Chapter 178: < Protect – Episode 177 – Ahn Da Sol vs. Trash Disposal Group [2] >
“What are you doing?”
“Huh? I’m thinking of how to get the most out of my brother.”
“Tell him to buy you a house.”
“Come on! That’s too much. Anyway, were you just talking to him?”
“Yeah.”
“Then let’s get going.”
“I actually have other plans. Go on with Alexa.”
“What plans? Do you have a date?”
“Yeah. Maybe?”
“What? Really?”
Lee So Hye was startled by Ahn Da Sol’s unexpectedly serious response.
“Who is it?”
“It’s not a serious relationship. Just a fling.”
Just like Ahn Da Sol who lived abroad for a long time, Emily and Rachel weren’t hesitant about having casual boyfriends either. In most cases, Korean idols weren’t allowed to date or at least a few years after debut, but that rule didn’t apply to Fantastic 4. However, that didn’t mean they liked to date around. In contrast to their image as foreigners, they were quite conservative.
“Be careful not to get photographed.”
“You’re not opposing.”
“Yeah, well... that’s your choice.”
Ahn Da Sol clicked her tongue at her leader’s easy-going response.
‘This is why blood runs thicker than water.’
Lee So Hye and Ahn Soo Ho were certainly brother and sister. Ahn Da Sol then walked off while humming once again.
‘A date? I guess it’s something like that.’
However, it was likely going to be a meeting of two bullets. While she lived as Kumiko, she endured all sorts of humiliation. Perfect camouflage was a major part of her life, and it wasn’t easy living as a skilled Japanese woman. Japan hosted both racism and sexism more than any other powerful nation in the world.
In Japan, they considered rape as the woman’s mistake.
The reason why they kept quiet about rape was because they didn’t think of it as a crime. Does it make sense for the culprit to be confident and for the victim to be criticized? However, that was what happened. They had no right to diss Islams and their honor killings. In Japan, the customs were always more favorable for men.
‘But there is one condition.’
When it came to men with money and power, they were allowed to have multiple women without being criticized. On the contrary, they considered it an achievement. Despite what people said, Japan was still a country with many rich people. Since they valued cash more than credit cards, they had quite the underground economy, and their private money market was especially large. Japan’s main export wasn’t Toyota or Playstation.
It was loans.
Money lending companies were Japan’s main export. There wasn’t a single country without Japanese funding. Even the great China had a lot of Japanese yen going into their country. Many even joked about how 1/3 of Shanghai belonged to Japan following China’s reformation because that was how powerful Japanese money was in all of Asia.
Was it because the Japanese financial system was superior? Not at all.
The reason why Japanese funds were superior was because after the 20th century, it sat and was passed down for a long time. In that sense, there was a difference between pro-Japanese and those knowledgable about Japan. Koreans and Chinese didn’t like this, but since the 19th century, Japan was the only Asian country that stood a chance against the West. They were the first to modernize in Asia, and they were certainly in the lead.
Learn from Japan!
Emulate Japan!
Japan’s plan of modernization in the 20th century spread to scholars all over Asia. Many countries of Asia used Japan as a model to develop their nations, and many scholars and businessmen of Japan used the world as a stage.
And America was no exception.
Countless Japanese crossed the ocean and settled down in America. There were positive economic effects suiting of the hard-working image of the Japanese, but considering the Caucasian’s perception of colored people at the time, they were probably treated like working ants. In today’s world, they were at a similar level as China, but in the 20th century, Japan was a strong nation representing all of Asia.
After the fall of the Japanese empire, the Chinese Communist Party thought they got rid of England, Japan, and America’s profits, but they were just waiting their time. That was because if China hadn’t rushed their reform, they would have been eaten alive by Hong Kong. Hong Kong’s economic power at the time was a good way of pressuring the leaders of the Chinese Communist Party.
Most thought that the Chinese Communist Party put the golden egg in the hands of the goose in return for Hong Kong’s return. However, those who knew the truth couldn’t say that. The reason why public safety couldn’t catch Chairman Hwang Chi Rin even after he tricked the mainland and fired missiles was because they needed capital.
‘Today’s Chinese economy wasn’t brought about with just the Chinese Communist Party’s efforts alone.’
The influence of Hong Kong capital on the Chinese economy was bigger than what analysts predicted, and some of that influence came from Japan. There was talk about how overseas Chinese controlled South East Asia’s economy, but those rumors were exaggerated.
‘Among the overseas Chinese we know, there are many with unknown origins.’
They were likely to be Chinese traitors who escaped the Chinese Communist Party’s purge following the downfall of the Japanese empire. They were Chinese on one hand, but not really on the other hand. The Chinese Communist Party probably wanted to hide this, but there were actually many overseas Chinese who were going against China.
China’s stamina was weak compared to its weight.
They said they were as strong as America, but if the White House decided to beat them up to a pulp, Beijing had no choice but to surrender. The reason why the Chinese Communist Party insisted their supremacy in North-East Asia but couldn’t act on their words toward America was because whether it was regarding economy, military, or diplomacy, they still lacked confidence.
Ahn Da Sol went to the secret house she had near her place. As someone who was an expert in camouflage, creating a new identity for herself was a piece of cake. For women, just changing up their makeup transformed their image. Ahn Da Sol, who transformed from a pure and sexy high school student to a woman with a hot body, put on some sharp heels and stood in front of the mirror.
“Hm, not bad.”
She liked the youthful school uniform, but she didn’t mind getting the gazes of thirsty men either. Just as Ahn Soo Ho predicted, her supernatural power was mutilation and deformation. However, that didn’t mean she could change genders either. Kumiko looked like a girl, Ahn Da Sol was a middle school student, and this time, she transformed into a woman with a killer body sexier than that of Miss Brazil.
If a beautiful woman with a killer body walked by, it was hard for people of any gender to not stop and stare.
“Wow!”
The exclamations came out naturally.
Some even took out their phones and took photos. Ahn Da Sol didn’t mind. She actually enjoyed the attention. Even the cars were starting to pass by more slowly. Ahn Da Sol ignored all of this and took out her phone.
“Hey, it’s me.”
She only said a few words. 5 minutes later, a fancy sports car arrived and she got in.
“Oh.”
This time, people exclaimed in disappointment.
‘Shit! All beautiful women are already taken!’
‘How much money do you need to date someone like that?’
That was a clear misperception.
That was because the Lamborghini she got into was hers. The man in the driver’s seat was just her driver. The sports car made a loud noise and drove off into the distance. Ahn Da Sol put out her hand as soon as she got in, and the driver handed her a thick pile of documents.
“I heard Altu is in the country.”
“Yes, Ma’am. I was going to brief you on that.”
“You’re late.”
“You can’t compare me to Kosino. Not only does she have Mr. Guardian’s support, but they have Cranky on their side, too.”
He complained in a very sad voice.
“Okay, fine. What about the Bridal Mask Corps?”
“It’s on the first page.”
Ahn Da Sol went through the documents.
“Shay Leeper?”
“It appears that Mr. Guardian won him over.”
“Wasn’t he... an anti-wizard?”
“People usually realize something great when they’re on the brink of death. Oh, and I think the high master is connected as well.”
“Who?”
“Issac.”
“I can’t believe this. Does Soo Ho know?”
“He must. It’s possible that declaring complete neutrality was a way of sending them a warning.”
United Industries Alliance often explicitly tempted the queen of mutation.
“Why did he suddenly create Bridal Mask? I don’t think it was to just get rid of Korea National Association and the Comradery Association.”
“Probably not. If Mr. Guardian wanted them gone, they would have been on the same day.”
Just getting rid of the middle management alone made it hard for them to avoid collapse.
“Then what is it?”
“Maybe he wants them to surrender to their fears. Leeper wiped out the executives but kept Lee Ji Heon alive. That’s a very special case. Even though he deeply humiliated Mr. Guardian when he was young, he wasn’t killed.”
Korea National Association and the Comradery Association didn’t know this, but they were quite famous among the foreign intelligence agencies. They were famous for being foolish and not selecting their men properly.
“So why is that?”
“Angelica, do you see him as someone with some superior fate? He just happens to have more strength than others. In other words... he’s just human. There’s no reason for him to run amok.”
Nicholas Cha, also known as Cha In Tae didn’t understand Angelica. Ahn Soo Ho’s abilities were shocking, but the thought that he would win in a fight against the world all by himself was a delusion.
‘I get why Mr. Guardian is treated like strategic arms, but the results of war don’t depend on one strategic arm. The reason why the world is leaving him alone is because they don’t want to take responsibility.’
If Ahn Soo Ho fought against the world, he would lose everything, and his opponents would lose even more. Heritage, which rules over the black market, didn’t want to run into Ahn Soo Ho. Why? Because if they faced off, they knew they would lose much more than he would.
‘Keeping face doesn’t put food on the table.’
As soon as the sports car stopped, Ahn Da Sol got out. Before closing the door, she popped her head in and whispered.
“You don’t know him.”
She slammed the door shut without hearing his answer. She heard grumbling behind her, but she didn’t mind it. As soon as a stunning woman appeared in front of the hotel, men were instantly riled up. Ahn Da Sol went inside the hotel and got on the lift. When the door opened, she saw a carpeted hallway.
Room 1210,
She knocked on the door. Then a man resembling a monkey poked his head out.
“What is it?”
He scanned Ahn Da Sol up and down and then shouted toward the inside of the room.
“Hey! Did someone call a call girl? Just admit it already!”
“Not me! Did the team leader call her?”
“Maybe. Nobuhisa sure is nice, but why is the whore so hot?”
They threw all kinds of insults about Korean women at her, but she didn’t bat an eyelash. The snickering monkey stared at Ahn Da Sol once more and then closed the door to unlock it. As soon as he opened it again, it wasn’t her big breasts but a cold piece of steel that poked through.
“Gasp, ugh!”
The knife went right through his neck, so he couldn’t even let out a scream. Blood then flowed out like water. Ahn Da Sol pushed him back and entered the room.
‘Three, four, seven?’
Seven people staying in one room? As soon as she pulled out the silencer gun from her shopping bag, the men in the living room were right in front of her. It didn’t even take a single breath for the bullets to go through their eyeballs.
Thud, thud- Thud, thud-
They all died instantly. Ahn Da Sol was looking at the dead bodies on the ground when she remembered something.
“Oh! I almost forgot.”
She put on the mask that she brought, and before she hopped over to the next room, she faced the CCTV camera and blew a kiss.
“I love you!”
