088: Move and see (3)

Cheol-woo traced the old memories while driving. The major events that took place in Japan before his return were still in his memory.

Because worrying about the future of Japan was one of the hobbies of Koreans. If you go abroad, you will be able to enjoy your hobbies more diversely. This is because you can see the articles poured out from a more objective point of view than in Korea.

One of the most memorable incidents was the political fund scandal of the ruling Japanese party that took over the government. Quite accidentally (?), the whereabouts of the negative funds run by the ruling party members of the House of Representatives were discovered by the media.

I remember that the amount of political funds discovered at that time was about 100 million dollars. In any case, the political system is on the verge of collapse due to a rare political fund scandal involving even the Japanese Prime Minister.

However, even after the incident broke out, only the ruling party and the powerless opposition party, who had no intention of letting go of the government, continued to quarrel, and the Japanese economy itself became an opportunity for rapid collapse. In addition to that, the continuous natural disasters overlap, and in the end…

Obviously, this case has something to do with it. Then it was calculated that at least 200 million dollars could be intercepted.

He didn’t even believe that the media had revealed all of the hidden political funds. From a minimum of 2x to a maximum of 10x…

It is polite to eat blind money without an owner first. Cheol-woo smiled and pressed the accelerator of the car.

“Heh, you made this yangban savory.”

McKay gasped as he skimmed through the materials in his office. After receiving the call from Cheol-Woo, he became curious, so he found out about Thomas Grace.

After so much painstaking search for data, the conclusion he came to was the feeling of ‘envy’.

Thomas was rolling other people’s money just like himself. However, McKay’s actions, exposed to the supervision of the water owners, had no choice but to be passive.

But Thomas was not afraid to invest. It was like he was touching the black money of the giants, but no one touched him because of his magnificence or stature.

So his investments have always been risky. His investment method of robbing three times and recovering several times the previous loss with one success was a method that McKay could not even dare to dare.

“Damn, if only I could be given this degree of freedom…. Whoa!”

It’s just a vain thought. People praised him as a tycoon, but in front of money, everyone was just a moron.

So, he may be more attracted to a young man named Bei. His actions were always unstoppable, and he was full of confidence that he could recover quickly if he failed. He entrusted his account with him, but he never asked how he would invest.

“By the way, this gentleman is also in a lot of trouble. That’s why I’m even more at a loss…”

Since the economy is not doing well in the world, even negative funds could not make much profit. However, customers who have deposited their money have always demanded an endless amount of dividends.

That’s what it was like to be in a position to roll other people’s money. Meeting the needs of people who don’t even know anything about finance and barely meeting the budget.

Others thought he was making a lot of money, but it was a business with little leftovers. I have to keep filling the drained poison of those called water drinkers with water.

Then, eventually, it came off. Thomas lost his capital due to repeated investment failures.

His main business, casinos and hotels, has been invaded by Macau and other emerging countries in Southeast Asia. Customers unaware of such circumstances would have kept whining for a higher dividend.

“It just means that Chinese capital has approached. As if knowing his circumstances… Huh!”

Looking at the data, the ‘Shanghai Bang’ was clear. When the media and the public think of China, they think of a single force.

But from a money and political point of view, they are divided into several groups. The power that held and shook China in the past was the ‘Shanghai Bang’, and the power that held power today was the ‘Prince’s Bang’.

Although he has been pushed out of power now, it was the Shanghai Bang that accumulated a huge amount of money in the hammock. The Crown Prince’s side was rushing to eat it.

In order to avoid the Crown Prince’s plunder, Shanghai Bang was diligently diverting his fortune abroad. Just like in the past, Chiang Kai-shek fled to Taiwan.

The current base of such Shanghai Bang was Hong Kong. After leaving Shanghai, they set up a new base in Hong Kong.

But it didn’t last long either. So the Shanghai Bang, thinking about the future, came into contact with Thomas.

To Thomas, whose money line was dry, it was like a sudden heavy rain from the sky. After reloading the bullet, Thomas made a mistake as he was excited about his aggressive money rolls.

Approximately 11 billion Japanese political funds suddenly floated to the surface. A pro did something like an amateur.

“It would be better to say that I suffered a loss. It has become an outsider who can neither take it off nor put it on. Ttttttttt!”

McKay offered his silent condolences to him for doing what a black money man should never do. While he was alarmed that he never knew when he might face such a thing.

But he was unaware that all his actions were being monitored. And the fact that the Warrior was looking at all the materials he had seen.

***

[I found a useful resource from McKay.]

Cheol-woo was on his way to the Pharaoh Hotel next to Incheon International Airport. President Baek had contacted him that all the Japanese children he had placed under surveillance had headed there.

The hotel had a casino that just opened. It was decided and built for the largest scale in the East, and it was gradually expanding.

Like a casino tycoon, Thomas decided to stay at a hotel with a casino. It was reported that the Warrior had captured information while running to the destination.

‘What is that?’

[Thomas seems to have contacted the ‘Shanghai Bang’ forces in China. They are trying to escape the silence and take their hidden wealth abroad.]

‘Did Thomas ask for that?’

‘How big is it?’

[An exact estimate is not available. At the present time, it is estimated to be around 30 billion dollars.]

‘This is what McKay found. He also had that kind of ability. So, did you find out why Japanese kids are doing this?’

[As you guessed, it seems like a ploy to bury the whereabouts of political funds.]

‘This is tail cutting. Huh, what a man! You’re just enjoying the sweetness. What is the size of your funds?’

[Only what has been revealed is worth 11 billion dollars.]

‘Five! The amount jumps tenfold at once.’

It was 10 times the amount paid in the article before the return. How much more may be hidden behind it.

‘Warrior, call Linda!’

[···The phone is connected.]

I just got on the phone with her. He must have just gotten off the plane.

“Oh, bay! I’m just now getting a call. I was constantly moving from country to country, so I didn’t have time to roam. I’m sorry, babe!”

“Linda, listen to what I have to say first. Where are you now?”

“This hotel is next to Incheon International Airport. My name is… Pharaoh. Ho Ho! There was a problem with the private plane, so I took a regular airliner.”

“Which room are you staying in?”

“…well, it’s a grand deluxe pool villa. The night view overlooking the sea is really beautiful.”

“If anything happens, don’t come out and just stay in the room. I’ll find you right away. Understand?”

“Bay, what’s wrong? Are you coming to see me right now? Dad is also very curious about you…

Suddenly, an explosion sounded over the phone. At the same time, her screams also exploded.

“Linda? Hello, Linda!”

[Signal is cut off.]

As he approached the airport on the Incheon Bridge, a splendid fireworks rose to his left. There was the Pharaoh Hotel where Linda was staying, facing the sea.

As we approached the hotel, the size of the flames increased. On one side of the building, built in the shape of a ‘Y’, flames were burning from below and gradually rising upwards.

“If you can see the night view, it must be on the top floor of the building on the burning side.”

There are not many pool villas with private pools, even in hotels. Besides, if it’s a deluxe, it’s probably one or two at most.

[Currently, there is only one deluxe pool villa on the upper floor of the burning building.]

The Warrior showed the structure of the hotel through a search. She had only one place for Linda to stay.

Cheol-woo hurriedly parked the car on the edge of the outside of the parking lot. The hotel parking lot had already become a mess.

An unknown explosion destroyed the first floor of one of the three sides. And the fire was getting stronger and spreading upstairs.

A fire engine has not yet arrived from the nearby fire department. Now, if a report is received, it will arrive in at least 5 minutes.

“Warrior, find the best point to penetrate the target in the opposite building of the ‘Y’ shape.”

“I found it.”

A blue line was drawn over the structure of the building reflected in the retina. The perspective of the structural diagram was changed and the three-dimensional height was displayed.

The point the Warrior found was the rooftop opposite the burning building. There was another pool villa that was smaller than the deluxe.

“Find the emergency escape rope inside the hotel.”

“Show . . .”

Fortunately, a place to store the rope was included in the penetration route. That is how much time can be bought.

Still in a cluttered atmosphere, I ran towards the central lobby. He looked surprised and no one stopped him on the first floor because of people trying to get out.

The elevators leading up to the first floor lobby were all full of people. All the guests were taking shelter outside for fear that the fire might spread all the way to here. The hotel’s security guards were only controlling the direction in case of an accident due to the unmanageable queue of guests.

Cheol-woo had no choice but to go up the stairs to the roof. While going through the hallway to the place where the emergency stairs were, Cheol-woo saw a loud billboard.

“Is there a casino in the basement here?”

[Yes, there is a casino that is being expanded with the goal of becoming the largest casino in Asia.]

“Who is the water master?”

[This is a joint venture of multinational funds, but only Daeyoung Group manages it.]

“So Hwaryeong got the information and called. Then the casino…?”

[Ownership of the casino has not yet been revealed. However, based on McKay’s data, it seems that Thomas Grace was directly involved, and most of it is operated with Japanese funds.]

“…and that’s why Thomas made his lodging here …”

In such a situation, it would be correct to think that Thomas brought them here, rather than a surprise attack by the Japanese forces. Perhaps he was preparing himself.

If Thomas was directly involved in the casino here, there was no reason for him to be interested in the complex shopping mall project. Rather, it would be better for him to ruin the project.

“However, she only showed an active interest in her daughter’s words.”

He had no reason to be interested. Unless he intends to invest his own money and shut down the business that is doing well now . . .

“If we blow up here, will the Japanese side suffer? Warrior, is there any explosives or potentially explosive substances in the basement of this building…”

[A large amount of flammable material was captured in the lowermost layer. Even before entering the building, an unknown communication disturbance radio wave has already occurred, and all communication is paralyzed. Thanks to this, it is no longer possible to remotely detonate it.]

“Did Japanese kids use their hands? Just in case you don’t know, can you disrupt communication here one more time?”

[…] local communication disturbance has been implemented.

“Well done. Warriors! Whoa!”

[It was nothing···.]

Thomas used his own daughter as bait as well. He must have taken advantage of the commotion and tried to blow it all the way here.

Cheol-woo thought about how to deal with this cute guy. Then he walked down the stairs at a maddening speed.
