Chapter 132 – Traces of the Mask 2
Tae-hyuk brought Caterina and Se enemy territory
Caterina's eyes narrowed as she saw the 'cafe893' sign (TL: The name is deliberately written in lower capitals by author)
Semon looked around suspiciously, like he expected an ambush Both of them were suspicious
”The Yakuza are behind this shop”
Tae-hyuk smiled as he watched the uneasy Caterina
“Why, do you think I would sell you out? Well, doesn't this seeive me one of the executive positions if I hand over the head of the Red Mafia?”
“Y-You know…!”
Caterina stretched out a hand to stop the agitated Seun
”…Se that, then he wouldn't have spoken it out loud Rather, that type of suggestion makes the story easier I can promise you three times what the Yakuza offered”
Tae-hyuk coughed and looked at Caterina
”Really? Then I will listen to your story”
Caterina laughed and raised a finger
“Please look at my face now…hmm Do you think I am just a pretty face? Actually, Semon is the real boss behind me So please don't talk that way”
Caterina's words were surprising Tae-hyuk had been suspicious when Caterina had introduced herself as the boss of the Red Mafia At this htly
‘She definitely isn't a norirl'
This was the first tiainst someone
“Don't worry about being wiretapped I removed all the surveillance cameras and recorders that were installed inside”
“Then let's talk more over a cup of coffee”
As they opened the door, the cafe boss wasfrom debtors
“fuck~ I lost revenue due to that Phanto my store”
”Hey, it has been a while I thought this place would be full of customers, but it's already closed?”
”C-Cough! Y-You…”
Tae-hyuk laughed and su it at the boss' head
Kaaang!
The cafe boss fell to the ground with a large sound Tae-hyuk put the iron pipe down and clapped
“Now that the witness is handled, we can talk as much as ant”
”Where did you suddenly get the iron pipe froician?”
”Oh, this? Trade secrets Then sit back and wait Do you want any coffee?”
“Ah, yes”
Tae-hyuk muttered as he made coffee for three people
”Aigoo… If I knew this was the case, then I would've let hi him”
As they drank the coffee that Phantom made, the three people started to talk in earnest Caterina stirred the surface that looked like a broith a fork and said,
“First of all, I should explain my situation As you can see, I’m a woman”
“Well, you don't have to explain that part”
“A woman can't become the boss of the mafia”
“Didn't you say you were the boss earlier?”
”That is the problem”
Caterina was the only child of the Ivankov family's boss He knew that if he died, there would be a battle over ould be the boss
“Before my father died, he declared to all theto his only child My father was literally the symbol of Zvezda If I was a man, then I would've been able to take over the Red Mafia without any problem Even if they didn't swear absolute loyalty to me like they did to my father, they wouldn't be able to rebel”
Tae-hyuk nodded with an understanding expression
“Caterina’s situation is si of Russia”
“The Red Mafia, Zvezda is a coalition of various organizations across Russia Of course, there are eight bosses I can't stop them all by myself”
“In the end, you will die in the fight against them”
The end of the Red Mafia that Tae-hyuk remembered wasn't so different
“Of the nine heads, there is only one who follows ”
Tae-hyuk looked into Caterina's eyes as she told the story She was speaking a shameful story They ords that couldn't be said in front of her subordinates Was the situation so desperate that she was telling him this?
“In other words, you have to prove that you have the ability to be the Red Mafia's boss”
“Yes”
Tae-hyuk suddenly had an epiphany
The Red Mafia had done so in South Korea
”Um, by the way Was it the Reubens business?”
The Red Mafia had distributed forged artwork through South Korea However, he had completely ruined their plans Surely it was the work of the woman in front of him
”……”
Caterina gazed at his opera mask with a red face
”Huhu, I didn't do that due to some malice It was just a few fakes…”
”Then the dae sustained…”
Caterina was unable to bear it and raised her hand to her head
”…Ugh I didn't co about it After analyzing the past events, I realized that you aren't someone ould help a female in difficulty You only move due to what interests you”
”I am like that?”
“Doesn't that ht, we can cooperate with each other? I have soet about it”
In fact, Tae-hyuk had inflicted one-sided dae
'Hrmm… The Red Mafia's boss is rendered helpless'
