CODE NAME: ANASTASIA [Novel]

Chapter 11

Kwon Taek Joo finally found a hotel near the river. It was a shabby hotel far from the high-class hotel the Russian government had arranged for him. There were different types of rooms, but because he needed a hot shower, he chose the most expensive room among them. But when entering the room, Kwon Taek Joo just couldn't understand why this room was more expensive than the others when everything was the same, just an extra window. The small room only had an old bed that could fit one person and a simple table with a broken leg. There was an antique TV that he didn't know would turn on, and of course he wouldn't have dreamed of having wifi in a place like this.

But anyway, as long as there's hot water, everything else doesn't matter. Kwon Taek Joo didn't even take off the clothes that were sticking to his body, but stood under the shower to warm his frozen body, turning the valve all the way to the hot water. But unfortunately, when he finished bathing with cold water, the hot water began to flow out. Not even a regular bathrobe, so Kwon Taek Joo could only wrap a large towel around his waist and go outside.

When he stepped outside, something hurriedly hid in his presence. It's cockroaches. At least three or four children. This insect can mate and lay eggs even in a place where the temperature always ranges from minus 4 to minus 50 degrees Celsius in Siberia like this.

Kwon Taek Joo shook his head dejectedly and threw himself onto the bed without hesitation. As soon as he laid down on the bed, a layer of dust also flew everywhere. Kwon Taek Joo coughed violently from inhaling dust but didn't even bother to get up. Now he didn't have the strength to lift a finger.

The bed would creak every time he tosses even a little. If it were to collapse right now, he wouldn't be surprised. Kwon Taek Joo could only let out a sigh. His body was too tired, his mind was also blank. Just closing his eyes for a moment, his mind became so hazy, his eyelids heavy.

Kwon Taek Joo closed his eyes while calculating the date. It's time to contact his mother again, but his phone and everything is lost, what to do? He imagined himself falling asleep unconsciously and not contacting his mother again. If it's only for a day, it's fine, but if it's longer than a few days, mom will definitely leave the house to look for Kwon Taek Joo. The moment she knew that Kwon Taek Joo was no ordinary civil servant, her mother would fall ill. Mom would ery and say she'd rather go first than see Kwon Taek Joo end up like his father and brother.

No way. Are not! Kwon Taek Joo tiredly raised his upper body again, he picked up the phone on the table and called down to the front desk but there was no usual beep beep sound. No matter how many times I hang up and try again, the phone stays silent. Isn't this phone broken? Sure enough, Kwon Taek Joo pulled out an electrical cord that looked like it had been gnawed by a mouse, dangling from the back.

Frustration welled up. Kwon Taek Joo immediately threw away the phone he was holding. Nothing is right for you today.

What should I do. Kwon Taek Joo ruffles his tangled hair, there's only one way. Kwon Taek Joo did not put on his still wet clothes, but wrapped a towel around his waist and trudged down to the first floor.

Contrary to his concerns, Kwon Taek Joo did not encounter any other guests. The owner was still dozing at the counter, when he knocked on the table, he was startled awake.

"Oh, I'm shocked! What's up?"

"I want to make an international phone call."

"It's going to cost a lot of money, isn't it?"

"Does not matter. Can I pay by card?

The owner casually nodded and brought out an international phone from the counter. Looks like it hasn't been used for a long time so there's a layer of dust on it.
