chapter 31
I searched for Ibiza on my cell phone.
The correct Korean transcription is ‘Ibi’, but among people, it was known as ‘Ibi’.
Ibiza is an island off the Mediterranean coast of Spain, where people from all over the world flock to the clubs and parties throughout the summer.
It is called EDM (Electronic Dance Music) sacred place because people dance to electronic music day and night on ships, beaches, clubs, and on the streets.
In short, the entire island is a club stage.
“But what did that person go to Ibiza for?”
“I would have just gone out of season to play. Son, you know how to play!”
There were still five days left until the date that Director Cheon was supposed to receive the goods from President Baek.
He doesn’t know that President Baek is dead, so he probably didn’t go there to find a new business partner.
“I’m sure he’s having fun buying smuggled gold without Dad’s knowledge and thinking of getting a share.”
Chairman Cheon Tae-soo’s purpose is to buy gold that will be used to bribe politicians under an anonymous name.
However, his son Cheon Yeong-jin went even further and was trying to buy smuggled gold, so he decided to do something bad.
Anyway, thanks to him, an opportunity was created to collect 300 billion won in gold and cash.
Taking money from bad guys is a lot more fun than stocks or coins because it doesn’t require any upfront costs.
“Then you’d better go to Ibiza and do the groundwork beforehand.”
“Yes! It’s too late to wait for him to enter Korea! It’s easier to get into work when you’re just playing around.”
When I nodded, the head of the Heungsangsa continued with an expression full of expectations.
“hahahaha! I’ve been to all of Ibiza! It’s all thanks to Chairman Choi.”
“President?”
The president of Heung Sinso saw me and said it was the chairman.
“We have to keep working together while looking at each other anyway, so let’s sort out the titles and go, Chairman Choi! And please call me President Park as usual.”
I smiled and nodded.
“Sure.”
“I hope to go along well! Chairman Choi!”
President Park, who had been laughing heartily, slowly erased his laughter and opened his mouth with a serious expression.
“however···. Before leaving for Ibiza, I have some things to organize.”
.

A small office in Namdong-gu, Incheon,
<Park Seong-guk Detective Office>
I came to his agency with Park.
When I opened the office door and went inside, there was a female employee sitting in a seat by the window.
When she saw President Park, she jumped up from her seat.
“president! Where have you been!?”
“You called me saying you would be out of the country.”
“I was so worried because I couldn’t contact you for over 15 days!”
President Park looked around the office once and asked a female employee.
“rest of it? Where has everyone gone?”
“that is···. I quit everything.”
While President Park was away for about 20 days, all three male employees quit and the female employee remained in the office alone.
“You bastards without loyalty… They said they would bury bones for the rest of their lives…”
President Park walked into the office and opened the door with a sign saying “No outsiders allowed.”
Then, with a startled expression, he cried out.
“Miss Kim! Where did all the equipment and tools that were here go?”
“That, Manager Kim and Manager Park stole everything in exchange for severance pay.”
Ugh-
Parker let out a sigh and shook his head.
“Why didn’t Miss Kim quit?”
“I like working here. It’s close to my house, so I can walk to and from work…”
President Park handed her an envelope.
“Good job.”
“What’s this?”
“It’s severance pay and half a year’s salary. As of today, the office will be closed.”
She accepted the envelope and nodded to President Park.
He immediately packed his bag and left the office.
Park said to me with a wry smile.
“I need to buy new equipment and tools.”
.
.
.
With the guidance of President Park, I came to a wireless communication equipment store in Cheonggyecheon.
President Park, who was looking at the parts displayed on the shelf, said to the store owner.
“Isn’t there anything better than these children’s toys?”
Then the owner took a quick look at President Park’s behavior and opened his mouth.
“Come inside.”
When the items piled up inside the store were cleared, a small side door was revealed.
Entering through the side door, there was a lot of stuff piled up there too.
Park looked at them and smiled.
“Everything good is here!”
.
.
.
On the way home, I bought several large tables from a thrift store and laid them out in the basement.
President Park spread out the equipment, tools and parts he bought today on the table with a happy expression on his face.
“Thank you for buying only the highest quality equipment and tools! They were so expensive that I couldn’t buy them with my own money.”
The equipment and parts that President Park purchased today were high-performance enough to be used for crimes, so ordinary people could not buy them.
So I bought everything with cash instead of paying by card.
Lulu-
President Park hummed a song to organize the parts, then heated up the iron and started soldering.
He immediately went into the production of wiretapping equipment.
I walked to the door and told him.
“I’ll go outside and come back.”
“Come on! Please buy me some snacks when you come.”
Judging from President Park’s actions so far, he wouldn’t do anything stupid if left alone.
He knew better than anyone else my surreal abilities as well as my ruthless ability to ruthlessly eliminate enemies.
Moreover, he showed me his biggest weakness, his daughter.
I smiled and asked him.
“Can I buy you something?”
“Anything sweet is good!”
.

I drove the car and came to Myeong-dong.
I came to exchange money, which is an essential course in preparing for an overseas trip.
I entered the exchange office and sat in front of the window.
“Did you come to exchange money?”
“Yes, I want to exchange Hanwha for USD.”
“How much do you need?”
“Ten thousand dollars.”
“ID, please.”
If you have cash in excess of USD 10,000 when entering or leaving overseas, you must declare it to customs.
I just put the money in my inventory, so no matter how many US dollars I have, I don’t get caught up in customs.
The problem is that you cannot convert large sums of money into US dollars.
If you could convert all the money in your inventory into US dollars, it would be much easier to buy gold anonymously, as well as use it to travel abroad.
It’s because you can go to a country that doesn’t impose a value-added tax on gold and buy a lot of gold with dollars.
Unfortunately, that was not possible.
If it was easy to convert Korean currency of unknown origin to US dollars, Korean-Chinese voice phishing criminals would not have to launder money in gold.
Just exchange Korean money for dollars and run away to China.
However, voice phishing criminals cannot do that because the Korean government monitors dollar trading more closely than gold trading.
Not only criminals, but ordinary people also had a complicated procedure to convert large amounts of money into dollars.
It is a violation of the Foreign Exchange Transactions Act if a large sum of money is exchanged for dollars without specifying the purpose, even if the source of the money is clear, such as salary or profit from legitimate investment.
The reason why some celebrities eat bean rice while gambling abroad is not because of the gambling act itself, but because they violated the Foreign Exchange Transactions Act.
It is illegally buying dollars to bet big money on gambling and then being caught.
The limit for exchanging Korean money for foreign money without having to report it to the government agency was 50,000 dollars per year per person, including exchange and remittance.
I could change only less than 100 million won a year, so it was just an allowance for me now.
“I exchanged 10,000 USD.”
The money changer handed me the dollar and the money change slip.
I returned to Gangnam right away.
I bought a lot of summer clothes and a new travel bag on the luxury street.
Then I got my hair cut at a hair salon.
It was to make the trip feel right.
The focus of this trip to Ibiza is rest, and Cheon’s job is both a job and a job.
After walking around the luxury streets, I bought sweet snacks for President Park and returned home.

The next day we left for Ibiza.
You can stay in Spain for 90 days without a visa, so you can go right away by buying an air ticket.
After completing the departure procedure at Incheon Airport, I boarded the plane.
For the first time in my life, I sat in first class on an airplane.
There was no direct flight from Incheon Airport to Ibiza Airport.
After flying for over 14 hours, I arrived at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol.
And from there, I changed planes and flew for more than 2 hours, finally arriving at Ibiza Airport.
It’s a shame because it’s first class, but if I had been sitting in the general class, it would have been cramped and difficult.
After the immigration process, I went out of the airport to find my luggage.
Palm trees were lined up under a deep blue sky that looked like it had been painted on.
glaring-
The sun was strong, but the temperature was not very high.
And unlike when I went to Bali, it wasn’t too humid, so I didn’t feel uncomfortable when I breathed.
It is true that the Mediterranean climate is so good for people to live.
‘Let’s see.’
First of all, I moved to a secluded place with no people.
Then, after checking the surroundings for CCTV, I reached out my hand toward the air.
hiss-
I took President Park out of the inventory.
President Park, wearing a floral shirt and sunglasses, looked around.
Then, when I saw the blue sky and the palm trees, I loved it.
“We have arrived! I didn’t like taking a long flight, but it’s really cool!”
Great for the subject of smuggling into Spain.
“Where can I go now?”
“Please wait.”
President Park took out the cannon phone that he had applied for roaming in advance.
And I checked Chun Young-jin’s SNS.
“For now, let’s go to the hotel he’s staying at!”
***
Ibiza Calacomde Beach.
There was a shabby warehouse far away from where tourists enjoy playing in the water.
puck-
puck-
A dull sound came from inside the warehouse.
An Asian man was beating several white men.
The white men were all wrapped in tape while sitting on chairs.
The Asian man who was beating them was Cheon Young-jin, general manager of Angel Capital.
A dozen of his men watched in silence as he beat the white men.
Cheon Young-jin shouted at the white men.
“Dogs! Seed again!”
puck-
evil!
Cheon Young-jin, who had been hitting the men with his fists, screamed and grabbed his own wrists.
He misplaced it and sprained his wrist.
“Aww, f*ck!”
Cheon Young-jin, who exploded in anger, picked up the heavy pipe wrench in the warehouse.
snap-
snap-
And with that, he started to smash the heads of the white men one by one.
Blood and brains splattered everywhere.
snap-
snap-
Chun Young-jin, who had killed all the white men, pointed to the bodies and told his men.
“Take it and throw it away!”
The subordinates skillfully began to collect the body.
Chun Young-jin muttered as he wiped the blood off his face.
“These bastards dare to treat me like a chink…”
Today, five white men playing on the beach said one word, ‘Nihao’ to Cheon Young-jin, who was passing nearby, and then changed their name.
