Chapter 170 – Episode 20. After All, the Main Character Is the Main Character.
Jin Yong-tae gets out of the car and Han Yu-kyung, who was looking worried, suddenly turns cold. Park Sang-beom, who was bothering him even when he was alive, was bothering him even after he died. Han Yu-kyung called Lee Yeon-ju on her security phone. She used a specific app to make the call so that the contents could not be known to telecommunication companies or hacking groups that eavesdrop on radio waves.
-Yes, boss.
“There’s a bomb I got from BS Defender.”
-Yes.
“You need to detonate that bomb at the address I’m giving you.”
Following Han Yu-kyung’s instructions, Lee Yeon-ju kept her silence for a moment. Exploding a bomb in a building… Isn’t this no different from a bombing?
-… Could you explain in detail?
“Is there a blood stain on the front door of Base Tech? “The identity of the blood stain is none other than Park Sang-beom.”
-Oh my god… ! Sangbeom Park is the grandson of the chairman of BS Group, right?
“I was attacked and there was nothing I could do. We couldn’t just die, so we had to fight back. The body was disposed of well, so don’t worry… Our materials will be on the computer at the address I gave you. Clear it and explode the building. “If the BS Defender bomb comes out at the scene of the explosion, it will have a big effect.”
BS Defender was a company run not by Park Sang-beom’s father, Park Il-soo, but by Park Il-man’s son, Park Young-beom, who was a rival in the fight for the chairmanship of BS Group, so if a BS Defender bomb were to appear at the explosion site, there could be a rift.
Of course, if Park Il-soo were cool-headed, he would think something was strange, but Park Il-soo, who lost his son, would not be able to make a cool-headed judgment.
Han Yoo-kyung didn’t know if they would succeed or not, but if they succeeded, they would throw away all interest in themselves and cause BS Group’s self-destruction, and even if they failed, Vanguard’s involvement would not be known because all traces were completely erased anyway.
“There will be no victims anyway because there are no people.”
-… Okay, boss. There is no need to fight with the BS group, so we will handle it without a trace.
“We need to take care of our alibi, so I ask the Black Team to do it and we have a meeting at that time.”
Black Team was a team of unregistered members of Vanguard who carried out operations that were difficult to reveal to the public. In Korea, Vanguard’s external image was that of a security company, so the black team was doing a lot of work behind the scenes.
-Yes, I will go to the conference room now.
Han Yu-kyung said see you soon and hung up on her. Dixon, who was listening to her phone call, looked at Han Yu-kyung as her room mirror and opened her mouth.
“Boss, it looks like you’ve become more meticulous than when I first saw you.”
“It’s a matter of survival. “Now not only my life is at stake, but also the lives of Vanguard, Dixon, and Yongtae, so I have to do better.”
Dixon recalled Han Yu-kyung when he first met her. At that time, Han Yu-kyung was a delicate girl, but she gradually showed a ruthless attitude toward her enemies.
Dixon couldn’t tell if Han Yu-kyung’s growth was a good thing or if it was bad because Han Yu-kyung’s original goodness had diminished.
“Please go to headquarters quickly. “I need to start the meeting before the bomb explodes.”
“Yes, boss. “I will speed up a little more.”
Dixon took his eyes off the room mirror and focused on driving. In the end, the reason Han Yu-kyung became ruthless was not because of herself, but for the people around her. Dixon drove on, thinking that Han Yu-kyung’s goodness had not disappeared, but that she had temporarily changed form. Han Yu-kyung’s lively voice was heard from behind her.
“Ah! Did you get a KakaoTalk message from Yongtae?”
###
After finishing the assassination at Club Z, I thought for a moment. Where are you going? I had no intention of attending a boring Vanguard meeting. And it was boring to go to Han Yu-kyung’s house when no one would be there. It’s a bit weird to come all the way to Korea and stay at Han Yu-kyung’s house. Although today is my second day in Korea… Ah, it’s past midnight, so it’s the third day.
I took out her phone and sent a KakaoTalk message to Han Yu-kyung.
Jin Yong-tae: The club matter has been completely taken care of. When do you think the meeting will end?
Han Yu-kyung: You worked hard, wasn’t it? ㅠㅠ Um, the meeting lasts about one or two hours? I think it will take.
Jin Yong-tae: I understand. I’ll walk around the house a bit and come in on time.
Han Yu-kyung: Yes, and I’m sorry I’m busy with work when I came to Korea😭
Jin Yong-tae: No. I was involved too.
Han Yu-kyung: Yes… ! You might be late, so don’t wait and have fun!
Jin Yong-tae: If anything unexpected happens, please contact me.
Han Yu-kyung: I understand❤️ Have fun~
I haven’t decided what to do in particular. It’s hard to meet Ha Joo-yoon in about an hour or two… And if it were Ha Joo-yoon, he would have fallen asleep quickly for management reasons. He manages his diet very thoroughly, and sleep management must also be significant.
Hmm… Okay, now that we’re in Korea, shall we take a look at the NPC that shows up Megacorp’s youngest son? The story may change if you accidentally meet a major NPC, so choose an appropriate character…
Okay, I’ve decided! I decided to go see an NPC that was close to Han Yu-kyung’s house and had no influence on the story. I caught a taxi.
“Please go to Korea University Station.”
“Yes, I’ll be there soon.”
I told him my destination and took a taxi. Hmm, it’s 2053 and the fare meter is still running… ! But why do the horse’s legs move so fast? Actually, if a horse could run that fast, there wouldn’t be a need for a car, right?
Even though I had a lot of money, I watched the words moving on the meter screen as if I was fascinated. I looked at it like I was fascinated, and before I knew it, I had arrived at my destination.
“It’s 38,000 won.”
I swiped my card into the card reader on the side of the exit door, made payment, and opened the door. I immediately saw the entrance station of Korea University.
I got off the taxi and went straight down to the basement of Korea University Entrance Station. And I found a bathroom in the corner. I went into the disabled bathroom, which was neither the men’s nor the women’s bathroom, and pressed on one wall as I remembered, and something resembling a scanning device appeared. I picked up my phone, opened the Dark App and brought up the authentication screen, then held it up to the scanning device.
The wall opened smoothly with a swooshing sound as if authentication was successful. This was the Seoul branch of the Cancer Society. As I entered the entrance, there were not many people walking around. Most of them were people who bought goods at the window and went to receive them.
In order to be able to conduct offline transactions like this, you had to use points to raise your level in the black market app, which can only be used by invitation. The reason why such a more complicated method was used was, of course, because it was a secret transaction, that is, a backroom transaction. This is a place that sells goods that are not allowed to be bought or sold without paying taxes.
Recently, I spent a lot of points, probably because I was hoarding glasses from historical sites, so I was upgraded from a regular member to a plus member that allows offline transactions. Since I came to Korea almost immediately after that, this was my first time transacting offline.
The next step is to become a DIA member so that you can attend the black auction. Rare items often come up at auctions, so it was a good idea to become a DIA member quickly. If there’s something good in offline trading today, I’ll buy it in abundance and raise my rating.
Of course, I won’t buy things I don’t need just to raise my level, but… There are so many amazing things that I end up buying them without even realizing it.
I went in front of a window. Sitting at the counter was a beautiful woman with pink and white hair with an angel ring on top of her head. Her name is Eve. She was the NPC I was trying to see with artificial intelligence Ai. Because I was one artificial intelligence AI that was connected to the entire world, even if I met him here and returned to Tokyo, he would recognize me.
“Hello, Ryuta. “Is this your first time making an offline transaction?”
Perhaps because it was scanned at the entrance, it says my name right away. It was a natural voice that could not be considered artificial intelligence, but the voice of a lively and cute girl. In fact, she looked very real, but Eve’s current appearance was a hologram. So, of course, Eve was not a target for targeting, and users who suited Eve’s taste called the youngest son of Megacorp, who could not target Eve, a shit game.
Of course, please let me conquer Eve! There were many people who criticized the minority groups who desperately cried out, calling them machine bak.
“Yes, I would like to see the Seoul branch catalog.”
“Great! “I will show the catalog to Ryuta.”
Eve’s catalog screen unfolded before my eyes. Oh, as expected, there were quite a few items in the Seoul branch. See… What is good to buy? There are so many that you’ll run out of time just flipping through the pages.
“Is it hard to choose?”
“Um, could you please narrow it down to elixirs, weapons, and valuable books?”
“All right! Please wait a minute!”
As expected from a high-performance AI, it only lasted about 0.01 seconds. Wait for me! Immediately afterwards, the catalog screen selected by Eve appeared.
“Hmm… !”
First, I put the eye clinic I could see right in my shopping cart. There were so many people wanting to buy it that it sold out as soon as it came out, so I was lucky to have it here. There were two, so I put them both in my shopping cart.
In dark offline transactions, once you put something in your shopping cart, it is important to put it in your shopping cart as quickly as possible because no one else can buy it.
“You’re lucky. “Those two primary ophthalmology clinics are the last primary ophthalmology clinics left in Korea.”
“I’m really lucky to have two left.”
“Recently, an herbalist discovered a colony of juangua trees and hit the jackpot. So the Korean branch was hot for a while. “Rich women from all over the world came to Korea.”
Until then, I couldn’t get this kind of information, perhaps because I was a regular member of the Dark Society, but now that I have become a Plus member, I was able to get good information by talking to Eve. Although there was a prerequisite to meeting Eve frequently, Eve was famous for giving quite advanced information.
The next thing I chose after Juan was a swordsmanship book called Goksanpaunggeombeop (谷山波風劍法). From what I remember, it was a fairly high-level swordsmanship book, so I put it in my shopping cart to give it to a colleague or subordinate who could use swordsmanship in the future.
There was nothing special about the weapon. It seemed like it was difficult to find good weapons, perhaps because Korea had strict legal regulations and the market itself was small. Of course, since it was a dark dealer, there were regular firearms, but not enough for me to buy them.
“Oh!”
There was a book of martial arts! I was hoping to give a martial arts book to Kiyohira or Mimata Chieri, but there is only one martial arts book… I got lucky today.
It’s called the octapole linear fist… The name itself seemed strong. Of course, you would have to check the item window directly after receiving it, but it seemed to be a fairly high-level martial arts book.
I finally put the Octopus Linear Fist into my shopping cart.
“Now please calculate.”
“What do you want to do with the items? Can you deliver to my registered address? Or would you like to take it?”
Hmm, if you get caught on a plane with old books, it could be a problem with cultural property leaks, so I guess I’ll just have to send them through the dark route.
“Please take only one pill of Juangua and deliver the rest to the registered address.”
“Yes! A total of 1,507,237 points!”
I was lucky that I had charged the glasses when I was stocking up on them at the historical site. Otherwise, I would have fallen short. Since 1 point is 1 dollar, it was roughly a little less than 2 billion won. Looking at the receipt, I saw that the main ophthalmology clinic accounted for the lion’s share of the price.
“Then, pick up your items at window number 3~! Thank you for using it!”
Eve smiled brightly and waved at me. For some reason, looking at that scene, I empathized a little with the feelings of the mechanized people.
