Chapter 219 - Payback

Hanxi kept teasing one of the guards until he showed further interest. Some of his colleagues began to cheer him on. 

"Yeah, go ahead and get laid! The captain is not around and so is the chief!"

"We'll back you up, man!"

Some other guards did not approve of the idea, bringing in an outsider to the ship, they would find themselves out of work the next day. Still, no one reported it as their high-ranking officers were not around. Others merely did not want to make enemies of their colleagues.

In any case, it was not the first time they had brought in women into the ship. Often times, they turn a blind eye as the women never made it back on land. 

The man was holding Hanxi and Han-joon by the waist as he brought them inside the ship and then to his quarters. As they walked, Hanxi occasionally asked questions about each room they come across. 

"Ooh. That looks interesting. What is that?"

"Where does that lead to?"

"Oh, that is the control room. That is a door leads to all the good stuff, a bunch of science f**k that I don't know anything about," replied the guard. He did not mind answering. These ladies, after he was done with them, they were going down in the middle of the ocean, anyway. 

From time to time he would squeeze on their behinds and he especially liked Han-joon's very firm ass. He said, "that is one fine ass you got there, missy. You are the first, I want to do from behind. I love Asian bitches."

Han-joon was already fuming in anger at that point. He swore to cut off the man's organ the moment he would get the chance. 

When they entered the guard's room, the man instructed Hanxi, "Now suck me."

"No. let me," said Han-joon in a lady-like tone. He was calm as ever as he knelt down in front of the man, but at the back of his head, he was cursing like hell. Han-joon waited for him to take out his stick. The moment it sprung free, he screamed for seconds and then the sound faded slowly and turned into a gargle.

Seconds. That was all that it took for Han-joon to take out his knife, cut the man's organ and slit his throat. 

"Damn! No wonder he was so eager to get laid. You call that a penis? It looked more like a mini corn dog!" Hanxi could not help but mock at the guard, disgusted of the sight of his member. He then glared and Han-joon saying, "Did you really have to wait until he pulled out his thing?"

"You could tell the man was a maniac. I wanted him to see his own falling off of him," said Han-joon, coldly. If there was anything he hated the most, it was men who abused and take advantage of women. 

After checking that no one else was around, they changed into the guard's uniform and began their exploration. Their primary target was the control room followed by the ship's onboard communication satellite. 

To get into the secured areas, they created diversions. Some guards needed to be taken down permanently. The ship had two false fire alarms that day and they could not help but question why they were having such terrible luck after docking in Normandy. They wondered if their day was going to get any worse. 

It was a tedious task having to infiltrate the ship in daylight. It was burdensome to hide the dead bodies in an unfamiliar place, but all they needed to do was to gain access to its network and Li Wen will be their guide on the vessel soon enough. 

After accomplishing their tasks, they came back to the guard's bunker and used it as a hideout. They communicated with Li Wen on the progress and it did not take long for her to have visual on everything on the ship. Apart from cameras, she gained access to all security codes and even the research files on their test subjects. 

"Wen, we need to act fast, they will find out some of their companions are missing soon enough. Have Lu Fang and Yeong took action?" Asked Hanxi. 

"As soon as I confirm everything," Li Wen replied. 

Li Wen searched among the names of abducted individuals. There were about twenty of them, some have been kept for more than six months. Finally, she found her sister's name.

Test subject: Andrea Li

Exhibited above normal strength, agility, and intellect. Carries genes from Project Zero experiments with genetic codes, ATCG and CATGAG.

Current Treatment:

Induced Coma: Propofol IV

Therapy: Hypnosis 

Her heart pounded violently just reading the initial records. She quickly searched the cameras for the room Andrea was kept and there she found her, unconscious lying in bed with an oxygen mask. Tears filled her eyes, relieved to see her sister even just from the surveillance. She was worried about her state, but what mattered most was that she was alive. 

She went through the files of the organizers and found three families who funded the rise of the collaborative enterprise.  Several businessmen and scientists also managed the said research, all coming from powerful backgrounds, but Bertrand Duval was named as its chairman. 

Li Wen quickly reported to Lu Fang and sure enough, the man came howling with tears. They were in Paris, currently pursuing a person of interest. After drying his face, he clenched his hand into a fist and gritted his teeth. He swore Bertrand Duval would pay for his deeds. 

Alfred was heading to the airport when he received the call from Li Wen. Learning of the truth, he knew it was time to accumulate a new company in addition to what he already had. "Wen, give me all their names, especially those in the business circle. I will take care of them."

It was already nightfall when the captain had returned to the ship. He was extremely nervous after arriving late. On the way back, there was a traffic jam that prevented him from leaving Paris on time. When he realized his chief mate had left, he felt his blood pressure go up and just as he was about to call his second in command, he also learned that his chief security officer was nowhere in sight. 

While the captain and his crew were frantically trying to get a hold of their chief mate and chief security officer, Lu Fang and Yeong had arrived at the port and with them was a relevant person to their payback. They were already prepared to get inside the ship and take back Andrea.
