Chapter 100

Chapter 100: Meeting (5)

The number of Chinese government was 86. All cities had its specific regional code, with 10 being Peking as Bak Jongse had said. If that was true, then it was likely that Chun Yusung’s group was residing at Peking. Although it was no more the capital after the fall of People’s Republic of China, it wasn’t clear why they chose such big city.

“What should we do?”

Bak Jongse asked, and Chun Yeowun glanced at Kin Oyun. It seemed it was normal for her to contact them, as she was given the contact number but something was amiss. Chun Yeowun looked back to Bak Jongse.

“Can you pretend?”

“Pardon?”

“You just need to do as I say.”

As such, Bak Jongse was chosen to make the call. He began calling with his flexible smartphone. He seemed tense as he realized he was given an important task, but as he was trained spy, it was likely that he was going to do the job well.

Chun Yeowun then reached out and touched the smartphone’s back glass with his finger.

‘Huh?’

Bak Jongse looked at him with confused look, but the call went through at that moment.

-Night time, is Shumai! Shumai is all you need, and all you need is at Ochon…

“Say what?”

The voice was an advertisement recording. It seemed to be a some kind of Shumai specializing restaurant that he had never heard of. Bak Jongse thought they made a wrong call and looked at Chun Yeowun.

It was then. When the music was finished, person’s voice was heard.

-Hello. This is Ochon Shumai.

The woman over the phone sounded just like a typical owner of such restaurant.

‘Maybe the number changed…?’

But Bak Jongse quickly changed his mind. He remembered that they too was in situation that they can’t reveal themselves easily. There was no way they will reveal themselves at the moment of call.

‘What do I have to say?’

But he had heard nothing from his mother regarding such conversation. While thinking, a voice came over from the phone.

-If you are undecided of what to choose, you can call us back bit later.

‘Dammit. Here I go.’

There was no other way anymore.

“Current clan leader of Pure Kick Clan, Bak…”

The phone then hung up before he can finish, then was transferred. Not soon after, a thick and low voice of a man was heard from.

-Who are you?

The voice was heard through the speaker phone, and Kin Oyun nodded. It was Captain Ko’s voice for sure. Bak Jongse spoke.

“Are you captain Ko Wanghyun?”

-…And who are you to ask such thing? And how do you know this number?

He seemed to be growing suspicious. Bak Jongse thought for what to say for a second, when Chun Yeowun sent telepathic message to say what he needed to say.

“I am Bak Jongse, the current clan leader of Pure Kick Clan. My mother left the number 24, 32, 94, 83, 13, 52, 63, 103, 26, 49 with a book, that I looked it up and called.”

-…And your mother’s name?

“Her name is Kin Oyun.”

The voice over the phone became silent for a while. After about 7 second of silence, the voice started again.

-The number you just called was only known to your mother. We cannot reveal ourselves in public, so please understand that.

“I understand.”

-We don’t have time, so let’s make it short. Tell me why you have called.

It seemed he wasn’t available to talk long period of time over the phone. Bak Jongse organized what to say from what Yeowun had said to him with telepathic message and spoke.

“There is a problem. My mother was captured by Public Security Bureau.”

-What?

“Luckily, I was able to rescue my mother amongst chaos when the Gate at Simyang City opened. But as soon as the Warning is lifted, I will be chased down by the PSB.”

-Hmph…

Ko Wanghyun seemed shocked by what he had heard. He seemed to think that the situation was worse than he hoped for. Ko Wanghyun then spoke to him.

-…I want to help you if I can, but your clan- Pure Kick clan have decided to cut ties with us- no, with our clan. I am not sure if you have heard from your mother.

‘Ugh.’

Bak Jongse frowned. He had pretended he was in danger, but he didn’t think that Ko Wanghyun will choose the group over former cultist brother’s safety. But of course, this too was expected.

“Captain Ko. We are in very dire situation. If you help us this time, I swore that I will serve Chun Yusung as my lord. It is a promise from the current clan leader of Pure Kick Clan.”

Bak Jongse threw the bait right away. The declare of support from one of twelve high class clan was what they had wanted from before. Even if said clan had declared to cut ties in the past, this was why they have left the contact for that hope. The reaction came right away.

-…Does your mother agrees with your choice?

“My mother had gone through hardship while she was in hands of PSB. Although she is not all too comfortable, she agreed to respect my choice.

Only thing remaining was to see if the prey was going to bite the bait.
