Chapter 60: Awakened Criminals (2)
In Oryu-dong, Seo District, Incheon, at the entrance of a dock piled high with thousands of containers, a middle-aged man waved a signal baton to halt a container truck.
"Stop, stop." Clicking his tongue, the man slowly approached the driver's seat while muttering, "What kind of work are they doing at this hour?"
The man stopped in front of the driver's window and tapped it with his baton. As the window rolled down slowly, the man spoke with an annoyed expression, "ID, please. And tell me which company—or wherever—you're from, for verification."
"Oh, I'm sorry." The man in the driver's seat extended his ID out the window.
As the security guard scratched his neck absent-mindedly with the baton, he suddenly froze. "What the...?"
Click!
An ominous sound echoed behind him.
"It's no use playing dumb. You don't have enough loyalty to stake your life helping those bastards," said the man in the car.
Cold metal pressed against the guard's neck.
"Although they didn't reveal their identity, you probably have a rough idea of who they might be," the man in the car continued.
Despite the freezing winter air, sweat dripped down the guard's face.
"The problem is that even after realizing who they were, you continued accepting bribes and helping hide them. If you'd stopped halfway, the story might've been different, but you didn't."
