all highly trained and had gathered special agents who had been active in various locations.

-Director. Shall we execute?

“…….”

Everyone looked at her face.

Director Liam once again advised.

“Director. If we make a mistake, our relationship with Korea may become irreparable. Furthermore, the United States may be ridiculed around the world.”

“We can’t afford to lose the President.”

“But is it really true that Chairman Lee Yoosung kidnapped the President? We haven’t received any such information.”

“It’s certain. I’ll proceed with this operation under my authority.”

“……Then there’s nothing we can do.”

The President was missing.

She was the head of an organization and could make her own judgments and decisions in an emergency. In the first place, there were not many people who could be called her superiors.

Katherine took a deep breath.

‘That bastard Lee Yoosung is definitely the one. I thought he was talking crazy, but he really did it.’

Chairman Lee Yoosung ignored the power of the CIA too much.

They check global trends, sometimes intervene in conflicts, and carry out infiltration missions in various locations. The agents in the field were better than any mercenaries.

There were 20 highly trained people, so this operation was bound to succeed. We need to think about what happens next.

Gritting!

A dull sound is heard from her mouth.

“Enter.”

-Roger.

Twenty cameras transmitted the screen through the monitor.

The agents moved quickly.

Whoosh!

“Huh?”

“Something passed by!”

“Is the equipment malfunctioning?”

The agent who was monitoring tilted his head.

Something definitely seemed to be caught on camera, but it was not possible to identify what it was.

Equipment malfunction?

That was impossible. The equipment used by the CIA could not be so shabby.

Goosebumps rose on Katherine’s arm.

“Everyone be careful!”

“Kkeuaaaak!”

Sizzle!

“Agent 3 has been hit!”

-Aaaagh!

-Kkeuaaaak!

The camera flashed quickly.

The monitoring agents were busy analyzing the stored video in any way they could. Before long, the video was analyzed.

“It’s, it’s a person!”

“A person!?”

“Yes! Someone is snatching the agents!”

“How can that be!?”

Humans move that fast?

That was impossible. No matter how highly trained a person was, there was bound to be a limit.

There was no human who moved so fast that afterimages remained, like in the movies. But what about a machine?

“Android…….”

“No way!? Are androids that fast!?”

“The ones they gave us must have been downgraded.”

Even that downgraded android had five times the strength of a human. The agility was three times as high, and they survived even when shot. Unless the battery in the head was destroyed, they even recovered on their own.

That alone was considered a monster.

But now that I see it, the androids that Chairman Lee Yoosung sold to the United States were downgraded.

If not, it meant that a more advanced version of the 2nd generation android had been created than before.

Is that possible with current technology?

“What a monster…….”

The screens flashed quickly.

It took less than 5 minutes for all the agents to disappear.

“……The operation has failed.”

“Didn’t they even get close to the villa!?”

Katherine sighed.

There had never been an operation that had failed so miserably. It was far beyond a miserable level.

“Director! What do we do? 20 agents have disappeared! Shouldn’t we mobilize the military…….”

“For what reason?”

“That’s.”

There was no justification.

Even if they caught Chairman Lee Yoosung, there had to be a justification, but even now there was no evidence that he was involved.

Chairman Lee Yoosung had not committed any hostile acts, and everything was happening because of Katherine’s speculation.

If a military operation were to take place here, then a truly irreversible situation would occur. It was beyond her authority.

“What on earth should we do!?”

Katherine could not easily make any decisions.

Tap, tap!

The night was getting late, and a small bonfire was lit.

This is what modern people enjoy, watching the fire.

It is to look at the burning bonfire and not think about anything.

Of course, I had too many things going on to just watch the fire and not think about anything.

I had dozens of vampires spread out, so it would be impossible to break through.

I wonder if everything is over by now?

I was mentally connected to my summons, and one of the vampires reported to me.

-Master! I have completed the mission.

-Okay. Good job.

-What should we do with them? Should we kill them all?

I shook my head.

What I was trying to do now was to show my power, not to create a bloody situation. It was just laying the groundwork for doing business comfortably in the future.

-Keep them safe.

-Yes, Master.

This is the end of this.

“I guess they’ve almost finished cleaning up the ministers too.”
