Sooho - Chapter 220

After parting with Aquilan, Ahn Soo Ho arrived in Frankfurt. He didn’t go with any plans, but someone was waiting for him.

“I’m sorry, Wolf.”

“It’s not your fault, Soo Ho. We were just unlucky.”

Ginter waved his hand to Ahn Soo Ho’s apology. The two who parted in Hawaii and met again in Frankfurt had a headache because of the Garcia problem, but just like Aquilan had said, Hector was being targeted by a powerful person who wasn’t keen of him.

“Did you look into why this happened?’

Ginter responded by handing Ahn Soo Ho a file. And on it was a name that he did not expect.

‘Andre Sluski?’

Monsters raised by the Cold War.

If America was any less democratic, the downfall of the Soviet Union would have happened 20 or 30 years earlier. And the Soviet Union’s communist party was aware of this. While they competed against America with national programs like the space program, they ended up focusing on research for individual development in the 70s and 80s due to economic issues.

Just like Jeremy said, the CIA had a lot of interest in Hector Garcia and even the KGB brokers were interested in him. He then thought of Maxim Ivanovich Djorkaeff, who died last year in Brazil.

‘It’s possible that an even worse spy program than Ultra could exist.’

Ahn Soo Ho was flipping through the pages of the file when he stopped.

“Huh? What’s wrong?”

Ginter noticed Ahn Soo Ho’s frown and looked over at the file.

“Yusef? Why? He’s already dead. Do you know him?”

“Where did you get this information?”

“Our intelligence agency.”

“In Germany?”

He tilted his head and then nodded. It had only been 30 years since the Berlin Wall went down. 1/5 of the Germans used to be a part of the Communist Party. But after the countless secret documents were destroyed, their whereabouts became uncertain.

Ahn Soo Ho thought for a minute and then lifted his head.

“I’ll deal with Kracek.”

“Killing him isn’t the only way, Soo Ho.”

“Are you saying you understand him?”

“No, but the pain of losing a child… is impossible to understand unless you’ve been through it yourself. Everyone hits rock bottom at some point, Soo Ho. Isn’t this against your rules?”

One chance to save their own lives. Wolfgang Ginter reminded Ahn Soo Ho of his rule. Ahn Soo Ho nodded. The old man in front of him had also lost his child to an accident. He looked too sad to turn down.

“I’ll keep that in mind.”

“I hope for good news, Soo Ho.”

Ahn Soo Ho saw off the old man and then looked back at the file.

‘Yusef.’

It was a common but familiar name. Ahn Soo Ho clearly remembered him. That was because he killed him out of rage and annoyance.

He took out his phone.

“Kosi, where’s Alexa?”

“Alexa? She’s probably in Odessa with the other guys.”

“What about you?”

“I’m in Monaco.”

“The black market?”

“I found an item I’m interested in.”

She was interested in shopping.

“Give me the address in Odessa.”

“You’re not going to call her yourself?”

“She’ll probably run away since she’s on vacation.”

“That’s true. Okay.”

With Alexa’s personality, she was bound to get mad if he bothered her on vacation. Ahn Soo Ho hung up the phone. He returned to his hotel but ran into an unwelcomed guest at the doors.

“Soo Ho.”

“Sylvestre?”

Unlike the pretty woman he met at the bus parking lot, this time, he transformed into an elderly gentleman. Since Ahn Soo Ho recognized him right off the bat, he couldn’t trick him anymore.

“Should I send you back?”

“No.”

“Why not? Space travel is nice.”

“No, thank you.”

They sat down on a bench across from the hotel.

“I meant it when I said the population needs to be reduced.”

“So?”

“I’m planning to attack China and India first.”

“By first… you mean there are others?”

“Yeah. America’s status is still too high.”

“I guess it’s hard to establish a balance with America in the picture.”

He was thankful that he didn’t say any bullshit just yet.

“So you want to control this world from behind the curtains.”

“As long as you’re okay with it.”

“It won’t be easy.”

“I can control all my other competitors.”

“No, it’s not that…”

As soon as Ahn Soo Ho waved his finger, Sylvestre nodded.

“Are you talking about the monitors?”

“Intelligence agencies from all over the world are probably trying to figure out who you are. And I’m not loyal enough to keep your secrets.”

If anyone had to pay the price, Ahn Soo Ho was going to talk. Sylvestre smiled.

“Then I’d better beat you to the punch.”

“What?”

“I heard you’re looking for Kracek.”

“Oh.”

He was listening now.

******

Thanks to the French president who promised to return all Korean cultural assets, Ahn Soo Ho became a national hero once again. The powers that tried to use the media to put pressure on Daesan and Hosoo Group disappeared.

Hosoo Entertainment Group is holding a survey among all employees!

An urgent survey! Is the group moving abroad?

“I’ll take responsibility for all my employees!” The Emerald Plan surfaces!

The financial loss is around 50 trillion won every year!

The protesters that were protesting against the company were now protesting against them transferring locations. Even Oh Joo Kyung stepped up to announce that there was going to be no transfer for the time being, but all they could hear was “for the time being”.

Hosoo Entertainment Group is not moving for the time being, but maybe in the future!

Vice-Chairman Oh Joo Kyung insists that there will be no transfer!

The controversy continues! What are the chances Hosoo Entertainment Group will move abroad?

China, Japan, and all of Asia are in chaos!

People wanted to interview the owner, but Ahn Soo Ho became a bigger tycoon than Kim Dae San of Daesan Group. As a result, he became impossible to approach, and the first to get caught was his little sister.

Fantastic 4!

A girl group composed of Lee So Hye, Ahn Da Sol, Emily, and Rachel. It was common for another name to become their group name, but there was no other girl group that attracted as much as attention since before their debut. Not just in Korea, but in all of Asia.

It was all thanks to Hosoo Entertainment’s push.

Why did aspiring celebrities pick big agencies? Because they had a stronger force to push their celebrities. Today’s stars weren’t born that way, but were created by countless professionals. But there were those who shined on their own as well.

Ahn Da Sol, Emily, and Rachel seemed like pros, while Lee So Hye was a newbie. She was lacking but pure, and to put it frankly, she got in through her big brother, Ahn Soo Ho’s connections. She was bound to hear bad things. But those who actually knew her couldn’t hate her.

Why?

Because they were afraid of Ahn Soo Ho? That wasn’t the reason.

Lee So Hye’s hardworking and passionate attitude was impossible to hate. She acted like she knew the world, but she was still innocent. The business was a cold world, and the young idols were very mature on the inside. The teenagers these days were so mature that one couldn’t look down on them for being young.

Most aspiring idols started off in society early. If a person looked down on them for being teenagers, that person was just asking for backlash.

A good example was Ahn Da Sol.

Most were perfectionists with strong personalities who constantly harassed the agency. But since they were expected to be that way, no one scolded them for it.

As a result of the Angola Circle breaking up, Ahn Da Sol no longer needed Ahn Soo Ho’s protection, but she liked the life of a celebrity. She had been living in hiding all this time, but she was starting to wonder if that was really necessary.

Ahn Soo Ho was right.

The world revolved just fine without them.

‘I lived such a boring life for nothing.’

Presiding over human civilization.

Issac felt the need to guide mankind while J-Law also believed they needed to lead mankind. And since Michel saw helping mankind as his calling, he was no different.

However, when looking at it from afar, the world was not that special. Even at this very moment, someone was being born while someone was dying, while someone was succeeding and someone was failing. And tomorrow was going to be just the same.

Ahn Da Sol understood Ahn Soo Ho’s feeling.

‘Emptiness.’

Being overly strong made one feel empty. She had once felt that way before, but that was back during the barbaric times. In the modern times of missiles and nuclear weapons, supernatural powers weren’t as powerful anymore. However, Ahn Soo Ho somehow managed to even defeat the US military.

Could that be credited to supernatural powers alone?

During the second World War, Ahn Da Sol worked with the Japanese military as Kumiko and even participated in human experiments. At the time, Issac, J-Law, and Michel all felt that there was a crisis of the development of human civilization.

‘How embarrassing.’

She was even embarrassed about it now.

“Sol?”

Rachel called Ahn Da Sol and woke her up from her thoughts.

“Sorry.”

Ahn Da Sol whispered to Rachel and gave her her focus. They were currently at HBS as soon as they returned from Hawaii.

“What are you two talking about?”

The host noticed Rachel and Ahn Da Sol whispering to each other. Rachel, who was fluent in Korean, switched back to foreigner mode.

“What?”

“Do you pretend to be a foreigner when you don’t want to answer?”

The host turned his attention to Ahn Da Sol.

“You’re American, too, right?”

“Yes, I was born there.”

“I have to ask… how did you meet CEO Ahn Soo Ho?”

“As many already know, CEO Ahn is my cousin. Every time he visited America, he slept over at our house.”

“Was he a great man back then as well?”

“Not at all!”

“No?”

Ahn Da Sol shook her head, and the host showed a surprised response.

“Well… he only slept when he came over. Like an old man.”

“Haha. He must miss the military life.”

Rachel realized where this was going and immediately showed off a sexy dance. She then blew a kiss at the camera.

“I love you, Korean army!”

When a foreigner spoke fluent Korean, Koreans usually found it fascinating. And the girls realized that early. Using their awkward accents to make it seem like they were always working hard at the language worked on not just Koreans but everyone in Asia.

It was different from America and Europe, where they stressed the importance of professionals only. But that didn’t mean their talent was lacking. Even the least skilled—Lee So Hye—was improving by the day and beating out all the other Korean idols.

“Our meeting with Soo Ho was dramatic.”

Emily proceeded to tell her story about Ahn Soo Ho. The story about how they first met on the roads of Jejudo and all the jokes he told. When the host and guests laughed, Rachel tilted her head as if she didn’t find the jokes funny, and the camera captured it all.

Lee So Hye was the last one to go.

Despite being the group’s leader, she seemed discouraged a lot, so fans called her pathetic. But what was funny was that she always ended up being in charge. Seeing how other members got into trouble while she didn’t, Lee So Hye was the leader after all.

One day, the paparazzi even captured her scolding the other members, and people thought that was cute more than anything negative. That was because most people criticized the other members for not treating her like the leader. And some fans were very passionate about it.

Leader’s dignity.jpg

One photo caused quite the sensation.

Blood is thicker than water!

She’s a tiger! It’s like looking at Ahn Soo Ho’s shadow!

I can’t believe she scolded Emily and Rachel! That’s our leader!

But in the meantime, Ahn Da Sol and Emily are fighting! They look good though!

Isn’t Emily’s rap crazy? She can speak both Korean and English, so it sounds so natural!

She’s better than most rappers!

Even Jamie Cole complimented Emily’s rap!

That was rap service!

No one can beat Ahn Soo Ho’s little sister! She’s full of charisma!

It’s too bad! Siblings can’t love each other!

What are you saying? Ahn Soo Ho already has Jang Seol Hyun!

Emily and Rachel are much better in terms of proportions!

Ha? Are you looking down on Jang Seol Hyun? She’s actually a dynamite underneath!

Are you… Soo Ho?

When it came to internet media, the discussion was capable of going in any direction. The fan that started the thread was trying to praise Lee So Hye as a leader, but the discussion went a whole different direction.

The reporters jumped to their own conclusions.

Who has a better body? Emily or Rachel?

Yesterday’s Kang Mina is comparable as well!

Idol? Ha! The ones with the best bodies are models and actresses!

Korea is in the middle of a body war! A wave of diets and fitness!

However, there was a topic that was even more popular.

Soo Ho.

As soon as someone said something negative about Ahn Soo Ho or Hosoo Group, a crazy number of comments followed. Jang Seol Hyun, who returned to her room after enjoying the hotel’s spa with Caroline, tilted her head at a big man who was sitting in front of a computer.

He was completely hunched over in a funny position.

“Soo Ho?”

“Hey.”

“What are you doing?”

“Nothing. You must be tired. Go get some rest.”

“Are you… looking at something weird?”

“No!”

Jang Seol Hyun pushed Ahn Soo Ho and paused at the screen. She immediately saw what he was writing.

Ahn Soo Ho is exactly what this generation…

Anyone that disses Hosoo Entertainment Group is evil!

The national assembly is useless! CEO Ahn should be in the Blue House!

Ha? Are you looking down on Jang Seol Hyun’s body? She’s actually…

Following Ahn Soo Ho’s comments were countless other ones.

Is this… Soo Ho?
