Episode 110 [ Legacy (1) ]

An old man was sitting in the living room of an old-fashioned mansion, answering the phone.

It was a luxurious house that was hard to replace in Seoul.

“Hehe, I’m sorry. “We would like to help, but the group’s situation is not that good.”

The old man answering the phone was speaking fluent Japanese.

“…Let’s do it that way. “Then I’ll contact you again later.”

The old man hung up the phone as soon as the other person finished speaking.

“It’s been a while since I heard from Mitsubishi asking for help.”

The old man muttered after hanging up the phone. Of course it was Korean.

He put down his phone and looked at his son standing next to him.

He was now a mature middle-aged man, but in the eyes of the old man, he was still just an immature child.

“You made things complicated.”

“sorry. President.”

The vice president bowed his head.

The chairman glanced at his son who lowered his head and continued speaking.

“It wasn’t so bad this time though. “There was no damage to the company and the competition was eliminated.”

The vice president’s expression darkened at his father’s words.

It was something that was carried out on its own without any separate reporting. But the chairman knew everything.

Fortunately, I didn’t think I would be scolded too much this time, but it seemed like it would be difficult to escape my father’s clutches this early.

“Anyway, thanks to you, I got a chance. “We absolutely have to win this contract.”

After the Natas press conference, companies that make things like car generators and the oil industry were in an uproar.

Everyone moved to win a contract with Natas.

Companies that were not large enough gave up on their own, but it was a contract that ranked companies could not miss.

Moreover, the announcement that Mitsubishi’s research center was destroyed due to experiments with a mana stone generator sparked this contract.

There were even rumors going around that the exploded generator was a product stolen from Natas Corporation and copied.

Since Mitsubishi also failed, it was clear that replication would be difficult for the time being.

In response to the Chairman’s words, the Vice Chairman cautiously opened his mouth.

“Mitsubi and Japanese companies brought up the story of a consortium. Our SG is the main source and their overseas branches provide support. “It may be blindfolded, but wouldn’t it be good to increase scale?”

Pressure was coming from Japan. Since we participated together, they asked us to take some responsibility.

It was an annoying story, but the vice president couldn’t miss the line with Japan.

The chairman looked at his son.

“That was the story of the phone call just now. But is there a reason for that? Excluding Japan, how many companies in Asia will our group work with? “There is no need to share the pie and take unnecessary risks.”

Even though there was China, the chairman was confident. It was a company located in the United States. Moreover, the representative is Korean. There was no way they could leave SG behind and give the contract to China.

Vice Chairman Kim’s expression darkened at the Chairman’s words. He was waging a war of succession, putting Japan behind him. It was clear that as the ties with Japan became thinner, succession would become more difficult.

Of course, the decision of his father, the chairman, was the most important, but the chairman was a businessman who only thought about the group.

As the eldest son, he was closest to the position of chairman, but he could not feel at ease.

“So, as well as our relationship with Japan, we decided to leave this bidding to your sister.”

“father!”

The surprised vice president shouted.

“At work, call your position.”

But the chairman’s expression did not change.

“But Mr. Chairman, I am in charge of heavy industry and new business. Why…”

“You must have something else to do.”

“yes?”

“Did you say Yanggangdeok? “We have to replace the creator hidden in that organization.”

What the chairman said was not wrong.

“The experiment failed, but the fact that it exploded means that it was activated. “I’m saying I didn’t lie at all.”

The chairman continued.

“If only we could replace the maker, we could make it instead of Natas. You focus on that first. Either appease or threaten. “Find it at any cost.”

He had no choice but to agree with his father’s words.

“All right.”

But the chairman’s words were not over.

“And properly finish off those who insulted you. “If you leave those guys alone, nothing will remain but a scratch.”

You even knew about that. The vice president was almost sighing.

* * *

Kyung-hoon sighed.

There were broken tanks and weapons scattered everywhere.

Unlike Seoul, the further south you go, the more scars from the battle remained.

The corpses of soldiers who had been reduced to skeletons were also seen. These were the remains that had been crushed by vehicles and spent a long time trapped in a tram.

[I think this will be my last post. Other units withdrew to the rear. Finally, the Awakened unit also left. I want to desert, but I don’t think running away will change anything.]

[Damn, I didn’t want to become prey to a monster like this…] [

Where have all the awakened people gone?]

[Mom, Mom…]

[Everyone die. !]

The notes found on the remains and the graffiti left on the vehicle and walls showed the situation at the time.

Susssseu.

As Kyung-hoon was examining the traces, he heard the sound of something moving.

Kyung-hoon wrapped himself in a cape and hid under the broken down car.

Crumble.

A two-headed wild dog monster passed in front of the car, sniffing.

The monster did not notice Kyung-hoon hiding under the car. The cloak completely covered Kyung-hoon’s appearance.

The monster sniffed around and moved to another place.

When the monster’s footsteps disappeared, Kyung-hoon sighed.

“That’s a search, right?”

-yes. You can’t see them looking for food.

Unlike before, it was now a monster no bigger than a fist. However, it has become difficult to kill them carelessly.

It was after Cheonggyecheon was overturned.

Many monsters began to move systematically.

Of course, there were many monsters that were no different from before, but the monsters that formed large groups were wandering around looking for something just like now.

A few days ago, I thoughtlessly killed a monster wandering around the field and ended up being chased by a group of hundreds of monsters.

“You’re not looking for me, are you?”

-Based on the data we have researched so far and what the owner has done, the probability is more than 30%.

“It’s vague.”

-In times like this, it is better to be careful.

Eve was right, but there was only a short distance that could be moved.

But this time I decided to listen to Eve.

Even the Cheonggyecheon monster was a monster that we couldn’t deal with now. There was no telling what other monsters would lurk in Daejeon.

Kyung-hoon, who was trying to get out of the vehicle he was hiding in, turned his head and looked to the side.

There was a bone lying next to where he lay. It was the remains of someone who had died lying under the vehicle.

It wasn’t scary, but I felt sorry. It seemed like the deceased’s sleeping place was being invaded.

“sorry.”

Kyung-hoon apologized to Yugol.

It was a remains dressed in an officer’s uniform. The skeletal remains were holding a piece of paper in their hands.

Kyung-Hoon took out a piece of paper from Yugoslav’s fingers.

-This is an operation order.

Perhaps because of the passage of time, only half of the order was left.

[…The Awakened unit withdraws to Daejeon City Hall.

4. This command takes precedence over all commands. The unit is responsible for the defense of Daejeon City Hall.

5. The protection of key figures and the defense facilities installed in the basement of the city hall must be protected as much as possible….]

And there was a trace of writing with a ballpoint pen on the order. It was a roughly written sentence.

[sorry. I don’t think my brother can go. If anyone replaces me, tell my younger brother…]

It was a sad story, but it was an old story.

Kyung-hoon took out his dog tag and notebook and put them in his pocket. The notebook contained old family photos.

Although I couldn’t replace my younger brother, I was able to at least look around on the way.

All Gyeong-hoon knew was that the military gathering place was Daejeon. Thanks to you, I knew exactly where to go, so I thought I would make a small effort.

Kyung-hoon got out from under the car. And I checked the time.

“Is it almost time for the presentation?”

-yes. Announcement in 10 minutes.

Kyunghoon looked at the southern sky.

There was still some time to pass before it got dark.

“Then let’s just go to the Daejeon border today.”

-Please be careful.

Kyung-Hoon nodded and flew toward the south again.

After Gyeong-hoon disappeared, the two-headed wild dog monster returned.

The monster sniffed under the car where Kyung-hoon was. And then he hurled his head towards the skeletal remains.

***

Same time.

A sharp war of nerves was taking place in the U.S. State Department conference room.

One side engaged in a war of nerves was the Secretary of State, the second-in-command in the U.S. government, and the other was a man whose face was unrecognizable.

The head of EV’s Americas, who is conducting negotiations with the United States. It was James.

“Natas is an American company. “The U.S. government can restrict the export list of its companies.”

“You must think about the suffering humanity.”

“But you must also think about your country’s interests. The mana stone generator is more than a strategic item.”

American citizens, politicians, and the media were very noisy with Natas’s announcement.

The issue was whether mana stone generator manufacturing could be done overseas.

Of course, that story has been around since the alliance with the Russian company Mingaz.

However, this subsided when the dictatorial Russian government was overthrown and Mingaz’s chairman became the leading candidate for the next president.

But this time, the street was much noisier. This was because it was not sent to one country and it was not known which country we would join hands with. The political world, the media, and the business community were noisy, but strangely enough, the government remained silent.

It was difficult for people to understand, but the U.S. government had no choice.

This was because the opponent was EV, not Natas.

“I am opposed to manufacturers opening up in countries that pose a threat to the United States. EV and Natas should take that into consideration.”

“I don’t know why you’re telling EV what happened with Natas.”

The Secretary of State frowned as he looked at the man with a blurred face.

There was no way the U.S. government could not replace out what the Japanese company had discovered.

The U.S. government discovered a long time ago that the core of the mana stone generator was the pattern engraved on the mana stone and its material.

The U.S. government also knew that the material was the same type of dye used in the patterns on Awakened equipment.

In the end, the core of the Mana Stone Generator was given by EV.

The U.S. government had already discovered through many experiments that each pattern required the right material for that pattern.

The U.S. government did not even dare to create a separate mana stone generator.

“I definitely relayed it to EV. We are different from Russia. “I don’t mean to belittle EV, but it would be best not to be too presumptuous.”

James was truly grateful that the other person couldn’t see his face,

because if he had, his pale face would have been clearly revealed.

‘How on earth did you get involved?’

James licked his lips as he remembered the man in the sunglasses.

“Maybe there’s nothing to worry about. Now it’s presentation time.”

At James’s words, the Minister turned on the TV in the conference room.

Dr. Hye-rin appeared on the screen.

[I will announce the countries and companies that have been decided with great precision. For the UK, Brazil, South Africa, Australia, and Asia, Korean companies have been decided….]

James spread out his hands and the minister looked satisfied.

The presentation continued, but now the presentation was out of the question of the two people.

“Then shall we talk next?”

“That’s right. “We can increase the amount of equipment further…”

*

Dr. Hyerin’s presentation was being broadcast around the world via satellite broadcast.

Korea was also watching the presentation.

In the SG Chairman’s office, the chairman’s group was gathered to watch the presentation.

Announcement that it was a Korean company . When came out, the conference room erupted in cheers. If it was Korea, it couldn’t have been any other company.

They watched the broadcast with relaxed faces.

The names of the companies came out one after another. England, Brazil, South Africa, Australia.

And then it was the last turn.

[…. Lastly, the Korean company is Baeksan Group.]

There was silence in the conference room.

The Chairman’s daughter had a white face and the Vice Chairman had an embarrassed expression on his face.

He did not know whether to be happy or angry.

But the old chairman’s face was full of anger.

“Why? Baeksan? The guy who was struggling in the hospital signed a contract with the company? What happened?”

However, no one in the conference room knew the reason.

Chairman Baeksan’s line of conversion had finally paid off.
