Chapter 35 - The Question (3) (1/2)

The Question (3)

Beep beep!

Numerous patterns and information appeared continuously on the monitor.

Illegal organizations’ names, scale, area of ​​activity, disposition, and all other data flashed constantly.

Suddenly, the screen focused on a photo and zoomed in.

It was a photo of the man Il-hyun caught.

The neck tattoo identified on the screen matched perfectly.

Shin Jae-ha, the vice-captain of the analysis team, pointed to the screen and discussed it. He was wearing neat eyeglasses and had a prominently ugly face.

“Del Lohas, a cartel located in northern Mexico. About 350 members. They are mainly devoted to drug distribution, but after a while, they expanded to doing business with gates to increase their income.

“Hmm…” Lee Soo-yeon, sitting across from him, knocked on the desk in front of her.

They were alone in a small conference room.

“Ah, they are still there?” she remarked.

The cartels in Central and South America remained notorious even after the changes around the world due to the occurrence of gates.

These cartels are deeply involved in the politics and economy of countries with corrupt policies and poor security.

“How high is their level of Awakeners?” Lee Soo-yeon asked.

“It’s not very high. The guy you caught had a decent ability, but his fighting ability was amateur.”

This caused Lee Soo-yeon to slap her chair loudly.

“So, you’re saying it’s a small group, and with low-level Awakeners. How then did they have a disturbance device of that scale?”

The disturbance device was not something that could be easily produced.

It required a fairly high level of technical skills, and it was difficult to obtain the raw materials required to make it because they are strictly watched in every country.

Even for large organizations, it was impossible to procure a single device.

What more for a group with only 350 people?

“Any other information?”

Shin Jae-ha shook his head.

“That’s all we have so far. You’ll have to figure out more by yourself. With what happened, and your personality, I know you’ll be going directly to their headquarters.”

He knew that Jeong Jin-seong was seriously injured.

Lee Soo-yeon nodded.

As long as they knew the identity of the guys and their home base, it would be easy to disable them entirely.

She was already sending a signal to the other team members. They will fly to South America and destroy the Del Lohas.

“What about the other clues, has the disturbance device been analyzed yet?”

“What? Of course, it’s still being analyzed. I had to find out the identity of the culprit all night, I dropped everything and focused on it, and now…”

“Yes, yes. Thank you.” Lee Soo-yeon suddenly grabbed his hand and shook as she noticed he began to nag. “Please inform us as soon as possible.”

Shin Jae-ha stared at her and continued muttering. “Of course, we have to be fast. This device has caused us big trouble.”

Suddenly, the door opened, and someone came in.

The two stood up, reflexively upon seeing who it was.

“CEO?”

President Ryu Jin-tae stood at the doorway.

“Can you leave us alone?” He asked Shin Jae-ha.
