Capítulo 29: Chapter 29: 2.8 – Twilight – When the crocodile turns into a leopard – 2 (18+)
There are three doors in Sergei's bedroom. The first door is at the end of the hallway, the second door through the long aisle where the paintings hang, a sliding door pulls from either side separating the bed and living room space, each passage requires fingerprint and iris identification. Security cameras are installed at a distance from each other, monitoring the movements of guests so much that people wonder what the hell is in it that must be hidden like that.
Sergei personally opened the last sliding door to the sides. The interior space is quite spacious. The round bed placed in the centre is large enough for 10 people to lie down. A leopard skin nearly 4m long spread on a light purple silk, each hair seems to be still alive. Its yellow eyes also shine brightly. Kwon Taek Joo wondered how he could lie on that thing and sleep? He didn't know if it was a hobby for people with excess money or not. The room even has a spacious bathroom that just looks at it and knows the intention of the design.
Kwon Taek Joo loiters near the bed and is aware of the secret space behind it. According to the cross-sectional drawing he grasped, there was a fairly large secret room there.
"Do you want to drink anything? Some fine whiskey."
Sergei invited wine, the way he talked also changed since entering the bedroom. The gaze at Kwon Taek Joo also became more revealing. He obediently accepted the cup he gave him. At a glance, he could see the white powder that had not yet melted around the small stone. Kwon Taek Joo pretends to bring it to his mouth to click his lips.
Sergei passes Kwon Taek Joo and climbs into bed. He relaxed his body and sat down and looked at him every centimetre as if he were a product on display in a glass cabinet. The eyes gliding from head to toe were uncomfortable. Kwon Taek Joo put the glass that just clicked his lips on the nearby table.
LWhere are the things you said?"
"Why are you in such a hurry. It's not too late to watch slowly, is it? The night is still long."
The old man narrowed his eyes insidiously. A drop of whiskey flowed down the glass, the old man sticking out his tongue to lick it. Kwon Taek Joo turned his head away. Meanwhile, Sergei poured the rest of the wine and got up and looked directly at Kwon Taek Joo and began to take off his clothes every layer.
He took off his shirt and took a step. He took off his pants and took another step. Sergei quickly became naked with only a tiny pair of pants on his body, narrowing the gap and panting at Kwon Taek Joo's neck.
Kwon Taek Joo quietly gritted his teeth to endure. Sergey walked back, gently rubbed his waist and suddenly hugged his solid body. He grabbed the breasts that floated on Kwon Taek Joo's shirt and straightened them as hard as if he could break them and released them, his hand gliding down to the smooth abdominal muscles.
Kwon Taek Joo held his breath looking out into the distance. If you try to endure it three times, you will probably avoid murder. But when he was trying his best, something tough touched his thigh. Kwon Taek Joo clearly felt its heat even through the clothes.
For a moment, he was thrown to the floor. His chin hit the floor in pain. Sergei completely unnoticed and rubbed his puffy third leg against Kwon Taek Joo's thigh. He exhaled pleasant breaths into the nape of his straight neck. As if being ridden on his back by an oestrus pig and panting, Kwon Taek Joo felt like something was crawling along his veins.
Kwon Taek Joo, who was counting the void in vain, suddenly opened his mouth to mumble.
"There's no way..."
"Huh, huh, huh? Huh, what do you say?"
Sergei was completely naked, pressed against Kwon Taek Joo and breathed heavily. The stout hand that stuck to the side moved towards the groin without hesitation. He clenched Sergei's fist. It seemed that he mistook it as an act of agreement, Sergei licked his neck with his tongue.
Right after that.
Sergei's body is raised. The vision was overturned in a split second. It's because Kwon Taek Joo once threw him over his shoulder.
Sergei was thrown back forward, his head stuck to the floor dumbfounded, reminiscing about what had just happened to him.
"It's so dirty I can't stand it, it's enough to be perverted."
Kwon Taek Joo mumbled and pulled back his messy shirt. He angrily wiped the saliva on the nape of his neck.
Suddenly his phone rang, a sequence of numbers not in the phone book appeared on the screen. The sequence of numbers looks familiar, it seems to be Yoon Jong Woo's phone number.
*Before entering Sergei's villa, Taek Joo secretly sent Yoon Jong Woo a photo of Zhenya and asked him to investigate who the crocodile really is. Up to this point, all Kwon Taek Joo knows about Zhenya is just 'an agent operating in Russia who will cooperate with him in this Anastasia action'. That's all. He didn't even know Zhenya's real name.
Come to think of it, Kwon Taek Joo asked him for a job. He immediately received the call. 'Alo' Yoon Jong Woo shouted right then.
"- Senior!"
Kwon Taek Joo's eardrum rose to a sudden scream. He moved his phone out of his ear for a while. Even so, Yoon Jong Woo still said words that he could not understand.
"What is this? How is the research going?"
"- Which bastard are you with? He... You know?"
"What are you talking about?"
Kwon Taek Joo picked up the phone from his ear again, this time because of poor connection. This is not an area where phone calls cannot be made, but the cold of Siberia seems to freeze radio waves and sounds.
Moreover, 'who are you with?' Is he hacking and watching CCTV cameras? Kwon Taek Joo unconsciously looked back at the bed and was startled. Sergei, who had just been thrown towards it, had gone nowhere.
*Yoon Jong Woo asked who Taek Joo was with, he was talking about Zhenya, but the rabbit thought he hacked into the system and was talking about Sergei.
Kwon Taek Joo hurriedly looked around and saw Sergei rushing over. He immediately put down his phone and grabbed his wrist. Although he blocked the attack, his speed and weight made him fall on the bed.
Sergei used his whole body to press on Kwon Taek Joo, his hand was clenched by Kwon Taek Joo, holding a syringe, inside the empty cylinder. It didn't seem like it in the first place because there was still some liquid left at the tip of the needle.
Kwon Taek Joo bent his knee to hit Sergei's head, who was lying on top as if to crush him and then hit the weaknesses of his body. Sergei struggled to resist and quickly became soft.
"Damn it."
Pressed by a huge body, Kwon Taek Joo can't even breathe. He used his best to push Sergei's body away. A sound sounded, a heavy body fell on the bed.
He took a deep breath and got up from his seat. Kwon Taek Joo rummaged through every corner of his face and below the foot of the bed, behind the head of the bed and below the leopard skin to find the key to the secret room. But there are no keys or anything like that.
There must be. Where is it?!
Kwon Taek Joo continued to think and looked back at Sergei lying on the floor. If it's an important item, he will definitely take it with him. But now he doesn't wear a single piece of fabric, it seems to be in the clothes that Seigei took off.
Kwon Taek Joo picks up each piece of clothes that fall on the floor and tries to shake them off. His hand accidentally passed something at Sergei's waistband. An object that looks like a square button. Kwon Taek Joo suspected or insisted on it. Shortly thereafter, the lid popped out and a remote control appeared.
"Found."
Kwon Taek Joo smiled contentedly. He got up from his place with his belt. His heart was excited to see the secret room he had been searching for so long.
"Ah. . . . . ."
But that didn't take long. His mind was suddenly empty. This must have been a temporary symptom, but his eyesight quickly shook. Kwon Taek Joo staggered and sat down next to the bed. His mind immediately became vague. The pulse of thought also slowed down so quickly that he couldn't even think of why Kwon Taek Joo was here. He shook his head trying to regain his spirits.
Suddenly, the syringe Sergei was holding came to his mind. The cylinder was empty but he was too subjective. Kwon Taek Joo just guessed that the liquid in it had spread out during the fight. Has it been injected into you? Kwon Taek Joo suddenly felt pain in the back of his neck. The omen is not good. And even worse because he didn't know what kind of medicine he had been injected with.
Kwon Taek Joo shook his head and acupressure on his temples but had no effect. He leaned his heavy head on the bed. The whole world began to spin.
How long has it been? Someone's leg was in his slanted vision. When was that person here? Is it a hallucination? Kwon Taek Joo wanted to raise his head to check that face, but his body no longer followed the instructions of his head.
Kwon Taek Joo slowly rolled his eyes and gradually lifted his legs and thighs and waist and then his chest and shoulders. It took a while before he could see the person's face. At the same time, Yoon Jong Woo's voice sounded through the phone that had not yet been disconnected.
"It's him! Is the senior listening?"
Who do you mean he is? The phone immediately fell into the other person's hand. He casually hung up the phone and slowly walked towards the bed. While Kwon Taek Joo's whole body was stunned by the medicine, his instincts sounded a fierce warning.
Have to run away.
"Good heavens."
A familiar voice. It's Zhenya. His long shadow over Kwon Taek Joo's head. He clicked his tongue, but he did not feel sympathy, pity or regret in it, but only a gentle interest in the current situation.
Zhenya walked past Sergei who was fainting. Seeing his smiling face, Kwon Taek Joo choked. The man in front of him was no longer a happy colleague. Nothing has changed from a while ago, but it's not quite the same as before.
Kwon Taek Joo used all his will to step back as much as he could, but in fact he only stepped back a few kilometres. Meanwhile, Zhenya came right in front of him. He tilted his upper body to look down at Kwon Taek Joo. Kwon Taek Joo's black eyes struggled to look back at him. His lips drew a long curve and soon, he slipped his hand into Kwon Taek Joo's armpit and hugged him.
Kwon Taek Joo is thrown straight on the bed. The mattress squeaked.
"I came here because I was very worried, and you turned out like this."
He climbed on top of him and stared at Kwon Taek Joo who was soaked in sweat. It is not clear whether the person he is worried about is Kwon Taek Joo or Sergei.
He couldn't understand what was going on. But on the other hand, he thought he knew. Opposite emotions and thoughts constantly flash and pass. The only thing for sure is that if Kwon Taek Joo stays here, he will definitely die.
Zhenya picked up the belt that fell on the bed and masterfully manipulated the buttons with her hands. Then, somewhere on the wall, a loud mechanical sound sounded. Next comes the part of the opposite wall that begins to slowly move.
What appears when the flat wall disappears is not a safe or an arsenal, but only a large picture frame hanging there. It's a group photo of about 20 men. Kwon Taek Joo saw many familiar faces. Vissarion and his sons he met at the Bogdanov mansion. Sergei, who was lying on the floor, was also occupying a place on the photo.
But somehow, Psych Bogdanov wasn't there, only a man who looked particularly much like Zhenya was standing right behind Vissarion. No, it must be Zhenya.
Kwon Taek Joo sighed and looked at Zhenya. You have to check. He raised his hand trembling with medicine and grabbed his shirt as if crumpled it. Zhenya just silently watched Kwon Taek Joo grab his collar. A deep joy surged in ice-cold eyes.
Kwon Taek Joo jerks off his shirt. The buttons popped off and hit him in the face. However, without blinking, Kwon Taek Joo witnessed the truth right before his eyes, a clear tattoo in the centre of Zhenya's chest. It is the pattern he has seen many times before, from the Bogdanov family mansion, from the back of Boris's hand, from the front door of this mansion, and from the forehead of the deceased Agent Morgan.
"Ah, is this? Could it be that you don't mistakenly think that only you can use that camouflage technique."
Zhenya's taunts increased.
It's him. Zhenya, he is Psych Bogdanov.
"Ha ah... Ugh..."
Kwon Taek Joo couldn't breathe. He could find himself gasping helplessly in the mirror on the ceiling. Every time he breathes, the ceiling seems to be in front of his nose and then continuously back away. Kwon Taek Joo's vision was greatly disturbed and his stomach cramped in pain. His whole body was getting hotter and hotter. His brain immediately boiled and blood melted in his veins to his toes and fingertips. The heat that colonises the whole body does not decrease but only continues to increase. His head was heavy but he tried to get up calmly. All senses are awakened so sensitive that just a light brush on the bed sheet makes his limbs weak.
Many thoughts at the same time rushed into Kwon Taek Joo's mind. The first time he took on the task, the moment he ran into Zhenya in the hotel toilet (manhwa chapter 10), and the lightning-like news hit his ears right after that he was his colleague. He was both a generous and evil colleague and a silent and brutal killer. Even so, the reason Kwon Taek Joo trusts him is because he is the partner he has been appointed by the headquarters.
When Kwon Taek Joo's vigilance reaches its peak, he always creates situations that leave him with no choice but to consider him a colleague. It was Zhenya who guided Kwon Taek Joo to secret places in the Bogdanov mansion, and thanks to him he learned the existence of 'SS-29' by eavesdropping. In case of necessity, he did not hesitate to reveal information secretly shared between mafia businesses. To get here to find the whereabouts of 'SS-29', Zhenya's support is no small. The only purpose is to make Kwon Taek Joo ridiculous.
Where and how did it get messed up? Could the headquarters appoint him as your partner? Maybe he wasn't a colleague in the first place. Could it be that the plan of this activity was wrong? Kwon Taek Joo can't understand except he's come all the way here and it's like this again.
He stammered at Zhenya. His appearance is as usual, but different. It's ironic that he realises that his partner is the person he needs to stay away from. Zhenya!s intuition and reason, the current situation, and even his behaviour are all towards a fact. However, there are still things Kwon Taek Joo does not understand.
"Why did you still let me live until now?"
"Did I let you live?"
Zhenya bluntly mocked.
"You're so delusional."
Kwon Taek Joo was stunned by the blatant mockery. Come to think of it, Zhenya tried to get rid of him as soon as he had the opportunity.
After being introduced as a partner, the hotel where Kwon Taek Joo stayed was blown up. The whole room was blown away, and he couldn't even get his belongings. Contact with the headquarters was also cut off. If he had no experience with terrorism, he would not have been able to survive and get out of there.
How was it when Kwon Taek Joo was chased by a man he thought was Psych Bogdanov? Zhenya appeared on a helicopter and fired a torrential bullet. It's a pity that the car that was running was stuck in the cold river, otherwise all the passengers including Kwon Taek Joo would have become honeycombs. Although his colleague fell into the water, Zhenya did not stop shooting. He didn't even try to save his colleague from drowning.
That's all? At Bogdanov's mansion, there was unusual noise in the communication equipment that Zhenya gave him, and on the cross-border train, Kwon Taek Joo was attacked* while searching for the missing person.
Looking back, everything is silly. Every moment Zhenya is aimed at Kwon Taek Joo, but he misunderstands that he is being helped.
Meanwhile, new doubts arise. If Zhenya made up his mind to rush in, Kwon Taek Joo himself would have died long ago. However, it seems that the fact that he is still alive is not simply luck, it is just that he has not yet fully killed him. Zhenya said the reason.
"It's nice to see you fight for survival."
Zhenya's eyes curled slightly. It has always been the same. Every time he disappears, a difficult situation arises, and if Kwon Taek Joo escapes the danger alone, he can see him watching from a distance before he realises it. Even when Kwon Taek Joo's life is threatened, Zegna is always extremely comfortable. For him, Kwon Taek Joo's life and death are nothing more than a game.
"Bastard..."
Kwon Taek Joo gritted his teeth. He clenched his fist into a fist until his nails were deep into the flesh, it seemed that his anger would not be able to be calmed down if he did not smash the brazen face standing in front of him. He would turn him into a blood rice cake so he couldn't be so arrogant anymore. Resolutely, Kwon Taek Joo waved his fist.
But Zhenya blocked the punch with just one palm. Kwon Taek Joo's fist trembled. He put all his strength into his fist, but the bastard's hand did not move. At that moment, the smile disappeared from his face. The true face of the man he had often met before was revealed. As soon as he was offended just a little, Zhenya did not hesitate to throw his mask away.
"It would be better if you could look at the situation before rushing in. Huh?"
Kwon Taek Joo's face turned around with a cry. The violent shock on the left cheek was really huge. In an instant, the stars in front of him brightened to yellow. He couldn't even moan, the left half of Kwon Taek Joo's face immediately felt hot and swollen. Something exploded deep in his nose. Not long after, red blood came out. His gums were torn and a fishy odour spread all over his mouth. Kwon Taek Joo seems to believe it immediately if his skull breaks right now.
If he continued like this, he would die at the hands of Zhenya. The survival instinct beyond personal indignation begins to take over the entire body. Kwon Taek Joo struggled to endure the pain incessantly, but Zhenya held Kwon Taek Joo's neck with one hand.
"...Cough."
Zhenya's fingertips tightened his breath. Kwon Taek Joo frowned painfully and scratched the back of his hand. But Zhenya did not move, but only pressed down with momentum to break Kwon Taek Joo's neck. Looking at the shrinking pupils, it seemed that Zhenya's reason had completely flown away.
Kwon Taek Joo hits Zhenya's elbow to get rid of him. But hopeless. His straightened arm didn't even move. The price to pay for reckless attack is very expensive. Zhenya's other hand straightly punched Kwon Taek Joo's stomach. His stomach fluttered violently, feeling like it was about to tear. For a moment, his vision dimmed and cold sweat came out. Kwon Taek Joo has lost the will to fight the pain that reaches the lungs.
Will you die like that? In a place like this, in this way?
During the mission, Kwon Taek Joo's life was threatened many times. There are many situations that are much more unpredictable than they are now. But he was still very determined anyway. Kwon Taek Joo never gives up even when the plane crashes, the storage room explodes or is hundreds of metres deep. Sure it was, but now he was thinking about the end of his life. He couldn't run away. It's like a strong belief and at the same time an obvious fact.
Kwon Taek Joo's eyes trembled hard to grasp Zhenya. No expression could be found on his cold face. Is that name really Psych Bogdanov? Will you ever be fooled by his weird joke again? He threw out useless excuses.
A vein emerged on Kwon Taek Joo's straight forehead, his eyelids also twitching non-stop. As if there was a hunch of the end, the warning light in his head sounded. Kwon Taek Joo tightly closed his eyes that were about to explode from the pressure and opened them. He licked his trembling lips. The exhausted voice choked intermittently.
"You...yes, you really...are"
"that's right."
Zhenya succeeded. Kwon Taek Joo will laugh. Nor is it unbeliedable. Zhenya is very close to the Royal Family, and he can go wherever he wants. Like Psych Bogdanov, Zhenya is well versed in the military. Kwon Taek Joo should have paid attention when he saw his high-tech arsenal on display. Besides, countless moments where Zhenya's identity can be questioned. The root cause is that he was too confident in the information from the headquarters.
A bitter smile bloomed on Kwon Taek Joo's lips. Even as he gasped, he laughed. His blood-coloured blood-red eyes curled up, and his mouth trembling with pain lifted. The laughter that should have sounded coldly stuck in his throat into a growl.
A change in Zhenya's cold face, a meaningless smile flashed across his face. It's such an instant change that Kwon Taek Joo doesn't even notice it. Zhenya suddenly let go of Kwon Taek Joo's neck.
"Phu, ha, ha, ha... Cough Cough Cough cough"
Kwon Taek Joo breathes a sigh of relief. His heart was pounding in his chest. He took a deep breath, tried to absorb oxygen in a hurry with a strong survival instinct and then coughed. His face flushed with a cough and blood from his mouth. Zhenya looked at Kwon Taek Joo coughing hard and then lifted his hem of his pants. He pulled out a dagger that had been fastened to his ankle.
