Chapter 22

1st floor of the Headquarter building, surveillance room. Chief Yi Taekyun was looking at the large screen that was showing the 4th Interrogation room on the 5th underground floor of the building. What he saw was the recording of what happened two and a half hours ago. Yumchan and the other special units leaders seemed concerned after checking the video. One of them, Dong Jomyung, spoke with concerned voice.

“Chief, if I’m not wrong…”

“…Superior master level.”

Chief Yi Taekyun said with heavy voice. The team leaders here were all familiar with the different stages of Yulinians. Using such force energy was proof that the person was at the stage of superior master level, a very high stage that only a selected few could achieve.

‘And that kind of man is unregistered?’

That was the most curious part of it all, as the man seemed to be extremely powerful to be hidden. Chief Song Wigang then asked carefully, “Chief Yi. What do you think?”

The only hope he now had was Chief Yi Taekyun and his teammates. If they couldn’t rescue the Vice Director from being captured as hostage, it was evident that Song Wigang was going to be demoted for sure.

“We have to rescue the Vice Director as fast as we can.”

Chief Yi Taekyun asked back, “Did you say you couldn’t find anything from his retina scan or fingerprints?”

“No. We tried to do the blood tests also, but he resisted heavily on that and…”

He didn’t add what happened after as they all saw what happened through the recorded video.

“Hm… Something’s not right.”

“You think so?”

“If he had nothing to hide, then he would not resist from being searched of his identity. Maybe he has some connection with some big ones.”

Song Wigang also nodded as he agreed with his thoughts. Dropping from the sky to surrendering himself to the PSB, everything about the guy seemed suspicious. Yi Taekyun then got up from his seat.

“Whew… then we have no choice. Let’s hurry as we don’t have time.”

“No time?”

“We have to get rid of him within 24 hours.”

“What are you talking about?”

Song Wigang became confused, and Yi Taekyun pointed his finger at Chun Yeowun on the monitor.

“You said he warned to not annoy him until he goes out, right?”

“Yeah. He’s one arrogant fool.”

Song Wigang gritted his teeth furiously.

“If he’s a superior master level, he could have gotten away no matter how many tactical units we had on the scene. But he walked in here willingly, meaning he is trying to walk out here legally.”

“Legally?”

“If he has a connection to someone higher up, there will be a movement on trying to take him out before a 24-hour window, or before he is put on trial after a formal investigation.”

“Ah!”

Song Wigang nodded, seemingly astounded by Yi Taekyun’s foresight. Song Wigang was only worried about the safety of the Vice Director that he couldn’t think otherwise. Surely enough, Yi Taekyun was a talented PSB agent. Song Wigang brightened up from the trust and Yi Taekyun asked him, “Is it okay to kill him if needed?”

“Huh?”

Song Wigang became dumbfounded after he was almost relieved. It was Simyang City Hall’s direct order to capture this man alive and investigate. He was going to ask to bring him in alive.

“Can’t you take him in alive?”

“…You are asking too much against a superior master warrior. I can do that if you are okay with sacrificing half our team.”

All team leaders nodded in agreement. Song Wigang was not familiar with Yulinian or its different stages, but he too sensed that it was very dangerous.

‘Yeah… taking him alive will require more work. And we might lose him while trying to do that. It’s more important to rescue the Vice Director.’

Song Wigang only cared for his own position. He then decided on what to do and asked again.

“Then… you sure you can kill him?”
