The Count’s Youngest Son Is A Player - Chapter 295
Episode 295 Ta-
da-da-da-da.
The sound of the propeller rotating was turbulent.
“3 minutes to the goal! “Prepare for descent!”
Crash. Cracking.
Agents who were on standby on the pilot’s radio checked each person’s armament and rappel status.
Below the helicopter, I could see several motorboats speeding by, creating white foam.
And far away.
An old, medium-sized fishing boat was crossing the rough sea.
“Confirm target! “Headquarters instructions.”
Cheezy.
When instructions from the situation room were delivered over the radio, the pilot shouted loudly.
“Operation begins! Go! Go! Go!”
It rattled.
The helicopter’s door opened and strong wind blew into the interior.
However, the agents paid no heed and threw the rope down and then rappelled down.
“Hands up! “If you resist, I’ll shoot you!”
A dozen agents descended from two helicopters, pointing submachine guns at the crew and shouting.
While some sailors, embarrassed by the sudden attack, raised their hands.
“Who are you? “Whoever wants to come into the ship!”
A man wearing a suit and sunglasses, who didn’t look like a sailor at first glance, shouted in annoyance.
“Didn’t you hear me raise my hands!”
“What? If you do well, are you really going to shoot me? From the looks of it, they don’t seem to be police officers. What are they doing? “Does it make sense to carry out a gun and engage in mischief in the territorial waters of the Republic of Korea?”
While the man in the suit was yelling, sailors began to appear one by one on the deck.
However, there were only a few who looked like fishermen, and most of them were gangsters wearing colorful shirts and suit pants.
With Chara. Suddenly.
They each dragged tools such as iron pipes and harpoon hooks onto the deck and began to confront the agents.
The number, which was estimated to be over thirty, overwhelmed the agents, so the sunglasses man shouted as if he had gained momentum.
“You guys know this is illegal trespassing, right? “I don’t know who you trust when you do this, but it would be better to put down that gun right now and get out of the way.”
“It is the last warning. If you do not disarm and surrender, we will suppress you by force.”
“what? Hahaha, try it if you can. Hey guys, are you taking good pictures?”
“Yes, brother. “You’re taking a very clear picture.”
Among the men holding tools, several people were filming the current situation with their smartphones.
They probably thought they had gained momentum with that, but the opponent was no easy hit.
The leader of the agents smiled and pointed to the sky and sea with his finger.
A helicopter was rotating around the ship, and before I knew it, an expensive camera was filming this place from a motorboat surrounding the ship.
“There was a report that you were kidnapping and confining our client. “I’m going to check the dock and cargo hold, so get out of the way.”
“What kind of bullshit are they talking about? Why are you looking here to see if I’m your customer or something? “Our ship is engaged in legitimate fishing, so stop talking nonsense!”
“Does this mean you won’t cooperate?”
“Cooperation is a mess. “I’m telling you to stop being harsh and get off when I say nice things to you?”
When there was no way to communicate, the captain nodded and raised his hand.
“Suppress it.”
“Your captain.”
Crash.
The agents all pointed their guns at the sailors.
“What? Shoot! Shoot it. Hehehe.”
Grumble!
Burbubbuk!
“evil! “Save me!”
“Crazy people!”
The muzzle spewed fire.
Those who were shot rolled around on the floor as if convulsing in great pain.
What the agents fired were not real bullets.
Rubber bullets, developed for non-lethal suppression, struck the limbs of the gangsters.
Even though it is a rubber bullet, its striking power is so great that if it is hit incorrectly, it can break bones.
The agents calmly aimed their guns and fired, avoiding their critical points.
And when the members of the rear row fired tear gas, the sailors over 30 fell into panic.
“enter.”
The leading team members subdued the suffering gangsters one by one with Taser guns.
“die! “You bastards!”
Even in the midst of this, I was not discouraged and attacked with tools.
puck! Plop!
He was beaten mercilessly by two agents carrying batons and fell to the floor.
“The first group goes to the engine room. Group 2 secured the deck access road and cleared out the remnants. Group 3 is checking the dock with me!”
It took less than 3 minutes to subdue more than 30 sailors.
Grumble.
“Whoa! Ha surrender!”
“I don’t know anything!”
It wasn’t that difficult to take control of the ship after the gangsters were wiped out.
It was unclear whether they were real gangsters or not, but the captain quickly surrendered and the fishing boat stopped.
Then motorboats approached and additional agents boarded.
And right then, people who looked like reporters and a cameraman got on the boat.
“I found it here!”
“Paramedics! “Hurry this way!”
The radio call of the crew searching the bottom of the ship continued with a mumbling sound.
“oh my god! “How could you do something like this…”
The reporter who headed there with the camera let out a sigh without realizing it.
Inside the dock, which had been remodeled to resemble a prison, dozens of ordinary people with blood clots all over their bodies were trapped in a small space.
Everyone looked like a mess, as if they hadn’t been able to wash or eat for several days.
Even though the agents and people came in, the sight of them crouching in the corner of the prison, squirming, was such a miserable sight that it was difficult to open one’s eyes and see.
“Everyone, I’m here to save you! “If anyone is unwell or in critical condition, please tell us quickly!”
Agents rescued them by forcefully tearing off the iron bars.
However, even after being rescued, the sight of them shaking without opening their eyes as if they were in a daze gave us an idea of the hardships they had gone through.
And the scene captured on camera was being relayed in real time to Raoul at Connect.
* * *
A situation room with dozens of magic screens.
The atmosphere today was quite different from usual.
This may be because most of the people filling the situation room were players from the Purple Guild and cooperative guilds.
“Have you seen those bastards!”
“I never thought it would be true after hearing rumors!”
The scene shown on the screen was shocking.
The suppression of ships in the West Sea of Korea was only a minor result.
Raoul attacked their base and means of transportation at once based on the information and evidence he had gathered.
This rescue operation mobilized all personnel from First Security Co., Ltd. and collaborators from the relevant countries.
Attacks that took place simultaneously in over 20 locations in 8 countries were vividly conveyed here through broadcasting.
It was fortunate that more than hundreds of victims were rescued in the process, but many people had already lost their lives.
The place that particularly shocked everyone was a private laboratory in Latvia, Mexico, China.
“How could such a terrible thing be done in the 21st century…”
It was not a human testing ground full of blood and flesh.
However, the sight of an anesthetized person being locked in a large test tube and connected to various devices like a laboratory animal naturally raised eyebrows.
And above all, the moment when a screen showing dozens of brains with various devices attached to them in a vat appears.
“Woo wow!”
“….”
Both those who were filming and those watching were vomiting in various places.
‘How cruel can humans really be?’
Raoul closed his eyes tightly and calmed his increasingly intense breathing.
Anger welled up again at the thought that maybe I would have been like that in my past life.
But now is the time to be cool.
Raoul gathered his emotions and gave instructions.
“Secure the evidence at the scene and thoroughly hand it over to the local security officer. “We have already sought cooperation from governments in each country, so there will be no major problems.”
No matter how powerful a person is, it will be difficult for them to escape once they have secured this level of clear evidence and witnesses.
‘Of course, the real bigwigs will deny it and say they don’t know.’
I had no intention of holding all responsibility in law anyway.
This was just a clue to find the real person responsible.
If we find the real mastermind…
‘Then I will destroy them by any means necessary!’
That was why I had to bring the players to the situation room today.
As the highest ranking players, their influence was already greater than that of celebrities.
Official route using law and public power.
A battle of public opinion using players and the media.
And even the back-end work through the ground work that had been prepared so far.
Raoul had no intention of forgiving those who were hiding behind money and power and playing God.
‘What you guys have. I will take it all away, one by one.’
Raul steeled his resolve and looked at the screen again.
* * *
An enormous shock struck the whole world.
-The number of Connect players who have gone missing, knowingly or unknowingly, has exceeded one thousand!
-Simultaneous kidnapping and human research! Who’s behind it?
-8 countries involved. Twenty locations have been revealed. But even this is just the tip of the iceberg!
-About half of the rescued victims had serious injuries that required several months of intensive care. What on earth happened there?
-More than 2,000 people involved in the ‘Connect kidnapping incident’ arrested. Heads of countries condemn “absolutely unacceptable acts of inhumanity.”
-Who is the real owner of the research institute involved in the incident? Each country sets up a special investigation headquarters and begins tracking down those behind it.
The world turned upside down overnight.
All media outlets around the world covered the massive crime named the ‘Connect Kidnapping Incident.’
First Security’s rescue operation, which took place all at once, did not give them a chance to destroy evidence.
The entire process was captured on video, and too much evidence and witnesses poured out to cover it up.
Moreover, since the footage was distributed on the Internet through Connect’s rankers, not simply the broadcasting company, the matter was impossible to resolve from the beginning.
And most importantly, First Company has power.
Diplomats from each country and mid-level executives from each company have been residing in the lobby of the headquarters for a long time.
It was not difficult for Raul to seek cooperation from each country and related companies in this investigation.
We had already secured enough evidence and witnesses, and there were many people who wanted the First Company’s cooperation in some way.
Things were resolved just by Kim Il-woo setting up a few meetings.
Another thing that helped me was Connect Co., Ltd.
-Until this ‘Connect kidnapping situation’ is properly resolved, we will stop providing capsules to places where related countries and companies are located. In addition, in the future, capsules will be collected from those who harm other players in real life and their access will be permanently blocked.
As this was a crime committed against the main customers of Connect Co., Ltd., it was not strange for them to speak out.
Thanks to this, the countries involved in this kidnapping incident, including the United States, China, Korea, and Russia, were the ones who immediately fell under fire.
People who were unable to receive immediate supply of capsules began protesting in front of the government building.
In addition, a rally was held by a player group denouncing the public authorities’ failure to properly protect their citizens, so the government needed to resolve the case quickly somehow.
From the gangster organization that carried out the kidnapping to those who collaborated with it, they were arrested one after another.
The owner and company of the vessel used to transport the kidnappers were also searched and seized.
And the intermediate stopover where the ship was heading.
A large-scale detention facility was discovered underground on an uninhabited island located in the West Sea, shaking the world once again.
It appears that the place was not only used for this incident, but old blood traces, bone fragments, and even corpses were found there.
The investigative team was making all-out efforts to track down the owner of the uninhabited island and the person who built the facility there.
While the investigation was going on, there was one company that was being talked about again: First Company.
It was already secretly known that their players were treated extremely well and their security was tight, but through this incident, their awareness soared to a sky-high level.
In fact, this rescue operation had a high risk of being illegal in the sense that it was a civilian ‘destructive rescue’.
However, the reason there is no mention of this is because thorough legal procedures and preparations for this have already been completed.
In fact, some of the kidnapped victims had submitted a request for security to First Security Co., Ltd., and some had signed a contract with First Management Co., Ltd.
‘Well, actually, Label manipulated the documents a bit.’
In any case, through this incident, Raoul sent a clear message.
First Company Co., Ltd. takes full responsibility and protects its members.
For that purpose, they not only launched helicopters and ships, but also made it known to the world that they were equipped with well-trained agents and the latest equipment.
That way, there won’t be any wanderers who rush at him without knowing what’s cool, and those who want to oppose him will think twice.
And now, in front of Raoul, the man in the suit he had longed to see that day was kneeling.
“I brought you here just as you said.”
The man in the suit who was being dragged by the drivers had his face all messed up as he had already been hit by several blows.
“Why are you doing this?”
“well. “I think you know better why I’m doing this? I’m really glad to meet you, you bastard!”
Raoul kicked the guy in the chest.
