Chapter 569 – The Conspiracy Begins (2)
Humans must constantly make choices while they are alive.
From small things like what to eat for my next meal to big things that encompass my entire life.
Depending on what you choose, big and small things change.
At the same time, gains and losses also occur.
It is unavoidable.
Because the world is not set up so that you can have everything you want.
That’s why choice is so important.
At least what you gain must be more valuable or greater than what you lose.
Good choices and somewhat bad choices.
By choosing this at a ratio of about 8:2, Han Joo-hee arrived at her current position.
S-class hunter.
Magic Tower Lord.
Archmage.
Wife of national hunter Son Si-woo.
Son Seo-yeon’s mother.
And so on.
She held them all in her arms, too many things for one person to hold.
There was a time when it was her pride and pride.
Yes.
At one time.
“What will you do, Scarlet Witch?”
Office at the top of the 77th floor of Magic Tower.
Her man suddenly came to the space that was only available to her and urged her on.
“Isn’t it time to make a decision? “I feel like I’ve already given a lot of time.”
It’s time.
Yes.
They gave her a lot of time.
Considering her personality of thinking thoroughly before making a choice, but not hesitating the moment the consideration is over, this is quite a lot of time.
But she still couldn’t make a choice.
Because so many things are at stake in this choice.
Persuasion from within the company continues.
“It’s not that difficult for you, is it? On the other hand, the reward will be very sweet.”
She had only one thing they wanted from her.
“It only takes three minutes, Scarlet Witch.”
3 minutes
Only 180 seconds.
“You just need to prevent the use of the barrier for the time being.”
Barrier.
It is a means to protect humanity.
From what?
From monsters.
To catch the monsters pouring out of the crack that has crossed the threshold and entered a break state.
Through this, we gain dispatch time for hunters and evacuation time for citizens, and go one step further to minimize property loss to individuals or the nation.
Truly an indispensable and best means of defense.
The opponent was demanding the neutralization of such a barrier.
That made me even more curious.
‘Why?’
I think about it.
Why did they make such a request?
For terrorism… It’s a bit ambiguous to say.
This is because the barrier, which is limited to a small area, is not very compatible with the villains’ terrorism that spreads widely throughout the city.
In the end, the most effective thing when the barrier is lifted is dungeon break.
That means.
“… Do you guys have any technology to artificially manipulate dungeons?”
“Well.”
A man shrugs his shoulders and avoids answering.
“You haven’t made a decision yet, so it’s difficult for us to tell you everything.”
If you want to listen, agree with our will.
But those words were enough.
An extraordinary technology that artificially puts a dungeon into a break state.
Or, it was no different from admitting that they had something equivalent to that.
The shock that followed was so great that it cannot be described.
‘How on earth do you get that kind of technology…? ?’
Decades after the launch of the Hunter Society.
Research into the dungeon is still active, although no one has found a way to get involved in it.
How did they obtain such a method?
‘If their technology is superior…’
You never know.
In addition to the technologies mentioned now, what other secrets do they have?
Expectations for them are rising rapidly.
If it’s them, maybe.
‘It might really be possible.’
I think I might be able to achieve my wish.
She asked.
“I’m still an outsider, so I won’t ask about the details of the operation. But one thing, I need to know this.”
“After…, Great. “What are you curious about?”
“Your purpose.”
“…”
“What do you hope to achieve through this plan?”
In order to gain something, you have to sacrifice something else.
Every choice comes with a cost, and there are rewards and consequences.
So she had to know.
What can I gain by getting involved in something that could completely shake my life?
It is not simply a sense of belonging as one of them, but something definite.
The man who realized her intentions answered.
“I plan to bring down the vested interests.”
Of course, it didn’t tell everything.
“Those whose path is different from ours, those who are incompetent. Finally…”
A dangerous smile forms on his lips.
“Ordinary people.”
The last one pierces her heart.
The man quickly noticed this and put her last words into her mouth.
“By bringing them down, we will take one step closer to our dreams.”
Well, what should I do?
“Isn’t it enough compensation to be with us?”
She couldn’t find any justification or reason to refuse her man’s question.
No, it was rather appealing.
The dream they drew was because the first step was closely related to their own ideals.
You should accept it without further thinking.
Once you’ve made a decision, focus on it without regrets and don’t look back.
If she were her usual self, she should have done that.
“… Lastly, give me three days. “I’ll give you the answer there.”
“…”
The man’s eyes are trembling.
I didn’t know.
She knew she was a cautious person, but she never thought she would be like this.
Part of me wanted to tell him to answer right away.
“Whoa…, I understand.”
He accepted her offer without saying anything.
It was unavoidable.
Her job is simple, but that one move greatly increases the success rate of the operation.
She decided that it would be better to do as she wanted, rather than to provoke her prematurely and then change her mind.
“I’ll just go. “I’m looking forward to a positive response.”
A man going down in an elevator.
As she felt his presence slowly moving away, she immediately leaned against her back.
I recall the answer from a moment ago.
“… “Why?”
Why did that happen?
Although it was a risky plan, it was also a path toward my ideal.
It’s past time to shrink from risk.
If I was worried about losing what she had in my hand, I wouldn’t have even started.
But why?
Did he ask for time on the spot?
She vaguely knew the answer.
So she left the magic tower to resolve this.
The destination is home.
It was a place where my daughter and husband were.
* * *
Korea is once again hot in the name of Son Si-woo.
It was natural.
A sabbatical year that I never took during my life as a hunter.
How amazing are the hearts welcoming the national hunter who has returned to work after such a long time.
Thanks to this, Son Si-woo was finally enjoying the life of a national hunter.
Wherever we go, we receive an outpouring of welcome and enthusiastic response.
No one will know this feeling of being the center of the world unless they experience it.
Hehe…”
Because of that, I couldn’t help but smile even when I was still.
It was that much fun.
As I watched public opinion sway with every word I said, I felt as if I was a king commanding an army.
“It’s actually not that different.”
Yes.
It won’t be much different.
That’s why his influence on this country was so great.
Perhaps, if the president argues for A and he himself argues for B, wouldn’t there be more people who support B?
Old politicians, seasoned businessmen, and even presidents show respect for themselves.
Maybe that’s why it’s faded now.
In the past, I was made fun of by high school students, and my daily life was delivering bread.
Even more, so after the tightly bound memories began to come loose.
There’s one more thing.
“Welcome, ma’am.”
“You left work early today. “The boss is also home at the moment.”
As I leave the room at the sound of voices coming from outside, I see Han Joo-hee entering the living room from the entrance.
An off-white color that puts the age of mid-40s to shame.
A woman with a unique aura that no one can imitate.
One of the reasons why I chose Son Si-woo out of all the many lives.
“Honey, are you here?”
The way she treated her became very natural.
Because there is no longer any reason to shrink.
At the same time, her lust for him became somewhat diluted.
I still want it.
It was natural.
What man in the world would refuse to spend the night with her?
However, the thirst was not as high as in the past.
I have Michelle, who I hang out with on a regular basis, and there are plenty of other women.
It was also because she realized that there were many women who would spread her legs if she wanted to.
She asks when she found him.
“… “You left work early?”
“Huh. I didn’t have a strategy plan today, so I left work at the guild right away. “And you?”
“I didn’t have much work to do today either.”
I was deeply moved.
She, who couldn’t easily say a word in front of a woman, was able to talk to her so naturally.
He made a suggestion to drive this momentum.
“It’s been a while since we both finished work early. Should we have dinner together?”
Normally, I would have been rejected.
She said she had a lot of work to do, apologized, and told her aunt to bring her share of the meal for her study before leaving.
“Of course. Just wait a moment. “I’ll wash up and come out soon.”
The offer was accepted.
“Uh, huh? Uh! Okay. Take your time.”
I was dumbfounded.
I said it with momentum, but I thought you would definitely reject it?
‘What is this?’
Her answer was completely different from usual.
My heart starts pounding.
Maybe today is the day to break away from the cold marital relationship and return to the way things used to be?
Why, doesn’t it sometimes happen?
These are the moments when a couple who grew apart during a period of boredom manage to get through a difficult time and become close again.
What if it were today?
Exciting! Exciting!
The blood spurting from the pounding heart begins to flow to one place.
He spoke to the woman who was busy in the kitchen.
“Madam.”
“Yes, boss. Anything you need…”
“Please prepare a bottle of good wine as well.”
If anything, he’s a very toxic guy.
The Great Wall of China had already been built in his head.
