Episode 319
As a result, the handing over of Damian Kwan to the Confederate army did not occur.
This is because Cheon Myeong-guk personally ca forward and said that he would collect the ransom.
Since the President said this, I had no choice but to overlook it for once.
Still, it seed better to pass it on for the full price rather than toss it aside.
“But is that possible?”
“Of course, it will be difficult to pay the amount. In that case, you can accept it with sothing else.”
“Other?”
“That’s right. And the Confederate army cannot be left like this.”
This is what Cheon Myeong-guk said.
The Northern Army, led by Wei Hao, was unable to defend Beijing from the Heavenly Demon Armor and had lost its ability to command power. The Northern Army was a coalition of hundreds of forces, and Yu Hao and Li Zhenhuo’s abilities were not enough to unify them.
If so, the problem is the Confederate army.
Even though I blew up the research institute in Chongqing, China still has hegemony.
Due to the nature of China’s endless efforts to beco one, there is a high probability that the Southern Confederacy or the West will be suppressed imdiately if a ceasefire is reached.
Cheon Myeong-guk has no intention of letting that go.
“I will relay the situation of the Confederacy to the Confederacy. And we plan to provide full-scale support.”
This is not an endorsent of the Shinsung Group, but rather an outright support.
The Confederate army rebels?
I don’t care about that.
Even if the weak bark, there is no reason for the strong to react.
“They will ask you to pay on the island.”
“island?”
“yes. “We are trying to develop the oil trade supplied by Choin into a bigger trade.”
In the course of that trade, countless military supplies would flow into the Confederacy. At the sa ti, they are planning to expand their influence in Southeast Asia and form a huge trade bloc.
It was a more blatant and bolder move than during the ti of President Jeon Han-cheol. It was surprising because it was a movent completely different from the public opinion that it would be colorless and tasteless.
After all, he is not an ordinary nobleman.
At this level, it seed like there was aning in saving Damian Kwan after receiving the request.
“I will trust you on that part, Mr. President.”
“I will repay your trust.”
I feel like the decision has beco easier because I have the simulation.
As expected, I communicate well with Cheon Myeong-guk.
I thought it would be okay to expand my work further in the future.
“And I plan to go to the United States with Jeong Da-hyun soti soon.”
“Are you talking about Secretary Jeong? “Is it because of sothing related to Secretary Jeong’s parents?”
As expected, Cheon Myeong-guk also knows.
“There’s that, and there’s also the part of going to get what the U.S. governnt promised. “You know Jeong Da-hyun’s situation well.”
“Isn’t this talent managed at the national level? In addition, personnel verification is carried out.”
However, he said that it was not appropriate for him to intervene in this matter because Dahyun Jeong’s parents are in the United States.
“The United States will try to use Secretary Jeong’s parents as leverage to bring Secretary Jeong to the United States.”
“Dahyun Jeong has no intention of doing that.”
“I want to believe that too, but you never know when things may change in your family’s affairs.”
“Let’s pay attention to that part.”
“We will provide as much information as possible, so please take good care of Secretary Jeong.”
The request did not seem to be directed towards a subordinate.
“It’s pretty intimate, isn’t it?”
“If you are Jooho’s nephew, you are no different from my nephew.”
Well, one thing is clear. Cheon Myeong-guk had Jeong Ju-ho in his mouth and was not going to let go.
I would like Jung Joo-ho to be next to Cheon Myeong-guk, so I should support him.
“We will cooperate as much as possible.”
“thank you.”
As expected, I get along well with Cheon Myeong-guk.
[I guess that’s just your opinion?]
* * *
“It may be a paynt, but it’s a show of force. “The Confederacy, which has no one to rely on, has no choice but to accept our proposal, even though it knows it is unreasonable.”
At the eting with Lee Se-hee, I was able to hear about the governnt’s plan.
“It can be seen that the previous governnt is expressing its solid military power to the outside world. “Thanks to Junho, I have that level of competency.”
The truce between the Confederate and Northern armies has beco a fait accompli, and if that happens, the only window left for the Confederacy to survive is our country. They plan to use this to expand their influence in southern China and Southeast Asia by acquiring islands in southern China and using them as ports.
“If a huge economic bloc is ford with our country at the center, we can reap enormous profits.”
It is said that my favorability rating is very high in Southeast Asia, including the case of Woo Aye Cho and the removal of the dictator Zhou Quan.
But I haven’t officially dealt with Zhou Quan.
Even if I say it’s not true, they don’t believe .
[There’s just no evidence, so who could be there but you?]
Not only that, they say they plan to turn the reduced frequency of monster hunting due to into overseas expeditions.
But isn’t it usually prudent to send a talented person from your country to a foreign country?
“How can I think differently when Junho is there? “If you think even the slightest bit strange, your head will blow off.”
That too. It seems like if you’re scared, you won’t be able to do anything foolish.
“And I think I’m going to Arica with Jeong Da-hyun.”
“Dahyun and Arica? “Dahyun is going to Arica?”
“Because I have to let go of the issues I have with my parents.”
“…Dahyun made a big decision. “I thought it wouldn’t be easy to escape from my parents’ shadow.”
“Can I hear the details?”
“It’s not a very interesting story. “It is a reflection of the parents’ desire to use their children to achieve success.”
The story of Jeong Da-hyeon that ca out was really nothing special. It is an obsession with values and justice that has been enforced since childhood.
Jeong Da-hyun’s parents wanted to treat their talented daughter as if they were their own property. And when the United States recognized his talent and offered generous conditions, he tried to use that to achieve success.
However, Dahyun Jeong’s decision was not in it.
It was Jung Joo-ho who stopped them from taking their children to the United States and using them for their own success.
By taking Jeong Da-hyun, who was trying to get trapped in her own world, to the National Protection Bureau and helping her step by step, she was able to avoid the worst situation.
If it’s good for Jeong Da-hyun, it’s good.
Is that why you were shouting for such old-fashioned justice?
Compared to Jeong Da-hyun, who died by my hands when I had a hematoma, she seed more rigid and inflexible.
“From Dahyun Jeong’s perspective, it would be good to take this opportunity to finish it off.”
“Dahyun’s parents will not easily back down because she is a talented person who will beco a future superhuman.”
“Does Jeong Da-hyun think about her parents a lot?”
“….”
Lee Se-hee, who was looking at blankly, opened her mouth with difficulty.
“…No matter how bad they did, they are still parents. “I want to stop you from killing them or turning them into idiots.”
“I didn’t say anything.”
[There are things I do on a regular basis, but this quick-witted person just ignores them.]
I only thought about that a little bit. It tastes sour to be caught right away.
“Let’s resolve it as best as possible.”
“Then that’s a relief.”
Parents who used their children to advance their careers did not look very good.
However, it is difficult to attribute Jeong Da-hyun’s developnt to her parents because she is talented and can reach high places on her own if she is motivated.
Oh Jong-yeop also beca the head of the National Defense Bureau and got married soon after.
The person who will beco the person will beco the person.
So, if we don’t kill Dahyun Jeong’s parents or turn them into idiots, what other way is there?
Since we have ruled out the easiest thods, there is nothing suitable.
“While you’re here, why don’t you take a look around the guild?”
“Sure.”
I wanted to take a look and see what kind of environnt Yunhee was training in.
* * *
On the way to the Sacred Guild training room, Lee Se-hee explained to Yun-hee about her guild life.
“It was revealed that she is Junho’s younger sister, but Yoonhee is doing well. In fact, he is the most popular among his classmates.”
“It’s a custom.”
“…I can’t really express it that way, but I’m the type of person who enjoys attention from people around .”
It was packaged nicely, but in the end, it was just an indulgence. At first he was taken aback by the fact that he was my sister, but soon he began to enjoy the attention and take advantage of it.
It’s behavior like a guy.
“He’s actually a very capable guild mber. He trains hard and his skills are outstanding. “I would go so far as to say that if we had a few more guild mbers like Yunhee, we could achieve much better results than we have now.”
“I’m glad it pays for the food.”
“It’s not because I’m Junho’s younger brother. “Yoonhee is truly an outstanding talent.”
“Even so, it’s not enough in my eyes.”
“…Isn’t it rather surprising that there is soone who catches Junho’s eye?”
Anyone who sees will see that my standards are extrely high. I just want it to be at a level where I don’t have to go anywhere and get beaten up.
[Isn’t that what it is?]
Of course not. You could say my standards are high, but it goes without saying that there needs to be so level of deterrence to avoid getting beaten up.
That’s why Yunhee has to keep rolling. He’s a tough guy, and it’s a sha he went back to the US at a ti like this.
When Lee Se-hee and I entered the training room, all eyes gathered. Then, when he saw , he started to swallow empty air everywhere.
“uh? brother! “What brings you here?”
Yunhee, who was on one side, ca running like a squirrel that found food.
“While I was at a eting, I ca because they offered to show around.”
“Oh yeah? I did sothing again because I don’t usually do it. It’s a good thing. “I already said I would introduce you to the people I work with.”
Then, Yunhee took to where her colleague was. The people who went hunting with Yunhee ranged in age from their 30s to their 50s.
This age group is when they are at their peak in the field, and people in their 60s, when their skills begin to decline, often withdraw from the front line.
Rather, just seeing Yunhee, who is in her 20s, playing an active role on the front line shows that she has great talent.
However, he is a very shy guy, so unless people around him encourage him, there is a high possibility that he will stay at his current level.
I have to be more careful with this.
Yunhee introduced her colleagues to one by one. They were all hunters with undisturbed montum. He had the neat spirit and skills of a mber of the Sacred Guild, the best guild in the country.
Then I was introduced to a handso man in his early 30s.
“This is Jang Tae-ju, my direct senior.”
“It’s an honor to et you, Choin. “My na is Jang Tae-ju.”
I shook hands with the slightly flushed man.
Then, I was able to sense a subtle current between him and Yunhee.
Look at this?
Yunhee, who made eye contact with , widened her eyes as if she had noticed what I had noticed.
It was a warning in its own way not to do anything foolish.
Naturally, I had no intention of doing anything foolish.
But I have no intention of listening to what Yoonhee says.
As an older brother with a younger sister, I’m just verifying whether the guy who could beco my future brother-in-law is the right guy.
I looked at Jang Tae-ju and asked him outright.
“What do you think of our Yunhee?”
“brother! What are you talking about!”
Yoon-hee shouted loudly, but I pretended not to hear and stared at Jang Tae-ju.
The guy who was confused at first was unable to avoid my persistent gaze and soon took on a determined expression and spoke.
“Yoonhee and I have a positive relationship with each other. “I’m sorry for not telling you in advance because it was still too early.”
“senior.”
“Don’t worry, Yoonhee. “I will take full responsibility.”
“Yep.”
Yunhee looked touched after hearing the words spoken.
To be naive.
So, if a neat-looking guy approached , it would have been easy to get away with it.
Fortunately, I had a tendency to spend more than save, so I didn’t have any money saved.
Then there will be less money to be scamd.
Of course, I’m not saying that Jang Tae-joo is like that, but Yoon-hee’s future is at stake. As the older brother, I have the right to make sure my younger sister is dating a decent guy.
“Anyway, Yoonhee is an adult and has no intention of interfering with everyone she ets.”
Yunhee and Jang Taejoo’s expressions brighten at my words.
“of course. Am I a child? “I know everything.”
I can’t stand it anymore and I’m talking.
I will listen to people until the end.
“But now that we have found out like this, we as a family cannot just ignore it.”
“Oppa, what do you an?
“…That is correct.”
Unlike Yoon-hee, who jumped up and down, Jang Tae-ju nodded with a stern expression.
[The expression on his face ans he’s already been beaten?]
Yongyong’s expression of being beaten was excessive.
I just want to see how skilled the guy targeting my little sister is.
A superhuman could suddenly attack you while you’re walking down the street, right?
I don’t even want to defeat that superhuman. But you should be able to take so ti.
[In what country in the world do superhuman villains roam freely?]
You don’t know what’s going on in the future.
and.
In practice, I may be able to show more than I thought.
[Aha, I guess I was mistaken. I just wanted to beat him up.]
Yongyong seriously misunderstands my intentions.
If you want to think like that, think about it. Because the essence does not change.
I said while looking at Jang Tae-ju.
“There is nothing to be nervous about. You just have to show your skills. If you want to go sowhere with Yoonhee, you have to have the skills to at least avoid getting beaten up, right?”
“….”
I smiled at him to tell him not to be nervous.
Smile?
[Are you going to laugh?]
Then don’t laugh.
Instead, it would be better to bite your teeth tightly.
“Let’s get started.”
