Chapter 626 – 626. Clue 2
“Seo Min-jun plans to kill everyone who has coins in SG City and then move to the United States.”
Director Cho doesn’t change his expression even after hearing the story.
Are you too calm? Did you hear correctly?
“Where am I? It looks like it’s a pretty big room.”
“It’s the secret bunker of the ruined Daeho Group.”
Rather, the corners of their eyes slightly raise at what I said this time.
Are you saying it’s more surprising that this is Daeho Group’s bunker than what Seo Min-jun is trying to do?
“It looks empty. Can I burn a cigarette?”
“As much as you want.”
Director Cho just takes a cigarette out of his pocket, lights it, and takes a puff of smoke.
Hey. There is an atmosphere.
I’m not particularly interested in cigarettes, but seeing things like that makes me change my mind.
“That immoral bastard ended up being…”
While smoking, he shakes off the ash in the portable ashtray he had, rubs the butt, and mutters briefly.
And he looks straight at me.
An embodiment of justice or a good person who cannot tolerate injustice. That’s not the case.
I just don’t like the current situation. And it seemed like he didn’t seem to have very good feelings towards Seo Min-jun.
“Who are you to tell me this?”
“Can I say that I am a small citizen who does not want SG City to be ruined?”
“It seems like the concept of a small citizen has been greatly reduced without my knowledge. I guess this is why people say that if you don’t read trendy books, you’ll be left behind.”
Although he seems solemn, he is also subtly joking.
It looks quite kinky and moldy, but I guess you shouldn’t judge everything by its appearance.
“When proposing a deal, it’s best to say exactly what you want, so the other person doesn’t get mistaken.”
“Do you think it’s a transaction? It could be a unilateral order.”
“Directions? Do you give me?”
“Yes.”
Director Cho looks at me blankly.
Then he takes out a cigarette again and puts it in his mouth.
“Whoa. Everyone doesn’t have the basics. The basics.”
Director Cho looks at me with unwavering eyes while exhaling cigarette smoke.
“There is something called basics in the world. Those skills. Having a lot of them does not make you a great person. Do you think you are qualified to give me instructions?”
What? What is so proud? Is it possible to believe in something?
“I guess you’re not that afraid of death?”
“Ha. Death. Death. So? Is there anything you can do to me other than kill me?”
“What do you mean?”
“That’s the biggest problem with Seo Min-jun, that brat. Killing people for a purpose. To simply kill them and get it over with without thinking about finding a way to solve the problem. That’s the behavior of a third-rate person. It’s the behavior of a brat.”〈 Br〉
“Keep trying.”
I was curious as to what kind of novel bullshit they were talking about.
A confident attitude and a claim that seems to reflect the passage of time. I think it would be okay to listen to it once.
“Seo Min-jun is trying to kill all the people with coins in SG City. I hope SG City doesn’t collapse. If you think about these two words together, it seems like you want to leave the city to me instead of that guy. Right? “
“That’s accurate. It’s nice that the story is fast.”
“What if you don’t like it?”
“Huh?”
“What you are saying is that you will give it to me like a king bestowing territory to a vassal. You are probably showing that attitude because you have that level of ability.”
“Well… It’s a shame, but I have the ability.”
“Did you secretly want to brag about your accomplishments when you obediently revealed that this was Daeho Group’s secret bunker?”
“Well, that’s not all. I’m just using it because it’s useful. But looking at the fact that it revealed something that didn’t need to be revealed, I can’t be sure that Director Cho didn’t have that intention at all.”
“Are you planning to kill Seo Min-jun?”
“Yes.”
“It means you can kill someone if you want to. Just like taking a coin out of your pocket.”
“It’s not much different.”
“The opportunity to sort out SG Group and SG City, which had become chaotic after that idiot disappeared, without causing much trouble… Does that seem like a reward?”
“Huh? Isn’t it? I could live the rest of my life whining.”
“I’m still living my life whining, right?”
“Oh. I see.”
“It’s just an inconvenience. I don’t really want that kind of position. But you’re offering me that kind of position and telling me to give you instructions. And if I don’t do it, I’ll kill you?”
“I haven’t said anything about killing him yet.”
“Aren’t you going to kill them? And aren’t you planning on going after the Zhen directors out of greed?”
“Well, there might be a way to do that, but there aren’t many people on the SG board of directors. Other than Director Cho? Oh, this isn’t my idea. It’s that guy Seo Min-jun’s idea. It didn’t seem like the board of directors paid much attention to anyone other than Director Cho.”
“So that means he’s a kid.”
It’s fun.
It’s fun to have a conversation with a man after a long time. Usually I don’t feel like talking for a long time because I’m so annoyed.
There weren’t many people like this other than Seung-gyu or Manager Jeong.
Besides, what should I say about this guy… Bronco? It feels like that.
Fuck. If you pinch me, will you shoot me? If you shoot instead, I won’t be able to tame a wild horse! Shoot! Shoot! Fuck!
It looks like it’s shouting.
“Okay. I made another mistake. I need to be more polite when talking to Director Cho in the future.”
“You still seem like a human being. Rather than that immoral bastard.”
“Is it a compliment? If the reference point is Seo Min-jun, it doesn’t sound like much of a compliment.”
“It’s a compliment.”
“Oh, yes. Thank you.”
Okay. What kind of conversation is this? It’s so fucking funny.
Inside, I’m laughing for some reason without even realizing it. This guy. I like it more than I thought.
“Okay, then… Let’s talk about the deal.”
“Do you want to maintain SG City and SG Group?”
“The group doesn’t matter. As long as SG City is maintained, it doesn’t matter if the group disappears as long as the population of 500,000 is intact.”
“What you’re saying is that the main issue is the continuation of SG City. The group doesn’t matter.”
“That’s right.”
“Is there more?”
“No?”
“Then… Let’s tell you what you want here.”
Confident. What a proud man.
Even though it’s a compliment, they’re still trying to get something more out of it.
A person like this would be called a businessman.
The resourcefulness to make a situation at your own pace and get everything you can.
“Tell me.”
“Never interfere with SG City’s affairs again.”
Surprising? Is that all you want?
“Would you believe me if I said I would?”
“Then, does stamping a seal or seal create coercive power?”
“Ah… That’s not it.”
“I’m making a promise with your conscience. Of course, you can ignore promises and do whatever you want. But if you do that, you’ll end up being pricked by your conscience forever.”
“But compared to your strong response, what you’re asking for is quite emotional, right? In the end, the damage I’ll suffer if I act carelessly is barely enough to prick my conscience? Isn’t that quite insufficient in deterrence or stopping power?”
When I hear things like conscience and promises, I feel like the words I heard earlier are fading a little.
No matter how much you call it business, what meaning does something like that have?
“That’s the only way the weak can appeal to the strong. Is there another way? If so, please let me know.”
“Puhahaha.”
I laughed without realizing it.
Last words. Because I really liked it.
A phrase that acknowledges without hurting one’s pride that one is ultimately inferior while maintaining one’s own status.
Thanks to this, this man’s evaluation has gone up considerably. Like it. This is someone I like.
“Okay, I’ll do as Director Cho says. We’ll make the deal that way. Seo Min-jun will disappear, so please deal with him. And I won’t worry about SG City’s affairs.”
“I’m glad the deal was made. So, will you send me away now? Unfortunately, lunchtime is almost over.”
“Of course. Ah… But I’ll have to send it to the SG Center. That’s the only place it’s saved.”
Although he looked a little disapproving, he nodded, and I immediately opened the gate.
After he left and closed the gate, I went to the artificial garden and sat in the chair where Shinyoung always sat and thought.
Can we really trust Director Cho?
That man could go to Seo Min-jun right now and tell him that someone is trying to kill the chairman.
No, you can use another method without having to go there in person. But… I don’t have to worry about that.
Just because he called Seo Min-jun a traitor in front of me doesn’t mean I trust him.
Just that he’s smart. And knowing how to calculate what will be beneficial.
The method doesn’t matter. I just hope he preserves SG City.
That’s all. It doesn’t matter what the process is. Because he is in a difficult position to point a dagger at me.
More than anything, I liked what he asked at the end.
Don’t worry about them anymore?
That confidence? I liked that. Okay. A man should be able to do that.
I was immediately transported to Las Vegas. And then I came back to Cheongju with Lena.
With her in mind, he immediately went to find Seo Min-jun and checked on the guy who was still at her house.
“Stay in here for a moment.”
He opened the Suwon Gate and closed it immediately after Lena entered.
And blink, phase out, cross the wall, dispel, nullify, sleep.
I took Seo Min-jun, who was sleeping helplessly, and went straight to the Suwon bunker.
“Wait a moment while I work on it.”
Minjun Seo. A guy with fifteen skills. It would be a shame to kill a guy like this so carelessly.
But it is difficult to write it as is. Anyway, since there is a poltergeist, it is difficult to subdue it.
First, let’s start by reading the guy’s memories.
Loop Corporation. Things we know about it.
Since I don’t remember much, it didn’t take long to read.
Then this is done.
This time, I erased all memories of myself.
It’s a shallow act to prevent it from spreading to me even if an emergency occurs, but this should be enough.
Since erasing memories isn’t that difficult, the task didn’t take long, and once it was completed, I handed it over to Lena.
“From now on, this guy is your subordinate #1.”
“Huh? I don’t need any other men than Master!?”
“He’s not a man, he’s subordinate 1. Or he’s used as a slave.”
“Ah…”
“However, never remove the charm. And do not take it outside until you have mastered unlocking it.”
“Yes.”
“Unlocked. Did you take a picture?”
“Yes. I am now skilled.”
“Master it by tomorrow.”
“Yes!? Tomorrow? Anyway, until tomorrow…”
“Do it.”
“Hey. I understand…”
“Take this guy back. I tell you again, the moment this guy loses his charm, you will never see me again.”
“Ugh! I understand! Furthermore, I’ll take good care of it!”
Lena charmed Seo Min-jun, and I moved that guy to Las Vegas.
I wish I could just erase all other memories. But it’s a shame that memories can’t be erased just because of the skill.
Anyway, what if Lena learns to lift the restrictions… Because she will never be able to escape the fascination.
First, Seo Min-jun was solved.
Director Cho will take care of SG City as well. Then, that’s it.
Now I can explore America in earnest.
I’ve spent a lot of time digging, so I need to hurry.
However… It’s a shame that I haven’t made a wish yet.
Next three days. Four days at most.
That’s enough. Umm. What is it?
First, I need to check out Loop Corporation and perfect my skills.
I don’t know what’s going to happen, but I need to prepare thoroughly.
First, I asked Lena to open her LA gate and then went straight over to Loop Corporation.
A company located in the heart of downtown LA. It doesn’t take long to get there by plane.
After saving the location in the sky, I mastered the skill of creating continuous recovery potions and began to trace Seo Min-jun’s memories and look for the person I saw there.
