EV’s hopage was continuously updated according to the world situation.
Once the Awakened were able to move publicly, several Awakened communities were created.
However, such a community could not keep up with the hopage, which surpasses mankind’s technological capabilities called EV.
Luxury residential area in Manhattan Beach, New York.
In the basent of a mansion, Kyung-hoon was watching a notice on a large screen.
Although it was called a basent, the inside was very luxurious.
A long bar on one side and a sofa and pool table in the center. I even saw a large waterbed.
It originally looked like a place to spend leisure ti, but now one entire wall was covered with monitors. It was the sa scene I saw at the villa in Hong Kong.
This house was one of the hideouts Eve had created around the world.
“Thank goodness it’s underground. “It was a sha that we couldn’t bring in people from Hong Kong.”
He was upset that he had let Jin Xiawei, whom he rescued, stay at the hotel.
［Even if you don’t get caught, it would be better not to bring it if at all possible.］
Her voice echoed throughout the room. Since I wasn’t listening with earphones, it felt new.
“There is sothing to be said for what if. Rather, what does the U.S. governnt say?”
Not long ago, an email ca from an awakened person I knew to belong to the U.S. governnt.
It was a ssage from the U.S. governnt.
The recipient was EV, the website manager.
The U.S. governnt asked EV to purchase equipnt. He said
he would pay a high price, but Kyung-hoon snorted. [In the end
, I accepted the owner’s offer.]
Even if the price was relatively high, it was less than a million dollars per piece of equipnt.
If it had been money before, it would have been worth worrying about, but now there was no need to be concerned about that kind of money. Kyung-hoon said, They asked for sothing else.
〈Legalization of EVs〉
It was a demand for the US governnt to recognize companies made by EVs and the goods they produce and trade.
The US governnt had nothing to say when asked if it was natural to buy their own equipnt
. Several emails went back and forth, and eventually the U.S. governnt accepted.
[It would have been difficult to turn away anyway. They had no choice but to take the form of giving permission.]
[Instead, they insisted until the end that contracts should be made directly between contractors. I guess EV I think I want to see it in person.]
“If you want to see it that way, I’ll have to show it to you.”
***
New York has many attractions. From Manhattan, filled with skyscrapers, to the Statue of Liberty and Ground Zero in New York, which retains a painful history.
And there was Central Park, a resting place for New Yorkers.
It was a place where pigeons flew, exercise and walks, and families on outings had a happy ti.
Not long ago, n in suits started appearing in this park.
n who kill ti by sitting blankly on a bench even during work hours.
These were fund managers who lost their jobs during the recent stock market crash.
Jas was one of them.
The investnt company he worked for was hit hard by this incident. The company suffered huge losses and he was included in the restructuring.
“Was it bound to end up like this?”
He looked blankly at the children playing on the lawn.
“Co on! Mutant monster! Take the Sword of the Awakened!”
“Even if you’re an awakened person, if you get shot, it’s over! Take my bullet. Two-two-two.”
The children had been playing as awakeners for a while.
The story of the awakeners who had recently saved an isolated city from a disaster spread all over the world.
Thanks to this, the popularity of the awakeners also increased among children.
“Don’t imitate the awakeners. How dangerous these people are. “You saw the news about robberies.”
But the parents thought differently from the children.
Jas had a bitter look on his face when he saw that.
Before he was kicked out of the company, he had the sa thoughts as the child’s parents.
He also had a bad opinion of the awakened people.
Crunch.
He crushed the empty can he was holding in his hand. The can beca more and more crushed. After a while, the can turned into a small lumpy iron ball. Even after he beca an awakened person,
that thought did not change.
That thought was not wrong. In the end, he was kicked out of the company because he was an awakened person.
During this incident, the team he led suffered less damage than other teams. This was because it took a conservative position after reading the article sent by EV. However, it did not an that it did not suffer damage, and the company suffered less damage
. The managent took this opportunity to cut him out. On the surface, the reason was to punish the person responsible, but in reality, they were cutting off an awakened person who seed dangerous.
“We weren’t registering an awakened person.”
I was so naive. There was no way the secret could be kept.
He looked at the can that had beco an iron ball.
“Is this going to make a living?”
Although it slowed down thanks to the announcent of new technology in Korea, many financial companies were still collapsing and Wall Street experts were being kicked out. There was
no way for him to return to Wall Street, where the hatred of awakened people was extre.
“Just because I have the power doesn’t an I can fight everything, so what can I do with this? What can you do? Should I do so construction work?…”
For him, who had worked on Wall Street his entire life, powers beyond that of a human were not very aningful.
My white hair turned black again and I no longer felt the muscle pain that I suffered every ti it rained, but that was it.
“If my wife had been alive, I would have been happy because she was strong.
I heard that the governnt was gathering awakened people, but I had no intention of participating in sothing that would obviously involve fighting monsters. As I
was muttering to myself for a while, I heard a voice next to .
” “You seem distraught.”
It was British English.
At so point, a man of unknown nationality was sitting next to .
He had a well-muscled body and was wearing comfortable but luxurious everyday clothes. If I had seen it before it was cut, I would have recomnded investnt right away.
The man seed to have heard all of his embarrassing complaints.
“The unemployed are like that.”
Perhaps because he had let go of all the tension, he was able to talk comfortably with a man he didn’t know.
The drink he gave to quench his thirst was quite tasty.
He was able to talk about everything from everyday life to stories about Wall Street and the world. “
It’s fascinating. “I’m not the kind of person who talks about things like this…”
Jas looked at the bottle of drink he drank. The sweet scent of alcohol flowed from the empty bottle.
I heard a warning sound in my head. I beca unemployed, but to be released like this… It was different from my usual self.
He ca to his senses.
He set the bottle aside and looked straight at the man sitting next to him.
“Where do you co from? What business do you have with a bankrupt like ?”
At Jas’s words, Kyung-hoon grumbled a little inwardly.
‘They said they wouldn’t get caught…’
– It seems the location is the problem.
The drink Jas drank was Jin Xia Wei’s boastful ‘relaxing cocktail’.
Jin Xia Wei never He was confident that he wouldn’t notice anything different, but sothing was strange right away.
In response to Jas’ question, Kyung-hoon took out his cell phone instead of a business card.
“I’m a mber of EV.”
A pattern was moving on his cell phone screen. The word EV appeared between the moving patterns. It was a letter that only awakened people could see.
“I ca to scout.”
Jas looked blankly at his phone.
It was a completely different place than expected.
I thought about other investnt companies, illegal money distribution, drugs, and even Russia in the worst case, but EV.
It seed like the peaceful park had been transford into a world of heroes from a movie.
“This isn’t a story about saving the Earth together, is it?”
He asked a question out of bewildernt, but the other person just looked at him with a puzzled expression.
“Oh, I’m sorry. It was so absurd…”
“It was so unexpected. “I’m sorry too.”
He was finally able to co to his senses after receiving a sincere apology. Coming back to reality, he tilted his head.
“Is EV going to scout ? Although it is an awakened person, it cannot fight at all. “The characteristics are not for combat.”
“I think you misunderstood. We are not trying to scout Mr. Jas as an Awakened person. Of course, scouting itself is impossible if you are not an Awakened person, but we need a businessman and financial expert.”
Jas nodded at Kyung-hoon’s words. He thought of the EV hopage.
When I thought about the items that were posted on the trading bulletin board and would be posted in the future, I felt like a proper expert would be needed.
Jas twitched his eyebrows.
“You investigated . .”
“To scout, you have to really know your opponent.”
It was a long ti ago buried in darkness. I thought it would never co out again, but it ended up being revealed like this.
Jas looked at Kyunghoon. The other person, whose expression and nationality were difficult to identify, was staring at him.
“The timing is crazy. It couldn’t have been you guys doing it, right?”
“Are you saying we caused this situation to scout you?”
Kyunghoon looked at him with a bewildered expression.
“That can’t be possible.”
Jas sighed.
“So what will you do if you join EV?”
“I will beco the head of the Aricas branch. “You will beco the CEO of an EV investnt company established in New York and purchase and manage a company to manufacture products developed by our EV.”
It was a story on a much larger scale than expected.
“Are the things posted on the bulletin board really that great? And do you know how much money it costs to run such an investnt company?”
Kyung-hoon nodded in response to Jas’ question.
“These are the products that will account for more than half of the energy market and the military industry in the future.”
Jas had an absurd expression on his face at the seemingly absurd statent. But Kyung-hoon’s words ended there. No.
“The initial investnt amount is billion dollars. It will continue to increase depending on the situation.”
Jas straightened his posture. The vision for the future was absurd, but the money he was holding was different. If what the
other person said was not a lie, he would beco the CEO of an investnt company worth over $1 billion. This was an opportunity that will never co again. “I want to do it, but there is
one thing . There is a problem. The US governnt doesn’t recognize EVs, right? Even if we operate under a different na, we will be in trouble if we are found out later.”
Kyunghoon smiled at his words.
“This ti, negotiations with the U.S. went well, and we have decided to sign a contract where the U.S. governnt recognizes us. If you accept our proposal, we would like Jas to sign the contract as our representative.”
Jas gaped at Kyung-hoon’s words.
“Is that really the reason you chose ?”
Kyung-hoon gave an ambiguous expression.
“You can’t say it wasn’t there at all.”
Jas sighed. It was risky, but I couldn’t miss this opportunity.
He held Kyunghoon’s hand.
Kyung-hoon gave him a card with no limit and set up the next eting place.
As he left, Kyung-hoon ripped off his disguise. An expert would have noticed, but the other person was an ordinary person. The awkward disguise did not go unnoticed.
“Then we just need to confirm the contract and go to the airport, right?”
-Is there anything useful?
“Even if you don’t have anything useful, you might be able to get so information.”
Kyung-hoon also left after taking a leisurely look around the park.
The children were playing Awakening again without their parents knowing.
***
A few days later,
on the first floor of the Washington State Departnt.
Jas, dressed in a suit, was inquiring with the receptionist.
“It ca from EV. “We decided to sign a contract with the U.S. governnt today.”
The receptionist quietly picked up the phone.
“Take your ti. Don’t get caught on CCTV. morize the face!”
The receptionist twitched her eyebrows at the sound coming from the phone. Although
she was not originally a receptionist but an agent dispatched from the CIA, it was difficult for her to follow her boss’s words.
The man in front of her could not rember what he looked like. He was clearly an ordinary person at first glance. I recognized it, but when I tried to recall it in my head, I couldn’t rember a single thing.
“I don’t rember it even to the human eye. Are you under arrest?”
“You’re arresting soone who ca to sign a contract? Send it up first! Take the ti and figure out what to do!”
In the end, a frustrating command ca from the phone the receptionist was holding.
Jas, who was activating the trait, received guidance from the guide and headed to the contract location.
On that day, EV was officially recognized in the United States.
