Chapter 194: < Protect – Episode 193 – 25000 vs 1 [4] >

It rained grenades and explosives.

Boom- Boom, boom- Boom, boom, boom-

The North Koreans often used the expression “ocean of fire”. But that ocean of fire didn’t take place on the Korean peninsula but rather in Africa. Ahn Soo Ho wiped out the 6th group without even seeing the face of Mohammed and proceeded to Lake Chad.

That was the flare signal.

Multiple countries paying attention to Nigeria in addition to the US military were absolutely horrified.

Oh my god!

What did I just see?

Pow! Pow! Pow!

This can’t be! There’s no way!

Those with high-level confidential permission were the most powerful from each country. People who have tasted power were unable to escape from it. The ability to control others was more addictive than drugs and more enticing than sex.

Then where did power came from? Was it up to the citizens’ will like Lincoln said? Or did it come from guns as Mao Zedong said? If it was neither of those two, was it a political technique involving propaganda? No one could say for certain. In order for the unseen power to gain life, it had to overcome complicated interests. And the relationship between the superiors and subordinates developed into all sorts of forms over generations.

The media of the 21st century focused on human rights, freedom, and equality, and the more that intensified, the world wished for a democratic society even more. But there was no certainty whether our reality was fit to function under democracy. The more the gap between the rich and the poor became fixed, important secrets and technology became monopolized, and the public started to become brainwashed that they actually had freedom.

But the world wasn’t that fair.

The 0.001% dominated the world.

They created issues that would get the public’s attention. And they used controversy to steer the public toward their goal. If a controversy deepened, it led to a conflict, and conflict ultimately led to a fight. And what if a fight deepened? Then it was war. They used the chaos that they created in order to obtain the resources they needed.

The beginning and end had always been decided.

The ones who were at a loss because of it were the 99.999%—the public. Of course, some of the public gained profit out of it, and the focus was put on them to make it look like it was fair. Was a bright future that was open to everyone true? If so, who was the most influential man in this world? The American president? Or the Chinese premier? The secretary-general of the UN had no power at all. Messi? Ronaldo? Beyonce? Bieber? The difference between VIPs and celebrities was the ability to control authority.

If the same question was asked of Ahn Soo Ho, he would have said this, “The one who makes the public think they have power and the one who creates the ones in power is the man who is truly in charge.” And they always avoided the eye of the public and moved in the dark. Just like the magicians who hid their identities, and they reigned over the world’s governments, companies, medical associations, civic groups, and more.

A powerful man who created a powerful man.

Since they believed the world revolved around them, Ahn Soo Ho was a horrifying shock to them. That was because the authority they always had didn’t work to him. Immortality was something that couldn’t be understood with logic. Ahn Soo Ho, who neither died or lost, was a man with no answer no matter how deeply he was analyzed.

They did know that he possessed strong supernatural powers.

And they knew that he probably wouldn’t lose even if he fought against an army. However, the hellish spectacle in front of their eyes was worse than they ever imagined. This wasn’t a battle. It was a one-sided annihilation. It was like a boxer beating up an average person, or an adult twisting the wrist of a little child.

Was it because of Boko Haram’s shabby military power? Not at all. This had nothing to do with a weapon’s technology. The modern strategies and tactics used in the 21st century became useless in front of Ahn Soo Ho. Some of the powerful minds became very active in thought. Was it right to keep such a scary monster out in the wild? Was it better to work together and get rid of him now? They wanted to press the button for a nuclear weapon, but on the other hand, they didn’t have the confidence to deal with the aftermath.

‘What if he can’t be killed by a nuclear warhead?’

A nuclear attack was the Maginot line of all those in power. The reason why they were afraid of Ahn Soo Ho but didn’t suck up to him was because they wanted to believe that in the far future, they would win. They would definitely face a lot of harm, but they wanted to believe that they would still come out as winners.

The time it took for the 90 disguised cars, 10 armed cars, and six trams to go down was just under 5 minutes. Ahn Soo Ho walked through the bodies and ruin while talking on the phone. It was clear that he was having a hard time.

“Sorry.”

“For what?”

“I’m sorry.”

It was wise to start off with an apology.

“Sigh. So when are you coming back?”

“As soon as possible. Tell your parents that I’m sorry, too.”

“Soo Ho.”

“Yeah?”

Ahn Soo Ho froze at Jang Seol Hyun’s calling of his name.

“Talk to me first before you do anything important.”

“Sorry.”

“Be careful, okay?”

“Of course. I love you.”

He was speaking on the phone through a walkie-talkie. As soon as he hung up, the ones who were listening in all jumped in.

I love you! Ugh!

Shit! My ears! My ears!

Please spare our ears! Our precious ears!

If they were in a cartoon, veins would have popped out of Ahn Soo Ho’s forehead.

“Shut up.”

You made it sound like you were going to keep your integrity your whole life, but tsk, tsk! Yeah right!

You shut up, Boss! What are you doing talking to your fiancée during a mission? Damn it!

They always make it obvious as soon as they’re not single anymore! Ptooey!

This was something that never would have happened before. Ahn Soo Ho was slightly embarrassed so he couldn’t say anything. The one who resolved the situation was the Casanova and forever single, Logan.

Stop it and focus!

“Thank you, Logan.”

If you’re thankful, stop dating by yourself and think about us, too. Will you, Boss?

“Hmph!”

Logan and his underlings were subordinates that he could trust. Their courage that wasn’t afraid of death and their will that never died out allowed them to give off 120% of their abilities on the battlefield. They made a lot of money and killed a lot of people with Ahn Soo Ho, but since most of the ones they killed were evil, they weren’t that bad in spirit. They were actually quite pure.

The problem was that they were horrible at dating.

They only went to strip bars and had zero proper conversations with a woman, and although they had an attractive physique, when they had any free time, they spent all of it at the gym working out. They were idiots who were trying their luck at dating by getting more jacked.

But I’ve got to acknowledge that our boss is popular! He’s so strong and cool! 𝘧𝓇𝗲𝑒we𝙗noѵ𝑒l.𝐜o𝘮

Yeah! That’s true! But he’s no Frank!

What about Frank?

Didn’t you know? He’s dating a female colleague!

Gasp! No way! Frank is dating? Hey! Frank!

Shouldn’t Frank make friends before he starts dating?

But who’s Frank?

Don’t you know Frank? Deb! Deb!

Oh! But isn’t Deb a girl’s name?

Deb? Deb! That reminds me of a stripper on Cherry Bay! She had a nice rack and ass!

Amanda? Juliette? Hunky Bunky? Why do you collect business cards of strippers?

Well, you go to prostitutes all the time! Strippers are cleaner than prostitutes!

You bastards! They’re all the same! If you keep doing that, you’ll have a bunch of children surprising you by calling you, Daddy!

The condoms they have there are very robust!

Some chicks put holes in them on purpose! Be careful! Just get a call girl instead!

I don’t know! I don’t like condoms! And I have a duty to spread my DNA into this world!

You have no experience in dating, but you? I guess you do have experience in sex.

If even Frank is dating a female colleague, anything can happen! fre𝑒𝘸𝚎𝚋n૦ѵℯl.c𝒐𝘮

All of their radio conversations were like this.

He couldn’t hear any important combat information even if he tried. It wasn’t that they weren’t nervous about this, but that they were unable to feel nervous at all. The other troops surrounding Ahn Soo Ho were obligated to sweep up the remnants. Some might wonder if it was even possible to survive grenades and explosives, but that was their first duty anyway. Logan and his underlings were so skilled that no one could fool around under their watch.

Mercenaries had freedom. But that didn’t mean there were no rules. The rule that Ahn Soo Ho controlled his troops with was simple.

Don’t shoot carelessly!

Don’t shoot carelessly!

Don’t shoot carelessly!

Mercenaries didn’t just go around killing civilians. And only crazy mercenaries went wild as if they were going to die tomorrow. It wasn’t uncommon for some women to come and claim they had their child, but DNA analysis these days had an accuracy rate of 100%. Ahn Soo Ho didn’t force them to give up alcohol or sex. It was all up to them. But they were not allowed to do drugs.

‘Alcohol can be cleansed using magic.’

But it was harder with drugs.

2 kilometers to the front! Oh, so many!

Standby! Checking... They’re wearing Chad military uniforms! Are we near the border already?

Hmm, nope! We’re still 200 kilometers away!

Then who are they?

They’re... camouflaged warlords.

For those traveling in Africa without a travel package, there was one unwritten rule to follow. Never trust the police or military. In safer countries, uniforms elicited trust, but in Africa, it was bait that was used to reel victims in.

Ahn Soo Ho smirked.

“They say the unlucky ones break their noses even if they fall backward.”

Oh! Shit! Hold off! Hold off!

They were wearing Chad military uniforms, but they weren’t in the Chad military. And they met the wrong person at the wrong place and time. Ahn Soo Ho wasn’t in a good mood. If the 6th group was wiped out in an instant, they were going to be ripped to shreds like crazy.

The troops created a diagonal line, and they shot at them from a frontal direction. It looked as though an MLRS was launched.

Bang, bang- Bang, bang-

A storm blew in.
