Sooho Chapter 226: < Protect – Episode 216 – Russian Roulette [3]

Chapter 226: < Protect – Episode 216 – Russian Roulette [3] >

The world was still being dominated by n.

There were 100 tis more successful n than won. It was possible another 100 years was needed for the gender ratio to equal out. For that reason, there was no need to despise won that relied on their man. That was just another ans of survival.

“If you just provide vodka and won, Russians are completely satisfied. It’s like second nature to them. As long as they like alcohol and a woman to sleep with, they don’t care if the world goes to shit.”

Eric Rupee minded Alexa while saying what he needed to. Ahn Soo Ho asked what the current issues were in Europe and Eric chugged so water in order to sober up.

“Issues? I doubt you’re interested in terror... How about Russia’s trends?”

“That’s your issue, Eric.”

“I can never trick you.”

The reason why the French businessman, Eric Rupee, was in Czech was because he was inford that there would be a big deal in Prague.

“Russia is getting ready for sothing.”

“Like what?”

“The rumors are uncertain... but as far as I know, Moscow is completely interested in Arica.”

“Arica?”

“Because Washington’s problem is the world’s problem.”

The forr strong nations would probably deny it, but Washington D.C.’s decisions were the standard for global business. Not even France, Russia, and China could deny that.

“After all, Russia’s choices depend on who the White House belongs to.”

“Political maneuvering?”

“It’s hard from the national level. CIA isn’t so stupid that they would just watch that happen. But it’s different for civilians. In any case, lobbying is legal in the States.”

Other countries couldn’t copy Arica’s politics even if they wanted. That was because it ca with too much risk. It was like political FTA. If lobbying was legal, global conglorates would have obtained all the authority in the world. Arica’s political and diplomatic confidence ca from their outstanding economic ability.

Many thought that even if they used lobbying, Arican companies would be at the top, anyway. And that wasn’t an exaggeration. After lobbying beca legal in Arica, the politics no longer took the stance of Arica only. Whether they liked it or not, other companies in the world had to pour lobbying funds into Washington D.C.

However, political support funds from anyone other than Aricans were banned. This was a skill of God. In order for a foreigner to have as much influence on Arican politics, they needed additional safety equipnt, and that assisted in job creation for Aricans.

In order to pose influence, they had to employ an Arican attorney in order to make political contributions. In the end, they had to use Aricans.

“Pitch Stone.”

“Good.”

Stone Average was a bank, investnt firm, and a research organization. The lobbyists of the civilian level mostly belonged to the Whites, and the walls built to protect their ho country’s industries also had an underlying political objective.

Ahn Soo Ho shook his head.

“So what do they have to do with Russia and Sluski?”

Eric sobered up and ca back to his senses.

“Who do you think benefited from rcedes’ downfall?”

“You?”

“Well, I did, too. But there are many who got even bigger slices of the pie.”

As soon as the European human trafficking group split up, the first to mobilize was the pimps.

“When the big ones disappear, the small ones take over.”

Eric took another sip of his water and gestured at Ahn Soo Ho. He told him to follow him. Eric’s guards were shocked to see Ahn Soo Ho, but he recognized soone.

“Bain.”

“Soo Ho.”

He greeted him with a nervous look on his face.

“North Mist must be hot these days.”

“I heard the ones who left Aragon joined North Mist. So we quickly extended our contracts.”

Ahn Soo Ho nodded. This was why he knew Eric was a smart man. He never used all his force. It was human nature to have all the power that a person had at his or her disposal, and that was why organizations with power wanted to fight each other.

As soon as power beca saturated among powerful nations, all that was left was for war to happen. It was luckily rare for big countries to fight each other, but it was different in the black market.

Ahn Soo Ho and Eric continued to speak in a luxury sedan.

“Where did I leave off, Soo Ho?”

“rcedes.”

“Oh, sorry. I must be getting old.”

Eric laughed.

“You probably already know why EU tried to get rid of Yusef. Right, Soo Ho?”

Yuself, who made the fantasies of powerful European n co true, knew too many secrets for his own good. That was what led Yusef to hell.

“He didn’t know how to restrain himself.”

“Like you?”

“Haha. I’ll take that as a complint. In any case, Yusef didn’t know when to stop.”

He used the sex scandals of powerful n and threatened them to get what he wanted. People thought Europeans didn’t care about sex-related issues, but there were many conservative people as well. And they were the ones that possessed the true power.

“But there wasn’t a big problem. Since sex scandals is a private issue, they were left to resolve it on their own.”

That wasn’t enough for EU to try to get rid of Yusef themselves. However, he didn’t stop there. And he crossed a line that he shouldn’t have.

“Yusef didn’t know how to control himself, but he was quite the man himself.”

He was cussed at for being dumb, but Yusef knew how to lead. He had co too far to laugh at him as if he was just a criminal.

“Now that you’re married, you probably understand, Soo Ho. Wives are... scary.”

Ahn Soo Ho smirked at Eric’s remark.

“You can’t trick them.”

“And to wives, there’s no such thing as national secrets.”

Ahn Soo Ho figured out what he was trying to say. Just like how n were able to provide won, it worked the other way around as well. Beautiful won were sent to powerful n while handso n were sent to powerful won.

That was how it worked.

And Yusef provided the sa kind of service to powerful won.

“Then what about Sluski?”

“Andre Sluski...”

Eric trailed off before continuing.

“He’s another kind of penis hunter.”

******

The gun battle in Czech soon beca known to the world. The Prague gun battle following the one in Berlin made half of the Europeans give up. Europe couldn’t spend a single day in silence. What was funnier was that after just a week, the streets bustled again as if nothing happened.

The West is in chaos! Get rid of your fantasies about Europe! #BerlinExplosion #PragueAttack #Europe

I don’t know why people love Europe so much!

I hate people who dream of going backpacking in Europe!

They’ll wake up once they get kidnapped on the streets!

All travel bloggers are just working with travel agencies and airlines! But the reality is the opposite! I almost got hit by a car while hitchhiking in Arica!

It’s best to travel with packages! If you go by yourself, you’ll get robbed! Especially you wenches! All you care about is taking selfies for Instagram! But if you do that, you’ll get into big trouble!

I’m pretty sure lots of Koreans have gone missing before.

Co to think of it, what happened to Han Kyung Il? I heard he’s being punished or sothing.

Seriously? But the France governnt asked to have Han Kyung Il back! They said if they don’t, they won’t return our cultural assets!

I think Ahn Soo Ho is trying to screw over the foreign office.

He’s saying they’ll die if they ss with his friend! So loyal!

What’s with the private party that Ahn Soo Ho attended in Hamburg? #MissBrazil #MissUniverse #AliceBody

Apparently, it’s a party for only VVIPS! The only person in our country who could go is Kim Dae San!

I didn’t know such upper-class parties were held in Germany! I thought they were all laborers that work hard!

Just because Germany is apologizing for the Nazis doesn’t an they’re weak!

Germany is a leading country in Europe!

Really? What about Japan?

Japan sucked up to Germany a lot during the 2nd World War. If you go to Japan, there are lots of crazies on the streets! If Europeans saw it, they would be dumbstruck!

Isn’t Japan the most recognized in Europe compared to us and China?

Japan is definitely more famous! And China is famous for bad reasons!

If Europeans hear Korea, they’ll probably think of North Korea.

What about K-Pop? I heard they’re taking over Europe! Is it a lie?

Only losers like K-Pop!

Wake up, people! To be honest, what does our country have to offer? So the governnt and national assembly should really get it together!

I want to move to Erald City. Is there a way?

I saw an ad for that. For an Erald mbership? Apparently, the Hosoo Group employees can only get charged mberships!

Charged? They’re selling citizenships?

I heard it’s not like that. It has nothing to do with nationality!

But it doesn’t look good that he made his friend the premier.

Who? Are you talking about Kim Min Shik? I think he was the best choice! I’m sure he at least has a conscience!

What’s the point in whistleblowing? The ones that should’ve been punished are living their lives like normal! The reason why Ahn Soo Ho renounced his citizenship is because he knew nothing was going to change! I would have done the sa!

Since he has money and a beautiful wife, he doesn’t need a nationality.

Bastards with no conscience! How can anyone abandon their country? Our ancestors are probably raging right now!

While Europe was in chaos, the Korean peninsula was surprisingly peaceful. The Bridal Mask trial was still in the preparation stages and the stock market paused due to Ahn Soo Ho’s absence, but things were bound to rebound, eventually. However, Hosoo Entertainnt Group’s Daniel Navarros made an announcent that shocked the market.

Hosoo Investnts to sell governnt bonds to raise cash!

Hosoo Investnts to begin stock sales!

Hosoo Investnts sells 1.8 trillion won in one day!

Director Navarros made investnts for the good of the Erald Plan! He refuses to buy them back!

Shock and fear!

Considering the Korean stock market, digesting Hosoo Investnts’ stocks was too much to handle. As soon as the topic of Hosoo Group moving abroad ca back to the surface, Oh Joo Kyung stepped up to refute it in an interview. But the reality was that the problem was not going to be resolved overnight.

Both the governnt and civilians lost it.

Both the governnt and financial institutions asked Hosoo Investnts to clarify, but the answer was always the sa.

‘Securing funds for the Erald City Developnts!’

They promised to sell so that it wouldn’t affect the Korean stock market too much, but that was easier said than done. Once an investor turned their back, it was hard to change their mind. In any case, as soon as the stocks ca out on the market, the top 30 heirs were busy buying.

It was good at first.

But as the amount Hosoo Investnts poured out exceeded 30 trillion after a week, they knew sothing was up. Daniel Navarros then made another shocking announcent.

Hosoo Investnts to close down!

Hosoo Investnts’ employees to move to wealth managent!

Hosoo Investnts to withdraw from the Korean stock market!

Director Navarros states that the owner ordered him to expand the security departnt to prepare for the shaky circumstances in the rest of the world! They have decided to withdraw from the Korean stock market!

They weren’t transferring yet, but they made a more shocking announcent. Most importantly, Ahn Soo Ho announced it through Daniel Navarros’ lips.

‘We will expand our rcenary numbers to 100,000 for the city’s police and military force!’

It wasn’t 10,000, but 100,000. He called them rcenaries, but they were no different from soldiers. Both Korea and the world raged.

This is crazy!

100,000 rcenaries!

If you want peace, prepare for war!

Is this for real? I can’t believe this world!

Is there a need to hire that many? What if a rebellion takes place?

Like a coup d’etat? That’s crazy! Both rcenaries and politicians have no power in front of Ahn Soo Ho!

Wow! I can’t believe this! They might get founded as a nation at this rate!

Will the other countries just let this happen?

China, Japan, and Russia are welcoming it! Arica is also supporting him for the good of world peace!

Wow! That was fast! As soon as Director Navarros made his announcent! This was definitely discussed ahead of ti!

But the issue didn’t go on for long.

That was because a cold wave ca from the winter countries.

‘Following the terrorist attacks in Europe, Europe’s five will be inspected for terror prevention!’

In other words, they were going to block the natural gas pipeline that went through Europe. It was different from similar events in the past because rather than just locking access, they were going to implent a filtering system.

In that case, it couldn’t just be unlocked at any ti. In order to remove the safety equipnt and get it running again, it would take at least 2 months.

The EU imdiately made an announcent.

‘This is unacceptable! If gas supply is cut off, we will take it as a declaration of war!’

Europe vs. Asia

Against Russia vs. For Russia

As the clouds of war ca out, Ahn Soo Ho Spoke with a woman that seed older than Caroline.

“Has it been 7 years since I’ve last seen you, Soo Ho?”

“Yeah.”

Armidan Milosevic.

If Ahn Soo Ho had to pick the most powerful woman in Russia, he would have picked her. Aside from Vitali, she also got the closest to the depths of Moscow.

“I felt sad that you didn’t invite to your wedding.”

“Sorry.”

Milosevic wasn’t a na that won usually had. In the Soviet Union, most took their father’s surna, so she had a female surna as well. But since she wanted to seem powerful like a man, she didn’t worry about surnas.

“I guess you’re here... because of Andre.”

“Where is he?”

Armidan sighed deeply.

“How much do I have to pay you to get you to forgive him?”

“I have enough money.”

“Hm. Then what about land?”

“I hate the cold.”

She looked troubled in response.

“Can you please just forgive him?”

“Why should I do that?”

Armidan sighed once more to Ahn Soo Ho’s resistance.

“Moscow needs him.”

“You’re trying to use him to ss with Arica, right?”

“I won’t deny it.”

Sluski learned all about how to conduct human trafficking and prostitution while working with Yusef.

“No nuclear wars.”

“That won’t happen, Soo Ho. We’re not stupid.”

“Have you negotiated with Arica?”

“Sowhat.”

There were tons of Yankees that wanted to rob Europe of everything. Ahn Soo Ho stared at her and then nodded.

“Okay.”

“Does that an you won’t kill him, Soo Ho?”

“Yeah. So bring him here.”

“Why?”

“I have to ask him sothing.”

She gestured for the secretary to get him, and within 5 minutes, the man in question appeared.

Andre Sluski

The legendary spy and hunter.

“Soo Ho.”

“We’re not close enough to address each other by the first na.”

“Don’t be like that. Let’s be friendly.”

He had been told that Ahn Soo Ho wasn’t going to kill him. They were on uncomfortable terms, but he had never seen him go back on his promises.

“Andre!”

In response to Armidan’s frown, Andre lowered his head.

“I’m sorry, Soo Ho. If he says any more nonsense, just kill him.”

What she said made him flinch, and Ahn Soo Ho just smirked. Armidan gestured for him to ask him whatever he wanted.

“Why are you going after old Hector?”

“Hector? Oh, Garcia. Because Red Shield paid millions of money.”

“Why?”

“They want sothing he has. But I had no idea the old man wouldn’t co out of the detention center after we confined a recruit.”

“What do they want?”

“Uh, a black box, I think. But no one knows what that is.”

Ahn Soo Ho’s lips twitched. There was only one black box he could think of.

“Is that all?”

“There is one more request.”

“A request?”

Andre looked at Armidan and she nodded.

“He has so of Yusef’s secret ledger.”

“What does that have to do with Red Shield?”

He smiled in response to Ahn Soo Ho’s question.

“Who do you think Yusef supported?”

“Rothschild?”

“Banks never do business that would result in a loss.”

Ahn Soo Ho nodded.

When he took on the EU’s request and brought rcedes down, there was one question remaining in his head. He didn’t know about France and Germany, but it was weird that England cooperated.

“Pilgrim Heyward.”

Andre almost clapped to Ahn Soo Ho’s mumbling but stopped when he noticed Armidan’s frown.

“So... this is between banks.”

“Whether they go over to a new system or they remain with the old system.”

Armidan then spoke up.

“Which side is Russia on?”

“Whoever wins.”

“They’re a bunch of brats.”

“That’s how much chaos is ensuing in the world, Soo Ho. I can’t say you’re not responsible.”

“Bullshit.”

He got all that he wanted.

Ahn Soo Ho got up from his seat. He turned away from Armidan’s smiling face and apologized to Armidan in advance.

“Forgive .”

Bang-

A bullet went right through the wall and pierced Andre’s skull. Armidan was covered in blood after that, but she didn’t make a single sound.

She stared at Ahn Soo Ho.

“Soo Ho?”

“Sorry. But it’s not like I went back on my promise.”

“Soo Ho!”

He handed her a business card in response to her growling.

“Call this number.”

She could be useful for Eric Rupee.

“He’ll provide you with the services you want. I promise.”

Ahn Soo Ho turned away without waiting for her response and whispered into his walkie-talkie.

“Good kill.”

Yeah!

Alexa probably thought she made a good shot, but the bullet almost missed the head. If he hadn’t interfered, it would have missed entirely. It was more difficult to change the direction of a bullet than to block it completely.

‘That was close.’
