Regression Life of a Retired S-Class Mercenary

chapter 20



Episode 20. tracker

Commercial shooting has begun. In the meantime, two luxury cars pulled into the parking lot of the set.

Awesome!

Three foreigners in suits and two got out of each vehicle.

“What are you doing?”

“Sorry. I’ll check.”

A foreigner pushed a staff member and tried to get inside.

“It’s not possible! Why are you like this!”

Foreigners rushed in recklessly. Then, as the atmosphere concentrating on filming became cluttered, attention focused on them.

“what’s the matter!”

At Director Jo Soo-chan’s call, even other staff members stepped forward.

However, foreigners in suits were still looking for something while wandering around the set.

Then, Kang-soo, who was standing next to a camping chair with “Yoo So-hyun” written on it, blocked the men in front.

Kang-soo looked at them and spoke in English.

“This is a controlled area. Please leave.”

“I’m sorry, but our business comes first. So get out of the way.”

There was no one else.

The two men tried to head to the set by passing the river.

At this, Kang-soo grabbed a man by the shoulder.

“Do you really want to make that mistake? huh! hmm-?”

The man tried to shake off Kang-su’s arm, but he didn’t budge.

Soon, the man’s face turned red with embarrassment, and he clenched his fist with the other hand and threw it away.

hook-

At that moment, Kang-soo lowered his center of gravity as he wrapped around the man’s arm.

In the blink of an eye, the man floated into the air, his vision reversed, and he was slammed to the floor.

Quaang-!

A tremendous sound reverberated through the high ceiling of the studio on set.

The men scattered in all directions approached quickly in surprise.

“What is that guy?”

“hey! Thomas! Wake!”

I couldn’t come to my senses as the other man shook the man who had been pushed to the floor. I passed out from the shock of the wind falling without even having time to use the fall technique.

Soon, the remaining four men stood around Kangsu.

“They stormed into the filming set and were rude.”

“What is this bastard talking about!”

It was just Korean.

One of the four men extended a sharp kick.

‘Military style martial arts?’

Even the man named Thomas, who was pinned down to the floor, was punching, a method used in military-style martial arts.

However, judging by his behavior, he is at least a veteran.

hook-

Kang-soo leaned back only to avoid the man’s kick.

At that moment, another man lowered his torso as if it had been put together, and ran in.

It is to try to subdue after knocking it down with a tackle.

Tak – Hook!

However, Kang-soo jumped up with one hand on his shoulder. At the same time, I kicked down the man standing behind me.

It was not difficult for the opponent to block an attack that was obvious from the air by raising both hands.

Of course, I knew the river well.

Pak-! puck-!

The moment his body floated in the air, the foot on the other side of the river plunged into the man’s stomach.

“Big! Wow! Kuck!”

The man was completely caught off guard and couldn’t even breathe properly and gasped.

Now there are three left

They couldn’t help but recognize that they had completely misjudged.

“If you don’t want to get hurt more, start by talking about your purpose. Or else it will go off nicely.”

This time it was in English.

Kang-soo couldn’t help but feel annoyed in this situation.

The three remaining men’s expressions twisted at the provocative question. Away from their purpose, their egos were thrown into the trash.

The man on Kang-su’s right tackled him again. This time, I moved carefully to avoid being caught by the shoulder.

Tuk, pak-

A slate that had been rolling on the floor was kicked up by Kangsu’s feet.

The man’s vision was momentarily blocked, and the river in front of him just now disappeared.

“It’s down!”

It was the call of another man.

But it’s already too late.

The moment the gaze of the man who was tackling him fell, he ran into Kang-soo, who was lying down before he knew it.

At the same time, Kang-soo grabbed the man’s sleeves and showed off the traditional judo ‘back-to-back kick’ like water flowing.

Quaang-!

All parts of the man’s back were attracted to the hard concrete floor like a magnet.

The two men who were left in such an absurd scene could not easily attack even though Kang-soo opened up a gap for a moment.

“Brady!”

Suddenly, a shout came from the entrance of the studio.

The heads of the two remaining men turned to their temples.

“Mr. O’Brien! How have you been?”

“What are you guys doing? What is this mess?”

At the cry of Hawk O’Brien, who was still covered in dust, the two men dropped their heads and could not lift them.

“Mr. O’Brien, do you know them?”

Kangsu had a rough idea of who they were, but asked to be sure.

At this, Hawk O’Brien let out a sigh.

“These are my personal bodyguards. I sneaked out to come here, but I wonder how I found out. I’m really sorry!”

Hawk O’Brien, whose expression became bitter, bowed his head in an oriental manner.

“Your apology should go to the people here, not me.”

“ah···. I’m really sorry. I am really sorry.”

Hawk O’Brien was also a person who knew how important the field was.

Of course, he has a unique personality and causes people around him to suffer, but no one can blame him because that hardship leads to good results.

However, the current problem clearly had damage.

Soon, Hawk O’Brien’s expression was stained with a sigh.

Then Cho Chan-soo, the cinematographer, came to Kang-soo’s side.

“For now, we are fine. Because the filming stopped for a while. However, the person here dealt with the people who fell here.”

Of course, because he did not speak English, Cho Chan-soo’s gaze turned to Kim Bo-ran, who followed Hawk O’Brien.

Kim Bo-ran met that gaze and translated it.

Of course, I knew that the person he was pointing at was Kang-soo.

“I know that it is not polite to say this. If there is anything you want, I will do my best.”

“…for now, I’m fine. And more than me…”

Kang’s gaze turned to the floor. The men who hadn’t come to their senses until now struggled to get up one by one.

Actually, I came to my senses earlier, but there were some things that I couldn’t get up right away because I was too embarrassed to be hit in an instant.

“I truly have no face.”

“All you have to do is not sue me for assault.”

“Don’t worry about that. Absolutely… it will never happen.”

All of them are former veterans who have been to a special place in the military.

Even if Hawk O’Brien didn’t stop it, they were embarrassed.

“Then no problem. If the situation is settled, please leave. We have to resume filming here.”

“Ah, I see. Everyone get out! hurry!”

“Even director Hawk O’Brien.”

Hawk O’Brien, who was only going to let the bodyguards go, made a face that he was caught and went out together.

Filming was able to resume thanks to him.

Kang-soo followed them and went out with Kim Bo-ran. At that time, the back door of the car in front of the car the bodyguards were riding in opened and a slender woman with blonde hair in a crimson two-piece got out.

It was a dark color that could make you look old, but it was well digested with a young feeling.

“J-Jamie…!”

“I did my best to allow them to enter Korea as secretly as possible, but did they trick the bodyguards and run away?”

She was Jamie Klein, director Hawk O’Brien’s exclusive manager and longtime friend.

“No, not that.”

“No, what is it! I told you not to crash! Is it not enough that the producers and investors have all turned upside down because of your disappearance?”

“I want to try something…”

“You said you were holding an audition in Korea! Then you should have waited!”

As much as Jamie was an old friend of Hawke’s, he knew his personality well.

If they continued to stop them, they would come to Korea without permission as they do now.

However, I did not expect to visit the actress in person after coming to Korea and circumventing the bodyguards.

“Sorry. I’m really sorry. But how did you find me? I also threw away my phone.”

Hawk knew that Jamie was tracking him on his cell phone. So, before leaving the hotel, I threw away my phone.

In response, Jamie pointed to the watch on his wrist.

At the same time, Hawk looked at his watch and became contemplative.

“Did you put a tracking device on the watch you bought for your birthday? You bought it two years ago!”

“It was there two years ago. The day will come when I will use it like this. And it was two years ago, so I couldn’t pinpoint the exact location.”

It was Jamie who circled around the universe on top of a flying hawk.

Then Jamie’s gaze turned to Kang-soo and Kim Bo-ran.

“My name is Jamie Klein, the guardian of director Hawk O’Brien.”

“I’m Kim Bo-ran.”

“This is Han River.”

After introducing each other, Jamie bent down to the point where her waist folded.

“I’m sorry for the damage. Of course, I have no intention of ending with just an apology. We will proceed through the agency so that the damage compensation process can be formally carried out.”

There was no gap in her sharp proposal.

Of course, Kim Bo-ran was also not easy.

“If there was someone who could control it in the first place, shouldn’t he have made it so that it wouldn’t happen in the first place?”

“I couldn’t help but face the situation with this human.”

“You mean you used us?”

“It happened unexpectedly. Besides, it has become a nuisance to the benefactor.”

Jamie’s gaze was fixed on Kang-soo.

“A benefactor?”

“That’s not something I’m going to say here. Anyway, I sincerely apologize. It’s no empty talk, so claim whatever you need when it comes to compensation. I will compensate you with this human money.”

For a moment, everyone’s eyes were fixed on Hawk O’Brien.

Kim Bo-ran was worried about the part called ‘benefactor’ that he had heard earlier, but he only sighed as he had to check the organized situation.

“I will.”

“Please contact us here.”

Jamie handed her a business card with her name and number engraved on a black background with gold engraving.

Accepting it, Kim Bo-ran went inside to check the shooting situation.

The precipitation remained in place.

“We must have something to talk about, right?”

“huh? what? why? Anyone know?”

Hawk tilted his head and checked the precipitation here and there. However, I was scratching my head as if there was no face I could remember.

“You don’t know. I almost died then, but I lived.”

“huh? I? I’ve never been like that…”

“There are so many that you can’t even remember. Rather, move your seats, and you guys go back to your car.”

“yes? but······.”

Brady made a puzzled expression.

At this, Jamie’s eyes sharpened.

“It was an unavoidable situation, but you have to take responsibility for the disappointing situation, right? So please go.”

“···All right.”

Kang-soo, Jamie, and Hawk sat around an outdoor table set up for a break room in the corner of the set.

“Roughly… it’s been 7 years, right?”

“It was in Georgia. To be honest, it was long.”

It was 2008, and war broke out between Georgia and South Ossetia.

And then Hawk O’Brien crossed the border of a neighboring country and entered the war zone of Georgia, saying that he was preparing a war movie.

It couldn’t have been really crazy.

“I made a request to the place where you belonged to save this human. Honestly, even though I commissioned it with my own hands, I thought it was impossible. But I saved this human in three days.”

“He was a man full of passion. Besides, he even got shot when he went out to save the children.”

“I live thanks to you. Well, it made a great movie out of it, and I’ve been struggling for 7 years thanks to that. It might have been better if I had died then…”

I could see a little sincerity in Jamie’s eyes.

Hawk met those eyes and involuntarily swallowed.

“Thank you anyway. I was not in a good mood at the time, so I couldn’t properly thank you, but now I have an opportunity like this.”

“It was something I did for money. You don’t even need to do that.”

“Few people go into a place where they might die for millions of dollars. Honestly, I wanted to work with them.”

“Thank you for your words.”

“It’s not a polite thing to say. How about working together now? Salary is 3 million dollars. How about this? If the amount is small, we can negotiate more than that.”

3.5 billion in Hanwha. It couldn’t have been a huge amount.

“I am not particularly greedy for money.”

“Well, since you were there, you must have earned enough. But wouldn’t it be nice to see it as an extension of what you’re doing now? You wouldn’t be lacking, but having more would not be uncomfortable.”

“I will refuse.”

Jamie has been active as Hawk’s exclusive manager as well as a casting director for the film.

And for the first time, I faced an opponent who didn’t know what to attack or how to attack.
