The evidence sent to Lucas’ wife included text messages with his mistress, phone records, and a photo of the two kissing.
The quality of the photo was not good, perhaps because it was taken from a location where people would not be seen, but it was enough to guess who was taking the photo just by the clothes, hairstyle, and blurred facial features.
He ground his teeth.
Paddeuk!
‘If anyone gets caught, I’ll skin them alive…’ !’
The term “skinning” was not just an idiomatic expression.
It was the cartel’s law to execute traitors to the organization in a very cruel manner. Red Scorpion was also a collection of numerous cartels, so it was natural to apply such principles.
If there was a member of the organization identified as the culprit, it was clear that he would be subjected to all sorts of terrible tortures until he died.
Lucas’ eyes quickly scanned the men guarding him.
‘Who on earth are you…? ! ‘Who dared stab me in the back?’
He already considered the culprit who leaked the news of his affair to be one of his subordinates.
Not surprisingly, as he ran both a cartel and a secret society, he was paranoid and obsessed with his own safety.
Even when committing an affair, it was basic for no one to know about his actions except his direct subordinates and mistresses.
However, someone obtained evidence that he was having an affair and accurately reported it to his wife.
‘The smartphone that Juliana and I communicate with is a special smartphone with enhanced security. ‘It’s almost impossible to hack wirelessly.’
The culprit was someone who was close enough to him to hack into his smartphone or his mistress’s smartphone and take pictures.
He even found out his wife’s personal number and reported the evidence he had collected to her.
Therefore, it was natural to suspect that the culprit was among the subordinates who had insight into Lucas’ schedule.
‘Could it be that there was someone who had his eyes on my wife?’
Lucas’ eyes narrowed.
Crunch…
The extravagant gold rings on my fingers made an unpleasant sound as they rubbed together.
His wife was a young model, so it wasn’t surprising that one of his energetic subordinates lost control and did something stupid. Maybe there was someone who wanted to drive a wedge between the two people and take advantage of the gap.
For the first time in a long time, Lucas felt angry enough to make the back of his neck stiffen.
It was Lucas who cheated on his wife, but it was difficult to hold back his anger when he suspected that his subordinate was targeting his woman.
However, contrary to Lucas’ suspicions, the subordinate who betrayed him did not actually exist.
This is because the culprit who reported his affair to his wife was Maria.
Maria hacked Lucas’ smartphone and received text and call records. It was true that remote hacking was almost impossible with real-world technology, but for Maria, it was like a piece of cake.
Even Maria’s actions did not stop at simply securing conversation records. She even secured evidence photos by securing footage from passers-by’s smartphones and CCTVs with Wi-Fi access.
None of this was very difficult for Maria, but considering her abilities, it seemed like a very trivial task. It’s not like reporting evidence of Lucas’ crime, it’s just barely conveying the fact of his affair to his wife.
However, there was a reason why she went through all of this to report the criminal’s affair.
Maria predicted that while it would be nice to create a decoy secret society to prove the security of EnigmaChat, that alone would not be enough to convince other secret societies to use the service.
‘Before releasing the service to the public, people in the secret society need to experience firsthand the need for the service we will create.’
‘That’s right. If things are going well now, there’s no reason to take risks and try new methods.’
‘If there’s no reason, you can just make it.’
The plan that was carried out in this way was this ‘large-scale information leak operation’.
It was like that.
As you can see from the word large-scale, Lucas was not the only one suffering from personal information being leaked.
Maria intentionally leaked some of the personal information of potential targets who were believed to belong to a secret society.
Of course, even Maria couldn’t identify all secret societies.
They were already restricting the use of electronic devices when exchanging important information for fear of hacking and government wiretapping.
So, the information that was leaked was the kind of information that did not pose a threat to them but was nerve-wracking, such as facts about an affair, as in the case of Lucas.
Even if leaked, considering that the target is not a secret society, it is not information that will cause a huge blow, but it is information that cannot be passed over because it is sensitive in other ways.
‘This will stimulate their security awareness and make them feel the need for EnigmaChat. And if the bait is thrown at the right time, it won’t be able to resist biting the hook, at least out of curiosity.’
‘oh… As expected, artificial intelligence without blood or tears… ‘I have no hesitation in destroying a family.’
‘therefore… ! ‘It’s what the master ordered in the first place!’
And Lucas acted exactly as Minho and Maria intended.
He hit the smartphone he used to communicate with his mistress with his shoe.
Kwasik!
“I need to change my smartphone. Find out if there are other models with more secure security.”
“Yes! Okay!”
At that time, the door to the living room opened and another subordinate who was acting as a secretary ran inside.
Jump up!
“Boss! A terrorist incident occurred in New York!”
“… What?”
Lucas’ face was greatly distorted.
The Red Scorpions’ main areas of activity were arms and drug trafficking.
Therefore, it was true that people could not help but be sensitive to news related to weapons and drugs.
Even though Red Scorpion’s base is located in South America, it does not mean that it is not active in other regions. This was especially true in North America, which is geographically close to each other.
Outside of South America, North America was one of the markets where Red Scorpion had the strongest influence.
If something too noisy, like a terrorist attack, other organizations working in the same industry are bound to attract the government’s attention.
What arms dealers like Lucas want is for various organizations and criminals to keep each other in check by purchasing weapons, not to use those weapons to go to war or cause terrorism like crazy people.
From his perspective, it was no different from the appearance of a loach causing nuisance in the market.
“But a terrorist attack occurred in New York… What kind of crazy people would act so thoughtlessly? ”
“Wow… omg… Here’s the news!”
Lucas took the tablet handed to him by his subordinate and held it.
It may not have been such a long distance, but he was breathing heavily, perhaps because the news he was about to deliver was so shocking.
[This is breaking news. At around 2pm today, masked assailants invaded NextGen Financial, a securities firm located on Legacy Avenue. According to survivors who managed to escape from the building, their goal was to blow up the corporate building. An anonymous city official believes that this incident was the work of a criminal organization that suffered losses from NextGen Financial… … .]
“Explosion… ? Committing a bombing in the middle of New York?”
Lucas forgot his anger and looked embarrassed at the fact that it seemed like more crazy people than expected had appeared.
If something really happened that blew up the building, we might have to give up doing business in North America for the next few years.
Despite Lucas’ position as the head of a criminal organization, he could only hope that these idiots would be easily subdued by the police.

The streets of New York were full of life.
Tall buildings in the city towered toward the sky, and the sunlight reflected from their windows made the roads sparkle. The sparkling road had a bustling atmosphere with cars waiting for signals.
It wasn’t just the roads that were full.
The sidewalks where pedestrians roam were also so crowded that if you walked without paying attention, you would bump your shoulder every five steps.
While language with different accents was constantly heard, office workers in suits were seen walking around while talking on their smartphones.
I was looking down at the scenery from the rooftop of a building.
“This place is going to get quite confusing after a while. Maria, please control the traffic lights so that no one gets scared and runs away.”
-Please leave it to me. All signals within ten blocks are already under my control.
I heard Maria’s voice supporting me reassuringly.
I took a bite of a hot dog purchased from a street vendor while watching tourists taking pictures of the streets here and there.
Wow~
“Sprinkled with fried onions, it’s crispy so it’s not bad.”
Cheesy…
-Arrival at the target building. Breach team, ready.
“… Okay, then let’s go.”
After receiving a radio message from the android that the preparations were complete, I poured the remaining hot dog into my mouth.
Then he put on a helmet that covered his face and jumped off the roof of the building.
Hehehe!
The sound of the rapidly cracking wind rang in my ears like a whistle.
