Korean TV series: King of Peninsula 1997

Chapter 171 The Ignorant Korean Peninsula
Without drawing his sword, Li You used it to lift up Tagawa Yuichi's body. The weight caused the sword to bend, wailing, and began to bend under the weight.

Before the blood flowed from the blade to the handle, with a dull thud, Li You pierced the wooden pillar with the sword and nailed Tagawa Yuichi to the pillar.

Yuichi Tagawa still held the revolver tightly in his hand, and Li You smiled sarcastically. Bushido?
Zheng Zhongzhong, who was downstairs, stepped into the small building and began to climb up carefully. The scene along the way was shocking.

There was a massacre in the small building.

He roughly thought about the number of corpses here. There were nearly sixty people in the first three floors alone, not including the ordinary members and ninjas who were killed by a single knife outside the small building.

Li You killed ninety people along the way. Or was it a hundred?

Zheng Zhong shook his head and suddenly stopped being cautious. He rushed in only after hearing the gunshots on the top floor, but it seemed that everyone here had been killed.

He walked to the top floor in a swagger, and the deaths of many corpses he saw along the way made him want to vomit.

At the top level, Li You stood quietly on the edge of the observation deck, watching the Jiangnan Security employees in the village finishing off those who were still alive.

The flames have begun to spread in this place which is considered to be the village of the Tagawa family.

This is where the head of the family and all the fighting forces of the Tagawa family come from. Fortunately, ordinary people from the Tagawa family do not live here, otherwise they would have committed more murders.

"President nim."

Zheng Zhong secretly glanced at the man nailed to the pillar, lowered his head obediently, but saw half of the bullet rolling on the ground.

He looked around in the moonlight and found another half of the bullet on the other side.

So the bullet was split.

Zheng Zaizhong felt that his idea was a bit ridiculous, but Li You would not take out the bullets from the gun and chop them one by one for fun.

So it was really split open?
"Are there any casualties?"

Hearing Li You's words, Zheng Zaizhong took a breath and calmed his turbulent mind, "Two were slightly injured."

"You lured away their strong fighters. We only dealt with some ordinary guards, so there was no loss."

"Clean it up, don't start a big fire, but don't leave anyone alive either."

"Yes, President Nim."

This place is close to the mountains and jungles. If a fire breaks out, it will be difficult to deal with and the government will target us.

"."

As the shouting and screaming in the village fell silent, Li You waved his hand, signaling them to close the gate.

They got on the bus, and luckily the bus was still usable.

But before they left, a car drove up. When the Japanese man inside saw the bus, he stuck his head out and immediately turned the car around.

"Catch up."

Although it was somewhat difficult for the bus to chase a car on the road, there were many small roads and rivers in Osaka City, and the roads could easily get stuck.

During the continuous chase, the panicked Japanese man turned left and right and drove the car to a street with not many vehicles passing by.

Fumio Tagawa is very panicked now. As a close confidant of Yuichi Tagawa, he is also a secretary and intelligence investigator.

He was at home enjoying the company of his wife and children tonight when he received a report from his subordinates that the bus from Tamamonomae had left. He did not take it seriously, thinking it was just sending the Koreans back to the hotel.

But after a long time, his subordinates at the hotel reported to him that the bus did not return to the hotel. Only then did he realize something was wrong. He hurried over and found the bus parked in front of Tianchuan's house!

They are still chasing him. Could it be that all the members of the Tagawa family have been killed by them?
Fear rose in Fumio Tagawa's mind, he didn't want to die.

He thought about the chance to survive, as long as he got there he would be alive.

Seeing the hotel with neon lights hanging in front of him, he ignored the grass and people on the road and rushed straight to the door.

The bus roared over and caught up with the back of the old car. The huge inertia caused the car to spin and crash into the wall of the hotel.

Why I like this old model
Fumio Tagawa likes to collect old cars, but today's old cars can't escape him.

Zheng Zaizhong broke the car window and dragged out Tanaka Fumio, who was dizzy like a dead dog, attracting people at the hotel entrance to stop and watch.

To Zheng Zhong's surprise, these people didn't seem surprised at all, but just looked at him with interest.

Li You was holding Tagawa Yuichi's katana. He poked the tip of the katana into Tagawa Fumio's shoulder, causing him to wake up from the pain. "You want to go to the Continental Hotel and survive?"

Li You smiled and looked up at the sign, "Can I go in?"

Fumio Tagawa is now very desperate because he can't understand Korean.

"Can you please not kill people here?" A middle-aged man wearing a luxurious black-patterned kimono stood at the door and asked Li You in English.

Li You sat in this broken car and looked at the Japanese man who was leading people over. "What's the benefit?"

The gangster behind him wanted to step forward, but Shimazu Hiroshi reached out to stop him. He had been drinking with friends at the bar on the first floor, but was disturbed by the loud crash, so he came out.

As soon as he approached Li You, he could smell the strong smell of blood, and when he looked directly at Li You, he could also faintly sense the cold and bone-chilling murderous intent.
That was because he had killed too many people in a short period of time and could not suppress his murderous intent.

This man must have killed dozens or even hundreds of people tonight, otherwise there wouldn't be such a strong smell of blood and murderous intent.

Shimazu Hiroshi smiled politely, "You don't have to pay for the damage to the hotel."

Although Li You is quite fierce, Shimazu Hiroshi has been the manager of mainland hotels for so many years and has his own courage.

Li You grinned, pulled the sword out of Tagawa Fumio's shoulder, and carried it on his shoulder, "Zhong, you guys take him back."

"Yes, President Nim."

Shimazu Hiroshi narrowed his eyes, he understood the word "President".

Li You offered, "Would you like to buy me a drink?" This was a good opportunity to explore the mainland hotel.

Shimazu Hiroshi fixed his eyes on the long sword on Li You's shoulder, "Are you a member of the Nakayama family?"

"Jeonju Lee."

Shimazu Hiroshi understood that Nakayama Meigi was from the Jeonju Lee clan of the Korean Peninsula, so it was not against the rules. "You are holding Tagawa Yuichi's katana. It seems that the outcome of tonight has been decided."

He extended his hand toward the hotel door and said, "I'm drinking with my friends, so it's no problem to buy you a drink."

"please."

The door of the Continental Hotel opened wide to Li You. As he watched Li You walk into the hotel, Shimazu Hiroshi instructed the person next to him, "Go find a suitable scabbard."

The lobby of the Continental Hotel in Osaka, with its dark-toned decor and dark pink neon lights, creates a cool yet elegant atmosphere.

Two cherry trees stand proudly in the center of the hall, their branches complex yet orderly, their petals delicate, obviously they are pruned frequently.

The guests in the hall were either sitting or standing, each occupying a dark corner, with cold eyes, disguising themselves as business people, travelers or ordinary passers-by.

Their aura blended strangely into the dark hall, and they talked to each other with polite smiles on their faces.

Li You stepped into the hall holding the long sword in his hand. He immediately attracted attention as he was out of place in the peaceful environment.

He handed the trophy sword to the waiter at the door, ignored the glances from all around, and walked straight to the hotel bar.

The lights in the bar were soft, and classical music was low and rhythmic. Shimazu Hiroshi came over and said, "May I ask your name, sir?"

"Li You."

Shimazu Hiroshi nodded slightly and told the bartender, "I will pay for this gentleman's meal tonight."

"Mr. Li can ask him for drink service," Shimazu Hiroshi bowed his head apologetically, "I still have to accompany my friends, so I'll go first..."

"Why don't you talk to me first?" Li You smiled, "I just happen to have some doubts, and I want the head of the Shimazu family to explain it to me."

Li You strongly suspected that his friend was the future dog lover, John Wick. After all, this Shimazu Hiroshi might even die for him in the future.

Shimazu Hiroshi was silent for a while, his thoughts wandering.

Since there is an uncontrollable factor, why not find out where it came from? John happened to be there.
He nodded gently, "In that case, please wait a moment, Mr. Li. I'll go tell my friend."

Li You picked up the drink prepared by the bartender, took a sip, and followed Shimazu Hiroshi as he walked deeper into the bar.

Seeing the back of the man with long hair draped on both sides of his cheeks, Li You was actually a little excited. He shook his head and suppressed the excitement of killing people.

John Wickburn was drinking and was keenly aware of a strange gaze.

He raised his head and saw Shimazu Hiroshi walking over. After frowning slightly, he lowered his head as if it had nothing to do with him and continued drinking his wine.

Shimazu Hiroshi walked over and said something to Wick, then returned to Li You.

After the drinks were served, even the bartender left.

"What does Mr. Li want to know?" Shimazu Hiroshi drank his wine. "It's not very important information, I can tell you for free, but I also want to ask Mr. Li some questions."

"No problem," Li You nodded, "I have some superficial knowledge of the Continental Hotel, and I also know that you are a global organization, so the first question is why has South Korea never heard of the Continental Hotel?"

Shimazu Hiroshi showed a rare trace of embarrassment on his face, "This is not a very secret news, but please don't be angry if I tell you, Mr. Li."

"First of all, it's because of Korea's unique form," he observed Li You's expression.

Shimazu Hiroshi continued, "Your country came on the scene late, and the first few decades were a period of military government. During this period of time, South Korea's control over the country was comparable to that of North Korea in the north."

Li You nodded, "What about the last ten years?"

"It was because of your military government for decades that Korea experienced the economic development you called the 'Han River Miracle'. After the military government ended, mainland hotels were supposed to be stationed in Korea."

Feeling that the person in front of him did not look like a Korean patriot, Shimazu Hiroshi sighed.

"But at the beginning of this decade, the South Korean government dealt a devastating blow to South Korea's underground organizations. Now South Korea's underground organizations are so low-brow that it's hard to support them even if we want to."

"Can't the high table be propped up?"

When Li You mentioned the high table, Shimazu Hiroshi looked at him for two seconds and smiled, "It seems that Mr. Li knows a lot."

"To be precise, the High Table did not choose to support a Korean spokesperson because, whether in terms of interests or geographical location, South Korea cannot provide resources to the High Table."

Since Li You knew about the High Table and the Continental Hotel, Shimazu Hiroshi might as well explain it to Li You more clearly.

He shook his head. "Support is mutual. We, the runners-up at the high table, are all families with enough power. South Korea... doesn't have that."

"In fact, there are some active assassins overseas in South Korea, but these people will not return to South Korea in the end, let alone publicize that they are assassins and members of mainland hotels."

Li You could understand. Just like New York, which has the Continental Hotel, if you ask the lower-class thugs what the Continental Hotel is, they would be completely clueless and know nothing.

What's more, there are no mainland hotels in the Korean Peninsula.

Shimazu Hiroshi smiled and said, "So it's normal that Mr. Li has never heard of the Continental Hotel, because no one can get information about the Continental Hotel from the outside world, even the information obtained by the Osaka families.
It was just what I gave them within my authority.”

First, the government’s control was too strict, and then because of the scattered crackdowns, they were not worthy of being taken seriously, Li You sighed.

“Does Japan have a chief?”

"We cannot reveal any information about the Chief."

Li You nodded, "What if someone controls most of the underground forces in South Korea?"

Shimazu Hiroshi thought for a moment and looked at Li You intently, "Then this person will naturally be eligible to be invited to the second seat."
