Sands Cotai Venetian Hotel Casino (VVIP Room), Macau SAR, Republic of China

Jjangcheon was so engrossed in gambling that he did not notice when Chief Park Gi-oong approached him. It was as if he had temporarily lost his secret agent senses.

Ssshh! Pussh!

Chief Park Gi-oong approached from the right and placed a bet on the roulette table. At the same time, he stabbed something into the side of Jjangcheon with his left hand.

After being stabbed by a sharp needle, Jjangcheon who had felt something, turned his head to look at Chief Park Gi-oong, but before he had a chance to react, his mind became hazy and his legs began to buckle underneath him. Chief Park Gi-oong placed his bet on the table and pretended not to notice what was happening. Meanwhile, Manager Lee Ja-seong touched Jjangcheon’s shoulder and talked to him as if he was a very close friend.

“Hey! Robert Jang! Hey, you’re here! Did you earn some money?”

As he turned to look at the manager, Lee Ja-sung, Jjangcheon collapsed. Manager Lee Ja-sung, who spoke to him in a friendly manner, continued to pretend to be his friend.

“Oh! What’s wrong with you? Oh! He drank too much.”

“What’s going on?”

As some customers buzzed, security officers from the VVIP room approached and talked to them. They were all big-sized people.

“Oh! He’s my friend. He won some money today but he seems to have drunk a little too much. I think I need we need a place to rest for a while.”

“Yes, come this way.”

The employee, who had an upturned look that did not fit his size, led him to the lounge.

“Oh, rather than there, the sky lounge would be better.”

“Oh! Do you want to go there?”

“Yes, I think he’ll wake up faster when he sees the night view. He is having some luck today, so he’ll have to wake up quickly and win some money again. Hahaha.”

Chief Park Gi-oong, who was watching next to Lee Ja-sung as if he knew nothing, smiled without realizing it.

“Then I’ll guide you to the sky lounge. Please come this way.”

Just then, Jjangcheon struggled to say something but Lee Ja-seong held on to him tightly with both hands.

“Stay calm, you punk!”

Then, he asked Chief Park Gi-oong for a helping hand.

“Hey! I know I don’t know you but do you think you can help me? My friend is completely drunk here. I’d appreciate it if you could help me get to the sky lounge.”

“Me?”

Chief Park Gi-oong pointed at himself with his finger and looked embarrassed.

With Lee Ja-sung’s meticulousness to take care of money following the kidnapping of Jjangcheon, Chief Park Gi-oong stuck his tongue inside and put Jjangcheon’s money on the betting table in a box.

“Okay, let’s go!”

At that moment, the manager, Lee Ja-seong, gave Alpha Four instructions through silent communication.

“Alpha four! Take care of the elevator camera!”

“This is Alpha Four! Taking down the elevator camera.”

Manager Lee Ja-sung, continued to assist Jjangcheon who had difficulty walking and got on the elevator heading to the sky lounge with the guidance of staff members.

“Do you want me to show you to the sky lounge?”

“Ah! It’s alright. It’s not like I’ve never been there. Thank you.”

“Yes, please take good care of yourself and come back down to continue to enjoy the games.”

The employee politely greeted Jjangcheon, was viewed with half-closed eyes and went back to his seat.

In response, Jjangcheon tried to say something by waving his hand in the air but was immediately stopped by Chief Park Gi-oong.

“Stay quiet if you don’t want to die!”

Chief Park Gi-oong, who snatched Jjangcheon’s hand, whispered in his ear. At this, Jjangcheon tried to struggle more but his body did not listen.

After a while, the elevator arrived at the sky lounge, which was located on the 24th floor, the highest floor of the Venetian Hotel. A female employee was waiting in front of the elevator as the VVIP room staff had contacted her in advance.

“May I help you?”

When asked by a friendly female employee, manager, Lee Ja-sung, smiled brightly and said.

“Yes. Can I get a room to take a break?”

“Yes, I’ll guide you, sir! Follow me.”

“Thank you.”

Sa far, the plan was going as they had hoped.

The room they were given was a large room with a panoramic view of downtown Macau. It was a space where VVIP guests had spacious beds, sofas, and tables to rest at for a while.

“Please rest comfortably. If you need anything, you can press the call button. Thank you.”

When the female employee left, they threw Jjangcheon, who they were still supporting, onto the bed.

“Hey! Why is this punk so heavy?”

Manager Lee Ja-sung sent all agents a silent communication while Chief Park Gi-oong turned around while watching Jjangcheon lying on the bed.

“The target is at the sky lounge. It has been delivered safely! Let’s move on to the next step. Alpha Zero!”

“This is Alpha Zero!”

“Let’s leave in 10 minutes!”

“This is Alpha Zero! Over!”

The next step was to leave the rooftop of the sky lounge while avoiding being seen by the customers and employees.

Manager Lee Ja-sung, who sat on the sofa to catch his breath for a while, smoothed the wig, mustache, and silicone attached to his face as a disguise. Chief Park Gi-oong also had a mask on that had become slightly twisted to one side when Jjangcheon struggled.

“Excuse me! Shouldn’t we give him another shot? Most people usually stay still like corpses but he keeps tossing and turning.”

In response, manager, Lee Ja-sung, waved his hands and responded.

“Then he will be dead. In a little while, he’ll be completely intoxicated on medicine.”

“Did you hear that? You punk! Stay still or you will be soon dead.”

Chief Park Gi-oong, who looked down at Jjangcheon who was lying down, spoke.

Jjangcheon’s eyes, which had lost focus, showed a small tremor. He seemed to have unconsciously sensed that the current situation he was in was a threat to his safety.

“This is Alpha Zero! Let’s go! It will arrive in exactly five minutes at 11:23 p.m.”

“Okay. We’ll be waiting on the rooftop in five minutes.”

Manager Lee Ja-sung rose from the sofa after checking the time on his wristwatch.

“Chief Park, get ready!”

“Yes, manager!”

“Alpha four!”

“This is Alpha Four!”

“After a minute, move on to level two.”

“This is Alpha Four! In a minute, we’ll turn off all the power on the lounge on the 24th floor. It takes less than two minutes for the emergency generator to turn back. You have to come out to the rooftop within that time.”

“Okay.”

Sands Cotai Venetian Hotel, Macau Special Region, Republic of China (VVIP Security Office)

A strange signal was found in the VVIP security room of the Venetian Hotel, which had a state-of-the-art security system for VVIP members.

This was because the CC camera of the elevator that had gone up to the sky lounge with Jjangcheon was briefly out of order, and a face that had never been photographed by the CC camera at the casino for the general public was suddenly spotted in the sky lounge.

The Venetian Hotel did not have any CC cameras in the VVIP room and sky lounge for the safety of VVIP members. However, elevators moving between the VIP and VVIP floors, and elevators heading to the Sky Lounge were equipped with CC cameras for safety reasons. Furthermore, though illegal, small cameras were installed on the female employee’s uniforms to monitor what was happening in real-time.

All CC cameras inside the Venetian Hotel could be controlled by the External Information Division 1, but the small camera illegally attached to the employee’s uniform was an unexpected mistake.

The security office’s central computer began a comparative analysis of photos of the three photographed in-house by a small camera, of which one was detected that he had never been photographed by the elevator camera that moves between the VIP and VVIP floors and at the regular casino today. A member information inquiry was immediately entered.

“Manager! It is on monitor number three. The guy on the left! He is not on the VVIP membership list.”

A security employee pointed his finger at monitor number three and explained.

“What? How did he get to the sky lounge when he is not a member of VVIP?”

“Something is suspicious. When that guy came up to the sky lounge, the elevator camera went down, too.”

“Really? Oh my god! It’s an emergency. Post a picture of him and send his picture to the security officers!”

“Yes, I see. I’ll notify the staff on the emergency.”

Following the spread of an emergency in the security office, a photo of the face of Chief Park Gi-oong, who had disguised himself, was sent to the security officers at the Venetian Hotel. In no time at all, all security officers had swarmed the sky lounge.

At that moment, all the power of the twenty-fourth-floor sky lounge went down and all the lights were turned off.

December 7th, 2023 00:20, (Macao time 6th 23:20)

The Sky Lounge of Sands Cotai Venetian Hotel, Macau Special District, Republic of China

Guests in the sky lounge were panicking and making a fuss when the power had suddenly gone out.

“This is Alpha four! The 24th floor is all shut down. Again, it takes less than two minutes for the emergency generator to turn on.”

“Alpha four! Okay. We are moving. Chief Park! Let’s go! We have to be on the rooftop in two minutes!”

“Yes, manager! Let’s go.”

The two men, who were supporting Jjangcheon, who had been completely stretched out after being drugged, opened the door to the rooftop. They were using special glasses equipped with an infrared function.

When they stepped out into the dark, they made their way through the crowd, When they reached the rooftop entrance, several flashlights suddenly pointed at them, and soon a cry rang.

“Stop there! Who are you?”

They were security officers.

“Chief Park, support him and go up to the rooftop. I’ll delay them for a while and make my way up right after.”

“Oh! I’ll do it. You take him up.”

“We don’t have time! It’s an order! Hurry up!”

Manager Lee Ja-sung forcibly pushed Jjangcheon onto Park Gi-oong for support and shoved them through the door.

“Oh, manager! Hurry and come on up.”

“Okay! Don’t worry and go up!”

“Yes! Okay.”

While the conversation was brief, the security officers equipped with flashlights who were approaching Manager Lee Ja-sung were already just around the corner.

Whoops! puck! puck!

Manager Lee Ja-sung, who could see as clear as day in the dark, was temporarily blinded by the flashlight. Despite that, he managed to strike the eyes and chin of the security officers who had approached him.

When one of the security officers had collapsed due to a sudden jab, the other one who was with him pulled a pistol from his holster and aimed.

Soon after, gunfire rang out throughout the sky lounge.

bang! Tatatang! bang! bang!

At the moment, VVIP members screamed and scattered in all directions, and some members lay flat on the floor.

Manager Lee Ja-sung, who flew himself toward the stand bar table on the left side of the door, took a deep breath and looked around.

“Did they notice?”

If the security officer had fired the gun blindly even in the presence of VVIP members, it meant that they had noticed something. Manager, Lee Ja-sung, checked the time on his wristwatch and dashed through the flashing lights, grabbing the neck of the nearest security officer.

A technique that could only have been performed by a professional wrestler came from the hands of the manager, Lee Ja-sung. When he wrapped his right arm around the security officer’s neck and broke it, the large security officer tumbled backwards, and the heavy sound of his head hitting the ground echoed on the floor.

Tatang! Tang Tang! Tatata Tang!

The beam of the flashlight followed Lee Ja-sung and a gunshot rang once again.

Manager Lee Ja-sung, who had pulled a pistol from the hands of a fallen security officer, rolled over and launched a counterattack.

bang! bang! bang! bang!

Four shots were fired from Lee Ja-sung’s pistol. As a result, four security officers collapsed grabbing their arms.

Even as he fired the shots while on the move, he managed to accurately aim only the arms of the security officers.

At that time, Chief Park Gi-oong had reached the rooftop carrying Jjangcheon on his back. He grabbed the outer wall to catch his breath, then began to run toward the skybus, which landed on the rooftop right on time.

“Oh? Chief Park! What about the manager?”

“The manager is holding off the security officers because we got unlucky!”

“What?”

“Get him on the ride!”

Agents from the skybus took over Jjangcheon, who was on the back of team leader Park Gi-woong, carried him and threw him inside. Accordingly, Chief Park Gi-oong sent a silent communication to manager Lee Ja-sung.

“This is Alpha One! Manager! Come up!! I have already put Jjangcheon on the skybus.”

“Get out first. I think I’ll be late! Tell the other teams to withdraw, too!”

“Hey! Deputy Manager Oh! Do you have an electronic rod?”

“What? Here.”

Deputy Manager Oh Seok-jin handed over a 10-centimeter electronic rod handle from his inner pocket. Upon receiving this, Chief Park Gi-oong shouted while running out of the rooftop door.

“If we don’t come back in the next three minutes, leave right away! Tell the other teams to withdraw, too!”

“Yes, okay.”
