Chapter 458 – Vacation Quest
When a mercenary working in the same PMC came running, her mom asked what was going on.
“What’s the matter?”
My mother uses a sweet tone in front of me, but her tone changes when she is with mercenaries.
His dad had a slight frown on his face, probably because his time with his family was interrupted.
The reason why the mercenaries rushed so urgently was that there was no problem.
“Chairman Ron came to our PMC in person and is waiting for you two.”
“Is that the old man?”
“Uh, even though Chrome said they couldn’t accept the request because they were on vacation, they’re still insisting on bringing it in.”
My parents were impressed when I heard that the president of a famous military company in the United States had come to the company and was acting unreasonably.
“No, did the old man even become senile? Why is he doing that?”
“I don’t know the details, Chrome is persuading me right now, but it doesn’t work.”
“Ha…Okay, wait a minute.”
“You seem to be having a good time with your son, but I’m really sorry. If the two of them don’t come, there’s an uproar right now even after threatening to recover the company’s investment…”
Originally, I couldn’t understand anything the mercenary was saying because I couldn’t speak English well, but now it was different.
[It seems to be in a very urgent situation.]
Because the system that always helps me interprets comfortably.
‘I must have had a big problem…’
[Shall we find out?]
‘Yeah, I want you to recognize me.’
Before I got the ability, I wouldn’t be able to help, so I would have stayed still, but now it’s different.
According to the system, the current me can survive alone even if a nuclear bomb hits me directly.
With such a body, if something dangerous happened to her parents, she could always destroy her enemies.
Whatever happened, I was able to deal with it with the help of the shop’s items and systems.
‘This kind of thing is good.’
If I didn’t have the ability, I wouldn’t be able to do anything and just worry, but it was nice to be able to move myself.
I also heard the pride of being able to help my parents who raised me up until now. Of course, having this power has to be hidden, so there is a limit to doing it secretly.
My mom, who had been having this and that conversation ever since, told me that she had to go back because she had no choice.
“I’m sorry son, mom and dad, could you wait a minute?”
“Since I’m fine, you can come to her.”
“Our Jinseok is all grown up, and mom and dad understand.”
“Don’t go.”
Saying I’m sorry and watching the back of the mercenary and leaving parents, I said to the system.
‘So how did you find out?’
[Currently analyzing information. Please wait a moment.]
‘Okay.’
Nothing to do while waiting. I decided to just wait at the hotel until the system retrieved the information.
—————————————-
After some time, the system that organized all the information about what happened explained to me.
[Currently, the chairman of a military company named Ron is causing a riot at the company where the user’s parents are.]
‘I heard that before.’
[According to the information, a letter arrived from the military company two days before the user arrived here.]
‘What is it about?’
[It was about touching his granddaughter to get rid of his grudge against the chairman.]
‘They’re garbage.’
You can take revenge directly, but it’s not that, it’s that person’s precious person.
While playing the game, I had never touched the family of my enemies to attack them, so they were nothing more than trash to me.
Revenge is just touching someone you don’t have a relationship with that you should only do to an individual target.
‘But wouldn’t the president be able to stop that kind of thing right away?’
A well-known company in the United States, especially a military company in charge of armed forces, would be able to easily block such a threat. I was curious about that, and the system answered.
[Originally, I would ignore it, but the problem is where the letter arrived.]
‘Where is that?’
[It was openly on the desk where her granddaughter lives.]
‘That’s a problem…’
[Even if not, the president there is famous for sparing his granddaughter, and it happened, so it seems he pays even more attention.]
If it was the granddaughter of the chairman of a military company, she would have been living under tight security, but she broke through and delivered the letter.
Since her precious granddaughter could be in danger, it was understandable for her to run amok.
‘But why are they my parents?’
I can understand that much, but it is my parents who called me.
When I was young, I was curious about mercenary work, so I heard it a few times, and my parents said that they were quite famous in that industry.
No matter how famous he is, he is human anyway. As long as you don’t transcend humans like me, once you’re holding a weapon, you’ll be there.
I couldn’t understand why they insisted on picking up my parents and bringing them over.
[That’s because the user’s parents are quite talented.]
‘Is that so?’
[Yes, my father’s side is famous for thoroughly planning and reducing variables as much as possible to complete any quest with minimal damage.]
‘Mom is?’
[My mother says that she has a very good sense, so she quickly recognizes dangerous situations and avoids them in advance.]
‘Ummm…’
I’m not sure about Dad’s thorough planning because I’ve never seen it before, but when I heard that her mother had a good sense of humor, I naturally nodded her head.
There were a few times I’d lied or faked illness in front of my mother, but it never worked.
‘A mother can do that.’
When I was little, my dad suddenly had a hobby of fishing.
At that time, she bought a lot of fishing rods as a hobby, but she continued to buy them even when her mother warned her not to buy them.
After that, even after the warning was issued, she secretly bought it and eventually gave up after being caught by her mother like a ghost.
‘It was too many for me to think.’
Since he has a lot of money, you might think that that level is okay, but my dad went too far.
Because we bought so many fishing rods, our storage room was full and we couldn’t put anything more in it.
The house was large, so the warehouse was quite spacious, and the fishing rod was foldable, so it didn’t take up much space, but it filled the warehouse.
Even when I was young, I thought that might be too much, so it was natural for my mother to be angry.
‘Is that the end?’
[Yes, because of that, there is an emergency now and we are recruiting a lot of A-class mercenaries.]
‘But they still need my parents?’
[Maybe it’s because I’m anxious. In addition, the user’s parents have a reputation for being quite famous when it comes to escorts.]
After hearing the whole story from the system, I was able to nod my head.
‘You’re more amazing than my parents thought.’
I always heard it in words, so it didn’t touch me very much, but it seemed like it was significant enough for the president of a famous military company to come and make a joke.
Now that I have heard all the reasons, what I will do is how can I help my parents.
There were items in the store anyway, so if you bought them and used them, it wasn’t that difficult to secretly protect one person.
It’s because you can prevent death by simply giving one item with a shield.
‘It’s a problem because I can’t buy weapons.’
The stores are all good, but they don’t sell weapons that can kill directly.
They also don’t sell things like armor that’s just incredibly fraudulent.
If you sell it like that, fantasy games with high difficulty become too easy and people get tired of them.
What would happen if the shop picks up a weapon or armor that increases your stats tremendously just by holding it from the start?
Regardless of the ability you have, you just shoot invincible as soon as you start.
If you go around holding a 100-level monster at level 1 or say the difficulty is difficult because the heroine you want is a princess, they will just destroy the country and commit it.
For this reason, it was impossible to purchase fraudulent armor or weapons.
‘It doesn’t matter if I don’t have one.’
Of course, it was also something I didn’t really need. Even if a nuke flew in, it would be necessary to destroy an island if it had enough durability and power.
All I need is a simple item to protect my parents’ bodies.
That was an item with defensive abilities. Because they were selling accessories with simple effects.
With that thought in mind, I immediately opened the store and found a decent item.
‘I like this.’
What I bought was a pretty neat necklace with [Necklace of Origin] Written on it.
[Necklace of Prayer]
-This necklace automatically spreads a barrier that blocks any attack the wearer receives.
A necklace that can be worn simply by anyone regardless of age or gender.
Since my dad doesn’t like flashy jewelry, I thought this would be fine.
It can only block once, but it is an effect that blocks any attack.
I haven’t tested it, but the system says it’s a level of defense that can withstand missiles.
‘It’s expensive, but this is acceptable.’
The price was only 100,000 points for accessories, but it was absolutely not expensive for a family.
If I can save my life with this, it will be better than anything else.
To be honest, there were a few more deceptive defensive items, but I couldn’t give them away because I didn’t reveal my abilities.
‘Can I just tell you?’
After talking about the ability, I thought about arming it with fraudulent items in reality, but gave up.
If I try to explain this or that, I will be questioned by my mother, and I will be exposed because I see through her lies.
Besides, if you were dealing with humans anyway, this was enough. If something dangerous happens, it’s enough for me to hide and help.
‘Find out more about the people who sent the system letter.’
[All right.]
First of all, the most important thing is to find out who the senders are.
It was important to find them first since they had skills when they saw that they had broken into a house with tight security without leaving any traces.
————————————-
Around the time when Lee Jin-seok was making various preparations by himself.
Upon arriving at the office, Lee Jong-wook and Park Eun-ha immediately headed for the chrome office.
“I’ve been nominated, but why the hell can’t I!!”
“That’s… We can’t help it because we’re also on vacation…”
“How much money did I invest here!! If this is the case, I know I will lose all my investment!!”
I haven’t even arrived at the office yet, but I hear the old man’s voice.
How angry he was, he was pouring out of Chrome’s office, which was well soundproofed by the nature of his job.
– Clap
Park Ha-eun, who arrived first after realizing that the situation was urgent, went inside and found an old man screaming and Chrome crouched in a large body.
“Chrome, what’s going on now?”
“That is…”
“What are you again!!”
When he went in and asked Chrome to understand the situation, Chairman Ron shouted at Park Ha-eun, who suddenly appeared and did not like it.
He was very angry when he was rejected after trying to find a skilled mercenary for his precious granddaughter.
While talking to his superior here, Chairman Ron, who was more angry at the rude subordinate, stopped being angry when he saw the mercenary’s face.
‘Dongyan people?’
There are only two Asian mercenaries in Immortal PMC. The two are currently married and are the most famous mercenaries in escort requests.
He didn’t know it because he dyed his hair blonde, but when he saw her face, he realized that the woman was the mercenary he wanted.
“Are you Casey?”
Chairman Ron, who had been angry just before, returned to a calm face in an instant and asked for his name.
Since the subject of negotiations had come, it was natural to have a proper conversation without getting angry.
In the first place, he, the chairman of a military company, appeared here deliberately and threw up his face, because it was to attract them.
After seeing one more Asian man enter the office, President Ron was convinced.
That those two were the mercenaries he wanted so much.
