Gender Reversal Politics

“Kwon Ye-sol’s feet must be tied. I want you to help me.”

These were the words I came up with as soon as I visited the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and met with the First Vice Minister.

Actually, there was no need for the vice minister to come out and greet the sudden visit of an active member of the National Assembly. However, it seemed that the reason why they came out so quickly was because of my press conference. Because it’s already dominating the news.

『”Find Kwon Ye-sol.” Up to 10 billion bounty bounty oversea community]

『Are Korean politicians like this? Foreign reporters who visited the National Assembly are stunned

『Huge bounty and professional bounty hunter – even PMC seems to be paying attention』

One news channel had a panel sit down and only discussed the bounty for 30 minutes. It must have been inevitable that they met because of the topicality on their backs.

Seeing the expression on the Vice Minister’s face, he already seemed to regret it. However, once I received my request, it was impossible to reverse it.

“Rep. Suho Lee. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has already taken measures to invalidate passports at the request of the prosecution….”

“Thanks to that, Kwon Yesol became an illegal alien. However, considering Kwon Ye-sol’s wealth, it would not be impossible for him to continue his life of escape. In fact, his whereabouts have been unknown until now.”

“I don’t know what more I can help you with.”

“You just need to send me one official letter.”

I have one request. It was to ask for an official letter to be sent to the diplomatic authorities of all countries where Kwon Ye-sol might be hiding. “If Kwon Ye-sol tries to enter and leave the country with a forged or fake passport, if the examiner in your country succeeds in detecting it, then member of the National Assembly, Lee Su-ho, wants to compensate, so please understand.”

The method of compensation is, of course, money.

It was not meant to be a bounty offered to the private sector, but meant to be given only to public officials who fulfilled their duties.

This was a measure to put pressure on Kwon Ye-sol.

The pressure Kwon Ye-sol feels will become extremely severe if an environment is created in which ordinary citizens are lured by a bounty of 10 billion and find themselves unable to escape to another country through an airport or port.

The first vice minister hesitated without answering.

“It’s okay to refuse.”

“Sir?”

“It’s something that can be done through other channels anyway. It can be done through the Foreign Affairs Bureau of the prosecution or the police, or you can take the form of asking the ruling party in each country in the name of the Peace Party.”

“A political party? What do you mean?”

“All you have to do is ask for cooperation from the secretariats of the ruling parties in Southeast Asia, South America, and Eastern Europe. If Ye-Sol Kwon is found by the immigration officer in your country, or the airport police or the port police, I want to pay a reward in my personal capacity, so I ask for your understanding.”

“… ….”

“Then, naturally, rumors will spread to the government of the country.”

At this, the Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs showed embarrassment on his face. It seemed as if the words “What are you going to do to deal with the aftermath after doing this far?” Were written on his face.

“Huh, Congressman Lee? I’ll give you just one piece of advice. If you take such a bold step, it will be difficult for you to carry out parliamentary diplomacy in the future.”

“Thank you for your concern. Yes. Because of my choice, I may be photographed as a problematic politician in a foreign country, but that’s okay.”

“…… ?”

“Only in Korea, the Manacoin Gate is treated as the most important political issue, but in many countries, it is treated as a hot topic. People don’t really care about other people’s business.”

It is a scandal that is unprecedented in Korea, but in countries where the damage from the Manacoin crisis was not great, there was a high possibility that it would be accepted as a last-minute incident.

Even if my thoughts were wrong and I was filmed as a real problem child, I just had to deal with it myself. After catching Ye-Sol Kwon and robbing the item to close the Mana Coin gate, you will have that much power.

“What would you like to do, Vice Minister?”

“…Sir. Before answering, let me ask you one question. If I don’t cooperate, will you accuse me of protecting Kwon Ye-sol?”

“No. I don’t know if the Vice Minister will believe it even if it’s not.”

The Vice Minister paused for a moment. A lot of thoughts must have passed in that moment. I would have watched the Manacoin gate thinking it was just someone else’s business, but suddenly it was related. Maybe he resents me.

I added a word to urge the worried vice minister.

“After catching Kwon Ye-sol, I will remember the hard work of the Vice Minister.”

“… ….”

“You may think that it is of no use to be recognized by the proportional first seon, but think about it. What is the background that allows me, a beginner, to try this kind of thing? It’s probably not a very bad suggestion to the vice minister either.”

It didn’t take long to get approval.

Shortly thereafter, official letters were delivered to over 120 countries exactly as I ordered. It was quick to get on the foreign press.

It must have been a motivation for inspectors and police officers working at airports and ports around the world. It was like taking drugs.

As a result, Kwon Ye-sol is completely isolated.

It seemed that the day of finding the whereabouts of that human was not far off.

*

Why do you do this to me?

Kwon Ye-sol’s face distorted in an ugly way while checking the news of her departure from Korea.

She couldn’t understand Lee Soo-ho at first.

At least, I could understand why holders who lost their property with Manacoins were rampaging.

It was because Kwon Ye-sol himself was the one who suffered the most damage from the collapse of Manacoin.

It was sad to watch the scene where the wealth that once reached 8 trillion was flowing down. It was heartbreaking to see the Stella-Mana ecosystem collapse, which was a work she had put so much effort into.

Fortunately, Kwon Ye-sol was able to protect part of her property even while mana was collapsing, thanks to her quick and proactive movements.

It was thanks to her timely stealing of the money she had accumulated by gnawing away at part of the Seignorage in her prosperous days, as well as the bits and ether she had accumulated for a long time to defend against the price of mana coins.

‘Oh, I didn’t steal it. It’s originally mine.’

Anyway, Kwon Ye-sol was able to save a considerable amount of money as a result of her quick behavior. Even now, the money was safely managed in various forms.

Unlike Kwon Ye-sol herself, her idiots who couldn’t arrange her lifeboat must have been in a very embarrassing situation.

She wasn’t sorry, but she could sympathize with why she was angry.

However, Lee Soo-ho was not a victim. He was not familiar enough with himself. He was a human who, along with me and Hyeri, questioned the stability of the Mana Coin ecosystem.

In hindsight… This was all because Ha-seon Park couldn’t properly crack down. He’s a f*cking old man who couldn’t even pay for his meal after receiving more than 15 billion won. Even thinking about it now makes me angry.

“Is Park Ha-sun already dead? Even so, I really don’t understand Lee Su-ho.”

I wondered why he was doing this sh*t to catch himself who had never made progress.

And, it was even more absurd that he was actually feeling a sense of crisis because of that sh*t.

It was something suspicious from the time he started talking about it 24 hours a day and gave off a strange feeling, but now it was Lee Soo-ho who actually put up a bounty.

The maximum amount is 10 billion.

Kwon Ye-sol is second to none when it comes to wealth, but unfortunately she was in a position to be pursued.

She is currently staying in Visayas, Philippines.

It was a place where locals killed people for less than 100,000 pesos (2.4 Million won). It is true that it is a favorable environment for escapism, but it was dangerous in a different sense because there were so many Koreans. There was no entity more terrifying than the Koreans I met abroad.

A situation where simply being careful may not be enough.

In the midst of this, the fortunate thing was that I had a network to lean on. I wasn’t talking about private bodyguards.

Feeling impatient, Ye-Sol Kwon hurriedly called one of her connections.

“… Representative Kwon Ye-sol. Didn’t I say it was dangerous to meet like this?”

“Enough, Inspector Choi. Check out the status report. Are there many people who really believe in that 10 billion theory?”

Choi Dong-hun, a small man in his early 30s, appears with a complicated expression and looks at Kwon Ye-sol.

As the title Inspector suggests, he was a police officer.

More precisely, he was the executive director of the ‘Korean Desk’ at the Cebu Police Agency. Since there are so many Koreans who commit or suffer crimes in the Philippines, it was the Korean police dispatched through consultations between the two countries.

Originally, he had to go hunting for people like Kwon Ye-sol, but Inspector Choi Dong-hoon was rather cooperating. Until a few months ago, Ye-Sol Kwon had a role in helping her entertain and entertain VIP guests, but now she was supporting her escape.

‘Even with this human, I’ll be able to protect it by running away.’

Inspector Choi was still doing his duty even when the situation got worse. He gave me money, but we had too many relationships before that.

However, the nuance of the words was a little strange.

“I rented a safe house in the name of a local escort boy I manage. If you’re confined to your house, you won’t get caught, so in the worst case, you can hide there. And the route that takes you out of your body in a hurry to Mindanao is still available.”

“Is it still possible? That’s a bit strange….”

“You can consider me and the Malaysian route to be closed. I’ll have to try, but I’ll probably catch it before I get on board. Whether it be a port or an airport, they said that word about the CEO had already spread.”

“No, wait a minute. What does that mean?”

“That… Phew. Representative Lee Soo-ho mentioned that he intends to reward local immigration officials as well.”

In the end, I couldn’t go to another country. Kwon Ye-sol was speechless at the gloomy news.

Foreign officials, especially Philippine officials who have a special love of money, are familiar with the situation.

I have disguised myself and have a fake passport made with a lot of money, but can I penetrate it with just that?

‘That can’t be. You’re completely stranded, this.’

Inspector Choi, who is in front of me, is also glancing at me while rolling his eyes anxiously. After a while, he thought it was a solution and the means he came up with were pitiful.

“CEO Kwon Ye-sol. Now, safe embroidery is possible through the embassy. Although it is not a special embroidery period for offenders fleeing abroad, if you show creativity, you can handle it similarly. Why don’t you think about it before things get worse?”

I felt sorry for myself because I couldn’t immediately reject Inspector Choi’s proposal and pondered it for a moment.

However, Kwon Yesol only licked his lips and eventually shook his head. If that was the case, he wouldn’t have jumped in the first place.

I could never give up my precious property and personal freedom that I had worked hard to protect.

She was determined to overcome this ordeal by any means necessary.
